Lu Peng staggered along, his whole thinking had stopped, and the big white horse didn't need to be led, he followed listlessly, one person and one horse, just walking so lonely.

Xi Zhen, who was in a hurry to chase after her, saw it, quickly jumped off the war horse, and grabbed Lu Peng's hand, which was cold and cold, as if taken out of the ice cellar, and scared Xi Zhen to yell: "Lord, lord, what's wrong with you." ”

Lu Peng looked at Xi Zhen blankly, his eyes were dilated, his lips trembled, he suddenly let out a sigh, and then collapsed directly to the ground.

Xi Zhen was shocked, hugged him, and then jumped on the war horse with Lu Peng in his arms, and rushed directly to Zhao Quan's camp.

Zhao Quan was anxious about Lu Peng's safety, and was pacing anxiously outside the camp, if it weren't for the rout and he couldn't leave, he would have caught up with Xi Zhen a long time ago, but he was anxious, and he saw Xi Zhen rushing over with a person in his arms, the same person in Xi Zhen's arms, not Lu Peng or who? Immediately pounced, and asked what was wrong.

Xi Zhen ran into the big tent and said urgently: "The lord is so happy and sad that he was lost for a while, so he hurriedly prepared ginger soup and hot water." ”

put Lu Pengping on the mat, Xi Zhen rubbed his chest and beat his back, and poured warm ginger soup on Lu Peng, Lu Peng woke up slowly, and after waking up, there was a sad sigh.

Xi Zhen hurriedly asked about the cause and effect, Lu Peng sat up with difficulty, bowed his head and said with tears: "20,000 people, 20,000 living beings, 20,000 lives, were killed on the bank of the Dasang River." Then he grabbed his hair violently: "I suggested that the captives be taken back, I harmed them, 20,000 lives, and they died in my hands so easily, I am a sinner." ”

The three of them were completely silent, for a long time, Lu Peng's gaze slowly became firm, and he raised his head: "Hate me for not being able to return to the sky, hate me for not having power, hate me for not being able to save them." ”

Zhao Quan kowtowed his head deeply and whimpered: "Lord, with your words, those dead brothers will be at ease in the sky." ”

And with Zhao Quan's words, the countless soldiers who gathered outside the big tent didn't know when they fell to their knees together: "Lord-"

Lu Peng looked at Zhao Quan, and then at the concerned eyes outside the big tent, suddenly straightened up, and said loudly: "We don't have to be sad, we must realize our dreams, and we must let the people not live like a mustard." ”

When there were only three people left in the big tent again, Lu Peng stared at Zhao Quan and asked, "How many brothers have we gathered now?" ”

"More than two thousand one hundred."

Lu Peng nodded: "Do you know any hidden places in the local area to house our horses and supplies?" ”

Xi Zhen looked at Lu Peng suspiciously.

Lu Peng gritted his teeth and said: "After this time, I have seen through those bastards, if I bring my brothers back, I will definitely be killed by those bastards, so I am ready to hide these brothers, and then train them to become our future strength." ”

Zhao Quan's eyes immediately lit up, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The last general knows that there is a valley in the southeast ninety miles, called the Savage Valley, surrounded by mountains and inaccessible, and the valley is full of ancient trees, the plain is vast, and there is a big river that flows in the valley. It's a good place to hide our strengths. ”

"How big can a valley be?"

"There is absolutely no problem with 100,000 troops."

Lu Peng clapped his hands and applauded loudly: "Then choose there, you immediately start to organize the people and horses to carry materials into the valley, and then open up the wasteland, while training and tuntian, remember, I will send 50 soldiers who are familiar with my training methods to follow you into the valley, I will not give you too long, at most two years." In two years, I need you to go out of the valley with a large army, can you do that? ”

Zhao Quan solemnly arched his hand: "The end will definitely be done." ”

"As for the problem of grain and grass, don't worry, I will have a steady stream of grain and grass to help you. But for now, it's up to you to do it yourself. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, now we have some of the food we have, saving some, enough for us to eat for half a year, we are all from poor backgrounds, I will use this food to last until a year. After a year, it is estimated that we should have our own production. ”

Lu Peng shook his head: "The method of using half-starved wild vegetables as staple food is not advisable, what I need is a division of tigers and wolves, not a group of half-starved and half-dead flowers." You must ensure that our brother will give me more physical strength three times a day. ”

"The last will obey."

Then he faced Xi Zhen, "Are there any capable brothers in our brothers?" ”

Xi Zhen thought for a moment, and then replied: "There is a man named Wu Tao, who is calm and capable, although his martial arts are not clever, but he is good at financial management and planning, which can be of great use." ”

"Call in."

Xi Zhen hurriedly strode out, and after a while, he came in with a shrewd man, and when the man saw Lu Peng, he immediately knelt down and bowed to the lord.

Lu Peng stared at him with dead eyes, and said to him with a solemn expression: "I will send you to do things with General Zhao, remember to follow General Zhao." ”

This must be explained, otherwise this person will think that Lu Peng is sending himself to spy on Zhao Quan, and when the time comes, the two of them will disagree and intrigue with each other, and they will completely ruin their plans.

Zhao Quan gave up his hand excitedly, but he couldn't say anything, this is trust, a great trust.

Wu Tao raised his body and glanced at Zhao Quan, and then assured Lu Peng: "My subordinates understand that they must cooperate with General Zhao." ”

"You have two tasks, one is to assist General Zhao in managing the entire valley army, and the second thing is to use the training method I gave you to train these recruited brothers, I hope that in two years, I will see an invincible tiger and wolf army in the world."

"The subordinates will not disgrace their lives."

Then Lu Peng used the simplest language to explain what he imagined in his chest Zhao Quan and Wu Tao, and finally concluded: "Everything is still mainly based on the two of you, depending on the situation according to local conditions, and it changes at any time. ”

Then he looked at Xi Zhen: "You immediately go out to rectify our original townsmen, prepare some treasures, even if they are captured, and then go back to Youzhou with me, the time is urgent, so as not to have too many dreams at night, I am afraid that Guan Zhang will worry about my safety and find here, I don't want anyone else to know about my plan." ”
