Chapter 707: How to Be Good (Part II)
King Lu was entangled again, but only for a moment.
In the final analysis, he is a selfish person who covets his own power and pleasure more than for the sake of the land and the affairs of the court.
And he is not stupid, he knows that what Kong Wenxi said is reasonable, compared to the Guirong people who need him more to maintain the rule of Ludi, to the other two forces, he seems insignificant...
Even, when they really take Lu Di, they will become a thorn in the side of the existence, which will be quickly solved by them.
King Lu, who understood all this, immediately spoke: "I have decided, let people send orders everywhere and not resist the ghosts, otherwise they will be punished for rebellion!"
"The prince is wise!" Kong Wenxi was overjoyed, and at the same time let out a long sigh, he was really afraid that he would not be able to move the prince, which would lead to unforeseen consequences.
"Lord Wang......" Ye Feng was shocked, is this really going to completely give up Ludi to the ghost Rong people?
"I have made up your mind, you don't have to say it again, or you will be the first to be considered a rebel!" King Lu immediately interrupted his words, and then looked at Kong Wenxi on the other side, "Mr. Kong, this king has handed over this matter to you, you must bring this king's heart to them, so that they don't kill innocents indiscriminately......
"This can be regarded as this king doing a little more for the people of Ludi......
After saying this, he seemed to be moved by his noble sentiments, and his eyes were a little red.
Kong Wenxi hurriedly agreed loudly: "Don't worry, the prince and my Kong family will definitely live up to the trust of the prince, and will definitely ensure that the people of Ludi are not harmed by ghosts......
"Don't you really dare to say it, don't you feel blushing and ashamed because of this?"
"How can a guy like him, who has abandoned his sense of propriety and shame a long time ago, be ashamed of this statement?"
Suddenly, two voices full of ridicule came to mind outside the door, and then the door of the study that had been hidden was pushed open by someone, so that the chaotic scene outside completely fell into the eyes of the three inside.
Outside the study was a wide courtyard, and in addition to some guards, there were several royal servants who were ready to serve at any time.
And now, these people are held down, bound with ropes, and stuffed with cloth in their mouths, so that they can't warn the first few people inside. And in front of these people, there are fierce men with murderous spirit and swords out of their sheaths, as long as the leader gives an order, these weapons will easily sink into the throat of the other party's heart.
There were only four people, standing in front of the study for a long time at this time, and one of them retracted the hand that pushed the door, and the eyes of the four people who looked at King Lu were full of disdain and disdain, and even with a trace of murderous intent.
These four people are Zhao Qianzhe and Sun Ning, who represent the Pingtian Army and the Liangzhou Army respectively, as well as Song Qiyun and Wei Qianshan.
Just an hour ago, Zhao Qianzhe also planned to take advantage of the chaos to leave Jeju, the land of right and wrong.
Because he knew very well that the Pingtian Army really didn't have much preparation for this sudden change, and the ghost Rong Iron Cavalry entered Ludi, and he had no coping strategy, so he could only seek self-protection first.
I never thought that before anyone left, the envoy of the Liangzhou army suddenly came to the door, and the attitude was not hostile, but to seek cooperation.
After meeting, the other party was even more straight to the point: "Ghost Rong has broken through the Qingyun Pass, and in a few days, the army will be able to kill Jeju, has Zhao Gongzi thought about how to deal with it?"
"What does Lord Song think?" Zhao Qianzhe asked rhetorically.
"Lu Di must not fall into the hands of the Ghost Rong people so easily, otherwise the area north of the river will not be protected, and this should not be the result that people on both sides of you and I want to see.
"Moreover, the previous occupation of a large area of cities in northern Xinjiang by the Guirong people has greatly improved their strength, and what they lack is nothing more than money and food. Once Lu Di falls into his hands, these two items will also be replenished in place, and then you and I will be able to stop the footsteps of the ghost Rong going south?"
Zhao Qianzhe was silent, he naturally understood the truth in this, but the problem was that he had no ability to stop the other party now.
"Zhao Gongzi came to Ludi without any effort and danger this time, and he also hopes to make great achievements in order to lay the foundation for the future competition for status, right?" Song Qiyun stared at him again
said, "If you just sit back and watch Lu Di be obtained by the ghosts, are you really willing?"
This latter sentence really hit Zhao Qianzhe's vital point, and after he took a breath, he asked, "Then you say, what should we do to prevent the Ghost Rong people from seizing Ludi?"
"My Liangzhou army has already entered Ludi from the south, but in terms of strength and speed, it is obviously not comparable to the Ghost Rong Iron Cavalry, so we need Ludi soldiers and horses to slow down their pace, that is, let them resist stubbornly to the end at all costs."
Song Qiyun had nothing to hide at this time, and directly told his actions, but Zhao Qianzhe and Sun Ning on the side were shocked.
Unexpectedly, the three forces, two of them are secretly sending troops, poor Pingtian Army, no, it should be said that it is pitiful for him Zhao Qianzhe, who actually wants to use some small means to seize the opportunity.
However, this is no longer the time to accuse the other party of acting treacherous, Zhao Qianzhe took a deep breath and asked, "So this requires King Lu and the officials of Lu to be united with us? And to convince them, we need to work together?"
Sun Ning glanced at Zhao Qianzhe, this person's mind was indeed sensitive, and he grasped the key point in just one moment.
"Not only that, but we also need your Pingtian Army to send troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, with only one part of my Liangzhou army, I am afraid that I will not be able to repel the ghost Rong elite cavalry."
Zhao Qianzhe groaned for a moment, and then nodded: "I can immediately send someone Pegasus back to report the news, and let Luoyang and other places send troops." But what about after you really beat off the ghosts? And who should be in charge of Ludi?"
"This can be saved for the future, at least Lu Di must not fall into the hands of ghosts!"
Song Qiyun's words, Sun Ning quite agreed, compared with these two chaotic ministers and thieves, the ghost Rong people are obviously more harmful.
In the end, the two sides quickly agreed to cooperate, at least for the time being, they had their only enemy and needed to solve the looming crisis.
And the top priority is naturally to hurry up and see King Lu first, and through him, to mobilize Ludi's soldiers and horses to fight the ghost invaders to the end.
It's just that the two sides came to the door together before they arrived at King Lu's mansion, and they were blocked by the guards guarding there, even if they showed their identities, the other party actually didn't mean to pass on and let them in.
At this moment, Sun Ning suddenly thought of something, and whispered his judgment: "Brother Xian, the fact that Qingyun Pass was broken in one day is strange in itself, could it be that there is a problem within the defenders? And if there are even ghosts in King Lu's mansion, things will be in trouble."
Zhao Qianzhe instantly understood, and he didn't care about anything else, so he led people with Song Qiyun and forcibly broke into King Lu's mansion!
