Pingzhou.
This is a frontier fortress. As the closest place between Zhou Dynasty and Shu Kingdom, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is surrounded by dangers.
And the climates are all very different.
The fiefdom of Marquis Wenxin is naturally located here.
He was originally full of confidence, thinking that he had instigated rebellions in the four southeastern provinces, although everyone finally knew what was going on.
But since they have already rebelled, they must continue to rebel to the end, and they can't care about anything else.
The reason why Marquis Wenxin wants the four southeastern provinces to rebel is also very simple, that is, he wants to become the emperor himself!
From his point of view, the little emperor now has no strength at all. Anyway, he just wants to become a real person in power.
After successfully provoking these generals in the four southeastern provinces, he started again and activated a secret chess game he had left before.
He knew that the Great General and General Xiao He were the most suitable candidates for the expedition, so the court would definitely choose these two people.
So his initial idea was to kill the general directly, but the difficulty was too high, so it was better to let them have civil strife with each other.
Marquis Wenxin never expected that there would be someone helping him secretly. He did not provoke General Xiao He.
Who sent General Xiao He to assassinate him? It's unclear at the moment.
However, after Marquis Wenxin learned that his deeds were exposed, he stopped hiding it at all!
Instead, he began to recruit troops and horses. As a prince in a frontier fortress, he was very powerful and had a lot of soldiers and horses. Nowadays, it is relatively easy to recruit troops and horses.
The most important thing is that recently, Li Jing led the army to defect directly.
As for the other rogue soldiers and horses, they all came to his side, and they all wanted to find a place to stay.
Because these people all know that after they escape, there is only one ending, and that is death.
Only on Marquis Wenxin's side can we find a glimmer of hope.
On this day, Pingzhou, where Marquis Wenxin was located, welcomed another extraordinary figure, Xu Shanbao, who had just massacred the city.
Marquis Wenxin would naturally not hesitate. After all, these people would strengthen his own strength and give him a better chance of winning against the imperial court. All of the previous people were useless.
Only by taking refuge at his feet, Marquis Wenxin, would there be a way out.
"Marquis Wenxin, please take me in. I will definitely make the soldiers and horses I have collected belong to you. I will call you a true general, and I will obey your orders."
Marquis Wenxin didn't know what the battle ahead was like, so he asked in confusion.
"Did you lose the battle so quickly? You couldn't even hold on for a few days?"
"Master Hou, it's not really a defeat. It's because Zhou Zhengtian, an old man, has been doubting all day long, so I really have no choice."
"I killed him in a rage, and even set fire to it and slaughtered the whole city."
As soon as these words came out, Wen Xinhou was stunned on the spot! Good guy, this is even more outrageous than this guy Li Jing.
Li Jing just stole the people's food and property, but he did not choose to do such a cruel thing. This was to risk the world.
"Burn it all down?"
"Do you know how many people in the entire city you are going to burn to death? If the people of Dazhou know this, everyone will surely kill you. They will definitely try their best to kill you."
Xu Shanbao looked like he was not afraid, "It's okay. As long as I follow Mr. Hou, I can rest assured. As long as Mr. Hou is here, I won't be hurt, right?"
Marquis Wenxin couldn't help but rolled his eyes. This guy really regarded himself as his life-saving talisman, but it could not save him for the rest of his life.
Just because of what he did, anyone would be very angry.
But there is no other way. He can only take in this guy now and wait until the future...
…
Li Yuecheng.
A heavy rain extinguished all the flames in the entire city, and also brought more casualties.
Looking at the devastated city, Lu Yun couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He is a normal person, he is not an ancient person living here! Although he also killed many people, he would not be cruel enough to attack these ordinary people.
What's more, killing so many unarmed people at once is beyond the reach of one person.
"What did the court say?"
"Your Majesty has issued a proclamation to attack Marquis Wenxin. This matter has aroused public outrage, and the people of the entire Zhou Dynasty are very angry."
"The news spread more and more widely, and everyone hated Xu Shanbao even more."
"Eunuch Lu, in my opinion, we should send troops as soon as possible."
Shangguan Yan spoke quickly at the side. He now wished he could go to Pingzhou, capture Marquis Wenxin and Xu Shanbao, and whip them severely.
Lu Yun shook his head helplessly, "Although we did not lose much troops in this battle, we have already lost a lot of weapons in the front. We must now try our best to get the imperial court to mobilize supplies."
"Whether it's a crossbow or the crossbow bed we make, we need to make good preparations."
"Only by defeating Marquis Wenxin can we win this battle!"
Shangguan Yan was thoughtful and didn't ask any more questions. In fact, he knew very well.
The reason why Eunuch Lu wants to stay in this city for a longer time is just to give these people a good home.
These people are really miserable, so miserable that it makes people feel heartbroken.
"well……"
In this way, after almost seven days, when the people had almost recovered and all the people could have a hot meal, Lu Yun led the army to leave.
His compassionate heart and bodhisattva heart have also been recognized and respected by many people.
The news reached Shangjing City.
Liang Jing was also greatly surprised. In his own impression, Lu Yun was a shameful person who would never give up to achieve his goals, just like that time when he went to a brothel to find prisoners.
I didn't expect him to have such a compassionate heart.
Even many ministers in the court had a changed impression of him.
"I didn't expect that Eunuch Lu, as a person in the palace and as a general on this expedition, would also have a compassionate heart."
"Not only is this Eunuch Lu extraordinary in strength, but he is also excellent at leading troops in battles. Unexpectedly, he also has a benevolent heart for ordinary people."
"Your Majesty, what Eunuch Lu is doing is equivalent to appeasing these people for Your Majesty. I think Eunuch Lu is doing the right thing."
Even General Shangguan Yun felt ashamed, "If I face this situation, I will definitely try my best to go to Pingzhou to avenge these people."
"I will never be so calm at this time, nor will I be so compassionate. I really admire you for treating these people kindly."
"Yes, if this Eunuch Lu can really win the last battle and put down the civil strife in our great Zhou Dynasty, he will definitely have a high status."
