Zhu Jihong's guess was correct. This time things were indeed correct. The troops of Prince Yong's Mansion did move.
According to Zhao Yanxun's order, Fang Sheng, Wang Cheng and Gao Zheng'an were heading towards Hongxi County with the main force of Yong's army.
Behind them, Zheng Fan, the commander of the Pingshan Guards, followed with four thousand soldiers and horses under him.
Walking in front of the team, as the commander of this military operation, Wang Cheng looked solemn at the moment.
He never expected that this time he would be the commander of the army, so Wang Cheng felt deeply responsible.
Although Zhao Yanxun said that the four of them would take turns to control soldiers and train, Wang Cheng did not expect that he would be selected. He originally thought that it was Cui Xing'an.
"Lao Wang, there were frequent transfers in the second half of the night. What do you think they want to do?"
This matter had been discussed in the morning, but because the information returned was unclear, nothing was discussed.
From Zhao Yanxun's point of view, no matter what evil tricks the opponent has, all he needs to do is push the army over. After all, this time there is the cooperation of the Beidi Dusi.
"No matter what they want to do, we have to be careful anyway. When we get to Hongxi County in a while, we have to let the people from Beidi Dusi push forward!"
"I always feel uneasy with them following me!"
Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Fang Sheng couldn't help but laugh.
"Lao Wang, are you still afraid that they will attack us?"
"Have to guard against it!"
Unexpectedly, Fang Sheng said: "Not to mention our three thousand-household offices, I can easily overwhelm them all with just one thousand-household office!"
"What's more, there are so many monsters outside...if he attacks us, he might think he dies too slowly!"
Fang Sheng's words are definitely not bragging, but he is really confident about it.
Hearing Fang Sheng's words, Wang Cheng also smiled. He did not doubt Fang Sheng's judgment.
But this time Wang Cheng was leading the troops, so he had to be extra worried.
At this moment, in Qinggang County, after confirming that the main force of Yong's army had left the city thirty miles away, Liu Shili also issued a military order to his subordinates.
"Conquer Fucheng!"
Upon hearing this order, Bei'an Guard Commander Liu Yuquan was stunned.
He never expected that he would go to Pingshan Mansion instead of attacking Hongxi County, so he personally approached Liu Shili.
"Third uncle, are you going to fight at Pingshan Mansion? Are you confused?"
Liu Yuquan was Liu Shili's nephew and the most capable young man in his Liu family, so he was assigned to be the commander of Bei'an Guard.
"What? Are you scared?" Liu Shili asked coldly.
Liu Yuquan became even more confused, so he asked: "Third Uncle, aren't we on good terms with Prince Yong's Mansion and are about to surrender to them?"
There has been public opinion in this regard in the city recently, so Liu Yuquan said this now.
"Boy, if we don't give it a try, we may be in for a big disaster. Don't forget that our hands are stained with the blood of the clan!"
Liu Yuquan was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since this incident, but he was still vivid in his mind when he thought about it.
Now is not the time to talk nonsense, Liu Shili said in a stern tone: "The main force of Yong's army has gone, time has not waited for us... execute the order!"
Nodding, Liu Yuquan asked again: "If other guards have questions..."
"Then tell them that the people in Prince Yong's Mansion are liars. They don't have enough food at all. They want to defraud us of our food!"
"For this reason, they came up with many conspiracies, but now they have been discovered by me. Now we are acting in self-defense!"
Liu Shili had already thought of his words, which were enough to answer the inquiries of his subordinates.
The reason why he didn't say it in advance was because Liu Shili wanted to test it and his subordinates were following him wholeheartedly.
As a confidant, it is understandable that Liu Yuquan came to ask at this moment.
But the two commanders who came later and one Qianhu were immediately dismissed by Liu Shili and put under house arrest.
Liu Shili was not at ease with using these people who were not firm enough in their stance.
"Sir, what do you mean?" one of the commanders asked.
"It's not interesting. You guys stay here for now. I'm not worried about you leading the troops!"
Liu Shili did not say much about the three people under house arrest.
On this expedition, he will personally lead the team.
In Liu Shili's view, now that the main force of Yong's army in Fucheng has left, and the remaining defenders only have a thousand soldiers, it will be easy to capture them.
But he didn't know that except for Cui Xing'an's cavalry, the Qianba people in Pingshan Mansion at the moment were from Xu Yu and Wang Zong's two second-level hundred households.
The combat effectiveness of this army is not bad at all.
As he rode on the offensive road, Liu Shili was filled with excitement and anxiety.
"Yong Wang Zhao Yanxun... our army is pressing down on the border, and with your thousands of soldiers defending the city, there is only one way to die!" Liu Shili secretly encouraged him.
In his opinion, the Yongwang Mansion all rose up because of Yongwang, and killing Yongwang would cause chaos in Longyou. At that time, he could send his troops south and capture Longyou.
With beautiful longings, Liu Shili and Pingshan Fucheng were getting closer and closer.
The closer we get to Fucheng, the density of zombies on the road becomes larger and larger.
Although the Yong Army was already clearing up the zombies near Pingshan Fucheng, the eradication time was too short after all, so the density of zombies was relatively high.
As the number of zombies increases, even if there are soldiers responsible for diverting the zombies away, many zombies still rush into the team, inevitably causing casualties.
In the two days before the troops were mobilized, almost 700 people were lost on the road, and today hundreds of people have been killed during the march.
"There are still thirty miles, speed up and hurry up as soon as possible!" Liu Shili looked gloomy.
His order was simple, but the soldiers below suffered disaster.
Especially those transporting siege equipment. The burden is already very heavy, but now they have to run faster.
Here Liu Shili led his troops to advance, and the news spread to Pingshan Fucheng.
"I asked him to wait in Qinggang County, but he came here with troops. What do you mean?" Zhao Yanxun looked gloomy.
He had already guessed Liu Shili's wild ambitions, but what he couldn't be sure of was whether there was collusion between the Forbidden Army and Liu Shili.
Whether the Forbidden Army was under pressure and moved its troops south, or whether they and Liu Shili jointly staged a big show... Zhao Yanxun still couldn't tell at this moment.
At this time, you need to think about the worst and prepare for the worst.
"Immediately send someone to send a message to Wang Cheng, asking him to stop his advance immediately and be prepared for the Forbidden Army to attack from both front and rear!"
"yes!"
After he finished giving these instructions, Cui Xing'an said: "Your Majesty, Liu Shili came with eight or nine thousand people, how should we deal with it?"
The best way, of course, is for Cui Xing'an to take the cavalry out of the city and deal with Liu Shili's troops outside the city. Only the cavalry can have an advantage outside the city.
But Cui Xing'an couldn't bring up such a method on his own initiative, otherwise he would have the idea of abandoning his father.
Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Take people out of the city and find a way to deal with them!"
He was really not panicking at the moment. Even if the city could no longer be defended, he could find a break in his own room to break out of the siege.
What's more, Liu Shili's thousands of people may not be able to kill Pingshan Mansion.
His order to Cui Xing'an was to deal with Liu Shili. With the large number of zombies outside Pingshan Mansion, it was actually not too difficult to stop Liu Shili's progress.
Standing on the city tower, looking at the zombies wandering outside the city, Zhao Yanxun said coldly: "I am still too soft-hearted, so I let these people kick my nose in my face..."
"Give you a chance, if you want to die, then go die!"
It just so happened that he wanted to engulf these armies in the North, and he really needed human heads to establish his authority.
The heads of high-ranking officials like Liu Shili and Xu Longsheng will be a great shock to the people below.
