The importance of the area from Jianchun Gate to Jian'an Station can no longer be expressed in words.

Jianchun Gate is the last gate in Yecheng that is still in the hands of the Jin army, and Jian'an Station is the only stronghold that can be used to defend it, and the official road from Jianchun Gate to Jian'an Station is the last lifeline of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city.

And in the current situation, this lifeline seems to have turned into a noose, which is slowly tightened around the neck.

Standing on the high place of the city platform, you can clearly see the wilderness of the Pingchuan River outside the Jianchun Gate. In the field, the Kisang cavalry was storming the ranks of the beggars again and again, like packs of hungry wolves mercilessly pounced, tore and bitten, and dug pieces of flesh from their prey.

The beggar army was overwhelmed by the fierce attack, and they had lost their unified command and structure, and they were completely chaotic from top to bottom. In the few positions that were barely holding on to the enemy, there were rolling heads falling to the ground at every moment, and the angry blood that followed was like a spring in the ground, dyeing the air a terrible red. In the rear of the battle line, more soldiers ran aimlessly, and when the enemy's iron cavalry arrived, they easily slashed them one by one.

In this case, the general trend has passed. Unless they are blind, they will never expect the beggar army to last long.

What's even more terrifying is that with the beggar army outside the city being hit hard, the thieves of Shilesuo stationed on the southern wall platform have obviously shown signs of mobilization!

The people on the city platform shouted bitterly, and the soldiers were whispering continuously, and there was a faint commotion. If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers of the beggar army were strong after all, and the warriors brought by Lu Yao and Ding Miao to Wei County were the backbone, I was afraid that they would have scattered at this time and fled for their lives.

At this time, it is really an inch of time, whether it is fighting or defending or fleeing, it should be decided immediately. But their lord lined up the four of them, staring at the killing battlefield, and no one spoke.

Not far from the four of them, in addition to a few warriors from Bingzhou, there were also some grassroots officers of the beggar army. Most of them were already as pale as the earth, and the soldiers looked at each other and gestured, trying to push which one dared to urge. After going back and forth a few times, this task fell to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was a little embarrassed. Although this General Lu seems to be a good person, he is a general after all! What is the chief, do you dare to talk nonsense in front of General Yamen and Pingbei Sima? But the brothers on both sides of the robe grinned

Biting it, Jiang Li limped forward a few steps and bowed: "General, I'm afraid this situation is a little dangerous, aren't we ......?"

"Jiang Shichang, don't be impatient." Lu Yao suddenly reacted from his contemplation, smiled at Jiang Li easily, and then turned to Ding Miao and the others: "Brother Wen Hao, Lao Xue and Lao Shen, you see, the people I am waiting for are here." ”

"Lu Zhi?"

Everyone turned around together, and saw Lu Zhi and Lu Zidao hurrying side by side with He Yun.

"Daoming, when you fight for your life next, what's the use of calling this scholar?" Ding Miao asked honestly and unceremoniously.

Although Ding Miao is young, he is a fierce warrior who has experienced countless life-and-death battles, so he naturally has his unique vision and judgment.

According to the development of the situation, there is almost no suspense about the loss of Yecheng. If everyone doesn't want to be surrounded by thieves and die in Yecheng, they must immediately prepare to break through. And this will inevitably be an extremely dangerous operation, facing countless wolf-like thieves, dozens of people standing on the wall platform at this moment, I don't know how many people can see the sun tomorrow. Even with Ding Miao's bravery, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to get out of danger, let alone a half-old scholar like Lu Zhi.

After all, Ding Miao's status is different from others, and there is no need to scruple in conversation. His words were actually asking Lu Yao: In the current situation, it is still difficult to protect oneself, so why bother to find another burden?

Lu Yao smiled and stretched out his hand to Lu Zhi to ask: "Zi Daogong, what you said to me in the early hours of this morning can be told to everyone." ”

Lu Zhi was stunned. He looked at Lu Yao in disbelief, snorted heavily, pointed to the tragic battlefield outside the city wall, and said, "Look at this situation, do I need to say it?" ”

In just a few words, the situation of the beggar army became more unfavorable, and it was more one-sided slaughter than a battle. A person like Lu Zhi naturally knows what a dangerous situation this represents. Rao is a self-proclaimed resourceful man, and he also feels that the general trend has gone. At this time, everyone's lives were still like candles in the wind, and this Lu Daoming was still thinking about what he said?

Lu Zhi was reluctant, but Lu Yao raised his voice slightly, and said without refusal: "There is Lao Zidaogong." ”

And everyone thought it was incredible.

Shen Jin's temperament was the most anxious, and he was about to jump up and ask on the spot. But he suddenly remembered that when Jinyang was besieged a few months ago, he couldn't help but say a few more outrageous words, and in the end, although Lu Yao was lenient and did not deal with it, but later he didn't know that he was taught a hard lesson by Xue Tong, Deng Gang and others.

So Shen Jin forcibly held back his words, so that his whole face turned purple.

Ding Miao and Xue Tong have some city mansions, and they don't say much.

"Since Dao Mingxian's nephew is interested, what if the old man says it again?" Lu Zhi sighed and knelt on the ground upright: "That's a long way to say...... Lu was originally the mastermind of the king of Chengdu, successively served as the Taishou of Wei County and the general of Zuo, and was given the title of Marquis Wuqiang by the imperial court. His Royal Highness the King of Chengdu, whom the old man served, was once close to the supreme position in the chaotic court over the years. The king of Chengdu was a solemn and upright person, and when he was not yet in power, he publicly reprimanded Jia Mi, a powerful minister who was in power, and maintained the dignity of the prince. Daoming, this Jia Mi Jia Changyuan, you have seen it. On that day, Lu Shiheng, Lu Shilong and others were all among the twenty-four friends of the Golden Valley under the wing of Ah Jun......

Lu Yao bowed slightly, but Ding Miao was a little dissatisfied: "Lao'er, you can speak quickly, don't go off topic." ”

It turned out that among the so-called twenty-four friends of Jingu, there are also Liu Yueshi, the current history of Bingzhou, and his brother Liu Yu. That kind of behavior of clinging to the powerful now seems to be really inappropriate to publicize more, and Ding Miao can't listen to it at first.

Lu Zhi ignored the clamor of such a little hairy child: "His Royal Highness has a very good personality, and he has unreserved trust in me Lu Zidao. Ever since he became the general of Zhenbei and sat in Yecheng because he offended Jia Mi, Lu Mou gave him advice. For nearly ten years, the monarch and the minister have been like a fish in water, and they are very compatible. Even though the ancestor of Shu Han and the prime minister, it is nothing more than that. ”

A few years later, the king of Chengdu defeated his rivals and reached his power. Including Hebei, and Jingzhou, a total of 20 counties were sealed, and half of the world's elite soldiers were subordinate to it. At that time, Chengdu Wang Weisheng came, and the world was obedient. Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea who is now in power, is really far inferior to His Royal Highness. ”

However, Lu also knows very well: it is better to hold on to it; The truth that it cannot be kept for a long time. Although the ambitious cause of the king of Chengdu is thriving, out of consideration for emergencies, I have also made some arrangements for the situation to change in the future. One of them was to find a well-known horse thief in Hebei, and sent a number of loyal and elite subordinates to secretly join the horse thief's subordinates. In this way, although the strength of this horse thief has nothing to do with the king of Chengdu in the eyes of outsiders; In times of emergency, it is a strange force that can play a huge role. ”

What I didn't expect was that soon after, the king of Chengdu was in a high position for a long time and became more and more arrogant. Lu was gradually excluded from the circle of staff because of his unlikable words. The new ones used by the king of Chengdu include the clever eunuch Meng Jiu, and the overly famous Wu people Lu Ji and Lu Yun. ”

Lu Yao's expression darkened, although he was a junior disciple, he had to admit that Shiheng Gong and Shilong Gong were actually not the talents of generals who commanded soldiers and horses.

Lu Zhi continued: "Alas, there is no need to talk about what happened after that. In short, its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden. The king of Chengdu died in Yecheng, and the arrangements I made were naturally useless. It wasn't until last night that Lu was rescued by Daoming that he knew that the situation in Hebei had changed so drastically in the past year, and some things were really unexpected. ”

Speaking of this, the eyes of everyone around him almost widened, and they leaned down to listen. Lu Zhi sighed and said, "Everyone, it's not a secret, the thief Kou Jisang who is attacking Yecheng now is the strange army I secretly cultivated in the past. ”

Although the crowd listened to his previous words, they were somewhat mentally prepared; But I was still stunned.

Before he came back to his senses, he saw a figure flying over, pressing Lu Zhi under him and beating him indiscriminately: "Old horseman! Old thief! How many lives have you taken to our brothers! ”

Everyone looked at it intently, and only then did they recognize that the person was Jiang Li. As a member of the beggar army, he saw countless soldiers lost in the battle with the Jisang thief, but he knew that the Jisang thief was deliberately cultivated by Lu Zhi, so where could he not be angry.

It's just that the big think tank that used to plan the world, if he dies in a pawn today, he will inevitably have a nest in his hands. So everyone hurriedly dragged Jiang Li away.

"Zi Daogong, please continue." Lu Yao said lightly.

Lu Zhi had been beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but fortunately, they were all skin injuries and were fine. He gasped a few times before continuing:

"At that time, I personally selected and arranged for a total of fifteen people to devote themselves to Jisang's command in various names. These fifteen people are not well-known generals, but Wen Tao, Wu Strategy, and skills are all one in a hundred, and most of them are loyal people who have followed His Royal Highness for generations, and they are willing to work for His Royal Highness the King of Chengdu at any time. With their talents, they can easily become the leaders of the real power in the Jisang army. I agreed with them that if the great cause of the king of Chengdu was unhindered, they would be their own thieves, and they could plunder the north and south of the river to weaken the strength of the kings of Shandong. When the king of Chengdu ascends to the throne, he will naturally recruit him again. And if things don't get in harmony......"

Lu Zhi stretched out his finger and pointed to the four-sided white tiger banner that Lu Yao asked Ding Miao to take out from the secret room on the left side of Jianchun Gate: "If there is disharmony, then use the white tiger flags on all sides as a signal to kill Ji Sang, and obey the orders of the person who holds the white tiger flag!" What I said to General Lu is because of this, as long as you get the White Tiger Banner in your hand, you can recruit thousands of elites to kill Jisang and Shile with a flip of your palm! ”

Ding Miao, Xue Tong, and Shen Jin all exclaimed.

Shen Jin thought about it for a while, and suddenly said impatiently: "Old man Lu...... Zi Daogong! Why didn't you say it earlier? Look at it, look at it now, thieves are rampant so far, who are we holding this banner to? ”

"How did the old man know that Jisang was so fierce and the beggar army was so useless? Do you really think I'm an all-knowing immortal? Lu Zhi couldn't help but be angry: "I told your general a long time ago that I would like to help him." How can your generals harm public affairs with personal grudges, and if you delay so far, you will have no chance! ”

When Lu Yao was involved, everyone didn't have much to say.

Shen Jin had no choice but to stomp his feet and scolded: "Fuck, do you want us to just raise the white tiger banner and rush out of the city?" That's a send-off! ”

Suddenly, Lu Yao took a deep breath: "Why not?" ”

This sentence was not loud, but when it fell on everyone's ears, it was like a string of thunderbolts on the ground.

"General, what do you mean......" Xue Tong asked in amazement.

"Chu Kun, come!" Lu Yao beckoned.

It turned out that Chu Kun didn't know when he had climbed the city platform, and it seemed that he had been standing aside for some time.

"How's it going to do what you were ordered to do?"

Chu Kun bowed down and said, "General, thirty-six military horses have been collected and are waiting to be used at any time." In addition, I also told Captain Bo Sheng on the Jianchun Gate that if you have an order, he will get out of the way at any time and let us out of the city. ”

Lu Yao bowed his head and said: "It's not easy to collect horses, it's a little less than I thought, but it's enough." ”

Ding Miao may have felt something, and his eyes were about to glow: "Daoming! TD! TD! ”

Lu Yaojing walked over to the other side of the city platform, picked up a white tiger banner and tried the weight: "In addition to me, thirty-five people are needed." Ladies and gentlemen, who will go with me to take the head of Najisang? ”

Updates resumed on Monday, thank you for your support.

The name of this chapter is Shuangxiong, in fact, it does not refer to Lu Yao and Shi Le, but to Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, who are political opponents of each other and have coveted artifacts. Alas, in fact, two characters like this who have the courage to fight, each attract foreign forces, and finally ruin the fortunes of a dynasty are either two heroes or two bears.

Finally, I would like to thank Toad's Swan Dream, Ziyu Chenhua, Sandai and other friends for their support. After consulting the editor of this book, Master Binggue, there is still a considerable amount of time for this book to be put on the shelves, so the popularity can be said to be the only source of income. You're all good parents :)
