Li Si was ordered to properly place the cavalry, and Lu Ping returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Xia Mo.

Immediately, Lu Ping summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

Of course, only Yue Fei and others can participate in the discussion, and no one else is qualified.

"Everyone, I have called you here to announce something important."

"According to intelligence from our allies..."

When everyone arrived, Lu Ping told Yue Fei and others the whole story.

Upon hearing the news, Yue Fei and others were all shocked.

At the same time, they were deeply impressed by Lu Ping's bold plan.

"My lord, if it is true as you say, our army has 120,000 cavalry, and we will definitely win this battle."

Li Jing spoke first.

"I agree with General Li's opinion."

"I agree as well."

Bai Qi and others said one after another.

"Well, it looks like we're on the same page."

"In that case, that's the plan."

"Let's discuss this in detail."

"First, the attacking force must move in batches and take detours to avoid being discovered by the enemy."

"Secondly, I'm still undecided about the timing of the attack."

“…”

As Lu Ping raised questions one by one, Yue Fei and others also started targeted discussions.

The discussion was quite lively and all the generals expressed their opinions.

Finally, by the evening, the discussion was over and a complete plan was formulated.

The whole plan is divided into two parts, one offensive and one defensive.

The offensive was led by Yue Fei, assisted by Bai Qi, Huo Qubing, Xiahou Yuan, Lu Bu and others, commanding 100,000 heavy cavalry and 20,000 infantry.

The defense was led by Lu Ping himself, assisted by Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Huang Zhong and others, commanding 60,000 infantry, 20,000 heavy cavalry and 5,000 light cavalry.

According to the plan, Lu Ping will defend the city for five days, and Yue Fei will launch an attack after five days.

This timing is also the result of comprehensive considerations.

If action is taken too early, the enemy may quickly come to support. If action is taken too late, Lu Ping's defense will become more difficult.

Five days is just enough time to put the enemy in a dilemma.

At the same time, in order to minimize the risk of being discovered by the enemy, the attacking forces will proceed to the target in batches.

In addition, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking Tang Fang and the other two, Lu Ping also appointed Su Dingfang to lead 20,000 heavy cavalry and 5,000 light cavalry to protect their safety.

To ensure that there would be no accidents, Lu Ping specially arranged two deputy generals for Su Dingfang, namely Pan Mei and Shang Qingshan.

This arrangement was also made with some considerations. If the enemy attacked Tang Fang and the other two at the same time, Su Dingfang would have to divide his forces, and might lose sight of one while focusing on another. With Pan Mei and Shang Qingshan in command, he would not be at a loss.

And this was not enough. Lu Ping finally dispatched another 10,000 infantrymen to garrison in the main city of Tang Fang and the other two to further strengthen the defense of the three.

Lu Ping didn't expect them to be able to defend the city. Tang Fang and his two companions were only level four, while the enemy was level ten. Even if they sent troops to garrison, it would be impossible to hold the city.

What Lu Ping needs is time. As long as they can hold on for one to two hours, Su Dingfang will be able to lead his troops to arrive.

By then, the heavy cavalry led by Su Dingfang will definitely be able to wipe out the attacking enemy forces.

Everything is ready, all that remains is to execute the plan.

Then, the soldiers went down to prepare separately.

An hour later, the first wave of 20,000 infantrymen, led by Xiahou Yuan, left the city and headed towards the target city.

Infantry moves more slowly and must set out first.

As night fell, the second wave of 40,000 heavy cavalry also left the city. This wave of troops was led by Yue Fei himself.

The remaining 60,000 cavalry will set off in three batches tomorrow, led by Bai Qi, Huo Qubing and Lu Bu respectively.

Similarly, the cavalry unit led by Su Dingfang will also leave the city tomorrow.

Gao Tianyi was indeed reliable. By the evening, Lu Ping had received all the resources.

These resources come from more than a dozen lords, ranging from two million to four million.

Tang Qing also did not let him down, and 10 million grains and 5 million iron ore were soon in place.

Lu Ping then sent a thank-you letter to the two of them.

It is conceivable that without their strong support, Lu Ping’s plan could not be implemented at all.

By the time everything was done, it was already late at night.

Seeing that Xia Mo had no intention of going back, Lu Ping knew that she wanted to stay with him, so he arranged for her to rest in his bedroom, while he slept in the outer room.

Although Xia Mo is a little shy, she is not a pretentious person.

Not to mention that she had already decided on Lu Ping, so what if they slept together?

............

The next morning, Lu Ping got up early and recruited all the remaining 60,000 heavy cavalry.

Half an hour later, Bai Qi and Su Dingfang led their troops to set off respectively. The departure time for Huo Qubing and Lu Bu will be at noon and evening respectively.

By the time all the troops had set out, there were only 40,000 defenders left in Luping City.

The 40,000 defenders faced an army of 200,000, and the manpower was obviously stretched, but Lu Ping didn't care.

Because Lu Ping still holds two trump cards in his hand, one is the pre-battle upgrade, and the other is the soldier recruitment card.

Lu Ping had obtained many soldier recruitment cards by completing various tasks before. Although he used some of them in the middle, he still had seventeen left.

There are five light cavalry recruitment cards, four each of spearman, sword and shield soldier, and archer recruitment cards.

One recruitment card can recruit one thousand soldiers, and seventeen cards can recruit seventeen thousand soldiers.

The quantity is not too much, but it can still play a big role at critical moments.

Of course, it is best not to use recruitment cards if possible.
