My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 193: Raising Fire as a Signal
"I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

Hao Meng, who had suffered serious injuries, did not dare to show any anger and continued to struggle and beg for mercy.

"Humph! You really deserve to die!"

"You are such a heartless and ungrateful traitor. If it were me, Cheng Lian, I would have cut you into pieces. Big brother is so loyal that even though he knew you had betrayed Lu Wu, he still gave you one last chance just now, but you were stubborn and wanted to die."

Cheng Lian became even angrier upon hearing this, and kicked Hao Meng hard on the other side of his face, this kick directly breaking his jaw.

Hao Meng's face was covered in blood and he looked extremely miserable.

"We are brothers, I won't kill you!"

Lu Yi turned his back and didn't look at Hao Meng again.

"Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother. Hao Meng will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future!"

Hao Meng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Now there was nothing else in his mind. As long as he could continue to live, it was better than any extravagant hope.

"It's too early for you to be happy!" Cheng Lian drew his sword from his waist and walked towards Hao Meng with a grin.

"Brother said he wouldn't kill you, but I'm going to kill you!"

"Lift him up!"

Cheng Lian gave an order, and the old auxiliary soldier behind Hao Meng, who had always obeyed his orders, immediately lifted Hao Meng up from the ground.

"Why did you betray me? Am I not good enough to you?"

At this moment, Hao Meng's hatred for the group of disloyal auxiliary soldiers behind him exceeded that for Lu Yi and Cheng Lian who was about to kill him.

He turned his head with great effort and looked at the fifty auxiliary soldiers, whose faces were twisted and full of resentment.

"We have always been under the command of the master of the house, not your slaves. How can we talk about betrayal?"

"That's right. You betrayed your master and Lü Wu. Where do you think my family and I should be?"

"Not everyone is as ungrateful as you, a traitor!"

However, all the auxiliary soldiers showed hatred on their faces and directly scolded Hao Meng.

They were either servants or refugees, and they were grateful to Lu Yi for saving them from danger.
Moreover, their family is now in Luwu. If Hao Meng really lets the Xianbei people into Luwu, it will be a disaster for everyone in Luwu.

In the midst of chaos and war, who cares whether you are a family member who opened the city gate?
If Lu Yi had not ordered them to follow Hao Meng, they would have attacked Hao Meng to death with their swords in the face of such a traitor.

"Then why did you betray my brother?" Cheng Lian was furious when he heard this, and stabbed Hao Meng through the heart with a sword.

"Ah!" Hao Meng screamed and tried to reach out to grab the face of his former good brother who had killed him, but his hand dropped down weakly halfway up.

But Cheng Lian was still not satisfied after killing Hao Meng. He shouted and swung his sword, cutting off Hao Meng's head.

After Hao Meng's ugly head rolled silently on the ground for several times, it was suddenly stepped on tightly by a big foot.

"The Xianbei people will enter the city at dawn. They are distinguished guests who have come from afar, so as their host, we must entertain them well."

Lu Yi snorted coldly, his face frosty.

"Make arrangements at the north gate immediately. I want to make sure that Hu Tuo, the barbarian, and Su Shuang, the traitor, never return!"

"Yes!" Cheng Lian immediately accepted the order.

"Brother, it's just..." But he changed the subject and looked at Lu Yi hesitantly: "How should we deal with Hao Meng's family?"

"Hmm..." After Lu Yi pondered for a moment, he sighed and said, "Hao Meng has been executed, and his family members were not involved. The disaster will not affect his family members. We should first imprison them. After we drive the Xianbei people back to the northern frontier, we will give them some money and drive them out of Luwu."

"Brother is still kind and righteous. This bitch Hao Meng really failed you!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lian couldn't help but show indignation on his face and felt sorry for Lu Yi again.

"Go down and make the arrangements." Lu Yi waved his hand, with no strange expression on his face.

The reason why he treated Hao Meng's family in this way was mainly for his own reputation.

Every move of a leader will have a profound impact on those who depend on him.

Whether being too ungrateful or overly favoring others will increase the chance of subordinates betraying you.

Now it’s good to have one kill and one comfort.

The combination of kindness and force can not only deter other people with ulterior motives from acting out their evil intentions, but also make those who are loyal to Lu Yi feel warmed and more loyal.

It was already late at night, and there were only three hours left until dawn.

In order to properly welcome Hu Tuo, everyone in Luwu was busy and hidden.

While Lu Wu was busy, Gao Shun and Hu Tuo's troops, who had been hiding outside for half a year, also began intensive preparations for war.

"It will be dawn in three hours. You should quickly feed the horses with fine feed and be ready to attack the Hutuo army tomorrow morning!"

Ten miles away from Luwu, where Gao Shun's troops were hiding, Gao Shun gave orders to his eight hundred men who had been severely trained by him for more than half a year, had been completely transformed and were full of anger.

"promise!"

……

"In three hours, the insider will open the north gate of Luwu. Don't save on wine and meat tonight. Make sure all the young men in the tribe are well fed and well-drinked. We won't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight. We can sleep well in the tall and sturdy Luwu!" In the temporary camp of Hutuo's tribe ten miles away from Luwu, Hutuo excitedly gave orders to his men again and again.

And Su Shuang behind him also had an expression of unbearable excitement on his face.

"It's been too long! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

"Lü Yi, today is the day you die!"

"Brother Zhang, I, Su Shuang, can finally avenge you!"

……

Before dawn.

The 7,000-strong army of Hutuo had completed its repairs and was quietly hiding in the darkness in front of Luwu.

They held their fists in their mouths and their horses wrapped their hooves, and did not make any unusual movements.

After learning last night that the city gates would be opened by an insider today, these Hu soldiers were extremely excited.

Not to mention the fall of Huto's city, the order to not put down the sword for a day is still in effect.

During this period of time, they were defeated twice at the gates of Luwu City, which made them very angry.

After a night of rest, their energy and morale have reached their peak.

A moment later, the sun rose and dawn broke.

Suddenly, one of the torches on the top of the north gate began to shake with a huge amplitude.

The firelight was particularly obvious in the still dim sky and was immediately captured by Hu Tuo, Su Shuang and others.

"Here they come!" Hutuo was excited and immediately wanted to select a general to lead the majority of the troops to respond to the secret signal and enter Luwu.

But at this moment, Su Shuang suddenly dismounted and knelt in front of him.

"Commander Hutuo, Su and Lu Yi have an irreconcilable feud. Please allow me to lead my troops into Luwu to seek revenge!"
