Chapter 317 The message delivered by Lu Chenyang
This is a secret method of communication used by the Lu family army. With the commander's camp as its base, it is like a spider web with countless lines connecting various parts of the camp. It can quietly transmit orders to each squad at the fastest speed.
When the Tatars thought they had sneaked into the camp secretly, Lu Chenyang already knew all their whereabouts.
Just as the Tatars were about to take action, the ambush troops hiding in the dark had already received news of the action.
The ambushers hiding in the dark immediately rushed out, and this time it was the Tartars who failed to react.
When it comes to sneak attacks, the focus is not on the number of people but on the quality.
The Tartars sent out experts, but no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't withstand the enemy's sheer numbers. The Lu family army surged out from all sides, charging towards them with an unstoppable momentum. The leader immediately gave the order, "Retreat."
But they couldn't leave. How could the Lu family army let the rats that broke in go?
As the two sides fought, the Tatars seemed to know that they had no way to retreat, and instead they gained courage - killing a few more Han people as scapegoats would be considered a profit.
They kept the most important task in mind and deliberately attacked in one direction.
That's the direction of the granary. Even if we can't kill Lu Chenyang, burning their food and supplies would be a good idea.
The two missions they had for this sneak attack were to assassinate Lu Chenyang and to burn the food supplies. As long as they could complete one of them, they would have died a worthy death.
"I will sacrifice my life to the Tatar Eagle God!" Someone shouted, then rushed towards the Lu family army using his body as a shield, blocking them tightly, just to buy time for his companions behind him.
The companions behind him did not hesitate. They did not retreat because they knew they could not get out, so they went to complete the mission.
They ran desperately towards the granary, hoping to start a fire as long as they could throw out a tinderbox.
That was Lu Chenyang's revenge for burning their granary. How many people could that much food feed? Their tribesmen were short of food in the winter, and how many elderly people chose to starve to death, just to leave food for the young people and preserve the hope of the tribe.
There was so much food! If it could be saved, how many people could be saved? But it was all burned by Lu Chenyang.
It’s time to let these cunning Han people taste the feeling of hunger.
They ran desperately towards the granary. Like a relay, they used themselves as shields to block the pursuing Lu family army, just to buy time for their companions.
They are not afraid of life or death, they just hope to complete the mission.
It wasn't until the man saw the granary that his eyes lit up and he threw out what was in his hand without hesitation.
That is the characteristic of a great general. As long as it is lit and thrown out, it will cause a large amount of sparks.
He watched the thing fall on the granary and it really started a fire. He couldn't help but grin.
He completed the mission.
He suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and a spear pierced his chest. He was stunned for a moment, and he knew that this was a special weapon of the Lu family army.
The weapons of the Lu family army were sharper than theirs. They had also picked up spoils of war and had tried them. They had found that they could penetrate the body better than their weapons and could use half the force.
That was a really good thing, and they coveted it. But they didn't have it, and their craftsmen couldn't make such a sophisticated thing.
It was not unfair for him to die at the hands of such a sharp weapon. He fell down slowly with a smile on his face.
As long as the task is completed.
There was a glint of fire in his eyes, and then the smile on his lips froze.
A group of Lu family soldiers appeared in front of the granary in an orderly manner, holding wooden barrels and putting out the fire.
They seemed to have been prepared. They lined up and passed the wooden bucket from one person to the next to put out the fire, ensuring a constant supply of water.
"How...how is this possible." He muttered, how is this possible?
If Lu Chenyang heard this, he would probably just want to say that he could only thank Zar for being so petty that he even forgot to burn the granary.
He guessed that Zar was going to use the same trick he had used against him before, so he sent people to fetch a lot of water. Fortunately, there was a moat, so there was no shortage of water.
At this point, both of Zar's goals have failed.
At daybreak, Lu Chenyang sent people to clean up the camp and collect the bodies of the fallen Tatar soldiers. He did not disgrace the bodies of these people again. The scene last night had deeply touched Lu Chenyang.
"They are also very brave." Tan Feng whispered.
Lu Chenyang said expressionlessly, "It's a pity that their bravery was used in the invasion."
He felt no sympathy for them, but as their enemies he could admire them.
Lu Chenyang had their bodies collected and sent back to Zar.
Cars carrying corpses drove towards Yanhui Pass.
The Tatar soldiers in the city knew they were their own people when they saw their clothes.
The Lu family army placed the bodies by the moat and left. After a while, the Tatars sent people out of the city to collect the bodies.
When Zar heard this, he was silent for a moment and sighed softly.
"He can send back a few corpses and gain a good reputation. It's not a loss for him." Zar said coldly.
The guard who came with the news bowed his head in response.
Lu Chenyang didn't care what Zar thought, he did what he wanted to do.
He had just received the letter from Yan Xing.
It was delivered personally by Yan Xing's secret guards, who had to hand it over to Lu Chenyang. Lu Chenyang was sleeping at the time. After tossing and turning for so long, he was also tired and slept deeply.
When Zhao Xi met the secret guard, she wanted to pass it on to him, but the secret guard refused and insisted that it be handed over to Lu Chenyang.
After Lu Chenyang woke up and learned about this, he thought Yan Xing had something important to tell him, but when he opened the letter, he was stunned.
It’s over, the identity was discovered, and it was discovered in this way.
Lu Chenyang rubbed his forehead and sighed softly.
Yan Xinglai reminded him that his identity had been known by Zhao Qingwan, and now Zhao Qingwan was in his hands, and the prince was very likely to have known about this, so he should be careful that the prince would use this to deal with him.
The letter was full of concern and worry for him, so Lu Chenyang put it aside.
In fact, she already knew it.
After receiving the rhubarb from the spy in the capital, it was the news sent by her brother, the real Lu Chenyang.
Da Huang is also known as 'General', and Lu Chenyang used this to convey a message to her that the Crown Prince let the Fourth Prince go, most likely because he had obtained military power.
She had previously suspected that the Crown Prince wouldn't care about the Fourth Prince's life; the only people who did were Emperor Qianyuan and Concubine Lan. She suspected they had made some kind of deal with the Crown Prince, but that wasn't important. What mattered was that the Crown Prince had agreed, and the deal was military power.
Emperor Qianyuan has been emperor for so many years, he must have some trump cards in his hand.
And Lu Chenyang's whereabouts are also clear - then what about those who came out of the Prince's Mansion? Lu Chenyang's disappearance is related to the Prince!
As for why the prince wanted to abduct Lu Chenyang, Lu Xueyin had no idea. But since it seemed like Lu Chenyang had volunteered, she didn't bother to worry about it. After all, it seemed like Lu Chenyang was doing well.
Isn’t that good? I heard that the prince’s personal guard personally escorted him, which shows how much he values him.
The one who was having a hard time was her, her, her! She was the county magistrate for him, and she had accidentally taken over half of Da Gan's territory. If she continued like this, she would be able to become emperor.
Although that was indeed her ultimate goal, it was also true that it was laborious and tiring.
That's getting off topic.
Anyway, Lu Xueyin is not worried about Lu Chenyang at all now. As for the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will make a fuss about her identity when he finds out about this, Lu Xueyin is not afraid.
First, just as Yan Xing thought, with her current power, she is not afraid of these things at all. Is it because she is a woman that those loyal to her will rebel?
Second, the only person who could expose her was Lu Chenyang himself. But she believed Lu Chenyang wouldn't do that. As for the others, she sneered. Is there anyone in the world who dares to ask her to verify their identity? Give them some courage!
To put it bluntly, it was all due to her current power. With her current status and power, she could do whatever she wanted without having to worry about anyone else's opinion. If she said she was Lu Chenyang, then she was! Anyone who dared to question her would have to hold back.
However, Lu Xueyin was still somewhat happy because she received Yan Xing's letter. He reminded her that he was worried that she would be passive.
It is always a joy to be chosen.
Lu Chenyang was in a good mood and asked someone to treat the secret guard who delivered the letter well.
The secret guard looked at Lu Chenyang eagerly and said, "If your Excellency has a reply, you can also let me take it back."
That look made Lu Chenyang feel that it would be unforgivable if he refused.
