(On the last day of this month, friends who have votes can vote!)
In the lobby of the Wuding government office, Xu Longsheng was listening to the scouts' report.
Zhu Jihong, the commander of Xiaowu Zuowei, and several other close associates Qian Hu, were sitting in the hall at this moment.
The scout described the situation of Yong Jun's review, which made several powerful officials present frown.
After waving the scout to retreat, Xu Longsheng said: "King Yong is here in person... I'm afraid they are going to take action!"
After a few breaths of silence, Zhu Jihong asked: "You mean... they are going to take the initiative to attack us?"
Xu Longsheng nodded and replied: "That's right!"
The atmosphere in the hall is extremely solemn, and the Forbidden Army is now in trouble both internally and externally.
Food is already stretched thin, and even if the supply is as it is now, it can only last for three months at most, and this is precisely the most critical thing.
Precisely because they were in shortest supply of food, the Forbidden Army searched everywhere, and finally found "Hope" in Longyou, and then encouraged the northern governors to go south together.
But who knew that Prince Yong's Mansion was an iron plate. Not only did they fail to obtain food, but they also lost three soldiers and horses.
Now trapped in Wuding Prefecture, they are basically unable to organize an attack.
After a few breaths of silence, Zhu Jihong said: "Old Xu... we can't sit still and wait for death!"
Xu Longsheng asked: "What are your countermeasures?"
"To put it bluntly, the most important thing right now is to get food to stabilize the morale of the army!"
"You mean to grab the Yongjun Pier on the bank of the river?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jihong said helplessly: "It's easier said than done!"
"Where else can we get food?" Xu Longsheng was puzzled.
He was extremely anxious at the moment, but on the surface he was still very calm.
These days, he has nightmares every night, either being cooked and eaten by his subordinates, or being quartered by five horses of Yong's army.
Zhu Jihong reminded: "Beidi Dusi has food, and it is very close to Hongxi County!"
"Beidi Dusi?" After thinking for a while, Xu Longsheng said: "They have many soldiers and horses. It will not be easy to defeat them!"
"Once we cannot attack for a long time and are cut off by Yong's army, our army will be completely wiped out!"
Xu Longsheng told the truth, but Zhu Jihong said: "No matter how difficult they are to fight... I'm afraid they will be easier to deal with than Prince Yong's Mansion!"
Xu Longsheng couldn't help but be stunned. If he thought about it carefully, this was really the truth.
I have to pick the persimmons soft and pinch them, but now I am so anxious that I can no longer think about any long-term plans.
At this moment, someone came outside their meeting hall.
The visitor reported: "I want to see Commander Xu!"
"The commander is discussing matters!"
The visitor said again: "I am the messenger of King Qianhu of Bei'an Prefecture. I have something important to report to Mr. Xu. Please let me know, brother!"
There is only one Wang Qianhu in Bei'an Prefecture, Wang Chengan, and the guards on duty know his importance very well.
But I heard the guard ask: "Which gate did you enter the city through?"
Although he had no clue about this question, in order to save time, the messenger immediately answered: "We entered the city from the west gate. What's wrong?"
The guard replied: "It's nothing, there seems to be a commotion in the east city, I just want to ask about the situation!"
"Wait a moment, I'll report it to the adults inside!"
The messenger could only stay outside the gate and waited for almost a minute before the guard who reported the situation came out and let him in.
Passing all the way to the hall, the messenger saluted several senior officials present.
Xu Longsheng asked: "Wang Cheng'an sent you back, but what's the important matter?"
"Replying to your lord, Wang Qianhu asked the villain to deliver the letter back!"
After saying this, the messenger took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Longsheng.
After receiving the letter and checking that it had not been opened, Xu Longsheng opened it.
Although the content of the letter was brief, the news conveyed surprised Xu Longsheng.
Seeing Xu Longsheng's strange expression, Zhu Jihong couldn't help but ask: "Old Xu...what big thing happened in Bei'an Mansion?"
Handing the letter to Zhu Jihong, Xu Longsheng said: "The Northern Capital Secretary wants to join forces with us to resist Yongwang's Mansion!"
Then a thousand households asked: "Have they not made peace with Prince Yong's Mansion? Are they still accepting food from others?"
Xu Longsheng replied: "Wang Cheng'an said that Liu Shili was afraid of the power of Prince Yong's palace, so he gave up on him!"
"Now that the army of Prince Yong's Mansion is approaching, they are also afraid of a surprise attack by Yong's army, so they are willing to join forces with our army!"
Another Qianhu said: "Sir, I'm afraid there's some fraud involved!"
No wonder they were worried. After fighting Beididuji for nearly two years, both sides could say that they had exhausted all their tricks.
Xu Longsheng did not comment, but looked at Zhu Jihong and said: "Old Zhu, what do you think?"
After taking a look at the messenger who was still in the hall, Zhu Jihong motioned for the person to go out.
What he will talk about next will be the highly confidential secrets of the Forbidden Army.
After the person left, Zhu Jihong said: "Whether it's true or false, it's always okay to talk. Anyway, we won't suffer!"
Xu Longsheng said: "Didn't you just say that we want to deal with them? Are you talking to them now...to stabilize them?"
Zhu Jihong replied: "Stabilizing them is one layer, but there is another layer of meaning!"
Xu Longsheng said with curiosity: "Tell me about it!"
"If they really want to attack Yong's army, we may be able to move the tiger away from the mountain, and then... take Bei'an Mansion in one fell swoop!"
Hearing Zhu Jihong's words, Xu Longsheng couldn't help but sigh, the veteran still has something in his belly.
"If the deal is really successful, let them attack Yong's army, and let's attack Bei'an directly... Haha, this is really a quick move!" Thinking of this, Xu Longsheng smiled. He had not smiled for a long time.
Zhu Jihong continued: "The food in Bei'an Prefecture is enough for the Beidi Dusi to eat until July and August. We have enough people to last until next year. Only then can we make long-term plans!"
At first, when Zhu Jihong said that he would attack Bei'an Prefecture, Xu Longsheng thought it would be very difficult.
But if we really follow this strategy, the difficulty of taking Bei'an Prefecture will be greatly reduced, and it will be very feasible.
Although there are many variables, as Zhu Jihong said, attacking Bei'an Prefecture is at least easier than attacking Yong's army.
Of course, this is essentially taking a risk, and it is a helpless move when one is forced to have no choice.
"Then let's do this, talk to Liu Shili first!"
Just after saying this, Qianhu said: "Sir...why is there such a commotion in the east?"
Everyone listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a lot of movement in the east, and faint shouts of killing could be heard.
"Send someone to see what's going on?"
After giving this order, Xu Longsheng called the messenger in, and after giving instructions to the messenger, he sent him back to Bei'an Mansion.
Having made plans for future development, Xu Longsheng was in a good mood when he heard shouts from outside.
"Sir... it's not good, the Yulin Guards have turned against you!"
The people of the Yulin Guards rebelled? Let everyone in the hall be shocked again.
Xu Longsheng quickly stood up and hurried out of the hall, followed by several other people in the hall.
But he saw a Qianhu coming forward. Before Xu Longsheng could ask, he said, "Sir... this afternoon someone from the Yulin Guards spread rumors and picked up the Hundreds to arrest people, but these people rebelled!"
Xu Longsheng immediately asked: "Those people spread rumors? How many people rebelled?"
"The people of the Yulin Guard have rebelled. They robbed the grain depot in the east city and are now heading towards the north city. Our brothers are blocking them!"
Ninety percent of the food and grass in the city was hoarded in the North City, where the Long Zhiwei led by Xu Longsheng was stationed. In order to grab the food, the Yulin Guards came to the North City.
The Yulin Guards have three thousand heavy infantry. If they really attack Beicheng with all their strength, Long Zhiwei will probably suffer heavy losses even if they can defend it.
Xu Longsheng never expected that the situation would suddenly collapse.
Zhu Jihong reminded: "Old Xu, we must control the situation as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Xu Longsheng did not hesitate and immediately gave the order: "Immediately send an order to all departments in the city to stop the Yulin Guards!"
