Chapter 10: The Guard
After Lu Ziyi returned to Baimu County, Sun Leying called him to his side and said, "Lu Ziyi, I see that you have been promoted to the eight-rank realm. ”
"Ben will have the intention to promote you, and soon our army will attack Pingchuan County, Ben will transfer you to the vanguard camp, so as to make meritorious contributions!"
"Thank you for the promotion!" Lu Ziyi thanked him on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Pioneer Camp? Isn't that a death sentence?
In these days of the Divine Dragon Army, he also knows something about the Divine Dragon Army.
Most of the soldiers of the Shenlong Army are the scum of war, and if they don't drink the "dragon blood", they can't be the opponents of the official army on the battlefield.
And among the officers and soldiers, there is no shortage of masters.
The vanguard battalion of the Shenlong Army has a mortality rate of more than seventy percent. Even if he had many opportunities to be born again, he couldn't afford to waste it.
But it is not good for him to refuse directly, otherwise it will be disobeying military orders.
So, during a patrol mission, Lu Ziyi was "accidentally" attacked by a prisoner, injured his leg, and found it difficult to move.
"Despicable and negligent, please punish the general!" Lu Ziyi pleaded guilty to Sun Leying with his injured leg.
Sun Leying's brows furrowed, he couldn't tell whether Lu Ziyi was intentional or unintentional.
Sun Leying checked Lu Ziyi's injuries and found that he was still really injured, and he was stabbed in the leg!
"Well, you can stay in the city to recuperate!" Sun Leying could only remove him from the pioneer camp.
"Thank you for your understanding! When you are recuperated from your injuries, you must go into battle to kill the enemy! Lu Ziyi said something against his will.
So, Sun Leying led people to follow Lu Tianxiong to attack Pingchuan County, and Lu Ziyi stayed in the prison to recuperate.
……
"Little brother." In the cell, knowing that Lu Tianxiong and the others had left, Wei Yanghao's mind became active, he tested Lu Ziyi, and said: "I see that you are young and promising, and you are narrow-minded, different from those thieves, why do you want to be with thieves?" ”
"You have such ability, if you serve the court, you will definitely be able to find an official and a half-job!"
Lu Ziyi knew that he wanted to escape from here, but now was not the time. Lu Tianxiong and the others were not defeated, they would come back at any time, and it was impossible for them to take such a big risk.
He said: "I also want to serve the court, but now that the traitor is in charge, even if he has the ability, there is nowhere to go!" And now that I am in this capacity, it is estimated that the imperial court will not believe me. ”
Wei Yanghao's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "I can recommend it for you!" ”
"As the head of a county, I still have a bit of a thin face! And my teacher is the state pastor of Guzhou, Lord Xu Shengxu! ”
The Dasheng Dynasty has a total of nine states, and the state pastor is the governor of a state, and the official of the feudal territory!
I didn't expect Wei Yanghao to have such an identity.
Lu Ziyi made a thinking look, Wei Yanghao continued to instigate, and said, "Do you know? This Lu Tianxiong, as well as these thieves, will be defeated! ”
"Why?" Lu Ziyi's channels for obtaining news are relatively closed, he only knows that the Divine Dragon Army is now powerful, and it has the momentum to overthrow the Dasheng Dynasty!
"Hmph, they're just a rabble!" Wei Yanghao snorted coldly and continued: "You don't know anything. When the thieves raised their troops, it was just when the first emperor died! At that time, the civil and military officials had no time to take care of the thief soldiers, so the thief soldiers quickly rose up! ”
"Now the imperial court has conscripted hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the general has been ordered to recruit thieves, and he has won successive battles! It won't be long before all the thieves will be wiped out! ”
"Then why did Guzhou fall?" Lu Ziyi asked.
"Because the Xiqiang tribe took advantage of the thieves to attack Guzhou and took the opportunity to invade! Lord Zhou Mu led his troops to resist the enemy from Xiqiang, allowing the thieves to take advantage of the loophole. Wei Yanghao said, "If nothing else, Lord Xu's reinforcements will arrive soon, and it will be easy to destroy Lu Tianxiong!" ”
"Lu Tianxiong has not yet gained a foothold in Guzhou, and he is tired of attacking Pingchuan County, because he is worried that he will be attacked from front to back after the arrival of officers and soldiers!"
Lu Ziyi thought about it, Wei Yanghao's words could not be fully believed, but if it was true, it showed that these Divine Dragon Armies were indeed running out of time.
Judging from what Lu Ziyi has seen and heard, the military discipline of the Shenlong Army is sloppy, the overall strength is low, the battle depends on taking medicine, and the will depends on brainwashing.
And as an insurrectionary army, their way of dealing with local forces is to plunder!
This means that local forces will not cooperate with the actions of the rebel army, and even if the uprising fails, Lu Ziyi is not surprised.
"Little brother! It's time for you to turn away from darkness and turn to light! Wei Yanghao said, "If you find a way to let me out, I Wei Yanghao will definitely repay you, I will do what I say!" ”
Lu Ziyi didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either, he said: "Wait for the opportunity!" ”
He will continue to observe the situation as it evolves.
In the following days, Lu Ziyi recuperated from his injuries while practicing several martial arts techniques he had obtained.
In the past month, Lu Tianxiong's attack on Pingchuan County was not smooth, and he failed to defeat several attacks.
At this time, Lu Ziyi also got the news that a large number of officers and troops were coming towards Baimu County, presumably they were the army led by Wei Yanghao and the state pastor.
In Baimu County, the atmosphere is tense, and there are soldiers who run away almost every day.
Lu Ziyi continued to keep a low profile, and at the same time, he was also thinking about whether he should run away.
Run away, there are officers and soldiers outside, and they will probably be caught and executed as a thief! As the centurion of the Shenlong Army, he is also a war achievement for them.
"If you want to run away, you must let Wei Yanghao go and let him correct my name!" Lu Ziyi thought to himself, Wei Yanghao still seems to be more trustworthy at present.
However, before Lu Ziyi could start implementing the plan, he was transferred.
"Lu Ziyi, from today onwards, you don't want to guard the cell, you go to General Lu as a personal guard and guard the mansion!" Sun Leying ordered.
"Yes!" Lu Ziyi had no choice but to do so.
Lu Tianxiong's original personal guards died more than half in the war, so they were transferred from other places.
He lived in the original mansion of Wei Yanghao, and Lu Ziyi was able to enter the inner house to guard because of the strength of the eighth grade.
……
Lu Ziyi started his career as a personal guard, and the personal guard was on duty, and sometimes he had to work night shifts.
During the break, Lu Ziyi continued to practice, but because of his average talent, his progress was slow.
Two months later, the situation was even more tense.
Guzhou Prefecture led an army of 50,000 to besiege Baimu County.
At this time, there were less than 20,000 people left under Lu Tianxiong, and he could not defend the city, and sent a letter of help to other rebel troops.
"Serve wine, serve wine to Lao Tzu!" In the mansion, Lu Tianxiong yelled, and his subordinates hurriedly sent wine in.
Because the battle situation was not optimistic, Lu Tianxiong began to drink heavily day and night, and often went crazy after drinking, and a group of his subordinates who served him were killed by him!
"What a rotten wine, phew, so bad to drink!" Lu Tianxiong grabbed his subordinate by the neck and twisted him up.
The servant held his breath and shouted, "My lord, my lord, all the wine in the city has been drunk...... These are the ones we found with great difficulty! ”
"Get out, look for it again!" This time, Lu Tianxiong did not kill anyone.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The subordinates ran out with crawls and rolls.
Lu Ziyi watched quietly, he knew that not only could he not find good wine in Baimu County, but even food was very tight.
Now ordinary soldiers only have one meal a day, and if this continues, the Shenlong Army will be defeated!
Lu Tianxiong ate and drank to his heart's content and began his routine entertainment.
"Bring someone here!" Lu Tianxiong commanded.
"Yes!" A personal guard immediately went to make arrangements.
