My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

In order to march quickly, the White Eagle Army divided its troops into three routes. Long Feiguang and Gongsun Pu went together, while the remaining Panshi led two thousand men in the front to open the way, and two younger brothers led more than a thousand men to follow behind.

"Brother, what do you think of the purpose of Wu State's lobbying for surrender?" On the mountain road, Gongsun Pu and Long Feiguang drove side by side, talking about the Wu State sending Pei Liang to lobby, giving gifts and chasing, and it seemed that the momentum was not reduced at all.

"It's just like other countries, they want to recruit you and me to serve them." Long Feiguang laughed, and said with a bit of annoyance: "I don't want to live a life of being restricted by others."

"Brother, you are now living a free and easy life with your brothers. This world is so big that we can come and go freely as long as you and I brothers support each other." Gongsun Pu responded immediately.

"only……"

"In my humble opinion, the world is about to change, and we may not be able to live out our idle days for many years." Gongsun Pu paused and said, "Brother, what do you think of Wu State?"

Long Feiguang was the leader of the White Eagle Army, so he was not a reckless man who only knew how to charge into battle. Hearing Gongsun Pu's words, he immediately reined in his horse, turned his head and looked at Gongsun Pu and said, "What do you mean, third brother? Could it be that you listened to Pei Liang's advice and wanted to surrender to Wu State?"

Gongsun Pu smiled and shook his head: "No, no."

He straightened his expression slightly, bowed to Long Feiguang and said, "Nankang was destroyed, and the Princess of Gao State married into the Wu State. The situation has changed a lot in recent years. I have realized something, so I asked this question."

"When Qingguo invited me, you asked me to come." Long Feiguang frowned and looked at Gongsun Pu and said, "You also said that it is the will of the times."

"Yes." Gongsun Pu said solemnly, "Wu State is rising too fast. The balance among the southern states has been broken with the demise of Nankang. If we join the game this time and Qing State wins, we can still live happily for many more years."

"Unfortunately……"

"Pu, we don't see any chance of winning in Qing Kingdom." It was for this reason that Gongsun Pu persuaded Long Feiguang to withdraw his troops, even though this move might damage the reputation of the White Eagle Army, but he still took the initiative to persuade him.

Gongsun Pu bowed to Long Feiguang and said, "Brother, if we want to stay safe in this chaotic world, I'm afraid the future is bleak."

He looked at Long Feiguang with a complicated expression and said, "The White Eagle Army has come to join the game. Big brother, maybe you can consider the invitation from Wu State."

Long Feiguang's eyes were gloomy, and his expression was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Qing Kingdom is not at the end of its rope yet, we can't judge victory or defeat lightly. Besides Qing Kingdom, there is also Jin Kingdom, and we should know that Jin Kingdom's cavalry is the most courageous." Long Feiguang raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if we take a step back, how can I guarantee that Gao Kingdom and Wu Kingdom can form an alliance for a long time? If one day they turn against each other, Gao Kingdom will be too powerful!"

"All countries have their strengths. Why do you think Wu will be the most powerful country?"

"Pu doesn't know, but just by looking at one person, he can feel that he can take a gamble."

Gongsun Pu looked at Long Feiguang with a smile, and as if confirming what he was thinking, he read out the name: "Zong Yanli."

Gongsun Pu said: "With this man in Wu State, half of the world's power is already in our pocket."

The expression on Long Feiguang's face changed again and again. When he heard Zong Yanli's name, he felt a dull pain in the wound on his waist and abdomen. When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a loud and shrill eagle cry coming from the sky.

Long Feiguang looked up suddenly and saw the white eagle circling in the air, looking somewhat anxious.

"Fifth brother is in trouble!" Long Feiguang watched for a moment, anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped in another direction.

The battle between the two armies was fierce in the valley and woods. Those who were surrounded and killed were none other than Long Feiguang's fifth and sixth brothers. The two of them looked a little embarrassed, and their bodies were already stained with blood. Seeing this scene, Long Feiguang was immediately furious and rushed forward with a big knife in hand.

All the ambushers were killed in a short while. The fifth brother Yan Yingshan knelt down in front of Long Feiguang with red eyes and said, "Brother! The Wu Kingdom is too abominable! They sent people to stop us and persuade us to surrender to the Wu Kingdom. We refused to agree. We didn't expect that the Wu Kingdom would ambush us along the way and kill us here!"

"Wu State?" Gongsun Pu's eyebrows jumped, and he turned his head to see the discarded Wu State military flag, and the soldiers were all wearing Wu State military armor.

"Third brother, do you still think you can go to such a country with such sinister intentions?!" Long Feiguang's face turned ashen with anger, and he wished he could turn around and return to Wu State to kill his way back.

"Don't worry, big brother." Gongsun Pu looked at Long Feiguang in a soothing manner, and asked someone to check the injuries of Yan Yingshan and others, and then said: "Big brother, take a close look at these soldiers. Their armor is full of scars and even covered with mud, but the clothes here are very clean."

"The military flag was thrown away so casually, and some even stepped on it, without any care."

"The swords are a bit blunt. If they are here to surround and kill, why would they send such a team with poor weapons and equipment?"

"Brother, these are not soldiers from Wu State." Gongsun Pu said firmly, "These armors are clearly not suitable at all. The mud on the armors is old. It is obvious that they were taken off from dead bodies dug out from the mud pit."

"The purpose of leaving the Wu army flag behind is to confuse us." Gongsun Pu shook the Wu army flag and saw traces of burning after the flag was folded.

Long Feiguang's anger dissipated as Gongsun Pu placed things in front of him. His eyes became solemn, and he stared at those things and asked, "It's not Wu State, it's..."

Gongsun Pu pondered for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these soldiers were sent by the Qing Kingdom."

Yan Yingshan, who was standing next to him holding his wound, said as if something had suddenly dawned on him: "No wonder the people blocking the road recognized me and my sixth brother and came forward to lobby us. It turned out that they were from the Qing Kingdom. They must have seen us before!"

"It is true that Wu State wants to persuade us, but Qing State is probably worried that the White Eagle Army will go to Wu State, so they came up with this bad idea to hinder them." Gongsun Pu continued.

"It's just... the Qing Kingdom is really ignorant." Gongsun Pu was even more disappointed with the Qing Kingdom. The Qing Kingdom could do such a thing because it must have underestimated the White Eagle Army, thinking that they were just bandits who would not have such insight.

"This general has done his utmost to the Kingdom of Qing. Although I was defeated in the battle for them, I have not received any favor from them."

"I never thought that the Qing Kingdom would do something that would hurt my brother. How despicable!"

Long Feiguang was filled with anger. He originally felt a little guilty for breaking the contract and leaving, but now he felt extremely annoyed because of Qing Kingdom's actions.

Yan Yingshan said, "Brother, I think we should just follow the will of Qing and join the army of Wu! We accepted the invitation of Wu, if for no other reason, hundreds of our brothers would have died in the hands of Qing, brother!"

Yan Yingshan couldn't help but get red-eyed. The Qing Kingdom disguised itself as the Wu Kingdom and ambushed them. They fought with real guns and swords. If it weren't for his elder brother with the White Eagle leading the way, they wouldn't have come so quickly.

They were afraid that all the brothers would die here. Long Feiguang looked at Yan Yingshan and the others whose faces were covered in blood, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Okay!"

"It doesn't matter who you fight for!" Long Feiguang turned to Gongsun Pu and said, "Third brother, go and negotiate a price with Wu State, and then we'll fight!"

When Pei Liang returned with the White Eagle Army with a big smile on his face, Zong Yanhongtu almost fell off the couch and urgently summoned Zong Yanli: "You are really good! You really fooled them!"

Zong Yanli raised his lips slightly: "Don't panic, uncle. The White Eagle Army is only here for hire. I'll have to trouble you to think of a way to get some money and food. I don't have any extra money."

Zong Yanhongtu, who was smiling just now: ………

Zong Yanhongtu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. From any perspective, the White Eagle Army's arrival would be a great help to our army. As for money and food...

Find a way to deduct some points from everywhere!

If all else fails, you can write a letter to Zong Yanhongjing and cry. It's his son's fault, so it doesn't make sense for his uncle to have to take care of it, right?

Zong Yanhongtu thought it made sense, so he turned around and ordered his personal soldiers to deliver the letter at full speed.

Zong Yanli personally went to meet Long Feiguang and his party. Pei Liang came up first. He looked very pleased with himself. He bowed to Zong Yanli and said, "General, I am glad to have fulfilled your mission."

"Haha! Well done!" Zong Yanli patted Pei Liang on the shoulder, then walked towards Long Feiguang and said with a bow, "General Long, we meet again."

"Zong Yanli, don't make a mistake. We are not here to surrender!" Long Feiguang straightened his back and looked at Zong Yanli.

"Of course, of course!" Zong Yanli readily agreed: "I have already asked people to prepare money and food. General Long, just lead the brothers into the tent. I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"

"..."

Long Feiguang felt a little awkward. Just listening to these words, it seemed that there was nothing wrong. But when he looked at Zong Yanli's smiling face, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if he was a chicken in a cage and it was impossible to escape.

Zong Yanli led all the White Eagle Army soldiers into the tent, and only then did he see Long Feiguang and his brothers.

Zong Yanli's eyes fell on Gongsun Pu, and he raised his eyebrows with some inquiry and said, "This must be Mr. Gongsun, the wise and resourceful man under General Long's command, right?"

"General Zong Yan, thank you for your praise. I am just a commoner and not worth mentioning." It was also the first time that Gongsun Pu saw this fierce general of Wu State up close. He always felt a little uncomfortable looking at his face. He could not help but take a few more glances, muttering in his heart, how could a man look like a woman?

However, there are many men with feminine looks in this world, and he would never look down on Zong Yanli because of this.

Therefore, after a brief moment of surprise, they returned to normal, and everyone in the tent talked harmoniously. No one expected that the two people who had been fighting on the battlefield before could now sit here and drink and chat happily.

Long Feiguang's fourth brother knows a little bit about medicine. His surname is Xiao and his name is Tianhe. He is considered a military doctor in the White Eagle Army. The youngest brother is Zhu Jin. He is only fifteen years old this year. He has a ruffian air and seems to have been wandering the streets.

Zong Yanli met Long Feiguang and his brothers, and after remembering their general ideas, he agreed on the amount of money and food for "being employed", and then they dispersed.

"Third brother, what do you think are the differences between the Wu army and the Qing army?" After Zong Yanli left, Long Feiguang asked casually while Xiao Tianhe was changing his medicine.

"We are of one mind and share the same spirit." Gongsun Pu smiled and said in a calm voice.

"Yeah..." Long Feiguang laughed, with a complicated look in his eyes. Just by looking at one look, one can tell that Zong Yanli, the general under his tent, respects him very much. When they entered the tent, they saw that all the soldiers looked at him in the same way.

Long Feiguang couldn't quite describe the feeling, but as a military leader, he understood how difficult it was for the army to be united. This was something he had never experienced in Qing Kingdom.

Gongsun Pu took a sip from the water cup and said, "But, I still don't understand why Zong Yanli is so young, but he took up arms in the final battle with my elder brother. His majestic aura was like that of a veteran who had stepped on the battlefield and seen many dead bodies."

Gongsun Pu was very puzzled. He wondered what had happened to Zong Yanli to make him so murderous?

Over here, Long Feiguang led the White Eagle Army to station in the army. Over there, Gao Guo was also a little restless. Luo Chengren couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of ability does Zong Yanli have to actually persuade the White Eagle Army to come here? The current battle situation..."

"General, if the White Eagle Army surrenders to Zong Yanli, and Wu State becomes so powerful, it will be a strong enemy to Gao State in the future." Xia Liguo also had a complicated expression.

"Even if I can't be friends with him, I don't want to be his enemy." Luo Chengren finally said what he wanted to say. It was not that he was willing to degenerate, but he knew very well that with Zong Yanli's expansionist trend, if the two countries really collapsed in the future, he was unwilling and didn't want to confront Zong Yanli.

Xia Liguo was silent for a rare moment. No one knew what the outcome would be until that day came.

On the other side, Zong Yanli was listening to Pei Liangyan talking about the details of his lobbying of Long Feiguang. Naturally, he also talked about the fact that Qing State really took the bait and set an ambush. Gongsun Pu was really a character. His lobbying did not cost a single soldier and achieved great success!

"The situation is very good now. Perhaps we will soon attack the city." Zong Yanli sat in the tent with Pei Liang, Bai Xiuyun and Lu Hao. She looked at everyone with heavy eyebrows and said, "The emperor is seriously ill and bedridden. He ordered the crown prince to supervise the country."

"The prince wants to use Qing Kingdom as a prize, which means he wants us to attack the city and enter the pass to boost Wu Kingdom's prestige."

"I was not sure at first, but now with the help of the White Eagle Army, I will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

Everyone agreed, and after discussing the arrangements for the White Eagle Army, they dispersed. When Wen Nian was leaving the tent, he saw the tired look on Zong Yanli's face and couldn't help asking, "Are you tired, General? Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Zong Yanli closed her slightly dry eyes, asked him to grind ink for her, and said, "I want to write a letter home. My sister's wedding is coming soon, and I can't go back until the war here stops."

"Send someone to Shouxi County to look for Qian Zhixing. I think his injuries have healed greatly. Ask him to go home on my behalf to send my sister off to get married." Zong Yanli looked up at Wen Nian and said so.
