At the head of Yangzhou City, Lu Dingwen, the suzerain of the Lu family, leaned against the dilapidated city wall with the support of several disciples, and looked at the coalition camp that stretched for dozens of miles below with expectation and anxiety on his face.

The city was at its wit's end, all credible and usable men were repurposed, and many of the buildings were torn apart and turned into defensive weapons to be thrown at the enemy below...... But this Yangzhou still came to the last moment, and they couldn't hold it anymore.

The only hope now is the friendship that the few families can still care about for many years, and the amazing news that they have just learned.

"I just hope that Dingze can succeed in convincing those people to quit...... I knew that it would be such a result, I shouldn't have ...... it in the first place" Lu Dingwen muttered words of self-reproach, but his voice was too low, and he couldn't even hear his son Lu Dingli, who was holding him beside him, clearly.

"Dad, it's windy in the city, let's go back first." Lu Dingli said with concern, his eyes always fell on the military camp below, and he seemed to see that there was another commotion there, and a few fast horses were heading straight towards the Chinese army from the rear camp.

"Yangzhou City is about to be destroyed, my Lu family is about to be wiped out, what is the old man afraid of getting sick from the cold?" Lu Dingwen shook his head disappreciatively and said, "This is our last chance to protect ourselves, I must see the result with my own eyes......"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the children did not dare to say much, in fact, they were also very concerned about the reaction of the coalition forces below, for fear that they would attack again.

"Dad, do you think the news from the Zongheng Club will be true and credible? Then the emperor really dared to do such a thing alone in my Jiangnan? Lu Dingli spoke again, a little incredulous.

Lu Dingqian, who was next to him, also followed: "Yes, sect master, I have also met him a few times, but he really doesn't look like a king." Moreover, he fought fiercely, and even Dingkun was captured by him and others, which is what an emperor should do, even if I am the children of the wealthy family, I dare not risk my life......"

"You're just keeping it, so naturally you don't have the courage. Think about the founding kings of the past dynasties, which one did not personally lead the troops and conquer the world?

"Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty, as well as Sun Tu, the Taizu of this dynasty, ......"

Hearing what the sect master said, everyone seemed to believe it a little, but some people still objected: "But he is not the founding king, but the king of the dead country 1......"

"It is precisely because of the death of the country that he wants to restore the country and dare to fight."

"But isn't he a mediocre and lascivious incompetent? How could it have ended up like this? ”

"Whether Sun Ning is a Ming Jun or a Duan Jun, none of us really know. But one thing can be confirmed, at that time, the powerful ministers of the court were in power, and he had no real power in his hands as a new emperor who succeeded to the throne less than 20 times. So who can tell whether the kingdom will fall at his hands or at the hands of those powerful ministers? ”

Lu Dingwen said with emotion: "But after the death of the country, he traveled all over the country and rebuilt the imperial court in the southwest, which can see his extraordinary." Therefore, it is very reasonable for him to go to Jiangnan at this time and want to disturb this place and make himself take advantage of the situation......"

As he was talking, he suddenly found that the military camp below had changed suddenly, and a team was pressing forward, and after a while, Lu Dingze, accompanied by several generals, came quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he had arrived at the city.

"Open the city gate, the army has agreed to stop the siege of the city, and promised to deal with the foreign enemy together!" Lu Dingze shouted loudly under the city.

The people in the city were stunned at first, and then cheered after taking a long breath.

Finally, Yangzhou was saved, and they didn't have to worry about being killed by the army.

However, Lu Dingwen did not have a smile on his face at this time, but a little more panic: "I'm afraid things will be more bad than we imagined, otherwise they wouldn't have agreed so happily!" ”

After the facts also proved that his judgment was correct, after bringing three generals into Yangzhou, Lu Dingze came to Lu Dingwen for the first time, and said with a nervous expression: "Sect Master, something really happened in the south." ”

"How?"

"Just now, each family has an urgent delivery, Hangzhou, Jinling, Suzhou and other places have been attacked by internal and external attacks almost at the same time, and all cities will be lost. And it was the army from the southwest that attacked the cities, as well as the rebels who had rebelled in Quzhou and continued to garrison there......"

This exact news made the old man's body shake a little, but fortunately, the children around him helped him in time, so nothing happened.

After a while, he calmly asked, "When did that happen?" ”

"Within ten days, just when they were attacking my Yangzhou with all their might. Those southwestern armies followed the sky, suddenly appeared within a few tens of miles of their cities, and then under the banner of the imperial court, they advanced rapidly, first descending to the small county towns without any preparation, and finally launching an attack on the main cities.

"In Hangzhou and other cities, not only were the troops empty because of the all-out attack on our Yangzhou, but also the attack of the internal response that had been ambushed early in the city, causing the city gates to be quickly opened......

What's worse is that they even set up soldiers and horses to intercept and kill all the messengers along the way. As a result, only a few messengers have arrived until today, and I am afraid that all the cities have now fallen into the hands of the imperial court! ”

After saying all this, Lu Dingze and the other Lu family disciples all showed very strange expressions.

They were surprised by such a big change, but at the same time, they also had the thrill of schadenfreude.

What is retribution, this is it.

The allied forces surrounded Yangzhou and stormed, almost destroying the entire Lu family.

But now, the Lu family is still there, Yangzhou is still there, but something big happened in their backyard.

I'm afraid that the coalition forces outside outside have long been in turmoil and are about to collapse, right?

"Good means, really good means!" Lu Dingwen didn't see half of the joy, but sighed with anxiety and emotion.

Sun Ning's ruthless methods and decisive actions still exceeded his expectations.

Not only did he really attack Jiangnan, but he also divided his troops. Obviously, he has almost invested almost all the troops in the southwest to Jiangnan, and it is clear that he is going to finish the battle!

And he knows more that this upheaval is definitely not a good thing or opportunity for Yangzhou and the Lu family, once the other families are really uprooted and the cities fall into the hands of the imperial court, then the Yangzhou Lu family is their next target.

And how could the Lu family, who had been greatly injured, be able to hold on to the crumbling Yangzhou?

Therefore, the wisest choice now is naturally to cooperate with the coalition forces outside the city to resist the imperial army together.

Who would have thought that in just half a day, the two sides in Jiangnan, who were fighting for life and death, would join forces......
