Chapter 218: The Familiar People's Husband and King Get It
Su Lu was unhappy after hearing this.
These grandsons in Xingying are really nothing.
Li Qing saw Su Lu's unhappy expression and knew that he was unwilling, so he spoke.
"Let's see, if anyone in the camp is unhappy, I'll withdraw, but you still have to do the food transportation."
On the road from Beiyang to Lintao Tunbao, there were quite a few bandits who were linked to Tule. Zhang Gu could only lead an army to ensure that the food route was open. But if there were fewer soldiers, the food team would be robbed immediately.
Su Lu was a little irritated. As he walked indoors, he said: "Then we should suppress the bandits first. After the bandits are suppressed, we can then transport the food."
Li Qing smiled bitterly: "It would be easier if things were really that easy. Zhang Gu also led troops to suppress bandits, but he always came back defeated. Either he lost his troops or he couldn't find the bandit's lair, and he couldn't do anything.
"
Su Lu spread his hands and said, "I can't do it either. If Zhang Gu can't do it, I can't lead the army either."
Li Qing smiled, his smile blooming like a peony, "I believe you can do it, and everyone in the camp also believes you can do it."
As he spoke, Li Qing took a military affairs brochure from Chang Yuan behind him, handed it to Su Lu and said: "This is a reward from the Zuo Route Army. The camp has been approved. You, General Zhuangwu of the fourth rank of Jinzheng, are from Zuo."
The rewards from various military departments are at your request."
Su Lu looked through the booklet and asked Li Qing: "Do the veterans in Xingying respect you enough?"
Li Qing's cheeks darkened slightly, "This matter has nothing to do with leading the army this time. You have to clear the food route first. Being able to capture Yumen this time will be a great thing for the Xuan Mansion."
Su Lu frowned, picked up the tea on the table, drank it clean, and said helplessly:
"I'll give you some face this time. If Xiao Conghe and the other old guys dare to bare their teeth at you again, I will deal with them."
"A good Xuanfu has completely defeated him."
"By the way, the right-wing army is protruding from Wangxiang and marching into Tianlan City. What do you think?"
Su Lu asked Li Qing.
Li Qing was slightly startled: "Capturing Tianlan City is a good thing."
Su Lu shook his head: "It's not necessarily a good thing. I suggest that the right army shrinks to Wangxiang. After the Chinese army captures Yumen, it is best to use Yumen as the boundary and not move northward for the time being."
Li Qing shook his head, looking a little helpless: "General He Geng is already sixty-three years old. His dream is to drink Mahan water. This time he is expected to invade Diaoyin. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop him."
Su Lu put down the military affairs booklet and felt a little helpless. Old man He Geng still had such thoughts, so he couldn't stop him from breaking through the Yumen this time and marching into Diaoyin.
"I have a hunch that this battle will not be so simple. Thule retreated too quickly and too easily."
Li Qing laughed: "That's not because you are so awesome."
"General Xie of the Right Army sent me a letter, mentioning that a group of Thule tribal troops were captured, including acquaintances of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. She proposed to release these people in order to alienate the people within Thule. Your merits were mentioned in the letter
, saying that this time it was thanks to your left army."
"Having held back the Thule army of more than 30,000 people, this gave the right army and the center army the opportunity to march straight in and restore the old ground."
Li Qing said, a trace of disappointment suddenly flashed in his eyes:
"The title of General Zhuangwu is not enough to reward your merits this time. If you wait a little longer and report to the three provinces together, your merits will only be greater."
Su Lu waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this for now. After a few days, when the injuries of these sergeants are healed, I will set off to transport food. I will not use the soldiers of the Chinese army. I will bring a guard camp there, and the left army will go there."
Let Zhang Lu take charge."
Li Qing nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will make arrangements."
At this time, Li Qing began to have the arrogance of a princess who was overseeing the country, instead of being a puppet of the Ministry of War who was only submissive and didn't even listen to his opinions.
Seven days later, the injuries of the first batch of guards who used alcohol for disinfection and debridement finally recovered, and the wounds that had been festering finally scabbed and closed.
In the back camp, a group of five people stood in front of Xiaomi, clasping their fists and saluting.
"Thank you Xiaomi for saving your life."
Several gentlemen knelt in front of the little milk baby.
Xiaomi was at a loss and pulled Chang Ning, who was smiling next to her, "Sister Chang Ning, please speak."
Chang Ning said with a smile: "It's not unfair at all for them to kneel down and worship you. Look at how many guardsmen died in front of them. They all died because of suppurating wounds. If it weren't for your dexterity, they might not have survived.
.”
Xiaomi Rourou's cheeks were flushed: "It's because of Mr. Hou's wine that we saved so many people."
Chang Ning shook his head: "Of course the Marquis's wine is important, but your techniques are also crucial. I also rescued a few people, but unfortunately my techniques were not good. Although I also used wine, four or five guardsmen were still dead."
Su Lu clapped his hands and said: "Okay, not bad, Xiaomi is good, Changning, you are good too."
"Saving lives and healing the wounded is a technical job. There are many skills and techniques that need to be summarized. Chang Ning, please summarize more. With these mature experiences, you can save many people."
All the soldiers from the battalion saluted Su Lu.
"I've met the Marquis."
"I've met the Grand Governor."
Su Lu waved his hand and signaled that everyone should refrain from courtesy: "I'm here this time to see how everyone is recovering from their injuries, and also because the camp has entrusted military orders. I'm here to say goodbye to everyone."
After encouraging everyone, Su Lu and Zhang Luxiang followed them out of the rear camp.
Zhang Lu looked troubled: "Master Hou, you are leaving. I really can't lead the left army. What should I do if Thule comes to attack?"
Su Lu patted Zhang Lu on the shoulder: "Okay, when the soldiers come, we will block it, and when the water comes, we will cover it up. You do your own thing. As for sending troops to Diaoyin County, you hold off for a while. I have already gone to Xinxing Camp.
Remind them that if we delay it for a month, I feel it should be almost done."
"When something happens to Tule, you can take action with your camera."
Zhang Lu nodded: "I listen to Mr. Hou."
When Su Lu left the camp, he saw Su Ping leading the army outside. Su Lu got on his horse and ordered Zhang Lu.
"Just strive to have a stable block in everything. Advance troops slowly, delay them as long as possible, and don't advance into Diaoyin easily."
Zhang Lu nodded repeatedly: "What the Marquis ordered is, I have written it down. When the Marquis leaves, he will take away a guard camp, and our left army will lose half of its troops. It is impossible to send troops unless the camp is sent to the army."
I will increase my troops."
Su Lu led the army, said goodbye to Zhang Lu, and rushed to Beiyang to camp.
More than ten days later, the team finally arrived at the Nanguan Camp.
At the gate of the camp, Guo Dashan was still leading the troops and guarding the gate. When he saw Su Lu leading the troops back, Guo Dashan shouted excitedly.
"Master Hou is back."
"Master Jun, give way and let the civilian food team enter the city first."
A familiar voice sounded at the door.
Su Lu turned around and saw an acquaintance. He was originally supervising the troops to transport food, and he wanted to join his army, Lao Wang, Wang De.
Lao Wang looked at Su Lu with excitement on his face. He came over quickly and pulled the bridle of Su Lu's horse.
"Sir, do you still need people in your guard camp? I'll do it. I'm practicing swordsmanship now, and I can fight as well as those young men."
The first sentence that civilian husband Lao Wang saw when he saw Su Lu was that he still wanted to join the Guards.
