Chapter 1069 Unknown Risks
They went to the Qinglong tribe to collect the money, and the process was carried out according to the plan that Lu Feiyan had "talked about" in advance. There were no accidents, and the money and interest were successfully obtained.
The situation was like a bamboo shoot, and the guards were all excited, but He Lingchuan was bored and yawned.
With a deliberate plan, and a large number of people defeating a small number, it was really fishing in a net cage. What was there to say about winning?
Everyone was bragging and talking, and he was too lazy to speak.
Maybe God heard his voice, so didn't he add a little "surprise" to him temporarily?
Originally, they were all about to set off to return to the Yangshan Islands, but they asked the captives for unexpected information:
The main group of the Bailong tribe quietly moved west, and the Ya country sent people to intercept them halfway.
Lu Feiyan jumped up when he heard the news, because it was his brother who received the order from the Mou country to welcome Wanqi Tong.
If the Bailong tribe is in danger, isn't it equivalent to Lu Qingbang being ambushed?
When she heard that it was the Ya country general Wulu who was chasing the Bailong people, her face changed on the spot, and then she turned to He Lingchuan, hesitant to speak.
It just so happened that the thousand or so people led by He Island Master came out fully armed, so of course she hoped that he could lend a hand at a critical moment.
But he had no such obligation.
Looking at the hopeful eyes of the younger generation in the tribe, He Lingchuan had a lot of thoughts in his mind in an instant.
Should he save them or not?
He brought the Yangshan Guard to the Qinglong tribe to collect the money, in fact, he had found out the details of the opponent, and knew that his side had a great chance of winning, so he led the team to train in the name of "collecting debts".
If there were complications to save the Bailong people and Lu Qingbang, the intelligence would be incomplete, the outcome would be unpredictable, and the risk would be not small.
If they lost, the confidence accumulated by the Yangshan Guard in the Qinglong tribe would also be lost.
The prestige of the Yangshan Islands would also be defeated by the Ya country - you know, the Ya country has long wanted to teach the Yangshan Islands a lesson.
From a purely utilitarian point of view, since both the two goals of asking for money and training soldiers have been achieved, it is best to return victoriously.
However, He Lingchuan now has to weigh the pros and cons from more dimensions.
He cannot be as short-sighted as Lu Zhensheng, who cherishes his body when doing big things and forgets his life when seeing small profits.
First of all, he has made so much effort in the past few months to gain full favorability among Bailie and other Lu family members, and has spent money and time, of course, to pave the way for further actions in the future and win people's hearts. If he watched Lu Qingbang fall into danger and ignored it, the positive evaluation of him by the Lu family, including Lu Laoliu, would definitely be reduced.
Because Lu Feiyan was on the boat, he witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.
On the contrary, if he can successfully rescue Bailie's elite soldiers, he will greatly bring himself and Bailie closer.
After all, fighting side by side is the strongest relationship.
Secondly, apart from Wanqi Feng's pleading, the Bailong tribe is outstanding in combat power, and He Lingchuan still has some thoughts about them. Even if their final destination is not the Yangshan Islands, He Lingchuan is willing to keep this favor.
Again, and most importantly, since the battle took place by the water, he has a good chance of successfully taking the Bailong people away!
These thoughts lingered in his mind for less than a breath before the result came out. In the eyes of others, after receiving the pleading eyes of Wanqi Feng and Lu Feiyan, He Island Master nodded without hesitation:
"Turn the fleet around, we're going to Storm Harbor."
The two cheered immediately.
At the same time, He Lingchuan also asked the accompanying egrets to fly back to the Yangshan Islands to pass on the message and transfer another 2,000 guards!
Since you want to fight, fight beautifully.
He Lingchuan smiled slightly: "Yaguo always wants to make harsh words and put eye drops on us. How can we just deal with the Qinglong tribe?"
It's time to make a name for ourselves.
This bold statement immediately inspired Qiu Hu and others.
But He Lingchuan's smile didn't even reach his eyes.
This rescue of the Bailong people is not as trivial as dealing with the Qinglong tribe. The Yangshan Guards themselves have to bear great risks.
Therefore, they rushed to the vicinity of Storm Bay to collect intelligence first and then formulate a battle plan.
First of all, we have to figure out what kind of role Wulu, the general of the Ya Kingdom who led the army to encircle the Bailong people, is.
Although He Lingchuan has also collected information about the Ya Kingdom, Wanqi Feng and Lu Feiyan, who fought on the East Front of Bailie, certainly have more say on this point.
Wulu is one of the five pillar generals of the Ya Kingdom. He has a brilliant record in the past. He has defeated the two most important tribes and cleared the last obstacle for the establishment of the country by the great leader.
This person is meticulous, good at ambushes, and likes to lure the enemy into a trap. He once ambushed the enemy on the road that the enemy must pass for more than half a month without leaving any trace. The enemy thought he had withdrawn, so he left the city and was captured alive by Wulu.
He Lingchuan pondered: "This man doesn't like to take risks when he acts, right?"
Wanqi Feng said directly: "Yes, he doesn't like it."
"My brother and I have never dealt with him directly, but as far as we know, he rarely leads the troops." Lu Feiyan said, "In the Ya Kingdom, which is full of brave generals, it is rare to find a commander with this kind of temperament."
Wanqi Feng: "Fraudulent."
Qiu Hu: "Likes to plan and strategize."
Ya Kingdom sent such a general, which means it is determined to get rid of the Bailong people and never leave any trouble.
According to the tradition of Ya Kingdom, even if the Bailong people surrender, they will be exiled to a desolate place and serve as coolies for generations.
"But I don't quite understand, how did he know that we would deploy ships in Storm Bay?" Lu Feiyan frowned, "If he learned from the spy that we Bailie would go to support, it would not be strange. But how did he know that my brother's back-up was deployed in Storm Bay?"
"Look at the westward route of the Bailong people, it is not far from the sea. They don't have ships, but Bailie does." Qiu Hu pointed at the sand table and said, "If I were Wulu, I would have to consider your brother's route if I knew that Bailie was coming to pick him up. On this road, the easiest boarding point is Storm Bay."
The fastest way is by land, and it only takes a hundred miles to get to Baishitun. This is definitely the first choice of the Bailong people.
If they change to taking a ship, the Bailong people will have to walk nearly thirty miles of winding mountain roads to get to Storm Bay. Moreover, there are nearly 40,000 of them. How many ships will Bailie have to send to transport them back?
So the sea route can only be a backup option.
He Lingchuan was also thinking: "In addition, there are many Yaguo merchants in Blade Port. As long as Wulu pays attention, it is not difficult to find out that Bailie rents large ships everywhere. Comparing the two, isn't this a conclusion?"
Lu Feiyan suddenly realized.
When she led troops on the eastern front of Bailie before, she only fought and killed people. When she was short of money and food, she asked the Lu family for it. It was straightforward and simple. Why did she need to integrate so many tricks?
"War is a science." He Lingchuan looked at her. This little girl still has a lot to learn.
"One land route and one sea route. As long as Wulu seizes these two routes, the Bailong people will not be able to escape from his grasp. The situation is not complicated." He Lingchuan asked Lu Feiyan, "How many ships did Bailie dispatch this time?"
