As Liu Shili's order arrived, troops from all over Bei'an Prefecture were mobilized.
According to Liu Shili's order, troops drawn from various places rushed to Qinggang County as quickly as possible.
Of course, the main force mobilized this time was the 10,000 people Liu Shili brought from Fucheng.
Compared with other prefectures, the density of zombies in these prefectures occupied by the army is lower. After all, the army is often out killing them.
In the past two years, these military leaders have not been idle. In addition to opening some safe areas outside the city, they also built fortifications on the official roads between the cities.
Otherwise, they would not be able to survive just being trapped in the city.
To put it simply, there is a lot of firewood needed for living in the city, which must be obtained from the mountains and forests outside the city. Just demolishing the houses will definitely not work.
It is precisely because of these fortifications and the army's ability to fight zombies that they can march in the wild.
Of course, this only means that the Dusi army has the ability to operate in the wild, but it does not mean that it is absolutely safe.
In fact, with such a large-scale mobilization of the army, Liu Shili rarely played with it after the end of the world. If you are not careful, the entire army may be wiped out.
"Sir, we have reported more than a dozen attacks. In total... more than two hundred brothers have died!"
Upon hearing the complaint, Liu Shili was so angry that his face turned livid.
"What do those scouts do? Let them lure away monsters. Is this how they lure them away?"
Qianhu, who made the report, said: "Sir, there are really too many monsters..."
Of course, that's all he said. Saying too much would only cause trouble for himself.
"I tell them on weekdays that they need to train more and never loose their weapons...are these the soldiers they brought out?"
"When we get to Qinggang County, I'll deal with these bastards again!"
Several close relatives in the surrounding area did not dare to answer the call, which shows Liu Shili's great power.
Although there were stumbling blocks along the way, after a day and a half of trekking, Liu Shili arrived at Qinggang County at noon on the 16th.
In Qinggang County, it can be said that a large army is gathering at this moment.
After Liu Shili moved in, soldiers and horses from other guard posts also rushed to the city.
Including the original garrison of Qinggang County, there will be more than 20,000 troops in the county. It is not an easy task to arrange the people properly.
This troublesome matter fell on the head of Pingshan Guard Commander Zheng Fan, but he was too busy to keep his feet on the ground.
The people who came were all senior officials, many of whom were at the command level. If they were not greeted carefully, they might cause a lot of trouble.
Zheng Fan came out of the granary and was sweating lightly in this cold weather.
But before he could take a breath, he heard someone outside shouting: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is calling you over!"
Looking back, Zheng Fan told the quartermaster: "Remember, our warehouse can only produce eighty shi of grain today. If you want more, you will never leave it!"
"Understood, sir!"
After giving instructions, Zheng Fan cursed and left.
"Damn it, you didn't even bring enough food, but you asked me to bear it... What the hell is this?"
We rushed all the way to the county government hall. Other commanders and Qianhu had already arrived, and Zheng Fan was waiting for him alone.
Seeing Zheng Fan arriving, Liu Shili said to everyone: "Everyone be quiet..."
The dozen or so people in the room quickly fell silent, all looking at Liu Shili who was sitting above him.
"This time I asked you to come to Qinggang County because there is a big thing to do!"
"It's a good day today. The food is open for eating. We must let the brothers eat well. If you let me know... whoever holds the food and doesn't let go, don't blame me for being rude!"
"In addition, each unit can only rest in the arranged place. Soldiers and generals with less than a thousand households are not allowed to walk around the city at will. Anyone who violates this will... be killed!"
Liu Shili's tone was particularly stern at this moment, just like his mood at the moment.
After stopping and giving a lot of instructions, Liu Shili asked the heads of various departments to leave.
Regarding the true purpose of this operation, he will inform everyone tomorrow, and then it will be time to take action.
After giving instructions, Liu Shili immediately asked: "Is there any movement over there at the Forbidden Army?"
Qianhu next to him immediately replied: "I just got the news that most of the main forces of Longzhiwei, Xiaowuwei and Yulinwei have entered Hongxi County!"
Hearing this, Liu Shili immediately felt relieved.
Long Zhiwei is Xu Longsheng's lifeblood. Now that the main force of Long Zhiwei is stationed in Hongxi County, it shows that Xu is really desperate.
Then Liu Shili said: "Send more people to find out their movements!"
"yes!"
Liu Shili added: "Pingshan Mansion should also send more people to keep an eye on it!"
"yes!"
At this moment, a report came from outside.
"Sir, someone is coming from Prince Yong's Mansion!"
"Where?"
"It's just outside the city. No one lets him in without your orders!"
"How many people are here?" Liu Shili asked again.
"Just three people!"
The three people were obviously just here to spread the news, and Liu Shili was afraid that the so-called "teaching team" would come, which would break his reputation in advance.
Liu Shili immediately said: "Bring people in and don't let them talk to other people!"
"yes!"
About ten minutes later, a man wearing full armor was brought into the lobby where Liu Shili was.
"Director Liu, you are so fast!" the visitor said loudly.
"I wonder who you are?"
The visitor replied: "Your Excellency, Yang Qing, from the 1000th Household of the Prince's Military and Horse Department, is here on the orders of the Prince to inquire about your next plans!"
Yang Qing was one of the first people promoted by Zhao Yanxun and the first person to be hailed as a "model in the military". Now he has become a member of the Military and Horse Department.
"It turns out to be Yang Baihu, disrespectful..." Liu Shili said with a smile.
"I am still making preparations for the next arrangements. I will definitely give the prince a charter tomorrow!"
Having said this, Liu Shili suppressed his smile and said, "There is something that I have to ask Yang Baihu to report to the prince!"
"What's up?"
"Our army's scouts found out that when our army was mobilizing, the imperial army was also sending more troops to Hongxi County. I'm afraid they have evil intentions, so we have to be on guard!"
The reason why Liu Shili mentioned this matter was to divert Yong's army's attention as much as possible, so that there would be less pressure when using troops tomorrow.
"Xu Longsheng has always refused to obey the king's orders. In my opinion... it's better for us to kill him first before we kill the monster!"
"If the prince agrees, I am willing to help you!"
In order to divert the Yong army's spearhead, Liu Shili did everything possible.
After a few breaths of silence, Yang Qing replied: "I will report this matter to the prince!"
"So good!"
Next, the two chatted for a while. Yang Qing wanted to ask more questions, but Liu Shili didn't give him a chance, but he didn't ask anything.
In desperation, Yang Qing could only say goodbye and leave. He wanted to feed back the news as soon as possible.
After sending Yang Qing away, Liu Shili suddenly remembered something important and immediately called his close associates to give him instructions.
"Send someone to send a message to Xu Longsheng and tell him to send more people to lure away the monsters outside the city!"
There's going to be a big fight tomorrow. If there are too many zombies outside the city, it's basically impossible to deal with it.
This time when I came here, Xu Longsheng took care of everything.
He had brought all the siege equipment with him, and they had dismantled them into small and large parts in order to conceal them from others. All they needed to do was assemble them directly.
As long as he rushes to the city wall, he can assemble it in half an hour at most, and then he can directly attack the city.
The 20,000-strong army attacked fiercely, and the part of the Yong army left behind in the city could not hold on for long.
