The next morning, Zhan Zhao got up and saw Bai Yutang changing clothes for Xiao Sizi with a refreshing look.

Zhan Zhao held his chin and looked at Xiao Sizi stretching out his two short arms, and watched Bai Yutang button him. A small red brocade jacket was 23 grape buttons from the side to the front. Bai Yutang had been trying hard for the third time, and each time it was wrong to button it to the end.

The little Sizi raised his hands sore, and pouted to look at Bai Yutang, who was busy, "Baibai, you are so stupid."

Bai Yutang was helpless and thought to himself that who designed the clothes so many buttons, so he asked Xiao Sizi, "Or what if you change one?"

The little Sizi pouted, "No, this is new, I just wore it for two days."

Bai Yutang looked at the sky and had to unbutton all the buttons and decided to try again.

Zhan Zhao looked at it with great interest.

Just this time, Xiao Sizi helped count, "The first... the second... ah, right?"

Bai Yutang carefully pulled down one by one. When he reached the last one and found that there was not one more or one less, Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows.

The little fourth son jumped happily, "It's successful!"

Bai Yutang finally took Xiao Sizi's shoes and looked up. He saw Zhan Zhao leaning against the head of the bed with a smile on his face.

"Awaken?" Bai Yutang put the little boots on Xiao Sizi, put the neatly dressed Xiao Sizi on the ground, and Zhan Zhao also sat up.

The little Sizi ran over and asked Zhan Zhao's knees to him and asked him good morning.

Zhan Zhao rubbed Xiao Sizi's face, "Little Sizi, you are the number one person in the ages. You actually asked that mouse to dress you."

Bai Yutang put on a cloak and gave another piece to Zhan Zhao, saying, "It snowed last night and it was very cold outside."

Zhan Zhao took the cloak, suddenly remembered and asked, "Where did you go last night?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while and said, "Go out for a walk."

...

When the two of them finished packing up and dressed up and came out with the little Sizi, they saw that Yin Hou and Tianzun had already gotten up and were having steaming breakfast in the larger military tent in front of them.

Zhan Zhao and the others also went over for breakfast. Zheying told them that the horse was ready and was waiting outside the city gate, and Long Qiaoguang was already waiting for them.

When Bai Yutang came out, he roughly told Zhan Zhao and others about what happened last night.

On the one hand, Zhan Zhao was very sorry that he didn't see the wolf king Sail, but on the other hand, he was a little curious, "The sand thief is here to spy?"

When everyone left the city gate, they saw Long Qiaoguang sitting on his spotted leopard, holding a telescope in his hand and looking into the distance.

Zhan Zhao and others got on the horse.

Long Qiaoguang put down his telescope and said, "We can only travel for a long time and stay in a hotel near the plank road in the afternoon."

"Only half a day?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"There may be a storm in the afternoon." Long Qiaoguang asked the two guards to lead two very beautiful horses out and asked Yin Hou and Tianzun, "Two seniors, are you satisfied?"

Yin Hou reached out and patted the dark horse that walked in front of him, a little surprised. The dark horse was quite beautiful, with a similar appearance to the black owl, tall and strong. The key was that the black hair had a layer of gray light, which made Yin Hou feel inexplicably like a different life.

Seeing the surprise flashing in Yin Hou's eyes, Zhan Zhao gave Long Qiaoguang a thumbs up.

Long Qiao Guangyi was happy and said good-mouthed, "Of course you have to use a divine horse to worship God."

The man Yin turned over the horse, and the Tianzun tilted his neck to look at the white horse he prepared for him. He also liked it very much. At first glance, he was a good horse that he picked out in a thousand.

This time, there were two followers of Long Qiaoguang. Because it was a short distance and there were many experts, everyone was fine decoration and was ready to go and return quickly.

Zhan Zhao and others already had a certain understanding of the huge organization of the Zhao family army. Basically, the four deputy generals under Zhao Pu all had their own troops, each with at least 100,000 elite troops, of which 50,000 were carefully trained elite troops.

Ouyang Shaozheng had 50,000 vanguard cavalry with fast horses and long swords, Zou Liang had 50,000 raiders with extremely high kung fu, He Yihang had 50,000 shield armor soldiers with amazing defense capabilities, and Long Qiaoguang, as the leader of the Zhao family's archers, had 50,000 elite crossbow soldiers. In addition, like Zhao Pu's Shadow Guard, they had some powerful assistants. Both of them around Long Qiaoguang can be called the elite among the elites.

Speaking of which, Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang had previously discovered that the Zhao family army's roster had some marks behind the names of each soldier, such as two-star, super two-star, nearly three-star, etc.

Zhan Zhao asked Ouyang Shaozheng curiously, and Ouyang explained to him that these are He Yihang's work, and it is also his way of managing the military camp and ensuring the normal operation of the military camp.

The officers and soldiers of the Zhao family army must be diligent in practicing martial arts. The better the martial arts, the greater the chance of survival on the battlefield. These stars are the marks of the force value. Usually, five stars are calculated. If Zhao Pu and Zhan Zhao Baiyutang are of super five stars, then Zou Liang and others are five stars or nearly five stars. And so on, the soldiers have some assessments every year to divide their force value.

It’s not that there is discrimination in the army or something. The premise of being good at using troops is to understand your own soldiers and generals, so that they can give full play to their greatest advantage, rather than letting them die in vain.

In addition to the martial arts, there is also an intelligence level. Some soldiers may not have a very good kung fu, but they are very smart, or have other talents, and will get a job that suits them.

He Yihang attaches great importance to the personal abilities and personality traits of soldiers in the army, arranges responsibilities according to each person's abilities, and conducts special training on some strengths and weaknesses.

At that time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang carefully studied this method and finally understood why He Yihang was the deputy commander of the Zhao family army. Although he was not sure what his martial arts value was, his intelligence must be very high, and... this person was so careful that he was terrible. Zhao Pu was able to win every battle not only because of his domineeringness and outstanding personal ability, but also the result of various conditions accumulated layer by layer.

The Zhao family army is like an indestructible chariot. Ouyang Shaozheng is the brave front, Zou Liang and Long Qiaoguang are the strongest wheels on both sides. Zhao Pu is the one who gathers the entire army while He Yihang is the most solid backing of the chariot and ensures that every part is operating normally.

And the most commendable thing is that these five people are childhood friends and have been struggling together since childhood, which makes this chariot sweep across the Mobei and invincible.

Bai Yutang asked Long Qiaoguang, "Where are the two sand thieves?"

Long Qiaoguang smiled and left it to Zhao Pu to play.

Zhan Zhao was curious, "What did they explain?"

Long Qiaoguang sighed and said, "Recently, there are people in the legendary ghost sea in the area of ​​Mobei."

Zhan Zhao carried a silk cashmere bag that specialized in carrying Xiao Sizi, put Xiao Sizi in, and asked, "What's in the sea of ​​ghosts?"

"I don't know where the news came out, saying that a map that entered the Ghost Sea had flowed out, and many people were ready to go into the Ghost Sea to find treasure. The two sand thieves didn't know about the Mysterious City, but yesterday Zhao Pu came back, and rumors spread everywhere. Some said that he was coming back to search for treasure, and some said that he came back to stop the treasure hunt... The two little thieves wanted to sneak into the city to find out the news. The news in Heifeng City is always the best seller. If they find out something or steal something back, they can sell it for a good price." Although Long Qiaoguang talked, this long sentence did not make people think it was long-winded and said it very clearly.

Zhan Zhao suddenly asked with interest, "How do Zhao Pu be playing with two big living people?"

Long Qiao Guanglei got up and touched his beard twice. "The sand thief is the best candidate for spies. Those two are a bit stingy, but they are quite smart. Do you want to use the best things?"

After saying that, he looked at everyone and found that they had already boarded the horse. So the right general shook the reins and "set."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and shook the reins... Several fast horses rushed forward, left Heifeng City, and ran towards the vast desert.

...

At the same time, in the military tent of the Black Wind City.

Gongsun was sleeping comfortably. After turning over, he heard someone talking in his ear, "Scholar~~"

"Well..." Gongsun rubbed his quilt with his arms around.

"Needle~~"

Gongsun opened his eyes in a daze and saw Zhao Pu's face appear in front of him.

Gongsun was shocked and woke up from sleepiness. He opened his eyes to look at him.

"Good morning." Zhao Pu smiled.

Gongsun was stunned and looked at the sky, "Ah! When is it? Where is the little fourth son?"

Zhao Pu leaned over the bed and said, "I've left."

"Why didn't you call me earlier?" Gongsun was about to get up.

Zhao Pu pulled him and asked him to lie down, "I've said it long ago, I'll leave, don't worry, Zhan Zhao Baiyutang and Tianzun Yin Hou are also talking, who can touch your son? Lying down."

Gongsun thought about it, but he still had some longing for him without Xiao Sizi around him.

"They are back at the Huofeng Hall for seven or eight days at most, so don't worry." Zhao Pu put a pillow on Gongsun's back and said, "You will sleep until you have the time you want to eat in the past few days. I'll let the chef do it for you."

Gongsun's mouth moved slightly, and he leaned against the pillow to look at Zhao Pu. It is estimated that not everyone can see the marshal's meticulous appearance. Moreover, Gongsun was used to taking care of others, and the feeling of being taken care of was very subtle.

"Then why did you ask me to get up so early?"

"If you sleep, you won't be able to spend three meals or one meal." Zhao Pu brought the breakfast table beside him and put it on the bed. Gongsun glanced at the hot porridge and snacks, and was very disappointed.

"By the way." Gongsun asked Zhao Pu while having breakfast, "I heard the sound of hitting the bell last night."

"Oh, Bai Yutang went out for a walk and helped catch two sand thieves." Zhao Pu peeled the tea eggs for Gongsun, and told him what happened last night.

"Then how do you plan to deal with those two sand thieves?" Gongsun was curious.

"Well... these two are a bit slick, so they can ask for information." Zhao Pu sent the tea egg to Gongsun's mouth, "I have to think about it carefully."

Gongsun took a bite of the tea egg and said, "I will bring the medicine box in a while and go with you."

Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun.

"Isn't it just to let the two little slip-heads be obedient? There are some ways." Gongsun grabbed a small bag and stuffed it into Zhao Pu's mouth, "Seeing that you perform so well, leave it to me!"

Zhao Pu chewed the small bag and stared at Gongsun, leaving only laughing.

He Yihang was originally coming to Zhao Pu to discuss things, but just walked to the door and took a look, shook his head and went out.

I was meeting Ouyang Shaozheng who was coming towards me.

Ouyang nibbled and asked the fried dough stick, "Don't you say you have a morning meeting?"

He Yihang waved his hand, "I am so confused that I am so lazy that I will talk about it later."

Ouyang was speechless, and his lust made him dizzy...

...

At noon, Zhan Zhao and others' team came to a small market town in the desert.

It looks like a market town, but it is actually two rows of very tall houses. There are some simple stalls in the yard, most of which are passing merchants drinking tea and having dinner. The two huge buildings are made of yellow mud walls and black tiles. They look like they have a Western Regional characteristics. They are not very stable but seem to be old.

In front of the house is a long mast, with a trick hanging on the pole, with four words written on it - the wind sheltering plank road.

The crowd's team stopped at the gate of the plank road. The thick cotton curtain was lifted up. An old man with a hunchback and a lame man walked out. The old man looked very fierce and blind. He glanced at everyone with the remaining gray-yellow eyeball. He made a "hey, ah" sound in his mouth, and he limped in.
