Knowing that Ning Ze's soldiers were killed in four ways, Chu Bai was shocked and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter.

According to his thoughts, Cheng Wan's strength is weak, and the other party should annex the weaker side first, how could he leave Cheng Wan alone and attack him in turn?

The subordinates and martial arts all knew that Lu Cong couldn't make a move, and was busy solving the surrounding princes, Cheng Wan was too busy to take care of himself, and there were no reinforcements at all, so he had to face Ning Ze alone.

fought with Ning Ze several times, and never took advantage, which made everyone have no confidence.

The main bookkeeper Fu Kun felt that Ning Ze's power was too strong and he couldn't be an enemy at all. Therefore, he stood up and suggested Chu Bai: "Envoy, Ning Ze's soldiers are strong and strong, and he has never lost a battle in several states." And through the demon arts, how to resist it? Lu Cong is too busy to take care of himself, and he may not be Ning Ze's opponent. Looking at the world, there are only a handful of people in the sixteen states who can defeat Ning Ze. foolishly thinks that this person will win the world, it is better to take the initiative to surrender to him, and the peace can be guaranteed!"

"Shut up!!" As soon as Fu Kun's voice fell, a general next to him stood up and scolded, "Eat the king's Lu, worry about the king." So that Jun still has two states of Yuan and Xi, and the land of five counties. Thousands of good generals, millions of soldiers, refusing to take advantage of the land, and when the time comes, knowing the peace, it may not be impossible to defeat Ning Ze! Those who persuade the king to surrender are bought by Ning Ze?"

What he said was actually a bit exaggerated, Chu Bai did have a large number of generals, but he couldn't make up a million people. The land of the five counties combined, there are about two or three hundred thousand. People in this era always like to exaggerate their forces by several times or even dozens of times in order to deter the enemy.

Fu Kun turned his head to look, and it was Rong Ting, the general under Chu Bai, who reprimanded him. Therefore, he arched his hand and said: "The lower official is loyal to the envoy and has not been bought by Ning Ze. What Fang Cai said was all for the sake of the envoy's consideration! Ning Ze's account was short of people, and if the envoy surrendered, he would be reused! Perhaps he would be able to retain his strength. Waiting for a comeback in the future. If you are an enemy, dare to ask the general if he is willing to lead the troops and repel these four armies?"

"You ......" Rong Ting was choked for a moment, turned his head and clasped his fists at Chu Bai and said, "Envoy, Fu Kun must be bought by Ning Ze before he can persuade Envoy Jun to surrender!

Fu Kun hurriedly said: "The general is slandered in vain, and the subordinate official is wronged! The subordinate only told the truth, but the general instigated the battle, but refused to lead the troops to the battle, what is the intention?"

Seeing Yiwen and Yiwu arguing in front of him, Chu Bai felt a headache and waved his hand to stop them: "Okay! The rich master is loyal, and the official has a number." General Rong is brave, and the officer also knows it. Don't be suspicious of each other and make people laugh!"

Seeing that the boss took the initiative to reconcile, Fu Kun and Rong Ting stopped arguing, glanced at each other, and returned to their original positions unhappily.

Chu Bai looked around at everyone: "This official has to be valued by the prime minister and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, how can he surrender without a fight? Although Ning Ze is strong, our army still has the strength to fight, as long as it drags on next spring, the prime minister will free up his hands, and Ning Ze will retreat by himself! Now that Ning Ze's army is attacking from all directions, please give you advice on how to block the enemy army!"

Everyone understands that the boss has already made a decision in his heart, he is unwilling to surrender, and wants to fight Ning Ze to the end. It's just that he doesn't want to fight head-on, and hopes to survive this winter in sticking to the mode and waiting for Lu Cong.

Zhizhong Shiyan stood up and said, "Ning Ze divided his troops into four ways, and the threat was suddenly reduced. Although Dewey, Ghost Face, and Ding Mu are brave, they are all unscrupulous and easy to deal with. Among the enemy forces on the four routes, they only need to deal with Ning Ze's main force with all their might! The other three routes send a general to guard it and order it to hold on to the city. ”

"This is the old man's words!" Chu Bai hurriedly asked, "Who can take on this heavy responsibility?"

Shi Yan replied: "General Rong Ting can go to Yong'an to resist Dewey; General Gongsun Wei can go to Luliang to resist Ding Mu; General Nie Wei can go to Yuanjun to resist the ghost face; so that Jun Ke can personally lead the main force to defend this city, and he will definitely be able to repel Ning Ze!"

Chu Bai was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "How many generals can share the worries of this official?"

Rong Ting, Gongsun Wei, and Nie Wei hesitated for a moment, and then stood up one after another and replied with their fists clenched: "The last general is willing to defend the city for the king!"

"Okay!" Chu Bai immediately ordered, "Then General Rong will lead his troops to guard Yong'an, General Gongsun will guard Lüliang, and General Nie will guard Yuanjun." If the enemy comes to attack, he must only hold on to the city, and he must not go into battle!

"Yes!!" the three generals responded in unison.

So they led their troops and set out to three cities.

Chu Bai personally sat in Qingshan County, led the generals to consolidate the city defense, and waited for Ning Ze's army.

Ning Ze's four-way troops and horses were ready and began to attack.

Dewey took the lead in attacking Yong'an County, and Xiang Rong and Xiang Yan served as deputies and came to the city.

Rong Ting commanded the defense of the city, strictly followed Chu Bai's orders, and always held the city no matter how provoked by Dewey.

It was useless to call for war, and Dewey led his troops to attack.

Rong Ting ordered bows and arrows to be fired, resisted the city, and relied on the city walls to repel Dewey's army several times.

Seeing that the enemy's city was strong, Dewey temporarily retreated.

Set up camp and think about how to break the city.

Xiang Yan suggested: "The enemy army mainly drags and holds the city. The last general studied the information of Yong'an, and the water source in the city mainly relied on the supply of the Junyang River. If our army goes to the upper reaches of the Junyang River to cut off the flow of water, Yong'an will be in chaos! If the enemy army does not go out of the city, the people, soldiers, and war horses in the city will be consumed day by day, and there will be no water to drink in less than half a month.

Dewey thought this strategy was very good, so he sent troops to the upper reaches of the Junyang River to block the water source as Xiang Yan said, and asked the army to dig a waterway to divert the water to the nearby river.

The water level of the Junyang River dropped, and the city quickly discovered it and immediately reported it to Rong Ting.

Rong Ting was shocked that there were only a few wells in Yong'an City, and almost all of them lived on the water source of the Junyang River. The enemy cuts off the Junyang River, this move is too ruthless!

His subordinates persuaded him to lead his troops out of the city and protect the water source of the Junyang River so that it could flow smoothly into the city.

Of course, Rong Ting knew that the water source was important, but Chu Bai told him to stick to the city and not go out under any circumstances, so as not to lose it. Therefore, they thought of other ways and sent people to find craftsmen who were proficient in drilling wells, hoping to drill as many wells as possible to provide the water needed to maintain the basic needs of the city. At the same time, it was ordered to protect all water sources promoted in the city, including wells in the homes of the common people, and to give priority to the requisition of military supplies.

A few days later, the Junyang River dried up completely, the upstream water source flowed to other places, and the water source in the city was completely insufficient.

The craftsman in charge of drilling the well reported that he could not find a suitable underground water vein, after all, Yong'an underground water veins are scarce, otherwise he would not completely rely on the Junyang River.

His subordinates persuaded Rong Ting to go out of the city to regain the water source, after all, water is the most important living resource, and the water source of the upper reaches of the Junyang River must be returned to the city.

Rong Ting did not agree, feeling that the water source in the city could be used sparingly, so that the army could hold out for about a month. In addition, it will snow from time to time in winter, so there is no problem for the army and the people to take snow and water.

After Dewey's army cut off the flow of water, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but just surrounded the four city gates of Yong'an County to cut off the possibility of anyone in the city going out of the city to fetch water.

Speaking of Rong Ting's idea is right, relying on the existing water source, if it can rain a few snows, the people can turn snow into water and be thrifty, and they can insist on it.

But his luck doesn't seem to be so good, there is only one snow in Yongan County for more than half a month, and it is not very big.

Not long after the snow, all corners of the entire Yong'an City were swept clean by the people, and there was not a single snowflake left.

It's just that when it melts, there's only a small amount of water.

The army is to ensure the minimum water supply needs, there is not much problem, the people are growing more and more, especially the water well at home is occupied by soldiers, and the water source that obviously belongs to their own family can only be watched, and not a drop can be obtained.

Finally, the resentment has accumulated to a certain extent and completely exploded!

Yuanzhou was originally snatched by Chu Bai from Su Jun, and it was too late to operate, and the people's morale was very low.

Originally, the people lived a decent life, and who cared who controlled it. Now that he can't even close the water, he thinks of the normal days when Su Jun was there. All kinds of grievances accumulate and once poured out, it is a terrible torrent.

I don't know who took the lead first, but the people in the city gathered one after another, went out of their homes and stormed the city gate, and clashed with the Rongting army.

Rong Ting was shocked and hurriedly ordered to suppress the rioting people.

As a result, the situation became more difficult to control, and the people of Yong'an were already extremely angry, and the violent repression by the government made them even more angry.

The conflict between the out-of-control civilians and the Rong Ting forces intensified and turned into fierce fighting.

Some people relied on their numbers to rush the defenders of the city gate and directly open the city gate.

Dewey seized the opportunity, took Xiang Rong and Xiang Yan brothers, and the army rushed over, calling on the local people to help capture the city.

The people of Yong'an were in charge of restoring the water source of the Lejunyang River, so they led Dewey's army into the city.

Rong Ting led the defenders to resist desperately, but finally could not withstand Dewey's army with the assistance of the people.

Dewey attacked Yong'an, beheaded Rong Ting, and the rest surrendered.

After the seizure of the city, he immediately appeased the people and promised to dredge the Junyang River as soon as possible and restore water for the people.

At the same time, Ding Mu led his troops to attack Luliang County, occupying various county towns along the way.

Gongsun Wei led his troops to guard Lüliang County, and the officials above and below Lüliang were extremely scolding him.

One day, He Fang, the governor of Luliang, invited Gongsun to the mansion for a drink.

After Gongsun Wei got drunk, he borrowed He Fang's toilet to go out of Gong, and ran into He Fang's favorite concubine Yang in the backyard, and insulted her with drunkenness.

The next person bumped into it and quickly informed He Fang.

He Fang hurried to the backyard, saw this scene and was furious, and lost control of his emotions and pulled out his sword and stabbed Gongsun Wei to death.

After that, I felt scared and overwhelmed.

The family said to him: "Now that you have killed Gongsun Wei, it is better to deceive and open the city gate and welcome Ding Mu into the city!

He Fang had no way to retreat, so he booby-trapped Gongsun Wei's entourage, led his subordinates to deceive the city gate, and let Ding Mu in.

Ding Mu captured Lu Liang without spending a single soldier, and really reused He Fang and asked him to help stabilize the situation.

He Fang had no choice but to do his best to assist Ding Mu, lead his troops to take down those who were unwilling to surrender, and try his best to appease the people.

Ding Mu asked his subordinates to write a letter and quickly pass it to Ning Ze to report the situation here. The letter explained He Fang's affairs, and felt that this person was capable, and he killed Chu Bai's generals, so he could only assist himself wholeheartedly and could be reused.
