Chapter 121: Plan Accomplished

"Me?" This topic successfully aroused Lu Yao's interest, he put down the wine bowl, frowned and thought for a long time. "Dong Haoming's military merit was scary in his early years, but he was a bit confused when he was old, and he didn't even check whether the emperor was in the palace, so he went to assassinate, if he didn't suffer, who would?"

He drank a mouthful of wine and ate two peanuts handed by the bandits: "Besides, his sons have no ability. I fought with his second son Dong Haoye by the Xiangrong Lake, this kid had read two military books somewhere, and dared to lead troops. His father probably wanted him to get some military merit on the battlefield so he could have a smooth career, who knew he met me in that battle!"

At this time, the fish soup boiled by the cook was also served on the table, the thick soup floating with a few chicken feather vegetables, two tender mushrooms, and a small handful of thin and elastic hand-rolled noodles. He Chunhua took advantage of the heat to drop a few drops of wine into the fish soup, which was so fragrant that the carnivorous creatures within two hundred meters were swallowing their saliva wildly.

He watched Lu Yao drink most of the bowl of soup in one gulp, then asked: "How did that battle go, General Lu, tell me?"

Someone wanted to hear his proud past, and Lu Yao was happy, wiped his mouth and said: "At that time, Dong Haoye calculated that our camp by the lake was empty, and brought more than a thousand people to steal the camp, and almost succeeded! Fortunately, I brought three hundred people to patrol, and saw the request for help flame in the sky, so I rushed back."

He Chunhua gave a thumbs up: "Three hundred against more than a thousand, amazing."

"Haha, this kid was actually stupid enough to ride a white horse! On a dark night, that horse was simply shining white, and I shot him down with one arrow. Once the general flag fell, the army's heart scattered, that thousand people were just a mob, and they were scattered by us without two rounds..."

￥￥￥￥￥

Wu Shaoyi was distracted for a while, but the troops down the mountain hadn't come up yet, and the purple sable came back first.

"There are troops hidden under Suozi Rock, at least five hundred, all sitting in the night, but not lighting a fire. I saw two guys whispering and laughing, and as a result, they were whipped. By the way, I also saw a few familiar faces inside, these are indeed Lu Yao's subordinates."

It actually spoke, but no one here was surprised, it was already not strange.

Wu Shaoyi asked it: "How far is Suozi Rock from County Magistrate Village?"

"It only takes a few dozen breaths for me to jump over, it probably takes you humans ten minutes." The purple sable added, "Suozi Rock has a spacious space, so it can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time."

Wu Shaoyi's face suddenly became very ugly.

So close, but these people didn't go to County Magistrate Village to roast fire and eat fish, preferring to hide under Suozi Rock in the cold dew, not even lighting a campfire, just fearing being discovered... could it be that they were collectively squatting in the pit? From the meeting invitation sent by Lu Yao, the three parties agreed to bring two hundred people each to Shuangyue Pool, both for balance and defense.

Now Lu Yao actually secretly added manpower to Suozi Rock, this is unilaterally breaking the contract!

He knew that Lu Yao could never be trusted!

Wu Shaoyi took a deep breath, told himself to be calm, and then asked the purple sable: "What about County Magistrate Village, what did you see?"

"Lu Yao and a man were sitting by the big lake at the village entrance, with a huge fish king in front of them. The two were roasting fish and drinking wine while laughing and talking. I heard Lu Yao boasting about his various battle achievements, and even called that man 'He lord'! By the way, he also offered advice to the other party on how to take Wuzhou and defeat the Grand Marshal!"

Wu Shaoyi's face changed.

Lu Yao sitting with a royal court official eating fish and drinking wine? This scene is very discordant to think about.

As for dealing with the Grand Marshal, that is something the royal court has to worry about, and others will not ask Lu Yao for his opinion.

That man surnamed He must be an official.

"These two also gossiped about several generals, including General Pei. He lord praised him for being resourceful and steady, but Lu Yao said that being steady has good and bad, General Pei's concubine slept with someone, and General Pei didn't turn against the adulterer." The purple sable scratched its belly, "The two laughed for a long time, He lord asked about the adulterer, Lu Yao said it was General Xiaoyao."

"By the way, that 'He lord' is followed by government troops in light armor. I turned around the village and there are at least two hundred government troops, looking nervous."

Wu Shaoyi pressed his hand on the knife handle, his face iron blue: "Good, good, Lu thief is really going to take our lives to surrender!"

New hatred and old hatred surged up together.

The guide on the side was shocked and stared: "General Wu, don't fall into the enemy's trap, those government troops are the targets we want to behead! Lu General is just stabilizing him, waiting for you and General Pei to sacrifice the flag together!"

"You drink and eat fish with the target of beheading?" Wu Shaoyi laughed instead of being angry, "Didn't you say earlier that there was no abnormality in the village?"

"I..."

"The number of government troops is small, Lu Yao can eat them himself, why must he wait for us to go together?"

The guide couldn't answer, he couldn't say that Boss Lu didn't want to suffer damage himself, right? He had to bite the bullet and say: "Think about that flying arrow message, someone must be provoking the relationship in secret!"

The guide still wanted to argue, Wu Shaoyi didn't want to listen anymore, and cut off his head with a backhand.

The knife head was still dripping blood, and he had already sent someone to pass the order to Pei Xinyong. Lu Yao not only broke the contract and brought all his manpower, but also conspired with the government troops to scheme against him, how could he, Wu Shaoyi, be so easy to kill? This meeting was strongly promoted by Pei Xinyong, and this person's temperament was relatively peaceful. In order to win his combat power, Wu Shaoyi asked the scouts to focus on rendering Lu Yao's arrogant words. Pei Xinyong's most favored concubine was beautiful, the key was that she was thirty years younger, and old Pei was over fifty, busy with military affairs, how could he be responsive? That time he took troops out, fought for more than four months, the concubine not only got along with others, but also became pregnant.

Pei Xinyong couldn't bear it even if he was steady, and in a rage, he directly threw the concubine to death, without even asking who the adulterer was, and drank sullen wine for half a month afterwards.

This kind of thing is a thorn in the heart for any man.

What's more wonderful is that the adulterer General Xiaoyao has died in battle, even if Pei Xinyong knows this news now, he can't shake him awake and kill him a second time.

Wu Shaoyi's heart fire was prosperous, instead, he was not in a hurry to succeed, and let the whole army stand by, waiting for Pei Xinyong's reply.

During this period, Lu Yao sent scouts again.

Wu Shaoyi's subordinates were polite, only saying that the general was not easy to wake up from drinking, delaying going up the mountain, and would continue to advance after a short rest.

After another half an hour, Pei Xinyong's reply finally came, very simple: already replenished manpower, willing to go to Suozi Rock to drag seven hundred elite soldiers.

Once he agreed, Wu Shaoyi had confidence in his heart, waved his hand and said: "Go, target County Magistrate Village!"

Pei Xinyong also transferred the remaining army down the mountain up, totaling one thousand six hundred.
