On Zhulu Ridge, Wu Gen sat in his camp, looking at the growing hole in the thick fog above his head. There are birds hovering in this cave, like a black ring in the blue sky.
This scene is like the legendary eye of a hurricane on the sea. It is a peaceful place in the midst of turmoil, where a large number of birds naturally gather.
After twisting his sore neck, Wu Gen rested his head on his arms and lay down. On Zhulu Ridge today, both the Northern and Southern armies are working hard to clear away the clusters of silver arrows hidden deep in the ground and in the vegetation, hoping to open up passages in and out as soon as possible to prepare for the final decisive battle. Everyone was busy, but he had nothing to do.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a black dot fell from the hole, getting bigger and bigger, and it turned out to be a shuttle. Suoji and Qiaoban jumped off the shuttle and came to Wu Gen's side.
"Fortress leader, you saw that group of people." Suoji spoke first: "Coming from north to south, they stopped at the edge of Uling City. They should be replenishing food and grass."
"Wuling City? Ji Bi's city?" Wu Gen sat up all of a sudden.
"Exactly." Soji nodded.
Looking at the two groups of ants fighting over food on the ground, Wu Gen lowered his head and thought for a long time, "It's bad, Ji Bi must have rebelled, and the guards in the north are not in good shape. Otherwise, how could the guards pass by with so many troops and horses?" no response."
"Didn't that old boy Ji Bi go to Zhaoqin City?" Suo Ji was a little confused.
Wu Gen did not answer, but asked: "Look from the air, how many people are there in these people?"
"About seventy or eighty thousand." Suoji made a rough estimate. "The team is very long. They must have traveled a long distance to get here, so the formation is a bit loose."
"Hiss." Wu Gen took a breath. With 70,000 to 80,000 troops and the coalition forces on the opposite side, this battle would be difficult. "Call Yang Zheng, Hu Jia and others. We may have to attack as soon as possible. If Otherwise, our army will have a small number of people and will have to fight on two fronts, making this battle impossible."
Soon, Bao Xiang, Hu Jia, Xue Xin and others rushed over. They did not enter the tent and sat down in a circle next to the shuttle. Only Yang Zheng was not present.
"Where's Yang Zheng?" Wu Gen turned his head and glanced.
Zhuo Ke quickly reported: "Yang Hou is collecting some information and should be arriving soon."
Wu Gen waved his hand, "Don't wait for him, Suo Ji, tell me the information."
Suoji quickly told what he saw in the air. After listening, everyone looked a little nervous.
Hu Jia counted on his fingers and said, "Captain, according to what Suo Ji said, these people will arrive in Hanlu City in three days at the earliest, and if it takes another four days, we are not ready to attack yet. Get ready, what should we do?"
Wu Gen looked around and said with a stern expression: "For the current plan, our military needs to quickly launch an attack on the coalition forces. Tell the brothers, don't think about pulling out all the arrow clusters around the camp, first concentrate on clearing out a line of arrows. The passage leading outside Yiwu. The same goes for the Southern Army. Please hurry up and clean it up, and advance the attack date."
"Should I tell Ji Ye about someone's attack on Hanlu City?" Hu Jia reminded from the side.
"Don't tell him yet, but he will know sooner or later. We have to get entangled with the enemy as soon as possible so that he has no time to care." Wu Gen glanced at Nan Bian and said in a deep voice, and after thinking for a while, he added: "Just in case In case, I have to go to Hanlu City and ask for a military order from Ji Chen, strictly instructing the Southern Army not to return for rescue."
"When are you going?" Baoxiang asked from the side.
"The military situation is urgent. Let's go today." Wu Gen took out his Zhenfu badge from his arms and handed it to Baoxiang. "While I'm gone, keep an eye on me. If a fighter appears, don't wait for me. Except for Zu Yuantong and Ji Dai, all the others attacked.
Hu Jia will inform me from Yue and explain my intentions, and he will take action as appropriate. Also, I told Ji Ye last time that his Yan divisions are of no use for the time being. They will all come over today to join the Rebel Army. If the battle is unfavorable somewhere, they will throw the flying thunder down. "
Baoxiang didn't hesitate. Anyway, the army had long been accustomed to it. As soon as Wu Gen left, he should take the lead. "Okay, hurry up and come back quickly. Who are you going to take to Hanlu City?"
"Just bring Yang Zheng with you, and use this shuttle."
Nowadays, the Northern Army mostly uses flying shuttles when going out for reconnaissance. Because they are equipped with snake eagles, they have a means of resisting when encountering masters.
At this moment, Yang Zheng hurried over from a distance, the meat on his belly trembling as he ran. When everyone approached, Yang Zheng wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Captain, we just got some information. One was sent by Ba Hong. He said that he had tried to persuade Gu Yangsi several times, but the other party was unwilling to remove the fog. Now I suddenly decided to prepare to remove the fog the day after tomorrow.
The second one was sent by Murong Yuqiang. Her father had ordered all the 30,000 elite members of the family to come out. 10,000 horses met her outside Huali City, and the other 20,000 horses rushed directly to Hanlu City. "
Wu Gen and Hu Jia looked at each other and sighed, "The Murong family is too late, so don't worry about it. It's better than nothing. Yang Zheng, come with me to see Ji Jing. After the meeting, we will go to Hanlu City." .”
"There are people coming from the north." Yang Zheng reacted immediately.
"That's right. Since the coalition forces are about to withdraw from Yiwu, the entire army will be on full alert immediately in the past two days and prepare for the attack in the future. At the same time, the search for arrow clusters cannot be stopped. If Gu Yangsi changes his mind, we still have There is room for maneuver. In short, we will launch a general offensive in the future. Let’s prepare for each other." Wu Gen said a few words briefly, pulled Yang Zheng and ran to the Southern Army camp.
When they arrived at Ebony Mountain, Wu Gen did not enter the camp, but asked someone to quietly call Ji Jing out.
Seeing the sly look on Wu Gen's face, Ji Jing couldn't help but sneer and said, "Wu Zhenfu, could it be that he did something to disgrace the second young master and why he didn't dare to come to the camp to see him?"
"What I said last time has come true. People are coming from the north." Wu Gen didn't have the intention to tease him at this time and said straightforwardly.
Ji Jing looked solemn and said, "How many, who, and where to go."
"Seventy thousand to eighty thousand, the direction they are going to is Hanlu City. It should be Ji Bin's hand. Even if it is not him, he should be involved." Wu Gen quickly replied.
Ji Jing's face turned pale. Seventy or eighty thousand people, how could they fight like this? "We must go to Hanlu City."
"The opponent has not passed Xingshan yet, and is probably heading towards Hanlu City. I have ordered the Rebel Army to track him all the way. If there are any changes, we will report back at any time."
Ji Jing breathed a sigh of relief and gritted his teeth and said: "It would be better if we attack Hanlu City. There are more than ten thousand defenders in the city. We can also recruit civilians to join the army. We have all the food, grass and weapons. The enemy will not be able to defeat it for a while. We will still have to fight with him." The enemy in person comes first."
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought. No matter who comes, the North and South Army's first priority is to defeat the coalition forces on the opposite side. Without this worry, we can free our hands and feet to rescue Hanlu City." Wu Gen said to him. Ji Jing couldn't help but take a high look. As the governor of the Ji family, he quickly judged the key points of the battle.
"What do you need me for?" Ji Jing is also a cheerful person. Seeing Wu Gen rushing over, he must have something to discuss.
"Hold Ji Ye and don't let him know about the attack on Hanlu City. We will tell him after we capture the coalition forces. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will bring most of his troops back to Hanlu City."
"It's impossible to hide it all the time. To tell you the truth, except for the Southern Army, according to the rules of the Ji family, these mausoleum guards are not under my control. I can't stop pinching their line." Ji Jing looked troubled and raised his hands. One stall said.
"I can hide it as long as I can." Wu Gen pondered for a moment without being verbose, "I will go to see the eldest young master immediately and ask him for a military order, strictly instructing the Northern and Southern armies to capture the coalition forces before returning to the division."
"Okay, go quickly. After all, you and I are the governor, and the second young master is the real person in charge. If you really want to give an order, I have to obey it." Ji Jing's expression changed, and he immediately agreed with Wu Gen's idea.
"One more thing, I suggest a general attack the next day." Wu Gen told Yang Zheng the information he had received, and also revealed some of the Murong family's preparations to send troops.
"Very good, the situation has not become so bad after all. Let's attack the day after tomorrow." Ji Jing hesitated for a moment, then slashed with his hand, "The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow. Although the army is not fully prepared yet, how can we say You cannot start a war without preparation. I made this clear to the Second Young Master.
Now I am still prepared with both hands. If the fog disappears the next day and the Southern Army attacks from the front, I ask the Northern Army to attack from the flanks. If the fog is still there, we will stick to our original plan. "
"Yes, please make preparations as soon as possible. I will go to Hanlu City." Wu Gen said and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Ji Jing suddenly stopped Wu Gen. He hesitated before reminding him, "If you get to Hanlu City, in addition to persuading the young master, don't forget your wife."
"Murong Yanyu?" Wu Gen glanced at the other party, "Please give me some advice from Zhen Fu."
"Ahem." Ji Jing coughed and glanced at Yang Zheng, who quickly left knowingly.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ji Jingfang whispered: "The young master and the madam have a very close relationship, and the madam has many strategies. The young master often discusses some important matters with her, so don't be evil to the madam.
In addition, you have a very good relationship with the Second Young Master, and Madam knows it. If...if you want Madam to trust you, you might as well show a hint of surrender. "
After finishing speaking, Ji Jing turned around and walked towards the tent. Looking at his back, Wu Gen couldn't help but think deeply.
"What's the matter?" Yang Zheng walked over and took a cautious look in the direction of the tent.
"Let's go, let's talk on the way."
Soon, the two rushed back to the Beijun camp. After explaining some matters, Wu Gen, Yang Zheng, Suo Ji and Qiao Ban got on the shuttle and flew towards Hanlu City.
"Let's show our kindness to Murong Yanyu?" On the shuttle, Yang Zheng looked slightly surprised after hearing Ji Jing's suggestion. After mumbling for a long time, Yang Zheng suddenly said: "Yes, Ji Jing is from the Southern Army and has always been Ji Chen's subordinate. He knows the situation very well.
According to him, many of Ji Chen's decisions were actually made by Murong Yanyu. This woman is not simple, so Ji Jing reminds us to show kindness to her. Moreover, she has a bad relationship with Murong Yuqiang, and Murong Yuqiang deliberately showed favor to Ji Ye at the last party to choose a husband. Haha, interesting, it seems we have to show our loyalty to these two. "
Wu Gen understood as soon as he heard that he was Ji Ye's general, and Ji Ye and Murong Yuqiang might be related. Both of them were thorns in Murong Yanyu's side. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the Iron Hand Province in the future, , you really have to get closer to Ji Chen from the perspective of face.
"Let's go, wait until we get to Hanlu City." Wu Gen sighed, feeling tired.
