In the small tent, Bu Kuan ordered someone to take out the sand table that had been made in advance, and everyone gathered around it.
"Young Master, please see, Hanlu City is located between me and Zhaoqin City. In addition to the defenders in the city, there are also northern and southern armies located in Jumayuan and Xingshan areas respectively. Our army went to Zhaoqin City, and the Ji family One part intercepts my advance, one part cuts off the rear, and another city blocks my advance. It is bound to be difficult for me to advance.
My idea is not to attack Zhaoqin City, but to fight the Ji family in Hanlu City. As long as this city is captured, I believe that various families who are dissatisfied with the restructuring will also start revolts. At that time, we will decide whether to keep the Ji family or not.
If we want to attack Hanlu City, we must first defeat the Northern and Southern armies. The Southern armies are numerous and led by veteran generals, so it may not be easy to fight. The Northern Army was new, and Xingshan and Hanlu City were three hundred miles apart, so it was easier to fight. If I use part of my troops to resist the Southern Army and the reinforcements in Hanlu City, and concentrate my forces to defeat the Northern Army, the Ji family will lose a pillar.
Besides, young master, don’t forget, we still have Wu Gen. He brought out most of the people in the Northern Army. When the time comes to face the old people, I am afraid that many Northern Army officers and soldiers will defect before the battle. "
Lu Lie thought for a while and frowned, "That's what I said, but Wu Gen is cunning and he is familiar with Ji Ye, so his father arranged for him to be in the south, away from the main battlefield, with Xingshan Separate them and use them as the flanks of our army."
"Haha, young master, you don't have to be so worried. Just imagine, none of us here are familiar with someone from the Ji family. As far as the young master is concerned, isn't he also on good terms with Ji Ye? At our status, personal friendship is Personal friendship and righteousness are righteousness, how can they be inseparable.
As far as I know, Wu Gen was quite dissatisfied with the Ji family's seizure of power and wanted to take back the Xingshan Fearless Army. Just transfer him over to face the Northern Army. It may have a miraculous effect. "Bu Kuan smiled slightly and signaled Lu Lie not to worry.
"Okay, let's talk about Wu Gen later. At worst, I will transfer him to the army alone, and the fearless army will be handed over to Lu Bi. In this case, he won't be able to jump without the troops." Lu Lie waved his hand and looked at Han carefully. The terrain near Lucheng.
"Young master, you don't have to be like this. There are three thousand fearless troops, and the army has not been formed for a long time, and has not fought many battles. To put it harshly, if he leads the troops to rebel, how many waves can he cause. If it doesn't work, just promote Lu Ben. With him as the leader and Wu Gen as the deputy, he will add another chain to the Fearless Army.
On this occasion of employment, it would be better to keep Wu Gen in the Fearless Army. "Bu Kuan quickly tried to persuade him, and deprived Wu Gen of his military power just like the Ji family. Believe it or not, he turned around and ran away.
"Okay, after my army is launched, I will move the Fearless Army northward." Lu Lie thought about it and tried his best to recruit people, so as not to end up in vain due to improper handling.
Bu Kuan nodded and pointed to Hanlu City on the sand table, "Currently this city is guarded by Ji Chen. He is not good at leading troops, and I heard that the four townsmen of the Ji family, Fu and Ji Ye, have gone to Zhaoqin City. . Our army might as well launch a detailed operation to see if Ji Ye or the Four Town Fus have returned from Zhaoqin City. If these people return to the army, it will prove that the Ji family has murderous intentions, and I need to be fully prepared."
Lu Lie glanced at Hanlu City on the sand table and said with disdain: "Ji Ye has never had great ambitions and has never led an army. It would be better if he doesn't come back. If he leads the Northern and Southern armies, it will be easy for us.
As for Ji Chen, he is a loser, working as a tinker all day long, cleaning up his father's mess. However, these four town governors have long had a reputation and must be dealt with with caution. But Bu Zhenfu is right, we still need to inquire about the other party's situation. Only by knowing ourselves and the other side can we win the battle. "
"One more thing. The four families of our alliance have no priority over each other. They must establish an alliance leader to avoid having to send orders to multiple gates and constrain them. This is a taboo in the army. It just so happens that several families are here, so we might as well set up an alliance leader. A charter." Bu Kuan finally said what everyone was most concerned about.
Who should be the leader among the 70,000 people? This not only involves the question of who is the leader, but more importantly, if the victory is a lucky one, the distribution of the victory will be different accordingly.
For a moment, the four people present were a little silent. To be honest, everyone who came here at the invitation of the Lu family did not expect to be in such a situation and need to meet the Ji family in battle.
Originally, they were just planning to show off to the Ji family and take advantage of the change of family head to force the next head of the family to withdraw the order of restructuring. Now that the troops are suddenly about to be sent out, and the vital interests of the family are involved, they will naturally be cautious.
"Whoever sends more soldiers will be the leader of the alliance. What's the difficulty?" Qiu Linhe saw everyone was silent and sneered from the side. He glanced at the Ba family and the Murong family. This time, the Qiulin family and the Lu family had the largest number of people, so he naturally had the confidence to say such a thing.
Bahong raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but he held back and glanced at his own Zhenfu.
Ba Yueze understood the idea and said slowly: "A general should understand astronomy, know the strange gates, know the yin and yang, know the strength of the army, and command the troops. I think it is better to choose a good general for him. After all, there are tens of thousands of people." Our lives are at stake, and the fates of several families are at stake. It would be absurd to think that we have too many soldiers but too few."
Lu Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a flash of light in his eyes. He had always been familiar with Bahong, but he didn't expect that he would be held back today. You must know that this place is close to your own territory, and it is very easy to recruit troops. It is natural to be the leader of the alliance, but I did not expect that the Ba family also has such ambitions. 33
"Haha, that means only the Ba family has good generals. But who decides the good generals? On what basis, appearance, age, it's nonsense." Qiu Linhe was furious for a moment, pointed at Murong Yuqiang and said: "If it doesn't matter the number of soldiers, , can the Murong family also be the leader of the alliance?"
Murong Yuqiang looked slightly startled. Among all the families here, her own family had the smallest number, with only five thousand people. He had no intention of competing for supremacy, but he didn't expect Qiu Linhe to point the finger at himself. He couldn't help but look sulky, and he stepped forward and said proudly, "Why not? For generals, those who are good at fighting will live here. Although I, Murong, have a small family, The war is never inferior to that of the Qiulin family."
"Forget it, you Murong family are arguing with the Ji family. It's possible that they are spies sent by the Ji family. If it weren't for the sake of the overall situation, I would have asked Brother Lu to drive you away." Qiu Linheyi With a sinister smile on his face, he looked at Murong Yuqiang's body maliciously.
Li Xin took a step forward and blocked the other party's aggressive gaze, "Young Master Qiulin, please respect yourself."
Murong Yu raised her head, and her long, disheveled hair made ripples in circles, "Although my Murong family and the Ji family are related by marriage, there are few marriages between the various families, and will it prevent them from fighting each other? If I have any connection with the Ji family, I will The Murong family will still be here, wouldn't it be better to just sit and watch you fight to death?"
"Who knows, your family has been known as the old fox for a long time. He is not good at fighting, but he is quite good at playing dirty tricks. Be careful. Your father can marry your sister to the Ji family, and he might also give you as a gift. Someone." Qiu Linhe looked disdainful. Although he also knew that the vital interests of his family were involved, and the possibility of the Murong family colluding with the Ji family was extremely small, he just looked at this little hen who had a cold face all day long and was proud to the core. dislike; despise.
"Qiu Linhe, you are so presumptuous." Murong Yuqiang was furious and pointed outside the tent, "How about we go outside and compete."
"Who is afraid of whom?" Qiu Linhe naturally refused to be outdone and turned around to prepare to leave the tent.
"Okay, you are young masters, not street gangsters." Lu Lie couldn't bear it anymore, shouted to stop the two of them, shook his head and sat in his seat, "Wait two days, and two more allies will arrive. Therefore, it will not be too late to discuss the alliance leader at that time, and our military strength will definitely far exceed that of the Ji family."
After experiencing the dispute just now, everyone felt a little bored for a while.
Seeing his young master sitting there, staring up at the roof without saying a word, Bu Kuan felt really helpless. These people came here at their own request. At this time, it is even more important to come out and suppress the situation instead of sitting there doing nothing. Otherwise, no one will be willing to listen to you in the future.
"Young Master, how about we send someone to inquire about the situation in Hanlu City before making a decision." Bu Kuan took a step forward and raised his eyes to indicate to his Young Master.
Only then did Lu Lie suddenly realize. He cheered up and said to everyone in the tent: "That's all for today's discussion. Please don't spread the word about my father to avoid disturbing the morale of the army."
Several families agreed and left the small tent in twos and threes.
When the generals in the big tent saw their young master coming back, they quickly gathered out of the big tent and returned to their own camps.
Wu Gen blinked and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he could only whisper to Lu Bi: "Supervisor, you might as well go and find out what happened. If things change, we should make preparations in advance to avoid mistakes. A major event for the clan."
Lu Ben glanced at Wu Gen, but his expression was a little unhappy. Today, because he was sitting next to Wu Gen, he received a lot of looks. Those who are familiar with him in the clan all had mocking looks on their faces. It was just like sitting on pins and needles.
After hearing this, Lu Ben got up and walked behind the tent just in time to get rid of Wu Gen.
Feeling bored, Wu Gen left the tent and walked around. Wandering to a small tent, the place was heavily guarded, with soldiers from the Lu family standing on the three floors inside and outside.
As soon as they approached, a man who looked like an officer shouted loudly, "This is an important place in the army. If you have nothing to do, please leave quickly."
Wu Gen took out his Qianhu seal, shook it, and said loudly: "Boy, look at it, I am the Qianhu of the Fearless Army, maybe you want to stop me too."
The officer glanced at Wu Gen with disdain and said with shame, "No one is allowed to enter without the military orders of the young master and the governor."
"Hey, you are quite a tough guy. You don't understand the dignity of others. Who is your Qianhu family? I won't find him to blame." Wu Gen glared and pointed at the other party.
Ahem, two coughs came from the small tent, and soon someone came into the tent carrying medicinal soup.
"Ah, there are patients inside. If you had told me earlier, it would have been bad if I got sick." Wu Gen didn't wait for a reply, covered his mouth and nose, turned around and left.
"A lowly human race who has grown up like a monkey, really thinks he can yell in front of me even though he is a member of a thousand households." The indignant voice of an officer came from behind.
Wu Gen seemed to have not heard anything, lowered his head and walked towards the big tent. Since he had confirmed that Jia Kui in the tent was fine, he was ready to return to the Fearless Army when Lu Ben came out.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the tent, he saw Lu Ben hurriedly walked out. When he saw Wu Gen, he said with a serious face, "Wu Qianhu, the young master has ordered that you are not allowed to leave the camp for these two days. And." At this point. At this point, Lu Ben paused slightly and said, "The clan will fine-tune the personnel of the Fearless Army. You will stay here safely for the next few days and don't cause trouble."
Wu Gen was stunned. This person seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person, with a more bossy air. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile on his face: "Young master has given orders, so of course he won't leave without permission. Anyway, he has food and drink. But you can always go out for a walk in the camp, otherwise you will be suffocated."
Lu Ben also knew that Wu Gen was born in the year of the Monkey, so if he stayed in the tent, nothing would happen. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "If you can't leave the camp, you can walk around in the camp."
Wu Gen had a displeased look on his face. He saw many guards suddenly added to the tent, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "There was something going on in the tent just now. Why did it feel like the army suddenly became nervous."
Lu Ben glanced at Wu Gen and said, "I'll let you know what I need to know. Don't ask around, that's not good." After saying that, he turned around and returned to the tent, leaving Wu Gen alone outside.
Wu Gen smiled coldly, turned around and returned to his tent.
At night, Wu Gen was sitting quietly in his tent. Suddenly, a figure flashed outside the tent, and a sealed wax pill rolled down at his feet.
Some people died, but not completely...
