Chapter 154 Blood red and snow white

?Lu Rong asked someone to take the young leader Lu Xiuping to flee to the riverside, while he led his people to fight. In this hard and flat wilderness by the river, people could not run away from the four legs of a horse with two legs, so he wanted to buy time for his nephew.???

`

He recognized the flag that the word Zhou did not represent the Zhou army but had another meaning: they were soldiers of the Zhou family and elite troops of the Zhou family. There were many generals surnamed Zhou in the world, but this Zhou family made Lu Rong unforgettable, specifically, the Lu family unforgettable.

Eight years ago, the prefectures in Jiangbei were still in the territory of Chen State. General Zhou Jing, who was guarding Jiangbei, returned to the court under the imperial edict. Tian Longsheng, the governor of Dingzhou, took the opportunity to rebel into Northern Qi with the six prefectures and seven towns in Jiangbei. Zhou Jing was appointed by Emperor Chen as the governor of Jiangbei Road to lead troops to attack Tian Longsheng.

At that time, the governor of Bazhou was Tian Longsheng's confidant. As a local powerful man, the two Lu families also judged the situation and followed each other and became citizens of Qi. When Zhou Jiong led his army to attack Bazhou, his two families bit the bullet and sent tribe soldiers to assist in the war.

In that battle, an elite cavalry holding the Zhou flag broke into the right wing of the Lu family. It was as if it had entered a no-man's realm and instantly defeated them, and the entire army collapsed. Lu Rong watched with his own eyes the iron hooves of the opponent's cavalry ruthlessly trampling the people of the Lu clan.

It is pointed out that the Tian family had secretly surrendered to Chen's army at that time, so the opponent's attack direction was chosen by the Lu family. After this battle, the Lu family suffered heavy casualties and many families lost their father, husband, and son. From then on, the relationship between the Tian and Lu families fell sharply, and Lu Rong was deeply impressed by the Zhou Dynasty.

One of the few Lu clan riders met like moths to the fire and instantly dissipated like waves hitting the reef, and the enemy cavalry was already unstoppable.

"Shoot, shoot arrows!" Lu Rong commanded the few archers around him to shoot arrows. Suddenly, most archers surrounded the barracks and there were only a few people here. The distance of a hundred steps was not far away. In an instant, the enemy cavalry had rushed to the front.

A cavalry stabbed him with a horse spear. Lu Rong howled and threw the stone he had picked up temporarily at the opponent. Then he lifted his knife and rushed forward to chop the horse's legs. The cavalry first shook his body and avoided the unknown object coming. Then he swung his horse spear and stabbed Lu Rong in the shoulder when he was about to rush to the horse.

The head of the spear was sharp and sharp as a knife. It did not use any extra force just by relying on the horse's momentum, and it directly cut off Lu Rong's right arm from his shoulder and flew away. He was then knocked away by the war horse, falling into the snow like a kite with broken strings.

The bright red blood spurted out from the broken shoulder and Lu Rong fell so hard that his whole body could not move as if it had been dispersed. He watched the cavalry rush past him and flooded the remaining dozen guards.

"Run, Shuping...Run..."

Lu Rong was deeply saddened when he watched his nephew Cang running towards the riverside. Eight years ago, he watched his tribe die under the iron hoof of the Zhou family. Unexpectedly, the tragic incident happened again eight years later.

The snow-white snow on the ground in front of me was stained with his own blood. Lu Rong struggled unwillingly to get up and fight desperately, but he was already having difficulty breathing. Just now, his ribs seemed to be broken by the war horse. Every time he breathed, he felt heart-wrenching pain.?

?`

That year, it was the third brother Lu Rongjia, the chief of the Lu clan, who saved his life. Now he could only watch his third brother's son fleeing to the riverside helplessly.

The continuous sound of horns sounded in my ears, and the sound came from the direction of the military camp. Lu Rong knew that the garrison that had been dormant was starting to dispatch and the doomsday of the Lu clan soldiers was about to come.

Another sound of horse hooves sounded and got closer. Lu Rong turned his head and saw several cavalry galloping towards him. Before his head was broken by horse hooves, he saw many cavalry behind him.

......

Lu Xiuping ran to the riverside under the protection of his guards. As long as he got to the river, the pursuers behind them were helpless. The Lu family lived by the Yangtze River for generations and everyone was proficient in water, so it was safe to escape to the riverside.

He couldn't figure out what was wrong. The most important thing was why these cavalrymen under the command of Zhou Fashang, the governor of Hengzhou, appeared here.

Looking at the Zhou flag, he initially thought it was the Zhou army's military flag, but later he felt that it was different from the flag he saw on weekdays. With Lu Rong's expression, he thought of the possibility that he had thought about but rejected it before: reinforcements from Hengzhou.

The governor of Hengzhou Zhou Fashang, his father, came to Xiyang in the eighth year of Zhou Jing's army, and it was the Zhou Erlang who once led his troops to severely attack the Lu family, which made people remember it. The problem was not that the key was that the other party's appearance meant that things had changed and that it was a major change.

The opponent has a backhand, and this backhand is considered a killing knife. It is already very difficult for the Lu clan soldiers to stop the soldiers in the military camp to attack. In addition, these cavalry will only be defeated, and it is obvious what the opponent will do next.

The cavalry alone encircled Xiyang City was already a big variable, and the Tian family, who was feinting the attack outside the city, would definitely not be able to stop it. If the opponent rushed to the south gate with the assistance of the state soldiers, he would probably block King Shixing Chen Shuling in the city.

At that time, even if Yuwen Wen died, the situation could not be restored. Fortunately, they had a backup plan and Bahe City was urgently unable to conquer the other side on the east bank of the Bashui River. As long as they could cross the south, they could escape the disaster.

Lu Xiuping was thinking about being thrown to the ground by someone suddenly, but got up but appeared behind him to block an arrow for him. After he saw the man's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Sir, sir!"

The scribe was blocking the arrow. Now a feather arrow has penetrated his chest from behind to front, and blood seeped out, dyeing his front chest into a large red spot. Lu Xiuping's eyes were red and he wanted to pull him up and continue running, but was rejected by the other party.

"Don't worry about me, husband... run away..." The scribe said with all his strength, and he said that blood was overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and could no longer speak. Seeing this, Lu Xiuping wanted to go forward and take him away with him, but was pulled away by the guards.

"Mr.! It's too late if you don't run!"

Lu Xiuping looked at the sage who had died and felt like a knife. This was a well-educated scholar he had finally met. He was knowledgeable and proficient in human relations and worldly affairs, and was also very good at business management.????

?`I originally wanted to use it as a helping to strengthen the Lu family, but I didn't expect to die at this time.

How could this happen? How could this happen!

Before he could have time to feel sad, the pursuers were approaching. Seeing Jiang An just over ten steps away, the guards next to Lu Xiuping howled and turned around to fight back to buy time for the Lord, but then they were lifted away by the horse spear.

As soon as the rider rushed over, Lu Xiuping suddenly rolled away and avoided the sound. Then he got up and wanted to run forward, but was pulled down by a lasso. He howled and struggled hard but was dragged backwards.

"Catch you a coward!" A voice came, and Lu Xiuping, who was lying on the ground, looked upwards, but a young general was riding on a horse and looking down at him. He didn't have time to curse, but heard a wailing sound around him, struggling to sit up and look at him, but he saw a desolate scene:

In the wilderness outside the military camp, the Lu clan soldiers were chased by the cavalry like sheep. The soldiers who were originally dormant in the military camp have now swarmed out to kill the soldiers who were originally blocking the door. Some people fought hard to resist and were chopped on the spot. More people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The originally snow-white ground is now stained with mottled blood. Under the moonlight, the wilderness is covered with blood red and white.

Lost. The game he carefully planned lost in an instant. He thought he could lead his tribe members to achieve a brilliant victory, but now he brings them into a desperate situation.

These surprise soldiers should be the work of Yuwen Wen. Lu Xiuping has always regarded himself as a very arrogant and unruly Yuwen Wen. He felt that Yuwen Wen was just a fat pig with good fortune and good fortune. He just had a good life and was reincarnated in the royal family and could act as a mighty person. But now he was defeated by the hands of "this guy".

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Lu Xiu was roaring like a mad dog. He couldn't stand the miserable ending and stood up and wanted to be desperately stabbed by the young general in his abdomen with a spear pole so much that he knelt on the ground.

"I just broke my arm when I was a man who was disobed by a car. Why didn't you fight to the death just now?" Zhou Faming withdrew his horse spear and laughed. The captured young man on the ground seemed to be the leader of the Lu clan soldiers.

Just now, he led people to lurk in the wilderness and used the treasure Qianli Mirror given by Bazhou Governor Yuwen as the "deposit" to see clearly. This guard surrounded the man and whispered Fang Qiu. It was a character who was so arrogant that he ran directly to the riverside. It was so boring.

Since Yuwen Shiwu was teased by Yuwen Wen for too much, Zhou Faming became more and more "poisonous". He was about to "train" the people in front of him, but people around him reminded him to block his mouth to avoid gossiping.

"Let the prisoners come to recognize if it's Lu Xiuping." After Zhou Faming said that, the horse turned over and was about to continue to beat the dog in the water, but he saw more than ten cavalry galloping towards him. At this time, there were cavalrymen who dared to approach him, so he and the people around him were calm.

"I'm...oh, Zhou Sanlang!" The first person told himself that the house was stopped abruptly. He was Yuwen Wen's "confident servant" Yuwen Shiwu.

"Oh, isn't this the Lord of Yuwen Zhuang?" Zhou Faming, who was originally full of heroism, suddenly became slick. He was thinking about how to talk about the other party's sarcastic words, but he heard the other party ask about the situation. If there was no problem, he would start the next step.

"Uh, it's really okay if you don't let me wait for reinforcements in Xiyang City?" Zhou Faming asked. Yuwen Shiwu also looked back at Xiyang City where the fire flashed, then shook his head and said no.

"It's true or false, Yuwen envoy, don't play with fire and burn yourself!"

"If there is no signal, it means that the task is done. Besides, the Lord Chen has sent troops there. You know Master Shi Zhuang's martial arts...hehe." Yuwen Shiwu replied discontently.

"Do you have your troops to do it? Don't miss it. It's cold and the ground is frozen. Don't be frozen and we have to save it." Zhou Faming began to talk viciously.

"Don't panic, I can't steal the limelight from my brothers!" Yuwen Shiwu sneered several times.

Lu Xiuping was first confused and then shocked when he heard the conversation between the two: these soldiers didn't have to go to the city to reinforce, so what did they want to do! An idea emerged in Lu Xiuping's heart and was shocked. He looked up to the east and saw the cavalry driving his defeated tribe members to run towards Bakou.

‘Falling in troubled waters... They are going to attack Bahe City!’ Lu Xiuping figured out the key and made a whimper. Yuwen Shiwu glanced at him for a moment and then asked in surprise: “Isn’t this Lu Langjun? Such a coincidence?”

......

On the wall of Bahe City, Lu Rongjia, the chief of the Lu clan, looked at the wilderness on the other side of the Bashui River, and was anxious. His son Lu Xiuping and his clan soldiers surrounded the new army camp of Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou, was progressing smoothly, but he did not expect that the surprise situation would be reversed halfway.

If you really can't do it, you can immediately cross the river and head south to your new home on the other side to settle down. Whether King Chen Shuling of Shixing can kill Yuwen Wen, he doesn't care whether his son Lu Xiuping can withdraw safely.

Lu Xiuping was the most promising among his sons and the future chief, so Lu Rongjia had high hopes for him. This cooperation with Chen Shuling, the king of Shixing, his hometown, was also a decision made by the clan after his son analyzed the interests.

The defeated soldiers who fled back in a panic rushed to the Bashui River before the chasing cavalry slashed down. Although the river was cold in the middle of winter, this was not a problem for the Lu clans who grew up on the riverside since childhood. Many wet clan soldiers swam across the Bashui River and climbed onto the shore and swam into the Ximen. Lu Rongjia looked at him for a long time but could not see his son and younger brother Lu Rong.

An ominous premonition came to his heart. He didn't dare to think deeply, but kept muttering the Buddha's blessing in his heart. At this moment, someone called the sect leader at the entrance of the city. He listened and said something about the man who asked him to pass the message.

Lu Rongjia couldn't wait for someone to come up to ask questions, so he poked his head out on the wall and asked the husband what was wrong. When the other party heard this, he suddenly raised his hands and broke through the air and then heard several crossbow arrows shooting Lu Rongjia into a cold heart.

Suddenly, the Lu clan soldiers were present. Before they could react, some people in the crowd were unable to draw their swords and slash their mouths. They kept shouting about the chaotic situation near the city gate. The soldiers who finally escaped here rushed to the city regardless of their own efforts to squeeze out the guards who wanted to close the door.

"Don't panic, block the people you don't know first...ah!" Someone who woke up quickly wanted to maintain order but was stabbed down. The meticulous works mixed in the crowd could not kill the guards in the doorway and blocked the gate. Suddenly, the soldiers who had just escaped from the West Bank were still in shock and were only concerned about hiding in the city where they could still think of resisting.

The archers on the top of the city wanted to shoot arrows, but the crowds of people were crowded with people in the night. I was in chaos and I didn’t know how many people were scrambling into the city. Not only were the city gates chaotic, but there were also people on the top of the city holding swords and killing them in chaos.

"It's the pursuers, the pursuers have crossed the river!" Someone shouted in panic. Everyone looked back and saw that many soldiers on the other side of the Bashui River were carrying bamboo rafts down the shore and putting them into the water. Some were directly passing by and some were building a floating bridge.

It doesn't matter. What makes people even more frightened is still behind. A flag stood up opposite the river. On it, the elders of a clan changed their face when they saw the flag: "It's Zhou... it's the soldiers of the Zhou family!"

The soldiers of the Zhou family are well-known to the Lu clan. There are still many soldiers who have experienced the disaster eight years ago. The second son of the God of Killing Zhou Fashang, now leads the soldiers of the Zhou family to take office in Hengzhou. It is not impossible for the other party to lead the troops here.

The people of the Lu clan learned that it was the Zhou family's troops who killed in the city gate were frightened. The Zhou family's troops who had already drawn their swords at the city gate were yelling to surrender and not kill them. The soldiers who were fearless and fearless were all cut down on the spot. Those troops only needed to guard the city gate for a while and then the subsequent reinforcements could be taken up.

Their ancestors followed Zhou Qiang, the governor of Liangzhou of Southern Qi, to resist the Northern Army, and their fathers followed the second generation of Langzhu, Zhou Lingqi, the general of Zhige of Southern Liang, to attack the barbarians of Guizhou.

They followed the third generation of Langzhu, Zhou Jing, the prefect of Xiyang in Nanliang, to fight back against Hou Jing's rebels who had caused trouble to the Southern Dynasty. They followed the governor of Jiangzhou Zhou Jing, who was about to usurp the Liang Dynasty. They followed Zhou Jing, the governor of Anzhou in Chen State, to conquer Ba and Qizhou in Jiangbei. They followed the general Zhou Jing, the general of Rongwei, to pacify the Huajiao Rebellion in Ba and Xiangzhou.

They followed Zhou Jing, the commander of Jiangbei Road, to quell the Tian Longsheng Rebellion in the Six Prefectures of Jiangbei, and followed Zhou Jing's second son, and the fourth-generation Langzhu Zhou Fashang defeated Chen army several times his own, crossed the river and went north to join the Zhou State. Now they followed his brother Zhou Faming to quell the Bazhou Rebellion and met with his defeated general Lu again.

"Surrender and not kill, surrender and not kill!!"

The shouts echoed over Bahe City. The flames gradually ignited in the small city will make Zhou Faming, who is standing on the west bank of Bashui, look red in his face. Watching the blood of the Zhou family in his body successfully fight the blood of the bandits.
