PS: Today's second update! I heard that rainy days are more compatible with doubles!

Lu Wenhuan stood silently in front of his brother's bed.

The sky is a little dark, and Xiangyang has a clear sky these days, but Lu Wenhuan's heart is always pressed with a cloud. He knew very well that he did not play any role in the strange assassination of Ye Yingwu in Fancheng, but the charge fell on his head involuntarily. This is clearly Ye Yingwu trying to frame himself by all means.

But there is no room for defense, and his suspicion is too great. People all over the world are more willing to believe in Ye Yuanjun, who decided to fight Xiangyang, and they don't care what he, the person who has accepted defeat one after another, thinks. After all, in their opinion, this kind of sure thing does not need to be discussed too much.

Not only are there a lot of discussions in the streets and alleys of Xiangyang, but even the Xiangyang defenders who have always been under the control of the Lu family are also fluctuating, and Lu Wenhuan has been defeated in successive battles, which has dealt a severe blow to his prestige among the Xiangyang defenders.

Especially when they learned that their own pacification envoy sent assassins because they were jealous of Ye Yuanjun's merits, and Ye Envoy couldn't bear to turn his face with his colleagues and went to Yingzhou angrily, the gaze that looked at their own pacification envoy was not the same as before. Even some of the Lu family's cronies and generals began to wonder if they should seize the time to change sides.

After all, the tree fell and the macaques scattered, and if the big tree of the Lu family, which was no longer good for the shade, fell, they naturally had no good fruit to eat. However, if you can help when you bring down the Lu family in time, then you can atone for your sins. Not even anything anymore.

This bit of twists and turns in the officialdom, who of you is not like a mirror?

It is precisely because of the Lu family's cronies for so many years. Most of them are combined through interests and fame, so Lu Wenhuan is worried, after all, this is not like Ye Yingwu and Jiang Hao, who grew up together as iron buddies since childhood, and when the time comes, everyone will disperse, but no one will mind throwing a stone at the head of the Lu family.

However, what is surprising is that Lu Wenhuan did not jump like thunder as usual, but stayed in the Lu family's mansion and did not show up, making a posture of waiting for the court to surrender, but it made those dissatisfied soldiers have nothing to do. However, the imperial court is obviously very troubled about this matter. Even the rewards and rewards for the Battle of Xiangyang have not yet been implemented.

Lu Wende slowly opened his eyes, looked at his younger brother who was standing not far from him, and couldn't help but sigh softly, he also knew very well what kind of situation the Lu family was facing now, but Lu Wende knew better that no matter what explanation the Lu family made about this, it was very likely to be guided in an unfavorable direction, after all, from the current point of view. The Tianwu Army's control of public opinion has exceeded their expectations, and no one knows how these guys let the whole world know about this overnight. And with the continuous "deepening" in the past few days, it is more difficult to make the people who already have a good impression of Ye Yingwu realize the truth of the matter than to ascend to the sky.

Who would have expected. At the last moment of the Battle of Xiangyang, when everyone thought that the wind and waves had finally calmed down, Ye Yingwu was able to come up with such a stroke of genius, making the Lu family, who was originally standing outside the storm, suddenly become the center.

So by the means. I'm afraid that only people like Ye Yuanjun can get it. However, this Ye Yingwu is really ruthless to his own people. It is the joint letter of the officials of the state government from all over the country, and the people of the world are vying for the book of the people, this is the rhythm of not making a move, and once it is made, the Lu family will never recover.

"Little Liu, what are your plans now?" Lu Wende asked softly. This matter actually doesn't have much to do with him, after all, even if Lu Wenhuan falls and the Lu family falls, Lu Wende doesn't have much to do, after all, his achievements in fighting for the Great Song Dynasty for so many years are obvious to all, and now he is old, so how the Lu family tosses in Xiangyang actually has nothing to do with him, and although the defenders of Xiangyang hate Lu Wenhuan, they still support this old pacifier who once led them to the north and south.

Even if the imperial court wanted to take down Lu Wende, the Xiangyang ministries would not be willing.

Lu Wende himself is safe, but he will not watch his brother fall, nor will he watch the Lu family, which he has worked for for half his life, disappear, leaving only himself, a lonely old man.

Looking at the old man on the bed, Lu Wenhuan never felt that his brother was so thin, and his old and sick body was no longer able to withstand the greater wind and rain, so the old man leaned on the bed like this, quietly looking at his best little brother, I am afraid that only that pair of eyes can still flicker a terrifying gaze, which makes people recall that this old man actually tried his best to maintain the stormy mountains and rivers of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Lu Wenhuan finally made up his mind and spoke slowly: "Brother, what is the situation now, the younger brother has already seen it very clearly, and Jia Xianggong in the middle of the court has long been unwilling to watch our Lu family sit big, this time to be able to get rid of us with Ye Yingwu's hand, although it is not a small blow to him, but it is not an impossible choice." Brother, you have to see clearly, that Jia Xianggong can't save the Lu family. ”

"He can't save it, can you and I be able to save it?" Lu Wende's voice became weaker and weaker, but it revealed a disdainful coldness.

"We can't save it!" There was a flame of anger and hatred rising in Lu Wenhuan's eyes, "Ye Yingwu has forced the Lu family to a dead end in turn, this person's ruthlessness is really beyond the expectations of the younger brother, but the current Lu family is not his opponent at all, or it is already a live turtle in this Xiangyang City and this urn!" He Ye Yingwu wants to start when he wants, and he can start when he wants, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat. ”

Lu Wende looked at his angry younger brother, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Little Liu, do you think that your brother can't see clearly, this Ye Yingwu just seized a good opportunity to hurry up and fall into the well against us, but I'm afraid he didn't think of it himself." It is unexpectedly such a terrifying tide that will roll up and down in this Great Song Dynasty. But now this trend is finally controlled by him. The Lu family is already ・・・・・・ irretrievable. ”

He stepped forward sharply and grabbed Lu Wende's hand. Lu Wenhuan's voice became more and more beating: "Brother, Jia Xianggong can't save us, the Lu family can't save themselves, don't expect anything like Ye Yingwu and others to let go at this time, we only have one last choice left, the Lu family can't just disappear into the hands of you and me!" ”

Lu Wende looked at his excited younger brother in some surprise, but he didn't know who else in the world could save the Lu family at the end of the road, but then something came to his mind, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble fiercely. couldn't say a word, just looked straight at Lu Wenhuan, who was close at hand.

"Only the north, only the Mongols can save us!" Lu Wenhuan's voice was very low, with a strong killing intent.

Before the words fell, the door had been slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance walked in slowly, and before he could stand still, he first saluted Lu Wende, who was staring wide-eyed on the bed, and put his right hand on his chest. Bend down and salute!

Mongols, this is a real Mongol!

Lu Wende felt that all his thinking had disappeared, and almost subconsciously roared: "Lu Wenhuan, you are treason!" Come. Come! ”

Lu Wenhuan looked at his brother with some disappointment, his brother still poured half his life into this Great Song Dynasty, this Great Song who finally abandoned him, at the last moment. He is finally holding on to his dream.

It's just that no one responded to Lu Wende's somewhat weak call, and Lu Wende's face gradually turned pale. And a trace of sickly blush appeared, looking at Lu Wenhuan, who was close at hand and had a very hideous smile on his face. Whispered, "Why?" ”

Lu Wenhuan said coldly: "Why, do you still need someone to explain." The Lu family can be regarded as spilling blood for this Great Song Dynasty, but what did it get back in the end? Which of the people and officials in the world does not regard us as scum and people who must be killed, just these white-eyed wolves, who are no longer worthy of the loyalty of the Lu family. However, now that the north has suffered repeated setbacks, if the Lu family can join it, it will inevitably be courteous, and the family's prosperity will inevitably continue. ”

Without saying anything more, Lu Wende just glanced at the Mongolian who had not spoken a word since he walked into the room, and nodded slowly. Lu Wenhuan's face showed joy, and he immediately said: "Brother thinks what the younger brother said makes sense? ”

"Smack!" I don't know where the strength came from, the old man's palm slapped Lu Wenhuan's cheek fiercely, leaving a big red palm print, "Get out, the Lu family doesn't need scum like you!" Even if the sky abandons me, a certain Lu Wende is still loyal to this land, how can he say that he will surrender to the enemy! ”

Lu Wenhuan stretched out his hand and gently stroked his cheek, the hot pain, and the smile on his face finally dissipated, replaced by a strong killing intent: "Okay, good, you Lu Wende want to serve this precarious Great Song Dynasty?" Do you want to drag hundreds of people from the Lu family to bury you?! So-and-so will tell you the truth, none of the old and young in the family oppose So-and-so's opinion, you are not some bullshit Jinghu pacification ambassador now, but an old man who is powerless! A sick man who doesn't even live for two or three days without taking medicine! ”

Stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Wenhuan tremblingly, Lu Wende couldn't say a word. He has always been very serious about this younger brother, and he hasn't even beaten him much since he was a child, but now Lu Wenhuan has done such a rebellious thing, which is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Looking at the old man who was trembling with anger, Lu Wenhuan licked his lips: "Brother, do you know that if you want to kill you, you only need a knife in your hand and send it forward." Well, my brother should think about it carefully, and those old people in the north should still welcome my brother to go. ”

"The deceased?" Lu Wende smiled coldly, barely calming down his wildly beating heart, "It's Liu Quan's few beasts who are not as good as pigs and dogs, and they are not worthy of being an old man!" ”

Hearing Liu Quan's name, the Mongolian who had been standing behind Lu Wenhuan raised his head suddenly, but it was not the appearance of a Mongolian, but a typical face of a Han person in Jiangnan. It's just that I didn't expect that this Jiangnan Han person was already able to use Mongolian etiquette so skillfully and obediently. He gently stretched out his hand and patted Lu Wenhuan's arm.

Lu Wenhuan was a little reluctant and a little hesitant, but he still gritted his teeth and dodged to the side. And the Han man who had taken refuge in Mongolia strode forward. A cold light flashed in the sleeve of his coat, and then stabbed into Lu Wende's chest without hesitation!

Lu Wenhuan couldn't help but look back. Don't look at your brother's surprised and shocked gaze. Blood flowed out, staining the bedding red. And the Han man didn't wait for Lu Wende to speak again. With a sharp twist of the blade, the short knife had already shattered Lu Wende's heart.

Throwing the knife on the bed, he glanced at the old man who opened his mouth slightly and stared wide-eyed, obviously blind, and the Mongolian Han man who did it smiled coldly. It's really a difficult old immortal, but this knife can be regarded as revenge for those Luzhou brothers who were killed by you back then.

Immediately, he looked up at Lu Wenhuan, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, what kind of thoughts did such a person have in mind for his brother who raised him single-handedly. You're going to get him out? You must know that a few years ago, everyone in Luzhou was still a sworn enemy of swords, but now they have to fight side by side, no matter how you think about it, it is a little embarrassing and ironic.

But what the ruler told him to do has already been done. He said lightly: "When is General Lu going to leave?" ”

"Immediately, immediately!" Lu Wenhuan's voice trembled a little, and he didn't even dare to look back at his brother's body, "As long as you can escape to Tongchuan Mansion, everything is easy to say." ”

"Hmm." The man standing behind Lu Wenhuan hummed softly and wiped the blood stains on Lu Wende's hands with his sleeve.

――――――――――――――――――

With the input of the rear compartment of the town navy. The battle situation under Lianzhou City, which had always been unfavorable to the Song army, was finally slowly reversed, and at least the crucial camp gate was finally held. Under the suppression of the Song army's crossbowmen, the Mongol cavalry left thousands of corpses, but they could only return in vain.

However, along both sides of the wall. The Mongol cavalry did not hesitate to use cavalry to shoot at the Song crossbowmen in the camp. And the front compartment of the town navy is still difficult to move an inch, after all, those Mongolian infantry riders who did not rush into the camp have already embraced it, which makes Wang Huchen feel angry in his heart. But it is difficult to urge the children to move forward, even half a step.

On both sides of the wall, there are corpses of the town's navy and Mongolian infantry horses. And those densely scattered arrows. No one knows how much the two sides have paid in order to compete for this small camp in the north of Lianzhou City. But Zhang Shijie stood at the head of the city, but he saw it very clearly, this time, the town navy was afraid that it would be disabled!

But in other words, this is also a good thing, after all, the town navy is still the first time to go to the battlefield, so for them, war is the best way to baptize and eliminate, through the real tempering of blood and fire, they can leave the most suitable soldiers for war. This is the most brutal and effective way.

When all the rookies have become old birds, the purpose has been achieved.

However, looking at a famous soldier who was once alive and well roared and fell on the charging road, for Zhang Shijie, who had trained them with his own hands, it was still heartbreaking, but he couldn't do more, because the Mongolian cavalry still had thousands of people wandering around Lianzhou, and there were still many foot soldiers carrying ladders to block under the wall, no one knew if these people would suddenly attack Lianzhou, after all, Lianzhou was just a small city without a moat and urn city, and the city wall was low, and such a ladder was enough.

Now Zhang Shijie only has 2,000 Chinese troops and 3,000 Huai soldiers in his hands, and it is more than enough to hold Lianzhou, but he can't take it lightly.

Before Zhang Shijie could make up his mind to go out of the city or wait and see, the Mongolian cavalry that had been wandering suddenly began to accelerate, and the Mongolian cavalry in the formation of a command flag danced, and the sentinels of the order became more and more frequent, and the Mongolian cavalry around the front of the town navy skillfully broke free from the entanglement and rushed towards the city wall not far away.

A rain of arrows poured down from the walls, and the Mongol cavalry did not hesitate to gallop on horseback and bend their bows and arrows. The arrows of the Song army chased their war horses and roared, like chasing golden eagles on the grassland, but most of them could only land helplessly.

"Bed crossbow!" Startled by this sudden change, Zhang Shijie almost shouted these three words angrily. And the guards around him quickly rushed up with shields, so as to prevent his own capital from being shot by a few arrows coming from the air.

On the city wall, the Song army crossbowmen did not have time to dodge, and fell one by one, but there were still soldiers who did not hesitate to jump up, and several bed crossbows that had already been pulled apart made a muffled sound at the same time, and the thick arrows came out of the string and crashed into the Mongolian cavalry.

The Mongol cavalry moved their horses more and more quickly, and along the sides of the camp, the Mongol infantry had begun to retreat, although they were scattered, they could faintly see the order from it.

"Kill!" Wang Huchen waved his saber, and countless soldiers in the front compartment were like running bulls, chasing and killing the enemy who suddenly retreated.

And the Mongolian infantry at the gate of the wall, is also slowly retreating, and their robes outside the camp, they retreat more orderly, alternate cover, but after all, it is inevitable to be the left and rear compartment of the soldiers will be completely disrupted, if it is not for a Mongolian hundred-man team to insert in suddenly, blocking the impact of the Song army, I am afraid that the Mongolian infantry has been defeated.

Instead of wielding the saber they were born with like the other cavalrymen, a Mongolian warrior carried a blood-stained mace and smashed the helmets of several Song soldiers in succession, the mace stained with blood and white brains.

"Huaidu is here, who dares to step forward!" This Mongolian warrior rode his horse at the gate of the camp, and shouted violently, shaking the heavens and the earth. (To be continued.) )
