"Really?!" Lei Yan grabbed Wen Qingzhu's arm excitedly and cried with joy. His face was full of fatigue, and there were green stubbles sprouting up and down his mouth.
From the looks of it, Lei Yan seemed to have aged ten years.
Seeing that Lei Yan calmed down a little, Wen Qingzhu immediately asked: "Fu Lie sent someone to send me out. Do you know that Fu Lie has other arrangements? Is there anyone to take care of me?"
"Who did you meet?" Lei Yan immediately looked behind her.
Seeing his answer like this, Wen Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Fu Lie was chasing after Zhita just on a temporary basis
No, no! Fu Lie is definitely not someone who makes up his mind on the spur of the moment!
Wen Qingzhu tried hard to persuade himself, turned around and grabbed Lei Yan's arm and asked, "Where are Zhao Qing and the others? Where is Lu Chuan? It's impossible for Fu Lie to lead the army alone, right?"
After changing horses, Lei Yan rushed to the army with Wen Qingzhu.
Walking all the way to the main tent at the back, Wen Qingzhu quickly met Zhao Qing.
His face didn't look good. He stood next to the terrain sand table, holding the edge with both hands and staring hard in the direction of the Aquila Palace.
Lei Yan took the lead and went in, followed by Wen Qingzhu.
"General Zhao, where is Lu Chuan?"
Zhao Qing glanced sideways and said with a sinister expression: "He has left."
Soon he noticed Wen Qingzhu walking to the sand table and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"
Wen Qingzhu just picked up a small flag in the sand table and raised his head with a smile: "How come it's only been more than a month, and General Zhao doesn't even recognize me?"
"You are—" Zhao Qing stood up straight and quickly understood.
As expected, the last time Wen Qingzhu disappeared was planned by her!
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the sand table map above. There were traces of Fu Lie's movements. There were already some Fu family troops waiting for orders in various places.
Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, there were soldiers in Juqu, but Ta was a good strategist. Wen Qingzhu's eyes fell on Zhao Qing, looking up and down.
Fu Lie's life is basically not in danger, but the three forces of the Xiongnu may unite because of this opportunity.
She didn't want to see this.
"General Zhao, how many vanguard cavalry do you have here?"
Zhao Qing's heart trembled subconsciously: "What do you want, sir? The Prince Regent and General Lu told me to stay here and guard."
"Of course you stay here to guard. What I want to say is, lend me three thousand cavalry and do me a small favor!" Wen Qingzhu curled his lips.
The three thousand cavalry were quickly organized. Wen Qingzhu asked Lei Yan to put on his armor and helmet and pointed him to a place.
"This is the territory of Amos, a noble of the Huns. There are not many defenders at the moment, but it is the largest slave trading market of the Huns. You had only one purpose in the past, to destroy it. If you can't destroy it, then set it on fire!"
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the sky and saw that the wind direction was good tonight.
There have been major incidents in Tianying City in the past few days. The defenders on Amos' side were all borrowed from elsewhere, and now they may all be sent back.
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was not ready to mount his horse, Lei Yan asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going?"
Wen Qingzhu shook his head slightly: "No, I'll let Beidou lead the way for you, and he still knows where the weak points are. Once he starts, he will come back. I have to save Sister Shuo here."
"I'll go too!" Lei Yan became excited when he mentioned Lei Shuo.
Wen Qingzhu patted his hand and said nothing. He turned around and gave Beidou a few instructions.
After watching them leave, Wen Qingzhu stood beside the exit, looking extremely alone.
Not long after, Zhao Qing came up behind her.
"Master, won't you follow?"
Wen Qingzhu turned his head, suppressed his smile, and looked at him deeply: "I was going to follow him, but I suddenly remembered something. How much military salary did General Zhao embezzle?"
Zhao Qing's breath was stagnant. He never expected that Wen Qingzhu would mention this on the battlefield.
Back at the camp, Wen Qingzhu sat in the general's position, looking motionless at Zhao Qing who was kneeling in front of him.
Until Beidou came back and brought two pieces of news.
Fu Lie successfully escaped from danger. Although two strongholds were exposed, Juqu's strength was also detected.
The second one was that He Lai was already waiting for her at the meeting point.
Because sign language was used throughout the process, Wen Qingzhu was not worried about what Zhao Qing would know.
Before leaving the camp, Wen Qingzhu stopped next to Zhao Qing and said to him: "I don't have to pursue this matter, but someone in your Zhao family colluded with the Huns. After I come back, if there is no result-"
The voice suddenly stopped, Zhao Qing's pressure increased, and he slowly looked up.
Not wanting to meet Wen Qingzhu's bottomless eyes, her voice was low and dark: "General Zhao must solve one of these two things."
After leaving the military camp, Wen Qingzhu and Beidou traveled for nearly two hours before returning to the meeting point they agreed on.
Wen Qingzhu had already changed his appearance. When he entered the tent, he saw He Lai walking around uneasily.
"Sir!" He Lai stopped suddenly and stepped forward quickly, "Are you okay? I have heard about what happened in Tianying City."
"It's okay." Wen Qingzhu walked over and looked at the ten people standing on both sides.
They were wearing brand new armor, their backs were straight, and their eyes followed Wen Qingzhu's movements.
Wen Qingzhu stopped in front of the man with a different color of inner armor and looked at him carefully.
These ten people must be the ones bought by He Lai.
He Lai followed and pointed at the man Wen Qingzhu was looking at and introduced: "His name is Uday. The one I bought this time is the most powerful one, and he has experience in fighting before."
"Not bad." Wen Qingzhu nodded.
He Lai then introduced: "Uday, she is Lord Xiaoshui, our master-"
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand to interrupt him: "No one has a master!"
She turned around and looked at He Lai: "I told you before, you are their general, they can only obey your orders, do you understand?"
"But..." He Lai still wanted to explain.
Wen Qingzhu had turned around, looked at the ten people in front of him and said: "From today on, He Lai will be your general, and you will be the original He Lai army. What you must remember is that obeying orders is the only standard for soldiers. , and you must obey He Lai’s orders!”
"But... we only have ten people, how can we be an army?" Someone from behind finally made up his mind.
Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything himself, but gave He Lai a look.
He knew that the adults were training him, so he could only step forward and said in a stern tone: "Your mission is to obey. If I say you are an army, then you are an army!"
"Yes!" Uday straightened his expression immediately and answered He Lai's words.
The rest of them have just arrived, but they must have their own merits to be chosen by He Lai.
They all shouted after Uday.
Wen Qingzhu looked at this Uday with interest, it was interesting.
After meeting the people He Lai brought back, Wen Qingzhu became more and more convinced that he would become a famous general in the future.
After letting them go out, Wen Qingzhu sat down to discuss the next action with He Lai.
"According to the original plan, ten men were enough. But now that the Xiongnu and Qi armies are forced to fight, this will only be the beginning. Ten men are too few, and even if they are all, they will be very few."
He Lai knew about the changes in Tianying City, he had already analyzed it in his mind, and nodded in agreement.
Wen Qingzhu looked at him and said: "So we must increase our manpower as soon as possible, at least a hundred people, and no more than three hundred at most!"
He Lai suddenly frowned: "But people are very expensive now. Only the royal family can force conscription. We..."
Wen Qingzhu pointed in the direction of Amos's territory: "I'll tell you some news. The Qi army sent an army to sneak attack on Amos's territory. When you went over, you must have discovered that all the defenders there had been transferred, so It’s a chaotic time over there, and it’s also a good opportunity to rob people!”
He Lai was stunned for a moment and stammered: "The Qi army went... to attack Amos's territory?"
Making a quick decision, Wen Qingzhu asked Feitian to hand out all the equipment.
At the same time, He Lai took the lead and rushed to Amos' territory.
At dawn, they just approached the edge of Amos's territory and saw people rushing towards Aquila City.
Half of them were bringing their families with them, their faces full of panic and uneasiness.
Half of them were escaped slaves, and they had taken the clothes of ordinary civilians and put them on, which was obviously very inappropriate.
Most of them saw the surprise of escaping.
Now that they saw the fleeing crowd, Wen Qingzhu and the others slowed down.
This time, she didn't need to say anything. He Lai started walking while observing the escaped slaves.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Udai suddenly pointed to a few people sitting in groups in front of him on the right and said: "General He Lai, that group of people turned out to be slaves of defeated tribal soldiers in the north, and they can be used."
Horai immediately stopped his horse and observed the few people Uday pointed to.
Soon, the people over there also noticed them, stood up one after another, and looked towards this side.
Wen Qingzhu was slightly surprised and looked sideways at Uday behind him. This man's eyes were more vicious than He Lai's!
He Lai made a decision in his heart, asked Wen Qingzhu for instructions, and then turned around and took Udai over.
Wen Qingzhu watched from a distance, He Lai said something, and there was a burst of laughter. Someone suddenly pulled out a knife, pointed at He Lai and said something.
Suddenly, He Lai jumped up, did a somersault, and put his knife on the man's neck.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, a man with a scar on his face stood up from behind the crowd.
He did not look at He Lai, but looked at Uday and said a few words.
Uday nodded, got off his horse, went over and had a fight with the man, and Uday won in the end.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, He Lai and Uday led the thirteen people back.
As soon as they came over, He Lai asked everyone's names, then came to Wen Qingzhu and said to everyone: "She is Lord Xiaoshui, my master."
In fact, everyone noticed Wen Qingzhu when they were there, but they thought it was just Udaiharai escorting someone.
Now that these words came out, everyone had different thoughts.
Wen Qingzhu is destined to leave here in the future, so as long as it is not a decision-making issue, Wen Qingzhu will not interfere anymore.
After waiting for a moment, He Lai said to Uday: "Now you ten are my selected personal soldiers, so I will give you responsibility for the new arrivals in groups of ten."
"Understood." Uday replied, turned around and randomly ordered three people to go out, leaving the responsibility to others.
They arranged this scene in public, so many people saw them.
Especially at the end when food was distributed to the new arrivals, some people became excited and volunteered one after another.
However, most people come because they have food to eat, so they are basically unqualified.
Several waves of people came, and finally only five were selected to join.
On this day, they rushed all the way to Amos, picking and choosing, and conflicts broke out.
Amos was attacked, slaves fled in large numbers, and the surrounding small tribes took the opportunity to come and rob people.
So a scuffle was inevitable.
Wen Qingzhu and the others were not too many, but not too few either. The biggest advantage was their high individual quality. With He Lai and Udai jointly commanding and dispatching, they almost crushed them.
The Huns have always worshiped the strong, so they were noticed by a large number of people.
