Lu must have been restless for a while, he knew very well that something big was going to happen, and this big thing, he couldn't stay out of it at all, no matter which side won, in the end, he would be involved.

He didn't want that.

For him, the best thing is that the Qin State and the Ming State will continue to face off like this, then he will be one of the balance points, everyone needs him, so that he can be left and right, and he can live a better life. He needs time to consolidate his rule in Qingzhou little by little, strengthen his soldiers, and with each passing day, he will become a little stronger.

But damn Deng Shu and Dai Shulun ruined it all. It made him curse.

"General, hasn't there been any news from the Tiger Prison?" Han Kun walked in and sat across from him.

Lu must have shook his head, "The blockade over there is extremely strict, our people can get in and out, and there is no definite news for the time being, and some gossip, how can they be trusted?"

"Whoever wins or loses, our quiet days are coming to an end." Han Kun also smiled bitterly, "Who does the general want to win in the end?"

Lu must have been asked by Han Kun, who does he want to win? He doesn't want anyone, and whoever wins, it's not a good thing for him. But there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two families, and if things move together, it will be either you die or I will die.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said dejectedly: "If I have to choose one, I will choose Mingren to win."

yes, what can he choose? If Deng Shu wins, he will only take them to perdition together, gather the tiger prison and the Qin army in Qingzhou to attack the Ming people, or he can achieve some results in a short time, but as time goes by, it will inevitably end in failure, and the leakage of the news, the arrival of the Ming army one after another, so that they don't even have this chance.

"Yes, if you have to let us choose, I will also choose Mingren to win!" Han Kun shook his head and put the stack of files in his hand in front of Lu Quan: "I have already done the plan that the general asked me to make to reduce the soldiers, according to the general's requirements, only 30,000 people were retained in the entire Qingzhou Army, and the rest were evacuated and resettled. But in this situation, do we still have to implement this plan?"

"Let's stop and see." Lou must have sighed.

"That's all it can be." Han Kun nodded, stood up, and was about to say goodbye when a personal soldier strode in. He bowed to Lu and saluted: "General, from where in the Qi country there is news that the Qi people's army attacking the Hengduan Mountains has withdrawn, and Guo Xiancheng has returned to Chang'an."

Lu Minghuo stood up and glanced at Han Kun.

"Akito won!" The two of them are invariably authentic.

If Deng Shu and Dai Shulun controlled the overall situation, then the Qi people would get the Tiger Prison Pass without work, and then the army entered the hinterland of the Qin State, directly threatening Yongdu, and naturally they would not retreat.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Xiao Qiang avoided this crisis and thwarted the opponent's conspiracy, but this possibility, both of them felt that it was too small.

I have to say that Deng Shu and Dai Shulun's plan is very covert and deadly, and if there is no Ming person to intervene, then the possibility of their success is extremely great.

Lu must have turned around, walked to the wall where the giant map was hung, stared up at the map in front of him, and after a while, he suddenly slammed his fist on the map.

"Does the General have any ideas?" Han Kun walked up to Lu Ding's side and asked.

Lu must have taken a deep breath: "Han Kun, I will lead the 30,000 elites under my command to attack Danyang County and occupy him."

Han Kun was taken aback: "Attack Danyang County?"

Lu must have nodded vigorously: "Where is Danyang County, although the imperial court has more than 10,000 garrisons, but to put it mildly, in front of us, it is a pile of rags, and a little force can stab them into a mess."

"But general, this is a tear with the court in advance!" Han Kundao.

Lu must have sneered: "Does it matter?" Now the court still takes care of us? As long as we don't raise the anti-flag publicly, I'm afraid they will try their best to win us over. Han Kun, do you understand what I mean?"

Han Kun thought for a moment and nodded: "I think I should understand, the general may have a few meanings, right?"

"Tell me." Lu must have smiled.

"First, if the Ming people win, we Qingzhou will face the Ming people on both sides, Kaiping County has Chen Zhihua's Jumu Battalion, as well as Gan Wei's Tiger Camp, Yulin Battalion, and the Ming army that occupies the Tiger Prison may also easily occupy Xingyuan County, so as to complete the two-sided attack on Qingzhou County, in the face of such military pressure, whether we are in the economy and people's livelihood, or in the military strength, we are unable to confront the Ming people, the general attacked Danyang County, it can be said that one step jumped out of this encirclement, for us, you have a choice. It's really not possible, we can give up Qingzhou County and retreat into Danyang County, and still maintain a certain degree of independence, because at this time, the imperial court will definitely not attack us, but will try its best to make us a member of their fight against the Ming army." Han Kundao.

"That's a good point." Lew must have laughed. Then let's talk about the second meaning."

"The general led the main elite to jump out of this encirclement, Qingzhou County will be handed over to me, and I will bargain with the Ming people, if the Ming people have good intentions towards the general, then the general will vote for the Ming people, then it will not be a Qingzhou County, but a Danyang County, in this way, the chips in the general's hand will be heavier, and the Ming people will be embarrassed not to reuse the general?" Han Kun said with a smile: "The general's hand is really wonderful."

Lu must have laughed: "Han Kun, you really deserve to be the roundworm in my stomach, what am I thinking, you know it clearly, then do it, don't hesitate to do it, I will lead the army to attack Danyang County tomorrow, and three days later, you will send someone to Kaiping County to contact Chen Zhihua!" Stabilize them first, and when I take Danyang County, we will have more choices."

"Okay." Han Kun nodded repeatedly.

Qingzhou is one of the production areas of Qin's wasteland horses, here, the most important thing is the war horse, and it is also the reason why Qin Feng will never forget Qingzhou, and Lu must not let go of such advantageous resources, he has 30,000 elites, and now there are 20,000 cavalry, even if these cavalry can not be compared with the Qin cavalry who participated in the battle of Hengdian, but it is also quite good, in recent years, through the trade with the Ming people, their equipment has also been greatly improved, at least these cavalry have taken off their leather armor and replaced with half-body iron armor, The weapons in his hand were all replaced with ring-headed knives, and of course, a high-end weapon like the horse lance, even if the Ming was willing to sell it to him, he couldn't afford it.

Therefore, Lu must be very confident that the imperial court garrison of Danyang County is a group of scum in front of him. Conquering Danyang County is a no-brainer.

Early the next morning, 20,000 cavalry immediately pulled out the camp and rushed to Danyang, and 10,000 foot soldiers also followed with grain and grass, trailing all the way, and in an instant, all the elites under Lu must have left Qingzhou. These 30,000 people are Lu Sheng's real capital, as long as he firmly holds the 30,000 army in his hands, he does have bargaining conditions.

Ten days later, when Lu must have stood on top of the city of Danyang and watched his cavalry gallop through the city of Danyang, capturing the scattered defenders of Danyang in groups, a messenger from Qingzhou galloped into the city.

Han Kun sent new news, the matter of the Tiger Prison Pass has been revealed, Xiao Qiang and most of the other senior generals under his command were killed under the planning of Deng Shu and Dai Shulun, and the praying mantis catches cicadas, Huang Que is behind, Deng Shu and Dai Shulun then fell into the trap of the Ming people, and both died in defeat. Tens of thousands of Tiger Prison soldiers attached to them were defeated, and the remaining Tiger Prison army defected to the Ming people under the leadership of the deputy general He Weiping. The entire tiger prison is now in the hands of the Ming people.

"What did you run away aftermath?" Lu must have tore the letter in his hand to shreds, raised his hand, and floated down the city one after another, "He Weiping, this thing, obviously has already taken refuge in the Ming people, and he has to take this step out of this wonderful move, otherwise he will have to live under him in the future."

He walked down the city wall, hugged him and walked into the city, "Command all the departments, immediately divide up and march, and take the whole county of Danyang as quickly as possible. Arrest all the commanders in the county and take them to the county, and either serve me or wipe their necks."

Kaiping County, Chen Zhihua looked at the information in his hand with some dumbfounded, he never thought that Lu would definitely come to this hand. This made a series of arrangements in Kaiping County, all of which smashed into the air at once.

"Bastard, play such a trick." The wild dog said angrily: "This guy ran away, but Qingzhou County can't run, since he left Qingzhou County, then what else are we polite, just go and get it, as long as our Ming army appears in Qingzhou, I don't believe that those shrimp soldiers and crabs will dare to resist?"

Chen Zhihua smiled bitterly: "General Gan, I'm afraid that I really can't send troops, Lu must be that guy is cunning and big, their envoy Han Kun has already arrived in Kaiping County, others are here to show goodwill, but we meet each other with swords?" This is pushing Lou outward. If we occupy Qingzhou by force, then Lu must have 30,000 horses, but he may become our enemy."

"What's so scary about that? Destroy him in the same way." Wild dogs don't care about the tunnel.

"But Your Majesty wants to take this army into your pocket peacefully, there are not many soldiers in the Qin State who can fight, Bian Wushuang's army is far away on the other side of the Luoying Mountains, and on our side, there is only Lu Ding's army left, if we can successfully subdue him, it will save a lot of trouble!"

"And just look?"

"Report it to Your Majesty!" Chen Zhihua said helplessly.
