The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 143 Counterattack on Jingzhou

The bearded Prince Lu received another tip-off that the city gate was about to be lost, but outside the city, the Prince's army and the Prince Huai's army were fighting fiercely, which temporarily alleviated the embarrassment of the Lu army in defending the city.

"Your Highness, if we don't find a way to send back reinforcements, no matter which side wins at the city gate, their goal will still be our gate."

Prince Lu was so angry that he slammed the table and glared. Of course he knew the purpose of Prince Huai and his army.

Over the past year, his troops had finally conquered several cities in the northwest. Unexpectedly, his hometown was now coveted by several forces.

King Lu was so angry that his liver ached. He secretly cursed the rebels in his heart for using such despicable means, lacking martial ethics, and being unpresentable.

"Immediately send someone to Yingzhou to repatriate the garrison troops."

Upon hearing this, the trusted general was shocked. The Battle of Yingzhou City had consumed most of their Lu army's strength to capture the city, and now many enemy forces were still eyeing Yingzhou covetously. If they sent back the troops stationed in Yingzhou City at this time, they were afraid that Yingzhou City would fall again.

Although he thought so in his heart, his confidant dared not disobey. After all, Jingzhou City was the prince's fiefdom, and he could not lose his home even if he lost any part of it.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The King of Lu knew very well the consequences of sending back the generals from Yingzhou, but the Central Plains must not be abandoned.

Xiao Ce was very happy after defeating the reinforcements of Prince Lu last night. He ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot for a few days and adjust their morale to prepare for the battle at the gate of Jingzhou.

Zhou Chunfeng sat astride a rock outside the tent and bandaged the wound on his arm himself.

At this time, Deputy General Qin brought him a water naan: "Hey, Lao Zhou, drink some water."

Zhou Chunfeng raised his eyes and glanced at him coldly. He really didn't want to complain about him being stingy.

Everyone in the army knew that Deputy General Qin was addicted to alcohol. He would drink a pot of wine before every battle, and on weekdays he would drink wine as if it were water to quench his thirst.

Deputy General Qin was well aware of his expression and said with a grin, "Look at you. Take a sip and you'll know."

After hearing this, Zhou Chunfeng reached out to take the water bag, took a sip, and raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.

A burning sensation came from my throat, and I let out a long sigh of relief: "Thank you."

Deputy General Qin discovered that Zhou Chunfeng, despite his cold demeanor, was actually very easy to please. He raised his chin happily and said, "In a few days, if we successfully capture Jingzhou City, I'll treat you to a meal and a drink every day."

Zhou Chunfeng: ...

It has to be said that the rebels' positive self-esteem is something worth learning from and praising.

As he was speaking, a soldier came in hurriedly and reported, "Deputy General Zhou, Deputy General Qin, the master would like to invite you two to the main tent for a meeting."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chunfeng and Deputy General Qin looked at each other silently and went to the main tent together.

Xiao Ce, who was waiting inside the tent, saw the two men come in and immediately waved, "Old Zhou, Old Qin, I just intercepted a tip that the King of Lu has sent spies from the city to Yingzhou."

Deputy General Jiang nodded and said, "It seems that the gates of Jingzhou are about to be breached. The King of Lu is planning to sacrifice his chariot to save his king."

"Yingzhou City should have been an important base for Wang's army. It took Wang's army several months of attacks to capture the city. If the Lu army moved from Yingzhou, Wang's army could have recaptured the city." The speaker was Lieutenant General Xiao.

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Qin's eyes flashed with a strange look: "Since this is the case, why don't we take this opportunity to capture Jingzhou City."

Zhou Chunfeng, who was silent, shook his head and said, "No."

Xiao Ce, who was planning this, was startled when he heard this and asked curiously, "What's wrong with that?"

"The King of Lu's trusted confidants are all renowned generals with countless battles under their belts. They conquered Yingzhou with great difficulty. Even if they send troops back to Jing, they will ensure the entire city is well defended." Zhou Chunfeng finished his remarks, adding, "Anything we can imagine, the Lu generals will undoubtedly guess, and they may even seize the opportunity to annihilate the attacking forces in one fell swoop."

Zhou Chunfeng's words undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on everyone, and he was just short of saying the plain words: [Delivering food to your door].

"So, in your opinion, how should our rebel army attack next?" asked Deputy General Qin.

Zhou Chunfeng was silent after hearing this, and his eyes met Xiao Ce's cunningly. It was as if in an instant, the two seemed to have reached a consensus.

"Cutting into the back gate of Jingzhou!" the two said in unison.

The three deputy generals beside him were all stunned. Those who knew about it had reached a tacit agreement between the two, while those who didn't thought that the old man and Lao Zhou had a tacit understanding.

Deputy General Xiao paused for a moment and raised the key point: "But there are still Lu troops guarding the city. Isn't it too risky to attack from the rear?"

Now their rebel army has less than 20,000 soldiers left, and this is their last bet!

Xiao Ce laughed and said, "No, since the city gate is vulnerable, King Lu will definitely concentrate his forces there. We are attacking them by surprise."

Zhou Chunfeng nodded and said: "We should take advantage of the time when the Lu army generals from Yingzhou return to Jingzhou to provide support and capture Jingzhou City. This is the best opportunity for the rebels to revolt."

Lieutenant General Jiang thought for a moment and said, "But, there are still Huai and Wang armies outside the city gate. If we get reinforcements from the Lu army, can our remaining troops really hold the gate of Jingzhou?"

"Play it by ear!"

Xiao Ce laid the foundation for the battle plan with just one sentence.

As a result, the rebel army, which was supposed to rest for several days, immediately got ready, secretly bypassed the gate of Jingzhou, and attacked the rear city directly!

After coming out of the main tent, Zhou Chunfeng immediately called Ming Yi and explained his plan in detail. That night, Ming Yi led 20 guards and sneaked into Jingzhou City as quickly as possible, avoiding the enemy's eyes.

Many days later, Changsheng Island.

In the afternoon, Jiang Li asked the little girls to review the acupuncture points of the human body in class. An Ge'er supported his little face with one hand and dozed off again and again.

Ang'er said: I'm sleepy, but I don't want to leave my mother!

Once when his forehead was about to hit the table, the little guy opened his sleepy eyes dazedly and accidentally saw a pair of older sisters at the opposite desk, whispering and arguing.

The older girl pointed at the side of her companion's neck and said, "No, no, the Shutu point is right here on the side of the neck."

The companion frowned and pointed at the other person's side center: "Lady Li said it's at this position."

At this moment, the sound of discussion in the classroom gradually blew away the sleepiness in Ang'er's head. The little guy rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched his hands, looked up at his mother who was sitting on the podium and writing something with her head down.

Ang'er got up from his seat out of boredom. Seeing the two older sisters opposite him still arguing in a low voice, he didn't know what came into his mind. He got up and ran forward, and gently tapped the inside of one of the sisters' neck with his jade-like index finger.

Then, with a serious face, he said, "Mother said, it's here!"

The two little girls were startled when they heard this. The little brat in front of them was their future master, so they stood up from their seats respectfully in fear.

Seeing this, An Ge'er blinked in confusion and muttered, "It was mother who said that. You are all wrong."

At this moment, Jiang Li also raised his head and looked at An Ge'er in front of him in surprise.

Just then, An Ge'er raised his hand and pointed at the side of his neck slightly inward, then turned around and asked Jiang Li, "Mother, is this right? Is this right?"

The child is less than three years old and can barely hold his pee or feces. His tender little face is full of seriousness.

Jiang Li looked at An Ge'er in disbelief, put down the brush in his hand, and waved to him: "An Ge'er, come to mother."

"Uh-huh."

Ang'er twisted his little body and ran to Jiang Li: "Mommy, give me a hug~"

Jiang Li: ...

She reached out and held the child's arms. "Ang'er, do you know the acupuncture points? Have you been listening to your mother's lectures?"

Little Ange blinked in confusion, unsure of what his mother was saying, yet seemingly understanding. He tilted his head to think for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Okay, tell mother where the Shuitu acupoint is."

An Ge'er smiled when he heard this, and reached out to touch the spot on the side of Jiang Li's neck: "Here."

Jiang Li looked at An Ge'er with eyes full of shock and disbelief.

There are many acupoints on the human neck, and the Shuitu point is the easiest to identify incorrectly, especially for women. To confirm this point, you must first understand the locations of the Renying point and the Qishe point.

"Where is the Renying acupoint?"

Ang'er pointed his finger slightly upwards: "Here."

Got it!
