"Zhengcheng, Zhengcheng, you are here! It's really a pain to fight every day!"

Lu Daan probably never enjoyed such courtesy as Lu Zhaoqi in his life. Although both of them were surnamed Lu and were from Fengjun, Huaixi, they were not related by blood. The so-called brotherhood was just a need for the Lu family generals to unite people, just like Chen Dexing became sworn brothers at Qionghua Tower. Otherwise, Lu Daan would not have served as Lu Zhaolin's personal army with Chengjie's official rank. Of course, this is related to the fact that Lu Daan had never performed outstandingly in his thirty years in the army. This Chengjie's official rank was obtained by Lu Zhaolin's grace and half by hard investigation. However, today, before he reached the second gate, Lu Zhaoqi, the number one figure in the Lu family generals, had already rushed to more than ten steps outside the second gate!

This Lu Zhaoqi, the Zuowu doctor of the Song Dynasty, the governor of Daozhou, the commander of the Xiongsheng Army and the commander of the Wurui Army, did not take any followers, and then strode out in a meteor. He was wearing a public uniform and a narrow-winged gauze hat. It was obvious that he had just returned from the military affairs of Fushi. However, his face was not very good-looking, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.

Yesterday's battle was indeed worthy of sadness and tears for the Lu family's generals. Lu Zhaolin, one of the two generals of one family, was killed in battle, and dozens of them followed the Lu family's brothers who died in battle. One of the two pillars supporting the Lu family's generals had collapsed. Although Jia Sidao asked Lu Zhaoqi to temporarily take over the Wu Rui army commander, everyone knows that Lu Zhaoqi is really just a temporary generation, and there is no possibility of being a member of the two generals.

Before yesterday, the Lu family, which was second only to the Lu family and Xia family among the generals in the Huai River, had already embarked on the downhill road! If the family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family was second-generation, who was the second generation of the Lu family who died yesterday, was the successor of Lu Zhaoqi in the plan! Seeing that the generals who had been working hard for half their life to support it suddenly became weak, how could Lu Zhaoqi not be haggard and famine? Just now, he was still nervous and did not show up at Jia Sidao. Now he returned to his home's mansion, but he suddenly exuded it!

Several Xiongsheng Army guards on duty outside the second gate also looked heartbroken at this moment, as if their father had died! In fact, it was not much different. They were all Lu Zhaoqi's adopted sons! At this time, in the army, the comrades directly formed brothers and fathers and sons between the upper and lower levels were commonplace.

When Lu Da'an and Liang Chongru, who were here, took a deep breath when they saw Lu Zhaoqi's appearance and wanted to salute deeply. However, Lu Zhaoqi could not tolerate them to salute and grabbed the two of them: "Zhengcheng, Yifu, why are you still making trouble at this time? What's the situation in the army? Let's talk about it quickly!"

Lu Daan was a little stunned and at a loss. Liang Chongru glanced left and right, and Lu Zhaoqi also reacted and calmed down a little. Holding the hands of the two, he strode into the second door and hurriedly headed straight to the hall. His pace was so fast that Liang Chongru, a scholar in his prime, could not keep up!

Lu Da'an walked into the hall, and before he could stand firm, he loudly ordered his personal soldiers and servants: "No one is allowed to stay, let someone leave the second door!"

With this shout, the personal soldiers of the Xiongsheng Army and the servants of the Lu family who had arranged the mourning hall in the hall immediately scattered. The Lu family is now at an extraordinary moment, who dares to touch the bad habit of this old army?

After sending out the idle people, Lu Zhaoqi could no longer hold on. He held Lu Daan's hand and two lines of tears fell. Lu Daan was originally a person with no opinions, otherwise he would not have been directed by Chen Dexing, who was over 20 years younger than him on the battlefield yesterday. Seeing Lu Zhaoqi crying, he just cried loudly.

Seeing the two older martial artists doing this, Lu Zhaoqi's son-in-law, the famous scholar Liang Chongru couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the generals are rising rapidly, they are declining in an instant! A bloody battle can break the backbone of the generals! However, this is not a bad thing for him. If there is no martial artist in the second generation of the Lu family who can succeed, he can only place his hope of maintaining the wealth of the family on his own. The scholar and the military, and the Jinshi, is not impossible even if he is a priest...

He took a deep breath and whispered: "Old Taishan, the Wu Rui army is very uneasy now... Chen Dexing, who led the members of the people to make meritorious contributions yesterday, was busy forming gangs, hoping to use military merit to promote twenty-one close Red Army Han to be officials. Today, he went to the Fushi Office to meet Liao Yingzhong and the Privy Councillor's Grandpa..."

Lu Zhaoqi couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. His old face was a little gloomy and his expression was changing. It can be seen that at this time, I don't know how many thoughts were fluctuating in his heart!

"I actually met the Privy Councillor! Could it be that the Privy Councillor really thought that the more than 600 beheadings obtained by the Wu Rui army yesterday were all the credits of Chen Dexing... There were 13 people in the Lu family who died for the country. Why should all the credits be paid for by the Lu family?"

He suddenly froze there and murmured to himself. There is no doubt that the Lu family's generals paid a huge price in yesterday's bloody battle. It would have been fine if there were no more than 600 beheadings... But now with such a huge contribution, shouldn't the Lu family share a lot? If all of them were swallowed by Chen Dexing, the underdog, wouldn't the Lu family become a stepping stone for Chen Dexing's rise? How could this make people feel relieved?

"What does Privy Master mean?" Lu Zhaoqi murmured to himself for a while before he realized. The key now is Jia Sidao! The Wu Rui army is not the Xiongsheng army that the Lu family has been in charge for many years, but Jia Sidao. Li Tingzhi has newly recruited a team. The Lu family has not had a deep foundation in the Wu Rui army, and after this loss...

Jia Sidao summoned Chen Dexing, probably because he wanted to take over Wu Ruijun!

"The Lord Privy Councilor has not agreed to do so, there is still a dispute about this matter." Liang Chongru waved his hand suddenly: "How was the credit for yesterday's battle alone? How could my family's Lu Zhengcheng rank is above him, so how could he not be the first to be the best?"

Lu Daan, who was standing beside him, was stunned when he heard this and looked at Lu Zhaoqi. He was going to push him out to compete for merit and power with Chen Dexing! But how could he compete for Chen Dexing? If it weren't for Chen Dexing's courage and strategy yesterday, his life would have been sent by the river of security...

Moreover, the more than 600 soldiers who came out of the bloody sea of ​​corpses and blood that followed Chen Dexing back from the battlefield have been won over by Chen Dexing with sweet words. How could he fight with him? Besides, what he wants to fight for is not a primary merit...but to take the credit of those red guys for those Lu family generals who have not been in battle at all!

Just when Lu Da'an didn't know how to answer, Liang Chongru next to him suddenly reminded again: "Old Taishan, the Wu Rui army made great contributions in this battle yesterday. These more than 600 heads and more than 40 war horses can beat more than 20 officials! The generals of Yangzhou army probably looked up to their heads..."

Lu Zhaoqi was stunned, "They?"

Liang Chongru nodded and whispered: "Everyone wants to get a share of the pie, this public anger is hard to break!"

Lu Zhaoqi snorted coldly, "Do it! Distribute it to them, but the big head must be obtained by our Lu family!"

...

"You can't share! These contributions are earned by the brothers with their lives. Why do you want those generals to share them in vain? If they want to make contributions, they will take the battle and kill a few Tartars themselves!"

At the same time, in the Wu Rui army camp, Chen Dexing was also discussing the same thing with Monk Liu.

"Erlang, this time the credit is too great. I don't know how many people in Yangzhou City have red eyes!"

"So what?" Chen Dexing sneered, "In order to make clear the main rewards and punishments, we must do what we say and do what we do. Only then can we order the three armies, and only then will the soldiers sacrifice their lives to die!"

"But this makes people angry!"

"Hmph, if the public anger can retreat to the 100,000 Northern Barbarian Army outside Yangzhou City, it would be better if these contributions were not needed!"

"Erlang, can you have a way to retreat the army outside Yangzhou?"

"Of course!" Chen Dexing nodded with certainty.

"Then Erlang will go to Fushi to offer his advice tomorrow..."
