Several waves of small offensives by the Han army for several days still did not work, but the Han army still seemed to be happy and did not have the slightest intention of stopping the siege. Every day at dawn, the Han army would beat drums and raise flags to invade, but strangely enough, each offensive lasted less than a few quarters of an hour, and then the flag died down and the whole army retreated, and so on for several days. The defenders of Lanzhou City also figured out the opponent's hole cards, so they were doubly vigilant every morning.

Lu Zuo has been getting worse these days, and the battle situation in front of him has made him a little confused, after learning that the enemy army has been reinforced, Lu Zuo has a headache even more, and he originally planned to approach the capital in one go, but he didn't expect Gao Yun to be so difficult, and now there are reinforcements, and it seems impossible to take the other party in one go. Liu Xingyuan and others also began to fidget, seeing that the morale of the three armies was declining day by day, and the pride of everyone's uprising was gradually consumed by the guerrilla strategy of the other party, so they collectively came to Lu Zuo's place to ask for advice to see if they would go out of the city and fight to the death with the Han army.

Lu Zuo has been unwell in the past few days, so he has been recuperating in Fan Sui's mansion. The middle hall of the Fan Mansion is spacious, and a group of more than a dozen people who came to find Lu Zuo can gather in the middle hall of the Fan Mansion. Seeing that they were talking about the major events of the confrontation between the two armies, Fan Sui wanted to say goodbye very reasonably, but he still asked Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Fu to stop him, saying that Fan Yuanwai could fight for the righteous army and squander money, and there was nothing to avoid, so he sat on the main seat as usual to entertain everyone.

At the beginning, everyone said a word to me, each expressed their opinions, and some people felt that they should go out of the city and fight to the death with Gao Yun, with our righteous army brave and good at fighting, we can definitely defeat the Han army. Some people also think that it is inappropriate, thinking that a hard encounter will only hurt both sides, so it is better to refuse not to fight, slowly drag down the Han army, and then give the Han army a head-on blow when the time is ripe......

The people in the middle hall are different, and they all have their own reasons. After everyone quarreled for a while, Lu Zuo, who was sitting at the top, gradually turned pale, coughed weakly twice, and the hall suddenly quieted down, and they all turned their eyes to Lu Zuo, in their eyes, some were concerned, some were worried, some were angry, and some were dazed......

"Brother Lu, in my opinion, we should open the city to meet the enemy, I, Huo Jin, will be the first to take the lead, and those who are afraid of death will obediently hide in the city and see how I take Gao Yun's head."

Huo Jin's high-pitched voice attracted everyone's attention, everyone looked at Huo Jin, whose face was flushed with anxiety, and then looked back at Lu Zuo, who was pale, the atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward, and everyone didn't know how to answer. Even Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Fu felt that Huo Jin shouldn't be so abrupt at this time.

Liu Xingyuan's face was also gloomy at the moment, seeing that Lu Zuo was still expressionless and did not answer, he was also a little anxious in his heart, and when he saw Huo Jin's arrogant expression, he couldn't help frowning rarely, but he still tried his best to restrain his emotions, and said: "Brother Huo, at this moment, we should calm down and think about countermeasures, and not ......."

"What do you mean by that?" Huo Jin became impatient, "Did you say that I was stirring up trouble?" ”

"This ......" Liu Xingyuan was dumbfounded by the prevarication, and instantly felt disgraced, but he still smiled and said, "It's good that Brother Huo has his own opinions, but he also needs to listen to the opinions of the audience. ”

When Huo Jin was about to speak, Lu Zuo suddenly spoke: "What King Ning said is right, Brother Huo doesn't need to be anxious. Since Liu Yan has sent reinforcements now, it shows that he is already very jealous of us. Retreat, who is the main commander of the reinforcements this time, have you inquired clearly? ”

Chen Huizhi blushed in a hurry, raised his eyes and looked at the two masters sitting in front of him, and didn't dare to respond.

Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Fu's eyes flickered, their expressions were strange, Lu Zuo seemed to understand something, and asked again with certainty, "Retreat, is there anything that can't be said about this?" ”

Chen Huizhi hurriedly blurted out: "You better ask the master about them!" ”

Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Fu glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to answer.

"Let's get straight ahead!" Huo Jin suddenly stood up again and said, "The main general of this reinforcement is Brother Lu's brother-in-law, An Shiqing. ”

Lu Zuo listened, his face did not fluctuate, and when he saw that everyone did not speak, he looked back at his wife who was sitting beside him, and saw that she was thoughtful and complaining, Lu Zuo's face instantly became more and more pale.

After a moment of silence in the middle hall, Jing Jingruo suddenly spoke, "Although this reinforcement is led by my brother, I am not an unreasonable person. Now that we are clearly divided between the enemy and us, we don't have to think about me, how to deal with it, we should work together, we must understand that now we still have 80,000 rebel brothers behind us to advance and retreat together, if there is a loss, we are sorry for these rebel brothers who worked for us, not me. ”

"Sister-in-law......" Huo Jin's voice was like a bell, her hands clenched into fists, and she said sincerely, "I Huo Jin haven't admired any woman yet, today, you are the first one." ”

Everyone in the hall also saluted Jing Ruo with their fists, and Jing Ruo quickly got up and saluted back, "I understand the intentions of the brothers, since my brother has been ordered to come to meet the enemy this time, he must be prepared." ”

Fan Sui also hugged his fists and said: "The county lord is really a heroine among women, and our righteous army will definitely be able to win this time." How much money is still needed in the army this time, even if you open your mouth, Fan Mou will definitely do his best, and he will not hesitate to do it. ”

Just as everyone was talking, Lu Zuo's left hand seemed to tremble a little disobediently, he knew that the old disease might be about to recur, so he tried his best to restrain it, his left fist tightened, in order not to let everyone find out, he simply stood up, and slammed his fist on the table with emotion, "We are all brothers who share weal and woe now, and we are only allowed to succeed, not to fail." Since all the brothers value me Lu so much, Lu will definitely go all out. Lu now has a plan, you just need to follow my meaning, I think it is not difficult to break the enemy. ”

After all the others in Fan's Mansion dispersed, Fan Sui left Lu Zuo alone, and even Jingruo was pushed back. Lu Zuo had already guessed half of it in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Fan Yuan left a late life, but there is still something important?" ”

The corners of Fan Sui's mouth showed a hint of cunning, but it was quickly covered by his long-experienced smile, "It's nothing important, I just want to ask Mr. Lu, just now you said that you have a plan, the old man is very curious, I don't know if Mr. Lu can trust the old man." ”

Lu Zuo smiled slightly, as expected, Fan Sui is just a businessman, he will choose the rebels, it is just a big gamble, at the moment he is most concerned about not who will be in charge of the dynasty, but his share of the family business, but think about it carefully, what the rebels need most at the moment is Fan Sui's support, if he can't get his support, then he also has a way to fight back, so he must tell the truth to Fan Sui.
