Just when everyone was worried about Huo Yan, only Lu Zuo had a hint of uneasiness on his brows, "What is before us now is not Huo Yan's problem. If you go by what my third uncle said, he is so great, as long as If you don't go deep alone, there should be no problem. But..."
Qin Fu saw that Lu Zuo's brows were furrowed and he didn't say anything further, so he said anxiously: "You bastard, I see you have changed a lot. You are still the same as you always are, so you can't finish it in one breath!"
"But after passing Dafeichuan, it is the territory that Dafan passed. Although they have failed now, we have also suffered heavy losses. Without the help of the brothers from Fengji Mountain, they only need to rely on the advantages of Shanzhou City, and we will not be able to win at all. , now both sides suffer losses, if they reorganize their troops and come back, and some of our people have to be dispersed to guard the prisoners, and there is insufficient manpower, then it may be difficult for us to parry." Lu Zuodao.
Gao Yun nodded repeatedly, "Brother is right. I'm sure they will come again."
Chen Tuizhi said: "What are you afraid of? Let's learn from them. We will rely on the advantages of Shanzhou City and refuse to go to war. Let's see what they can do to me!"
Lu Zuo waved his hand and shook his head, "This move is no longer feasible. If this problem is not solved this time, they will come to attack the city after a while. This is not a long-term solution."
Lu Xiuyuan seemed to have understood what Lu Zuo meant, "Does Zuo'er mean that we should choose to take the initiative and beat them until they surrender?"
"Second uncle is right, that's exactly what he meant. Bandits have always bullied the weak and feared the strong. This time, we must beat them until they are afraid. Therefore, if Huo Yan can stop chasing the poor bandits this time, it can also give them a warning."
Gao Yun smiled and said: "That's right, let them see how easy it is for me to be bullied!"
Qin Fu snorted, "You have said so much. Now that we are dead and injured, plus our brothers from Fengji Mountain have forty to fifty thousand troops left, it is already good to be able to defend Shanzhou City. I still want to fight with others." beat?"
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Jing Jingruo next to Lu Zuo said: "Actually, it's very simple. My brother still leads a border defense force of 50,000 troops in Lanzhou. Can't we just invite him to come!"
"Yes!" Gao Yun said, "Then quickly send someone to notify General An and ask him to bring people to help quickly."
Lu Zuo shook his head, "This seems to be a way, but it will not work after all. You must know that General An is a military governor. If he leads the troops out of Lanzhou without the order of the court, it will be a serious crime."
"You can't just sit back and ignore it, right?" Qin Fu said anxiously.
Gao Jun patted his chest and said, "What are you afraid of? Your Majesty will not be affected by your fate. The most important thing now is how to defeat the enemy. I think the Emperor will be reasonable."
Lu Xiuyuan also said: "You are right. If the cooked duck flies away again and Shanzhou City is lost again, then all of us may lose our heads. Instead of doing this, it is better to do what Marshal Gao said, If we win, we can finally make the thieves relent, and then what we said before will no longer exist."
Gao Yun glanced at Lu Zuo and asked him to make up his mind. Lu Zuo was sitting at the bottom, lowering his head and thinking. It seemed that this was all he could do for now. It would definitely be difficult for the emperor to send more troops. Even if he sent a fast horse to ask the emperor for instructions, it would only take half a month at the fastest. I think that Xiruo Zan Zhuo must have expected this situation and would mobilize troops to counterattack Shanzhou as soon as possible, so he could not wait any longer, so he raised his head and nodded to Gao Yun to indicate that it was okay.
"Okay! In that case, I will send two groups of horses to ask General An for reinforcements. Then I will repair the book and send it to the capital to ask for instructions from the Holy One."
Then everyone began to discuss the next troop formation. Seeing that it was already dark outside and there was no news about Huo Yan, Qin Fu also became a little anxious and cursed from time to time. Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Jun ordered his men to light a fire and make food. Just when the meal was ready and the generals were invited to have a meal, Tan Ma quickly came to report that Huo Quan had returned with his men.
Sure enough, then a young and vigorous young man walked into the hall under the cover of lights. He was wearing armor and carrying a sword at his waist. Although he was soaked to the skin, he still looked arrogant. As soon as he arrived in the hall, he gave Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Fu said hello.
Chen Tuizhi said angrily: "Huo Yan, why didn't you come back until now? You made us worry."
Qin Fu smiled and clenched his fist on Huo Yan's chest, "What a boy!" Then he laughed at Lu Xiuyuan and said, "Second brother, if you see it, I know that this boy must be fine!"
Lu Xiuyuan glared at Qin Fu, "How dare you say that!" Then he said sternly to Huo Yan, "Huo Yan, why did you pursue him without orders? Disobeying orders in the middle of battle is a serious crime."
Huo Yan didn't care, "The second leader made a serious statement. Someone told me that he was some bad marshal of Dafan. When I heard that, I knew I must not let him go, so I led the people to chase him all the way. The kid was caught by me. After chasing for more than ten miles, I was so frightened that I dropped my helmet and the horse's load was reduced, so I let him run away, otherwise I would be able to eliminate this problem for the people." After that, Huo Yan saw the road. Xiu Yuan didn't say any more, he looked around at the searchers in the hall, and asked, "Second leader, which one here is Brother Lu that you are talking about?"
Yin Ji pointed to the master sitting in front of him, "This is the person sitting in front of me!"
Huo Yan fixed his gaze on Lu Zuo, looked up and down for a long time and asked, "Are you Brother Lu?"
The people in the hall burst into laughter, and Chen Tuizhi said with a smile: "Yes, he is Brother Lu who I have often mentioned to you."
Huo Yan saw that Lu Zuo's face was pale, and his hair seemed to have been wet by the rain, but it seemed to be a little dry, and the corners of his clothes were a little wet. Under the light of the light, he looked so fragile, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He muttered, never thinking how he could lift the giant cauldron with his bare hands, and couldn't help but ask: "How is it possible?"
Lu Zuo looked indifferent, but judging from his appearance, he was probably a good man, but he felt that the arrogance shown by this man was really uncomfortable, so he just smiled politely and said, "This is Lu Zuo. "
Knowing his hesitation, Chen Tuizhi stood up from his seat, walked to Lu Zuo, and explained: "Even though my senior brother is so thin, he used to be a strong man. I told you, If that Xun Mou hadn't trapped him..."
"Okay!" Lu Zuo interrupted Chen Tuizhi politely, "Since Brother Huo is back, let's go change and get dressed quickly, and have a good rest after dinner. We still have a lot to do tomorrow."
