Three days later.
In Cangzhou, Lidu City is at the foot of Lidu Mountain.
As a frontline general, Kang Zhu frowned and looked at a piece of information in his hand. According to the intelligence, Miao Tong, the commander of the navy, colluded with Xishu to rebel. The incident was exposed and he fled into the mountains for a while.
"I'm not very familiar with Miao Tong." Kang Zhu's voice was deep, "But what's going on with the other information, that Feife actually rebelled?"
Both were from Shanyue, and he and Feif were also familiar with each other.
"As the lord's in-law, why would he do this?"
"General...it seems that after the Liang King's people entered Dongling, more and more troubles occurred." Beside Kang Zhu, an aide said hesitantly.
"Shut up." Kang Zhu shouted, "You need to understand that this is the lord's decision. We and other generals only need to follow the lord's wishes."
"It's already known to everyone that Feifu is kissing Shu. I looked for him earlier and even reminded him secretly, but it's a pity that he didn't listen."
Kang Zhu closed his eyes and sighed.
"The Mufeng tribe in Shanyue is Feifu's family. After learning about Feifu's murder, they are already starting to make trouble."
"You don't know that Fefu's status in the Mufeng tribe is that of the leader's son."
Around Kang Zhu, several close generals became silent.
"The rebellion in Wuzhou has already reached Lingzhou. It won't be long before it reaches Chuzhou and Cangzhou. I have already sent a letter to my lord to put down the rebellion myself."
"General, I heard that Cai Meng, the Zhenzhou general of Wuzhou, has joined forces with more than 30,000 men and is already attacking in the direction of the rebels—"
"That loser who is so happy about his achievements." Kang Zhu's face was cold and he regained his murderous look, "If I find out that there is something fishy about Feifu's murder, I will be the first to kill him!"
In the entire Dongling, apart from Zuo Shiren, Kang Zhu was the second person who dared to say this. Last year, someone was gossiping about the disloyalty of the Shanyue people. After Kang Zhu heard this, he brought a knife directly into the house and killed him with a knife. Afterwards, he was also commended by Zuo Shiren.
"General... we are both from Yue, and I also feel that Feifu's matter is not simple. Could it be that the general wants to help redress the injustice?"
Kang Zhu shook his head, "Redressing injustice is a small matter of justice, and we can do it later. What we have to do now is to put out the fire of Dongling Rebellion. I don't believe Cai Meng in Wuzhou. I plan to go there myself."
"General, are you leaving Lidu City? Outside Lidu City, the lame military advisor of Western Shu is already gathering an army and threatening to attack."
"It's just a diversionary measure. Without a suitable opportunity, Cripple will not attack by force. You have to understand that the lame man's diversion and the Wuzhou rebellion are actually connected together. With the ability of that idiot Cai Meng, he If we can’t stop it, even if we hurriedly gather 30,000 people, they will still be nothing more than a mob.”
Kang Zhu then frowned and said, "I have calculated that in ten days at most, no matter how the rebellion is suppressed, I will rush back to Lidu City. You stay in Lidu City and find someone with a similar figure to me. My armor patrols the tower every morning and dusk."
"If the cripple really dares to attack the city, I will definitely rush back immediately."
Several close generals knew what their general meant and hesitated to persuade him.
"In addition, the people of the Mufeng Tribe are extremely brave. There are three to four thousand people in the Fifty Thousand Mountain Breakout Camp. If they know about Feifu, Lidu City may be in chaos. Remember, blockade Lidu City Foreign news exchanges.”
"I'm going to counter the rebellion. Safety is the top priority. I don't plan to use the Shanyue Camp. I will only bring two thousand personal soldiers."
"General, the rebellion in Wuzhou, plus the words of Haimin, has reached close to 16,700 people in the past few days."
"I know." Kang Zhu nodded, "I have some considerations. You can just follow my military orders and stay in Lidu City. On the front line of Kezhou, the war was stalemate for a long time. After the stalemate, Xu Buyi used provocation Plan. Although I don’t know what he wants to do, no matter what, the peace and stability of the three Dongling states will be defended by me, Kang Zhu!"
Kang Zhu put on his armor calmly, turned around and walked out.
…
It was already dark. At the junction of Wuzhou and Lingzhou, in the dense forest to the south, under the bright moonlight, there are moving figures everywhere.
At this time, Lu Xiong, wearing a blood-stained battle armor, stood on a high slope, looking down at the people around him.
Among them, there were Shu soldiers who followed him and unwilling sea people, and everyone had a look of expectation on their faces.
Beside Lu Xiong, there was also a burly seaman standing. This sea dweller is called Pan Ji, and he is the leader of this sea dweller rebellion. As a native of Wuzhou, Pan Ji has always been oppressed by the Dongling people, and there has always been a sense of unwillingness in Pan Ji's heart.
The timing of this rebellion was very good. Coupled with Cai Meng's brutality, Pan Ji simply took the lead in the rebellion and joined forces with the Shu soldiers to block the Dongling army that was countering the rebellion.
"Everyone, I'll keep my story short." Lu Xiong's face froze.
In the huge open space, no bonfire was lit for fear of being discovered by the counter-rebels. The cold wind blew through the woods late at night.
"The Dongling army of 30,000 has been assembled and will come to suppress the rebellion. But now, we only have 16,000 people, and we are not strong soldiers."
Of the 16,000 people, there were only more than 3,000 Shu soldiers left, and most of the rest were sea dwellers with insufficient armor and low morale. Some even fought with sticks.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as they are surrounded by rebels, they will definitely die.
"What I mean is that I will march on the forest road and go around to Lingzhou. I heard that there are many mountains in Lingzhou. After killing for a few times, I will hide in the old mountains and wait for the opportunity."
I have to say that Lu Xiong's plan is a relatively safe method. After all, during the war, Dongling's army would not be too large in number, and it would be impossible for the time being to encircle the mountain and suppress the bandits.
"I'll listen to what General Lu wants!" As the leader of the sea people, Pan Ji raised his arms and spoke with a big sword on his shoulder. He understood that the fighting all the way was thanks to the Xishu general in front of him, so he would not fall into the enemy's encirclement and suppression.
"General Lu, General Lu!" At this time, behind the crowd in the open space, an old man in ragged clothes came out.
"General Lu, I heard that the Mufeng tribe of the Shanyue people has rebelled because their leader was killed! Now they are gathering in the mountains and forests more than a hundred miles east to avenge the leader. !”
"I also heard that the little leader who was close to Shu was beheaded by General Wuzhou and was carried under the city on a bamboo pole, exposed to wind and rain."
"The little leader who kisses Shu? What's his name..." Lu Xiong was startled and vaguely guessed the name.
"My name is Fife. I heard he is a very good general."
Lu Xiong paused, stunned. Of course he knew Feifu. When he first entered the South China Sea, he was with his lord.
"Come here, take five fast horses and send a message to the Mufeng tribe in Shanyue. Tell us that our army in Western Shu has the same goal as the Mufeng tribe and will definitely avenge Fefu!"
