Chapter 1118: Food and Grass Arrived



Chapter 1118: Food and Grass Arrived

Xu Sibei was more interested in her battle. "I heard that you also won a great victory in the mountains. Tell me, how did you do it?"

Unbelievable, "You said you've never been on a battlefield, so how come you can lead people to win such a great victory right away? It's simply amazing!"

When he first heard the news, he asked several times whether it was true and whether it was exaggerated. How could it be possible?

Guoguo is a young lady who is good at farming and business, but she is even better than others at fighting. How can others survive?

These days, wherever she goes, people come to ask her about the battle.

She also realized how rare this victory was for her.

Even though she had said it countless times, she still told Xu Sibei everything in detail again, and finally said: "I have never been to the battlefield, and I don't know any battle formations. I was able to win this battle because of General Xiaoyan. I learned it from General Xiaoyan."

Xu Sibei was full of admiration, "Who doesn't learn? Are you born knowing how to lead troops in battle? But there are not many people like you who can do it right away. It's the same as Dad. The first time he went to the battlefield, he won a great victory!"

Zhou Guo had never heard of it. "What kind of battle did Dad fight at that time?"

Xu Sibei said: "When my father was a teenager, he went to the battlefield with my grandfather. In the first battle, he led 6,000 cavalrymen to repel the siege of 100,000 Hu people. From then on, he became famous! You are the same. You are now a celebrity in the Xu family army!"

Everyone respects people who have ability.

This matter has become known to everyone in the past few days. Everyone knows that this Mr. Zhou is not only good at growing crops and a wealthy man, but also a good fighter. He has never been on the battlefield, but he won a great victory as soon as he arrived.

Zhou Guo didn't want to be a celebrity in the military camp, so he wasn't very interested. However, he was very interested in Xu Sibei's affairs. "Don't just talk about me. Talk about you. Talk about your most proud battle."

Speaking of this, Xu Sibei perked up, "Okay, then I'll tell you about it."

Speak slowly.

Zhou Guo was so fascinated by what he heard that he seemed to have followed the characters to the battlefield as well.

The food on the table had gone cold, and the story on the battlefield was not yet finished.

After the food was taken away, the two stayed in the tent for a long time until it started to get dark. Then Xu Sibei stood up and said goodbye, "I won't disturb your rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Zhou Guo then realized that it was getting late, so you should go to bed early. "

Xu Sibei smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Zhou Guo had dinner, read for a while, changed his medicine, and went to bed.

The next morning, just after she finished washing up, Xu Sibei came in wearing new clothes. He was dressed up from head to toe and now looked like a decent human being.

She smiled and said, "This is the brother I know."

Xu Sibei laughed, "I'll have dinner with you."

Zhou Dacang came in from outside, and was stunned when he saw Xu Sibei. He said, "The young general just fell asleep not long ago, and he's awake now?"

Xu Sibei said: "General Zhou, you don't have to be so polite, just call me by my name, we are not outsiders."

Because I like Zhou Guo, I also become closer to her family.

Zhou Dacang was even more surprised. Xu Sibei was different from Xu Xiaobei. He was just a bad boy. If he disliked someone, he would not show a good face to him even to the Jade Emperor. But he didn't expect him to be so nice to Zhou Guo.

Not only did he come here as soon as he got back yesterday, he came here again early in the morning.

Since you are here, let’s have a meal together.

After finishing her meal, she went out on crutches.

It was the middle of winter, and although it didn't snow, it wasn't very warm either.

The cold wind blew and it hurt my face.

She stayed in the military camp for more than half a month.

Even though the scabs on my feet are almost healed, I was still not allowed to go into the mountains without crutches.

She was extremely bored every day.

On this day, I got up as usual and before I finished washing up, Xu Sibei rushed in from outside and said cheerfully, "Guoguo, come with me, the food has arrived!"

Zhou Guo was extremely surprised, "Really?"

The food and fodder finally arrived. Calculating the time, it’s about time. If the journey wasn’t so long, it would have arrived long ago.

Xu Sibei carried her on his back and walked out. "Let's go, let's go. Dad has sent us news that they are only a few miles away. Let's go get some food. All this food is from the north and you grew it yourself."

Zhou Guo was not surprised. It was a good thing that he carried her around the mountain these days, otherwise it would have been extremely boring.

A group of generals have gathered outside the main camp.

When they saw Xu Sibei carrying Zhou Guo over, no one said anything. They were all rough guys, and they were brother and sister, and Zhou Guo was dressed as a man, so no one thought of anything else.

Only Zhou Dacang seemed to be thinking about something and wanted to take over. But when he thought that the person had been carried on his back for so many days, if he went now, wouldn't it attract even more attention and make people think too much?

Xu Xiushan laughed and waved at the two of them, "Guoguo, come quickly, your food and fodder has arrived, let's go and greet them."

Everyone cast a kind look at Zhou Guo. One of them was particularly obvious, and Zhou Guo couldn't ignore it. She looked up and raised her eyebrows, "General Black Eyebrow."

General Black Eyebrow said respectfully, "Sir."

There was a drastic change in attitude, he wasn't like this before.

Xu Sibei said: "He is like this. He didn't know who you are before and neglected you. Don't take it personally. General Black Eyebrow is actually very easy to get along with. He admires anyone who has real ability. After hearing about your deeds, he admires you very much and respects you more than his father."

Zhou Guo said stubbornly, "I didn't take it to heart."

No way. General Black Eyebrows had previously thought that she was just a useless young man who got in through the back door. Her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes. He was also very upset about it for a while.

Xu Sibei put her on the horse's back, and Zhou Guo was able to ride the horse by herself.

In addition to the generals and soldiers of all ranks, this time they went to receive the food and fodder, there were also 20,000 soldiers. Tens of thousands of people set out towards the pass in a mighty manner.

Zhou Guo was riding on a horse and looked back. He saw densely packed heads and the sound of uniform footsteps.

In front of her was Xu Xiushan, and beside her were Zhou Dacang and Xu Sibei.

She was riding on the horse, and was in a trance for a moment.

She seemed to have gone very far, so far that she had left many people behind.

In the first year of her escape, when she had just woken up and faced a road full of hardships, she could never have imagined that one day she would be standing in such a high position.

Zhou Dacang was startled by her empty expression and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Guo was startled. "It's okay, uncle. What about the food and grass for the armies on the front lines?"

They have food in the rear, but what about the food for the several armies and hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line?

Zhou Dacang said: "As long as there is a letter from the front line, we will transport food to the front line."
