Shouchun, Yuan Mansion Study Room.

Chu Feng looked at the letter in his hand, and immediately threw it out angrily, shouting: "It's just Liu Xun, you don't want to submit, how dare you commit crimes? Do you really think I can't punish him?"

"My lord, Liu Xun is an old official of Yuan Gong. He has great prestige in the Jianghuai area. Now he has arrived north of Hefei. The counties are responding. Don't underestimate him."

Lu Su said quickly.

"Hmph!" Chu Feng said coldly: "Is there any movement from the generals inside and outside the city?"

"Everyone is scared. Some of them have old relationships with Liu Xun. Su is worried that these people will rebel and respond to him." Lu Su said sadly.

"No need to worry, just go and pass the order, gather the infantry and cavalry, and see if I can break it myself, just in time to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger!" Chu Feng said with five fingers angrily clasped.

"No, my lord, you must not!"

"Shuchun Xin'an, it's hard to shake it except for the Lord. You must not leave." Lu Su shouted again.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then said: "I was so angry that Liu Xun was so angry just now. Someone, please tell Zhao Fan to see me."

After the personal guards retreated, Lu Suhu asked, "My lord, do you want General Zhao to lead his troops to attack Liu Xun's base camp and cut off its foundation and turn it into a rootless ping?"

"Exactly, three hundred cavalry are galloping day and night and will arrive within three days. The defenders of Wancheng are in an uproar, so they can be easily captured. What's more, Ziyang is in Wancheng, so we can cooperate inside and outside."

Chu Feng said in a deep voice.

"Defeating the enemy without fighting is the strategy of the superior army. However, General Zhao must not be allowed to ride freely. The cavalry must ride on official roads. Liu Xun has sent troops to invade the border, so he must be on guard."

"What's more, there are many hills and river valleys on the way to Wancheng, and it is very likely that Liu Xun's scout will detect him, so it will be difficult to accomplish anything serious." Lu Su quickly pointed out.

"Then how do you think we should attack it?"

"My lord, if you are approaching the Huaihe River in spring, you can send General Zhao and his troops to disguise themselves as merchants, go up the Huaihe River, turn to the Xianshui River, go straight to the north of Qianshan, go down the mountain, and approach Wancheng."

Lu Su walked over to the map next to him, gestured with his fingers, and spoke loudly and forcefully.

"Haha, if you have Zi Jing here, why worry about the little thief Liu Xun not being able to defeat him." Chu Feng smiled brightly, feeling very pleased.

"My lord, you are ridiculous!" Lu Su smiled humbly: "My lord, you can organize your troops and stay on the defensive. When Liu Xun knows that Wancheng has been breached, he will definitely withdraw his troops in a hurry. It will not be too late to pursue and kill him."

"good!"

At this moment, Zhao Fan came with long and fierce steps, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, what do you want to tell me?"

"Liu Xun came with his army, and the Jianghuai River was shaken. I want to send you to lead my troops, travel lightly and simply, pretending to be a merchant, take a boat into the Xishui River, go to the north of Qianshan and climb down the mountain."

"Go straight to Wancheng, its foundation. I want to hear good news within seven days. Can I do it?" Chu Feng said loudly.

"Lord, don't worry, everything will be broken! If it's not broken, I'll come and see you!" Zhao Fan looked solemn for a moment and said loudly.

"Without further delay, quickly unite the army and set off!"

"No!" Zhao Fan pressed his sword and left. As long as he captured Wancheng in this battle, it would be the first victory.

As for Chu Feng, he went into the camp to inspect, but these old troops were all frightened and talked about Liu Xun's army. No wonder it was difficult for Yuan Shu to defeat them.

How can we defeat this group of soldiers who can flee at any time?

This also strengthened Chu Feng's determination to rectify military discipline and streamline administration. Sometimes having more soldiers is not necessarily useful.

——

In the blink of an eye, five days later.

In more than ten counties in Jiujiang, except for Huaibei, which did not surrender, all other places responded to Liu Xun's entry.

At this time, outside Shouchun City.

A large army pressed into the territory, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Liu Xun immediately stepped forward, looked at Shouchun, sneered and shouted: "You little thief Chu Feng, if you kill Mr. Yuan, we are incompatible with each other and I will destroy you Shouchun."

"If you don't want to endanger the lives of the people, open the city gate quickly and I'll give you a good time, so that you won't wait for me to catch you and kill you..."

call out!

I saw an arrow shot out, whizzing past Liu Xun's ear and hitting the sand. Liu Xun was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell off his horse.

"Damn it, I can shoot it from such a distance!"

Liu Xun was frightened and quickly retreated on his horse, muttering something.

"pity!"

Chu Feng drew back his bow, curled his lips and muttered.

The distance was far away, but if he had been twenty steps closer, an arrow would have pierced his chest and he would have died on the spot.

"Child Chu Feng, you are so ignorant that you suddenly shot me with a cold arrow. Watch me defeat Shouchun and execute you in Lingchi!"

Liu Xun escaped a little further and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Haha, don't you only have the power of words? Do you dare to fight with me and watch me take your head off with a single blow?" Chu Feng said with a smile while holding on to the city wall.

"Humph, the bravery of an ordinary man!" Liu Xun scorned, "General Zhang, General Ji, General Qiao, and Chen Lanleibo are loyal to the two generals. Now that they have been killed, aren't you worried?"

"Why don't you capture this thief with me and repay the lord for knowing him?"

"Noisy!" Chu Feng snorted coldly: "Qiao Rui, lead your army to prevent Liu Xun from attacking the city. Ji Ling, lead your troops to inspect every camp in the city. If there is any abnormal movement, kill them all!"

"No!" Qiao Rui Ji Ling nodded in agreement.

After saying that, Chu Feng was too lazy to listen to Liu Xun's words and turned around to go back to his house.

He has already summoned all the cavalry, with a total of 600 cavalry in the three armies. He can only defeat the enemy once the city of Anhui is broken.

——

At noon,

Lu Su came quickly: "My lord, Liu Xun has set up camp and is said to have ordered people to cut down ancient trees and prepare to build siege equipment."

"It doesn't matter, let him do it!" Chu Feng waved his hand and was currently studying Sun Tzu's Art of War. He used to like reading this when he was writing novels, but now he has new insights after reading it.

"My lord, it's not terrible to build siege equipment. The main thing is that I'm afraid that some aristocratic families in the city are dissatisfied with my lord's behavior and will cooperate with Liu Xun."

Lu Su took a deep breath and sighed,

He has been very busy these days, just focusing on this matter.

"Dissatisfied with my behavior? What did I do?" Chu Feng put down his art of war and looked at Lu Su with some confusion.

"My lord, you, you are nepotistic and alienated from many aristocratic families. In addition, you destroyed Dacheng and caused their interests to be harmed. They have long been resentful."

Lu Su lamented that the aristocratic family always gave people a headache.

It was good that he was strong and could suppress it, but Chu Feng was weak and took control halfway. He was very dissatisfied. He only hoped that Zhang Fan could break through Wancheng quickly and establish his prestige.

"Oh~? Is there such a good thing?"

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a sneer on his lips.

"??Good thing??"

Lu Su was confused for a moment and asked helplessly: "My lord, why did you say this?"

"Zijing, how have you been doing Yingwaihe since ancient times?" Chu Feng asked instead without answering.

"Lord, most people raise fire as a signal to surrender the city." Lu Su explained, but he still didn't understand Chu Feng's intention.

"Which family in the city has more food?"

"The Wang family and the Li family have thousands of acres of fertile land and produce the most grain." Lu Su blurted out, vaguely feeling what Chu Feng was going to do.

"Go, bribe the generals of the Wang family and the Li family, and ask them to hold fire as a signal in Nancheng and Xicheng tonight at three o'clock tonight, and shout the names of the heads of each family to lure the enemy troops into the city.

Remember, you must shout so that everyone can hear you.”

A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Feng's mouth.

"Gudu!" Lu Su swallowed,

"Lord, this...isn't good. Aren't we just framing him by doing this?"

"What kind of frame-up? This is called conclusive evidence. Go ahead and do it beautifully. As for the person you're looking for, don't say it's us."

"Also, remember to keep silent!"
