Although Cao Zhi was grateful for Lu Kang's help in passing Wendie, he already looked down upon him in his heart. He even classified Lu Kang as a conservative bureaucrat who was just an arrogant man. Unexpectedly, he handled the war in an orderly manner at this time.
.
Lu Kang continued to assign tasks with spitfire. Lu Kang took two steps, stood still and said: "Everyone, although the Jiangxia barbarians have been harassing our Lujiang River in recent years, they have never succeeded. This time the war broke out, the barbarian army
A large force of troops will surely attack, so we must be on tight alert tonight and wait until dawn to understand the enemy's situation before making plans."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his voice and said: "Now that the enemy has begun to appear, the people in the city have become confused. Feng Changshi, you immediately lead people to patrol the city and strictly prohibit the people from walking on the streets. Anyone who takes advantage of the situation to steal or rob is
, those who spread rumors to confuse the morale of our military will be beheaded on the spot, and we must ensure that there is no chaos in the city!"
Feng Changshi quickly raised his hands and said, "Yes, I obey your orders!" He turned around and hurried away with his subordinates.
Lu Kang turned around again and said: "Magistrate Hong, take people to the county warehouse quickly and inform them to send rolling wood, stone, tung oil and lime to the four cities."
Magistrate Hong responded respectfully and took the order. Lu Kang then said to a county pavilion chief: "Chief Chang Pavilion, please transfer some of the jailers from the prison, and then notify the pavilion chiefs of each street to draw the police."
The electors dug horse pits and set up horse-repelling stakes at the gates of the east, west and south cities. Once the war got serious, these electors could go to the city to help in the battle."
Then he turned around and said to Jun Cheng: "Wang Jun Cheng, you sit in charge of the government office and report military information. You are also responsible for arranging three meals a day for the soldiers."
Cao Zhi listened to Lu Kang's arrangement and was convinced. Seeing Lu Kang's command, he couldn't help but be aroused. He hoped that Lu Kang would arrange something for him as soon as possible. He just felt like a barbarian.
Only by fighting vigorously can one be worthy of being a man.
After Lu Kang completed the assignment, he breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and shouted to the back: "Bring me my armor!"
Cao Zhi was shocked. Civil servants like Lu Kang also wore armor. Lu Kang had not been seen wearing armor in Anfeng. He wondered what Lu Kang looked like in armor.
"Captain Cao, I will leave the North Gate to you. While your people are guarding the North Gate, be ready to support the defense fortresses of other gates at any time. I am afraid this year will not be good. These barbarians will come to plunder on New Year's Eve."
, Presumably the heavy snow this winter has frozen many cattle and sheep to death, and they will not leave until they have enough food and supplies." Lu Kang said to Cao Zhi and others, with uncontrollable excitement on his face, which shows that he is looking forward to it.
I have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Cao Zhi thought to himself that it was finally my turn and did not dare to neglect. He immediately took the order and was about to turn around with Li Dian to go back to the north gate. Lu Kang stopped him again and said, "Don't go back yet. Come with me to the south gate to have a look. It will be a good idea."
A look at the madness of the barbarian army.quot;
Since Lu Kang said this, Cao Zhi would not have any objections. The defense of the north gate was not that important anyway. So Cao Zhi asked Li Dian to go back first and bring news of the barbarian army's arrival. He also informed Xia Houyuan and Xu Chu had the troops and horses ready to be ready at any time.
Get into battle.
While he was talking, the servant brought out Lu Kang's outfit. Lu Kang didn't see anyone else, so he took off his official robe and started to change his clothes in the lobby. With the help of the servant, Lu Kang put on his armor neatly, and then put on his clothes.
The civil servant's robe was worn outside, and he reached out and grabbed the broadsword from the servant's hand. The broadsword was too heavy, and Lu Kang staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, Cao Zhi had quick eyes and quick hands and caught him. Lu Kang was now dressed as a civil servant, but when he walked, he was singing, singing, and swaying, but he had to carry a sharp sword (
Later, two servants were hired to carry the sword for him. They looked nondescript, but he didn't care. He shouted to the outside of the hall with dignity: "Let's go! Follow me up the city wall!"
A group of personal guards and their servants who arrived in the yard responded in a noisy manner, and a large group of people rushed out, shouting in front of each other.
As Cao Zhi walked out of the government office, four red lanterns at the door were swaying gently in the wind and snow. At this time, the snow was falling more densely, large snowflakes were flying, and the sky and earth were vast.
Lu Kang led a group of men armed with swords and guns, and strode toward the city. The streets were filled with villagers running around like ants on a hot pot. But there were already sergeants and officers executing Lu Kang's orders and driving them away.
They went home and were strictly prohibited from walking around freely on the streets.
Cao Zhi had calmed down at this time. After seeing Lu Kang's arrangements just now, he thought that no matter whether he was attacking or defending, he must first have a stable rear. If the people in the city were allowed to gather on the streets to spread rumors and disturb the morale of the army, and the gossip would fly all over the sky, fear would arise.
It will spread like a plague, and when the people are in a state of panic, they will no longer be able to appease them.
Moreover, there are only over 10,000 soldiers and generals in the city. If all kinds of preparations are not planned in advance, it may be too late when things happen. I originally wanted to deal with the enemy attacking the city, so I just need to command the generals and soldiers well and fight a good battle.
, now it seems that there are too many things to pay attention to when defending a city, and there are many things that I need to learn.
At the south city gate, nearly thousands of soldiers were looking nervously at the bottom of the city. This gate is facing the gate of the north and south official roads. The east and west gates are built against the mountains and are not suitable for galloping war horses. Even if the barbarian army comes to attack, they will not be able to attack.
It was difficult to mobilize large groups of cavalry to attack the east and west gates, which were relatively safe, so only 2,000 soldiers were stationed on each side, with a Sima riding a horse to patrol back and forth.
Lu Kang's Lujiang County did not have a county captain, so Lu Kang, the prefect, led the troops himself. A long history was set up to be responsible for military and political affairs. In addition, for the first time under the long history, there were two Sima officers to be responsible for specific military command. Among them,
A Sima was Lu Kang's son, Lu Jun, and Lu Kang firmly believed that he had the military power by himself.
Sima Lujun of the South City Gate stood on the top of the city and was looking down at the city. Seeing that the eunuch and his people were coming in person, he quickly ran over and knelt on the ground, clasped his hands in a marching salute and said: "Sima Lujun, the humble Sima of Nancheng, pays homage to the eunuch."
Lu Kang waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, my son, are the barbarians here?"
Lu Jun smiled and said: "Father, the light is not as bright as the city below, so we can't see clearly. But judging from the barbarian's torches, there are at least five thousand people. But father, don't worry, they can't attack as long as I am here."
Cao Zhi couldn't help but secretly nodded. Cao Zhi had been in Wancheng for some time and had naturally come into contact with Lu Jun. In the past, Lu Jun seemed a bit cowardly and didn't talk much. Now it seems that he has inherited the inheritance from a tiger father without a dog son.
His father's composure.
Cao Zhi looked at this Lu Jun carefully. This Lu Sima was very handsome. He was only in his early twenties, about the same age as himself. But at this time, he seemed to have an extremely strong figure and a fierce expression. He seemed to be interested in
The barbarian army didn't care.
Lu Kang noticed that Cao Zhi was shaking his head as he walked and didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked Cao Zhi: "Captain Cao, do you think that the prefect is going to fight this time, but at this time he has closed the city gates tightly and does not dare to go out to fight.
