Seeing Cheng Qiu’s questioning, Geng Yu did not dare to neglect and clasped his fists and said, “Sir, the Western Liang army is braver, but there are only more than 800 people. After today’s battle, there are only 500 people left. Their purpose is very simple, to return to Jincheng County. The most important thing at the moment is to find a way to prevent Jia Rong from returning to Jincheng. The adult only needs to lead the soldiers to follow closely.”

Cheng Qiu said angrily: "The words of Geng County Magistrate's words are justified, but Jia Rong's unit is full of cavalry, so how can we catch up with us? You didn't see that the soldiers under your command were already exhausted, so how can we chase them."

"Don't worry about this. As long as Jia Rong escapes in the direction of Jincheng, it will only be a matter of time before we catch up with him." Geng Yu said in a humble and arrogant manner. Geng Yu was not as afraid of Cheng Qiu as the county magistrate of two counties. The Geng family is famous throughout Liangzhou, and Geng Bi was even more accused of being the governor of Liangzhou.

Cheng Qiu frowned, stretched out after a long time, and laughed: "Okay, Geng County Magistrate's service is the most at ease. Just follow the Geng County Magistrate's opinion and move forward at full speed and pursue Jia Rong. I will report the truth from the Lord of the Palace."

Geng Yu seemed not to understand another meaning in Cheng Qiu's words, and said lightly: "Thank you for your praise. I will gather soldiers to pursue Jia Rong now."

Looking at Geng Yu who was leaving, a sharp look flashed through Cheng Qiu's eyes and then returned to Qingming. If Geng Yu made a mistake, Cheng Qiu would also be in great trouble. The most important thing at the moment is to pursue Jia Rong and be able to achieve the position of the treatment. Cheng Qiu certainly understands priorities. If Geng Yu can say this, he will definitely rely on it.

"The Geng County Magistrate has a lack of cavalry in the army. I also asked the Geng County Magistrate to send his cavalry out to inquire about the news and keep abreast of the direction of Jia Rong and others."

Geng Yu bowed his promise without any hesitation, which surprised Cheng Qiu a little, and his eyes at Geng Yu also contained a hint of respect.

"Geng Yu is proud of himself, but he has a view of the overall situation and is smart in his work, and is a talented person." Cheng Qiu thought secretly.

"General, Cheng Qiu led the army only ten miles away from our army." The scout quickly reported to Malai.

After glanced at the blood on the scout, Jia Rong said with concern: "What? Have you encountered an enemy?"

The scout knelt on one knee and said, "I met Cheng Qiujun's scout and was dealt with by my subordinates."

Jia Rong nodded and said, "Be careful."

The scout's body was obviously for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your concern, General, I will do my best. Cheng Qiujun's scout is vulnerable." The main general's concern is very helpful to ordinary soldiers. They are fighting on the front line and doing a life-long act. The main general's light words of care are enough to make them sacrifice their lives.

"Sent to the soldiers to prepare and continue to rush forward." Jia Rong sat on the ground with serene satisfaction, saying, without any sense of urgency when the war came. Jia Rong's relaxed attitude affected his soldiers.

"No!" Jiang Yu hurriedly took the order and left.

Cheng Qiumen was full of infantry. Although he had been chasing for several days, he could not catch up with Jia Rong and his group. Jia Rongjun was injured a lot. He stopped and stopped. Cheng Qiumen could catch up in time every time. However, as long as Cheng Qiumen appeared within ten miles, Jia Rong would immediately lead the soldiers to continue to flee. A pursuit battle became a tug-of-war. As soon as he went back and forth, the soldiers in Cheng Qiumen were exhausted. It was still difficult to race against the two-legged war horse.

It is summer now, and the forage of war horses does not have to worry about replenishment. Although the food is not as good as usual, war horses will not be picky about food after running for a long distance.

As soon as Jia Rong arrived in the army, he saw Ma Chao running towards him and couldn't help but stop.

"Chao'er, why are you so panicked?" Jia Rong habitually called Ma Chao Chao Chao. Those who don't know thought Ma Chao was Jia Rong's son. Ma Teng had no objection to this. Since he planned to do things in the Xiliang Army, the more Jia Rong valued Ma Chao, the happier Ma Teng would be.

Ma Chao said panting: "Uncle, Miss Wei is awake."

At Jia Rong's request, Ma Chao was very obedient and called him uncle every time he saw Jia Rong. This was also the one that Jia Rong promised to give Ma Chao a war horse.

Jia Rong's expression stagnated, and it took him a long time to react and asked, "But Wei Fu is awake?"

Ma Chao nodded affirmatively.

Jia Rong turned around and ran wildly towards the direction of the carriage, leaving Ma Chao with a look of surprise. As he ran, Jia Rong found that the corners of his eyes were actually a little wet. A woman could do so much for him, and his husband had no desire for him. All kinds of concerns from the past were thrown out of the sky. No family or fighting for the world was cherished by the importance of the people in front of him.

Wei Fu just woke up, her face was not as rosy as before.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Jia Rong noticed Wei Fu, who had just woken up, who was a little pale, and knelt in front of Wei Fu's couch regardless of his image, holding Wei Fu's hands and constantly looking at him.

Wei Fu just struggled slightly, then felt relieved. She liked this feeling of being valued by Jia Rong. For a moment, she felt that this sword was nothing. Wei Fu stretched out her hand and touched Jia Rong's face with some difficulty, and asked in a difficult tone: "Brother, why are you crying?"

Jia Rong felt a soreness in his heart, and tears flowed down like broken beads.

He rubbed his sleeves randomly and said in a choked tone: "Brother, are you happy, so happy."

"Fu'er, are you hungry?" Jia Rong said with concern.

"Yeah." Wei Fu nodded slightly, his face full of happiness. Jia Rong was able to cry for him, and Wei Fu felt even more heartwarming, which shows that Jia Rong really cared about him.

"Get some food up." Jia Rong was afraid of being scared by Wei Fu, so he stretched his head out of the carriage and shouted loudly.

Fortunately, it was noon at this time. The soldiers had just finished their meal. When Ma Teng's family heard this, they hurriedly delivered the food.

Jia Rong brought the food he sent, and saw that it was a bowl of porridge, and he showed a dissatisfaction. He immediately remembered the situation in the army and stopped his scolding.

"Fu'er, there is nothing good in the army now. Have some porridge first. When you return to Jincheng, Brother Jincheng invites you to have something delicious." Jia Rong kept stirring the hot porridge with a spoon and said softly.

Wei Fu nodded obediently and looked at Jia Rong shyly.

Jia Rong scooped up the porridge and sent it to Wei Fu's mouth. As soon as he met the porridge, Wei Fu shouted softly.

Jia Rong felt the heat of the porridge and said embarrassedly: "It's my brother who is too stupid." After that, he blew the hot porridge with his mouth and sent it to Wei Fu's lips again.

Wei Fu's eyes turned red, she took a spoon in her mouth and swallowed it with difficulty. The porridge was not a delicious food, but it was hard to drink. However, with Jia Rong coming to feed him personally, Wei Fu felt that this was the best porridge in the world. She ate it with a bowl of porridge with tears in her mouth. No matter how Jia Rong asked, Wei Fu shook her head and said nothing.

When Jia Rong finished feeding a bowl of porridge, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Looking at the tired look on Wei Fu's face, Jia Rong said with concern: "Fu'er rests early, I'll come back later."

Wei Fu looked at Jia Rong reluctantly, closed his eyes with a flash, and Jia Rong pulled the quilt on Wei Fu's body upwards.

"You are doing well. If you have any conditions, I will try my best to satisfy you." Jia Rong said to the doctor standing quietly beside him.

The doctor's lips were trembling with excitement and said, "Thank you for your kindness, General!" After knowing Jia Rong's specific identity, the doctor understood the weight of Jia Rong's seemingly casual words, and the hard work over the past few days was worth it.

Jia Rong nodded and hurried to the army. The military situation was urgent and there was no tolerance for sloppy. When Wei Fu woke up, Jia Rong felt much more relieved. The irritability of being chased by Cheng Qiu for several days was wiped out.

The group quickly threw Cheng Qiu's part far away, leaving Cheng Qiu with only dense horse hoof prints.

"General, there were about 1,500 enemy troops five miles ahead, and the flag established in the army was "Geng"." The scout brought the news from the front.

After Jia Rong nodded to show that he knew, his expression gradually turned solemn. After only five days of marching, he encountered four enemy troops. Needless to say, these troops were all Geng Bi's troops, and guessed his escape route in advance. Geng Bi is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Why are there so many troops named Geng?" Jia Rong secretly complained. It seemed that Geng Bi was not as weak as he imagined.

In Liangzhou, those with surname Geng and who hold heavy power must have a very strong relationship with Geng Bi.

"Ma Teng, please lead the army to find out clearly." Jia Rong ordered.

Ma Teng selected more than a hundred cavalry from the army and hurried away under the leadership of the scout.

"Brother Jiang, what do you think about this?" Jia Rong had a bad premonition about this matter.

Jiang Yu had a high position in the Western Liang army not only because they first followed Jia Rong's old man, but also Jiang Yu had excellent skills in both managing the army and fighting, so he was able to convince the public.

"In terms of humble duties, there must be many enemy troops ahead, otherwise Cheng Qiu would not have led his soldiers to follow our army for many days. The intention was obvious, let the soldiers in front of us entangle us, and then Cheng Qiu led the army to completely encircle us," Jiang Yu said slowly after pondering for a moment.

Jia Rong nodded. Jiang Yu's analysis made sense, especially Cheng Qiu's reaction. He used infantry to pursue the cavalry and would do this unless his head was funny. The only possibility was that Cheng Qiu had some support.

"You two see which direction we should go?" Jia Rong spread the map and asked.

Zhang Zhi and Jiang Yu squatted down and looked at the map carefully.

After a long time, Zhang Zhi pointed to the northeast direction with his eyes radiating, saying, "General, if we retreat in this direction, the enemy will never have thought that we would just detour from Wuwei County to Beidi County."

"Even if they think about it, they won't chase it." Jia Rong said lightly.

"Why?" Zhang Zhi asked.

"Because it is a desert, even if an army enters, it may not be possible to come out. Didn't you see the place marked here as a dead place?" Jia Rong explained.

Without enough preparation, if you step into the desert rashly, the only consequence is that your army will be wiped out. The power of nature cannot be underestimated. Moreover, this journey to the desert is separated by Park Ya County. As long as Park Ya County is a little prepared, it will be impossible to pass. Park Ya County is the famous Great Wall, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as the city gate is closed, you can't even think about breaking in with Jia Rong.

This week, everyone will work hard to collect more, push the Iron Cavalry upwards, and cheer together!
