"You have all our food taken away. Why don't you take us with you? We can't survive without cattle and sheep!" Gesang waved his arms and shouted loudly.

She shouted like this to express that she was a grassland shepherd. The reason why she appeared here was because she had been robbed of cattle and sheep. The words mean that she could no longer survive if she lost cattle and sheep, so she would rather be a military slave in the army.

This excuse is not clever, but there is no more suitable excuse to find in a hurry. This reason can at least explain one's identity and the reason why it appears here, without revealing the fact that Zhang Chang'an and others are Tang Jun scouts.

When the leader of the Khitan monk heard this, he looked at Gesang's beautiful face. Although his eyebrows and eyes had not yet fully opened, he could be called a beauty. He immediately believed the other party's words.

He said coldly: "Those who approach the army camp without authorization have died! Now is the war period, and the cows and sheep that are recruiting you mean the king of the grassland, and no one can stop you. However, I think you are still young, so it is not impossible to give you a way out."

To be fair, when there is a need for violence, the grassland people are much more cruel than the Central Plains people. Because life is difficult, I don’t know what next year will be like after this year, so I can be brave and fearless for the sake of cattle and sheep.

But people's hearts are full of flesh. When there is no need for violence, grassland people are often particularly open-minded and generous, especially as monks with extraordinary status, when facing weak and beautiful women, men's nature makes them not so strict.

Zhang Changan and others had already planned to take action and break through the brink of blood. When they heard this, it seemed that the situation had a turning point, so they suppressed their temper for the time being.

In order to facilitate tracking the Khitan grain raising team and dealing with the Khitan cavalry on the road, they all changed into shepherds and had necessary disguises on their faces. This is really not a difficult task for the monks and students of Chang'an Cultivation Academy.

Now, as long as Zhang Changan and others don’t speak, no one can realize that they are not grassland people. They restrained their breath and acted like ordinary shepherds, showing a fearful and honest expression.

Seeing that things were turning around, Gesang quickly looked innocent and asked, "How can we live?"

The monk in charge has a good cultivation level and is also a person with status in the army. He looked at Gesang's eyes and showed a look of greed and vulgarity, and said with a smile: "You can be my slave. If you serve me well, you will naturally not have to worry about food and clothing. And your fellow tribesmen can also live in the army."

This is a very fair deal. For a woman who has lost cattle and sheep and can no longer be called a shepherd and cannot continue to live, this is simply a gift from God. Being able to follow a monk with good cultivation will definitely not be bad in the future.

As for the price you need to pay... on the grassland, what does it cost? In the era of war disasters and disasters, as long as you can live, what is the price you pay? Being able to rely on a powerful soldier is itself a destination that many grassland women cannot afford.

Gesang tried his best to put himself in his imagination and said happily and nervously: "As long as I can have food for my tribe and my tribe, Gesang is willing to devote himself to serving his master."

The monks in charge laughed and waved their hands to announce the change of their identities of Gesang and others, and took them into the river valley camp.

The other monks had no objection to this and did not think there was any problem.

People with status and status on the grassland certainly own a large number of cattle and sheep, which is a symbol of wealth, but in addition, the number of slaves they own is also a manifestation of status. Any powerful grassland warrior will have his own group of slaves.

Since the leader took a fancy to the girl named Gesang and was willing to take him as his concubine. With his status and status, he wanted to raise Gesang's tribe members as his slaves, which was nothing.

In this way, Zhang Chang'an and Gesang and their group entered the camp of the Khitan grain-raising army in an open manner.

On the way, they learned that the Khitan monk was named Warwick. Although he was not the highest in the group of monks in this Khitan army, he was also of the best cultivation level. The cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi training was enough to allow him to overlook most of the monks.

Zhang Changan and others also learned that in this grain raising team, there are three cultivators at the early stage of the God Envoy realm and one mid-level of the God Envoy realm. Their strength is equivalent to the Taoist Lingchi realm and the Yinshen realm. They are the strongest combat power, and their mission is to ensure the safety of the grain raising team.

Apart from these four people, Warwick's cultivation level is at the highest level.

When Zhang Chang'an was in Hexi, his cultivation was in the middle of Qi training. After Yangguan's training, he went to Chang'an Practice Academy for more than half a year. In addition, he was focused on training by the court and provided continuous supply of various cultivation resources. He was talented and had great cultivation, and his cultivation reached the eighth level of Qi training.

But it was still a little worse than Warwick, so he didn't have the intention to act rashly.

Warwick quickly arranged identities for Gesang, Zhang Changan and others. The former was naturally a personal maid and had an extraordinary status. However, because it was daytime, there would not be any dirty actions. The latter was an ordinary slave, and feeding horses was their job.

Due to differences in identity and status, Zhang Changan and others were separated from Gesang, but he did not care, but kept his identity and mission in mind, and began to observe the entire camp without revealing traces.

Not long after, Zhang Changan learned from eavesdropping on the conversations of the Khitan soldiers that they would set off to leave here tomorrow morning, and all the grain raising teams would return before dusk today, with a total of as many as 50,000 people!

Being in a state of despair was originally a desperate situation, but Zhang Changan was not discouraged, but was a little excited. He knew very well that if the previous news was successfully passed to General Shangguan, then the other party would launch a raid on the camp before sunset today at the latest.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Chang'an and others will not be threatened with life, and Gesang does not have to worry about losing his virginity. Maybe they can do something in the camp to cooperate with General Shangguan's actions. After all, there are 50,000 soldiers here.

In the afternoon, Zhang Changan suddenly discovered a phenomenon that surprised him.

In this Khitan military camp, there are actually many people from Quanzhen Temple and Wukong Shimen! They are not like them, they are involved in being slaves, but are serious Khitan monks and warriors! The reason why they can confirm their identities is because Zhang Changan found that even Buchen was there!

“There are indeed many people, but not many.”

The Khitan warrior dressed in Buchen, pretending to admire the war horse that Zhang Changan was washing, and whispered: "I have calculated it and I have also met the monks of Wukong Shimen. There are hundreds of people in the military camp. Most of them have not yet reached the Qi Refining Stage, and they are mainly grassland warriors."

Zhang Changan lowered his head, suppressed the shock in his heart, and whispered: "How did you get into here? Didn't you go and track the Khitan grain raising team?"

Buchen smiled and said, "I did go to track the Khitan grain raising team. I happened to meet a believer from Quanzhen Temple - I had saved his seriously ill mother before, and he was a centurion, so I naturally arrived here as a Khitan warrior."

Zhang Changan suppressed the storm in his heart and said, "How many believers have you developed in Khitan?"

Buchen sighed and said, "It's really not many. There are only hundreds of people in the 50,000 army, and one out of a hundred people. The time is still too short. If we give us three or five years, Quanzhen Temple and Wukong Shimen can at least control 10% of the shepherds on the grassland.

"Do you know that ordinary grassland people have a hard life, much more difficult than Central Plains people. And the more people live and suffer, the more likely they are to be developed into religious believers, because they have desires and demands, need to get spiritual comfort and liberation, and need to see hope, even if that hope exists in the illusory afterlife.

"What's more, under the instruction of King An, we, the Quanzhen Temple and Wukong Shimen, can teach medical skills... Many people in the grassland are barbarians, and they do not have the ability to cure diseases and save people. There are too few doctors. In the words of King An, this is the result of insufficient social development. So as long as we can cure diseases and save people, it is actually very easy to develop believers. They all regard us as gods..."

Zhang Chang'an had no intention of listening to Buchen's words. As a student of Chang'an Practice Academy, he attached more importance to the battlefield strategy and said anxiously: "If nothing unexpected happens, General Shangguan will definitely come before dusk. Since you and I are in the Khitan military camp, we should do something..."

Before Zhang Chang'an finished speaking, Buchen continued: "Create chaos in the military camp and cooperate with the army to wipe out this Khitan grain raising team?"

This is a very good idea and practical.

Hundreds of people face tens of thousands of people, and they don’t seem to have the power to fight, but if they face a large army raid, they only need to create a little chaos in the rear to quickly disintegrate the fighting spirit of many Khitan soldiers and make outstanding contributions to the battle situation.

But this is not what Zhang Changan thought.

He said tightly: "As long as General Shangguan arrives, this Khitan army will undoubtedly be defeated. We don't need to add icing on the cake. What I want to do is to plan for a longer period of time..."

As Zhang Changan expected, at dusk, Shangguan Qingcheng led his army to the river valley.

The Khitan grain raising team, who had "happy harvest", did not expect to be attacked by the elite cavalry of the Tang army here. They were all happy and prepared bonfires in the camp to celebrate, but they were all arrogant and lazy.

Suddenly, when he heard the monk's warning, the Khitan warriors had no time to form a complete battle formation, Shangguan Qingcheng led more than 30,000 elite cavalry to the river valley.

There is no suspense in the battle.

Not to mention the more than 30,000 elite cavalry under Shangguan Qingcheng, they were all elite soldiers dispatched by Li Maozhen in various armies. They were just students who rushed into the army from Chang'an Cultivation Academy, and they were all fierce soldiers and elite monks on the battlefield.

Even if such an army is not as good as the elite cavalry of the Wolf-fanged Army in terms of cooperation and keeping up with Shangguan Qingcheng, it is far from being able to compete with the eight direct armies of the Khitans.

With the power of the battle formations of famous military generals, Shangguan Qingcheng bravely advanced with his troops, and easily broke through the hasty formation formed by the Khitan army, turning the river valley into earth.
