On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the coalition camp, the middle road camp.

The Gu family's banner was hunting and fluttering under the blowing of the river wind, and several teams of several people were patrolling around the camp, especially on the river surface that was still shrouded in dense fog, which was the target of their defense.

Today, several important people gathered in the Chinese army camp, which made the Gu family attach more importance to the defense of more than ten miles here, and no suspicious person should be allowed to approach it, regardless of land or water.

In the Chinese military tent, it is much more relaxed than the orderly and cautious appearance of the surroundings, and more than a dozen generals from various families gather in one tent.

In front of them, there was a steaming tea, and they all had warm smiles on their faces. If it weren't for the fact that they were all dressed in armor, they would look no different from a group of literati gathering to drink tea.

This is also the habit of the children of the wealthy clan in Jiangnan, especially those in high positions, even if they are on the battlefield right now, they still have to put on that calm posture when they get along with others.

The head of the Gu family will Gu Yaotian be forty years old, and his whole popularity is like that of a Confucian general, and after taking a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "Everyone, I asked you to come here today because Brother Qian had a question. ”

"Oh? But what is the doubt? The head of the Lu family, Lu Dingkun, asked with a smile. He was also in his prime, and his whole person was shrewd, and his eyes fell on Qian Zonghan, who bowed his head and said nothing.

In fact, he was not the only one, but more than a dozen people in the tent, and after Gu Yaotian spoke, they quickly focused their attention on the lowest-looking deputy general of the Qian family.

This made him a little uncomfortable, and after coughing dryly, he whispered: "Actually, it's nothing, I just feel a little strange, why there has been no movement on the other side in the past two days." ”

"Isn't this obvious, because the fog on the river is big, it is not easy to fight, and it is not good to defend and attack. We didn't take the initiative to attack differently? One of Lu Dingkun's side opened his mouth to explain, it was Lu Yan, the deputy general of the Lu family, although he was young and fast-talking, he had considerable experience in leading troops, and he was deeply trusted by the Lu family.

Wu Tiexiong also spoke at this time: "Yes, I also think that it is wisest to brake quietly in the past two days, if anyone moves first, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss." ”

With these two people taking the lead, everyone else also followed up, saying that Qian Zonghan was a little too suspicious.

Qian Zonghan was also calm at this time, and said with a smile: "What you said is naturally reasonable, but I sent two boatloads of men and horses to test it a little before, but I noticed that something was wrong. ”

"How?" Wu Tiexiong's heart tightened slightly, and he hurriedly asked.

Gu Yaowu on the other side also asked with a smile: "Is there no one on the other side?" ”

"That's not it, as soon as our talent was still far from the north bank, we alarmed the defenders on the other side, and they immediately fired arrows indiscriminately, causing some of our soldiers to be wounded and had to turn back."

"Isn't this the end of it? That Guo Yan is also a veteran general who knows the soldiers, and he knows that the weather should be stable and guarded, and he is even waiting for us to bump into it ourselves. Wu Tiexiong hurriedly spoke again, for fear that a few people in this tent really wanted to kill Jiang directly.

"Brother Wu didn't know, they just released arrows to force our people back, but none of the boats went out of the camp to pursue, which is really unreasonable." Qian Zonghan said with a solemn expression, "At that time, if they sent multiple clippers to pursue and surround them, I am afraid that none of my two boats will be able to come back."

But in the end, they just shot people away with a flurry of arrows, and they didn't have the slightest intention of chasing and killing the enemy. This is very memorable, isn't it that they have insufficient soldiers and horses in their camp, and they dare not chase them out, for fear that I will see through the truth and truth? ”

Everyone also showed thoughtful expressions at this time, but Wu Tiexiong's heart was tight, is this matter going to be exposed?

He had really sent more than 20,000 people across the river at night according to Sun Ning's proposal, and there was really an empty camp over there, and the Liangzhou army didn't know where to retreat.

Originally, according to his idea, it was better to report the whole army directly, and then let everyone immediately cross the river to chase and kill, but Sun Ning tried his best to stop him.

"Don't strangle when you return to the teacher, don't chase after the poor. General Wu, you don't understand the truth of this art of war, right?

"If you really chase at this time, you may definitely win a big victory, but the damage to your own family must be quite large. In addition, there is another possibility, that is, it will not be able to catch up with the enemy.

And the consequences are quite serious, that is, the loss of the traitor who found the deepest hidden Zonghenghui in Jiangnan. In my opinion, these traitors are more threatening than foreign enemies, think about the Hanshan Temple......"

It was precisely because of Sun Ning's persuasion that Wu Tiexiong finally made up his mind and dragged it on the north bank for three days.

There are naturally considerable risks in this, such as the Liangzhou army may go and return, or the armies in the south of the Yangtze River will suddenly kill the river, but under the unfavorable situation of the current fog for several days, this is only a small probability event after all, so Wu Tiexiong still decided to grit his teeth and take the risk.

After two days, although there were some minor problems, it looked like it was over.

It's just that I didn't expect that my own actions that didn't want to hurt the alliance made the Qian family suspicious, and even brought it up in public, how could this not make Wu Tiexiong feel nervous?

And he had the heart to argue, but when the words came to his mouth, he was worried that he was so actively opposed, would it make people see the problem?

At the moment when he was in a dilemma, Lu Dingkun said with a smile: "Brother Qian really thinks deeply enough, but in my opinion, this should just be a sign of caution from the other party."

"After all, there is a fog on the river, and you can't see anything clearly twenty paces away, who knows if there are other ships behind your two boats? If they hastily send a small number of men and horses in pursuit, what if they encounter an ambush?

"So in my opinion, you are taking it for granted, how can the enemy army on the other side come up with any moths?"

This explanation is quite reasonable, and everyone agrees, but Qian Zonghan still has a look of suspicion, and finally said: "Anyway, I thought it was not a matter to drag it like this, it is better to take advantage of the fog and the other party is defenseless and kill the river." ”

His words made Gu Yaowu and several other young people who were dedicated to meritorious service also interested, and after thinking about it for a while, they actually agreed one by one.

However, the veteran and serious generals led by Gu Yaotian refused to take this risk, and the two sides had a good argument, but the result could only be unresolved.

At this time, the time had already come to the afternoon, and it seemed that there was no time for a large-scale landing battle across the river.

In the end, everyone had to put the issue aside for the time being and go back to the camp.

And just when Wu Tiexiong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave the camp with others, a person behind him suddenly shouted: "Brother Wu, please stay, I have something to discuss." ”

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lu Dingkun catching up with a smile, looking close.
