Chapter 94: Secret Contact
The battle outside the camp tent deepened many people's admiration for Zhao Shuo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info They feel that following this prince who has little power, there will definitely be a day to emerge.
Zhao Shuo's big tent was also jubilant.
"Lord Wang, you are really powerful, you can repel the attack of the mob so easily. The last general is really admired, admired. Zhu Feng bowed and bowed.
"These are tentative attacks, and the real battle is yet to come." Zhao Shuo would not be complacent because of this small victory in front of him, on the contrary, from the tentative attack of the mob, his mood became even heavier.
"Lord Wang, don't we still have a secret weapon? No matter how rampant the mob is, as long as we want to leave, they should not be able to stop it. Sensing that Zhao Shuo's expression had changed, Feng Gong said openly.
"Lord Wang, the last general is still a little confused, isn't this Juzheng not going to attack ordinary people casually? Why, they left Dazhai and chased after us. Yan Wu thought about it, but still expressed the doubts in her heart.
Zhao Shuo glanced at everyone, now that Luo Yong has been taken care of by Ling Yun, the big tent is full of his own people, so Zhao Shuo doesn't plan to hide it.
"Think about it, yesterday the herald reported that there was a mob survey behind the troops. We walked quickly, fearing that the mob would catch up with us, so we crossed the river, but we were short on men and too little timber, so we finally drifted down the river. Here, too, there was a newly built pontoon bridge, and when we came ashore, we were too tired to think about it, so we set up camp, and this morning our scouts found the mob stationed on the hill. After everything was sorted out, Zhao Shuo looked around. You say, "What does that mean?" ā
"This~" Gonggong Feng wanted to speak and stopped.
"Say whatever you want, there are no outsiders here, everyone can talk freely." Zhao Shuo smiled at Gonggong Feng.
"Lord Wang, the old slave said it." Gonggong Feng bowed, and only after seeing Zhao Shuo nodding did he continue. "Lord Wang, according to the old slave, these mobs don't seem to want to be our enemies. The fact that this is happening now can only show that the luck of both sides is too bad. ā
After Gonggong Feng finished speaking, he was worried that he would say something wrong, so he lowered his head slightly.
"What about you?" Zhao Shuo looked at the others. "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Lord Wang, the last general has never been in contact with the mob, so I don't know what to say." Lin Feng scratched his head. "But according to what the prince just said, this wave of mobs is indeed strange enough."
"Lord Wang, the mob is hostile to the imperial court, and if there is an opportunity to attack, they will never let it go." Zhu Feng said. "They didn't attack at that time, but the opportunity was not ripe, and today, they felt that the time was ripe, so they launched an attack on our army, but they were beaten by the prince's little tricks."
"Chu Jiu, you can also talk about it." Zhao Shuo looked at Zhang Chujiu, who was standing on the very edge.
"Lord Wang." Zhang Chujiu bowed. "The last general doesn't know anything about marching and fighting, making plans, and analyzing the enemy's situation, if the prince really lets the last general say, the last general can only talk about the little things he encounters."
"There are no small things on the march." Zhao Shuo raised his hand. "Tell me something."
"Yes, lord." Zhang Chujiu said respectfully. "Along the way, it is not uncommon for us as surveyors to encounter hostile forces. But within the scope of Juzheng's control, before entering Lanxi County, we had never encountered it once. The same is true for leaving Lanxi County. When the troops encountered the Juzheng team, it turned out to be discovered by the soldiers behind the palace. The last general hasn't figured it out yet. ā
"Then what do you mean......" Zhao Shuo looked at Zhang Chujiu meaningfully.
"Lord Wang, although I don't know the reason, the last general agrees with the prince's point of view, that is, this Juzheng really doesn't want to be our enemy." Glancing at Zhu Feng, Zhang Chujiu said again. "Today they suddenly launched an attack on our army, there should be something unspeakable. If they really want to deal with us, they will not just make a tentative attack. ā
"Somewhat." Zhao Shuo nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Yan Wu, who had not yet spoken. "Yan Wu, don't you have anything to say?"
"The last general......" Yan Wu paused. The slave maid thought that the prince's analysis was very reasonable, and Juzheng was fighting against our army, which should be a helpless move. ā
Since Yan Wu was appointed as a second lieutenant by Zhao Shuo, he has always called himself the last general, while Feng Gonggong is still a self-proclaimed old slave. After a long period of ideological struggle, Yan Wu finally decided to use her previous self-proclaimed self-slave. Because of the self-proclaimed general, she felt that she was just Zhao Shuo's subordinate. The self-proclaimed slave maid invisibly shortened the distance with Zhao Shuo and gave her a sense of belonging.
Regarding the change of Yan Wu's title, Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly with a smile, which can be regarded as an affirmation.
"I know some of you think differently." Zhao Shuo glanced at Zhu Feng a few times alone. "Isn't it your fault, the world is unpredictable."
"Hehe......" Speaking of this, Zhao Shuo chuckled a few times, and his face became solemn. The mob is on the hill and could launch a new offensive against us at any moment. Although I think they were forced to do it, they did it anyway. Where there is a first, there may be a second. If we let it develop, once the other side attacks with all its troops, the only thing waiting for us is to escape, or to escape in the constant strangulation. That's not what I want to see. ā
"What are the prince's plans?" Gonggong Feng asked softly.
"I want to send someone to the mountains." Zhao Shuo said in a deep voice. "This person must have extraordinary courage, but also know how to read words and feelings, and most importantly, be flexible."
"Lord Wang, do you want to recruit these mobs?" Father-in-law Feng showed a stunned expression.
"Zhao'an?" Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly. "With our current strength, I'm afraid people won't take a fancy to us at all."
"That~" Father-in-law Feng opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"I want to hold them off first, don't fight, and wait until three days. Counting today, two days later, the reinforcements from the Wuzhou prefect should return, and if they don't want to fight, they should have a reason to leave. If we want to fight, with reinforcements, we also have a chance to win. Zhao Shuo said to everyone.
"Lord Wang, forgive the slave and maid for being too talkative." Yan Wu pursed her lips before she said. "That Steward Luo's words, the slave maid doesn't think it's worth believing."
"It's okay to fake it. I never believed him. Zhao Shuo said with a smile. If there are no reinforcements after three days, kill Rayong, and then tell Ju Zheng that the Wuzhou officers and soldiers have attacked his lair. I think for Ju Zheng, this reason is enough for him to take people away. ā
"What the prince said makes sense, then this candidate is very important, I don't know who the prince plans to let go?" Yan Wu suddenly realized.
"You~" Zhao Shuo pointed at Yan Wu. "Among these people, I think only you are the most suitable."
"Me?" Yan Wu was stunned.
"Yes, that's you." Zhao Shuo walked up to Yan Wu and patted her on the shoulder. "I believe you can do it."
