Luochuan and his party were getting closer and closer to the Xigu Pass.

"I'm pretty sure," Luo Chuan looked back at Chen Jingyi and smiled. "I understand what General Chen wants to say. I know the significance of the Cangyan Prefecture Organ being responsible for the logistics of the army's grain supply. But now the world has changed a lot. It is not okay for us to stick to the rules and keep it unchanged." He pointed to the city wall of Xiguguan. "This Xiguguan is more than 300 miles away from Cangyan City. Even if the information is transmitted quickly, it will take at least three days to send more grain from Cangyan City to marching here. The bumps are also variables. I didn't let Cangyan Army build a warehouse that can store 100,000 stones at once, but 30,000 stones are needed. It is only based on the original grain storage warehouse in Xiguguan City. I will ask the people from the Treasury Office to guide the expansion. The grain must be stored well, so that the soldiers can not worry about food."

Chen Jingzhi nodded silently.

Luochuan continued, "After the warehouse is expanded, I will ask the warehouse city outside Cangyan City to fill it with grain. If there is no emergency in the future, the total amount of transportation will be the same. Xiguguan always put new grain into the warehouse and take out the old grain. In this way, there will always be a margin of more than half a month in the warehouse. If there is any emergency, the soldiers will be able to feel at ease to go to the outside world."

Chen Jingzhi nodded again and said, "Before I went north from Taiming, I have been supplying food from Sanfu County to leave the county this year. The quality of the food is much worse than in previous years. Most of the warehouses received low-quality old grain, but they can still eat it, but they cannot be stored for too long. General Lu sent the news to the Prefect's Palace but did not receive a response. However, when I arrived in Cangyan, I found that the food supply here was still as good as usual. Do you know the reason?"

Luo Chuan shook his head, "I can't be sure, but I can guess some of it," he said with a wry smile, "General Chen knew that I had encountered a demon attack when I returned to Zhongjing City?"

Chen Jingzhi nodded, then raised his hand and made a gesture to everyone behind. Several generals and Li Mu slowed down their mounts and went backwards. Luo Chuan also turned around and nodded to everyone who followed him. In addition to the old coachman still following the two, Siqi, the female path and two Wangchuan sword cultivators were all behind with the Blood Rider, but followed from a distance.

Luo Chuan then continued, "That time is almost dead and alive. Looking back now, I was able to return to Li County safely thanks to the help of Yunbailou, the prince of Guang County, but he had his own wishes to help me. Now that I have arrived in Cangyan, since the grain supply in Sanfu County will eventually be concentrated in Guangjun to distribute, if only Cangyan is good in military rations, there will probably be a shadow of this person behind it."

Chen Jingzhi frowned slightly, "Yun Bailou?" He thought for a moment and asked, "He wants the young master to be a part of the city?"

Luo Chuan nodded, "It's probably the case on the surface, but I heard that this person is deeply in mind and has just returned to Lijun, so he can only take one step at a time."

Chen Jingzhi nodded and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Luo Chuan and asked, "Young Master, can you tell Jingzhi is from a civilian?"

"I've heard of it," Luo Chuan didn't say much.

Chen Jingzhi reached out and grabbed the red cloak that was blown by the wind and threw it behind him. "Before Jingzhi went north, he received two secret letters from the prefect, one was handed to me with the promotion order, and some names of people he could trust were written in it." He did not look at Luo Chuan but continued to say as if he was talking to himself, "The other letter was handed to me privately by General Lu. The content of the letter General Lu read it, and there was only one sentence in the letter..."

Luo Chuan still looked at Chen Jingzhi without saying a word. The latter grabbed the reins with both hands and finally looked back calmly, "The prefect said in his letter to me, Chen Jingzhi, and there will be only one master in the rest of his life, whose name is... Luo Chuan!"

Luo Chuan frowned slightly, "Did this letter be written to General Lu by Lord Prefect?"

Chen Jingzhi was a little confused by Luo Chuan's question in the current situation. Fortunately, he was also very human and he had returned to normal in an instant, "Yes."

Luo Chuan still frowned and pondered, and Chen Jingzhi also pondered.

After a while, Chen Jingzhi spoke again, "Young Master...are you surprised?"

Luo Chuan seemed to come back to his senses, sighed lightly and said, "I'm not that surprised when I've been surprised too much," he murmured to the distance, "I'll come when he said he wanted me to come to Cangyan. He asked the county magistrate to tell me that I could be at ease and let Cangyan Sword Sect support me. Now... for a while, I can probably really live in Cangyan with peace of mind."

Chen Jingzhi looked at Luo Chuan's side face and said nothing.

Luo Chuan thought about it for a while and then turned around and smiled apologized to Chen Jingzhi, "General Chen, I am not a person who is often distracted like this."

"Jingzhi understands," Chen Jingzhi nodded and stretched out his hand to pull the reins of the war horse and said, "Young Master, when I led the army into Cangyan, I passed by the Xilan Canyon. The terrain was narrow and long, and the mountains on both sides were towering and steep. If a city wall was built in a suitable position in the canyon, even a low city wall, combined with the defense of the mountains on both sides, it would be enough for the army several times more difficult to conquer... But the construction of the city wall also requires the prefect nodding, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not easy."

"I understand Jingzhi's meaning, but there is no hurry to do this," Luo Chuan replied to Chen Jingzhi with a smile, "It is difficult for you to let someone who has been leading the army and fighting on the southern battlefield for many years to take the initiative to say these words to me."

Chen Jingzhi, who seemed calm and composed from beginning to end, looked at Luo Chuan in surprise. Luo Chuan pointed his hands, "You almost pinched that rein."

Chen Jingzhi was stunned and then smiled embarrassedly, which was considered free and easy.

Luochuan looked at the city walls of Xiguguan, "Cangyan is located in the north, west, and south. When crossing the mountains, it is the land of Xiyi. On the east side, there is only Xilan Canyon, which connects Ganyuan. Even if there are people in the north and south military and even in the court in the short term, it will still not work after a long time. Cangyan... looks like a dead land."

There was no unnecessary expression on Chen Jingzhi's face, but he just listened in awe.

Luo Chuan did not finish the previous topic, but asked another question, "Respect me, General Lu should have the kindness of knowing you."

Chen Jingzhi nodded and shook his head, "Ten years ago, the southern barbarians in the county were raging, and the village where my family was also affected by disaster. The prefect led troops to help and pulled my mother and I out of the ruins... and then he followed General Lu, who led the troops with the prefect, and walked all the way to this day."

Luochuan nodded, and then sighed, "Northern Yi went south to rage Shanbei County, and the south to north to break through the first line of defense of Anyang County. The Western Yi and the northwest Wuzhou counties have never stopped fighting. Although the Dongyi is temporarily calm, he secretly said that he should also make trouble. Whenever he thinks of this, he feels dark clouds all over the sky, not to mention that in this southwest Hanzhou, the intrigues of each county never stops, and the people are suffering in the end..."

Chen Jingzhi said, "The news of Shanbei County is not clear at the moment, but Anyang County has already asked for help from the other counties in the southwest Hanzhou. However, I left the county and the northern and southern troops to make a big move. Yongchang County and Anling County are also constantly dispatching troops. Guang County is often standing by, but Hanoi County would rather send troops to the north to support Shanbei County than to support one soldier to the neighbors in the south. In winter, all forces within the southern Yi need to coordinate well. By the beginning of next spring, it is probably impossible to resist only the power of Anyang County..."

"It is said that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world," Luo Chuan said to himself, "But under the general trend of the world, what is the use of the courage of every man..."
