Chapter 98 Lu Chou Withdraws the Army
Lu Chou led the remaining dozens of people to leave the Xiliang army tent and then moved towards the imperial tomb.
However, halfway through, Lu Chou suddenly ordered to turn eastward and head towards Chang'an.
Although Lu Chou's soldiers did not understand Lu Chou's plans, they still did it one by one.
At this time, the soldiers who went to the Xiliang Army Camp of the Imperial Tomb were on the way.
A soldier with a rat head and brain stood respectfully beside a general and said, "General, I heard that the reinforcements from Chang'an have now occupied the Xiliang army tent. If we were to go there, we would be a good opportunity to seize credit. If the general is promoted, don't forget the younger one."
The general nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget you. If you weren't well-informed, I wouldn't have known that the Xiliang Army was so vulnerable. If I had known, I would have led the army to attack directly. How could I have settled in the imperial tomb?"
When the soldier heard the general's words, he kept saying yes, and secretly complained in his heart: I don't know who packed up all his belongings when he heard that the Western Liang army was invading.
The general naturally didn't know what his subordinates were thinking, but looked proud and satisfied.
Being able to protect the imperial tomb and repel the Xiliang army is a masterpiece of eight classics. At that time, I don’t have to suffer from this place where birds don’t poop.
Just as the general was fantasizing that he would be able to achieve success in the future, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the front.
"What's the situation?" The general was stunned when he looked at the rolling sand and dust in front of him.
Isn’t it said that Chang’an didn’t have many troops to capture the Western Liang army? There are so many people in front of you who can’t say many?
The general never thought that what came ahead was not the Chang'an reinforcements, but the remnants of the Xiliang army made a comeback.
Before the general could give any order, the Xiliang army had already reached its sight.
The general also fought with the Xiliang army, and the natural way of the Xiliang army was the ferocity of the Xiliang army.
Seeing the Western Liang army rushing towards him, I felt a little scared.
"Damn it, where did those guys who seized the Xiliang military camp go?"
Since the Xiliang army rushed towards it, it had obviously taken back the military camp, and Lu Chou and others were already on the way to Chang'an at this moment.
"Join the army, isn't it good to do this?" Niu Er said to Lu Chou in a low voice.
Lu Chou shook his head and said, "Since those guards in the imperial tomb want to seize merit, then give them a chance. However, if you want to seize merit, you have to grab my own sword and gun. What is the point of robbing the merits of your own people?"
Niu Er looked at Lu Chou, although he also agreed with Lu Chou's statement.
However, Niu Er really didn't like the people defending the imperial tombs. They were already corruption in the imperial tombs and had no combat power at all.
Otherwise, they would not have watched Lu Chou fall into danger several times and still hiding in the imperial tomb.
At this moment, Lu Chou finally met Xu Huang's troops.
The battle was beautiful, but it was also very tragic.
When Lu Chou came to support the imperial tomb, he led 8,000 troops, and when Liu Pi later supported him, he brought 3,000 troops.
A total of more than 10,000 people were involved in this battle.
Now, Lu Chou looked at the people around him. Liu Pi, Gong Du and others were already scarred. Naturally, Niu Er had already broken one of his arms without saying anything.
As for the remaining soldiers, there were only more than 3,000 left.
Of course, although Lu Chou suffered heavy losses, the Xiliang Army was naturally even more difficult.
This time, Beigong Boyu led more than 20,000 people, but in the end, Lu Chou made a series of calculations, only more than 3,000 people remained, and he even broke one arm.
When Xu Huang saw Lu Chou and others, he met him and said, "Join the army!"
When Lu Chou saw Xu Huang's appearance, he felt a little comforted. After all, this battle was rewarding.
Just as Xu Huang greeted Lu Chou, a familiar figure appeared in Xu Huang's sight.
"Brother Niu!" Xu Huang was stunned when he saw Niu Er. In Xu Huang's impression, Niu Er should be resting in the big tent at this moment, so why did he appear here?
Seeing Xu Huang's somewhat puzzled look, Lu Chou was not in a good mood, and said, "Let's talk about it when you go back!"
As he said that, he led the remaining troops back to his garrison.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Lu Chou issued an order to ask all the scouts to go out and find out the result of the battle between the imperial tomb defenders and the Xiliang army.
Lu Chou didn't want to explain anything to Xu Huang, so he asked Niu Er to explain to Xu Huang.
Niu Er told Xu Huang about everything that happened without getting tired of it.
After hearing Niu Er's words, Xu Huang showed a look of surprise on his face.
However, Lu Chou did not struggle with this issue, but said directly: "Everyone, I am going to return to Chang'an!"
When everyone heard Lu Chou's words, no one said anything.
This time everyone came here to understand the siege of the imperial tomb.
Although their mission has not been achieved, the battle has already become such a situation, and everyone knows that it doesn't seem to be of much significance to stay here.
Especially when they knew that the guards of the imperial tomb actually wanted to seize the merits, they were even more angry.
If it weren't for fame and fortune, who would be willing to fight and kill on the battlefield?
When Lu Chou saw everyone's reaction, he was stunned, but then he figured out the key.
Liu Pi and Gong Du are their own direct descendants, so naturally they will not object.
Xu Huang and others are now here as if they are useless. Some people have proposed to return to Chang'an, so they are naturally happy.
Seeing that everyone did not respond, Lu Chou nodded and said, "Since everyone has no different opinions, this matter is settled. Everyone packs up their things and sets off immediately."
And at this moment, a scout quickly entered the tent.
Before the scout could speak, Lu Chou asked, "But the imperial tomb guards were defeated?"
The scout said angrily: "If you join the army, that's exactly what it means. The imperial tomb guards did not resist at all. They surrendered directly when they saw the Xiliang army!"
Hearing the scouts, the soldiers immediately started to yell.
They fought desperately to protect the imperial tomb, but as a result, these defenders were better. It would be fine if they could not defeat them, but Lu Chou came to help fight.
However, if Lu Chou wins, they will jump out to grab the credit. When the Xiliang army comes back, it is still a remnant army. As a result, they surrender when they see the Xiliang army. It is really shameless.
However, Lu Chou did not care about these things, and this result was long before Lu Chou expected.
Lu Chou immediately ordered the scout and quickly ordered: "The whole army is ready to retreat. The speed should be fast, throw away unnecessary things!"
After hearing Lu Chou's words, although everyone was still angry, they still took the order and prepared to go.
Chapter completed!
