Wu Er didn't know whether the general looked down on him or thought too highly of himself that he actually gave him an hour to prepare.
Does the general know how many things can be done in one hour?
Not to mention an hour, even a quarter of an hour or a stick of incense would be enough for him to arrange everything.
The general gave him an hour, he really... trusted him!
Wu Er did not show any abnormality in front of the general, and left respectfully. The general did not stay long, and did not even send anyone to follow him.
Wu Er sneered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He walked towards the station as usual, simply packed his luggage, and told his men: "The general ordered me to go on some business, and I won't be back in a short time."
, if you don’t miss training, what do I ask of you on weekdays? You must do the same after I leave, do you hear me?”
Wu Er's words didn't sound problematic to anyone, and he didn't hide them. He said them in front of the people in his battalion. If the general wants to know, he can just ask.
"I heard it!" Although not all of the people in Wu Er's battalion were his confidants, they respected him quite a bit, and his soldiers would listen to his words.
However, the same words, in different people's ears, mean ordinary people.
In the eyes of the generals and ordinary soldiers, this was Wu Er's routine explanation before setting off, but the brothers who followed Wu Er knew very well what Wu Er meant...
Follow his original plan!
Wu Er's original plan was nothing special, it was just...
He left southern Xinjiang and sought refuge with the King of Yanbei, seeking a way out.
They had thought about this plan when they learned that there was no food in the army, but the situation at that time was not right, and Wu Er was favored by the general. Wu Er wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune in the army, pointing out that
Maybe he can find a way out.
You must know that they are from Southern Xinjiang, and Southern Xinjiang and Yanbei have an sworn hatred. If they surrender to the King of Yanbei, the King of Yanbei may not accept them. Even if he accepts them, they have arrived in the territory of the King of Yanbei.
, are naturally inferior to others.
They live at the lowest level in southern Xinjiang, and they know all too well how difficult it is to live a life of inferiority. Therefore, when Wu Er proposed it before, although his brothers made some changes, they did not dare to take action.
To seek refuge with King Yanbei is to risk their lives. Once King Yanbei refuses to accept them, they will be completely doomed and will have no way out.
Therefore, after Wu Er was reused by the general, they put down this plan.
Unexpectedly, they had worked hard in exchange for food, and not only were they robbed of their credit, but the second time they exchanged food, nothing happened to them. Brother Niu and his group came directly to pick peaches, and the general acquiesced.
This time, Wu Er's brothers couldn't stand it.
They originally thought that taking advantage of the trouble in the army, Wu Er showed outstanding talents and could be reused by the general, thereby breaking through the inherent hierarchy in southern Xinjiang and climbing to a high position.
To Wu Er's brothers, Wu Er is a flag. If Wu Er can, through his own efforts, climb to a high position that they could not even imagine before, then...
One day, they can too.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The general's acquiescence and Brother Niu's behavior of picking peaches made Wu Er and his brothers clearly realize a fact that they had ignored before, that is...
Southern Xinjiang is still Southern Xinjiang, and the general is still a general. Even if their southern Xinjiang encounters the biggest crisis in history, no matter how capable Wu Er is, it is impossible for low-level people like them to be reused.
Since they are destined to get nothing important, why should they fight for it?
In the army, it was impossible to even have a full meal. When they exchanged all their gunpowder for food and had nothing to exchange for food, they still could not escape death.
Rather than stay in the southern Xinjiang army and starve to death, or make wedding clothes for others, it is better to surrender to the King of Yanbei, and maybe there will be a way to survive.
Even if the King of Yanbei doesn't accept their surrender, it doesn't matter. The worst result is death. If they continue to stay in the southern Xinjiang army, these low-class people will definitely be the first to be sacrificed.
Since he is bound to die sooner or later, it is better to fight with all his might, maybe he can still find a way out.
Originally, it was Wu Er who suggested taking refuge with King Yanbei. None of his brothers wanted to take risks. Now...
Before Wu Er could speak, his brothers urged Wu Er to take them to join King Yan Bei.
Wu Er was still hesitating at first, but now he didn't even hesitate at all.
After making an agreement with his confidants, Wu Er walked towards the camp of the general's personal soldiers as if nothing had happened.
There are people there who have been arranged by the general to exchange for food. They don't need to wait until dark and set off directly now.
The general didn't want to be so obvious, but he had no choice!
Previously, Brother Niu and his party left quietly at night. Although everyone knew it, they didn't put it on the table. Even if they knew it, they wouldn't say it. Now the general has to put this matter on the table.
Come up.
Brother Niu left in a low-key manner, but when he came back, he was very high-profile. That shout made the whole army know that the general had asked people to exchange gunpowder for food with the Yanbei army, and they also knew that Brother Niu had brought
I went to exchange for food, but the gunpowder was robbed on the way, so I couldn't exchange it for food.
Under this situation, it would be meaningless for the general to cover up any more. In order to calm people's hearts and avoid causing panic in the army, the general could only bring the matter to light and point out the great hero Wu Er last time.
, so that the whole army can calm down.
Wu Er didn't understand what was going on here at first, but it wasn't until he set off with the general's men and listened to them talking about it on the road that Wu Er understood that there were so many things going on here.
This incident also made him sober and clearly aware of the gap between him and nobles such as the general.
He is considered smart and capable, but that's all. When it comes to playing tricks and playing with people's hearts, he is far behind the generals.
He originally thought that he would slowly win over the people in the army and compete with the general in the future, but now...
Wu Er felt that it would be more reliable to seek refuge with King Yanbei.
Not to mention, he is no match for the general. Even if he is confident that he can win over most of the people's hearts under the eyes of the general, what's the use?
He had no food to feed them, and he was not as capable as the general, who could stabilize the morale of the troops even when they had nothing.
Wu Er had already made a plan in his mind. On the road, he tried to keep a distance from the general and walked alone.
In this way, they walked for three days in a row and arrived at the place where Wu Er asked Brother Niu and others to settle down for the first time, and this place... (To be continued)
