Nicholas Tu led the army away from Fushan County and set up camp there.
Inside the main tent of the army.
Nicholas Tu sat in the tent with a sullen look on his face.
He was very disappointed with today's battle.
He had originally thought that this battle would be an easy victory. However, he hadn't expected that it would be so difficult.
Nicholas Tu sat upright in the main hall.
Irma sat below him.
Nicholas Tu looked at Irma with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "The current situation is very unfavorable. Irma, what do you think we should do to break this stalemate? "
Irma thought about it carefully.
He was also in a difficult position.
He thought that attacking Fushan County wouldn't be a difficult task. However, Erma hadn't expected to encounter so many difficulties in Fushan County.
Even if they had the advantage of artillery fire, they couldn't make any progress.
It was impossible to take Fushan County.
Erma pondered the situation carefully, and after a short while, he said, "Prefectural Governor, in my opinion, there's no way that we'll be able to secure victory if we attack them by force."
Nicholas Tu said, "If we can't attack by force, what should we do?"
Irma said, "Since we can't attack by force, we can use other methods. We can use strategy."
Nicholas Tu said, "How?"
Irma said, "The simplest method is to incite civil strife among the people in the county. Then, we can rope in the people in the county and make them work for us. This is the simplest method. "
Nicholas Tu said, "Inciting civil strife among the people in Fushan County isn't an easy task!"
Irma said, "We have to try."
Nicholas Tu said, "Tell me the details."
Irma said, "Sir, I plan to personally go to the county. We will wait until the sky is completely dark tonight and sneak into the county. After all, we have already arranged for people to enter the county when we were preparing to attack. So, we can operate as long as we enter the county. "
"The most important thing is the news we received. Meng Jiu You became the county magistrate and relied on the merchant Du Qi to build an army. After exterminating the bandit Yan Three in the Great Desolate Mountain, he actually recruited Yan Three for his own use. "
"Yan Three, we're looking for a breakthrough."
"Yan San is a bandit. As long as we lure him with benefits, we will definitely win this battle."
Erma said, "Governor, my mission this time is to start instigating the citizens. At the same time, I will try to rope in Yan Three. No matter which one it was, it would be an excellent opportunity to make progress. Furthermore, as long as Yan San works for us, it means that a portion of the soldiers in Fushan County will be on our side. "
Nicholas Tu's eyes lit up.
Opportunity!
This was indeed an opportunity.
The army of Fushan County now had a certain level of fighting power.
Under this premise, Nicholas Butcher had no choice but to use Erma's strategy.
Nicholas took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Erma said, "It's not hard at all."
Nicholas Tu thought about it and said, "Sir, you can go and recruit Yan Three. You can state your conditions. As long as Yan San is willing to work for me, I can promise to let him take over Fu Shan County and become its County Magistrate after I destroy it. As long as Yan Three cooperates, everything will be fine. "
Erma said, "I understand!"
Nicholas Tu said, "Take some gold with you and get ready to set out."
"Yes!"
Erma bowed in acknowledgment before turning to leave.
After he left the tent, he returned to his own tent and carefully thought about every move he would make in the future. Right now, he had to make all the necessary arrangements. He had to think clearly about what to do next.
This was the only way he wouldn't mess things up and be at a loss.
Erma packed up and ate dinner. He waited until the sky was completely dark before he packed up and left the tent. The soldiers quickly brought him to the county.
If Erma wanted to sneak into the county, he could only rely on the soldiers to climb up the city walls. After climbing up the city walls, he sneaked into the county and went straight to the shop he planted in Fushan County.
Once he arrived, Erma went into hiding temporarily.
He didn't take any action.
The next morning.
After Erma woke up in the morning, he started making arrangements. He specially arranged for someone to contact the soldiers in the army and get someone to send a letter to Yan Three. He wanted to meet Yan Three in the county.
This kind of meeting was just a meeting and nothing else.
When Yan Three received the news, his heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, someone wanted to meet him at such a crucial time. There was something wrong.
Yan Three was now a loyal follower of Du Qi.
The original reason was simple. Xia was too powerful. After all, he could tell how powerful Xia Xia was from Du Qi's strength. Moreover, the soldiers who used to work for Yan Three were now loyal to Xia Xia. They all listened to Du Qi's arrangements.
If Yan Three had any ideas, he would be taken down by his subordinates before he could even incite them.
After all, the soldiers were treated very well.
In the army, this was a great opportunity.
Not only could they provide for their families, but they could also maintain their reputation. With this opportunity, no one would be willing to be a bandit.
Yan Three was also very satisfied with his current life.
It was fulfilling!
He didn't have to think about anything else. He only had to think about training his soldiers and increasing their combat strength.
This was a simple life.
This was the life Yan Three wanted.
Yan San pondered for a moment before he made up his mind. He no longer hesitated. However, he followed the location on the letter and went to the west of Fushan County. He went to a shabby wine shop.
He found Erma, who was dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat.
This was the agreement.
Erma wanted to meet Yan Three. The letter stated the time, location, and what Erma was wearing.
When Erma saw Yan Three, his lips curled up into a smile. From Erma's point of view, since Yan Three appeared, it meant that his persuasion would be successful.
If Yan Three ignored him, there would be no chance to persuade him.
Erma smiled and said, "Commander Yan, I've heard of your name for a long time. When I was under Prefect Nicholas Tu, I heard of your name. You have a foothold in Dahuang Mountain. It's easy to defend and hard to attack. Even Zhou Qing couldn't do anything to you. You're also the leader of all the bandits in Fushan County. "
Yan Three said, "You said that you're under Nicholas Tu. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? Or should I just take you down and hand you over? "
"Hahaha …"
Erma laughed. He seemed very confident.
Yan Three asked, "What do you mean? Why are you laughing?"
Erma said, "The reason why I'm laughing is simple. It's because Commander Yan has no intention of handing me over. Why would you try to scare me like this?"
Yan Three snorted and said, "Tell me. Why are you here?"
