Chapter 107 Old Questions

There was not much resistance in Sanyang County. Before Ergou arrived with Sun Fang's head, many defeated troops had already retreated. The news of the defeat of the official army made the Sanyang defenders panic.

After going through several twists and turns from Shangyang to Sanyang, the command system of the government and army almost collapsed. Especially when Ergou threw Sun Fang's head into the city, the remaining generals were already frightened.

"Listen to the people in the city. Open the city immediately and surrender. Your generals have all died in the hands of my commander. If you continue to resist, the day the city is breached will be the day your heads fall to the ground!" Ergou faced the city. The head shouted loudly.

"What should I do?" The battalion in charge of guarding the city looked at Pao Ze with an ugly expression.

"What else can we do? The generals have all died in the battle! If we continue to fight, I'm afraid the entire army will be wiped out!" Another battalion officer said in a deep voice: "I need to go back and report this to the court!"

"You mean..."

"While the bandit army has not yet surrounded the city, we will break out from the north of the city!"

Anyway, even Sun Fang is dead. Even if the superiors want to punish them, they can't be blamed. Now that they evacuate, they will not have any psychological pressure.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, let's go together!"

There was no response. After gathering their troops, they immediately withdrew from Sanyang County from the north gate.

In Sanyang City, the wealthy families got the news immediately.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers withdrew without even fighting, the three Pei brothers gathered together with bitter expressions on their faces.

"What should we do now?"

Because of Lu Xuan's trick of beating the drum and spreading flowers, the wealthy households in Sanyang County have now been divided into several groups. Even if they are in the same group, they cannot completely believe it.

I thought that with the arrival of the government troops, their good days were coming, but who would have thought that within a few days, Lu Xuan would fight back again, and the government troops simply abandoned the city and ran away without even fighting!
Pei Ruhai now feels like a child without a father and a mother.

"What else can we do?" Pei Ruhai sighed and said, "Let's go out of the city to meet him. Do you guys want to play drums and pass flowers again?"

Although the officers and soldiers also exploited them, they would deduct one of them even for unwarranted crimes. At least there was room for change, and they could even find connections to counterattack. But if they made Lu Xuan unhappy, then let's beat the drum and spread the flowers.

It's not that they are all killed, and the probability is actually not high, but once they are selected, they will be exterminated.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in fear. There was no nonsense. After confirming that the officers and soldiers had indeed left, they took their servants out and ran all the way to the city gate. Ergou was still shouting.

At this moment, Ergou saw that no one answered at the top of the city, and he was already a little irritated: "If we don't open the city, we will attack the city!"

"General Ergou, it's me, Pei Ruhe, don't attack the city, just open the city gate for the general!" Pei Ruhe poked his head at the top of the city and said carefully.

While he was talking, Pei Ruhai from below had already opened the city gate and came forward with a smile: "General Ergou, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look even more handsome."

"Is it you?" Ergou frowned and looked at Pei Ruhai and said, "Where are the officers and soldiers?"

"When I saw you guys coming, I was so frightened that I ran away from the north gate!" Pei Ruhai said with a smile, "General, you are really brave!"

"That's right, Sun Fang and Bai Xingchang were both killed by my family's commander-in-chief in the rebel army. These officers and soldiers know what they are doing!" Ergou nodded with satisfaction, but did not rush into the city and asked his soldiers to quickly Occupy important positions such as the city wall and the county government office to prevent the wealthy households in the city from being plotted by the government and army.

"What the general said is that he doesn't know where Governor Lu is?" Pei Ruhai said with a smile: "We have long been eager for Governor Lu to come back. Now that we know that Governor Lu has won a great victory, we are overjoyed and have prepared a banquet to welcome him. .”

"Don't worry, the Commander-in-Chief will be back in the evening. The Commander-in-Chief is very tired from today's battle. He is still resting. However, the Commander-in-Chief has asked you to help appease the people in the city." Ergou waved his hand.

"It's easy to say, this is a matter of duty." Pei Ruhai nodded quickly and felt relieved. Lu Xuan didn't blame them for not resisting the government. Thank God for beating drums and passing flowers.

As for playing any more tricks, Pei Ruhai wouldn't dare to do it anyway.

It was so exciting to play drums and pass flowers at the risk of everyone's life. Pei Ruhai couldn't stand it, so after escorting Chen Ergou into the city, Pei Ruhai sent his servants to the streets to promote Lu Xuan without waiting for Chen Ergou's instructions. The Guiyi Sect has entered the city and will not rob the people. There is no need to panic.

The people of Sanyang County are very familiar with Lu Xuan. This rebel leader is different from other rebels, officers and soldiers. Although he does evil things, he never targets the people. Even when Lu Xuan was in Sanyang County, the people's Living standards have also improved a lot.

On the contrary, after the army entered the city, wealthy households such as Pei Ruhai did not dare to enjoy themselves as much as they did when Lu Xuan was there. As a result, many people lost their livelihoods and had a lot of resentment. Sun Fang and Jiang Shu were speechless at that time.

You must know that Jiang Shu wanted to re-gather the green energy to protect the city in Sanyang County at that time, but the effect has been very little. Several policies to benefit the people continued, and although they responded actively and received applause, his luck did not improve.

Coupled with the fact that the official seal was not in his hand, Jiang Shu finally blamed Shi Guan. It must be that Shi Guan oppressed the people too hard on weekdays, which caused his luck to be damaged.

There are also big families like Sanyang who are afraid of being tormented by Lu Xuan and dare not say anything bad about Lu Xuan. When Lu Xuan was here, he spared no effort to promote Lu Xuan's positive energy. After Lu Xuan left, he did not dare to say more for fear that Lu Xuan would kill him. Come back to settle accounts with them.

Now that Lu Xuan is back, the people's reaction is much more enthusiastic than when the officers and soldiers entered the city. After all, things in this world are most afraid of comparison.

Although the life under Lu Xuan's rule was not very good, at least there was still a way to survive. Lu Xuan's people would never make things difficult for the people at will. In comparison, the officers and soldiers were much worse.

That evening, when Lu Xuan came back with the women and children who had moved out before, Sanyang County had completely stabilized.However, compared to Sanyang County, Shangyang County is much more troublesome.

When Lu Xuan killed the prefect, his words about the prince and general Xiang Ning made the people excited. However, after he left, many people went around looting and killing under the banner of Guiyi Sect, causing tragic harm to the people of Shangyang, and even more Shangyang Dahu secretly did some unscrupulous things in the name of Guiyi Sect, which made Guiyi Sect have a bad reputation in Shangyang County.

Like Sanyang County, the Shangyang County defenders immediately withdrew after seeing Bai Xingchang's head. However, after Yang rushed into the city, he encountered many obstacles.

The troops were attacked by the people for no reason. Lu Xuan's orders were ignored and even the food was poisoned. More than 30 rebels died that night.

Yang Chong was furious, but he didn't know who to vent to, so he could only send someone to Lu Xuan for help.

He was good at fighting, but he was still unable to deal with these matters.

"More than 30 people died!?" When Lu Xuan received the news, he was receiving a banquet from a wealthy Sanyang family in the Wang family's brothel. Listening to the person sent by Yang Chong to describe the situation, Lu Xuan frowned slightly, and the atmosphere around him became cold. down.

Pei Ruhai and other wealthy people accompanying him all remained silent, not daring to say a word.

"I understand. You go down and rest first. I will take care of this matter." Lu Xuan waved his hand and motioned for the rebels who came with the guards to take a rest.

"What's wrong?" After the rebels left, Lu Xuan looked at the quiet banquet hall, raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "It's a small matter, let's play music, let's dance."

"Sir, you just scared the slave family to death~" The oiran who was responsible for pouring wine for Lu Xuan patted his chest with fear on his face.

"Hey, it's not a good thing to be rude to a beautiful lady." Lu Xuan put his arms around the oiran's slender waist and smiled in her ear: "How about I go to the girl's boudoir later and give the beauty a good apology?"

"Sir, how are you?" The oiran was about to refuse but still welcomed her. Her body was just right for Lu Xuan to take advantage of her, but she didn't look too wanton.

"Does the beauty like it?"

"I like it so much~"

The atmosphere of the banquet became lively again with Lu Xuan's laughter.

"Commander, among the big families in Shangyang County, the Bai family has declined since Bai Xingchang died in the battle, but there are still several governors who need to be careful." After three drinks, Pei Ruhai took advantage of everyone's joy and motioned to the oiran to avoid, He leaned close to Lu Xuan and whispered.

"Do you have an official background?" Lu Xuan leaned back and asked casually.

"Nowadays, no one can get rich without relying on the official family." Pei Ruhai said with a wry smile: "Everyone needs to consider it."

"Which one?" Lu Xuan asked curiously.

"Cui family."

Lu Xuan recalled that he had known the Shangyang family before, and frowned: "It's nothing special."

"The Cui family of Shangyang is naturally nothing special, but the Cui family of Shangyang is a branch of the Cui family of Huangzhou." Pei Ruhai reminded.

"Cui family of Huangzhou?" Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me in detail."

"The Cui family in Huangzhou, the Xie family in Zhangzhou, and the Murong family in Wuzhou are known as the three great families in the world. Their disciples and former officials are all over Daqian. Even Yin Zheng, the general at the edge of the town, is also an old official of the Cui family." Pei Ruhai reminded.

"That's it." Lu Xuan nodded silently, looked at Pei Ruhai and said, "Thank you, Master Pei, for informing me."

"It would be great if I could help the Commander-in-Chief." Pei Ruhai said politely.

"I'll remember this favor. Let's continue drinking. We won't talk about business tonight!" Lu Xuan raised his wine glass and smiled.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I respect you!" Pei Ruhai quickly picked up the wine glass and said.

The banquet lasted until late at night and then gradually dispersed.

Late at night, Lu Xuan got up from the bed.

"Commander, I can't bear it anymore. Let's find other sisters to serve the Commander~" On the couch, the little oiran turned over in a daze, and there was a hint of panic in his lazy voice~
"Sleep well, I'll see you next time!" Lu Xuan patted her head, got up, dressed and went out.

Outside the brothel, Ergou and Sandao were already waiting there. When they saw Lu Xuan coming out, they quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother!"

"Well, you are coming with me this time. You are all my confidants. You will have to take charge of your own affairs from now on. Take a good look at this matter of Lao Yang. You will have a general guide on how to handle this kind of thing in the future." Lu Xuan continued. He passed the horse reins handed over by his bodyguard.

"Leave now?" Ergou got on his horse and said with some surprise.

"Otherwise? If we wait any longer, those people in Shangyang County will be turned upside down!" Lu Xuan snorted coldly, reined in his horse, and headed straight for Shangyang overnight with two dogs, three swords and a thousand soldiers and horses.

 The update time will be changed in the future, that is, eight in the morning, two in the afternoon, six in the evening, three updates a day. If you want to add a longer time, it will be at eight or ten. From now on, it will be at this time. The capacity is limited. Please forgive me. ~
