It was night, and one after another undercurrent quietly left under the cover of darkness. The soldiers guarding the city turned a blind eye and talked sideways as if they hadn't noticed anything.

"It's about time..." When the last group of people left, all the people gathered around. For Zhou Mian, it is his wish for the common people infected with the disease to seek refuge with Lu Xiao. If you can take advantage of the trend to spread the epidemic, it is best to fight without bloodshed.

Lu Xiao had already expected this point. But the difference between him and Zhou Mian's thinking is that many of the soldiers in Yingzhou Prefecture are from the surrounding areas or even locals. It is too difficult for them to pick up the butcher's knife and attack their relatives... It is too difficult for others.

In particular, Lu Xiao secretly dispatched Wei Xun, who is the most unpredictable, to lobby, and lured him with a lot of money. In a short period of time, several powerful characters were mobilized, and the ordinary soldiers below were even more inciting.

In the final analysis, King Xiangyang was too self-willed and ruthless. Even if sometimes he thinks he's covering it up very well, the subordinates who follow him will inevitably notice a thing or two. It's not too stupid to stand out.

Many of Zhou Mian's subordinates had long been worried about their retreat, and they still said that they would die if they were defeated, or they would die if they barely stayed. As long as they are human, they will inevitably have the desire to survive, not to mention...their loyalty to King Xiangyang is not high.

Moreover, recently there has been faint news that King Xiangyang is seriously ill. Although it is a rumor, it is also rumored that there are noses and eyes, and it is associated with the recent inexplicable departure of a famous doctor in Yingzhou... I am afraid that what is said is true.

The heart has already been shaken, and Wei Xun's lobbying is even more comfortable. The words empathize with each other, causing the generals who intend to surrender to cry. Crying with a headache is naturally fake, but Wei Xun is used to acting, crying more real than anyone else.

In my heart, I scolded the other party for being shameless, but on the surface, it was a bitter hatred that I rarely confide in my confidant. Wei Xun and everyone have done enough superficial work, so it's time to negotiate terms with each other.

Wei Xun couldn't help smiling when he saw the faces of the crowd, and felt that his gesture of pointing the country and strategizing was enough to glorify the lintel.

"Everyone who is new to the Lu Family Army still needs some merits, and then they will be reused...you can't get power, money, sex."

These words are a bit vulgar, but they are the most useful for those who go straight to the military. Otherwise, why can't literati be mobilized before the war? A lot of soldiers who listened to it were sleepy.

Wei Xun took advantage of the mentality of all the generals wanting to make meritorious service and show their abilities in front of everyone. Arrange Lu Xiao's plan properly...

Didn't Zhou Mian not care about the people fleeing? Let's see if these generals can't care less after they lead their troops to surrender.

The generals agreed to flee in four directions. Zhou Mian, who was chasing hastily, was definitely short of manpower, and would only chase and kill the weakest one. In order to have an argument with the King of Xiangyang, he must do his best. And they can take the opportunity to lure the enemy to go deep, and cooperate with the Lu family army who has already ambushed here to wipe out Zhou Mian and his party in one fell swoop.

The general who is being hunted down is undoubtedly the most dangerous. If he is really caught up... the sword and gun have no eyes, and accidents are inevitable. But at the same time, this is also the first opportunity to show his face in front of the future leader. Even though they are worried about their lives, there are still many people fighting for it.

...

The plan went very smoothly, probably because Zhou Mian was overwhelmed by the nearest teacher, and now he is blushing and thick-necked, and no one can listen to his advice. He just wanted to tear the traitor in front of him into pieces, so that he could have an explanation for himself and the King of Xiangyang.

Of course, these are just thoughts, it is impossible for Lu Xiao to let the generals who instigated rebellion just fold here. The general who had just fled in embarrassment suddenly turned his horse's head and killed him back with his cronies. Zhou Mian frowned, knowing that he was tricked. Faced with the siege of all parties, he calmly fought while looking for a way out. After all, it was the king of Xiangyang who relied on the great general... In the end, he let him escape with his own soldiers.

Lu Jing and the others wanted to pursue the victory but were stopped by Lu Xiao. He just got the news that the King of Xiangyang died suddenly and the Princess of Xiangyang committed suicide by burying herself. Now the side concubine and his son are in charge, but Zhou Mian supports the heir.

"It's just right to let him go back, otherwise the son will be too weak." Killing Zhou Mian at this time is just to vent his anger, and it is interesting to let him go back to Yizhou. In the internal friction between the two sides, no matter which side has the upper hand in the end, it is beneficial to oneself. What's more... the endless fighting between the two sides will inevitably involve other things...

Everyone who is following me now has experienced a lot of wind and waves, and I will understand immediately when I hear Lu Xiao say this. Looking at the gradually rising sun in the distance, I sneered in my heart.

There will be a day when the sun will rise again, and it is not known whether the power of King Xiangyang will exist.

...

After that, the Lu family's army went to Pingchuan, and successfully penetrated through the hinterland to cooperate with Geng Yuan. Compared with Lu Xiao, the territory occupied by Geng Yuan is much smaller. Overall, it's a bit of a disadvantage, but there's nothing I can do about it... Land warfare is really not good at it. Even if the two sides exchanged, Geng Yuan would not be able to eat such a big hard bone, but might advance more slowly because of this.

"Have you heard? The King of Xiangyang died suddenly..." Although it was a question, there was certainty in his tone, and he was certain that Lu Xiao knew. Lu Xiao nodded, there is no need to pretend to be well-known. What's more, this matter is what they have to face and solve when they meet.

"The cause of death is not clear for the time being, who does Commander Geng think will win?" Lu Xiao was trying to test it out, wondering if Geng Yuan would dip into this muddy water and how deep he wanted to go? As far as Lu Xiao is concerned, he has a heart, and he still wants to help the prince.

"My son, although the princess's natal family is dead, friendship is the most important in the military camp. There is a lot of prestige in the military camp, and it can't be won overnight." Geng Yuan's thoughts are basically the same as Lu Xiao's, and we will wait for how this matter develops.

Geng Yuan and Lu Xiao arranged the army well and had no intention of retreating at all. The hinterland has been lost, and today's Yizhou is more like a fat meat at the mercy of others.

They are waiting, waiting for the new King Xiangyang to show his favor. King Xiangyang died at a good time. Even the two sons have to temporarily rely on others... Even if Xiangyang King still has a lot of power, he can't stand internal friction.

"Stay here for the time being, and give the soldiers half a day off." Lu Xiao didn't want to chase too hard, if he forced the people under King Xiangyang to unite. I and Geng Yuan had nothing to do with fetching water from a bamboo basket...

After instructing the soldiers not to disturb the people, Lu Xiao calmly waited for the other party to sue for peace.

King Xiangyang, the shadow of the last days has finally been completely dissipated.
