They even went to the front line from time to time to reward the troops.

However, the war was serious and Luo Shangzhi had no time to take care of them.

The fighting lasted for eight days.

Luo Shangzhi had already recaptured two capital cities, forcing Li Wengui's army to shrink its defense line towards Jiangxi.

…

Chengtianfu, Changyang County.

This is an extremely important logistics and transportation point in Chengtian Prefecture.

Military supplies transported here every day need to be transferred here and then transported to various lines in Chengtian Prefecture.

At this moment, people kept coming to a remote courtyard in the city, and they were all leaders of the Huguang Jianghu sect.

In the center of the courtyard, a figure in official uniform sat.

Behind him stood two judges of water and fire wearing masks.

Seeing everyone coming in, Lu Wu chuckled and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."

Someone hesitated and said, "Mr. Lu, I wonder why you called me so urgently?"

Lu Wuxian glanced at the man, put down his tea cup with a smile, glanced at everyone, and said calmly: "I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

"I heard that all of you are under Lord Lin's command?"

Everyone looked at each other, not sure what Mr. Lu meant.

Someone cupped his fist and said, "Master Lin is the leader of our Huguang Wulin."

"Haha!" Lu Wu smiled, clapped his hands, and laughed, "Master Lin is really awesome."

There was a sinister tone in his laughter.

"But..." Lu Wu paused and suddenly said: "If I ask you to betray Lord Lin, would you be willing?"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes widened, and they looked at Lu Wu with disbelief.

Betray Lin Mang?

As far as they knew, Mr. Lu was a supervisor sent by the Central Government, and he was said to have a strong background.

People from various sects looked at each other with ugly expressions.

They had a vague feeling of badness.

Someone clasped his fists and whispered with a smile: "Mr. Lu, please stop joking."

"Are you kidding?" Lu Wu chuckled and said, "Do you think I would joke about something like this?"

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

While I was frightened, I was also a little helpless.

What is this?

Lu Wu looked at everyone with a smile and said in a deep voice: "It's been difficult for everyone recently, right?"

"You are responsible for the logistics of the imperial army's campaign. Even the food, money and provisions are all provided by you."

Everyone fell into silence.

Just as Lu Wu said, during this period, these sects have almost lost their financial resources.

Not only did they provide people, but they also provided money and food.

The disciples in the sect suffered heavy casualties.

General Lu Wu took in everyone's expressions and smiled even more: "I know that Mr. Lin promised you that he will repay you double after the war, but how long can you hold on?"

"Third, May Fourth, or Tenth?"

"It's not easy for you to save all this wealth, so why waste it in vain."

"I can tell you clearly that this war will never end so easily."

Everyone was silent again.

The simple words made them feel like they were sinking into the abyss.

Lu Wu picked up the tea on the table and took a slow sip. He stretched out his hand and the Fire Judge behind him handed over a letter.

"You might as well take a look at this."

Everyone hesitantly took the letters. Some people opened them and glanced at them. Their pupils suddenly opened and their eyes widened with anger.

"Master Lu, these matters have nothing to do with my wife and children!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the remaining people changed slightly and they quickly opened the letter.

They glanced at each one, and then their expressions changed drastically.

One person sighed and said helplessly: "Master Lu, what do you want us to do?"

Even though they wanted to kill this guy at the moment, they could only endure it.

These letters were all written by their close relatives, and the meaning contained in them is obvious.

Lu Wu smiled slightly and clapped his hands.

Soon, a person walked in outside the courtyard, carrying a brocade box.

Lu Wu reached out and opened the brocade box.

I saw a box full of banknotes in the brocade box.

Lu Wu said meaningfully: "You are all smart people, I think you should know how to choose."

"If you are willing, one hundred thousand taels per person, and there will be another reward after the work is completed."

Everyone's eyes invariably looked at the banknotes in the brocade box, their eyes flashing.

Lu Wu waited patiently for a while and said with a smile: "I think you all have a choice in mind."

"What you have to do is very simple. The rebel army will attack the city in the future. I would like to ask you to open the city gate then."

"Besides..."

"If there is a distress signal or something like that, I hope you can find an excuse to decline."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Someone glanced at Lu Wu in surprise, feeling as if a thunderbolt had passed through his heart.

This is clearly to give Changyang City to the rebels.

This place is the throat of Chengtian Mansion, and it is also a key transportation point.

If this place is breached and the rebels occupy this place, the entire Chengtian Mansion front will be unable to keep track of each other.

Even people like them know the importance of this place.

Everyone couldn't help but glance at Lu Wu, secretly shocked.

How cruel!

If the battle line is broken, the rebel army will march straight in, and the imperial army, which lacks military rations, will not even have enough to eat, let alone fight.

But... these things shouldn't be their business.

What's more, if they don't agree today, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out of here alive.

Everyone smiled helplessly.

Finally, a person stepped forward and took the banknote from the brocade box.

With one person taking the lead, everyone came forward one after another.

Lu Wu smiled even more happily: "You have made a good choice."

Watching a group of Jianghu sect leaders walking out of the courtyard, a figure slowly walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Lord Lu, you have such a good plan."

Eunuch Tang walked in with a smile and sat down slowly aside.

This time, he poured a cup of tea and carefully tested the temperature with his hands.

After confirming that it was not hot, he tasted it slowly and praised: "Good tea."

Lu Wu smiled and cupped his hands, saying: "To each other!"

Eunuch Tang smiled, not caring about the sarcasm in his words.

Even a literati doesn't care about reputation, let alone a eunuch.

"Our family is just following orders."

"But... aren't you afraid that they will tip off the news?"
