Chapter 134
"Supervisor."

Consciousness was drowsy, and occasionally some words buzzed.

His body was sore and weak, and he suddenly felt someone calling him, Geng Qing opened his eyes in a daze, not knowing when the sky had already darkened.

The words of someone nearby were saying: "The supervising army has woken up."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Among the burning bonfires, blurred figures, with their heads bandaged and arms hanging, sat in a state of embarrassment and looked around.

The blurry figure gradually became clear from Geng Qing's sight, and he sat up straight with his hands on his temples, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Return to the prison army, it's been a day."

Over there, a man who broke his hand spoke, and words followed from the crowd.

"Supervisor, what shall we do?" "Yeah, will the battle continue?"

"Fuck me, General Meng has run away, tens of thousands of people have been attacked twice, how can we still beat them?!"

Someone gasped for breath, turned his face to the side, and poohed on the ground: "... being chased and killed, brothers don't have any energy."

"Stop talking, let the supervisor speak!"

The man with his arms hanging just now yelled twice, turned his face, put on a smile and nodded and bowed to Geng Qing, who gradually returned to reason, "Supervisor, brothers are in a bad mood, and they only have half a day's dry food on them. It's late, shall we go or stay?"

If he said to stay at this time, he would definitely have to mutiny, and even if Geng Qing hadn't met Li Cunxiao, he didn't intend to really fight the Shatuo people.

"Of course we go."

Geng Qing let the helpers stand up, patted the man on the shoulder, and glanced around.

"We all have one life. If we continue to fight this kind of uncertain battle, we will let everyone die in vain. I am the supervisor of the army, not the life supervisor. If anyone tells me about the righteousness of the family and the country at this time, he will be the first to kill him." .”

Speaking of the latter part, Geng Qing waved his hand heavily, slapping the man in pain, grinning his teeth, and adding vulgar words, made the soldiers sitting around the campfire with overlapping figures laugh out loud, many people He lowered his head with a smile and whispered, waving his hands over there, and the vulgar Geng Qing pointed.

"I heard that the supervising army is still the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he is a high-ranking official. Why do you speak the same as us?"

"It's good that it's the same, we can also talk to the supervising army."

"You guys, I'm afraid you don't want to be a soldier of the supervising army."

"So what if you think about it? You're right after thinking about it."

In the thin and broken words, Geng Qing also said a few words of encouragement and morale boosting, then he stopped, and went to sit by the campfire together, chatted with them, and talked about his own affairs.

"Actually, how can I be a supervising army? I came here bravely. Two years ago, I was a mud-legged person like everyone else. My home is in Gengjia Village, three miles southwest of Feihu County. Later, the Shatuo people rebelled and took Dad My mother came to Chang'an after running away, she was humble and smiling when she met everyone, and she came to today step by step after meeting a noble person, she is not what everyone thinks of as a scholar, who can get into the imperial examination."

In this day and age, status is important, especially for officials and scholars. Geng Qing is the first one to say in front of so many remnants of soldiers that he just stepped on the mud in the fields.

It made many people feel more cordial in their hearts.

Seeing that no one spoke, Geng Qing saw that his eyes were not as vigilant as before. He took a deep breath and looked at the gray clouds floating across the crescent moon in the night sky.

"I came to Chang'an to escape the war, but I didn't expect to be able to escape. For nearly two years, my parents have been nagging me every day. Some of them miss Gengjia Village and the villagers in the village. In fact, the two elders don't talk about it. I also miss my hometown, mountains and rivers, familiar faces in the village, even if I look at them from a distance, I feel at ease."

"What about you?" The words paused, Geng Qing let out a long breath, and looked at the man with the broken arm sitting cross-legged next to him. The latter was listening quietly, but when he was asked, the expression on his face froze, aroused some remember.

"Small... small, my hometown is in Guangzhou. After Huang Wang broke the city, he fought with him. There is also a blind old mother at home. I don't know if she starved to death."

Speaking of mother, there was a man who wanted to rebel before, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said, "I don't know if I'm hungry or not." 'Voice trembling.

Geng Qing closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and didn't know how to comfort him. Huang Chao was traveling north and south, and the soldiers added that most of them were recruiting local strong men. If you are lucky, you can live like this. If you are unlucky, maybe Died in the first fight.

In the silence, another voice suddenly shouted in the crowd: "Supervisor, I am from Quzhou. I have been away from home for nearly two years. My wife and children are dead."

There was also a sound.

"I'm also from Quzhou, in the same village as him, and my parents are still there, but I don't know if I'm dead or not."

Like reporting to the family, and fearing that others would forget their existence, one by one got up and shouted.

"I'm from Caozhou."

"I'm from Ye County!" "Yang Di"

"I fought for the longest time. I'm from Yunzhou. I'm blind in one eye. My family members followed Huang Wang, but it's a pity they're all gone. I'm the only one left."

"Supervisor, in the future, you pass by Liba Village, Tongzi Township, Bozhou, my hometown, and tell my parents for me that I am fine in Chang'an, and I have become an official."

Words rose and fell in the crowd, at first they were meant to be joking, but as they got further behind, their words choked up, and one of the youngest, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a dark face and wet red eyes, suddenly burst into tears .

"Supervisor, I miss home and my parents."

Geng Qing looked at them silently, and turned back to ask a gang member nicknamed Hutou to search for his tent to see if he could still find pens and inks. After a while, Hutou came over with pens, paper, inkstones and found another missing On the desk with broken legs, Geng Qing polished the ink and wrote down the names and hometowns of these people one by one.

"After returning to Chang'an, I will write a letter and entrust the caravan to send it out for you, but don't expect me to write much about the content."

After finishing speaking, the last name was left. Seeing the names and place names on several sheets of paper, Geng Qing smiled and put down the brush and raised his face. Surrounded by the bonfire, more than 1000 people knelt together and hurriedly I went to help, but couldn't pull it up, so I kicked it angrily, almost turning myself back.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly. You will join the army. I will be the supervisor of the army. I will take care of you. Get up!"

More than 1000 people were just kneeling with red eyes, and when they saw Geng Qing coming to help him, jumping angrily, all the elders laughed out of embarrassment and stood up on their knees.

"Supervisor, you are good to the brothers, you have seen them all, if you need anything in the future, just open your mouth, murder and set fire, I will take care of it for you!"

The man who spoke was a centurion under Meng Juehai's command and had his own leather armor. The man patted his chest and the scabbard in his hand.

"What kind of murder and arson? I, Geng Qing, am not that kind of person! We are all resting, and tomorrow morning, we will go to Hezhong Mansion to borrow some food, but there are three chapters in the contract, you are not allowed to spoil the people, you are not allowed to dig the crops in the field, and you are not allowed to recruit people into the gang." !"

Geng Qing raised his hand and bent three fingers with a serious face, and more than 1000 men over there patted their chests to ensure that they would come down, then they talked and laughed in a low voice and lay down on the ground, pillowed on the armour, watching the moonlight and gradually fell asleep.

Afterwards, early the next morning, the team regrouped. Some officers in the army took good care of their soldiers. Because of the overnight rest, their energy level was much better than yesterday, and they traveled faster. They arrived at Hezhong Mansion in the late afternoon, and Geng Qing led two A centurion went to the government office in the city to explain the matter of borrowing grain, and inquired about Meng Juehai and Deng Tianwang's team along the way, only then did he know that he had passed the Hezhong government office and was probably crossing the Wei River back to Chang'an.

Borrowing food was not smooth, Meng Juehai's team had already taken food in the city before, and those who could give Geng Qing's people only had two days' rations, which could barely make it to Chang'an.

Soon after leaving the Hezhong Mansion, he followed the official road when he came to find the direction of Weishui Ferry and Huazhou, and met many wounded soldiers and deserters. Geng Qing called them to join the team, but was scolded. , more than 1000 people here held knives and beat hundreds of people on the opposite side into obedience.

After pulling out the leader and asking them what was going on, they realized that the troops of generals Meng Juehai and Deng Tianwang who had returned to Chang'an were only halfway across the water when the Shatuo cavalry detoured from the Tongzhou side and launched an attack from the east bank. Sneak attack, those who hadn't crossed the Wei River behind, ran away directly, and met Geng Qing's team.

Geng Qing looked in the direction of the east bank of the Weishui River. After a while, he urged the team to rush there as soon as possible. However, when they arrived, Shatuo's soldiers and horses had already left. Apart from gathering some remnant soldiers on the way, all the sighted ones were abandoned on the ground. Qi' character banner, and some broken armor and weapons.

He frowned slightly. The plan he had agreed with Li Cunxiao earlier was to drive his team to Chang'an. How did it become Meng Juehai?
"Cunxiao is so powerful in using soldiers?" '

But since it has become like this, then it will be wrong.

After thinking about it for a while, after crossing the Weishui River, he crossed Huazhou and headed to Chang'an according to the original plan. On the way, he kept gathering routs. Before and after, more than 1000 people became nearly [-].

Because of the more than 1000 people before, the newly joined soldiers seemed obedient. They probably knew what happened that day and night, and they trusted Geng Qing a little more.

On the morning of the third day, as we approached the border of Gyeonggi, we heard the sound of fighting and galloping horseshoes stretching across the field.

A Shatuo cavalry with only a thousand men shot arrows around the infantry formation of nearly 5000. The dust and smoke rolled up formed a large circle and floated in the sun.
