Chapter 159 He is finally here
Gao Wenkai was also struggling to hold on. No one told Lu Chenyang about withdrawing, but no one knew how long they could hold on.
The Nanyang Army did not give them much time to rest. Before noon, the Nanyang Army launched another attack. Lu Chenyang fought on the battlefield with a spear.
Lu Chenyang was on the battlefield, his face covered in blood, but he was still bloodthirsty and kept waving his spear at the people in front of him.
Must defend!
But there are fewer and fewer people around him, and the guards around him gradually move closer to him and intend to escort him away from the battlefield - Lu Chenyang's safety must not be compromised.
King Nanyang did not let him go, but directly entangled him. The two fought several times, but it was difficult to determine the winner. King Nanyang wanted to defeat him completely.
The two fought fiercely, but suddenly they separated and took a breath.
Lu Chenyang's spear stood on the ground, supporting his body. He was breathing heavily, staring at King Nanyang not far away.
King Nanyang was also feeling a little exhausted. Lu Chenyang was the toughest opponent he had ever met.
King Nanyang panted heavily. "Great, great! It's a great pleasure to meet an opponent of equal strength in my lifetime. Lu Chenyang, if we weren't on the same page, maybe we could become friends."
Lu Chenyang said coldly, "No, you've exploited the people and plunged Shu into such dire straits. Zhang Chi, you are to blame. I will never be friends with someone like you."
Zhang Chi was rejected, but he was not angry and just curled the corners of his lips.
Lu Chenyang is famous for loving the people like his own children, but he fought against Lu Chenyang with several times the combat power, but still could not gain the upper hand. Lu Chenyang relied on the people's hearts.
Maybe he was really wrong.
However, he would not give up, and it would not be easy for Lu Chenyang to stop him.
King Nanyang's weapon stabbed towards him, and Lu Chenyang blocked it with his spear, causing him to retreat several steps.
Lu Chenyang felt a fishy sweetness in his mouth, he gritted his teeth and stood up.
Suddenly, he heard a rapid sound, and then the soldiers around him shouted: "Reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming!"
Lu Chenyang was stunned and looked up blankly.
The large flag with the word "Lu" fluttered in the wind. Yan Xing, who was leading the group, rode on his horse and galloped over. He stared at the battlefield with a solemn look in his eyes.
Lu Chenyang breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally here.
The arrival of reinforcements immediately reversed the situation, and King Nanyang immediately led his troops back into the city.
He didn't expect Yan Xing to come back at this time. It seemed that the Ningzhou issue had been resolved.
But in an instant, several thoughts flashed through King Nanyang's mind, and the first thought was envy.
Look at the people around Lu Chenyang, each of them is a dragon and phoenix among men, and they are extremely capable. Then look at his own people, each one he sent out is worse than the other. If there was only one capable person, how could he fall into such a passive position?
It was a bit inappropriate, but King Nanyang thought of a saying: If one soldier is incompetent, the whole army will be incompetent.
He shook his head and threw the thought away.
Yan Xing dismounted, his cloak fluttering. The high-spirited young man seemed to have traveled through time and walked towards him. Lu Chenyang was in a trance for a moment.
Yan Xing walked up to Lu Chenyang, his eyes concerned: "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Lu Chenyang breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine."
Yan Xing also felt relieved.
As soon as Yan Xing arrived, Lu Chenyang finally relaxed. This kind of thing should be left to Yan Xing.
The reinforcements brought back by Yan Xing also completely reversed the situation.
Yan Xing personally led the troops and they were unstoppable. They captured Lucheng in two days, and the King of Nanyang led his troops to flee the city.
On the day the army entered Lucheng, Yan Xing personally escorted Lu Chenyang up the city wall.
This city, which had experienced several wars, was now in ruins.
Lu Chenyang frowned, feeling heavy in his heart.
Yan Xing lowered his head, looked at Lu Chenyang beside him, and said softly: "Now you are its master."
Lu Chenyang reached out his hand and stroked the city wall. He took a deep breath, curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes sparkled with something called ambition.
Lu Chenyang smiled and said, "Luckily you came back in time, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth. Thank you for your hard work along the way."
Lu Chenyang truly felt this way. Yan Xing first captured Ningzhou and then rushed back at full speed. He became the key to victory.
But Yan Xing didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "I can't take credit for this. Lord Lu was so heroic and brave, defeating powerful enemies on the battlefield. I heard about it when I just got back." His eyes were filled with playful inquiry. "I didn't know Lord Lu knew martial arts. He's been hiding it well all this time."
On their way to Yanquan County, they encountered several assassination attempts, but Lu Chenyang didn't show any sign of betrayal. If it weren't for the critical situation, who would have thought that the top scholar could actually practice martial arts?
When Lu Chenyang mentioned this, he felt a little guilty. He laughed twice and said, "It's just some basic kung fu I learned for self-defense. As the saying goes, it's always good to have many skills. Isn't this how it comes into play?"
A mediocre kung fu that could fight Zhang Chi on equal terms? He didn't know if he was being modest or insulting someone.
Yan Xing shook his head and said nothing more.
When people heard the news that Lu Chenyang knew martial arts, they were more surprised than shocked.
As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Lu Chenyang's reputation for ability is well-known. He is a genius among scholars, and as an official, he is also outstandingly capable. It seems that there is nothing he can't do. So many people who know martial arts are not a big deal.
Their Lord Lu deserves to be both civil and military.
So everyone should be happy.
And I don’t have time to think about this now. I’m mainly concerned about what will happen after I occupy Quzhou.
After taking Quzhou, there was another busy period, including cleaning up the battlefield, counting the spoils, settling the prisoners, etc. The people in the Lu Group were busy all the time.
Quzhou was different from Shu. Shu and Lingnan could be summed up in four words: remote and impoverished. But Quzhou was considered a prosperous prefecture in Dagan, with convenient transportation, making it an important transportation hub.
There is also a dock here, shipping is very developed, and the area is extremely wealthy.
Lu Chenyang took a solid bite of the meat.
The people of Quzhou lived a wealthier life than those in Shu and Lingnan, but that was in the past. Ever since Quzhou was occupied by the King of Nanyang, the people's lives have become difficult.
Lu Chenyang began to sort out the various government affairs of Quzhou. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and things went very smoothly after they were arranged.
Lu Chenyang also issued an announcement in Quzhou to recruit "mentors", and there was an endless stream of applicants.
Quzhou is rich and has more talented people, which can be seen from their answers. Lu Chenyang selected more than 20 talented people in one breath.
Lu Chenyang talked to them about the development of Quzhou and instilled his own governing philosophy in them. This conversation lasted for several days.
Both sides looked like they had met too late.
Someone ran to Gao Ming and Chen Songyuan and whispered that Lu Chenyang had other staff members around him, and the positions of the two gentlemen might be in jeopardy.
The two just smiled. They wished Lu Chenyang had more people around him to assist him. This meant that Lu Chenyang had become more powerful and could attract more capable people to follow him.
In this way, Lu Chenyang's future will be smoother.
This is a very good thing.
What's more, Gao Ming's hometown is in Jiangnan, and Chen Songyuan's hometown is in Lingnan. Let's not talk about Gao Ming, Lu Chenyang can't reach that far. Let's talk about the Chen family. Because Chen Songyuan works for Lu Chenyang, his business is developing rapidly. Wherever Lu Chenyang goes, the Chen family follows.
Leaning against a big tree brings good shade, and the Chen family has reaped the benefits. In the capital city, the Chen family is also the most powerful. However, Lu Chenyang is very concerned about the dominance of one family, so the influence of the Shen and Zhao families should not be underestimated. Everyone follows Lu Chenyang's work, and in essence, they are all family. Harmony brings wealth, and everyone knows their limits, which makes things go more smoothly.
Each of them knew that they were developing their own branches around Lu Chenyang.
Whether it was the common people or the gentry in Quzhou, they all welcomed Lu Chenyang very much and were willing to cooperate with his various measures. The entire Quzhou was changing its appearance at a rapid speed.
Even with help, Lu Chenyang was still busy. The future development of Quzhou, the next plan of the Lu family army, and the situation in the court all required Lu Chenyang to think about.
Lu Chenyang didn't expect that even though he was so busy, there would still be people looking for trouble for him!
