Although the Jin army had sufficient troops, the opponent was led by the Marquis of Wu'an, Lu Pingnan. In front of Lu Pingnan, what does Fu Yan's promotion mean? The soldiers of the Jin army, and even many generals, were frightened when they learned that it was Lu Pingnan who was biting them. What's more, they had just eaten the melon and hadn't had time to digest it. When fighting, the most important thing is to avoid losing morale, and this is the case for the Jin army at this time. Lu Pingnan had guarded the border for many years. After the young emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager was worried about the Lu family's power, so she transferred him back to the capital. Only the second son of the Lu family, who was the consort, stayed at the border. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Pingnan, the Marquis of Wu'an, was as famous as Xie Hongming, the Marquis of Zhongyi, but Lu Pingnan was twenty years younger than Xie Hongming. Not only the generals and soldiers were demoralized, but even Fu Yansheng felt like thousands of horses galloping in his heart. Just this morning, he just received news from Jinyang. His first wife and two concubines all committed suicide. After He Ran took over Jinyang, Jinyang was like an iron barrel. Even the news that Fu Yansheng's family members committed suicide was deliberately released by He Ran based on the time. Just today, before King Jin launched his general attack, news of his death reached Fu Yansheng's ears.
Although Fu Yansheng had another concubine, she was still his first wife and the biological mother of his two legitimate sons. The two sons wailed loudly and went to the battlefield holding back their grief. They were still confused until now. Fu Yansheng was also in a bad mood. However, the Lu Pingnan brothers used the trick of "tangling". They bit hard and refused to let go. The Jin army had retreated, but they still refused to give up. They could not take a few bites of meat and they would never give up. Fu Yansheng was distraught and made a mistake in his command. The left wing army was beaten to a pulp by Lu Pingnan. They lost their helmets and armor and became separated from the larger army. Meng Wangsheng led the Zhuozhou Army in pursuit. As the saying goes, don't pursue poor bandits, but the Jin army is not poor bandits. They want food and people, and if they don't pursue them, they will not pursue them. The Jin army had retreated for more than fifty miles, but the three groups of pursuers had no intention of giving up. Fu Yansheng shouted: "Fire arrows!" When arrows were fired on the ground, only the pawn at the front was injured. As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, the opponent's machete arrived. The Jin army could only retreat again. The battle finally ended with the Jin army being driven back hundreds of miles. The army scattered countless weapons along the way, as well as stragglers and prisoners who were captured after escaping. In this battle, the Zhuozhou Army won a complete victory. That night, Meng Wangsheng hosted a banquet for the Lu brothers in Zhuozhou City. They all knew that the victory was only temporary. Cai Ying's sudden appearance today caused the Jin army to be in chaos, but once they rested and recovered, they would make a comeback. Ever since Meng Wangsheng learned that his wife and children were safe, he felt as if he had walked away from the underworld. He felt that he no longer cared about life or death. After three glasses of wine, he said to Lu Pingnan, the Marquis of Wu'an: "Old Lu, please tell me the truth. You brothers, no, what on earth do your old ladies think? The world is in chaos at this time. Wu Dongming and Feng Zan We have all set up our own business, so don’t you, the Lu family, also have this plan?” Meng Wangsheng regretted that he did not persuade his father-in-law Xie Hongming to rebel when he was still alive. If he had rebelled at that time, my father-in-law might still be alive now. As long as his father-in-law had not died, King Qi would not have dared to do anything to Xie and Meng's family. Unlike now, if it were not for the help of Lu Pingnan, the two families would have no descendants. Lu Pingnan did not expect that Meng Wangsheng actually thought that he wanted to rebel. Judging from the energy with which Meng Wangsheng blurted out his words without thinking, this old boy probably had this plan. However, without Xie Hongming, Meng Wangsheng could only think about it. He did not have the strength or the courage. Lu Pingnan narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and suddenly said: "You should still remember my mother's identity."
Meng Wangsheng was startled, then he said with a smile: "Who in the world doesn't know my mother's identity?" Lu Pingnan glared at him: "She is my mother, what does it have to do with you?" Meng Wangsheng thought to himself, doesn't this want you to treat me as a brother? They were all noble children who grew up in the capital. Meng Wangsheng's parents died early, and he was the only male in the family. Before Meng Wangsheng came of age, the Meng family's situation was very bad. Meng Wangsheng followed Lu Pingnan and Xie Dalang as their little brother all day long, and followed them to fight for territory in the capital. Because of this relationship, the Lu and Xie families took care of the Meng family. Meng Wangsheng's first job was to go to Lu He later became the son-in-law of the Xie family. Meng Wangsheng's eyes turned red again as he thought of the past events of his youth: "One winter, it was extremely cold in the capital. Everyone wore either mink or fox fur when they went out, but I only had a cotton cloak and was shivering from the cold. It was my mother who felt sorry for me and took two pieces of leather to make a big sweater for my sister and me. At that time, I thought, how wonderful it would be if this was my own mother. Growing up, I didn’t envy you brothers for being rich and powerful. What I envied most was that you had a good mother. So, I call her mother, is it wrong? " It was just two pieces of leather. Lu Pingnan had long forgotten it, but he believed that this was something his mother could do. He patted Meng Wangsheng on the shoulder and said: "In that case, our family will not speak the same language as the two families. As you know, in our Lu family, my mother has always had the final say, even for my second brother and second sister-in-law. in this way." Lu Pingnan's second sister-in-law is a princess. Meng Wangsheng nodded solemnly: "Old Lu, big brother, tell me, what plans our mother has, I, Meng Wangsheng, will support her with both hands." He thought of his wife and children who were now living peacefully in Shunde Mansion, and felt that it was worth it even if he sacrificed his life. Lu Pingnan was very satisfied. The meals he spent at his house all those years were not in vain. This old boy was somewhat loyal. "Have you heard of Ran Jun?" Lu Pingnan said. Meng Wangsheng was startled, of course he had heard of Ran Jun. "You mean, He Ran?" Meng Wangsheng asked. As soon as the words came out, Meng Wang suddenly remembered something. According to legend, He Ran was the descendant of He Jinghong. God, why did he just think of it now? He should have thought of it a long time ago. Li Jinxiu, the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, isn't that the first female general under He Jinghong? "He Ran is really the descendant of Princess Zhenguo?" Meng Wangsheng asked. Lu Pingnan nodded solemnly: "Why do you think Cai Ying appeared in Zhuozhou, and why were you able to contact our brothers so smoothly?" Meng Wangsheng asked: "Isn't it my mother's arrangement?" Lu Pingnan smiled and shook his head: "My mother is capable, but she can't steal the dignified old Princess Jin out of the palace and send her to your Zhuozhou City. All of this is the work of Master He, Lao Meng, we The fact that the three brothers can still sit here and drink at this time is all thanks to Master He." Meng Wangsheng never expected that the Lu family would seek refuge with Ran Jun, or He Ran. But now that I know it, I feel that this is only logical. He slapped his chopsticks on the table, stood up, and gave a deep salute to Lu Pingnan: "Brother, I will listen to you, He Ran, no, He is the boss, and I will follow!"
