The war in the north was in full swing. On the Taining side, after learning that Wu Yangbo and Cen Hongguang were dealt with, the second prince scolded the ancestors of the Lu family in the study, but the nightmare was not over yet.

The Wen family came with 30,000 troops.

He directly surrounded the rear and joined forces with the Imperial Army East Road to capture three cities in succession.

Bad news followed one after another, and the second prince's face became more and more ugly day by day. Four or five capable generals were killed. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth again.

Among the five people who died, three died at the hands of the Lu family. One was killed by Lu Dalang, one was pierced through the heart by Lu Erlang, and the other was cut off by Lu Dalang and his wife, hanging it on the city wall for public display.

The Lu family seemed to be born to defeat him.

First, Lu Feili became the third brother's companion, became the third brother's loyalty, and then married the peasant daughter who entered the Xiao family as his wife, completely tied to the Xiao family and was unbreakable. Even Beidi, who was in harmony with him, suffered repeated losses at the hands of Duke An Guo and his son.

Now the generals under his command are lost to the Lu family again and again.

He hated him so much that he was even more unwilling to accept it.

The eldest brother died early, and he was the eldest son. Why did the Lu family choose the third son? Why did the father choose the third son? He was both civil and military, and the third son could only win people's hearts with false benevolence and righteousness. His mother was a noble concubine, and his uncle was the prime minister. The third son's biological mother was just a noble man, and he was finally named a concubine after his death, and he had no mother's clan as a backer.

He is obviously better than the third brother everywhere, but in the end he is forced to rebel.

The second prince grabbed the battle report in his hand, his eyes were sinister.

...

After fighting in Taining for several months, the surrounding prefectures and counties have long been in chaos. People fled, bandits robbed, and people are living in poverty.

Many people wanted to go to the north, but now the north is also fighting. If you want to go to the capital, you have no way. For a moment, the public was filled with grievances.

They are insulting the second prince.

Even the people in Yucheng complained everywhere, and blamed the second prince who provoked the civil war. In a furious manner, the second prince sent people to arrest a few of the leaders and directly killed them, hanging them on the top of the city to serve as a warning. However, the purpose of doing this did not suppress the public's anger, but instead aroused the people's increasingly dissatisfied.

The second prince, who was worried about internal and external troubles, finally decided to fight in person. He urgently needed a victory to save the situation.

But people's hearts have been lost, and with the siege of powerful enemies, how can they win? It's just a fool. Maybe the second prince didn't know, he was just unwilling to give up.

On October 20th, the second prince opened the city gate.

Outside the city was the towering imperial guards and some large army brought by the Wen family, and there were only less than 50,000 troops left on his side.

The most intense civil war has begun in months.

Blood, killing, corpses, broken hands and feet... that was the nightmare of the people of the entire Yucheng.

On the banks of the Xiangjiang River dozens of miles away, countless people gathered, crowded onto the boat. Among the crowded crowd, a woman wearing floral cloth on her head and dressed in plain clothes was very eye-catching. The people around were making noise, but she was the quietest.

She lowered her head and followed a bunch of refugees on board.

The smell of sweat is everywhere, which makes people dizzy.

She frowned and looked disgusted.

If it weren't forcing her to do so, how could she be on the same boat with these lowly refugees?

Damn civil war... However, she had to thank this war. Otherwise, she would not have been able to escape while the people in the mansion were panic.

She looked up at the gloomy sky, looked towards the direction of the capital, with nostalgic and resentful eyes.

If there were people from the Xiao family and the Yu family here, she would recognize her. She was the third wife of Xiao family who was sent to Luoyang by the Xiao family.

I was imprisoned in Luoyang for more than a year. I could only eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name every day, and there were people monitoring me at all times. After waiting for a long time, I didn't wait until my mother sent someone to save her.

The expectations were dashed, and there was only a lot of resentment left.

After waiting for a long time, she finally waited for the opportunity to escape. But the war was in chaos outside, she, a woman, had never experienced such a war. She witnessed someone robbing on the street with her own eyes, which scared her to hide the only silver hairpin on her head and the bracelet on her hand in her arms.

Fortunately, she did not become the target of those people because she ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name.

Seeing a woman committing murder in the street, she became even more scared. She touched her face with gray, pulled out a piece of floral cloth from a dead man to wrap her head, and deliberately dirty her clothes, and cut her sleeves and hem. Only after a big change could she escape the disaster.

In fact, she thought about going back to the Xiao family, but then she thought that after she returned, she would be in a dark and confinement. No, she wanted to be free.

After a moment of hesitation, she fled out of the city with the refugees and used silver hairpins to make the ship fare.

There are people in my mother's family who are officials in the north, so she can contact her mother as long as she surrenders. After the war is over, she will be able to return to the capital.

At that time, will the Xiao family still go to the Yu family to grab people?

With longing, Yu's irritable heart calmed down.

...

Yucheng.

The second prince was forced too hard, and he tried his best in this battle, and both sides were red in their eyes. He stared at Lu Dalang, who was holding a spear and constantly killing people, and a viciousness flashed through his eyes.

Lu Family…

The long sword in his hand flew past the imperial guards with the power of the Pojun, approaching Lu Dalang's eyes.

Lu Dalang's eyes were sharp and the red tassel spear was consistent, blocking the sword in his hand. The sound of swords and swords were everywhere. The two of them fought from horse to horse down, and their moves became more and more fierce, and their moves were fatal.

A spear is not as flexible as a sword, but it has a low lethality.

The clanging sound pierces the eardrums.

Facts have proved that the tiger who was forced into an urgent situation is the most terrifying. The second prince thought that he was forced into such a situation today, because of the Lu family, he wished he could swallow Lu Dalang alive.

Lu Dalang never underestimated the enemy, but still showed flaws after dozens of moves. The second prince seized the opportunity and stabbed his wrist. Even so, Lu Dalang never gave up on the Red Tassel Spear. Instead, he dodged sideways and his arm was scratched. He hurriedly used the Red Tassel Spear to block it, but the tassel tip was cut off, rubbed across his cheek, and a blood mark was cut.

The sword in the second prince's hand was already rushing towards him.

Dou looked back during the fierce battle, and seeing this, his eyes were about to break.

"Dalang--"

She threw the red tassel spear over, and there was no sharp weapon in her hand. The enemy who was forced back from the front immediately stepped forward to attack. She grabbed the opponent's big knife with her bare hands, and took the knife down, and slashed the opponent's neck with her hand. At the same time, she was stabbed in the back.

She groaned, but did not care about the pain, broke through the siege and ran towards Lu Dalang.

The sword that the second prince stabbed was stumbled by the red tassel spear thrown by Dou, and he barely picked up Lu Dalang's clothes. He lost his hand and Lu Dalang immediately counterattacked, and the gun that had lost the red tassel spear towards the second prince. The two fought for several more rounds.

Dou is here.

Lu Dalang saw the broken armor and blood behind him at a glance, and his eyes were stained with blood.

"Nan Zhen."

But Dou was calmer than him, "Capture the king first, catch him, and the rebels will defeat him without attacking him."

"good."

The two joined forces, one holding a knife, the other holding a gun, the other holding a guard, and the other attacked, and they cooperated perfectly. The second prince was tired of dealing with it, and gradually became a little struggling.

At this time, Lu Erlang joined in again.

Clam--

The red tassel cut across the long sword and reached the second prince's wrist. The second prince had to retreat. The gun without the spear in Lu Dalang's hand attacked his abdomen, and he retreated again. Dou followed closely, and his sword technique quickly and sharply stroked across his waist.

The armor was cut.

The second prince retreated with a groan, and the three of them arrived together.

A big sword came across, blocking the weapons of several people. The loyal veteran turned around and said to the second prince, "Your Highness, you go first, I will break the back."

He shouted loudly, lifted his knife and slashed it up.

It came just right.

Both Dou and Lu Dalang were injured, but they did not lose their fighting spirit. In addition, Lu Erlang and the three of them besieged, the veteran was eventually exhausted and was penetrated by Lu Erlang himself.

The veteran was stiff all over.

The spear evacuated itself, and he fell down as well.

The last general was also dead, and the second prince was seriously injured. The rebels were suddenly in chaos and had no fighting spirit. Especially when they saw the second prince quietly evacuating under the escort of their confidant, they seemed to be no longer important.

The defeat has been decided.

Why do you still have to struggle to death?

I don’t know who shouted, “We’ve surrendered.”

This sound was not loud in the shocking fight, but then more people shouted, "We're surrender."

More and more rebels put down their weapons and raised their hands to express surrender.

Those who surrender will not be killed.

The imperial guards gradually stopped.

There is also a second prince.

The Imperial Commander looked sideways in the direction where the second prince fled, and General Wen had brought people to kill him. The vast army blocked the second prince's way.

General Wen rode on the horse and looked down at the second prince who was fleeing in a panic.

"Your Highness, you have no way to escape, just surrender."

The people around him either die or surrender, and the second prince is at the end of his journey.

He looked at General Wen and the heavily-stricken army behind him, and knew that he had no choice but to escape.
To be continued...
