For more than a month, the entire Hedong County was in a panic, for fear that the officers and soldiers would rush in the next moment and arrest and execute the whole family.

Of course, those who have this kind of worry are those who have rich families.

As for the ordinary people, it is more likely that after finishing the day's work, they grab a handful of melon seeds and gather next to the arrest site, while knocking on the melon seeds, guessing what the family has done, as entertainment after a day of fatigue.

I have to say that when it is not about me, the people of the Great Song Dynasty are very eager to watch the excitement.

Finally, after more than a month of clean-up, everything that should be cleaned up was almost cleaned up, and the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court began to escort some repeat offenders into Beijing one after another, and the other unimportant ones were directly solved on the spot.

The entire Hedong County also began to slowly return to calm.

And outside the gate, the remnants of the Lu family simply feel that they are dogs!

Originally, it was good to hide in the valley, and from time to time there would be supporting forces to bring supplies and news from the pass.

But since two months ago, none of those forces have sent anyone to come, and the clan elders have speculated that they may have been ambushed by the imperial court and dealt with.

So the Lu family was ready to send people into the customs, and it was not difficult to support some new forces again with the Lu family's heritage.

But something broke them, and just as they were about to let them in, a large number of cavalry rushed out of the valley!

There were nearly 10,000 people under the dense inventory.

The Lu family in the valley was stunned, but then they reacted, afraid that someone would reveal their location, although they gritted their teeth with hatred, but now they had no choice but to find a way to withstand the attack of the imperial court.

The valley that can be selected by the Lu family as the nest is naturally advantageous, the valley is surrounded by mountains, and more importantly, the outer slopes are steep and cannot be climbed at all, so you can only climb the surrounding mountains from the inside, and the place where you enter the valley is as narrow as a line of sky, as long as you deploy troops on the top of the mountains on both sides to guard, this is a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This entrance can only accommodate one car, which limits the number of people entering the valley and makes it easier to defend.

The Lu family naturally made all kinds of preparations in the valley early, and prepared a lot of defensive weapons to guard the valley.

Therefore, although there were foreign cavalry outside, they did not panic at all, if these 10,000 cavalry were on the plain, it would be easiest for them to surrender directly, but they would not be useful at all in this kind of terrain.

As long as the cavalry dared to enter the valley, they were sure that the cavalry they fought would suffer heavy losses.

Even if they were armored cavalry, the rockfall attack alone was not to be underestimated.

Huo Qubing, as a general, naturally understands this.

After sending someone to check the surrounding terrain and confirming that there were no places around that could enter the valley from other places, Huo Qubing immediately made a decision.

That is, to besiege but not attack, so that they will run out of ammunition and food.

Although the siege without attacking put considerable pressure on their logistics, and the food and grass required by tens of thousands of cavalry was a huge number, they could still mobilize from the pass to occupy the initiative.

Moreover, the savings in the customs have gradually increased in the past two years, and it is still easy to support them.

But for the people of the Lu family in the valley, judging from the materials they get from outside every time, the number of people will not be small, and the daily consumption is also large.

But now His Majesty has gone on a killing spree in Hedong and swept away the forces supported by the Lu family.

In this case, the Lu family has no external material support, so they can only rely on inventory to insist.

With a large population and insufficient supplies, he only needs to block the exit from this valley and send people to patrol around the valley from time to time to prevent people from escaping from the cliffs.

Then in the end, the first person who can't stand it must be the Lu family!

Immediately, Huo Qubing wrote a notebook and sent the news to Bianjing.

When Zhao Jun received the message and read the contents, he immediately agreed with Huo Quai's approach, and commented:

"Do not accept any surrender from the Lu family! Because of their displacement, hundreds of people have lost their homes, and even fell into the fate of Yizi.

Today, let them Lu family also experience the feeling of being hungry.

Hungry! Starve them! From now on, the valley will be blocked, not a single bird will be allowed to enter, and I will have people supply you with your logistical supplies, and I want to see how hungry the Lu family can be! ”

After receiving the reply, Huo Qubing showed such an expression, he knew that after his report went up, His Majesty must have responded like this, according to His Majesty's temper, he could torture these Lu family members to death, which was far more relieving to His Majesty than slashing them.

Now that he had received His Majesty's order, Huo Qubing immediately began to arrange it.

Three teams of 1,000 men were assigned to patrol the entire Tri-Valley in shifts from time to time.

And the remaining 7,000 people were stationed directly outside Sangu, blocking the exit, and letting the Lu family stay inside to see how long they could hold on.

Within a few days, the supplies from the imperial court were also quickly delivered, and there was actually wine and meat, and it is said that this wine was given to them by His Majesty himself, so that they could use it to stimulate the Lu family, and at the same time to reward everyone's merits on the grassland.

And the rewards for the big guys slaughtering the Xiongnu tribes on the grassland have also been distributed to their families.

As for the promotion, I will have to wait until I return to Beijing.

After learning the news, the morale of the entire cavalry army was boosted, and the reward had been issued, so they could spend it here with peace of mind.

Stationed here, as long as the enemy's exit is blocked, not only is there no danger, but there is also wine and meat to eat, or the Holy Father has given it, and you can drink wine and eat meat in a big gulp.

It's a fairy!

Immediately, many soldiers stayed at ease, blocked the exit of Lujia Valley, and became nail households.

And in the valley, when the Lu family waited for seven or eight days, but still did not see the imperial army's attack, they were all stupid.

Seeing them gathered at the exit and camped, drinking and eating meat from time to time, they were silent.

No one is a fool, and everyone can see what the court is thinking, and it is clear that they want to trap them here alive.

But even if they saw it, there was nothing they could do, because it was almost incomprehensible.

After hiding outside the customs, all the materials of the Lu family had to rely on the supplies provided by the customs, which was also the reason why they had to support so many forces when they came out of the customs.

But now the power has been ended, and the home has been blocked.

I can't get out, so I'm numb.

The supplies stored in the valley are enough to feed for two months.

If this is blocked by the imperial court for two months, then they will really starve to death in this valley!

The near-hopeless future made the Lu family in the valley depressed.

Seeing the imperial army singing and dancing outside the city, and supplies being sent from time to time, what is even more annoying is that every day they can hear that there is something to celebrate in the military camp opposite, and the Lu family is even more angry.

Time passed like this, and more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past month or so, Huo Qubing and his subordinates have become accustomed to today's life, eating and training every day, taking people out to patrol in the afternoon, and after returning in the evening, a group of people watched the teams from the distance of each battalion in the camp play Keju, not to mention how comfortable it was that day!

As for the Lu family?

Oh, there have been people who have tried to sneak out for the past two months, but now their heads are hanging from the railing at the camp gate, looking at the exit of the valley.

In the past, he planned to wait for 99 to build a Beijing temple at the mouth of the valley.

At this time, the Gu Neilu family was already filled with a depressed atmosphere.

Everywhere was the dejected and desperate Lu family, and in the deepest part of the valley, in a huge wooden house with the most luxurious decoration, accompanied by the sound of fast footsteps.

Several people walked in briskly with heavy faces, and bowed to a middle-aged man in the main seat of the house:

"Head of the house!"

"Hmm."
