Governor Zhang didn't sleep all night, pulled Chen Jian'an around to count the number of people, and sent people to the city to beat gongs and drums to wake up the people, and forcibly arrested the young and middle-aged people, so that they could gather in the city gate.

In order to justify himself, Governor Zhang also took out the lantern of the previous year's birthday and hung it at the door at the suggestion of Chen Jian'an, so that others really thought that the Zhang family had any happy event at first glance.

From dawn, Governor Zhang's henchmen came from all directions, bringing the people he wanted, as well as the congratulatory gifts that were hurriedly prepared.

But Jiang Fu never appeared.

The barbarian has not moved, and Governor Zhang's Mansion had to let people prepare wine and food first, and gather the guests in their own homes first, and the front yard was lively and lively, which really looked like Governor Zhang's birthday.

"My lord is really sympathetic to the people, knowing that Lin Yangcheng suffered a disaster this year, he deliberately gave the birthday banquet in advance to the people to rush to the joy and drive away the mildew."

"Yes, Lord Zhang has always loved the people like a son, and he is our example!"

"I think this year's birthday banquet has also been streamlined a lot, it must be that adults are thrifty, and we should follow suit."

A group of Zhang Zhifu's doglegs were pushing the cup and changing the lamp, while touting hard.

They didn't suspect anything wrong with this birthday banquet at all, even if the dishes were rough, they just thought that this was Governor Zhang taking the opportunity to cry poor with him, and wanted to pay more filial piety to himself.

Governor Zhang waited until it was dark, and he didn't hear any movement, in order to keep the group of officials, he finished the main meal and served snacks, and sang and danced after eating snacks.

It was lively until the sun went down.

"Lord Chen, is there any news from Lin Yang City?"

Seeing that there had been no movement, Governor Zhang asked Chen Jian'an uneasily, with a hint of luck in his heart, hoping that the Yang family's army would be powerful and drive all the barbarians away?

Chen Jian'an shook his head in embarrassment.

"It's not a secret, Lin Yang City is already an empty city at this time, and even the lower officials can't find out what the situation is.

But there has been no news, and we can't wait, and even if we can afford to wait, the adults in the yard can't afford to wait.

According to the opinion of the lower officials, why don't you send someone to quietly go out to have a look and inquire about the situation? ”

Governor Zhang felt that what he said made sense, but it was not appropriate to publicize it at this time, and he really couldn't find a suitable person to go out to investigate for a while.

Chen Jian'an knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and said deliberately:

"Zhang Gongzi is very skilled, it's better to let him take someone out of the city quietly, take a few people and travel lightly, even if he really meets a barbarian, he will definitely be able to run back in advance."

This matter is very important, except for Zhang Gongzi, others must not be at ease if they go to do it. ”

Zhang Heng is the only son of Zhang Zhifu, and Zhang Zhifu hesitated for a moment when he heard this.

But Chen Jian'an was right, this matter could not leak the news, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he still sent a few guards to escort Zhang Heng out of the city to find out the news.

At the time of life and death, an old fox like him does not believe in anyone, only his son.

Chen Jian'an also took this idea seriously, and he knew that Governor Zhang would definitely agree.

Zhang Heng was a young man, and he already had a lot of complaints about Chen Jian'an, but after waiting for a day to see that there was no movement, he was even more suspicious.

His father's instructions just caught him in the heart, making him want to go to Lin Yang City in person and see with his own eyes what Chen Jian'an was doing.

The few guards assigned to him by Governor Zhang were all masters trained by the Zhang family at a great price, and even if they were really unlucky enough to encounter barbarian soldiers, they could guarantee that Zhang Heng would retreat from the enemy army of several thousand people.

But neither father nor son expected that Zhang Heng had just walked out of the city gate for less than half an hour before he was held down by a black-clothed team and locked up with his head covered.

"Madam, according to your orders, the people have been caught, tied up and locked in the carriage behind, what should we do next?"

Jiang Fu looked at the rickety carriage behind her, presumably Zhang Heng was struggling in it, she sneered:

"Don't worry about that stupid son of the prefect's family, didn't he bring a few guards? Take out one, find a barbarian who can speak in the past, disguise himself as a barbarian, and tell him that the barbarian has taken his son hostage and asked him to open the city gates. ”

Qi Zhou hesitated when he heard this, but he couldn't help but say:

"I'm afraid that according to Governor Zhang's greedy character and fear of death, he won't agree."

Jiang Fu waved her hand, obviously knowing that a Zhang Heng couldn't hold the Zhang Governor's Mansion, and she wasn't ready to really use a Zhang Heng to rush into Luliang City.

"Just do as I say, and then you personally take people to disguise themselves as barbarians outside Luliang City and pretend to force the city, and you are not allowed to leave without my orders."

Qi Zhou pursed his lips, arched his hand, and ordered dozens of people to leave with him and a guard as she said.

Jiang Fu didn't move in place, looking at Lin Yang's direction and not speaking, as if he was waiting for something.

I knew that after more than half an hour, the sound of horses' hooves like a tide sounded in the distance.

Jiang Fu clapped his palms together, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's coming, it's just the right time! Go pack your things, let's get ready to go to Luliang City! ”

Hearing this, the other soldiers of the Xuantie Cavalry got into the carriage one after another, and after a while, General Yang rode a tall horse in armor and galloped to Jiang Fu.

"Let's go, General Yang, let's go rescue Luliang."

General Yang smiled when he heard this, made a gesture of invitation to her, and Jiang Fu turned over and followed him.

Qizhou, who arrived one step ahead of schedule, put the Zhang family's guards into the city, and then led people to stand in the night, looking from a distance, it really looked like the vanguard of the barbarians.

When Governor Zhang saw the wounded guard come back by himself, his eyes were black and he almost fainted.

"What about my son? How's my son? ”

The guard knelt on the ground and said ashamedly:

"The subordinates are not in a good position, and as soon as they left the city, they were attacked by the barbarians' elite soldiers on the road, and the young master was unfortunately captured.

The barbarian asked his subordinates to come back and tell you that as long as you are willing to open the city gates, they will promise not to hurt the young master. ”

Hearing this, Governor Zhang was so angry that he kicked the guard in the chest, kicking him backwards.

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! If this gate is opened, we won't survive if the barbarians rush in, and if you hadn't lost the young master, things wouldn't have turned out like this! ”

The guard was kicked and vomited a mouthful of blood, but Governor Zhang was still puzzled and wanted to go up and kick again, but was stopped by Chen Jian'an.

"The adults are angry, the top priority is how to save Luliang and rescue the young master.

According to the lower officials, at this time, the barbarians have already come to the city, so it is better to send the people from the people to guard the city gate first, in case the barbarians come in, there will be someone to resist.

You go to the front, and first find a way to transfer the troops brought by those who participated in the drill to the other side of the moat, so that all the barbarians can be stopped outside the prefect's mansion. ”

Governor Zhang remembered that the barbarian was about to be killed, and when he heard the words, he immediately nodded again and again, and did as he said.

Chen Jian'an listened to his instructions to the butler, looked up at the direction of the city gate, and looked thoughtfully.
