But if he chooses the first method, Xu Linzhi may not be able to escape even if he wants to. After all, there is an obvious way to survive.
If there is a way out, go to the end of death. Not to mention whether those bandits will listen to Xu Linzhi's orders, even if they do, do they think that Liang Hanmin's minions are just for food?
It is impossible that such a flaw would not arouse Liang Hanmin's suspicion.
And he must not let Liang Hanmin have any doubts about his identity. Otherwise, he may be in danger.
He can't afford to lose.
The second method is obviously more reliable.
With all four gates sealed, victory is almost guaranteed. All we have to do is beware of bandits in the city making sneak attacks at night.
Would Commander Xu Du use such tactics?
Lu Liang was not sure, but he knew very well that Xu Linzhi would not let him win easily.
This is a cruel trick...
"good."
Lu Fang nodded, "Then let me talk about the issue of troop allocation."
Yang Mao and others couldn't help but look very surprised again.
Unexpectedly, Lu Fang had already considered how to distribute the troops. Furthermore, the concept of troop allocation was a bit new to them.
Lu Fang didn't pay attention to their looks, and continued: "With a thousand cavalry guarding the north gate, there should be no danger. Even if the bandits in the city come out in full force, it will be difficult to break through from this road. They probably won't.
They would not choose to break out of the encirclement through this road, because going out from this road, they would go deep into the hinterland of Chenzhou, which would be like throwing themselves into a trap. According to common sense, they should choose to break out from the south gate, which is close to Dongguang County
, if they escape to Dongguang County, it will be a disaster. Therefore, it is best for us to deploy heavy troops in the direction of the south gate, with a thousand troops."
"As for the other one thousand troops, they are arranged outside the east and west gates respectively."
"What if they choose the east gate or the west gate to break through?"
Yang Mao was unconsciously entranced and couldn't help but say.
Lu Fang shrugged his eyebrows, "If they break out from these two gates, the heavy troops from the north and south gates can provide timely assistance. And even if the assistance fails, they can cut off their escape route to Dongguang County. There is really nothing to do.
Worrying.”
As he said that, he glanced at Yang Mao.
Yang Mao looked depressed.
Because he felt that the way Lu Fang looked at him now was the same as when he saw a fool on the street.
Lu Liang nodded slightly, "Generals, obey the order!"
"The end is here!"
Yu Bei and others looked at each other and raised their hands.
Lu Liang looked at Yang Mao and said: "General Yang, you personally lead five hundred infantry to guard the west gate!
Then he looked at Xing Song, "General Xing Pian, lead your infantry to guard the east gate!"
Finally, he looked at Han Feihong and said, "General Han, lead the remaining one thousand troops to guard the south gate! If each army encounters an enemy breakthrough, sound the rally drum as a signal."
The south gate was undoubtedly the top priority, and it was also the place where bandits in the city were most likely to break through. He had no reason not to let Han Feihong, whom he trusted, take the lead.
Yang Mao and others were not surprised, and just shouted: "The last general takes orders!"
Lu Liang waved his hand, "Then let's all set up camp!"
Lu Fang added, "Remember to beware of their night attacks."
Then, watching Yang Mao and others leave, he glanced at Lu Liang and said, "Brother, can you say a few words?"
Take Lu Liang to a quiet place.
Lu Liang looked at him deeply, "What do you want to say?"
Lu Fang said directly: "Xu Linzhi and the others are all former generals, so they should know your identity, right? Why are you seeking death?"
Lu Liang said: "General, there are natural ways for generals to die. They... just don't want to die quietly."
"Then why did they have to choose this time?"
Lu Fang said again.
Lu Liang sighed deeply, "It's to help me, to exchange his own life for me for military merit, and also to thank us for letting the red lady go when we were in You County..."
Lu Fang frowned and looked at Lu Liang's profile.
Are Xu Linzhi and his gang the same as the Red Lady?
In this way, Lu Liang's statement is not unreasonable.
But, is it really necessary to give Lu Liang his life in exchange for military merit? Do they still owe the Zhengzhou County Prince's favor?
Suddenly, he thought of something and said in surprise: "Brother, are you planning to rebel in the future?"
He thinks this is the best possibility.
Xu Linzhi and his gang all wanted to overthrow Liang Hanmin. Unless Lu Liang also had the same idea, why should they risk their lives to pave the way for him?
Is it really just to help him regain the glory of Zhengzhou County Prince's Palace?
Even if Lu Liang really reaches the level of a county king in the future, wouldn't he still be Liang Hanmin's minister?
Hearing this, Lu Liang turned his head and looked deeply at Lu Fang.
This look made Lu Fang feel a little nervous. He seemed to be looking forward to it, but at the same time, he couldn't bear it and struggled.
After a while, Lu Liang seemed to have finally made up his mind. He turned his head and looked into the distance, "Do you really want to know?"
Lu Fang said: "With your answer, I can almost guess the answer."
Lu Liang pursed his lips, "Are you afraid?"
"kind of."
Lu Fang said truthfully, "Liang Hanmin has been the emperor for so many years. How can it be so easy to overthrow him?"
"well……"
Lu Liang said: "If that's the case, why do you need to ask?"
As he spoke, he turned back to look at Lu Fang, who was still half a head shorter than him, "Xiao Fang, your changes in the past few months have surprised me. From the slutty young master back then, you have become a man of both civil and military talents in the blink of an eye.
I even feel that you are no longer the same Xiao Fang you were before. At first, I was happy that you had such a change, but sometimes, I hope you are still the same person you were before."
Lu Fang looked at his expression of emotion, and for some reason, his eyes got hot and he whispered: "Why?"
The corner of Lu Liang's mouth raised a very complicated and heavy arc, "If you are still the same as before, I just want to keep you safe. There are some things that I don't want you to bear. As long as you can live freely, I will be worthy of us.
Father. As an older brother, you should be your younger brother’s wing, right?”
"This must be the reason why you always hesitate and refuse to tell me the truth!" Lu Fang said.
"You are my only relative in this world..."
Lu Liang suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Lu Fang's head just like he did when he was a child.
Lu Fang resisted the urge to turn away, letting Lu Liang caress his head, pursed his lips, and suddenly chuckled, "But you are also my only relative in this world!"
"You have to shoulder everything. How unfair is that to you?"
"And when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs be intact? If something happens to you one day, do you think I can continue to live freely?"
"You are my brother, and I am your younger brother. I am afraid of returning home, but you never leave your brothers to fight a tiger. I don't want to hide behind you. You said that we are descendants of the Zhengzhou County Prince's Palace, and you want to restore the glory of the Zhengzhou County Prince's Palace.
I will push you to climb up. Now, if you say you want to rebel, I will be ready to follow you in rebellion."
Having said this, he pushed away Lu Liang's hand and squinted: "And you are not as good as me in terms of literary talent and martial arts, right? Why should you let me hide under your wings?"
"Um?"
Lu Liang was stunned.
"Ha ha!"
Then he laughed loudly, "Okay! What a brother who can fight against tigers without leaving him!"
He hugged Lu Fang suddenly and said, "Xiao Fang... you have really grown up..."
It was obvious that he was very emotionally unstable at the moment.
Lu Fang patted Lu Liang on the back, "Then you should tell me all your secrets, right? Grandpa Xu, I guess he is not an ordinary person, right?"
