Chapter 74 The Real Purpose
Looking at Zhang Yu's camp 500 meters in front of him, Lu Fan turned his head to look at Jiang Shang.
"Ziya, what do you think Zhang Yu wants to do?"
At this moment, he has determined that Zhang Yu should be the person who was taken away by the Holy Church envoy in the mouth of Sun Shenghu and Zhao Tiansheng.
That is to say, Zhang Yu and the four major families have been preparing for rebellion under the plan of the so-called Holy Church for a long time.
Even if he wiped out the Wang family and caught them off guard, they would never be so chaotic.
The chaos of the four major families in the city can barely be justified.
But Zhang Yu led 100,000 elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army but could not capture a city wall, which is unreasonable.
Even if Zhang Yu is a straw bag who doesn't know any military, he can easily capture the north wall of Hanyang City with only human wave tactics.
But that guy didn't do this, but deliberately gave himself two waves of heads.
Including when the 20,000 troops were in chaos under the city just now, Zhang Yu had the absolute ability to easily stop it.
But he also didn't do anything, just watching the 20,000 troops in chaos.
Lu Fan couldn't figure out such a tricky operation.
Facing Lu Fan's question, Jiang Shang shook his head: "My Lord, this person has no rules and is hard to figure out."
At this point, he pondered and said: "But one thing is certain, his real purpose is definitely not to attack the city, but I have two guesses."
"Tell me?" Lu Fan looked curious.
"First, their attack on the city is fake, and they are taking the opportunity to consume their troops, and they are taking this opportunity to collect blood and death on the battlefield."
Hearing this first guess, Lu Fan nodded.
He also guessed this point, but the key point is that the other party did it very obviously and didn't cover it up at all.
"Second, their real target should not be Hanyang City, nor us."
"Huh?" This guess was a bit unexpected to Lu Fan, and a curious look appeared on his face.
"If you hadn't destroyed the Wang and Li families in succession, their target might be Hanyang City and the entire northern border.
But you destroyed the Wang family as soon as you arrived in Hanyang City, which alerted them and forced them to act in advance.
In addition, Sun Shenghu and Zhao Tiansheng rebelled temporarily, so they had to change their target temporarily."
Listening to Jiang Shang's analysis, Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously:
"Since their target is not Hanyang City, nor is it us, then who is it, could it be..."
Lu Fan looked to the northwest, and Jiang Shang also looked over, took a deep breath and said:
"If my guess is correct, General Gu and the 200,000 Zhenbei Army are their real targets."
When saying this, Jiang Shang's face became extremely solemn, and there was even a trace of worry that could not be concealed.
Since the other party dared to change the target, they must have made sufficient preparations.
When Lu Fan heard Jiang Shang's bold guess, his face became ugly.
At this moment, the 100,000 Zhenbei Army has lost more than 5,000 people, and the loss is already very large.
If something happens to the 200,000 Zhenbei troops under Gu Tiefeng, it will be really troublesome.
After all, the reason why the northern border is safe and sound is entirely because of the existence of these 300,000 Zhenbei troops.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan immediately asked Luo Cheng to hurry up and remind Gu Tiefeng.
However, before he could make any move, two captains of ten thousand men from Zhang Yu's side rode out.
One of them rushed to the camp where Gu Tiefeng was located in the northwest, while the other galloped directly to the camp where Lu Fan and others were.
In a minute, the galloping captain of ten thousand men had already arrived in front of Lu Fan and others.
Looking at this captain of ten thousand men, Lu Fan's eyes flashed with murderous light.
This guy is a diehard fan of Zhang Yu and a staunch rebel. In his eyes, this man has long been a corpse.
After the captain of ten thousand men looked at Lu Fan, his heart suddenly shuddered and an inexplicable fear emerged.
"What a terrible look!"
With great fear in his heart, he quickly turned his eyes away from Lu Fan and said:
"My general invites you to come to the field for a talk. If you don't have the courage, forget it."
After saying this quickly, this guy didn't dare to stay at all, and rode away quickly.
Because he clearly felt a terrible killing intent locked on him.
If he left a little later, he was afraid that his life would be left here.
Watching this guy riding away, Luo Cheng asked with murderous intent:
"My lord, do you want me to kill this guy?"
"It's just a dead man, don't worry about it." Lu Fan shook his head indifferently and said: "Gong Ran, Zi Ya, follow me to the field to meet them."
After saying this, he turned and looked at Lu Chuan and Ji Pingchang.
"If the 70,000 rebels make any moves, don't hesitate, just start a war."
"Yes!"
After arranging these, Lu Fan took Jiang Shang and Luo Cheng to the center of the three-way confrontation.
With Jiang Shang and Luo Cheng around, Lu Fan was not worried about any danger.
When Lu Fan and the other two went to the center of the field, two people from the northwest camp rode their horses to the center of the field.
These two people were Gu Tiefeng and the right lieutenant Sun Wenquan.
Lu Fan looked at the northwest camp from a distance and did not see Li Cunxiao.
If Li Cunxiao showed up, his tower-like figure could not be hidden at all and could be spotted at a glance.
When Lu Fan looked at Gu Tiefeng and Sun Wenquan from a distance, Gu Tiefeng and Sun Wenquan also looked at Lu Fan.
After looking at Lu Fan and the other two, Gu Tiefeng's attention fell on the three thousand golden fire cavalry.
"It's really the peerless iron cavalry!"
Gu Tiefeng was very moved, and his eyes were even more fiery, even more fiery than seeing a peerless beauty.
In fact, he had received the news when the golden fire cavalry appeared in the city.
But hearing is false and seeing is true.
When Lu Fan came out of the city gate with three thousand golden fire cavalry, he knew that this was definitely an invincible iron cavalry.
This made him very curious.
This rumored waste prince first had various top-level strongmen under his command, and now there is such an invincible iron cavalry.
Where did these come from? Could it be that the one in the imperial capital arranged it?
Four people from Zhang Yu's side rode to the field, led by Zhang Yu, the right general of the Zhenbei Army.
The other three were not Zhang Yu's trusted captain, but three guards wearing guard uniforms.
The three teams slowly rushed to the center of the field from the three camps.
Under the shining silver moonlight, the plain was illuminated as bright as day, which did not affect the sight at all.
So they could see each other clearly.
The people from the three camps also stared at the field, ready to deal with various changes at any time.
In this way, the distance between the three teams was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in the center of the field where the three parties were confronting each other...
