In the eighth year of Luhou Song, the third day of October, in the afternoon.

After Zhao Wuxian and Ji Sunsi appeared in front of everyone, with the help of the prestige and popular support accumulated by the Ji family over the years, half of the Ji family's private family members were anyway, and the people in the west of the city also responded to come to help. It didn't take long for the Lu people to form a semi-encirclement posture against the pawns of the Yang Tiger, and their morale was even higher.

The Meng clan also began to exert strength, Meng Sun He Ji personally pedaled the car and beat the drum, and Gong Yang (the father of the word) led the people of the servants to defeat the Fei Yi pawn who was not ruthless in Gongshan and drove him out of the city gate. Then he entered the battlefield at the crossroads from the Upper East Gate, intending to exterminate the Yang Tiger in one go, but he failed.

Although the people under Yang Hu have their own thoughts, the Yang clan dead soldiers he has cultivated for many years will not retreat, not to mention that he also holds Lu Hou and Shusun Zhou feud in his hands, which makes the Lu people a little jealous. As a result, the two forces were held in the south of the city, and neither could move forward half a step.

The sky gradually darkened, Zhao Wuxian stood on the west wall of the city, the Qufu in front of him was full of smoke and dust, there were some dazzling tongues of fire beating, and there were bursts of crying and howling in the wind, only the western area of the city controlled by the military guards was relatively peaceful.

"The battle in the city and alley is a long tug-of-war, and a solid rear is needed as a base to advance further along the road and dredge every corner like a house, so there is no hurry."

According to this line of thought, Zhao Wuxian ordered the military officials to stop attacking outward for the time being, and withdraw first to make food and rest.

His soldiers were not familiar with the terrain of Qufu in Lucheng, and if they rushed forward, they would only be divided by the enemy and broken by each other, and the front should be handed over to the Meng and Ji clans for a while.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian began to slow down the offensive and consolidate the defense after nightfall.

For less than a thousand soldiers, the west of Qufu City is still too big, and it is impossible to recover the soldiers if they are sprinkled in the alleys. Therefore, he did not dare to disperse his forces now, so he had to order Mucha and Yu Xi to try their best to gather his subordinates, and personally led more than 100 henchmen to patrol and try to extinguish the flames and riots everywhere.

After the hectic first half of the night, the military guards took full control of the west of the city. Stabilized order.

Mengsun He Ji and Ji Sun Si couldn't attack the south of the city for a long time, and they also knew the truth of long nights and dreams, so they sent Zifu He to the west of the city to meet Zhao Wuxian.

"The Yang Hu Yu Party has kidnapped the monarch and the Great Sima. Entrenched in the official office area in the south of the city and the inner city palace, now the soldiers are tired, and the people of the country see that the war has moved to the south of the city, so they have the intention of retreating home, and hope that the doctor can help the lord again. Extinguish this morning food. ”

This situation was expected by Zhao Wuxian, his original plan was to sit back and wait, if Yang Hu was defeated too easily, wouldn't the weight of him, a great hero of rebellion, be reduced by a few points?

However, Wuxian also has to pay attention to his appearance, just let Ji's Meng Shi touch a nail a little, if the Yang Tiger is not extinguished, he can't wait to open his mouth to add benefits, I'm afraid it will make people feel cold. If it is not guaranteed, it will give Yang Hu a chance to turn around, and it is not in line with his policy of "forbearance for the country" in his future planning.

Since he has made up his mind to help Sanhuan attack Yang Hu after analyzing the situation before, he must completely cripple it!

So when Zifu He came to ask for help. Zhao Wuxian immediately dispatched his soldiers to assemble, and when it was dawn, he was led by Zilu, Tian Ben, and Mu Xia, who were good at street fighting, and cooperated with the Meng clan to attack Yang Hu's pawn from the flank, and after meeting under the thorns, a decisive battle was held.

……

It was early in the morning of the fourth day of October.

Under the thorns in the south of Qufu City, the square with a length and width of up to 100 steps here is surrounded by thorn trees, which is named after this. Thorn was originally a place to hear lawsuits, and in the past, it should have been a disputed Qufulu people kneeling around. And the high-crowned and incomparably majestic Grand Priest took his subordinates to listen to the lawsuit in the center, but today this open land has become a bloody battlefield for the Lu brothers to kill each other.

Zhao Wuxian was afraid that the loss of the soldiers would be too great, so he personally commanded it. The front is carried by the soldiers of the Ji clan and the Meng clan, and his military guards are responsible for serving as the tip of the spear that penetrates its depth, and the private subordinates of the Shusun clan whose morale is low, as well as the countrymen who are coerced by the Yang Tiger, are basically crushed at the touch of a button.

But if the other party is an elite soldier of the Yang clan, when he can't move. Without mercy, he wisely let the soldiers retreat, and sent Lu archers and spearmen to throw and consume the enemy, waiting for the opportunity to go back when they were tired of dead and wounded.

As a result of the repeated tug-of-war, the soldiers paid for the death and wounding of thirty or forty people, and the Yang clan was finally defeated after leaving hundreds of corpses. Seeing that the situation was not good, the private family of the Shusun clan had already surrendered and fled, leaving only Yang Hu to retreat to the inner city with hundreds of parties.

"The enemy army retreated, retreated!"

A group of light riders ran along the north-south boulevard, starting with shirtless uniforms, their hooves stamping on the blood-soaked dirt road, splashing a little red mud. After seeing the invincible and invincible banner of the Zhao family in this battle, the rebels and light heroes who were originally chasing on the street were so frightened that they hid under the eaves of the street one after another, not daring to make a mistake.

Approaching the Inner City Palace, Zhao Wuxian looked around.

The old order in the city no longer exists, many areas are out of control, Sanhuan and Yang Hu have some rebels who have broken away from the large army, scattered everywhere, completely devoid of the organization, and some of them have begun to smash and loot everywhere.

Many houses in Lilu were spitting tongues of fire, and the whole street was filled with smoke, and it was impossible to see the situation a hundred steps away. Nearly 100 corpses of soldiers and wounded were scattered on the streets of the south of the city, where fierce fighting had just broken out, and no one paid attention to them for a while.

A feeling of helplessness and sadness surged in Zhao Wuxian's heart. A sentence in "Sang Rou" couldn't help but blurt out.

"The people are in good spirits, and they are in trouble!"

No matter what the purpose of the careerists is to quarrel in this capital, it is the people of Li who will be the culprit in the end.

After today, I don't know how many men died in the war, I don't know how many houses were reduced to ashes, and how many young people will be able to relieve the pain caused by this mutiny?

What makes Wuxian feel guilty is that he is also one of the driving forces.

His voice became cold and unusually cold: "Feng Rin! ”

"Yui!"

"The order went down, and ordered all the soldiers to immediately follow the guide sent by the Meng clan and start to rectify the order in the city. If there are rebels who loot and destroy the people, whether he is originally a rebel of the Yanghu Rebellion, or the Meng family, the Ji family, his uncle and grandson, or even my military pawn! As long as you see it, you will be severely punished, and those who resist can be killed on the spot! ”

Feng Rin was stunned for a moment, but still left as promised.

The horse's hooves continued to move forward, and they arrived at the foot of the wall of the Luguo Palace.

Zhao Wuxian has been here, and the inner city is lower than the outer wall, but it is also stronger and easier to defend.

The continuous battle has caused a lot of rubble to fall, and the Yang soldiers guarding it seem to know that the general trend is gone, and at this time they are like frightened birds. After seeing someone approaching, they all drew their bows and shot arrows, regardless of whether Zhao Wuxian and the others were still standing two hundred steps away on horseback, they couldn't shoot at all.

Zhao Wuxian ignored the arrows that fell dozens of steps away in front of him, and pointed at the inner city to Zilu and the others and said, "Yang Hu also controls the passage from the office to the outside of the city. Now the Ji clan and the Meng clan did not dare to attack, so they chose the method of encircling three and missing one, and they were also afraid that if they forced Yang Hu in a hurry, he would plot to kill Lu Hou and Da Sima. ”

After rectifying the order, Wu Xian's soldiers from the Ji and Meng clans rushed forward. He also arranged the defense of the south of the city, and let Zilu, who was in charge of Zhongyong, personally guard the treasury and the warehouse, and did not allow those rebellious soldiers to enter and rob.

"These equipment, materials, and grain are extremely important for tens of thousands of people in Lucheng to survive the winter, and I don't want to cause the people of Lucheng to starve for a winter because of this coup, so please leave this matter to Zilu!"

Having said that, Yang Hu still had a little conscience, or he was too flustered to make a move, and he didn't dare to burn these places to resist the enemy when he retreated.

"Zhong Yu dares to disobey!"

After a night of fierce fighting, Zilu did not show fatigue, and his body was as good as a twenty-year-old guy, not like a middle-aged man in his forties.

Zilu's reputation has been resounding throughout Lucheng. He forced back dozens of people by himself, and the deeds spread all over the army, and while Ji Sunsi specially thanked Zhao Wuxian for saving his life, he also thanked Zilu and asked his name.

"Confucius's disciple Zhongyou!"

In this regard, Zilu is extremely proud, and every time he introduces himself, he has to add the identity of Confucius's disciple, which is equivalent to making a name for his master, and at the same time, he is also grateful to Zhao Wuxian who gave him the opportunity to perform.

In the Battle of Thorns, he stabbed the Yang Tiger Party Gong Jiji, who risked his life to charge at Zhao Wuxian's Chinese army, with a sword!

Except for Yang Yue, who was captured by Zhao Wuxian. This is another important figure in the Yang Hu faction, which can be regarded as a great merit. Ji Sunsi had already muttered that he would ask the monarch for Zilu and confer his knighthood.

In this regard, Zhao Wuxian did not interfere with his face, but he sneered in his heart.

The Ji clan has been controlled by Yang Hu for the past few years. Many children of the clan have also become thieves, and the power of the clan has been transformed into Yang Hu's henchmen. Originally, there were many private dependents who suffered great losses in this mutiny, and the largest territory was still in the hands of Gongshan Budu.

Although he successfully won the support of the Chinese people at the critical juncture, Zhao Wuxian knew, Ji Sunsi knew, and Meng also knew. When faced with the choice of Ji or Yang Hu, the Chinese who hated Yang Hu's rule chose Ji. But if it is a different enemy, such as Meng Shi and Zhao Wuxian, once it is not one or the other, the Chinese people will choose neutrality.

Therefore, the current Ji is like a patient who has just recovered from a long illness, very weak. Not long after he got out, Ji Suns began to regain his strength and seek refuge. His attitude towards Zhao Wuxian is extremely close, and he is no longer an uncle and nephew, he is a younger brother, and he also has a heart to recruit Zilu who shows his talents, but Zhao Wuxian lied that Zilu was his retainer before, so the Ji family did not dare to blatantly promise a position.

Zilu didn't see so many ways, he thought to himself: "Doctor Zhao didn't treat me as a lowly person, he gave me the honor of pedaling, and then he didn't get angry because of my reckless offense, and gave me the opportunity to kill the enemy general at close range, this is the grace of knowing the occasion!" I must do what the doctor told me. ”

It's a pity, why didn't I meet such a lord when I was twenty years old? Zilu even had some envy in his heart for Ran Qiu and Gong Xichi, who had become Zhao Wuxian's retainers and had been entrusted with important tasks.

After all, the Lu people did not complete the expectation of extinguishing this morning eclipse, and when the battle to attack the inner city came to an end and the door was wide open, the time was close to evening.

Zhao Wuxian also participated in the attack with his soldiers, but this time he refused to let his men climb and fight, but supervised a large number of Meng and Ji's private subordinates to charge.

In this regard, the reason for Wu Xian is very sufficient: "My plan wiped out the Yuncheng soldiers with more than 1,000 people, saved Ji Da Situ, who was about to be killed, and contributed to the thorny battle that broke the pawn of Yang Hu." After doing so much, it was Ji's Meng's turn to fight hard. ”

Zhao Wuxian's words are reasonable, Ji Sunsi is grateful, he has no choice, Meng Sun is not cowardly, and he will not say anything more.

Only the "second meritorious minister" of today's coup, Yuyi Zaigong Yang was noncommittal, and after seeing the appearance of Meng Sun He Ji, he secretly pouted in anger, looked at Zhao Wuxian, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes! (To be continued.) )
