The neighboring prefecture city is not far from Anqing Prefecture.
Zhu Yuan, along with a group of loyal soldiers, had already secretly infiltrated the city and blended in with the ordinary people.
Each of them had an ordinary appearance, blending into the bustling city without attracting anyone's attention.
Zhu Yuan looked up at the sky, calculating the time. This matter had been planned for a long time, and its success or failure depended on today.
At this moment, not far outside Anqing Prefecture, the Northern Hu people were lazily standing guard with their long spears.
Inside the tent, there was a lot of noise from drinking and making merry.
Among them, the Northern Hu general Dabu, who sat at the head of the table, pushed aside the soldier cutting mutton, picked up a lamb leg the size of a baby, and started to bite into it.
"General Dabu is mighty!"
The robust Northern Hu people below, dressed in strange clothes, were all amazed by Dabu.
What should have been a rude and unruly action was, in their eyes, transformed into the demeanor of a great general.
Hearing the praises of the crowd, Dabu felt incredibly powerful and extraordinary.
"Once we conquer this land, I, the general, will reward those who have distinguished themselves! Let's see which of our warriors is the bravest! This land will be awarded to the bravest one!"
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered loudly, believing that Anqing Prefecture was already theirs for the taking.
If you want it, you can get it with just a little attack.
At this moment, someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask, "General, when will we send troops to capture Anqing Prefecture?"
"My hands have been itching for this for ages!"
He couldn't wait to go into the city and see the panicked faces of the people.
The man's expression gradually turned ferocious as he recalled scenes he had witnessed before, and his blood began to boil.
I suddenly feel nostalgic for when I first entered Xinyang Prefecture, when young women and girls were readily available.
Who would have thought that in the past few months, while they were helping Prince Yang conquer other prefectures, all they encountered were old, toothless men.
There wasn't a trace of the girl in sight, not even the young children.
Dabu glanced at the speaker, pointed at him with his finger, and said with a helpless laugh, "Is that all you've got? Once this land is all ours, you won't have to worry about finding opportunities to practice."
Upon hearing this, the man chuckled, his fleshy face contorted into a grimace, making his already unattractive appearance even more hideous.
"Speaking of which! General, we've been here for so long, and apart from the first night we made our move, we've been idly hiding in the camp. When are we going to start the attack?"
The strategy for this attack was clearly different from that of other places.
In other places, due to the inaction of the imperial court and the fierce infighting between the third and fifth princes, there was simply no time to manage them.
Therefore, the obstacles that the Northern Hu people encountered along their journey were like ants; they were numerous, but in reality, they could be crushed with a single finger.
Dabu's smile faded as he recalled Yang Wang's words.
Before they came here, they had already made arrangements. They would first attract the attention of the people in Anqing Prefecture, and then Prince Yang would send people to infiltrate Anqing Prefecture to cooperate with them from the inside.
Dabu originally disdained this kind of thing, but from the very first day when they launched a surprise attack on Anqing Prefecture, they were utterly defeated by those who were completely unprepared.
Later, he sent scouts to explore the surrounding area, and only then did he realize the wonder of this place.
The difficulty of this place, being easy to defend and hard to attack, was something he had never encountered before in all the battles he had fought.
Therefore, he decided to wait here and cooperate with the King of Yang from within and without, according to the King's plan.
