After some treatment, Taishi Ci finally escaped from the embrace of death again.
Looking at Tai Shi Ci's resolute face that gradually regained its color, Xiang Ji smiled.
Finally, I didn’t let me lose you like this.
Although Xiang Ji also knew that in this era, military generals on the battlefield would inevitably have such a day, but it really happened to him, which was really unbearable.
"Wu Yue, you are very good. Tell me, what do you want?"
Having promised Wu Yue before, Xiang Ji would naturally not break his promise.
"Overlord, the villain has nothing to ask for."
Wu Yue was so busy that he was sweating profusely. When he suddenly heard Xiang Ji's question, he was startled.
Just kidding, this is the King of Chu, Xiang Ji, the Overlord of Chu!
Even my teacher Yu Ji, didn't he behave well in front of the King of Chu?
How dare you ask yourself to make conditions?
Wu Yue was quite aware of this.
You are rewarded by others, but if you take the initiative to ask for it, it would be a bit ungrateful.
"No problem, tell me, what do you want? Official position? Money? Beauty? Or just like your master, a Taoist temple?"
He was in a good mood and Xiang Ji didn't care much at all.
Just kidding, who hasn’t had some pursuit or ideal?
However, Xiang Ji thought so, but Wu Yue didn't dare. Faced with Xiang Ji's questions, Wu Yue just kept refusing.
"In that case, I will make the decision on my own as the lonely king.
From now on, you will be my medical officer in Chu and be granted a hundred fiefs."
You must know that at that time, even a military commander of Gao Lan's level only had about 300 fiefs. Xiang Ji could directly reward Wu Yue with 100 fiefs, which was already a huge reward.
"The villain Wu Yue thanks the Overlord for his grace!"
Sure enough, when Wu Yue heard Xiang Ji's reward for him, he was overjoyed.
The so-called medical officer is a doctor who has become an orthodox and well-established person and has officially entered the bureaucracy.
As for the enfeoffment? That is even more extraordinary.
This means that Wu Yue has the strength to form his own family.
A fief is equivalent to land. The so-called one hundred fief, that is to say, the population of one hundred households and their land belong to Wu Yue himself, and the money and grain they deliver also belong to Wu Yue.
Although this is equivalent to cultivating a clan in disguise, Xiang Ji has no choice.
The general environment of this era is like this. If you don't reward people with fiefs, who will work for you? Who will fight for you.
Therefore, Xiang Ji could only try to control the number of fiefdoms awarded, and then slowly use other methods to weaken the birth of the clan.
And just when Xiang Ji was giving out rewards, Lu Bu was furious in Wei County, not far from Guangzong.
"What!? What are you talking about? How dare Yuan Shang attack Huguan, the solitary king? Who gave him the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!?"
Yes, Yuan Shang, under Xu You's deception, had personally led the troops to Huguan.
Looking at the embarrassed messengers, Lu Bu could hardly believe what he heard.
Yuan Shang, that city guard slave, dared to sneak attack on the lonely king?
Damn it! Damn it!
That damn city guard slave, who gave him the courage? How dare he send troops against me, the lonely king?
You know, Lu Bu had completely ignored Yuan Shang before.
Facing Qin's Xiliang cavalry and Chu King Xiang Ji's army, these guys simply withdrew the entire city's defenses and could only defend Ye City tremblingly.
Although Lu Bu looked down upon this, he was still happy and relaxed.
After all, even if it is a fly, if it keeps coming out to harass you, it will make people feel very bored, right?
But he never thought that this fly that he didn't care about at all would actually take action at this critical moment and directly give him a fatal blow.
You know, Yuan Shang's place of dispatch was Huguan, which was the retreat route for the entire Xiliang army.
If Huguan is lost, the Xiliang army will really become water without a source and a tree without roots.
If that is the case, I am afraid that the morale of the entire Xiliang army will be lost. Then how can we talk about competing for hegemony in the north?
Although Lu Bu now also has nearly 100,000 soldiers in Bingzhou, most of them are left with the Chu army that has recently besieged Shangdang City.
Within Huguan, Lu Bu really didn't have many soldiers to guard him.
"Your Majesty, let's return to the army! Huguan cannot be lost!"
As a military advisor, Li Ru knew that he must stand up again.
Huguan is the gateway to Bingzhou. If Huguan is lost, Bingzhou will definitely not be protected. If Bingzhou is not protected, the Xiliang army will lose all its logistics.
Of course, logistics is not a big problem for the Xiliang army, which relies on war to support war.
The important thing is that if Huguan is lost and Bingzhou is lost, the Xiliang army will lose its way home.
Lu Bu naturally understood what Li Ru meant, but Lu Bu had no intention of retreating.
"No, Prince Gu and I have already agreed with Xiang Ji on tomorrow's battle formation. How can I back down now? If I say this, won't I be ridiculed by others?"
Obviously, for Lu Bu, his reputation is greater than anything else.
You must know that Lu Bu in this time and space only betrayed his master once, and his reputation far exceeded that of the so-called "house slave with three surnames" in history.
!!!
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Li Ru could hardly believe it. What was Lu Bu talking about? In this situation, he still wants to fight with the Chu State? Are you crazy?
So what if you win the battle? Could it be that you can still win the Chu Kingdom in one battle?
This is still good.
But what if you lose?
If the fighting formation is written down, the morale of the Xiliang army will really fall to the bottom.
At present, the Xiliang army does not know the situation at Huguan. If the news spreads, the morale of the army will be in chaos soon.
In the current situation, the only safe option is to return to Huguan to defeat Yuan Shang while the soldiers are still unaware of the situation.
"King!"
"No need to say more, I have made up my mind!"
When Li Ru tried to persuade him again, Lu Bu pushed him back.
Am I really a fool for being a lonely king? Don’t I understand the current situation?
But what do you, a scholar, know about battle formations?
Just kidding, as long as Gu Wang's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry destroys Chu's Cang Dragon Cavalry tomorrow, then all the disadvantages that Qin has lost before will be recovered.
When the time comes, whether it is returning troops to defend Huguan or advancing troops to defeat the State of Chu, will it not be left to the choice of the lonely king?
Obviously, because of his absolute confidence in his subordinate Bingzhou Langqi, Lu Bu chose a path that Li Ru couldn't understand.
This is completely a gambling game.
And the price of this shocking act is the future of the entire Xiliang army.
If you win, then everything will be easy to talk about.
But if the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is unexpectedly defeated, then the Xiliang army staying in Jizhou will really not see any future...
