It is a practice of marching and fighting. Although Yucheng is located in the north of Zhongtiao Mountain, it belongs to Dayang County. Now Dayang County has already purchased it. It is not only reasonable to collect grain in Yucheng, but also natural.

Cui Yu surrendered, nominally, Dayang Chang, so this task was naturally handed over to Cui Yu. Lu Su asked him to issue an announcement throughout the county to collect food and grass for the army. In view of the fact that King Wu was respectful of the people, this time, the collection of food and grass was not paid free of charge according to the Wu State's policy, and it could be offset for this year's taxes. Those who paid a large amount could also reduce labor service, or even reduce taxes within three years. In short, the more you pay, the better.

Cui Yu was in the table. When he just heard Xin Pi telling the story of Yucheng, he was still very relaxed. He laughed a few times, and at the same time he did not forget to despise these martial artists. He even listened to such a simple story with relish. He also secretly mocked Xin Pi only know how to deceive himself, and used Yu Shun's story to accompany Sun Ce to boost morale, but could not solve the fundamental problem. Now when he heard Xin Pi's suggestion, he was stunned.

Fake surrender is indeed a troublesome thing, and some things can't be avoided even if they want to. This matter is indeed his duty. If he refuses, Lu Su and Xinpi will definitely be suspicious. But if he does not refuse, Liu Bei's plan may also fail. Lu Su can continue to wait when he has grain, but Liu Bei cannot afford it. Of course, he can disobey and delay on the grounds that the people are unwilling to pay. However, the Wu State's grain collection system is so preferential that all the people are unwilling to do so. Maybe there will be a situation of actively offering grain.

Even if he is in a hostile position, Cui Yu has to say that this is a benevolent government. From ancient times to the present, no monarch would be so polite to the people when he was fighting.

"Ming Court, are there any problems?" Xinpi said with a smile.

Cui Yu hurriedly bowed. "There is no problem. It's just that Dayang changed hands several times in more than a month, and the officials were still in shock, just afraid that they would not do their jobs well."

"It's okay." Lu Su said lightly: "After the Ming court issued an order, I will issue another notice to inform the whole county. No, the officials of all counties in the county will be able to do things with peace of mind. Those who have made great contributions can immediately enter the assessment of Dawu." Lu Su paused and said: "Dayang first returns to sincerity, and there should be rewards. As long as this matter is done, the relevant personnel can be promoted to the next level."

Cui Yu was shocked and suddenly hesitated. The conditions were so good, otherwise I would really surrender, why bother so nervous? But doing so is risky. First, his family is still in Hanoi, and second, if Liu Bei reveals the truth, Lu Su may kill him.

"There are still questions?"

"Oh, no, no." Cui Yu came to his senses and said repeatedly: "Ming is kind and the officials and the people are grateful. This matter will definitely be done well."

"Then it's time for Mingting." Lu Su and Xinpi exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Xinpi immediately explained the next plan, selected an elite cavalry, interspersed in Anyi, contacted Lu Meng, so that he could defend the city with peace of mind and not act rashly. If possible, it would be best to send the encrypted combat plan to the city.

Zhang Liao volunteered. He recruited troops in Hedong and was familiar with the terrain. Lu Xiaohuan also actively sought war. Xinpi and Lu Su agreed and arranged for Zhang Liao to perform this task. Lu Xiaohuan accompanied him and selected 300 cavalrymen, one man and three horses, carrying enough food for half a month. In case of danger, he could fight in the entire Hedong area in a range without asking for instructions and reporting.

Zhang Liao agreed, and Lu Xiaohuan was excited, but he did not dare to be too arrogant and took the order seriously.

Cui Yu was very confused. Xinpi's move was too ruthless. If it could be implemented, all Liu Bei's plan would be vain. Now he knew the combat plan. Should he inform Liu Bei? The notice is very dangerous. Once it is discovered, he may be killed directly. If it is not reported, Liu Bei will definitely lose, so he can only take the false as the truth.

Xin Pi's entanglement with Cui Yu was clear at a glance, but pretended not to know, so he asked Cui Yu to provide several routes for choice. Cui Yu had no choice but to choose several routes based on the information he had. Xin Pi ordered the army to mark it on the map, so that Zhang Liao could remember it carefully.

Everything is arranged properly and all the generals act according to the orders. Those who are rested and those who are attacked will attack.

Lu Su did what he said and quickly issued two announcements: one for officials of all counties in Hedong and the other for the people of all Hedong. For now, it mainly refers to the officials and people of Dayang County.

These two announcements are very specific, without perfunctory, and are extremely operational. The first person who is excited was the officials of Dayang County. They didn't know that Cui Yu was a fraudulent surrender, and they never thought that they would change the monarch in the future. What they were most worried about was their future. Now I heard that as long as they do things with their heart, they would have no worries about their future. Of course, they had to work hard. Even if Lu Su wanted them to steal the last rations of the people, they would do their best. Moreover, Lu Su's conditions are so favorable, and the people would be heartless if they don't offer grain. They must be severely punished.

Therefore, without Cui Yu's supervision, the officials who received the order took action immediately and conveyed the announcement to the townships as quickly as possible.

Cui Yu was busy with official duties on the surface, and was secretly anxious like an ant on a hot pan. Lu Su was so disturbing that Liu Bei could soon receive relevant news. Whether to actively convey information became a choice he had to make.

After repeated weighing, he decided to convey the news to Liu Bei according to the established plan. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Although it is a crime to false surrender, Lu Su killed him at most, and maybe he could spare him to die for the sake of his younger brother Cui Yan. If Liu Bei believed that he betrayed, his family would definitely be dead. If the news was leaked, he would not have any future in Wu.

But what he didn't expect was that Xin Pi had already set his sights on him. His messenger was captured by the scout as soon as he left the camp. Xin Pi got the evidence, but pretended not to know. Whenever he had time, he would talk to Cui Yu to play chess and chat, or discuss the general trend of the world, or talk about the news related to Cui Yan that he had recently received. Looking at Xin Pi, who was full of confidence, and listening to the good situation of Wu, he learned that his younger brother Cui Yan was like a fish in water under Quan Rou's command, Cui Yu felt very uncomfortable.

Zhang Liao took Lu Xiaohuan and the three hundred elite cavalry to set off. Gao Shun went to the camp to see him off. He told Lu Xiaohuan sternly that the army has its own laws, especially when going out for missions, you must not be as willful as in the camp, and you must obey Wen Yuan's arrangements in everything.

Lu Xiaohuan was not afraid of the sky, nor the earth, but she was afraid of Gao Shun. Seeing Gao Shun so serious, she did not dare to be careless. In the name of Lu Bu, she would swear that she would obey Zhang Liao's arrangements and never do anything randomly.

Gao Shun reminded Zhang Liao a few more words before waved goodbye.

Zhang Liao took Lu Xiaohuan away from the Daying, headed west along the northern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, and headed straight to Yanchi. Dianshiban was originally a business road opened for transportation of salt. It was very close to Yanchi and was easy to walk on the road. Zhang Liao moved quickly and set off at noon and arrived at the west of Yanchi that night. He did not stop, and bypassed Yanchi and went straight to Yishi County. He had a meal at the Chuanshe House outside the county town, replenished some food and water, and then rushed to Anyi.

The newly appointed Zhongshan Kingdom's Danong Wei Ji was collecting salt near the Yanchi. When he learned that a Wu cavalry appeared near the Yishi, his troops were refined, he acted quickly and was very nervous. He immediately sent someone to report to Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to arrange cavalry to encircle and annihilate them. He also sent someone to notify the army outside Anyi City to remind them to strengthen their vigilance to avoid being raided by the cavalry.

When Wei Ji's order was sent, Zhang Liao and Lu Xiaohuan had already rushed all night and appeared outside Anyi City.

"Are you tired?" Zhang Liao turned his head and looked at Lu Xiaohuan. He ran all night and had no time to wash. Lu Xiaohuan's face looked a little haggard, and his hair exposed outside his helmet was a little greasy.

"It's okay, are you going to attack?" Lu Xiaohuan was very excited. In the night before dawn, the camp outside Anyi City was lit with lights and sounds of tricks. It was obvious that he had not woken up from his sleep. It was a good time for the surprise attack.

"Of course. Do you still remember how the general taught him?"

"Remember." When thinking of his father, Lu Xiaohuan's eyes became brighter.

"Remember, follow me later and don't fight. Our goal is to send the news into the city, not to kill many people."

"Know."

"You have a closer look at the layout of this camp. We will enter the camp from the west side later, walk along the moat, send the news into the city, and then turn to the south station and see a high slope there, right? Let's rest there, change horses, and see the enemy's reaction. If the camp is very chaotic, we will go east and attack the central army. If the camp is not chaotic, it means that the other party is prepared, we will go south and fight out."

Lu Xiaohuan heard it very seriously and nodded vigorously from time to time. These are the tactics Lu Bu taught that year. She was carried on her back by Lu Bu and practiced with the army, but it was the first time she officially went into battle. She entered the palace at the age of thirteen and became the emperor's nobleman, and she never had such a chance again.

After explaining the tactics, Zhang Liao arranged several soldiers to protect Lu Xiaohuan, and then ordered an attack.

With a whistle, Zhang Liao rushed out first with a long halberd in his hand.

Lu Xiaohuan took off his bow, took an arrow, and followed closely. Dozens of armored cavalrymen on both sides and rushed out. The remaining armored cavalry spread on both sides, protecting the horses in the middle, following Zhang Liao, and Lu Xiaohuan launched an attack.

The sound of hooves rumbled, more than 300 elite cavalry and nearly a thousand war horses, quickly completed the acceleration and rushed towards the camp. The sound of horse hooves alarmed the scouts, and more than ten black shadows emerged, like frightened deer. Most of them ran towards the camp, and at the same time they shouted an alarm. One of them was probably panicked and rushed towards the cavalry.

Lu Xiaohuan saw it clearly, pulled the bow and shot the arrow quickly. The bow string vibrated, and the feather arrow rushed away. The soldier fell down in response.

"Madam is good at archery!" A cavalryman clearly saw it and praised. Lu Xiaohuan was proud and smiled just now. Zhang Liao shouted: "Don't waste arrows and strength, choose valuable targets to take action!"

Lu Xiaohuan stuck out his tongue, said "Oh", opened his eyes wide and looked forward.
