At night, Wu Gen found a secluded tent. Bao Xiang, Zhang Wuyang, Meng Shun and others all attended. Some wine and food were placed in the tent, ready to discuss while eating.
Lu Ben arrived as promised, brought two of his subordinates, and sat on the main seat. He looked at the wine on the table and said with an unhappy look on his face: "The war is about to begin. Alcohol is banned in the army and no one is allowed to drink anymore." He glanced at Wu Gen with meaning.
Wu Gen smiled slightly and put down his wine bowl.
Niu Chao carefully filled a bowl of soup, glanced at Wu Gen, but turned around and handed it to Lu Ben. The latter took it with satisfaction and waved his hand, "Let's all drink some, and we'll discuss it while we eat."
Wu Gen filled a bowl for himself, blew on it and drank it. Several people also took action and each took a bowl.
Lu Ben nodded, carefully blew away the film on the soup, took a sip, and frowned, "This soup has a strange smell, Niu Chao, you need to be more careful when cooking in the future." He raised his head as he spoke. Drink it all.
"Everyone, during this military meeting, the clan has decided to use troops against the Ji family. The task of our fearless army is to harass other families who may be reinforcing from the south. I have very few troops and cannot be placed in such an open place. Starting tomorrow, the entire army will Pull out the stronghold, return to Mao'erling, and defend the dangerous pass." Lu Bi sat upright and loudly announced his first military order after taking up the post of governor.
There was silence in the tent, everyone looked straight at Lu Ben, even Niu Chao stared intently.
"What are you looking at..." Lu Ben suddenly frowned and felt a cramp in his abdomen. His body's energy and blood were rushing around uncontrollably, and he was unable to use any of his cultivation skills.
"What's going on?" Lu Ben was sweating profusely, with blood gushing from his mouth and nose. He covered his stomach with his hands and watched Zhang Wuyang and Bao Xiang break the necks of two of their men. "You actually... dare to poison me. "
"You idiot, you really think that my food is so delicious. I have given you this poison a long time ago. I am just afraid that you will find out that you have used less. It accumulates little by little, plus The medicine you drank today is enough to kill a stupid ass like you." Niu Chao took out a black cloth bag and walked to Lu Ben fiercely, "Boy, don't take the porcelain job without a diamond. With your small body, how dare you Running wild in the fearless army is getting boring."
"You...you dare to rebel, you will die without a burial place." Lu Ben panted, "If you give me the antidote, our matter this time will be wiped out."
Suddenly, he gathered up his last bit of strength and ran towards the tent on one side.
Bang bang bang, Bao Xiang, Zhang Wuyang and Meng Shun attacked at the same time, knocking Lu Ben heavily to the ground. His Qihai aura was in chaos, and he had already lost the ability to resist.
"Wu Gen, please, let me go. As long as you spare my life, I will never say anything about this incident and will never interfere in military affairs again." Lu Ben managed to raise his head, tears streaming down his face. A lot of soil, begged. 33
Several people in the room looked at Wu Gen. He just picked up the wine bottle on the table and silently walked out of the tent.
"Boy, accept your fate." Seeing Wu Gen leaving, Niu Chao put the bag on Lu Ben's head with a grin, stepped on it into the soil, picked up an ax and smashed it down.
There were several dull sounds in the tent, mixed with some low whines.
Wu Gen walked out of the tent, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the stars in the sky. After a while, Baoxiang came out, with a few blood stains on his sleeves, "It's over."
"Yes." Wu Gen nodded and turned to look into the darkness, "Li Qi, let's do it tonight. Cooperate with Baoxiang and the others to clean up the army."
"As ordered." Li Qi squeezed out of the darkness, holding his dagger in his hand.
Wu Gen asked Niu Chao to find a deck chair and place it in the middle of the camp. He sat on it, holding a pot and drinking while looking up at the sky.
In the originally quiet camp, there were many people coming and going, and shouts were heard from time to time, but they quickly disappeared.
Such situations occurred in all three parts. Many soldiers had panic in their eyes, wondering why some of the people around them were suddenly captured by the law enforcement team or killed on the spot.
Someone saw the figure in the middle of the camp, looking at the young man looking at the sky with a knife, and finally calmed down. If the leader doesn't panic, there will be no chaos.
The commotion lasted for an hour, and the camp gradually became quiet. The smell of blood was everywhere, and a car was pulling the body toward the distant plain.
Zhang Wuyang rushed to Wu Gen's side with murderous intent. Looking at the motionless figure holding a knife, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. This is how the mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his appearance. The leader of the village really has the appearance of a general.
"Fortress leader, it's over." Zhang Wuyang reported in a low voice, but Wu Gen remained motionless, so he had to raise his voice and call again, "Fortress leader?"
"Oh, so fast." Wu Gen wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said sleepily, "Send more people to patrol tonight to appease the soldiers in the camp. No, I have to go to sleep for a while. These days Those who were on tenterhooks in the coalition camp did not get a good night's sleep."
Looking at the strolling back, Zhang Wuyang's face turned dark, so he had to turn around and arrange the night patrol.
Early on the next morning, Wu Gen summoned the generals above the village commander and informed them that the coalition forces led by the Lu family had rebelled, and that a large army would probably be dispatched within the next two days.
Upon hearing the news suddenly, everyone present was shocked, especially Tu Dan, who stared at Wu Gen in stunned expression, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Everyone, the war has begun. As a guest army, our fearless army will start from the Lu family or help the Ji family to fight against rebellion. You can tell me." Wu Gen held a broken knife in his hand and looked at everyone with a smile.
Until this time, these people finally knew why so many people died in the camp last night.
"We listen to Qianhu." Some people have noticed that Lu Ben is missing from the camp today, and their thoughts are changing quickly, so they have already agreed.
Soon, almost everyone spoke up and expressed their attitude.
"Okay, I decided to help the Ji family suppress the rebellion." Wu Gen looked calm and glanced around, "Of course, if you don't want to, you can just raise it. Don't worry, as long as you raise it here today, I will not embarrass everyone, and I will also A sum of money will be given as a gift.”
There was silence in the tent, and even people's breathing could be heard clearly. Everyone remained silent, but many people secretly glanced at a corner.
Suddenly, there was a sound of sobbing, Lu Yuan looked pale, walked out of the corner, and stood in front of Wu Gen.
"Master of the village, is the head of the Lu family still alive?" Lu Yuan wiped his tears and asked in panic.
Wu Gen pondered for a moment and put the knife in his hand on the table in front of him, "How could the Ji family tolerate him if he did such a wrong thing? He should be dead by now."
Lu Lie was in despair and his body was swaying. After a long time, he murmured: "Captain, I am from the Lu family. My uncle raised me, so I will never betray him. But if I are allowed to go against the Fearless Army, , I don’t want to go against the Ji family.
Once his uncle leaves like this, Lu Lie will definitely be in charge of the Lu family. My cousin has been arrogant and arrogant since he was a child. He is easy to make money when he is small, and he will retaliate for his anger. If the Lu family falls into his hands, there will be no doubt that they will be defeated. I would like to resign from the position of music director and become an ordinary commoner. I only ask the village master to spare my life. "
Wu Gen stood up, with a gentle look on his face, and gently held Lu Yuan's arm, "Don't worry, I can let you participate in this meeting, just because I don't want to harm you. Otherwise, you would have lost your head and body last night.
Remember, you are you, and the Lu family is the Lu family. The two are completely different. You have made great contributions to the Fearless Army, and everyone sees it, so after resigning, you can stay in peace and no one dares to touch you. When the war is over, I will find a place for you to go. "
"Thank you, village master." Lu Yuan burst into tears, took a step back, and bowed to Wu Gen.
"Okay, let's go and have a rest for now." Wu Gen winked at Baoxiang, who quickly helped Lu Yuan out.
When the tent became quiet, Wu Gen turned around and walked to the table, reached out and grabbed the knife on the table, and looked at everyone in the tent, "Everyone, since everyone is willing to follow me, let's make a big fight. Don't worry, I have already made contact with the Ji family.
However, after this account, if anyone still dares to be half-hearted, this is the table. "As he spoke, Wu Gen raised his knife and chopped the table in front of him into two halves.
"I will follow you to the death." Soon someone responded, followed by another series of voices.
"Okay." Wu Gen put his sword into its sheath and returned to his seat in one step. "When everyone goes back, be ready for the expedition immediately. Don't bring too much food, just five days' worth. When our army arrives on the battlefield, we will There will be supplies.”
Wu Gen turned to look at Zhang Wuyang, "When will the servant army arrive?"
"For the record, the leader of the village, I sent a letter to Zhuo Ke last night. They will arrive in four days." Zhang Wuyang answered with an cupped hand.
"We won't wait for them anymore. Just leave a few people to take care of them." Wu Gen waved his hand and looked at Meng Ling. "When will the Wen family's ship arrive?"
"My subordinates have contacted the Wen family, and their boats will gather at the ferry tomorrow morning." Meng Ling's face was slightly red. He had been negotiating with the Wen family in the past few days according to Wu Gen's secret order, and he just returned the day before yesterday. I was extremely excited to be awarded this important task by Wu Gen. "Master of the village, although the Wen family promised to send us a boat, we can't believe it."
"This is Ji Ye's contact. I don't know if it is reliable or not. We just have to wait until noon tomorrow. If the ship doesn't come, it means that the Wen family has also rebelled. The whole army will set off from the land immediately, and at the same time tell Zhuo Ke and others to take a detour. "Wu Gen looked serious and explained the arrangements for tomorrow.
"Fortress Master, I have a question. When my three thousand fearless troops arrive in Hanlu City, who will they meet up with and who will they command? Should they form an independent army or fight together? We can communicate in advance to avoid poor coordination," Meng Shun said. The side said seriously.
Wu Gen nodded with satisfaction and rubbed his chin. Meng Shun was worthy of being a military leader. He got to the point with a few words, "Of course we are meeting with the Xingshan Fearless Army. We are not commanded by anyone, but the commander." The entire Northern Army belongs directly to Ji Ye. As for the running-in issue, don't worry, you will know when the time comes that the Xingshan Fearless Army is not much different from here."
Tudan and others were a little surprised and whispered to each other. I had long known that the leader of his village had created an army before coming to Panshi Road, but he didn't expect that the two families would merge and directly join the Ji family's Northern Army.
"If possible, please ask the leader of the village to let the main generals of the two armies meet. Although they are both under the same commander, it is better to communicate and assign their respective responsibilities. If the two armies suddenly merge, there will definitely be various problems." Meng Shun still had a serious face and suggested loudly.
"This is what a grown man says, and it should be like this. When the time comes, we will call the generals of the two armies to meet and clarify again." Wu Gen agreed, and the words of the veteran general should still be listened to. To be honest, although I am full of confidence, I can't help but feel apprehensive when I think of commanding so many people and participating in such a battle for the first time, so I naturally follow the advice.
"Master of the village, I also have to lead a few people to play." Niu Chao poked his head at the side.
"Just take your dog son with you, and listen to Captain Bao." Wu Gen glared at the boy, "After this battle is over, if you perform well, hand over your mastiffs and wolves to Niu Ye, and I will do whatever you want. You will be the leader of the Eight Riders of Lingyun."
"Okay." Niu Chao agreed happily, but he immediately reacted and shouted: "That's only eight people, no, village leader, I suggest that Lingyun's Eight Thousand Cavalry be changed to Lingyun's Eight Thousand Cavalry."
"Shut up." Wu Gen said sadly. Knowing that Wu Gen was about to lose his temper, Niu Chao had no choice but to mutter and shut his uncontrollable mouth.
Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Wu Gen pointed to the returning Bao Xiang and loudly said: "In this battle, I will command two fearless armies. The troops and horses here are all under the control of Bao Xiaowei. But you all understand."
"clear."
"Okay, let's disperse and make preparations individually." Wu Gen ended the military meeting with a wave of his hand.
After everything was arranged, Wu Gen was humming a little tune and sharpening his broken knife. Suddenly someone reported that Tu Dan asked to see him.
Some people died, but not completely...
