"General Wei, there is an order from the saint to order the general to lead the army on his back as soon as possible and go to the Tiger Prison Pass to meet the acting king (Wang Wan, the son of Wang Shiwei, the king of Chu)!" In Xingyang County, Xingyang, Wei Lu was checking the supplies in the camp, calculating how long it would take, and a small school rushed in.

"Are you leaving?" Wei Lu was a little reluctant, he was a veteran of Jianghuai, he had followed Wang Shichong since the tenth year of the great cause, fought in the south and the north, and never gave up.

Counting, he is also an old minister under Wang Shichong, although he is not as highly used as the children of the Wang family, but he is also the head of a county, and Wang Shichong is still quite generous to these veterans.

Wang Shichong's foundation today is the country that he Wei Lu followed all the way down, from the time when the Jiangnan rebellion was put down to now he really has his own foundation, which has many brothers died in the battle of Xingyang County, and he is even more reluctant than Wang Shichong Xingyang County.

However, since Wang Shichong didn't complain, he Wei Lu didn't have much to say, and it was not a bad thing to shrink his forces and defend Luoyang, at least he could keep the capital from losing

Over the years, following Wang Shichong, Wei Lu knew very well that Wang Shichong had paid a lot of price for this Luoyang, tens of thousands of Jianghuai troops were almost wiped out, and the rest have now become the backbone of the army.

Now, although Li Tang is making a big move, he believes that Wang Shichong will be able to persevere. Because Wang Shichong has never let them down.

"Move out all the grain, grass and baggage in the warehouse, take away everything that can be taken away, and burn all the things that can't be taken away, even if these things are burned, they won't be given to those people." Wei Lu put on his armor and snorted coldly.

"Whoa!"

Wei Lu brought his own soldiers to prepare to go out of the city, and went to the Tiger Prison Pass to meet Wang Wan, there are still more than 100 miles to go to the Tiger Prison Pass, and if you follow the light car, you should be able to arrive as soon as possible.

Just as Wei Lu was about to lead the army to leave, a captain hurriedly ran over, bowed down and said, "General, the gate of the city has been blocked with sundries!" ”

"Huh?" Wei Lu frowned: "Who dares to be so presumptuous?" ”

"It's the Zheng family, all the wheels of their grain team are broken, and they are blocking the city gate, blocking the way for our army."

"Hahaha!" Wei Lu couldn't help but sneer, the wheels were collectively broken? Tricksters this is.

What's even more incredible is that the wheels of the four gates are broken at the same time, how does this sound so funny?

"Since it's broken, then it's a fire!" Wei Lu has endured this family of bitches for many years, if it weren't for the rumors spread in Xingyang at both ends of their heads, how could Xingyang be homeless, and why would the saint give up this heavy land full of brothers' blood? If it weren't for their surrender, how could Shuyang and Xiangcheng be lost so quickly?

And now these people's behavior is even more disgusting, the saint wants to move the people into Luoyang to help defend the city, these people jump out and give porridge and grain everywhere, as if they are good people, attracting the people to stay, when their slaves and tenants, cattle and horses, why do you want to extort them early?

What's even more odious is to spread rumors everywhere, blaming Wang Shichong for natural and man-made disasters, Wei Lu has seen a lot of shameless people, but such shameless people, he has encountered them for the first time in his life.

Now that these people dare to come to make trouble and hinder the march, it is no wonder that he Wei Lu is not polite, he has no place to spread his anger, this Zheng family has come to the door by himself now, so he can't complain about his ruthlessness.

At that moment, a lieutenant was summoned and whispered a few words to him.

"General, this ...... This isn't quite right, right? The lieutenant was shocked when he heard this, and then rubbed his hands faintly excitedly. What kind of people bring out what kind of soldiers, and the soldiers brought out by Wei Lu are naturally not much different from Wei Lu.

"Shao Te's mother fills Lao Tzu with garlic!" Wei Lu whipped it lightly, and scolded with a smile: "The others go and wait in front of the city gate to see what these bastards of the Zheng family have to say." Haven't you long seen that these big families are not pleasing to the eye? Hurry up and do this ticket. If not, I'll replace you. ”

",,! I'm ......."

A group of people excitedly followed Wei Lu to the city gate, and when they reached the north gate, the city gate hole had been blocked by a monstrous fire.

Wei Lu was not in a hurry at all, so he led the troops to watch from the side, letting the fire continue to spread, and a group of family servants anxiously wanted to extinguish the fire, but the fire was too big, but where could it be extinguished.

"Wei Lu, why are you burning my goods!" Zheng Shanguo was furious in his heart, he was entrusted by others to delay one or two, so he thought of blocking the city gate with goods, so that Wei Lu could not get out of the city, who would have thought that Wei Lu, a stupid person, would directly let people set fire to it, this is half of his Zheng family's belongings, it was really burned, and his Zheng family was also going to be greatly injured, and when he saw Wei Lu coming over, he immediately scolded angrily.

"Ben Jiang heard that the city gate was blocked by debris, and since it was all useless debris, it could be burned, and everyone saved time and trouble." Wei Lu sat on the back of the horse and said lazily.

"Ridiculous, that's my Zheng family's property, how can it be a sundry, why don't you let people put out the fire soon!?" Zheng Shanguo scolded angrily.

"The general will only act under the orders of the saint, it is better for Mr. Zheng to go to Luoyang to find the order of the saint first, and the last general will be able to do things." Wei Lu leisurely watched the fire envelop the entire city gate cave, and said with a smile: "Besides, if you lose your items, you will definitely rely on us again." This kind of stupid thing, Lao Tzu is not fooled. ”

In the past, in order to win the heart of the family, Wang Shichong asked the local soldiers to have a good relationship, and the soldiers followed the instructions of their superiors to facilitate the family, and helped the family to carry out the cart in the mud many times, but the result was muddy, and he was falsely accused of theft, and his ass was beaten several times...... If he is free, he would rather help ordinary people every day, and sincerely thank him every word, which makes his heart warm.

Zheng Shanguo saw that Wei Lu didn't buy his account, so he was even more anxious, so he could only lower his posture and said: "General Wei, the city gate is blocked by the fire, and the people will be blocked, and the general is also going out of the city, so wouldn't it delay the military plane?" ”

"It's going to burn out soon, Ben will not be in a hurry at all, and it won't take much time to delay, and look at the fire, it's only an hour or two at most. You can't miss a big deal. Ben will have nothing but time now. Wei Lu said lazily.

"Wei Lu, don't deceive people too much!" Zheng Shanguo grabbed Wei Lu's horse reins and shouted: "If my Zheng family's goods are gone, don't say it's you, even Wang Shichong can't think about it!" ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Wei Lu sneered.

"General, a report from the direction of Xiangcheng said that the Tang army is assembling in Yangzhai." A scout rode outside the city gates, looking at him with a serious face.

"Mr. Zheng, you idiot, is it really time to be bad?" Wei Lu smiled disdainfully, turned his head to look at Zheng Shanguodao.

He knew that Zheng Guanyin, the daughter of the Zheng family, was Li Jiancheng's good di, and after the Wang family died of illness, she officially became Li Jiancheng's crown princess.

"Humph!" Zheng Shanguo darkened his face and snorted coldly: "As long as the general puts out the fire, he can help the general persuade the enemy to retreat." ”

Wei Lu looked at Zheng Shanguo and said triumphantly: "Mr. Zheng, Wei has little reading, and in the past, he was also a rough person, but since he sat in Xingyang, he has suffered a lot, and he has become smart all of a sudden, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"I'll tell Mr. Zheng. Li Tang tried his best to kill Xingyang, just to keep me here, so as not to have more strength in Luoyang. Will they quit the army because of your words? Are you thinking too highly of yourself, sir, or do you think I'm a fool? ”

Zheng Shanguo turned his head and said with a dark face: "I have my own plans, otherwise as soon as the fire stops, it will be time for the general to die." ”

"I'm really scared......" Wei Lu looked at his subordinates with a panicked face and said, "Tell me quickly, how many men and horses did the Tang Army send?" ”

"Back to the general, look at his lineup, I'm afraid there are no less than 20,000 people!" The scout outside replied.

Zheng Shanguo looked at Wei Lu proudly: "It's still too late for the general to wake up at this time, if he is willing to surrender, he can recommend one or two to the general." ”

"Pigs and dogs are not as good as old things!" The panicked look on Wei Lu's face disappeared, and he kicked Zheng Shanguo in the chest, directly kicking Zheng Shanguo out: "Old thing, you are still worried about yourself, I will fight in the south and the north with the saint, don't say 20,000, when Li Mi's hundreds of thousands of troops attacked, Lao Tzu never frowned, and 20,000 soldiers and horses wanted to scare me, but there was no door." ”

"Master of the family, something is wrong, look at it!" Zheng Shanguo wanted to say something, but a family member pointed in the direction of the city and shouted in horror.

Zheng Shanguo looked up, but saw a thick cloud of smoke rising from the city, and he could faintly see the flames flying.

That's Zheng's house!

Zheng Shanguo pounced on Wei Lu with a hideous face, and scolded sharply: "Dog thief, I fought with you!" ”

"Bang!"

Before Zheng Shanguo could touch Wei Lu, he was kicked out by a soldier. Wei Lu looked down at Zheng Shanguo and sneered: "Don't wronged good people, I'm here, how can I burn your house?" ”

"You must have instructed someone to do it." Zheng Shanguo said angrily.

"How do you know?" Wei Lu pointed to the burning city gate and said, "Just like I guess you let people block my way, I have no evidence, so I can't say that you did it on purpose; You say I burned your house for no reason, but what about your evidence? ”

"I ......" Zheng Shanguo was speechless for a moment.

"General, the fire is over, the old mansion of the Zheng family, after today, there will not be even slag left." At this moment, a lieutenant came out of an alley with dozens of soldiers, and from a distance, he said excitedly and loudly.

"Be quiet, and don't let people know I made you do it." Looking at Zheng Shanguo's cannibalistic gaze, Wei Lu scolded.

"Oh!" The soldiers glanced at Zheng Shanguo, came to Wei Lu casually, bowed down and said, "General Qiyu, the task has been successfully completed." ”

"Homecoming!" Wei Lu waved his hand, looked at Zheng Shanguo and said, "Mr. Zheng, don't mind, this money is something outside the body, and if you burn it, you will burn it." Actually, you should really thank me, at least Ben didn't kill you all over the house! ”

"I can have today's wisdom, all thanks to your Zheng family, I am grateful. Hehe, the Zheng family is really a scholarly family, and even the people who are calculated are calculated and smart. ”

"You ......" Zheng Shanguo couldn't see that the other party was playing tricks on himself, but it was like he was blocking the other party's retreat, and the other party had nothing to do with him, and at this moment the other party was telling himself in the same way, your family property was burned by me, and you still had nothing to do with me if you didn't have a certificate.

"You're ready to go!" Wei Lu looked at Zheng Shanguo and said.

Zheng Shanguo was furious: "What did you say? ”

"Ben will be in a good mood, let you get out, you will get out, dare to stare at me with those dog eyes again, I will rip it off!" Wei Lu looked at Zheng Shanguo coldly, and his eyes were full of murder.

Zheng Shanguo's heart froze, and he turned around with an ugly face and was about to leave.

"Will Ben let you go?" Wei Lu waved his hand, and suddenly two soldiers blocked Zheng Shanguo's retreat.

"What do you want?" Zheng Shanguo suddenly turned around and shouted.

"Ben is going to let you go!" Wei Lu leaned over and looked at Zheng Shanguo: "Why are you so stupid?" ”

"You ......" Zheng Shanguo was furious and said sharply: "You can kill but not humiliate!" ”

"Then kill!" As soon as Wei Lu waved his hand, the two soldiers pulled out the knives on their waists and were about to make a move.

"Wait!" Zheng Shanguo took a deep breath and said righteously: "I'll go, can't I get out......"
