King City had never paid so much attention to an army of 5,000 people. The status here was transcendent, and the great aristocrats seemed to have long stood aloof from the war. There were many geniuses, causing King City to seem like a paradise independent of the four prefectures.
But now, people not only paid attention to Wu Weijun, but also to Wu Weijun's new commander, Lü Shu.
Lü was a common surname, and there were also hundreds of surnames in Lü Zhou, but the first sentence was different: Lü Qian, Sun Li...
When Lü Shu and Wu Weijun became more and more famous, several great aristocrats with the surname Lü began to thoroughly check their genealogy, trying to see if this young man could be a branch of their family.
The aristocratic families had stood tall in Lv Zhou for thousands of years, spreading their branches and leaves.
Except for the direct descendants, no one particularly cared about how the branch families were doing. After all, this was an almost fixed class, and there were very few cases of commoners becoming aristocrats in the past thousand years.
But this time, Wu Weijun was different. Many great aristocrats even thought that this Wu Weijun commander, Lü Shu, was very likely to rise in the chaos, and it was not impossible for him to join the ranks of aristocrats!
So everyone hurriedly checked their genealogy to see if there was such a person. Every year, in order to curry favor with the direct descendants or use their influence, the branch families would take the initiative to report such things as genealogy to the main family. But even so, there would always be scattered branches that were gradually forgotten.
The main family never cared about this, because the main family was always superior.
But now it was different. If they confirmed that he was a branch family, then it was a bargain! This was something that could be of help to the main family!
As a result, after all the aristocratic families with the surname Lü took action, they found that they could not find a person named Lü Shu at all... It was as if this guy had appeared out of thin air!
However, at this time, the Lü family of King City's Liuli Alley suddenly announced that this Lü Shu was a branch family of their family.
When this news came out, the popularity of Wu Weijun and Lü Shu, which had waned with the reduction of gambling, actually returned to everyone's after-dinner conversations.
"Are you sure? Did the Lü family of Liuli Alley say that?"
"That's right! I didn't expect the new Commander Wu Weijun to be from their family! "
"The Old Lü Family of Liuli Alley has stood strong for so long, it's normal for a branch to suddenly rise outside. Tsk tsk, no wonder this Commander Wu Weijun dares to act so recklessly in Lü Shu. It turns out that he has confidence!"
At this moment, no one seemed to think that the Old Lu Family in Liuli Alley was trying to gain popularity. Instead, they really envied Lü Shu!
Even Song Ji Casino's High Priest, Zhao Shuai, was a little stunned when he heard about this. "No wonder that kid didn't want to be recruited by us. He only dared to play like this because he has a strong background."
Previously, when Zhao Shuai went to deliver a letter to Lü Shu, he was rejected by Lü Shu. In fact, at that time, Zhao Shuai really meant well. Because everyone knew that Wu Weijun had been playing so big recently, once the war ended, he would be attacked by the big aristocrats of Nanzhou, which would put him in a very passive position.
Therefore, at this time, the Song Family sent an olive branch. On one hand, they wanted to use Wu Weijun in the future. On the other hand, they wanted to cooperate with Lü Shu after all, and they also wanted to give Lü Shu a protective talisman. The noble master of the Song Family cherished talent.
However, Lü Shu didn't buy it.
At first, Song Ji couldn't figure out the reason, but now he understood. Lü Shu was backed by the Lü Family of Liuli Alley, so he could indeed play as he wished …
Therefore, the reason for Wu Weijun's audacity, Wu Weijun's arrogance, and the reason for Wu Weijun's rise were all attributed to the Lü Family, as if everything was natural.
However, what they didn't know was that Lü Shu didn't know anything about the Lü Family of Liuli Alley. The reason why he dared to play with Wu Weijun like this was because he was awesome, okay!
The news of the Lü Family's words didn't quickly spread outside. At least, it didn't affect the battlefield much.
Lü Shu was still thinking about how to let Wu Weijun not pay for what he had done recently. He had already decided to observe the situation of the war. As long as the Blackfeather Army dragged on long enough, when the Jianlu selection began, as long as he, Lü Shu, joined the Jianlu, no one would dare to touch Wu Weijun anymore.
Therefore, he hoped that the Blackfeather Army would be able to hold on a little longer, which would be good for him.
Therefore, Lü Shu called for an internal meeting to discuss whether they should attack the nobles' army in the name of "getting rich out of poverty" bandits. Zhang Weiyu went crazy on the spot. He had lived for so long, but this was the first time he had seen bandits actively attack a regular army …
The problem wasn't whether the bandits were strong or not, but that no matter how strong they were, they still had to consider the consequences of attacking a regular army, right?
However, Lü Shu didn't care that much. "I'm very worried that if we don't help, the Blackfeather Army won't be able to hold on …"
Zhang Weiyu sneered. "You underestimate the Blackfeather Army too much. I'm not exaggerating, but although the nobles' army is at ease and the Blackfeather Army has been fighting for months, they are still elites. If the nobles' army doesn't bring out their trump card, then the Blackfeather Army can easily defeat the nobles' army by relying on the pass. Therefore, even if the Blackfeather Army doesn't have the ability to continue north, it won't be a problem for them to defend Weibei Pass for half a year. Moreover, the Blackfeather Army at Liyang Pass has already killed their way out, so the Blackfeather Army here must defend the retreat route for the Blackfeather Army in the north! Therefore, I conclude that before the Jianlu selection, there won't be much of a change in the war situation! "
At this time, the scout Liu Yizhao suddenly walked in. "Your Majesty, the Blackfeather Army has decided to retreat!"
Lü Shu silently looked at Zhang Weiyu. Zhang Weiyu was stunned for a moment. "I've been poisoned recently, haven't I? They're retreating just like that? "
Zhang Weiyu didn't understand. His analysis was reasonable. If he was the commander-in-chief of an army, he definitely wouldn't give up on Weibei Pass so easily. Because once he gave up, it would be the same as selling out the Blackfeather Army at Liyang Pass!
In fact, Zhang Weiyu's analysis was completely correct. If he was the commander-in-chief of the Blackfeather Army, he might have fought a better battle.
However, Wu Weijun's series of dazzling maneuvers had caused this war to take an unknown path …
This time, the Blackfeather Army was really planning to retreat. It wasn't that the commander-in-chief of the Blackfeather Army felt that he couldn't defeat the nobles' army. In fact, just like Zhang Weiyu's analysis, he was 90% sure that he could defeat the other party!
But the problem was that he couldn't wait any longer. The commander-in-chief of the Blackfeather Army had bet all his assets on the gambling house. At first, he was sure that Wu Weijun wouldn't send out his troops. But recently, the group of roving bandits that had become rich out of poverty was too vexing.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the Blackfeather Army decided not to wait any longer. Since he couldn't afford to offend him, couldn't he just hide? I'll leave, alright?
As long as the Blackfeather Army retreated from Weibei Pass, the gambling house would end prematurely. In other words, Wu Weijun wouldn't send out his troops. As for whether Wu Weijun would still send out his troops in the future, that had nothing to do with the gambling house!
Right now, the commander-in-chief of the Blackfeather Army was panicking. He had to leave as soon as possible!
This was the first time in the history of Lü Zhou that a gambling house had affected the outcome of a war …
