Chengshan Fort is located in the southwest of Beishan Fort.

It is also located on a small plain surrounded by mountains. The scope of this small plain is very small, and large-scale troops and horses cannot be arranged at all.

The city is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There were originally four to five thousand people in the castle. After the Mongols went south, hundreds of households in the castle, general banner officials and other officials fled south with their families, slaves, and some military households. Currently, there are about three thousand people left in the castle.

.

After all, the time for the Mongolians to gain Liaodong was too short. On the Beishan Fort side, Wu Nian put up a crazy resistance.

They didn't have time to send brave officials to Dashan Fort to take over everything.

To put it simply, Chengshan Fort is currently in a power vacuum stage. The Chu State bureaucrats have withdrawn, and the Mongolian Yuan people have not yet arrived.

This gives careerists an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Just when Wu Nian was in full swing against the Mongolian Yuan people in Beishan Fort, he attracted the attention of the Mongolian Yuan general Jin Huanshan and the Han general Zhang Bu.

Someone stole Chengshan Fort and gained the trust of the people in the fort.

One of them was Lu Jubei, a civil servant from northern Liaoning. When the Mongolians and Yuan people first went south, he took his whole family to flee south and stopped at Chengshan Fort.

In the Chu State, the Juren Master was an official reserve and had great power in the local area. The Lu family was originally a scholarly family, with scholars from the fifth and sixth generations.

In Liaodong, it was common practice to raise family soldiers. When Lu Jubei took his family to the south, he also brought many domestic slaves and soldiers, which were quite powerful.

The other person is named Ma Zheng, who was originally a junior general in Liaodong and served as an official for generations. Before the Mongols and Yuan people went south, officials paid homage to the general banner.

Moreover, Ma Zheng was not a bad Liaodong general. He had real abilities and made good use of Ma Shu. When he fled, he took his subordinates and their families with him, so he was quite powerful.

After the two of them arrived at Dashan Fort, they saw that the war between Wu Nian and the Meng Yuan people next door was in full swing, and they became a little distracted.

One of them was in charge of the people, the other was in charge of the army. They recruited soldiers and horses, gathered militia, and settled in Chengshan Fort, becoming the local emperor.

The sun was shining brightly that morning, but it could not melt away the snow covering the mountains and plains.

Chengshan Fort.

This castle was originally in ruins, but after Ma Zheng's emergency repairs, it is not rock solid now, but at least it is a qualified military fortress, and defense is not a problem.

A banner with the word "Lü" hangs on the city gate tower, announcing that the owner of this place is named Lu Jubei. On the city wall, elite soldiers cooperate with the militia, either standing guard or training. Their equipment is not well-equipped, but they are in high spirits, and there are some

Divide the momentum.

The hundreds of government offices in the city have now become the residence of Lu Jubei. All the old and young of the Lu family live in the government offices.

Ma Zheng was willing to serve as his deputy, leading troops and living in the military camp.

The two of them, one civil and one military, controlled Chengshan Fort tightly.

In the hall, Lu Jubei was wearing a black cotton-padded jacket, sitting on the main seat, with a blue leather hat on his head and black cloth shoes on his feet. He had his legs crossed and was sipping tea leisurely.

Ma Zheng, who is in his mid-twenties, has a very ordinary appearance, but his body is very burly, and his eyes are fierce and murderous.

He was wearing a half-worn war jacket, with a steel knife hanging on his waist, and he was also drinking tea.

"It's been a long time since Wu Nian sent troops to Guangyang Mansion. I don't know what the situation is like now." Ma Zheng put down the tea cup in his hand, with a worried look on his face.

The reason why he dared to establish a foothold in this Chengshan Fortress was because Wu Nian attracted the attention of the Meng Yuan people. If Wu Nian went to Guangyang Mansion and there were some shortcomings, they might not be able to stand.

He didn't know that Wu Nian had already led his troops back, but there was nothing he could do. There was now a lot of snow in the mountains, the mountain roads were difficult to walk, and there was very little information.

Although Chengshan Fort is only a few dozen miles away from Beishan Fort, the news has not yet spread.

Lu Jubei had a different idea. There was a smile in his eyes. He looked up at Ma Zheng and said: "Wu Nian used conspiracy and relied on the castle to kill some Mongolian and Yuan commanders and some Mongolian soldiers. The result was not the same.

I will use my strength to conquer Guangyang Mansion and make Wan Yanxian an enemy. I think he will die in Guangyang Mansion."

Ma Zheng suddenly became anxious. He stood up with a dark face, put his hands on his waist, and walked back and forth: "Wu Nian, why do you want to go to Guangyang Mansion? Didn't he fight very well in Beishan Fort?

"

"Isn't it crazy to send troops to Guangyang Mansion to save Long Qie now?"

"If Wu Nian dies in Guangyang Mansion, then Mr. Lu, we should make plans early."

The so-called plans are just two plans. One is to abandon Chengshan Fort, take the mountain road, pretend to be an ordinary citizen, and go south to the Chu Kingdom.

The second was to form a mountain fortress and surrender to the Mongols.

Ma Zheng was a little panicked, but Lu Jubei was calm and composed. He picked up the tea cup, took a leisurely sip of tea, and then said happily: "Master Ma, don't panic. In my opinion, Wu Nian

It would be good for us if he died in Guangyang Mansion."

"Without Wu Nian at the front, how can we benefit?" Ma Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked. But he quickly remembered that the man in front of him was a scholar, a scholar, and quite resourceful.

Because of this, he was willing to become a deputy.

"What do you think, sir?" Ma Zheng returned to his seat and sat down. He raised his head and looked at Lu Jubei with burning eyes.

"If Wu Nian died in Guangyang Mansion, Beishan Fort would have no owner. The soldiers and civilians there fought with the Mongolians, and their morale was very high, and their will to fight was very determined. They are people who can be used."

"And I am an upright official of the Chu Kingdom. Your Excellency, I am the general banner with the official seal."

"Wu Nian can claim to be the general who assisted the Han Dynasty and coordinate the overall situation. Am I not more qualified than him? If Wu Nian dies in Guangyang Mansion, you will escort me to Beishan Fort and take over all the power of Beishan Fort."

"Master Ma, you are a capable person. I am also a capable person. Let's work together to make a name for ourselves in Liaodong. When the imperial court regains Liaodong in the future, won't we have a bright future?"

When Lu Jubei faced his subordinate generals, he also dug his heart out and spoke out his ambitions and ideas.

As the saying goes, times make heroes.

He was originally a civil servant, but that was all. Seeing that it was no longer possible to study for the imperial examination. Now that such an opportunity was in front of him, he had to seize it.

Ma Zheng was a man with good martial arts skills and a good command of troops.

Wu Nian laid the foundation of Beishan Castle for them again. The most amazing thing is that Wu Nian has now gone to Guangyang Mansion, and his life or death is uncertain.

No.

In his opinion, Wu Nian was dead. The other party was Wanyan Xian. Wu Nian was in Beishan Fort, but he could only resist the attack of Jinhuan Mountain by relying on conspiracy and tricks, as well as the mountains and castles as defense, and went to Guangyang

Mansion, isn't it like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, never to return?

He was just in a position to take advantage of the situation, occupy the magpie's nest, and grab everything in Beishan Castle.

People.

I don't always want to believe what I hear, I only want to believe what I see.

Lu Jubei always believed that the reason why Wu Nian was able to rely on Beishan Fort to accomplish these major events was because of its geographical location and conspiracies.

He is resourceful and has good martial arts skills.

If Wu Nian could do it, they can do it too. Taking Beishan Fort and Chengshan Fort as their foundation, they persisted in resisting the Mongols in the mountains.

Waiting for the Chu State to counterattack Liaodong, they will be the great contributors.
