Chapter 205 General Su Lu may not be able to do it
There was a lot of noise in the camp where people and horses were boiling, and the smell of dust and horse manure was everywhere.
Chang Ning's white robe was stained with a lot of yellow sand and blood stains, and when exposed to the sun, it turned into large and small dark brown dots. Seeing the majestic cavalry of the Yi Guard Battalion, Chang Ning suddenly became angry again.
.
If Su Ping's Jiawei battalion were all cavalry, today's battle would not be so difficult, and the few bandits who escaped would not be able to escape at all.
Walking up to Su Lu angrily, Chang Ning raised his head:
"Master Marquis, how come the second guard battalion can ride a big horse, while the first guard battalion can only walk. The soldiers are dissatisfied with the formation, and there are also a lot of Thule people who are making use of their weapons."
Su Lu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Su Ping who was bragging about his record with Zhang Lu in the distance. This kid didn't tell Chang Ning about the annihilation of the Jiawei Battalion, and he wasted his time creating such a good opportunity for him.
Li Kun came over and said with a smile:
"Captain Changning, the Marquis has your thoughts. Don't you know that the entire Jiawei Camp was wiped out? The current Jiawei Camp was built from scratch by the Marquis."
Zheng Kai also interjected: "Chang Ning, don't blame the Marquis. You really don't blame the Marquis for this matter. It is all thanks to the Marquis that the Left Route Army has the strong troops and sufficient food and grass it has today."
Lao He sighed and said: "It's a pity that we can only operate in the area east of Beiyang near the Maya Mountain Pass. If we can go to the west of Beiyang, or even Yanzhou, it will be even easier to fight.
"
Su Lu glanced at Zheng Kai and Li Kun, and realized that among the group of guys present, Su Ping was the only one who didn't know what he was doing. The other ones didn't want to be heroes and beauties.
He dismounted quickly and threw the reins to Niba. Su Lu gave instructions:
"I'm going to eat a watermelon. When we finish eating the watermelon in Yunling Village, it's time to set off."
Su Ping, who was far away, heard Su Lu's words and raised his eyebrows, thinking about it.
After dinner, Su Lu was lying on a chair and looking at the stars. Several sneaky figures flashed past from behind the tent. Su Lu threw the watermelon rind out of his hand.
"Why, do you want to steal the watermelon to eat, or are you still thinking about what I said in the afternoon?"
After a while, Su Ping led several guards out of the tent. Su Ping rubbed his hair and said with a smile:
"Second brother, we are soldiers not just to fight and perform meritorious service. I heard Ding Jian say that there are more bandits in Beizheng. If we can wipe out the bandits in Beizheng, we can at least form an army. At that time, you will be the one
A real commander-in-chief of the Left Army."
Deputy Lieutenant Ding Jian also spoke next to him: "Master Hou, my home is in Beizheng. There are so many bandits there, so many of them."
Su Lu snorted coldly: "Niba, Palm Mouth."
In the astonished eyes of several people, Niba stepped out and slapped Ding Jian more than a dozen times.
"Okay, that's it."
Su Lu told Niba.
Ding Jian was already kneeling on the ground, covering his mouth, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and looking at Su Lu with a look of resentment in his eyes.
Su Lu looked at Ding Jian, his tone full of coldness:
"Do you know why I hit you? Don't look at me like this. If you want to succeed, you must first learn to hide your emotions. Otherwise, you have to be as awesome as me to avoid being hit."
Chang Ning, who was standing next to him, curled his lips and thought to himself that you are quite capable of boasting.
Ding Jian's voice was hoarse and he said, "I don't know, please give me some advice."
Su Lu sneered: "You don't know, you know it very well in your heart, but you are just pretending to be confused. Su Ping, do you know why I beat him Ding Jian?"
Ding Jian lowered his head and looked at the ground, but couldn't help clenching his hands.
Su Ping was a little confused and asked anxiously: "Second brother, I, I don't quite understand."
"Snapped"
Su Lu angrily threw the tea cup on the square table. After the fall, Su Lu looked at the broken pottery pot on the ground and felt a little distressed. After waiting for hundreds of years, these were all antiques.
Pointing at Su Ping's nose, Su Lu scolded angrily: "You are a pig-brained person. You don't understand. You still drag me out of my writing."
"Son, how many people died in the Jiawei camp and why they died? You still don't have a clue in your mind. Do you fight with your toes? You pig brain."
After scolding Su Lu in a stupid way, Su Lu saw Su Ping's dejected face, and his anger subsided a lot, so he ordered Niba to speak.
"Niba, tell him why I want to beat Ding Jian."
Niba considered it for a moment, frowned and said:
"Su Duwei was raised from a humble position by the Marquis. He has always obeyed the Marquis's words. In the past, whenever there were military orders from the Marquis, no matter how urgent the military situation was, Su Duwei would always carry out the orders."
"Only after he started leading the cavalry, Captain Su began to disobey the Marquis's orders. It seems that Deputy Lieutenant Ding Jian said something that influenced Captain Su's thinking."
Ding Jian's face darkened when he heard this, his head completely dropped, and he stopped saying a word. If the Marquis beat someone because of this, then he was not unjust at all.
Chang Ning, who was on the side, noticed Ding Jian's movements and nodded immediately. Little stars began to twinkle in his eyes when looking at Su Lu. There is indeed a reason why the Marquis is so good at fighting, and his observations are so subtle.
Su Ping then remembered that he had already stopped the troops and was preparing to withdraw the troops when the order was sent to the soldiers that day. After Ding Jian said a few words, he had the idea of disobeying the order of the Marquis.
He never thought about disobeying his second brother's military orders. The second brother didn't think about punishing him. It was Ding Jian's slander that got him beaten. He should stay away from Ding Jian in the future. This kid is too weird.
Su Lu glanced at Ding Jian who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice:
"For the sake of the folks in Beizheng, let me spare your head first. If you dare to disobey military orders in the future, I will chop off your head."
"Send the order to pack up the army tomorrow and prepare to set off. The old, weak, women and children will stay behind and let Zhang Lu allocate these houses, and then come with us to march to Beizheng."
Ding Jian suddenly raised his head, looked at Su Lu with gratitude in his eyes, grabbed the ground with his head, and Ding Jian shouted at the top of his lungs.
"The general will obey your orders and dare not to die for the Marquis."
At the same time, they were marching to camp in Beiyang. Butter and wax were burning in the central military tent, and military discussions were going on in the middle of the thick oil smoke.
This time, Xiao Cong, Li Qing, He Geng, Fan Wenshao, Zhang Gu and other guards generals and lieutenants were present to preside over the military meeting.
Xiao Cong pointed to the terrain map: "There are no traces of the Thule Army in Beiyang and Yanzhou. Except for the occasional sighting near some bandit villages, it can be guaranteed that there will be no Thule Army in these two places."
"There are fewer and fewer bandits in Yuci and Xitunling. Most of them are gathering in the direction of Beizheng. There are fewer and fewer Thule troops in front of our middle route army and right route army."
"I think now is the most appropriate time to send troops to wipe out the bandits in Yuci and Xitunling in one fell swoop. Send out surprise troops to occupy Yumen, and then circle eastward to cooperate with the left route army in sweeping Beizheng and Suozibao.
Lean the army."
After Xiao Cong finished speaking, he sat down in his seat.
He Geng said: "Tule soldiers have gathered in Beizheng. The situation of the left army is very bad. Su Lu only has three thousand soldiers and horses under his command. Should we send reinforcements?"
Li Qing next to him nodded: "If we mobilize more troops and horses, I think General Su Lu is completely sure to wipe out the enemies in Beizheng. It is best if the three forces advance together."
Zhang Gu spoke: "I don't think it's appropriate, now the opportunity is great, Xiao Shuai is right.
If our army moves quickly enough, there is hope that we can attack Yumen and even reach Diaoyin County. The Thule army gathers in Beizheng. This opportunity is once in a lifetime."
Fan Wenshao looked at Li Qing: "I agree with Xiao Shuai's opinion and march to Yumen."
Li Qing still wanted to struggle: "I think General Su Lu can defeat Beizheng's enemies and join forces with us to move to the pass. As long as we give him some time."
