Chapter 672 Standards of Conduct
At the Qin Mansion, Qin's mother suppressed her worry and ordered the servants to keep their mouths shut, especially not to tell her daughter-in-law.
My daughter-in-law's belly is already very big. If she gets frightened, she may go into premature birth at any time.
After arranging things one by one, Lu Songli sat back and waited to see how many evil spirits would pop up this time.
In the following days, Lu Songli's place was very lively. Bad news always reached her.
For example, she had just finished handling an urgent official business and was being escorted by her personal female guard.
A minor official from the prefectural government rushed towards her, "Governor!"
After being stopped, he thumped, knelt down and shouted, "Governor, something terrible has happened. The Sun family army has penetrated deep into Changshan County alone and is currently being surrounded and annihilated by the Xianbei army. Please send troops to rescue them quickly!"
Lu Songli paused and ordered, "Take the man away for interrogation."
"yes!"
For example, after she finished her meal, she was walking around the courtyard, supported by Hongluo and guarded by Alice. A maid who was responsible for rough chores in the Qin Mansion rushed over to her, shouting, "Governor, this is terrible! Young Master Qin Han and Young Master Qin Yu have been kidnapped by traitors."
This man was also captured by the guards around him.
When Lu Songli heard this, her heart sank. She didn't expect that even after making all the necessary preparations, something still happened to the children.
She waved her hand, and someone immediately came forward, covered the man's mouth, and took him away.
Later, Lu Songli asked about this matter, and when she learned that the rescue was already underway, she nodded.
She stroked her bulging belly and tried not to worry about these problems. If she was affected, she would fall into Xie Zhan's trap.
Zhuozhou
Not long after Qin Sheng left, Qin Zhao came. He came here as soon as he got the news.
"Brother, have you received the news? Xiaohan and Xiaoyu have been kidnapped."
"Well, Xiaoliu brought people to rescue them."
Hearing this, Qin Zhao was stunned at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Liu went to rescue people? That's great!"
Xiaoliu is good at chasing over thousands of miles, and his individual combat ability and strength are very high. With him around, the possibility of rescuing Qin Han and Qin Yu is very high.
Qin Zhao's tense expression relaxed a little.
"Brother, Xue Xu is so brave!" Qin Zhao said bitterly, "From Changli to Dali, we need to pass through four or five counties. I don't believe that the person who is pursuing us can't be rescued by the two of us sooner or later!"
When did Xian Feng's Yulin Army become so weak?
"Xue Xu clearly wants to use this opportunity to clean up these counties and clear out the dirt hidden within them!"
Pingzhou has absorbed too many people, and there must be some mixed people with ill intentions.
Qin Heng didn't deny this. "Perhaps he has such thoughts, but we can't ignore another scenario. If the Yulin Army pushes too hard, Hou Shuang and the others will see no hope and will resort to desperate measures. Then, Qin Han and Qin Yu will be in danger."
Qin Heng tried to look at Xue Xu's actions from another perspective.
Qin Zhao thought about it before slowly nodding.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You came at the right time. I plan to attack Zhongshan City." Qin Heng said.
Attacking Zhongshan City now, firstly, will interrupt the opponent's rhythm and cut off the opponent's support plan, and secondly, it can be regarded as a roundabout support for the Sun family army.
"Brother, I agree with this decision." If Zhongshan City is captured, they will be able to connect Pingzhou with the other city, which will be very advantageous for both offense and defense.
Qin Heng thought more deeply. If Xiaoliu finally used explosives, then they would strive to maximize their benefits and take over as many cities as possible as quickly as possible.
He had already rushed back eight hundred miles to consult the governor about this matter.
"Pass the order down, cook dinner, and attack Zhongshan City at twilight hour!"
"yes!"
…
Qin Sheng's face was tense, and the horse under his crotch was galloping, and the trees on both sides were rapidly retreating.
The personal guards rode their horses and chased after him desperately, so they were not left too far behind.
Qin Sheng was extremely worried. He was worried about his wife and his two nephews.
…
"Second uncle, will the Qin family hate you for doing this?" Zhang Cheng asked worriedly.
"I, Xue Xu, have no reason to fear these things."
The person he was loyal to from the beginning was his lord Lu Songli. He would only act from the perspective of his lord, and the interests of others were never his first consideration.
Since the situation was already like this, he simply took advantage of it and didn't think he did anything wrong.
Zhang Cheng is still worried.
Xue Xu said, "I will personally apologize to the governor for this matter."
Zhang Cheng nodded repeatedly, agreeing with his uncle. "Okay, this matter should be reported to the governor."
Changshan, Shangquyang
The three thousand soldiers led by Xie Yangui were besieged by the Xianbei just after they captured Shangquyang County. They had been fighting for more than half an hour and were gradually showing signs of fatigue.
The Xianbei army, with its large numbers and strength, grew more and more motivated as the battle progressed. Meanwhile, Xie Yangui's troops, having been ambushed and knowing they had no reinforcements, saw their morale decline.
At that moment, from the north, gongs and drums roared and trumpets blew. The noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of both sides. When the soldiers in the fierce battle took a moment to look to the north, they saw a large flag with the word "Sun" written in the middle fluttering in the wind.
"It's reinforcements! Our reinforcements are here!" The soldiers fighting hard cheered.
Xie Yangui's face changed. He didn't expect the reinforcements to arrive so quickly!
Makino, who was leading the group, looked at him from a distance: Little guy, I've been on guard against this move of yours.
The governor said that if anyone dared to tempt them with meat buns, they would make him throw the meat buns at a dog and never come back!
For example, this time, since their Pingzhou army has entered Changshan County, there is absolutely no reason for them to give up.
Because of the arrival of reinforcements from the Sun family army, the Xianbei army's plan to encircle and annihilate Xie Yangui's troops failed.
The two sides fought for nearly an hour, during which time reinforcements from the Sun family army continued to arrive.
The Xianbei found that they could not defeat the Sun family army stationed in Changshan, and when dusk fell, they slowly retreated.
During this time, Xie Yangui wanted to slip away, but was firmly blocked by someone.
At this time, Sun Ming stepped forward and said, "Xie Yangui, have you ever thought about the consequences of your unauthorized actions?"
At this time, Muye, Zheng Hu and others had already stood in other directions to prevent Xie Yangui from escaping.
"General, I know my crime and shouldn't have been so greedy and reckless."
"Come here, take him down!" Sun Ming ordered.
"General!" Xie Yangui retreated quickly.
"Xie Yangui, you dare to resist military orders?" Sun Ming shouted.
"I dare not." Xie Yangui's face changed constantly. It was a mess, everything was a mess.
He originally wanted to kill 3,000 Sun family soldiers as a token of his surrender and return to Dali, but he did not expect that the Sun family army would act so quickly and all his plans were disrupted.
Now he faces two choices: continue to ambush, or take advantage of the situation and launch a sudden attack?
If he continued to lie in ambush, he would surely be punished. If he took advantage of the situation and launched a sudden attack, could he break through the encirclement?
Also, I wonder if he is under suspicion?
If not, then take the penalty.
If he has already been suspected, then surrendering will mean death.
If we break out suddenly, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Seeing the soldiers who were trying to capture him getting closer and closer, Xie Yangui finally chose to break out!
"General, I refuse to obey your order! Although I made mistakes this time, I also made contributions!"
"All soldiers, listen up! Capture Xie Yangui!"
…
It was still so lively over at Lu Songli's place.
"Governor, something terrible has happened. General Qin Sheng went to rescue the two young masters but was ambushed and shot off a cliff. His life or death is currently unknown."
"Take him away!" Lu Songli didn't believe such sudden bad news at all.
Lu Songli and Xue Xu complained, "I didn't expect that there would be so many troublemakers buried in the Qin Mansion and the Governor's Mansion."
All kinds of demons and monsters danced in front of her.
Xue Xu handed her a booklet containing the names of people who had been arrested and investigated recently.
"These should be all the nails that Xie Zhan buried in Pingzhou." Xue Xu felt that even if it was not all of them, it should be the vast majority.
"Why so many?" Lu Songli thought, now that all these hidden pawns have been activated, is Xie Zhan going to live like this?
"Governor, there is something I need to confess."
"What's up?"
"It's like this..." Xue Xu told them how he used Qin Han and Qin Yu to lure the snake out of its hole.
"Mr. Xue, you..." Lu Songli shook her head. "This incident will not happen again. Remember to put people first in the future. Only when people are there, there is hope. Some things can be done slowly and there is no need to rush."
"However, saving people in Shanggu County is indeed the best." Lu Songli affirmed him.
"I will remember the Governor's teachings. Governor, because of this incident, General Qin Sheng could have returned to Changli, but now he is going to rescue people."
"Nothing." Lu Songli waved her hand, "There's still time."
Everyone has their own standards for doing things and priorities, and she understands that.
Moreover, she never entrusts her safety to others. It would be best if Qin Sheng came back to protect her, which would be the icing on the cake.
