The palace of General Fu Han was still busy.
Officials came and went, and there seemed to be endless work to do.
In the main room. Liu Zhixing was talking to Li Yong and Tieniu about the newly recruited militiamen, his face and tone were serious.
Although Wu Nian won battles again and again, his own casualties were also huge. Based on the current population controlled by Beishan Fort.
The number of able-bodied men among the people has dropped to an extremely low level.
This is a very dangerous thing. Strong men are the top leaders in farming. There are no men among the people, and all industries are in ruins.
So this war is also very important.
Won.
You can capture the county seat and bring more mountain villages, castles, and lands under your jurisdiction, otherwise you really won't be able to hold on.
"Da da da!!!"
A guard broke in from outside. Before Liu Zhixing could get angry, the guard knelt down on one knee with a look of joy on his face and reported: "Master Chang Shi. The general won a great victory in Huangtu Ridge. He killed four thousand captains and Tu Er. Thousands of soldiers from the Yuan Dynasty were recruited, and most of the Han people were surrendered."
Of course you want to win the war.
Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Tieniu and others were mentally prepared, but when it happened, they were still stunned.
They were stunned for three seconds before they reacted.
"Hahaha. As expected of a general. It's easy. What a pity. I, Tieniu, didn't participate." Tieniu laughed hahaha, extremely happy, and then very frustrated.
I was really unwilling to get a stay-at-home assignment.
"Okay, okay. Now that Meng Yuan's main force is confronting Xiong Wuwo, we can quickly expand our results. We can look forward to the future."
Liu Zhixing put his hands on his hands and smiled. He, who was always calm, stood up and paced back and forth. He was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
Li Yong exhaled, with a heartfelt smile on his face.
"Li Sima, prepare your siege equipment immediately. When the general comes back, it's time to attack the city."
"Tie Xiaowei. Go and arrest Chen Ning and kill him."
Liu Zhixing quickly calmed down, raised his head and gave orders to the two of them respectively.
"Yes." Tieniu and Li Yong both stood up with serious faces, turned around and walked out with fists clasped.
"Quick. Spread the news throughout the city immediately, so that everyone can be happy." Liu Zhixing came to the guard who was kneeling on one knee and ordered with a smile.
"Yes." The guard responded loudly, stood up and walked away quickly with a happy face.
"Hahaha. These few months of waiting have really paid off. Xiong Wuwo, Xiong Wuwo, you have really helped us a lot."
Liu Zhixing couldn't help laughing again, especially when he thought of Wu Nian who wanted to send troops during the autumn harvest, but was stopped by himself.
The temporary patience turned out to be a great opportunity.
It's so worth it.
As the news spread, the soldiers and civilians of the entire Beishan Fort burst into joy. The sky is filled with joy, even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Many people even cried with joy.
Tieniu brought a group of soldiers with him and aggressively found Chen Ning who was working in the office.
Chen Ning's job is not easy. He needs to supply food according to the number of new soldiers he recruits. I was working hard and was wondering why it was so noisy.
Tieniu walked in from outside.
"Tiejiao Lieutenant. What are you doing?" Chen Ning didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and raised his head in surprise and asked.
"Chen Ning. Stop pretending. You have been lurking in our Beishan Fort for two years. You can't think of it. The general has discovered you a long time ago and deliberately kept you here to pass information to Zhang Bu. Until now."
Seeing Chen Ning's expression of disbelief, Tieniu felt very happy. He put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "Thank you very much. You sent Zhang Bu the news that we were going to attack Dingxian. But in fact, we wanted to set up an ambush. .”
"As expected. Zhang Bu sent reinforcements to Dingxian County, and they passed through Huangtu Ridge, but they were all wiped out by the general."
"Thank you for your contribution. I will make an exception and leave you a complete body. I will buy you a coffin with my own money and bury it on the mountain."
"Do it."
Tieniu smiled, showing a murderous look, turned around and said to the soldiers behind him.
"Yes." The two soldiers responded. One of the soldiers took out the rope that had been prepared and prepared to strangle Chen Ning.
"Tie Xiaowei, Iron Xiaowei. This is a misunderstanding. This is a misunderstanding. I am not Zhang Bu's spy at all. I have nothing to do with Zhang Bu."
Chen Ning was both frightened and frightened. She never expected that things would be like this.
I have been promoted very quickly in the past two years. Isn’t it my own efforts? I am careful and careful when passing on news.
I thought I didn't reveal any clues, but it turned out that they were all under Wu Nian's surveillance?
As a spy, I not only failed to play a role, but also led to Zhang Bu's defeat.
It's all over, it's all over.
Chen Ning kept begging for mercy and explaining, but he was hugged by a soldier, who put a rope around his neck and pulled it tight.
Chen Ning's begging for mercy stopped suddenly, and she struggled with her hands and feet until her eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, and her body became stiff and she could no longer take in air.
A soldier was worried and stretched out his hand to check Chen Ning's pulse, then raised his head and nodded to Tieniu.
"As I said just now, bury him on the mountain."
Tieniu turned around in disgust and strode away. Although this spy has accomplished great achievements, it is really disgusting, stinky, and the stench is unbearable.
He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
Damn people are dead.
With his death.
In the entire Beishan Fort, there were only cheers and joy. The whole city's soldiers and civilians, as well as the newly recruited militiamen outside the city, enjoyed the joy brought by this great victory.
Laughter.
............
Jiang County.
The city has been transformed into a wartime state. Although Zhang Bu did not close the city gate, the soldiers in front of the city gate searched extremely strictly.
They scolded the common people and businessmen passing by, causing passers-by to complain.
There were a large number of soldiers on the city and it was heavily guarded.
There are also heavily armed soldiers in the city, patrolling in teams. Important facilities such as granaries and arsenals were heavily guarded to prevent spies from causing trouble in the city.
Although Zhang Bu lacks military force, he is also excellent as a leading general. The defense of Jiang County was arranged in an orderly manner.
But even so, Zhang Bu was a little uneasy.
And it's getting more and more uneasy.
Zhang Mansion, inside the hall.
Zhang Bu was restless, sometimes sitting on the imperial chair, sometimes drinking tea, sometimes putting down the teacup and standing up to pace back and forth in the hall.
"Why? Why am I so upset?"
"I have arranged the defenses inside and outside the city."
"Wu Nian is going to attack Dingxian, and I have sent reinforcements. Why am I still so uneasy?"
Zhang Bu was pacing with his hands behind his back and muttering to himself, his face red with black, looking a little embarrassed.
