Chapter 690 Tiger Roaring Plain
Huxiaoyuan overlooks Boling and Fanyang from a high position. Although it is only a hundred miles in radius, to these two counties, it is like a sharp sword hanging over their heads. If they are not in their own hands, they will Even when sleeping, you have to open one eye and look in this direction.
When the Qin Dynasty was strong and powerful, the Central Committee never completely assigned the Huxiao Plain to any party, but rather narrowly drew a line from the middle, giving half to Fan Yang and half to Boling.
No one can take advantage of anyone else, and they can also restrict each other.
This is the wisdom of the central bosses. You will never let the mountains below be dominated by one family. Only if you fight back and forth can the top be as stable as Mount Tai.
Even though both families only occupied about fifty miles of the square, they unanimously set up a county seat and military camp on Huxiao Plain.
These are Longpan County and Huju County in Huxiao Plain.
In fact, although the Huxiao Plain is large and flat, it is not a suitable place for people to live and work in peace and contentment. Because the plain is extremely short of water resources, farming depends on God's face. If the weather is good this year, the harvest will naturally be good. They have plenty of food and clothing, but if there is any disturbance, the people on this plain will not be able to support themselves.
What is more important on the Tiger Roar is its military significance.
When the country is at peace and the people are at peace, the two families are naturally in a relationship with each other, and everyone knows each other's needs. People on both sides often intermarry and have frequent exchanges. The original land is also peaceful.
But after the central power began to decline and local forces gradually became stronger, the situation began to change.
The two families began to fight openly and covertly on the original site.
The routines are cliche, but extremely useful.
First, the villagers below are encouraged to move the boundary monument and occupy the fields, and then a conflict breaks out between the two sides. Then the clan forces intervene, and the fighting escalates. Finally, the officials of the two places appear. After a fight, the stronger party will naturally win the final victory. .
Later, as one party became more and more declining, the other party became more unscrupulous. No longer satisfied with the occupation that still needed an excuse, it began to squander the territory directly. If you are not convinced, then fight.
After decades of this, the Fan Yang Lu family has only retained the last piece of land in the northeast corner of Huxiao Plain, which is less than twenty miles away. Even Longpan County, where the county seat is located, has been lost to the Cui family.
Lu Xin gritted his teeth and insisted on preserving the remaining area no matter what. Although it was only one-fifth of the size of Huxiao Plain, as long as it still existed, it would leave a reason for future counterattacks, also in the future. Once the two families really go to war, there is still a stronghold here, which can buy Fan Yang some time to prepare.
There are now less than 5,000 people left in this place called Baihu Village. More than 1,000 of them are sergeants. The remaining several thousand people are basically the family members of the sergeants. They usually work as farmers. Solve some of the food.
If Lu Xin hadn't successfully advanced to Xiantian two years ago, giving the Lu family top-level military support, there is a high probability that Baihu Village would not have been saved.
This year, Boling County received a military threat from Yangguan. The Cui family wanted to make good friends with the Fan Yanglu family to jointly resist the Beiting Protectorate. Only then did the relationship between the two parties get better, and Baihu Village finally relaxed. I feel that this winter has definitely been better.
As long as Boling is still fighting, there should be peace on the White Tiger Plain.
It's just that the people in Baihu Village were not happy for a few days.
Because Lu Zhi went up the mountain.
Lu Zhi is the current governor of Fanyang County and Lu Xin's eldest son. His first order after his arrival was to impose martial law, and the entire Baihu Village entered a state of war readiness.
The well-equipped troops that came up the mountain immediately made everyone in Baihu Village understand what was about to happen.
The head of the family wanted to take advantage of Boling County's attack on Yangguan to get back the original land that had been lost a few years ago.
Linghu Zhishu personally led the team to Huxiaoyuan. Following him were a total of three thousand well-equipped and well-trained Wolf Fang Brigades originally affiliated with Wolfsburg.
After seriously taking over Wolf Fort, Linghu Zhishu handed over all the power belonging to Wolf Fort except the Langya Brigade. Only the Langya Brigade, which he had devoted countless efforts to, was retained by him.
"Brother Linghu, you have also seen that with the few troops we have in Baihu Village, we will definitely not be able to cooperate with you in the battle. We can only ensure logistics for you." Lu Zhi looked at Linghu Zhishu and said.
"Give me at least a hundred scouts who are familiar with the situation on the plain!" Linghu Zhishu did not insist. This time he secretly detoured to Fan Yang and then climbed to the Huxiao Plain from Fan Yang, just to catch the Cui family off guard.
"There is no problem with this. The Cui family's armored men went down to the plains, and now those who are left behind are some auxiliary soldiers and militia groups, which are vulnerable!" Lu Zhi said with a smile: "Brother Linghu is an elite of the border army, so he is unstoppable."
Linghu Zhishu laughed and said, "I'd like to give you a good word. The Lu family has cooperated with us in this battle and provided sufficient food and logistics support. Once the matter is completed, the imperial court will not treat you Lu family badly!"
"My father is also preparing to go to Chang'an and follow the commander-in-chief to make a career!" Lu Zhi complimented: "If Brother Linghu doesn't mind it, Lu will also be willing to work here in the future."
"I can only dream of a talent like Brother Lu!" Linghu Zhishu laughed.
Now his position is a bit embarrassing. He is suspected by Linghuye's two sons. He has been kept in Boling since he was relieved of the command of Wolfsburg. This is not unrelated to this matter. He can compete with a powerful local faction like the Lu family Taking refuge is naturally a dream for him.
This time he went to the plains to fight, and Lu Zhi accompanied him all the way, and claimed that he would be stationed in Baihu Village to provide him with logistical support. He also regarded this as a way to close the relationship with him and pave the way for the future.
Of course, the more capable friends the better.

It’s just that he might never have imagined that when Lu Zhi and he were drinking and chatting, planning together how to make a thunderous blow to several strongholds occupied by the Cui family and quickly occupy the entire Huxiao Plain, another important member of the Lu family The character appeared in Huju County, the most important stronghold of the Cui family in Huxiaoyuan.
Lu Ping was really shocked when he saw Cui Shu.
The person stationed in Luju City has always been Cui Xin of the Cui family, a master of Xuanyuan's eight mouths. He has a good personal relationship with Lu Ping. It is precisely because of this that Lu Zhi asked Lu Ping to come and inform Linghu Zhishu. There was news that he was about to attack the Cui family, but he never expected that Cui Shu, who was rumored to be seriously injured and could not afford it, would actually appear in Huju City.
Of course, Cui Shu was indeed seriously injured, missing an arm, and his complexion looked extremely bad, but an innate master was an innate master, and Lu Ping immediately lost half his height if he poked him wherever he went.
Cui Shu was on equal terms with his father, Lu Xin.
"Linghu Zhishu wants to occupy Hujuyuan?" Cui Shu thought to himself. The old man really has a clever plan. The Linghu family really wants to kill two birds with one stone. "But since the Lu family lent them the road, why did you come to deliver the letter to us?"
Lu Ping said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, we have no control over the changing king's flag on the top of Chang'an City. What his final surname is, but Boling and Fan Yang have always been named Cui and Lu, although our families have also changed from time to time. It's dirty, but it's harmless in the end. If this Tiger Roaring Plain falls into the hands of the order, In the hands of the Fox family, Boling and Fan Yang will probably have to change their surnames in the future. Our Lu family can still see through this mystery, so my brother thinks that this is an opportunity, and we just need to return to the past. Just make it old! ”
"You just sent such a message, and you want to take away half of the Tiger Roar Plain? Isn't it too expensive?" Cui Shu sneered.
Lu Peng looked at Cui Shu's broken arm and said meaningfully: "Uncle Shi will also gain the full support of my father! Now, whether the Cui family or the Lu family, life is actually difficult, so holding together for warmth is the best way. The best!”
Cui Shu pondered for a long time. The cooperation Lu Ping mentioned was not only to deal with Linghu Zhishu in Huxiaoyuan this time, but also the next two alliances. If they can succeed, he will be given half of Huxiaoyuan. Nothing.
"Okay, for the sake of the Lu Xinlu family head, I agreed!" Cui Shu said with a smile: "After I capture Linghu Zhishu alive, you can return to Longpan County!"
"Thank you, Uncle Shi!" Lu Ping bowed and thanked him. "The nephew will return now and tell my brother the good news!"
He was eager to return home, and he had to let Lu Zhi know as soon as possible that Cui Shu had gone to the Tiger Roar Plain!
