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

Chapter 117 Waiting for the Big Fish to Take the Hook

Zhu Kuo and the others were kneeling outside at this time, their faces flushed with shame and self-blame, and they shouted loudly: "I disobeyed military orders and caused our army to be defeated. Please punish me, General!"

Shao Weiyi's suppressed emotions were aroused again at this moment. He gritted his teeth and stared at Zhu Kuo and others with his fists clenched. It seemed that he had used a lot of strength to suppress his emotions. He said in a deep voice: "The general is injured and is recuperating."

Shao Weiyi knew that now was not the time to settle accounts. The Wu army was just outside the Great Wall. If Zhu Kuo and others were punished now, it would further shake the morale of the army.

But Shao Weiyi couldn't help but say: "If a general can't even obey military orders, he is not worthy of being a general. If there are those who disobey military orders again, they will be executed!"

Zhu Kuo and the others looked gloomy when they heard Shao Weiyi's words. They frowned unconsciously and felt somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts.

"Heh... didn't he agree to come back to help?" Someone in the audience said with a very disdainful tone, "That's because the general is his mentor. If it were someone else, we don't know who would disobey the military order first."

"Say less..."

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, so naturally Shao Weiyi heard it.

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes filled with anger, when he suddenly saw the scout in front of him rushing over with an anxious look on his face: "Report——!"

"General! The Wu army has retreated again!" We thought we were going to face a battle to break through the pass and attack the city, but we didn't expect that the Wu army would retreat again?

"What?" Shao Weiyi couldn't believe it.

The scout looked pale, saying that the Wu army was missing again, just like before, the food and fodder were transferred and the smoke from the stoves was reduced. The scouts who went to investigate felt a little dazed when they saw the scene, and their hearts were full of confusion. How could this be! ?

Not to mention that the scouts were confused, even Shao Weiyi felt heavy in his heart. He was not afraid of the Wu army breaking through the pass and attacking the city, at least he could see the enemy's movements. What he was afraid of was that the movements were unknown!

Shao Weiyi's Adam's apple rolled, and his hands and feet turned cold almost instantly. His first reaction was to wonder what trick Zong Yan Liding was up to. He forced himself to calm down and think, why did Wu Jun suddenly repeat his old trick and do such a thing?

"Go, check if there are any signs of marching!" Shao Weiyi turned around and wanted to tell the teacher the news, but he stopped abruptly as he turned around, staring at the door with his eyes wide open.

Shao Weiyi was a little choked up. His teacher had just recovered from a serious injury, and disturbing him at this time would seem incompetent.

Shao Weiyi pursed his lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned back to Zhu Kuo and others and said: "Call all the generals to discuss matters in the tent immediately!"

He took a deep breath, his eyes solemn as he ordered the scouts to go explore again, while he summoned his generals to discuss military affairs.

The generals were all very concerned about Wu Jian'an's injuries. Shao Weiyi originally thought that there was strength in numbers and that they might be able to come up with some countermeasures. However, he did not expect that these generals were not concerned about the enemy's movements, but were concerned about Wu Jian'an's injuries instead.

With all those pretenses, how many people really care?

How many people covet the position of commander-in-chief?

Shao Weiyi stood beside the commander's seat. His teacher was seriously injured, so he was in charge of military affairs. He did not dare to sit on the commander's seat, but just stood beside it.

But now, standing here, looking at the generals under his command who are only thinking about self-preservation, he wants to take the initiative to test the strength of the Wu army, but none of his generals are willing to risk their lives. Everyone is retreating, saying that the Wu army is cunning and elusive, and our army should defend Guanzhong.

The light in Shao Weiyi's eyes dimmed little by little, and he suddenly understood something.

When the teacher stood in this position, he felt powerless, asking the soldiers to hold their ground but no one listened.

"Okay, okay..." Shao Weiyi gritted his teeth, stared at everyone and said, "Since you guys don't want to go, then I'll go!"

"General Shao, please don't act impulsively!" The generals immediately warned him, "Let's wait until the general wakes up before making any plans!"

"If this is another trick of the Wu army to lure our army out of the pass to attack the camp, then General Shao will die in vain!" Everyone tried to persuade him.

Shao Weiyi said angrily, "If you hadn't disobeyed military orders and acted on your own, how could the teacher be severely injured by Zong Yanli and unable to get up!?"

"How dare I underestimate Zong Yanli's cunning tactics! If I die, I will use my life to tell you that Jin is in danger!"

"At the critical moment of our country's survival, you are only thinking about how to protect yourselves. If the Wu army doesn't destroy us, the State of Jin will also be destroyed in your hands!" Shao Weiyi said this and left the table angrily.

"What does he mean by this?" Zhu Kuo and others were also very angry after hearing this.

"He stood up at a time like this. Who doesn't know what he is thinking? He is a student of Grand Tutor Wu. Grand Tutor Wu is seriously injured and is probably unable to lead the army. He is so eager to make achievements and show his position. It is obvious that he wants to take over the military power!"

"That's right..." Several people in the tent responded.

The others were in a state of confusion. They didn't want to offend Shao Weiyi, nor did they want to stand with Zhu Kuo and the others. Now they were in a very awkward position.

Shao Weiyi immediately counted the soldiers under his command, about five to six thousand men. He wiped the sword in his hand with tears in his eyes. He looked up at the sky and watched the sun gradually set in the west. He took a deep breath and went to investigate the enemy situation with the determination to die.

He felt very ashamed that as a student of his teacher, he failed to become a famous general like his teacher.

Shao Weiyi couldn't figure out why the Wu army was moving so strangely, so he could only use the dumbest method and go to the enemy camp himself!

If the Wu army was using a sleight of hand and they were hiding in the camp once again to lure the enemy, he would surely die if he went there. His death would be enough to let all the soldiers in Guanzhong know where the enemy was.

If the Wu army really left the camp this time, and he attacked an empty camp, he would know that the Wu army had already turned to attack Longfeng, and there was still a chance to go and support them!

Shao Weiyi couldn't explain what he felt at that moment as he rode out of the pass. All his emotions turned into a determination to fight to the death. Although he was not a brave and resourceful general like his teacher, he definitely lived up to the title of a general!

"Confused, confused!" When Wu Jian'an woke up from his coma, he saw that the personal soldier beside him wanted to say something but stopped, so he shouted at him coldly and asked him what had happened.

Only then did Wu Jian'an realize that something had happened during the short period of time he had been unconscious.

He endured the severe pain in his chest and asked, "How long has General Shao been gone?!"

"It's been two hours." The personal soldier knelt beside him and said hurriedly.

"Quick, send reinforcements." Wu Jian'an's lips turned pale, and his eyes were full of anxiety as he said, "Immediately order Zhu Kuo and several other generals to lead the army to Longfeng..."

"Are we going to reinforce General Shao and go to Longfeng?" The soldier seemed confused and puzzled.

"Cough... cough cough..." Wu Jian'an covered his lips and coughed, his eyes full of fatigue and he said in a hoarse voice: "The Wu army is using the same old trick again to confuse the enemy. The army must have changed its route to attack Longfeng. With Zong Yanli's strategy, he will definitely not leave an empty camp for us to enter at will."

"The soldiers guarding the camp are just waiting for the big fish to take the bait..." Wu Jian'an was filled with anxiety and could not say anything more: "Go and bring General Shao back!"

"Yes!" The personal soldier kneeling below understood immediately, and quickly responded and hurried out.

Wu Jian'an was able to gain fame in the State of Jin and was indeed a capable general. He guessed Zong Yanli's thoughts almost instantly.

Unfortunately……

Shao Weiyi didn't have time to think so much. At this time, he had already found out that there were empty camps in the Wu army. The Wu army had indeed changed its route!

However, he did not expect that there were troops left behind in this empty camp, and that soldier was none other than Long Feiguang of the White Eagle Army.

Long Feiguang sat upright on his horse, the broadsword in his hand was so eye-catching in the light of the fire, he looked at Shao Weiyi in front of him and said with a smile: "The general said that I should wait for the big fish to be caught here, I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect that the general was so predictable, and a big fish really came."

Long Feiguang laughed loudly, shook the big knife in his hand, and rushed towards Shao Weiyi with fierce eyes: "Since you are here, don't leave!"

Clang——!

Shao Weiyi had been fighting with Long Feiguang for a long time and tried to escape several times but failed.

"Puff!" The heavy blow of the big knife directly knocked Shao Weiyi away. It was at this moment that Shao Weiyi realized with horror that Long Feiguang's fighting power was almost the same as Zong Yanli's!

"I'll take your head so that I can report the achievement to the general!" Long Feiguang showed no mercy and swung his sword again to chop off the general's head.

"How dare you--!!!" An angry roar was heard through the air, and a blade flew over and blocked Long Feiguang's sword.

Long Feiguang continued his attack, his eyes were filled with hostility, and he almost blocked the force of the blade. When the blade flew past his waist, Long Feiguang swung the long sword in his hand crookedly and slashed towards Shao Weiyi fiercely.

Although the big knife failed to cut off Shao Weiyi's head, it did cut off half of Shao Weiyi's arm when it was cut.

"Ah——!" A scream suddenly rang out, and Dou Yuanshan, who rushed over, had red eyes when he saw this scene.

"What a pity." Long Feiguang lowered his head and covered the blood stains oozing from his waist and abdomen. Seeing that Dou Yuanshan had approached Shao Weiyi and protected him behind him, he knew that it would be difficult for him to behead him again.

He had no intention of fighting any longer, so he turned his horse around, stepped into the fire and fled away.

Shao Weiyi fell to his knees without saying a word, half of his right arm was cut off, his eyes bulged and his whole body was shaky.

Dou Yuanshan raised his hand and cut off his robe with the blade, then quickly wrapped Shao Weiyi's broken arm and tied it tightly, dragging Shao Weiyi and saying, "General Shao, hold on!"

Shao Weiyi's dazed eyes condensed, and he looked at Dou Yuanshan and opened his mouth: "Why, why did General Dou come?"

"The general has woken up and knows that General Shao is in danger, so he asked me to come to help." Dou Yuanshan said hurriedly: "The general has calculated that the Wu army has changed its attack this time, so he has asked Zhu Kuo and other generals to go to Longfeng to provide assistance."

"Teacher...did you actually predict it?" Shao Weiyi's eyes were dull, his chest filled with despair and sorrow, as if he was crying out for his own incompetence, or for his survival.
