When Xing Jiamu and the others arrived at the tunliu, it was already dark, and the city gate had been closed, and after Lu Zhiyong told the identity of his party and the intention of the party under the city, the soldiers on duty at night in the city did not dare to make their own decisions, so let Lu Zhiyong and the others wait, and he would go to report.

After about a stick of incense, Chen Yucheng came to the city with a few cronies and ordered someone to throw down a few torches and let Lu Zhiyong and others light them, so that the city could see the faces of the people who came.

This Tunliu County Ling Chen Yucheng is a well-known little Zhuge , he is very cautious in doing things, although he knows that what the people below say cannot be false, but for the sake of his own city, he has to be careful.

After seeing Liu Cang in the team, Chen Yucheng ordered someone to open the city gate and let Xing Jiamu and others in, although he was stopped under the city for nearly half an hour, Xing Jiamu did not blame Chen Yucheng at all, on the contrary, he also admired this bold and careful county order, thinking that he was a manufacturable material.

Although he lost the battle, lost a city, and lost a thousand households, Xing Jiamu believed that these were only temporary, and this loss was acceptable, so he ordered Chen Yucheng to prepare a banquet, and he wanted to celebrate those who had meritorious service.

Gao Biying couldn't believe her ears when she learned that Xiang Luyang had captured Zichang County, she didn't believe in Xiang Luyang's ability, but this good thing came a little too suddenly, which made her a little difficult to accept for a while.

After settling the matter of Ansai with Li Ziying, Gao Biying took 50,000 rebel troops, some equipment to defend the city, and grain and grass, and marched towards Zichang County overnight.

The reason why Gao Biying is so anxious is not because she is so happy and forgetful, on the contrary, Gao Biying at this time is extremely sober, and it is actually a fluke that she can win Zichang County this time, because the time and place are favorable, and everyone is occupied by her own side, so she will be so smooth.

Now what she has to do is not to take over the county seat, but to guard against the counterattack of the official army at any time, you know, whether it is Xing Jiamu or the governor of Shaanxi, they cannot watch a county fall into the hands of the rebel army, this is not a matter of territory, but this precedent cannot be opened.

Now whether it is Shaanxi or Shanxi, there is no precedent for the rebel army in all places to occupy the city, these rebel armies have been wandering in the countryside, just doing some small fights, robbing houses and houses, all the imperial courts have not done anything to them, but this time is different, this time they took a county seat, so they have to guard against the counterattack of the official army at any time.

Gao Biying's brigade, when there were still five miles in Ion Chang County, I saw that the entire Zichang County was still brightly lit, although I didn't know what they were doing, but Gao Biying knew that there must be something here, because it was already ten midnight.

When he came to the city, Xiang Luyang in the city saw Gao Biying in red at a glance, and ordered someone to open the city gate and put Gao Biying's team into the city. ”

Looking at Hu Jinquan with an excited face, Gao Biying smiled and said: "Brother Hu, this is only a small county town, so I will be happy with you like this, if we take the capital in the future, you will not be happy." ”

Hu Jinquan scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "This is the first city we have won, I'm a little too excited, just take a few more in the future." ”

After a few more jokes, Gao Biying said to Xiang Luyang: "Brother Xiang, how is the current situation here?" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "The city defense here is quite empty, there is no way to stop the attack of the large army, now I am arranging people to prepare rolling wood thunder stones and gunpowder, tonight to prepare these first, in case Xing Jiamu will transfer people to attack the city tomorrow." ”

Gao Biying said: "Gunpowder, as well as rolling wood and thunder stones, I have brought them, in addition to these, what else do you plan to prepare, just tell me, I brought another 50,000 people this time, and I will listen to your dispatch at any time." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "If they don't come to attack the city tomorrow, tomorrow I want to dig the moat wider, so that their existing ladders can't reach it, so that we can buy some time." ”

Gao Biying said: "We don't have to wait for tomorrow for this matter, we will do it overnight, and strive to double the width of the moat before dawn, so that they will not be able to attack the city when they come tomorrow." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "That's fine, then you can leave me 20,000 people first, let the others rest, if the war starts tomorrow, there will be someone to defend the city, and everyone can't stay here." ”

Gao Biying turned to Hu Jinquan and said: "Brother Hu, I will leave it to you about digging the moat tonight, you can arrange people now, the people I brought have brought tents, let them be in the city today, find a place to sleep by themselves." ”

Hu Jinquan was just about to turn around and leave to arrange the digging of the moat, when Xiang Luyang instructed: "Brother Hu, you must emphasize the order I issued when I entered the city today, so that they must not harass the people, this is the most basic requirement. ”

Hu Jinquan said: "Don't worry, although my old Hu is a rough person, he still doesn't dare to be sloppy in this kind of big thing." ”

After Hu Jinquan left, Xiang Luyang said to Gao Biying: "Did you bring archers this time?" ”

Gao Biying smiled and said: "Although I have not personally presided over such a major event as defending the city, but I have also seen you defend the city, don't worry, I brought all the archers this time, about 13,000 people, and the arrows are enough, you don't need to "borrow arrows from the plank". ”

Xiang Luyang smiled and said: "I'm relieved, as long as there are more than 10,000 archers, even if Xing Jiamu can transfer 100,000 elite soldiers over tomorrow, I am confident that he will not return." ”

Gao Biying said: "What if they don't come to attack the city tomorrow? ”

Xiang Luyang said: "If you don't come to the end, the more time they give, the more beneficial it will be to us, anyway, the construction of city defense is something we have to do sooner or later." ”

Gao Biying said: "I really hope they don't come tomorrow, so that we have enough time to prepare." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "This possibility is basically none, I understand Xing Jiamu, his grasp of the battlefield and the current situation is much more accurate than mine, the reason why he lost Zichang County today is entirely because I made a temporary decision to attack the city today, and there is Lu Zhiyong as a cover, otherwise, this Zichang County will not be so easy to be captured by us." ”

Gao Biying said: "It seems that I can't sleep tonight." ”
