The night wind blew slowly, and there were many dark shadows in the city.
Yang Lue and Zhang Zhuer did not leave.
"I don't understand, since the big thing has been accomplished, why do you still want to stay?" Zhang Zhuer whispered.
"Do you think Lu Hu will sincerely surrender to Daliang?"
"This person is tossing and turning, how can he return to his hometown?"
"As long as Lukou is not in the hands of His Highness, this place will always be a disaster. The person who really persuaded Your Highness to surrender is not Lu Hu." Yang Lue said with a smile.
Zhang Zhuer's tense brows relaxed, "Now I know why His Highness entrusted you with such a big thing!"
"It's about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. You and I are both disabled people, but we can be reused. How can we not sacrifice our lives? Haven't you always wanted to fight? Now there is an opportunity. The brother of the Prime Minister of Yan State is in the city. You You can lead twenty brothers to deal with them."
"Don't you want to go?"
"I have other things to do." Yang Lue raised his head and took a deep breath of the bloody smell that filled the autumn night, feeling his blood boiling all over his body.
This feeling of secretly controlling everything made him feel relaxed and happy.
And this night is destined to be full of blood.
In an instant, the city was ablaze, and the clanging sound of armor from all directions resounded throughout the city.
Only one person was heard shouting: "Lu Hu, do you dare to betray me? Today is the day you die!"
Then, rows of soldiers ran out of the alleys in the city.
The assassination turned into a confrontation between two armies.
Lu Hu stood up in a hurry, but Qin Xing took a long time to prepare.
"No, why is there fighting in the city?" Zhang Zhuer pointed to the fire not far away.
Under the firelight, the spears were intertwined like canine teeth.
In this situation, Yang Lue quickly realized that he had miscalculated, "No, Feng Fang must have informed Qin Xing in advance!"
From the standpoint of Liang Guo, Lukou only needs to maintain the status quo and delay it for a year or two. After Qingxu Yuyang is digested, he can send his troops northward. Even if he cannot defeat the Murong clan, he can still block the Yan army north of the Lutuo River.
From the standpoint of the Yan State, it doesn't matter who is the king of An, or even whether to surrender or not. As long as Lukou kills each other and its strength is greatly reduced, it will no longer be possible to resist the Yan army's southward march.
Yang Lue quickly understood the enemy's intentions.
"What should we do now?" Zhang Zhuer became impatient again.
Yang Lue took a deep breath, and the faint smell of blood flowed from his nostrils into his chest and lungs, reminding him of his past life on the run on Black Cloud Mountain.
"As long as Feng Yi doesn't come in person, we still have a chance of winning! The plan remains unchanged, you go after Feng Fang, and I'll persuade him to surrender!"
If Yigui is granted the title of Prime Minister, he will never appear here.
The enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. Yang Lue knows who his opponent is, but the opponent does not know his existence.
This is already a huge advantage.
Being able to confront the Prime Minister of the Yan State made Yang Lue's blood boil, and he and Yang Zhuer quickly disappeared into the night...
Many people couldn't sleep that night, and Lu Bo was one of them.
After Deng Huan died, the people of this army dispersed.
As a general who rose from the bottom, Lu Bozao didn't have much ambition. Deng Huan and Wang Wugui were princes of one party. Aren't the whole family wiped out with their heads missing?
"Your Majesty has given an order. General Lu has mobilized all his troops to quell the rebellion." A messenger came on horseback, his body covered in blood, with two arrows stuck in his back.
"Take your orders!" Lu Bo had already put on his armor, picked up his long knife, and strode out.
Outside the tent, five thousand men stood with spears in their hands, full of murderous intent.
This army was once the elite of Deng Huan's command. It had resisted the Yan army many times and was the core combat force of Lukou City. Therefore, Lu Bo had been able to severely injure Murong Chui long ago.
And once they join the battlefield, they will immediately decide the outcome of the city.
There were loud sounds of killing outside and flames rising into the sky, but there was silence in the camp.
Every soldier is like a stone statue, quietly waiting for military orders.
Lu Bo pressed the handle of the knife early, with a murderous look in his eyes. He was about to give the order to attack, but unexpectedly someone shouted in the dark: "General Lu, wait!"
The visitor was quickly captured by the soldiers.
"General Lu, King Liang has an order!"
When they heard that it was King Liang, the murderous look on the soldiers' faces became lighter. Without the food supplied by Yecheng, it would be difficult for them to survive until now.
Eaters are short-tongued and take advantage of others softly.
Most of the soldiers' ideas are very simple. They will remember whoever can keep them alive.
Lu Bozao's eyes flashed fiercely, and his thoughts were racing, and he knew that he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and if he made a wrong step, he would be doomed.
Really smart people are never those who show off and show off.
Glancing at the surrounding soldiers, I saw that after hearing King Liang's order, half of the murderous aura and evil spirit on their faces disappeared. Smart people naturally know how to obey people's hearts.
How could people like Qin Xing and Lu Hu be compared with King Liang? The choice is not difficult.
The current situation in Hebei means that the final outcome is either to surrender to Yan or to Liang. Self-reliance is impossible.
Lu Bo had already pulled out half of the long knife and sent it back, "Please!"
"Please!" the soldiers roared.
And the night passed quickly...
Two days later, Yecheng.
Qin Xing's head was placed in front of Li Yue.
"Lü Hu rebelled. Generals rose up. Qin Xing noticed that the two armies were fighting in the city. Lu Bo suddenly showed up and defected on the spot. Qin Xing was killed in formation. The rebellion at Lukou ended. All the generals elected Lu Hu as the leader. There were casualties before and after. More than three thousand." Zhang Shengye quickly read the message from Lukou.
"What are the movements of the Yan army?"
"Feng Yi led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to go south, but the Lukou rebellion had subsided. Lu Hu refused to open the city and killed Gao Chong who secretly responded. Feng Yi had no choice but to retreat."
Zhang Shengye put it simply. The various overt and covert struggles will never be so easy.
Li Yue had received Yang Lue's secret report in advance and knew more thrilling details. The opponent did everything possible to weaken Lu Kou.
Fortunately, Lu Koujun's heart is more towards him.
Yang Lue survived this test with great difficulty.
Although Lukou was not in his hands, Li Yue's influence had already penetrated it.
"Lü Hu went to the title of King An and asked himself to be the General of the Conquest of the East and the Governor of Jizhou." Cui Hong said after reading Lu Hu's memorial.
Li Yue said: "He is using retreat as an advance to test our minds."
Lu Hu has been elected as King An, and he will definitely not let go easily. Otherwise, why would he go to such trouble to rebel?
Cui Hong asked: "How do you reply, Your Highness?"
"A county king is boring. Let's make him King Boling, allow him to establish a country, appoint hundreds of officials, and build a palace!"
Boling was a feudal state in the Western Jin Dynasty. As long as Lu Hu did not surrender to the Murong family, it didn't matter if he was granted the title.
There are too many people calling themselves kings and emperors these days, and he is not the least of them.
Cui Hong smiled slightly, naturally not entangled in this, "How can Lu Bo reward him?"
Lu Bo had already been crucial in this mutiny. From Yang Lue's secret report, it is not difficult to see that he was leaning towards his side.
"It is not appropriate to award the reward publicly, so as not to arouse Lu Hu's jealousy and make Yang Luoduo win over him."
"Wei." Cui Hong wrote the edict three times, five times and two times.
Li Yue picked up the jade seal and covered it...
