The more Lu You listened, the wider his mouth opened. Six hundred broke three thousand? A few of them could delay the Cao army for seven days? A fire almost killed Cao Cao?
Why did it feel like he was listening to a fantasy?
Wang Mou stared at Lu You and said resolutely," You have to believe me. Peng City can be defended. This is the only way to save the people. We have no choice. Or do you want to abandon them and let the tragedy of Guangqi repeat itself?"”
"Nonsense!"
"If I wanted to escape, I would have done so long ago," Lu You said excitedly."Why should I stay here and not make a move?”
"Good! General Gao Yi, compared to those who only care about running for their lives, you are the real hero!”
Lu You smiled bitterly." What kind of hero am I? He just couldn't bear to see his hometown being harmed and his people being slaughtered!”
Then, he bowed respectfully to Wang Mou." Young Master, please teach me!”
"Alright, let's work together to get through this crisis!”
Wang Mou heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu You did not ask about his identity. Perhaps he could not figure out the relationship between them!
"Young Master, what should we do now? To tell you the truth, I don't have any other way now. I can only give you orders. I promise to listen!”
"General is too polite!"
Wang Mou didn't act pretentious and immediately took over the power.
"Send people to bring the people back to the city first, then... Right, how many horses are there in the city?”
Lu You shook his head." There are no cavalry in the south. There are only fifty of them that can be used as warhorses, and they are my personal guards!”
Wang Mou thought for a moment and nodded."On the one hand, send people to let the people return. On the other hand, send people to Lu County, Wu County, and other nearby counties to inform them that the Cao army is about to come and massacre the city. Tell them to quickly escape. If possible, transfer the garrison here.”
Lu You nodded. Lu County was his hometown, so he couldn't help but be concerned.
"But Young Master, didn't you say that Cao Cao's army was coming? Is this enough time?"
"Don't worry, I will personally stall the Cao army and buy you some time.”
"How are you going to stall? There aren't enough soldiers in the city for you!”
"There's no need for much. I'll lend you fifty cavalry!”
"What? Are you kidding me?"
Lu You screamed and almost bit his tongue. 50 cavalry could hold off Cao Cao's army of tens of thousands? Are you sure you're not kidding me?
"Don't worry, I'll do what I say. I'll definitely buy you enough time!”
"I don't believe the words of others. If Young Master says he can do it, then he definitely can!" Xu Sheng said.”
"Crazy, crazy, everyone's crazy!”
Lu You, who was pacing back and forth anxiously, finally said helplessly,""But now, other than accompanying you to go crazy, I have no other good way. I hope Young Master can create a miracle!”
Wang Mou smiled and shook his head. If he had enough troops, would he need to take the risk himself? This was not his style of doing things!
"Who is the Governor of Xiapi? Maybe he will lead the army to help?"
Xiapi County was not far from Pengcheng, so it would be best if there was an army stationed there.
Lyu You laughed bitterly." Young Master, you don't have to count on it. When Xiapi's Prime Minister, Zuo Rong, heard that the Cao army had attacked and the Lord Prefect had been defeated, he had already packed up his belongings and led his troops south to escape. Xiapi is no different from a defenseless place now!”
Wang Mou's expression turned ugly. So it was this evil person. It was better to hope for Dian Wei to show his might and behead Cao Cao alone in the middle of the army.
Forget it, he didn't have much hope, so he wasn't disappointed.
"Young Master, why don't we ask the lord for reinforcements?”
Wang Mou did not deny it." Then go and try!"”
"There's no time to lose. Let's begin!"
After getting fifty warhorses from Lu You, Wang Mou recruited six hundred little fans.
"I need fifty skilled horsemen.”
It wasn't that Wang Mou didn't want to use Lu You's personal guards, but they had never cooperated before. They might not be convinced by him. These six hundred people were different. They would obey his orders. Even if he asked them to die, they probably wouldn't think twice.
Fortunately, sixty to seventy people finally stood up and did not have to worry about the riders.
Wang Mou said to Xu Sheng," You don't have to go. Bring your brothers here to cooperate with General Lu and do a good job in guarding the city. I will only be at ease if you are careful!"”
Xu Sheng was a little regretful, but he still accepted the order.”
Wang Mou then said to Lu You,"Get someone to carry two drums and a few gongs over."”
Although he didn't understand why Wang Mou wanted this thing, Lu You still did as he was told.
"After I leave, apart from recruiting the people, the city defense work will be of utmost importance. Also, take back all the ships outside the city.”
"Young Master, don't worry. We won't!"
Pengcheng County was surrounded by the Si River and a few other tributaries, causing it to be surrounded by water on both sides. In other words, even if Cao Cao's army surrounded the city, they could only attack two sides. This kind of terrain was extremely beneficial for defending the city. In addition, Pengcheng County was the territory of Pengcheng Country, so the defenses had never been left behind. The high and thick walls were another advantage.
During the primitive era, the capital of the Yellow Emperor was Pengcheng.
"Take them and follow me!"
The fifty cavalrymen took their drums and gongs and followed Wang Mou out of Peng City. Their mission was to delay the Cao army!
