Guanghan County, Fuxian County Government.

Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, Jia Long, Zhao Wei, and Ren Qi sat side by side, and none of them took the main seat.

At the moment, these five people are listening to the latest information about Zitong from the soldiers.

"My lord, it has been found out that Zitong has been occupied by Liu Zhang. This time Liu Zhang is carrying more than 10,000 infantry troops."

Zhang Wei stood up first, and quickly asked the soldiers,

"Where's Lei Tie? How about General Lei? How many troops did Liu Zhang lose in capturing Zitong?"

Zhang Wei closed the city gate tightly for more than ten days, and he didn't have the heart to inquire about Zitong's news at all. He hoped that Liu Zhang would not suddenly kill Fu County city every day!

The soldier looked up at Zhang Wei with a very embarrassed expression.

"Say it! Look at me!"

Zhang Wei was furious at the look in the soldier's eyes, and asked angrily again.

"General Zhang, Lei Tie surrendered to Liu Zhang after the general left the city, and Liu Zhang didn't need a single soldier!"

"What did you say! Lei Tie surrendered!"

Zhang Weiteng stood up immediately, and pulled the soldier up.

"Ah! General, spare your life!"

The soldier was so frightened that he tremblingly begged Zhang Wei for mercy. He was just telling the truth, how could he have thought that Zhang Wei would be so furious!

"Impossible, how could Lei Tie surrender!"

Jia Long and the others looked at Zhang Wei with disdain, their eyes full of disdain.

"General Zhang is really good at employing people. Once the front foot is gone, the back foot will be dedicated to the city!"

Zhang Wei was so angry that his teeth were bitten and rattled.

"Second brother, step back!"

Zhang Lu's face was gloomy, and Zhang Wei was still humiliating in front of him after all this!

"Eh!"

Zhang Wei threw the soldiers far away, and left the hall angrily.

"Three eunuchs, I'm really sorry, my brother has a bad temper, I hope you can forgive me."

Zhang Wei can let his temper be ignorant, but Zhang Lu can't, he can only apologize to a few people.

"Prefect Zhang is being polite, it's okay. Let's discuss the matter of marching troops."

Jia Long waved his hand, and didn't pay attention to Zhang Wei at all. In fact, Zhang Wei couldn't get into their eyes at all!

"That's right! Each of us brought 20,000 soldiers and horses. Together, we have 80,000 troops, which is more than eight times that of Liu Zhang! We can't sit here forever, can we?"

Zhao Wei also echoed at the side, now that he has the position of prefect of Bajun, he still wants to rush back to Berkshire as soon as possible. "

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him! Liu Zhang definitely has more than 10,000 people, and the reinforcements behind must have not arrived at this time! We must take advantage of this opportunity to drive him out of Zitong in one go, so that he will no longer have a foothold in Guanghan." land!"

Ren Qi also expressed his own thoughts, in short, one purpose, a quick solution!

Ren Qi's words are quite weighty. Among the four, Ren Qi has the most far-reaching vision and the most resourceful.

After Jia Long passed through the Maxiang Rebellion, he was also particularly convinced of Ren Qi, and immediately expressed his support.

"That's right! Eunuch Ren is right! Our 80,000-strong army consumes a lot every day. I'm afraid Eunuch Zhang can't afford so much food and grass, right?"

Of course Zhang Lu couldn't afford it, even if he could afford it, he didn't want to, so why should he be taken advantage of!

"That's right, Guanghan County doesn't have much grain left. I'm here today to discuss the matter of entering the army!"

Jia Long stood up directly, wanting to set an example for others.

"There's no need to discuss. Tomorrow we will each dispatch 15,000 troops, a total of 60,000 troops, and directly smash Zitong to the ground!"

Naturally, Zhang Lu had no opinion, even if he sent troops today, he would be willing.

"I agree with Prefect Jia's plan, but what do Prefect Ren and Prefect Zhao mean?"

Ren Qi has no objection even more. He proposed the quick solution. How could he have any objection? Now also agreed.

"I agree."

Three out of the four people agreed, and the remaining Zhao Wei had no choice but to stand up as well. "Okay! Send troops tomorrow to drive Liu Zhang out of Zitong!"

If the four of them have a unified opinion, the action will be very smooth. Just as the meeting was about to adjourn, Zhang Lu raised concerns.

"Three prefects, do you know the terrain of Zitong City?"

The three of Jia Long shook their heads at the same time. None of the three of them were from Guanghan County, so they had never been there, and they didn't know the terrain of Zitong.

"I don't know."

Zhang Lu sighed and told everyone about the difficulties of this battle.

"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it's easy to defend but hard to attack! If Liu Zhang can't hold on, we will have great difficulty in attacking the city and the casualties!"

When the three of Jia Long heard that they were going to forcibly attack the city, they immediately became a little unhappy.

They don't know that Zitong is dangerous, but they know that all sieges are not easy, and the casualties are huge!

"Siege of the city is the next best strategy. Maybe even if you fill in all the soldiers and horses, you won't be able to attack!"

Zhang Lu sneered in his heart, and sure enough, when he heard the casualties, he became timid and lost his energy.

Including Zhang Lu, these four people have their own thoughts, and none of them want to injure or kill soldiers under their command, after all, this is their own private property!

I'm afraid that if the casualties are too high to a certain extent, the coalition forces may be dispersed in a hurry!

"We have to find a way to lure Liu Zhang out. As long as he leaves the city for a decisive battle, we will definitely be able to fight!"

Zhang Lu's strategy not only did not get the approval of the three people, but was stared at by the three people for a while.

"Prefect Zhang, who doesn't know the best way to lure Liu Zhang out? The key is how to lure him out? Is Liu Zhang a fool? Will he take 10,000 troops out of the city to fight against 60,000 of us?"

"Hehe, what Jia Taishou said is very true! On the contrary, Liu Zhang is not only not a fool, but also a rare wise man in the world! Liu Zhang uses soldiers like a god. Since the conquest, he has rarely failed!"

Seeing this, if they want to attack Zitong City by force, maybe these three people will not plan to send troops?

Zhang Lu was upset, if he knew the result, he would not talk too much! This is great, something went wrong!

"Three prefects, Liu Zhang has only 10,000 people, even if we storm Zitong City, he will not be able to hold it!"

Zhang Lu had no choice but to say something to appease Jia Long and the others.

It's a pity that the three of Jia Long didn't accept Zhang Lu's words at all!

"Prefect Zhang, didn't you just say that Zitong is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so it's easy to defend but hard to attack?"

Ren Qi glanced at Zhang Lu indifferently, with extreme disdain in his eyes.

"Hehe, the prefect Ren calmed down his anger. There is a saying in the art of war: ten times to encircle him, five times to attack! We have six times the strength of Liu Zhang, so it is no problem to take Zitong."

Zhang Lu had no choice but to explain to a few people while enduring his eyes.

If they insisted not to enter the army, there would be nowhere for Zhang Lu to cry!

"Zhang Taishou's words are a bit far-fetched..."

Obviously, Zhang Lu's art of war cannot convince the three of them.

Seeing that they were about to be deadlocked on the issue of dispatching troops, Zhang Wei went and returned, and walked in from the door.

"You don't have to worry about it, Liu Zhang will definitely come out and fight us."

"Why? How can you be so sure?"

In the eyes of Jia Long and the others, Zhang Wei was just a brave and foolish image, and his words were not convincing.

"It's very simple, Liu Zhang knows that you killed Liu Yan and his wife!"
