My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 102

"Brother, I'm here to report that there are a large number of refugees in the direction of Gaocheng County and they are being driven here!" Jiang Heng from Sanhe County quickly came to the county government office and said to Jiang Shu.

"High city?" Jiang Shu nodded: "It seems that Lu Xuan also knew that it would be difficult to break the city as before, so he decided to come here."

The troops were just divided yesterday and they are here today. Obviously Lu Xuan is also paying attention to the developments here.

"What is he going to do? This Lu Xuan is a good soldier, how could he be so unwise?" Jiang Heng asked puzzled.

"It's not that he is unwise, but he knows that the previous method will not work. You have to understand that the biggest problem in attacking a city is not the soldiers and horses defending the city, but the green energy that protects the city!" Jiang Shu said with a smile.

"By driving the people here, can they break the green energy protecting the city?" Jiang Heng obviously didn't believe it.

"I don't know the specific situation, but judging from this person's previous actions in Shangyang County, he is extremely good at deceiving people. No matter how mysterious the Qingqi that protects the city is, in the final analysis, it is the power of the people."

Speaking of this, Jiang Shu sighed and said: "In the past few years, the party struggle in the imperial court has become more and more fierce. No matter who loses or wins in this party struggle, it is the fate of the court that is ultimately hurt. This gives the Guiyi Sect rebels an opportunity to take advantage of! "

"I also knew that the bandit army broke through Sanyang. Although Li Xinian was a great scholar in the country, he was still too pedantic. If he had been ruthless at that time, how could there be the chaos in Shangyang County now? A great scholar was actually surrounded by a group of people. It's really ridiculous to be captured by grass bandits."

After understanding the whole story of Lu Xuan's fortune, Jiang Shu was a little dissatisfied with Li Xinian's behavior. He could have directly suppressed it, but he cared about the lives of the thieves and chose to intimidate, so that Zhang Yuqing's Taoism could be used and finally broke the green energy that protected the city. , also gave Lu Xuan the opportunity to rise.

"Brother, is it bad to talk about a great Confucian like that?" Jiang Heng looked around and saw that in the circle of famous celebrities in Daqian, if you openly slandered a great Confucian, even if you are a member of the prime minister's clan, you will easily be sprayed to death by those Confucians.

"In troubled times, heavy codes should be used. Now that the city has been besieged, they are rebels. With his fame and cultivation, combined with the green energy of Sanyang County's city protector, he could have easily suppressed the tens of thousands of thieves, but in the end, the city was broken and captured. , Now Li Xinian's reputation has probably become a laughing stock." Jiang Shu smiled and said: "Brother Heng, remember, our Jiang family has not yet been accepted by those aristocratic families. When the Eunuch Party falls one day, we and the aristocratic families will be the next ones. The big clans are fighting among themselves, so don’t be so awe-inspiring towards them!”

"Then what should we do now?" Jiang Heng asked.

"Now that Lu Xuan has made his move, it's time for us to take action. I'm going to let out smoke and gather my aunt and Sun Fang to surround Lu Xuan. I'll go to the city to meet these thieves and rectify the name of my Confucian family!" Jiang Shu I was very dissatisfied with Li Xinian's performance at the beginning. A soft-hearted person is destined to have difficulty achieving great things, and it also caused Confucianism to be underestimated.

Especially when Lu Xuan later took advantage of the situation and killed the county magistrate, it even more humiliated Confucianism.

Today, he wants to show the world what true Confucianism is!
"Yes!" Jiang Heng nodded, turned around and went to prepare.

Jiang Shu stood up and said loudly: "Tong'er, bring me the piano!"

"Yes!" The bookboy standing beside him agreed, turned around, picked up Jiang Shu's guqin, and followed Jiang Shu towards the city wall.

Outside the city of Sanhe County, a large number of people from Gaocheng County were driven towards the city. Black smoke pillars rose into the sky from the city, followed by smoke pillars appearing on the surrounding mountains, spreading into the distance.

Jiang Shu stood on top of the city with his official seal in hand, looking down at the people who were swarming towards them like ants, his eyes full of indifference.

The city-protecting green energy in the sky seemed to sense his mood and began to stir.

"Sir, the piano table is set up!" The book boy came over and bowed to Jiang Shu.

"Yeah." Jiang Shu nodded and came to the piano case. A white jade qin was quietly placed on the table. He placed the official seal next to the white jade qin, stretched out his hand to play with the strings, and tried the sound.

"Zheng~"

A piano sound sounded, and the official seal placed next to it suddenly lit up. Immediately afterwards, the blue energy of the sky guarding the city surged, as if in response.

Looking across the city wall and looking at the sand-like wave of refugees outside the city, Jiang Shu frowned.

Where is Lu Xuan?
He scanned the whole place, but couldn't find anything suspicious. Everywhere he looked, there were panicked people.

Are you still out?
Jiang Shu closed his eyes and thought quietly for a moment. Sanhe County was indeed the most likely place for Lu Xuan to attack. After all, he had "rich" experience in dealing with Confucianism. With such a large battle this time, he probably thought of something to break the city defense. Qingqi’s clever plan.

But what is his plan for not showing up?
Unable to figure it out, Jiang Shu looked at the ant-like crowd below and snorted coldly.

Li Xinian lost because of his soft-heartedness and hesitation. He would not make such a mistake. If you don't come out, I will ruin your game. Let's see what you do.

"Chongzheng~"

As Jiang Shu plucked the strings, a piece full of murderous aura danced between his fingers. Under the horrified eyes of countless people, the city-protecting green energy in the sky fluctuated with the sound of his piano, and gradually turned into a A warrior wearing armor and holding weapons.

The sound of the piano is like gurgling water, but the murderous intention is hidden.

As the soldiers turned into green energy took shape, the music that originally contained murderous intent suddenly became louder. The soldiers transformed into green energy, like an army hearing the sound of the horn, rushed from the sky towards the countless people who were snared outside the city. The people who came were like divine soldiers descending from heaven.

As soon as they hit the ground, they began to slaughter brutally.

"Run away~" These people thought they were just here for a walk. Who knew they would encounter such a thing? They had no morale at all. When they encountered this scene, they dispersed in a rush.But there were still many people who had no time to escape and were killed by the Qing Qi soldiers who descended from the sky.

Behind, San Dao was also shocked when he saw this scene.

He and Lu Xuan had seen a lot of city-protecting green energy, but this was the first time he saw the city-protecting green energy used like this. In an instant, the people who were driven over by them dispersed like birds and beasts.

"Third brother, what should I do!?" A rebel looked at this scene in shock. Originally, they looked down upon Confucianism. After all, there were sixth-grade Confucian students who died in Lu Xuan's hands. In their eyes, Confucianism was nothing but iron rubbish. , the green energy that protects the city is just a decoration.

It wasn't until today that they truly realized the terror of this green energy protecting the city.

"Let's go!" San Dao has not forgotten Lu Xuan's instructions. They are here just as a formality. His mission of driving the people here has been completed.

No matter what happens next, even if the city is destroyed, he will rush to join Lu Xuan immediately, but the scene before him is really shocking.

……

In Sanyang County, Sun Fang looked at the smoke rising in the distance. It was in the direction of Sanhe County. Did Lu Xuan take action so quickly?
"Send my military order!" Sun Fang said in a deep voice: "Gather your troops and send troops to Sanhe County immediately!"

No matter what happens today, we can't let Lu Xuan run away again!
Sanyang County has the largest number of defenders. Jiang Shu and Jiang Yao are leading the private soldiers of the Jiang family. He also has 800 of his own troops and [-] county soldiers of Bai Xingchang.

Following Sun Fang's angry shouts, only [-] county soldiers were left to guard the city. He and Bai Xingchang led an army of [-] people and headed straight for Sanhe County.

Apart from the river, there is also a mountain between Sanhe County and Sanyang County. The two cities, which are only thirty miles apart in a straight line, need to go around seventy miles to reach them.

And where the three rivers converge is the turning point!

In order to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to encircle and suppress Lu Xuan, Sun Fang chose to advance lightly.

"Report!"

Ten miles out of the city, the scout responsible for exploring the road galloped over on horseback. Without dismounting, he saluted Sun Fang on horseback and said: "General, there is a bandit army blocking the road ahead!"

"Thieves? Where are they?" Sun Fang frowned.

"Where three rivers meet!" the scout bowed.

"This is the only way for our army to go to Sanhe County. Lu Xuan must have thought that our army would support Sanhe County, so he sent people to stop it!" Bai Xingchang frowned and said: "General, the terrain here is high in the west and low in the east. It’s not good for our army!”

"It seems that Lu Xuan is confident in conquering Sanhe County!" Sun Fang said anxiously: "We must rush to support Mr. Jiang as soon as possible!"

It was related to Jiang Shu's safety, and Sun Fang could not remain calm. If anything happened to Jiang Shu, his career would be over.

Not to mention the realm of Confucianism, wasn't the former prefect Zhou Ji also in the realm of Confucianism?He wasn't killed by Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan was as cunning as a fox, and who knew what sinister schemes he might come up with. Sun Fang did not dare to gamble with Jiang Shu's safety, so after discovering the smoke rising from Sanhe County, he immediately decided to send troops to support him.

Sun Fang didn't care as to whether Lu Xuan would lure him out of the city to attack Sanyang again.

Lu Xuan has one disadvantage that cannot be made up for, that is, he has too few combatable soldiers. As long as his main force is still there, no matter how many times Lu Xuan jumps horizontally, it will be difficult to shake him.

It would be better to capture Sanyang. It happened to merge into one place and trap Lu Xuan in Sanyang. This time he would not be allowed to escape again!
Where the three rivers converged, three thousand rebel soldiers were waiting in formation. Lu Xuan stood in front of the formation, looking far into the distance.

A snowflake landed on his nose and was bounced away by his protective energy.

Is it snowing?

Lu Xuan raised his head and looked at the sky. Thin snowflakes were falling sporadically. There was a little snow this year. It has only snowed twice so far. Winter is about to pass. If there is only this little snow, next year The harvest will probably not be too good.

"Brother, the troops are here!" Ergou rushed to Lu Xuan.

"Return to the team and prepare for battle!" Lu Xuan said expressionlessly.

"Yes!" Ergou agreed and retreated behind Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan glanced at the faces of the three thousand recruits. They were well-equipped, but their faces were full of fear and uneasiness. This was a group of recruits who were going to the battlefield for the first time.

And the first battle they faced was the elite of the imperial court. This was undoubtedly a huge psychological pressure for them, but there was no way, Lu Xuan didn't have much time to let them grow up slowly!
At the end of his sight, the flags of the army had appeared, and Lu Xuan slowly raised Fang Tian's painted halberd...
