Ye Ruoyu smiled softly and replied: "The King of Chu's letter said that as long as we block the imperial army, we are allowed to control Luyang County and govern the place ourselves."
Ye Yunfei wiped his sweat and said with emotion: "King Chu is so benevolent and righteous."
Ye Ruoyu snorted: "Dad, you are really stupid. King Chu's arrangement is clearly a monkey trick to take advantage of you. If you can't stop the imperial army, Lushan Village will be wiped out. If you can stop the imperial army, you will be given a mere chance. The county is simply mean and unkind.”
"Under the current situation, if I can help him block the imperial court, even if it is given to Nanyang County, it is worth it. But the King of Chu is so stingy and only gives this little."
"If it were me, that would never be the case."
Ye Ruoyu shook his head and said: "The King of Chu is too stingy. He is not broad-minded and thoughtful enough. I'm afraid he is in trouble."
"Ruoyu, don't be rude!"
Ye Yunfei scolded: "Without King Chu, how could my father be where he is today, and how could you have grown up properly?"
Ye Ruoyu snorted and said: "If the King of Chu was really benevolent, he would not throw our family into Lushan to become bandits. Good officers and soldiers must be treated as bandits to rob the people."
Ye Yunfei said: "What do you know? This is a strategic arrangement."
"Bullshit strategy!"
Ye Ruoyu sneered and said: "My daughter doesn't understand any big principles. She only knows that when the King of Chu asked us to rob the people and kill the rich, he never showed mercy."
"We are the ones who bear the blame, but he is still the superior King of Chu."
"If he has great ambitions and a big heart, why should he hide his head and show his tail like this? If he wants to fight, he should fight openly and openly with the court. As long as he wins the first battle, he will have a foothold."
Ye Ruoyu said sarcastically: "What kind of prince is he who uses deceitful means to plot against the people? He just has the background of Zhu. If he peels off this layer of skin, he is nothing."
Ye Yunfei said in a deep voice: "Ruoyu, don't forget, without King Chu, we wouldn't be here today."
Ye Ruoyu said: "Of course I remember that if it weren't for these kindnesses, I would have ignored his orders a long time ago. The court is currently peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. On the contrary, the King of Chu is imposing excessive taxes and completely ignoring the people. Do you want to follow him all the time?"
Ye Yunfei said stubbornly: "Your Majesty's kindness must be repaid."
Ye Ruoyu said no more.
Her father is stubborn and doesn't know how to adapt, and she knows it all too well.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, a sentinel rushed over.
The sentinel came to Ye Yunfei's side and reported: "Master of the village, the imperial army is coming. It is less than ten miles away from our Lushan village."
"I know, let's explore again!"
Ye Yunfei ordered.
The sentry turned around and stepped back, continuing to stare.
Ye Yunfei looked at Ye Ruoyu and told him: "Ruoyu, go mobilize your troops and prepare for war. Our task now is to hold on to Lushan and guard Zhao Shan's main route south. As long as we hold on, Zhao Shan will not be able to go south, and the King of Chu will be able to sit back and relax ."
Ye Ruoyu nodded and went to prepare.
The father and daughter were ready. When everything was arranged, it didn't take long for the army led by Zhao Shan to arrive at the foot of Mount Lu.
This time the army heading south was not large, less than 40,000 people.
The main force was Wei Fengqing's Luoyang garrison.
The elite is the Xuanjia Army.
Zhao Shan led people to the foot of the mountain. Looking at Mount Lu, he could clearly see the groups of Lushan bandits arrayed on the mountain. He could also see the seven-winding road on Mount Lu. It was very difficult to climb Mount Lu.
After Zhao Shan observed, he looked at Fang Weihu and asked, "Fang Qing, is this the only way to climb Mount Lu?"
"There's only one way!"
Fang Weihu responded quickly and explained: "I have arranged for people to know before, and coupled with the information from Su Wei, there is only one steep road to climb Mount Lu."
"To climb Mount Lu, you have to go around seven winding terrains. The road is very difficult."
"Everywhere is guarded by bandits."
Fang Weihu said solemnly: "If the army wants to attack Lushan, it will definitely pay a high price. Therefore, I suggest that we attack wisely and not attack by force."
Zhao Shan nodded and asked, "How to outsmart him?"
Fang Weihu said: "The Lushan bandits are taking advantage of Lushan's geographical advantages. Putting aside the advantages of Lushan, they are not worth mentioning. In addition, the Lushan bandits have more people and their troops are not very elite."
"I suggest you divide your troops."
"Leave an elite force to guard Lushan and keep an eye on the Lushan bandits. The rest of the army will go south and seize Luyang County first. Especially in Luyang County, we also have our spies."
Fang Weihu said quickly: "Taking Luyang County is equivalent to isolating Lushan from Luyang County. The Lushan bandits are a lone army. Even if they have enough money and food, they cannot hold on forever."
Zhao Shan was thinking in his heart.
At this time, Ye Ruoyu was standing on the mountainside of the first song of Lushan's seven-song series, wearing armor.
The distance from the mountain to the bottom is not too far, only about five or six feet in height.
Ye Ruoyu said loudly: "Where is Zhao Shan?"
Zhao Shan was surprised when he heard it was a female voice: "Who is calling? Can you tell me your name?"
Ye Ruoyu said: "This girl, Ye Ruoyu, is the daughter of Ye Yunfei, the leader of Lushan Village. Zhao Shan, I advise you to evacuate Lushan immediately. You can't do any good if you stay in Lushan."
"The King of Chu has mobilized his army to march north. You are seeking your own destruction by coming to Lushan to attack."
"If I were you, I would not go south through Luyang County. I would choose to go south from Wuguan in the southwest of Luoyang, take the waterway along Danshui, go straight to Yin County in the hinterland of Nanyang, and further drive towards Deng County and enter Xiangyang."
Ye Ruoyu looked like he was pointing out the country and said loudly: "You went south through Luyang County and were blocked at Lushan. Such a strategy is simply ridiculous. Who gave you this advice?"
Zhao Shan couldn't help but laugh.
Going south from Wuguan in the southwest of Luoyang, you can indeed enter Nanyang County along Danshui. But there are too many mountains on this road, making it difficult to walk.
The current road is the most suitable for marching.
Zhao Shan wanted to break the hearts of the Lushan bandits and pretended to surrender: "Miss Ruoyu, my army is here. You and your father come down the mountain and surrender. I will give you a way to survive. In addition, those who come down the mountain and submit to the imperial court will be allocated land and given resettlement." We will ensure that you live and work in peace and contentment. If you stubbornly resist, we will kill you without mercy."
"fart!"
Ye Ruoyu said forcefully: "Zhao Shan, if you can take Lushan, why are you talking so much nonsense? If you have the ability, come and attack!"
Zhao Shan said: "I don't want to drink wine as a penalty, so I don't have much to say. Lushan is indeed difficult to attack. I tell you, I will not attack Lushan by force. I will leave some soldiers to guard Lushan, and the army will attack Luyang." County. I will personally sit at the foot of the mountain, do you dare to go down the mountain?"
Ye Ruoyu sneered: "You go ahead and fool the devil, I don't believe you. Men are all big pigs and big liars. You can't even try to trick me down the mountain."
Zhao Shan did not argue with Ye Ruoyu.
He quickly made adjustments and arranged for Wei Fengqing to lead his troops south according to Fang Weihu's strategy. As a counselor, Fang Weihu took Zhao Ce and went south with Wei Fengqing.
Zhao Shan, Zhou Huhou, Qin Wuji and three thousand Xuanjia troops stayed at the foot of Lu Mountain.
After the Xuanjia Army garrisoned, this scene was seen by Ye Ruoyu. She thought for a while, looked at Ye Yunfei, and asked: "Dad, Zhao Shan has really divided his forces, can we fight him?"
Ye Yunfei said: "Wait a minute, what if we go down the mountain to attack now, and the army sent by Zhao Shan suddenly comes back?"
Ye Ruoyu said: "Dad is right, wait a little longer."
Father and daughter waited.
Most of the day passed, and the sentinel came back. He first took a small path into the forest of Lushan, and then went around halfway up the mountain to the first song of the seven-melody series. He returned to Ye Ruoyu and reported that the imperial army was really heading straight for Luyang County. .
At this moment, Ye Ruoyu's eyes were bright and he said quickly: "Dad, Zhao Shan really transferred the elite away, can we beat him?"
"beat!"
Ye Yunfei's eyes flashed and he said: "Zhao Shan thought his soldiers were elites, so he dared to garrison at the foot of the mountain. But I am fighting elites. Today, I want Zhao Shan to taste the consequences of arrogance."
