Chapter 821 Young General vs. Rich Lady 124
Lu Gang fled in panic, and the guards around him hurried to protect him. In an instant, two or three of them were killed by Lu Yongxin with his red tassel spear.
The Huo family army also moved. The vanguard battalion led by Zhao Hai was used to killing the Beirong people, so killing the Lu people was as easy as chopping vegetables and melons.
The defeat was overwhelming, and Lu Gang was also panicking. He shouted: "I surrender! Can't we withdraw? The land we have occupied will belong to you. I am a noble of Lu, and the King of Lu is my nephew. You can't kill me."
"Lu Yongxin! Are you crazy? Do you want to provoke a fight between the two countries? We have been fighting for so many years, and we are no longer strangers to each other. You defected to Huo Xiao, and you must have learned Huo Xiao's brutal and vicious methods. You are killing innocent people indiscriminately!"
Lu Yongxin was so angry that he almost laughed. It was the first time he heard that innocent people were killed indiscriminately on the battlefield.
Lu Gang was born a superior man. Lu was a wealthy state with a vast territory and a large population. The Lu army's equipment was also top-notch among the six states, so it was easy for him to win wars.
If they won the battle, it was because of Lu Gang's proper command. If they lost, naturally someone else would take the blame. He only needed to move his mouth to become a general with great military achievements.
This time he thought he could easily annex the Wei State, but he was defeated in the end. It would have been fine if he had been defeated, as there was not much loss anyway. But now he has lost several cities in a row. He does not think he did anything wrong and can only scold Lu Yongxin for being cruel.
Lu Yongxin shot Lu Gang off his horse with one shot, and the sharp tip of the gun was against his chest, but he didn't stab him.
"Lu Gang, you were the first to attack Wei. What? You can seize Wei's land, but Wei can't fight back? It was Lu who started the war first!"
"Fighting is fine, it has never stopped over the years. Although I, Lu Yongxin, am not a very kind person, I have never massacred innocent people or abused prisoners. I have a clear conscience!"
"There are indeed rules for fighting among the six nations. Hundreds of years ago, they would first discuss reason before sending people to fight. The best strategy was to defeat the enemy without fighting. There were rarely any life-and-death battles. Later, the world was in chaos and people no longer followed these etiquettes. But you can't use such insidious means!"
"Lu Gang, do you dare to say that you have a clear conscience?"
Lu Gang's eyes were evasive, and he stammered, "I didn't do anything, so I may not be infected. At most, I will make you sick for a few days, mess up your life for a while, and kill your prestige..."
"It was you who really did it! I didn't wrongly accuse you!" Lu Yongxin raised his gun and stabbed, angrily saying, "Prepare to die!"
It was too late for Lu Gang to hide. He did not expect that Lu Yongxin would really dare to kill him. He retreated in panic, but was still stabbed in the chest. The gun tip was blocked by the armor. He was injured, but did not die immediately.
"You...you can't kill me! The King of Lu is my nephew, and I am the general of the State of Lu. If I surrender, the King of Lu will definitely send someone to redeem me!"
Lu Gang was hit in the stomach again and spat out a mouthful of blood. He lay on the ground and backed away, shouting "Protect the emperor", but his personal guards had already been dealt with by the Huo family army.
Lu Yongxin pierced Lu Gang's throat with a gun. The red tasseled gun turned and bright red blood splattered out.
"You almost killed hundreds of thousands of people in Guangling City. You deserve to die!"
As soon as the main general died, the Lu army, which was already defeated, surrendered quickly. Huo Xiao sent people to look for him but could not find Master Xuan Jiu.
This guy is like a loach. His shadow is clearly seen behind every war, but we only hear of him but never see him.
Huo Xiao snorted coldly, "This bastard real person really values his life. He ran away as soon as he found out he was no match for his opponent, and he also took away a lot of gold and silver treasures that Lu Gang gave him. Lu Gang probably kept it in the dark and thought Xuan Jiu was truly loyal to him."
"Send a letter to the King of Lu. Lu started the war first, and Wei fought back in self-defense, all the way to the upper reaches of the Lu River, recovered the occupied land, and captured tens of thousands of Lu soldiers. Let the King of Wei take food and gold, silver and ironware in exchange for the prisoners!"
"General Lu Gang was a brave and invincible man who preferred death to surrender. He died in the war and his body was sent back. The man was already dead, and the hatred was gone. The State of Wei would not care about the crime of Lu's invasion."
Lu Yongxin ordered his men to collect Lu Gang's body. "General Huo is really thoughtful. I admire him."
He could only think of revenge, but Huo Xiao thought much further than him. No matter whether King Lu believed it or not, they would be right if they told others about it.
Huo Xiao is young, but he is much more experienced than him. He should just focus on fighting and not worry about other things.
The army rested on the spot, and Lu Yongxin happily went to drink and celebrate with his brothers.
Of course, we can't drink strong alcohol, so two bottles of beer per person is the maximum. It's good to be able to satisfy your cravings during the march.
Having occupied such a large piece of new land, Huo Xiao was very busy.
The first thing is to send troops to garrison the border to prevent the State of Lu from sending troops again to take back the territory.
There was a huge picture of land hanging in the tent. The border line had been changed. Huo Xiao pointed to the border line with a laser pen and said, "Set up a boundary marker here and write clearly that this place was originally the fief of King Wei. The State of Lu took it away for so many years, and today it is returned to its original owner."
"Without the blockage of Lu, we are now bordering Song and Lu. When the situation stabilizes, we can continue to trade with Song and Lu. The products made in the factory can also be sold to Song and Lu."
"The upper reaches of the Lu River will be renamed Ling River. We will dig through this place and connect it to this river. We will dig through these places so that when the river water rises, the pressure can be shared. During droughts, Guangling City and Pingyang City will not suffer from such a serious water shortage."
There was a sound of applause from the tent, and Ji Yunhuan's voice rang out, "My Xiaoxiao is really an all-rounder! You are good at both civil and military affairs, and you are well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor aspects. You deserve to rule the world and become the emperor!"
Huo Xiao's ears turned red, and he coughed dryly and said, "God, you are too kind to me. I am ashamed to accept your praise."
Yan Changfeng said sourly: "Stop pretending! Don't think I don't know that you used sweet words to deceive the gods, and the gods are on your side. You two are in love!"
"You know what dating is, right? Have you watched TV dramas? In the world of gods, people date first and then get married. That's the relationship they have now!"
Smart people like Xu Sheng and Zhuo Zhantu had already seen the clues, but this fool Zhao Hai knew it for the first time and jumped in shock.
Zhao Shan thought more and frowned, "General, I don't think you are unworthy of being a god, but you are too ambitious. Even if you like a royal princess, at least you can see and touch her."
"The gods and we are not from the same world. The place they live in is like a fairyland. You two can't see each other. How can you get married in the future?"
Ji Yunhuan had never thought about such a long-term thing as marriage. It was good enough to be in a relationship and be happy. She was also happy with online dating, but not being able to meet in person was indeed a problem. She also really wanted to touch Huo Xiao's eight-pack abs.
"General Zhao, rest assured. When the merit value is higher, and reaches one million, you should be able to see it. You should work hard and make the people live a better life, and then the merit value will be higher."
