After the army entered the fort, they did not make any mistakes with the people, which made everyone in Fu's Fort feel relieved. After the five thousand Tang army entered the fort, they were led by Fu Yang's family members and settled down in several large houses. Then dozens of people were recruited to cook food for the five thousand Tang army.

The biggest house in the castle, the front yard, has been given to Liu Shang by Fu Yang's father, and all the Fu family members have been arranged to live in the back yard.

In the hall, Liu Shang summoned all the four generals, and then invited Fu Baochang and Fu Yang to come.

After everyone sat down, Liu Shangxian stood up and saluted Fu's father and son. He said, "I respect my father and son for their great righteousness. I should have told the king about it. Please don't reward me!"

"I dare not!" Fu's father and son quickly got up and said,

"well, now that we are all from our own family, we don't have to be so polite." Yu Shang said with a smile;

"yes, yes, we are all from our own family. The soldiers have been running in the field for several days. Today, we can have a good night's rest. I really want to thank the fort owner. " Fang Ge also said with a smile;

"it's the honor of Fu Jiabao!" The Lord Fu bowed to answer.

"Well, let's discuss the military affairs next." Liu Shang interrupted everyone's joking and said: "master Fu, master Fu, we have just arrived here. Please give us a detailed introduction of the situation in the West. The more detailed, the better!"

As they have seen all the way, the population and villages of dingyang are mainly concentrated in dingyang, Danzhou and hukou, while the rest of the aborigines are mostly concentrated in the two sides of the official road to the west of dingyang. There are only more than ten small villages between the east of dingyang and hukou, so it is time to start the war They have been forced to move to Shouyang city before.

In the west of dingyang, in addition to the Fu family castle, there are Qu family castle, Yao family castle and Fan family castle to the West. They are all fortresses about the size of Fu family castle, and the number of them is about 300 or 500. On the east side, there are no bigger village fortresses except caojiabao on the other side of the river and shijiabao on the west side of dingyang. The rest are basically small villages with more than a hundred people, and most of them are scattered among the mountains. They seldom contact with the outside on weekdays, except that they come to the county from time to time to sell some fur and prey, and then purchase some daily necessities and grain to go back.

As for the situation in the city, they are not very clear, there is no other reason, because these days, tens of thousands of reinforcements have entered dingyang city from the official way, and they have not cared about how many soldiers there are in dingyang city. For local snakes like them, it has little to do with whether dingyang city's surname is Tang or whatever.

Seeing that Liu Shangzhu was disappointed that he had not been able to provide detailed information about dingyang City, Fu Yang got up and said, "general, if you don't want to go to the county after dawn tomorrow, I will go to the county to find out what's going on in the city."

"No need." Liu Shang stopped and said, "we have a general idea of the situation of the soldiers and horses in dingyang city. We just want to get some facts from you and others. Now the most important thing is how to cooperate with the army in the east to attack the county."

"If not, my father will take the lead and contact the heads of all the families. If you want to contribute to the siege of the army, you can still say three or five." Fu Yang asks tentatively;

the reason why he says this is that there are basically dozens of people or servants in these big fortresses in the west of dingyang. They are all the families that have lived in dingyang for decades or even for one or two hundred years. If it is not for dingyang, it is too bad to have a family of thousands. Now there is a chance. If we can make great contributions to each family, we may be able to leave this place and let the family get better development. Fu Yang believes that the owners of each family will carefully consider this matter.

Liu Shang shook his head again and rejected Fu Yang's suggestion: "if you people are strong, if you are sent to the battlefield, you are just going to die. There is no need to pay such unnecessary casualties."

Liu Shang's words, Fu's father and son were very happy. They knew that they didn't vote for the wrong person, so they racked their brains to think of a way.

At this time, Yu said: "general, I have some ideas, which are not very mature, but can be used to throw a brick to attract jade."

"Go ahead, General Yu!"

"If you want to cooperate with general Tian's attack, there are only several aspects. One is to disturb the enemy in the city, and the other is to kill the enemy as much as possible. We can consider which is the best way to do it one by one."

"Yes!" Fu Yang suddenly clapped his hands and said;

several people were startled by his sudden voice, and they all stared at him. Staring at by several people, Fu Yang also felt a little abrupt and whispered: "several generals, as general Yu said just now, want to kill the enemy as much as possible. The boy is thinking that if tomorrow's boy goes to the county town for help, he says that a small group of Tang army is attacking Fu Jiabao..."

"Good!"

"Not bad!"

"Good idea!"

Before he finished, several generals on the scene applauded him.Soon several people discussed the specific plan. When they left, Liu Shang patted Fu Yang on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Fu, if there is no accident, you can make a great contribution."

One night without words, the next morning, the whole Fu family castle began to make preparations. In order to attract dingyang, in addition to sending people to the county for help, there are still many things to be prepared. First of all, all the people in the fort were moved away, which didn't need the Tang army to worry about. After getting up early in the morning, old man Fu gathered all the old and weak women and Confucians in the fort. Then he left the side door of the fort and took all the people to a secret place in the back mountain of the fort.

Nowadays, there are no two or three secrets in the family, let alone the temporary resettlement of the elderly and the weak, so this problem is quickly solved. As for the young men in the fort, they still have to stay. They have to help the Tang army do something.

The second is to strengthen the defense inside the fortress. There must be too many troops coming out of the city. After discovering that this is a trap, either they should retreat back to the city as soon as possible or attack the fortress. Therefore, the Tang army must be prepared in both directions.

After making these preparations, it was almost noon. After Liu Shang ordered everyone to have a good meal, he began the next arrangement. First of all, tieyingruishi and the 2000 soldiers of baotao battalion of Yingyang camp left the fortress and headed for dingyang for two miles. Then they entered a valley to hide. Inside the fort, Yuanrong crossbow soldiers were left to defend. As for the 1000 soldiers of xiongqu camp, they were left outside the fort as part of the siege, ready to lure the Yang army into the trap.

The task of asking for help in the city was handed over to Fu Yang at his strong request, because he said that he had acquaintances in the county yamen of the county, and that he was the eldest son of the Fu family. If he went to ask for help, it would be easier for people in the city to believe it.

After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Shang agreed to his request, but for his safety, he specially assigned two elite Tang soldiers to protect him as servants.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind.
