It should have been observed for a few more days, but this traitor was really an eyesore, a toad lying on the surface of his feet - not biting, but responding to people.

So Lu Zhi asked General Zhang to take this person away, anyway, there is still Dr. Sun, whether there is an adverse reaction or not, he should know better than himself.

"After observing for ten days and half a month, you can basically determine whether this prosthetic leg can be used or not."

Lu Zhi explained to General Zhang, "If it doesn't work, I'll get another prosthetic leg of the machine, and we'll decide according to the situation." ”

"You can't do it." General Zhang nodded in response, and then talked about peace talks with the Chu army.

To be reasonable, Lu Zhi took great pains to improve his prosthetics, and the old general Zhang didn't have to exert more strength? He was not good at anything else, so he planned to lead his army to recover a city first.

"The old general is hard." The combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Lu Zhi has been proven, but these people have no experience in siege, so it is naturally a good thing to have the opportunity to learn it.

…………

The palace of the king of Chu.

The king of Chu and the god of war of Chu Zhongyong Bo are discussing in secret, and the topic is not unusual, it is nothing more than the issue of the war between Chu and Yue.

"Shi Aiqing, do you think we are fighting this battle? Or don't you fight? "The two of them are chatting like family, and the atmosphere is not urgent at all.

Bing is indeed a soldier of Great Chu, but he is not a descendant of the King of Chu, so it may be a little cruel to say this, but the King of Chu really doesn't care much.

"I think it's better to negotiate peace." Uncle Zhong Yongbo gave his opinion.

It probably means that you don't want the territory, and the city will be returned to you, but after all, my Dachu has died so many soldiers, do you have to come up with some money, food and materials to compensate?

"Hmm." King Chu thought for a moment, "Okay, let's do it." ”

In fact, if you don't want to fight a national war, the Chu army has to withdraw.

You think, they captured more than 70 cities at once, and they fought and fought down, but they didn't have enough troops to defend them.

Let's do a simple calculation, even if each city sends a battalion to guard it, a battalion is 1,000 people, and 70 cities, then at least 70,000 people are needed.

Of course, the actual situation is even worse than this, because although the Chu army claims to be 100,000, it is actually far from that much, and it is used to defend the city.

Hey, then again, this is also the reason why Han Zhibing and Lu Zhi are eager to change the law.

The Chu army didn't have so many soldiers to defend the city, so who was guarding the city? Hmph, naturally it's some traitors from Dayue.

Most of the cities that surrendered voluntarily, the Chu army only left some soldiers to "meaning", mainly the local families maintained order, they were just like the Jin family in the Golden Scale City, and they had quite a few troops in their hands.

…………

Golden Scale City.

After these days of rectification, the logistics are complete, and the siege equipment has been built, it is a good time to regain the lost territory.

So, Lu Zhi and Lu Yi led 3,000 cavalry, followed General Zhang out of the city, they were ready to attack nearby, don't care about the big cities and small cities, it is serious to get one back first.

However, he said that General Zhang did not have many men, only 20,000 people, and then some auxiliaries.

However, these soldiers belong to the Acropolis, and after the tempering of the Wuyue War, their combat power is very strong, and it is not a problem to attack the city and pull out the village.

√, unlike in the past, this time the reinforcements brought by General Zhang Lao were not mixed troops of the Acropolis Army and the Qingcheng Army, and they were basically all Acropolis Army.

The main consideration for this is probably the problem of cooperation, Lu Yi was born in the Acropolis Army, and the imperial court sent the Acropolis Army over, which greatly reduced the run-in time.

Moreover, General Zhu, Deputy General Qin and others of the Acropolis Army all have good personal relations with Lu Yi, which is also conducive to the unity and cooperation of the troops.

…………

Aries City, a small and nameless city, where General Pingxi's first step in regaining lost territory will begin.

Ten miles outside the city, the army that traveled here was stationed, ready to rest for the night, and the city was officially attacked tomorrow.

General Lu Zhi, Lu Yi, and Zhang Lao, the three of them brought some personal guards and found a place on higher ground, preparing to observe the enemy situation and formulate a siege strategy by the way.

"Hiss~~~" When he arrived at the place, Lu Zhi directly gasped, and this move made General Zhang laugh even more, "Haha, what's wrong?" I didn't expect this Aries City to be so broken? ”

In the eyepiece of the clairvoyant, where did Lu Zhi see what kind of city? That's just a circle...... Soil ridges?

"Old general, it's not that I'm talking big, just this thing, do you still need to study? My cavalry rushed over in one round, didn't I take it on the spot? ”

Lu Yiman pursed his lips nonchalantly, "This is simply an earthen city." ”

"Well, it seems that you don't know enough about the big and small cities in the Western Realm." However, General Zhang is not surprised by this, and several brothers of the Lu family are busy building the Golden Scale Five Cities, so they are afraid that they will not have time to take care of him.

"I'll tell you......" General Zhang explained, it turned out that not only the western border, but also the cities like Aries City in Dayue.

One is affected by the economy and population, and the other is unnecessary, in fact, except for the border cities, the defense capabilities of other cities are very average.

"General?" Lu Zhi chewed on the word, thinking to himself, this is too ordinary.

It is true that Lu Zhi does not have a deep understanding of Dayue Chengchi and has already made the mistake of empiricism.

The cities he has seen are all big and important cities such as Xuanwu City, Yuejing City, and Golden Scale City, and at the moment, it is only Aries City, can it be comparable?

…………

It was night, Lu Zhi slept very sweetly, since he saw Aries City, the pressure brought to him by the name of General Pingxi had plummeted.

More than 70 cities, a lot to say, but there are only a few hard bones to gnaw, which is undoubtedly good news.

At the end of the night, as soon as Lu Zhi woke up from his sleep, there was even better news - Aries City had been recovered by General Zhang.

Lu Zhi: "??? ”

Didn't hear anything last night? How did it get back? That's too fast, right?

With questions, Lu Zhi came to General Zhang's big tent, and at this time Lu Yi had already arrived first.

Well, Lu Zhi's living habits are more hedonistic, and he usually sleeps until he wakes up naturally, even if he is out on the march and deliberately gets up early, he is still not as early as General Zhang.

"Old General!" After Lu Zhi saw the ceremony, he listened to it on the side.

General Zhang has already told Lu Yi a lot, and now he has briefly reviewed it.

Things are not complicated, to recover Aries City, General Zhang only sent a messenger over, this messenger is articulate, can speak well, after the past to state the pros and cons, the analysis is very in place.

So, early this morning, the white flag was hung up in Aries City.

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight, the old general is really powerful!" Lu Zhi stroked his palms and laughed, this can be regarded as a good start.

General Zhang shook his head, "Don't deserve such praise, this Aries City is my Dayue city after all, and the city is also my Dayue's people." ”

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that General Zhang's words were reasonable, isn't this the so-called popular desire.

Faintly, he had a hunch that the fall of the Western Realm was fast, and maybe it would be recovered faster!

…………

In fact, Lu Zhi's hunch was right, just when he took a few small cities and was about to gnaw the first hard bone, the envoy of Chu State arrived.

As soon as the envoy of the Chu State changed the momentum of the great power, he did not mean to suppress people with power, and as soon as he saw Lu Zhi, he explained it.

Ah, it was not my king's intention to attack the Yue Kingdom, but it was the Wu State that sent people to lobby, which made some nobles of the Chu State dizzy and deceived.

You Yue Guo is a victim, and my Da Chu is also a victim!

When Lu Zhi heard this, he said, this envoy really didn't bully people, but he was really shameless, he was obviously an aggressor, and he said it so high-soundingly.

"Your Excellency." Lu Zhi smiled, looking like an old friend, "In that case, it's a misunderstanding?" ”

The messenger nodded repeatedly, "That's right, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

"Haha, since it's a misunderstanding, it's easy to do." Lu Zhi's face did not change, "Then return all the land of my Dayue." ”

"What the county master said is right, since it is a misunderstanding, the land should indeed be returned." The messenger did not retort, but did not say much, and he quickly departed, pretending to be physically tired and overwhelmed.

…………

"Hehe, this Chu State is really interesting."

Seeing the envoy leave, Lu Zhi's thoughts were a little complicated, the Chu State didn't want land, that was to say something else, it was impossible for them to return empty-handed.

"Hey, I don't know what King Yue means?"

Immediately, Lu Zhixiu wrote a letter, detailing the peace talks, and the bird passed the book away.

"Creator~~~" Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the sky, the bird with the letter had already flown away, it shouldn't be it.

"Creator~~~" Another call came, Lu Zhi closed his eyes and sensed it, it was a creation in the direction of the capital, "What's the matter?" ”

"Hey, why did you lose? The invincible Great Chu will also be defeated? And he was defeated by such a stinky kid? ”

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly analyzed some situations, the wisdom of this creature was obviously insufficient, it should be living alone, there was no kind of person around, and there was little contact with humans.

Soul-infused creatures are so intelligent that they learn so fast that even the worst of them can communicate normally for three to five days.

Like the one that the soul is talking about now, it is so wooden that there is obviously no opportunity to learn.

"Do you still have the face to come here? I've given you all the maps of the western border, and you can still fail? ”

"Lord Xu, we are here to save you, come with us."

"Let's go? Where to go? ”

"Naturally, he went back to Chu with us, the king said that as long as Lord Xu came over, he would definitely be treated by high-ranking officials."

"Hey, no, no one doubts me now, if I go with you, won't I just confess?"

"Lord Xu, that damn Lu Zhi is now the general of Pingxi, and his status is rising, if you continue to stay in Yue Kingdom, I'm afraid that the situation will not be good!"

"Hmph, isn't in a good situation? Can I go with you and get in a good situation?

You must not say that you have the ability to take me to evacuate safely, the western border is now a pot of porridge, and no one can leave. ”

“……”

Lu Zhi understood it, this was the creation far away in the capital and broadcast it live to him, "Lord Xu? Can you also get access to the Western Border Defense Map? ”

"Hehe~~~" Lu Zhi sneered, "Xu Shangshu, you Xu Shangshu, it's not good to think about it behind closed doors, but you actually moved such crooked thoughts." ”

Needless to say, it must be Xu Huaili who betrayed the Yue Kingdom, and he took the western defense map as his name, this is to betray the Great Yue, go to the Chu State to be a big official, and enjoy the glory and wealth!

Lu Zhi thought about it briefly and felt that this should be the case.

In fact, there is one thing that is right in the soul transmission, as long as he is there, Xu Shangshu will never think of having a chance to turn over.

…………

made a live broadcast, and the creation fell silent, but Lu Zhi was thinking about how to expose Xu Shangshu, the traitor.

In fact, he can directly report to King Yue, but he has a personal enmity with Xu Shangshu, and this move will inevitably be criticized.

"I can't say it, so let someone else say it." Lu Zhi thought about it again, this is a great achievement, and the person who reported it has to be carefully chosen.

"Your own family is definitely not good, Scholar Xie? Or maybe it's Mr. Han. Lu Zhi shook his head again, these two are already extremely popular ministers, and it doesn't make much difference whether they have this credit or not.

Shen Lang? …… Lu Zhi thought of another person, this person was Lu Li's invigilator when he participated in the Northern University Examination, and he was also his teacher, the current waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

"Well, it's you, maybe with this credit, you can get a book of etiquette in the future." Lu Zhi subconsciously wanted to write a letter, and as soon as he grabbed the pen, he thought about the soul transmission.

"General Yu? General Yu? After calling a few times in his heart, General Yu really answered, "Creator." ”

"Well, that's the case, Xu Huaili, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, colluded with Da Chu to leak the map of my Dayue Western Territory, and now I urgently need you to inform Shen Lang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, of this matter."

Lu Zhi paused, "The general may be able to do it?" ”

"What? The secretary of the dignified Ministry of Rites actually did such a thing? General Yu was angry, "Don't worry, Creator, I'll do it." ”

Creation and creation are not the same, and their temperaments are also different, before Lu Zhi could say a few words, General Yu hurriedly went to do it.

…………

When his eyes came to the Shen Mansion, Shen Lang was sitting in the courtyard at this time, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it.

Despite already in a high position, he still did not give up his hobby.

Hey, Shen Lang likes to read books when he has nothing to do, any book, as long as he hasn't read it.

"Chance? Another coincidence? How come this book of Sun Shan Bookstore always has a chance encounter? ”

But he said that Sun Shan didn't run a bookstore, in order to make a reputation, he collected a lot of myths, stories, rumors in the streets and alleys, and then processed them into books.

Da Yue's life is very boring, and there are not many entertainment activities, so these scripts are still very marketable, isn't it, and the attendants of the hall also like to look through them.

"The quotations of the county horse are cloudy, there is no coincidence and no book, and it makes sense to take a closer look!" Shen Lang rolled up his sleeves, dipped his fingers in the tea in his hand, and shook off the water droplets, and then continued to look at it.

Fluttering ridge ~~~

At this moment, a bird landed in the yard, Shen Lang tilted his head and looked at it, and the bird did the same.

"Haha, am I teasing you, or are you teasing me?" As soon as Shen Lang stretched out his hand, the flying bird took off again and landed in the palm of his hand.

"Let me see what news Lu Li has for me." Shen Lang opened the letter and looked at it, and immediately sat up straight, "Okay, why did my Ministry of Rites have such a scum!" ”

Taking a few breaths, Shen Lang calmed down, "Coincidence? Then Benguan came to visit Shangguan today and stumbled upon the big secret? ”

With a plan in mind, Shen Lang immediately arranged for the carriage and horses to go to Xu's mansion.
