Now Zhao Fu is still lacking time, although he led the light cavalry out of the army overnight as soon as he learned the news, but Lan Ting's location was really a bit remote, so that he could be easily caught up by Lin Ji, who set off ten days late from the imperial capital.

But fortunately, Zhao Fu's decisiveness still bought him and Zhao Qian a few days, but now in front of the defense line formed by those three cities, these few days still seem to be a little insufficient.

Bailan City definitely can't fight, although the soldiers are treacherous, but Zhao Fu is not a fool, even if he leads a large army to storm Bailan City, it will take a certain amount of time, not to mention that he is only bringing 40,000 light cavalry plus 40,000 new troops who surrendered all the way. And the more important point is that Bailan City is farther away from Zhongzhou City, and it is in the Bailan Mountains, and choosing Bailan City is equivalent to a detour, which will be a waste of time for no reason.

Zhao Fu made a cross on Bailan City, and then set his sights on Mustard City and Luyuan City.

Of the two cities, Luyuan City is the closest to Zhongzhou City, which is only half a day's foot, while Mustard City needs to consider the large army crossing the river, which is also about a day's distance.

The conclusion couldn't be more obvious, Zhao Fu used a pen to connect Jiulian City and Luyuan City, and then Luyuan City and Zhongzhou City together.

"The master plans to attack Luyuan?" Seeing this, Zheng Yuan asked.

"Indeed, Luyuan City is the best choice no matter what, and there is no reason for us to bypass Luyuan City and choose other cities." Zhao Fu nodded.

"But...... There is still not enough time. Zhao Fu had to admit that the northwest was indeed too far away from the center of the Lanhe Empire, and the imperial capital was pressing forward step by step, and the opportunity he seized was not obvious at the moment.

"Do you think we can set up an ambush here, and wait until we eat the reinforcements from the imperial capital before marching into Zhongzhou?" Zhao Qian asked at this time.

“……”

“……”

And the answer to him was still silent, Zhao Qian didn't know what kind of position Lin Ji occupied in the hearts of these people in front of him, but when he saw this, he quickly quieted down.

"Late is changing, all our advantages now are time, we are faster than everyone else, so we can defeat the fifty-two cities with lightning speed, so we can take the nine cities in one day when the enemy's intelligence on our army is insufficient...... If we stop, we are burying our greatest advantage. Zhao Fu explained, it can be regarded as a circle, because of Zhao Qian's proposal, the atmosphere cooled down.

"Then fight Luyuan City, Luyuan City is not dangerous to defend, even if the other party deploys more troops in this generation, it will not help, with the Iron Arm Army, we only need two days to take Luyuan City!" After experiencing the battlefield, Zhao Qian has enough confidence in the combat power of the Iron Arm Army.

"Two days...... It's still too long, we ...... Seize every moment! A bold plan gradually took shape in Zhao Fu's mind.

For Zhao Fu, he couldn't afford to wait for two days.

"In this way, we are divided into two ways." Zhao Fu took the pen and connected it again.

Jiulian City to Mustard City.

A few people were stunned, not understanding what Zhao Fu meant by this move, Bailan, Luyuan, Mustard City and Jiulian City are different, the city walls are higher, the battlements are thicker, and as the last line of defense, the defenders are definitely not an order of magnitude with Jiulian City.

Even the best Luyuan City is estimated to take two days, and Zhao Fu feels that these two days are not enough, but he still has to divide his troops to fight Mustard City?

"This ...... We don't have enough troops. Zheng Yuan reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, that's why we should divide our troops!" Zhao Fu looked at the map and finally made up his mind.

He extended the line from Jiulian City to Luyuan City, bypassing Luyuan City and going straight to Zhongzhou City!

"What do you mean?" Seeing this, Zheng Yuan already had a tacit understanding of three points.

"You take 70,000 people to attack Mustard City, creating the illusion that we are going to borrow from Mustard City, and then I will take the Iron Arm Army directly around Luyuan City and take Zhongzhou directly." Zhao Fudao.

Zhao Fu can't wait for these two days, but Zheng Yuan can wait instead of him!

"It's kind of dangerous." Zheng Yuandao.

"I can only fight like this, although I don't want to admit it, but Lin Ji's guy still has a bit of a level of leading soldiers, and I don't want to get entangled with him anymore." Zhao Fu told a bad joke.

“…… Okay, I'll drag them all to mustard. Zheng Yuan understood that Zhao Fu's time was not to break through the defense lines of the three cities before the imperial capital Lin Ji brought troops to help, but to let Zhao Qian become the head of the Zhao family and the head of the Zhao country before Lin Ji and the Zhao family came into contact.

This is also the best solution at present, as long as Zhao Qian succeeds in becoming the lord of Zhao and has enough power, then Lin Ji can retreat without a fight, which is also the result they want to see the most. Zheng Yuan agreed, although this would put Zhao Fu in great danger, but Zheng Yuan was still the Zheng Yuan who believed in Zhao Fu, and he unconditionally believed that Zhao Fu was invincible and invincible, and all dangers could be dealt with.

"Okay, let's split up." Zhao Fu nodded, to complete the set goal, Jiulian City obviously couldn't stay too long.

Therefore, Zhao Fu didn't even pay attention to the amazing wealth in the City Lord's Mansion anymore, compared to which Zhao Fu chose the bigger one-the entire Zhao Kingdom.

"By the way, how is the reinforcements on Lan Ting's side?" Zhao Fu suddenly remembered to ask.

"They are still five days away from Jiulian City, after all, they will not be too fast in receiving the city along the way." Zheng Yuan replied.

Zhao Fu ordered people to spread the news to the northwest as early as after capturing Geyang City, and asked them to send people over to temporarily keep these cities, for this kind of thing to enhance the strength of the northwest, Feng Yu naturally raised his hands in favor, and soon he gritted his teeth and transferred several teams from all over the country to take over the cities that Zhao Fu had built, not to mention anything else, first empty the wealth in the city - these are all cities in the hostile camp, but anyway, Zhao Guo is also Zhao Qian's, which is equivalent to taking his own things. For this point, Feng Yu, who has always been honest for decades, suddenly turned into an old fox who was drooling on an abacus, and he would definitely be startled if Zhao Fu saw it, but fortunately, at this moment, next to Feng Yu was Xia Yingyang, who was also holding an abacus.

"Tell them not to use Jiulian City anymore, and go further...... It's too dangerous. "Zhao Fu always had a premonition that this place would become a big battlefield.

"Understood, I'll send someone to remind you." Zheng Yuan quickly arranged a team of lightly wounded soldiers and asked them to deliver the news to the rear.

"Then we will separate here, and when the time comes, see you in Zhongzhou City!" Zhao Fu patted Zheng Yuan's shoulder heavily, with a look of "I'll leave it to you".

"The host...... Be careful. Zheng Yuan was still faintly worried.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before we can take the entire Zhongzhou." Zhao Fu got on the horse.

"See you in Zhongzhou City."

"See you in Zhongzhou City."
