Chapter 376: An Unexpected Withdrawal (2)

"My lord, please see."

Pointing to the vivid sand table in front of him, Jiang Kongming said proudly: "This place is a hundred miles away from Wolong City, and along the way, the students have already ordered not to stay at one house. ”

Xu Haifeng nodded silently, his pair of thick eyebrows furrowed, and he didn't seem to care about Jiang Junshi's words.

"There are so many people, it's hard to be a military teacher."

Twisting his beard, Lu Dingsheng said. Since before he was in the barracks, he saw Jiang Kongming's exhalation**, and the old man's evaluation of him in his heart has reached an unattainable height.

"Where, you always compliment. In addition, all the wells along the way have been blocked, and although there is still some living water that cannot be stopped, it is now nearly halfway through autumn, and it will soon be the time of the harsh winter, and then it will be the time of our decisive battle with the Caesars. Jiang Kongming said humbly.

"Master Strategist, when Fang entered the city, he saw hundreds of strange-shaped vehicles above the city, may I ask ......" This sentence lingered in Xiang Ming's heart for a long time, and finally asked at this time.

"Commander Fang is right, this is the Zhuge Divine Crossbow." Jiang Kongming smiled slightly and uncovered the mystery.

After their group left Wolong City, they traveled day and night, and finally rushed back to the Western camp yesterday.

Haosheng rested for a day, and early the next morning, Xu Haifeng immediately summoned many generals to participate in the military meeting.

Including the Xiang Ming brothers, the ancestors and grandsons of the Lu family, as well as Tang Qiyi and Su Chunwei, who came to the Western camp earlier, were all present.

At the beginning of the military discussion, Jiang Kongming expressed his plan, to implement the policy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness within a range of 100 miles between the Western Camp and Wolong City. Wait here for the tired army of Caesar to come here and fight it out.

"May I ask the military master, these Zhuge Divine crossbows are the same thing as the ones used by the Cheng family in Taiyuan?" Su Chunwei raised his eyebrows and asked.

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Jiang Kongming's answer.

"Yes, it's the same thing."

The voice that answered was not from Jiang Kongming, but Xu Haifeng, who had been silent on the side.

Su Chunwei glanced at him deeply and said, "Su understands." He closed his mouth tightly and said no more.

Xu Haifeng's direct and clear answer undoubtedly told them that before the Battle of Taiyuan, the Black Flag Army had been secretly trading with the Cheng family without telling everyone.

As soon as they thought of this, everyone felt a palpitation at the same time.

Xu Haifeng, a peerless general who seems to be a good man in everyone's hearts, would do this, which is indeed far beyond everyone's expectations.

"Ahem, lord, you don't have to bear this infamy for your students." Jiang Kongming sighed deeply, stood up, waved at everyone present, and said: "Since the lord returned from Beijing, he has delegated all military and political power to the students. The students were all doing the work, and by the time the lord knew about it, it was too late. It is also the benevolence of the main mansion and the can't bear to be punished, otherwise it would not be too much to take the head of the student. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, thinking of the performance of the two of them, but this sentence is more credible.

However, do you want to take Jiang Kongming's head? Even if some people here want to, they can't do it.

"Actually, no matter what you say, the Cheng family is still a Han person, even if they give away some of these equipment, it is just a mutual aid from the same clan, and it is not harmful." Lu Dingsheng smiled slightly, breaking the somewhat stiff atmosphere.

Among all of them, his prejudice against the Cheng family is the lightest, on the contrary, in the deepest part of his heart, there is still a faint idea of hoping that the Cheng family will win.

"Okay, that's the end of the matter, and I don't need to mention it again." Xu Haifeng waved his sleeves and said loudly.

As soon as he said this, even if he wanted to say a few words, he didn't dare to speak again at this moment.

The first battle of Taiyuan has pushed his prestige to a peak, and now the burning of Wolong City, Jiang Kongming's miracles of calling the wind under his command have shrouded his body with a layer of mysterious brilliance.

Even Su Chunwei, who was the least optimistic about him among the three major families, faintly felt his growing strength at this time.

And what is the goal behind this power, even a blind person can guess.

For Xu Haifeng, he already harbored a kind of fear, a deep, but never revealed fear.

"Report ......"

"What?"

"Lin Jiahui has an urgent matter to see the lord."

"Let him come up."

After a while, Lin Jiahui hurriedly entered the hall.

He saluted everyone first, and even Xiang Ming had scruples about this Xu Haifeng's newly favored close confidant, and did not rude him in the slightest.

The achievements of the special forces in Wolong City made no one dare to underestimate them anymore.

"Lord Qiqi, Lord Commander, there is an urgent message from Wolong City."

On the road leading to Wolong City, the Han people also laid a dense group of spies, but among them, there is no shortage of martial arts masters. And the real main force among these spies is under the control of Lin Jiahui.

However, as long as he only mentioned Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming here, you know that in his heart, only these two people are the minds that can really make up their minds.

"What's the news? Did they leave so quickly? Jiang Kongming asked in surprise, in his calculations, without three or five days of rectification, the Caesar people would not want to clean up the mess, let alone continue to move forward.

"Yes, they have already left. However, ......" Speaking of this, Lin Jiahui couldn't help but hesitate.

"Say it quickly, don't stumble." I am afraid that the only one who can scold Lin Jiahui in this tone is Jiang Kongming, who does not put the world in his eyes.

"Yes, the Caesars have marched out with all their armies." Lin Jiahui raised his head slightly, looked at Jiang Dajunshi's face, and said, "They retreated to the west." ”

"What?" The triumphant expression on Jiang Kongming's face froze suddenly, he stood up without any grace, and shouted with some anger: "They're gone? ”

"Yes, they're gone." Lin Jiahui rarely saw Jiang Kongming lose his temper like this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "My subordinates can't believe it, so I have asked the family teacher and Lu Yangming's seniors to go to review it in person, but because this matter is very important, my subordinates dare not delay, so I will tell you first." ”

casually pulled out the feather fan, and whenever he encountered something difficult to decide, Jiang Kongming's action had become a habit.

"There will be no fake, no one dares to joke about such things, but there must be a reason for it." Jiang Kongming said fiercely: "What a Julius Caesar, he can swallow such a bad breath." ”

The Caesar is gone?

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and after hearing the news, they were really not sure what kind of thoughts they had in their hearts.

Is it a relief or a disappointment? Yang or both.

"Let's put aside today's discussion for the time being, let's disperse." Xu Haifeng stood up, said hello to everyone, and left.

Lu Dingsheng's ancestor got into the car that had been prepared on the side of the road, and Lu Tongzhou glanced at the guards and closed the car door.

The carriage moved slowly, and there was a "dripping" sound on the solid ground.

"It's over." The old man leaned back on the comfortable thick futon and sighed deeply.

"Grandpa, you said that Caesar was gone like this?" There was a hint of wonder in Lu Tongzhou's mouth.

"Jiang Junshi is right, no one dares to joke about this matter, and the Caesar people must have left."

"In this battle of Wolong City, our Lu family did not make a great contribution, if they left like this......" Lu Tongzhou frowned and sighed.

"Tongzhou ......" The old man's expression suddenly became stern.

"Yes."

"You have to remember that with the strength of our Lu family now, in the northwest, it is already second to none, and it can't be higher."

The corners of Lu Tongzhou's eyes jumped, but he was a little dissatisfied with his grandfather's words.

"Alas......" Lu Dingsheng sighed deeply and said, "Isn't the reputation of the King of the Northwest enough to satisfy you?" ”

Lu Tongzhou's eyes lit up, and he said slowly and forcefully: "The king of the northwest, after all, is only the king of the northwest, but the four great families are the four great families of the entire Han Dynasty." ”

"The Four Great Families? Which one are you going to replace? ”

"The Cheng family, or the Su family." Lu Tongzhou said coldly, but there was a fiery enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Tongzhou, the four great families are indeed beautiful, but have you ever thought about what is above them?"

"The Ninety-Five."

"In my generation, the northwest is the king, and in your generation, if you step into the ranks of the four great families, then when your children and grandchildren grow up, will they continue to move forward?"

"............" Lu Tongzhou's face showed a trace of hesitation and dazedness, he closed his mouth and did not answer.

"Do you know why I wanted to find Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming before the Battle of Taiyuan, and tell them plainly that I want to be a wall grass?"

Seeing that Lu Tongzhou didn't answer, the old man shook his head and said, "Because we have this strength, we have the strength to be a wall grass." No matter which of them wins the final victory, as long as we are sincere, they will never refuse. ”

"Yes......"

"Hey...... In troubled times, even the grass on the wall is not so easy to be. Tongzhou, if you have the talent to dominate the world, I will naturally help, but if your talent is only to lead one side, then it is better to keep a low profile. The old man said earnestly and comfortingly.

Lu Tongzhou said respectfully: "Yes, thank you grandpa for your teachings." ”

Lu Dingsheng nodded with satisfaction, but, perhaps because his old eyes were dizzy, he didn't see the cold light in his grandson's eyes.
