"Ma Qushuai, every word of mine is true!"

Lu Cheng only thought that Ma Yuan's surname was Ma, otherwise why was he called a bandit, and Qu Shuai was the name of the Qianghu lord in the northwest.

"If you don't believe it, and send someone to Sanshui County (Xiamaguan Town, Tongxin County, Ningxia) to inquire, my brother Wen Bo is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and no one in the local area knows it, no one knows it!"

Lu Cheng is only twenty this year, and he especially remembers that ten years ago, his second brother Lu Fang became silent and sullen after his father died. Later, Lu Fang went to the county town, and after coming back, he became very energetic, and pulled the eldest Lu Yu and the third Lu Cheng to the cowshed, and told the secret that his family was a clan member of the Han family! also said that his real name is Liu Wenbo!

The eldest Lu Yu was stunned, settled in the Han and Hu mixed houses, his ancestors had the blood of the Hun Hun evil king, and he had never married the Han family, he exclaimed at the time: "My family is the royal family of the Han family, why don't I know?" ”

Lu Fang Zhenzhen said: "Because I am worried that leaking out will cause retribution, not to mention that now the big Han are dead." This matter was only passed on among the heads of the family of the past generations, and my father only told me when he was dying. ”

Lu Cheng has always been the second brother's follower, he believes whatever he says.

Since then, Lu Fang has begun to tell this secret to the people of Zuogu Township, Sanshui County.

In recent years, the news has been blocked, let alone a poor and remote place like Sanshui? Qiang Hu didn't even speak Chinese, and the locals knew Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, knew that he had a prince killed, and knew about General Huo, but the rest didn't know anything. Lu Fang's story sounded like it was all right, and she was confused.

But this rhetoric did not bring Lu Fang any benefit at first, ten years ago, the new room was first established, and no one missed the big man at that time.

But things slowly changed, and as Wang Mang made a lot of tricks, from the common people to the stable vassal Qiang Hu Guiyi who had been cut off their positions, they all felt that their own interests were damaged. Coupled with the war between the imperial court and the Xiongnu, the border people were burdened with forced labor and impermanent taxes, and in the past two years, the trend of nostalgia for the previous dynasty has gradually risen.

"It's better to be a former man."

Lu Fang took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, and the identity of this "Han clan relative" became popular, and won the support of many people. The Lu family was originally just Zuogu Lihao, and his power was similar to that of the Fifth Lun family, but gradually he had the prestige of the county hao. In addition, Lu Fang had some martial arts, and recruited light heroes, poor farmers, and Qianghu herdsmen, and in just a few years, he gathered three hundred horsemen, and his power expanded to the entire Zuogu Township.

Lu Cheng was satisfied, but Lu Fang had greater ambitions.

"Since my family is a Han family, I should take the revival of the Han Dynasty as my own responsibility!"

This is a rebellion and a murderous act, although his family has expanded suddenly, but compared with the sixteen Haoqiang families of Longyou headed by the Tianshui Kui clan, the gap is far away. The Kui family and others disliked Lu Fang's shallowness, as well as the Hu bloodline, and they didn't like to take him to play, Lu Fang's story couldn't deceive people at all if he was out of a stable vassal country.

So Lu Fang thought of the method of "reviving the Han Dynasty", which was actually to borrow troops from the Xiongnu!

"My family is a descendant of the son of heaven of the Han family and the queen of the Huns, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu is also a relative, and now the Han Dynasty has been usurped by Wang Mang, relying on the foreign Xiongnu Shan Yu to restore the country, it is natural!"

So at the beginning of the year, Lu Fang let Lu Yu secretly go out of the fortress and established contact with the king of the Xiongnu Julin. At the same time, he was recuperating in Zuogu, and when he heard about the Kwantung chaos at the beginning of summer, Lu Fang couldn't help but want to do something, but he only encountered the arrival of General Tunhu's soldiers, and he didn't dare to move.

Lu Fang is not in a hurry, anyway, the new army is more brutal to the people than the Xiongnu, the more they toss around the border, the more people who take refuge in themselves, only frequently inquire about the news of the new army, and send people to inform the Xiongnu outside the Saiwai.

At this moment, he was shocked to hear that there was a "bandit" in the middle reaches of the Kushui River who attacked the official army food team under the banner of Tianxingdao. Lu Fang was quite excited, feeling that he was a fellow believer, so he sent his younger brother to explore the Dao to see if he could incorporate the small forces of Ma Yuan and Wan Xuan.

After rambling on his family history for a long time, after Ma Yuan interrupted him impatiently, Lu Cheng made his intentions clear: "My family is adjacent to Maqushuai, there was a small misunderstanding last year, there was a conflict, I live in the upper reaches of the Kushui River, Jun lives in the middle reaches, bounded by Qiligou, and do not communicate with each other. “

"Now I know that I don't know each other if I don't fight, it turns out that we all hate the new room!"

Although they are located in the same river, there is still a distance of 200 miles between the mountains and rivers between the two sides. It wasn't until today that he got online, and Lu Fang still thought that Ma Yuan was an ordinary bandit, and sent his brother to deal with it with his own set of words.

Ma Yuan and Wan Xuan looked at each other: "You mean, that Liu Wenbo, want to join forces with us?" ”

"Not bad!"

Lu Fang thought that Ma Yuan, the old hat, was illiterate, and he didn't write a letter, so he only asked Lu Cheng to present a gift, but it was a good palace lamp, and he didn't know how to get it. Ma Yuan did not refuse, and when he played there, he only asked casually: "How do you want to cooperate?" ”

Lu Cheng was full of pride: "Qu Shuai and my family joined forces to go north along the Kushui River and burned down the granary between the rivers!" ”

Isn't that the fifth Lun settled? What is this going to do, Ma Yuan stopped playing with the lights: "And then? ”

Lu Cheng said as a matter of course: "Burn all its grain and grass and disrupt the rear of the new army!" ”

Wan Xuan frowned, no, although Wu Lun wanted to kill a few soldiers who were in a lot of blood debts, the food that should be sent to General Tunhu's camp was still collected and distributed.

Ma Yuan smiled: "What good will it do us to mess up the new army?" ”

Lu Cheng hesitated a little, but after Ma Yuan sneered a few words, thinking that he was not sincere enough, he smiled and said: "As long as the new army is in chaos, the Xiongnu will be able to drive straight into the Yellow River to meet us if they take the opportunity to defeat General Tunhu." ”

"At that time, the Xiongnu will support my brother Wenbo to inherit the temple of the Great Han Dynasty, from the new Qinzhong in the north to Anding County in the south, it will become the land of the Han Dynasty, and when the world is recovered, you two, can you still lose the title of prince?"

……

When Wu Lun arrived at the agreed place to meet Ma Yuan and Wan Xuan the next night, the story of Lu Cheng became a joke by the campfire.

"Hahaha, there are such people in the world."

Fifth Lun also knew that there was such a strange family so close to him, relying on the deception of pretending to be a member of the Han family, he pulled up a team, and it seems that the new room is really lost.

The more he listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he only asked, "Then where is Lu Cheng now?" ”

Ma Yuan pointed at Wan Yu and said, "I was almost beheaded by Jun You on the spot!" ”

Wan Xuan was a little embarrassed: "Then Lu Fang gathered people to resist the officials and soldiers of the new room, it's nothing, but he actually wants to lead the Hu people into the blockade, but he should never be." ”

"At the beginning, we agreed that the internal struggle is the internal struggle, and the external war is the external war, which is a big right and wrong, and after Boyu explained it clearly, Wan Xuan can still distinguish it."

"It's a pity that there aren't many people who understand like Jun You." Ma Yuan sighed: "I heard that Liu Wenbo is quite popular in Sanshui, and has won the support of many people. ”

So after talking for a long time, what happened to Lu Cheng? Dead alive.

"I've locked it up." Ma Yuan didn't think about what to do with him.

"Keep it closed, he's of great use!" Fifth Lun breathed a sigh of relief, he was really sleepy and came to the pillow, the worry of General Han Wei of Tunhu was right, it turned out that there were really Huns in the subject country of Anding, although he had not had time to launch it.

Fifth Lun immediately informed the two of the new situation they were facing.

"Dong Xi, who killed and abused the people the most along the way, was sent south by General Tunhu to suppress the 'thieves', and he was about to arrive in Tewu in the near future. After he settled in with more than 1,000 people, it was not up to me to decide on Tewu County. ”

"I'm worried that he won't come." Wan Yu was not afraid: "Boyu, do you want us to rob and kill him on the road like you behead?" ”

Ma Yuan groaned: "The pawn is not as brave as a pig, and he still has some combat power." ”

After the last battle, the more than 100 horsemen under their command were also stragglers, and they also abused and envied the pawns.

Although the fifth Lun has organized more than 1,000 people, the training time of Zhu Tu Yong is still short, and it is difficult to rely on it, and it is impossible for him to fight back and forth with Ma Yuan, so he has to do the opposite, which is not a good time.

Therefore, not to mention taking the initiative to touch Dong Xi, now Ma Yuan and Wan Yu have to quickly leave Baitugang with their subordinates and move into the mountains to avoid its edge. Not to mention anything else in the northwest, it is a big place, and it is difficult to find immortals when you drill into the ravine.

Fifth Lun's original plan was to let Ma Yuan and Wan Xuan lure Dong Xi into pursuit, slowly destroy the enemy by fighting guerrillas in the mountains, and look for an opportunity to kill Dong Xi, but this meant that Ma Yuan's troops would have great losses.

Fortunately, there is now a better response.

"What's the trick for Boyu?" Ma Yuan saw that Wu Lun didn't speak for a long time, so there must be a countermeasure.

"Since Dong Xi and Lu Fang are not good people, it is better to ......"

Fifth Lun picked up a stone on the ground and slammed it on another: "Drive the tiger and devour the wolf!" ”

……

After the three of them combined, they felt that if Wu Lun directly captured Lu Cheng to offer, it would be a bit deliberate, and it might arouse the suspicion of his boss.

So according to Wu Lun's plan, after Dong Xi went south, he would work with Zhang Chun to encourage him to quickly enter the mountains to suppress the thieves. Then "coincidentally" found Lu Cheng who was thrown there in the empty Baitugang, and found that behind the "bandits", there were actually three Lu brothers who conspired to collude with the Huns and restore the Han family!

In this way, all the weirdness makes sense.

If General Tunhu, who is loyal to Daxin, knows about this matter, then what kind of bandits are he exterminating, he will definitely directly dispatch troops and join Anding County to jointly attack the Sanshui rebels.

And in the process of Dong Xi going deep into Sanshui along the Kushui River, three or four hundred miles along the way, the team will definitely be very scattered, and the fifth Lun, who is the envy of the auxiliary soldiers, and the horse aid and Wan Xuan hidden in the mountains have a chance to start.

But the plan can't catch up with the changes, Wu Lun expected everything, but he didn't expect it, this "tiger" didn't listen to his instigation, and Dong Xi's heart was not on the bandits at all.

The first thing Dong Xi did after leading his troops to Tewu County was to let Wu Lun get out of the canal barrier.

General Tunhu wants the fifth Lun to listen to Dong Xi's dispatch, can he still openly disobey the order? I could only leave with the pigs and the brave people, but fortunately, the fifth Lun had already transported the grain in the granary to the north of the county for 3,000 stones, and also tampered with the account books, leaving only Dong Xi for a month to eat.

It's okay if there is not enough food, Dong Xike has his own way, or let the rich donate grain.

"You also know that our troops have been stationed in the north for two months, and they are very tired from the wind and sun, and they are hungry and thirsty on the road, so they must rest for a month, and then train for another month before they can send troops.

This rhetoric is the same as when Wu Lun wanted to "raise his own respect" earlier, it seems that Dong Xi rarely returned to the anointed land from the deserted barrier, and he didn't want to move the land when he came, what kind of bandits, and raise them! Drag it out for two or three months, slaughter the fat sheep in this county, and then go into the mountains to fight a dozen, and then pretend that the bandits are going back, continue to drag, drag until winter, and you can spend the New Year in this good place, isn't it more fragrant than going to Hun Huai to eat sand!

And for those who persuaded themselves three times and twice to suppress the bandits quickly, Dong Xi was also an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and he did something with his backhand that made Wu Lun and Zhang Chun stunned!

Wu Gong, whose son was kidnapped by the bandits, cried and went to the barrier to ask Dong Xi for help, hoping that he could quickly enter the crackdown and save his son back.

Unexpectedly, after Dong Xi confirmed with others that the Wu family had millions of dollars and thousands of stones of grain, he turned his face on the spot, drew his knife and scolded: "You old thief, why do the bandits rob your family if they let others not rob them!" It was clearly in collusion with the thieves inside and outside, first saying that Ruzi was taken away to clear the suspicion, but in fact he was sent to the thief camp to communicate the news, so as to instigate Ben Sima to enter the mountain and be attacked and killed by bandits. ”

Then he arrested Wu Gong, and after a night of torture, Wu Gong couldn't hold it and confessed "truthfully".

Dong Xi proudly announced: "The Wu clan colluded with the bandits, the evidence is conclusive, they copied the Wu house, and all of them were returned to the public, and then this old man was punished and reported to General Tunhu, and it was said that he had caught a big traitor and won a big victory!" ”

After this horse, who would dare to persuade him to enter the mountain? Dong Xi is not leaving.

Even Wu Lun had no choice but to flatter idealistically: "Dong Sima is worthy of the surname Dong, and he has a good eye to recognize treachery!" ”

But at night, when the fifth Lun contacted Ma Yuan and Wan Xuan again, he only said: "The strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf is available, but before that, ......"

"Dong Xi must die!"
