Chapter 967 A Little Experience
It was a great pity for Fu Qingzhou that he was not able to join Ning Wushu as a soldier in the Northern Frontier Army and fight in a few battles.

When he was in the police academy in his previous life, he liked the iron-blooded atmosphere in the military. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to fulfill his adoptive father's last wish, he might have applied to a military academy.

Of course he knew the cruelty and bloodiness of the battlefield, and he was not one who was too naive. It was just that for a passionate man, going into battle to kill the enemy and watching the smoke of war was always a very romantic thing.

Therefore, the low and powerful roars of the soldiers in front of him made Fu Qingzhou's blood boil.

"it is good!"

He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, what we have to do next is to head towards Shu. In order to prevent me from quelling the civil strife, those bastards of the Xishuo Army sent a lot of people to encircle and suppress my relatives and friends."

"I, Fu Qingzhou, dare not say how important or powerful I am, but I am definitely not modest. With me here, they can't accomplish anything!"

"So, I'm asking you guys..."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes shone, and his tone became sharp: "Kill all those bastards who are blocking the road!"

"Order!"

All the soldiers responded loudly!

"Time is tight, I won't say any more."

Fu Qingzhou nodded with satisfaction and said, "After dinner, we will break camp and set off immediately."

"Yes!" The soldiers responded loudly again.

Then, without any additional instructions, they all stood up. The civilians who served them had already brought dinner. The soldiers sat down in silence and began to eat. The civilians also returned to the boiler to eat their food.

Compared to soldiers, civilians have to eat faster because after eating, they still have to work - leading horses, packing armor and luggage, and loading food and fodder onto carts, all of these are what they need to do.

"Master Fu, let's come this way."

Lu Chengping smiled.

He led Fu Qingzhou aside and handed him a thick booklet.

"This is the roster of our Zhouzi Camp."

He said: "The names, origins, and official positions of all the soldiers are recorded. I have specially marked some of the names. They are all relatively unique people, but these people also have abilities. If used well, they can also have miraculous effects."

"In addition, our Northern Frontier Army's unique military tactics also require constant practice to make progress. Although the military situation is not particularly urgent, I still hope that Master Fu can spare some time every day for the soldiers to practice."

"besides……"

He spoke eloquently. After Fu Qingzhou heard the beginning, he realized that this military advisor was teaching him how to lead these Northern Frontier soldiers. He quickly calmed his mind and quietly cast a spell so that he could remember every word.

The soldiers over there had finished their dinner and had even packed up their things before Lu Chengping had almost finished giving his instructions.

In fact, what he said was just the "outline" without going into any details.

“That’s about it.”

Lu Chengping was a little tired after talking for a while, and smiled a little tiredly: "Leading troops to fight is a very troublesome thing. Although Master Fu is only temporarily leading the Zhouzi Camp, he is far away from the main army and deep in Shu to fight against the Xishuo Army. He cannot be careless at all."

"Mr. Lu is thoughtful."

Fu Qingzhou bowed seriously.

He really admired this military advisor. Hong Ruohai knew that he could not lead troops, but he still sent a capable person over.

"Later, I will prepare a few military books for Lord Fu, and you can read them when you have nothing to do." Lu Chengping said with a smile.

After talking about this, it was almost time to break camp and set off. Lu Chengping took a few steps and suddenly turned around and glanced at Fu Qingzhou.

At this time, Fu Qingzhou was holding the roster and obviously looked like he was having a headache.

"Master Fu, you don't have to worry about not being able to control the soldiers."

Lu Chengping smiled at him and said, "Your chivalrous act has been known all over the world for several years, and the soldiers also admire you very much."

……

The Zhou Camp set off.

According to the intelligence, Tang Jiao and his group should be trapped on the road from Shu to Northern Xinjiang. There is a narrow area there that runs from northwest to southeast, shaped like a corridor. Because it is located on the west side of Fuhe Province, it is called the Hexi Corridor.

Because the Yuan family has a huge influence in Fuhe Province, the Hexi Corridor is almost completely under their control. However, to go from Shu to the northern border, one must either go through the Western Regions or the Hexi Corridor. In comparison, the Western Regions is even more dangerous, so it is normal for Tang Jiao and the others to choose to take the current route.

There are also two main roads leading to the Hexi Corridor from Yangsha City.

One route is to go through northern Xinjiang and enter the Hexi Corridor from the north.

The other way, of course, is to go around to Shu. This route is not only longer, but also goes straight into the sphere of influence of the Xishuo Army.

"So, I suggest going to Shu."

In the carriage, Fu Qingzhou spoke calmly to Lu Chengping.

Lu Chengping was shocked: "Master Fu, although it is said that warfare is about deception and taking the unexpected, is this our choice..."

"I never thought of the idea of ​​cunning in war."

Fu Qingzhou interrupted him and said calmly: "I was just thinking that the real target of the Xishuo Army is me. They just don't dare to go to Beijiang and Beiyi to cause trouble for me... Now I'm here and I've personally gone to their territory. What do you think they will do?"

"!!!"

Lu Chengping was startled: "They will immediately adjust their direction and rush towards us...and your friend will be safe."

"That's right." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Our goal is to rescue people. If we enter the Hexi Corridor from the north, we will have to fight against the Xishuo Army and then turn back to the northern border after rescuing people, right?"

"Yes... But if we do this, once we enter the Hexi Corridor, the Xishuo Army will be aware of it and may even send more people. Your friend will be in great danger, and it will be more difficult for us to rescue him. We may even be surrounded when we retreat."

Lu Chengping's eyes narrowed. "But if we go through Shu, with our limited mobility, we can march quickly all the way without attacking cities or plundering land. If the Xishuo army comes to us, we can fight and rob all the way, quickly pass through the north side of Shu, go to the Hexi Corridor, and immediately head north after rescuing people..."

"In that situation, there's no need for a retreat plan. All you have to do is keep running forward..."

He was a smart man and figured out the situation quickly.

Fu Qingzhou nodded: "The only thing we have to worry about is whether we can withstand such a high-intensity march and whether we can break through the siege of the Xishuo Army like a sharp arrow!"

Hearing this, Lu Chengping smiled and said, "Master Fu, are you doubting the ability of the Northern Frontier Army?"

Fu Qingzhou also laughed.

"Before, I underestimated your ability, sir."

Lu Chengping bowed his head slightly: "My lord, you understand the art of war."

"No, I don't know the art of war."

Fu Qingzhou said frankly: "But I understand a little bit about human nature... In this regard, I still have a little experience."
