No matter how eloquent Cao Ding was and how much he spent his words, he could not convince Lu Jubei who had made up his mind, and finally left with a dark face.
"Hmph. Threatening us. It's simply stupid." Lu Jubei snorted coldly and said.
"Sir. Although Cao Ding said that Wu Nian and Wan Yanxian were tied, he was threatening us. But Long Qie came to Chengshan Castle with fifteen thousand people. I guess it is true. This is real. threaten."
Ma Zheng sighed and said solemnly.
"Yes. Lord Ma. Please go to the army, encourage the morale of the soldiers, and actively resist Wu Nian. I guess it is impossible for Wu Nian to attack our Chengshan Fort with all his strength. After all, the Meng Yuan people are still watching. If he is with us If Chengshan Fort loses its troops and generals, the Mongolian people can devour it."
Lu Jubei nodded in agreement, but there was not much seriousness in his eyebrows and he said with a smile.
"That's right." Ma Zheng was relieved after hearing this and also laughed. Immediately, he stood up and said goodbye to Lu Jubei, pressed the knife and left the main room.
"As long as there are horses and soldiers, I will be invincible. What can you do to me, Wu Nian?" Lu Gou stretched out his right hand and pinched his beard, his expression full of confidence and arrogance.
This Chengshan Castle is mine, no one can take it away.
On the mountain road, in the valley. It was covered with fifteen thousand people brought by Long Qie.
In a valley, Long Qie led his newly formed army of thousands of soldiers and set up camp, waiting for Cao Ding to return.
Inside the big tent. The stove burns vigorously, driving away the cold. Long Qie and his ten hundred households sat in order of priority.
"Brothers, the general thinks highly of me. Not only did he give me the rank of lieutenant, but he also asked me to lead 15,000 people to guard Chengshan Fort. I can't embarrass him. You keep an eye on the people, and you can't freeze anyone to death."
Long Qie's face was very serious and he said to everyone in a deep voice.
This time he was rescued by Wu Nian, and his heart was filled with gratitude. He did not allow himself to make mistakes and embarrass Wu Nian.
The relationship between the army and the people is very good. A large part of Wu Nian's prestige comes from his kindness to the people.
"Yes." Hundreds of households responded seriously.
Long Qie nodded lightly and waved for them to go down.
"It's really cold." Long Qie exhaled, stood up, took a small bench, sat close to the stove, stretched out his hands to warm himself, a look of satisfaction on his face.
In fact, it was because I was hungry for many days on Yundang Mountain. This short period of time was not enough for him to regain his strength, and his body was particularly afraid of the cold.
"Master Captain, Mr. Cao is back." Suddenly a soldier came in from outside and reported.
"It's good to come." Long Qie's eyes lit up and he blurted out. Then he stood up and waited at the door. But he quickly frowned and looked at the dark-faced Cao Ding walking over.
"What's the problem?" Long Qie stepped aside to let Cao Ding in, and asked in a deep voice.
Cao Ding moved a small bench and sat down around the stove to warm himself. He explained the situation with a dark face, and finally said angrily: "This Lu Jubei left me hanging in the living room for half an hour, and no food or salt came in. He is determined to separate himself into a mountain fortress."
Long Qie was furious, clasping his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth, and said angrily: "These two birdies clearly despise our general."
"And they don't have a big picture view. They guard Chengshan Fort, but they just want to be a local emperor. By occupying Chengshan Fort, we can interact with Beishan Fort and Tiancheng Fort to compete with the Mongolian people."
"But there is nothing we can do. Now Chengshan Fort is in their hands. I have observed that the soldiers and civilians are very calm. Now, Sir Captain, your troops have just been established, and we have no heavy siege equipment. There is nothing we can do to them."
Cao Ding nodded and agreed with Long Qie's words, but he kept smiling bitterly.
Speaking of which, they are considered to have strength in numbers. Fifteen thousand people, plus a thousand households of troops. But the walls of Chengshan Fort and the surrounding terrain made it difficult for them to spread out.
If you forcefully attack Chengshan Fort, you will not only lose troops and generals, but it will also be difficult to capture Chengshan Fort. In the end, it may be a waste of water.
The gain outweighs the loss.
The most important thing is that the Meng Yuan people are watching eagerly. Jin Huan Shan and Wan Yan Xian both had a grudge against Beishan Fort.
If they fight among themselves, wouldn't it give the Meng Yuan people an advantage?
Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng really have no sense of the overall situation. Now that Liaodong has been completely occupied, they are still fighting for power and profit around a small castle. It's really... ugh.
The two people sighed and discussed for a long time, but they did not come up with a reason. It is really difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
"Although it is embarrassing, there is nothing we can do. Send someone immediately to tell the general about the situation. Ask the general to send elite troops to help me."
Long Qie let out a long sigh, his face was on fire, he was very ashamed, but he had no choice but to say to Cao Ding.
"That's all." Cao Ding smiled bitterly and shook his head.
So, a fast horse galloped out of the camp and headed to Beishan Fort. Long Qie was depressed, but he could only stay in the camp and wait for Wu Nian's reinforcements.
But he not only waited for reinforcements, but also for Wu Nian himself.
This morning.
Wu Nian led a team of more than a hundred elite armored soldiers to the camp where Long Qie was located.
"General, why are you here in person?" After Long Qie got the news, he quickly led Cao Ding and came out of the tent to greet him.
"I heard about the situation and felt that these people named Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng were difficult to deal with, so I couldn't help but come here." Wu Nian got off his horse, took off his mask, exposed his rosy cheeks, and then pointed at the man behind him. Soldier, said: "I transferred these soldiers from Miss Wei. They can be used as a breakthrough."
Currently, among the soldiers under his command, Wei Ru's Wei family army is still the most elite.
"With the help of more than a hundred armored soldiers, it is not difficult to break through Chengshan Fort. But I am afraid there will be damage. Whether our soldiers are injured or the soldiers of Chengshan Fort are injured, it is our Han people's own loss."
Long Qie shook his head and sighed. Then, he bent down and invited Wu Nian to come in, and the three of them sat down around the stove.
"Brother is right. Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng are so abominable. In order to seize power, they ignored the lives of our Han family sons. If we forcefully break through the city, we will lose our own strength." Wu Nian narrowed his eyes. Eyes, gritted teeth.
What kind of bullshit is this?
I just wanted to take over two Baihusuo castles, but I encountered something like this. Two reasonably capable people.
Think you have the ability.
In fact, it is arrogance.
It is easy to crush to death, but it is not easy to crush to death without damaging the strength of both sides.
He was determined to resist the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, not to compete with the Han people for power.
hateful.
After being angry for a while, Wu Nian took a deep breath and said to the two of them: "On the way here, I thought of a plan. If you listen to it and think it is feasible, we will use it."
"General, please give me your instructions." Long Qie and Cao Ding looked at each other, their spirits were lifted, and they both clasped their fists and saluted.
