Lukou City.
After the successful mutiny, Qin Xing was in high spirits. He had 40,000 elite troops and occupied fortified cities. He had great potential.
At the same time, asking Liang Yan for land was not an arrogance on his part, but a decision made after careful consideration.
Liang Guo was newly established, and Lukou still needed to resist the Yan army.
In Qin Xing's view, the two sides have a cooperative relationship. Without Lukou, Li Yue would not be able to stand in Hebei.
Therefore, Liang Guo will definitely not fall out.
As for Yan State, he didn't think much about it at all. The fool also knew that Murong Jun would not give Xiang State Zhongshan to him. The reason why he was so high-profile was actually to put pressure and threats on Yecheng.
If Li Yue doesn't give it to you, I can turn around and surrender to Yan State.
Qin Xing knew that the gap in strength was too big and he would definitely not be able to defeat Yan and Liang, so he could only take the wrong approach.
Of course, the main reason is that Yecheng has always responded to their requests, which also allowed Qin Xing to push forward.
When the envoy's head was sent back from Jicheng, Qin Xing was not surprised at all. "If the two countries are at war and the envoy is not killed, the Murong family has no faith at all."
The bloody heads made the generals of Lukou hate the Yan country even more.
"The King of Liang has been good at waiting for me these two years, but he is too stingy. It is not that I am ungrateful, but I am taking advantage of this opportunity to ask for more land. In the future, everyone can be promoted and make a fortune. I am doing this for you." , that’s why it has to be like this." Qin Xing said earnestly.
"Your Majesty has worked so hard, how can I know this? From now on, I, Lu Hu, will follow your Majesty to the death." Lu Hu bowed his head and bowed.
"I will follow the king through fire and water, no matter what!" Gao Chong also bowed down.
Qin Xing rebelled, and Lu Hu also gained a lot. Half of Wang Wu's old troops joined his command.
There was still a small group of people who wanted to avenge Wang Wu, but they were basically eliminated.
"The city of Lukou is high and deep, strangling the throat of Hebei. As long as you hold on, you will have a chance in the future!" Qin Xing had just sat on the throne of King An, and it was the time when Qin Xing was at his greatest ambition.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Hu shouted the loudest and most piously.
Only Lu Bozao watched with cold eyes.
After everyone dispersed, as soon as Lu Hu returned to the mansion, the servant said mysteriously: "General, people from Yecheng and Jicheng have been sent!"
Lu Hu's eyes flashed with joy, he looked back carefully, and then quickly walked through the door.
"General Lu, are you alright?" In the small courtyard, a man stood with his hands behind his back. It was Feng Fang, the brother of Feng Yi, the Prime Minister of Yan State.
"It turns out to be Brother Feng." Lu Hu bowed his hands.
"Now that Li Yue has regained Yuzhou and pacified the Central Plains, his army is heading north. King Yan has annexed Youzhou and will surely move south. Lukou is caught in the middle. I don't know what the general wants?" Feng Fang didn't make any nonsense.
"I don't know what King Yan means?"
"The governor of Jizhou, the general who conquered the south, and the Marquis of Raoyang."
Lu Hu's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "I am loyal to the king, but Brother Feng has found the wrong person."
Loyal, but the price is not enough.
The one who came out of Yecheng was King An.
Boling County has jurisdiction over four counties: Anping, Raoyang, Nanshenze, and Anguo. After all, Wang Wu is also the king of a county. When he arrived in Yan State, he became a county prince. Naturally, Lu Hu would not betray his "loyalty".
Feng Fang said sternly: "General Lu is so short-sighted. Dayan has a vast territory and millions of people. If it weren't for this year's natural disaster, hundreds of thousands of troops would have gone south. When His Highness ascends the throne, he will never treat the general badly. If His Highness is granted the title of General, As a king, we should be treated as equals. How can the general treat the King of Yan in the future? From this point of view, Yecheng's move to make the king a king contains evil intentions and has no real intention. Li Yue's army will be strong in the future, how can he tolerate you!"
Lu Hu frowned.
Feng Fang did not continue speaking, with a confident smile on his face.
"Brother Feng, please think about it for a few days."
"If General Lu refuses to accept the chaos after being cut off, there must be others in Lukou City who are willing to do so!" Feng Fang dropped these words and turned around to leave.
Lu Hu was left to ponder.
In another courtyard, Yang Lue was sipping tea with peace of mind.
Zhang Zhuer looked restless and kept stroking the handle of the knife with one hand, "Lu Hu hasn't come to see us until now. He must be colluding with the Xianbei people. You and I have a small matter of life and death, but they have ruined the important matter of His Highness."
Both of them married and had children. They had mansions and land in Yecheng and Chenliu. They were served by six or seven barbarian women at home, and more than a dozen slaves worked in the fields.
This kind of day was something I had never dreamed of in Black Cloud Mountain a few years ago.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Zhang Zhuer had already put his life and death at risk and only wanted to serve the King of Liang.
"Even if Lu Hu secretly communicates with the Xianbei people, he would not dare to do anything to us." Yang Lue was wearing a Confucian robe, calm and calm, quite like a celebrity.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Heiyun Army always remained calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai. Yang Lue dared to come, so he naturally considered all possibilities.
"Your Highness has his own clever plan. Why should you and I panic? If we drink a cup of tea, we still don't know who will win!" Yang Lue brought a cup of tea to Zhang Zhuer.
Zhang Zhuer drank it all in one gulp. He didn't know whether it was the tea or Yang Lue's words that had an effect. The anxiety in his heart was indeed relieved a lot.
"You two are so excited!" The main leader Lu Hu finally arrived.
Yang Lue saluted with one hand, "Meet General Lu."
Lu Hu stared at the two men's hands and was slightly startled, but out of courtesy, he still returned the gift and said, "You two have come from afar. I wonder if you have been entrusted by the King of Liang?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Liang said that General Lu is a smart man and he naturally knows how to make decisions." Yang Lue was not in a hurry.
Both parties are well aware of what Yecheng can provide.
Lu Hu looked at Yang Lue, "Is it possible that the King of Liang is not afraid that Lukou will be acquired by the Murong family?"
Yang smiled slightly, "The soldiers of Lukou have been fighting with the Yan people for nearly ten years. The hatred is as deep as the sea. Neither Wang Wu nor Qin Xing dared to surrender to the Yan State. Could it be that General Lu dares to take the risk?"
Jie Zhao and Ran Wei perished one after another, but Lukou continued to resist the Yan army.
If he could surrender, he would have surrendered long ago. There was no need to wait for him, Lu Hu, to come.
Lu Hu's face darkened, and he suddenly realized that things were far from that simple.
Yang Lue drank tea leisurely, "The current situation, the only way is to maintain the old status quo, General Lu can securely sit on the throne of the king! The Yan country is full of talents, even if General Lu surrenders, he will never be able to make a difference. If you don't see the Bohai Sea, Pang Yuehu?"
Pang Yue is the leading tycoon in Jizhou. His ancestor was Pang Ji (Feng Ji), a counselor under Yuan Shao. After being deceived by Feng Yi, he lived in Yan State with his tail between his legs.
The major forces in the Yan Kingdom have long been saturated, how can they give up the advantage to a surrendered general?
Lu Hu's face became increasingly ugly.
If you cheat and make an appointment, you can also get a share of it.
After a long time, Lu Hu raised his brows and made a decision in his heart, "The King of Liang really has many talents under his command!"
"Don't dare. A disabled person cannot fight for the King of Liang to kill the enemy. He can only sacrifice himself to do what he can for the King of Liang. General Lu and I, Daliang, have a close relationship. The King of Liang cannot bear the general to fall into Murong's trap." Therefore, I sent you to come and advise." The matter was successful, but Yang Lue still had the same calm expression.
"Okay, since King Liang agrees, I will take action tonight without further ado!" Lu Hu has no need to pretend anymore, King An is bound to win!
If you can become a king, you naturally don't want to be a dog in the Yan Kingdom.
"I will return to Yecheng and report to the King of Liang."
