The troops crossed the valley path and arrived in time at the Jiehe River, not far from Hulao Pass. Next, we will report to Dong Zhongying's people.

The person who greeted us was Guo Si, Dong Zhongying's close comrade-in-arms, a guy who likes to wear sunglasses. It is said that his eyes were burned earlier, but he has been wearing sunglasses since then.

"Welcome," Guo Si said weakly, "If I come later, my people will probably not be able to hold on."

"What's going on? Is it because of the enemy's raid?"

"The main problem is the food and drinking water." Guo Si explained, "The Yellow Turban Army in Hulao Pass has looted the surroundings early on. Both the granaries and water supply stations were burned by them. We are short of food and water."

Lu Zigan comforted him and said, "Don't worry about eating. We brought all the food stored in the Sishuiguan. As for drinking water... Yuan Benchu, can your mecha dig a well?"

Yuan Benchu ​​nodded: "My mecha can install drilling bits, just give me some time."

"Okay, look forward to your performance."

Hearing that the problem of food and water was solved, Guo Si became energetic. He pulled Lu Zigan into his barracks and began to discuss the next countermeasures.

Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide and I were looking for places where we could settle. There were corpses and wounded people everywhere. It can be seen that the previous battles were very fierce. Around the camp, we set up barriers and trenches. Although these things have limited effects on robots, they are better than not.

In the camp that was quickly repaired, I wadeed with my gun. When I was in a daze, I felt someone pinch my nose. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Cai Wenji's little devil.

"Cold." She said with a frown.

She originally lived with Sun Shangxiang and Gan Mei, but now there are too many wounded people. Sun and Gan are going to help Huayuanhua cook the wounded, and no one cares about Cai Wenji. I lifted the military coat covered by my body and said, "Come here, sleep on my shoulder."

Her thin body penetrated into the marching coat and leaned against my shoulder.

Suddenly, I had the illusion of "an extra daughter". Although I saved the child's life, I did not think that her life was given by me. I only provided a little warmth when she needed it. In most cases, I gave her enough freedom.

It’s a pity that the war is in chaos. How long can a child with congenital deficiency live?

There wasn't much time to think about these boring things. Not long after, we both leaned on each other and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but one hand patted my forehead: “It’s time to get up, Liu Xuande.”

When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be Lu Zigan.

"Good morning, sir." I rubbed my eyes, and under the morning light, a feeling of energy rose in my body.

"Ding Jianyang is here, I want to convene everyone for a meeting. Ding Jianyang has important things to discuss with us."

"Let's go." I looked down and Cai Wenji was still asleep. I covered her military coat, followed Lu Zichang, and walked towards the largest barracks.

"What's the matter with Ding Jianyang looking for you?"

"Ding Jianyang told us that Dong Zhongying was preparing to betray everyone. His purpose was to leave everyone here to fight the robot, sneak into Chang'an City and occupy everything there."

This was a bolt from the blue! I was so shocked by the news that I couldn't speak for a long time.

"When the snipe and the clam fight, will the fisherman benefit?"

"That's right."

"Damn! This old guy, he's so smart about his abacus!" I was so angry that my teeth were itchy. "What should we do next?"

"I have a plan to unite the rest of everyone and use his own way to cure others. Since Dong Zhongying wants to throw us here, we will find an opportunity to attack him, and then gather everyone to attack the Yellow Turban Army."

We came to the barracks, where many people had already sat, including Ding Jianyang, Guo Si and others whom we had met before.

In addition to them, there are some unrecognizable faces, but I can be sure that these are all big shots.

Ding Jianyang cleared his throat and stood in front of an electronic map, "Everyone, let me introduce the current situation."

He clicked on the map, and the map automatically released the map of Sishui Pass.

"Everyone, this is the map of Sishui Pass. Let me explain in detail. At present, everyone's locations are distributed on the front of Sishui Pass, forming a circular defense belt. On our front and back are the defenders of Sishui Pass and the Ice Flame Legion."

"We all know these," someone said in confusion, "why are you talking about these?"

"I haven't finished talking yet, please look here again." He clicked again and switched the map to a fortress.

"It looks so familiar here..." Lu Zigan squinted and looked at it, "Is this... a ghost crying moment?"

"That's right, this is the Ghost Crying Pass. Mr. Lu stayed in the Ghost Crying Pass for a while, right?"

"Yes, we replenished supplies there, and then left there on cruisers. The defenders there were all missing, an empty city."

Ding Jianyang brought up a photo: "Where do you think this is?"

Isn’t this still a ghost crying pass? It’s just that it’s no longer an empty city, there are many people and figures playing in it.

"Everyone, this is still the Ghost Crying Pass, but we just took a photo recently. Look at the plane, it was where Dong Zhongying had stayed. It has been repaired now." Ding Jianyang said: "There is a tunnel in Ghost Crying Pass. The defenders there have been killed by Dong Zhongying's people before. After Dong Zhongying's people killed them, they hid in the tunnel. After you leave, they came out of the tunnel and repaired the plane with spare parts."

Guo Siqi said: "What are they going to do?"

Ding Jianyang said: "There is an airport in Ghost Crying Pass. After the plane is fully loaded, you can take off directly and fly to... Chang'an!"

"Their target is Chang'an?!" Except for me and Lu Zigan, everyone else was shocked.

"Yes, Dong Zhongying didn't send his main force to the battlefield at all. His real main force has been hiding in the tunnel, avoiding head-on confrontation with the Yellow Turban Army. It is your army who was sent to fight to the death with the Yellow Turban Army."

"What is he doing this?" Someone questioned.

Ding Jianyang spread his hands and said, "Everyone, don't you understand? When everyone fights the Yellow Turban Army and both losers, Dong Zhongying's main force can fly straight to Chang'an by plane. After taking Chang'an, he will be the dictator who will unify the world! At that time, neither we nor the Yellow Turban Army will have the strength to continue fighting with him. But he can defeat all our remaining soldiers in one go!"

Ding Jianyang's analysis is very reasonable.
Chapter completed!
