Lu Hao asked whether he was still tied up by Wu Hua Da. Lu Jia looked at Mei Changlin meaningfully. This is indeed a capable person...

"Master Mei, you are indeed a sharp sword. However, in the dead of night, you should also think carefully about whose hand is this sword of yours? You have indeed won in today's situation. , but do you know how much trouble it will bring to South Vietnam if you kill Lu Haowen?"

After Lu Jia finished speaking, he turned around and walked away. His originally upright back instantly became a little rickety.

This matter has reached the point where even he, the prime minister, is a little unsure of it now.

Lu Haowen died after all, with humiliation all over his body, due to a group beating by the people.

Looking at those crazy people, the expression in Lu Jia's eyes was extremely complicated.

With such folk customs, how could South Vietnam be spared?

A gust of autumn wind blew, and Lu Jia shivered for no reason. The people slowly dispersed, leaving only a mess on the ground.

It was raining, and layers of rain curtains shrouded the devastated South Vietnam.

Sitting alone in a high-rise building, Lu Jia felt extremely complicated. After seeing the angry people beating Lu Haowen to death, he actually felt a burst of fear in his heart for no reason.

In so many years, this was the first time he had seen such a ferocious side of these people...

Originally, he had always thought that they were the superior herdsmen.

And those ordinary people are just cattle and sheep under their hands.

But now it seems that these cattle and sheep have suddenly turned into jackals, tigers and leopards...

The news of Lu Haowen's life and death spread throughout Panyu City, and all the high-ranking officials in Panyu City were dumbfounded overnight.

When Lu Haowen was beaten and killed, of all the crimes he had committed, which of them didn't?

They speculated on goods, greatly enriched the country, suppressed land prices, and annexed land wantonly. In addition, they hoarded grain after the failure of the autumn harvest and raised grain prices.

One after another, which noble person in the entire Panyu City has not done this?

Lu Haowen's death sounded the alarm for them.

Now, everyone is full of fear of the mastermind behind the scenes...

I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, evidence of my crime will be flying all over the city tomorrow morning.

When all the information was gathered into Liu Deng's hands, Liu Deng's expression suddenly became relaxed.

"Your Majesty, Qin City has been captured. When should we set off?"

Seeing people eating meat, Yuan Qing is really impatient at this time.

Liu Deng's choice for them was to go to Yangshan Pass, but until now, Liu Deng had just let them stay where they were to train, but had no intention of letting them set off.

The news about Yangshanguan has been released a long time ago. Over the past few days, Lu Chengdong has been repairing the city wall there day and night.

Yangshanguan is already easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the power of the artillery has been exposed this time. If this guy is shameless and directly blocks all the positions of the city gate, they really have nothing to do with this guy. way.

"Why are you so anxious? Didn't I tell you that we are fighting for the hearts and minds of the people in this battle! Tell the soldiers to train well. Since the king has sent them here, it is natural for them to take full credit and then live in peace. Go home!"

Liu Deng said nonchalantly while drinking.

"But if we wait any longer, Your Majesty, I'm afraid the two Marquises and the others will have to fight to Panyu City!"

Although his words were correct, Yuan Qing still felt a little unwilling to do so.

He has been holding his breath since the injury healed.

"Go back and practice. Stop chattering here. It will take another half a month. Don't worry!"

Liu Deng stretched while talking.

Things are moving slowly towards his plan step by step, and the officialdom of South Vietnam is now in chaos.

Those petty bureaucrats at the middle and lower levels have been almost killed by the Tingwei Mansion.

Anyone who has the ability has already run far away at this time.

The remaining ones now are either mediocre people who have been sitting on the bench all their lives and were forcibly promoted at this time.

These people have common characteristics, either they are incompetent or they have never been exposed to the core business. In short, they are all absolute novices to their current positions.

Dealing with various complicated government affairs requires a lot of time to adapt and accumulate experience.

But now they don't have such an opportunity, and each one of them is actually chasing a duck to get on the shelves.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be many mistakes and omissions. The high-level officials are now completely panicking because of Lu Haowen's death.

Zhao Wengu and the others have made so much money. Under the current social atmosphere in South Vietnam, there is nothing that cannot be bought as long as you have money.

As long as the price is right, you can even quickly find out what the King of Nanyue said when he spent the night with his concubine last night.

During the past period of time, Zhao Wengu had obtained countless evidence through various channels.

It can be said that no matter who Lu Jia and the others want to reuse, Zhao Wengu has the ability to make him look like a rat crossing the street with his backhand.

Coupled with the food crisis in South Vietnam, it has begun to intensify.

A large amount of food was either united by merchants and wealthy families, or was directly taken away by the Tingwei Mansion. Anyway, the food that the common people could buy was getting less and less.

Liu Deng saw through this, so now he is not in a hurry to send troops.

Over at Yangshanguan, even if the Lu family fully supports them, the food they can allocate is very limited.

With tens of thousands of people eating horse chews, plus the cost of transporting grain and grass, and the war situation in Qincheng, they could only endlessly recruit civilians to strengthen the city wall.

All of this requires food. The formation has not yet been opened, and the food near Yangshanguan has been exhausted by them.

It didn't take long before the Han army started to fight and they were already running out of food and grass.

When the hungry people start making trouble, no matter how many dangers they are given, they will only surrender voluntarily in the end.

Liu Deng was only thinking about how to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, but Zhou Yafu didn't have the patience.

After the fall of Qin City, in addition to leaving five thousand soldiers to defend the city, he directly began to lead the army southward along the Li River.

Faced with Zhou Yafu's pressing step by step, the entire South Vietnam army was in a panic.
