The soldiers of Soochow had already been deprived of food. They had been hungry for a long day and had spent a lot of energy setting up camp. At this time, they just wanted to lie on the ground and wait for dinner, and had no intention of going down to the river to take a bath.

August has already entered autumn, and the Soochow troops were stationed by the river. The climate was cool, so there was no need to bathe in the river to relieve the heat. Zhu Ju mobilized only a hundred people to the river for a long time, but they only washed their faces and feet.

Going down to the river to catch fish? It’s almost dark, and I’m afraid I won’t catch the fish, and in the end I’ll be too exhausted to get up, and instead I’ll end up in a nest of human flesh.

Lu Ju's brother Lu Xian died early. He was the legitimate son of the heir of the Lu family at this time. When he saw that his words were taken as farts, he felt a little upset for a moment, so he called his personal guards and forcibly drove the soldiers into the river.

What started as a voluntary act became a forced act.

This drive was too much, and the hungry soldiers were already resentful, so as they walked towards the river, some people gradually began to boo in the crowd, and the matter of the family letter spread like a virus.

When everyone heard that Jianye had fallen and family letters were burned, the soldiers who had been driven to catch fish stopped. Under the leadership of several army commanders, they in turn questioned Lu's provisions and family letters.

"Do you want to rebel if you disobey orders? If you dare to take another step forward, you will be killed without mercy." Upon seeing this, Lu Ju became furious and raised his sword to threaten the resisting soldiers.

"Why didn't the general dare to answer? What happened to Jianye? Why did the rations have to be halved for these two days? Why do we have to withdraw our troops?" the leading army commander, Ma Zhou'an, asked like a barrage of questions.

Lu Ju replied in a deep voice: "How can a small army commander ask about these situations? Zhou An, I will give you another chance, either you execute the order, or I will execute the military law."

Zhou An sneered: "The official position of a general is very humble, but if my family is gone and food is now a problem, do you think I still care about military law?"

"If someone below Zhou An commits a crime, I'll take it down immediately."

Lu Ju shouted loudly, and the guards next to him rushed out immediately. Zhou An did not sit still and waited for death. He drew his sword and rushed forward.

The soldiers under Zhou An felt the same way. They had no strength to catch fish now. When they saw the army commander resisting, the blood in their bodies drove their bodies again. Hundreds of people shouted and attacked Lu Zhi's guards.

"These beasts really rebelled."

Lu Ju was horrified. He handed the scene to the guards and crawled towards the main tent. The situation was out of his control. At this time, he could only rely on his father, Lu Fan, to turn the tide.

At this time, in the main tent, Lu Fan summoned all the generals in the army to discuss matters. He solemnly reported the news that Yichun might be lost and that the army was out of food, but he never talked about the letter home.

When everyone looked at each other, Lu Fan continued to encourage everyone, "According to the information I received, there are only a few thousand rebels in Yichun City. We and General Zhu still have 50,000 troops. It should be easy to recapture Yichun. You must restrain the peace."

Please comfort each other and don't listen to those false rumors. The current difficulties are temporary."

The matter of the family letter was widely circulated, and several generals were already aware of it. At this time, Lu Fan mainly wanted to appease the Yichun defenders, and deliberately made the Yichun defenders look bad.

"The key is who occupied Yichun? Why didn't we know anything about it beforehand?" Sun Song asked puzzledly.

Lu Fan stroked his beard and replied seriously: "It is said that Luo Tong was instigated by Lantian to rebel and led foreign enemies to seize the city. I will kill him after the city is broken."

"Luo Gongxu only had two or three thousand soldiers, and the two generals Zhu had nearly ten thousand troops, but they couldn't get it back? They could still take a detour to Nanchang, why did they stop there and wait for us? Yichun is Gongda (Sun Neighbor) Yuzhang

Under his rule, he knows that there is rebellion in his territory, and he will never sit idly by and ignore it." Sun Song raised the question again.

Sun Song inherited Sun Yi's cheerful character, loved to make friends with others, and was willing to do good deeds. He was the most loved by Sun Quan among the clan's children, so Lu Fan had to answer one by one.

"Uh... we'll talk about the specific situation when we get there. It was already dusk when Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan) arrived last night. He might be worried about being attacked while walking around the city, and he also wanted to ask me for instructions..." Lu Fanxin said, don't ask anymore.

, if you ask me again I won’t be able to make it up.

Seeing Sun Song nodding slightly, Lu Fan thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Liu Dun refused to open any pot, "General Lu, the matter of the family letter is widely circulated, and it is said in a decent manner. What kind of Zhang?"

Zibu led his troops to surrender, and Gan Xingba captured Chaisang City. Should we also check it out? If Yichun is really Gan Ning's army, then the rear might really be in chaos..."

Lu Fan made a serious face and said, "I already told you that those are rumors. Ziren is a wise man, why do you follow the rumors? Lantian is known as Xuan Owl, how can we Jiangdong suffer less in his hands?"

"Uh..." Seeing that Lu Fan was angry, Liu Dun quickly kept silent and did not dare to say anything.

When Sun Song heard the word "Lantian", he suddenly stood up excitedly. He quickly asked: "General, since Lantian has incited Luo Tong to rebel, he should know that our army is about to run out of food. There is no reason for him not to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, right?"

"This..." Lu Fan didn't know how to respond for a moment, and all the generals in the tent had solemn faces.

Just as Lu Fan was thinking about countermeasures, a loud noise outside the tent interrupted his thoughts. Quan Cong stood up with a look of horror on his face: "Lantian's pursuers have arrived?"

Lu Fan was startled when he heard this, and immediately ran towards the tent door with his generals. When he heard the sound coming from the river in the east, his nervous heart immediately calmed down a bit, because the pursuers could not appear from the river.

Everyone paused for a moment, only to see Lu Ju coming on horseback, stopping outside the main tent and turning over. He nervously clasped his fists and reported, "Father, two battalions of soldiers have mutinied and rebelled. The boy's guards are resisting in the east."

"Whose part is it? Who takes the lead?" Lu Fan asked with a frown.

"Uh..." Lu Ju glanced at Song Qian next to him, and then replied: "They are from General Song. The leader of the mutiny is Army Sima Zhou'an."

"General Song, did you hear that?" Lu Fan turned around with an angry look on his face.

Song Qian asked in shock: "Can't you? Zhou Sima is loyal and modest, so he shouldn't..."

"In front of all the generals, could I falsely convey news?" Lu Ju interrupted seriously and responded sternly.

"Uh... I will take care of it right away..." Song Qian clasped his fists in embarrassment and left.

Lu Fan's anger did not diminish, and he ordered Quan Cong: "General Song is old and may not be able to handle it well. Zihuang, you and Shi Yi (Lü Ju) will go to help. Those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed without mercy."

"Wei." Quan Cong and Lu Zhi clasped their fists at the same time.

The sounds of chaos and fighting sing together with the roaring river water.

The mutiny of hundreds of people in Zhou An was not worth mentioning among the tens of thousands of troops. They were quickly suppressed and executed on the river beach, and finally their bodies were thrown into the water and became food for fish.

Once the resistance started, the seeds were planted in everyone's hearts. Until it was completely resolved, Lu Fan would never have a peaceful life again.
