At this time, in Lujiang City, the soldiers and horses of Zhang Liao's department were constantly strengthening the city defense. The soldiers all know that they are going to be devoured next In the face of the continuous attacks of the Jiangdong side, it is the most important thing to seize the time to strengthen the city defense.

The first thing Zhang Liao did when he captured Lujiang was to send someone to inform Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou, hoping that the follow-up soldiers and horses could arrive in the shortest possible time. But even Zhang Liao himself knew that it was very difficult for reinforcements to arrive in time.

The people of Lujiang were also mobilized by Zhang Liao's subordinates to help strengthen the city defense.

The people didn't even dare to say a word. In these years, the one with the knife in his hand is the master. The people are defenseless, and they are used to being oppressed by the Jiangdong family, and now Zhang Liao represents the imperial court, and they are more willing to obey.

Lujiang is one of the granaries of Jiangdong, and there is a large amount of money and grain in the treasury, so Zhang Liao took it upon himself to take out part of the money and grain in the treasury as a reward for the people.

This suddenly raised the enthusiasm of the people of Lujiang. It is true that the fertile fields of the Lujiang River are thousands of miles, but they have little to do with the common people, most of the harvest in their fields has been taken away by the government and the family, and the ordinary people can only pass by tightly. If this kind of life was placed before Liu Yu ascended the throne, the people of Lujiang would not have many complaints, after all, compared to people who often starve to death in other places, it is already a great blessing to be able to have a bite to eat. But this situation slowly began to change after Liu Yu ascended the throne and became emperor. Liu Yu's layout and the world, let the people in the "dark department" spread all over the world how beautiful the life of the people in the Shenwu court is. People everywhere are not so convinced, but they are also full of illusions about the future. If it is true, with Your Majesty's benevolence, sooner or later the world will be unified, and then they will be able to live a good life. Even if they don't have that blessing, won't there still be their children and grandchildren who can enjoy a stable life? If you haven't experienced the life of a pig or a dog, you don't know how precious a stable life is.

Now, after Zhang Liao captured the Lujiang River, he did not commit any offense against the common people, reflecting the jīng demeanor of the imperial court. Let the people of Lujiang feel a lot more at ease, at least they don't have to worry about the scourge of soldiers. And Zhang Liao asked the people of Lujiang to come out to strengthen the city defense, and gave a reward. It's unimaginable! When the court wants the people to do things, they need to be paid!

The people of Lujiang have opened their eyes, and they heard that the Shenwu Imperial Court is benevolent to the people, and it seems that the rumors are true. Seeing the subtle knowledge, it can be seen from the army's style and remuneration that Wang Shi is really good to the people.

Master Wang is so benevolent and righteous, so if we are good citizens, we have to roll up our sleeves and work hard. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of that reward?

Liu Yuping usually instilled some concepts with generals like Zhang Liao when he had the opportunity, such as if he wanted to win the hearts of the people, the necessary efforts should be made. Zhang Liao absolutely listened to Liu Yu's teachings, so he did this. Besides, all this money and grain were taken out of the treasury of Lujiang Mansion, and Zhang Liao was not distressed.

Moreover, Zhang Liao was even more prepared, in case Lujiang couldn't stand it, he would burn the entire treasury of Lujiang with fire, so as not to take it back for Sun Ce. Therefore, it will not be a pity for Zhang Liao to use the money and grain from the treasury of Lujiang now.

Of course, Zhang Liao also took out a lot of money and food for his subordinates, God knows if the reinforcements can arrive in time, and whether he and his subordinates can stand on this Lujiang City in a few days. Giving some money and food to his subordinates is Zhang Liao's intention.

Lujiang was taken by Zhang Liao almost without much damage, and now it is even stronger when it is reinforced. Liu Jun's officers and men have improved their morale by a few points.

Outside Zhang Liao's temporary military tent, Chen Zhi and Mi Fang stood outside. Mi Fang's performance in the Battle of Chibi was very eye-catching, and he was arranged by Zhuge Liang to Zhang Liao's side. This time it is regarded as a huge military achievement, and it has an important role in Mi Fang's promotion to the knighthood. And Chen Zhi, a young man, was valued by Zhang Liao, and he got him to do things by his side. Now Chen Zhike is in the position of captain, which is much stronger than before in Liu Bei.

Both of them came from Liu Bei, and now they are working together under Zhang Liao, so they naturally get along well.

The two chatted outside Zhang Liao's big tent.

"Hey, just more than 2,000 people in our area, how can we guard this Lujiang River." Chen Zhi is a young man, and he thinks more directly.

Since Chen Zhi joined the army, most of the wars he has experienced are very different in strength, so from the bottom of his heart, Chen Zhi always feels that 2,000 soldiers and horses cannot hold Lujiang City.

Although Mi Fang had the same idea, he wouldn't say it, and changed the topic and said: "It's okay to hold on for a few days, our reinforcements are already on the way, as long as we hold on, we can turn defeat into victory." When the time comes, we will make a great contribution. ”

"Great merit, I don't dare to think about it. As long as you can hold the Lujiang River, it will be. Chen Zhi said very simply.

"I said how you young man are like an old fritter. Could it be that you have experienced too many failures with Liu Bei, resulting in no fighting spirit? Mi Fang quipped.

Chen Zhi said unhappily: "General Zifang, what are you talking about!" I'm just talking about things, why are you involved with Liu Bei? ”

Mi Fang smiled in her heart, she was really young, and she was angry when she provoked it like this.

"Well, it's me who is wrong. But we are here in the imperial court, which is much stronger than in Liu Bei. Mi Fang said.

Mi Fang couldn't help but think of the importance she paid to Liu Bei from the beginning, to the indifference at the end, and let herself pretend to be a yellow scarf. This is simply pushing Mi Fang to death. Fortunately, Mi Fang got the guidance of the master, so he got lost, otherwise at this time, the grass on his grave didn't know how high.

Chen Zhi recognized it very much, although Liu Bei valued him very much before, but in fact, he didn't have much reuse. Where is it like the imperial court, he directly gave the military power at once, and also implemented the strategy of a surprise attack on Lujiang with Zhang Liao. Such a risky ploy, actually let these two newcomers who have just joined to participate, except for absolute trust, there is nothing else.

Chen Zhi had a smile on his face and said, "Liu Bei is simply an unbearable past, General Zifang, let's not continue to talk about it." ”

Chen Zhi really doesn't have much memory of Liu Bei.

"Hmm!" Mi Fang also felt that it was not a good topic to talk about Liu Bei often, which would make the sky talk to death.

At this time, a scout rode a war horse, with a very panicked look on his face, and galloped over.

Chen Zhi and Mi Fang immediately straightened their figures, they knew that this was a scout on their side, looking at this look, something important was definitely happening.

"Stop!" Chen Zhi shouted loudly.

The scout quickly stopped the war horse, then quickly dismounted, came to Chen Zhi and Mi Fang, knelt down and said: "General, the little one and others have inquired that Jiangdong Sun Ce, led by Tai Shici and Sun Quan, led 20,000 troops, is now coming straight to my Lujiang River. ”

"What! 20,000 soldiers? Mi Fang was shocked, this is ten times the number of soldiers and horses on his side.

Chen Zhi hurriedly asked, "Is there any news of reinforcements?" ”

The scout had an answer to this, saying, "General, our reinforcements are on their way. But according to the small one, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses showed signs of blocking the arrival of reinforcements. ”

Mi Fang and Chen Zhi's faces changed, and now it will be troublesome. The enemy is ten times more attacking than them, and they can almost surround Lujiang. In addition, Jiangdong sent troops to block the arrival of reinforcements, so that Lujiang became very dangerous.

"How can this be?" Mi Fang was the first to sit still.

Chen Zhi immediately thought of reporting to Zhang Liao.

But Zhang Liao walked out of the big tent, still holding his big knife in his hand, and said with great momentum: "Jiangdong 20,000 soldiers and horses have been killed!" Zhenghe Ben will be mindful! ”

"General Wenyuan, the enemy has 20,000 soldiers and horses, but our army is only 2,000, and the reinforcements are still blocked, it is difficult for us to hold this Lujiang." Mi Fang said worriedly.

"Haha, since ancient times, have battles been decided by numbers?" Zhang Liao said heartily.

Zhang Liao mentioned his big knife and brandished it, he actually practiced martial arts.

"The overlord of Western Chu has 8,000 soldiers and horses to break the 200,000 Qin army. King Wu of Liang resisted the siege of the Seven Kingdoms with a city of land, and I, Zhang Wenyuan, will create a miracle this time! Forever! Zhang Liao finally stood on the ground with a big knife, and the whole person was domineering, which made people admire.

Mi Fang, Chen Zhi and the scout who came to report were all impressed by Zhang Liao's momentum, and they all remembered a thought in their hearts, General Wen Yuan had the chance to win.

"Pass the order, the whole army is ready to fight!" Zhang Liao ordered.

"Yes!" The scout turned around and immediately went to deliver the order.

Zhang Liao turned around and walked into the big tent, and motioned for Chen Zhi and Mi Fang to come in together. Chen Zhi and Mi Fang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed into the big tent.

There is a huge map in the big tent, and if you look closely, it is a map of the Lujiang River, which details all the topography of the Lujiang River. Chen Zhi and Mi Fang were both dumbfounded, it was the first time they had seen such a detailed map, if there was such a thing, their chances of defending Lujiang would be one point more. It's just that why is there such a good thing, why didn't Zhang Liao take it out before?

Zhang Liao saw Chen Zhi and Mi Fang's eyes, pointed to the map and said, "This thing was given to Zhuge by His Majesty, and the military division will be handed over to the general." And told Ben Jiang that once he couldn't take Lujiang, he would be able to take it out. ”

Chen Zhi and Mi Fang understood, it turned out that Zhuge Liang was the ghost. The two complained in their hearts, Zhuge Liang, the boss, is good at everything, but it is a bit too much to like to be mysterious. Usually holding a fan, whether it is winter or not, they fan the wind there, pretending to be mysterious, and now they are doing something mysterious when they march and fight, and they are really speechless.

Zhang Liao didn't know that the two of them had thought so much in their hearts, so he beckoned them over, and said directly on the map: "The general has already received a letter from Zhuge Military Division, and the 30,000 reinforcements transferred from Nanyang and other places will arrive soon, led by General Zhang Xiu. Zhuge military division ordered us to hold the Lujiang River, and when we had to, we could destroy the city of Lujiang! Nothing could be left to Sun Ce. ”

"Sss Chen Zhi and Mi Fang gasped, this Zhuge Liang is really ruthless.

Mi Fang asked, "General Wenyuan, if Lujiang City is destroyed, will Your Majesty blame us?" ”

Mi Fang's worries were right, destroying a city, in the Shenwu Imperial Court, as far as Mi Fang knew, there was none. If this is done, His Majesty will be furious now, and the heads of these executors will be hanging.

Zhang Liao directly scolded: "As a general, you only need to act according to the order." As for whether His Majesty is not satisfied, I don't have to wait. ”

Mi Fang didn't dare to say much, now Zhang Liao is the main general, and everything is up to him. Even if he is convicted in the end, Zhang Liao's official position is still greater, and the crime is greater.

Chen Zhi glanced at the map a few times, and had a trace of speculation about Zhang Liao's intentions in his heart, and said: "General, the last general has the courage to guess that the general just wants to defend this Lujiang City this time. ”

Zhang Liao glanced at Chen Zhi appreciatively and said, "You kid really didn't disappoint Ben General. That's right, we only have 2,000 soldiers and horses, if we mobilize the people, we will not have much problem holding Lujiang City for a while. ”

"But the people of Lujiang may not be willing." Mi Fang interjected.

"That's right. Our army has just occupied Lujiang, and it will not be able to completely subjugate the people's hearts in a short period of time, so holding Lujiang is full of variables. Zhang Liao affirmed Mi Fang's opinion, and then continued: "Ben Jiang did not choose to defend Lujiang from the beginning! Ben will play this big game, and he will break the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong. Let Jiangdong be frightened when he hears the name of my Zhang Liao! ”

Mi Fang and Chen Zhi were attracted by Zhang Liao's words, did Zhang Liao have any huge plans.

Zhang Liao asked Chen Zhi and Mi Fang to come to the edge of the map, and then slowly told them about his plan.

Chen Zhi and Mi Fang couldn't believe their ears, Zhang Liao's plan was too risky, if it failed, it would be ten deaths.

"General, isn't it too dangerous?" Chen Zhi's face was about to turn white, and he was frightened by Zhang Liao's plan.

Mi Fang was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Zhang Liao said confidently: "Ben will have absolute confidence, you can rest assured." Do as Ben orders are!"

They are the main generals, and they can only obey the orders they give, so Chen Zhi and Mi Fang said: "Obey!" ”

Zhang Liao touched his broadsword, and he could feel that his weapon was as full of excitement as he was, and he begged for a big killing.

"If this battle is successful. I, Zhang Wenyuan, should become a famous general in the world! It can be compared with Feng Xian and others. "Zhang Liao is an ambitious person, but his ambition is in his own reputation.

There are many famous generals in the Shenwu Imperial Court, and Zhang Liao's reputation is not bad, but it is a bit bad among so many famous generals.

And this time, Zhang Liao is going to make his name famous all over the world.
