Summer mornings dawn quite early, and just after the ugly hour, the sky starts to get dark.
In front of the Lintao Tunpu gate, gray tents were set up densely along the road at the Tunpu gate, everywhere.
Su Lu got out of a tent, washed his face with some water, looked around, and ordered Su Ping who was following him.
"Call the brothers and get ready to set off. When we arrive at Yumen this time, our mission will be completed and we won't have to transport food anymore."
Su Ping chuckled: "In fact, transporting food is not bad. Second brother, we attacked five bandit villages and collected the brothers' reward money. If we transport it a few more times, we won't have to pay for this year's salary.
"
Su Lu stretched his arms a few times, took a deep breath of the cool morning air, and asked Su Ping: "What are you going to do after we leave Tule?"
Su Ping was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a long time. Second brother, you turned a bit too hastily. But thinking about the days to come, Su Ping narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"After I retired from Thule, I went home and opened a brothel, right in Beiyang.
Li Kun and I have calculated that there are only a few local brothels in Beiyang. If we learn from those big cities and build a higher-end one, the business will definitely be good."
Su Lu almost slapped Su Ping in the face. Your grandson has only so much potential. He can't get a wife, so he just wants to open a brothel and harm other girls.
"You'd better let go of this idea. Go call the brothers and leave after breakfast."
Su Ping was very dissatisfied with Su Lu's reaction. What's your attitude? It was you who wanted to talk to me. I was so sincere, but you were disgusted by it. This is like despising the knife after cutting the person.
Su Ping did not dare to kick Su Lu, so the soldiers in the guard camp were unlucky. Su Ping kicked them from tent to tent. Early in the morning, there were all kinds of screams in the tents of the food transport team.
After breakfast, the grain transport team continued on its way to Yumen.
After the last military meeting, Xingying sent troops to capture Yumen. At Su Lu's suggestion, Xingying temporarily garrisoned Yumen and sent out large-scale scouts into the grassland to inquire about the movements of Thule's army.
The sun at noon is quite strong, and it shines on people like a burning flame.
In the grain transport team, Tudun'er followed Su Lu and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The midday sun was really unbearable.
"Master Hou, if you don't take care of my little girl Cao Hua, she'll be tanned. She's too tan to get married."
Tudun'er pointed at a small guard walking not far away with a gun raised. It was Su Lu who wanted to become his disciple and was assigned to the army by Su Lu. If she could be promoted to a rank, Su Lu agreed to receive it.
As a disciple.
Life in the Guards was indeed not easy. At the beginning, the left army was all cavalry, and she couldn't get along with the cavalry guards. Later, she was transferred to the infantry, but she stayed in the infantry.
Su Lu didn't bother Tu Dun'er and suddenly said:
"It has been more than half a month since the camp moved to Yumen. In the past, we just transported the food to Tunpu. Why does it have to be sent to Yumen this time?"
Tudun'er was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Lu in astonishment. "Master Hou, you change your mind so quickly. I can't."
Chen Si said next to him: "Is there a change in the business?"
Su Lu thought about it for a long time, feeling a little uneasy, so he urged.
"Speed up the march. We must get to Yumen before dark tonight and camp in Guancheng."
Tudun'er glanced regretfully at Cao Hua, who was holding a spear at his head, and thought that I can only help you so far. After all, I only washed the clothes once.
When it was getting dark, the grain team finally arrived at Yumen. Su Lu opened the city gate with his official credentials, and the grain team entered the city. Su Lu was confused when he saw the empty and solid camp in Guancheng.
Su Lu grabbed the guard at the entrance of the camp and almost shouted and asked.
"Where is the camp army? Has it entered Diaoyin? How many days has it been since its departure?"
The soldier who was lifted up by Su Lu's collar shivered all over and was scared to death. He thought to himself that this was an invincible general, and the evil that suddenly broke out was so terrifying.
"Three days ago, General Zhang Gu led his troops to cruise outside the pass and annihilated a thousand-man troop from Thule. Subsequent battles became more and more frequent, and the results gradually expanded. Later, the camp was moved."
Xiao Bing stammered.
Su Lu threw the soldier down, gave Su Ping a few words, and led a few guards to ride to the camp in Guancheng.
In the Guancheng camp, the Chinese army guards checked their official credentials and let Su Lu enter the camp tent.
In the camp, among the various crimson, lake and green robes, Su Lu only saw an acquaintance, Fan Wenshao, the Jiedu official.
Fan Wenshao smiled and saluted Su Lu with clasped fists: "Master Marquis is here, it's been a hard journey.
This is the military affairs brochure that Commander Xiao left for you before he left. After you read it and move your camera, the left army will continue to be under your control. If you have any staff strategies, you can report them directly to the camp."
Su Lu opened the booklet and read it again, frowning slightly.
On the 11th, Zhang Gu's troops wiped out a thousand enemies.
On the 12th, Li Cong's troops wiped out 1,200 enemies.
On the 13th, Zhang Gu's troops wiped out 1,800 enemies.
On the 14th, Zuo Shao's troops wiped out 800 enemies.
On the 15th, Liang Pu's troops wiped out 600 enemies.
Looking at it scatteredly, Su Lu was somewhat convinced by the Thule people. This was to send his own army to the Han army.
But what is their purpose?
Su Lu flipped through the military affairs booklet and looked at the war summary above, feeling more and more surprised.
Did Tule send all his soldiers up as bait?
In half a month, Zhang Gu and Li Cong actually annihilated more than 20,000 Thule tribe army followers.
Would Thule be willing to fill in 20,000 people as a conspiracy?
Su Lu was also a little unsure.
Fan Wenshao continued: "The camp of the Thule army was discovered in Diaoyin. General Zhang Gu took the lead and rushed there. After confirming that it was the Thule camp, the camp was also moved there. After fighting for so many years, it seems that this time
It’s time to have a decisive battle with Thule.”
Fan Wenshao said with joy on his face.
In the camp, a group of busy generals and lieutenants also put down their work and looked at the two men with a smile. According to this trend, defeating Thule and regaining Hanshui City is no longer a dream.
"Yes, General He Geng's dream is very likely to come true this time."
"We have seized the opportunity this time. Fortunately, General Su Lu ensured the smooth flow of food routes, so that the camp could march straight into Diaoyin."
"Su Houye is the first to attack. If we want to attack Diaoyin later, the thousands of miles of food roads are the most difficult to guarantee."
The generals in the camp were discussing excitedly.
Su Lu suddenly felt a little self-doubt. Is my intuition wrong?
Without cards, am I just a rubbish?
No, although the card has not moved yet, after fighting so many battles, I still have the basic battlefield intuition.
Pulling out the defense map, Su Lu asked Fan Wenshao: "Master Fan, where is the camp now? Have you provided all the food and fodder for the left army's horses?"
Fan Wenshao said with a smile: "It's all ready. General Xiao explained that the left army is under the control of the Marquis. From now on, the Zuo Army will still be under the control of the Marquis. In the future, rewards will be given based on merit. After the war,
The Marquis can confirm and report it to the camp, and General Xiao promises to give full approval."
"As for the camp, it is now at this location, Yelang Pass."
"The princess was ordered to join the army by your majesty and the three provinces, so she should have reached this position."
Su Lu was stunned when he heard this: "Princess, you are working for the army?"
Fan Wenshao chuckled: "Yes, Mr. He reported the results of the Xuanfu battle, and His Majesty decided to send the princess to work for the army."
Su Lu turned around and walked out, giving instructions as he walked.
"Niba, take my official certificate, go to Gongqian Pass, transfer the left route army, and rush to Yelang Mountain Pass."
"Tudun, take my jade pendant and go to Tianlan City, ask General Xie to send out troops and rush to Yelang Mountain Pass."
Fan Wenshao's expression changed: What is Su Lu doing? Is there something ominous about Yelang Mountain Pass...
