Chapter 543: Ambush from all sides
Ordinary hunters go into the mountains with hounds to search for prey.
A skilled hunter will use himself as prey to attract prey.
Now Wu Nian is a skilled hunter. Of course, this involves great risks. If the boat capsizes, his life will be lost.
Hunter and prey, the strong is the hunter and the weak is the prey.
That's all.
After a while, Wu Nian looked at the roasted lamb in front of him and said, "The lamb is ripe."
"I'll do it." Wang Qianhu stood up, pulled out the knife inserted into the wood, cut the hind legs of the lamb, and presented them to Wu Nian on a plate.
Then he cut off the remaining three legs of lamb and distributed them to himself and a thousand other households.
Wu Nian held the leg of lamb in his left hand and a mutton knife in his right hand. He cut off strips of meat and ate them with wine.
The four of them were all generals with huge appetites, and in the blink of an eye they had eaten all the roasted lamb except its skeleton. Wu Nian put down his knife and shouted outside the tent.
Immediately, some soldiers came in with a big iron pot and set it on the bonfire. There was a mess of things boiling in the iron pot, which was a hodgepodge.
Wang Qianhu stood up again and planned to feed Wu Nianman.
At this moment, a soldier came in and reported: "Report to the general. The spies caught a child. The child claimed to be Han and said he had military information to report."
"Oh?!" Wu Nian's eyes showed surprise. The three thousand households also raised their eyebrows.
"Yes. Bring him in." Wu Nian raised his right hand and ordered.
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.
The three thousand households sat upright and turned to look at the tent door.
Not long after, two soldiers came in with a child.
After seeing this child, Wu Nian frowned. The child had braids on his head and looked like a child of the Han family. He was wearing a ragged leather jacket and had bare feet. He was thin and black and looked very pitiful.
, only one pair of eyes, very energetic.
The child saw the hodgepodge being cooked in the iron pot and swallowed quickly.
"Who is your surname? Why do you live in Mongolia and Yuan?" Wu Nian felt pity in his heart, but this guy was also very suspicious. He put on a majestic posture and asked.
Wu Nian's aura was so earth-shattering.
A timid person will definitely show his true colors in front of him.
The child's expression didn't change much, but he quickly withdrew his eyes from the big iron pot. Holding his fists, he bent down and asked Wu Nian, "But General Wu is in front?"
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed.
"So that General Wu will know. My surname is Lu, and I have no real name. My nickname is Yan Xun. I have been living in Mengyuan since I was sensible, and I have been living with my mother. I don't know how I came to Mengyuan. Later, my mother died of illness, and I was helpless.
, just begging for a living in the county town."
Lu Yanxun's articulation was clear and his eyes were straight. Although he was downcast, he was full of energy.
Wu Nian looked at him and guessed that even if his mother was not from a wealthy family, she should be from a well-off family.
As for how it came here, it was probably plundered by the Mongolian people.
Lu Yanxun.
From this nickname, you can glean a lot of things.
"You are brave." Wu Nian nodded, then looked up at Wang Qianhu. Wang Qianhu understood, and immediately picked up the iron spoon, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, scooped out a bowl of hodgepodge, and came forward to hand it to
He looked at Lu Yanxun, reached out and patted his head, and said kindly: "Eat."
He was completely different from him in commanding heavy armored and heavy ax soldiers, slaughtering cities and exterminating species.
"Thank you."
Lu Yanxun was already hungry and thirsty. When he saw the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, his stomach growled suddenly. However, he held it back and bowed to Wu Nian and Wang Qianhu respectively before picking up the bowls and chopsticks.
The ground was dirty, so I sat down and started eating with big mouthfuls.
"It's so hot! It's so hot!" He took one bite and almost burned him to death, but he couldn't bear to spit out the food, so he had to open his mouth and exhale.
Wu Nian felt even more pity when he saw this, and said to the three thousand households: "How many of us Han people in Liaodong were plundered by the Mongolians and used as slaves and maids. We were beaten to death, killed, and starved to death, no matter how many people we had."
number."
"You have to remember that this is all because of the incompetence of our soldiers."
"yes."
The three thousand households immediately corrected their posture and bowed to Wu Nian.
Lu Yanxun heard this, took a serious look at Wu Nian, and then gulped down the hodgepodge in the bowl.
After finishing the bowl, his face quickly turned rosy, his whole body felt warm and he no longer shivered.
"General, I have a military report." He first put the bowls and chopsticks aside, then stood up and saluted Wu Nian with cupped fists.
"Say it. There will be a reward if you agree." Wu Nian nodded and said.
"I don't ask for rewards. I have many beggar companions. If I agree, please general take us back to Liaodong and settle us down." Lu Yanxun shook his head and said seriously.
"This is what I should do. No matter what you say is good or not, as long as I don't die in Mengyuan, I will take you back to Liaodong."
He is a loyal kid. Wu Nian calmed down and said solemnly.
"Thank you, General." Lu Yanxun was immediately overjoyed. He bent down and bowed deeply. Then he raised his head and said, "General, we have learned that Liu Shanyang, Li Guanyun, Liu Fuguang and other commanders gathered together, including three people.
The thirteen thousand captains inside are carefully approaching the general, intending to surround the general here."
"I analyzed it and found that the northeast is the weakest. The general can break out from there."
Wu Nian has experienced many storms and waves, and has met countless people. I think I can't make a mistake. This child has a very upright character.
The child's mother taught him very well.
I also saw that this kid wanted to go back to Liaodong.
This is different from many Han people living in Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty. Many Han people were enslaved.
That is, Han slaves.
He was surprised by Lu Yanxun's intelligence gathering ability, and Lu Yanxun was able to determine which side was weak.
This guy is a bit special.
In fact, Wu Nian had no information, but he could also tell that the south was definitely where the Mongolian people were strong, and the north was where they were weak.
The Meng Yuan people should have predicted that if he breaks through, he will definitely choose the south.
Because the north goes deep into the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
All the way to the north is Dadu. No matter how arrogant Wu Nian was, he would not dare to attack the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty with three thousand soldiers.
And if he delays for too long now, he may really attract thousands of households in the Mongolian and Yuan capital to attack him.
It's time to close the net.
Wu Nian thought for a moment and asked, "Are there ten thousand households?"
"No." Lu Yanxun shook his head and said.
"Then it's not worth mentioning." Wu Nian sneered and said contemptuously.
Wu Nian looked up at Lu Yanxun and asked seriously: "Are you afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid. My mother asked me to live well." Lu Yanxun said frankly.
"Then I will teach your mother what she has never taught you. Men, death is lighter than a feather, and heavier than Mount Tai. To put it simply, there are those who choke to death while eating, those who fall to death while walking, and those who freeze to death. There are also those who die with belts.
Tens of thousands of soldiers died on the charge. If you must die, how would you choose to die?"
Wu Nian asked after thinking for a moment.
"Then I would rather die on the way to charge." Lu Yanxun replied after thinking carefully.
"Then, bring your friends with you. If I die, you will die too. If I win, I will take you back to Liaodong."
Wu Nian said with a smile on his face.
