Two hours later, the battle ended.

Of the 100,000 troops in Great Xia, more than half of them finally surrendered, and the rest of the soldiers either died or fled, and Lei Jin won a complete victory.

"Your Highness, the imperial court has been defeated, and it is difficult to organize a strong defense in a short period of time.

Yuanzhou, one hundred and fifty miles away from the capital of Great Xia, is the last line of defense north of the capital of Great Xia.

Won state, north of the capital, there is no barrier!

The vengeful Lei Jin naturally didn't want to let go of this great opportunity.

Not only Lei Jin, but also the six princes, Xia Yongtu and Lu Ming, who had just surrendered, also echoed, "Your Highness, what General Lei said is very true.

The soldiers are fast, and now that there are no strong generals available in the imperial court, His Royal Highness might as well take the opportunity to lead the troops into the capital! ”

Xia Gang smiled lightly and nodded.

Entering the capital is naturally a good thing he can't ask for.

Originally, he didn't expect that Xia Yongtu would bring him such a big gift this time!

Now it's okay, the right time, place and people, let him take it all.

Just as he was about to give the order to continue the march into Wonju, a herald suddenly walked in.

"Lord Qiqi, Jiankang has just received news that Chu Yin led his troops to cross the Huai River, and in just five days, he has captured Yingzhou, Xiangzhou, Huozhou, Nanyu Prefecture and Zhongli County, and is continuing to go north."

"What?" Lei Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, "Your Highness, Chu Yin is raising troops from Jiangnan, and the imperial court is bound to be tired of coping, it is a good time for us to enter Yuanzhou!" ”

When Xia Yongtu heard the news, he frowned, "Chu Yin's army from Jiangnan is indeed bad news for the imperial court, but it is not necessarily a good thing for His Royal Highness King Sui!"

In any case, Chu Yin is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and he is not of the same heart as us, if they are allowed to continue to sit big, they will definitely pose a huge threat to His Royal Highness King Sui in the future! ”

Xia Gang pondered for a long time, and immediately said, "General Lei, you temporarily stay here in Huizhou to reorganize the army, and pay close attention to the movements in Yuanzhou."

At the same time, he sent people to Nanyu Prefecture and Wuxing County respectively to investigate the movements of Chuyin, Puzhen and the Turks.

If there is any situation, feel free to report it! ”

"Your Highness, this ...... Don't miss it! ”

Lei Jin was in a hurry.

According to his plan, it was easy to take Wonju with an army of more than 100,000 troops.

But I never expected that King Sui retreated at a critical moment!

However, King Sui had made up his mind, and no matter how anxious he was, he was helpless.

"Sister Huanyun, you reunite with the uncle and daughter of the Six Emperors, so it's better to go back to Suizhou with me as soon as possible."

Although Xia Gang behaved easily on the surface, he could not hide a trace of worry between his eyebrows, and he impatiently took the Lord of Phantom Cloud and Xia Yongtu and embarked on the road back to Suizhou.

In Suizhou City, knowing that it would be difficult to leave in a short period of time, Lu An simply stayed quietly.

Three days later, Ah Er returned from Fenzhou and brought back the news he had found in Fenzhou.

As Lan'er said, Lu Yuyan launched a counterattack against the Qinghe Lu clan and the Pingyuan Chen clan at the same time, but the effect was not obvious.

All the cities that passed through on the way from Suizhou to Fenzhou had snowflake salt and glassware operated by Lu Yuyan, and the response was really good.

Compared with coarse salt, snowflake salt has a huge advantage in both taste and appearance.

What's more, Lu Yuyan's snowflake salt is actually comparable to Qinghe Lu's coarse salt in terms of price.

As a result, people everywhere, rich or poor, have chosen snowflake salt.

All of a sudden, Qinghe Lu's sea salt was almost completely unsalable.

The situation is similar for glassware.

On the one hand, because of the novelty of glassware, and on the other hand, the price of porcelain is almost the same, so that although Pingyuan Chen's porcelain is not completely unsalable, it has seized most of the market in a short period of time.

Faced with this situation, the Lu Chen family did not react, and still confronted Lu Yuyan unhurriedly.

It can be seen that the impact of a short period of time, the two great families of Lu and Chen do not seem to take it to heart.

In any case, these two great families have been inherited for a long time, how can they be easily defeated?

However, Lu An believes that if it continues, the Qinghe Lu clan and the Pingyuan Chen clan will not be able to hold it sooner or later!

Ten days later, on the day of King Sui's return, he sent someone to invite Lu An to the palace.

Although he had already expected that the six princes would be invited back together, when Lu An saw Xia Yongtu, he was surprised and respectfully greeted.

On the way back, the county lord of Phantom Cloud told Xia Yongtu the truth about Lu An's trip to Jinshan to help her get out of trouble.

It stands to reason that Lu An helped the Lord of Phantom Cloud twice to avoid the pain of harmony, and as a father, Xia Yongtu should be grateful to Lu An.

However, what made Lu An depressed was that the other party just glanced at him lightly, and even he vaguely heard a slight cold snort from the other party!

Obviously, Xia Yongtu didn't want to see him at all.

However, Lu An didn't take this to heart.

Anyway, he didn't really want to marry the Lord of Phantom Cloud as Xia Gang expected, so naturally there was no need to tie up Xia Yongtu.

Xia Gang warmly invited Lu An to the wine table and sat down next to him.

This move is enough to show how much he attaches importance to Lu An.

However, what Xia Gang said next really confirmed Lu An's previous guess!

Xia Gang never mentioned anything more about being a matchmaker for him and the Lord of Phantom Cloud County......

"Because this king was anxious to go to Huizhou to meet the Sixth Emperor Uncle, he left Brother Lu in Suizhou for a few days.

Brother Lu is talented, and this king originally wanted to keep Brother Lu here in Suizhou to talk, but now that something has happened, there is something that needs to be taken off, and I hope that Brother Lu will not refuse. ”

"Oh? Lu Moujie grass people, I don't know if there is anything that can help His Highness, although His Highness said bluntly, only grass people can do it, and they will definitely go all out. ”

"Hehe, Brother Lu is happy."

Xia Gang smiled with satisfaction, "It's not a secret, this king had some agreements with Lord Chuyin a long time ago.

Seven days ago, with the help of the six emperors' uncles, this king successfully took the imperial army on the front line of Huizhou.

At the same time, Lord Chuyin also sent troops to Huaibei, which restrained a lot of energy in the imperial court.

However, the situation of General Pu and Princess Erma in the Hexi area is unclear now, and the king means that it is better to stay still for a short time.

Therefore, this king hopes that Brother Lu can help me bring a message to Lord Chu Yin, and Lord Chu's side is best to also hold still.

After the war on the Hexi side stabilizes, the three of us will challenge the imperial court together, and the certainty will be greater, I wonder if Brother Lu is willing to help with this? ”

"Uh-" Lu An was instantly stunned when he heard this, "Your Highness, Lu is just a grass people, what you just said is so complicated, Lu is afraid that ......"

Xia Gang smiled slightly, "This king understands that Brother Lu is a businessman and does not want to get involved in disputes between various forces.

In fact, this king just hoped that Brother Lu would bring a word by the way when he went back, and he didn't mean anything else. ”

"That'...... All right! ”

Lu An just nodded, but saw the Xia Yongtu Turk on the opposite side snorted coldly, "His Royal Highness King Sui, since Lu An is so reluctant, in the opinion of this king, wouldn't it be better to leave him in Suizhou?" ”

Lu An was shocked when he heard this.

What do you mean?

finally got rid of King Sui's house arrest on him, how could the sixth prince come to this set!

Fortunately, the Illusory Cloud County Lord next to him pleaded in time, "Father, Lu An saved his daughter, you-"

"Shut up!" Xia Yongtu shouted angrily, and looked at Lu An's eyes with a thick hostility, "His Royal Highness King Sui should know that Chu Yin and they are the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they will become a big disaster in the future."

And Lu An's father has been hiding in the capital for many years, so he must have had a plan!

Why didn't His Highness leave him in Suizhou, so that Chu Yin and Lu Mancang could throw them into a rat trap in the future? ”
