After pondering for a moment, Fei Zan said to the three of them: "In my opinion, it is better for us to go to Liu Yao from Jiujiang together."

Mao Gan couldn't help but frown and said, "But in this way, we have to give up our copycat, and we will be under someone else's roof when we arrive in Jiujiang. I think we can completely resist Lu Bu's army with the danger of copycats. Why do we need to surrender to Liu Yao?"

Chen Pu said, "The terrain of Anle Mountain in Jinqi's tribe is even more steeper than ours, but within three or five days, it was captured by Lu Bu's army. I heard that there were only a few hundred people killed or injured."

"And our parcels are at most similar to Anle Mountain, and even worse than that. Do you think our parcels can resist Lu Bu's army with just how long?"

"Besides, each of our families has at most more than 10,000 elite soldiers. If it is like now, it will be a mess and can only be defeated by Lu Bu's army. If we go to Jiujiang to join Liu Yao, we will gather all our strengths and clench them into fists. Why should we be afraid of mere Lu Bu?"

After hesitating for a while, Mao Gan said, "But Liu Yao of Jiujiang is an official appointed by the court. If we go to join him, wouldn't we fall into the trap? Will it be merged by Liu Yao?"

Zushan smiled and said, "No, although Liu Yao was the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the court, he did not have real power. Now that Lu Bu is attacking Jiangdong, Liu Yao has become the governor of Yangzhou, and he has died in name only."

"I believe that after Lu Bu attacked Xia Danyang County and Jiujiang County, he would definitely not let Lujiang and Jiujiang County go. Liu Yao would never give up the two counties so easily."

"In this way, Liu Yao and Lu Bu will inevitably become life-and-death enemy. When we go to Jiujiang, Liu Yao will only welcome him. The three of us joined forces, and the total strength has exceeded Liu Yao, and he has no strength to annex us at all."

Mao Gan said hesitantly: "But even if we join forces with Liu Yao, can we beat Lu Bu? If we can't beat Liu Yao, then we might as well be in the counterfeit village now!"

Fei Zhan's face flashed with contempt, and then he laughed: "The forces we united, plus the forces in Liu Yao's hands, are no less than Lu Bu's total strength. Besides, we are the defensive side, and Lu Bu is the attacking side! With the same force, how can the attacking side break through the defensive side?"

After Fei Zhan said this, Mao Gan finally broke his concerns and nodded and said, "It's true that this is the truth, then okay, I agree with your opinion."

Fei Zhan said: "No further ado, Lu Bu has just taken She County and should have a few days off. We must take advantage of this time to move to Jiujiang immediately."

After the discussion was completed, the four of them quickly returned to the village to prepare.

Lu Bu rested in She County for three days, and then received information that Shanyue in Yi County actually fled and collectively fled to Jiujiang County.

As a result, Liu Yao of Jiujiang County has greatly increased his strength. If he wants to take over Jiujiang County, he will inevitably have some troubles.

However, these did not feel very difficult for Lu Bu.

Now only a few counties such as Yi County are left in Danyang County, which were easily taken down by Lu Bu.

At this point, the entire Danyang County was completely under the control of Lu Bu.

At this time, Zhong Yao and Chen Qun had a team to attack Yuzhang County, but had not yet attacked Yuzhang County.

The county magistrate of Yuzhang County was originally Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao was afraid of Lu Bu's great power and Lu Bu's reputation spread all over the world. Therefore, Zhu Hao's original intention was to seek refuge in Lu Bu.

Unfortunately, Zhu Hao was killed by his subordinate Su Rong, who took over Zhu Hao as the governor of Yuzhang County.

And Zuo Rong colluded with Zhang Jie, the leader of Shanyue in Yuzhang, Peng Hu, the leader of Shanyue in Poyang, Dong Si in Linchuan, Peng Ze, Peng Cai, Li Yu, Wang Hai and others.

Now Zuo Rong has colluded with many Shanyue, occupying Poyang and Pengze, and has great strength. For a time, it is difficult for Zhong Yao and Chen Qun to take it down.

After receiving this news, Lu Bu left thousands of elite soldiers in Danyang County and led the remaining team to Yuzhang County.

A few days later, Lu Bu rushed to Nanchang and joined Zhong Yao and Chen Qun's army.

After seeing Lu Bu, Zhong Yao and Chen Qun were very ashamed.

"I pay homage to my lord! I'm so ashamed to wait for a long time in Yuzhang County!"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "The thieves in Yuzhang County have grown stronger, but I have not encountered decent resistance in Danyang County. Can it be the same as before?"

Chen Qun said in shame: "I have heard of it for a long time. The lord easily conquered the mountain of Anle Mountain. The remaining mountain is fleeing with the wind. The lord is so powerful that he is far from reaching the world!"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Okay, don't flatter me anymore. Now let's discuss a plan to defeat the enemy!"

Zhong Yao introduced: "Zhu Rong's total force is about 60,000, and there are about 30,000 troops in Poyang and Pengze. Zu Rong is very cunning and does not fight with us, but occupy the city and strictly guard against death. For a moment, his subordinates can do nothing."

After listening to Zhong Yao's report, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod.

Occupying the city and strictly guarding the deadly defense is the most helpless for the attacking parties and the situation they least want to see.

Facing a city with 30,000 soldiers defending, if you want to win, you will at least invest twice the manpower.

And even if you can win, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Siege is the worst strategy and it is also the strategy that Lu Bu is most reluctant to adopt.

However, judging from the current situation, if you don’t attack the city, there seems to be no other good way to imagine.

After taking the map and observing it, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask: "Does Pengze County rely on the Yangtze River?"

Zhong Yao nodded and immediately said, "Although it is close to the river, it is difficult to get close to the city wall without being noticed by them."

Lu Bu couldn't help but ask, "What if it's night?"

Zhong Yao said: "If it's night, the chance of getting close to the city wall without being discovered will be greatly increased, with at least 80% chance. However, even if you get close, it's useless, because large siege equipment is difficult to transport over."

Lu Bu nodded with a smile and asked confidently: "So, is the defense of Pengze's wall near the Yangtze River definitely not as tight as that in other places?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Yao said: "It should be like this. In principle, in this section of the city wall, they only need to send a few teams of soldiers to pay attention to the river surface, and they do not need many men!"

After hearing the news, Lu Bu couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay! Then let's use this as a breakthrough!"

After hesitating for a while, Zhong Yao said, "But, here is close to the river, how can we transport large-scale siege equipment over?"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Actually, there is no need for large-scale siege equipment. This matter will be handled by Niu Er and Gan Ning."
