Chapter 661: The Gate Valve Rises to Arms, and the Era of the Great Princes Begins
'The 557th year of the empire was destined to be a chaotic year, and it was also a turning point, the foundation of the Celestial Dragon Empire, which had stood for more than 550 years, began to collapse, and Kyushu no longer ruled.
Xiyan Mansion, Sanlu Town, Xichuan County, is destined to write a sentence on the end of the empire, October 21, the first in Sanlu Town, Xichuan County Wang, Lu Guangren raised the anti-flag, led the courtyard, caravan guards more than 300 people first occupied the town, and then gathered nearly 1,000 guards from each family, rushed to attack Julu County, Pinglu County did not defend for a day, fell, this move, sensational Chuzhou all over the gate, a new chapter has been opened.
Xichuan County is located in the southwest of Xiyan Prefecture, adjacent to Jiuchuan Mansion, the mountains and rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, the hills are all over, the green mountains and green waters constitute the scenery and topography of Xichuan County, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft, the Xichuan place is not suitable for farming, the people mostly make a living from logging, hunting, quarrying, etc., so the local people of Xichuan County are fierce.
Sanlu Town belongs to Julu County, located in a hill valley, three mountains and a valley, the middle stream of the green water valley, the whole town is quite prosperous, because there are a large number of deer in the three mountains outside Sanlu Town, and the existence of giant horned deer beasts, and relying on these deer, Sanlu Town can be said to be quite rich.
And when it comes to Sanlu Town, we can't fail to mention the first Lu family in the town, this Sanlu Town was still a wilderness valley a hundred years ago, uninhabited, but in the rebellion of the kings a hundred years ago, the Lu family, which was only a small rich family, hid in this valley in order to avoid the war, and in the years of turmoil, gradually many refugees fled in, so a village was formed here.
With the establishment of the village, the Lu family was naturally elected as the village leader, and the Lu family has taken root here since then, and with the subsidence of the rebellion of the kings, the world is peaceful, and the Lu family has not left, but continued to stay in the valley to develop.
A hundred years have passed in a flash, the Lu family has experienced four heads of the family, Sanlu Town is not the original small village, has become today's Sanlu Town, there are 3,000 households, tens of thousands of people, and the whole town, almost all of them are descendants of the original group of people, and there is another point, that is, these people all serve the Lu family.
Even some wealthy families in the town are inseparable from the Lu family, and even the stewards of the Lu family, the shopkeeper is independent, it can be said that the Lu family in Sanlu Town is the emperor of the soil.
Relying on the abundant deer resources around Sanlu Town, as well as mountain herbs and forests, the Lu family is becoming more and more prosperous, and it has also raised offerings, cultivated loyal guards, caravan guards, and even set up a giant deer cavalry courtyard composed of more than 30 people.
The Lu family is very rich, in Julu County, the Lu family is also a local brother, and even in the county, the Lu family also belongs to the wang family, the Lu family has been reproduced for four generations, and it is also flourishing.
Xiangyang is in turmoil, far away from here, naturally there is nothing to do, but this time, the Holy Sect Army raised the flag, but it was by the side, the most important thing was the private soldiers of the two divisions, after Zilongfeng captured Panlong City, he did not go to capture other places with great fanfare, but with the stalemate of the war, Zilongfeng suddenly united with part of the Rock Army to attack the imperial army, and the victory was decided in a battle.
After that, the situation was a little out of control, the defeat of the emperor ** in Xiyan, Jiuchuan, and Songling Mansion directly led to Sanfu becoming an ownerless thing, Zilongfeng did not go to occupy Xiyan, but retreated to Jiujing, forcibly occupied all parts of Jiuchuan, and at the same time sent soldiers and horses back to Jialin Mansion, after the sword, it was also time for a showdown.
And Xiyan Mansion has become the fruit of the division of the Holy Sect Army and some of the Rock Legions, in addition to the soldiers and horses who are still besieging the emperor's **, in the land of the Three Mansions, the small team of soldiers and horses holding anti-flags began to "attack the city." "Strong territory.
The establishment of the Holy Sect Army is under the banner of equalizing wealth, removing gate valves, and dividing the land, so every time it occupies a piece of land, it will liquidate the gate valves of the local forces that are intertwined, firstly, to obtain a large amount of assets, and secondly, this is also because these gate valves are not easy to control and difficult to digest.
The Holy Cult Army did this, naturally making long-term plans for the sake of long-term rule over the region, but the rebels of the Rock Legion didn't have so many ideas.
The Rock Legion, in the previous Xiangyang Rebellion, was greatly injured, and the soldiers and horses were heavily damaged, although the elite still existed, but most of the force was abolished, and this time the Holy Sect raised the flag, and several brigades and horses responded directly, which can be said to be a heavy blow to the Rock Legion.
And most of these brigades are veteran brigades, and dragged down by these people, even the soldiers and horses stationed in other places are also despised by the Suzaku Legion and the Python Regiment, and at the same time, they were ordered to leave the station, and the city defense was garrisoned by the other two legions, which was obviously distrustful, and was excluded, so that some people of the Rock Legion finally raised the flag under the persuasion of the Holy Sect Messenger.
Abandoning their allegiance to the empire, these Rock Army lost their souls, turned into a ferocious beast, and began to bite wildly, the slightest stimulation would make this beast crazy, and remembering some other eyes they received before, spurned, they began to retaliate, and in this, those gate lords bear the brunt.
Compared with the Holy Cult Army, the methods of the Rock Army are more bloody and terrifying, but all the people with some wealth have become their targets, and they are occupied by a city, a city is bloody.
In this context, the Lu family in Sanlu Town staged another play.
Lu Guangren is less than thirty years old, he took over the position of the head of the family three years ago, and showed amazing ability, but at this moment, the lobby of the Lu family in Sanlu Town is full of seven rooms of the Lu family, two generations of rulers.
"Uncles, brothers, everyone knows the current situation outside, the sky has fallen, although the empire still has some soldiers and horses in the surrounding provinces, but the rule is falling apart, the Holy Sect Army, I don't have a good impression of our gate lords, they want to raid our home, not only for money but also for life, those rock rebels, even more crazy, not a place, blood is flowing like a river, hell everywhere!"
"The news from Jiuchuan Mansion that those nobles are also crazy, and they are pointing the finger at us, and now they are also killing the rich merchants, and now we are like pigs, slaughtered at will, and now, our Lu family has become fat in the eyes of some people!"
"That group of stupid officials in Julu County did not forget to blackmail and blackmail at this time, and actually asked my Lu family to send two hundred guards to Julu to accept the command of the city guard battalion, and take out 50,000 gold and 10,000 quintals of grain as food!"
"The head of the family, Julu County is the southwest barrier of our Xize County, the land route, if the giant deer falls, the door to the outside of our Sanlu Town will be closed, and it will even become a caged bird and a fish in the bucket, although those officials are a little excessive, but the giant deer can't not be guarded!"
‘... But those guys are too much, 50,000 gold, 10,000 loads of grain, do they want my Lu family to pay for them! Isn't this giant deer their share, all of them have to be borne by my Lu family. ”
For a while, there was a lot of noise in the lobby, tens of thousands of gold, 10,000 quintals of grain, and the Lu family took it out, 'Because the town does not produce food, it will hoard a large amount of grain every year, which is also a rule handed down from a hundred years ago, and the Lu family is not short of this money, so they have been doing it, but the problem is that even if they take out these, Julu County may not be able to keep it!
Lu Guangren listened silently, and felt that the heat was almost over, so he put down the teacup he picked up, although the sound was not loud, but everyone in the hall quieted down.
"Guangren, you are now the head of the Lu family, over the years, I can trust your ability as an uncle, what should I do, your next charter, at this time, the Lu family is a rope, what you say, everyone listens to you!"
"Uncle is polite, Guangren Niu is still young, and there are many things that need to be mentioned by your uncle!" Lu Guangren said politely, but continued: "But what Uncle said is true, at this time, our Lu family must be twisted into a rope!"
"Tens of thousands of gold, 10,000 quintals of grain, 200 nursing homes, our Lu family gave it, and we can take it, but what should be given is given, and what should be taken, whether this giant deer can be guarded, this is the key, what kind of virtue those officials in the county town should know, the city guard captain, just a flower Tai Sui, except for Hualou, he has never practiced a day of soldiers, let him command, I am afraid that the enemy army is coming, he will run away first!"
"Guangren is right, those generals in the county don't know what to do, hand over the nursing home to the courtyard, this giant deer can't hold it, it can't hold it! But is there any other way, or, see if we can seize a position and let us lead the troops ourselves?"
"Second uncle, as far as we know, it was the small two thousand Rock Army that was killed immediately, and one of them was a veteran, killed on the battlefield in Xiangyang, and wanted to defend the giant deer, and there may be some hope for all the strength of the non-** giant deer, only relying on our two hundred guards, I am afraid that at most it will be bad to see the situation and run back, but our home is in Sanlu Town, unless we give up here and escape into the old mountains, there is no way back!"
"Guangren, you can see that you already have a plan in your heart, don't you, say it, everyone listen, at this time, it is still hidden, and the Lu family is in a catastrophe!"
"Uncles, brothers, Hirohito does have an idea, but this method is a bit ...... ,!”
"Guangren, just say it, at this time, as long as you can keep the Lu family, you don't have to scruple about everything!"
"Then I said, if you want to guard my Lu family's foundation, you must guard the giant deer, and to guard the giant deer, you must concentrate all your strength to have a chance to fight, and if you want to do this, you must take the lifeblood in our own hands, rather than letting a group of straw bales decide our fate!"
Lu Guangren said, glanced at the hall, everyone looked at him seriously, Lu Guangren said word by word: "The day has fallen, so we can only rely on us to save ourselves, Guangren wants to form the Lu family self-rescue army, gather the young and strong of Sanlu Town, occupy Julu, integrate the available forces of Julu County, and have resisted the rebels!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, but some of the older generation of people in the family were bright-eyed, in this troubled era, military power is everything, the Lu family has money and food, and then there are soldiers, even if they are princes all the way, why not, as for this empire!
The sky is falling, who cares about any empire!
"It's done! Guangren, you give orders, we Lu family members all listen to you!,
