The people present were Li Ke, Yuchi Baolin, Wang Xiaowu and Zhou Da.
Everyone's reaction was the same as Li Ke's.
The plan is simple.
Three captures and three attempts to capture Princess Chen Xiyuan of the Ming Dynasty and make Chen Xiyuan Lu Bu's woman completely angered Lu Mingzhou.
Next, Lu Mingzhou will definitely attack Fanyang County frantically.
As long as Fanyang County is impregnable.
Lu Mingzhou will definitely increase his troops frantically, mobilize the entire Lu family's army, and besiege Fanyang County.
Du He's previous preparations were all for this day.
For several days in a row, Lu Mingzhou frantically attacked Fanyang County, which is the best example.
Starting from yesterday, Fan Yang's army suddenly stopped attacking, and a steady stream of troops appeared outside the city.
As of today, Fan Yang's army has more than 30,000 people.
Du He said: "I have sent people to find out clearly. The Lu family claims to have an army of 200,000. In fact, there are only 120,000 troops. Among them, Tianbao General Wang Tian leads 60,000 troops, and the rest are all
They are scattered all over the place. Now, Lu Mingzhou has ordered all the troops to move closer to Fan Yang. In less than five days, the Lu family's 120,000 troops will completely surround Fan Yang County."
Zhou Da analyzed calmly: "Consort, shall we wait for reinforcements from the imperial court next? If the imperial reinforcements cannot arrive within five days, wouldn't we all be doomed?"
"yes!"
Du He suddenly laughed: "Who said we have to wait for reinforcements from the imperial court? There are only 120,000 troops, why do we need the imperial army to dispatch? Wouldn't it be better for us to solve it ourselves?"
"Us?" Zhou Da's eyes widened, "But we only have less than 5,000 people! How is that possible!"
"It may not be possible. We will find out in five days. Now, there are two major things to be done. Commander Yuchi obeys the order." Du He suddenly said seriously.
Yuchi Baolin stood up straight: "The end will be here!"
"Captain Yuchi, Lu Mingzhou will definitely send people to attack the county seat in the next few days. You lead the rebel army and must defend the county seat without making any mistakes."
"yes!"
Du He said again: "General Zhou, listen to the order!"
"The end is here!"
Du He ordered: "General Zhou, the rebel army consumes an astonishing amount of food and weapons every day, but now the county government's treasury is empty. Next, I will leave it to you."
"ah?"
Zhou Da was stunned.
I can't even conjure up food and weapons.
Du He said with a smile: "General Zhou, you are familiar with Fan Yang, and you must be familiar with those big households. The big households have food, weapons, and equipment. Ask them to borrow them."
Is it really a loan?
Zhou Da gritted his teeth: "Yes!"
Everyone then divided up to prepare.
…
Just as Du He expected.
For several days in a row, an angry Lu Mingzhou sent people to attack the county seat.
However, the rebel army of less than 5,000 people went crazy and used all the tools to defend the city, repelling the attacks of Fan Yang's army time and time again. They used bows and arrows, stones, sticks, tiles, bricks, and dogs.
Shit, human urine...these are all weapons used by rebels to defend the city.
Fan Yangjun camp.
"King Ming, why do you want to stop the attack at this time? The rebel army is no longer able to survive. Give me another chance. I will definitely capture Fanyang County tonight." A general looked at Lu Mingzhou in confusion.
Lu Mingzhou said coldly: "From now on, don't attack. After our Lu family's 120,000 troops are assembled, we will take Fanyang County in one fell swoop."
"But... Prince Ming, does the small Fanyang County really need so many people? We already have nearly 40,000 people, and it will be a matter of time before we take Fanyang County."
"Okay, at this time, I have decided that anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed." Lu Mingzhou said firmly.
No one dared to speak anymore.
Ever since he was captured and manipulated by Du He three times and sent away Princess Ming, Prince Ming has fallen into a state of madness.
…
the other side.
Within the county seat.
Zhou Da went on a killing spree.
On the first day, he smiled and went to the house to discuss with the big families about borrowing food and weapons.
But these big businessmen who had good relations with Zhou Da suddenly turned against them and refused to give Zhou Da any face.
Early the next morning, Zhou Da led 300 soldiers, knocked on doors and directly reported the amount of food and supplies. If he couldn't collect all the supplies, he would not leave.
Some big business owners wanted to resist, but were beaten directly by Zhou Da and his men.
For a time, the entire Fanyang County was named King of Hell of Zhou.
Zhou Da knew that his reputation was completely ruined this time.
However, he had no choice.
…
The five days are up.
Under the command of King Ming, Tianbao General Wang Tian arrived with an army of 60,000.
Lu's 120,000-strong army was so dark that it was like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun, surrounding Fanyang County.
Fanyang County is flat on all sides and has no support around it. It is also located on high ground and slowly declines in all directions.
On the city wall, the rebels looked at Fan Yangjun coldly.
"Bah, there are so many people! Our rebel army has killed thousands of Fan Yangjun during this period. We have lost less than a hundred people. Fan Yangjun is just a bunch of losers."
"The Prince Consort said that we are invincible!"
"The rebel army is mighty!"
someone shouted.
These guys in tattered armor and dirty bodies were all in high spirits, as if they had taken drugs.
Click.
Click.
Lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.
Thunder rumbled and the city walls trembled.
Not long after, it rained heavily.
Night swallowed up the earth.
…
Zhuozhou City.
The army led by Qin Qiong has arrived in Zhuozhou.
But facing this downpour, it was impossible to move forward.
Qin Qiong was extremely anxious.
He turned to look at Zhuozhou Governor Liu Wentong: "Master Liu, is there any news from Fanyang County today?"
Liu Wentong said: "General Qin, the last wave of scouts brought back the news in the afternoon. Tianbao General Wang Tian has led an army of 60,000 to return to Lu Mingzhou. The Lu family has a total of 120,000 troops, and they have surrounded Fanyang County. It seems that,
We will attack Fanyang County tonight."
Qin Qiong worriedly ordered: "Mr. Liu, quickly gather the soldiers and horses of Zhuozhou, and follow my general to rush to Fanyang County. If you are late, Du He and the King of Shu will be in trouble. Your Majesty's decree, I have been doing it a few days ago."
I received it. Soldiers and horses from all over the country are rushing to Fan Yang, but it’s too late... We have to get there first to attract Fan Yang’s army’s attention.”
A few days ago, he also received a secret edict from His Majesty Li Er.
In the secret edict, Li Er warned him that he must save Du He and the King of Shu at all costs.
However, when she turned around, Qin Qiong saw Liu Wentong shaking his head.
Liu Wentong said: "General Qin, I can't go with you."
