The young master is not lustful, not greedy for money, he only loves reputation, and he also has a good reputation.

Therefore, you two must try your best to ambush the Liao soldiers in Wuding River this time.

Win this battle.

After winning this battle, the young master may make the two of them his confidants and get promoted for the sake of helping him gain face.

If we lose and the young master loses face, then we will have to let you two go to Caishikou."

When Liu Qi and Guo Yi heard this, they nodded heavily again.

Guo Yi even spoke the truth, "The soldiers and horses led by Brother Yu are several times larger than the Liao soldiers. They have set up an ambush in advance and defeated the Liao soldiers. That is inevitable. The key is that Lu Xiandi cannot interfere in the military affairs.

Interfering with the two foolish brothers’ command of the battle.”

Lu Ming said solemnly: "If you add another three hundred strings, I will not interfere in the military affairs and let you two do what you want. However, during the battle, I will take the people I brought and stand behind the two soldiers and horses.

If your troops are defeated by the Liao soldiers and become fearful and want to retreat, then I will inevitably kill them.

If the battle by the Wuding River is lost.

All soldiers must die here.

This way, my young master’s reputation will not be lost.”

Liu Qi and Guo Yi were 90% sure. After hearing Lu Ming's words, they naturally agreed without hesitation.

When Lu Ming saw the two of them still standing in front of him, he immediately shouted: "What are you still doing standing here? Why don't you go down to prepare money and arrange troops and horses?"

Liu Qi and Guo Yi nodded very seriously, apologized, and left the place.

The same words, said in different ways, have completely different effects.

After the two left, Lu Ming let out a long sigh, "If the young master were here, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he would pick up a knife and kill people. They are obviously two very talented generals, but they were forced into such a situation.

Song's officialdom is really disgusting.

In the past, the young master asked me to study hard and pursue an official career, but I declined.

Now it seems that I was right to decline.

In today's officialdom, I feel sick even if I stay there for even a quarter of an hour, let alone for a lifetime."

Not long after Liu Qi and Guo Yi left, they handed over some money collected from everywhere to Lu Ming.

The two of them are rare people who do not drink the blood of soldiers, so their family wealth is not rich.

The two of them had enough salary to support a large family, some tribesmen, and some horses, so they didn't have much spare money.

In addition, they were in a hurry to march to the Wuding River and did not bring much money with them, so the money they had was borrowed from the hands of the army generals.

The two handed the money to Lu Ming, who accepted it with a smile.

The two of them relaxed completely when they saw Lu Ming take the money.

Lu Ming made it clear that he would not interfere in military matters, so they did not need to ask Lu Ming for instructions.

Liu Qi and Guo Yi were busy arranging their troops, while Lu Ming was sitting in his own tent, writing a letter to Kou Ji.

Before writing the letter, Lu Ming stared at the 2,600 miscellaneous copper coins piled on the table and sighed, "You two have suffered a lot, and the young master will definitely teach you a lesson.

But it’s also cheaper for you.

If you deposit 2,600 yuan of miscellaneous money with me now, after the Liao people retreat, you will definitely be repaid ten times or even a hundred times."

After sighing, Lu Ming wrote down all the major and minor events that happened here in the letter, and sent someone to deliver it to Kou Ji.

Liu Qi and Guo Yi are ready for the second day.

Liao soldiers appeared.

The first to appear were the Liao soldiers' scouts.

Liu Qi and Guo Yi hid five miles away in order to avoid the Liao soldiers' scouts.

After the Liao soldiers made a thorough investigation and confirmed that there was no ambush, the two men led their troops back to the place where they ambush.

This seemingly simple back and forth is enough to show that the two of them are expert leaders.

You know, people who can't use their troops like arms and horses will never dare to do this.

If there is a slight oversight, the Liao soldiers will discover it, or they may take advantage of it.

Not long after they returned to the ambush site.

Liao general Tu Lugu led an army of 15,000 relics and rode their horses slowly along the river bank.

The reason why we didn't gallop the horses was because there were gravels on the river bank, which could easily hurt the horses' hooves.

As soon as Liao General Tu Lu Gu and his troops showed up, Liu Qi and Guo Yi looked at each other with a smile on their lips.

When General Tu Lugu of the Liao Kingdom led his troops into their pocket formation, Liu Qi ordered his men to light the cannons, and at the same time, together with Guo Yi, led his troops and horses to kill them.

"kill!"

The gunfire didn't sound.

The sound of killing has begun.

"Bang bang bang!"

When the cannon fired, the sound of killing was already loud.

With calculated calculations and no care, they had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, ambushed the enemy's 15,000 soldiers and horses, and also had artillery to assist them. The Longzhou defenders and the Suide army fought very bravely.

Although their armaments are not as good as those of the Liao soldiers, their combat effectiveness is also not as good as those of the Liao soldiers.

But there are many of them.

The pocket formations set up by Liu Qi and Guo Yi gradually tightened as they rushed towards the battlefield.

By the time they rushed to the Liao soldiers and horses, the Longzhou defenders and the Suide army had already surrounded 15,000 relic troops.
