After a night of silence, the next morning, in a noisy sound, Chen Ziqian woke up leisurely.

Xiong Ji, who was waiting closely, entered the big tent, carrying water and towels for him to wash, and said with a smile while waiting: "Just now, Lu Shangyuan sent someone to send a message, saying that the 12,000 soldiers and horses of the Shanyang ** Construction Department are willing to return to the lord, and the team was assembled this morning, and the camp was set out for the county seat......"

"What time is it, where are they going, why didn't you report such important news earlier?" Chen Ziqian's expression instantly became serious, and a series of questions were thrown out as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xiong Ji was startled, and hurriedly explained: "The lord has been working hard for days, and he thinks that such a trivial matter does not need to disturb the lord, so he ......."

"A trif!?" Chen Ziqian casually threw the towel in the basin, and the water stains immediately splashed Xiong Ji's body: "More than 10,000 soldiers and horses went to the county seat, in your opinion, it is actually a trivial matter?" ”

"This ......" Xiong Ji didn't know why, but he also knew that Chen Ziqian was really angry, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt: "The lord is angry, it is ignorant and despicable, please punish the lord." ”

"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you afterwards!" Chen Ziqian didn't care about pursuing it for the time being, and walked out of the big tent angrily.

Xiong Ji had cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to refute anything, so he hurriedly got up and followed.

"When will the Tian and Zhou clan's men arrive?" Chen Ziqian walked towards the city defense while confirming the situation of the various departments.

Xiong Ji wiped his sweat and said, "The Tian clan and the Zhou clan have begun to assemble their teams, and they should be able to enter the city in the afternoon." ”

"Send someone out of the city, go to Shanyang to find ** Jian, tell him that the soldiers and horses of the department will camp on the spot, and let him and Lu Shangyuan enter the city alone to meet me." After Chen Ziqian finished speaking, he went straight to the city tower.

None of the rogues are good, and Chen Ziqian suddenly realized that he had underestimated them a little.

On the surface, the first construction was to surrender to sincerity, but in fact, he arbitrarily mobilized troops and horses without receiving orders, which already explained the intention of attacking.

Chen Ziqian didn't dare to think about it, but the matter had come to this point, in addition to waiting for the Zhou clan and the Tian clan to send troops to strengthen the city defense, he could only wait and see what happened for the time being.

However, the reality is that you can come whatever you are afraid of.

The four major rogue forces of Baoyuan, as if they had discussed it, all sent troops to the county seat this morning.

These people are menacing, except for the ** Jian side sent people to deliver the news, the other three forces simply made no secret of their intention to attack the county seat.

On the road from Xingning to the county seat, Hai Chengyan led 13,000 soldiers and horses to advance in an orderly manner, and from time to time scouts hurriedly ran back to report the situation.

"Report! Yangtun Bao Yizhen's army has marched to the five barns, less than five miles away from the county seat, and has now camped in place to rest. ”

"Report! The Zhou and Tian clans have returned to the Taishou of Yong'an, and are gathering men and horses in an attempt to go to the county seat. ”

"Report! Taixiang Yu Jinghuang is leading his troops to attack Luo Yinshan. ”

Listening to the pieces of information, Hai Chengyan's brows condensed.

Baoyuan's largest forces have all launched operations, and their purpose is self-evident.

But everyone is not stupid, since the purpose is the same, there is naturally no need to fight this head.

Looking at Yang Tun Bao Yizhen, you know that this guy is the closest to the county seat, but at this time, he camped and rested, obviously preparing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Taixiang Yu Jinghuang is even more hateful, at this time, he actually fished in troubled waters, and did not forget to co-opt other small forces.

Aren't they worried that ** Jian will take the county seat in one fell swoop under the pretense of returning to Shun?

Hai Chengyan pinched his jaw and pondered for a while, even the Tian family and the Zhou family were submissive to Chen Ziqian, and the difficulty of attacking the county seat must be several times more difficult for the Zeng family.

**Jian still has the opportunity to cheat, but he doesn't have the capital here, and now attacking the county seat in the past is simply a stepping stone for **Jian.

"No, you can't be cheap." Hai Chengyan rubbed his bright head and said: "The Zhou clan and the Tian clan have limited people, if they go to support the county seat, their Wu Fort will definitely be empty. ”

Haichengyan's eyes lit up, the Zhou family and the Tian family are the Baoyuan family, and the Wubao is full of grain, if they can successfully take these two Wubao, it will be enough for their army to eat and drink in Baoyuan for a year and a half.

When the time comes, when they eat up the rest of the food in their hands, then they still have to bow down to him obediently?

"Pass my order, the county seat will not go, immediately change the route, and go straight to the Zhou Clan's Tian Clan's Wu Fort in the west of the city!" Hai Chengyan gave an order, and the team immediately accelerated its march.

On the other side, on the road leading from Shanyang to the county seat, Lu Shangyuan and ** Jian were also busy receiving information.

Scouts from all walks of life rushed back and forth, and Chen Ziqian's capture of the county seat this time can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and blew up the situation that had been calmed down for more than two months.

Lu Shangyuan said with a dark face: "These ones can really pick the time, but when we use the strategy, they wave the county seat." ”

"Then what are we waiting for, speed up the march!" **The brain is not very bright, and the more this time, the more impatient it is.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped from the direction of the county seat, found them and arched his hand: "Chen Fujun has an order, please General Liu and Lu Junshi immediately enter the city, and the army will rest on the spot and stand by, if there is any violation of the order, it will be killed with chaos!" ”

After speaking, the herald didn't stop, turned the horse's head and hurriedly turned back, not caring whether ** Jian and Lu Shangyuan would carry out the order.

Watching the herald come and go in a hurry, Lu Shangyuan squinted his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that the fake return plan has been discovered by Chen Fujun, and he summoned us into the city with the intention of taking us hostage." ”

"Hmph, since the plan has been seen through by him, then we will directly wave our troops to attack the city!" ** Jianmian showed a murderous opportunity, for fear of missing the first move and letting other forces take advantage.

Lu Shangyuan shook his head angrily and said: "General, don't forget, Chen Fujun has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and there are strong cities to defend, even if we have the advantage of troops, we may not be able to take much advantage if we really want to attack." ”

"Then what do you say?" **Jian ran out of ideas, so he could only wait for Lu Shangyuan to come up with advice.

"There's something to be confirmed." Lu Shangyuan glanced at ** Jian meaningfully: "While you are not yet an enemy of Chen Fujun, it is still too late to sincerely submit to Chen Fujun, you and I only need to enter the city in person, Chen Fujun wants to accept Baoyuan, and now is the time when people are urgently needed, this will be reused, what does the general think?" ”

"Lao Tzu finally escaped from the camp of King Yu with the team, and now you let Lao Tzu go to vote for Chen Ziqian?" **Jian asked with a straight face.

He just didn't want to be subservient to others to betray King Qiao, and now let him switch to someone else, so why bother to escape from King Qiao in the first place?

"Since the general is unwilling to surrender, he can only join forces with Hai Chengyan and them."

Lu Shangyuan squinted his eyes slightly and said: "We have more than 10,000 horses, and the recent training has been quite effective, and we are indeed sure enough to storm the county, but it is inevitable that we will lose the troops and lose the generals, and in the end, even if we can successfully capture the county, they will definitely not sit idly by, and then we will fall into a passive situation, or even work in vain, and make wedding dresses for others." ”

"Of course it's good to join forces, but the military advisor also knows what virtues they are, so can they listen to us at this time?" **Jian had a serious expression on his face, and he still had some understanding of the temperament of those people in Haichengyan.

Lu Shangyuan smiled and said: "In terms of the overall situation, we only have a way out with a joint army, this is the consensus that everyone has reached before, since this is the case, then we will take the Chen Fujun in the city as a bet, and invite Hai Chengyan to attack the city together, whoever can take the Chen Fujun first, who can lead our departments." ”

"This ...... Will it work? ** Jian was a little uneasy, not only worried that he would not be able to take Chen Ziqian, but also worried that Hai Chengyan and others would not abide by the agreement afterwards.

"General, don't worry, as long as they agree, we just have to take down Chen Fujun!" Lu Shangyuan is quite confident, in his opinion, Chen Ziqian is a sweetheart.

As long as everyone works together to attack the city and reduce the losses of all troops, no matter who takes Chen Ziqian in the end, the matter of joining forces can be a matter of course.

After all, Chen Ziqian has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Bashan, pinching Chen Ziqian is tantamount to pinching a way out, and if anyone does not abide by the agreement at that time, it will be tantamount to digging their own grave.

No one would be stupid enough to leave such a big tree unleaning, especially when there is no way out, and there is no reason to miss the opportunity.

Lu Shangyuan has been in contact with Hai Chengyan and Bao Yizhen, and it can be said that among the four major forces, except for ** Jian who is stupid, the others are smart people.

As long as they point out the pros and cons, they will naturally know what to choose.
