Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 458
Facing the wind and sand blowing towards her from the north, Lu Wan let out a loud pooh, feeling extremely relaxed.

In the past few years, Lu Wan has really had enough. Jiuyuan is really not a place for people to stay. There are no taverns, no prostitutes, and no bustling downtown. It's not just horses, cattle and sheep, Lu Wan couldn't even find a wine and meat friend with a similar status.

Fortunately, this nightmare day is finally coming to an end.

Lu Wan couldn't help taking out a secret letter from her bosom, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This is the secret letter sent by Abang just now, and the words faintly revealed the intention to make him the king of Sanchuan. Meaning, Ah Bang is interesting enough, he is indeed a playmate who grew up with naked buttocks, and he, Lu Wan, is finally going to be king!
Amidst the sound of horseshoes in a hurry, a general came forward to report: "Master, Yulin Pass is ahead."

"Understood." Lu Wan retracted her thoughts of flying away, and said loudly, "Send the order, and set up camp after passing Yulin."

As soon as the words were finished, another cavalier arrived like flying, followed by a dusty messenger. Lu Wan took a closer look and found that he was a servant of the Lu family. At that moment, Lu Wan asked: "Lu Er? Are you here?" What is this for?"

Lu Er anxiously said: "Master, the King of Han has collapsed, you must not go back to Xianyang!"

"What did you say?" Lu Wan was taken aback when she heard the words, and lost her voice, "Abang collapsed?!"

"Well, the King of Han has already collapsed!" Lu Er nodded, and said again, "Not only the King of Han, but the old Prime Minister Xiao He is also dead. It is said that Yaxiang Baimo and Grand Master Chen Ping are plotting to kill you, my lord."

"Correction?!" Lu Wan looked at the secret letter in her hand, and her face changed even more.

After a while, Lu Wan woke up like a dream, and immediately shouted: "All the army turn around and go back to Jiuyuan!"

As soon as Lu Wan gave an order, the three thousand soldiers stopped one after another, then turned around and headed north.

However, after walking not far, the sky was suddenly filled with smoke and dust on the straight road behind. In the billowing smoke and dust, a group of cavalry could be faintly seen chasing up like the wind and clouds.

Zhou Guanfu was riding a red dragon horse and galloping along the straight road leading to Jiuyuan.

Five days ago, Zhou Guanfu and Bai Mo parted ways in Yuci. Bai Mo led the army back south, crossing the river from Puban and returning to Xianyang, while Zhou Guanfu led three thousand cavalry to rush westward day and night, and crossed the river at Lishixi the evening before yesterday. After another two consecutive days and nights of long-distance rapid marching, they finally arrived at Yulin Pass.

After meeting up with his uncle and grandson Ying at Yulin Pass, knowing that Lu Wan hadn't arrived yet, he set up an ambush in the pass.

However, when Lu Wan was about to enter the pass, Tan Ma suddenly reported that Lu Wan had turned around and headed north again. Zhou Guanfu immediately realized that the news had been leaked, and Dang even took three thousand cavalry to catch up.

"Father, someone is chasing him!" The eldest son Lu Xin rode up to catch up with Lu Wan, and shouted loudly, "It's the champion!"

"What? That evil star of Zhou Guanfu?!" Lu Wan's soul trembled when she heard the words, and she shouted sharply, "Xin'er, take someone to stop this fellow, and go back to Jiuyuan first for your father, and then bring the army to meet him to you!"

"Father, let's go first, and I will leave this place to the child!" Lu Xin bowed his hands.

Lu Wan stopped talking nonsense, and fled north in a hurry with [-] cavalry, while Lu Xin led [-] cavalry to turn around, and followed the straight road to meet the Han army who was chasing quickly.

In less than a moment, the two armies met.

Zhou Guanfu raised his right hand to block the army behind him, raised his halberd and asked, "Lu Xin, where is your father?"

But Lu Xin ordered the three thousand cavalry to deploy one by one, and then he said loudly: "Champion, are you all right?"

Zhou Guanfu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Lu Xin, so he directly took out an edict from his arms, and said loudly: "Lu Xin, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. The edict of the late king is here. If your father and son return to Xianyang according to the edict, you can protect Lu Xin." The family is rich and noble, if you don’t obey the imperial edict, then you will be exterminated by this Marquis!”

Lu Xin's face changed slightly, and he said coldly: "The edict of the former king, I'm afraid it is the edict of that traitor Bai Mo?"

Zhou Guanfu's eyes showed an undisguised murderous intent, and he shouted sharply: "Lu Xin, how dare you slander the prime minister?"

"Prime Minister? That traitor Bai Mo has become a prime minister?!" Lu Xin was so confident that he reined in his horse and retreated into the army, looked around and shouted, "Listen, all soldiers, whoever kills Zhou Guanfu will be rewarded ten thousand gold and ten thousand households!" "

There was a slight commotion among the 3000 original soldiers. It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, not to mention that these [-] people can be selected by Lu Wan from the [-] army to serve as his own soldiers, which shows that they are very close to Lu Wan. , In a sense, their life and death have been tied together with the rise and fall of the Lu family!
Seeing the situation, Zhou Guanfu knew that he had to do something!

When Zhou Guanfu received the last edict, he raised his halberds and shouted: "Father and son of the Lu family dare to resist the last king's edict, which is tantamount to usurping. If you follow the thieves, you will also destroy the nine clans!"

Jiuyuan soldiers became hesitant again after hearing the words, what is their purpose of seeking refuge and getting close to Lu's family?Isn't it just for a fortune?But now that the Lu family has become a usurper, and the nine clans will be annihilated if one is not good, then is it necessary for them to follow the Lu family all the way to the dark?Is the risk too great?

"Those who don't want to be rebellious, step back!" Zhou Guanfu roared, and then raised his halberds to lead forward, and the three thousand cavalry behind him rushed forward like tigers and wolves. Lu Xin saw that the Jiuyuan Army's morale had lost , The general situation is over, so they don't care about the end, and immediately flee with dozens of family members.

Zhou Guanfu sneered coldly, immediately drew his bow and set up an arrow, and with one arrow, he shot Lu Xin off the horse who was a hundred paces away.

Zhou Guanfu shot and killed Lu Xin with one arrow, and then ignored the remaining dozen generals of the Lu family, leaving Zhou Yafu and hundreds of cavalry to clean up the mess, while he led the remaining cavalry to chase down the straight road. Kill Lu Wan before he returns to Jiuyuan, otherwise, once Jiuyuan mutiny, the consequences will be disastrous.

The campaign to capture the Kwantung spies has finally come to an end. Together with Yu Longyun, who was on the bright side, and Shusun Shang, who was secretly ambushing various water and land arteries, they destroyed more than [-] dens and captured spies from various countries. There were more than [-] people, and countless property was seized, and of course there was the most important thing-carrier pigeons!
But to Chen Ping's disappointment, he didn't catch a Chu spy!
Seeing Chen Ping's deeply wrinkled brows and gloomy face, Yu Long Yun felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the errands were not handled beautifully enough?Or, in the process of arresting criminals, the grand master discovered the benefit of being greedy?At that moment, Yu Longyun leaned forward and said cautiously: "Grand Master, did the villain mess up the errand?"

"Ah?" Chen Ping waved his hand and said calmly, "No, you are fine."

Seeing Yu Longyun's confused face, Chen Ping said: "This grand master is just a little disappointed. After destroying so many dens and arresting so many spies, none of them is the secret stronghold of Wumuya in Chu State, even I didn't catch a single spy from Ebony Cliff, so I was a little disappointed, and it has nothing to do with you."

It turned out that this was the case, and Yu Longyun's hanging heart fell to the ground.

After another thought, Yu Longyun suddenly had an idea again, and said, "Grand Master, I don't know how to find the secret stronghold of Wumuya, but if you want to find the carrier pigeons in Xianyang City, or simply hunt these carrier pigeons , the villain actually has other better ways, but it will take some time."

"Oh?" Chen Ping's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Tell me, what is the solution?"

Yu Longyun bowed his back deeply, and said flatteringly: "The villain knows a strange person who can tame eagles, so the villain thought, the grand master should recruit this person into the Black Ice Terrace Falcon Team to help the villain Taming old eagles, and then patrolling the sky over Xianyang with eagles, in this way, no matter how many carrier pigeons the Kwantung spies fly, they will never get the message out!"

After a pause, Yu Longyun said again: "With eagles, the villain's falcon team can be regarded as worthy of its name."

Chen Ping was surprised when he heard the words, then he slapped his thigh heavily, and couldn't help but say, "Wonderful, wonderful!"

At this moment, Chen Ping, who is as wise as he is, has to sigh, this is really a specialization in art, and there are more strange people among the people, he immediately ordered Yu Longyun to say: "I will leave this matter to you, and I will do it at all costs." Man into Falcon, remember, at any cost, money, wine, beauty, give him what he wants."

"Here!" Yu Longyun bowed deeply, and went happily.

This so-called strange man is just a like-minded friend of Yu Longyun's, but it's true that this man can tame eagles, and this time he can be regarded as developed.

"Drive, drive, drive..."

Lu Wan whipped the horse's ass desperately with the whip, until the horse's crotch was bloody and hissing, but she still couldn't get rid of the evil star that followed behind him not far away.

Hundreds of relatives turned around to intercept and kill, but in the end they were all beheaded by the evil star.

Now that Lu Wan is only riding alone, she can't help but panic, is it possible that she is really going to die here today?

All of a sudden, a wolf-toothed arrow shot towards Lu Wan's horse's hind leg. The exhausted horse hissed sadly and fell to the ground. Lu Wan on the horse was also thrown off He fell to the ground, and when he got up again, he was already ashamed and embarrassed.

Zhou Guanfu stopped Chilong softly, stood in front of Lu Wan, then looked down at Lu Wan condescendingly, and said, "Lu Wan, quickly hand over the soldier talisman of the Jiuyuan Army, and I will give you a good time."

Lu Wan made up her mind, and said with a three-inch tongue: "Shengzhi, your father and I are old friends. With your father and son's illustrious military exploits, you should have cracked the soil and become king long ago. Why don't you follow me to lead the army?" Go south, when you occupy Guanzhong, you will be the king of Guanzhong, I only want Sanchuan County! Everything else will be given to you, everything will be given to you..."

"Shut up!" Zhou Guanfu sternly yelled at Lu Wan, "If you don't have faith, you can't stand. My father and son Zhou are determined to be loyal to Liu Han, but how can we break our faith? A villain like you really deserves death!" Zhou Guanfu drew the full bowstring, and according to Lu Wan, he shot an arrow, which hit the vital point of his throat.
