He Xian took a sip of the turbid wine in the cup and said, "Lu County Order is a good idea!" Neither surrendered to our Nanyang army, nor was he loyal to Yuan Shu. After the two arms of our two arms merge, you can take advantage of the chaos to flee to Jiangdong and serve the Sun clan!" ”

Lu Su was not a good liar, and after hearing He Xian's analysis, his pupils contracted violently. Because what he thought in his heart was basically all said by He Xian, which made him feel that there was nothing to hide. At this moment, Lu Su found that he was so poor that he had nothing to say.

He Xian poured himself another glass of turbid wine, and said slowly: "Don't think about how to prevaricate the general!" Lu Zijing and Zhou Gongjin have always been good friends, and Zhou Gongjin is now working under Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce, and the two are sworn brothers. These relationships will be clear to the public after a little inquiry. Lu Xianling is in Yuanying, but his heart is in Jiangdong. What we are waiting for is only a good time to put things into action. I never thought that my Nanyang army would not go to Yuzhou, but would attack from Lujiang County by water, which would make your previous plan completely fail. Ben would have guessed, right? ”

Lu Su's face was bloodless, because He Xian guessed what he was thinking again. Not long ago, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had found him, hoping that he could collect all kinds of military supplies in Dongcheng after Yuan Shu usurped the Han Dynasty and became independent, and when the Jiangdong army crossed the Yangtze River and attacked the Lujiang River, Lu Su waited for the opportunity to change the court and serve the Jiangdong army. In other words, Lu Su had agreed to Sun Ce's invitation and secretly became a member of the Jiangdong Army.

In the face of He Xian's aggressive dialogue, Lu Su had already given up on saying the words he had prepared before, because it was useless. Now that He Xian has learned that he is a member of the Jiangdong Army, he will definitely not be confused by other reasons. What Lu Su needs to consider now is how to get out and defect to Jiangdong, or directly demote He Xian to serve the Nanyang Army.

Lu Su didn't speak, and He Xian didn't urge him. Gu Zi finished drinking the second glass, poured himself a third cup of turbid wine, and continued: "I will respect your character and love your talent, but I am not Yuan Shu and I don't like to be deceived. If you were willing to serve Your Majesty, you would have been recommended to be a county warden. If you are stubborn and want to continue to do your duty for the Jiangdong Army or the Yangzhou Army, the general will not force you, let's see you on the battlefield! A small county like Dongcheng is just a matter of how much time is wasted for the Nanyang Army. ”

After He Xian finished speaking, he drank it all and said, "Three cups are gone!" The words that should have been said have already been said, and the face that should have been given has also been given. At this time tomorrow, Lu County Decree must give Ben General a reply. I hope Lu Zijing can become a colleague of us, not an enemy! ”

After speaking, He Xian got up alone, shook off the cloak behind him, strode down the city wall, stepped on the jade lion in the night, and rode his horse out of the city.

The sergeant under Lu Su's command looked anxious and wanted to ask Lu Su if he would do anything to "detain" He Xian. Lu Su was silent, and everyone could only watch He Xian and Zhao Yun walk away. At this moment, Lu Su's heart was broken. When all the secrets in his heart were discovered by He Xian, Lu Su no longer knew how to fight such a battle? How can such a ploy be carried out? Theoretically speaking, now in front of Lu Su, there are still two ways to go, "surrender and not surrender". But in fact, does Lu Su still have the power not to surrender?

As the commander of Dongcheng, it was impossible for Lu Su to ignore the lives of the people of Dongcheng. However, Zhou Yu regarded him as a confidant, Sun Ce regarded him as a friend, and Lu Su was definitely inclined to Jiangdongjun emotionally, such a contradiction was entangled in Lu Su's heart and could not be sorted out for a long time. A day and a night later, the horn of the Nanyang Army sounded outside the East City Gate again, Lu Su rubbed his red, swollen and bloodshot eyes, sighed, and turned around and walked down the city.

Dongcheng County has fallen!

The Nanyang army was bloodless, and successively took Wancheng and Dongcheng, and was one step closer to the Lujiang Metallurgical Institute. Compared with getting these two county seats, He Xian preferred more to get the effectiveness of Qiaomao and Lusu. Regardless of the abilities of these two people, the prestige of the two of them in Lujiang County alone can bring a lot of benefits to the Nanyang Army. There was a demonstration effect after the surrender of the two people, and the resistance of the Nanyang army in the process of advancing was greatly reduced. Three days later, Qiao Mao said that the potential county order was lowered, and only Jiashi County, the last city, was left from Shu County.

Jiashi County Commander is Zhang Shi, the nephew of Zhang Xun, the Shou of Lujiang County, and Zhang Xun can be described as both glory and loss. In order to resist the Nanyang army, Zhang Xun specially allocated Zhang Shi 10,000 regular Yangzhou troops, plus the county soldiers and young men in the city, there are more than 20,000 troops in the city, which is the biggest resistance encountered by the Nanyang army since it landed on the Lujiang River!

"Ma Jun, how many wells have you completed?" In the big tent of the Chinese army, He Xian ordered all the generals and prepared the final preparations before the siege.

"Back to the lord, the assembly of the four super well rails has been completed!" Along the way, although there was no war, the engineering army under Ma Jun has not been idle. Everywhere they went, they collected a large number of usable cowhides and tendons, and carved some "parts" necessary for siege equipment, so that when war broke out, they only needed to cut down the main materials to quickly assemble them, and did not need to spend extra time on these small and more laborious objects.

"Prepare for the siege! Wen Ping led the Chinese army to attack the south gate, and the general personally led the rear army to attack the north gate! Spare no arrows, fire suppression! Anyone who appears on the city wall is regarded as a rebel and will be killed! ”

He Xian gave the final military order, and the battle of Jiashi City officially began.

Qiao Mao and Lu Su glanced at each other, sighed at the same time, and silently prayed in their hearts for the people of Jiashi, praying that they would not resist too resolutely.

"Woo woo woo~" The horns of the Nanyang army were bursting, and the Nanyang soldiers of the brigade surrounded the two big guys and slowly approached Jiashi City.

These two big guys are about eight meters high, except for the connecting parts, the main structure is made of bamboo that can be seen everywhere in Lujiang. The hair body is light in weight and has good toughness, which is an excellent material for making well fences and other things. The only weakness is that it is more afraid of fire. Therefore, when Ma Jun selected materials, he deliberately selected the newly formed new bamboo, which has a high moisture content and is less likely to burn than the old bamboo.

Under the wide base, in addition to four large wooden wheels, it is a hollow space, and fifty well fence wrestlers are the driving force of the well fence, responsible for pushing this big guy up. Five hundred archers, carrying longbows and quivers, followed closely behind the well bar. Once the fence is in place, the archers follow a narrow bamboo ladder to the top of the fence. There is a wide platform surrounded by a bamboo fence covered with cowhide, resembling a small mobile wall. Behind the archers are thousands of sword and shield men, whose main duty is to protect the well fence from the ground, preventing the enemy from rushing out of the city and causing damage to the well fence from the ground.
