Crossing straight to the blue sky

Chapter 895: Coming to Form an Alliance

bother you for something!

No one knows why General Lu came, but it is definitely not a good thing.

"What is he doing here? Nothing is happening in Qianmu City!"

"Yesterday the enemy attacked the east gate, and today General Lu came to the gate. Is there something going on?"

  Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the suspicious staff member said confidently, "I am not thinking the worst of him, but the current situation makes us think too much. He came as soon as the enemy attacked him.

I'm not speaking without purpose!

The Central Plains is in such a mess now. Duan and Tan are fighting General Shan one moment and now they are fighting Marshal Qian in the northwest. Duke Zhou is also involved.

General Shan originally only guarded his fiefdom, but now he has also come to fight.

Think about it, although the situation in the Central Plains is chaotic, there are some clues to follow."

"Alright, alright, we're talking about General Lu, why are you talking about something so far away? The one who attacked us was General Shan, what does it have to do with General Lu? Don't forget, Qianmu City is also under the jurisdiction of General Tan, General Lu's family and clan are all there, how dare he collude with General Shan? Don't talk about something that has nothing to do with you. If it gets to General Tan's ears, it will be a disaster for the Lu family."

The staff who knew his colleagues well interrupted him and said that if he continued, the sky would fall.

"What are your plans, General? Do you want to see me?"

"Let's meet him and see what he wants." General Wu said, thinking about what his staff had said. Anything can happen in troubled times.

No matter what, he needs to plan it carefully.

It seems that there is a hidden force disrupting the game of chess in the Central Plains. The visible chess path is shrouded in a layer of fog and nothing can be seen.

The invisible enemy is the most terrifying.

The few of them discussed it again before leaving.

"This is the general's mansion! It doesn't look as majestic as the prefectural government office!" Looking at the mansion in front of him, Qingyun looked around and then sighed.

General Lu brought Qingyun with him to the appointment, while Deputy General Sun Hui and others were scattered in the city and hidden in the streets near the general's mansion, ready to gather information at any time.

The army was stationed by the river outside the city, not far from the city. In half a day, if Qingyun and his men had any accidents, the army would immediately attack the city.

Qingyun and his friends came early on purpose, wandered around, then went to the prefectural government office, and then brought gifts to the general's mansion.

  The plaques of the prefectural government offices were all painted gold. The stone lions in front of the general's mansion were crouching with a piece missing, leaving a gap as big as a fist.

Qingyun muttered in his heart: Is the General's Mansion really that poor? Or is it pretending to be poor?

The difference between the two is huge!

General Lu did not express his opinion. The more you talk about this kind of thing, the more mistakes you will make. It would be best for the general to look at it himself.

Qingyun glanced at General Lu, smiled, then ran over and knocked on the door.

At present, her official identity is General Lu’s deputy general. How could she trouble the general to do such a trivial matter as knocking on the door?

"Who is it? Here I come! Who are you looking for?" The doorman opened the door and saw two strangers. He looked them up and down and asked.

"Young man, this is our Master Lu. He has made an appointment with General Wu and has come here specially to keep the appointment. Please help him pass the message." Qingyun bowed and leaned closer to the gatehouse while bowing, and secretly stuffed a silver coin into his sleeve.

"It turns out to be Mr. Lu! The general has instructed that when Mr. Lu arrives, he should be taken to the study." The doorman remained calm as he checked the visiting card handed over by Qingyun, verified the identities of the two people, took them to the living room, and then went to notify the housekeeper.

General Wu was not in the mansion, so the butler led the two of them to wait in the side hall outside the study. After drinking a cup of tea, they saw General Wu who had arrived late.

General Wu first apologized to the two and explained why he was late. Today, the enemy suddenly attacked outside the East City, and he was fighting on the city wall. He rushed back to the mansion as soon as the enemy retreated. Qingyun didn't know whether General Lu heard it or not. She heard that General Wu valued this relative, so he took time out of his busy schedule to come back just to see them.

This affection and this thought are precious!

  In other words, I am very busy, busy fighting, and I don't know whether I can keep my city. In this situation, there is no need to mention major issues, he can't do anything even if I mention it. Small matters, do I need him to help? Of course, I will solve them myself!

Then the two of them exchanged pleasantries, asking how is your family? How is your family? How have you been recently?

They both answered: Very good!

Qingyun listened with a smile on his face the whole time, and laughed in his heart.

"I didn't expect it was really you. I received a visiting card two days ago and thought someone was impersonating you." General Wu said meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" General Lu asked puzzledly.

"Nothing much. There were assassins pretending to be servants in the mansion and assassinating people. We caught a few and hung them at the city gate. I thought the assassins were coming again."

Qingyun remained calm, thinking that the assassination plan was indeed not feasible.

General Lu: “.”

General Lu's heart skipped a beat but he tried to remain calm. It turned out that being a spy was not suitable for him.

General Lu took a sip of tea, glanced at the general next to him, and said directly without beating around the bush: "Actually, I came here this time to discuss something important with you."

General Wu did not ask, so General Lu spoke on his own.

"Oh? What's the important matter you want to discuss with me?" General Wu looked at him in confusion, his eyes swept over the young man next to him and asked, "Who is this?"

"My deputy general, Guan Yun. Guan Yun, this is General Wu." General Lu did not expect him to ask the general, and did not know his intention, so he had to introduce the two men.

"General Wu! I have long heard of your great name. After meeting you today, I find that your reputation is well-deserved!" Qingyun stood up and saluted him. General Wu nodded and looked at General Lu.

Qingyun sat down and looked at General Lu. When he saw him nod, he spoke.

"General Wu, my general is not good at speaking and is worried that he can't explain himself clearly, so he brought me along. I will explain it on my general's behalf. I hope the general will forgive me.

The general has come here this time to form an alliance with General Wu."

"Alliance? What do you mean? You and I are both under the command of General Tan, so how can we form an alliance?" General Wu looked at the deputy general Guan Yun, and then looked at his brother-in-law.

  General Lu was also confused. This was not what he said when he came. Wasn't it to discuss persuading the enemy to surrender? How did it become an alliance?

But he had no expression on his face, so you couldn't tell.

"Yes, an alliance. I'm sure the general is well aware of the current situation in the Central Plains. It's very chaotic.

The general just said that there was a sneak attack by the enemy.

Unfortunately, our Qianmu City was also attacked two months ago.

Let me guess.

General Duan and General Tan suddenly withdrew from the battlefield. Do you think General Shan will take this opportunity to attack and seize Yuzhou in one fell swoop?"
