"Don't drive, don't underestimate the enemy. If Zhang Lu knows that the entire Guanghan County is in a state of emptiness, he may not dare to put all his eggs in one basket!"

It stands to reason that Wang Lei, a newcomer who has just joined Liu Zhang's group, shouldn't speak like this to a senior veteran like Jia Xu.

However, Wang Lei has such a temperament, he naturally has to speak up and advise him when he has an opinion, and he can't just sit back and watch the danger come and do nothing.

"Wang Lei, how can you be so rude!"

Sure enough, Wang Shang, who recommended Wang Lei, was taken aback and quickly got up and scolded him.

At present, Jia Xu has the final say in Guanghan County, so if Wang Lei offended Jia Xu, he would have committed suicide.

Jia Xu didn't get angry at all, and with a smile on her face, she first waved to Wang Shang to signal him not to be nervous.

"Wen Biao, it's okay! Wang Lei also has good intentions."

Wang Shang could only laugh awkwardly, and then scolded Wang Lei again.

"Thank you for not driving!"

Wang Lei is not a fool, he also knew in his heart that he offended Jia Xu, so he immediately bowed his hands and thanked him.

"Thank you, Wang Lei, for not driving!"

Jia Xu nodded with a smile. He is not a narrow-minded person who can't listen to others, so naturally he wouldn't blame Wang Lei.

"It doesn't matter! I know what you said. But Zhang Lu wants to attack Guanghan County, and Mianzhu is a hurdle he can't get around no matter what! Five thousand defenders are definitely more than enough to defend Zhang Lu! Even if Zhang Lu's entire army attacks, I can’t take down Mianzhu in a few months!”

Wang Lei's face was gloomy, and after thinking about it, he still expressed his worries.

"What if the enemy isn't just Zhang Lu?"

"Hehe, can the enemy still kill us from behind?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard lightly, and there was a hint of humor in his words.

Wang Lei didn't have any concrete evidence, he just felt a hint of danger flowing.

"Don't drive, although Wang Lei is a bit disrespectful, but it's really strange recently."

"Oh? What does Wenbiao think is wrong?"

Wang Lei brought it up and Jia Xu didn't care too much, but now that Wang Shang has brought it up, he must pay attention.

"Don't drive, the counties and counties in Guanghan have been a little uneasy recently..."

Wang Shang also has no specific evidence to show that there is a problem, but only relies on his understanding of Guanghan County and his years of experience as an official.

"Hmm... It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the counties."

Jia Xu's face was calm, but his eyes were empty, obviously thinking about how to deal with it.

At this time, a soldier suddenly broke into the door, looking extremely panicked.

"Please don't drive, Zhang Lu has come out of the nest and is heading for Mianzhu!"

"what!"

Wang Shang, Qin Xun, Dong He, and Wang Lei were all dumbfounded and stood up in shock.

"Do you know how many soldiers and horses Zhang Lu brought?"

Jia Xu was calmer than the other four, and was still asking for details.

"Don't tell me, Zhang Lu claims to have an army of 100,000 soldiers!"

Hearing these words from the soldier, Dong He put away his panic, his face was full of disdain.

"A 100,000 army? This Lu is not afraid of blowing the cowhide! This Luo City, men, women, old and young, can have 100,000 people?"

The soldier knelt on the ground without saying a word, looking at Jia Xu, waiting for further instructions.

Jia Xu nodded towards Dong He, but there was still a little frown between her brows.

"Youzai is right. Zhang Lu must be bluffing. We just need to stick to Mianzhu, and he will return without success!"

Now Mianzhu's troops are insufficient, so they can only stick to the danger, and there is nothing else to do.

"Hurry up and order Huang Zhong to set up city defenses as soon as possible, and don't let Zhang Lu succeed!"

"promise!"

The soldiers didn't dare to delay, and went away as ordered.

"Don't drive my lord, do you need to make arrangements in Guanghan County?"

Wang Lei remonstrated with Jia Xu again, and he had already been hit by his words before. Will Guanghan County be hit by him again?

If there are really misconducts in the counties, it will be too late!

"It's okay, there are county soldiers stationed in every county, so there shouldn't be any disturbances. Let's take care of Mianzhu first!"

Jia Xu shook his head and rejected Wang Lei's proposal again.

Now there are only 5,000 soldiers in Mianzhu, and only these 5,000 soldiers can move in the entire Guanghan County. How can Jia Xu move?

"But…"

Wang Lei still wanted to speak up, but Wang Shang grabbed his arm tightly and gave him winks again and again.

Jia Xu wanted to arrange city defense, and Wang Shang and the others all resigned.

"Wang Changshi, why don't you let me continue? Don't you also find the situation in the counties of Guanghan strange? If you don't make arrangements early, if there is a real situation, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?"

After Wang Lei went out, he immediately grabbed Wang Shang with a suspicious look on his face.

"Hey! You understand things, don't be so smart, how can you not understand? But right now there are not enough soldiers and horses, we can only stop quietly."

Wang Lei couldn't help sighing when he thought of Liu Zhang's decision to invade Bajun with the whole army.

"Hey! Why is my lord so obsessed with Berkshire?"

Wang Shang patted Wang Lei on the shoulder and continued to pull him out.

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. Let's not talk about whether Zhang Lu has a 100,000 army. Even if there is, there is nothing to do with Mianzhu! As long as Mianzhu is not lost, Guanghan County will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

"I hope so..."

Wang Lei has concerns, but has no good plan, and now he can only hope that he will be safe and sound.

Five days later, Zhang Lu's army finally ushered in Mianzhu City.

Jia Xu and Huang Zhong stood on the city gate, looking at the endless dragon, their expressions became serious.

"Military Master, it seems that Zhang Lu has come out in full force..."

Jia Xu squinted his eyes and kept looking at Zhang Lu's army formation.

"It is estimated that there are at least 50,000 to 60,000 people. How about it? How long can we hold on?"

Huang Zhong looked down the city, then glanced at the soldiers under his command, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Military commander, don't worry, Mianzhu will be safe within 30 days!"

Seeing the mountains of defense materials piled up above the city gate, Jia Xu felt much more at ease.

The 30 days was estimated by Huang Zhong based on the worst-case scenario. Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem sticking to it for two months.

"Alright, leave everything to General Huang!"

"Military commander, don't worry!"

Just when Jia Xu was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone shouting from the city.

"Who is the guard in the city? Come and answer quickly!"

Jia Xu stopped and looked down the city.

"I'm Yizhou don't drive Jia Xu, who are you?"

"This mansion is Zhang Lu, the prefect of Guanghan! Now that the army is shutting down the gate, don't rush to sacrifice the city gate! If you dare to hesitate, you will break the city in an instant, and your life will be lost!"

Zhang Lu rode his horse and stood with a very arrogant attitude. The countless troops behind him were his arrogant capital.

"Hehe, don't use your tongue, if you have the guts, just attack!"

It turned out that Zhang Lu was here to persuade Jia Xu to surrender, which also made Jia Xu lose interest and was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, Zhang Lu's shout came from the city.

"Jia Xu, I know that Mianzhu's garrison is insufficient, and I also know that Guanghan County is very empty! Why are you so stubborn? Why don't you surrender to me, I will still use you!"

"Hahaha!"

Jia Xu looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, his eyes were full of disdain.

"Zhang Lu, don't waste your energy, even if there are only a thousand people in Mianzhu, can you attack them!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Lu also laughed excitedly.

"Jia Xu, I know that Mianzhu is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but what if you are attacked on both sides?"

"Also, don't think that I didn't know Liu Zhang attacked Berkshire, he can't protect himself now! Hahahahaha!"

Jia Xu snorted coldly and ignored Zhang Lu.

Such threatening words could not reach Jia Xu's ears at all!

"Report...!"

At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran into the city and knelt down in front of Jia Xu in a panic.

"Don't drive, something is wrong, there are more than ten thousand soldiers coming from the direction of Luocheng!"

"what!"

Jia Xu's pupils shrank, she didn't expect that something really happened in Guanghan County!
