Wait until the figure of the other party appears in their field of vision.

Luo Cheng, who was holding up the binoculars, suddenly showed a look of joy on his face.

"It's General Liu Kai!"

The confirmation of identity made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Luo Cheng even waved loudly to the friendly soldiers who were riding their horses in the distance to say hello.

And after seeing the identities of Luo Cheng and the others clearly.

Liu Kai, who led the team to confirm the situation, also relaxed in his heart.

Wei Wei raised her hand, and while waving at Luo Cheng, she was also telling the cavalry behind her to put down their arms.

After the two groups of people quickly contacted.

Liu Kai quickly got off his horse and cupped his fists at Luo Cheng.

"General Luo Cheng, thank you for escorting the food and grass this time."

"As for the responsibility, General Liu Kai is polite."

Just when the two greeted each other like this, the cavalry under Liu Kai's command suddenly let out a burst of exclamation.

It caused Luo Cheng to subconsciously turn around and look, and then a flash of clarity flashed across his face.

Their food delivery teams are numerous.

There are as many as 500 cavalry in front of the cavalry.

So one can imagine how long the team dragged on.

In this way, Hill's mammoth and Harold's ice bears are not close to their vanguard.

Now the vanguard stops.

The troops following behind will naturally approach slowly.

The cavalry on the prairie had not experienced previous battles with the barbarian army.

So I don't know much about things in the Central Plains.

The mammoth and ice bear warriors that appeared later obviously surprised many people.

"General Luo Cheng, what are these?"

As Bai Ze's lieutenant general, Liu Kai was calm enough at this time, and he didn't make any fuss like the soldiers under his command.

"Oh, here's the thing..."

While speaking, Luo Cheng quickly explained the identities of the mammoth and the ice bear warrior, as well as the ins and outs of the whole thing.

After listening to Liu Kai, there was a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"I didn't expect so many things to happen during the time I was not in the Central Plains."

After the two sighed for a while, the two teams quickly integrated into one and rushed towards Mustang City.

Along the way, Liu Kai, who was more familiar with the terrain, led the way, so it went smoothly.

Before sunset, the grain transport team had safely arrived in Mustang City.

"The last general, Luo Cheng, met the general!"

In the barracks in Mustang City, Luo Cheng bowed his hands to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze raised his hand to help Luo Cheng up.

"General Luo Cheng doesn't need to be too polite. It's really hard for you to bring food in the wind and snow this time."

After the simple greetings, Luo Cheng could not avoid reporting the incident of being attacked by horse thieves on the road.

After Bai Ze finished listening, he also frowned slightly.

"These horse thieves are becoming more and more unscrupulous!"

After saying a word, Bai Ze, who seemed to be thinking of something, asked again, "General Luo Cheng, do you remember the number of horse thieves?"

"The number is not large, about 100 people."

"More than 100 people..."

Bai Ze pondered for a while, and then a trace of understanding appeared on his face.

"I know which gang it is."

"Which group?"

Luo Cheng raised his brows slightly when he heard this statement.

"How many horse thieves are there on this grassland?"

Facing this question, both Bai Ze and Liu Kai had wry smiles on their faces.

"a lot of."

After Liu Kai said these two words, the wry smile on his face became even worse.

"On this grassland, there are countless tribes, large and small, and many of them make a living by plundering, which is the source of those horse thieves."

"After winter, food was scarce, and these horse thieves began to harass our three prairie cities recklessly."

"They come and go like the wind, and they don't confront us head-on at all. They basically run away when they see us, so it's quite difficult to take them."

"In desperation, we can only strengthen the patrols around the three cities."

"However, after we took precautions here, they turned their attention to the food transportation team."

"During this period of time, many horse thieves are probably having a hard time. Whenever they have the opportunity, they will keep an eye on the grain transportation route, trying to hijack the grain delivered by the grain transportation team."

"I see."

After listening to Liu Kai's explanation, Luo Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

"No wonder the horse thieves came as soon as we entered the grassland area. Is the co-author waiting for a rabbit?"

While speaking, Luo Cheng, who thought about it for a while, couldn't help frowning.

"Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, it is not easy to transport food. If the route of food transportation is temporarily changed, the efficiency may be lower. For the current plan, I am afraid that we can only strengthen the guards."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Liu Kai nodded in agreement.

But Bai Ze, who was sitting on the main seat, asked aloud as if he had thought of something...

"By the way, General Luo Cheng, you mentioned a long-range weapon called a hand crossbow earlier, can you let me have a look?"

"The general is polite, of course there is no problem."

Luo Cheng indifferently motioned to a soldier under his command to fetch a crossbow.

He took the hand crossbow that the soldiers had brought over.

Bai Ze took a quick look.

And Luo Cheng, who was sitting next to him, was also giving a proper explanation.

"This hand crossbow is quite easy to use against horse thieves. The only regret is that it is too difficult to re-string this hand crossbow while riding on horseback."

During the conversation, Luo Cheng specially demonstrated it to Bai Ze.

The whole process of loading the crossbow can be said to be clear to Bai Ze at a glance.

This hand crossbow is indeed a sharp weapon.

But for the cavalry who fought on horseback, they basically only had one shot.

It is inevitable that there is a feeling of overkill.

Let the infantry unit hold it, and it is estimated that it will be of greater value.

As for this matter, Luo Cheng obviously also explained it.

Tell Bai Ze that this is the weapon of the Crossbowmen.

It is because the food escort is very important this time.

This is borrowed for their use.

After a brief conversation, everyone quickly turned the topic to serious business.

"Now the three cities on the prairie are in a state of food shortage. The efficiency of our people's transportation of one bag after another is really too low, but the convoy can't make it through, so at the end, the general wants to ask the general to transfer some food." A team of cavalry came over to help transport food together to increase efficiency.”

Luo Cheng's words were extremely sincere, and Bai Ze naturally had no reason to refuse.

"General Luo Cheng, don't worry, the soldiers have worked hard all the way, first rest in Mustang City for one night, and tomorrow morning, I will ask Liu Kai to lead [-] cavalry to assist the food delivery team to transport food together."

Chapter 475 , The Turbulent Heart

And just as Luo Cheng and the others successfully transported the grain and grass to Mustang City, Luo Ji, who had rested for two days, also resumed normal work in Mirror City.

In the past two days, the weather has been a bit erratic, and there was another light snow before.

It frightened many people.

I thought the snow was going to get bigger again.

As a result, on the third day, the snow stopped again.

But the only constant is the low temperature and severe cold.

The temperature was already so low that it was hard to even breathe.

Inhaling it in one breath, at that moment, it will make people feel that their entire airway, including their lungs, will be frozen.

Wrapped in the thick animal fur coat.

Taking advantage of the snow to stop, Luo Ji planned to take a tour of the Mirror City.

The blizzard in the past few days, coupled with the temperature that has continued to drop until now, coupled with the food crisis, have caused panic in the city.

It can only be him, the emperor himself, to appease people's hearts.

As a result, just as he walked outside, Luo Ji had the urge to turn around and go back.

Tete is fucking cold!

The sun shone on him, and he couldn't feel any warmth at all.

The sun overhead was like a useless decoration.

"Come on, let's go to the hotel and have a look."

Resisting the urge to turn his head back, Luo Ji led a group of guards towards the hotel.

According to what he meant, hot porridge was being distributed at the entrance of the restaurant in the past few days.

In other words, the refugees who live in the most difficult situations in the city will gather there.

Luo Ji went there directly to show his face, and the effect was undoubtedly the best.

In the end, before Luo Ji and the others walked in, there was a loud commotion from the porridge pie stall...

"Hey, this is the second time I've seen you today, and a person can only get one bowl of porridge a day!"

The staff member who was in charge of distributing hot porridge at the stall was frowning at the downcast woman in front of him.

"My lord, you must have misremembered. I haven't been here today."

The woman held an empty bowl and kept arguing with the staff.

It was completely like she would never give up until she was given a bowl of hot porridge.

"No, I remember very clearly, this is the second time you have come here."

While talking, the staff member knocked on the notice board next to the porridge shed.

Pasted on that notice board was Luo Ji's warrant signaling that they were distributing hot porridge.

Of course, there are related rules and order.

"According to His Majesty's will, under this special situation, each person can only receive one bowl of hot porridge a day, and you have already received one bowl, so leave quickly! Otherwise, I will call the patrol team over!"
