"Father, what should I do?" Qin Zuojin looked at Qin Lifeng, but his face was still bloody. Qin Lifeng glanced at his son, feeling a little annoyed, and he really couldn't stand it.

"Prepare for war!" He said with a calm face and said word by word.

"They only have one thousand people now, which is easy to fight, but they will definitely increase their troops quickly. How can they win this battle?" Qin Zuojin no longer had his previous heroic spirit and said a little shivering.

"The Meng people can tolerate me because they have no power to control the entire Yanzhou area and need to rely on my power. But looking at Li Fugui's style today, it is obvious that Yun Zhao's Northern Expedition Army has already made a decision on Yanzhou, and Yun Zhao cannot tolerate me. He wants to build a Yanzhou that belongs to the Northern Expedition Army. My existence is contrary to his policies."

"Why did Li Fugui come to negotiate with us today? If we agree to him, wouldn't he have no excuse to use force against us?" Qin Zuojin asked in confusion.

"That's because they lack troops!" Qin Lifeng said angrily: "If I agree to the conditions proposed by Li Fugui, it would be like tied up himself to his chariot and completely separated from the Mongolian people. Then he could slowly deal with me. The Qin family would be like a waste of time and return to the previous state. You said, how could I be willing?"

"What my father means is that we will surrender to the Meng people?" Qin Zuojin said.

"Not bad!" Qin Lifeng said fiercely: "Since Yun Zhao cannot tolerate me, I will turn to the Mongolian people. With the support of the Mongolian people in Yanzhou, it is unknown who will win to death? The Northern Army blackmailed us food and grass. Obviously, they have great weaknesses in this regard. If a large-scale war broke out in Yanzhou and there was not enough food to support me, I see how he fought. As a gold medal, you will immediately send someone to Bolu of Yancheng for help."

"Yes, I'll send someone to do it right away!"

"Since we have decided to be an enemy of Yun Zhao, then we will swallow these thousand people first. It can also be regarded as our condemnation to the Meng people!" Qin Lifeng slapped the battlements heavily and said in a dark voice, "It will take at least ten days for Li Fugui to gather troops in Pinghu. Li Fugui, I will make you unable to survive these ten days!"

Pinghu, Qixia Mountain, Li Fugui's camp was busy building the camp. The trees were cut down and the branches were simply cut off. They dragged them directly into the camp. After a simple processing, they swung the hammer and nailed the tree poles into the ground to form a fence. The excess cut was nailed together with anchors, making horse-rejecting or roadblocks, and placed in front of the camp. Outside the camp, it seemed messy, but in fact, crisscrossing trenches were dug according to certain rules. Even the camp was no exception, but the slight difference was that after the trenches in the camp were dug out, a thin layer of branches was laid on it, sprinkled with fine soil and smoothed it down. From the outside, there was basically no difference from the flat ground on one side.

This is Li Fugui's style. As a former captain, setting traps is his strength. Since he led the camp, he always sets traps in the camp. Although he has never used it, he still enjoys it. As the saying goes, it is a matter of precaution, and no precautions are a waste. Li Fugui always has a mentality just in case. If someone really breaks his camp, these traps will become a weapon for him to kill the enemy and block the enemy's offensive.

The negotiations broke down, and Li Fugui had a premonition that the battle would come soon. Although Qin Zuojin was not very smart, Qin Lifeng was a ruthless character. Since he wanted to turn against him, he would of course have to use his own ruthless moves. Eating himself first would be a good choice. Who said that he only has a thousand soldiers and horses now? In front of his opponents, he was really weak. Even if the soldiers and horses of the Qin family were all soft-legged crabs, many ants bite the elephant to death, and tens of thousands of people rushed forward, which would cost human life.

So Li Fugui went a long way to choose the camp, and finally chose Qixia Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is close to Pinghu Lake and there is no shortage of water. Even if the enemy surrounds him and digs down for more than ten meters, he can get the water. The important thing is that as long as he can last ten days, reinforcements will arrive. Of course, Li Fugui can choose to retreat first, but he has his own considerations. If the Qin family calls, he can act as bait and stick his opponent here, and be able to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, which is beneficial to the current situation in Yanzhou.

What I fear most is a stalemate. The order to dispatch troops was issued on his way to Qixia Mountain. The soldiers of the Fifth Battalion, the farthest from here, will arrive in ten days. Ten days later, it will be the time for his general attack.

When the moon was on the middle of the night, Li Fugui finally took a breath and returned to his tent. There was no need to worry about the Qin family calling tonight. The other party had to prepare for the battle. It was obviously not enough for a day.

With the pine oil torch in the tent, Li Fugui carefully looked at the Pinghu map spread on the table several times. After confirming the opponent's most likely route of advance, he felt relieved to lie on the bed. On those routes, he had sent several whistle cavalry. As long as the Qin family made moves, he could get the news as soon as possible and be prepared. Of course, it was defense that he had thousands of people, and the madman would rush out of the camp to fight the opponent.

The sound of the third update of the camp came from the camp. Li Fugui, who had been tired for a day, finally fell asleep in a daze. Except for the guarded sentries and the sentry cavalry outside, the other soldiers were already lying in their arms with their clothes. In the camp, the snoring sounded loudly.

Faced with the attacks that tens of thousands of enemy troops could arrive at any time, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion, with only more than a thousand people, could still sleep so quietly, and only the army that truly came from the brink of life and death could still face all this calmly.

Compared with the tranquility of the Fifth Battalion in Qixia Mountain, Qinjiazhuang is brightly lit. The core figures and generals of the Qin family gather together and are discussing the situation that they will face next.

The thousand people who ate Li Fugui seemed not a problem, but they had to face more powerful soldiers. They had to go to the next step, which was to quickly connect the Mongolian army in Yanzhou. Only when the Mongolian army participated in it would they be able to stalemate with the soldiers and even drive them out of Yanzhou. In Qin Lifeng's view, as long as they formed a stalemate with the soldiers, they could force their opponents to surrender. At that time, the possibility of sitting at the negotiating table would greatly increase.

"Tomorrow, the entire army will be dispatched to attack! Eliminate the thousand Li Fugui's troops!" Qin Lifeng slapped the table and stood up, "Yun Zhao wants to swallow my Qin family. His appetite is big enough, but I want to see if his teeth are hard enough!"

"Abide by the order!" The core figures of the Qin family stood up suddenly and said loudly.

Li Fugui was awakened by the sudden sound of horse hooves. He jumped up and rushed out of the tent. Could it be that the Qin family's mobilization ability is so strong that they gathered troops overnight and fought? If this is true, the days ahead will be difficult!

When Li Fugui rushed out of the camp, the soldiers in the camp rushed out of the tent and quickly began to assemble.

The lights in the quiet camp suddenly became bright, illuminating the front of the camp, and rockets shot out, igniting the firewood pile that had been piled up in front of the camp.

"It's your own people!" The battleship suddenly shouted loudly in the high-level Diao Dou at the camp gate, "It's your own people, we have to set up the flag of the envoy's mansion, ours!"

"Our people?" Li Fugui strode towards the camp gate in surprise. Could it be that Lord Yao had predicted his situation in Yanzhou and sent someone over?

When he walked to the gate and looked through the fence, under the bright fire, more than a hundred horses were rushing towards him not far away. Seeing the man at the beginning, Li Fugui shivered. How could he be Wu Fan, the governor’s personal guard?

"Open the door!" he shouted.

The door opened, and Li Fugui strode out and held his fists with his hands, "General Wu, why is it you? You are not by the governor, why are you here?"

Wu Fan turned over and dismounted, and returned the salute with his fists, "General Li, the governor has arrived at the Yizhou Governor."

"What? The governor has arrived in Yizhou?" Li Fugui said in surprise.

"Let's go in and say, I've brought important orders!" Wu Fan said.

The two walked back to the tent, and Wu Fan said bluntly: "The governor has decided to kill the chicken and scare monkey in Yanzhou and take down the Qin family as quickly as possible, so as to shock Yanzhou and Longzhou to try to fight against the forces of the Northern Expedition Army and to calm down the Yanlong two prefectures as soon as possible."

"The governor has made up his mind?"

"Yes! The governor has issued an order to assemble the divisions of your Fifth Battalion distributed in Yanzhou. All units have set out and are expected to assemble under your command in five days. At the same time, Wang Qiang's fourth battalion is also moving closer to Yanzhou. Once the war is not going well here, the fourth battalion will also enter Yanzhou."

"That's great!" Li Fugui was overjoyed, "I also issued an order to my subordinates, but the command troops set out today. I thought that all the troops would be gathered in ten days."

Wu Fan smiled and said, "The governor passed you and issued an order directly to the various departments because of the urgent military situation. The governor did not want the Qin family to have too much time to report, so he specially sent me here, first to inform you, and second to apologize to you."

"The Governor is saying this!" Li Fugui smiled and said, "It is natural for the Governor to issue orders to his subordinates, so I should inform me. To be honest, Commander Wu, I was scratching my head. I originally thought that the days to come would be extremely painful, but this move of the Governor made me feel much more relaxed."

"The governor will come to supervise the battle in person!" Wu Fan said with a smile. "I will not leave this time. I will assist you in the battle first and wait for the governor!"

"With Commander Wu's help, I'm fine!" Li Fugui laughed and said, "It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise I will be with you three great whites!"
