Chapter 129
The whole life is in ruins
The Turkic prince led 30,000 elite troops and did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
It only took more than a month to arrive at Shuangjiang Town. It was already late at night.
The Turkic army camped five miles away from Shuangjiang Town and sent scouts to investigate.
All Turkic soldiers know that the general who is now guarding Shuangjiang City is the new general of the Great Yan Dynasty.
And his name was Lu Shaoqian, who was famous and fearful among the Turkic soldiers.
The Turkic soldiers, who were a little timid at first, woke up uneasy and learned that General Dayan had sent envoys to discuss peace.
And his name was Lu Shaoqian, who was famous and fearful among the Turkic soldiers.
Negotiate peace?
How could this make the Turkic soldiers not excited?
How dare they believe this is true?
Isn’t this a dream? This is a piece of pie in the sky!
Not only do they not have to die in battle, they can also return to their hometowns safely and enjoy the glory and wealth.
"Prince, we are willing to negotiate peace with Dayan."
"Chief, we are also willing to negotiate peace with Dayan."
When Lu Shaodong's men walked out of the Turkic prince's camp, tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers gathered together and ordered them to express their inner thoughts.
The Turkic prince was even more happy and quickly wrote to his father Khan to prepare for the upcoming negotiations.
He even specially arranged a feast in the king's tent to entertain the envoys of Dayan.
Many of the Turkic soldiers knew Lu Shaoqian, and they all wanted to wait for an opportunity to ridicule him.
The morale of the Turkic soldiers was instantly high, and they were eager to have the opportunity to fight again, but it was a pity that they had to negotiate a peace!
They don't know yet that their prince just wants to get Dayan's food and fight again...
Lu Shaodong's men came back and told him that the Turks wanted 500,000 tons of rice and 2,000 bolts of cloth.
Lu Shaodong's expression changed after hearing this: "What did you say? Five hundred thousand tons of rice?"
The subordinates did not hide anything: "Yes, half a million tons of rice, and two thousand bolts of cloth."
Lu Shaodong's face was uncertain: "Are the Turks crazy? What do they want to do?"
The subordinate shook his head: "I don't know that the Turkic army is only fifty miles away from us, and the Turkic prince asked his subordinates to bring you a message."
"Oh? What did he say?" Lu Shaodong asked hurriedly.
"The dog prince hopes that the general will send someone to transport 500,000 tons of rice within five days, otherwise"
"Otherwise what?" Lu Shaodong's heart skipped a beat.
"Otherwise." The subordinate hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Is the general so stupid? Otherwise, if we attack the city, there is no need to ask.
"Otherwise what?" Lu Shaodong asked again.
"Otherwise, the Dog Prince will lead his troops to attack the city and let you watch with your own eyes as they remove the food in the city."
"Pa." Lu Shaodong slammed the table: "Asshole! He actually threatened me!"
The subordinate whispered: "I don't understand. We have strong soldiers and horses. Are we still afraid of the Turks?"
The city was still defended without so many troops before. Does the general have any leverage in the hands of that Turkic prince?
Lu Shaodong glanced at the subordinate silently.
"My subordinates excuse themselves." His subordinates saluted and turned to leave.
Lu Shaodong punched the table: "You bastard! I will kill you sooner or later."
After roaring angrily, he drank two more glasses of wine, and then said to his close guards.
"Do you think we can win if we fight head-on?"
"Master, no matter whether we win or not, we have to fight hard. Otherwise, where will we raise 500,000 tons of rice?"
"According to those soldiers, that scourge was always at the forefront in the past. If a war breaks out, if I don't rush to be the first, it will be easy for my secret to be revealed!"
"Master, this subordinate is willing to disguise himself as you and strive to be the first..."
"No, if even you die, what will your master do in the future?"
Bodyguard and secret guard leader:………
He didn't know whether he should feel honored or not? There were more than 300 people in total, and they were all left by the Duke to his son.
Each of them is a master who can use one against a hundred, but in the past few years, half of them have died.
Especially this year, thirty people were killed by wolves. They all started training when they were a few years old.
The general has 50,000 elite soldiers given by the emperor, plus more than 100 of them. If they cooperate well, they may not lose.
He knew that the secret guards assigned to Lu Shaoqian by the Duke of Guo did not exceed 30 people, and that he could withstand 50,000 Turkic soldiers who were hospitalized with only 3,000 city defense troops.
The head guard wanted to persuade him again, but saw their master suddenly stood up and strode towards the meeting hall.
In the General's Mansion, Lu Shaodong sat at the head of the conference hall restlessly, frowning deeply.
When the staff and deputy generals saw his appearance, they all frowned, but they did not dare to say anything.
Finally, Lu Shaodong couldn't bear it anymore and roared directly at several lieutenants.
"Send an order to this general and ask them to deliver 500,000 tons of rice within five days."
The lieutenants hurriedly left.
Not long after, the Shuangjiang County Magistrate received the order from General Lu's men.
Within three days, General Lu must receive their 300,000 tons of rice.
The county magistrate was so angry that he was shaking all over. He slapped the table hard and gritted his teeth.
"Damn it, this county magistrate is going to file a complaint. General Lu wants to force me to death."
The master was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
The county magistrate waved his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Get out! I need to be quiet."
"Yes." The master and the government officials left as if they had received an amnesty, for fear that the county magistrate would be angry with them again.
The magistrate took a deep breath to calm down the anger in his heart. He needed to calm down now.
No matter what, he had to find a way to transport the food as soon as possible, otherwise, he would have no choice but to take his whole family and escape.
After Lu Shaodong and other deputy generals left, he sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest.
In fact, he was thinking about how to gather enough food and grass for the Turks, otherwise they would not be able to defend the city at all.
In his heart, he never thought about fighting hard. After much thought, he never came up with a perfect solution.
It's better to collect enough food honestly. Lu Shaodong's decision has made Shuangjiang Town and Shuangjiang County miserable.
They never dreamed that the war launched by the Turks last year would not be so difficult.
Everyone's life will not always be smooth sailing, it will always be half sea water and half fire. There will be sorrow but there will definitely be joy.
There is a lot of warmth in life. It will meet you unexpectedly at a certain moment and make you feel warm and sweet when you need it most.
Of course, disasters in life will suddenly come, but their generals forcefully snatched food like this and blatantly robbed them of their rations.
This kind of thing is unprecedented. Some of them managed to live to the age of sixty, and then they were pissed to death.
"Oh my God! Open your eyes and see. This man is not our heroic general. He is possessed by some demon."
As a result, the people of Shuangjiang Town began to dance with gods everywhere, hoping to drive away the demons attached to the general's body.
