Crossing straight to the blue sky

Chapter 896 You Know Better Than Me

Definitely!

General Lu nodded and muttered in his heart, "If there is no army to resist, only those who don't fight will be fools."

General Wu remained silent. If he were a single general, he would have seized such a good opportunity, as he had the right time, place and people.

Having said that, it was Duan Jiaxu and Tan Linyu who launched the sneak attack first, and they counterattacked later. No matter where they start from, they are right.

  Qingyun glanced at General Wu and said calmly, "Lushan City is close to General Shan's fiefdom. After the army withdraws, who will be the first to suffer?

Tell me, was it General Shan’s army that ambushed you?

Once General Shan's army attacks Lushan City with all their might, will General Tan and General Duan send their army to rescue it?"

This is so heartbreaking!

General Lu looked at General Wu with sympathy. A war was going on over there, so rescue was unlikely. Besides, the battlefield was far away from Lushan, so even if they wanted to rescue, it would be too late.

General Wu finally looked straight at the young general opposite him. He was in his early twenties, full of youthful vigor and ambition. He was already a general, not the kind who just lived a lazy life, but a general who had experienced the baptism of war.

He is well-organized, sharp-tongued, and has his own unique inferences about the battle situation.

His gaze turned to General Lu next to him. They had been brothers-in-law for decades. He knew about his character, if not 80% or 90% of him, at least 60% or 70%.

To put it nicely, he is conservative, but to put it bluntly, he is not enterprising and has been inflexible for decades. Therefore, General Tan did not think much of him and sent someone else to supervise him.

  Anyone who dares to lobby him is definitely not General Tan’s man!

As far as he knew, that man's surname was Wang, and this man's surname was Guan. They were either General Tan's men, General Lu's men, or...

"Why should I trust you? Do you have the ability? Or can you be the master of Qianmu City? If I remember correctly, you are not the chief general of Qianmu City, right?"

  He tried to trick him into joining the pirate ship with empty words... He's so bold!

General Lu: ...

He always felt that General Wu was hinting at him, and he felt extremely embarrassed, but his face was expressionless. Anyway, his face was dark and no one could tell anything.

Besides, General Wu was not wrong. He was not the one in charge of Qianmu City before, and he is not the one in charge now.

But there is a difference between the two. In the former, he was forced to abdicate because someone seized his throne, while in the latter, he assisted willingly.

  Qingyun raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, he was trying to sow discord in front of her!

It's a pity to throw your seductive eyes to a blind person.

General Lu naturally saw the look in General Wu's eyes, which was a bit complicated. It was not easy to tell outsiders about their internal affairs, so he pretended not to see it and continued, "He can make the decision. General Guan's words are my words. The matter of the commander of Qianmu City has been resolved, so don't worry."

  General Wu:

General Wu choked. No wonder General Tan disliked him. There was a reason for it. If it were him, he wouldn't like it either.

Qingyun said domineeringly: "Duan Jiaxu and Tan Linyu will not come to rescue, but I have a million troops who can help you resist the enemy and protect your Lushan City and its people. With me, I can end the rainy season in Lushan City, and from now on, there will be good weather and peace."

  What a loud tone!

General Wu disagreed, saying that the boy was too arrogant and did not know his own limitations.

He has experienced countless things, enjoyed wealth and glory, and can also eat simple meals. He has seen all kinds of people. A few empty words are nothing.

I thought this person was somewhat extraordinary, but it turns out he is just a boaster.

Qingyun glanced at General Wu's expression and cursed in her heart: Damn it, every time she tells the truth no one listens, but when she tells lies people believe her.

  General Wu lost his patience and was about to serve tea to see the guest off when he heard the boy say in a sarcasm: "Yes, compared to me, General Shan is still more powerful. A wise bird chooses a tree to roost in. I understand that you chose General Shan." You understand nothing!

"You're talking nonsense!" General Wu was furious. He turned to General Lu and asked, "You just let him spit blood at me and didn't care? You and I have been brothers-in-law for decades. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

  General Lu:

How could the general dare to interfere?

Since he couldn't take care of the general, he could only comfort General Wu. He quickly poured him a cup of tea and said, "Calm down, calm down, and talk to him if you have anything to say."

After persuading him, General Wu turned around and winked at Qingyun, "You too, if you have anything to say, talk it over nicely."

One moment they talked about persuading surrender, the next moment they talked about forming an alliance, one moment they framed someone, the next moment they colluded with someone. Even the Bodhisattva would be furious, not to mention General Wu. Even he, a bystander, was filled with anger.

General Wu was almost mad at the attitude of General Lu and the smooth talker. He looked back and forth between the two of them, then slammed the table and cursed: "Great! Great! You are dragging me into this under the pretext of forming an alliance. I think you are the ones who are colluding with General Shan, right? No wonder you keep trying to persuade me."

"You don't think General Tan and General Duan can come back, do you?" Qingyun sneered and interrupted him without any politeness.

  Who are you showing it to?

"how do I say this?"

General Wu glanced at Guan Yun, who was calm and composed, and his furious expression instantly disappeared. For the sake of his relative, he took the tea from General Lu.

“On the way to Lushan, Duan Jiaxu and Tan Linyu started a war with Qian Qizhi from the northwest.

Qian Qizhi had three million soldiers and Duan Jiaxu and Tan Linyu had only about four million soldiers in total. Eighty percent of them were drawn from various prefectures and counties, with the injured and disabled left to fill the vacancies.

Regardless of whether the generals of various prefectures and counties have any complaints, can such a hodgepodge of troops be deployed in a unified manner? "

Qianmu City is a ready-made example, where the elite troops were withdrawn.

Everyone has selfish desires and some are close to them and some are distant from them.

It is certainly better to lose other people's army than to lose your own army. It can not only preserve your own troops, but also consume the troops from all over the place and destroy the enemy.

  Three birds with one stone!

General Wu looked calm and composed, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. If he hadn't been holding the handrail so tightly that his veins were bulging, one would have thought he was really calm.

"Even if the two of them can stop the Northwest Army, don't forget that there is Duke Zhou waiting nearby. Opportunities to take advantage of others' misfortunes are not always available. It is never too late to take revenge."

Duan Jiaxu raided Duke Zhou's territory without any reason, and he must be held accountable for this.

"Have you thought about the consequences if Duan Jiaxu and Tan Linyu are defeated?"

There are only two possible outcomes for the Central Plains: either it will be divided up by Duke of Zhou and General Shan, or a new overlord will emerge and unify the Central Plains.

"Why didn't General Duan and General Tan join forces with Duke Zhou to attack the Northwest Army? Why are you so sure that the Northwest Army will form an alliance with Duke Zhou?" General Wu asked after thinking for a while.

Qingyun shook his index finger in denial, "Hey, I didn't say that. General Wu, you can't take my words out of context. I heard that you once served in the Meng Family Army. I think you know the reason better than me!"

Thank you for the reward from Tiantianxue, muah
