Chapter 53 Gambling

When Lu Qi returned to his camp, he had the idea of ​​using force at first, and wanted to beat Pang Can to establish his authority. But he just walked all the way, but he understood that it was not appropriate to use force to solve it. After all, the highest commander of the bandit suppression army was not him.

Once martial arts is used, Rongchang may be attracted, and Rongchang will take advantage of the situation and take away the power of the commander. The reason why Rongchang cannot retreat now is that he is concerned about the occurrence of Qi's house, and that he personally admitted that Lu Qi was the commander, and that he could not go back on his word and denied it immediately.

Sitting on the wooden bench in the tent, Lu Qi waited patiently. With his sarcasm, he didn't believe that Pang Can dared not surrender. After sitting for a while, Uncle Guiwu came in and told him that Yao Song had taken people away.

Yao Song took ten military soldiers away, which was a supplement to the plan to lure the enemy. It was suggested by Guiwu Uncle. Yao Song took away one thousand taels of gold ingots, and on the way, he would pretend to be robbed by the Grey Eagle. The Grey Eagle would take the gold ingots as a letter of fame and go to Maoshan to join the gang. After joining the gang, he would naturally bring the information of the bandit suppression army with huge wealth.

The city of Jurong County must also have the suspicion of Maoshan bandits. When the two and one comparison, the gray eagle instigated the push again. Even if the Maoshan bandits were cautious, they would be moved to come out of the mountain and robbery when they knew the weakness of the bandit suppression army and the huge wealth in the camp outside the city, and they would likely attack in full swing. As long as the Maoshan bandits attacked, the situation that plagued Lu Qi would be broken.

As soon as Uncle Guiwu finished reporting, a military soldier reported that the general Pang Lu came outside the tent. Lu Qixin relaxed and ordered the military soldiers to bring Pang Can to see him. He asked Uncle Guiwu to leave again. After all, Pang Can was a general in the camp, and Lu Qi wanted to make some use of it, so he naturally had to leave his face for him.

After a while, Pang Can and the two generals came in. When they saw Lu Qi sitting on the wooden bench, Pang Can smiled unnaturally and walked to the front military salute and said, "I will pay homage to the Lord Commander."

Lu Qi nodded and said with a good heart: "It's good that you can come. I don't want to have a great hatred with you and Pang Sima."

Pang Can was stunned and responded: "Before, my subordinates were reckless."

"You are reckless. You can't even see clearly what your situation is now. You are moving towards death little by little, but you still have the will to act." Lu Qi preached helplessly.

Pang Can and the other two looked at Lu Qi in shock. Lu Qi looked at them and said, "Don't you understand? General Rong doesn't want to win the bandit suppression at all. He is indifferent to the bandit suppression army. He is waiting for the forced order from the capital to send troops. At that time, he will let the bandit suppression army go to Maoshan to suppress the bandits."

Pang Can looked at Lu Qi in confusion, but the middle-aged general behind him had a clear expression. Lu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Pang, only our two thousand bandit suppression army. If you go to Maoshan to suppress the bandit suppression, how many can you come back."

Pang Can's face changed, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "What Master Duwei means is that General Rong will let the bandit suppression army go to Maoshan to die?"

Lu Qi nodded and said, "It should be true. If there is a urging of his superiors, Rongchang can attack Maoshan. The result of going to Maoshan was a crushing defeat. Six thousand well-equipped Beijing troops once could not destroy Maoshan bandits. Only two thousand weak troops would definitely not come back if we went there. At that time, Rongchang could bring his Duke's personal guards back to the capital to apologize. Even if you generals can return to the capital alive, the consequences will either be dismissed or be charged by Rongchang with fear of fighting."

Pang Can and the other two had a gloomy face, and they heard Lu Qi say again: "This matter had little to do with me. Even if there was a crushing defeat, I would still be the prince consort and would not bear much guilt. However, Rongchang deliberately made me the chief lieutenant. In the future, the head coach would have to bear half of the blame. Therefore, what I have done recently is not because of the support. The loss of thousands of taels of silver is not a big loss for me."

Pang Can was stunned, nodded, and said with tribute: "It's my subordinate who is stupid."

Lu Qi and Yan said: "I had no choice but to destroy the Qi family in Jurong County. Since I became the commander, I would not want the brothers of the bandit suppression army to die in vain. So I have to try my best to arm the brothers' combat power and win the chance of winning, but I cannot wait for death."

Pang Can was stunned and said respectfully: "I understand, so I will go back and order the soldiers to come."

Lu Qi nodded and said with a good word: "I am younger than Pang Daren, so I shouldn't have preaching words, but I think Pang Daren has a straightforward personality. I advised him to say that for the sake of the general, I should focus on weighing the pros and cons of things. If there are good things, I will make money in silence. I mobilized the archer training, which is only a temporary matter. In the future, those archers will bring bows and arrows and return to Pang Daren's command."

"Yes, my subordinates are taught." Pang Can responded respectfully.

"Okay, I'll send you to Master Pang." Lu Qi stood up and said, then sent Pang Can and the other two to leave.

Before noon, in the palace of the Tang Kingdom, Emperor Tang sat in Yanyunxuan, holding a letter sent directly from the princess's mansion. Although Lu Qi was the prince consort, Lu Qi did not have the privilege of going directly to Tianting. His memorials could only go to the Ministry of War first. After the Ministry of War was first tried, they could only be handed over to the Political Affairs Hall. After the prime ministers took a look, they would make decisions on the severity of the matter. Most of them would be approved by the emperor. If the major could not be decided, they would ask the emperor for instructions. The princess's rank was too high and he had the power to write a letter directly.

"Big Team, look at these things. Is this Lu Tianfeng bold and arrogant?" Emperor Tang raised his hand and handed the letter to Lord Xing.

Lord Xing bent down and took it respectfully, then carefully looked at it before saying in a low voice: "There is a bold and arbitrary existence, but according to the servants, Lu Tianfeng's arbitrary behavior is also a category of adaptability. His strategy of attracting bandits is also in line with the art of military affairs. Moreover, Qi actually hid more than two thousand soldiers, which is indeed a major threat to the capital."

Emperor Tang nodded and said gently: "It can be seen that Lu Tianfeng wants to take this opportunity to gain power, and he thought about making achievements."

"It should be because he wanted to make contributions, but he was forced to do so. Rongchang recognized the power of Lu Tianfeng, but it had the meaning of scapegoats. According to the reward of Jurong County, after Rongchang led his army to Jurong County, he hid in the city and enjoyed it, and ignored the bandit suppression army outside the city. His mind should be that he did not want to make contributions to the bandit suppression." Lord Xia replied in a soft voice.

Emperor Tang was silent, and after a while, he said: "Wan Bin belongs to him, and he acts boldly and recklessly. Now he has destroyed four wealthy families who have bound the bandits and wealthy families. If he continues to be indulged in that way, he will have adverse consequences."

Lord Xia hesitated for a moment and said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, I think that if you do not intimidate the owls who are entangled with bandits, it will be a big problem. If those owls rebel, it will be much more terrible than the hidden dangers of the bandit suppression army. After all, the bandit suppression army has no local roots."

Emperor Tang did not respond, and after a while he said calmly: "Do you think Lu Tianfeng's strategy of attracting bandits may lead bandits out of the mountain?"

"I think it is 80% possible. First, the bandit suppression army is weak, and second, according to the reward, Lu Tianfeng put all the wealth of Qi and Jurong County Magistrate in the camp outside the city. If the bandits know, they may be tempted to rob/rob." Lord Xia replied in a soft voice.

Emperor Tang nodded, thought for a moment, and ordered: "Tell me the Princess's Mansion that all the guards of the Princess' Mansion can go to the arsenal to borrow the best military equipment, and immediately rushed to Jurong County, secretly cooperated with the prince consort of Wucheng to suppress the bandits, and did not belong to them openly."

Lord Xia was stunned and quickly responded: "I will be the command."
