Chapter 87: Settle accounts after autumn

"Kill!!"

Standing on the city wall, Lu Xing held a long sword, angrily slashed the enemy in front of him, and kicked him off the city wall.

This is Longbian County, Jiaozhi County.

It is the seat of governance of the entire Jiaozhi County, which can also be said to be the core of Jiaozhou.

Not long ago, Lu Xing killed Sun Zhen, the Taishou of Jiaozhi County.

Sun Zhen is a clan, and in the eyes of Lu Xing and others, this person is probably even more hateful than Sun Jun and Sun Qi.

Sun Jun and Sun Qi only harm the upper class, they do not harm the bottom class, but this Sun Zhen is different, he is loyal to Sun Xiu, he obeys the emperor's words, whether it is to the high-level nobles or those powerful ministers, they are very respectful.

However, he was the only one who was very cruel to the people.

He wantonly persecuted the people, collected oil and water, and treated his subordinates very cruelly, insulting and beating, and calling them as his own dogs.

Lu Xing was originally just a local county official, and he worked diligently for many years, although he did not get into a high position and did not have too good results, but he was deeply respected by the local people and colleagues.

Even the county guard in the past was more polite to Lu Xing, often holding banquets and entertaining him, asking him about policies, and occasionally nobles came and called him out to greet him.

However, after this Sun Zhen took the throne, he didn't take Lu Xing seriously at all.

When he was about to forcibly arrest the people and send them to Jianye, Lu Xing came to see him and told him about the benefits, Sun Zhen was immediately furious and scolded Lu Xing: Does the old dog also know the world?

Immediately, he ordered Lu Xing to be beaten out left and right.

At this moment, Lu Xing couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and directly pulled out his weapon and cut down Sun Zhen in front of him.

Sun Zhen fell to the ground in horror, covering the wounds on his face, crying and begging for mercy.

But Lu Xing did not forgive him, directly cut off his head, and then asked everyone to surrender with him.

Probably because this county guard was too unpopular, or maybe because Sun Wu's recent behavior had caused the people to suffer too much, the entire Jiaozhi County suddenly rose up under the leadership of Lu Xing.

Their envoys rushed in the direction of the Wei people and told them about their surrender and submission, while at the same time, the surrounding Wu troops also reacted and rushed to suppress the rebellion.

LΓΌ Xing led his men to block the Wu attack in the city, and at the same time waited for Cao Wei's reinforcements to arrive.

The attack of the Wu people became more and more frenzied, and they were attacking fiercely for several days, but LΓΌ Xing repelled the enemy again and again, and with the efforts of the people and soldiers of the whole city, the enemy repeatedly returned in vain.

Lu Xing looked at Wu Jun, who had been defeated again, and couldn't help laughing.

"Guys, they can only be arrogant for a few more days! Our reinforcements are coming! ”

The walls of the city have long been in shambles.

A few days ago, the soldiers were willing to shout after him, but now, they didn't even have the strength to celebrate, panting, lying on the city wall, unable to speak for a long time.

Although the walls here are strong enough and the reserve strength is not weak, the difference in numbers is still too great.

The size of the rebel army following Lu Xing was only more than 3,000 people, and when the Wu people did not react, they could break through several cities in a row and set off a great momentum, but after the enemy gathered, they were not enough.

After all, they are only local defense forces, and they can't even compare with foreign armies.

Under the strong attack of the enemy, they lost the territory they had captured one by one, and now they can only resist hard in this place.

Lu Xing saw the exhaustion of everyone, in fact, he was also very worried.

It was very cool to kill the county guard at the beginning, but now it seems that it is still a little too reckless.

Lu Xing did not contact the Wei people in advance, nor did he arrange his henchmen, the result was that the early momentum of this army was very large, but the follow-up was powerless, no rescue, and no ability to resist the Wu army.

Lu Xing looked at the resting Wu troops in the distance, his eyes were a little dim.

If the Wei army still can't come in time, then their group will have to be explained here.

What Lu Xing didn't know was that Wen Qin was leading the army at the moment, and he fought with Shi Ji's army many times on the road from Jingnan to Jiaozhi County, and the rebellion in Jiaozhou directly disrupted the deployment of Lu Kang.

Lu Kang really hated those stupid pigs in the temple to the extreme, and even became dissatisfied with Emperor Sun Xiu.

Of course he knew that Sun Xiu was jealous of their big clans, but the problem was that the contradiction between the imperial power and the big clans could be solved in the future, and now that the enemy was about to break through the defense line, what checks and balances and suppression were you still playing in the rear? ?

The Jiaozhou Rebellion forced Lu Kang to divide his troops to reinforce him, he didn't think that these troops could stop Wen Qin, he just hoped to delay the other side and suppress the rebellion before the enemy arrived.

He also wrote a letter to the temple, hoping that the temple would send a large army to support as soon as possible.

But there are still disputes in the temple of Wu State.

Wen Qin is getting closer and closer to Jiaozhi at this moment, Shi Ji's army has been fighting for a long time, and its morale is almost collapsing.

At this moment, Lu Kang, who was sitting in Chaisang, looked at the more and more maps marked in front of him, his eyes were red, and he no longer had the calm and elegance of the past.

His hair was a little disheveled, his clothes were no longer so neat, and his front was full of all kinds of music and battle reports, and the marks on the map kept popping up like the troubles in his heart.

Lu Kang looked at the map in front of him.

"It's broken, it's broken, Jiaozhou is going to be lost."

The deputy general on the side looked at Lu Kang, who was muttering to himself, and hurriedly said: "General, the army of the temple is about to arrive in Jiaozhou, and it will not come out."

"You know what?!"

Lu Kang was very angry, his face was red at the moment, "Why don't you listen to me?" Even if it's just to listen to it once?! ”

"When they were asked to abandon the plains, they had to defend to the death, let them reduce their conscription, they had to force the people to rebel, and now, I asked them to send troops to fight, and they had to wait a month before sending troops!!"

"It's late!! Do they think that Wei is also delaying like them?! ”

"Jianye's army is going to Jiaozhou, so don't the army of Biqiu Jian know to attack Jianye?"

"It's late! The nation is about to perish in the midst of these people's infighting! ”

Lu Kang is really aggrieved at the moment.

Since the start of the war, even if the temple of Wu Guo can listen to him once, the situation will not be bad to the point where it is now.

Lu Kang obviously knew what the other party was going to do, and he also knew how to deal with it, but unfortunately, it was because the people above did not allow it, which led to many defeats, and the arrogant Lu Kang obviously couldn't accept such a result.

If the other party is really much stronger than him and beats him, Lu Kang will not be dissatisfied, but he can't do it.

But now, he can clearly see the other party's plan, but he is still beaten, or because of the problems on his side, which makes Lu Kang unacceptable.

At this moment, he looked coldly at the lieutenant general on the side.

Lu Kang slowly packed up his clothes and straightened his hair with his hands.

"You go back now, inform Your Majesty, let him dispose of Puyangxing, and then gather the naval armies from all over the country to resist the Wei people, let Zhang Bu stay in the city, let Wu Yan and other veterans lead the troops, and don't let them break through Jianye."

The deputy general looked at Lu Kang, his face a little panicked.

"General this"

"Just go back and tell Your Majesty, if he listens, it's fine, if he doesn't"

Lu Kang didn't continue, but the adjutant general had already smelled something.

He turned around and left here in a panic, and just after he left, Lu Kang's military commander Shi stepped forward and sighed, "The general is only afraid that you will be hated by His Majesty from now on." ”

This deputy general's surname is Sun, and he is also from the clan, and Sun Xiu sent this person here, mainly to monitor Lu Kang.

And Lu Kang's words were almost all intimidating the emperor, and Sun Xiu could use this excuse to execute him.

But Lu Kang doesn't care at all now.

He said very calmly: "I consider myself extremely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, since I came to meet the general, the Wei people have not been able to continue to advance for a long time, this time, if it is not for the rebellion in Jiaozhou, the war has already ended." ”

"But Your Majesty himself has to reuse people like Pu Yangxing, and has promoted many clans, most of these clans are incompetent, mediocre, and brutal, if Your Majesty thinks that these people are enough to achieve great things, then send someone to execute me as soon as possible."

"Anyway, if you go on like this, you will die at the hands of the enemy, since they are all dead, is there any difference in whose hands you die?"

Changshi was speechless for a moment.

Just a long sigh.

At this moment, Jianye was busy facing the Wei navy with great fanfare, Zhang Bu was in high spirits, and the warships gathered near Jianye, and then began to prepare to intercept the Wei navy.

It was at this time that Sun Xiu met with the adjutant general who had returned from Lu Kang.

The deputy general brought the news of Lu Kang, but only brought back the first half of the sentence, but did not inform the second half of the sentence.

But just the first half of the sentence made Sun Xiu's face darken.

Sun Xiu squinted his eyes and muttered for a long time, "Dismiss the official of Puyangxing, let him immediately return to the mansion to reflect on his mistakes, and let Zhang Bu stay in Jianye, don't go out, and use Wu Yanlai as the general of Zhenbei, and let him lead the naval army to meet the Cao army."

Surprisingly, Sun Xiu did not send someone to deal with Lu Kang, but followed Lu Kang's orders.

Sun Xiu couldn't see the bad situation, but the things that the emperor had to consider were obviously a little different from what Lu Kang, the general, considered, but Sun Xiu also knew that Lu Kang had been forced to this point, and if he continued to act according to his own ideas, he was afraid that before the enemy could win, the local clans would rebel first.

In order to appease these people, they can only nominally dispose of their favorite ministers to appease the anger of the public.

Repelled the enemy first.
