Chapter 603: Tripartite Upheaval (10)
It was late at night when Wu Tiexiong returned to the camp, but he didn't have time to rest at all, so he quickly gathered all the generals under his command and asked about the situation in the army.
Although the Wu family said that they were on guard this time and took the absolute initiative, the damage was quite great in the battle with the Lu family.
Not to mention the loss of destroying an empty camp, the casualties after a siege and annihilation alone are also a large number. In addition, everyone is fighting this battle with confusion, and it is even more necessary for the soldiers to explain and appease the soldiers.
The generals under him were also busy until the middle of the night, and they were all in high spirits, with hoarse throats, and after seeing their own commanders, they reported all the actions after dusk.
Wu Tiexiong also has the style of a general, and in the face of these myriad affairs in the barracks, he handled them quite easily, and he carried out his responsibilities in a few words.
In the end, he said with a straight face: "Our army has not moved in the past two days, saying that it is to prevent the Liangzhou army on the other side from going and returning, but in fact, it is to calm the morale of the whole army. So next, everyone watched it, and if there was anything wrong with the officers and men in the army, they must report it to us as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"The last general obeys!" All the subordinates agreed in unison.
"Also, although the Lu family goes, but they retreat in a hurry, they will inevitably leave behind a lot of materials, and the other families have promised that all these things will be compensated by my Wu family. Send for men after daybreak to check on them and bring back everything you need. Ordinary money and other things, all of them will be rewarded to the soldiers below who have made meritorious contributions to the enemy. ”
After his subordinates received orders again, he waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat deliberately.
It wasn't until there were few people left in the tent that Wu Tiexiong rubbed his temples and let out a long breath.
To be honest, this day was really longer and more difficult for him than the previous year, from discovering that the Lu family was different, to planning and setting up an ambush, and then to commanding the operation, he was really hard and laborious, and he also carried a very heavy burden.
If one of these steps is wrong, then the Wu family will be doomed.
Fortunately, everything really happened as expected, and the Lu family really looked down on themselves, and actually tried to raid the Wu family's military camp on the grounds of borrowing food, which was really self-defeating.
Of course, in the final analysis, all this is thanks to Sun Changan and them. If it weren't for their early warning and let themselves be prepared, I'm afraid that today's Wu family would be in trouble, and it is certain that the loss of troops and the loss of vitality will be great, and even their own lives will be feared......
Thinking of this, Wu Tiexiong suddenly found that until this time, he had not seen Sun Changan, so he asked the guards around him: "Where is Sun Changan?" Why don't you see him come to me? ”
The guard was also stunned, he really hadn't paid attention to these people, so he quickly agreed, and went outside to ask.
After a while, he came back with doubts in his heart: "General, after the changes in the camp, Sun Changan took the initiative to pursue Lu Dingkun and the others, and then pursued them all the way, and never saw them back......
"Huh? How so? Wu Tiexiong slammed the tea bowl that had just been brought to his mouth, and his brows furrowed even more, "You go and ask again to see who sees them last." Is it really that the enemy is chased too tightly and is captured by the enemy? ”
This Sun Changan is not only a friend of the Wu family, but also a great help to himself, if something really happens to him, he will be uneasy in his heart.
Half an hour later, the result was also reported, and a soldier with a wounded body made a report: "General, then Sun Changan and his people did chase Lu Dingqian and others who fled back to the camp all the way east, and we were also following closely." As a result, when they chased five or six miles away from the Lu family's camp, they were intercepted by a team of thousands of people, and we were not opponents, so we could only retreat first, as for them, I am afraid they were ......."
"This ......" Wu Tiexiong's expression froze, and only after a while did he sigh: "That's it." It seems that he is really a little anxious, and he actually wants to take down Lu Dingqian again, but he puts himself in.
"In fact, as long as Lu Dingkun is in our hands, it is enough, and with this, it is enough for us to wave our army to attack Yangzhou and crusade against the Lu family. Hey......"
Sun Ning may have really done him a great favor to the Wu family, and it also made Wu Tiexiong have the heart to recruit, after all, this person is brave and strategic, if he can help himself, he can be a little more sure if he wants to compete for the position of sect master in the future.
However, since his person is likely to die at the hands of the Lu family, he will not be too worried, although he is sad and regretful, but after sleeping for one night, the matter will be turned over.
At least, Wu Tiexiong thought so at this time, I am afraid that it is impossible to see this young man again in this life.
……
In the dark, Sun Ning was in front, Xiao Qian was behind, and in the middle were more than a dozen wounded soldiers of the Southwest Army, who were walking quickly through a fairly dense forest.
After walking in the dark for an hour, Sun Ning finally stopped and said with a smile: "Okay, let's take a break, let's rest here tonight." ”
After everyone found a tree to sit down, Xiao Qian sat down beside him and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that those people will suspect anything when you leave the front line at this time?" Also, what exactly are you going to do? ”
"Don't worry, we are just small people in the eyes of those wealthy people, and in the background of such a big mess, they will not notice it at all."
Sun Ning took the water bag from his waist, poured two sips indiscriminately, and handed it to his wife, before continuing: "Moreover, for the sake of prudence, I also deliberately put on a posture of pursuing the remnants of the Lu family, so that people think that we have crashed into the opponent's army, and naturally we will not be spared. ”
"No wonder you took such a risk, it turned out to be a cover-up." Xiao Qian smiled and nodded, then took a sip of water, and frowned again, "Why isn't it wine?" ”
"I'm afraid the wine will be drunk by you tonight, or the water is good, you can drink it for two more days." Sun Ning laughed, "Because in the next few days, we have to be careful to hurry, not to be noticed by others, and to sleep in the open." ”
"And where are we going next?" Xiao Qian was naturally more curious, and asked in a low voice.
"Go back to Quzhou!" There was a sharp light flashing in Sun Ning's eyes, "It's also time to fulfill my promise to Gu Yaohua and Liang Wentong." Moreover, now is the weakest moment in the entire Jiangnan, even if they do not take advantage of the situation to cross the river and kill Huainan, they will inevitably concentrate all their troops and horses to attack Yangzhou because of the Lu family.
"And with the soldiers of Yangzhou being strong and strong, even if they combine the strength of each family, I am afraid that they will not want to defeat the enemy for a while. At least in the next month or two, we can do a lot of things in the western part of Zhejiang! ”
When Xiao Qian heard him say this, she suddenly understood a lot in her heart, and said with some surprise: "It turns out that you have been making arrangements all along, guiding them to discover that Zonghenghui will infiltrate Jiangnan, let them Chen Bing on the Yangtze River line, and sweep away the other three, all in preparation for this moment?" ”
Sun Ning nodded lightly: "All the foreshadowing has been completed, it's time for Jiangnan to really change, just wait for me to return to Quzhou!" ”
