Text Chapter 9 Rush to the Rescue
"What's going on up ahead?"
The army drove to the vicinity of Tanzhou, and there was a sudden commotion in front, and Wu Mourning, who was about to take Zhu Li out to cultivate, asked Pang Honggu next to him in surprise.
Pang Honggu hugged Zhu Ning'er and nodded imperceptibly to a big man next to the cart, the big man understood, and hurriedly ran towards the front of the army, it should be to inquire about the news.
Sure enough, the big man hurriedly ran back, and when he was still five or six meters away from Pang Honggu, he made a "bang", knelt on one knee, and reported: "Captain Pang Du, General Qin Yan was sniped on the outskirts of Tanzhou, and the army suffered heavy losses. ”
"Sniped?" When Pang Honggu heard this, her pretty face was solemn, extremely cold, and she gritted her teeth and said: "This bastard who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, I will hand over the eight hundred elites under my command to him to lead, together with the elite of the grass army, he has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and he actually sent back this news, why didn't he die, how could he still have the face to ask for reinforcements." ”
After a while, Pang Honggu slowly calmed down her undulating chest, looked at the big man with a solemn face, and said sharply: "What's going on, can you tell me in detail?" ”
Anger can't solve the problem, since Qin Yan has been defeated, then the next thing to consider is how to remedy it, and it depends on them, the high-level of the reserve army, to find a way.
"Back to the captain, the imperial court appointed Gao Biao as the envoy of the town and navy, and the troops were divided into two ways, sniping at the general and us respectively. The subordinates believed that since General Qin Yan had been sniped, General Chongtian's side should not be optimistic. The majestic man didn't care about Pang Honggu's anger, and still speculated calmly.
"Gao Yu?" When Wu Mourning heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered softly.
"Why, Captain Wu knows about this person?" Pang Honggu frowned when she heard Dahan's reply, and thought hard about a good plan, and suddenly heard Wu Mourning's voice, so she looked back at him.
Wu Mourning glanced at her, looking a little dissatisfied, this woman, in order to avenge her father, as long as it is against the forces of the Tang Dynasty, she will support it unconditionally.
When Qin Yan was the striker, he persuaded Pang Honggu not to hand over the elite under his command to Qin Yan, this is a thug-born hooligan who can't lead troops at all, and can only fight with the wind. Although Pang Honggu hesitated for a long time at that time, she finally handed over half of the elite to Qin Yan, now it's okay, right?
But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to complain, Wu Mourning had no choice but to speak: "Gao Yu, born in the army, the former envoy of the Xichuan Festival, the fierce general under his command is like a cloud, and the current Jingnan Jiedu envoy guards Jingzhou." ”
"He is now ordered to wave his army south from Jingzhou, rush into the land of Liangguang before us, and immediately turn around and swing a blow, I am afraid that the comer is not good, he has a large number of capable people, and the fierce generals are like rain, like Liang Zhang, Gao Xun, Chen Hui, Feng Shou, Yao Guili and others, are not ordinary people."
"Captain Wu is right, the one who defeated General Qin Yan was Liang Zhang, and he also had a deputy general, named Zhang Lan, General Qin Yan as the vanguard, Bing Feng pointed out, intended to break through Tanzhou, but I didn't expect Liang Zhang to defend himself at all, but in the suburbs of Tanzhou and General Qin Yan face-to-face field battle, the incident happened suddenly, General Qin Yan was forced to fight, when the army was stalemate, Zhang Lan suddenly attacked from behind, under the front and back attacks, in one fell swoop, defeated General Qin Yan's department." The strong man listened to Wu's words and hurriedly echoed.
"Then what should we do now, do we want to support Qin Yan?" Pang Honggu looked at Wu Mourning with some shame, if he had listened to him earlier, and had not entrusted the elite to Qin Yan, the situation might not have been like this, Qin Yan was also a partial general no matter what he said, as a pioneer, he almost took away nearly half of the elite, and now that he was defeated, the grass army was worried.
Wu Mourning glanced at her, thought for a while, and immediately said: "For today's plan, only by advancing and retreating openly can we protect ourselves." ”
"What does it mean?" Pang Honggu was very puzzled, could it be that Wu Mourning was no longer optimistic about going south and wanted to retreat to the north?
Although she had this suspicion, she still looked at Wu Mourning with a blank face, hoping that he would explain.
Wu Mian glanced at him and said patiently: "Since one Liang Zhang let us plant a big heel, then the general of the sky, I'm afraid there is a lot of pressure all the way." ”
"If what I expected is not bad, what General Chongtian is facing must be an army that personally supervises the battle with high frequency, plus so many fierce generals under his command to assist, it is already difficult for General Chongtian to go south, maybe it won't be long before we receive an order to go north."
"In order to reduce our losses, we can't continue to follow Bi Shiduo and Qin Yan, the two fools, Pang Niangzi, if you believe me, you will hand over the other half of the elite under your command to me, and I will take them to pretend to rush to Qin Yan's aid, you take the opportunity to evacuate the women and children in the reserve army, and then immediately take your cronies, and the light car Jane will march eastward, and we will meet in Xinzhou, how about it?" (Shinshu: in the northeast corner of Jiangxi, near Zhejiang)
"Why did you choose to meet in Shinshu?" Pang Honggu was a little puzzled
"When it was decided to go south, General Chongtian set out from southern Fujian and led the army to enter Jianzhou, since Gao Biao wanted to snipe them, he would inevitably meet the head-on attack, forcing General Chongtian to return the same way, Xinzhou is adjacent to southern Fujian, we retreated to Xinzhou in the northeast direction, you can pay attention to the battle situation, if things can be done, we will join forces with General Chongtian and continue to fight." Wu Mian's expression was solemn and he looked very determined, but the implication of his words was also obvious, that is, if he couldn't do anything, he wouldn't care about the life or death of the general who rushed to the sky.
After listening to Wu Mourning's analysis, Pang Honggu's beautiful eyes were condensed, and she looked at him directly, and after three or four seconds, she glanced at Zhu Li with her eyes, and then made up her mind and said resolutely: "Okay, Captain Wu, we'll see you in Xinzhou, I'll take Ning'er Xiaoniang to go first, and we'll wait for you in Xinzhou." ”
Pang Honggu wants to leave, she wants to take her sister with her, Zhu Li is naturally unwilling, she wants her sister to come over immediately, he will never allow her sister to leave her sight, if there is an accident, who will pity this little girl who has no relatives and no reason, I am afraid that only as a brother is the person who cares the most.
However, before he could speak, Wu Mourning's big hand slapped him heavily on the shoulder, slapping him so hard that he almost fell to the ground. ”
Then, without waiting for Zhu Li to object, he grabbed Zhu Li and walked towards the big tent behind him, as soon as he entered the big tent, Wu Mourning turned his head, forced his eyes to look at Zhu Li, and said menacingly: "As your master, do you say I will harm you?" ”
When Zhu Li heard this, he was stunned for a moment, not worried about his sister's mood, somehow, with Wu Mourning's question, it was a lot easier, and even the suffocating anger dissipated a lot, but he still looked at Wu Mourning suspiciously, hoping that Wu Mourning could give him an explanation.
"Zhu Li, there is no such thing as pie falling from the sky, although Pang Honggu and I get along well, but we opened our mouths to ask for her last support, her heart is actually more worried than us, but, in view of the trust between each other, she is not easy to refuse, let alone refuse, she has already been wrong once, this time, she can't be wrong again, leaving your sister as a hostage is her last bottom line, so I can't shirk it, do you understand?" Wu Dao saw that Zhu Li was quieter, so he said seriously.
"But master, we can obviously go with Pang Duwei, why should we be separated, besides, Ning'er is so small, in case ......" Zhu Li was puzzled, but it was self-evident, he didn't believe that Pang Honggu would love Zhu Ning'er as much as he did.
"Don't worry about Ning Er's safety, Pang Honggu's personal guards have a total of eight people, they all have a good relationship with me, you are my only disciple, Ning Er is your own sister, they naturally know the importance of Ning Er. As for why we didn't go with Miss Pang, why do you say? Wu Mian'an first stabilized Zhu Li, and then did not answer the rhetorical question, looking at him with burning eyes, "It's okay, it's okay to say something wrong." ”
Zhu Li understood, this was Wu Mourning testing himself, so he had to let go of his complicated feelings, frowned and pondered, and after a while, he spoke up: "Someone must attract the attention of the enemy in order to let Pang Duwei and them get out safely, is this the reason?" ”
"Even if no one leads Liang Zhang's army, if I leave with the Pang family's lady, I can leave, so this is not the real reason." Wu Mian didn't save face for him at all, and said bluntly.
Zhu Li frowned, Wu Mourning Heavenly King really didn't blow it out, this thought is really elusive, after a while, Zhu Li's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said: "The master wants to train me?" ”
"Hmph, do you know now, of course, this is only incidental, the more important reason is that our master and apprentice must have their own power, and survive on a woman's family, not by a husband." Wu Dao looked at Zhu Li and sighed loudly.
"In fact, from the very beginning, I expected that this time I went south, the army of the West Road, would inevitably be defeated, but for some reason, I had to take a ride with Miss Pang, who is also a poor good woman."
"Isn't it curious, since I already expected that this trip to the south would be defeated, why did I insist on taking a journey? Because I have my own plans. ”
"As a martial artist, I also have the heart to serve the country, but I don't have money, I can't recruit soldiers, I can't do big things, let me be someone else's subordinate, I don't look down on those people at all, so I only have to plan by myself, after the army is defeated, what is the most?" Wu Mian looked at Zhu Li and asked suddenly.
Zhu Li was stunned for a moment, and instinctively blurted out: "Of course it's a rout soldier." ”
"Yes, I borrowed the soldier Pang Niangzi, with her elite as a guide, gathered the defeated soldiers, and then took advantage of the chaos to loot some grain and grass, then these defeated soldiers will become our team, to be exact, it is your team, to be my disciple, and born in troubled times, you don't have the illusion of being alone, I will never allow it."
