Faced with the menacing Xianbei people, Yuan Shu also issued the governor's order, ordering all counties and counties to clear the walls and fortify the city. At the same time, he recruited strong men to temporarily join the army to defend the city.
Zhending Mansion is extremely hot, and the craftsman camp and Zhang Family Workshop are working hard to build military equipment.
The Zhao family sent 300 family knights to Yuan Shu to temporarily join Zhao Yun's command. At the same time, they also sent people to Wuhuan Grassland to borrow troops.
The Li family gave full support, and all 800 guards joined the army to support Yuan Shu.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yun and Gao Lan had already set off for Panshe Ridge with their cavalry, Yuan Shu's close cavalry and the Zhao family's private cavalry, a total of 3,600 cavalry and 200 mountain climbers.
Their tasks were first to inspect the terrain and prepare stones for blocking the mountains, and secondly to find out the actual situation of the Xianbei people and prepare for the subsequent big battle.
On the third day, the 10,000 militia led by Yuan Shu, accompanied by 2,000 civilians and 800 Li family guards, mounted more than 2,000 ox carts loaded with needed supplies and set out for Panshe Ridge.
This time, Yuan Shu only took Tian Feng with him on the expedition, while Ju Shuo was left behind in Zhending Mansion to take charge of the rear.
The first is to look for the Sun family's treasury and the Sun family's secret passages. These are hidden dangers.
The second is to keep an insurance policy. Although it is said that this battle can only be won but not defeated, if anything happens, Jushou will be there so that he will not panic.
Yuan Shu was well prepared, and the Xianbei people were also unambiguous.
After they plundered Fuping, they went south along the Guan Road, passing by Quyang, heading south to Tang Dynasty, and then went straight to Zhending.
Although the counties and counties along the way were all clear and deserted, they still had enough food and clothing and were very happy after all the killings.
"Brother, this journey has been hard on you~"
Doganda came to Sun Fang's tent with a jar of good wine in his hand.
"Clan leader, I'm fine, but several of my clan's children actually sacrificed their lives. It's really my fault, Sun Fang~"
Looking at Doganda, Sun Fang couldn't help but frowned, what was this guy doing here?
"Hahahaha, brother is joking. The reason why those people died can only be blamed on their incompetence, nothing else."
Doganda couldn't help laughing when he heard Sun Fang's words.
“I don’t know what the clan leader is talking about when he comes to my place~”
Duo Ganda drank a large bowl of wine.
"Nothing else, I just want to ask something~"
"If you have anything to do, please tell me, clan leader. Sun must tell you everything you know, and tell him everything he wants."
coming.
Sun Fang calmly replied to Doganda.
"Brother, according to the current speed, we will reach Zhending Mansion in less than seven days. However, this Zhending Mansion is the seat of a county after all. The walls are high and the city is strong. We, the Xianbei people, are good at fighting in the field but not good at attacking cities. I don't know when the time comes. Brother
What are your plans~"
"Clan leader, please rest assured on this point. Although Zhending Mansion is high in the city, it is not big enough in front of me, Sun Fang."
It turned out that he was asking about the siege. This Doganda was not as stupid as other Xianbei people.
"I hope my brother will speak out~"
Doganda drank again and again.
"My Sun family has been operating in Zhending Mansion for decades. There are still many hidden chess pieces in the city. As long as we can reach the outside of the city, with a signal from me, they can open the city gate and let us enter the city."
"What if your people can't control the city gate? After all, they are just civilians."
Although Sun Fang said this, Doganda didn't really believe it. Even if you buried nails, so what? If you can't open the city gate, why should you use your life to fill it?
"Haha, Patriarch, do you know how the Sun family's children and I escaped from Yuan Shu's clutches~"
Sun Fang frowned again, this guy had to force out all his backhands.
"I don't know~"
"There is a secret passage in the ancestral home of my Sun family, which can lead directly to the outside of the city.
If the internal forces cannot open the city, we will enter the city through this secret passage.
I believe that Yuan Shu never dreamed that we would suddenly appear in the city. When the time comes, we should cooperate with the outside to capture the Zhending Mansion. Does the patriarch think it will be difficult?"
"In that case, I'll give this jar of wine to my brother, and I'm leaving~"
After hearing Sun Fang's explanation, Doganda felt relieved. After all, the job of attacking a city was really difficult, and it would be great if he could sneak in.
"Clan leader, walk slowly~"
After sending Doganda away, Sun Fang looked towards Zhending Mansion. It was the place where he was born and raised, but it was a pity that it would be destroyed by his own hands in a few days.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lift the jar of wine, put the mouth of the jar towards his mouth, and drank heavily.
"Yuan Shu, I, Sun Fang, will definitely kill you with my own hands and use your head to worship the ancestors of my Sun family. Just wait for me."
"Zhou Ke, is it possible to go up this cliff?"
In one day, Zhao Yun and Gao Lan arrived at the outskirts of Panshe Ridge. Looking at the winding canyon and steep stone walls, they couldn't help but frown.
"General, as you said, this is what we do. If we couldn't even climb up this cliff, we would have starved to death~"
Zhou Ke is the leader of the medicine men this time. They make a living by climbing mountains to collect medicines, and Ju Shou specially recruited them for this operation.
"Well, you should act quickly. You must remember everything the Registrar told you~"
After hearing Zhou Ke's words, Zhao Yun felt relieved. It was really difficult for him to lead people to climb this cliff. Now he admired the two gentlemen even more.
"Don't worry~"
After Zhou Ke finished speaking, he whistled and saw the two hundred medicine men each taking out a flying lock from their arms.
After a few rotations, they flew towards the trees on the cliff. After pulling them together, they climbed up the cliff along the rope like monkeys.
After several operations like this, everyone has reached the top of Panshe Ridge.
"General, there are a lot of stones on this mountain, which can fully meet the requirements of the Registrar~"
Although Zhou Ke shouted, this was a life-and-death battle, and he did not dare to be careless. He got off his horse and came to the edge of the cliff.
"General, if you want to come up, wait until I put the rope for you~"
Seeing Zhao Yun's appearance, Zhou Ke quickly let go of the rope.
"No need~ Wherever I, Zhao Yun, want to go, nothing can stop me~"
As Zhao Yun spoke, he glanced at the cliff with his eyes. After looking around, a confident smile appeared on his lips.
With a twist, Zhao Yun soared into the air, his hands and feet just stuck in the gap between the four stones.
He jumped again and soared into the air again. After repeating this process five or six times, his feet had reached the top of the cliff.
"The general is really a genius~"
Seeing Zhao Yun climbing the mountain, the medicine men above were so shocked that they could not speak.
"Nothing else, it's just what you can see~"
Zhao Yun didn't take this seriously at all. He went to the top of the mountain and inspected it. There were living rocks everywhere, which could indeed satisfy Jushou's plan.
"In that case, I'll leave this to you Zhou Ke~ I will definitely take credit for you~"
"Thank you, General~"
After arranging the place, Zhao Yun flew down, like a dragon swimming on the cliff, and fell to the ground after a few flips.
"Yuan Fang, you bring fifty people up. If these medicine people do anything strange, they will be killed without mercy~"
