Chapter 243: The Long Road Slows

If it weren't for the third uncle to stop it, the stars would have drawn a knife to cut people instead of whipping each other, for a horse whip that split the head and covered the face, no one showed grievances and resistance, for this time the military division was in a crisis, everyone had a sense of guilt in their hearts, if it weren't for the strength and adaptability of the military division, this time there would really be a big incident, once the military division has three long and two short, then don't say, everyone knows the consequences.

Lu Shi would not let Guo Tianxing hurt his brothers anyway, especially Chen Ce and Zhao Xing, these two people were actually dragged into the water by themselves, and they were wronged ruthlessly, but these two still endured it with their necks shrunk, and they didn't have the heart to resist at all.

Lu Shi hugged the rampaging Guo Tianxing several times, but Guo Tianxing brutally shook Lu Shi away and shouted: "Sir, don't care, how can I make them have a long memory after I don't fight these things?" At the beginning, they all promised me that they would die in front of Mr. if they said anything, look, is this all their promise? actually let Mr. be in danger, and they are all here one by one, especially you, Zhao Xing, you definitely rolled up in the dirt afterwards. Zhao Xing didn't explain, and lowered his head lower.

"By the way, you thing, what you said was good and bad, but I just learned that you were still saved by the military advisor, how can you still have a face-"

Lu Shi hurriedly interrupted Tianxing's words, "At that time, Zhao was excited to knock down an assassin who saved my life, or I would really die without a place to be buried." ”

"That, that's not going to work either." Guo Tianxing was already quite unreasonable: "Then he shouldn't pounce on the other party, but should pounce on Mr. to block the sword for Mr. to show his loyal guard." ”

Lu Shi grinned bitterly, then Zhao Xing was rolling on the ground at the time, where is there a chance to pounce on him to save me, this is Guo Tianxing cares too much and loses his rational judgment, and hurriedly looks at the third uncle with his eyes, this bastard still has to be managed by the third uncle, and he still has a Zhao Dahai to watch.

Zhao Dahai is very calm and not in a hurry at all, but he just points his spear at this and that, as long as a person answers not in his mind, it means that the sword is facing each other, and this is even more fatal.

Seeing that the brothers who came down from the front line pointed the finger at the brothers who stayed behind, glaring at them and puffing out their cheeks, a fight would occur if they were not careful, Lu Shi hurriedly changed the topic.

"Grand Commander, Deputy Commander, why did you return so quickly when you fought against the pursuers? Did all the officers and soldiers flee? ”

This is a military question and answer, everyone can't help but answer, so one by one they glared at the left-behind brothers who had become shrunken turtles, and Guo Tianxing smashed his fist on the wheel next to him, and said in frustration: "Don't mention it, this matter is full of pockets." ”

"What's going on?"

"We raised our troops and turned back, and we wanted to fight a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, but we didn't want those wretches to see us coming, so they turned around and fled into Suide County, and they couldn't hold out. I waited for the gentleman's order not to attack the city, and then the troops turned back, heyβ€”when did the border army become so clumsy? ”

"That's right." Lu Shi frowned and said in a low voice.

"Strategist, it seems that this border army is really scared by itself, but it seems that Shangfeng has an order to follow forward, maintain a distance from us, and send us to Weinan until something happens." Geng Kui expressed his opinion.

This view was immediately endorsed by the vast majority of the generals.

"But it's annoying that they always follow us back of the ass like flies, especially in the future, once we encounter a block in front, he will pounce and give us a front and back attack, and then we will be really dangerous and passive." Chen Ce stepped forward to remind everyone.

"That's the truth, but he's going to give you this hand, what should you do?" Zhao Dahai spread his hands depressedly, you can't help such an enemy.

"In any case, we must also knock out this tail, or we may be caught between the front and rear of the enemy at any moment." Lu Shi said firmly. "Since they are following us in the shadows, we will ambush him halfway."

"That's a good idea." Guo Tianxing slapped his thigh and agreed at that time.

"What the military advisor said is extremely true, we will now pretend that we have nothing to do with him, give up the attack on them and go south at full speed, and then leave a group of men and horses to lie in ambush on the main road, and when they gather the hedgehogs, we will attack him by surprise and annihilate this hateful tail in one fell swoop." Chen Ce clapped his hands and agreed with this proposal.

"Then this matter is decided, wait until I take the old battalion to continue south, and the Grand Commander of the Heavenly Star and Deputy Commander Zhao will choose favorable terrain near here to arrange ambushes and eliminate the pursuers."

"Okay."

Lu Shi thought for a while and made up his mind: "I will allocate all the brothers of the bow and arrow battalion to you, and you must completely annihilate or cripple the pursuers." ”

Lu Shi has really made a bloody investment, the bow and arrow battalion has been taken out as the last trump card in Lu Shi's hands, although Lu Shi's longbow is huge, but it also consumes a lot, especially its arrows are unique, they cannot be captured on the battlefield, and it is not easy to replenish during the march, so Lu Shi definitely does not want to take it out unless it is absolutely necessary.

Seeing Lu Shi throwing out the blood capital, everyone's expressions became more solemn.

"Brother Zhao Xing, you still have to work hard to supervise the sergeant's brother, you must closely monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers, and there must be no negligence."

"Subordinates obey."

Lu Shi looked at the sky, after this incident of the displaced people, the sky will be dark again, and it is no longer possible for the whole battalion to be opened, especially now, the enemy situation is strange, and it is even more unsafe to march at night, so he can only continue to rest and leave when the sky is bright.

"Commander, although the displaced people were mistakenly killed by us, there are still two or three thousand people who patrol the surrounding area and do not leave, and bitterly beg us to give us some porridge and rice to contain them for their lives. It's freezing on this day, they haven't had a grain of food down yet, and after a long time, someone will starve to death around us, and the mothers-in-law and aunts in the old camp can't bear it, how to deal with this matter when the military advisor sees it? The third uncle stepped forward in a whisper to remind Lu Shi.

It's really a headache, even if it was a manslaughter just now, it can't dispel their survival **, and he will never take them in.

"That's it, Chen Ce, you take a group of heavy soldiers, gather those homeless people, and gather them from a distance across our brigade, and the third uncle organizes the mother-in-law in the old camp to take out some rice and grain to boil some porridge and water for them, and at the same time emphasize once again that we can't accommodate their suffering."

"Okay." Third Uncle Chen Ce also knew that Sa's decision was correct, and now what he was fighting for in the south was speed, which made them waste a day in vain, and they couldn't afford to delay it.

"By the way, third uncle, when we leave early tomorrow morning, give each of them ten catties of food to save their lives."

The third uncle grinned, what you said lightly, ten catties per person, two or three thousand people is two or three hundred stones, plus this relief, then it went to our twenty percent of the grain reserves, but the thing knows that this is not good, but you still have to do it, you can't watch those people starve to death in front of your eyes, it seems that the military advisor said that this is a big conspiracy or it is really like this, this trick is too desperate.

Seeing the third uncle go away, Lu Shi greeted Tianxing Zhao Dahai and Geng Kui, and took advantage of the night to start looking around to check the terrain.

Between Qingjian and Yanchuan is a high mountain beam, the river cut out of the fissure and ravine, the only river valley is now occupied by Lu Shi, if the enemy's large army pursues must also follow this road, there are many ambushes along the way.

When the moonlight was sinking in the west, everyone chose the location, arranged the specific matters, and discussed the details.

Lu Shi stretched his waist, relaxed his muscles and bones, and said to the tired brothers around him: "All cheer up, this time we can't let the officers and soldiers retract anymore, only by solving the tail, we can deal with the enemy that may appear in front of us with peace of mind, the victory or defeat is in one move, and we must succeed in a battle." ”

Lu Shi said solemnly.

Guo Tianxing, Zhao Dahai and the others solemnly saluted together, and said in unison: "Please rest assured, Mr. (military advisor), we will definitely solve the worries of the army." ”

The sky has already seen dawn, rest is not to think about it anymore, back to the old camp, the people of the old camp have gotten up early, the women have finished cooking, everyone has been full, the baggage has been bundled, or loaded, or put on the back of pack horses and donkeys, the old people were once again helped into the empty cart, according to the cottage arrangement began to form a team, ready to continue to hurry.

Those homeless people were persuaded by the third uncle, and everyone distributed a certain amount of food, and arranged to stay in place or scatter to return to their hometowns, but more people were still reluctant to beg on the periphery, hoping to follow the army forward to find a way to survive.

There was no way, Chen Ce had no choice but to endure it, and used heavy troops to intercept it, and those homeless people watched the army of the people of Woniu Mountain gradually drift away, and in the face of the snow bright guns, the crying gradually became high-pitched, and finally reached earth-shattering.

Everyone is unbearable, but what else? The cottage is still weak, and he is still in the midst of displacement, how can he bring them again, there are too many homeless people in this Ming Dynasty, and they can't be contained, only after they gain a firm foothold, they can really solve the root of these poor people.

The road ahead is long, looking at the white figure of the lonely standing on a high place and constantly looking back at the homeless, everyone can't help but burst into tears.
