Chapter 715: Rain Covers Jiangnan, Heaven Does Not Help Wu

Chapter 715: Rain Covers Jiangnan, Heaven Does Not Help Wu

July is the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River.

Looking at the dark sky, Lu Xun said meaningfully:

"It's going to rain heavily."

Sensing that Lu Xun was in a bad mood, Yu Fan loosened his collar to get some fresh air, and then asked, "General, is there anything bothering you?"

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is more humid than that in the Central Plains.

Especially on cloudy days, when the heavy rain has not yet fallen, the humidity and stuffiness in the air are a bit unbearable even for Yu Fan, a native of Jiangdong.

After hearing Yu Fan's concerned inquiry, Lu Xun did not tell him what he had been worried about recently.

Not saying it doesn’t mean you don’t care.

After careful calculation, Lu Cheng should have arrived in Yong'an the day before yesterday.

Lu Xun hopes that Lu Cheng can meet Hu Zong smoothly.

Lu Xun knew that Hu Zong might not be able to command the Jiefan Army in a dangerous situation.

However, with Hu Zong's identity, he has ways to take down Han Zong unexpectedly without using his military power.

For example, inviting someone to a banquet.

I hope God blesses Da Wu and everything goes well.

Lu Xun exhaled heavily, as if this could help him get rid of the frustration in his heart.

"Zhongxiang, how is the soldiers gathering?"

Lu Xun has always valued Yu Fan's talents.

After the Battle of Hefei, Lu Xun appointed Yu Fan as his personal clerk to assist him in military affairs.

And Yu Fan did not let Lu Xun down. Whether it was political or military affairs, with his assistance, Lu Xun was often able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After hearing Lu Xun's question, Yu Fan bowed behind his back and replied:

“Currently, 50,000 troops have been assembled.

I think in a few days, the 100,000-strong army will be able to gather at Xiakou."

Yu Fan was not puzzled as to why Lu Xun suddenly mobilized a large army. After all, Lu Xun had just issued a declaration of war to Mi Yang.

But when Yu Fan glanced at the dark clouds overhead, a hint of insecurity appeared on his face.

If the weather is good, the army will naturally assemble faster.

But if there is heavy rain, the roads will be muddy and the river water will surge, which will inevitably greatly delay the speed of the army's assembly.

Lu Xun also thought of the same thing that Yu Fan was worried about.

It’s just the weather, which is not something that ordinary people can influence.

Lu Xun could only pray silently in his heart that the situation he was most worried about would not happen.

Perhaps Lu Xun's prayer worked. Just as Lu Xun was about to take Yu Fan into the house, an anxious figure rushed directly in front of Lu Xun.

The owner of this figure is Quan Cong.

Quan Cong rushed to Lu Xun in a hurry and immediately said:

"Great, great general

Yong, Yongan"

Perhaps the news Quan Cong received was too shocking, causing him to speak incoherently as soon as he opened his mouth.

When Lu Xun heard the word Yong'an, his attention was completely attracted by Quan Cong.

“Yongan?

What happened to Yongan!

"Does Governor Hu have something important to report?"

Lu Xun, who had always been steady, also became anxious at this time.

At this moment, Lu Xun wished so much that he could hear the answer "yes" from Quan Cong's mouth.

However, to Lu Xun's disappointment, the next moment he heard the news he was most reluctant to face:

“It’s not Governor Hu.

It’s a Korean variety show!

Han Zong, the dog thief, instigated the Jiefan Army to rebel in Yong'an City!"

Quan Cong almost cried when he told the news.

The news had a huge impact on him.

Yu Fan's reaction was not much better than Quan Cong's.

When he heard the news, Yu Fan was completely stunned.

His first reaction was that Quan Cong was lying about military intelligence.

Han Zong is the son of Mr. Han!

Then Yu Fan thought again that Quan Cong would never joke about such a thing.

Yu Fan rushed to Quan Cong, grabbed his collar, shook him back and forth, and asked:

“Why is Hanzong opposing it?

Why didn’t Hu Zong have any response at all?

What about the troops from the three surrounding towns?"

In desperation, Yu Fan asked three key questions in succession.

But the answer Yu Fan got seemed quite ridiculous.

"I don't know! I don't know! I don't know!"

Quan Cong answered Yu Fan with three "I don't know".

It’s not that Quan Cong intentionally concealed the news, it’s just that the incident happened too suddenly.

In the morning he delivered a batch of military rations to Yong'an City, and in the afternoon he received news that Han Zong had rebelled.

This shocking change had already left Quan Cong at a loss for words. How could he have the energy to investigate so many things?

Quan Cong directly stretched out his hand to throw off Yu Fan's restraints, then rushed to Lu Xun and cried to him:

"General, this news has now spread throughout the city.

The whole city is in a panic, I hope the general can quickly stabilize the situation!"

Xiakou is just downstream of Yongan, and now Han Zong has rebelled without any warning, and all kinds of rumors are spreading.

Among the many rumors, there was one that was the most vivid.

"Bai Lu led a surprise attack, captured Yong'an, and forced Han Zong to surrender."

The fact that this rumor was able to spread was naturally due to Si Wencao's contribution.

This rumor also caused panic in Xiakou City to the greatest extent.

Given Mi Yang's reputation in Jiangdong, it was two different things for the Wu officials whether he was on the west side of the Yangtze River or on the east side of the Yangtze River.

After hearing Quan Cong's words, although Lu Xun's reaction was not as intense as Quan Cong and Yu Fan, his face turned visibly pale.

The thing he was most worried about finally happened.

He had been thinking about racing against time with Mi Yang, but he didn't expect that he was still just a little bit short, just a little bit short!

Lu Xun certainly knew that without Mi Yang's firm support, even if Han Zong had a hundred times the courage, he would not dare to rebel in Yong'an.

Lu Xun unconsciously clenched his fists. Seeing that Lu Xun did not respond to him, Quan Cong kept urging Lu Xun in his ear.

Just when Quan Cong's urging voice was about to drown out Lu Xun, a loud thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

When the thunder sounded, strong winds blew up out of nowhere on the surrounding flat ground.

The fierce wind made Yu Fan subconsciously tighten his collar. As the wind on the ground grew stronger, the thunder in the sky became more frequent.

As people from the south, we all know that such a sign indicates that a rainstorm is coming.

Sure enough, before a quarter of an hour had passed, with a few flashes of lightning, dense raindrops began to fall from the sky.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the eaves and the ground at a rapid speed, soaking Lu Xun's clothes and plunging the entire world into an endless curtain of water.

Looking at the waterfall that seemed to be connected between heaven and earth, Lu Xun staggered a few steps uncontrollably, and then laughed bitterly out loud.

God, help Han and not Wu!

Lu Xun's abnormal reaction frightened Yu Fan so much that he quickly stepped forward to support his body.

"General, this is a critical moment for the country, you must take care of yourself!"

Yu Fan's words "the country is in danger" brought Lu Xun back to his senses.

Thinking that the rise and fall of his family was tied to the destiny of the Wu Kingdom, Lu Xun's eyes gradually became firm.

Since God doesn't help Wu, then I will help!

"Beat the drum to announce the general."

Come on Mi Yang, let’s have a good fight.

　Chapter two.
