Su Lu looked at the Qin troops who had returned from the land battle, and his face was a little ugly. The Qin troops, who had been invincible every day, accompanied Li Chengfeng to death on the battlefield, and were finally about to fall.
Su Lu gave instructions: "I will leave Li Lu to lead the newly formed Wuyuan army to guard Wuyuan and resist the barbarians. When you are done resting, go and report to Li Lu."
The Wuyuan Governor's Mansion still retained its establishment, but the army changed from the Qin army to the Han army. After the Han army withdrew, the Wuyuan army composed of newly recruited Wuyuan natives was handed over to Li Lutong.
The land of Qin was still ruled by the Qin people.
If Emperor Qin retreats eastward, Su Lu doesn't want to be too embarrassed, but now that Emperor Qin retreats north into Liangzhou, he really won't see him again.
The generals agreed with a roar.
The next day, Su Lu was checking the military affairs booklet in the tent. Lu Zhan came in with a very unhappy face and reported: "Commander Commander, the generals who came with me this time are not willing to go to Wuyuan again.
Follow and serve under the Commander-in-Chief."
Su Lu nodded. This is understandable. After facing the vicious barbarians, it will have a huge psychological impact on himself. If he feels that the barbarians are ferocious and invincible, he will not be willing to face the barbarians again.
Wuyuan is located on the frontier and will definitely face the barbarians.
Su Lu comforted him and said: "This is their own choice, and it is also the choice of Emperor Qin. Emperor Qin chose not to believe me and forced me to run away. The barbarian army besieged Liaoxi. Emperor Qin did not choose to coexist with the city and lost everything."
This is the last chance, there is nothing anyone can do about it."
Su Lu was comforting Lu Zhan when Ma Ping hurried in and reported:
"Commander Commander, something bad has happened. The Qi people have raised a large army again, passing through the Qingjiang River and approaching Guangnan."
Su Lu raised his eyebrows: "What kind of army? I can see clearly. Is it the Qi people or the Yingte people that Roland said?"
Ma Ping bowed and said: "It is a mixed army of Yingte and Qi people. There are quite a few Qi people. It looks like it should be the newly formed northern army of Qi State."
"They carry countless weapons. According to reports, hundreds of large ships are used to transport bows and crossbows, and they are also continuously transporting weapons to the north coast."
Su Lu nodded: "Send the order and the entire army will be on alert and prepare to meet the enemy."
"Instruct Su Yun's bird soldiers to send birds out to inquire about the enemy's military situation."
The Qingjiang camp was defeated, and tens of thousands of Han troops were lost. Most of his troops now consist of troops recruited locally from Guangnan and Jiangzhou. Zhao Tingbu's combat strength is acceptable, and most of the rest of the newly recruited military personnel have never seen blood.
, despite these days of training, the combat effectiveness is not strong. When it comes to the battlefield, you still have to rely on the formation to block the troops.
This time the opponent is the coalition forces of the Yingte people and the Qi people. They not only have flying birds, but also field weapons such as crossbows. This battle is really difficult to fight.
Following Su Lu's military order, two flying birds took off, and the scouts sent by the camp went out to inquire about the military situation.
At the Jiangling Ferry on the Qingjiang River, the boats mobilized by the Qi people were converging towards the north bank in a steady stream. The sailors who had been drafted were shouting slogans and holding up their poles as they approached the ferry shore one by one.
Fisherman Chen Laoshi carefully docked the boat and threw out the rope. After watching the people on the shore tie the rope and the boat stopped firmly, he put down the pole and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Chen Laoshi was originally an honest fisherman by the Qingjiang River. He made a living by fishing. The arrival of the Han army did not affect his life. The new fish he caught were often bought by the Han army, which made Chen Laoshi
Life has improved a lot.
A few days ago, the Han army was defeated, and Chen Laoshi had not sold any fish for a while.
Most of the fish they caught were plundered by the passing Qi army, and they didn't pay for it. If they were late, they would get slapped in the face or kicked in the butt.
Now, Chen Laoshi's ships have been requisitioned and used to transport supplies.
After reaching the shore, Chen Laoshi emptied the ship of supplies and sat on the bow to rest. Looking at the groups of Qi troops on the shore, Chen Laoshi secretly spat. These damn bastards wanted to conscript their own ship without giving it to them.
Not even a copper penny was paid, and they were not even allowed to eat enough.
"Honestly, let's go."
Ergou, a fisherman from a neighboring village, greeted Chen Laoshi to set off. If he was too slow to start, he would turn back to the south bank and be whipped by Qi Jun again.
Calling the people on the shore to untie the rope, Chen Laoshi put away the rope, picked up the pole, and swung it hard on the shore. The boat started to move and left the river bank.
A large number of requisitioned ships headed towards the south coast.
"thump"
A man punting a boat suddenly tilted his head and fell into the water.
"Hurry and save people"
After a while of noise, several nearby boatmen jumped into the water and rescued the man who fell into the water.
Ergou and Chen Laoshi's boat were in tandem. Looking at the man, Ergou said pitifully:
"This is Song Yi from Jiangdun Village. My mother, father, wife and children all rely on him to fish for a living. Now that he can't fish, the family is in trouble.
He couldn't even get enough of the food given to him by Qi Jun, but he still had to take some of it back to his mother and father-in-law, so he must have been too hungry."
Chen Laoshi took a look at Song Yi who was lying on the bow of the boat spitting out water. He looked sallow, thin, and depressed. He was probably almost the same as Song Yi.
Thinking of Song Yi's family, Chen Laoshi thought of his own family's predicament.
They also rely on fishing to make a living. Although they have not stopped now and are living on some stored grain, the stored grain will be exhausted today, and I am afraid that the end will be worse than that of Song Yi.
Thinking like this, Chen Laoshi's boating movements slowed down a lot. He was really hungry.
Ergou suddenly slowed down, waited for Chen Laoshi's boat to approach, and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Laoshi, do you want to have a full meal?"
Chen Laoshi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ergou, do you have any way to get food?"
Before he finished speaking, the boatmen around him all pushed their boats over and looked at Ergou with hopeful faces.
These people had been transporting ordnance to the Qi people for days, and their food was deprived of food. They were all very hungry. Those who had families, especially those who were hungry, were just like Song Yi, and wanted to fall into the river.
Ergou saw that everyone was paying attention and said, "The food I transported just now is food, food that can be used as food."
Ergou said mysteriously.
A man with a loud voice in the middle shouted: "Er Gou, everyone knows you have a lot of clever ideas. Just tell me, what do you want the elders to do?"
"Yes, Brother Kaiseki is right, listen to Ergou."
"As long as I can get food, Ergou, I'll be willing to call you daddy if you ask me to."
Amidst the chaotic shouting, Ergouzi called everyone together and expressed his thoughts.
Everyone looked sad and seemed a little afraid to do it.
The crowd was silent, except for the sound of the river lapping at the boats.
Song Yi was so hungry that he was dizzy and wanted to fall into the river. Ergou took out a small piece of cornstarch from his arms and threw it to Song Yi.
"Brother Song, let's eat something first to cushion our stomach. Our work is very dangerous. If we lose our lives, the whole family will have to drink Jiang Feng."
After a while, Song Yi patted his thigh after eating some steamed buns.
"Damn it, you're dead, I did it. For the sake of the whole family, I, Song Yi, did it."
"I did it too. My mother and I haven't eaten for three days. I did it for food."
As Song Yi returned to camp, everyone unanimously agreed with Er Gouzi's idea.
Chen Laoshi touched his dry belly and sighed, but this is illegal.
