First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 333 Pathfinder Pioneer
...

Hearing Mr. Lu's words, Li Guangdu was startled at first, and then he was overjoyed, "Mr. Lu is indeed a great talent, what a clever plan".

Then Li Guangdu looked at a Han captain in the back, "Captain He, you lead the 500 troops from the headquarters to explore the way first, and if there is an ambush, report it immediately."

In such a situation as a bait, Li Guangdu will definitely not send his soldiers to go there. After all, in his opinion, soldiers are precious, and one less is worth one, but Li Guangdu loves one and loses the other after all, unlike Li Shimin. Frank, under Li Shimin's command, Han and Hu love each other as one.

He Xiaowei paused when he heard the words, and had no choice but to respond subduedly. He just heard clearly that this part of the former army was used as a bait, and if it didn't work out, the entire army would be wiped out.

Seeing Li Guangdu walking away, Mr. Lu slowed down his horse and came to the displeased He Xiaowei, leaning sideways and whispering in his ear: "Do as I say, and I will keep you safe."

He Xiaowei was taken aback when he heard the words, a little confused.

Mr. Lu said directly: "When you go to look for Marshal Li, you say, 'The general is dull, lest he can't recognize the ambush, please go with Mr. Lu'", after saying that, Mr. Lu rode away leisurely.

He Xiaowei has always admired Mr. Lu who is very wise and scheming. Although he was puzzled when he heard the words, after gathering 500 people in the headquarters, he still followed his words and went straight to find Li Guangdu.

"Chief Chief, the general is dull and careless. I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize the ambush. Please send a careful and intelligent person to go with me. The general thinks that Mr. Lu is the best candidate. If there is an ambush, he will definitely not be able to hide from Mr. Lu." Eyes," He Xiaowei said bluntly.

Li Guangdu also felt reasonable when he heard the words, and looked at Mr. Lu behind him, "Mr. Lu, would you like to go?"

Mr. Lu's complexion changed slightly, and he looked at Xiaowei He with some unkind eyes, so he had to cup his hands and say, "I wish to go."

Li Guangdu saw this scene in his eyes, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu has worked hard."

After Mr. Lu led He Xiaowei away, Li Guangdu shook his head and laughed and said: "Although the Han people are smart, they always criticize each other, and the internal fighting is too ruthless."

"Chief Chief, what do you mean by this? Who is fighting with whom?" A general next to him scratched his head and asked blankly.

Li Guangdu hated that iron could not be made into steel, so he whipped his horsewhip, "It's just the head of this stupid donkey, if he fights with the Han people, he won't know if he is sold out."

With the former army opening the way, they were no longer cautious, and their marching speed suddenly increased.

While walking, Li Guangdu said: "Mr. Lu proposed the former army as a bait to explore the way. How dangerous it is to explore the way. Captain He became angry because of this, so he deliberately brought Mr. Lu with him. Mr. Lu shot himself in the foot with a stone, How can you give He Xiaowei a good face."

"Ah?" General Liao was very surprised, and then he said angrily: "Working for the chief commander, and he is still here greedy for life and afraid of death, so I chopped him off."

This is also the reason why Li Guangdu appreciates and reuses these reckless bureaucrats. There is no doubt about their loyalty.

Li Guangdu waved his hand, "It's okay, let them fight among themselves, if the Han people in the world are like this, then this is the opportunity for our Liao people to rise."

Five miles ahead, He Xiaowei looked puzzled, but Mr. Lu's expression changed at this time, and he was actually quite happy.

Seeing Mr. Lu looking left and right, stretching his old waist, and looking like he was traveling in mountains and rivers, Xiaowei He hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu, quickly teach me how to avoid danger. If I am not careful, I will be ambushed." .

"He Bin, do you really want to work for the Liao people?" Mr. Lu suddenly turned his head, staring at Xiaowei He and asked.

He Xiaowei froze for a moment when he heard the words, he was a little panicked, his hand was already on the waist knife, "Mr. Lu, what do you mean by that?"

"Exploring the road as a bait is so dangerous. Once the Tang army ambush fails to recognize you as a bait and attack them in groups, the entire army will definitely be wiped out. However, Li Guangdu did not hesitate to appoint Han generals in such a dangerous way. It is so selfish. , how can it be done."Mr. Lu said solemnly.

"We are all Han people. If the Liao people separate the regime and stand on our own, how can it be good for us? They will only use the Han soldiers as scapegoats to charge them. Now that the imperial army is coming, if my guess is right, there must be someone who hired a guide. Baishidong has been captured, and in such a situation, He Bin, you still want to die for the Liaoren?"

Captain He's complexion changed suddenly, and his heart was very complicated. He looked at Mr. Lu and asked, "I heard that Chief Li once rescued you. Why did Mr. Lu betray Chief Chief Li?"

Mr. Lu raised his head and smiled, "I have never served him, so how can I say betrayal? He did help me, but I helped him unify the Liaoren in Guizhou 48 Dongzhai. No debt is owed."

Hearing this, He Bin nodded involuntarily, and immediately said without hesitation: "If Mr. Lu has a way out, a certain family is willing to follow."

Mr. Lu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said directly: "There must be an ambush by the Tang army ahead. Maybe at this time we have been targeted by Tang army scouts. I have checked carefully. If there is an ambush, it will be located in Dalugou, Gufengling, Yingshou You can send scouts to investigate these three places, and if you encounter the Tang army, tell us immediately why we are here, and do not start a war."

He Bin was very excited when he heard the words, and immediately sent his cronies away, and then he said worriedly: "If after I vote for Tang, Li Chief Commander, oh no, Li Guangdu becomes suspicious and doesn't move forward, what should I do?"

Mr. Lu smiled confidently when he heard the words, "He won't. It is true that Li Guangdu is cautious by nature, but he is even more conceited. He will definitely believe what he sees with his own eyes. The reason why I asked you to take the initiative to bring me to explore the road together , is to create a scene where you and I are at odds, he has to believe it."

He Bin's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he shook his head and smiled wryly: "Mr. Lu is very calculating, no wonder I listened to you just now and asked to take you to explore the road, but you glared at me, so I thought I said something wrong ".

Mr. Lu was noncommittal, and said directly: "The Liao people are ignorant of enlightenment and have a sparse population. They also try to reproduce the old Wuhu stories in vain.

In Gufengling, Jiang Baoyi was lying on the ground and dozed off, when suddenly a scout rushed forward, "General, it's not good, the enemy army sent more scouts, they searched carefully along the way, and they will be here soon."

Jiang Baoyi turned around when he heard the words, and cursed: "Zhiniang thief, they searched so carefully, don't they worry about the old nest?"

Then Jiang Baoyi said sharply: "You bring a few elite jumping soldiers, if you need enemy scouts, try to wipe them out."

As the voice fell, another scout came from the foot of the mountain, "Report, General, the enemy army has arrived five miles away, and the number of them is very small, about five hundred or so."

"About [-] reinforcements?" Jiang Baoyi was taken aback for a moment, then he waved his hands and said, "The former army is just exploring the way, don't fall for it, pay attention to concealment, and let them go."

"General, these 500 people are all Han Chinese," the scout continued.

"It's not surprising that most of Li Guangdu's subordinates are Han Chinese," Jiang Baoyi nodded and said, "Letting the Han people come to explore the way, Li Guangdu's mind is really ruthless."
