Without Li Xuan as the backbone of the South Vietnamese tribes, their defeat would only be faster.

After a brief decision, Lizhu chose to compete with Li Xuan in speed.

See who can destroy the other faster.

It is Li Xuan who can mix among the refugees and destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty faster.

It was Lizhu who led the main force and destroyed these tribes faster.

For this reason, Lizhu simply ignored the imperial court's order to send troops back for rescue.

I will not accept the order of the foreign king.

What's more, it was the military order given by Qin He.

Lizhu directly issued an order for a full-scale attack, and at the same time dispatched the Red Flame Army to directly attack the settlements of those tribes based on the information given by the spies of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As long as we can force those tribesmen to return for reinforcements, we will then use superior force to deal with those who return for reinforcements.

Now it's a competition of speed.

Just to see who can destroy the other faster.

After Li Zhu destroyed a tribe, Li Xuan also got the news.

After receiving the news, Li Xuan sincerely admired the courage of Li Zhu, a princess who was not inferior to men.

To be honest, Li Xuan himself has thought about what he would do if this was the case.

His choice is the same as Lizhu's.

But he is different from Lizhu. Lizhu is the princess of Zhou Dynasty, and he is the king of South Vietnam.

As a king, he can make choices that do not go against his own heart.

But as the princess of Dazhou, Li Xuan felt that Lizhu had many things to consider.

The first is the issue of military orders. Disobeying military orders is a crime of beheading. Even the princess may not have an easy time.

Secondly, as the princess of Dazhou, she also has to consider the reaction of the people of Dazhou.

Although he wreaked so much destruction in the rear, he didn't kill many civilians.

However, the number of refugees caused has also reached an extremely destructive number.

But now the princess of Dazhou, even though she is clearly capable of rescuing, does not choose to rescue, but continues to fight in depth.

What kind of impression will such a princess leave on the people?

Based on the above two points, Li Xuan's judgment is that Lizhu will definitely return to defense.

But now Lizhu has made a completely different judgment than him.

"Speed ​​up the speed. We must destroy at least one city in Da Zhou before Princess Lizhu." Li Xuan gave the order to his subordinates.

Counties are generally relatively small. An average county has a population of more than a thousand, which is considered very large.

But Fucheng is different. Fucheng has a population of at least tens of thousands.

If a city is destroyed, the noise will be really big.

But it is not easy to destroy a city.

No matter the height or the strength of the city walls of Fucheng, no county can compare with them.

In addition, there are not many defenders on the county side, but there are thousands of defenders on the Fucheng side.

Although Li Xuan has ten thousand people, these ten thousand people are cavalry.

Using cavalry to attack a city with tall walls is definitely asking for death.

If you don’t wait, you may have become a living target.

Therefore, Li Xuan's method is to drive away the refugees and let them seek asylum in Fucheng first.

Then when Fucheng opens the door, he will lead his troops and rush directly into Fucheng.

Of course, he didn't need to think about the refugees blocking the door.

It’s not like they are their people anyway, just rush in.

The city that Li Xuan chose is called Ding'an Mansion, and the current governor of this city is the spy leader who successfully brought back intelligence from South Vietnam.

Being able to become the governor of a government is absolute real power.

And it is still in such a border area, so it is even more of a position of real power among the real powers.

The most important thing is that now is the time when the two sides are fighting, and it is really easy to make meritorious deeds.

When the time comes, after you have made meritorious deeds, you will definitely rise to the top with your merits and rise all the way up.

Becoming Qin He's true right-hand man is only a matter of time.

Li Xuan didn't know this.

Under his operation, all the refugees were driven to the vicinity of Ding'an Mansion.

Under the leadership of Chen Tao, Ding'an Mansion had already re-reinforced the city wall in accordance with the imperial court's orders and at the same time stockpiled enough food for a year.

When seeing so many refugees appearing, the person responsible for defending the city was not good at making suggestions, but went directly to find Chen Tao.

When Chen Tao came to the city wall and saw so many refugees gathering underneath Ding'an City, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Seven county towns have been captured. If there are refugees, they are probably about two to three thousand people.

And now there are two to three thousand refugees gathered at the gate of Ding'an City.

In other words, all the refugees have gathered here in Ding'an City.

If there is no problem here, then it is really a ghost.

Seeing a large number of refugees kneeling below, the captain guarding the city also asked Chen Tao if he wanted to allow the refugees to enter the city.

Chen Tao took a look at the seemingly quiet place in the distance, then looked at the refugees below, and said directly to the captain: "Pour the food off the city wall and tell them that Ding'an City will not open. Also tell all the refugees,

Let them scatter and flee for their lives. If they gather together, no city will open the door to them."

Although the captain didn't understand what Chen Tao was doing, Chen Tao was the chief official of this city, and he would do whatever he said.

According to Chen Tao, the captain led his men to dump the food off the city wall, and at the same time shouted to the refugees below, telling them that Ding'an City had been sealed off and would not be opened again.

The other is to let them spread out and escape. If they gather together, there will be no city for them to enter.

Such an approach will naturally attract all kinds of abuse, but this is the order of the chief officer, and the captain can just follow it.

Li Xuan, standing in the distance, saw the situation below Ding'an City through his copper clairvoyance.

I also find it a bit tricky.

The chief official of Ding'an City is obviously different from what Li Xuan thought.

This chief officer is clearly a very alert person.

If you don't open the door at all, your cavalry will not be able to play any role at all.

And look at the directions in which the refugees who received the food dispersed and escaped.

Li Xuan also understood that if he did not take action at this time, his careful calculations would be ruined by Chen Tao alone.

"Attack."

Li Xuan decisively issued the order to attack.

Firstly, of course Li Xuan didn’t want to see his plan ruined, and secondly, Li Xuan didn’t have time to wait.

It was originally time to compete with Lizhu again. If he continued to delay, he would definitely lose.

Ding'an City is already his best target.

What Li Xuan wants to see now is to see if the chief official of Ding'an City is also a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

With the appearance of Li Xuan's cavalry, the refugees who had originally fled in all directions crowded crazily near the city gate, crying for the city gate to be opened.

The captain saw the cavalry appearing in the distance, and quickly asked all his men to enter their positions for defense.

But the refugees down there are also a big problem now.

Chen Tao, who has not yet left the city wall, also discovered the same problem.

The captain looked at Chen Tao, because only Chen Tao could do this order.

Chen Tao looked at the refugees below. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Shout to the refugees below and tell them to disperse and run away. Ding'an City will not open the city gate. Tell them that there is still a chance of survival if they run away now. If they don't run away, they will only be able to survive."

I can die here!"

When the captain heard Chen Tao's order, his expression couldn't help but change.

Even if these refugees start to run away now, their chance of survival will not be too high.

There is no way they can outrun a four-legged horse.

Moreover, Ding'an City is surrounded by plains on all sides, without any obstruction.

Running in such a wilderness is a living target, and there is no possibility of survival.
