Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 461 Defection

After Wei Bo's military envoy Yang Shihou passed away, Liang Emperor Wu Youzhen was overjoyed and feared Wei Bo's army, so he planned to break it up and divide his troops into two towns.

However, Wei Bojun refused, causing a mutiny.

Therefore, Emperor Liang ordered Liu 𬩽, a wise general known for his strategy, to lead an army of 60,000 to Weibo to control the situation.

Wei Bojun killed the direct troops of the Liang Dynasty in the city, and then asked Emperor Liang to maintain the status quo, but Emperor Liang refused. Wei Bojun turned around and threw an olive branch to Mu Youxian of Jin.

Mu Youxian was overjoyed after receiving the tip and personally led his troops to Weibo, intending to occupy Weibo.

Mu Youxian first killed Zhang Yan and others, the general who led the mutiny, and then pardoned other soldiers from their responsibilities, and incorporated the Ya soldiers who initiated the mutiny into his own bodyguards.

This kind of trust greatly moved Wei Bo's military households, and they surrendered one after another. This made Tuotuo's forces, which had always dominated the Central Plains with cavalry, become even more powerful.

However, some Wei Bojun saw that Mu Youxian had killed the general who led the mutiny, and because Wei Bojun had killed Mu Youxian's brother in the previous battle with Jin, they were afraid that Mu Youxian would have to settle the score with them due to this huge grudge. .

So some generals planned to defect to Lu Bocheng.

Firstly, Qian Kuan wanted to see the fighting situation between Liang and Jin, and secondly, he wanted to show off these people. He did not send any news to Lu Bocheng, who had previously visited Haizhou with his family.

In the tent, Lu Bocheng frowned after listening carefully to the analysis of Qian Kuan and others. Come to him? Sincere or fake? Is it a prick on the head?

"Send someone to quietly bring the other party's people over. I want to inquire carefully."

"yes."

Soon, Wei Bojun general Lu Qi came to see Lu Bocheng with several of his men.

Lu Qi chose Lu Bocheng after careful consideration.

Although Zhenhai's sphere of influence is not large, over the years, Zhenhai's soldiers and horses have grown stronger, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even people from other places have moved to Zhenhai with their families. I heard that Lu Bocheng has a very high reputation among the people.

In addition, Xuzhou is not far from Wei Bo and his hometown, so he can avoid leaving his hometown. Therefore, in addition to Liang Jin, Lu Bocheng from Zhenhai became the first choice of some Wei Bo troops.

"Ruchi has met Lord Jiedushi."

"General Lu, please rise."

Lu Bocheng personally helped Lu Qi and others up. Both parties looked at each other and were satisfied.

In the military tent, Lu Bocheng led a group of men and talked with Lu Qi and others for a long time.

"Zhen Haijun welcomes General Lu and other generals to join us."

"Thank you, sir. We will live up to your high expectations!"

"Okay! Waiting to hear your success!"

Lu Bocheng was overjoyed to receive the 30,000 soldiers and horses surrendered by Wei Bo, and held a banquet in the camp.

After the banquet, 30,000 troops and horses were reorganized, and Lu Qi was still ordered to lead them.

"Sir, will there be any problems if you let Lu Qi lead them?" Qian Kuan and others were a little worried.

"It doesn't matter. At this time, we shouldn't send people to lead them. It will make the other party feel that we don't trust them. It will take a long time, so take your time. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses always need to eat and drink, and leading the army requires military pay."

Lu Bocheng didn't care at all.

It's not his fault. Since they abandoned the Liang Dynasty and had enmity with the Jin Dynasty, who else could they seek refuge with besides his Zhenhai?

As a result, Wei Bo's 100,000-strong army fell apart. Some surrendered to the Jin State, some remained in the Liang Dynasty, and some joined the Zhenhai Navy.

Weibo Town is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and is the only way for the Jin Dynasty to go south. The defection in Weibo Town allowed Mu Youxian to occupy Weibo and immediately send his troops south.

The vassal towns surrounding Weibo Town became a tug-of-war between Jin and Liang.

Lu Bocheng returned to the house. After dinner, he asked Su Qingyu to help pack his luggage.

"Are we going to fight again?"

Lu Bocheng nodded: "Jin has gone south and is fighting Liang around Weibo. Caozhou is not well defended now. I plan to lead troops to capture Caozhou. This will prevent Jin and Liang from coming to Xuzhou. There are iron mines in Xuzhou, so the battle will be fought. The longer time goes by, the less weapons and equipment they will have. In order to prevent Xuzhou from being attacked, I have to capture Caozhou as a defense. "

After hearing what he said, Su Qingyu also understood.

As soon as Jin moved south, Xuzhou became the first target of Jin and Liang. Once Jin and Liang merge into one, it will be difficult for Xuzhou to resist no matter how thick the city wall is. If the state capitals around Xuzhou are captured, Xuzhou can also be given some buffer time.

"Okay, I'll clean it up for you right away."

"etc."

Lu Bocheng pulled her and let her sit on his lap. He rested his head on Su Qingyu's shoulder and smelled the fragrance of her hair.

"I really don't want to leave my wife."

Su Qingyu didn't want him to go to war either: "Is there any danger in this trip?"

"Don't worry, Madam. The main force of Jin and Liang is around Wei Bo. Caozhou doesn't have many troops. I can solve them with the 30,000 troops of Wei Bo who have come here this time. Don't worry, this battle won't take too long. But we have to be quick. Otherwise, if Wu State seizes the opportunity, we will have more setbacks.”

"So you're leaving soon?"

"Leave tomorrow morning."

Su Qingyu was stunned, so fast?

"Madam, shall I send you and Xiao Qi to Jiangning? Otherwise, you can go to Yangzhou. I heard that the scenery there is very good and it is close to Master. It will be close to you if you want to go back to the mountains. You and Xiao Qi will wait for me there. ”

"The Jiedushi government office is moving to Jiangning?"

It doesn't matter if you move there, in the center of Jie Town, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Unlike Xuzhou, where several forces meet, it is more dangerous.

Lu Bocheng shook his head: "I won't move in the next few years. Xuzhou is too important, I have to guard it here."

"Then I'll be here with you."

"The Jiangning side is more stable than this side."

"You're not there."

Lu Bocheng felt excited after hearing this. Hugging Su Qingyu tightly.

He really didn't want to fight, he just wanted to live a relaxed and peaceful life with his wife, son and daughter.

But you can’t help but be wary of others.

He wanted his wife and family to be safe and sound.

"Then I will capture Caozhou and the surrounding cities of Xuzhou to ensure that you and your daughter can live safely in Xuzhou. If Xuzhou cannot be held in the future, we will have a way out when Qingyang clears the sea road to Haizhou. "

Su Qingyu comforted him: "Don't think so much. Your safety is better than anything else."

"I know."

"You just said that your daughter and I would move to Jiangning. Where are your two sons?"

Lu Bocheng paused, not daring to look at her.

"Dabao and Xiaobao want to go with you?"

Lu Bocheng was silent and nodded: "Yes."

He also explained: "There shouldn't be much danger in attacking Caozhou this time, and I asked them to follow me in the rear. I will keep an eye on them. Madam, don't worry."

Lu Bocheng gathered a lot of words to persuade Su Qingyu.

But he found that after he finished speaking, the lady had no reaction.

"Lady?"

"Then keep an eye on them."

"Madam, do you agree with them to come with me?"

Su Qingyu glared at him: "I don't agree, why aren't they leaving yet?"

Sighing: "They are older and have learned martial arts from Uncle Xin and their godfather. They can no longer hold back. They have their own ideas and I can't stop them. But they are still young and have not experienced anything. You You have to send someone to watch them and don’t let them get too excited. I’ll feel bad if they get hurt.”

"Don't worry, madam. They are all my sons. If anything happens to me, I won't let anything happen to them."

"Nothing can happen to you."

"Don't worry. My husband knows it." After saying that, he picked up Su Qingyu, hugged her horizontally, and walked to the bed.

Su Qingyu patted him: "I haven't packed your luggage yet."

"There's still time to clean up tomorrow morning."
