Lu Yan reluctantly resigned.

For a while, only Lu Xun and Sun Ru were left in the big tent.

Lu Xun comforted Sun Ru: "How come you can't calm down anymore?"

Sun Ru pursed her lips, "Bo Yan, you always say there will be a turning point, a turning point...but where exactly is the turning point?"

this…

Lu Xun was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know either..."

Sun Ruqi asked: "Then Sun Quan treats you like this, why...you...do you have to be so loyal to him?"

"Why?" Lu Xun was silent for a moment, he sighed, and then said: "The ancestor of the Lu family was the grandson of King Xuan of Qi, who was granted the title of Pingyuan County. From this, he got the surname of Lu, which was the Pingyuan Lu family. In the Han Dynasty, the ancestor Lu Lie This branch moved into Wu territory and was called the Lu family of Wu County and established itself in Jiangdong. In addition, Lu Hong, the prefect of Yingchuan, established the Lu family of Yingchuan and became a branch of the Lu family..."

"But time has passed, and there is no trace of their two groups. The fundamental reason is that they migrated... The clan cannot migrate easily. Once they migrate, the relationships, resources, energy, and generations of management will be in vain. Once the clan loses its roots, it will be like a tiger falling to the ground, and it will be worse than a pig or a dog. The Lu family cannot leave Wu Jun until the end...the last step!"

Lu Xun said a lot in one breath, and Sun Ru pursed her lips, "You mean, unless Soochow's surname is not Sun, otherwise...otherwise..."

call--

With a heavy exhale, Lu Xun muttered: "I'm betting, not just on a turnaround within this month, but also... on that although Wu Hou is cruel, Bu Zhi and Lu Meng won't stab him in the back. People, if they can speak for me, maybe... maybe there will be no improvement within this month, and the Lu family... still has a glimmer of hope!"

Sun Ru bit her lip: "That Lu Meng? That Bu Zhao...will they? Will they speak for us?"

This question just came up...

Lu Xun has not answered yet.

The sound of "——tapping" footsteps resounded again.

Lu Yan broke into the military tent again.

However, this time he seemed much more excited than the previous one.

"Didn't I let you go out? Why is Sheng back again?"

Lu Xun asked quickly, with reproach in his tone.

Lu Yan said excitedly: "Here it comes, the turning point is here... The urgent news came just now, the urgent news came... Lu Ji... Lu Ji was rescued, it was Cheng Bing... He rescued Lu Ji, and now, already

Passing the waterway, we are rushing back here. At most... we can reach Yulin in one day at most!"

"What?" Lu Xun stood up suddenly and looked at Lu Yan in disbelief.

His eyes gradually widened, and his pupils were filled with a color that was about to explode after being suppressed for a long time.

He still restrained himself and asked:

"Is this true?"

"Seriously! Tan Ma is right outside the door,"

Following Lu Yan's extremely affirmative answer, Lu Xun overturned the writing on the desk. He quickly took down Yu Lin's map from the wall hanging on one side and quickly unfolded it.

His eyes were piercingly focused on the map.

At this moment, the terrain of Yulin County seemed to have transformed into lines of attacking Lu Xun, destroying the ancients and destroying the ancients——

"Madam, get me my armor and sword——"

"Yan'er, please immediately inform the three armies on behalf of my father to prepare for war. When the Duke comes back tomorrow, it will be the day when our Lu family's army attacks Yulin County!"

"Here——"

Following Lu Yan's order, the Lu Family Army Village, which had been immersed for a long time, seemed to suddenly erupt.

In the originally silent military camp, a large number of sergeants began to come out of the camp, practicing assassination and climbing with high morale, shouting loudly: "Hey, ha! Hey! Ha! Kill!"

Sun Ru was also quite excited and put on the armor and sword for Lu Xun, and the two of them walked out of the military camp together.

When all the soldiers saw Lu Xun, they all saluted excitedly.

"Meet the general——"

This sound of fighting spirit was deafening.

Lu Xun knew that this was not because of the military order about to attack the city, but because the Lu family army knew that their patriarch Lu Ji was still alive and that their patriarch Lu Ji had been rescued by Lu Xun.

At this moment, Lu Xun's prestige among the Lu family army was unprecedented.

"My fellow soldiers, you have worked hard for the Lu family and to capture Jiaozhou—"

The three armies were silent for a moment, and suddenly they shouted in unison: "General Lu is brave, General Lu is brave, General Lu is brave—"

This deafening cry went up to the sky, shocking the sky.

Even the Jiaozhou spies lurking in the distance were startled by this momentum.

The shouts of the soldiers, like a warm current, cheered up Lu Xun for a long time, and he waved his sword.

The order was given: "Siege the city tomorrow and stage a siege formation today——"

The Lu Jiajun troops immediately gathered, changed their formations, and the situation was thunderous for a while.

Even Bu Zhao, who was staying here, couldn't help but walk out of the military tent when he heard the sound. He looked at the high-spirited momentum of the Lu family's army and sighed: "Are we finally going to attack the city?"

…

…

On the city tower of Yulin County, eight oxen crossbows were being arranged, a total of ten...

Shi Yi was still asking: "This thing looks so clumsy, and it requires hundreds of soldiers to operate. It seems so complicated, but is it possible?"

Shi Hui pointed to the bottom of the mountain range 800 steps ahead, "Uncle, don't worry, if the Lu Army dares to form an array there, I will be able to pierce their command podium with one arrow using this eight-oxen crossbow!"

Shi Hui's voice just fell...

Suddenly, a thunderous sound resounded, like the footsteps of tens of thousands of people resounding continuously, even causing endless echoes in the surrounding valleys.

"What is this sound? Go and find out quickly?" Shi Yi thought it was the enemy who was about to attack the city.

The scout flew away.

The entire Shijia army nervously held their weapons and stood ready...

Shi Hui also frowned and looked into the distance.

The spy rushed back: "Report to the general, Lu Xun is training troops on the other side, rehearsing the siege formation... It is not a real siege."

Shi Yi first breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of something terrifying. He grabbed the spy's shoulder and asked, "Lu Xun is rehearsing a siege formation? Did you see him personally commanding it? Rehearsing a siege formation?"

"It's...Lu Xun himself."

Shi Yi opened his eyes in disbelief and murmured: "Why is he practicing siege? Could it be... could it be..."

Sure enough, at this moment.

A messenger rushed over, "The governor of the seventh county asked the young man to bring a message to the general, and Lu Ji was rescued."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Yi seemed to be defeated and stepped back heavily...

It's like suddenly losing hope.

Shi Hui quickly asked: "Why is uncle so panicked?"

"I finally understand..." Shi Yi's tone trembled, "Why... why Lu Xun wanted to practice the siege formation? It turned out to be because Lu Ji was rescued. So... so... I'm afraid it won't be long before he really wants to

The siege is coming."

In stark contrast to Shi Yi's nervous mood, Shi Hui...

A sneer flashed across Shi Hui's lips:

"He's coming? If the Lu family's army dares to come, let's let him, Lu Xun, be buried here -"

…

…

Changsha County, in a wine shop.

Han Xuan, a loyal minister of Ji Han, invited Shi Xie's second disciple to come out to discuss matters.

There were dishes on the table, but no wine.

"There is no wine, and there is a banquet. I guess there is something important." This is not the first time that Shi met Han Xuan, because of the arms sales between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou.

The transportation of ordnance, the repair of waterways, and even... the counting of gold, Han Xuan's place is the first level.

The two saw each other almost every day and talked very much about each other.

After hearing what the scholar said, Han Xuan stroked his beard and took out a bamboo slip from his arms and a pair of jade pendants, which were placed on the table.

He opened his mouth and said, "Master Yunqi has given orders..."

"Is it ordnance? Or gold?" the scholar asked quickly. "What do these jade pendants and bamboo slips mean?"

Now in this troubled time, Shi just heard the news from Jiaozhou that Lu Ji, who was in good condition, could be "stolen". The situation in Jiaozhou can already be described as dangerous.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Baniu Crossbow has been the last life-saving straw for Jiaozhou.

There is no room for error!
