When Su Lu received the military order, he had just stepped out of the camp.
"The commander-in-chief invites you, General Su."
Zhang Shugen looked at Su Lu anxiously, his black face full of anxiety.
He must carry out the commander's military orders. Su Lu is also a general he admires. He knew about Su Lu's plan during the military meeting in Beizheng Camp that day. If Commander Luo had listened to General Su's plan, it would have been a different story today.
.
Su Ping put his arms around Zhang Shugen's shoulders like a dog and said angrily: "Shugen, Lao Lin just drove my second brother away, and now you rush here to invite my second brother back. What do you mean?"
?”
The guards in Battalion B all had unkind faces, as if they were trying to make you look good without telling them.
Zhang Shugen chuckled and said, "Lieutenant Su, don't make things difficult for me. This is a military plane, and I don't dare to reveal it to you. General Su will naturally know it when he goes to the big tent."
Su Ping raised his nose and raised his eyes: "Fart, if Lao Lintou is not angry with my second brother and secretly plots to deal with my second brother, why can't he tell me?"
Zhang Shugan scratched his head and said in a helpless tone: "Captain Su, it's definitely not what you think. Calling the general back this time will be of great use. I really can only say this much."
Su Lu racked his brains and couldn't figure out where he could be put to good use. Now that the defeated troops were gathering less and less, and the new army had basically been trained, there weren't many places where he could be put to good use.
"Okay, stop arguing, Shugen, let's go, I'll go to the big tent with you and have a look."
Su Ping was anxious: "Second brother, you can't go, what if we want to deal with you, unless the general..."
Outside the camp gate, Li Qing took the lead, with a white horse in white clothes and a heroic appearance, galloping from the direction of Beiyang. He pulled the reins of his horse at the gate of the camp, and the white horse stood up and brought up a piece of yellow sand.
"What are you doing standing here? Su Lu, follow me into the handsome account."
Li Qing threw the reins to Su Ping, turned around and strode into the camp. Only then did the guards behind him catch up, dismounted and followed Li Qing into the camp.
Su Lu turned around and walked towards the camp. Zhang Shugen hurriedly chased after him, leaving Su Ping touching his head with a nonchalant expression and muttering to himself:
"Say that the general will be here soon."
…
In the tent, Li Qing sat down on the right side of Xiao Cong, took off his clothes, wiped the dirt on his cheeks, and said in a clear voice: "It's been a few days since the mutiny under Li Xiaoqin's command, why is it happening now?"
Pass it back?"
Xiao Cong handed the letter to Li Qing silently.
After Li Qing read it, he pondered for a moment and said: "Now that the armies have set off one after another, the Dingxiang Army has occupied Tushan City, and Zhang Lu's Wu Army has also entered Xitun Ridge. It is probably too late to change the military plan now.
Already."
Lin Tong didn't speak. He felt that Li Qing's every word was making fun of his face.
Li Xiaoqin was recommended by him and was even related to him. He was the one who looked down on Su Lu back then. Now that something like this has happened, it is really embarrassing.
Xiao Cong knew that it was inappropriate for Lin Tong to speak now, so he simply spoke directly to Li Qing:
"For the current plan, only by letting General Su lead the army can we hope to reach the Lintao line within the agreed time. Otherwise, even if some Thule troops can be left in this battle, the results will be very limited."
Li Qing nodded: "Yes, if we can't block the Thule people's retreat, our military exploits will be very limited. If we can't show any military exploits that can be recognized by everyone in the court, it will be very detrimental to the Xuanfu."
Xiao Cong lowered his eyebrows. He knew that the princess must have received the news. Jiedushi Luo He's nepotism led to the disastrous defeat of the Beizheng camp and had been taken to the capital by Suo Na. This was the first time that the emperor had faced the Thule people since he succeeded to the throne.
It's not surprising that Bingfeng was so angry. Xiao Cong wouldn't be surprised even if the entire Xuan Mansion was fucked.
Thinking about the hat on his head, Xiao Cong finally lowered his face:
"Princess, I have a copy of "Morning Journey to Beiyang" copied by Mr. Miyayama. Although it is not as good as the desk engraving, it is still a rare masterpiece. I will send someone to the county captain's house someday?"
Li Qing's eyebrows narrowed into a slit, and his voice was clear and clear: "Shuai Xiao is out of sight now. If you have anything to do, just give me an order. Everyone is begging for food in the camp, how can I refute your face?"
Xiao Cong thought to himself that it was a good thing that I knew that you admired Mr. Miyayama's calligraphy, so I took the trouble to ask her to copy this copy of "Morning Trip to Beiyang". Otherwise, I really don't know how to persuade you today.
Li Qing finished being polite, and then turned to Su Lu: "Su Lu, will you go and lead the troops this time?"
Su Lu deliberately refused to go. The mountain road was difficult to travel, and the weather was getting colder. Compared with the harvest, this transaction was not cost-effective.
But Li Qing can't be offended. This is her backer. It really annoys her and makes her life difficult.
When Li Qing saw Su Lu's appearance, he knew that he didn't want to go, so he took out a military affairs brochure and threw it to Su Lu.
"Zhao Pu committed a crime. The military order given to him was to enter Tushan City. This guy fought a battle with the Thule people and entered Tushan City head-on. Do you know why he wanted to fight this battle with the Thule people?"
"When Zhao Pu rushed to Tushan City, he found that the Thule people had already occupied Tushan City. His original idea was to follow the military order and capture Tushan City five days before the launch of the general offensive, cutting off the possibility of Thule jumping over the wall and heading south, but he saw that
When he went to commit murder against the Thule people, he was picked up by his sergeants and went straight to war with the Thule people."
"Tule soldiers were grabbing food in Shajiabao, thirty miles away from Tushan City, and they insulted women. They were bumped into by Zhao Pu's men. The tragic situation of those women aroused the masculinity of Dingxiang's army, and they marched thirty miles in half a day.
, broke through Tushan City and massacred all the Thule people."
Su Lu's heart trembled because he couldn't tell that this kid Zhao Pu still had such blood.
Li Qing went on to say: "He violated the military order and tied himself to come to me to plead guilty. I thought that it was a serious crime for him. If he resisted the order in battle, beheading would be a light crime. Su Lu, you are Zhao Pu's brother. Do you want to save him?"
One rescue..."
Three days later, on the endless mountain road of Lintao Mountains.
Zhao Pu, who joined the newly formed Beizheng Army, looked up at the towering peaks and the narrow path that was almost indistinguishable from the road, and wailed:
"How to get up here? Let me go back and be beheaded."
Su Lu raised his leg and kicked him on the butt: "If you want to die, stand aside and don't block the road. Those who block the road are not good dogs."
There was a sound of laughter all around, and the dead silence and silence in the team was dispersed a lot.
Su Lu saw that everyone's pessimism had dissipated a lot, and then he roared: "Everyone, work harder and climb over this mountain. We can catch up with Ding's army. When we get to the camp, I will prepare a good recipe for everyone."
food."
"Does it smell like the roasted lamb leg last time?"
"How can it be more delicious than roasted leg of lamb? The roasted leg of lamb last time was the most fragrant roasted leg of lamb I have ever eaten in my life."
"Following General Su is more delicious than eating roasted leg of lamb."
"If General Su's legs are here, why don't we eat roasted lamb legs?"
Su Lu thought, I am not a leg of mutton, these grandsons are starting to worry about my legs now, they are not good people.
"Each one has its own merits. Roast leg of lamb is suitable for eating while drinking wine, but this one is suitable for eating on this cold snow-capped mountain."
The crowd roared with laughter, and their morale improved a bit. Encouraged by the delicious food, the team moved much faster.
Zhao Pu grimaced and followed Su Lu with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother Su, now I know why Xiao Cong insisted on letting you lead the army. Even if Lin Tong feels as if he has eaten shit, he agrees as long as you lead the army."
, which absolves me of the guilt.”
"No one can get out of this broken road except you leading the army."
Su Lu breathed a sigh of relief. The further up he went, the colder the weather became. Now he could see occasional snowflakes on the ground, and the sergeants all put on clothes to keep out the cold.
Patting Zhao Pu on the shoulder, Su Lu comforted him and said: "Don't blame yourself. I came here to perform meritorious service. After completing this trip, everyone will receive a reward. I have become an army with this leap."
Commander, this is real power that many generals would not be able to gain even after spending half their lives."
Zhao Pu rubbed his eyes and followed. At first, he didn't understand why Su Lu was unwilling to lead his troops through this road, nor why Ding Jun mutinied. Now he knew that he could go through this road.
It's a mountain road, and you have to peel off your skin even if you don't die.
