Pingzhou.
This is an important border fortress. As the closest place between the Great Zhou and the Shu Kingdom, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is full of dangers.
And the climate is very different.
Marquis Wenxin’s fiefdom was naturally also here.
Originally he was full of confidence, thinking that he had instigated a rebellion in the four southeastern provinces, although everyone eventually knew what had happened.
But since we have already rebelled, we must rebel to the end and not worry about anything else.
The reason why Marquis Wenxin wanted to cause the four southeastern provinces to rebel was very simple, that is, he wanted to become emperor himself!
In his opinion, this little emperor now has no strength at all, but he just wants to be a real ruler.
After successfully provoking the generals of the four southeastern provinces, he began to activate the hidden chess piece he had left behind before.
He knew that the general and General Xiao He were the most suitable candidates to go to the expedition, so the court would definitely choose these two people.
So his initial idea was to kill the general directly, but it was too difficult, so it would be better to let them fight among themselves.
Marquis Wenxin never expected that there was someone secretly helping him, and he did not provoke General Xiao He.
Who sent General Xiao He to assassinate him? It is still unclear at this moment.
However, after learning that his deeds had been exposed, Marquis Wenxin no longer hid them!
Instead, he began to recruit soldiers. As a lord of an important border area, he was very powerful and had a lot of soldiers. It was relatively easy for him to recruit soldiers now.
The most important thing is that in recent times, Li Jing led a large army to come directly to us.
As for the other rogue soldiers, they also ran to his side, all wanting to find a place to settle down.
Because these people all know that after they escape, there is only one outcome, and that is death.
Only with Marquis Wenxin can one find a glimmer of hope.
On this day, Pingzhou, where Wenxinhou was located, welcomed another extraordinary figure, Xu Shanbao, who had just massacred the city.
Marquis Wenxin naturally would not hesitate. After all, these people coming here would strengthen his own strength and give him a better chance of winning against the imperial court. All those people before were trash.
Only by taking refuge at the feet of Marquis Wenxin can there be a way out.
"Marquis Wenxin, please take me in. I will make sure that all the troops I have gathered belong to you. I will call you a true general and obey your orders."
Marquis Wenxin didn't know what the situation was like at the front, so he asked in confusion.
"Did you lose the battle so quickly? You couldn't even hold out for a few days?"
"My Lord, it's not really a loss. It's because that old bastard Zhou Zhengtian is always suspicious, leaving me with no solution."
"In a rage, I killed him and even set fire to the entire city, slaughtering everyone."
As soon as these words came out, Wen Xinhou froze in his tracks! Good fellow, this is even more excessive than what Li Jing did.
Li Jing simply robbed the people of their food and property, but he did not choose to do such a cruel and inhumane thing, which would be a taboo in the world.
"Burn it all in one fire?"
"Do you know how many people you are going to burn to death in this entire city? If the people of the Great Zhou knew about this, everyone would definitely want to kill you. They would definitely find ways to kill you."
Xu Shanbao acted as if he was not afraid. "It's okay. As long as I follow the Marquis, I can rest assured. As long as the Marquis is here, he won't let me get hurt, right?"
Marquis Wenxin couldn't help but roll his eyes. This guy really regarded himself as his life-saving talisman, but he could only protect him temporarily, not forever.
Just based on what he did, anyone would be very angry.
But there was no other way, he could only take this guy in like this for now, and wait until later, and then talk about it...
…
Liyue City.
A heavy rain put out all the flames in the city, but also caused more casualties.
Looking at this devastated city, Lu Yun couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He is a normal person, not an ancient person living here! Although he has killed many people, he would not be so cruel as to kill these ordinary people.
What's more, no one could kill so many unarmed civilians at once.
"What does the court say?"
"Your Majesty has already issued a proclamation to attack Marquis Wenxin. This has caused widespread outrage, and the people of the entire Great Zhou are extremely angry."
"As the news spread, everyone hated Xu Shanbao even more."
"Eunuch Lu, in my opinion, we should send troops as soon as possible."
Shangguan Yan quickly spoke up, he now wished he could get to Pingzhou, capture Wenxin Hou and Xu Shanbao, and whip them severely.
Lu Yun shook his head helplessly. "Although we didn't lose many men in this battle, we did lose a lot of weapons. We must now do everything we can to get the imperial court to mobilize supplies."
"Whether it's the crossbow or the crossbow bed we made, we need to make good preparations."
"Only by defeating Marquis Wenxin can we win this battle!"
Shangguan Yan seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't ask any more questions. In fact, he knew it very well in his heart.
The reason why Eunuch Lu wanted to stay in this city for a while longer was simply to provide a good home for these people.
These people are so miserable, it's heartbreaking.
"well……"
In this way, after about seven days, when the people had almost recovered and could eat hot meals, Lu Yun led the army away.
His compassion and bodhisattva heart have also been recognized and respected by many people.
The news reached Shangjing City.
Liang Jing was also greatly surprised. In his impression, Lu Yun was a shameful person who would never give up until he achieved his goal, just like the time when he went to the brothel to look for the criminal.
I didn't expect him to have such a compassionate heart.
Even many ministers in the court had a changed impression of him.
"I didn't expect that Eunuch Lu, as a member of the palace and a general on this expedition, would also have a compassionate heart."
"This Eunuch Lu is not only extremely powerful, but also an expert at leading troops in battle. I didn't expect that he also has a kind heart towards ordinary people."
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Lu's actions are equivalent to comforting these people on your behalf. I believe that Eunuch Lu is doing the right thing."
Even the great general Shangguan Yun felt inferior to him. "If I were faced with such a situation, I would definitely try my best to fight my way to Pingzhou and avenge these people."
"I would never be so calm at this time, nor would I be so compassionate and kind to these people. I really admire you."
"Yes, if this Eunuch Lu can really win the final battle and quell the civil unrest in our Great Zhou, he will surely be promoted to a high position."
