"Dad, I happened to meet Sister Yu Ji on the way back, and now in troubled times, Sister Yu Ji is really dangerous alone, so I will walk with my sister, and I will take care of her." Lu Xiao explained from the side.

"I see!" Mrs. Lu stroked his beard, and said lightly: "It's not early, you can go down and rest first." ”

Lu Xiao left with Yu Ji talking and laughing intimately, Lu Shizhi arched his hand to his father again, and said: "Dad, the children on the road have heard that the county guard will lead troops to come to recruit in a few days, can Pei Gong really resist it?" ”

Lu Taigong looked at the dim sky and said in a low voice: "The matter is man-made, my Lu Mansion has intersected with Pei Gong, this battle can only be won and not defeated, and if it is defeated, the Lu Mansion will die." Go down too, and tomorrow you will go to the camp to join the expedition. ”

"No!" Lu Shizhi nodded and then resigned and left.

The next day, all the strong men in the city were also recruited, and the construction of the arrow tower was urgent, and the stonemasons were assisted, which made them much more handy. In order to deal with the possible siege of the Qin army, Liu Yuan ordered the people to go out of the city to cut firewood, so as not to have no firewood to use after the closure of the city. As for the moat, Cao Shen also took the soldiers to sprinkle a little lime again.

The cavalry sent also roamed around the county, and the information they received would be reported to Liu Yuan at any time to facilitate the latter's judgment. Pei County is making the final pre-war preparations, the soldiers are also full of energy, the battle is coming, and there are military merits to be gained, and the reward for the last attack on Pei County is very covetous to many recruits.

After some inspection, Liu Yuan returned to the county office, and as soon as he sat down, Lu Pheasant walked in with two women. Seeing this, Liu Yuan was slightly stunned, the two women who came in, one was clever and beautiful, and the other was captivating. Fortunately, Liu Yuanfei was not a person who coveted beauty, and after he was a little surprised, he asked calmly: "Ejiao, who are these two?" ”

"Husband, this is the little sister Lu Xiao!" Lu Pheasant pointed to the clever woman and smiled.

"Lu Xiao has seen Pei Gong!" Lu Xiao also followed the salute, and then the corners of her mouth rose, and she said very dexterously: "I have also heard about the name of Pei Gong on the road, hehe, I envy my sister." ”

"Huh!" Liu Yuan smiled slightly, this Lu Xiao can also be regarded as a water hibiscus and generous, without the slightest sense of restraint, he said with a smile: "You, you, like Ejiao, are generous and decent." Then his gaze fell on the last man.

Seeing this, the female Yingying said: "Yu Ji has seen Pei Gong. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuan was slightly shocked, this woman turned out to be Yu Ji, he looked at it carefully, and nodded secretly, Yu Ji's beauty is in line with the sentence "If the West Lake is compared to Xizi, it is always appropriate to wear heavy makeup." Liu Yuan would never have thought that at this time, he would meet Yu Ji. He was a little puzzled, this Yu Ji was a Huiji clan, and Xiang Liang had already captured Huiji at the moment, how could she appear in Pei County? So, Liu Yuan said in a low voice: "It turned out to be Miss Yu Ji, I don't know where the girl is from?" He asked, pretending not to know.

"Yu Ji is a Huijiren clan, and the old father at home misses her brother, so Yu Ji went out to find her brother. Fortunately, I met Miss Lu, so I followed him to Pei County. Yu Ji replied softly, her willow eyebrows and thin waist, jade arms were verdant, and she was good at singing and dancing.

Liu Yuan bowed slightly, it turned out that this Yu Ji was going out to find his brother, and said that his brother Yu Zi was one of the five tiger generals under Xiang Yu, who was chic and brave. Liu Yuan looked at Yu Ji again, and he sighed and said, "It's not easy for Miss Yu Ji to go out, the world is in chaos, and you need to be careful." ”

"Thank you Pei Gong for the reminder!"

"Lord!" At this moment, Zhou Bo hurriedly came in, and he hurriedly said: "The lord is not good, the Qin army has arrived." ”

"So fast?" Liu Yuan's face suddenly sank, it had only been a few days, and the conquest in the county had arrived, which made him a little surprised.

Zhou Bo replied: "Just now the cavalry has returned, and about five hundred Qin troops have already set up camp on the border of Pei County, and it seems that they are the vanguard of the Qin army. ”

"Pioneer?" Liu Yuan shook his head, "Impossible, it is impossible for the Qin army to only send five hundred soldiers as the vanguard. Zhou Bo, quickly let the people enter the city, and Pei County will be closed from now on! ”

"No!" Zhou Bo was ordered to leave.

Liu Yuan looked at Lu Pheasant and the others solemnly, and also waved his hand and said, "Ejiao, take Lu Xiao and Yu Ji to the backyard, the Qin army has arrived, and I still need to discuss it." ”

"How dare you disturb your husband's affairs?" Lu Pheasant bowed his head, and then took Yu Ji and the others out, and before Yu Ji left, he also took a deep look at Liu Yuan.

It didn't take long for Xiao He and the others to arrive, and they all heard the news, the Qin army came so quickly, it seemed that they had already prepared. "Lord, I heard that there are only five hundred Qin troops, which is incomprehensible."

"Please also ask the lord to let me Da Niu lead the troops out of the city, only 500 Qin troops, I will be completely annihilated." The big bull is out of the ranks, please give your life.

Liu Yuan waved his hand and said, "No, there is no news about the main force of the Qin army yet, and these five hundred Qin troops may be just bait." ”

"What the lord said is true." Xiao He also agreed with Hu Hu and analyzed: "The five hundred Qin troops are not to be afraid, they are afraid that this is a trap, and they want to lead our army out of the city." ”

"Qin Jun wouldn't be so cunning, would he?" Da Niu touched his head and said honestly.

"Big bull, don't talk nonsense." Cao Shen said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate the generals of the Qin army, they know how to arrange troops better than us. ”

"Indeed, it is still according to the words of the lord, and prudence is the best." Xiahou Ying thought about it, and also echoed.

Although the number of 500 Qin troops is not much, for the Pei army, which already has more than 2,000 soldiers, it is easy to completely annihilate this Qin army, but no one can guarantee whether this is an ambush set by the Qin generals. In this era, it is not like in the previous life that he could use all kinds of technology to investigate, and now Liu Yuan has little news, and he knows nothing about the movements of the Qin army, so he has to choose this way of defending in the city.

"Cao Shen, order you to strengthen your patrols. At the same time, double the number of cavalry was sent to investigate the movements of the Qin army. Liu Yuan immediately ordered.

"No! Participate in the command! Cao Shen said.

"Xiahou Ying!"

"In!"

"Order you to lead the troops to prepare the army, the rolling stones and giant trees must be prepared, and all the bows and arrows should be loaded into the quiver and carried to the arrow tower." Liu Yuan continued to order in a deep voice.

Xiahou Ying also received the order to leave, and now it is urgent, and everyone naturally does not dare to slack off. Liu Yuan looked at Liu Fang and said, "You go and ask the blacksmith to imitate the size of the stone pot and make some bronze pots." ”

Liu Fang didn't understand why this bronze basin was used, but he still answered the order in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, my lord, my army is well prepared for this battle." Xiao He saw that Liu Yuan's face was still solemn, so he opened his mouth to comfort.
