There is no war in Lu County.

Lu Yi commanded an army of tens of thousands and arrived at Lu County in just over an hour along the Chidao Road.

Outside the city of Ling County, which was dozens of miles in radius, there were indeed nearly 100,000 rioters with flags raised in rebellion gathered, and each of them was wearing helmets and armor and was well-equipped.

Lu Yi couldn't help but look at Lu Jun.

How long did it take to prepare for today's plan for the Mahavira Temple and the Buddhist temple behind it?

It is not difficult to mobilize ordinary people to rebel.

With the hypnotic power of religion and the extortionate and tyrannical practices of the gentlemen of culture and education, the people are very easy to incite.

But what about these weapons? Even if they destroyed the city defense forces of Lu County, the city defense forces stationed in Lu County only had tens of thousands of people. Where did they get nearly 100,000 sophisticated weapons and armor?

The army rushed over, and among the rioters, there was a burly man wearing black armor and riding a tall and strong wild boar. He immediately led more than a thousand cavalrymen and rushed up with swords in his hands.

Lu Yi was shocked. This guy was actually riding a wild boar?

Moreover, this wild boar runs as fast as the wind, not much slower than the Blood-hoofed Black Horse!

Lu Jun had already led a thousand Canglang riders to meet them.

He was riding a gray wolf, and he was just crossing paths with the burly man. The lance in his hand was like a poisonous snake, piercing through the burly man's sword that was waving around like lightning, and hit the man's throat with one blow. The lance slashed left and right, and a good man's head flew high into the air.

A thousand Gray Wolf Riders also laid down their lances and charged towards the more than a thousand rioters who were in disarray. Immediately, seven or eight hundred of the rioters were stabbed down by the lances.

The rioters whistled and shouted, then turned their horses around and walked away.

Someone was shouting, "The general is dead. The general was killed by the soldiers!"

The large camp of rioters surrounding the city of Lingjun suddenly exploded, and then flags were seen waving, and groups of rioters retreated hastily to the east, quickly away from the city of Lingjun.

Lu Jun and Lu Yi led the Canglang Cavalry in pursuit for more than thirty miles, beheading two to three thousand people, and then slowly withdrew their troops.

The gate of the city of Lu County was opened, and the county governor Lu came out with a team of officials, smiling widely.

Lu Yi reined in his horse and frowned at Lu Jun and Lu Yi who were returning, saying, "After all, they are civilians. If they run away, they can run away. Why are you two brothers chasing after them?"

Seeing Lu Yi like this, Lu Jun hurriedly shook his head and whispered, "We only kill those who wear helmets and armor... They have rules for distributing weapons and armor - prisoners robbed from county jails, local rogues, and bandits who rob and loot, all of them are these people."

He patted Lu Yi's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "Buddhism, after all, still advocates 'compassion'. If it were those guys from the devil's way, hehe."

Only then did Lu Yi smile slightly.

He looked back to the west and saw a big sun passing through the sky, moving slowly towards the west.

The trajectory of the sun is unstoppable, just like the plan of the three religions. With his limited power, Lu Yi can only go with the flow in this world of great contention.

Long bamboo poles were erected, and the heads of the slain rioters were stuck on the flagpoles. The blood from their necks flowed down, dyeing the green bamboo poles into dark red.

The army camped outside the city, and Lu sent food, wine and meat to entertain the troops.

Generals such as Lu Fu, Lu Jun, and Lu Yi brought a full set of ceremonial guards and followed Lu Fu into the city. Wherever Lu Fu's staff, large banner, and green silk umbrella went, many officials in the city of Lu County suddenly changed their expressions and lowered their heads in haste, fearing that they would be caught as an example by Lu Fu.

That night, Lu Yi and his companions quietly left the city and headed straight for Anping Pass.

They wore ordinary city defense armor and wrapped their faces with long scarves, leaving only their eyes exposed.

On the way, Lu Jun found a thin bamboo pole and raised a red lotus flag.

Inside Anping Pass, Wang Pu, Zhuge Li and other generals of the rebellion suppression army gathered together, all of them looking extremely ugly.

They were still too slow. After Zhuge Li's vanguard army entered Anping Pass, they sent out scouts to scout forward along the valley. They advanced for more than 300 miles and came to an extremely narrow part of the valley, which was only about five or six miles wide. The army composed of rioters had actually occupied this place.

When the scouts arrived, the rioters were busy cutting trees, transporting stones, and building a defense line.

In the valley, they had dug three trenches several feet wide and three feet deep, cutting off the traffic in the valley. To the west of the trench, a simple wall made of wood and stone had been built, more than two feet high.

Wang Pu looked at the Anping Pass generals from various cultural and educational families sitting in the hall, and could not help but angrily scolded: "They are building a lot of buildings over there. Haven't you noticed anything these days?"

An official from the Wang clan, who was from the same clan as Wang Pu, laughed dryly: "In Anping Prefecture, the rebels have besieged many counties, but they are just besieging them without attacking. The news sent by the hawks every day is just to report that everything is safe and to urge the riot-suppression troops to quickly enter Anping Prefecture."

After a dry cough, the Wang official looked at Wang Pu and said helplessly: "Who would have known that those rioters would be so cunning? Instead of attacking the city and looting money and food, they came here to block the valley road?"

Wang Pu's face darkened.

The rioters acted in this way, which shows that there are some masters among them.

They surrounded many cities but did not attack them, but they actually went to the west of Anping Pass to build defensive facilities.
Do the rioters want to completely occupy Anping Prefecture?

"We can't wait any longer. My dear nephew Zhuge, your vanguard troops will leave Anping Pass overnight and attack the defense line that the rebels are building. We must not let them build another Anping Pass on the way." Wang Pu quickly issued an order: "Main force, build ladders, pile up earth and rocks, and cross Anping Pass overnight."

Wang Pu himself found it funny when he issued the second order.

Anping Pass is ten miles wide, but has only a small city gate - this was originally intended to block the news about Anping Prefecture and make Anping Prefecture a paradise for cultural and educational families.

But he never expected that one day, Anping Pass would block the way of his army to quell the rebellion.

Of course, the army under Wang Pu's command did not have six million soldiers - this number was reported to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the generals. However, the main force of the army under Wang Pu's command also had two million soldiers.

Even though you have eaten up the empty pay of four million men, it would take you at least half a month to send two million soldiers to suppress the rebellion if you only pass through that small city gate!

Half a month? Half a month is enough time for those rebellious peasants to build a decent defense line.

As soon as Wang Pu gave an order, he saw the main force of the riot-suppression army outside the city dispatched a large number of people to cut down trees in the surrounding mountains and forests, build ladders, and fill sacks of soil with sacks. They neatly stacked them on both sides of the Anping Pass city wall and piled up small earthen slopes for the riot-suppression army to climb over the city wall.

Lu Yi and the other two stood far away, looking at the army that was busy suppressing the rebellion all night.

Seeing the main force of the riot suppression army piling sacks under the city wall, Lu Yi felt both amused and confused: "These are all talented people!"

The checkpoint he built blocked the troops he sent out to quell the riot. It was such a ridiculous thing that Lu Yi had never thought that such a funny thing would happen, even in his previous life.

In the cover of night, there was movement in the woods near Lu Yi and the other two.

Groups of rioters came over mountains and across hills with wooden sticks in their mouths.

In front of the rioters, there were groups of strong men wearing heavy armor, moving silently in the mountains and forests, wantonly hunting the night patrols sent by Wang Pu.

The elite soldiers of the city defense system were as vulnerable as rabbits under the claws of a tiger under the hands of these strong men.

All that was heard was a series of bones breaking sounds coming from all directions. The night patrols sent by Wang Pu suffered heavy casualties and failed to notice the rioters approaching quickly from all directions.

Three miles away from Wang Pu’s military camp, the rioters stopped.

They spat out the wooden sticks in their mouths and devoutly took out thin bamboo tubes from their waists, from which they poured out small pills the size of sesame seeds that emitted a strange and rich fragrance.

A group of several thousand rioters were standing at the foot of the hill where Lu Yi and the other two were. These rioters took out the pills. Lu Yi smelled the scent of the pills and felt a wave of heat rushing into his body through his nasal cavity, stimulating Lu Yi's blood and qi to vibrate violently.

Lu Yi's cultivation level was so high at the moment that just smelling the fragrance made him feel his blood boiling.

These rioters are just ordinary people, and one can imagine the effect of this pill on them.

The cry of a crow was heard in the forest.

The calls of crows rang out from afar, spreading along the mountains into the distance.

These rioters swallowed the small pills in their hands one after another. Lu Yi clearly felt that the breath of these rioters suddenly increased, and it seemed that there was a furnace in each of them that released tremendous heat unscrupulously.

The muscles and bones of the rioters rumbled, their skin turned light red, blue blood vessels bulged out, and their breathing became much heavier.

All this reminded Lu Yi of the more than 10,000 rioters who attacked Zhuge Li's vanguard corps when he first arrived at Anping Pass a few days ago. They also had red skin, hot bodies, bulging blood vessels, and each of them ran like the wind with infinite strength, causing huge casualties to the soldiers of Zhuge Li's vanguard corps.

Those more than 10,000 rioters caused tens of thousands of casualties to Zhuge Li's vanguard army.

Lu Yi stood on a high place, looking towards the surrounding mountains and forests. In the dark forests, he could see more than twenty groups of rioters, and in the distance, there were even more rioters lurking.

"We can't let Wang Pu and his men pick all the fruits of Anping Prefecture." Lu Jun smiled softly at Lu Yi and said, "The army that suppressed the rebellion was completely wiped out before it even entered Anping Prefecture. Hehe, we have to clean up this mess."

Lu Yi nodded slowly.

At the foot of the hill, some rioters heard the laughter of Lu Yi and his companions, but when they looked up and saw the red lotus flag fluttering on the thin bamboo pole in Lu Jun's hand, they no longer paid attention to them.

A quarter of an hour after taking the pill, some of the young and strong men began to breathe heavily, their breath like fire.

Suddenly, from all directions and in the mountains and forests, there was a dense sound of clappers.

"Bang, bang, bang," the sound of clappers and the roars of countless rioters in the mountains and forests within a radius of hundreds of miles broke the quiet night.

"Red Lotus appears, enjoy peace!"

"Purge the emperor's entourage and kill the traitors!"

Thousands of burly men in heavy armor took the lead, with their vital energy gushing out like a whirlpool, and rushed out of the forest with a roar.

Afterwards, a large group of rioters rushed out waving weapons of all kinds.

It was only three or five miles, but under the feet of these rioters who had taken the pills, they rushed over in a moment.
