Chapter 300 Captives (2)

Lu Tongzhou looked at him coldly, and naturally he could see Zhang Jie's relief look, which was surprised.

Could it be that he had made a mistake? Zhang Jie had made some extraordinary things. He filtered out several major events in his family in his heart, but he still gained nothing, and none of them could have anything to do with the inconspicuous man in front of him.

Xu Haifeng reached out to help Zhang Jie up, turned to Lu Tongzhou and said, "Brother Lu, since you have forgiven him, then please ask you to go back and remove his pursuit order."

Lu Tongzhou was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother Xu, I am not hiding it. The pursuit order from Husband has been issued by himself. However, there has never been this kind of brother in front of him."

Jiang Kongming laughed and asked, "General Lu, how long has it been since you held the pursuit order?"

Lu Tongzhou did not hide it, and to tell the truth: "It has been a full ten years."

Jiang Kongming pointed his hand at Zhang Jie and said, "But the man's pursuit order has been issued for 18 years."

Lu Tongzhou was shocked and asked in surprise: "First eighteen years?"

Their Lu family's status in the northwest is probably no longer under the royal family. Once the hunting order is issued, it means that they will never stop treating this person. The person in front of him can escape for eighteen years. When he was shocked, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Xu Haifeng smiled slightly and said, "Eighteen years ago, Zhang Jie accidentally encountered the smuggling of the mansion in the name of the Sky Eagle Legion. He was ungrateful at the time and was seen by his family, so he issued a pursuit order. Fortunately, he was smart and saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately left his home and fled far away, and then escaped the disaster."

"Ah...that's this a small matter?" Lu Tongzhou couldn't help but laugh and cry. Just for this trivial matter, Xu Haifeng actually invited him to come to the mansion for a lecture. It was really a bit of a big deal.

In their eyes, smuggling in the name of the army and using power for personal gain is a normal thing. These things have always been handled by the elderly in the family. Whether it was Lu Dingsheng in the past or Lu Tongzhou in the present, what they were doing was only the specific monthly income. As for how to do things, they never intervened.

Because such a thing is indeed not a crucial matter in their eyes.

The reason why Zhang Jie was chased was because he was not qualified enough. If he had such an impressive status as Xu Haifeng, at most he would just laugh it off and would not get into trouble.

After Xu Haifeng explained, he said, "Zhang Jie, don't worry now."

Zhang Jie said respectfully: "Yes... I can get the promise from the head of the Lu family. If Zhang Jie can't believe it, it's just that he is ignorant of politeness."

Xu Haifeng nodded with a smile, looking at Zhang Jie, and did not urge him.

This man is also a smart man. When he saw Xu Haifeng's expression, he immediately understood and said respectfully: "Some adults, the young man accidentally went to the Caesar Empire and lived there for nearly twenty years. He dared not boast about anything else, but he still has some understanding of some humanistic landforms."

"Ah..." Lu Tongzhou blurted out and immediately understood. No wonder Xu Haifeng was serious about it. It turned out that this person was actually Caesar. He lived there for more than ten years, so the value of this person was incomparable.

Zhang Jie had prepared a set of rhetoric before coming here, but there was no trace of concealment at this time, and he poured it out in a gurgling light.

"When the young man first arrived at Caesar, it was when Caesar's great expedition to the West and returned triumphantly. This great emperor seemed to be a natural warrior. He fought in the east and west throughout his life and experienced countless battles. After decades of reign, the territory of the Caesar Empire was more than twice as large."

This is the first time Lu Tongzhou Shang has heard someone comment on Emperor Caesar like this. He is also a soldier. He couldn't help but be fascinated by hearing such great achievements.

"The villain used to be the trade route between Caesar and the great man. After a long time, the Caesars also understood a little, and they were desperate at that time. As soon as they recruited firefighters in the army, they changed their names and devoted themselves to it. The original intention was to be just for food and clothing, but this would take eighteen years."

He swallowed and said, "The Caesars had strict discipline in their battles. What they paid the most was the cooperation of various troops. That night..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped and glanced at Xu Haifeng carefully.

Xu Haifeng smiled at him kindly and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, no one blames you."

Zhang Jie replied softly, and finally said: "If Bancroft did not attack rashly, but instead set up a stance on the second day, and various troops fought together, your army might not be able to easily win a great victory."

Xu Haifeng's heart was lit up and he suddenly asked, "How do you know?"

Zhang Jie stopped wandering and whispered: "The villain had seen the confrontation between the noble army and the Caesars that night, but this was just a villain's nonsense. Please don't take it to heart, generals."

"City Guards." Jiang Kongming laughed.

Lu Tongzhou on the side couldn't help laughing, how could the mere city guards compare with the Black Flag Army?

However, no one explained this truth to him.

Although Zhang Jie did not understand what they were saying, they seemed to have no intention of being blamed. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, secretly reviewing himself and not daring to say anything bad.

He changed his subject and said, "In fact, Caesar has already been salivating about the wealth of the East. Since the third prince Algeron defeated Lin'an... No, after Wolong City, Emperor Caesar began to prepare for the plan for the Eastern Expedition. However, something happened at this time, causing the plan for the Eastern Expedition to be delayed again and again and could not be put into practical actions."

Xu Haifeng and others lit up their eyes. This was the information they wanted to know the most. The Caesars had made up their minds to attack the Han Dynasty when they colluded with the Huns, but they had always remained silent, and at most they were just small-scale fights. Such disagreements made Xu Haifeng and others unable to touch the north. They asked Catherine several times, but the results they obtained were vague and had no way to guess.

"In the northernmost part of the Caesar Empire, there was a group of tall and large natives. They were fierce and cruel and extremely powerful in combat. Emperor Caesar had personally fought several times, but because the northern country was indeed too cold, the natives were even more brave and fearless, so they returned without success every time."

"...This time, they suddenly became entangled and led their people to invade Caesar's territory and looted. The north was in chaos. The old guys in the Senate were shocked and insisted on expelling these plague gods first. Especially the great nobles whose fiefs were close to the north, they even summoned a group of nobles and personally asked for help from the Pope, making Caesar extremely passive."

"Northern natives." Xu Haifeng murmured.

"Hehe..." A sneer came, and when everyone looked, Jiang Kongming looked disdainful and sneered.

"What are the military advisors laughing at?" Lu Tongzhou asked.

"The weather is cold this year, and those natives probably can't find food, so they had to go south together to rob. They were for a livelihood, but unexpectedly, they did a lot of help from us..." Jiang Kongming raised his eyebrows and said, "If I were Emperor Caesar, I would definitely distinguish between the primary and secondary. At most, I would give them some food first and comfort them. Then mobilize the army to attack the Han. You must know that now is the most chaotic time of the Han Dynasty. If you want to make plans, it is the time when you must not miss the opportunity and never come again. As for those natives, as long as they can obtain the land of flowers in the east, they can give them a fatal lesson at any time."

"Ah..." Zhang Jie suddenly had a shocked face, and his face looked at Jiang Kongming with deep fear.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Jie lowered his head and said, "What this master said is that Caesar was trying to disagree in the Senate, advocating first to appease the natives in the north and making every effort to plan for the great man."

"Oh?" Jiang Kongming was quite surprised and said slowly: "Does this old guy really have some skills? What happened later?"

"At the beginning, all the great northern nobles opposed it. While dragging on the Senate, Caesar took the initiative to send envoys to give food and grass, allowing the northerners to get more and more aggressive, and they repeatedly met their requirements. Just as the Yankees carried a large amount of material and left with satisfaction, the Caesars' army suddenly launched a lightning raid on them. Unpredictable, less than 30% of the natives in the north were able to escape back."

"What a great Emperor Caesar, he is indeed a little capable," Jiang Kongming's eyes lit up and he suddenly smiled: "The students are looking forward to his arrival."

"So many changes have happened. The Caesars have finished their trip, and it is understandable. So how is it now?" Xu Haifeng nodded and asked the most important question.

Zhang Jie did not dare to neglect and immediately said: "Emperor Caesar himself took charge. The eight major legions in China dispatched six, along with some garrison troops, assembled a huge army of no less than 400,000, and... the Knights of the Temple, which was famous in Caesar. They had almost mobilized soldiers who were thriving in this battle. They were determined to win."

"Is this 400,000? This number is a bit exaggerated. Well... If you want to hold on, the price will be too high." Jiang Kongming murmured to himself.

Although Lu Tongzhou had never spoken, his face was also extremely heavy. The 400,000 army was definitely not a small number. Just because of the few people in Wolong City, it would be not enough to squeeze the other party's teeth.

If the northwest falls, the Lu family will definitely be the one who suffers the most. His eyebrows are frowning tightly, which is not good news.

After seeing off Lu Tongzhou and relocating Zhang Jie, Xu Haifeng said with relief: "It's a fate that comes to Zhang Jie at this time. Otherwise, we will be in the dark."

The appearance of the Caesars and the Han people is too big after all, and it is very difficult to send spies. Xu Haifeng has only been in charge of the high position for several years, and his hands are not that long.

"Hmph... 400,000, so what? War is not something that can be won with too many people." Jiang Kongming changed the topic and asked, "Lord, what experiment did you think you would do when you left the congress hall?"
