Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Zhang Mo has been thinking about "one county, two systems" for some time. To put it bluntly, this policy is to weaken Zhang Yan's strength. No matter how she thinks about it, Zhang Yan will never agree to it. The only way is to strangle him and force him to agree.

However, it was completely unrealistic to strangle Zhang Yan's vital point and attack his lair on her own initiative. This time, Bai Bo was in chaos in the south and Lu Bu went to Hanoi again. She expected that Zhang Yan would take advantage of the situation. This was an excellent opportunity, so she made the plan to seize Zhang Yan's home. She consulted her mentor Lu Zhi in advance and only made up her mind to do so after getting his consent.

Zhang Mo concluded, "Of course, plans are just plans, and things can go wrong. No one can guarantee success before the results are in. However, opportunities and risks coexist. What we can do is to seize opportunities while minimizing risks."

What she said seemed reasonable, but Hua Xiong still disagreed. "I still think it's inappropriate. There are too few people left in the city. What if we can't hold it? Well, if that happens, Jinyang will be lost. We still have troops in Yanmen, Xihe, and Shangdang. It won't be difficult to retake it. But if anything happens to you and the young master, Fengxian will die."

Hua Xiong didn't know much about Zhang Mo. The only thing that impressed him was that this woman was so beautiful and Fengxian doted on her so much that he almost treated her like his own life.

However, after hanging out with Xu Huang and Xu Chu for some time, Hua Xiong gradually understood Zhang Mo's past history. He admired her very much but was also a little afraid of her. The reason was simple, because the first time he almost died in his life was caused by this woman.

Back then in Beimang Mountain, if Fengxian had not arrived in time, he would have died at the hands of her Golden Eagle Guard. The woman who could raise such a strong army really scared him a little. He finally understood why Fengxian doted on her so much. It was not just because of her beauty, but more because this woman and Fengxian were of the same type and she was the only woman who could accompany him to conquer the world.

In fact, seriously speaking, this woman was much better than Fengxian in all aspects except her fighting ability. It was said that when she was only twelve years old, she had already led her group of mountain bandits to fight against the Xianbei and almost killed Budugen.

Hua Xiong recalled that when he was twelve years old, he seemed to be playing house with the neighbor's children. This woman was simply not a human being. She was really terrible. Only a man like Fengxian would dare to marry her.

Xu Chu said, "Yingwei is right. If you insist on fighting this way, then leave Jinyang to me, and you take the little bun to hide in the earth building."

Hua Xiong's eyes widened when he heard this. "Can the Tulou be as safe as Jinyang City? If Zhang Yan knew that the Tulou belonged to Madam, I'm afraid the Tulou would be the first to be attacked."

Xu Chu said, "Don't worry, there is a secret passage leading into the mountains. If you are not an insider, it is extremely difficult to find the entrance to the secret passage. It is absolutely safe there."

"In this case, please ask Madam to take the young master to the earth building first, otherwise I will not be able to send troops out with peace of mind." Hua Xiong said.

He still felt that it would be safer for everyone to defend the city together in the city.

Xu Huang also advised, "Let Zhongkang guard Jinyang. You'd better not take any risks."

Unless it was necessary, Zhang Mo certainly didn't want to take risks. However, she could never feel at ease leaving the life and death of a city to Xu Chu alone.

"Let Juxiang take Xiao Baozi to the earth building. I will stay in the city. Don't worry, Jinyang City has high walls and it won't be easy to break through."

To the north of Jinyang City, the Fen River flows through the center, with water gates at the front and back. The overall terrain is generally higher in the northeast and lower in the southwest. To adapt to the terrain, a waterway was dug to the right side of the Fen River outside the city, forming a wide moat around the east side of the city.

After the city was nearly conquered by the Baibo Army a few years ago, the governor of Jinyang ordered an artificial lake to be dug on the left side of the Fen River in the north of the city to hinder the enemy's military advance.

To the west of Jinyang City are Mengshan and Longshan. The two mountains are neither too close nor too far from the city, and the terrain in between is relatively flat and open, which would have been conducive to the deployment of the army. However, there are two hills of moderate size between the mountains and the city, which seriously hindered the military deployment of the attacking army.

The only unobstructed area in the entire city was the south. However, the Fen River ran through the central city in the south, dividing Jinyang into the west city and the east city. Half of the east city was surrounded by the moat that branched off and converged from the east. The only areas that were relatively easy for the enemy to attack were the west half of the city and the west wall near the two mountains.

Zhang Mo never fights a battle without confidence. When she anticipated that Zhang Yan might attack Jinyang, she had already understood the distribution of mountains and rivers in various parts of the city and made corresponding military deployments. In addition, the city defense weapons she had people develop in previous years have been mass-produced, so it is not difficult to defend Jinyang.

Seeing her firm attitude, Xu Huang and Xu Chu knew that they could not persuade her and said no more.

And to be honest, without Amo, Xu Chu still felt a little unsure about defending the city alone. Although he had learned a lot from her over the years, he had also developed a kind of dependence on her and was used to her making decisions on everything. He just had to obey and carry out her orders. If any unexpected events occurred during the process of defending the city, Xu Chu might not be able to cope with it.

Xu Huang and Xu Chu both listened to Zhang Mo's words, so Hua Xiong had no choice but to obey. After leaving Lu's mansion, he hurriedly ordered his troops to harass Zhang Yan's march.

…………

The news of Zhang Yan's expedition to Jinyang soon reached Hanoi, and just two days ago, Gao Shun's troops were stopped by Yang Feng's Baibo Army in Yewang County.

Yuan Shao had promised Yang Feng and others food and supplies and asked them to block the Taihang Pass. Now that Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang's forces had withdrawn from Henei, Gao Shun's troops coming in from Jiguan were equivalent to blocking the Baibo Army in Taihang Pass. Yang Feng immediately became unable to sit still, and joined forces with Sui Gu, Yu Du and other Black Mountain bandits to divide Henei County.

Therefore, not only was Gao Shun held back by Yang Feng in the west, but Yu Du and others in the east were also ready to make a move. If Juyi Village did not want to reveal its identity to help resist Yu Du and others, Henei County could be said to be more dangerous than Jinyang this time.

This was something Zhang Mo had not considered carefully at the beginning. She only thought that after Gao Shun's army entered Henei, they could block Yang Feng and others, but she did not expect that he would become desperate and join forces with Yu Du and others to annex the entire Henei County.

"How about...let Madam's troops fight off Yu Du?" Du Ji said.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. There are no soldiers in Hanoi. At this time, all he can think of is to use the fake bandits in Xiuwu County to deal with the real bandits like Yu Du.

"No!" Lu Bu immediately rejected the proposal.

"The majority of the Juyi Village's troops are in Hanoi. There aren't many soldiers left in the village right now. If their identities are exposed, Anren and the others won't be able to return for a while, and the village will surely be besieged by other Black Mountain bandits. There's a steel mill, a weapons forge, and even samples and blueprints for the three-bow crossbow developed by Amo. We absolutely cannot afford to lose any of them."

After hearing what Lu Bu said, Du Ji and others looked even more serious.

Lü Bu thought for a moment and said, "Let Cao Xing take advantage of the battle between Yang Feng and Zi Yan to attack the Xun clan with all his strength, quickly open up the Taihang Pass, eliminate Bai Bo first, and then clear out the western part of Henei."

"As for the east, I will lead Han Hao's troops to drive Amo's men back to Baixing. You go to each family to recruit some troops to fill the numbers and see if you can divert this disaster to Jizhou and Yanzhou."

A few days ago, Lu Bu received the news from Yanzhou sent by Zhang Mo. Although she didn't know at that time that Yang Feng would contact Yu Du and others to invade Henei, Yanzhou was under siege from both sides at this time, and the situation was worse than Henei. Zhang Mo meant to let Lu Bu pretend to drive Juyi Village out of Henei, and at the same time intimidate Yu Du and others, which would easily lead these people to Yanzhou or Weijun.

Lu Bu asked Du Ji to recruit soldiers to increase the number of troops, not to rely on these people to fight.

To intimidate the enemy army, Lu Bu alone is enough, and these people are just here to help boost morale.
