Chapter 1153 Fighting the Lu Family

When Zhang Shun and others were vigorously planning the "one wave" strategy, Chen Changbing, the Zhenxi general who was at the center of the vortex, still knew nothing about it.

He didn't know that he now had a heavy burden, which was related to the success or failure of the rebel army's overall strategy.

Now there is only one goal, to defeat Chieftain Lu as soon as possible and stabilize the situation in Gansu.

Gansu Town is not the only chieftain of the Lu family, let alone a soldier of the Lu family.

In fact, in addition to the Lu family, there are [-] large and small chieftains near Xining, and there are also [-] to [-] officers and soldiers in Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou.

If the Lu family cannot be quelled in time, once a demonstration effect is formed, other chieftains, officers and soldiers will follow suit and resist, and the situation in Gansu Town may be seriously damaged.

So when he heard that Wei Congyi had encountered Lu's soldiers and horses in Hongchengzi, his first reaction was to use the opportunity to wipe out the main force of Lu's chieftain.

It's just that when he just thought of this, he was shocked again.

It turns out that the strategic location of Lanzhou City is very important and must not be lost.

However, Fei Yizai, the general in charge of the city, was from an avant-garde army in Xi'an. If there was a slight change, not only his own wealth and life would be in danger, but the whole of Gansu might not be owned by the rebels.

After pondering for a long time, finally Chen Changzhu couldn't help calling Ren Jirong first: "The military situation is urgent. I want to fight against the Lu family, but I am afraid that Lanzhou will be unstable. What can I do?"

Although this Ren Jirong has grown a little taller in the past two years, he is still a child after all, so how can he hide it in his mind?
He couldn't help laughing: "Since that's the case, a certain person is willing to lead his 'Baby Camp' to win over the Lu clan."

"Nonsense, with the five hundred people in your hands, what can you do?" Chen Changzhu couldn't help scolding after hearing the words.

"I plan to do this myself. I originally wanted to entrust Lanzhou City to you. I never thought that you are still a child. How can you take care of this matter?"

"I can take it, I can take it!" Ren Jirong became anxious when he heard this.

Now his elder brother Ren Guangrong has served as the commander-in-chief of the first battalion under the command of Zhennan General Xiao Qinhu, and many other people who followed King Shun have also been promoted.

Only because of his young age, although he has been rewarded for his meritorious service, there are only five hundred young men in the "Baby Camp" under his command.

Since he didn't have a share in the war this time, at least asking for an errand to defend the city is considered a worthless contribution.

"Since I asked you to come, I am naturally preparing to entrust you with a heavy responsibility!" Chen Changzhu cleared his throat and couldn't help laughing.

"It's just that you are young, so you must not be coaxed by others."

"After I leave, I will arrange soldiers to patrol the city every day. You must also be careful in the city, and you must know the truth of 'it is hard to guard against a house thief'."

"Well, I got it!" Ren Jirong didn't understand what Chen Changzhu meant when he heard the words.

In fact, there are quite a lot of demoted officials in Lanzhou City, and all of them are scheming, for fear that they will be tricked by them.

And if he was asked to lead the army to fight, he was afraid that he would not be able to obey others because of his young age, so Chen Changzhu made such an arrangement.

"After the general leaves, no matter who invites me to drink or whoring, I will not be indifferent, but I will arrange the patrol and defense properly!" Ren Jirong said honestly.

"Good guy, how old are you, and you just want to whore?" Chen Changzhu was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help laughing.

"Are you still talking about me, how many wives and concubines you have married, do you have no idea?" Ren Jirong blushed when he heard the words, and couldn't help but retorted.

"Haha. The boy's refraining from sex!" Chen Changzhu was not annoyed when he heard the words, but said old-fashionedly, "I'm afraid that you will not be able to control it because you are young."

"Just understand it in your heart, and you are old and young. After you have made great achievements this time, I will ask King Shun to reward you as a woman from a wealthy family, so that you can enjoy it too!"

"Ah? Which...which?" Ren Jirong was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look around and stutter.

He wanted to refute a few words, but he was also afraid that Chen Changzhu would speak ill of himself in front of King Shun, so he rejected it for a while, and accepted it, and there was a quarrel.

"Haha, do it well!" Chen Changzhu was also a person who had been there, so he didn't understand what he was thinking, so he just accepted it.

Chen Changzhu stood up and patted Ren Jirong on the shoulder, and continued: "I have already written to Lintao General Zhang Yingchang, ordering him to send a troop to Xining for support. You only need to defend Lanzhou City well!"

"As for Lanzhou general Fei Yizai, I will call him to fight together in a while, so as to completely relieve your worries!"

"General." Although Ren Jirong had led the army for several years, he was still a child after all.

Hearing that Chen Changbing took such good care of him, he couldn't help being very moved.

If it weren't for Chen Changbing already having a son, Ren Jirong would have almost recognized him as his adoptive father.

After arranging all the affairs in Lanzhou City, the next day Chen Changbing led Lanzhou General Fei Yizai and [-] troops to Hongchengzibao to support Wei Congyi.

Chen Changzhu originally mobilized [-] cavalry from Guyuan, plus [-] infantry including Ren Jirong, and [-] new cavalry from Wei Congyi.

The remaining soldiers and horses, about a thousand, were all entrusted to Zhang Rujing to take care of them in Guyuan.

Now that he had arrived in Lanzhou, Chen Changzhu had to separate [-] infantry from Ren Jirong, let him defend Lanzhou, and led the remaining [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry under Fei Yizai's command to go.

Fortunately, there are many horses in Lanzhou, and Fei Yizai's subordinates are quite capable of riding, so Chen Changzhu also took the opportunity to recruit more than a thousand mules and horses.

With the help of this horsepower, three thousand people including Chen Changlan and Fei Yizai rushed to the outskirts of Hongchengzi in two days.

"What's the situation?" Wei Congyi had already personally greeted him, and Chen Changzhu immediately asked when he saw him.

"At the beginning of the battle, Lu thief suffered a lot. Once his reinforcements arrive, the battle will be difficult!" Wei Congyi shook his head and said.

"How many troops?" Chen Changzhu also knew that it would be difficult for a strong man to defeat the enemy with only a thousand horsemen from Wei Congyi.

"There are more than a thousand riders and four thousand infantry. There are quite a lot of horses and mules, and all of them can ride!" Wei Congyi hesitated for a while.

"Naturally, Gan Zhen has been in the frontier for a long time, and both men and women can ride, which is different from the mainland!" Chen Changzhu glanced at Fei Yizai and couldn't help laughing.

"But it doesn't matter, the book of war will be issued later, and it is agreed to fight tomorrow morning!"

"This... Lu thief is willing to fight?" Wei Congyi looked at the huge cavalry behind Chen Changzhu, and couldn't help wondering.

The Lu family had more than a thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry, while the rebel army had three thousand cavalry and one thousand infantry.

No matter how you look at it, the rebel army is stronger. As long as Lu Yunchang is not a sand sculpture, he won't fight at all!

"It doesn't matter, I will order the soldiers tomorrow, and only [-] riders will be left outside. The rest of the soldiers will dismount and line up to wait for the Lu thieves!" Chen Changzhu laughed.

Although he is upright, he is not ignorant of truth.

I think back then when he led the bodyguards, he also used bluffs and pretending to be pigs to eat tigers, etc., but now he can use them easily.

"Besides, even if Bandit Lu doesn't come out, I can still deal with him!" Chen Changzhu sneered.

"This time I brought a banner of artillery for the purpose of attacking the city. Why are you afraid of him?"

"What?" Wei Congyi was taken aback, and then remembered the practice of the rebel army "flying on iron cannons".

One flag is ten teams of gunners, and each team of ten people serves a cannon.Everyone is equipped with a horse mule so that the artillery can be pulled and maneuvered, which is unexpected.
