Chapter 1257: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole

After the army entered the fort, they really did not violate Minqiu, which made everyone in Fujiabao let out a long sigh of relief. After the five thousand Tang troops entered the fort, they were led by the servants arranged by Fu Yang and settled in several large houses. Then dozens of fort residents were recruited to prepare meals for the five thousand Tang troops.

The front yard of the largest house in the fort has been given to Liu Shang and the others by Fu Yang's father, and all the Fu family's family members have been arranged to move into the backyard.

In the hall, Liu Shang summoned all four generals, and then invited Fort Commander Fu and Fu Yang.

After everyone sat down, Liu Shang stood up first, bowed to the Fu family and his son, and said, "I respect father and son and understand the righteousness of the people. I will report this matter to the king, and ask the king not to refuse the reward!"

"Don't dare!" The Fu family's father and son quickly stood up and returned the greeting;

"Well, now that we are all members of our own family, there is no need to be so polite." Yu Shang smiled at the side;

"Yes, yes, we are all family members. The soldiers have been running around in the field for several days, and today they can finally have a good night's rest. I really have to thank Master Fu for this." Fang Ge also laughed at the side. road;

"This is Fujiabao's honor!" Master Fujiabao quickly leaned forward to answer.

"Okay, let's discuss military affairs next!" Liu Shang interrupted everyone's joking and said: "Master Fu, Mr. Fu, we have just arrived here, please introduce the west side to us in detail. The more detailed the situation is, the better!”

After hearing this, the two people immediately introduced the situation in Dingyang and the surrounding areas in detail to several people. As they had seen along the way, the population and villages and towns of Dingyang were mainly concentrated in Dingyang, Danzhou and Hukou. Most of the remaining indigenous people were concentrated on both sides of the official road to the west of Dingyang. There were only a dozen small villages between the east of Dingyang and Hukou, so they had all been forcibly moved to Shouyang City before the war started.

Among the territories to the west of Dingyang, in addition to Fujiabao, there are Qujiabao, Yaojiabao and Fanjiabao to the west, all of which are about the same size as Fujiabao. The number of people is about three. Between five hundred people. To the east, except for Caojiabao on the other side of the river and Shijiabao four miles west of Dingyang, there are no other larger villages. The rest are basically small villages with a hundred or so people, and most of them are scattered among the high mountains. They rarely have contact with the outside world on weekdays, except for going to the county town from time to time to sell some fur products and prey, and then purchase some daily necessities and food. go back.

As for the situation in the city, they are not very clear. There is no other reason, because in the past few days, tens of thousands of reinforcements have entered Dingyang City from the official road, and they have not paid attention to how many reinforcements there are in Dingyang City. Soldiers and horses, for local snakes like them, whether Dingyang City's surname is Tang or something else has little to do with them.

Seeing that General Liu Shang was disappointed that he could not provide detailed information about Dingyang City, Fu Yang stood up and said: "General, why don't I go to the county town in person after dawn tomorrow to find out more about what's going on in the city?" How's it going?"

"No need." Liu Shang stopped him: "We already know the general situation of the soldiers and horses in Dingyang City. I just want to confirm it from you. The most important thing now is how to cooperate with the army in the east to attack the county town. "

"How about my father taking the lead and contacting the heads of each family, if he wants to contribute to the army's attack on the city, if nothing else, the three or five families can still make the move." Fu Yang asked tentatively;

The reason why I say this is because these large Wubao houses in the west of Dingyang basically have dozens of people or servants. Everyone is from a family that has lived in Dingyang for decades or even one or two hundred years. If it weren't for the fact that a place like Dingyang is so bad,

It is impossible to say that there is already a large family with a thousand members. Now there is an opportunity. If each family can make great contributions, they may be able to leave this place and allow the family to develop better. Fu Yang believes that the heads of each family will consider this matter carefully.

Liu Shang shook his head again and rejected Fu Yang's suggestion: "If you, the strong people, are sent to the battlefield, you will only die. There is no need to pay such unnecessary casualties."

After Liu Shang's words, the Fu family and his son were overjoyed, knowing that they had indeed chosen the wrong person, so they racked their brains even more to think of a way.

At this moment, Yu Xin said: "General, I have some ideas that are not very mature, but they can be used to attract others."

"General Yu, please speak!"

"If we want to cooperate with General Tian's attack, there are only a few aspects. One is to disrupt the enemy troops in the city, and the other is to kill and injure all the enemy troops. We can consider one by one what is the best way to do it."

"Yes!" Fu Yang suddenly clapped his hands and said;

Several people were startled by his sudden voice, and everyone stared at him. Being stared at by several people, Fu Yang also felt a little abrupt, and whispered: "Several generals, as General Yu just said, want to kill as many enemy troops as possible, I was thinking, what if I go to the county to ask for help tomorrow? , saying that a small group of Tang troops are attacking Fujiabao..."

"good!"

"good!"

"good idea!"

Before he finished speaking, several generals present clapped their hands and praised him.

Soon several people discussed the specific strategy. When leaving, Liu Shang specially patted Fu Yang on the shoulder and said, "Master Fu, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to make a great contribution."

No one talked overnight. The next morning, the entire Fujiabao began to prepare. In order to lure Dingyang into the trap, in addition to sending people to the county town for help, there are many things that need to be prepared. The first thing is to transfer all the people in the fort. The Tang army does not need to worry about this. After getting up early in the morning, Old Man Fu gathered all the old, weak, women and scholars in the fort, and then left from the side door of the fort and took everyone to a secret place in the back mountain of the fort to settle down.

In this day and age, who doesn't have two or three secret places, let alone temporarily placing the old and weak, so this problem was quickly solved. As for the young and strong in the fort, they still have to stay. They have to help the Tang army do something.

The second is that the defense in the fort must be strengthened. If there are too many troops coming out of Dingyang City, after discovering that this is a trap, they will either retreat back to the city as soon as possible, or attack the fort fiercely, so the Tang army must be prepared in both directions.

After making these preparations, it was almost noon. After Liu Shang ordered everyone to have a full meal, he began to make the next arrangements. First, the Iron Eagle Sharp Soldiers and the two thousand soldiers of the Yingyang Camp and Baotao Camp left the fort and advanced two miles towards Dingyang, then hid in a valley. The Yuanrong Crossbowmen were left in the fort for defense, and the one thousand soldiers of the Xiongqu Camp were left outside the fort as the siege party, ready to lure the Dingyang army into a trap. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

The task of going into the city for help was handed over to Fu Yang at his strong request, because he said that he had acquaintances in the county government in the county town, and he was the eldest son of the Fu family, so it would be easier for people in the city to believe him if he went to ask for help.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Shang agreed to his request, but for his safety, he specially assigned him two elite Tang army soldiers, disguised as servants to protect him by his side.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
