The Three Kingdoms' Need for a Master

Chapter 210
When I came to the foot of the mountain and took a look, I saw countless Shanyue soldiers lined up neatly.

"Xu Chu, let's go down." Qin Fan hurried back to wake Xu Chu up.

Xu Chu got up, said a few words to his two women, and rushed out.

"Aren't your legs weak?"

Seeing him staring at the dark circles under his eyes, Qin Fan said angrily.

"Hey, it's not going to be a long time, that, I couldn't hold back for a while, hey."

Qin Fan warned: "Don't be joking. When the time comes to beat Sun Ce, I think you will have to go. If you can't beat Sun Ce, you will embarrass me, then don't come back to see me."

Upon hearing Sun Ce, Xu Chu raised his head and said, "I will definitely beat him up."

"Don't brag," Qin Fan walked down, "keep up."

When the two reached the foot of the mountain, Audrey was riding a war horse and patrolling the soldiers.

Qin Fan glanced around, saw two horses not far away, pointed and said: "Let's go, let's get on the horses."

Audrey came back from patrolling, ignored the two of them, waved her arm, and led the Shanyue soldiers forward.

Xu Chu smacked his lips and said: "This mother is really fierce, even in war, she is so cruel to death."

Qin Fan said in a low voice: "She is upset, where can she be happy? This time I originally wanted you to lead the army, but I didn't expect her to come."

Xu Chu scratched his head.

Qin Fan laughed and said: "When you have time, you can pull up a team in Shanyue, and it will be much easier for us to do things."

"I'm a Han Chinese, so it's not so easy," Xu Chu said, "Sooner or later, I have to live here for many years."

Qin Fan also talked about it.

Although he and Xu Chu were relatively slow, they were riding horses after all, so they would not fall behind.

It was already three days later when they arrived in Pengze County.

Wu Zun, the county magistrate of Pengze County, was dispatched by Gu Yong from Shu County. He is young and promising, with a refined appearance.

Qin Fan was stunned for a long time when he heard this person's name, but when he saw Wu Zun himself, he thought that this Wu Zun was much more handsome than the Wu Zun he remembered.

"My next official, Wu Zun, see Marquis Qin."

When Wu Zun saw Qin Fan, he hurriedly saluted him.

"Exemption," Qin Fan asked, "Wu Zun, what news has Sun Ce had recently?"

"Back to Marquis Qin, the dark guard reported that Sun Ce is less than a day's journey away from us."

"one day?"

Qin Fan heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he was one step ahead, if Audrey was allowed to delay for two days, Sun Ce might have captured Pengze County.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Pengze County?" Qin Fan was most concerned about this question.

"Back to the Marquis of Qin, there are more than four hundred soldiers and horses in Pengze County."

Pengze County is a small county, with more than [-] people, it is actually not bad.

Qin Fan nodded and said, "Gather all 400 people and reserve them for public security."

Wu Zun frowned, and said, "I obey orders."

After Wu Zun left, Xu Chu said, "Master, Wu Zun doesn't seem happy."

"It's not unhappy," Qin Fan said, "It should be very unhappy."

"My lord, why don't you explain?"

"Explain what?" Qin Fan said: "It's useless to explain. They all instinctively reject the Shanyue people, and I reject them too, but what can I do? It still needs to be used now."

He waved his hand, "Don't talk about this, let's go to the top of the city to have a look."

At this time, there were Shanyue soldiers everywhere in Pengze County.

What reassured Qin Fan was that Audrey was good at leading the army, and these Mountain Yue soldiers did not come indiscriminately.

Walking around the four walls, Qin Fan found that Audrey had divided the 500 soldiers into four, and placed [-] soldiers on each wall.

"Qin Hou, please ask someone to move some stones and wood, we will have to use them to defend the city."

"Xu Chu, go to Wu Zun and ask him to prepare these." Qin Fan turned back and told Xu Chu.

After Xu Chu left, Qin Fan couldn't help but said, "Is this how you plan to arrange it?"

Audrey said calmly, "What other options do you have?"

"The people on the city wall are too crowded, and there is no need to equally distribute the number of people to each gate." Qin Fan pointed to the two people who were not far away and said, "Look at the distance between them, it can be increased by about ten feet."

Audrey said: "Isn't the more the better?"

Qin Fan said with a smile: "Of course, the more people the better, but the many here don't mean putting them on the city wall, but the reserve army."

Audrey had almost zero experience in defending the city. Hearing this, she couldn't help but blushed slightly, and she kept a stern face and said nothing.

Qin Fan tried his best to speak calmly: "It's best to put 1000 people on each side, and the remaining 6000 people to be placed in the city as a reserve army. We must also send people to guard the city gate. Don't forget this."

It was only then that Qin Fan remembered that Audrey was not released at the city gate.

Isn't this woman just thinking about closing the city gate?
Thinking of this, Qin Fan's forehead burst into cold sweat.

"Well, I see," Audrey said, "Is there anything else I'm missing?"

Qin Fan couldn't figure out what Audrey was thinking, so he said, "There's nothing left, but I hope you can give Xu Chu two thousand soldiers."

"I can let him guard a city wall, and all the soldiers on that wall will be dispatched by him."

Qin Fan nodded secretly, anyway, now that Xu Chu is also her brother-in-law, Audrey still trusts Xu Chu somewhat.

But Qin Fan didn't want Xu Chu to only guard the city wall.

"You send people to guard the four walls, I have no problem. You give Xu Chu another two thousand soldiers, which I can use."

"What?" Audrey asked.

Qin Fan smiled mysteriously, and said, "Of course we are going to deal with Sun Ce. Sun Ce is coming to attack the city. We are not simply defending."

It was difficult for Qin Fan to say what was in his heart. Seeing Audrey's experience in defending the city, his heart sank for the most part.

If Sun Ce sent one or two men to attack the city, it would be difficult to defend.

Therefore, it is very necessary to fight before the battle. This can dampen the enemy's spirit and at the same time stimulate the bravery of the Shanyue soldiers. Otherwise, they will collapse at the first touch, and the battle will be too useless.

Audrey sighed and said, "I don't have much experience in defending the city, why don't you defend the city this time?"

Qin Fan thought in his heart that it's good that I came up with an idea. If he defends the city, he is probably no different from you.

Immediately refused: "It's better for you to defend the city, these subordinates of yours may not listen to my orders."

Audrey looked at Qin Fan in surprise.

Qin Fan said: "Now it's not a matter of you defending the city and I defending the city, but that none of your soldiers have experience in defending the city, nor do I, so defending the city cannot be the top priority. Attack Sun Ce."

"How many troops did Sun Ce bring?" Audrey asked.

Qin Fan suddenly regretted why he didn't bring either Gu Yong or Lu Su.

When it comes to fighting, one really shouldn't overestimate one's brains and abilities. Apart from Xu Chu, Qin Fan really knows who to rely on now.
