Chapter 150: Liyang's strategy

Liyang City, located in the south of Jiujiang County, adjacent to the Yangtze River, and across the river from Niuzhu, the border town of Wu. It is an important town on the southern side of Chu. Its status in Jiujiang is second only to Shouchun, and has always been the forefront of Chu's resistance to Wu.

In Liyang City, an inconspicuous house with the gates closed.

There were dozens of people in the private house, all of which were secretly sent by Zhou Kai to sneak into Liyang as an insider. The leader was Lu Feng, the younger generation of Wu.

Lu Feng, from the Lu family in Wujun, is a personal disciple of Zhou Kai, the great governor of Wu. He is known as the leader of the next generation of the Wu military. He is deeply trusted by the King of Wu and Zhou Kai. This time he secretly came to Liyang, which was also recommended by Zhou Kai himself, in order to allow Lu Feng to accumulate more military merits and take over his position in the future.

"General Lu, three hundred brothers, have entered Liyang City in batches, and are lurking everywhere in the city, waiting for General Lu's orders." The person who spoke to Lu Feng was another outstanding leader of the younger generation of Wu, the son of Lu Ao, the deputy governor of Wu State, and this time, he was also sent to gilt.

Lu Feng nodded and said, "General Lu, you will inform all brothers later. During this period, you must clearly find out the key points of Liyang City's city defense, where the grain is stored, and the layout of Liyang City. When the Grand Commander commander heads north, it is time for us to make contributions. However, be careful when entering and leaving, and never be targeted by the Chu army."

"Here!" Lu Su responded.

Although Liyang is an important town, the population is not large because it is located on the border. The sudden appearance of so many faces also attracted the attention of the Liyang County Magistrate. So he informed Liyang's guard general this time, but it did not attract the attention of Liyang's guard general and ended up leaving it alone.

The winter in the Yangtze River area is no better than that in northern Xinjiang. Usually, the snow begins to melt around February and the temperature slowly warms up.

In February of the 13th year of Qianyuan, spring farming in various places was in full swing. Zhou Kai led 100,000 Wu troops across the Yangtze River, and at a speed of lightning speed, he broke through the riverside defense line of Chu and entered the Jiujiang border.

Liyang City also received news that the Wu army went north. The county magistrate and the ward hurriedly ordered the people outside the city to enter the city, and Kuaima sent someone to send Shouchun to ask for support.

Lu Feng and Lu Su in Liyang City also knew that Zhou Kai was coming north, so they began to stay in the door and waited for the Wu army to join forces inside and outside to take over the important Jiujiang town in Liyang.

At the city of Liyang, when the Wu army had just arrived here, they did not set up camps, but lined up in a row, posing as if they were sieging the city.

Zhou Kai looked at the city of Liyang City and said to Lu Ao: "Deputy Governor Lu, send someone to persuade him to surrender."

Although there is an insider in the city, it is not difficult for Zhou Kai to conquer Liyang City 2, but it would be even better if he could go down without a fight.

"Listen to the Chu army in the city, my grand governor is virtuous and cannot bear to fight between the two sides, and the creatures are in trouble. I specially ordered me to persuade you to open the city and surrender. As long as I surrender to my people from Dawu, I will have all the high officials and generous salaries in the future. My grand governor said, I will give you a stick of incense to consider. After one stick of incense, if we refuse to surrender, we will attack." The Wu army sent a side general to the city to persuade us to surrender.

"General, what should I do? The Wu army will attack the city after one stick of incense?" Li Wan, the magistrate of Liyang County, said to the guard general Zhang Ping, with a panic look on his face.

Li Guan is just a child of a small family. It is because Liyang is located on the border and some big family members are unwilling to come, so he was the turn of being the county magistrate. But tens of thousands of years have been able to detect the strangeness of Liyang City during this period. It is already very talented. However, because he came from a small family and had never seen any big scenes, he seemed a little panicked.

"What's the matter? I'm here." Compared to Li Wan's panic, Zhang Ping seemed much calmer. He was the son of Zhang Di, the general of Chu State. In his early years, he followed Longchuan and Zhang Di to fight on the battlefield. He was used to big scenes. He didn't say anything else, just Zhou Kai, Lu Ao, and Zhang Ping followed his father Zhang Di and Longchuan to fight with them many battles.

During the Battle of Central Plains, the Wu Kingdom raided Jiujiang and captured half of Jiujiang's cities. After the Battle of Central Plains, Longchuan led the Chu army to expel the Wu army out of Jiujiang. Zhang Ping was recommended by Longchuan and Zhang Di to guard the important town of Liyang.

However, although Zhang Ping's resume is good, Zhang Ping is not very talented and has mediocre ability. In normal times, it is okay to guard a city, but when he meets famous generals like Zhou Kai and Lu Ao, Zhang Ping is not enough to see it.

Zhang Ping took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said to Li Guan: "You go and appease the people in the city first, and don't make any trouble."

"Okay." Li Wan also knew that she couldn't help Zhang Ping here, so she walked down the city wall.

Soon a stick of incense passed, and Zhou Kai saw that the city's guard had no intention of opening the city to surrender, so he ordered the city to attack.

The offensive and defensive battle at the city is in full swing, while Lu Feng and Lu Su in the city are preparing to attack.

"General Lu, the defenders in the city have rushed to the city gate to guard the city. Now the city is entirely dependent on county magistrate Li Guan and hundreds of county soldiers to maintain order. The news just came back said that there were shouts of killing in the direction of the city gate. It should be the Grand Commander who attacked the city." Lu Su said the situation in the city.

Lu Feng nodded and said seriously: "General Lu, you bring a hundred brothers to get Li Guan's head. I will take the rest of my people to attack the city gate. As long as you open the city gate, Li Yang will be ours."

"Here!"

Soon, Lu Feng sent troops to the city gate. The guard of the city gate was nervously transporting the city guard supplies to the top of the city. Suddenly, Lu Feng was attacked by Lu Feng and suddenly became a mess. Lu Feng quickly rushed to the city gate and opened it.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ping also noticed the strangeness of the city gate and said furiously.

A general came to Zhang Ping with a sad face and knelt down and said, "General, something is wrong. A spy attacked the city gate. Now the city gate has been opened."

"What!" Zhang Ping was shocked and said quickly: "I ordered you to immediately select a team of troops to retreat and close the city gate again."

Zhou Kai and others outside the city also saw the Liyang city gate open and smiled. He knew that Lu Feng and others were successful, so he ordered the entire army to attack.

Lu Feng and others were fearless and more than 100 people, resisted the siege of nearly a thousand Chu troops and guarded the open city gate. Soon, the Wu army outside rushed into the city.

When Zhang Ping, who was on the city, saw that the Wu army entered the city, knew that the situation was going to go, so he walked down the city and withdrew from Liyang City with his remaining troops.

After Zhang Ping left, Liyang City no longer had any resistance, and the Wu army quickly occupied the entire Liyang City.

Zhou Kai, Lu Ao, Lu Feng and others walked on the streets of Liyang, looking at the corpses all over the ground.

Lu Ao asked Lu Feng, "General Lu, where is my son Lu Su?" After entering the city, Lu Ao did not find Lu Su's figure and felt very strange.

Lu Feng replied: "Return to Deputy Governor Lu, the last one will ask General Lu to take the head of Li Yang County Magistrate Li Guan. I guess he will be back soon."

As expected, as soon as Lu Feng finished speaking, Lu Su carried a head and walked towards them with a few people.

Lu Shu came to Zhou Kai, threw the head in his hand to the ground, and bowed: "I have seen the Grand Governor, but the last general has taken the head of Li Yang County Magistrate Li Wan."

"Okay! General Lu did a good job. When he returns to the court with victory, the governor will personally ask for credit for you and Lu Feng." Zhou Kai said with a smile.

"Thank you Governor!" Lu Feng and Lu Su responded.

Several people came to the county government office and Zhou Kai ordered: "Deputy Governor Lu, please let someone clean the city quickly. Zhang Bang Anmin. The governor believed that the Chu army in Shouchun would arrive soon. We should not go north for now. Just wait for them here. As long as this Chu army is defeated, Jiujiang will be our pocket."

"Here!" Lu Ao responded.
