Wang Dong lost Yunze City in two hours, and when he fled to Yucheng with thousands of remnants, Yucheng County Shou Du Wan was organizing troops and preparing to go to Yunze to support!

The 50,000 Zhang army in Yunze City is the only barrier to the land of the four counties in Hedong, that is to say, losing Yunze is equivalent to giving up the other three nearby counties to the Feng army.

Hedong County is the largest county in the Wind Country, with twelve counties under its jurisdiction, and Wang Dong lost four counties in just two hours, which sounds really unbelievable.

Hearing the news from his subordinates, Du Wanyou personally went out of the city to meet Wang Dong, and when he saw the latter's embarrassed appearance, Du Wan was shocked, and while inviting him into the county government, he also asked urgently: "Lord Wang, isn't the Feng army attacking Yunze right now, you are here at this time, but you are here to ask for help?" Don't worry, this official has organized his troops and is preparing to go to Yunze to help Brother Tai! ”

"Oops! What kind of help are you asking for? Yun Ze has been broken by the Wind Army! Wang Dong pounded his chest and said.

"What!?" When Du Wan heard this, he gasped and couldn't help but say, "This ...... Lord Wang, Yunze has 50,000 defenders of my Zhang country, why ...... Why ......"

Before he finished his words, Wang Dong had already preemptively said: "It's not that I'm cowardly, but that the wind army is too brave!" And its vanguard troops, with Su Muzhi as the commander, this person fights like a mad dog! Although Yun Ze has 50,000 defenders, he can't resist the wolf-like wind army, Lord Du don't think about holding on to Yucheng anymore, or go to the county with me, only by concentrating all the troops in the county city defense, can you resist the wind army! ”

Su Muzhi's fighting style of fighting for his life at all costs obviously made Wang Dong feel palpitations. Strictly speaking, Wang Dong actually escaped from the battle, but he would not carry this black cauldron, but planned to persuade Du Wan to flee to the county with him.

If Yucheng held on and successfully stopped the advance of the Feng Army, then Wang Dong's crime of losing Yun Ze in two hours would be even greater!

In order to get rid of this black cauldron, Wang Dong said in front of Du Wan how terrible and fierce the wind army was. And Du Wan is not a general who can fight well at all, but a man of letters, and now when he heard Wang Dong say this, he couldn't help but start to be afraid.

Yun Ze's city defense is almost no different from Yucheng, Du Wan doesn't think that his ability is much stronger than Wang Dong, since Wang Dong lost Yun Ze in two hours, then he will stick to Yucheng, and the final outcome will probably be the same as Wang Dong!

Rather than this, it is better to listen to Wang Dong's words, retreat to the county, combine the 50,000 troops with the 100,000 army of the county, gather your own 150,000 army, and then rely on the defense of the county, hold on to and wait for reinforcements, and wait for the king to transfer reinforcements from the capital.

Wang Dong lost Yun Ze, and Du Wan didn't even fight with the Feng army, so he directly retreated to the county with 50,000 defenders. The two of them, in one day, lost two cities in a row, and lost eight surrounding counties.

When he led his troops to arrive at Hedong County, the head of Hedong County sent by Zhang Guo to serve here was furious, if it wasn't for the other officials next to him, he would have punished Wang Dong and Du Wan with military law on the spot, but at this time, if he wanted them to go back to defense, it was obviously too late.

Wang Dong and Du Wan thought that the defense of the county city was relatively perfect, and they should concentrate their forces and hold the county seat, but they didn't know that every time they took a step back, the Feng army would take a step forward, and the eight counties they retreated from were equivalent to the Feng army recovering the eight counties in Hedong!

On the other side, Lu Chen personally led an army of 400,000 people, which was directly through Yunze and arrived in Yucheng.

When his royal car appeared on the main street of Yucheng, the people on both sides cheered in unison, and a group of women, children, and old men knelt directly in the middle of the street, blocking the way of the procession.

"Bold! Wait for the civilians! Dare to stop the king! Don't get out of the way! Some soldiers shouted angrily.

"Get out of the way." Lu Chen said loudly, he is the monarch, and his chariot is a tall chariot drawn by six horses, so although he is sitting on the chariot, he can still see the situation in front of him.

After the countless guards in front of him were separated from both sides, Lu Chen got up and stood up, and then ordered the entourage of the car to drive, and when the group of old and weak women and children approached, he walked to the edge of the chariot, looked at the group of people kneeling below and asked:

"Why are you waiting to stop the king's car?"

Seeing his own king, the group of old and weak women and children knelt on the ground and began to cry, and an old man said with tears in his eyes:

"The king, I finally looked forward to you, you don't know, since Hedong was occupied by the Zhang thieves, we and the wind people were all regarded as slaves by the Zhang army, not only driven to slavery, but also the annual production of acres of land was forcibly robbed by the Zhang army, and only left daily rations for me......"

"What's even more hateful is that the Zhang army has 200,000 garrisons, and often forcibly plunders our national women to the barracks by force for their animal pleasure! O king--I am a woman from Hedong in the country of Feng, in the past three years, I don't know how many humiliations I have suffered, and I feel that I am alive......"

Hearing the old man's cry, Lu Chen also clenched his fists.

You know, when he didn't claim the title of king, maybe it was nothing, but at this moment he is already the king of the Wind Country, so these people of the Wind Country are his people!

How can he, as a king, not be angry that his people have been subjected to such inhuman mistreatment!

"Everyone, please get up first." Lu Chen took a deep breath and stretched out his hand and said.

"The king must be the master for the people of Hedong—"

"Please rest assured, since this king is the king of a country, he will seek justice for my people!"

After the group of old and weak women and children were helped aside by the soldiers, Lu Chen's mood also became heavy, and at the same time, he also unexpectedly learned a piece of news from the mouths of the people.

That was the grain hoarding of Zhang Jun in Hedong.

The land in Hedong is fertile, and if the Zhang army has squeezed the people so much in the past three years, then the grain and grass hoarded by his army must be a huge number.

And at present, the remaining 150,000 troops of Zhang's army have all shrunk into the county town, although he has an army of 600,000, but if he storms a city held by 150,000 people, I am afraid it will not be so easy!

Lu Chen couldn't help but start thinking about it.

That night, after resting in the Yucheng County Mansion for one night, the next day, he immediately sent a letter to Fengdu, ordering the right minister Xue Huairen and the monk Shangshu to order Li Miaocai to immediately send our officials to the counties of Hedong to serve as county guards.

A few days later, the officials arrived and began to implement new decrees in the recovered eight counties, exempting the people of Hedong from heavy taxes and recuperating in their own lives.
