……………………………………………………………………………………
Frightened, Lu Zhe subconsciously blocked with his arms and quickly retreated, and what he saw in his eyes was two people whose arms were obviously tied and almost jumped forward.
It was too late, and when the two flying people were about to approach, the captain of the armor sergeant who was walking on Lu Zhe's right kicked forward with his right foot, grabbed the long sword with the scabbard with both hands and slapped it at another figure in mid-air.
When Lu Zhe retreated, he bumped into the person behind him, his eyes widened and he finished blocking and dodging, and the two people who rushed in had already been kicked and slapped away by the captain of the armor.
Many of the people in the tent were not slow to react, they had almost just fallen to the ground when the two assassins had already run up and held down, and some of the generals were even beaten with fists and feet.
Meng San and Zhao Ping took a slow beat to protect Lu Zhe in the middle, and they scanned everything around them with frightened or vigilant eyes, and they were about to retreat outside around Lu Zhe.
With a stunned expression, Lu Zhe was squeezed and looked back at the captain of the armor, but saw that the expression on the captain's face was a little confused.
"Stop, stop!" What's the use of quitting and going, where are they going to kill or not? Lu Zhe looked at the captain of the armor sergeant, and then at the officers in the tent, and then stopped his gaze on the two assassins who were pressed down: "These two are assassins?" ”
There was a little bit of knowingly asking, but Lu Zhe, who was stable and good-hearted, could only speak like this. He was so frightened that his mind was enlightened, and everything showed that the officers, including the captain of the armor, clearly did not regard him as a murderer. made him suspect that Song Bo did not die at all in the assassination.
The captain of the armor sergeant was the leader of the personal army of General Tu Sui, although his official position was lower than that of the many five hundred lords present. However, because of his special status, he is the leader. He looked at the assassin who was still struggling, and then at Lu Zhe, who had a very calm expression. It seems that there is something that makes sense.
"It's strange, they're ......," said the captain hesitantly, "Why did the assassins react so much as soon as the Duke came in?" ”
The assassin was not sent by Lu Zhe at all, and he didn't ask in a voice at all: "How can this military marquis know, but you ...... wait?"
All the officers looked at Lu Zhe, who was questioning.
Lu Zhe glanced at these officers and said angrily: "It's not good to take care of the two bound assassins, what are you doing to eat!?" ”
The words were ugly, many officers smiled, and the captain of the sergeant saluted for the first time: "The incident happened suddenly. Please don't blame the military marquis. ”
With a look of surprise and uncertainty appropriately, Lu Zhe waited for them to make the next explanation.
The captain of the armor said: "The assassin is a criminal citizen of the Six Kingdoms, and the military marquis has presided over the affairs of Yiling, so he really can't clear the suspicion. The Marquis came back shortly after the assassination, and we had no choice but to make a temptation. ”
It's a bit far-fetched, but Lu Zhe doesn't want to pursue it anymore, and he doesn't realize that the title of the captain of the armor has changed, so he said straightforwardly: "Why don't you quickly lead me to see the captain!" ”
Seeing that Lu Zhe didn't seem to know that Captain Lu Dao had been assassinated, the Chinese officer's expression was unpretentious and natural. The only doubts in my heart seemed to disappear, and one by one I showed sad expressions.
The captain of the armor team looked at the assassin who was still struggling, and then looked at Lu Zhe, whose shoulder was bleeding again, and he arched his hand and said, "I can't hide it. Captain Song and the marquis had already died in the assassination. ”
Where did Lu Zhe, who thought he was still tempting, believe it: "Joke! If the Great Qin General was so easily assassinated, how could he destroy the Six Kingdoms and unify the world! ”
A few five hundred lords, you look at me, I look at you, showing embarrassed and ashamed expressions, and they all knelt down to plead guilty.
Lu Zhe, who was a little stunned by this scene, didn't speak yet. The captain of the armor sergeant over there said abruptly: "Marquis, no matter where you learned the news of the assassination of Captain Lu Dao. That's not a rumor, it's true. ”
The peak loop turned or something, and it was completely impossible to describe Lu Zhe's mood at the moment.
The captain of the armor sergeant, as Tu Sui's personal army, will not kneel down like those five hundred lords to plead guilty. He just maintained the posture of bowing his hand: "The assassin came to give orders with the pretense of holding the Ren Huan token, Daqin has never recognized the card but not the person, how would he know that the assassin of the Dao Dao actually has the token of the second handsome?" That's not deliberately guarded. Taking advantage of the fact that Captain Song was discussing the military situation with many military marquis, the assassin suddenly summoned his companions to assassinate him, which was really unexpected, and only then did the assassin succeed. ”
Hearing the news for the first time, Lu Zhe was a little stupid. He had heard the version that the Assassin was impersonating himself, but now it was the Assassin posing as a herald with the token of Renhuan. And it seems that the captain of the armor called Ren Huan's name directly, and the attitude he showed was clearly that the assassin was sent by Ren Huan?
Lu Zhe subconsciously looked at Xu Shuang, the person who reported the wrong information and made him frightened.
Xu Shuang also looked dumbfounded, he could swear that he was telling the truth about the information he had discovered. Now he saw Lu Zhe looking at himself, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, and was stared at by Lu Zhe's fierce eyes for a while and almost cried.
Since he had received the wrong information, Lu Zhe could only ask casually: "Did the assassin explain who was the mastermind?" ”
The officers lowered their heads to the ground in even greater shame.
The captain of the armor was also a little embarrassed: "I have been tortured strictly, but the assassin's mouth is too hard." ”
Although I don't know how Xu Shuang made a wrong report, it is certain that someone really shouted like that, otherwise Xu Shuang would never dare to fabricate such a sentence.
Lu Zhe couldn't open his mouth to ask those questions, he could only divert the topic: "Who is in charge now?" ”
The officers who had originally lowered their heads finally raised their heads, and they looked at Lu Zhe who was speaking.
The captain of the sergeant said: "The captain, including several military marquis, has been killed in the assassination, and the 'head of the army' was supposed to be the chief officer. But the military marquis is here, according to the military law of the Great Qin, the 'Zhangzuo' is a civilian, and the military attache with a higher rank has arrived, and the 'Zhangzuo' should resume the duties of auxiliary, so you are now the main general. ”
Yan Bi was overjoyed and ecstatic when he heard those words. He subconsciously looked at Lu Zhe, but he was thinking in his heart: "It seems that there are also masters in the clan and tribe who are good at scheming?" Apparently his hope has come true. But the person who added the deployment to the plan was more clever than him.
Coming with a nervous mood, Lu Zhe didn't think that he would get military power or anything. It's just trying to get through the crisis. Now, when he heard that he had become the commander of this 5,000-strong team, he didn't seem to react.
The commander was the head of the army in charge of clerical and logistical affairs, and there was such a civilian official in every army that was levied, and this was the position of the army on the march in the territory. In the border army, it is the long history that manages the documents and logistics.
Lu Zhe motioned for the five hundred lords to get up. He digested the news and waved his hand to escort the two Assassins down, and before he could speak, someone outside was shouting to see him. Suppressing what he wanted to say for a moment, he let the people outside in.
As soon as the visitor entered the tent, he reported: "Scout report." I found that many Baiyue people were approaching along the river! ”
Is this a rainy day?
When Lu Zhe heard the report, he didn't care about anything else, and asked, "How many Baiyue people are approaching?" ”
People come and go: "There should be more than 20,000!" ”
Twenty thousand!?
The officers were shocked by this news and looked eagerly at Lu Zhe, who seemed to have become the main general.
The captain of the sergeant was also shocked by this news, and he could no longer pursue the doubts in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "Marquis, when the general came, he instructed Captain Song to ask your opinion more before making a judgment on the situation, but when I heard that the captain did not discuss with you?" ”
To say this at this time? Lu Zhe looked over puzzled. But the other five hundred lords were angry.
These five hundred lords are estimated to be officers who have followed Song Bo for a long time, and now that Song Bo is dead, some people criticize him, which is really annoying. If it weren't for the scruples, the captain of the armor was the leader of Tu Sui's own soldiers. At this time, I don't know how these five hundred lords will react.
Thinking that the deceased should be defended, Lu Zhe said euphemistically: "Hmm? The lieutenant was busy with military affairs, and the marquis did not have a chance to tell him. ”
Hearing this, sure enough, several five hundred lords looked at Lu Zhe gratefully. Then he glared at the captain with an angry gaze.
The captain of the armor was in a hurry and couldn't care about the angry eyes of the five hundred lords: "I want to say that the military marquis understands the terrain of Yiling, and has already reorganized 20,000 soldiers. Now the Yiling rebellion. There are 20,000 Baiyue people approaching, I don't know what way the military marquis of Lu Dao can deal with it? ”
There was a deep groan. Lu Zhe did not say how to deal with it, but asked: "How many soldiers are there in this school?" Is it all in one place now? ”
Hearing the news, Zhangzuo, who rushed to the military tent, entered the military tent just to hear the question, the middle-aged man glanced at Lu Zhe, surprised how he was so young, and replied: "There are three thousand and five soldiers, and the captain has assigned one thousand to guard the other road to Jiangling, and now there are 1,500 soldiers and horses in the battalion that can be mobilized." ”
Does this data sound strange? Lu Zhe looked at the person who spoke, but saw that the middle-aged man was wearing bronze armor, but from the armor, it could only be seen that the title could not identify the official position.
The middle-aged man gave his hand: "The position is the head of the school's soldiers and horses." ”
Lu Zhe returned the salute: "Where are the 1,000 soldiers and horses?" ”
Ma Yan said: "The incident happened suddenly, and I sent a thousand soldiers and horses to monitor the direction of Yiling. ”
What the? Spying on Yiling? Isn't that spying on Lu Zhe! But why didn't you meet Lu when you came?
Lu Zhe saw that he said it openly, and he didn't see Ma Yan bluntly say that he had any scruples about spying on himself, and thought: "This guy is either an upright and unyielding person, or an idiot who doesn't know how to shy away." ”
Now, though, isn't the time.
Lu Zhe walked to the position before the chief case and looked around at the officers in the tent.
These officers thought that Lu Zhe was going to go to the main seat and sit down! Seeing Lu Zhe walking over and just standing in front of the long case, he felt that this military marquis who he had never seen was not arrogant because he was the main general, and the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared before he rose.
"Now I'm the main general!?" As if to confirm and reiterate, Lu Zhe saw that no one objected, took out an arrow from the long case in his hand, and said again: "Order, a thousand soldiers and horses on the other road will immediately come to the barracks to join the army; All the soldiers in the camp immediately assembled; Zhangzuo is responsible for the centralized loading of weapons and military rations. ”
The order was clear, and all the officers could also know the intention of the order, and responded in unison: "Hey! ”
Lu Zhe looked at the officers who were on order, "Let's do something!" Waiting for the five hundred lords in the tent to come out, he asked the captain of the armor: "The captain was stabbed to death, and the rest of the marquis ......?" ”
The captain replied, "Four of the five marquis were killed on the spot, and the remaining marquis was seriously wounded and died. ”
Confirmed again. Lu Zhe didn't know what it was like to be in his heart, he sighed: "The army has a routine. A high-ranking person takes over the command? ”
The rules of the Qin army were clear, and the captain of the armor saw that Lu Zhe did not have the consciousness of the main general. I thought to myself: "Although there are still doubts, maybe the assassination really has nothing to do with him?" But he said: "That's true, now you are the main general, please take your due responsibility and lead the army to deal with the upcoming hundred off-road people!" ”
Lu Zhe didn't know if the Zheng clan and the Zhao clan were leading the army to Jiangling, would they care if there were Baiyue people attacking?
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Zhe felt that it was better not to tell the news that the Zheng clan and the Zhao clan were going to attack Jiangling first, he was now worried about the upcoming attack on the Baiyue people.
"Gongwei, Zhao Ping!" End of roll call. Lu Zhe said: "The two of you will immediately return to the military camp in Yiling to pass on my orders!" ”
The two men hurriedly listened.
Lu Zhe's tone was serious: "Order all the chief and deputy leaders to gather the soldiers and return to the camp, and immediately lead people to strengthen the camp!" ”
Military orders should be concise, and orders cannot be given in a series of words.
The two surrendered.
This time, the co-lieutenant should be "hey" instead of "no".
Lu Zhe withdrew his gaze from the backs of the two people who left, looked left and right in the tent, he didn't see the map, and said strangely: "What about the map?" ”
The captain of the armor probably didn't know if it wasn't in the first place or was destroyed in the assassination, and he showed an expression of ignorance.
Without a military map to observe, Lu Zhe could only take another method: "Find the scout officer of this school!" ”
The tent, including the captain of the armor sergeant, were all "outsiders", and Lu Zhe immediately frowned when he saw that no one could act as a herald.
The most important thing for an army is to be able to form a chain of transmission of military orders. Lu Zhe was very unexpectedly appointed as the chief general, and it can be said that he did not know any officer at all.
"Where's the herald of this school?!"
“…… He's dead. ”
"Then get the second-level herald!"
"I'm going?"
"Of course you go!"
Seeing Lu Zhe's resolute attitude, the captain of the armor may be secretly scolding in his heart, "The dignified general personally led the army, and he actually asked me to be an errand runner." But it's also out of the way to call people.
Waiting for the rest of the tent to be "his own people", Lu Zhe suddenly walked over and kicked Yan Bi, lowered his voice and roared: "You did a good thing!" ”
Yan Bi was kicked to the ground. After thinking about it, he immediately smiled: "The military marquis forgives the sin, otherwise how can you take over the military power?" ”
Yes. Lu Zhe had already figured out that it was possible for Ren Huan to send assassins to assassinate him. But it doesn't just kill people without sending generals to take over the army. Moreover, even if Ren Huan sent someone to assassinate him, he would only kill Song Bo, and the death of those military marquis would not be beneficial to Ren Huan at all, and would only make the soldiers and horses of this school fall into a state of no command. In this situation, the chaos of the Qin army in Yiling did not benefit Ren Huan in Jiangling at all.
Lu Zhe didn't know how the Dao Assassin could have Ren Huan's token, and he didn't bother to guess it now. However, he knew that the only people who had this motive now were the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Gangneung. He didn't send someone to assassinate him, so he must be an assassin sent by the people of the Six Kingdoms in Jiangling, after all, the existence of this Qin army is to suppress Jiangling, and the object of suppression is these people from the Six Kingdoms!
Let the stunned Mengsan, Xu Shuang, and Gongwei guard the tent curtain, Lu Zhe was completely angry!
"You're so confident? Won't this military marquis take over the military power and bloody suppression!? ”
"Job uncertainty is not true. But my lord, our presence is only good for you, and there is no harm in it. If you want to make a difference, we're an enabler, not an obstacle. So why do you want to kill for the sake of Lu? Waving troops into Yiling to suppress others or benefits, what is the benefit to you who have already mastered Yiling? ”
"Damn! Annoying! ”
The warlord was angry. The job is sincerely considered for the military master! You think, in this situation, it is desirable for you to become the lord of the people of Yiling, and they are willing to obey you. But do you think, if Song Bo is alive, or if the other military marquis are not dead, can you, the 'Lord of Yiling' who controls the hearts of the people of Yiling, not be suspicious? If these people are here, no matter how good you are, the majority of the credit is also Song Bo's, and you will be divided by the rest of the military marquis. ”
"Shut up! Haven't you considered that if the assassination fails, or if an Assassin tells the truth, not only you, but also me, will die? ”
"Assassins are the dead of clans and clans......"
"Lao Tzu doesn't believe in any dead soldiers! There is no one in the world who does not disclose the news......"
"The military master, the military master! Listen to the job! ”
"You're going to kill Lao Tzu!"
"Please also ask the military master to finish his work!"
"You guys fuck, Lao Tzu and others have dealt with the Baiyue people. Be sure to kill them all......"
"Killing us won't do us any good? We're doing this for you! ”
The three guards of the tent were already dumbfounded, and they looked nervously at the two who were arguing with their mouths wide open. Heart "Poof! Poof! "Jumped very fast.
Seeing the three people who were stupid, Lu Zhe took a deep breath. Try your best to suppress your anger: "For me? I don't know what the situation is now!? ”
Yan Bi said eagerly: "For you, but also for us." You are the only officer among the Qin people who treats us as human beings, and we pray to Heaven that you will lead us forever. ”
Lu Zhe stared at Yan Bi angrily.
Yan Bi said again: "Actually, this is only good for you, and there is no harm in it. Do you think, you are just a military marquis, is there a chance for Song Bo to show your skills? The credit must be divided, and it must be controlled by those who do not understand the situation. Jiangling is bound to be in chaos under the attack of the Zheng and Zhao clans, and there are more than 200,000 remnants of the Six Kingdoms there, Tu Sui, Ren Huan, Zhao Xi, and Chang Bu...... Can someone survive the chaos of more than 200,000? As soon as they died, Song Bo was the chief general of the Southern Expeditionary Army. No matter what his considerations, he will not keep you, a military marquis who controls tens of thousands of troops......"
Lu Zhe had already suppressed his anger, and when he heard it, a volcano erupted: "This is Nanjun, it is the front line facing the Baiyue people, who can resist the surging Baiyue army in the chaos of the Qin army!" ”
Yan Bi was actually happy? He smiled: "You, only you can resist the Baiyue people. ”
Seeing that Yan Bi was still laughing, Lu Zhe was also angry and laughed.
Yan Bi explained: "Let me ask, who can command the people of Yiling except you?" Is it Song Bo? Or who? The remnants of the Six Kingdoms of Yiling are willing to listen to you, and now you are also the commander of this Qin army. Aren't you the perfect candidate for the main general? ”
Hearing this, Lu Zhe and the other three were stunned.
No matter what the reason is, the people of the Six Kingdoms of Yiling are really willing to obey Lu Zhe's orders? Except for Lu Zhe, it seems that no Qin officer wants to command. Others estimate that either the rebound is very serious, or they simply scatter and flee.
Yan Bi was overjoyed when he saw Lu Zhe stunned, and continued to persuade: "You want to, military master!" You are now the commander of the soldiers and horses of this school, and you have 20,000 soldiers from the Six Nations who are willing to obey orders, what threat can you have with just 20,000 Baiyue people who are no different from the rabble? You can defeat the attacking Baiyue first. Then wave the army to Gangneung, and under the persuasion of the princes, you can also recruit the other six countries as soldiers. Assemble a large army to clean up the chaos in South County. Isn't your credit for quelling the turmoil great? ”
"Tidy up?" Lu Zhe heard footsteps approaching outside the tent, and said to Yan Bi viciously, "I'm really going to clean you all up!" ”。 Seeing that the tent was opened, the captain of the armor led a man in. "This is the candidate to replace the herald?"
I have to say that Lu Zhe has a talent for changing his face, and he was still angry just now, but now he has a majestic face.
The captain of the armor team glanced at Yan Bi, who was kneeling on the ground, and replied in place of the person who came: "He is." ”
The man gave a military salute and replied, "Yes." ”
"Don't get out of here!" After Lu Zhe reprimanded Yan Bi, he said to the coarse and black-looking visitor, "Very good." Then you are now my Commander-in-Chief. ”
"Wei Han obeys!" Although it was a temporary appointment, he was still pleased: "Please ask the Lord to command." ”
Temporary commanders generally refer to the commander-in-chief rather than their original official position, and Lu Zhe is also aware of this. He nodded: "Pass down the military order......" Speaking of this, it was a little stuck, all because of the quarrel with Yan Bi just now. After a slight pause and a deep groan, he finally remembered what he was going to do, and then he ordered: "Call the scout." ”
Wei Hanying: "Hey! ”
Lu Zhe saw the position of the captain of the armor staring at him, and said in surprise: "What? ”
The captain of the sergeant "hehe" smiled: "The general once said that you are a talent for commanding troops, and it seems that the general is very knowledgeable." ”
"Smile and smile, Tu Sui is dying and laughing." Lu Zhe didn't mean to laugh at all, and after complaining in his heart, he walked over to check the wooden coffin left by Song Bo and looked through the marching records.
After about a quarter of an hour, Wei Han led the scout officer to arrive, and before they could speak, a group of people followed.
Lu Zhe looked at the five hundred masters, and then looked at the scout officer: "Send scouts to investigate the Baiyue people along the river, and be sure to report back once every two quarters of an hour!" ”
The scout officer saluted competently: "Hey! He immediately turned around and left.
Seeing that the scout officer was ordered to leave without any delay, Lu Zhe, who was satisfied, looked at the five hundred masters.
Several 500 lords had come to report that the soldiers had been assembled.
Lu Zhe asked, "Who told me what Zhangzuo is doing?" ”
There are 500 masters: "The main general, the commander is directing the auxiliary troops to pull out the camp." ”
Frowning, big frowning, when are you still in charge of the camp! Lu Zhe looked at the herald: "Go and tell Zhangzuo that you don't care about anything except weapons and grain and grass." If he doesn't understand the order, I'll change the commander! ”
The captain of the armor wanted to tell Lu Zhe that the change of the commander needed the consent of the general Tu Sui, but he couldn't help it when he saw that Lu Zhe was issuing a military order.
Lu Zhe looked at the other five hundred lords again: "Rectify the soldiers, go to Yiling with this general!" ”
Is there such a self-proclaimed name as "Ben General"? The five hundred lords were puzzled, but they shouted in unison: "Hey! (To be continued......)
