"It can be seen that Lu Jubei wants to separate himself from Chengshan Fort and become a local emperor. Then we will let him get his wish." Wu Nian narrowed his eyes, with a hint of coldness.

"What does this mean?" Long Qie and Cao Ding looked at each other, but they were a little confused. Of course Lu Jubei wanted to separate himself into a mountain fortress.

But we definitely don’t agree. What does it mean to let him get his wish?

"Mr. Cao, you go to Chengshan Fort immediately and tell Lu Jubei that I allow him to control Chengshan Fort, but he must pay a price. Give me ten pigs, twenty sheep, and five thousand catties of grain, otherwise I will attack Chengshan Fort."

"That way, he might let his guard down."

"Tonight, I will personally lead the team and lead a hundred armored soldiers to climb the city wall and catch him by surprise."

"Quickly decide the battle to avoid the loss of troops and horses on both sides."

Wu Nian didn't give in. He raised his head and said with bright eyes.

Long Qi, Cao Ding's eyes lit up, it turned out to be so. This was a plan to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly and paralyze Lu Juzheng.

Although it is a little troublesome, it is still necessary for a quick victory.

"Okay. I'll go right away." Cao Ding nodded heavily, hugged Wu Nian, and immediately got out of the tent, got on his horse, took a few followers with him, and rode towards Chengshan Fort.

After Wu Nian stood up and watched Cao Ding leave, he asked the one hundred armored soldiers who followed him to eat immediately, then sleep, and wait to attack the city at night.

He himself unceremoniously planned to rest in Long Qie's tent.

"General. He is humble and incompetent. He can't even handle this little thing well." After the serious matters were settled, Long Qie blushed and saluted Wu Nian with clasped fists in shame.

"Brother, you don't have to be like this. You don't have elite soldiers under your command, and a clever woman can't make a living without rice. It's none of your business." Wu Nian shook his head, smiled and patted Long Qie on the shoulder, comforting him.

"Hey." Long Qie lamented, shook his head, and then asked depressedly: "How is General Zhang Jin doing there?"

"It went very well. He has entered Tiancheng Fort, repaired the city walls, modified the buildings in the city, and settled the people." Wu Nian glanced at Long Qie, a little unbearable, but still replied.

"Hey." Long Qie made a fist with his right hand and hit his knees hard, becoming more and more depressed.

Without comparison, there is no harm, but with comparison, it is a critical blow.

Damn Lu Jubei, Ma Zheng, actually blocked my way.

Wu Nian shook his head. This could only be luck. If Long Qie went to attack Tiancheng Fort and Zhang attacked the mountain fortress, then it would be Zhang Jin who had a headache.

........

Chengshan Fort.

This time, Cao Ding entered the castle smoothly and came to Baihu Yamen. He directly saw Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng without being left alone for half an hour.

"Why are Mr. Cao here again? I made it very clear last time." Lu Jubei shook his head and said calmly.

Ma Zheng was sitting aside, holding the handle of the knife at his waist with his left hand, and nodded gently.

"Yes. Mr. Lu has made it very clear. Our general also agrees. We are all Han Chinese, so as long as Mr. Lu can obey orders, it will be fine. Our general will ask Long Qie to find another place to station."

"But there is one thing. Now our Beishan Fort is short of food and meat. Our general, please ask Mr. Lu to allocate ten adult pigs, twenty sheep, and five thousand kilograms of food to Long Qie as military supplies."

Cao Ding nodded and bowed to Lu Jubei with a tough attitude.

Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng were stunned for a moment, not expecting Cao Ding to say that. But they soon became happy.

If Wu Nian died in Guangyang Mansion, then they could seize the foundation of Beishan Fort. But now that Wu Nian is back, their purpose is just to occupy the three-thirds of an acre of Chengshan Fort.

If Wu Nian had a seizure and really sent troops to attack Chengshan Fort, although they wouldn't be afraid, it would still be a problem.

If you use ten pigs, twenty sheep, and five thousand kilograms of grain to save money and eliminate disaster, it is really worth it.

"Okay. I'll send someone to prepare these supplies right away. I'll send someone to deliver them to Long Qie tomorrow." Lu Jubei didn't discuss it with Ma Zheng and couldn't wait to agree.

"Okay. I'll go back and resume my life right now." Cao Ding looked businesslike, clasped his fists and turned around to leave.

"Hehehe. I knew that Wu Nian didn't dare to really use the sword or the gun. Our Chengshan Fort is stable. As long as we keep a low profile and let Wu Nian be the enemy of the Mongolian people in the front. When the Chu Kingdom regains Liaodong, we will

Our contribution is indispensable. Mere food and materials are nothing."

Lu Jubei smiled and said happily.

"Sir, what you are saying is that problems that can be solved with food and materials are not problems." Ma Zheng also laughed and nodded.

Wu Nian was nothing more than that. Didn't he tacitly agree that we would segregate ourselves into a mountain fortress?

It was only by guarding the Beishan Fort that he could successfully repel the Mongolians. Anything else is just an exaggeration.

"The matter is settled. Let's have a good meal and a drink to celebrate." Lu Jubei suggested with a smile.

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Ma Zheng was also in high spirits, so naturally he would not refuse and agreed with a smile.

Lu Jubei immediately sent people down to prepare for the banquet. Soon it was noon, and the two of them were in the warm house, warming the stove. Under the service of the maid, they had a good meal and drank, and they became drunk. They each went back to their bedrooms to sleep.

, this sleep, it’s night.

Of course, Lu Jubei did not forget about the food and supplies. He sent people to prepare them and will send them to Long Qie early tomorrow morning.

night.

The wind was very strong, blowing whistlingly.

Such a strong wind has the advantage of covering up the movement of the marching troops.

In the valley, in the military camp.

In the year of Wu, Long Qie, wearing armor and helmet, stood at the entrance of the big tent with his hand on the hilt of his sword. In front of him were more than a hundred elite armored soldiers borrowed from Wei Lu.

On their shoulders, they carried five ladders.

Wu Nian really didn't have anything. He didn't even think about attacking the city, let alone any heavy siege equipment. When encountering this kind of thing, he could only carry an ordinary ladder up.

He didn't know if his strategy was successful. Lu Jubei and Ma Zheng had let down their guard.

Anyway, tonight, this is an arrow on the string that has to be fired.

Chengshan Fort must be captured.

"Brothers, our goal is to drive the Mongolians out of Liaodong. It is too vulgar to talk about money, but when people are alive, they must live. Lu Jubei comes from a scholarly family, and this time he went south, he must have brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry. I

Make the decision. After breaking into Chengshan Fort, everyone will be rewarded."

Wu Nian glanced at the more than a hundred armored soldiers, said something in a deep voice, got on his horse, tightened the reins, and together with Long Qie, led the troops ahead.

More than a hundred armored soldiers carried ladders and followed Wu Nian towards Chengshan Fort.

Their eyes are shining and their morale is high.
