Wu Qigong sat quietly, motionless, like a sculpture that has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, revealing a sense of pathos. Qi Shan's death, the pillar in Wu Qigong's heart collapsed, as if it was the end of the world. Seeing that Wu Qigong didn't speak, Qi Shan's guards comforted: "General, you can't forget the adult's entrustment!" We want to protect the adults and protect the Jiangbei camp! ”

"Alas!!"

Wu Qigong sighed and said, "How easy it is to talk about! ”

Previously, Wu Qigong agreed to Qi Shan's instructions, but when it was really time for Wu Qigong to take charge of the work himself, he was still nervous in his heart. In the past, Wu Qigong obeyed Qi Shan's orders and did not really preside over the overall situation. Even if he scolded and scolded outside the camp tent, he was angry to the extreme, and he would scold the rest of the generals with blood.

"General, if it drags on any longer, it's not good!"

Seeing that Wu Qigong still didn't speak, the guards reminded him again.

Wu Qigong took a deep breath, was silent for a long time, and said, "Order, convene the generals in the army to discuss matters!" ”

When the guard heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Now that Qi Shan has died of illness and his body is still lying on the bed, if all the generals in the army are summoned, they will definitely be exposed immediately, and it is better to hide the news of Qi Shan's death, so that it is easier to stabilize the morale of the army and not cause chaos in the army.

Wu Qigong saw through the guard's thoughts and said, "I have my own plans, you just go directly to the order." However, when the generals enter the tent, you and the rest of your guards will wait outside the tent for my orders. Once I order who to be arrested, who do you arrest? In order to stabilize the morale of the army, they can only make an example of chickens and monkeys. Of course, if they are all willing to cooperate, it will be better. ”

The guards froze in place, as if it was the first time they had seen Wu Qigong like this. The person in front of him is the same as the previous situation of timidity and indecision?

However, the guards quickly recovered and went to deliver the message.

In less than five minutes, the generals of the army came to the big tent, and these people saw Qi Shan lying on the bed motionless. Seeing that Qi Shan's eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and a bad feeling rose. It's just that these people didn't know that Qi Shan was dead, because when they were making trouble outside the camp before, they didn't hear the slightest bit of talk, they just thought that Qi Shan had fainted.

Wu Qigong's gaze swept over the generals, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, your lord has passed away!" ”

"Boom!!"

This time, it was like five thunderbolts, which made everyone dumbfounded. Even a few generals had collapsed to the ground, lost in despair. A few other generals were stunned for a moment, and then simply howled and cried, as if their father had died. They are not crying about the death of Qi Shan, but only the sadness of their uncertain future.

Wu Qigong looked at the chaotic crowd, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

At this moment, Wu Qigong began to change.

From a timid and indecisive person, he gradually became a person who supported the overall situation because of the pressure of pressure. Because if Wu Qigong can't hold on, not only will he die, but the rest of the people will face the end of being killed.

"Enough!"

Suddenly, Wu Qigong snorted.

In an instant, all the people quieted down, crying and whispering, all of them didn't say a word, and looked at Wu Qigong with their eyes. As for the dead Qi Shan, none of the generals said they cared, and no one even asked how Qi Shan died? When did he die?

Wu Qigong said: "The adult is dead, and it is useless to cry. Now Li Xiucheng is still leading his troops to chase and fight, and the Jiangbei battalion has reached the most dangerous moment. I did not bring you to cry and scream, but to make you deliberate. Now that the adults are dead, the Jiangbei camp can't stand, tell me what you think? ”

"General Wu, I think it's time to retreat, I can't defend it now."

The words fell, and a general with a short figure of five spoke. This person is not tall, but the skeleton is very large, and he is a barrel-shaped body. As soon as he stood up and spoke, several people chimed in and spoke in favor of withdrawing troops.

Wu Qigong said: "Those who are in favor of withdrawing troops will stand aside first, and I will listen to everyone's suggestions. ”

In this way, six people were in favor of withdrawing troops.

"General Wu, I said a big rebellious word, let's stay in the camp in Jiangbei, even if we escape, we can't get rid of Li Xiucheng's pursuit. Anyway, the lord is dead, and the court doesn't care about us, so we just surrender and send bandits, maybe we can get a half-official position. "The person who spoke was as big as Wu Qigong's official position, and there was no difference in size, but Qi Shan let Wu Qigong preside over the military camp, and his power was greater.

Wu Qigong asked in a harmonious voice: "Who else agrees with the idea of surrender?" ”

Suddenly, two more people stood up and stood with the person who had just said to surrender.

Wu Qigong watched as the surrendered and withdrawn troops all stood up, his eyes fell on the five generals who were still motionless and did not express their position, and asked, "The five of you don't speak, what do you think?" ”

"General, we are willing to obey orders."

The five men were of the same opinion, and they all belonged to those who obeyed orders.

After Wu Qigong saw it, he determined the thoughts of the generals under his command, and suddenly shouted: "Someone! ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi Shan's guards rushed in, nearly twenty of them. These people all obeyed Wu Qigong's orders, and only listened to Wu Qigong's order to arrest the three people who surrendered, and the guards arrested them, and soon there were three screams. After hearing this, the generals in the big tent broke out in a cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, Wu Qigong was so ruthless that he had already prepared.

Wu Qigong looked at the rest of the people and said, "The next arrangements for the camp have been set long before the death of the adults. We will not be deserters, but we can't fight hard with Li Xiucheng, we must preserve our strength and join Li Zhen's army. You immediately gather the soldiers in the army, reorganize it, and fight a tough battle with Li Xiucheng first, so as to give Li Xiucheng the illusion that we will not retreat. As soon as it got dark, we withdrew our troops and quietly withdrew in the direction of Shanghai, joining up with Li Zhen's army. ”

"The general is wise!"

When the generals in the camp heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they still had to fight a tough battle with Li Xiucheng, the generals understood that the ultimate goal was to retreat rather than desperately, and their hearts became more and more happy and full of enthusiasm.

Wu Qigong instructed again: "Before that, the news of your adult's death must be stabilized and not revealed. If the army is in turmoil, the soldiers are unable to fight, and no one can evacuate, it is your own responsibility. ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the generals in the big tent patted their chests and promised.

When it comes to their own safety, no one cares.

After Wu Qigong finished giving orders, he let the generals in the army disperse. Next, it was Wu Qigong who created an illusion and then retreated with the army. Even if he encountered Li Xiucheng's obstacles, Wu Qigong had to turn over.
