Chapter 440: The Inspector who abandoned the city and fled
In the mansion of the governor of Liangzhou, Lu Hao was sleeping soundly with a new concubine in his arms.
Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, followed closely by the sound of banging on the door.
"President Lu, Prefect Lu, it's not good! It's not good!"
Lu Hao and Xin Na's concubine were both awakened on the bed. Xin Na's concubine squirmed dissatisfiedly in Lu Hao's arms, stretched out her delicate jade fingers, and pinched Lu Hao's waist hard.
Lu Hao opened his mouth in pain and sucked in a breath of cold air. He suddenly had no pajamas anymore.
Lu Hao was very angry. He just wore a pair of underwear and kicked it. He yanked the door open and kicked it in.
How could the boy reporting the news expect this?
He was directly kicked by Lu Hao.
Lu Hao cursed and said: "It's so early in the morning, what about you after the funeral? Tell me quickly, is the sky falling, or is your father dead? If you can't tell me how ugly you are, I'll see if I don't beat you to death today!"
"
The boy who was kicked down by Lu Hao didn't know whether his ribs were broken by this kick, and he was rolling on the ground in pain.
Hearing Lu Hao's question, he did not dare to neglect, and said with a sad face: "Prefect Lu, it's not good, Tuyuhun's army has already invaded the city, and I'm afraid they will soon reach the governor's mansion!"
"What?"
After hearing the news, Lu Hao was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"Mom, why didn't you tell your mother about such a big thing earlier?"
Lu Hao was shocked and angry. He stood up and rushed into the house quickly. He threw on a few clothes at random, grabbed a handful of clothes, and ran out.
His new concubine obviously heard the news and was trembling with fear.
He reluctantly put on a coat, not caring about the leaked beauty, ran up and grabbed Lu Hao's hand, and said delicately: "Husband, take me with you."
As a result, Lu Hao turned around and kicked him to the ground. Lu Hao cursed and said: "Bitch! Get away from me!"
After getting rid of his concubine, Lu Hao quickly ran out, took out his horse, called several of his personal guards, and hurriedly rode towards the north gate.
After Lu Hao, the governor of Liangzhou City, heard that Tuyuhun's army had invaded the city, instead of organizing soldiers to put up even the slightest decent resistance, he abandoned the city alone.
The governor has already run away, and the other generals can be imagined.
As a result, Murong Xiaojun led five thousand Tuyuhun soldiers and originally thought that it would take a bloody battle to capture Liangzhou City.
Unexpectedly, they only saw panicked and hiding people and scurrying defenders along the way, but they did not encounter any resistance at all.
They easily occupied the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion and then took over the entire city defense of Liangzhou City.
Murong Xiaojun, who was originally very afraid of Datang, had unknowingly expanded his inner ambition.
He felt that the Tang army was nothing more than that.
It is too easy to attack Liangzhou City.
This gives people the illusion that the Tang Dynasty is actually just a showpiece. If the Turks and Tubos are combined, there may be no chance of overthrowing the rule of the Tang Dynasty and carving up the flowery land of the Tang Dynasty.
In the following time, Murong Xiaojun ordered his soldiers to loot the wealth in Liangzhou City.
Well, Murong Xiaojun was quite cautious at this time.
He did not order his soldiers to massacre the city.
Of course, he didn't stop it.
Therefore, these Tuyuhun soldiers burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil in Liangzhou City.
Suddenly, Liangzhou City became a purgatory on earth.
…
It is said that Lu Hao, the governor of Liangzhou, was as hurried as a bereaved dog and as frightened as a fish that slipped through the net.
He ran out of Liangzhou City and kept beating his horse for dozens of miles. It wasn't until the horse couldn't stand it any longer and was foaming from exhaustion that Lu Hao stopped in panic.
Now, he is not worried that Tuyuhun's soldiers will catch up.
What he is worried about now is how to explain to the court.
Because of Liangzhou's special geographical location, close to Tuyuhun, he was not only the governor of Liangzhou, but also commanded the Zhechong Prefecture in Liangzhou.
The powerful governor who was in the military and political control showed the emperor's trust in him.
But what about him?
When Tuyuhun attacked the city, he abandoned the city and fled without any resistance.
If the emperor knew about this, he would probably be chopped up alive, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Hao couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, Lu Hao suddenly remembered the letter written by the King of Shu to him.
Now, Lu Hao really regrets it.
Unexpectedly, King Shu’s prediction came true!
If you choose to believe the King of Shu, as long as you strengthen your vigilance, there is absolutely no chance of those Tuyuhun soldiers entering Liangzhou City!
As long as they did not rush into the city, the defenders in Liangzhou City would definitely be able to hold Liangzhou City until reinforcements arrived.
When the time comes, he may not only have no fault, but actually have merit in defending the city.
But what now? He can only end up running away in disgrace.
If he could start his life over again and give him another chance to choose, he would definitely choose to believe what King Shu said.
It's a pity that there is no what if in life.
Lu Hao, the governor of Liangzhou, was not actually a fool, he was just a softie and a little timid.
He knew that if he did nothing and returned to Chang'an in despair, what awaited him would be beheading, and there would be absolutely no second way left for him.
Therefore, Lu Hao chose to warn the surrounding states and counties so that they would not be attacked by Tuyuhun.
And tried to borrow troops from these states and counties, and then counterattack Liangzhou.
Although Liangzhou was lost from his hands, if he could take Liangzhou back again, I dare not say that he would be able to outdo it.
But at least, his guilt will be much lighter, right?
At least, he probably won't lose his head.
However, what Lu Hao didn't expect was that the nearby state and county guards were all cowards like him.
After hearing that Tuyuhun's army had captured Liangzhou, none of them thought about bringing Liangzhou back, but thought about how to protect their own states and counties if they defended it tightly.
This result made Lu Hao very angry.
Well, okay, actually if it were him, I'm afraid he would do the same thing.
Then, Lu Hao racked his brains and wrote a memorial, describing the details of the incident.
He tried his best to excuse himself and greatly exaggerated the role he played after the fall of Liangzhou.
As for whether it will work in the end, we can only leave it to fate.
And long before Lu Hao, news quietly spread out in Liangzhou, heading straight for Chang'an.
This news came from Li Shimin's shadow organization.
What they used was flying pigeons to convey messages.
Therefore, the speed was very fast. It only took one day to deliver the news to Li Shimin.
