Chapter 256 Alliance

Before Lu Fang came in, the two tried to calm down and pretend to be calm. Not to mention that Lu Fang must have something to discuss when he came here, even if there was nothing wrong, he would not want this person to look down on him.

When Lu Fang had just arrived in the account, he didn't politely and asked straight to the point: "Do you two know? Guangling has sent an envoy to order the two states of Xuanzhou and Huzhou to withdraw their troops?"

Xu and Xu looked at each other, Xu Zaisi nodded and said, "Just just now, Tian Xuanzhou sent someone to tell us that Yang Xingmi had already married Qian Miao and that Xuanzhou was about to withdraw troops. I asked us what we planned?"

"Mr. Lu came this time, but asked the two of them to stay and continue to besiege Hangzhou with Huzhou soldiers to destroy Qian Miao together." Lu Fang was abnormal at this time and did not go around the corner. He bargained, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he showed all his trump cards.

Hearing Lu Fang say this, Xu Zaisi couldn't help but frown: "Envoy Lu is on the right side of Tian Xuanzhou. A letter from Huainan has arrived. Duke Tian is the commander of the imperial court and has to lead his troops to retreat. Could it be that you dare to disobey the military order? Besides, among the three ministries of Xuanzhou, Huzhou and Wuyongdu, the Xuanzhou army is the strongest. If he withdraws his troops first, how can you capture Hangzhou City?"

Since Lu Fang came into the tent, Xu Wan sat there like an old monk entering a meditation. She didn't say a word, and looked like Xu Zaisi was following the horse's head. At this moment, she suddenly looked up and said, "Eunuch Lu, how do you want us to help you? If you conquer Hangzhou, how do you repay us?"

Xu Wan said something very suddenly, and Xu Zaisi on the side had no time to stop him. Lu Fang looked at the scar man in front of him in surprise. These two sentences were at a critical moment. If he had not prepared before he came, he just asked for help from the other party, or had not thought about the conditions in advance, the other party would definitely not stay and take this big risk with him. If he had thought it through clearly, he could bargain with him and gain the greatest benefit. Unexpectedly, this guy who had been silent all the time would not have been left to do so.

He is a powerful character. Thinking of this, Lu Fang smiled and replied, "General Xu asked well. Lu only needs the soldiers of Wu Yong to block the reinforcements from Suzhou and restrain the forces of the Hangzhou defenders you face. You don't need your full strength to attack the city. As for the reward, after breaking Hangzhou City, Lu Fang will not take any land in the eastern provinces of Zhejiang. Yuezhou, Wuzhou, Quzhou, Chuzhou, Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Mingzhou are all owned by the two. And if the two need it, Lu should help with food and fodder."

Hearing Lu Fang's answer, Xu Zaisi showed a funny expression on his face. He was about to refuse, but was stopped by Xu Wan on the side. Then he asked: "It's okay to resist the reinforcements from Suzhou and restrain the defenders. But there must be a deadline. It's impossible for Huzhou soldiers to stop them in Hangzhou City for a day. Let's spend a day under this Hangzhou City."

"General Xu is saying it." Lu Fang nodded, stretched out his right hand to Xu, and Xu and compared it in front of him, then turned over and compared it, saying, "If you can't take this Hangzhou city within ten days, please go to Tian Xuanzhou."

"Okay." Xu Wan nodded: "A gentleman's words, a quick horse and a whip. The 4,000 soldiers of the martial spirit will wait for General Lu for ten days." After that, Xu and Lu clapped their high fives as a vow. Lu Fang did not delay and turned around and left the tent.

As soon as Lu Fang walked away, Xu Zaisi complained quickly: "This Lu Fang is clearly playing tricks on us. Listen to his conditions, we defend the rear for him and let him attack Hangzhou. As a result, after the capture, he gave us all the seven states in eastern Zhejiang with one stroke. But he is not the official in Chang'an City. Moreover, even the official's orders are not available these days. Those prefectures are guarded by two foreign soldiers from Zhejiang, and we have to shoot them with one sword and one shot. Why do you agree to him with such an agreement?"

Xu Wan smiled and said, "What conditions do you think Lu Fang has to take to be sincere? Wealth, armor stick, or this Hangzhou City? After we took Luocheng, the armor stick we obtained was less than 200,000. The essence of the two Zhejiangs is in our hands. It would be useless if Lu Fang takes any money. He worked hard to capture the Hangzhou City. If he promised us, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Don't say he wouldn't agree, even if he agreed, I wouldn't believe it. And Dong Chang, the seven provinces in eastern Zhejiang.

After the rebellion, the city walls were severely damaged, and most of them had no time to repair them. Most of the elite troops of Zhenhai were already in Hangzhou, and the navy was already scared by Lu Fang. If he could break the city, then eastern Zhejiang would be empty. After all, many of the defenders in this city were still your and my old colleagues. When the city was broken, as long as we recruited some of the surrendered troops and captured three or four states, it would be a big problem. You and I would have to wait for ten days to exchange for such an opportunity to dominate Zhejiang. Why don’t you agree to him?"

Xu Zaisi nodded, but was still a little worried and asked, "This is Lu Fang famously cunning and wise. You are not afraid that after he succeeds, we will not let us cross the river and take over the two Zhejiangs by ourselves. After all, you can see the power of his naval army. If he blocks the river surface with a navy, we will have no choice."

"That won't be. In fact, it will be beneficial for him to let Wu Yong go to East Zhejiang. If he conquered Hangzhou, Yang Xingmi would definitely use the money he had in Guangling to make a fuss. At that time, the two Suzhou and Chang states were unowned. Yang Xingmi would definitely send a large army to cross the river and seize the two Suzhou and Chang states, or blame Lu Fang for not respecting military orders, or borrowing troops from Huainan to revenge. At that time, Lu Fang had no energy to deal with Zhejiang. He would definitely hope that Wu Yong would go to East Zhejiang quickly and eliminate the remnants of the Zhenhai Army that was hostile to him, so that he could not concentrate on dealing with Yang Xingmi. I think Lu Fang must have considered these and promised us all the seven prefectures in East Zhejiang in one breath. Of course, if he slowed down in the north, we could not control the situation in East Zhejiang. At that time, he would not care about "friendship" and he might do anything."

Hearing this, Xu Zaisi sighed and said, "I don't know if this person has any means to take advantage of the world's tyranny. If he does this, wouldn't he know that if he can't conquer Hangzhou, he will immediately become the mortal enemy in the eyes of Yang Xingmi and Qian Miao. Even though the southeast was large at that time, there was no place for him to live."

"Brother Xu said it well, but this guy Lu Fang must have lived a bad life under Yang Xingmi's men. Just looking at him repeatedly making military achievements, he gave him the position of the short-selling governor of Huzhou. This shows that if he doesn't fight hard today and open up the situation, he will be afraid that he will be tortured to death by Yang Xingmi's endless means. To put it in a little similar to your and my previous situation. We are forced to rebel, so Xu wants to see what kind of end this person will end up." At the end, Xu Wan's expression was complicated and his words were quite sad.

Lu Fang returned to the army's tent and immediately ordered the generals Fan Nissen, Chen Wu and Wang Foer to invite him. Now the number of troops under his command has reached more than 7,000. In ancient wars, it was very difficult to command such a large number of troops even with relatively few influencing factors. Which army is the main attack, which covers, which one rests, which one serves as a reserve team, how to launch ranks, and when to enter the reserve team will affect the outcome of the war. Since the communication and observation methods of ancient wars are all

Very backward, the battlefield fog and delay are much greater than modern warfare. For example, in ancient times, two armies fought a war like two people with thick veil on their faces and very slow movements, twisting into a ball, holding short swords in their hands and stabbing each other. First of all, you can't see the specific movements of the other party at all. Even if you see clearly, it may be too late to react to your countermeasures. Therefore, many decisions made by many famous generals on the battlefield in ancient wars were often based on intuition, and some even personally led their personal soldiers to the other party's key points.

The charge was because the opportunity was fleeting. If the order was given to other troops, it would be too late. The ancient Roman dictator Sula once said that his greatest achievements were often not the result of careful consideration, but were often made inadvertently, so he claimed to be a lucky person. Although Lu Fang had fought many wars since time traveling, his battlefield experience was already very rich, and his character was still good now. However, if he had to compare his character with those great figures who had left their names in history, he really had no confidence. He wanted to say that Qian Po in Hangzhou was born.

Lu Fang refused to believe it when he was covered with red clouds and protected by the gods. However, if he and the other party wanted to come to Russian roulette to compare their character, Lu Fang did not think he could win. So Lu Fang let Fan Nie monk return to his old career and command the artillery team on the earthen mountain; Wang Foer commanded the excavation of the tunnel, Chen Wu was the governor of the city, and specifically commanded the Yi Cong soldiers, and Niu Zhijie, Luo Renqiong, and Xu Er's three wing soldiers. The remaining two wing soldiers were controlled by Lu Fang himself. After all, Wu Yong and Huzhou may have problems, so he must leave one hand to deal with the worst situation.

In Hangzhou City, in the palace of the King of Yue, Qian Miaozheng looked carefully with a silk book and coughed twice from time to time. After vomiting blood on the top of the city that day, after the doctor checked the pulse, he was diagnosed with excessive fatigue and stimulation. He was not seriously injured. He would have to take care of himself for a few days. But at this time, how could he have a good rest? These days, patrolling the city day and night, a fierce man with a fierce dragon and tiger was exhausted and thin, his cheeks were sunken, making his cheekbones even more prominent, but his eyes were still shining, which was very attractive.

"Luo Zhanshu, the Tian Wei book says that it takes 800,000 jin of military rewards to retreat. If I don't give it, I will demolish all the tide protection embankments outside Hangzhou City. What do you think you should do?" After reading the letter, Qian Miao handed the letter to Luo Yin beside him.

Luo Yin read the letter and smiled and said, "A few days ago, Gu Shuai sent an envoy from Guangling and said that the matter of seeking success with Huainan has been completed. I guess Yang Xingmi used some means to force Tian Wei to withdraw his troops. He said so. As for the demolition of the tide protection embankment, it must be a false statement to deceive me. Not to mention that it was the rising tide at this time. If the tide breaks through the embankment and the enemy troops besieged in the low-lying land, the first thing he suffered was himself. Tian Wei has always claimed to be a loyal elder. If he used such means, he would definitely be discredited. I am afraid that Yang Xingmi would not spare him."

Qian Miao nodded, with a smile on his face: "Mr. I'm right, but I'd better have 200,000 yuan from him, so that he won't get it at all. He is so angry that he will do something, as long as Wu and Yue stop the troops..."
