Lu You's tactics were divided into three steps, the first step was to order people to recover several villages near Jizhou City, making Jizhou an isolated city, and their soldiers were reduced to pieces and hidden in these nearby villages or mountains and forests.

In the second step, gunpowder was buried in the passages at the exit of several city gates in Jizhou, and as long as these Khitan soldiers dared to go out of the city to harass the people, they had to pass through this gunpowder pass first.

In the third step, on the periphery of all the passages into the village, Lu You still ordered people to dig several trenches, first, to prevent the soldiers who went out of the city from attacking them; The second is to prevent the reinforced Khitan soldiers from looting them.

This set of tactics worked after three days, the Khitan generals in the city saw that no one came into the city to sell vegetables and grain, and soon couldn't help it, and ordered people to go out of the city to find out the truth, these Khitan soldiers suffered a bombing as soon as they left the city, and the panicked Khitan soldiers turned around and returned to the city.

Immediately afterward, they changed the city gate, but they did not expect to encounter the same bombardment again, and this time they also turned their horses around and returned to the city.

The next day, these Khitan soldiers learned wisely, and they didn't come out, but they drove dozens of horses to explore the road in front, this time, they didn't encounter explosives, but they ran into a trench and the Great Zhou soldiers who were ambushed in the village.

After half a month, these Khitan soldiers came up with a countermeasure, they didn't go out of the city to find food and vegetables, they ordered the Han people in the city to go out of the city to buy vegetables, so that Lu You could not set up an ambush at the entrance of the village.

However, after these Han people entered the village, Lu You ordered them to stay behind forcibly, and even sent people to persuade them to return to Da Zhou and help Da Zhou recover Jizhou together.

After being so stiff for half a month, the Khitan soldiers changed their tactics again, ordering the Han people in front, and they formed a huge team to come out to grab food and vegetables, but fortunately, Lu You had already prepared, and when he was close to the entrance of the village, he threw rockets and gunpowder shells directly into the ranks of the Khitan soldiers, and those Han people saw that the situation was not good, and they had already jumped into the trenches one by one to hide.

In this way, the two sides fought like a tug-of-war for almost two months, Lu You finally took Jizhou, this is a historic moment, Da Zhou finally recovered Jizhou, one of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the news reached the palace, Li Cong's excitement was beyond words, first praised Lu You in the court, and then proposed to give Lu You a guerrilla general, is the fourth product.

It's just that this time the seal encountered a little resistance, although Lu You's credit is obvious to all, first kept Jinzhou, then recovered Zhending and Baozhou, and now Jizhou is included in the territory of the Great Zhou, this credit is indeed not small, but the war is not over, that is, there are still variables in all this.

It is a very simple example, at the beginning of the war, the Western Xia first captured the three cities of the Great Day, and then the Khitan successively won the five cities, and now these five cities have all been recovered by the Lu brothers, and there are still two cities in the northwest in the hands of the Western Xia people, this year Yan Peng and Yan Ai brothers only recovered Youzhou.

Therefore, the minister's meaning is that it is too early to talk about meritorious deeds and rewards, in case these cities are taken away by Khitan or Western Xia in the future, it will not be a joke or irony, this is one, and second, if you talk about merit, it is not only the credit of Lu You alone, but also Lu Zhu, His Royal Highness the Sixth, and several military officials; Third, Lu Ming also contributed a lot in this battle, first he was seriously injured and came back to recuperate for half a year, and then went to the front line, and also took back Bingzhou and Jinyang.

But there were also different voices in the court, Lu Ming is the prince of Zhenguo, and it is his duty to lead the troops to fight and defend the territory, but Lu You is not, he is a scholar, a showman, and he is a scholar.

This statement has also been questioned, Lu You, as a child of the Lu family, should take on the responsibilities of a child of the Lu family, and has nothing to do with literary or martial arts.

Li Cong was poured a basin of cold water, but he was not annoyed, and after thinking about it carefully, he ordered someone to invite Lu Duan into the palace, first, to discuss the next battle with Lu Duan; Second, I am also grateful to Lu Duan for giving birth to two good sons, although Lu Ming does not have so many whimsical new ideas as Lu You, but he is better than reading military books since he was a child, and his own martial arts are not weak, and he can pick the other party off the horse when he goes to the battlefield several times to duel with the opponent's generals; Thirdly, Li Cong asked Lu Duan's opinion on the commendation of these two people.

To be honest, Lu Duan was not surprised to receive the news that Lu Ming had recovered Jinyang, but he really didn't expect Lu You to be able to take Jizhou down, so whether he was at home, in the court, or even facing the emperor at this moment, he had a feeling of dizziness.

You must know that he has fought on the battlefield for so many years, and he is also a well-known commander of the side, but unfortunately, he has attacked Jizhou or Shunzhou several times and returned with a feather, and later, he did not even keep the land of Dazhou.

Therefore, Lu Duan, who was ashamed, was also puzzled, and it was incredible that a weak scholar who was powerless could actually understand war.

For this reason, after talking to Li Cong, Lu Duan made up his mind, his injuries had healed, and he wanted to go to the front line in person, first, for shame; The second is to see the magic of Lu You with your own eyes.

As for the issue of the commendation of these two sons, Lu Duan also agreed to wait until the war is over, which is more secure and can also block everyone's mouth.

Despite this, Li Cong still sealed Lu You as a temporary general of Yiyi, Zheng Wupin, saying that it was so that Lu You could have a greater voice on the front line, but no one objected this time.

When Yan Yan received the holy decree from the palace, he also received the news that the Lu family was going to split up.

This time, Yan Yan was not surprised at all, because she had discussed this issue with the emperor, and the emperor thought that it was a wise move for Lu Duan to propose a split at this time.

After all, the reputation of the Lu family has fallen to the bottom after the Yan Mansion was tried and then when the Zhu family was reprimanded and grounded, and Yan Yan's attitude after that also said everything, in this case, it is just self-deception to hide it.

Rather than this, it is better to simply leave the Zhu family and maybe save some of the Lu family's face.

But the problem is that at present, the Zhu family is still a first-class lady, whether it is divorced or divorced, or it is not easy to take away her fateful identity, involving the intricate relationship network between these families, and also involving Lu Ming, a hero, not to mention that Lu Duan is not easy to move, even Li Cong does not dare to move easily.

In this case, the separation is the best compensation and arrangement for Lu You and Yan Yan, and it is also a piece of the heart disease that went to the Zhu family.

Because of the separation of the family, even if Lu You leaves the Zhenguo Mansion, even if Lu Ming has any accident in the future, it is his son who inherits his Zhenguo Mansion, and it is impossible for Lu You to be another concubine of the Branch.
