Lu Jinhe let out a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether his fifth son is a fighting general or not, the immediate crisis has been temporarily resolved.

However, the crisis of the Lu family has not completely passed. When the son corrects himself and ascends the throne of Wu, the Lu family may have to bleed again if they want to survive this crisis. If one of them is not handled well, it is not impossible for the Lu family to be removed from the Wu Kingdom.

.

However, no matter what happens tomorrow, with a buffer today, there is room for change.

Although Gongzi Yuan was assassinated, the power behind him was actually extremely huge. There were many supporters in the court, and the military power was even more entrenched. Otherwise, there would be no intention to compete for the throne of King Wu.

Now that Gongzi Yuan is dead, there is no hope of a complete comeback, but as long as these people can connect with each other in time to protect each other, even if Gongzi Jiu ascends to the throne of Wu King, he will not dare to do anything to everyone - according to Lu Jinhe's estimation, Gongzi Jiu

It is very possible to grant amnesty to the world and let things go by the wayside.

Thinking of this, Lu Jinhe quickly summoned people and ordered people to send news to the important ministers and officers of the Young Master Yuan Yifang - maybe some people already knew the news, and some people had been controlled or even killed by the Young Master Jiu Yifang, but as long as one of them

If some people can react, everyone will not be completely helpless.

Of course, Lu Jinhe still had some dark thoughts.

As long as a few of these people start making trouble, there will definitely be chaos in Songjing. It will not be so noticeable that fat men like the Lu family, who are rich but not powerful and do little harm, take the opportunity to run away - as for the chaos in Songjing, it will be fatal.

How many people there are, but I can't take care of them.

Just after issuing a few orders, Lu Wu was heard shouting from downstairs: "Father, nothing happens here. I'm going to Uncle Lin's house to have a look."

"Xiao Wu, your Uncle Lin is not at home. He is stuck in Changshui Camp. You should go directly to Changshui Camp to have a look." Lu Jinhe didn't have time to go downstairs, so he shouted from upstairs.

——This is what the soldiers Lin Ji sent to call the police not long ago said.

"I understand. Father, please be careful. If the situation is not good, take the three mothers to Wutong Manor for shelter. Qiutong and the others are there to keep everyone safe."

Lu Wu said hastily, and the Black God let go of his four hooves. The sound of the horse's hooves was like a torrential rain, and he was gone in the blink of an eye.

Lu Jinhe was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Could it be that even those maids Qiu Tong -"

Changshuiying.

Inside the cavalry camp and outside the infantry camp, the two sides faced each other across the camp gate.

The cavalry did not dare to rush out, and the infantry did not dare to charge in.

Lin Ji was appointed as the captain of Changshui, one of the five captains of Songjing, responsible for commanding the suburban cavalry.

The so-called suburban cavalry refers to a mobile strike force responsible for public security outside Songjing City, including the surrounding five prefectures and thirty-nine counties, specifically to deal with major incidents.

Changshui Camp has two thousand men and horses, all of them cavalry.

Over the years, Wu Wang Kechu's health gradually declined, but for some unknown reason, he never decided on a successor.

The second son of King Wu, Gongzi Jiu, and the third son of King Wu, Gongzi Yuan, both had hopes of inheriting the throne, and both sides tried their best to ascend to the throne.

It may not be that they themselves want to fight against each other, but that the forces behind both sides have invested too much and cannot allow them to take a step back.

Young Master Jiu has deep roots in Songjing. His biological mother is Princess Li Ji of Chu, and his uncle is Xiangtong, the current king of Chu. He has many supporters of the peace faction;

Gongzi Yuanze is the main war faction. He has a huge power in the military. His biological mother is Princess Mingji of Yue Kingdom, and his wife is the daughter of Wu General Luo Gan. He even personally stationed in Dingshui City and led his army to fight against Chu.

In fact, when the news came out that Wu Wang Kechu was in poor health, Prince Yuan managed to relinquish the responsibility of commanding the army and returned to Songjing.

Lin Ji and others were all subordinates of Gongzi Yuan, and they were transferred back to Songjing by Gongzi Yuan one after another in order to compete for the military power in Songjing.

However, something happened suddenly today. We were lagging behind. The dignified cavalry commander was unexpectedly blocked by a group of infantrymen at the camp gate.

"Hahaha, Colonel Lin, come and have a drink. Why do you have to look so grim?" Colonel Shesheng Lu Guang laughed. He raised his glass to Captain Lin Ji of Changshui through the camp gate and invited him to drink.

The two have a grudge against each other, and the winner is always elated.

"Sir, how about we charge?" a soldier behind him said angrily.

Lin Ji shook his head: "Wait a moment, the news has been sent out, there may be changes."

The cavalry attack does restrain the infantry, but it also depends on the situation.

Now the opponent is well prepared, with spears, oars and shields arrayed in front, and strong crossbows and bows to protect their positions. However, the camp gate is only a little big. Not to mention that the suburban cavalry are all light cavalry, and even the heavy armored cavalry cannot charge through it.

open.

"Colonel Lin, if you wait any longer, my lord, Prince Kejiu, will ascend the throne." Lu Guang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and said loudly.

He had a personal vendetta against Lin Ji, so it would be best if he could kill Lin Ji here. But he brought only a thousand men, so it was okay to form a formation to block the door. If he wanted to rush into Changshui Camp, the defense formation would be in chaos.

If the opponent takes the opportunity to rush out, it will be difficult to determine the outcome.

Lin Ji's eyes darkened.

Young Master Yuan is dead, and these people have lost their righteousness. Even if they can really kill him today, what will happen? Can the overall situation be saved?

But just give up, not to mention your own wealth and life, the future of the subordinates brought back from the border is also worrying, it is good to save their lives.

What's more, Gongzi Yuan was kind to me. After he died, he still had two young sons, so I should try my best to preserve his bloodline.

"Lu Chen, let's form a formation to confront him here. You can take some people and go to the back to see if you can tear down a section of the wall." Lin Ji whispered to his deputy.

"Sir, we have all seen it just now. There is a ranger patrolling every thirty meters outside, so there is no chance of a sneak attack." Army Commander Lu Chen said with a bitter smile.

The two looked at each other, both at a loss.

"Who is it? Get off your horse and get tied up!" Someone outside suddenly shouted.

"Ah——" a scream.

"The Shesheng camp has been ordered by the King of Wu to act here. Don't try to collide with us when you come!" Immediately afterwards, someone else shouted.

"Fire the arrow!"

"Third spear formation - look out!"

Screams come one after another

"Kill--" someone roared.

The originally neat formation of the Shesheng Battalion became a little chaotic, and some of the crossbowmen lined up on both sides to suppress the formation turned their crossbows and pointed them backward.

"The first team of the first battalion, charge into the formation!" Seeing that the opponent's position was wavering, Lin Ji immediately shouted.

Wu's army was organized into groups of ten, five groups to a team, and a team of fifty riders.

It's not that Lin Ji didn't want to part with his elite men, but the camp gate was so big that it could only accommodate ten cavalry in parallel. Fifty cavalry had to be divided into several batches, and more troops couldn't be put in together.

Although he didn't know what happened, but the opportunity was rare now, Lin Ji had to fight for it no matter what, and he couldn't just sit back and die.

"As you command!"

Kong Ming, the leader of the first team, shouted in response and roared away with his men.

The light cavalry charged head-on into the spear formation and scull shield, which was almost a fatal situation.
