Luzi returned to his troops after repeatedly simulating the situation through military chess. He believed this was the escape route left by Bai Qi for the Qin Army, especially since the rainy season was approaching, which would raise the water levels of the Dan Shui River. The numerous boats left by the Qin Army on the Qin River could be redirected to assist at Yanggu Stream.
Once the breakout was successful, the Army could take boats downstream without any issues. When the arriving Zhao Army faced the obstruction of the great river, they would only be left sighing at the water.
When Sima Jin eagerly spotted dozens of riders kicking up dust, his previously uncertain heart suddenly found its home. Wuan! With Wuan's strength, the nation would be stabilized! Wuan Jun indeed had a plan! The Grand Commander proved everything with his own thoughts and fearlessness...
Facing Sima Jin, all of Wang Jian's previous doubts vanished. This was indeed the intention of the Grand Commander. While he had yet to fully comprehend, Luzi had already understood! We did not lack our own troops; in fact, we had over twenty thousand seasoned veterans from the Old Unit!
Luzi looked at Sima General, whose face was filled with anticipation, but he felt no joy. His greatest concern was seeing Sima Jin, as this answer was what he least wanted to confront.
To be honest, deductions are still just deductions. Before this answer emerged, Luzi did not have high hopes. After all, the battlefield was here, and he believed that the subsequent competition among large Armies would become increasingly fierce. He had just begun to experience the grandeur and passion of battles at this level when he was sent to the rear...
The meaning of Wuan Jun and Bai Qi has now been confirmed; this is what led Luzi back to the vicinity of the Dan Shui River. The so-called Old Unit could also be understood as an elderly group—could it be said like that!?
Luzi did not want anyone to see his disappointment. Moreover, military orders are as heavy as a mountain! War is not child's play; a slight misstep could lead to total annihilation of the army. Finally convincing himself, Luzi assessed the situation and immediately ordered the Charioteer Camp to return to the Dan Shui River Defense Line!
The entire Zhao Kuo's Army was positioned west of Tiger Back Ridge and around the great Xiaoliang Mountain, while part of the Qin Army, led by Bai Qi, was also deployed west of Tiger Back Ridge. At this moment, the road east of Tiger Back Ridge was extremely safe; not even a single animal hair was encountered along the way.
Confidently, Lu Zigang counted that he currently had a full force of twenty-five thousand men. Having them is better than not having them! Besides, there were still people like Meng Wu, Sun Thirteen, and Brother Li Xin!
Hearing these reassuring words, an incredibly frustrated Wang Jian merely grinned without laughing out loud. Just thinking about those eagerly awaiting elderly uncles made his tears flow uncontrollably.
At this moment, Luzi had already escaped his psychological trap due to his understanding of Qin Army Commander Bai Qi. What Bai Qi most hoped for now was to commit all his forces to crush Zhao Kuo's dreams. He wanted his opponent to understand what it cost to attempt to block the relentless advance of history's wheels.
Facing the powerful Zhao Army, having one more person means one more strength. Bai Qi would never allow the Army stationed in the war zone to remain idle; this seemingly marginalized Qin Army could very well be a surprise force.
What is a surprise force? It is a unit prepared to achieve remarkable feats that deserves such a name!
Wuan Jun assigned the rising star of the Sima Family and kept Meng Wu and his generals at the Dan Shui River Defense Line. If this does not indicate something significant, then what could? Therefore, compared to the current participation in battle, the issue of troop redeployment has become trivial.
Upon hearing the news of the general's return, Meng Wu led everyone to welcome him from ten miles away. Seeing General Meng, who had been quite unlucky, Lu Zi's first words were quite confrontational. He told the beaming Meng Wu that how a person lives their life is predetermined. Although this sounded superstitious, it was indeed true!
Unexpectedly, Meng Wu completely misunderstood the meaning and stated in front of his brothers that one should never resign to fate. Looking back at the path he had walked, all his hard work had already blossomed into flowers covering the land. The reason for not succeeding was simply that his efforts were not enough!
How unlucky General Meng truly was; previously, only Lu Zi had been unconvinced and refused to acknowledge it. Now everyone else seemed to share a sense of camaraderie upon hearing this. Realizing that the defiant Meng Wu could articulate such sentiments indicated that Lu Zi had brainwashed him into this mindset.
Li Xin took great pleasure in this, signaling to his stunned brothers with a look that conveyed a standard answer: you reap what you sow!
The rainy season arrived unexpectedly, though it was anticipated. As the water level of the Dan Shui River rose, the river surface became broader. Analyzing the traces left by the water on the riverbank indicated that it had not yet reached its highest level; however, since they had just entered the rainy season and given the density of rainfall, it was likely to break historical records.
The following days were as leisurely as a vacation; Bai Qi, commanding from the front lines, seemed to have forgotten there was still a fully-staffed Qin Army here. He had already decided to wait for combat orders while Lu Zi calmed down morale and even developed a fondness for fishing. Ignoring objections from the old generals, he took out his private funds to organize a fishing competition.
The next stretch of pleasant time was spent by the Dan Shui River, but only he and Xiao Yu'er remained as participants. Was this happiness? It felt like being in a paradise!
Thinking of paradise reminded Lu Zi of Meng Wu. Previously, he had secretly sent someone to bring Sister Meng and Little Meng Tian back to Qin State and settled them in but had not mentioned this to Meng Wu. Recently, due to busy military affairs, he had forgotten about it until now.
So he sent Xiao Yu'er back to call General Meng to the riverbank and told her that he needed to discuss something with Brother Meng. Once Xiao Yu'er understood and bounced away, Lu Zi stood by the river with his fishing rod lost in thought. He didn't know how to remind Meng Wu after all these years had passed.
When the familiar footsteps sounded behind him, Luzi let out a heavy sigh. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Meng Wu would still return home for a family reunion. Before that, it was acceptable to sound the alarm, as some matters could not be allowed to continue unchecked.
Lu Zigang turned around but had not yet spoken when he saw Meng Wu suddenly kneel on the ground.
"General! Meng Wu acknowledges his mistake and asks for your punishment!"
Luzi had no intention of helping anyone up; after all, this mistake was indeed real. Looking at the silent Meng Wu, he asked, "Have you visited Sister-in-law at home?"
No matter what identity Luzi held now, whether as the leader of the Retainers or as a general, he was above Meng Wu's current rank. Therefore, from any perspective, Meng Wu had to listen to him in both capacities.
