The entire Iron Hand Province was turbulent, but things were calm here in Wu Gen. He spent his whole day fishing and playing with the dogs, and writing letters to Lu Qing from time to time, asking for supplies and military supplies.
Nowadays, there are not even any rabbits to be seen in the Mao'er Ridge area. They have all been eaten up by Niu Chao and his group of wolf mastiffs who never know when they are full.
Now that the horses of the Fearless Army are finally familiar with these evil beasts, they are not as afraid as before. Under the leadership of Wan Yi, the Rebel Army traveled around every day to collect information on the movements of various families.
Now the Lu family, the Ba family, the Qiulin family, and even the Murong family are all gathered in the Yediyuan area, with more than 70,000 troops.
This is already an extremely huge force. Unless the Ji family mobilizes guards from all over the country, it will be difficult for the Ji family to gain much numerical advantage with only the southern and northern armies.
Wu Gen sat by the river and read the secret letter Zhang Wuyang had just sent. After reading it, I stretched out my hand and patted it, and the letter was reduced to pieces.
"It seems that the Lu family will summon me to Yediyuan soon." Wu Gen sat up lazily, playing with the broken knife in his hand.
"Master, should we move here? After you leave, I'm afraid some people will take advantage of you." Zhang Wuyang looked at the direction of the camp in the distance and suggested in a low voice.
"Don't move for now. As long as we stay here honestly, they won't jump out. After all, we are here according to the Lu family's military orders." Wu Gen rested his elbows on his knees and kept rubbing his chin. ,
"You have more contact with Li Qi in the past two days. He has a list."
"Master, I always feel gloomy and uncomfortable with this man." Zhang Wuyang added a cup of tea for Wu Gen and placed it on the low table at his feet.
"Haha, everyone has their own secrets. He has become a Que Shu man, so he is a little different from ordinary people. After a few days, I will have a good talk with him." Wu Gen took a sip of tea, and suddenly I saw a fish biting the hook,
"Haha, fish caught."
"Qianhu." Lu Ben's shout came from a distance. He arrived in front of Wu Gen in a few steps and handed over a letter.
"Master of the village, the young master has sent a letter, asking you to go to Yediyuan to participate in the military meeting." This is the current situation of the Fearless Army. All liaison matters with Lu Lie are handled by Lu Ben. Wu Gen, a thousand households, is only indirectly responsible for this. Follow orders.
Standing up from the chair, Wu Gen unfolded the letter and browsed it hastily. The letter only stated that military affairs would be discussed at Yediyuan Camp in three days. The letter finally proposed whether Wu Gen and Lu Ben should go together or go together. It is up to the two of them to leave Lu Ben here.
Wu Gen smiled slightly, handed the letter to Zhang Wuyang beside him, and said to Lu Bi: "Supervisor, you decide whether you stay, or you and I go together."
"I think it would be best for the two of us to go together. After all, the Fearless Army is just stationed here and there is no big war." Lu Ben thought for a while and decided to go together.
Wu Gen laughed in his heart. This guy was afraid that he would have too much contact with Lu Lie and take away his favor, so he insisted on going to the camp with him.
"Okay, then the two of us will go together. With the supervisors here, I feel more at ease." Wu Gen laughed loudly and took Lu Ben away, which was exactly what he wanted.
"We just happened to catch a fish, so we might as well eat here." As he said that, Wu Gen asked Niu Chao, who was having fun in the water, to come ashore, scale the fish he just caught, put it into a pot, and make a pot of fish soup.
Niu Chao cursed and climbed onto the shore. Under the threat of Wu Gen's eyes, he cooked the fish soup and handed a bowl to Wu Gen.
He took another bowl and wiped it with the corner of his clothes before filling it with soup and passing it to Lu Ben. Lu Ben was also quite happy to see Niu Chao respecting him so much.
This guy is well-known throughout the army as a knife-thrower. Except for Wu Gen who can give orders, anyone else who comes to him will only bring humiliation to themselves.
Three days later, Wu Gen and Lu Ben arrived at the Yediyuan coalition military tent. Looking down from the air, you can see endless horses galloping on this wide grassland, and the tents are connected one after another, as if they stretch to the end of the sky.
After circling in a circle, Wu Gen flew towards the largest tent on his Danghu Bird. When he landed in the open space, someone came up to question him.
Lu Ben jumped off the bird. He knew many people here, so he greeted them quickly and led Wu Gen into the camp.
Upon entering the camp, there was a huge handsome desk facing it, with two long rows of chairs on both sides. The chairs near the handsome desk were obviously much more elegantly decorated.
Wu Gen and Lu Ben were led to the back, huddled together with a group of thousands of households, and huddled in a corner.
But even so, he was still as eye-catching as a torch in the huge camp. Because he was the only human being in the big tent.
These people came and went, looking at Wu Gen with disdain. The dazzling gaze made Lu Ben a little unbearable. He got up and went to chat with someone familiar with the Lu family to avoid such an embarrassing situation.
Wu Gen didn't care, and looked at the people around him with curiosity. These people's armors were of different shapes, and they were obviously from different families.
"Wu Gen, right?" Suddenly a tall and thin man walked up to Wu Gen. He seemed to be in his thirties or forties.
"I am Bu Kuan, the governor of the Lu family." Wu Gen blinked. This is Bu Qiyin's father. He may also be Ye Ziming's father-in-law in the future. He stood up quickly and said,
"The boy has long heard of Zhenfu's reputation."
"Haha, Qiyin told me about you." Bu Kuan looked a little strange and patted Wu Gen's shoulder lightly.
"Don't worry, no one can be rude to you as long as I'm here." After saying this, Wu Gen turned around and walked to a chair near the handsome case, and cupped his hands to the surroundings without waiting for a reply.
After a while, there was a commotion outside the tent. Lu Lie walked into the tent chatting and laughing with a few people, and the tent suddenly became quiet.
Wu Gen took a look and found that he knew a few of these people. In addition to Lu Lie, there was also Ba Hong and Murong Yuqiang.
Murong Yuqiang glanced at Wu Gen and walked past expressionlessly, as if she didn't recognize him. As for Lu Lie, he didn't even look at Wu Gen. He walked straight to the handsome case and sat down.
"Everyone, today is the first major meeting of our coalition forces, and more than a thousand households are participating. Today is mainly a discussion. After each family head goes to Zhaoqin City, the next move of our army. Please speak freely, without restraint. ." Lu Lie sat carelessly behind the handsome case, quite high-spirited. This was the first time for him to lead so many people, so he couldn't help but be a little excited.
The so-called big discussion was more about satisfying his need to show off. As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the tent. Now that all the family heads have gone to Zhaoqin City, communication with each other is not smooth, and it is not convenient to express their opinions at will.
After an awkward silence, no one in the tent made a sound. But Bu Kuan stood up and supported his young master on the table.
"My current plan is to put stability first. At present, the family leader has not updated the military order, so our army might as well stay put. According to the news from various places, the guards have not mobilized on a large scale, but have only sent reinforcements to Hanlu City. Ten thousand troops indicate that the situation has not changed significantly. However, we can pay attention to the movements of the Northern and Southern armies in case of emergencies." As he started, more people spoke up, saying that they should act prudently and be iron-clad. The situation in the mobile phone industry is not that bad yet.
Wu Gen sneered in his heart when he heard this. What kind of military discussion was this? It was nonsense. Everyone knows that we need to be stable, and we don't need to completely destroy our reputation, just create momentum.
Seeing spittle flying in the tent, Wu Gen turned around and asked Lu Ben quietly,
"Who are the people sitting next to the young master?"
"Oh." Looking at Wu Gen's rustic look, Lu Bi looked slightly pleased, pointing to the few people near Shuai An and introducing,
"You know Bu Zhenfu and the young master of the Ba family, and the young master of the Murong family. The remaining people are Qiu Linhe, the young master of the Qiulin family, and the Zhenfus of the three families, namely Ba Yueze and Murong Zhenfu. Fu Lixin, the Qiu Lin family suppresses Qiu Linzhi. This time the other three families are led by the young master to suppress and fu, which can be said to have gathered the best soldiers of each family. With these 70,000 people here, who dares to make a move."
"It's amazing." Wu Gen raised his thumb and looked at the people in the tent one by one. On this occasion, it was not the turn of a small human clan like myself to speak out.
Everyone was noisy for a long time, each saying something special. We were all members of the coalition, and there was no distinction between superior and inferior. It was just a formality.
Wu Gen was nodding the heads in the tent, calculating the required number of troops, when suddenly a man said: "That human boy, Wu, look at your sly eyebrows, but you don't have any good ideas." When he mentioned the word "high ideas", he deliberately emphasized it. Tone.
Wu Gen turned his head and saw that the person speaking was Qiu Linzhi, who was looking at him with a playful expression. The tent was quiet for a while, and many people looked at Wu Gen with ill intentions. They had no choice, because he was the only one here who didn't have a tail.
Lu Ben's face looked a little ugly, and he quickly lowered his head and stayed away from Wu Gen. Lu Lie also looked a little unnatural. It was his first time leading so many people. These senior governors looked at him respectfully, but they still looked down on him.
That's how it is in the military. It's not just the position you sit in that makes subordinates obey you. Being able to fight is the way to go. Otherwise, these old guys are not afraid of stumbling upon you and making you disgraced.
"Wu Gen, you have stayed at Ji's house and fought many battles, so let's talk about it." Seeing that Wu Gen didn't get up, Lu Lie could only say aloud, but in his heart he scolded Qiu Linzhi for this beating. Dogs have to respect their owners. The other party is using Wu Gen to make a fool of himself to humiliate him.
Wu Gen stood up carelessly, cupped his hands to the surrounding people, and said loudly: "Everyone, I would like to ask you what is the intention of the army gathering here and eating the horse's chews? Could it be that you are taking everyone out to relax."
"How dare you speak like that?"
"As expected, he is a lowly clan and is extremely vulgar." There was a sound of scolding all around. Wu Gen had the lowest status here. Even a cat or a dog could bark at him twice.
Qiu Linzhi pressed his hand down to signal everyone to be quiet. Wu Gen's words were really difficult to accept. The four coalition forces were here to intimidate the Ji family. They could do it, but they couldn't say it.
"At this time of turmoil, we are gathered here just to scare Xiao Xiao and prevent the situation in the Iron Shou Province from deteriorating. Your name is Wu Gen, right? You don't have to talk, just say what you think." Qiu Linzhi said coldly. , the murderous intent in his eyes was clearly revealed.
"Excuse me, Zhen Fu, where does the chaos come from?" Wu Gen looked at the other party with a leisurely expression.
"Chaos breaks out in the city."
"Since the chaos started in the city, why don't you go to the city? Wouldn't you be more able to subdue Xiao Xiao?" The tent gradually became noisy, and everyone was either gloating about the misfortune or whispering.
There is nothing new in Wu Gen's statement, it just expresses what everyone is hiding in their hearts.
"Nonsense, the situation is still controllable, how can we march at will." Lu Lie shouted loudly. At this moment, someone rushed in regardless of etiquette and announced that someone from Zhaoqin City was here and asked to see Lu Lie.
