Chapter 50 Stealing the house? There is still a chance to win
"It's General Lu. What a pity." When the King of Wu saw the body of the old general dragged back by Lu Xingshi, he recognized his identity at a glance.
Then he quickly turned to Lu Xingshi: "Young Master Lu is an extraordinary martial artist. He killed the general and captured the flag in the battle. If you don't give up, you can be a cavalry captain."
Then he promoted Lu Xingshi.
Lu Xingshi didn't care about this position. It was not very useful to him.
He had a boss above him and had to take care of various things below. How could he have so much energy?
"Your Highness, King of Wu, I was entrusted by my master to help you enter the capital. I will give up my official position. I am a straightforward person and it is easy to offend people. It is not easy to mix in the officialdom." Lu Xingshi refused directly.
He didn't care, so he didn't want it.
When the King of Wu heard this, he looked embarrassed. It was the first time he was rejected.
It was just because Lu Xingshi was too brave, he really needed Lu Xingshi as his subordinate.
He had just been attacked by the enemy and entered the camp. Normally, he would have lost. However, Lu Xingshi not only defeated the enemy but also dragged the commander back to death. None of his generals dared to say that they could do it.
Lu Xingshi not only did it, but he was not injured, which showed that he was able to do it with ease.
However, the other party refused his promotion, which made him feel at ease, indicating that the possibility that the other party was a spy or an insider was very small.
Because it meant that the other party took the initiative to stay away from the center of power.
"Young Master Lu is really a free and easy person. Since you don't want to, you can hold a nominal position first. When you help me clean up the world in the future, it will be justified." King Wu gave Lu Xingshi a way out.
This time, Lu Xingshi did not refuse. He also saw that the other party gave him a way out. He couldn't do it again and again. He had to help the other party to fight to Kyoto.
Kunlun was in his hands, so he had to go online officially instead of continuing to fish.
As for breaking the contract, he was not so shameless.
Seeing that Lv Xingshi accepted it, the King of Wu was relieved. He was afraid that Lv Xingshi was young and did not understand the ways of the world. If he refused it bluntly, everyone would be embarrassed.
The next step was to win him over. As long as Lv Xingshi was won over to become one of his generals, the rest would be easy.
Then he began to repair the camp and order. These things were supervised by the King of Wu himself. However, after seeing the losses, his face was very ugly.
Most of the war horses were lost, and nearly a thousand people of the three thousand Cangwu army died in this surprise attack.
In addition, there were also different losses of food and fodder, auxiliary soldiers and weapons, etc. It can only be said that this time the vitality was really damaged.
Cavalry without war horses is simply a joke.
Lv Xingshi was calm and looked like he didn't understand it at all.
As the saying goes, one should not interfere in politics if he is not in the position. Lv Xingshi is not the chief clerk now, but the cavalry captain, which is still a nominal position and does not care about things.
"Report~"
A meeting was underway in the camp. Except for Lü Xingshi, the faces of the senior officials were not very good, and now they were interrupted.
"Twenty miles outside the camp, we found traces of the enemy army, carrying the imperial flag. The remnants of the Lu family army have been received."
"There are about 150,000 people in total, and they are heading towards our army."
After the scout finished the intelligence, everyone in the camp except Lü Xingshi was stunned.
"I know, go down." The King of Wu waved his hand, swallowed his saliva, and his expression was complicated.
"Everyone, the main force of the enemy has arrived."
150,000 people, this number is not something they can resist at all.
If they had not encountered a surprise attack, they would still have a chance to fight guerrilla warfare directly through the mobility of the cavalry. Everyone in the Cangwu army would have the skill of riding and shooting, and it would be possible to seize the opponent's weakness and counterattack.
But now, there is no possibility of winning.
As for Lü Xingshi, he was also undecided in the eyes of the King of Wu.
Of course, in Lü Xingshi's own eyes, 150,000 people are not 15 people, how could he have such ability.
Even if he stood there and let him kill them, he might not be able to kill them all.
When he has the great magical power of moving mountains and filling the sea, he will be able to do such a thing.
Otherwise, he will not be able to kill them all even if he is exhausted.
What? Charge? How to charge? There are 150,000 people and horses, so dense that you can't see the end.
It only takes four words to say it, but if you really look at it, it is basically like a torrent that can't be seen at a glance.
"Retreat!" Lu Xingshi was the first to express his opinion.
If someone with a problem in his brain said to fight to the death, Lu Xingshi would have to charge into the battle.
Fortunately, everyone was very calm. No one questioned Lu Xingshi's idea, and no one deliberately sang the opposite tune because Lu Xingshi was directly changed from the chief clerk to the cavalry captain.
There is only one life. Whether it is facing the 150,000 troops or facing Lu Xingshi's fist, it is not a good idea.
"Okay, notify all camps to only bring three days of food, and all other food and supplies should be abandoned!" The King of Wu had a way out and ran away directly.
"Your Highness, the other reinforcements that are going to join us..." the deputy general asked in a low voice.
It doesn't matter if they run away, but the other troops are not sure. If they come to join us, they will directly run into the main force.
"Send someone to notify them to evacuate, go..." The King of Wu looked at the map and then said, "Go to Yingchuanjian to join us."
Although the King of Wu said this, he actually didn't hold much hope. These troops had not been in contact for three days, and he was worried that the whole army would be wiped out.
If the other party can snipe him, they can definitely snipe his other troops.
After receiving the order, everyone dispersed, giving Lu Xingshi a feeling of losing.
"Your Highness, the King of Wu, this imperial flag can only be raised by people in the royal family, right? Then who is the person who came here?" Lu Xingshi asked.
It is unlikely that the king will lead the army in person, and Lu Xingshi suspects that it is the crown prince.
If we talk about the person whose interests are most threatened by the King of Wu, he is the only one. In addition, the crown prince has no autonomy, so it is possible that he is used as a puppet of the righteousness.
The King of Wu also made some guesses, but shook his head: "I don't know, it is very likely that the group of rebellious false emperors raised the flag."
He certainly couldn't say it, which would easily affect the morale of the army.
"It's really hateful... But Your Highness, this is also a good opportunity." Lu Xingshi said abruptly.
The King of Wu was a little confused, what good opportunity?
"150,000 troops are heading south, and now the capital is empty. If Your Highness leads the remaining troops to pretend to retreat and take a detour to attack the capital, you can settle the matter in one fell swoop." Lu Xingshi gave a suggestion that would go straight to the heart of the matter.
The King of Wu was very tempted, but then he rejected Lu Xingshi, saying that it was too dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would lose everything.
Lu Xingshi's plan to steal the house was indeed useful. If the King of Liao encountered this situation, he would agree to it directly, but the King of Wu would not. He wanted to be safe.
Unfortunately, no matter how safe he was, could he still keep the court stable?
