That night, the Military Affairs Office.

Dong Jihe and Wang Zhu were sitting opposite each other. Dong Jihe was sorting out the letter in his hand. Wang Zhu held an abacus and his fingers were plucking rapidly, and it kept crackling.

Wang Xiao walked up and asked, "Second brother has calculated?"

Wang Zhu was very focused on tying the abacus. After a while, she picked up her pen and wrote a line of numbers. She said: "Come on, after the Linqing City is broken, the anti-military food and grass can only last for another ten days."

"The King of Hell of Wu can still rob and rob..."

"I'll count it, it's only ten days."

Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work in the second brother."

He tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly: "I asked Du Zhenghe and Gao Chengyi to lead their troops to harass him. Tang Jie did not take the opportunity to attack Dezhou. His purpose of marching west was very clear."

"The camp in the north of his city is empty." Dong Jihe flipped through the letter and said slowly: "It seems that he is going to get Linqing again in person?"

“It’s possible.”

"If I were Tang Jie, I would have made such a choice." Dong Jihe said slowly, "We are all in Texas. He predicted that we would not dare to abandon Texas, so we would not have to surround us anymore. At the moment, they lack food and grass, and there is no better choice."

"He actually led all his troops to attack Linqing, and we can't stop him."

"Linqing only has three thousand soldiers and horses, and he can't defend it." Xia Xiangwei thought for a while and said, "It really doesn't work. I inform General Qin to burn Linqing's stored food and let Tang Jiebai go."

"Twenty-hundred thousand stones of grain and grass, I can't finish it in one or two days..."

While talking, seeing Wang Xiao’s brows frowning tighter and tighter, Dong Jihe couldn’t help but ask, “What are the Marquis thinking?”

"I didn't expect that Tang Jie had such great courage to really give up the city's north camp. He wasn't afraid that I would take Zhou Yan away."

"Will the Marquis run away?"

"No, Texas is a very important part of our next step. The discomfort is here. They saw my thoughts very clearly and decided that I would not give up Texas. So I was thinking, if we kill Wu Tong and occupy Linqing, is it better for Meng Jiu to calculate?"

"He's fine?" Xia Xiangwei shuddered.

Wang Xiao said slowly: "Look, the Linqing Cao Cang was originally in the hands of King Yan of Wu, and the distribution of anti-military food and grass was the final decision of King Yan of Wu. But now that Wu Tong is dead, Tang Jie has an excuse to conquer Linqing by himself. King Yan of Wu has also changed his original passive and negligent attitude, as if he wants to flatten Dezhou?

The next offensive will inevitably be intensified. How to calculate... For the Tang Jie team?

It seems to be beneficial without any harm."

Xia Xiangwei said: "But as long as we can defend Linqing, they will have no food and grass?"

You can only withdraw your troops.”

Wang Xiao was silent for a moment.

One thing he didn't say is?

He found out that he had a fight with Meng Jiu, and he suddenly lost confidence.

I thought I had won the first game of Meng Jiu?

It was only now that I suddenly realized... there was no competition. However, I only realized Meng Jiu's thoughts by myself now.

Is he worthy of being Qianqian's master?

A single story about strategy?

I am indeed far from being.

So, I suddenly lost my confidence...

But Wang Xiao couldn't speak clearly to others in this state of mind, so he had to continue: "They only have ten days of food and grass, and so many infantry and siege equipment will take three to four days to reach Linqing?

Keep Linqing City for at least six days?

It's just at least."

"good."

"With the 3,000 people from Qinshanqu can not be defended for more than six days, I plan to bring a cavalry to support Linqing City when the Tangjie army arrives..."

~~

Linqing City.

The city changed hands again less than a month after being occupied by the anti-army.

When Qin Shanqu led his troops to capture this place, although the rebel army had lost its chief general, there were still stubborn resistance. The soldiers and horses on both sides also experienced some fighting outside the city.

in addition?

The elite old camp brought into the city also ransacked before escaping.

This commercial city in the north of the Chu Dynasty was finally inevitably traumatized, and the prosperous pier that once sang and danced to peace were full of devastation.

these days?

All the people of Linqing City scolded Wu Tong for being cruel and tyrannical. Is his cruelty to indulge his soldiers to roam the market?

Every day, more than a dozen people are bullied and died. Now that the Chu army has recaptured the city, thousands of innocent people have been destroyed overnight...

Is it hard to be happy?

Death is also painful. What is the people of Linqing even more worried about?

Sooner or later, the thief will attack Linqing again.

"look?

There are only a few people in the official army..."

Qin Shanqu, who had only a few people, was responsible for the city wall defense, while Shi Gong began to manage the city's public security for him.

After the initial busyness passed, Linqing City finally calmed down from this small war.

Shi Gong finally had time to deal with a small matter.

He wanted to release the "poisonous spider" he caught...

The Shepherd, Hua Ye, Cai Wuzhen, Greyhound and others didn't want to get close to Gu Zheyan anymore. They were not very able to accept twins, let alone a twin who could bite people. They felt so frightened when they saw it. But they couldn't help but wonder how Shi Gong controlled him, so they decided to go and take a look.

After Gu Zheyan injured Wu Tong, Wu Tong quickly pierced his eyes with his fingers. But he didn't let go of such severe pain. Wu Tong pinched his face and crushed his teeth. At that time, Gu Zheyan fainted. Wu Tong's personal guard was in a hurry to treat him, but he didn't have time to deal with it immediately.

Not long after, Wu Tong died and the Chu army attacked the city. No one could care about Gu Zheyan anymore. Shi Gong asked someone to carry him back to treat his wounds.

During this period, Man Niang wanted to kill him, but Shi Gong didn't stop him. She just asked: "I want to know why he is so cruel to you, but can he obey someone's orders? I'll take you to see it in two days..."

After that night, Man Niang felt more and more desolate as sheepman Hua Ye and others behind Shi Gong's expressions as if they were watching a show.

——Haha, people like me will be the laughing stock of others for the rest of their lives...

The group walked along the canal on the long street in the moonlight. Gu Zheyan in front was blindfolded and supported by Shi Gong, without saying a word. Even though he was injured so seriously, he still maintained his graceful posture when he walked.

As he walked, the shepherd suddenly said, "Do you know how Genghis Khan died?"

"You're dying of illness."

The shepherd smiled and said, "When I was in the army, I heard a saying that when he conquered the Western Xia Kingdom, he asked the Western Xia princess to be captured. Then, when the Western Xia princess was sleeping, he also bite it in one bite..."

"Nothing nonsense." Hua Ye said: "He fell off his horse and died while conquering Xixia."

"I died of illness." Cai Wuzhen said lightly.

Man Niang suddenly laughed as she heard this.

She was a brothel woman and didn't care much about people making trouble in front of her. But at this moment, whether it was someone else's jokes or Gu Zheyan's jokes. This is true for human nature. Even Genghis Khan, can't escape such a fate?

After a while, the group arrived in front of a yard.

This yard is extremely elegant and obviously expensive. When you open the door, the courtyard is well decorated, and the floral decorations are obviously as beautiful as a great man.

When I entered the hall again, I saw that the furniture and porcelain were also extraordinary.

Gu Zheyan couldn't see it, turned his head and asked, "Uncle Aliu, are you here? Are you here?"

His teeth were broken, and his voice was no longer as usual.

Someone brought a tied man from behind, but the tied man was a middle-aged man with broken legs, with an ordinary appearance.

Shi Gong nodded and asked someone to untie the strip of cloth from the tied person's mouth.

"Ayan! What's wrong with your eyes?!" The man with broken legs screamed and cried heartbrokenly.

"Uncle Six, don't cry." Gu Zheyan seemed to smile and shouted, "I have done everything the hero told me, so they let you go. It's okay... it's okay..."

Man Niang asked herself about her dear treatment, but she had never felt that he was so sincere. Her eyes immediately flowed down and she cried, "Who is he you?!"

Gu Zheyan did not answer, and groped out his hand, wanting to find Uncle Aliu.

Shi Gong held his collar and said, "Answer her, who is you."

"Uncle Aliu is my benefactor and my father. He is the only one in this world who is kind to me..."

"Aren't I good enough to you?" Man Niang shouted, rushed up and wanted to scratch him with her nails. She was pulled by Master Hua.

"All my money, my body, everything I have given to you... How did you treat me?!"

"What are you?" Gu Zheyan shouted: "You are just greedy for my beauty. Uncle Aliu treats me sincerely..."

When he said this, his voice gradually became lowered: "I was beaten, scolded, and locked up in a dark room. They taught me how to eat, walk and talk, and how to please men and women... Such a life will last ten years!"
