Luo Xuan glared at Lao He: "The commander-in-chief and I came here overnight, so naturally we couldn't see any news from you."
Old He sighed, thinking that this time it was really over.
Su Lu ordered: "Since you are so busy, don't sleep anymore.
Niba, line up for me and train them well so that if they want Pai Gow in the future, they will think of tonight and this gathering of troops."
Niba stood up and looked at Su Ping and several generals and captains: "Commanders and governors, please take action."
Su Ping went out alone, Li Kun reluctantly, and Wang Si hugged his pocket with a confused look on his face. He shouldn't need to wear his pocket for training later.
Su Lu looked at the Pai Gow and silver coins scattered on the ground, and waved his hand angrily:
"Listen to me, all this money belongs to you, and these guys who train at night are also careful. Anyone who loses money belongs to your personal army."
In an instant, a group of soldiers all turned their attention to Wang Si. He had a lot of money in his pocket, and if he didn't get it all out later, it would be impossible.
…
The next day, when Su Lu woke up, it was already bright.
Yesterday was a bumpy day, and Su Lu's body, which was not in good shape, seemed to fall apart, and his injuries were still not healed.
Pushing himself up, Su Lu put on his regular robe and left the bedroom. He saw Tudun'er coming in with porridge and steamed buns and placing them on the table.
Su Lu sat down to drink porridge and asked Tudun: "Where is Niba? Why don't you see him?"
Tudun chuckled: "Niba is still training troops. Governor Li Kun still has ten taels of silver in his sleeves. The brothers insisted that Niba try to train these ten taels in a way. The governors were also annoyed and just froze.
..”
Su Lu nodded. It would be better to practice more so that Su Ping and Li Kun could have a better memory. If they could not be afraid, they might cause some trouble in the future without their own suppression.
"By the way, have the scouts come back? How is the situation with the inquiries?"
Tudun'er ordered the guards outside to come in: "The first batch of scouts have returned. The Tang army has been defeated. The situation is very bad."
Two scouts with soaked robes came in from outside. The sleeves of their robes were covered with mud. When they saw Su Lu, they clasped their fists and saluted.
"I've met the Grand Governor."
Su Lu waved his hand, signaling the two of them to reveal the information they had gathered.
"After the defeat in Shanyin, the Tang army retreated overnight. Xie Ruyu led the army, and Sun Cheng was cut off. The Tang army had no reckoning of casualties. It had retreated to the Wuyuan camp at midnight last night."
Su Lu picked up the pickles and arrived at Wuyuan Camp so quickly, which meant that Li Chengfeng would be able to reach Shuangmiao City by tomorrow at the earliest.
No, given Li Chengfeng's temperament, since he is a military god who uses troops like a god, there is no way he can leave any flaws in his military use. The Wuyuan camp will definitely be destroyed today, and Li Chengfeng will definitely be able to reach Wuyuan.
"How many people are there in the Tang army?"
Su Lu asked and said.
The scout paused slightly, as if thinking of the brutal battle between Tang and Qin, and said in a hoarse voice:
"There were heavy casualties. It's so tragic. The Tang army's 20,000 remaining soldiers are probably only a little over 10,000 now."
Su Lu nodded: "Go down and have a rest. Don't let the scouts who come back later go out."
The scout bowed in agreement and withdrew.
Su Lu had breakfast and just went out when he saw Niba slowly coming back, surrounded by a dozen soldiers, all carrying large and small bags in their hands.
Seeing Su Lu, the soldiers bent down at the same time, cupped their fists and saluted.
Su Lu asked Niba: "Where are Su Ping and the others?"
"They all passed out."
Niba said timidly, the prince ordered him to train troops, but he didn't let himself knock everyone out. They were all these bastards who wanted to drink. In order to deduct the money from Governor Li and others, they trained the captains and captains into unconsciousness.
A big piece.
Su Lu nodded: "In the future, you should have your own opinions when encountering problems. Don't follow others' opinions. Go ahead and take a rest after a tiring night."
Su Lu educated Niba, took Tudun with him, and walked along the streets of Shuangmiao, when he saw an acquaintance.
Da Nier.
Da Nier was wearing a green robe and a black gauze crown on her head. She was squatting by the river and washing her clothes. Occasionally she turned around and saw Su Lu standing on the stone steps.
"Prince"
Dani stood up timidly and spoke in a low voice.
"Where's Cao Hua? Why did she bring you here? Didn't I ask you to train in Anton?"
Dani pursed her lips and said, "The army has already moved out, so naturally we followed. This is the outpost of the army. What I learned will be put to use."
Su Lu glanced at Tudun.
Tudun immediately said: "Li Kun brought Xiaomi and her daughter to the front line. Dani learned how to treat injuries with Xiaomi and her daughter. Now she is quite powerful. Everyone knows Dani."
Su Lu nodded: "Since you are willing to stay here, you will naturally have everything you should have."
"Go back and tell Luo Xuan that medical officers must also be included in the Guards, and their military merits and promotion conditions must be calculated as well as the number of kills by the Guards."
Dani curled her lips: "Your Majesty, it's easy for you to say. If you cut off six heads, you can be promoted to the rank of deputy lieutenant. It's not that easy for us to save six people."
Su Lu turned around and walked towards the city gate: "Of course, you don't have to face the danger of someone cutting off your head at any time to get a promotion."
Dani opened her mouth to speak, but after a long time, she squatted down to wash clothes again. Yes, the prince was right, and she didn't have to risk having her head chopped off.
When Su Lu climbed to the top of the city, the sky suddenly darkened. Looking at the endless stream of pedestrians at the city gate, Su Lu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Close the gates"
Su Lu ordered that the Wuyuan Camp was not too far away from here. The Qin army was good at field battles. If it were a long-distance attack, these two temple cities would be gone.
The guards' scoldings rang out from the city, and the people who wanted to enter the city were blocked, so they started shouting loudly one by one.
However, the captain who guarded the city gate was an old soldier. He had fought many battles with Su Lu, and he never compromised in executing Su Lu's orders.
"Draw your sword and kill anyone who dares not to retreat."
The captain drew his steel sword and shouted at his guards.
"kill"
A cry of death rang out, and a man who looked like a commoner pulled out a steel knife from the backpack he was carrying. He swung the long knife and slashed at the guard beside him.
"哐啷"
The guard had already drawn his sword and knocked the man's steel sword away with the force.
The guard behind him raised his gun and moved forward. The gun tip flashed with cold light, separated the man's knife, and stabbed the man into a bloody gourd in an instant.
"Kill without mercy."
The captain drew his sword and chopped it out without hesitation.
This is the land of the Qin State, and the people are naturally from the Qin State. They have no psychological burden at all when killing people.
More people lost their pretense, drew their steel knives, and fought against the crisis.
There was chaos at the city gate.
Su Lu ordered Tudun'er: "Go and defeat this Qin army."
In the distance, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose up, and a horse team came in force at a very fast speed.
"Close the city gate."
Su Lu waved his hand, and the guards on the top of the city rushed down. There were many Qin troops making trouble below the city, but they were surrounded by several times the number of guards and were immediately overwhelmed.
The city gate slowly closed.
The horse team was very fast. When they arrived at the city gate, they saw the closed city gate. The leading general reined in the horse and looked towards the city head.
"Well, Su Lu, you are very quick to see opportunities."
Su Lu leaned over the battlement and looked at Li Lu reining in his horse and galloping below the city.
"Li Lu, you came very quickly."
Li Lu, whose head was wrapped in gauze, laughed: "It's not fast enough. Your city gate has been closed. My grandpa said that the possibility of success in trying such a trick with you is slim. I didn't expect it."
