Chapter 138: Pei Renji in Trouble

"Bang! How dare they chase and kill my father!" "Big Brother Yuwen, I want to go help my father!"

In the military camp of Wu Jun, Pei Yuanqing was anxious, shouting.

"Yuanqing, don't be anxious. As for General Pei, the Lord will naturally not sit idly by." Ling Zhan hurriedly pulled Pei Yuanqing aside.

"If you go alone now, what effect can you have? Although your strength is not bad, there are quite a few fierce generals on Wagang's side. Better listen to the Lord's opinion first!"

"That's right, Pei the Brute, you'd better listen to what the General says. I'll go with you when the time comes."

Kou Zhong also persuaded him in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, Big Brother, I was anxious." Pei Yuanqing quickly reacted and hurriedly apologized to Su Fan.

"It's okay, I know you are worried about Lord Pei. But rest assured, I will definitely take action to rescue Lord Pei."

"And the news I received is that Lord Pei is temporarily safe. Luokou Pass was abandoned by Lord Pei himself. He originally had tens of thousands of troops under his command, and although he fought continuously with Wagang for several days and suffered casualties,"

"he still has ten thousand elites in his hands, including three thousand cavalry. Even if Wagang wants to chase and kill him, it won't be that easy."

He was not too surprised by the news from the north. After all, the south was almost unified, so the warlords in the north couldn't help but be anxious.

These people would definitely go crazy expanding their power. Pei Renji abandoned Luokou because Wagang attacked crazily, day and night, without regard for losses. Pei Renji naturally couldn't continue to consume himself with Wagang.

After all, he stayed in Luokou just to act as a nail, not to fight to the death with Wagang for Wang Shichong.

"Now I have already sent people to contact him."

"When the time comes, I will send an army to meet him."

"Thank you, Big Brother."

Pei Yuanqing felt much more at ease upon hearing this. Suddenly hearing that his father was being chased and killed, he was a bit distracted and anxious, not considering so much.

Now listening to everyone's explanation, he thought it was true. His father was a martial general holding heavy troops, with tens of thousands of troops under his command.

Including over ten thousand elites.

Even if he couldn't hold Luokou, he could still leave.

As for Wagang's pursuit, although it was a bit dangerous, if his father was determined to escape, there was a great possibility.

Plus, now that Big Brother agreed to send people to meet him, he was relieved.

"Lord, Wagang attacking Luokou so crazily shows that they are anxious."

"Hmm! They are stimulated. You guys defeated the Southern Coalition before, and they also saw that the unification of the south is not far off. Naturally, they are anxious."

"Next, you guys need to speed up the sweep and take down all places except Lingnan."

"Li Jing, you will be the commander. Over at Lin Shihong's, he is still conscripting troops; he still hasn't given up. This time, don't let him run away."

"My Lord, rest assured, this subordinate will definitely not let him escape again."

Li Jing said solemnly.

"Good! The south is handed over to you."

Su Fan directly delegated power. This kind of trust truly moved Li Jing, especially after the previous great battle, where he was allowed to command from the start.

It could be said that any warlord would be unable to do this.

Hehe!

Looking at Li Jing's eyes, Su Fan smiled inwardly. He naturally knew that this kind of delegation of power was something very few people in ancient times could do.

However, he didn't care. Even if military power was handed over to Li Jing, Li Jing couldn't play any tricks.

The loyalty of the soldiers of Wu Jun to Su Fan was almost one hundred percent. Perhaps there might be two or three wolf cubs who couldn't be tamed.

But the soldiers at the bottom wouldn't. The lower they were, the higher their loyalty; they all knew who was good to them.

Even if a general rebelled, it was estimated that the next second they would be surrounded by their own soldiers.

"Ling Zhan, you follow Li Jing and learn military strategy well."

"This subordinate obeys."

Ling Zhan did not have any dissatisfaction upon hearing this. In terms of seniority, he was definitely the first in the military camp, even Ren Tong and the others couldn't compare.

After all, the current military camp was built by him single-handedly. Now Su Fan let the newcomer Li Jing become the commander-in-chief, and he was the deputy.

If it were someone else, they might be dissatisfied in their hearts.

But Ling Zhan was different. He was quite convinced by Li Jing. Perhaps the other party's strength couldn't compare to his, but in leading troops into battle and military strategy, he admitted that he was far behind.

His own inheritance was indeed not as good as the other party's.

And he also knew that the former's uncle was the famous Great Sui general Han Qinhu, and he had become famous very early.

So he had no jealousy. Instead, hearing Su Fan's words, he looked at Li Jing with a look of longing. He wanted to become a famous general; if a famous general could guide him, that would be the best.

Looking at Ling Zhan's gaze, Li Jing nodded. "If General Ling is willing, you and I should learn from each other."

Li Jing naturally knew what Su Fan meant.

Previously, he could smoothly command the great army because the Lord was always following, and no one dared to question the Lord's orders. However, next, the Lord would march north and not be in the army, and his seniority was too low.

Even if he commanded a great victory, he still couldn't completely subdue the fierce generals in the army, especially since his own martial prowess didn't count for much in the military camp.

Letting Ling Zhan serve as his deputy was naturally to let him command with peace of mind. It could be said that the Lord's intentions were very good.

As for guiding Ling Zhan in military strategy, he had no reluctance.

He had no intention of hiding anything.

Of course, this also had to do with the teaching camp in the military camp. He was also very shocked when he first came to the military camp, not only because of the elite soldiers in the military camp but also because he admired the Lord's broad-mindedness.

The Lord actually put his own martial path into the teaching camp, and anyone could practice it.

The Lord was a Grandmaster-level expert, and his martial path was naturally at the Grandmaster level. Yet in the army, one could borrow and study it.

And from time to time, he would personally come to preach.

In the teaching camp, besides martial arts, there were various classics—Confucian, Legalist, Military, etc. As long as you were willing to learn, there would be someone to teach you.

What kind of broad-mindedness was this?

He had learned a lot of knowledge in the military camp, so to repay it, he didn't care about his own military inheritance. After all, compared to what was in the military camp, his inheritance was not that amazing.

"Haha! Then it's decided."

"Yuanqing, Kou Zhong, and Shixin, you guys take my five hundred private troops and go north to meet Lord Pei."

"This subordinate obeys."

Kou Zhong and the others were overjoyed upon hearing this. Compared to those warlords in the south, they naturally preferred to go north because the warlords in the north were more powerful.

Especially Wagang; hearing that there were many fierce generals there, they naturally wanted to fight them. ===== CHAPTER 139 =====
