Seeing that Qu Su finally understood what he meant, Qu Fang nodded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I know the situation of the Left Guard, although there are only 5,000 troops in the battalion, but with the defense of the camp, it should hold out until I lead the army back to help, there is no problem. The key is not only to be able to repel the Chen army this time, but also to be able to preserve the strength of the Left Guard Army to the greatest extent possible, so that in the follow-up siege, we can ensure the superior strength of our Great Chu Army. ”

"The general wants me to ask for help?" Qu Xu asked tentatively, she can be a pioneer lieutenant is naturally not stupid, and she can understand it at all.

"Not bad!" A hint of appreciation flashed in Qu Bian's eyes.

"But since that Qi Zilan plans to take this opportunity to consume the Left Guards, how can she allow other guards to come to support, presumably she has already ordered all the armies to hold their respective camps and not go out at will." Qu Xu said the key point, although he had already left the high platform at this moment, he seemed to have ears to the wind, and he took all the words of Qi Zilan into his ears.

"So, this time I chose to take a long detour back to the camp, not through the south gate, but through the north gate." Qu Bin smiled slightly.

"Ah, I see. The south gate is Zhang Er's avant-garde army, she has never dealt with us, but General Xiong of the north gate is a friend of our Qu clan. Qu Su suddenly realized. Just now she was still wondering why the second aunt wanted to lead her and her people to take a long detour through the north gate, but now it seems that her second aunt has already expected this.

"Not bad! The Zhang family has always been closer to the royal family, if Qi Zilan really suppresses my Qu clan, it will be the turn of the bear clan next, her lips are dead and her teeth are cold, she will not understand this truth, and I have already had an agreement with Xiong Wan to support each other. This time, my Qu tribe was in crisis, and she naturally couldn't stand idly by. ”

"In that case, do you want me to do it?"

"You are there, she can also do her best, besides, you are the vanguard deputy general of the Left Guard, it will be much easier to communicate between the two armies with you."

"Can't you invite someone else? The general also said, I am the vanguard deputy general, and I want to charge ahead. Qu Su asked tentatively. Rather than doing such a boring thing, she wanted to charge with Qu Fang, and that pleasure was one of the few things that fascinated her except for the horses in her heart.

"The military order is like a mountain, let you go! How much nonsense. Qu Bin glanced at Yu Xin, who was following behind Qu Xu, and scolded.

"The last general obeys!" Qu Su stuck out his tongue in fright, and hurriedly responded. The second aunt is very frightened when she is angry.

"General Gongsun, it stands to reason that you are already the adjutant general of the vanguard battalion, not the soldier of the Left Guard, do you plan to follow me back to the camp for rescue, or go back to the Chinese army." After giving the command, Qu Bin turned his head to look at Gongsun Dao.

Gongsun, like Yu Xin, both traveled with the Left Guard. Yu Xin is the wife of the Left Guard's personal entourage, and she naturally has to follow Qu Xu in the army, which is a must, otherwise it will be a violation of military regulations. Gongsun is more special, because she has been promoted to the deputy general of the pioneer battalion by Qi Zilan in public, but the appointment register and token are not ready so quickly, so strictly speaking, she can't go to the pioneer camp to take office.

Of course, Qu Fang hoped that at such a critical moment, there would be someone as skilled as Gongsun to help the Zuo Weijun tide over the difficulties, and he looked at Gongsun with eagerness in his eyes.

"The letter of appointment has not yet been obtained, so naturally I can't go to the pioneer camp. I'd better go with Yu Xin. Although Gongsun did not return to the camp, he did not follow her to rescue the Left Guards. Gongsun also has her own considerations, and now that the war is coming, she is very worried about her heart, so she naturally wants to protect him by his side.

"That's fine! Then please. A trace of disappointment flashed in Qu Fang's eyes, but even though he disappeared, he stood up slightly on the horse, and solemnly hugged his fists towards the three of them.

"The last general will definitely live up to expectations!" Qu Su clenched his fists and saluted loudly.

Gongsun and Yu Xin are also solemn nods. The two of them and Elder Xu can gain a foothold in the army, among which the help of Qu Zi and Qu Fang is indispensable, neither of them is ungrateful, and they value affection and righteousness, especially Yu Xin, who is willing to dig out his heart and lungs to people at every turn, so he will naturally not stand by at this time.

As he spoke, the reinforcements arrived at the fork in the road, and then the road to the left led to the camp of the rear guard, and the road that went straight was to the camp of the left guard, that is, the west gate of Wanqiu City.

The three of them left the brigade and stood at the intersection of the avenue, watching the army rush away. The three of them had to wait for Xiong to return to camp.

Qu Xu and the three of them discussed for a while, and they didn't go to the right guard camp to wait, but only stood at the intersection and waited for Xiong Wan to lead the guards to return to the camp, and directly implored her to lead the troops to rescue the left guards.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw from a distance that the rearguard army was in a strict formation, and they were coming towards the intersection in an orderly manner.

Qu Xu didn't dare to be arrogant, and hurriedly drove forward to meet him.

"General Bear!"

Qu Xu arrived in front of him, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted. Yu Xin and the others are naturally no exception.

"Now that the war is tight, there is no need to talk about so many rules." Xiong Wan's face was full of sorrow, and he motioned for the three of them to get on their horses and talk.

"General Xiong, it's my second aunt..."Qu Xu got on the horse, and couldn't wait to ask Xiong Wan to send troops to help.

"Well, there has been an agreement between the general and me for a long time, so naturally I can't sit idly by." Xiong Wan raised his hand to stop Qu Xu from finishing his words, and frowned.

"General Xiong is righteous, the last general will thank me for my second aunt and the soldiers of the Left Guard!" Qu Xu hurriedly turned over and dismounted again. She has been observing Xiong Wan's expression, seeing that he has always been melancholy, and was interrupted by him just now, thinking that Xiong Wan didn't want to help, her heart has been hanging, and at this time she listened to Xiong Wan's affirmative reply, and then she put her mind at ease.

"Don't be too happy." Xiong Wan was a little worried, and when he saw that Qu Xu was puzzled, he continued to explain: "After you left just now, the marshal specially ordered all troops to return to the camp for defense, and not to send troops without authorization, which obviously meant to sit back and watch the destruction of the Left Guard. ”

"General Bear!" Qu Xu was shocked, thinking that Xiong Wan just promised to help, but refused to send troops.

"Don't worry! The Qu Xiong family has always been good friends, so naturally I will not break the contract, let alone fool the general. Besides, I still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. I'm just worried that this time I have repelled the Chen army, but you and I will lose all the left and rear guards, and at that time, the general and I, as well as the children of the Qu Xiong clan in the army, I am afraid that they will be kneaded by Mi Zilan. When Xiong Wan said that he was indignant, he couldn't care about verbal respect.

"How dare she do this, even if our Xiong Qu clan has lost all the troops on this expedition, but for our Qu Xiong and the two clans, it will only suffer a slight loss of strength, and the lord of the country will definitely punish her at that time."

"What you say is not unreasonable. But have you ever thought that she is a marshal, and she has the right to make decisions on the spot in the army, and the military intelligence report is also in her hands, if the second guard army in the left rear is destroyed, then she can naturally put the blame on the general and me in the court, only saying that the general's defense is not effective, and I sent troops without authorization, which led to this big loss, and at that time, I am afraid that she is not only innocent, but the Qu Xiong clan will also bear the blame of the court. ”

Xiong finished in a word. If Qi Zilan was present, she would definitely be surprised, and she would kill the bear as soon as possible.

"Ah, why is she so reversing black and white, we can tell the true situation to the lord of the country through the people in the court."

"It's useless. The Chen army is 30,000, and our rear guard army, plus the left guard army, is only 20,000 when it is full, and it is not a problem to repel the Chen army who still has concerns about defending the city, but the strength of the left and rear two guard armies is also inevitable. ”

"However, it was she who ordered the rescue not to be allowed, if the guards rescued in time, the left and rear two guards would naturally not lose too much in strength, and the responsibility should lie with her." Qu Su couldn't figure it out.

"The winner is king, and the loser is the villain, don't you know this truth? Who dares to say on the battlefield that whose decision must be correct, only if the result is good after the fact, then it is good, otherwise it will be a defeat. Xiong Wan shook his head, Qu Xu thought that it was too simple.

"So what are we going to do?" Qu Xu was a little dazed and a little heartbroken, he didn't expect that now the Left and Rear Second Guards and Qu Xiong clans would fall into such a dead place, why would there be those intrigues in the army.
