Invincible son

Lu Gong's behavior at this time was of course not in compliance with the rules. After all, Xia Fei received the holy will and escorted Princess Qinghe, and his behavior of leading the soldiers to block the way was close to rebellion.

Thinking of this, Xia Fei said in a solemn tone: "General Lu, I'm afraid you don't know the inside story of this incident. When the Marquis of Zhongshan in Beiliang was in Jian'an, Fang Yunhu led hundreds of cronies to assassinate him, and unfortunately died. Liang Zhou has nothing to do with the overall situation, it's just a personal grievance, not to mention the huge disparity in the number of people on both sides at that time, since Fang Yunhu took the initiative to provoke the incident, how can we keep entangled afterwards?"

Lu Gong looked indifferently, looking at him coldly.

Xia Fei's expression gradually became serious, although according to the ethos in the Great Zhou army, Lu Gong was older than him and had joined the army earlier than him, he was an out-and-out senior, so he must maintain a certain amount of respect.However, after all, he is the General Jin Wu promoted by Emperor Qing Yuan himself, usually even the Duke of Zhenguo, Fang Xie Xiao, would not be so rude to him.

Enduring again and again is like this ending, the clay figurine is even a little bit angry, let alone a confidant of the emperor like him?

He took out the bright yellow scroll from his pocket, and said loudly: "The sacred decree is above, you should get out of the way immediately, otherwise you will be punished as treason!"

Lu Gong looked up at the imperial decree in Xia Fei's hand, and said calmly: "General Xia, I have made it very clear just now that your subordinates can escort Her Royal Highness, and there will be no obstacles at Shimen Pass. However, I will kill that Liang man today, if you think I am rebelling against you, then I have nothing to say."

Xia Fei said angrily: "Why is the general so unreasonable?!"

Lu Gong sneered and said: "Someone once ridiculed behind my back, saying that I am doomed to be widowed and lonely in my life. Orphan. In fact, what I said is very reasonable. I have lost my parents since I was a child, and I have no wife and children when I grow old. I only have a very filial apprentice. It is a pity that even the apprentice has been killed. What does that mean?"

Xia Fei's complexion changed drastically.

Lu Gong raised his right hand, and a soldier beside him immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the closed door.

I saw a large number of archers suddenly appear on the city wall of Shimen Pass, bowing and setting arrows towards the bottom.

At the same time, the formation of two thousand infantry outside the pass began to change, and Xia Fei could tell at a glance that this was an assault formation.

"Wait a minute!"

Xia Fei was angry and furious, never thought that Lu Gong would ignore it like a lunatic, if there really was a fight outside Shimen Pass, he didn't know how to explain it to Emperor Qing Yuan.

Lu Gong said coldly: "General Xia, this matter has nothing to do with you, please escort Her Royal Highness to leave immediately."

"General Xia, don't be embarrassed."

A peaceful voice sounded from behind.

Xia Fei turned his head to look, and saw Pei Yue urging his horse forward, followed by a thousand cavalry.

1000 people may not seem like a lot, but only those who have actually faced the cavalry charge on the battlefield can understand what an amazing and powerful formation this is.Especially this cavalry is old soldiers carefully selected by Pei Yue from the Tibetan front guards. Even though the situation is quite tense at this moment, there is no fear or tension on the faces of these cavalry, only the calmness and calmness of life and death.

On the vast flat ground in front of the pass, two thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry faced each other far away, and Xia Fei and more than a hundred of his own soldiers were caught in the middle.

The sun was scorching like fire, and beads of sweat kept dripping from Xia Fei's forehead.

Of course, he was not intimidated by this formation, but he couldn't imagine the consequences of the two sides fighting.It doesn't matter who wins and who loses, the key is that Pei Yue represents the Beiliang court, if Lu Gong insists on doing it, it will be tantamount to Dazhou formally declaring war on Beiliang.

He obviously couldn't bear the consequences, and the previous efforts of Emperor Qingyuan and many courtiers were in vain.

The situation was about to explode, Xia Fei forced himself to calm down, and said bluntly to Lu Gong: "General Lu, this junior knows that you are alone and have nothing to worry about, even if you die on the spot to avenge Fang Yunhu, it doesn't matter, but have you ever thought about the sergeants under your command? Are they really willing to rebel with you? This is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan!"

After the soldiers around Lu Gong heard these words, some of them couldn't help showing hesitation, but when Lu Gong looked back one by one, everyone straightened up immediately, without any hesitation on their faces.

In the distance, Pei Yue who saw this scene slowly raised his right fist.

Deng Zai roared angrily, "Wait!"

The soldiers of the Beiwei camp immediately hung up their swords and picked up their bows, holding the long arrows in their quiver with their right hands, and the mounts under their crotches kept snorting.

Lu Gong naturally noticed the other party's reaction, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly urged the horse to move forward slowly.

At the same time, three thousand sergeants of the Jinwu Guard appeared on the flanks, forming a three-legged formation.

Two thousand infantry followed Lu Gong's footsteps, and the distance between them and the Beiwei camp kept getting closer.

When there were about a hundred and fifty paces between the two sides, Lu Gong reined in the reins, and the pawns behind him stopped in unison.

At this moment, Xia Fei could only retreat to the front of the Jinwu Guard. In his opinion, Lu Gong was already crazy. If he continued to stand in front, he might be shot into a hornet's nest by the sudden burst of arrows.

Lu Gong looked at the calm Pei Yue and said, "I'll give you three choices."

"First, I heard that you are very good at cavalry charging. If you can lead a thousand cavalry to disperse my infantry today, then you can directly lead the troops to pass the customs. I guarantee that no one will stop me."

"Second, you and I have a fair duel. If you die, I will not embarrass your mission. They can follow Her Royal Highness through the Shimen Pass. If I die, no one will seek revenge from you. All grievances are wiped out."

Pei Yue smiled lightly.

Seeing this, Lu Gong's eyes became sharper, and he said in a deep voice: "If you dare not accept these two choices, there is another way. I know that child Yunhu died in your hands, but I don't believe you can do it without any problems." If you are unprepared, dozens of subordinates can kill him. So, as long as you can tell me who is tipping you off so that you can set up an ambush in advance, I will not make things difficult for you today .”

He paused for a moment, and said extremely resolutely: "Other than this, you have no other choice. Although you have a thousand cavalry with you, I can tell you clearly that you will never escape."

Pei Yue finally said: "It seems that you will surely win today."

Lu Gong said meaningfully: "This is not Beiliang."

"Really?" Pei Yue said calmly, reaching out to stroke the hair of the mount under his crotch.

Deng Zai understood, and the soldiers of the Beiwei camp took out their long arrows without fear.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes near the closed gate of Shimen.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see more than [-] horses galloping towards them.

Lu Gong's expression changed slightly when he saw the leader.

These knights made a semi-circle and inserted between the Shimenguan garrison and Beiwei camp from the side. The leader held up a long sword and came to Lu Gong and said loudly: "General, the Lord Commander!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Gong unexpectedly got off his horse and knelt down on one knee.

The leader quickly said: "The general must not obstruct Her Highness the Princess and the Beiliang Mission, please let them go immediately!"

Lu Gong looked at Fang Xie Xiao's saber in the man's hand, and after a long silence, his voice was somewhat bitter.

"Follow the order."

Pei Yue looked at this scene with cold eyes, puzzled in his heart.

At the same time, there are some serious worries.
