"really?"

Lu Yao's voice was not sharp, but both Zhu Sheng and Pang Yuan clearly felt the huge emotional fluctuations hidden under the calmness. There was no doubt that even for General Pingbei, who held a powerful general and looked at the Central Plains, the news was too shocking.

Perhaps the heavy felt tent blocks were isolated from the circulation of air, making the tent a little stuffy, like a strong cloud covering the sun, and there must be a storm brewing. Pang Yuan felt the sweat dripping from his forehead slowly flowing to his eyebrows, and then seeped into his eye sockets from between his eyebrows. He subconsciously wanted to wipe it, and raised his hand slightly, and the iron blades of the light armor rubbed against each other, making a tiny collision sound. He stopped his movements immediately, and quietly lowered his arms with a ten-fold slower movement.

"I have questioned Zhang Wu repeatedly." Zhu Sheng couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, and said with his head down: "Although Zhang Wu is not a serious family, he is an old brother from Funiu Village. He has always been reliable and is definitely not a nonsense person... In addition, he was brought with him with several shogunate officials. The seals and documents they carried with him were very fine, and they probably didn't get it forged..."

Lu Yao raised his hand slightly and stopped Zhu Sheng's subsequent words: "Where is that person? Have you ever questioned him?"

"That person..." Zhu Sheng looked puzzled: "Lord, that person has a noble status, I really..."

Lu Yao suddenly sneered. He leaned forward and looked down at Zhu Sheng and said, "Zhang Wu beat and kidnapped His Highness, King Donghai, and he was quite brave; and you... don't even dare to ask a few questions?"

Zhu Sheng didn't dare to look up, but just raised his eyes slightly, and saw Lu Yao's right hand veins on the table showing, which showed that he was shocked and angry to the point where he could not stop, and he used great power.

With a thud, Zhu Sheng also hit the ground with his other knee. He said tremblingly: "Lord!"

Lu Yao suddenly left the table and rose up. Zhu Sheng almost thought he was about to be kicked over, but Lu Yao paced around the tent, and in the blink of an eye, he beat him back and forth several times.

"Forget it! You can't blame you, it's really... it's really..." Lu Yao didn't know how to organize the words for a moment. He took a deep breath, took a deep breath, and then he calmed down again after a long time, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Zhang Wuhe...that person now?"

"The subordinates placed it in the headquarters camp and ordered the surrounding area to be cleared within a hundred steps and were suspended."

Lu Yao nodded slightly and took off the sword from his waist: "Pang Yuan!"

"The last one will be there."

"You hold my sword and take the 200th horseback rider to take over. A double post and double whistle will be set up in a hundred steps... No, add another double manpower. Unless I have my handwritten handwriting, no one is allowed to enter or leave. If a person trespasses, use this sword to kill him!"

"Pang Yuan understands that even a fly will not let it fly over!"

Pang Yuan held the sword solemnly and left when he was about to take the order, but was called back by Lu Yao.

"At this moment, the army is full of rough people from the army and has never had contact with the center. I am not convenient for me to go there in person... I think about it carefully. Only Lu Jun and Zhu Sheng who have seen the face of King Donghai should be the only one who has seen him. You can secretly lead him to see him and then come back to report me immediately... and bring Zhang Wu together."

Zhu Sheng and Pang Yuan looked at each other and knew that although Lu Yao could not go in person, he would have to investigate the matter no matter what. He dared not be negligent at the moment, so he respectfully agreed.

The second general stepped out quickly, and the door of the tent fell, and the wind brought out blew out several candles in the tent. However, Lu Yao did not summon his subordinates to come in and light the candles, but just sat upright in the tent, listening to the sound of iron hooves on the ground and the clanging sound of armor outside, causing thunder.

, gradually fade away.

The military camp was originally strictly prohibited from galloping horses, but this matter was so important that it should not be delayed at all. Even if the sound of the riding team spreading far away in the quiet night, it would be irrelevant.

The camps were all slightly turbulent wherever the cavalry passed by. Experienced soldiers knew that this must mean that there was an extremely important and urgent situation. Several teams that had not yet returned to the camp quickly avoided the side of the road and gave way to the cavalry. Some people poked their heads out of the tent and looked in the direction of the commander's tent. After a moment, the scolding of the officers restraining their subordinates came faintly, and the camps were quiet again.

After a long time, Lu Yao commanded the battle during the day and could not be slackened at all. Even though he was extremely energetic, he had been waiting for a long time and finally felt a little sleepy.

In a trance, I seemed to hear the sound of the war drum horn coming from a very distant place; then, countless soldiers seemed to suddenly appear below the horizon, and formed a square array after another. Between the square array, tens of millions of cavalrymen ran back and forth, raising the smoke and dust in the sky. Above the square array, like swords, guns, swords and halberds raised high above the square array, shining with cold light in the smoke and dust, like a huge beast like a mountain, with scales and armor rising and falling.

The rapid footsteps outside the commander's tent rang out again.

The next moment, Lu Yao saw the bloodthirsty and twisted faces in the square formation. The beards with disheveled hair shouted words that were not understood, pressing step by step, stepping on the blood that was flooded to their ankles, and squeezing the spear straight in front of him.

Lu Yao yelled loudly: "Welcome to the enemy! Come with me! Welcome the enemy!" When he looked back, he found that the figures of his subordinates disappeared one by one. First, the Bingzhou military robes led by Xue Tong and Shen Jin, followed by the Jizhou soldiers led by Liu Xia, and the New Affiliated subordinates of the Daidi Land, including Tulinus... As Lu Yao saw, their disappearance was getting faster and faster, and even scribes like Shao Xu disappeared one by one.

Lu Yaoyou was stunned and frightened. He reached out to pull the disappeared people, but they actually showed a hesitant look and waved their hands away! At the same time, more and more Hu warriors rushed forward step by step, and countless people surrounded Lu Yao heavily, holding up the weapons shining with cold light high...

"Lord." Someone outside the commander's tent reported softly, awakening Lu Yaomuran.

He subconsciously reached out to hold the long sword on his waist, but he didn't expect it but grabbed the empty hand... His heart almost stopped for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before he truly woke up, remembering that the sword had been handed over to Pang Yuan.

The person outside the tent waited for a while, and when Lu Yao did not respond, he raised his voice a little, and replied, "Lord!"

Lu Yao slightly smoothed his robe soaked in cold sweat, and stood up and sat upright: "Come in!"

The tent was lifted up. Lu Jun came in first. His face was strangely white, his cheeks were bright red, and he felt strangely excited.

Then came in. Zhang Wu, whose hands were tied tightly behind him and his back was covered with thorns. As soon as he entered the tent, he fell to the ground and walked to the desk without saying anything.

The last one to come in was Zhu Sheng. He silently put up the tent and stood beside Zhang Wu.

"How is it?" Lu Yao asked in a stable tone. He glanced at the three people in front of him and said, "Daoyan, you can talk first."

Lu Jun bowed and said loudly: "Congratulations to brother. His Highness Donghai, you are indeed in the hands of your brother!"

"Well...congratulations, it's too early." Lu Yao nodded and frowned and looked at the next person: "Zhang Wu, I remember letting you in the Central Plains

I inquire about the situation, but I never ordered you to hijack the royal nobles... What is the situation in Juancheng? How did you do this big thing? Let me listen."

This was said very seriously. Zhang Wu might have been awakened and was not panicked. He kowtowed heavily and said slowly: "Report to General, two days ago, a group of Shile bandits suddenly blocked Juancheng. After the defeat of the King of East China Shogunate, his morale was low. So in shock, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians collapsed instantly. His subordinates escaped with some alertness and were about to come to report quickly, but they were hitting the King of East China and his group in the white dragon fish suit..."

"The shogunate was defeated so miserably? Can't even maintain the basic escorts?" Lu Yao asked.

Zhang Wu smiled bitterly and said, "That's even... it can't be said to be defeated. The bandits did not attack Juancheng at all. They just retreated afterwards, and never appeared again. The shogunate army was completely scared and scattered. However, the troops fought for the road, killing and trampling on each other, and there were various riots and rebellion, causing the soldiers and civilians to be killed and injured... The King of Donghai had no kindness in his military management. At this time, he was afraid that his personal army would also be rioted, so he did not dare to lead the brigade to escape, so he disguised himself and went in separate ways with his personal camp. The result was ridiculous. They abandoned their minions and thought they could escape without knowing it. Unexpectedly, they had not encountered a riot on the road, but they were only robbed of a group of mobs in the city."

"After escaping from the city, I met you again."

Zhang Wu sighed: "General, my subordinates didn't know that they were the King of Donghai and their entourage, so they just thought they were fleeing officials. But their words were very arrogant and hateful, so they were angry for a moment..."

"It's OK." Lu Yao sighed and stopped Zhang Wu's statement: "You go back first. You have made great mistakes in this trip, but you have made some minor achievements... I will issue your treatment in the future. There is no need to blame yourself for too much at the moment."

Zhu Sheng led Zhang Wu out of the tent.

Lu Jun walked forward with a happy look: "Brother!"

"The situation described by Zhang Wu is consistent with the information found by our scouts. The King of East China Sea shogunate was so collapsed, but the bandits showed no sign of chasing the north. It is really not easy for these jackals to let go of the big fat meat at their mouths... Perhaps, Shi Le did not intend to get entangled in the chaos in the Central Plains, as you said?" Lu Yao thought carefully and said, "Well, it was a surprise that he could master the King of East China Sea so easily."

Unlike Zhang Wu who was frightened, Lu Yao did not take the blow that King Donghai suffered seriously from beginning to end. In the midst of chaos, countless people lost their lives and filled the ravines. After a mere fight, Lu Yao had a hundred explanations that could be provided to King Donghai. What he was planning was just how to make the most of the collapse of the shogunate.

"The question is, is Shi Le really so easy?" A rare opportunity is right in front of me, but for some reason, Lu Yao always feels a little uneasy in his heart.

"No matter what Shi Le's intentions, our army is ready to fight at the worst. The most urgent task is to use the King of Donghai to order the troops to gather the scattered soldiers and bravely roaming the shogunate as soon as possible to enrich himself." Lu Jun pondered for a moment and continued: "For the specific strategy, I will not dare to make any decisions about the matter of the Northern Military Palace. But in my foolish opinion, before deciding on all kinds of practical means, I must temporarily hide it from the people of Jizhou... lest there be any accidents."

Lu Yao frowned, still thinking about the situation of the battle. Listening to Lu Jun's words, he casually pulled down a piece of dead branches and threw them out of the field: "That's what it should be."
