It's a pity that Huang Chong's cavalry troops didn't even get close to the first line of defense, so they were beaten and scurried, and the two lines of defense behind became decorations.

Hou Zuoyi's army simply cleaned up, and then made a detour and went straight to the northern camp.

And all this, Xiang Qingxi didn't know, his search for Liang had not stopped, if it weren't for Xiang Qingxi's ability to feel that Jin Liang was still alive in the soul contract, everyone felt that Jin Liang would have been wiped out long ago.

On this day, Xiang Qingxi walked out of the realm gate again after cultivation, looked at the vast and boundless Shenzhu and let out a long roar, and shouted from his heart with a soul contract, "Jinliang, you treat me as a teacher and a friend, and solve troubles for me, who said that people who cultivate immortals are unkind, I hereby make an oath, if one day, we can meet each other alive, it will be when you and I break the contract." ”

In a ruined cave mansion in the void outside the Nine Heavens, there is an old monster with a human head but a wooden body, this old monster has been sleeping for many years, just when Xiang Qingxi made an oath, he suddenly opened his eyes and muttered, "What, are ......you going to be friends with the enemy?"

When Hou Zuoyi's army set up camp in the south of Zhenyuan Prefecture, Lu Wenhan and Dingzhou Hai Qianqiu both received a tip report at the same time, it seems that the army from the imperial court wants to exterminate Zhenyuan Prefecture is true, and it is about to happen, Lu Wenhan's son was taken away by Fang Zhiye in Beidaying, Lu Wenhan was still actively in frequent contact with Fang Zhiye, in order to exchange for his son's life.

But no matter who was sent to act as a messenger, the reply was basically the same, and the other party did not mention any conditions, but only said, "In exchange for something of equal value to your son." ”

The other party did not mention the conditions, let Lu Wenhan measure it himself, this was difficult for him, Lu Gao in his mind, equivalent to his life, even more than the entire battalion of the Zhenyuan Prefecture commander, at the critical moment, he could give up the entire military camp, and he was not willing to give up his son's life, he thought about surrendering, but he also knew that if he surrendered, what would their Lu family face, if he exchanged the life of the entire Lu family for his son's life, he had to let him think carefully.

At this time, in the hall of the Lu family's old house in Zhenyuan Prefecture, when the Lu family's still alive clansmen gathered together to discuss how to rescue Lu Gao, the news of the arrival of the Hou Zuoyi army came in, and the veteran Lu Wenhan was ruthless, stood up, and sighed, "That's it, what should come is still coming." With that, he walked up to his old mother and got down on his knees.

"The son is not filial, and he will cause the disaster of exterminating the Lu family, if Gao'er can't be saved by Yu Worship, then let him fend for himself. With that, he knocked his head three times.

"My son, you don't have to be entangled, life and death are fateful, not to mention that even if there is no high road, the Hou family will not let us go, son, now do what you should do." Lu Wenhan's ninety-year-old mother looked kindly at her son, who had passed the sixtieth year, and said.

Lu Wenhan paused, looked up at his old mother, tears almost didn't flow out, his mother was so old, and it was really unfilial to let her follow him to be afraid, he then nodded, "I know, mother." After speaking, he stood up, and a murderous aura surged from him, "Hmph, if you want to destroy my Lu family, then you have to pay some price." ”

Lu Wenhan walked out of the hall, came to the lounge in the front yard, and shouted, "Commander Tai, immediately return to the camp and order the whole army, get ready to go, we will go to meet Hou Zuoyi who has come from a long distance in a while." ”

"Yes!" Commander Tai, who was sitting in the front hall drinking tea, heard this, and immediately stood up and responded, "General, there are still some of our soldiers in Zhenyuan Prefecture who manage public security, should we also take them away to fight?"

"Alas, those soldiers have been corrupted by Song Qinglian, and they are useless, so we don't need them, besides, Zhenyuan Prefecture also needs people to maintain law and order, if there is chaos here, our military camp will be self-defeating. The evil aura on Lu Wenhan's face has not yet receded.

"General, too many ants can bite an elephant, and small people can sometimes be of great use. "Although Commander Tai is tall and big, his thinking is still very delicate, and he is very serious.

"Well, okay, there are 800 officers and soldiers in the security station, so send 500 to gather here, and then we will go to the command camp together. Although Lu Wenhan's evil spirit was exposed, he couldn't wait to go straight to the camp and go to the battlefield at this moment, but he knew that this guy with five big and three rough thinking and delicate thinking would not let him get his wish.

This time I didn't bring Commander Tai to the old mansion, but when I went out of the camp, this Commander Tai was arguing with many commanders there, and he didn't know the specific content, this Commander Tai had a problem, he was very serious, unless you used a military order to shut him up, but he wouldn't be convinced in his heart, otherwise, he would definitely say that until you agree with his point of view, it was too annoying.

This person's thinking is particularly agile and delicate, and the theory he put forward is unrefutable and irrefutable, every time he talks to him, he has a feeling of being unconvinced, but he has to accept it.

Over time, there were fewer people arguing with him, either collectively refuting him, or what he said, everyone collectively pretended to agree, but this time everyone didn't know why, and they quarreled with him, Lu Wenhan had to order him to lead his soldiers back to the old mansion with him to discuss the matter of saving Lu Gao.

Lu Wenhan can't send troops to attack the Beida camp, first, he may not be able to fight, and second, the Beida camp is the barrier between the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan, and he can't attack him, otherwise the Khitan dog thieves will take advantage of the chaos to enter, and the Great Song Dynasty will not leave a piece of armor. Therefore, Lu Wenhan could only go home and ask for help from the clansmen and the worshippers in the clan to seek a way to save Lu Gao.

After coming back, the clansmen discussed for three days, but there was no result, the opinions were completely unanimous, and it happened that Hou Zuoyi led a large group of people to Zhenyuan Prefecture, no matter whether he was acting against Xiang Qingxi's base at this time, or in order to deal with him Lu Wenhan, he had to go to meet him.

But let this Tai commander go back to assemble the team, this guy showed a reasonable attitude again, Lu Wenhan had a headache, so he had to ask him to gather the officers and soldiers in the security station to go to the camp together.

Not long after this Tai commander went out, there was another report from Tanma, saying that Hou Zuoyi's army was no longer encamped, but hastily packed up, and had made a detour to the direction of Beidaying.

"What? Is the news reliable? Why is this happening?" Lu Wenhan was anxiously waiting for Commander Tai to come back so that he could return to the camp to prepare for the battle, but when he heard the news brought back by Tanma, he was surprised, what made Hou Zuoyi change his route.
