Chapter 257 Zhou’s Scheme
The battle ended quickly, and the counter-rebellion army, which had lost its leader, was defeated and fled.
When they learned that Luo Yiming had been killed by Song Xi, the whole of Longxi was shocked and panicked.
Especially the Duke of Lu, who was fighting against the Tatars, received more detailed information than others.
The red beetle Luo Yiming spit out before he died ran back to Xiliang, got into the mouth of a soldier, and restored the truth. Although it only repeated the conversation between Luo Yiming and Song Xi, it was enough for Lu Guogong to understand everything.
matter.
So the dramatic changes in the paddock that shocked the capital were really Song Xi’s handiwork!
The eldest prince and Prime Minister Guo indeed died in his hands!
This man had the guts to castrate the second prince, create chaos in the capital and lure Li Shijie out of the city gate, and then set a trap to wipe out the first chief of Zhou Dynasty and the three hundred cavalry, and fled to Qinxi without leaving any trace.
Established a huge force?!
The head coach of the Song Jiajun is Song Xi!
Qin Xi and Ping Liang have already fallen into his hands!
Duke Lu was a little unbelievable and couldn't accept the truth in his heart.
A mere yellow-haired kid with a broken family could achieve such an achievement in three years!
Which prince in the Zhou Dynasty could achieve such a level?
Song Xi is no different from a vassal king who dominates one side!
The Duke of Lu sat in the tent all night, his mind filled with all kinds of troubles and worries that made him unable to calm down.
At one moment he was jealous and indignant towards the Soong family's only seedling, and at another he was worried that the Song family's army would invade Longxi like this. He wrote one memorial after another, but no matter how he worded it, it could not meet his current urgent needs.
Throwing the wolf-hair brush aside, he slumped down on the armchair exhausted.
"Song Haocang is really lucky. He was able to give birth to such an outstanding son, bravely and strategically avenged his family, and conquered two provinces alone..."
"It's a pity that you can't see it anymore. You can't see how brave and skillful Song Xi is in conquering the northwest. You can't see how he disrupts the capital to avenge you. You can't see how I will kill your son so that you and your father can return home sooner."
Reunion on the road to hell!"
Duke Lu hummed a few times, and a trace of madness flashed in his bloodshot eyes.
The Song family and his son are really an eyesore.
In the past, the Marquis of Dingbei blocked his future, fighting with him and opposing him everywhere. The title of Wu Zhuangyuan was taken away by the Song family, and the military power in the northwest fell into the hands of the Song family. Although the title of Marquis of Dingbei was
He is not as noble as the Zhou family, but he is very prosperous both inside and outside the court!
After finally waiting for everyone in the Song family to be slaughtered, now a single seedling named Song Xi appears!
After taking control of Qinxi and conquering Pingliang, will he want to annex his Longxi next?
The Duke of Lu could not swallow this humiliation. The military power in the northwest should belong to him!
"My lord, something serious has happened!"
A scout rushed in in a panic, directly interrupting his chaotic thoughts.
Duke Lu glanced at the visitor with a sharp look, and asked in a deep tone: "What's the matter? If it's not an important matter, it will be dealt with according to military law!"
The scout shivered twice when he stared at him, swallowed his saliva and reported back: "The Song family army... has entered Longxi! It has captured Anhua Prefecture and Wujin Prefecture, and all the prefects and generals in the two prefectures have been killed... Guards
soldiers were also captured by them."
When the Duke of Lu heard this, he stood up and slapped the case, his face full of shock and anger.
"What's going on? Cheng Jun didn't guard the border?!"
The scout replied with a mournful face: "My lord, Commander Cheng Jun was killed in battle! He was killed by Dai Guansheng on the battlefield of Baohua Mansion three days ago! Now the deputy commander is leading the battle, but the situation is not good for us.
, the battle is more losing than winning... The Song family army is too terrible, I'm afraid we will..."
The Duke of Lu was so angry that he suddenly raised his legs and kicked him out!
The starving and emaciated scout could not withstand the blow and vomited blood on the spot and was seriously injured and died.
"Pull it down and deal with it!"
Damn things only make others more ambitious, and they bring such unlucky news as soon as they open their mouths!
Cheng Jun was also useless, and he died at the hands of Dai Guansheng.
The soldiers outside dragged the scout away, and several lieutenants and generals gathered around him.
"Master Guo, what should we do now? The war in Xiliang is tense. I'm afraid we won't be able to spare the troops to resist the Song family's attack. It's absolutely impossible to let him go like this. If he hits Xiliang, we will be attacked from both sides.
!”
"Yes! Moreover, Luo Yiming and Cheng Jun were killed one after another. The morale of the counter-rebellion army will probably be even lower. There is not much food and grass in Longxi. Whether they can survive until the end of the war is a big problem!"
"Why don't we ask Shu and the Three Jins to support us? After all, Song Xi's continued expansion of power will endanger their interests. At this time, everyone should unite to deal with the rebels and eliminate the rebellion in the northwest!"
"It's probably going to be a little difficult over there in Shu. Hua Yanghou is an old fox who can only get in and out. Whenever there's a fight, he wants to take advantage of it. Moreover, they only have one land bordering Qinxi, so I'm afraid they're not willing to take the trouble.
"
"Is it possible that he didn't know how to be afraid until Shuzi of the Song family occupied Longxi? We have a close relationship with Shu!"
Duke Lu raised his hand to stop everyone's argument.
"I will send letters to Shu and the Three Jins to ask for help. The capital must also send battle reports quickly. Even if the Holy Emperor does not send a few generals to support us, at least we must replenish our supplies of food and grass."
With that said, he picked up the langhao and quickly wrote a few secret letters, and also selected a few copies of the memorial he had originally prepared.
"Send someone to send it out as quickly as possible, don't delay the opportunity!"
"yes!"
The two lieutenants took the letters and walked out of the camp, but the remaining generals still had sad faces.
"Far water can't save the near fire, and I don't know if it's too late..."
The Song army's siege speed was too fast, and they captured two cities in just ten days. If this continues, it will probably affect the war situation in Xiliang. Don't wait until they finish defeating the Tatars, only to find that they have no place to stay.
The generals in the camp couldn't help but sigh. This was the first time they had encountered such a dead situation in many years of guarding the border.
I don’t dare to think about what the future will be like, I just hope that I can survive this catastrophe and save my life.
Compared to everyone who was anxious and frustrated, Duke Lu was much calmer.
He held the wolf hair in his hand and continued to write quickly, writing a thick letter eloquently.
After writing, he put on the wax seal, called two secret guards and ordered: "Send this secret letter to the frontline battlefield of Anhua Prefecture, and hand it to Song Xi personally."
The generals present were a little surprised and confused, and looked at each other and asked about his plan.
Duke Lu's expression was unpredictable, and his tone was also somewhat meaningful.
"The Song family has always been responsible for annihilating the Tatars and defending the border. His father and brother have also been committed to this. Song Xi can allow the Chief Envoy of Qinxi to provide me with food and grass, which shows that he also cares about the Song family's mission. In this case, I
