Chapter 78: Isn't it! Scared?
All in all, Wei Jiang is a bit of a wave!
At first, they only attacked small tribes, and they made gains again and again in the form of crushing.
Later, he may feel that the harvest of the small tribe is too small, and he has set his sights on a tribe with a population of about five or six thousand.
Wei Jiang didn't feel like he was wasting.
The last time the Wei army attacked, swept away the Baidi coalition army, and went deep into the territory of the Hu people and wreaked havoc for a while.
This brought a kind of inflated psychology to Wei Jiang, thinking that even if he only brought more than a thousand warriors, fighting a Hu tribe with a population of five or six thousand would be the same as playing.
The tribe was on the move.
This is also one of the factors that Wei Jiang thinks is very suitable for attacking.
What is more unexpected is that they launched an attack, and at first they did not encounter much resistance, but a large group of Hu people suddenly appeared behind.
At that time, Wei Jiang's troops had already become entangled with the Hu people.
The auxiliaries who remained behind were the first to be attacked by the Hu brigade that suddenly appeared, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the auxiliary team was scattered.
Wei Jiang, who felt that something was wrong, made the right choice, and constantly issued instructions to let the scattered troops gather to avoid being encircled again when entangled.
Lu Wu was listening to Wei Jiang talk about the battle with a gloomy face.
Wei Jiang made very few mistakes, and it can even be said that the choices to deal with them are at least good, otherwise they will not be able to come back.
It's just that Wei Jiang only brought back more than 700 warriors and more than 300 auxiliaries, and there were only less than 20 vehicles left, which was undoubtedly defeated.
After listening to Wei Jiang's explanation, Lu Wu asked, "What does Jiang Zi think?" β
Wei Jiang bit the root, looked at Han Wuji and Zhao Wu, turned his gaze back to Lu Wu, and said depressedly: "If you don't take revenge, how can you return home!" β
This answer is also to be expected.
The nobles talk about face, and they feel ashamed when the nations lose the war, and they are beaten so badly by the Hu people, if they don't retaliate and go back, how will they behave in the future?
"He has 20,000 people?" Han Wuji was very careful not to hit Wei Jiang, and said: "This is less than three thousand five, and there is also a harvest with the team." β
Qi Wen spoke out on behalf of Zhao Wu, and said in a dull voice: "The number of three thousand and five, the soldiers are not even, and the heart is not quiet, how to go to war?" β
They were a patchwork of makeshift armaments, and the quality of the samurai of many aristocratic families was worrying.
The important thing is that with such a big harvest, most people want to hurry home and share the fruits, and they must have no intention of fighting.
Lu Wu didn't feel honored at all when he saw Wei Jiang's entire face turn pale, and when he saw everyone staring at him.
"If the enemy comes, and the things no longer belong to us, what shall we do?" Lu Wu didn't wait for Wei Jiang's face to turn cloudy, and then said, "If the enemy cuts off my way back, what then?" β
Han Wuji immediately jumped up and shouted: "So, return quickly!" β
Wei Jiang was still staring at Lu Wu, unwilling to flee back in embarrassment.
Qi Wen, who had always represented Zhao Wu, showed a thoughtful expression.
"It's all right." Lu Wushou patted his thigh rhythmically and said, "The enemy will expect us to wait like this." β
The Hu people may be a little ignorant, maybe most of them are stupid, but not everyone is stupid.
They know who is wreaking havoc on the turf.
Judging by common sense, this group of nobles of the Jin Kingdom knew that the Hu people had gathered a large army, and they must have wanted to sneak back to the country as soon as possible for safety reasons.
LΓΌ Wu didn't know how the Hu people could assemble so quickly, thinking about whether it was a coincidence, or if they were discovered by marching along LΓΌliang Mountain.
Still, Zywin was right about one thing.
This team has been fighting for a month, and the fatigue is definitely not low, and the fact that there is so much loot also affects the desire to fight.
There are actually three choices before them.
Lu Wu calmly recounted them one by one.
The first one is to quickly clean up and use the fastest speed to pull out to the boundary of the Jin Kingdom.
In this way, there is a high probability of colliding with the Hu people's army, and it becomes a passive situation in which they are intercepted and have to fight.
The second is to run in a different direction instead of turning straight south.
At present, the area they are in is not the Great Plains, so be careful and have a chance not to be discovered, so they will leave the interception safely and return to the border of the Jin Kingdom.
The third is to hold on to the spot and send some warriors to ask for help.
There is a whole new army over there, and the Qin State is currently not stationed on the west bank of the river, and there is absolutely enough time to go north to relieve the siege and bring them back.
Several people listened to Lu Wu's three strategies.
Han Wuji chose two.
The reason why he chose this way is quite simple, it is not the team he commands that is cleaned up by Hu Ren, and he has played the name of an assault master, and it is the best choice to go back safely.
Qi Wen also chose the second.
This retainer of the Zhao family must first ensure the safety of Zhao Wu, as long as there can be more security, everything is a side detail.
Wei Jiang didn't want to choose any of them, what he wanted was to fight with Hu Ren, and he didn't want to go back and be embarrassed if he died in battle.
The children of the three big nobles had a disagreement, but they didn't quarrel.
They wouldn't let the small and medium-sized nobles in the team join in to vote, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while.
"There's another plan." Lu Wu said expressionlessly: "If the enemy gathers a crowd, the rear will be empty." We will discard the rest of the harvest and drive straight into it lightly, and we will get miraculous results. β
Wei Jiang immediately shouted: "Good! β
Han Wuji looked at Wei Jiang's eyes with a little resentment, and he also had a small opinion about Lu Wu.
It is not the old Wei family who dares to throw away the spoils of war, it is Wei Jiang who wants to earn face, and they have to bear the losses, and even have to risk their lives to save Wei Jiang's face?
Qi Wen was waiting for Lu Wu's explanation.
Lu Wu also had to explain.
Since the Hu people have gathered more than 20,000 young adults, there is no doubt that there will definitely not be much left to fight internally.
Retreating directly to the south, you will either be intercepted and blocked, or you will be covered and pursued all the way.
If they take a detour, they really can't know the area well, and the risks are unknown.
If you stick to it, it is tantamount to handing over your fate to the new army general Zhao Zhan and the new army Zuo Hezhi.
Lu Wu knew that Zhao Zhan was one of his father-in-law, but this old man had never expressed closeness, so he would not have any extravagant hopes.
There is a contradiction between the side branch of the Zhao family and the main sect of the Zhao family, but there are descendants of the Han family and the Wei family, and no matter how big the contradiction is, they dare not save it.
The key is also a new army.
Last time, Lu Wu had dealt with a wave of assassins, and guessed that the Yin clan was still going to make a move against Zhao Wu, so he really didn't dare to risk handing over his fate to Yin Zhi.
Although there are Han Wuji and Wei Jiang in addition to Zhao Wu here, Xin Zhi should not risk the anger of Han and Wei, but he is actually not afraid of Han and Wei.
Therefore, if you talk about everything, you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.
Right?
Lu Wu believed that the Han family, the Wei family and the Zhao family wanted to form an iron alliance, and he was the in-law of the three families, so he made his words clear.
He also elaborated on the benefits of directly raiding the Hu people's lair.
The Hu people's lair won't have much combat power left.
Since it's a nest, there must be a lot of things.
attacked the lair, can the Hu people who blocked the road come back to save them?
There is a time difference, and when the Hu brigade returns, they will already transfer with the loot, and they can take advantage of the time when the Hu brigade goes back to rescue and return to the territory of the Jin Kingdom unhindered.
Maybe, you can still grab a handful of Hu Ren's rear team baggage?
Lu Wu was talking.
A few people were looking straight in the eyes.
In these years, the war does not talk about conspiracy and trick......ery, no, it does not pursue "soldiers, sophistry", and plays with upright combat.
How could they have heard such a "shocking" strategy, and their expressions were dull when they heard it......
