After General Zhenguo and Lu Yunting responded to Emperor Yuan, they turned around and walked out of the hall with determined eyes.
When passing by Jiang Yueyang, Lu Yunting kept walking and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Just as the two were about to pass each other, Jiang Yueyang reached out and grabbed his arm regardless of everyone's gaze.
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Yueyang bent down and picked up the thunder whip from the bamboo basket, then slowly took Lu Yunting's hand and put the thunder whip in his hand.
She looked at him, her eyes full of reluctance and worry, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Lu Yunting tightly grasped the thunder whip, hummed lightly, and walked forward again.
Jiang Yueyang stood there, following his back with her eyes until he disappeared.
Soon, General Zhenguo and Lu Yunting rode their horses at full speed to the city gate.
The troops assembled last night are already here, ready for battle.
General Zhenguo shouted loudly: "Open the city gate!"
The huge city gate slowly opened at the command of General Zhenguo, and the massive vanguard of the enemy army was lined up not far away.
"drive!"
General Zhenguo and Lu Yunting were the first to ride out of the city, followed closely by the soldiers behind them.
After running to the right position, the two men pulled the reins.
Lu Yunting glanced at the Lu family army behind General Qiu with cold and sharp eyes, raised his spear and pointed it at the people opposite, "Surrender and you won't be killed!"
Someone shouted, "General, the emperor and his men are bullying us too much. Why don't you join us in the rebellion? We will support you as the ruler of the world!"
"General, we don't want to stay on the frontier anymore, we want to go home and reunite with our families!"
"Don't count on the general. He's exchanging us for the emperor just for a woman!"
"He has abandoned us! He is not worthy to lead us!"
"Everyone remember, we did nothing wrong, we were forced to do this by them!"
The imperial court's actions towards the Lu family army over the years have caused deep resentment among the Lu family army.
In addition, when they learned that Lu Yunting was going to hand over the Lu family army to the court for management, their rebellious psychology was further aroused.
General Qiu took advantage of this to make the loyal Lu family army obey his orders.
General Qiu rode on his horse with a wild smile on his face, "Lu Yunting, are you going to kill these soldiers who are loyal to your Lu family?"
General Zhenguo frowned, "Lu boy, the situation is not good. The Lu family soldiers who are loyal to you are the ones Qiu Jian uses to consume our combat power. The people who are truly loyal to him are still waiting for an opportunity to move in the rear."
General Zhenguo was right, but Lu Yunting felt that Qiu Jian’s purpose was not limited to this.
Qiu Jian wanted him to kill Lu Jiajun with his own hands, and then use this to shake Lu Jiajun's loyalty to him.
So as to completely control the Lu family army!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunting shouted loudly: "I know you are suffering, and I know you want to be reunited with your family!
But do you know what your family wants? They want you to be safe!
But once the war breaks out, how can you guarantee your safety? If you lose your life, how can you reunite with your family? "
After these words were spoken, the Lu family army behind Qiu Jian began to waver.
Lu Yunting continued, "I handed you over to the court because I wanted to bring you home peacefully. As long as you lay down your weapons, I will plead with His Majesty to give you a lighter sentence!"
"Do you believe these words?" Qiu Jian raised his lips to encourage the army, "The emperor will not believe us as an army loyal to the Lu family. He will get rid of us and eliminate our future troubles!
The general couldn't understand it for a moment, but as long as we attack Chang'an and help him ascend the throne, he will understand that we are right! "
"Yes! The emperor won't believe us! He wishes we would all die on the frontier!"
"I don't want to die! I want to go home."
"Kill the emperor and we can all go home!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost tense, Qiu Jian shouted loudly: "All soldiers, listen up and attack the city!"
As Qiu Jian's voice fell, the war was about to break out, and the vanguard armies of both sides rushed towards each other like a tide.
Lu Yunting sat on the horse, looking at the imperial garrison troops and Lu's army falling one by one, his eyes gradually turning red.
At this time, General Zhenguo signaled several deputy generals to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and Qiu Jian also sent out the generals of the Lu family army.
The two sides fought back and forth and seemed evenly matched.
But as time passed, the numerically superior Chang'an garrison gained the upper hand.
Seeing that both sides suffered heavy casualties, Qiu Jian ordered a withdrawal!
General Zhenguo did not order a pursuit because there were less than 100,000 troops stationed in Chang'an City. If there was a trap, the imperial city would be in danger.
Last night, the situation in Chang'an City had been reported. He wanted to wait for reinforcements from various places to arrive before annihilating the rebels in one fell swoop.
In order to deal with the enemy's attack at any time, General Zhenguo ordered to set up camp on the spot.
Residents living near the city gate have also been transferred to shelters one after another, and people are in a panic for a while.
The next day, Qiu Jian led his troops to attack again, but Lu Yunting still did not go into battle to kill the enemy.
At the same time, the Shadow Pavilions in various places also sent news to Lu Yunting that the people that Qiu Jian had secretly sent out before quickly controlled the governors of various places and snatched the military tokens, making it impossible for reinforcements to arrive.
Lu Yunting ordered the people of Shadow Pavilion to find a way to rescue the governor, take back the military command, and then go to the capital to provide support.
At night, he led the people from the Shadow Pavilion to sneak into the enemy camp, attempting to capture the leader first.
But Qiu Jian seemed to have expected Lu Yunting to do this, and Lu Yunting and his companions were almost caught in the trap.
After successfully escaping, Lu Yunting followed his heart and went to see Jiang Yueyang.
