Anding County, Li Ru and Niu Fu led an army of 5,000 people quietly in the direction of Anding County, although Anding County is not currently unified with strong characters, but the internal forces are complicated, and there are not a few cities controlled by Haoqiang and family, and if you don't pay attention to it, if you cause these people to resist desperately, it is still a little troublesome to occupy Anding County, and what is even more troublesome is that Anding County has Qiang people.

If the most harmful to Liangzhou is the Qiang people, in the seventh year of Guanghe, two Qiang rebellions from Beidi County, Anding County, Jincheng, Longxi and other places, Liangzhou's continuous rebellion made the treasury empty, and then the Han experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which made the already crumbling Han even more dangerous.

Just when the Bingzhou army sent troops from Hedong to attack Gaoling, Li Ru and Niu Fu secretly moved their soldiers and horses to the Pengyang generation.

The most powerful in Anding County is Yang Qiu, Yang Qiu has a good way of governing the army, coupled with a body of martial arts is not weak, the power in Anding County is becoming stronger and stronger, and in recent years, it has occupied three cities such as Linjing, the county governor of Anding County.

The actual controller of Pengyang is the Zhang family in the city, the Zhang family has been in Pengyang for many years, and it is still standing after the war in Liangzhou, but the strength of the family is greatly reduced, and then the turtle retreats in Pengyang, in Pengyang, the Zhang family has the absolute right to speak, and there are two thousand troops belonging to the Zhang family in Pengyang City, which is a force to be reckoned with in Anding County.

What the Zhang family in Pengyang is most afraid of is not the threat of coming to Beidi County, because over the years, the Zhao family of Beidi County has always had a good relationship with the Zhang family, and the two sides communicate with each other, and the most anxious thing for the Zhang family is the threat from Yang Qiu, who has more than 5,000 soldiers.

Zhao Yang is the spokesperson of Beidi County secretly controlled by Li Ru, the Zhao family was originally a relatively large family in Beidi County, but many years of war and the secret competition between the families, making the strength of the Zhao family weaker and weaker, to Li Ru, Niu Fu led the army to Beidi County, the Zhao family has been ruined, at this time, Li Ru found Zhao Yang of the Zhao family, with the support of Li Ru in military strength, the Zhao family quickly rose, and eliminated the big family of Beidi County, and became the largest family in Beidi County in one fell swoop, Of course, Zhao Yang understood that all this was given to the Zhao family by Li Ru, if it weren't for Li Ru's planning and Niu Fu's elite soldiers, the Zhao family would be more difficult to rise in Beidi County than to ascend to the sky.

Regarding Li Ru's words, Zhao Yang obeyed his words, and witnessed how Li Ru encroached on Beidi County step by step.

At the beginning of the attack on Anding County, Li Ru asked Zhao Yang to go to Linjing in person and persuaded the Zhang family's family to advocate Yang.

Zhang Yang also felt the urgency of the situation, with reinforcements from Beidi County, and he also had some more chances of winning against Yang Qiu, although Beidi County was very small, it was still a county, and Zhao Yang was able to go to Pengyang in person, which was enough to show the sincerity of Beidi County.

After the news that Zhao Yang led the army to Linjing was known to Yang Qiu, Yang Qiu did not have the light wind in the past, he wanted to learn from the Zhao family of Beidi County to take Anding County as his own step by step, but Zhao Yang led the arrival of the troops, so that his plan changed.

The 5,000-strong army was stationed outside Pengyang City, Zhang Yang was overjoyed, and invited Zhao Yang to the banquet in the mansion that night.

Zhao Yang happily went, and that night, the guards who followed Zhao Yang to the city for a banquet quietly seized control of the West Gate, and then the army of Beidi County swarmed in and took Peng Yang as their own.

After waking up, Zhang Yang saw that the general trend had gone, although he was very resentful of Zhao Yang in his heart, he could only choose to take refuge, from beginning to end, Li Ru did not show up, even Niu Fu was only in the army to control the army, after this incident, Zhao Yang was more convinced of Li Ru, originally for the matter of Beidi County befriending Pengyang Zhang's family, Zhao Yang was a little disapproving, although Pengyang Zhang's family was powerful, there was only one dilapidated Peng Yang in his hands.

Now it reflects the original foresight, and it does not cost a single soldier to capture Pengyang, which makes Zhao Yang more confident in the next capture of Anding County.

The Zhao family can be said to be prosperous with Li Ru at this time, only when Li Ru's strength becomes stronger, the Zhao family will be stronger and more prosperous, for things in the army, on the surface, Zhao Yang is the Taishou of Beidi County, but in fact, the army is firmly in the hands of Li Ru and Niu Fu, and the Zhao family is difficult to get involved at all.

Looking at the hideous scar on Li Ru's face, Zhang Yang shuddered for no reason, especially Li Ru's gaze gave people the feeling of coldness, as if it could penetrate his inner thoughts.

"Since the head of the Zhang family has taken refuge in this official, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the Zhang family, as long as he cooperates with this official, this official guarantees that the Zhang family will be stronger." Li Ru said with a smile.

"I haven't asked for your name yet." Zhang Yang hurriedly got up and saluted.

Zhao Yang also looked at him curiously, he saw that Li Ru was not a few, and he never knew his name.

"This official Lu Ru." Li Ru said with a smile.

"Lord Lu." Zhang Yang saluted again, in fact, he didn't pay attention to Li Ru's official position in his heart, and now Liangzhou is chaotic, as long as there are some soldiers in his hands, he can be called a general, and he dares to call himself an official if he has some territory in his hands, as for getting an appointment from the imperial court, there is no need to be so troublesome.

"Following this official, you will naturally have the benefits, and when the time comes, you will naturally understand that the most important thing at present is to capture Linjing." Li Rudao.

Zhao Yang and Zhang Yang nodded and said yes, Linjing is the seat of stable county governance, and occupying Linjing is equivalent to occupying Anding County in a certain sense.

"My lord, there are Yang Qiu's five thousand troops in Linjing City, and it is not easy to break through." Zhang Yang said.

"Just follow Lord Lu's orders then." Niu Fu, who had been silent, said suddenly.

"This is General Lu Fu, the chief general of the Beidi County Army." Zhao Yang hurriedly introduced.

Looking at Zhao Yang's attitude towards the two, Zhang Yang suddenly felt that these two people were the masters of Beidi County, and Zhao Yang was the entourage.

After agreeing on the matter of attacking Linjing, Li Cheng left a thousand defenders, and six thousand troops came in the direction of Linjing, to the surprise of Zhang Yang, who was traveling with the army, the army of Beidi County did not commit any crimes against the people along the way, and even the people's crops would not be trampled, such an army was absolutely rare in Liangzhou.

Yang Qiu learned that Beidi County united with the army of Pengyang County to attack Linjing, and immediately became furious, ordered four thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and went out of the city to prepare for a decisive battle with Li Ru and others.

After defeating the armies of the two sides, not only can he greatly enhance his prestige in Liangzhou, but he may also be able to take over Beidi County in one fell swoop, so that he has become a pivotal figure in Liangzhou.
