Chapter 783
"General Dou, you lead a group of people to rush to Weizhou immediately and cooperate with General Pei to garrison Weizhou!"
"General Peng, take your team to meet General Gu!"
"General Kong, there are still your troops at the treasury granary. You and General Zhao go to conquer them!"
"I don't know if you know about General Xia's crimes. I don't want to pursue those crimes now, so I will treat this as an opportunity for you to redeem yourself and make meritorious deeds!"
"The fate of the three of you is in your own hands. I will reward you based on your merits afterwards!"
Xiao Lintian's words suddenly made the three people's blood boil, and the three of them shouted in unison: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the task assigned by Your Majesty!"
Xiao Lintian looked at the other soldiers and said loudly: "You must also cherish this opportunity to atone for your sins and cooperate with the three generals to complete the mission!"
Those soldiers were in panic, fearing that they would be implicated in General Xia's collusion with the enemy and treason. When they heard that King Yi gave them the opportunity to redeem themselves and make meritorious deeds, they immediately followed the three generals and shouted in unison.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely cooperate with the three generals to complete the mission!"
"Then act immediately!"
Kong Hui immediately counted his people and kicked out all the people he disliked and those who were sneaky and sneaky.
Peng Liang also followed suit and kicked out several people.
As a result, the original six teams were merged into three, leaving more than thirty soldiers that no one wanted.
Xiao Lintian himself had led a team, and he knew at first sight that these more than thirty soldiers were sneaky people.
He smiled coldly and asked the more than thirty soldiers to escort General Xia and the injured soldiers.
These more than thirty soldiers were on tenterhooks, fearing that King Yi would punish them.
King Yi asked them to escort General Xia. No one dared to be lazy anymore, so they stepped forward and got General Xia into the carriage with all their skills.
"After completing the mission, we will meet up in Weizhou!"
After Xiao Lintian explained the matter, he was concerned about the safety of everyone in Zaozhuang, so he immediately mounted his horse and rushed to Zaozhuang with a group of guards.
...
On Lu Zhongze's side, he encountered an interception halfway. The group of troops he led encountered a blockade by Zhou You, the deputy commander of Wu's deputy commander.
Lu Zhongze's people protected him and fled into the woods. Yuan Jian and Lu Zhongze were both injured. Yuan Jian said anxiously when he saw that Zhou You was still chasing after him with his men.
"General Lu, you should escape first! Zaozhuang and King Yi are still waiting for General Gu's support. We can't all die here. Someone has to go out and report!"
"No! You were injured before, and now you're like this, you can't hold on!" Lu Zhongze said anxiously: "Go ahead! You also know my uncle, go get the reinforcements!"
Yuan Jian was the son of the housekeeper who was married to Lu Zhongze's mother. He grew up with Lu Zhongze. Although he and Lu Zhongze were masters and servants on the surface, they were almost brothers.
Yuan Jian said anxiously: "It's because I'm more injured than you, so you can persevere better if you go! General Lu, don't wait any longer, and leave quickly..."
Yuan Jian pushed Lu Zhongze away and said sternly: "The safety of the entire army depends on you! If we unfortunately die, our families will be entrusted to you!"
After Yuan Jian finished speaking, he rushed to the other side with the remaining people to divert Zhou You's pursuers.
Lu Zhongze's eyes were red. He watched Zhou You's men chasing Yuan Jian and the others. He wanted to catch up and help, but he stopped as soon as he moved.
Yuan Jian was right, King Yi and the others were still waiting for him to bring in reinforcements, so they couldn't all die here.
Yuan Jian, take care...!
Lu Zhongze gritted his teeth and ran to the other side.
He didn't dare to look back, so he could only rush forward desperately.
He carries the expectations of countless people, and even if he dies, he must send the news before he dies!
