Chengshan Fort is located in the southwest of Beishan Fort.
It is also located on a small plain surrounded by mountains. The scope of this small plain is very small, and large-scale soldiers and horses cannot be arranged at all.
The city is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
There were originally four to five thousand people in the castle. After the Mongols went south, hundreds of households, general banner officials and other officials in the castle fled south with their families and slaves, and some military households fled south. Currently, there are about three thousand people left in the castle. .
After all, the time for the Mongolian people to obtain Liaodong was too short. Over at Beishan Fort, Wu Nian put up a frantic resistance.
They didn't have time to send brave officials to Dashan Fort to take over everything.
To put it simply, Chengshan Fort is currently in a power vacuum. The Chu state officials had withdrawn, but the Meng Yuan people had not yet come.
This gives careerists an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Just when Wu Nian was in full swing against the Mongolian Yuan people at Beishan Fort, he attracted the attention of the Mongolian Yuan general Jin Huanshan and the Han general general Zhang Bu.
Someone stole Chengshan Fort and gained the trust of the people in the fort.
One of them is called Lu Jubei, a master of civil affairs and a native of northern Liaoning. At the beginning of the Mongolian Yuan people's march south, he took his family to flee south and stopped at Chengshan Fort.
In the Chu State, the Juren Master was an official reserve and had great power in the local area. The Lu family was originally a scholarly family, with scholars from the fifth and sixth generations.
In Liaodong, it was common practice to raise family soldiers. When Lu Jubei took his family to the south, he also brought many domestic slaves and soldiers, who were quite powerful.
The other person is named Ma Zheng, who was originally a young general in Liaodong and has been an official for generations. Before the Meng Yuan people went south, the official worshiped the general flag.
Moreover, Ma Zheng is not a bad Liaodong general. He has real abilities and makes good use of Ma Shu. When he fled, he took his subordinates and their families with him, which was quite powerful.
After the two of them arrived at Dashan Fort, they saw Wu Nian and the Meng Yuan people fighting against each other in full swing next door, and they became a little distracted.
One of them is in charge of the people and the other is in charge of the army. Recruiting soldiers and horses, gathering militiamen, and entrenched themselves in Chengshan Fort, becoming a local emperor.
This morning. The sun is shining, but it cannot melt the snow all over the mountains and plains.
Chengshan Fort.
This castle was originally in ruins, but after Ma Zheng's emergency repairs, it is not rock solid at present, but at least it is a qualified military fortress, and defense is not a problem.
A banner with the character "LV" hung on the city gate tower, announcing that the owner of this place was named Lü Jubei. On the city wall, elite soldiers cooperated with the militia, either standing guard or training. They were not well-equipped, but they were energetic and looked somewhat imposing.
The hundreds of government offices in the city have now become Lu Jubei's residence. All the young and old of the Lu family live in the Yamen.
Ma Zheng was willing to serve as deputy and lead the troops to live in the military camp.
The two of them, one civil and one military, controlled Chengshan Fort tightly.
Inside the hall. Lu Jubei was wearing a black cotton-padded jacket, sitting on the main seat, with a blue leather hat on his head and black cloth shoes on his feet. He had his legs crossed and was sipping tea leisurely.
Ma Zheng, who is in his mid-twenties, has a very ordinary appearance, but his body is very burly and his eyes are fierce and murderous.
Wearing a half-worn war jacket, with a steel knife hanging on his waist, he was also drinking tea.
"Wu Nian has been sending troops to Guangyang Mansion for a long time. I don't know what the situation is like now." Ma Zheng put down the tea cup in his hand, with a worried look on his face.
The reason why he dared to establish a foothold in this Chengshan Fort was because Wu Nian attracted the attention of the Meng Yuan people. If Wu Nian goes to Guangyang Mansion and something goes wrong, they may not be able to stand.
He didn't know that Wu Nian had already led his troops back, but there was nothing he could do. There was a lot of snow in the mountains, the mountain roads were difficult to walk, and there was very little information.
Although Chengshan Fort is only a few dozen miles away from Beishan Fort, the news has not yet spread.
Lu Jubei had a different idea. There was a smile in his eyes. He looked up at Ma Zheng and said, "Wu Nian used conspiracy and relied on the castle to kill some Mongolian captains and some Mongolian soldiers. The result was not the same." I will use my strength to attack Guangyang Mansion and make Wan Yanxian an enemy. I think he will die in Guangyang Mansion."
Ma Zheng suddenly became anxious. He stood up with a dark face, put his hands on his waist, and walked back and forth: "Wu Nian, why do you want to go to Guangyang Mansion? Didn't he fight very well in Beishan Fort? "
"Now we are sending troops to Guangyang Mansion to save Long Qie. Isn't this crazy?"
"If Wu Nian dies in Guangyang Mansion, then Mr. Lu, we have to make plans early."
The so-called plans are just two plans. One is to abandon Chengshan Fort, take the mountain road, pretend to be an ordinary citizen, and go south to the Chu Kingdom.
The second is to form a mountain fortress and surrender to the Mongols.
Ma Zheng was a little panicked, but Lu Jubei was calm and composed. He picked up the tea cup, took a leisurely sip of tea, and then said happily: "Master Ma, don't panic. In my opinion, if Wu Nian died in Guangyang Mansion, it would be good for us. Leah."
"Without Wu Nian leading the way, where will we benefit?" Ma Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked. But he soon remembered that the man in front of him was a scholar, a scholar, and quite resourceful. Because of this, he was willing to become a deputy.
"What do you think, sir?" Ma Zheng returned to his seat and sat down. He raised his head and looked at Lu Jubei with burning eyes.
"If Wu Nian died in Guangyang Mansion, Beishan Fort would have no master. The soldiers and civilians there fought with the Meng Yuan people, and their morale was very high, and their will to fight was very determined. They are people who can be used."
"And I am a serious official of the Chu Kingdom, and I am the general banner with the official seal."
"Wu Nian can claim to be General of the Assistant Han and coordinate the overall situation. Am I not more qualified than him? If Wu Nian dies in Guangyang Mansion, you will escort me to Beishan Fort and take over all the power of Beishan Fort."
"Master Ma, you are a capable person. I am also a capable person. Let's work together to make a name for ourselves in Liaodong. When the imperial court regains Liaodong in the future, won't we have a bright future?"
When Lu Jubei faced his subordinate generals, he also dug his heart out and spoke out his ambitions and ideas.
As the saying goes, times make heroes.
He was originally a civil servant, but that was all. Seeing that it is no longer possible to study for the imperial examination. Now that such an opportunity is in front of you, you must seize it.
Ma Zheng was a man with good martial arts skills and a good command of troops.
Wu Nian laid the foundation of Beishan Castle for them again. The most amazing thing is that Wu Nian has now gone to Guangyang Mansion, and his life or death is uncertain.
No.
In his opinion, Wu Nian was dead. The other party is very beautiful. When Wu Nian was in Beishan Fort, he could only resist the attack of Jinhuan Mountain by relying on conspiracy and tricks, as well as the mountains and castles as defenses. When he went to Guangyang Mansion, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth and never returning?
He was able to take advantage of the opportunity, occupy the magpie's nest, and grab everything in Beishan Castle.
People.
I don't always want to believe what I hear, I only want to believe what I see.
Lu Jubei always believed that the reason why Wu Nian was able to rely on Beishan Fort to accomplish these major events was because of its geographical location and conspiracies.
He is resourceful and has good martial arts skills.
If Wu Nian can do it, they can do it too. With Beishan Fort and Chengshan Fort as the foundation, we persisted in resisting the Mongols in the mountains.
Waiting for the Chu State to counterattack Liaodong, they will be the great heroes.
Hey.
Perfect.
