Chapter 1,754 Meeting old friends in the supply camp
Xiang Jing gritted his teeth and was about to say more, but Liu Yu was the first to say: "Commander Liu, I humbly accept orders. Now I go to the supply camp to select personnel."
As he said that, he turned around and walked out of the tent. Xiang Jing stamped his feet anxiously. Liu Yu stopped and did not look back. He said in a deep voice: "Brothers, I will come back as soon as I go. You must listen to the commander here."
In this army, there can only be one person who can give orders, and this person is our Marshal Liu."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight out, leaving only a tent full of generals and colonels with complicated and thoughtful expressions. Liu Laozhi said calmly: "Okay, let's continue the military discussion."
Liu Yu was walking in a hurry all the way, his mind was thinking rapidly about what had just happened. As expected, the Beifu generals were no longer focused on marching and fighting, but on how to plunder and make money. The so-called eminent monks
The master broke the law and screened the people, but it was just an excuse to monopolize these manors. When the time comes, he will first search for gold and silver treasures, store grain and cloth for a few days, and then collect enough. After all, he is here as a guest army, and the demon thieves only need to escape
Go, even if the rebellion is successfully suppressed and the demon thieves are not eliminated, they can come again next time. As for the life and death of the people of Wu, that is not their concern.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt bursts of heartache. When Xie An formed the Beifu Army, everyone was willing to serve the country and join the army with the hope of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and regaining the lost land. However, over the past few decades, they have experienced so many setbacks, conspiracies, betrayals, and many...
The blood that people once had has cooled down, and their original intentions have been thrown out of the sky. Getting actual benefits in the war is the only thing that needs to be considered. If Xie An sees that the Beifu Army has now become such a bandit group, who knows what will happen.
How heartbreaking it is!
The more Liu Yu thought about it, the angrier he became, and his steps became faster and faster. Suddenly, an electric light flashed in his mind, and he stopped. The Wuzhuang he was about to go to was probably not that simple. Liu Yi had done it last time.
Occupied and briefly searched, but nothing was found. If it was really a manor abandoned by the enemy in a hurry, it would not be so clean, leaving no traces. Only by being prepared, or even using a cover-up method to avoid the search, could it be possible.
It will be like this. If Tianshi Dao really left the main force behind, it is likely to be gathered in the Wuzhuang area. His own reconnaissance may determine the life or death of the army. With the attack power and surprise attack shown by Tianshi Dao this time,
If we really take advantage of the fact that the army is divided and the Chinese army has insufficient remaining troops to attack, the consequences will be disastrous.
And thinking about the performance of everyone in the tent today, all the military commanders were thinking about making a fortune and had lost their basic battlefield vigilance. Even if Liu Laozhi forced them not to plunder, I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince the crowd to let him go.
The reconnaissance and search of the Wuzhuang area was no problem for the coach. He also got rid of himself before the conflict intensified today. It seemed that this time Liu Laozhi really wanted to win, so he could give up his doubts about himself and use it freely.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's eyes suddenly opened up. He breathed a long sigh of relief and walked into the gate of the supply camp. He only heard a voice coming from the side: "Ji Nu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to see you again here!"
Liu Yu's expression changed, and he looked to one side. He saw a big man with a long beard and a yellow face, standing with his arms folded and a smile. Liu Yu laughed: "Kong Jing, Kong Jing, you kid has been so troubled all these years."
Where did you go? I have been looking for you for a long time after Feishui, and they all said that you were discharged from the army and returned to your hometown. What happened?!"
This person is not someone else, but Kong Jing, the owner of the blacksmith building when Liu Yu first entered Beifu. This man was different from other Beifu brothers. He retired from the army and returned home after the Battle of Feishui, and did not even participate in the subsequent Northern Expedition.
After the war, Liu Yu was displaced and had been living in the north for many years, and he had never seen Kong Jing. After many years, he did not expect to meet again under such circumstances. It was really a surprise.
Kong Jing said with a smile: "My old Kong was originally a local tycoon in Shanyang. I was just a steward of the land for the Xie family. When Xie Xianggong established the Beifu Army, as a subordinate of the Xie family, I naturally wanted to join the army to serve the country and finish the Fei campaign.
Shui, most of the Beifu Army disbanded and returned to their hometowns, and I was among them. After all, I am not from Jingkou, and I am not a born soldier."
At this point, Kong Jing's smile gradually disappeared and his expression became serious: "However, this time the country is unlucky and demons and thieves are causing trouble. All the estates in the states and counties in Wudi have been occupied by demons and thieves. My family is not immune. If
If Xu Xianzhi's brother hadn't informed me when he fled, I'm afraid that I, Lao Kong, would be like those nephews and nephews of the Xie family, and make meat sauce into people's stomachs."
Liu Yu curled up his lips. These words were not funny at all. They even sounded like making people want to cry. He said sternly: "The demon thieves destroy humanity and abandon both humans and gods. We are here this time to destroy them. Old
Kong, I came here this time just to choose..."
Kong Jing waved his hand: "I already know the purpose of your coming, and I have prepared people for you. They are all villagers from Wudi. Like me, they have escaped from various manors. They can ride horses, and
Fifty fast horses, I have prepared them here. You want to reconnoiter the enemy this time, not fight, Ling Fei, come here."
Following Kong Jing's words, a young man in his early twenties rushed over. He was wearing the clothes of a civilian husband, with a forehead block on his head, and no armor on his body. He was a typical farmer carrying supplies, with only a pair of big ears that attract wind.
, seemed particularly attractive, and he saluted Liu Yu: "Liu Canjun, my name is Ling Fei, I am from Wuzhuang, and I will lead the way for you this time."
Liu Yu smiled and patted Ling Fei on the shoulder: "Brother Ling, you don't have to be so polite. We are on a mission this time to spy on the military situation. It's fine as long as we are brothers and we don't have to be limited to our military positions. By the way, you said you are
People from Wuzhuang, can you tell us about Wuzhuang and the surrounding environment?"
Lingfei nodded: "Our Wuzhuang is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a network of rivers nearby, and a Wuzhuang River passes through it in front of the village. The Wuzhuang River is used for irrigation in the village and is also used as a river to protect the village.
To enter Wuzhuang, you can only pass through the Haohan Bridge on the Wu River."
Liu Yu frowned: "So, this Wuzhuang is surrounded by the Wu River? There is only one bridge to enter. If there is an ambush, wouldn't it be impossible to retreat if we cut off the bridge?"
Ling Fei said sternly: "Yes, the Wu River often floods, so the dam has been raised, which is more than ten feet higher than the river bed. The Wu River is also four or five feet wide. It is not a small river that can be crossed in one go. That's why
The local terrain is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it has become a nest run by demon thieves."
