After Governor Lu finished speaking, he turned his head and looked to the north again, how much he hoped to see the banner of Wang Shi immediately, the big word "Qi" was waving in the wind, and then it was the time for them to fight for their lives, but unfortunately Wang Shi had not arrived for a long time, could it be that something had happened?

"Lord Prefect, there is news that the emperor was attacked by the Zhang family, and now he has gone to Shunde, and Lord Cheng has brought many soldiers to rescue him, and I am afraid that he will not come for a while."

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Governor Lu's face gradually changed, didn't the Zhang family fight the enemy in northern Xinjiang? In the past two years, the emperor has a lot of trust in the Zhang family, how could the Zhang family sneak attack the holy car.

Governor Lu said: "Who said that?" Is there a message from the imperial court? ”

The subordinate shook his head.

Governor Lu snorted coldly: "Eighty percent of them are rumors from the rebels, just to shake our determination, don't listen to those." ”

The subordinate answered.

Governor Lu looked at the southeast army again, his eyes gradually understood, although he scolded his subordinates, but he knew in his heart that this was probably groundless, and the emperor had already planned the battle in the southeast, in just a few days, the king went south, and the momentum exuded by the court was to fight quickly, but now the southeast army has come to the city, but the court has not moved at all.

The emperor mistakenly believed the Zhang family, and attacking the southeast was probably also part of the Zhang family's plan, and the Lu prefect felt more and more terrible when he came here, the queen mother and the concubine were in control of the palace, and Zhang Yuchi in the north held heavy troops, if it was said that the thieves of the country, the Zhang family was more terrible than the southeast.

The emperor miscalculated, and now the emperor is most needed to stand up and cheer up the army, but now that the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, if the news is really spread, the whole Great Zhou will fall into chaos.

"Bring me the map." Governor Lu instructed his subordinates.

In fact, he has long kept the map in mind, and it is useless to look at it now, but he is in a predicament and wants to find a way to survive for the soldiers and the people.

Governor Lu was thinking about it, and Zhizhou quickly climbed the city tower.

"Lord Prefect," Zhizhou said in a low voice, "let's take a step to speak." ”

Seeing that Zhizhou's face was different, Governor Lu immediately followed to the side.

"I have a fellow from Beijing to send a message," Zhizhou said, "The capital is in chaos." ”

Governor Lu was stunned.

Zhizhou continued: "The Empress Dowager and the concubine have a son in their hands, who is the eldest son of the emperor, and the Zhang family wants to take this opportunity to help the new lord ascend the throne, and the emperor is trapped in Shunde, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to Beijing." ”

"The Zhang family is plotting rebellion," Governor Lu said, "Hundreds of thousands of Wang Shi will soon quell the civil strife." ”

Zhizhou had an unpredictable look on his face: "That's not necessarily, the capital has been occupied, if the emperor makes a mistake, the one in the capital will become the most likely person to inherit the throne."

When the Zhang family is in charge, all the people who are embarrassed by the Zhang family may not have any good results. ”

Governor Lu looked at Zhizhou with a deep face: "What do you mean?" Do you want to take refuge in the Zhang family? As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Lord Prefect," Zhizhou's face changed, "What do you think of me, I just told Lord Prefect about the current situation, we also have to be prepared, we are waiting for Master Wang here, I'm afraid there will be no results for a while." ”

Governor Lu's face was still gloomy: "No matter whether there is a result or not, we have to fight the enemy here, if anyone dares to have two hearts, I will immediately kill him to sacrifice the flag." ”

Zhizhou hurriedly said: "I don't dare to wait, everything is under the orders of the prefect." ”

"Hurry up and prepare grain and grass," Governor Lu said, "Even if Wang Shi doesn't come, we will have to fight to the death with the southeast." ”

Zhizhou answered and left quickly.

Governor Lu looked at Zhizhou's back, and his sharp gaze flashed.

"Keep an eye on Zhizhou, if he has any movement, immediately report to me," Lu Zhifu instructed the lieutenant general beside him, "If you find out that he is plotting wrong, you don't have to tell me, kill him immediately." ”

In wartime, there can be no hesitation.

……

Zhizhou hurriedly walked down the city tower, what Lord Zhang ordered him, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to do it, this Lu Zhifu is a dead brain, he wants to serve the imperial court, but he doesn't look at who is in charge of the big Zhou now.

Cheng Wangye and others took the soldiers and horses to Shunde to rescue the driver, but if the city here is lost, the imperial court will divide the troops in order to stop Song Chengxuan, so that it will be much easier for the Zhang family to deal with the emperor.

Zhizhou kept shaking his head, since Governor Lu refused to listen to him, he would leave Shuyang City with his soldiers and horses tonight, and he could make the situation chaotic by himself.

It was getting dark.

In the Shuyang Yamen, Lu Zhifu Bingzhu checked the map in front of him, he had been standing for too long, his arm was a little stiff and couldn't help but tilt slightly, and a drop of wax oil fell impartially and fell on the position of the capital.

Governor Lu was startled and was about to clean up the map, but his hand just stretched out but stopped, and sighed deeply, eventful, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil, Zhang Yuchi should have already led troops into Beijing, will Northern Xinjiang be unstable because of this?

External troubles often follow internal strife, and he actually always felt that the Tatar and Great Zhou peace talks were ill-intentioned, so he went on a twist and turn, but unfortunately did not get a response from the imperial court.

Now is a good opportunity for the Tatars to make a move, and the Tatars are going south, and the Great Zhou is in danger.

Governor Lu's eyes were blurred, and he felt sadness, he didn't know how many people were caught in the war, he reached out and rubbed his eyes, trying to cheer himself up.

"My lord," the deputy general walked quickly into the yamen, "Zhizhou went out of the city with his men and horses. ”

Governor Lu suddenly froze, and anger rose to his heart, Zhizhou actually did such a thing: "Go with me to arrest him, you can't let him leave here." ”

Outside Shuyang City, there was no civil strife in the southeast before facing it.

Governor Lu led people to pursue Zhizhou all the way, seeing that people were in front, Governor Lu noticed that something was not right, after he learned the news, he was angry, regardless of bringing troops to come, if Zhizhou set up an ambush......

Just thinking of this, there was a sound of rustling around me.

"Be careful, sir."

As soon as the adjutant general's words fell, arrows broke through the air.

Governor Lu hurriedly drew his sword to block it.

The incident happened suddenly, and the people around him were shot one after another.

"There is an ambush, ...... quickly" Someone rushed to both sides, fighting with the people who were ambushed here.

Zhizhou, who fled, went and returned, with a somewhat smug look on his face.

"Governor Lu," Zhizhou shouted loudly, "I advise you to put down the weapons in your hands, immediately dismount and confess, I will say a few kind words for you in front of Lord Zhang, and the good birds choose trees to perch on......"

"Phew," Governor Lu took a sip, "What is the crime of this official?" Those of you who have taken refuge in the Zhang family are thieves who have brought disaster to the country and the people. ”

Zhizhou's face immediately darkened: "This is your own death, after you die, I will take over the position of the prefect, who is the thief and who is the loyal minister and good general...... It's up to you to decide. ”

After speaking, Zhizhou instructed his subordinates: "Quickly solve him, we still have many important things to do." ”

Lu Zhifu was unexpectedly calculated, and seeing that it was difficult to defeat the people of Zhizhou, he never thought that he had not yet faced the southeast army, but in the end he would die in the hands of the people around him.

This is the calculation of the Zhang family.

"Hahaha," Governor Lu laughed, "Today's Shuyang City is tomorrow's Great Zhou, and the poor Great Zhou Foundation will be defeated in the hands of thieves like you." ”

Lu Zhifu was hit by an arrow in his arm, as long as those people pulled the bow, he probably had no power to resist.

Zhizhou raised the sword in his hand, Lu Zhifu felt sad in his heart, and was about to muster up his strength to fight the last strength, but he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, and then several figures rushed out from both sides.

Zhizhou obviously didn't expect such a situation, and before he came back to his senses, he saw one of them coming straight towards him, he subconsciously used the long sword in his hand to resist the man, but the man's strength was extremely great, and he shook his long sword, and then he felt a chill in his neck, and blood gushed out.

Zhizhou was suddenly killed, and the situation was immediately reversed, and Governor Lu looked at the situation in front of him in a daze, and couldn't believe that someone suddenly came to help him.

Those people were vigorous, and they quickly killed all the people in Zhizhou, and the people led by them wiped the blood from their cheeks and walked over to Governor Lu.

Governor Lu immediately stepped forward: "May I ask who you are ......?"

"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court," the man said, "the Zhang family rebelled, and we were ordered to come and kill the enemy." ”

Governor Lu felt a big peace in his heart: "How many people came?" Please come with me into town. ”

"No," the man waved his hand, "it's urgent, and we're going north to meet the Tartars." ”

"Tartar messed up?" Governor Lu was taken aback.

"There is no news yet," said the man, "but the Tatars will be in chaos, and we must not leave the people alone, we must stop the Tatars, and if we arrive sooner, we will be able to hold more checkpoints, so we cannot delay for a moment." ”

Governor Lu's heart was hot, and he immediately saluted: "I am really a warrior of the country." ”

After saying this, Governor Lu suddenly remembered something: "Where are you from?" ”
