In the yamen of Shanzhou Prefecture, all the generals present burst into laughter when they saw that Qin Fu had gone away. Xiruo Zanzhuo even looked at him with disdain and sneered: "Sure enough, he is just a bandit!"
Someone responded and said: "These grass bandits really don't know the heights of the sky..."
At this time, Qin Fu walked out of the Shanzhou government office in a swagger, looked back at the archway of the government office, then smiled coldly, walked to the manger in front of the government office, took out his bay-red horse, and rode it all the way. Go to Lufu.
In a moment, Qin Fu had arrived in front of the Lu Mansion. When he dismounted, his butler had already rushed up to hold the horse. Qin Fu then asked the housekeeper with a smile: "Lu Tong, is the boss here?"
Lu Tong held the reins in his hand and said respectfully: "Here, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I said that I am waiting for you to come back, so I will ask you to go to the study to see him immediately."
"Okay, got it! Just take the horse back."
Qin Fu ran directly to Lu Mansion's study in a few steps, only to see that Lu Xiuyuan was writing furiously at his desk in the room. Lu Xiuyuan raised his head and saw Qin Fu coming back. He quickly put down the pen in his hand, stood up and came to Qin Fu, and asked impatiently: "How is the situation?"
"I did everything you asked."
"That's good!" Lu Xiuyuan nodded, "They don't have any doubts, right?"
"No, as soon as I said we wanted Shanzhou, I saw the disdainful look on Xiruozandra's face. It seems that they really think that we are just a group of short-sighted grass bandits now."
"Anyway, now is the time to fight back!" Lu Xiuyuan's eyes were firm, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Have our people been arranged?"
Lu Xiuyuan nodded, "That's almost it. If we are asked to defend the city today, we can arrange 5,000 men to defend the city, and you will be responsible. Then I will bring 5,000 men as backup."
"Where are Zuo'er and the others? Have they been notified yet?" Qin Fu also asked excitedly.
"They have just sent a message from flying pigeons, and we have agreed that at noon tomorrow, when they attack the city and set up the ladder, we will immediately cooperate inside and outside to catch them off guard."
Qin Fu was eager to give it a try, "Finally, I don't have to suffer from these thieves. Tomorrow, little brother, I will kill him completely."
Lu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about this now. Send someone up the mountain immediately to bring the message back. Let Lu Manxi ask Huo Yan to bring five thousand people to come for assistance."
Qin Fu asked in confusion: "Why let Huo Yan lead the troops? Now that he is down the mountain, what if someone takes advantage of the situation and captures Fengji Mountain?"
"We can't let Lu Manxi lead his troops down the mountain. I'm afraid he will be dispersed by the Tibetan army before he reaches Shanzhou City." Lu Xiuyuan said helplessly, "What's more, with Huo Quan coming down the mountain, our chances of winning will be low." It will be higher.”
Qin Fu smiled naively and said, "Second brother, look at the children we had, I was born a girl, and you were born with a silver pewter gun head!" When he said this, he suddenly thought of his elder brother and sighed, "The elder brother is still more powerful. Ah, I gave birth to two sons, both of whom are number one. Zuoer is so promising now, it seems that our injustice will soon be vindicated!"
"Don't worry. Although Man Xi's martial arts skills are mediocre, it shouldn't be a problem for him to defend the stronghold. Just tell him if you send someone to don't step out of the stronghold. If someone comes to attack the stronghold, he won't be able to hold on."
"I know, little brother! Even if Huo Yan brings another 5,000 troops down the mountain, there will still be 10,000 troops left in the stronghold. It shouldn't be a problem for this kid to hold on," Qin Fu said.
Lu Xiuyuan said with a solemn expression: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Send someone quickly! It takes half a day to get here from the village. Let them go down early tomorrow morning. By the way, there is another very important thing. Tomorrow we Everyone must wear a yellow ribbon on their left shoulder tomorrow."
"Why?"
"This is the signal agreed upon by Lu Zuo and the others, to distinguish them from the Tibetan army, so as to prevent both sides from accidentally injuring their own people."
"Okay! Then I'll send someone there right now!"
Qin Fu was about to turn around in a hurry when Lu Xiuyuan grabbed Qin Fu and said, "Remember, it must be an oral message, not a letter."
It was night, and it was another dark and windy night. Xiruozhanzhuo was standing on the tower and pacing back and forth. The Han army had been silent for a day. Could it be that there would be another raid tonight? Thinking of this, Xiruozandra couldn't help but shudder, and asked the people around him from time to time how long it had been. When his subordinates said it was already the first watch, Xiruozandra's left eyelid suddenly started to jump, and he faintly Yue Yue has an ominous premonition that there will be another offensive and defensive battle tonight.
Xiruozhenzhuo called Garlei and asked, "Has the sent detective horse returned?"
Garlei shook his head, "He hasn't disappeared yet!"
"You haven't come back yet?" Xiruozandra murmured. It seemed that these people had gone without turning back. They must have been captured by the enemy.
At this time, there was suddenly a rush of horse hooves outside the city, getting closer and closer. From what I heard, there should be only one horse. Sure enough, when I was thinking about it, a horse and a man appeared under the city tower. The man shouted to the people on the tower: "It's me, open the gate quickly!"
Xiruozandra pointed to the man and asked Garlei, "Who is this man?"
Garlei pointed to the man and told the marshal: "He is the detective horse we sent out. Unexpectedly, he came back alive."
Just like that, the city gate opened a small opening, and Tan Ma rode quickly through the gap in the door. Then he turned over and dismounted, and ran to the top of the city, preparing to meet the marshal to speak.
Seeing that the detective horse he sent had returned, Xi Ruozanzhuo was shocked and surprised. He quickly asked the visitor, "How is the situation with the Han army?"
"Reporting to the marshal, the Han army seems to have no intention of dispatching and is still stationed on Hupanling, twenty miles outside the city."
"This..." Xiruozhanzhuo has begun to wonder about the Han army's tactics. They have been reluctant to actually attack the city. What are they waiting for? Could it be that they took turns harassing our army just to allow us to defend the city in a panic, and then take advantage of any of our negligence to attack us head-on? So he ordered his men to concentrate on defending the city.
As soon as he finished speaking, his subordinates came to report again, "Marshal, Qin Fu is down with his subordinates."
Xiruozandra sneered, "Ask him to come up."
Qin Fu wore armor, walked quickly up the city, and came to Marshal Dafan to say hello.
Xi Ruozanzhuo pretended to be displeased and said, "Chief Qin, it's already dark. Why did you bring people here?"
"Reporting to the marshal, we are counting the number of people so that we can arrange manpower!"
"Oh? How many people will you send this time?"
"Five thousand?"
"Five thousand?" After hearing this, Xiruozandhuo was about to burst into rage. He suppressed his anger and said, "We are short of manpower now. Why did you send five thousand people?"
Qin Fu smiled and said, "Marshal, calm down and listen to me..."
