?A sound arrow cut through the night sky and made a unique scream. It was heard around. The people in Xiyang City hid at home and shivered. They heard footsteps from time to time on the streets. No one dared to open the door or open the window to check because everyone knew something was wrong. ▲∴,

Since the newly appointed Yuwen envoy rectified the accumulated corruption and strictly implemented the curfew, Xiyang City was silent at night. Except for urgent matters such as fires, and emergency medical treatment, there was no one else on the street except patrol team. In this way, the thief who committed crimes everywhere while night was gone, he thought he would live peacefully like this, but he didn't expect that the good life would be over soon.

Tonight, the ineffective curfew, the movements of the people walking around, and the faint fires and shouts everywhere, anyone knows that something is wrong, and the target of the thief's attack is probably the mansion of the Yuwen Envoy.

What a good official, he's gone...

At the intersection, several carts were crossing the road. Dozens of men were staring at him with weapons, bows and arrows. A middle-aged man in armor was sitting on a bed and warming up a bonfire in front of a bonfire. A man holding an umbrella to block the snow for him.

"Master Lang, did you want me to wait for reinforcements just now?"

"It's okay, this is the Lord Tian's call for someone else. He asked two arrows to be released in succession to call us over." The middle-aged man said indifferently while gnawing on the chicken legs. He placed a porcelain jar next to him with a hot chicken soup. Seeing a young man beside him, he waved with a smile:

"Come on, Tian Sanro also eats some. It's so uncomfortable to blow the cold wind on New Year's Eve."

When the young man heard this, he smiled and shook his head to indicate no. When he saw the middle-aged man with confidence, he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Li, do you think the person surnamed Yang will come here?"

The middle-aged man's surname is Li Fang, who is one of the backstages of usury in the city. The young man is the third son of the military leader Tian Yuansheng, known as Tian Sanlang. Tonight, several major players who were "bullying" by the governor Yuwen Wen in Xiyang City joined forces to attack. Li Fang's mission is to lead his troops to guard this intersection and intercept the state soldiers and prevent the other party from reinforceing Yuwen Wen's mansion.

"This intersection is the only way to get to Yuwen Wen from the military camp. It is said that you must come over, but..." Li Fang bought a silence after saying that, and saw Tian Sanlang looking at him and then said, "The military yard is on fire. Those poor people are rushing to put out the fire, so how could they come to save people by following the command of Yang?"

Tian Sanlang said that the newly appointed Yang Jizhijun had strictly controlled the state soldiers in just over a month. In addition, Yuwen Wen pretended to be a god and made a fortune by making some white turtle offering treasures to save the debts of the state soldiers. These poor people were probably good at following the rules and working hard for the other party.

He led his troops here to guard the street intersection with Li Fang on orders to prevent anyone from passing by and saving Yuwen Wen from then on. The two families had more than a hundred people together and were under the obstacles formed by pushing a cart. As expected, the state soldiers who had to pass here would definitely have to pass through this place.

In theory, there is no need to worry, but Tian Sanlang always feels uneasy. He is afraid that the soldiers of the state will drink the '** medicine' that Yang Ji pours, and obey the command and rush up to fight for their lives.

"Sanlangjun. The human heart is the most difficult to say." Li Fang said with a smile, as if he was not worried about this at all. "For human beings, saving lives is the most important thing. What kind of kindness and morality are the second.

"These poor people were not obedient to Ling Zun before? Now they have come to have thicker thighs and naturally have to hug them, but the thighs are about to be finished, so what is going on is not easy?"

"Ling Zun ordered people to set fire everywhere in the city to disturb people's hearts and let everyone know that something big is happening. Yuwen Wen was trapped in the mansion and could not get out of life and death. The morale of the people and horses he arranged in the city was unstable, and where could they fight together?"

"For example, in order to prevent the warehouse from being burned, the defenders of the granary and the arsenal were naturally closed and did not go out to prevent people from setting fires. The defenders of the west gate and the north gate were entangled by the Tian family and did not dare to adjust their defenses easily. The defenders of the east gate did not dare to act rashly when they saw the military camp outside the city being surrounded. The remaining soldiers led by Yang Ji thought in their hearts that their relatives in the yard were in the mood to fight for their lives."

"Even if those poor people are rude to follow Yang Ji here, as long as we are strictly guarding and then say that we will only be against Yu Wen Wen and his minions and others. Humph, it would be great if Yang Ji was not beheaded on the spot as a letter of fame anyway."

"No one would have thought that Chen Jun from Jiangnan would enter the city. The situation has been settled, so don't worry." After Li Fang said that, he took a sip of chicken soup to moisten his throat. Tian Sanlang's expression was a little slow when he heard this. He knew that these plans were just the first time he had experienced a big event, so he was a little nervous.

"It's just like that if you pay off your debts or not. It's the most important thing to save your life when things are about to come. This person's heart is the hardest to say."

As soon as Li Fang finished speaking, he saw the shadows swaying on the dark street in front of him. As if many people were running towards him. Seeing this, Tian Sanlang was excited and quickly let Li Fang look over.

"It's really here, Sanlangjun, this time I am the uncle, let you know what the human heart is!" Li Fang sneered, and he pulled out his sword and shouted: "Be careful, prepare to shoot the arrow!"

......

On the outskirts of the east side of the city, the Lu clan soldiers were surrounding the camp gate. They used their large shields to bring in many stones and throw them on the ground outside the camp gate, in order to prevent the opponent's cavalry from rushing out to support Xiyang City.

The uprising tonight, all the forces involved have division of labor. Some are responsible for setting fires, some are responsible for feint attacks, some are responsible for receiving the Chen army in the south of the Yangtze River, while their Lu family is responsible for entangling the soldiers in the military camp in front of them.

So far, things are going well, the soldiers in the barracks have not rushed out and the obstacles they have set up are increasing. To be fair, they cannot stop them if the other party takes a gamble.

A clan soldier was pulling a tripping rope to the side with a large shield. Just as he focused on pulling the rope, his head was slightly out, and he heard the sound of breaking through the air. Then a crossbow arrow was inserted into the door, and he fell to the ground and no longer had a breath.

"Be careful, be careful!" An older man shouted in a low voice. The crossbowman in the military camp was somehow in his mind, even if he fired arrows at night, he was the same as in the sun. At this distance, they saw that the walls of the military camp were already blurry, but the other party was like a night owl. His companions would be shot as long as they showed their heads.

Fortunately, these soldiers were huddled in the military camp and did not come out. It was good for the clan soldiers to waste so much. Without having to fight each other, they would be able to finish their work and go home after the situation in the city was settled.

A hundred steps away from the west side of the military camp, a young man was looking into the distance and looking at the military camp. Beside him was a scholar and more than a dozen strong men.

"What's the point, sir?" asked the young man. He was Lu Xiuping, the son of Lu Rongjia, the leader of the Lu clan who participated in the uprising, and was also the next leader of the Lu clan.

"They seemed to rush out without intention, as if they were waiting for something." The scribe said, and he frowned when he looked at the military camp. The performance of these soldiers under Yuwen Wen's command made people a little uneasy.

There were already fires in Xiyang City, and two arrows were sounded just now. According to Lu Ping, only the second arrow was the signal of our own side. Then the first arrow should be the signal of the Bazhou Governor Yuwen Wen.

The other party must have been signaling people elsewhere to take action. He and Lu Xiupingyuan thought they were going to summon the military camp garrison to enter the city for reinforcements, so they ordered the soldiers to prepare to try their best to stop them, but the military camp gate was still closed and there was no intention of rushing out.

"Could it be that Yuwen Wento called the soldiers in the city, or had already controlled the situation?" said a middle-aged man. He was Lu Rongfa, the leader of the clan soldier sent by the clan leader Lu Rongjia to the Lu Xiuping town. This time, the young and middle-aged clan were recruited to fight. He was afraid that someone would not obey Lu Xiuping's command, so he helped him to suppress the formation.

"This is impossible. King Shixing led thousands of war soldiers across the river and into the city, and Yuwen Wen could not resist it." Lu Xiuping denied that he had planned this game for a long time and could not have any mistakes.

Chen Shuling, the King of Shixing of Chen, not only set a large piece of land for them, Lu family also made a wish for officials. Not only did he and his father and other elders also received official positions, but only in this way, the Lu family would help them.

The ancestor's foundation that had been passed down for hundreds of years is not to be abandoned. If Yuwen Wen had not been aggressive, they would not want to jump over the wall. The other party "ignites" to eliminate the accumulated problems as soon as they took office. The Lu clan members have many disputes with the surrounding people on weekdays, which can be said to be full of flaws. If Yuwen Wen can "judgment the case like a god" and "make decisions for the people", then the Lu clan will be knocked down sooner or later.

The case of Tian Yilong, son of Tian Sect Nagata Sohira, was turned up again as a knife to deal with Tian. Once Tian was finished, it was their turn to Lu. If he didn't fight back at this point, he would be a fool.

Yuwen Wen thought that he could force Tian to play hard to get, but he didn't expect that he was already playing with fire. He thought that visiting Lu's family to say something good to him would be laughable if he saw him die.

"Mr. Lang, could it be that Yuwen Wen found out that King Shixing had abnormal movements and was prepared for it?"

"This...it's impossible. The fine works he sent to Jiangnan were caught as soon as he got ashore." Lu Xiuping sneered, "The family members of the fine works were found clearly. In this way, they threatened that the fine works were all said nothing abnormal after being put back. How could Yuwen Wen know the real situation?"

"The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. It is unlikely that there will be any problem, but this military camp..." The scribe murmured to himself. Lu Xiuping was also a little confused. For him, everything was as expected by him as the progress of the matter was a bit strange.

After thinking for a while, he smiled: "It's okay, even if it's the worst plan, I, Lu, wouldn't have much loss."

As the saying goes, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit. The Bahe City occupied by the Lu family has its own dock and ships on the north bank of the Yangtze River. On weekdays, no one can stop him from traveling between the north and south of the Yangtze River, the Bazhou Prefecture Office turned a blind eye because they could not control it at all. It was precisely through this convenience that they had transferred part of the family's property to the new Jiangnan site.

If things are done tonight, everything will be fine. If they fail, they can immediately retreat to Bahe City and then take a boat to cross the south to leave Yuwen Wen an empty city. Anyway, the territory assigned to them by King Shixing Chen Shuling has already had a land deed, which is a foregone conclusion. This will not be a big loss.

The scribe suddenly said that the other party had reinforcements, so the soldiers in the military camp did not attack and attracted our troops to surround him. Lu Xiuping disagreed and said that it was impossible that he thought that Yuwen Wen's biggest reliance was where the more than 2,000 soldiers stationed in the military camp came from reinforcements.

"The Hengzhou, which is closest to Bazhou, is nearly a hundred miles away from here. How could the soldiers from Biancheng County and Yiyang County be useless? "After saying that, Lu Xiuping looked at Xiyang City in the distance and showed contempt.

"Yuwen Wen is still complacent if he thinks he is falling into my trap. What kind of judgment is like a god? It's just a silver-like gun tip!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Rongfa, who was standing next to him, suddenly looked north in shock. Seeing this, Lu Xiuping was a little strange and looked north. He saw that there was a darkness in the wilderness, and the moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, and there was no way to see what was in the darkness.

A gust of north wind blew, and Lu Xiuping's nose smelled a faint smell and then his face changed drastically: he was very familiar with the smell of horses, and more than one horse.

There is no horse in the wilderness for no reason. The only answer is that there is cavalry in the north. The cavalry cannot be our own because the only riders of the Lu family are behind Lu Xiuping.

It is impossible that the cavalry garrisons in the military camp have been monitored by the sentry as they began to monitor this morning. So are these cavalrymen still in the military camp?

"There are ambushers in the north, hurry up, set up the formation!" Lu Rongfa shouted loudly. He had already noticed that something was wrong and immediately commanded the defense.

As soon as the words finished, the loud trumpet sounded in the north like a thunder hitting the hearts of the Lu clan soldiers. Before everyone could come back to their senses, they heard the sound of horse hooves ringing densely and many tall figures rushed south in the wilderness.

"You, protect your husband and retreat!" Lu Rongfa ordered the surrounding guards, and the reinforcements from the other side rushed over. In any case, the first thing was to keep his nephew Lu Xiuping, who was also the young sect leader.

When Lu Xiuping heard this, he was so angry that he widened his eyes as the chief general that he was scared away by the cavalry that came from a mere attack. There were also a large number of soldiers here. If he escaped, he would have defeated the entire army.

"My husband, go quickly, we have fallen into a trap! Don't stay here for a long time!" The scribe said anxiously. He changed his previous calm appearance and pulled up the other person's arm without hesitation.

Lu Rongfa was so anxious that he was sweating when he saw Lu Xiuping's donkey coming up and refused to leave. He had experienced many knowledgeable people when he heard the movement. He knew that the opponent had a large number of cavalry. Now that the opponent dared to come to the battlefield, the military camp was ready to go, it seemed that he would start. If he didn't leave at this time, he would really not be able to leave.

"Mr., things are not going well!"

As soon as the words fell, the dark clouds dissipated. The bright moonlight shone in the wilderness, illuminating their figures and the figures of the attackers. Hundreds of cavalry were rushing towards Lu Xiuping in the snow, less than two hundred steps away.

Under the moonlight, a large flag fluttered with the huge "Zhou" on it, which was very conspicuous. Jiangbei was the territory of Zhou State, so it was not surprising that the Zhou army was attacking. However, when Lu Rongfa saw the Zhou flag, his face turned pale as if he saw a ghost.

At that moment, he recalled the miserable situation of the Lu clan being trampled by iron cavalry that year, and the unforgettable mourning of the entire city of Bahe City.
