One Thirty Dilemma
...
When Bai Qi saw Lu Yu, he was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "General Lu, why is it you? Didn't you go back to Chang'an with Mr. Zhuge?"
Lu Yu lowered his head guiltily and bowed his hand and said, "The sin will make a big mistake in the past, causing thousands of soldiers in my Yuzi Camp to die in the mountains and forests. Although Your Majesty spared someone, he had no face to see him. He just wanted to kill more enemies in this frontier to forgive the sins he committed."
Bai Qi patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and said, "General Lu, you don't have to feel too guilty about this. Who is not a sage? The brothers in the Yu camp often say to you, General Lu, after so many years, they have forgiven you. General Lu, don't stand stupidly, hurry up and take your seat..."
Lu Yu took a step back and declined Bai Qi's kindness and whispered: "The general of sin is now a sinful person. What is the face of sitting with the generals? I came to see General Bai today and only wanted to ask you for one thing..."
Bai Qi nodded and replied, "General Lu, but it's okay. As long as I, Bai Qi, can do my best..."
Lu Yu said: "I only ask the Governor Bai. After learning about the battle in the Western Regions, when I went to the capital to report my duties, I saw His Majesty Dai pleaded with him and said that I already knew that I was wrong.
Yu does not ask for anything else, but only wishes to give a certain military registration and let a certain dear move around the military camp to fight with the enemy. Yu wishes to stay on the frontier for His Majesty to kill the enemy for His Majesty for the rest of his life!”
When Bai Qi heard this, he was immediately in trouble. It was not that he was unwilling to plead for Lu Yu, but that Liu Ce once said explicitly that anyone who dared to speak to Lu Yu would not respond.
In the past, Lu Yu was addicted to women's sexual misconduct, resulting in heavy casualties in the Yuzi Battalion, which almost missed Liu Ce's plan to capture the northern land. If Bai Qi, Meng Gong and others had not turned the tide, the quick attack plan would have gone bankrupt long ago.
At that time, Lu Yu was deprived of all military affairs and demoted to white-handedness. No general in Liu Ce's army came out to plead for him. It was just because the mistake he made this time was too great, and his usual arrogant and unsatisfied relationship with other colleagues was not harmonious, which led to all this.
In the end, if Qin Mo had not come forward to persuade Liu Ce to save his life with Fa Ji Xuan, he would have been spared from being beheaded and displayed in public.
But Lu Yu's life is even more uncomfortable than death. After leaving his military career, he felt very confused and did not know how to go in the future.
Several times he hid quietly outside several military camps in the Far East, looking at the commanding generals in the schoolyard training soldiers, showing an envious look. After all, he was one of them before.
Later, he learned from the newspaper that Jingweiying had killed all directions. Until Liu Ce entered the capital and became emperor, many generals whose status was inferior to his in the past had become pillars of the army. For example, Meng Gong, Dou Jun, Cui Liang, and Zhang Yichao all had independent flag regiments, and he could no longer help it.
With this, Lu Yu, who has always been arrogant, put down his airs for the first time in order to return to the battlefield to make achievements, and he was shameless and kept his relationships everywhere. He hoped that Liu Ce could give him another chance.
But unfortunately, Liu Ce seemed determined to stop using Lu Yu anymore. He always stayed in the door, which made him feel very distressed.
Fortunately, he met Zhuge Zhi later. At Zhuge Zhi's suggestion, he hiding his identity and sneaked into the army as his personal guard. He hoped that he might have the chance to get Liu Ce's recognition again, allowing him to return to the army to continue leading troops to fight south and north.
Today, Lu Yu killed the enemy slave chief among the chaos. He took this opportunity to make Bai Qi tell Liu Ce about his difficulties.
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "This is how General Lu. When the war in the Western Regions is over, you and I will go to Chang'an with me. You might as well go to the Daming Palace in person to tell Your Majesty that Your Majesty is a nostalgic person after all, and seeing that you have made such great contributions, I think you should agree to your request."
Lu Yu said gratefully: "I'll thank you Governor Bai for your accomplishment!"
Bai Qi shook his head: "General Lu, it's far better to go to Xu Shangshu if you ask me for love. His Majesty the person he trusts most in the capital is him. As long as he is willing to help you, this matter should not be a big problem."
"Shangshu Xu? Where is he now?" Lu Yu asked anxiously.
Bai Qi replied: "General Lu, don't be anxious. Shangshu Xu has important things to do now. After taking down Vacci City, I will take you to see him. Since General Lu is here, let's discuss how to attack Vacci City in the camp, but the strategy..."
Lu Yu was shocked and hurriedly said, "What is the face of the sin? Here is a discussion with the generals on how to break the city?"
Bai Qi said: "General Lu, it would be wrong for you to refuse. Even if you have made the achievements of killing Tuoba Ju in the formation today, you are still qualified to discuss matters together!"
After saying that, Bai Qi rushed outside the tent and said loudly: "Get a chair over to General Lu!"
"So, thank you to Governor Bai!"
Lu Yu responded nervously and began to discuss strategies to break the city together.
After more than an hour of discussion, everyone around the sand table expressed their opinions, and finally concluded that if they wanted to take down Vacci City and avoid unnecessary casualties, they had to have a perfect solution.
Bai Qi's strategy to make the decision is to siege but not attack. The food seized from the Mengluo army is more than enough to support the entire army in one month.
Boom-
Just then, a muffled thunder sounded.
"Um?"
Lu Yu came to the door of the tent, opened the corner of the curtain and looked out at the sky...
Looking at the sky thousands of miles away, there were two lightning flashes in the sky in a flash, I couldn't help but sigh: "There will be a rainstorm in a few days!"
...
In the city of Vacci, the remaining Mengluo troops who had withdrawn from the battlefield entered the city listlessly...
This time, the return was different from the usual ones. There was no cheer or colleagues to greet each other. All that was endless sadness was shrouded in the hearts of every Monroe.
How big a matter is to die? Once the royal court knows the truth, these remnants and the ten thousand Monroe defenders in the city will be punished with the end of killing the nine clans.
Slopun followed Zhao Shen worriedly, hoping to find a solution to the dilemma from this resourceful Central Plains man.
But Zhao Shen was also in a state of confusion now. Tuoba Ju's death was completely beyond his expectations. He never expected that the Han army's offensive would be so rapid that he broke through the camp outside Waci City in just two battles.
Now, not only has the previous plan not been fully implemented, but even Tuoba Ju died. The first thing Zhao Shen should consider is his current situation. After all, he is just a slave. Tuoba Ju's death was indirectly caused by his own plot mistakes. Once the Wang Ting blames him, he will definitely end up miserable.
Even without the need for the Monroe Prince Court to take action, these Monroe soldiers who are like wolves and tigers in front of them will tear themselves to pieces!
In a trance, Zhao Shen and Sousun had already arrived at the general's mansion.
As soon as he entered the room, Sulukun, who had been talking all over, immediately spoke to Zhao Shen, "Zhao Shen, the king has been killed now. What should I do next? What do you think?"
Zhao Shen sat down and shook his head and said, "Let me think about it carefully. Now I am very confused and don't know where to start!"
Slop Kun sat opposite Zhao Chan and said, "You have to think of a way, otherwise we will all die!"
Zhao Shen's cheeks twitched a few times, closed his eyes, clasped his fists on his forehead, leaned against the table and tried hard to think about good strategies.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhao Shen had not moved yet. Slop Kun was a little impatient and wanted to ask, but was afraid of interrupting his thoughts, so he got up and walked back and forth in the house.
About a quarter of an hour later, when Zhao Shen had not spoken, he spoke, "I think there is only one way. I think we can call the entire army and leave Vacci City and run westward. You can run to the Kushan territory, or you can go further to the Sassans and Dashi territory.
In short, the farther you run, the better. With the strength in our hands, we can become a hero everywhere. What do you think? As long as we stay away from the Monroe grassland, we can still live happily."
"Stop kidding!" Zhao Shen ruthlessly interrupted Slokun's longing, "Don't forget that all the countries in the Western Regions are now vassals of the Monroe Empire. Can you guarantee that no one in the Western Regions passed by will go to report to the royal court?
Furthermore, even if these Western Regions turn a blind eye, what about the Mengluo eyeliner placed in various parts of the Western Regions? Not to mention how many Princess Mengluo married into the Western Regions. Once our whereabouts are exposed, the iron hooves of the royal court will arrive, we will die!"
Suo Kun was immediately discouraged and asked, "Then what do you think you should do? This is not OK, that is not OK, what should I do? I don't want to die in vain!"
Zhao Shen's eyes suddenly turned cold: "It seems that there is only one way now. The entire army defends Waci City and continues to fight the Han army.
Only in this way may you get the understanding of the Holy Emperor after the war, and you can also say that the death of the Aries King is an accident.
But the premise is that you must be able to defend the city of Waci. When the Bohe army arrives, you can defeat Bai Qi in one fell swoop. Then you will report the victory to the royal court and explain the reason..."
"But the king is gone, how can we order the warriors to defend the city?" asked Sulakun.
Zhao Shen said: "It is because the king is gone that we must unite even more. There is a saying in the Central Plains that we should die and live. General Slop Kun, you are the highest officer of Vacci City now, and the warriors in the whole city should obey your orders!"
"Isn't this... going to cross?" Slop Kun asked uneasyly.
"Then isn't it that you plan to lead troops to escape?" Zhao Shen replied, "What's more, special treatments are taken during special times. Lead the army to repel Bai Qi first, so that you can have a chance to go back alive!"
"Okay! I'll give an order now to keep the whole city on guard and ready to fight at any time!"
Slop Kun left a sentence and rushed out of the general's mansion in a hurry.
Looking at the back of Slop Kun leaving, Zhao Shen sighed helplessly and said to himself: "Wang, you just left like this. I don't think what you and me said a few days ago is a separation of life and death. If you have a spirit in heaven and hope to understand your difficulties, I really want to serve the Monroe."
Boom-
At this time, thunder sounded loudly outside the house, which attracted Zhao Shen's attention.
"The sky is still bright but the thunder sounds roaring. It seems that the sound of thunder in the clear sky is an ominous sign. We must make a complete plan..."
Chapter completed!
