The situation is tense, and everyone knows that it is best to be like other ladies these days, never leaving the front door or taking another step forward.
Wujun, outside Panmen.
Panmen is the only amphibious city gate in Wu County. It is one of the eight gates that existed when Wu Zixu built the city. This rich and important town in Jiangnan is connected to the city and outside the city through this city gate, and half of the wealth in Jiangnan is
They all once entered the city through this gate, and were also transported to all parts of the world through here.
By the moat outside Panmen, a torch looked so weak in the darkness and wind and rain.
But the flame struggled to sway despite the wind and rain.
The firelight illuminated the dimensions of darkness.
In the wind and rain, the soldiers wearing bamboo hats and raincoats stood tall and tall.
They even wore masks on their faces, with only two eyes showing through the holes in the ferocious masks, and there was only cold murderous intent in their eyes.
The Yulin Cavalry is the most elite military force of the Han Dynasty, and it is the first-class ace in the hands of His Majesty.
Although the Wujun aristocratic families, especially the Lu family headed by Lu Qiong, did not explicitly stand up to support the Kuaijiliu family's rebellion, how could Li Xinchen not know anything about their little collusion behind the scenes?
After the Liu family was defeated, the Lu family, who had planned to wait and see the wind before, suddenly became more honest.
But in Li Xingchen's opinion, this kind of honesty is a bit like a bad student who temporarily put away his cheat sheets after seeing other students being caught cheating.
As long as Li Xingchen, the "invigilator", is distracted, the cheat sheets that should be taken out will still be taken out.
Li Xingchen didn't believe that these aristocratic families would really accept the fate he had arranged for them. Three hundred years of domineering and controlling the local area, as well as three hundred years of hard work that their ancestors had put in, they couldn't just throw it away, and
They themselves also know very well what they will face in the end once these are lost.
If aristocratic families lose these, they will be no different from ordinary people.
The people that the aristocratic family has offended the most over the years are actually not the government, which is often colluding with them, but ordinary people. Even if they can still rely on their numerical advantage to maintain and protect some interests in a short period of time, in the end their interests will all be lost.
It will completely belong to the government and ordinary people like them, and all they can do is to lead the country to death.
Therefore, after Baipao obtained conclusive evidence that the Lu family intended to collude with the Liu family to rebel, Li Xingchen had already begun to murder the leader of the Wujun family.
More importantly, there is clear news that the Liu family's defeat did not completely make the Lu family accept their fate. On the contrary, the leaders of the Lu family, headed by Lu Qiong, already felt that they were dying, and they were very likely to die.
Something happened in these two days!
After the Kuaiji rebellion, the Han army took the lead in attacking from the west and south sides. However, the soldiers and horses on the northern route closest to Kuaiji did not actually make much movement. They just defended and defended. Obviously their main goal was not to attack the Liu family.
, but to prevent the Lu family from leading the Wujun aristocratic families to cause chaos, which made these aristocratic families feel the wariness and even hostility of the imperial court.
Once the Liu clan is destroyed, the court may directly turn its focus against them.
Strike first to gain strength, strike later and suffer disaster. Now that Mr. Lu knew the court's plan, he had to fight with his back to the wall.
And Li Xingchen also realized that his thoughts could not be deceived by those old foxes in the big family. In terms of political acumen, they were definitely one of the best. As long as they were determined, these guys would definitely rebel.
Therefore, before the soldiers and horses from the south gathered to move north, Li Xingchen had already sent Yu Linqi to capture the thieves and capture the king first. This stormy night was also a killing night, and the target was Lu Qiong!
Cheng Feng stood by the dock with his hands behind his hands and said in a deep voice: "The latest news in the city is that Lu Qiong is hosting a banquet for guests. The heads of various families are invited to go. Except for a few families such as the Gu family, those who have the courage to go at this time should
The people attending the banquet are all people who are determined to go against my big man. Our goal is to cooperate with the Criminal Department who entered the city early to capture the traitor!"
The wind and rain washed away the raincoats of the soldiers. No one answered, but their eyes were already telling Cheng Feng that they knew what the mission was.
"Next, those from Wu County will come out!"
Wujun is a large county in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also a place with a large population. Most of the Yulin Cavalry came from the Nanchen army that followed Li Xunchen to Shu, and most of that army was soldiers recruited from Jiangnan, so there are no southern veterans among the Yulin Cavalry.
There are only a few people here, and there will naturally be a lot of people here in Wu County.
This time, the soldiers were obviously hesitant, and finally five or six figures reluctantly stood up. Of course they knew that this time when they entered the city, they had to face their former relatives and friends, so even if they believed that they would hold on when the time came,
It's hard for Pao Ze around him to believe in his own responsibilities.
At this time, standing up may make you feel uncomfortable, but it is responsible for others.
Cheng Feng glanced at them, and his voice was a little deeper: "This mission is special. I am entrusted by His Majesty and cannot make any mistakes. Therefore, I hope you can understand and be responsible for the release and response outside the city."
"Commander, we are determined to die for the Han, please allow us to join the ranks!" Several soldiers said at the same time.
"What are the military regulations of the Yulin Cavalry?!" Cheng Feng's voice suddenly raised.
"Loyalty and obedience!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
Their voices are not high, but they are sonorous and powerful.
This is a military rule that they must learn every day and regard it as a standard.
Anyone who violates military regulations is equivalent to voluntarily withdrawing from the Yulin Cavalry.
Soldiers have a duty to obey orders. Soldiers have loyalty as a mission.
They cannot violate such military regulations.
"Then obey the order!" Cheng Feng waved his hand, "The rest of you, let's go!"
It was windy and rainy outside Wujun City, but inside the city, at the Lu family's mansion, it was a different scene.
Although the night was already dark, the banquet did not end because of this. There were even guests coming in an endless stream, even in the increasingly heavy wind and rain.
After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Lu family headed by Lu Qiong, who was Li Xinchen's enemy, has always been a low-key person and acted in a low-key manner, and the Han government was obviously happy to see this kind of situation. But the tiger fell asleep, no matter
It means the fangs have lost their power.
The Lu family, which has been entrenched in the southeast for hundreds of years, still has strong power. As long as they are willing, they are indeed qualified to stir up a storm at least as much as the Liu family!
Kuaiji is still a little far from Jiankang Prefecture, but Wu County, where the Lu family is located, is not that far from Jiankang Prefecture!
As long as they are willing, they may threaten the heart of the Han Dynasty at any time.
Although the news of the Liu family's defeat has not yet come, anyone with a discerning eye can already see clearly that after several major defeats, the Liu family has been unable to recover. After the Liu family, it will be the turn of these aristocratic families.
