The city was in ruins, with rotten smells and bones everywhere.
Su Lu looked at the tall city wall and sighed. In the past, when the Qin Kingdom was still there, he could block the barbarian attack with the fortified city in front of him. Now that he had changed his position, he was able to capture the fortified city in one fell swoop.
It’s okay not to enter this city.
"Call Wang Fang to set up a government office tomorrow to deal with the aftermath of the affairs in Liaoxi City."
Su Lu ordered.
In this battle, most of the Han army was assembled, and the troops under Wang Fang's command matched Su Lu's troops. The total number of Han troops exceeded one hundred thousand, their number exceeded ten thousand, and they were boundless.
Dong Ling stopped the messenger who was about to deliver the order and asked, "Commander Commander, Wang Fang has thirty thousand troops under his command, and most of them are local old Qin people. These troops are not suitable for his continued use."
Su Lu nodded. Regardless of whether Wang Fang wanted to gain power or not, the soldiers he had brought up were no longer suitable for him to use.
"Send the order to select the disabled local sergeants from the army, establish the Liaoxi Guards House, and cooperate with the king to complete the repairs in western Liaoning."
"The rest of the sergeants will rest for five days and prepare to leave."
"In five days, we will break the Jiameng Pass."
Su Lu ordered.
The generals responded with a roar.
In the central military tent, Uncle Fu came in with a dozen sergeants and reported to Su Lu:
"Commander Commander, these are all those who escaped from Jiameng Pass. They are all familiar with the terrain near Jiameng Pass."
Su Lu ordered Lu Zhan to unfold the defense plan and asked: "Brothers, you are from Jiameng Pass. Do you know the terrain of Jiameng Pass and whether there is an easy way to enter the city?"
Tang De, who had gray hair and beard, stood up and said: "Commander Commander, I know a trail."
Another middle-aged sergeant with dark skin and face also said: "I also know something."
Su Lu motioned to Tang De to speak first.
Tang De stepped forward, took the brush from Lu Zhan's hand, stretched out his hand and drew a stroke on the defense map. The line circled half a circle from the west of Jiameng Pass, then turned halfway up the mountain and entered Jiameng Pass.
"There is a trail here. Brothers used to take this trail when going in and out of Guancheng. Firstly, they can avoid a lot of taxes. Secondly, they can bring a few people there."
Su Lu nodded and motioned for the dark-faced middle-aged sergeant to come forward.
The sergeant stepped forward and said respectfully: "Commander Commander, what I know is another way. From here, take a detour here and go up to the outside of Jiameng Pass, but you can't get into Jiameng Pass."
Su Lu frowned. It seems that this Jiameng Pass cannot be opened by one man.
"Okay, in a few days, you will be the guides and lead the brothers through Jiameng Pass. Do you have the courage?"
Su Lu asked Tang De.
Tang De was a little hesitant and entered Jiameng Pass. It was the territory of the barbarians and the Westerners. The barbarians would eat people all day long. There were old and young in his family. What if they died in Jiameng Pass?
There is no hope.
"Commander Commander, it's not that I, Old Tang, don't work hard, but it's my family. I'm the only one left in the family."
Su Lu nodded: "Okay, you will be the guide. You don't need to enter Jiameng Pass. You only need to go to Guancheng. If you can successfully bring the guards into Jiameng Pass, you will be promoted to two levels of honor."
Tang De's eyes lit up, he clasped his fists in front of his chest and said in a respectful voice: "I'll take your orders."
Su Lu waved his hand and ordered Uncle Fu to take them out.
After several people left the camp, Uncle Fu scolded Tang De and said, "Old Tang, you are also very courageous. You actually bargained with the general. We join the army and just obey the military orders. The commander-in-chief will not treat us badly."
Tang De rolled his eyes and glanced at Uncle Forbes:
"Old Fu, you said it simply. If I hadn't spoken, who would have known that my two brothers in Tang De's family were dead, and who would have known that one of my three sons was killed in the battle, and the remaining one even had his leg broken.
I stay at home every day and make noises about committing suicide."
Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment, "I really don't know about these situations."
Tang De snorted: "Don't talk if you don't know. I'm different from you. I still have a father and mother to support, and my wife's father and mother to support. When I die, there are four old people above me and a lame man below."
My son must die, but I can’t die.”
Uncle Fu didn't know what to say for a moment. Soldiers must obey military orders, but Old Tang's situation does seem to be more difficult.
The middle-aged sergeant with a dark face said: "Old Tang, your family is in trouble, and Uncle Fu's family is also in trouble. His Ada's life is uncertain, A'er is still in the Liangzhou Army, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. There are also two people above him.
You have an old man to support, and you still have a lame son. If Uncle Fu dies, the two old men will have no choice but to starve to death."
Tang De rolled his eyes: "It's none of my business, get out of the way."
Pushing aside the middle-aged sergeant, Tang De walked out on his own.
If I get the Commander-in-Chief today, as long as I take them to Jiameng Pass in a few days, I will be steadily promoted to two levels of honors, and I will be able to get an extra two taels of silver every month. Such good news will make my parents happy.
You know, let them be happy too.
Inside Jiameng Pass, inside the barbarian camp.
Many elders of the barbarians and all the barbarian generals under Xiaolun Gongbu who had fled to Jiameng Pass gathered here.
"Why didn't Elder Dalun Chengshan escape?"
Griya, the great elder of the barbarian tribe, asked Xiaolun Gongbu with an ugly look on his face.
The war lasted for such a long time, and Xiaolun Gongbu retreated all the way from the Han Kingdom. How many barbarian generals died on the way, including three elders of the Dalun clan, not to mention countless barbarian generals.
Xiaolun Gongbu pointed his finger at Ye Su Bu Ze: "This is my barbarian general, Ye Su Bu Ze. His crow's mouth is always right. As long as he says he wants to break the city, the city will definitely be broken. Rely on him."
With the crow's mouth, I escaped all the way from Han."
A group of barbarian elders looked at Ye Subuze in confusion. They had crow's mouth and escaped with crow's mouth?
Is this too fake?
Xiaolun Gongbu looked at the expressions of all the lieutenants and generals in his eyes, and his heart was full of sneers, hum, I knew you wouldn't believe it, but it just so happens that I will be the one who can escape anyway.
Griya pondered for a while, then asked seriously: "Young Clan Chief, our clan has lost many troops and generals in all the wars, and many of our sons have been killed and wounded. If it weren't for the Young Clan Chief, these tens of thousands of horses would have been lost in all the wars."
, Young Patriarch, you are the hero of our clan."
Xiaolun Gongbu's expression changed. He was about to become evil. This old guy, Griya, is sophisticated and good at planning. He is plotting against my men.
Griya waved his hand and stopped Xiaolun Gongbu who wanted to speak, with a solemn expression on his face.
"These 10,000 people are still under the leadership of the young clan leader. As this battle continues, the Taixi people will definitely lose. We cannot die here with the Taixi people. If we want to survive, we are our hope."
"I have decided that the young patriarch will take charge of these sons and escape from Jiameng Pass before the war begins."
All the elders and barbarian generals were unwilling to do so, and they all tried to dissuade Griya.
Griya waved his hand and stood up, his face solemn.
"The young patriarch is a great hero of our clan. If you have any objections, just wait until you return to the clan and talk to the clan leader."
"Before this, anyone who dares to disobey the Young Patriarch's military orders should watch their skin carefully."
