This is an internal military report from Dingxiang Guards, which records in detail the domestic intelligence of the Han Kingdom.
However, Su Lu usually didn't read it. He would always join the army or Chang Ning to read it for him, and then select the important information and tell him.
During the battle to capture Xunrang City, Su Lu led his troops out of the city. Changning failed to keep an eye on Su Lu and was sent back by Li Qing. Now around Su Lu, Dong Ling is basically handling intelligence.
After hearing Dong Ling's inquiry, Cao took off his official hat, rubbed his hair, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Then I don't know. Governor Roda has a problem with me, Cao Jie. I went to ask about the new ballistae, but I was scolded so much that I couldn't open my eyes. As for where the new ballistae went, I, Cao Jie, didn't dare to ask."
Amid Cao Jie's complaints, Su Lu's brows furrowed even more as he read the military report. This Luo Da had been the governor of Luojiang Prefecture for a few days, and he didn't know what was going on.
"I know about this matter, let it go. Just make arrangements for defense. I will personally write the document and go to Luojiang Governor's Mansion to urge the troops stationed everywhere to pay close attention to threats from overseas."
Cao took it, and Dong Ling took the booklet approved by Su Lu and said:
"Luoda is your Majesty's man. To be precise, he is a member of Li Weiyuan's family. After the lesson learned last time, although Li Weiyuan is no longer hostile to the prince, he is still quite wary of you, especially in Liangjiang.
In the region and in the deployment of commanders and captains of the military commanders stationed in various places, they have always tried their best to suppress our generals and bring some trash to power."
Su Lu sighed, "If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Write a letter in my name to reprimand Luo Da. At the same time, give Wen Jiang a secret order to strengthen water patrols in the Luo River and Qing River to guard against sneak attacks by the British navy.
I am the ferry along the Luo River."
Dong Ling agreed, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, and sat down aside and began to draft the text.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, former deputy lieutenant of the Dingwei Battalion, Ying Yuan, is asking for a meeting."
Lu Zhan came in and said something, with a worried look on his face.
Su Lu waved his hand and motioned for him to let Ying Yuan in.
Yingyuan was dressed in a dark-colored robe and his hair was tied with a wooden hairpin. He entered the central hall and knelt on one knee in front of the handsome case.
"Your Majesty, we will eventually win far away. On behalf of the 48,000 soldiers of Qin, I would like to ask Your Majesty to send troops to save our fellow countrymen who are in dire straits in Qin."
As he spoke, Yingyuan fell to the ground, his voice full of sorrow.
Su Lu was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and looked at Ying Yuan who was lying on the ground, his eyes full of questions.
Lu Zhan bent down, took the blood letter written by Ying Yuan from Ying Yuan's hand, held it up with both hands, and handed it over.
The white silk satin folded into squares was more than ten layers thick, and it was covered with mottled bloodstains and had a light brown color, which looked shocking.
Su Lu put his hand on the blood book and asked:
"Yingyuan, you are the deputy lieutenant of a guard camp, and the leader is writing this bloody letter. Do you know the consequences?"
Yingyuan knelt on the ground without raising his head, his voice was hoarse.
"The general will finally understand that gathering a crowd to cause trouble and disobeying the military prohibition will be punished by death."
"The general is not afraid of death, and death is not terrible. But when I look at the folks in my hometown, they are in dire straits. They may become the food of the barbarians at any time. They are not safe, they don't have enough clothes to cover their bodies, and they don't have enough to eat. Even if I win, I won't win."
Even death is enough."
Su Lu sighed: "Yingyuan, do you know why I don't have the troops to attack the barbarians in Qin now?"
Yingyuan kowtows as if it were garlic: "The general will understand that the barbarians are powerful and have the help of the Taixi birds. Our army of birds cannot resist the Taixi birds. Without the protection of the fortified city, this battle will be impossible to fight."
Su Lu glanced at Ying Yuan in astonishment. This guy was unknown, but he had good eyesight.
"Then tell me, what should I do?"
Su Lu scolded Ying Yuan and said.
Ying Yuan straightened up and looked at Su Lu, "The general will not stand from the perspective of the commander-in-chief. The general will stand from his own perspective, the perspective of the elders in his hometown, and the perspective of his parents, wives and children at home."
"Please, Your Majesty, send troops to save my father and fellow villagers."
Yingyuan fell to the ground, his face full of bitterness and helplessness.
Su Lu sighed and asked, "Yingyuan, how old are you this year? Where is your hometown? Who else is there in your family?"
Yingyuan lay on the ground and suddenly started sobbing.
"Going back to the commander-in-chief, the general's home is in a village in Gangcha County, western Liaoning. The family members are all here. My wife gave me a son just last year."
At this point, Ying Yuan burst into tears and fell softly to the ground.
Dong Ling suddenly asked: "Is your family from Wuli Village, Gangcha County?"
Su Lu understood that Wuli Village was raided by barbarians a few months ago. Except for some villagers who were killed on the spot, the rest were escorted to western Liaoning.
Wang Fang, the leader of the army, originally wanted to rescue these villagers, but Li Lu was not strict in his military management and the sergeants disobeyed military orders, which resulted in the ambush being failed, the loss of troops and generals, and the villagers of Wuli Village could not be rescued.
This is the consequence of rashly sending troops. The people who were originally intended to be rescued failed to be rescued.
Dong Ling gave Lu Zhan a wink, and Lu Zhan waved, and several guards came over, picked up Ying Yuan, and threw him on a chair.
"You are posing a problem for the Commander-in-Chief!"
Dong Ling stood in front of Ying Yuan and scolded him.
"The people of Wuli Village fell into the hands of the barbarians. Who is to blame?"
Dong Ling scolded Ying Yuan without mercy.
"To put it more closely, I blame the son-in-law Lu Tang from your village for disobeying the military orders and attacking without permission, turning the original ambush into a strong attack. The guards failed to rescue the people, but instead suffered a heavy loss of troops."
"A little further, blame the guy who leaked the hidden treasures of your villagers. He hid them well and nothing happened. Then he waited for the barbarians to leave and continued to live their lives. But it happened to be him who leaked the hidden treasures of your villagers, causing everyone to be killed and killed.
Those who are caught will be caught.”
"If you go any further, it's your Majesty's fault, the Qin State's genocide, for forcing Li Chengfeng to death, forcing our commander-in-chief to leave, and turning what was originally a good situation into a genocide."
"Why, you think it doesn't matter if your own country is destroyed and your species is destroyed, but you want to harm our Han country again!"
Dong Ling's words made Ying Yuan speechless and even forgot about his sobs.
"That's not what the general meant"
Yingyuan knelt on the ground again. He really didn't mean that. He didn't want to let the Han country perish.
Dong Ling snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily true. Who knows what your original thoughts were. You gathered so many people to write blood letters and then threatened the prince. Who knows what your intentions are in Yingyuan."
Su Lu waved his hand and pointed directly at Dong Ling, and ordered Ying Yuan to speak.
"I'm not afraid of letting you down today. Yingyuan, our army is not fully prepared. Not only is the new flying bird not ready yet, but even the logistics support cannot be perfected. Think about it, if you invade the Qin Kingdom, you won't even be able to eat.
, What should I fight with the barbarians for, your head or your meat?"
"After returning, comfort the sergeants of Qin and tell them that it will be sooner or later to reach western Liaoning. I, Su Lu, promised them that within one month, regardless of whether the new flying birds can form combat effectiveness, we will send out troops one month later.
Attack the barbarians, avenge the folks who died among the barbarians and the Taishi people, and avenge the folks who are in dire straits."
Huo Ze strode in from outside, breathing heavily, holding an urgent military report in his hand.
"Commander Commander, something serious has happened!"
