"I am the ninth generation of the Zhao family. I have a man saved by my family. I can't end the generation when he comes to my place."
"Brother Su, please save me. When you arrive in the capital, I will take you to the Bada Hutong to have a meal with a king and sleep with a girl."
Su Lu was immediately shocked. Zhao Pu seemed to be such a decent governor, but he didn't expect that he would spend so much time and money, just eat the Overlord's meal. Even the girls would force the Overlord to bow down to him. The atmosphere in this capital is still very tempting.
"Lao Fan just went to see the commander-in-chief and asked me for an army of soldiers and horses to wipe out the bandits and Thule spies in Erlong Mountain."
Zhao Pu's face suddenly fell and he said to himself: "The result is still the same. The bandits and Tule people in Erlong Mountain pushed hard. My Dingxiang Army is definitely no match. Last time on the front line of Suozibao
In the battle to break the city, the Thule general named Mo Duo and a thousand-man team defeated Chen Mu's Ding army, but I couldn't do it."
Zhao Pu shook his head like a rattle. Such a life-saving business is definitely inappropriate.
Su Lu turned back and explained: "You have to think carefully. The army that Lao Fan wants to join is under my command. I dare not say that the guard camp can defeat Mo Duo against a thousand-man army, but give it to me
With one army, sweeping Erlong Mountain is like chopping up melons and vegetables."
Zhao Pu was dubious: "Really?"
Su Lu ignored him. I overturned two thousand-man troops in front of the camp. You saw it with your own eyes, and you even asked me if it was true.
Zhao Pu suddenly recalled the situation when Su Lu defeated two Thule Thousand-man troops, and slapped his thigh.
"Just wait, I will go with you to suppress the bandits."
Zhao Pu was very fast, and before the civilian men Su Lu had recruited were ready, he took a few guard generals and found Su Lu sitting on the shaft of the cart.
"Everyone, this is Captain Su Lu, the founder of the country, Lord Su."
Several guard generals paid tribute to Su Lu one after another, but they all had fake smiles on their faces. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, only they themselves knew.
Zhao Pu knew several of his subordinates and explained: "You may not know much about Sir Su's strength, but you just need to believe and follow Sir Su to win the battle."
Several guards generals looked at me, and I looked at you, with expressions of disbelief.
Su Lu waved his hand to stop Zhao Pu who wanted to continue speaking, so he ordered:
"Everyone go back, gather your sergeants, and leave immediately. We won't be here for a while."
Although several generals of the Dingxiang Army were confused, for the sake of Zhao Pu, they all agreed and went back to gather their troops.
In front of the main tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Cong and Luo Du stood side by side.
Xiao Cong looked at the pack horses traveling not far away, and the people were densely packed. He couldn't help but ask questions in his heart, and asked:
"Shuai Luo, what Lieutenant Su said is very reasonable. There is nothing to fear from the attachment of Youxiang Chao. The nine surnames of Zhaowu are what we must guard against."
Luo Du's body swayed, and he was supported by Zhengyang Shulin, a member of the Guards Standing behind him. Then he barely stood still, enduring the burning feeling on his back, Luo Du spoke:
"Stop talking, I am the commander-in-chief of the Beizheng Camp. If anything happens, I will take the responsibility."
Xiao Cong's face darkened, he looked at Luo Du's face that was twisted due to back pain, and swallowed the next words.
After working together for decades, Xiao Cong knew Luo Du's temper very well. Once he made a decision, he had to resolutely implement it. It was useless to try to persuade him.
"Why……"
Xiao Cong sighed and walked out.
In the next few days, the Beizheng camp set off.
In several battles with Thule's small forces, the forwards won consecutive victories, which lifted their already low morale.
Although the marching speed of the army was very slow, after five days, it still advanced to the territory of Suozibao, and was less than a hundred miles away from Suozibao County.
The army was marching, and a horseman galloped over. When he arrived in front of the cart where Luodu was lying, the knight dismounted and reported to Luodu:
"Commander, news from the West Route Army."
Luo Du leaned over, took the military affairs booklet, glanced at it, frowned, and ordered the soldiers next to him:
"Go and call for Deputy Commander Xiao. General Li and General Han are also here. Be careful not to cause a disturbance."
Suffering from grief and war, Luo Du was already shaken.
Xiao Cong arrived, looked at the military affairs brochure, and frowned as well.
News came from the West Route Army that the troops of the Nine Tribes of Zhaowu were moving, and they suspected that they were going to attack the front line of Wangxiang Guards Beacon Tower. The West Route Army did not dare to act without authorization and sent people to ask the commander for information.
Luo Du glanced at Xiao Cong, his expression self-explanatory: What should I do? Your deputy commander will think of a way.
Xiao Cong thought mmp, the West Route Army can't move, what can I do, just follow Su Lu's plan, the West Route Army will pretend to move, and the East Route Army will come to encircle them.
"Commander Luo, why not follow Captain Su's method and have the West Route Army make several feints to test the bottom line of the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu? Do not take action against the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu unless it is absolutely necessary."
Luo Jian's face stopped darkening and he began to feel embarrassed. He was the one who rejected the method proposed by Su Lu. If he uses it now, it would be a slap in the face, bang bang bang...
If Su Lu's method is not used, the West Route Army will definitely not be able to mobilize, and then the Middle Route Army will have to be mobilized. If only the Central Route Army is deployed, Luo Du can understand with his toes that the Thule people can be defeated in one battle.
Own.
To use it or not to use it, that is the question.
…
In front of Erlong Mountain, the horses of the captains and captains of the Dingxiang Army gathered in a group, saying in twos and threes:
"Ahead is Erlong Mountain, and our end is coming."
"Captain Chen Mu was able to escape, but two of his guard camps were destroyed, resulting in heavy casualties."
"Your Excellency, you have left the work of establishing meritorious service in Beizheng, but come to suppress the bandits. Aren't you here to die?"
Zhao Pu was riding on his big white horse, bending down to talk to Su Lu who was sleeping on the cart.
"Brother Su, these past few days, I feel that people are in a state of panic."
"When Chen Mu's grandson led the army, he experienced at least three bandit sieges when he came here. Although he was repulsed by him, the guard also lost less than half of its troops."
Zhao Pu was very puzzled, why Mao didn't have any bandits now, so they were all waiting for him in Erlong Mountain.
Li Kun urged his horse over and explained: "Our guard camp has been walking this route for a while, and those bandits were naturally wiped out by us."
"Second brother, there is Erlong Mountain ahead. The scouts came to report that there is no sound within a radius of ten miles. They suspect that there are bandits ambushing in the mountains and forests. What should we do?"
Zhao Pu on the side was stunned. Did I really guess it?
Su Lu sat up and glanced at the sun. It was just after noon. If the fight went faster this time, he might be able to spend the night on Erlong Mountain.
"Okay, Li Kun, pass my order. Han Shang will lead the Ding camp and lead a guard camp of the Dingxiang Army to sweep down the mountain. They will pull out all the exposed stakes and hidden sentries and completely block the foot of the mountain. No one will be allowed to go up the mountain."
"Order, Li Kun leads the first battalion and leads the two guard battalions of the Xiang army to Erlong Mountain on the back mountain. Once the battle breaks out on the front mountain, he will enter the back camp and kill all the Thule spies and these disgusting bandits."
Zhao Pu pointed at himself in a hurry: "I, what should I do, Brother Su, you have to arrange some work for me. I will die with my brothers."
Su Lu's face turned dark. Damn it, you don't think much of me.
