Three hundred and seventieth chapters return to the town of Wuyuan
Late at night, it was pitch black outside the city, and not even a finger could be seen.
The Black Flag Army and the Imperial Guard were stationed outside the city, waiting quietly.
At the top of the city, Su Lu looked to the west in the distance, his face as calm as ever.
That was the Sanshan Pass where the barbarians were. The army was supposed to set out today to attack Sanshan Pass. Unfortunately, the Qin Emperor suspected him. As a foreign minister, he could not be trusted by the Qin Emperor.
Ye Qingmei put a cloak on Su Lu: "Your Majesty, let's go. You have a body of thousands of dollars. You don't have to wait here for Li Lu. Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with us."
Xiang Chongtong led a group of black flags to rescue Li Lu. In Ye Qingmei's view, they were all Qin troops and had nothing to do with their own Han country.
Su Lu sighed: "Emperor Qin's people are suffering."
Ye Qingmei's face darkened as she thought of her life experience: "Then what can we do? They are Qin people. Under Qin's rule, if they cannot resist, this will be the end."
Ma Ping urged from the side: "Master, please stop lamenting the people of Qin. If Emperor Qin finds out, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
Su Lu glanced at Ma Ping: "Whenever big things happen, you should be calm and calm. Why panic? You have been with me for so many years and you have never encountered any kind of situation. This place is worth your panic."
When Ma Ping heard this, he thought about conquering Thule in the north and blocking Qin in the south. Yes, he had experienced such dangerous scenes. Today, it was just a piece of cake. He was so panicked.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard on the long street in the city. More than a dozen riders kept up their speed. When they arrived at the gate of the city, the leader of the Black Flag Army raised his head and shouted.
"Your Majesty, the general has rescued Li Lu and will be here soon. Please retreat first, Your Majesty."
Su Lu put away his cloak and put it in Ye Qingmei's hand.
"Let's go, say goodbye to Cao Bao, it's time for us to leave."
The group left the city, and Xiang Chong and Li Lu quickly rushed over.
Li Lu was tortured quite severely, and his clothes were covered with blood and dirt, making him look quite miserable.
Seeing Su Lu, Li Lu spoke hoarsely, tried to put on airs, and saluted Su Lu: "Your Majesty, the general has caused you trouble."
Su Lu waved his hand: "Okay, let's get in the car. If we don't leave, we will really have a conflict with the Qin army."
"Lu Zhan, you commander of the Black Flag Army will take General Li Lu to go ahead. I will catch up with Eunuch Cao after reminiscing about old times. Let's go back to Wuyuan today."
Lu Zhan led the men to go first, while Su Lu led the guards camp and stationed their horses quietly on the moat, watching Ma Ping direct the guards to untie the wooden rafts on the moat and start cutting the ropes.
The sound of intensive horse hooves echoed in the city, mixed with shouts.
After a while, a group of Qin troops appeared at the city gate, holding torches and lighting up both sides of the road. They saw Su Road at the head of the Zhuma Bridge.
The leading captain knew Su Lu and did not dare to move forward. He quickly went back and reported to Cao Bao.
Not long after, Cao Bao arrived on horseback and hurriedly arrived at the bridge.
"My lord, how fast can you go?"
"Your Majesty treats the prince well, why do you want to leave now?"
Next to him, Ma Ping said: "Eunuch Cao, my prince is here waiting for you to reminisce about old times. He is not here to listen to your lobbying."
Cao Bao looked at Zuo Kun, urged his horse, crossed the suspension bridge, and looked at Su Lu with a wry smile.
"My lord, if you want to leave, no one will dare to stop you. Why should you do this?"
Su Lu looked at Cao Bao: "Old Cao, I think you are a good person. I want to tell you a few words before I leave. You don't have to persuade me if there are any unnecessary words."
"I came from Li Shuai, but now that Li Shuai is gone, I can't even complete the task of entrusting him with an orphan, so how can I have the dignity to call myself a general at that time? This step has to be taken."
"After I leave, the barbarians will inevitably revolt. If this happens, western Liaoning will not be safe. If you have the intention, disperse all the people in the western part of Qin State."
Cao Bao's face froze: "Your Majesty, is the matter really irreversible?"
"Kang Sun and Zhao Congshan were also famous generals at that time. Could it be that the sergeants you trained under your command can't stop the barbarians?"
Su Lu thought to himself that if I didn't have formations and soldiers and generals, I wouldn't be able to stop the barbarians with just these newly trained military formations, but I can't tell you this.
"A famous general at that time?"
"How is it compared to Li Chengfeng? How is it compared to Xiao Yan?"
Following Su Lu's words, Cao Bao's face turned darker and darker. It was something that even a famous general like Li Chengfeng couldn't do. Why could his defeated general Zhao Congshan do it?
"Your Majesty, is it really impossible for you to stay?"
"Whizzing"
The two guards fired two arrows at the bridgehead, suppressing the Qin army that was gathering at the city gate.
Su Lu asked Cao Bao: "Old Cao, you are an old man next to Emperor Qin. Don't you know his temper?"
Cao Bao's face darkened, yes, given His Majesty's temperament, even if he is forced to resurrect the prince this time due to the situation, he may not end well in the future. Li Chengfeng is a lesson learned from the past.
It would be better to let the prince leave simply like this. At least in Han Dynasty, no one would object to the prince's words and he would stick to his word.
Letting go of the reins, Cao Bao clasped his fists and saluted: "In that case, I won't persuade you any more. If Cao is in trouble someday, please come to the prince's family. I hope that the prince will allow you to have a place to stay."
Su Lu nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you, Old Cao."
Cao Bao saluted with clasped fists.
Su Lu turned the horse's head and gave the order: "Send Eunuch Cao back and break the suspension bridge."
Cao Bao rode back.
Ma Ping waved his hand, and several riders waved the steel knives in their hands, cutting off the ropes. The wooden rafts that had been cut open instantly sank to the bottom of the river.
The captain of the city gate school came over in a hurry and said urgently: "Father-in-law, give the order. If we chase now, we can still catch up with the prince."
Cao Bao glanced at the captain of the city gate.
Captain Chengmen felt as if his heart had been cut out with a knife, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"How should we do this? Please make it public?"
The captain of the city gate said obediently.
Cao Bao said nothing, watching Su Lu's team raise their torches, speed up, and then disappear into the dark night, leaving only a little light of fire, and finally disappeared.
"Raise the drawbridge and prepare to catch up."
They have been running for more than half an hour, and they can still catch up now! However, the captain of the city gate did not dare to say anything more, and ordered his sergeants to salvage the suspension bridge and prepare to catch up.
"Isn't it faster to take the south gate or the north gate?"
A brigade commander asked.
"Snapped"
The captain of the city gate gave him a slap in the face and cursed him.
"Damn it, I didn't hear my military order, there are so many things going on there!"
Several brigade commanders immediately shut their mouths and ordered their brothers to get busy.
When Emperor Qin received the news, it was already late at night, and he summoned all the generals in the city overnight.
"Su Lu is gone, who can tell me what to do next?"
Emperor Qin looked at the generals below with his eyes spitting fire.
None of the generals spoke, and Zhao Congshan, who had recently been transferred from the capital of Qin, spoke helplessly.
"Soldiers will come to block it, water will come to cover it, and the earth will cover it. Your Majesty, please relax.
Everyone here has experienced war veterans, and there are also brave generals who followed Prince Su to conquer the barbarians. Tian Heng and Zhao Shuo are all brave generals who have fought against the barbarians and won them. Even if we cannot defeat the barbarians, in western Liaoning
It’s not a problem to block them.”
Kang Sun also said: "Your Majesty has no worries. With his ministers waiting, he will not be much weaker than Prince Su. In the battle to defend the city, it is the growth of a certain class, not to mention the elites led by Prince Su.
Block the barbarians outside Liaoxi City."
The rest of the generals also came out to talk, but most of them would be able to defend the city without any problems, but not one of them dared to go out to fight.
Emperor Qin sat dejectedly on his chair, thinking about Cao Bao's military affairs booklet that day. If he had not made any mistakes, Su Lu's army had already set off, and it would not be difficult to drive the barbarians out of the western border.
Now, it's all gone.
I hope Zhao Congshan and his friends can match their strength and stop the barbarian army in western Liaoning.
