Seeing that Zhang Liao held heavy troops but was not arrogant, stubborn, modest and cautious, he had a higher evaluation of Zhang Liao and admired the high quality of the generals under Lu Ning. "General Wenyuan said that he would let the army go to the backbone and eliminate the bandits, I have no good idea, let alone let the soldiers fly up. But General Wenyuan's army does not need to go to the backbone. As long as the army is sent to guard the road to the east and south, the road to the backbone in the east and south directions is enough, then as long as the walls are solid and cleared. In this way, whether it is Chen Pu or Zulang, the two brothers Zushan will always have to eat and drink. Even if they have enough food on the backbone, they will not be able to leave enough salt. As long as the bandits on the backbone come down the mountain, our army can eliminate them in a spacious place."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao laughed loudly, looked happy, stood up and saluted Mr. Lu Kang before saying, "Mr. Lu is awesome, why can't I think of this method? I've really been taught."

When Mr. Lu saw Zhang Liao bowing to him, he still stood up and bowed, saying, "When will General Wenyuan take action? The people around Liangshan are living in dire straits. I hope the general will send troops as soon as possible, so that the people will suffer less harm and less damage."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao was not arrogant, nor did he recommend the commission. He replied very clearly: "Mr. Lu, don't worry, I will issue an order to send troops now, and do all the preparations before the war today. Let's set off tomorrow morning. Can you see if you can?"

After hearing this, Mr. Lu stood up and bowed to Zhang Liao, then stood up and said, "Thank you, General Wen Yuan. I am saluting the general on behalf of the people around Liangshan!"

Zhang Liao smiled and accepted Mr. Lu's gift. This gift must be received. Even if he received this gift, he would assume responsibility and obligation. "My grandfather, since our army will go out to clear the bandits on the Broken Mountain tomorrow, I will not leave the old man. You should rush back to Wancheng as soon as possible to post a notice of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields and wanting Chen Pu, Zulang, Zushan and the bandits on the Broken Mountain. Anyone who dares to trade with the bandits on the Broken Mountain again, privately hiding, secretly hiring the bandits on the Broken Mountain is punished for the crime of regurgit, and those who know that the bandits on the Broken Mountain who do not report the crime will be severely punished. Any bandits on the Broken Mountain who take the initiative to go down the mountain and conquer the law will be given leniency within the specified time. If they do not go down the mountain after the expiration, they will be severely punished and will be slaves for life."

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Wen Yuan is right. I will immediately rush back to Wancheng and post these notices and wanted orders to various places in Lujiang. This is also a psychological warfare. First, destroy the morale of the bandits and kill their majesty."

After Mr. Lu Kang left, Zhang Liao immediately arranged for the preparations of various strategic materials for his soldiers to go to the expedition, especially the amount of bows and crossbows, as well as food, grass, weapons and equipment. If these preparations for the expedition were made by other princes, it would probably take several days to prepare at the fastest. Lu Ning's military system was different. Many materials were kept in place at normal times, and their work efficiency was high. The generals in charge of logistics support were very experienced. The daily training was trained according to the requirements of the war. Once he heard that the expedition was completed, the entire barracks would immediately run and would not be liable for a moment.

After the negotiations were made, Mr. Lu Kang immediately turned around and returned to Wancheng. The next morning, he arrived at Wancheng. He was not busy at home and went directly to the government office. He immediately supported the notice and wanted notice of the Jianbi Qingyuan. He sent a quick horse to all places immediately, so that local officials could do the work and related matters of the people immediately, and explained it to the people clearly.

The next day, Zhang Liao left five thousand sea dragon soldiers and Wuwu Feixiong Army soldiers to station at the Ruxuwu Wharf and various controlled areas. He and Ling Cao led the five thousand Feixiong Army to head towards Wancheng immediately. At dusk, Zhang Liao and Ling Cao led the five thousand Feixiong Army to Wancheng. When Mr. Lu Kang in the city knew that the army had arrived, he and Xu Sheng, the garrison general in Wancheng, personally went to the city gate to greet him. Zhang Liao asked the army to temporarily station outside Wancheng, and he and Ling Cao entered the city.

That night, Mr. Lu Kang set up a welcome banquet for General Fangliao and others. After the banquet, Zhang Liao, Ling Cao, Xu Sheng and his generals held another military meeting, and exchanged the methods and methods of attacking the backbone and using troops, so that all the generals could understand the difficulties of sending troops and the problems that would arise. He studied several plans and responded to the situation and calmly responded to various unexpected situations when they suddenly occurred.

One night later, Zhang Liao, Ling Cao, Xu Sheng also had five thousand violent bear troops, and two thousand flying bear troops bid farewell to Mr. Lu Kang and set off. He left three thousand flying bear troops in Anhui City to prevent the surrounding princes from taking the opportunity to invade.

At night, the army arrived at the foot of Jiliang Mountain. Zhang Liao asked General Ling Cao to lead 2,000 Rising Bear Army and 1,000 Flying Bear Army soldiers to station the sheep-intestine path that came down from Jiliang Mountain in the east, and sent a large number of scouts to conduct more detailed reconnaissance around, and always monitor the movements of Jiliang Mountain. Zhang Liao and Xu Sheng led 3,000 Rising Bear Army soldiers and 1,000 Flying Bear Army soldiers to defend the narrow road on Jiliang Mountain in the south, and even a fly should not fly out of the controlled area of ​​the army.

After the army was stationed, although the scouts sent Zhang Liao the situation of the two roads on the Jiliangshan Mountain and the detailed information surrounding the surroundings to Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao still led Xu Sheng and his personal soldiers to conduct on-site reconnaissance on the south side of the Yangyan Trail. Originally, they thought that they could use the strong individual combat capabilities of the soldiers of the Rising Bear Army, and secretly steal up the mountain with good weapons and armor. If they didn't work, they would even pull up the improved light catapult cart and bombard it for a while. After careful observation, Zhang Liao shook his head, sighed helplessly, and gave up. This would work. Chen Pu's wall was built on the hillside, and guards were placed on the cliffs on both sides of the Yangyan Trail. Just throwing stones from the mountain and shooting bows and arrows, the army would have no choice. It was impossible to attack. Unless it could fly up, it would only allow the soldiers under his command to die in vain.

After conducting a field investigation on the Mao Road to the east, Zhang Liao knew even more that it would be more difficult to attack from this direction and there would be no hope of success. In the end, Zhang Liao implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields and trapped the bandits on the backbone and starved to death. When they had no food, would the bandits on the mountain be willing to stay on the backbone and starve to death? They would definitely organize down the mountain to fight to the decisive battle or break out of the encirclement?

Zhang Liao's army guarded the only two roads to the Jiliangshan Mountain. Chen Pu and Zulang, the two brothers of Zushan, also knew that the road down the mountain was blocked by the army, and also knew the notice of the clearing of the strong walls and wanted notice of the prefect Lu Kang. At first, they did not take it seriously, thinking that Zhang Liao's army would not be stationed for a long time and would evacuate for at most two months. However, later they found that Zhang Liao's army was motionless and showed no sign of retreating. It seemed that they would never give up if they were driven to kill them.

Chen Pu and Zulang, Zulang and the second brothers of Zushan, both sent out a number of bandits to secretly go down the mountain, trying to avoid the sight of Zhang Liao's army. Every time the subordinates sent down did not return, without any information, and they couldn't figure out the situation at the foot of the mountain. Although Chen Pu and Zulang, Zulang, Zushan's two brothers were not worried that Zhang Liao's army would attack the backbone, which was welcome. Now Zhang Liao's army does not take the initiative to attack, but instead strengthens the walls and clears the field, so they are overwhelmed.

Chen Pu, Zulang, and the two brothers of Zushan also knew very well that although the Zhang Liao army at the backbone mountain had only six or seven thousand soldiers and the two bandits on their own mountain had about 20,000, the combat power was different. Moreover, the great Bear Army was famous and had many years of conquering everywhere. The Xianbei tribe, the Xiongnu and other iron cavalry on the northern grasslands. Although they have been invading for hundreds of years and invading the border of our Han Dynasty, they have never completely changed the passive situation. Faced with the Daxiong Army, the extremely cruel Xianbei tribes, the Xiongnu cavalry did not have any way, and they were all eliminated by the Daxiong and all destroyed the clan. Such an elite army, their subordinates were rivals, and they did not dare to go down the mountain to find trouble for Zhang Liao's army easily, hoping that Zhang Liao's army would not be able to stay and see through the retreat.

Three months later, the salt of the two waves of bandits on the backbone of Chen Pu and Zulang and the two brothers of Zushan were used up, and there was not much food left, but Zhang Liao's army was still defending closely at the foot of the mountain. If they could not think of a solution, they would have to die. Even if they took the initiative to surrender, they would not be able to do so. The last date of the wanted notice of Lu Kang's prefect, they would not have any good results when they went down the mountain. They would definitely be beheaded, and the soldiers under them would be slaves for life. They were anxious now, and they could not think of any good solutions for many days.
