"southward."
Wendi Nguyen said.
"southward?"
Zuo Zhigang scratched his head, "Military advisor, aren't we going to fight?"
"My father-in-law is leading them over there, and it's a head-on confrontation. There will definitely be numerous casualties. Let's go over and fight. We can help in some way."
"What help?"
Ruan Wendi said angrily: "We only brought three thousand soldiers, and they are all newly recruited without any combat experience."
"Those people are trapped animals now. If we rush forward, aren't we leading them to death?"
"So what if I die?"
Zuo Zhigang said disdainfully: "If they don't experience war, when will they become veterans?"
"Only bloody battles and life-and-death tests can enrich their combat experience..."
"Stop it, stop it."
Ruan Wendi interrupted Zuo Zhigang, "Deputy Zuo, don't I understand what you are saying?"
"But right now, Xiping Village is short of manpower. Even if these people don't become members of the bandit army in the end, they can still be sent to the coal mines to mine coal, or to research explosives, or to Linhai County to dry salt, etc."
"Anyway, there will be a place for them."
"It's better than staying here."
"What's more, what is the mission sir assigned to us?"
"Rescue Your Majesty."
"Now that His Majesty is not here, it means that he has seen through the Yuzhou King's plan and is holding the line from behind."
"Our mission has been completed."
"We have nothing to do here anymore."
"Then why go south?"
Zuo Zhigang asked doubtfully: "Can't we just go east and return to Xiping Village?"
"And save some cookies."
"Don't you want to make meritorious deeds?"
Ruan Wendi asked back: "Do you want to be suppressed by Mao Shiba?"
"With that reckless man in Shima Mao, how can he suppress me?"
When mentioning Mao Shiba, Zuo Zhigang became full of disdain, and then asked doubtfully: "As for making meritorious service, His Majesty didn't even come, so how can we make meritorious service?"
"Your Majesty didn't come, but the King of Yuzhou did rebel."
Ruan Wendi explained: "Is capturing the rebels considered a meritorious service?"
"Calculate."
Zuo Zhigang's eyes lit up, "Do you mean to capture the rebellious local officials in Yuzhou?"
"Exactly."
"Then shouldn't we go directly east and enter Bianliang County? Why go south?"
"If I'm right, Quanzi can also think of this."
Ruan Wendi said meaningfully: "According to the strategy made by Mr. before, we will dominate the south, and Quanzi will dominate the north."
"At this time, he should be detouring from the north, so we will detour from the south."
"In the east are the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou, and in the west are His Majesty's troops."
"Bianliang County is surrounded by our people, and the rebels cannot escape. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of catching them all."
"When the time comes, we will not only be rewarded by Sir, but we will even be commended by His Majesty."
"Do you want to miss such a great achievement?"
"In no mood."
Zuo Zhigang chuckled, "The military advisor is still smart, so just do it."
Just as Xia Quan and Ruan Wendi guessed, when the officials of the Yuzhou headquarters saw Chen Tong being captured, Li Yan was determined to destroy them.
Where is the love for war?
They all wanted to escape.
This time to welcome His Majesty, although Chen Tong mobilized all the troops from Yuzhou, not all of them were sent to the front line.
According to Gu Tianhe's suggestion, after welcoming His Majesty, he took advantage of His Majesty's unpreparedness to hurt him.
Everything is settled.
Then let the bandits consume His Majesty's troops, and when it's almost time, mobilize the local troops in Yuzhou to clean up the mess.
Not only will losses be reduced, but it will also play a key role and gain maximum credit.
Therefore, most of the people following the Yuzhou headquarters officials at this time were bandits.
The ones who are desperate are also bandits.
After breaking out of the siege, he immediately fled to Bianliang County.
Someone is faster than them.
It was Gu Tianhe, Chen Tong's aide.
Gu Tianhe was already thinking of escaping. When he saw Chen Tong being captured, he lit a fire to completely open up the battle and fled.
Gu Tianhe has been operating in Yuzhou for decades and has a wife, daughter and property.
He wanted to return to Bianliang County, take his wife and daughter south, enter Jingzhou, take the waterway, pass through Yizhou, then enter Yongzhou and enter the capital Chang'an.
Once there, you are back on your own turf.
You can enter the headquarters of the Palace of Eternal Life and enjoy a lifetime of bliss.
At the same time, Bianliang County is also undergoing changes.
The main envoy is Lu Pin.
Because he took refuge late, he was classified as a fringe force.
That is to say, he cannot face the imperial army directly, cannot make meritorious deeds, and can only defend his family.
Guarding the house?
Lu Pin naturally agreed.
According to Zhao Ping's instructions, he would wait for an opportunity to betray him and kill Chen Tong by surprise.
Let Your Majesty turn the crisis around and completely stabilize the situation in Yuzhou.
But the results will not be satisfactory.
He was actually arranged to stay behind.
Then you can only change your strategy.
Since you can't betray Chen Tong in front of him, you can betray him behind his back.
Taking advantage of the emptiness in Bianliang County, he took control of the family members of Chen Tong and other rebel thieves.
The husband was victorious, and they captured the family members of the rebels in advance, and no one escaped.
It can be regarded as meritorious service, and it does not mean that he has done nothing.
At least after returning to Xiping Village, I can arrange a small centurion or something like that.
Can develop stably in Xiping Village.
Even if the boss knows it, he can rest in peace.
If Chen Tong succeeds, Mr. Chen will be defeated.
If you can force them to submit and surrender through their family members, that will be a great achievement.
It will definitely be reused by Mr. Zhao.
It is also possible to become a member of the Flying Eagle Army, even a centurion, a thousand-centurion, and the like.
Lu Pin took this mission very seriously.
So when he learned that he was left to guard the family, Lu Pin naturally disagreed. After several arguments and asking for a lot of benefits, he "reluctantly" agreed.
No one found any flaw in it.
Gu Tianhe is no exception.
He even felt that Lu Pin was very reliable and entrusted him with important tasks.
After all, bandits all want to get rid of their criminal status and become good citizens. If you use this and promise some benefits, you can make them obey your words.
No, Lu Pin became Gu Tianhe's back-up man in Bianliang County.
Let him help take care of the family, and when he comes back, escort him south and back to Chang'an.
After everyone left, Lu Pin called everyone to meet and arrange things.
He doesn't have many brothers, but he has about a hundred brothers.
It may not be possible to deal with the regular army led by Chen Tong, but it is fine to deal with the family members.
The first to be dealt with was Gu Tianhe's family.
Before leaving, Gu Tianhe handed over the stewardship and appointed Lu Pin and other bandits as the bodyguards of their home.
The housekeeper and Lu Pin were also known to each other.
He didn't have any precautions, and was successfully captured by Lu Pin.
Lu Pin did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but subdued them, tied them up, and secretly escorted them to a rundown village outside the city.
Because that village was too close to the capital city, no one dared to live in it after it was swallowed up, and it became a deserted village.
That's when it comes in handy.
Separately detain the family members, close the door, and lock them, so they don't need to be supervised, so they can't escape.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Lu Pin still left more than ten people to guard him.
The main purpose is to prevent someone from coming in from the outside and rescue people.
After doing this, Lu Pin led the people to Zhoucheng again.
This time I went directly to Chen Tong’s house.
Fortunately, there is going to be a war, and the heads of each family have arranged for their family members not to go out unless nothing happens, and to be ready to run away at any time.
After all, what they were planning was a major rebellion.
If someone doesn't do it right, his house will be confiscated and his family will be executed.
Everyone is afraid.
Therefore, these family members are also very obedient and stay at home obediently, waiting for their men to return and bring them glory.
Of course, not everyone was as obedient as Gu Tianhe's family members and allowed Lu Pin to capture them.
There are also doubters.
For example, the steward of Chen Tong's family started questioning him.
"What did you say?"
"Let us go with you? Why?"
"Who are you?"
"Where is the King of Yuzhou?"
"Since the King of Yuzhou is not here, why should we listen to you?"
"Gungun, what kind of bandits are you trying to deceive us? When the King of Yuzhou comes back, I will definitely file a lawsuit against you and let the King of Yuzhou chop off your head."
"I……"
Lu Pin was stunned for a moment when he was questioned.
But he quickly came back to his senses and said anxiously: "My name is Lu Pin, and I am the person who was arranged by Gu Tianhe's staff to stay at home and look after you."
"The frontline is defeated. You must move as soon as possible. If you delay it any longer, when the enemy pursues you, it will be too late for you to escape."
The butler still didn't believe it.
After all, the head of the family made it very clear when he left.
Defeat would mean that everyone would be ransacked and executed, and no one would survive.
And overcome.
The head of the family is the future emperor, and as a housekeeper, there is no problem for him to be promoted to a general manager.
However, at this moment, Lu Pin shook his head and sighed: "Since you don't want to live, I won't ask for it either."
"After all, I am the man assigned by the staff Gu Tianhe. I just need to protect Gu Tianhe's family."
"It's just because I feel sorry for you that I'm telling you this incidentally."
"Anyway, Gu Tianhe's family members have been moved to a safe place. Your life and death have nothing to do with me."
"I will continue to inform the next family and do my best to be kind and righteous."
After saying that, Lu Pin took the people and left.
The housekeeper was left standing alone at the door in a daze.
is that so?
Did I miss something?
No, we must quickly find out the authenticity of what the other party said.
Yes, go to Gu Tianhe's house.
Anyway, there are fast horses at home, so it won't take long to come back and forth.
The housekeeper no longer hesitated, went back to his house and gave an explanation, then mounted his horse and rushed to Gu Tianhe's home.
