Chapter 142: Rift

Lu Xi's decision was undoubtedly inspiring, and Cao Shen easily captured Lu County without a single soldier. When the banner of Pei County was planted in the city tower of Lu County, the fact that Lu County was included in Liu Yuan's bag was quickly passed back by scouts from all over the country.

When the people in Lu County saw Pei Jun's entry into the city, they were also sincerely frightened and uneasy. Fortunately, Peijun's military discipline has always been strict, so there has been no disturbance to the people. At this time, Lu County had been sealed down, and there were big bulls sitting on top of the city tower, and the Qin army who surrendered to Cheng was ordered by Cao Shen to unload their armor and return home. As for how to arrange Lu Xi, Cao Shen ordered someone to return to Pei County and report the matter here to Liu Yuan in detail. Before the order of his lord arrived, Cao Shen only asked Lu Xi to appease the people and count the various reserves of Lu County.

What made Cao Shen's heart surging was that Lu County had abundant reserves of all kinds of materials, rice, grain, bronze and even blades, which were enough for him to consume more than 1,000 people.

And after Lu County changed hands, Lu Ze's 500 Pei army also arrived in Wuyuan. However, the county Cheng of Wuyuan was very stylish, and he personally led the Qin army to resist to the death, until the last person fell, and the county Cheng committed suicide with lamentation.

Lu Ze's Pei army also suffered nearly 200 casualties in this siege battle, which shows the courage of the Wuyuan Qin army. It's a pity that there is not enough time left for this county to prepare, otherwise, Lu Ze's casualties will increase.

After Lu County and Wuyuan started, Liu Yuan did not rush to continue to attack other county seats, but ordered all armies to rest and recuperate for the time being. Liu Yuan was also pleased by the surrender of Lu County Cheng, and he immediately ordered Cao Shen to order this Lu Xi to continue to serve as Lu County Cheng.

And Fu Jie, the county commander of Lu County, who was far outside Xiangxian County, had also received the news that Liu Yuan had sent troops to Lu County, and he was also anxious about the Wuyuan County Order. At this time, in the big tent of the coalition army, Fu Jie was pacing around in distress, he never expected that Liu Yuan would have such courage and would send troops to Lu County.

After a while, the Wuyuan County Commander and others also entered the big tent one after another, and the Wuyuan County Commander said urgently: "Fu County Order, you and I are in danger, let's quickly withdraw our troops and rush to help."

"Yes, this Liu Yuan is treacherous, I'm afraid that the county will also be used by him." Other prefectural ordinances also echoed. Originally, their formation of a coalition was not stable, and at this time, Liu Yuan was exerting pressure behind them, and these county orders all had plans to withdraw their troops for their own interests.

Fu Jie's depression in his heart can be imagined, they came in a mighty way, defeated the county guard outside Xiangxian in one fell swoop, and besieged Xiangxian for many days. But just when this spirit was high, his backyard caught fire. Hearing everyone's words, Fu Jie also took the opportunity to say: "Okay, the county guard Chen Tong is not afraid, I will immediately lead the troops back and annihilate these traitors."

When discussing how to retreat, the guards outside the tent suddenly broke in, and when they saw the solemnity and panic of the guards, everyone's hearts sank. "Yu County Order, Lu County Cheng has surrendered to the traitors, and Wuyuan has also been captured."

"What?" The county magistrates in the tent were stunned one by one, especially Fu Jie and Wuyuan county magistrates, without the county seat, they were like duckweed. The county magistrates in other counties were not in the mood to gloat, but some rabbits and foxes were sad.

"Lucy actually surrendered?" Fu Jie never thought that his henchmen would betray him so easily. Compared with the death of Wuyuan County Cheng, Fu Jie's face was hot, as if he had been slapped by someone, and his face was lost by Lu Xi. "I'm angry, this Lushi, I'm going to kill him."

"Pay the county order, it's useless to talk more, let's return as soon as possible." Wuyuan County Commander urged.

"Quick, give the order to withdraw the troops." Fu Jie nodded and nodded angrily.

The coalition forces moved quickly, and the entire battalion was emptied. Chen Tong, the county guard, also received the news of Fu Jie and the others' withdrawal, he stood on top of the city tower and whispered suspiciously: "What happened to Fu Jie and the others in a hurry?" Xiangxian County was closed for many days, and Chen Tong did not know the news of Liu Yuan's troops. "Go and order someone to go out of the city to investigate!"

Fu Jie's withdrawal and Liu Yuan's capture can be imagined that another big war is imminent. During this period of time, people were surprised to find that the big and small wars were inseparable from Liu Yuan's shadow. Gradually, Liu Yuan's influence is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many big clans are considering whether to take refuge in the latter.

After Ergou, who had been outside Xiangxian County, learned that Fu Jie and others had withdrawn, he also immediately ordered someone to send the news back to Peixian, and he also asked the people in the outer hall to pay attention to the whereabouts of Fu Jie and others at all times, so that Fu Jie's coalition forces were all under Liu Yuan's monitoring.

After receiving the news of Ergou, Liu Yuan immediately ordered someone to go to Wuyuan. After Lu Ze received the order, on the one hand, he hurriedly asked people to transport Wuyuan's money, grain, bronze, blades and other materials back to Pei County, and on the other hand, he led his troops to withdraw from Wuyuan.

Liu Yuan's sudden abandonment of Wuyuan County also made many people puzzled, but in this way, the whole pressure fell on the shoulders of Cao Shen in Lu County. Can Cao Shen resist the counterattack of the entire coalition army?

On the way back, Fu Jie also found out the news of Wuyuan's withdrawal, which made Wuyuan County Commander breathe a sigh of relief. Fu Jie was even more gloomy, this Liu Yuan did not withdraw his troops from Lu County, obviously he didn't care about him at all, he felt that he was slapped in the face by Liu Yuan again.

"Go, follow me to Lu County! Hmph, I heard that Cao Shen and Da Niu are the tiger generals under Liu Yuan's account, and I, Fu Jie, want to let this Liu Yuan be cocooned and bound to himself. Fu Jie's killing intent soared.

"Lord, do you really not support Lu County?" In Peixian County, Liu Fang said worriedly.

"I have my own plan for this!" Liu Yuan said with a smile, he patted Liu Fang's shoulder, signaling that the latter didn't need to be too nervous. "Lu Ze has withdrawn his troops from Wuyuan, and he has sent an order to go straight to Wuxian."

"No!" Liu Fang was ordered to leave.

Outside Lu County, Fu Jie had already led his troops to the city, and when he saw that the city tower of Lu County was full of Peijun's banners, Fu Jie was furious. The two armies were fighting, and they were mortal enemies, so needless to say, Fu Jie directly ordered the siege of the city.

Cao Shen and Da Niu immediately ordered the archers to counterattack, in the face of the siege of the coalition army, Cao Shen had already planned and prepared, and when the Qin army reached the bottom of the city tower, a pot of boiling oil was splashed down, and these Qin troops were defenseless and were immediately splashed with boiling oil. The Qin army wailed in pain, and then the rolling stones and giant trees followed, and the Qin army's offensive suddenly collapsed.

The siege of the city was fruitless, Fu Jie was furious, but before he could organize a second entry into the palace, the news that Lu Ze sent troops to Wuxian came again. The county order of Wuxian County was in a hurry, how could he still have the heart to stay here, and he panicked and wanted to gather his army to go to Wuxian County for defense.

Not only the county order of Wuxian, but other people were also frightened, Liu Yuan could take the opportunity to go to Wuxian, and he could also go to them. This psychological concern intensified, and cracks arose within the coalition forces.
