After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

"Is everything done?" Liang Jiuan put down the book in his hand, coughed twice, and his face became even paler.

"In reply to Your Highness, it has been done." The man dressed as a guard said with a bow.

"Cough, cough, that's good." Liang Jiuan was half lying on the beauty couch, gently wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Is there really no turning back in this war?" the man dressed as a guard asked with a frown and a little sadness.

"There was a war, but I'm afraid I didn't..." Liang Jiuan started coughing violently before he finished speaking.

"If Your Highness had not used up his inner strength repeatedly in the battles, how could this have happened?!" "Xiao Hong, stop talking." Liang Jiuan stopped him.

Xiao Hong's face was full of indignation, but he didn't say anything. He just stood silently beside Liang Jiuan.

Liang Jiuan stood up and walked to the sand table in the big tent, looking at the sand table with a frown.

"I'm afraid Chang Jian has been intercepted..."

"Then..." Xiao Hong's face changed drastically, "Doesn't that mean we have lost our support troops?"

Xiao Hong looked directly at Liang Jiuan and said, "Your Highness, our retreat has been cut off!"

"Yes." Liang Jiuan coughed twice, "To be precise, we were besieged."

"Your Highness, can Chang Jian break out?" Xiao Hong said.

"Difficult." Liang Jiuan pondered for a moment, paused and said, "After all, the State of Chen sent Xu Du to reinforce Wu Fei. The enemy is numerous and we are few, so it is almost impossible to break out."

A soldier came to the front of the tent and said, "Report, there is military intelligence to report!"

"Come in." Liang Jiuan said.

"General, General Luo of Yuyang City has surrendered!" the soldier said after half-kneeling and saluting.

"You go down." Liang Jiuan nodded to indicate that he understood. After he gave the order, the soldiers retreated out of the tent.

Liang Jiuan's eyes suddenly became deep, and he clenched his right fist so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white. He seemed to feel a little weak all of a sudden and sat down on the beauty bed.

"Chang Jian may not be able to carry the family alone." Liang Jiuan said with a sigh.

Xiao Hong frowned, "General Chang could have built a fortress to protect himself in the future, but now he can only retreat..."

Liang Jiuan nodded, then stood up and walked to the sand table and changed the color of the small flag of Yuyang City.

A burst of chaotic horse hoof sounds was heard, "Urgent military information, urgent military information!" Outside the tent, a soldier on horseback stopped in front of the tent and shouted.

"Report, there is urgent military information to report!" the soldier dismounted and shouted.

"Come in." Liang Jiuan's expression was somewhat solemn.

"The State of Chen has sent General Sima Kong to support General Wu Fei with an army of 100,000." The soldier said after saluting.

"I understand. You can go down now." Liang Jiuan said.

The soldier lowered his head slightly and retreated.

The expression on Xiao Hong's face finally revealed despair, "They really want to annihilate us."

Liang Jiuan smiled lightly, "So my good brother is waiting for me here, I never expected that."

"What does your highness mean?" Xiao Hong was surprised.

Liang Jiuan nodded, "You are right, my good brother may have colluded with the State of Chen."

"Your Highness, he wants to use this war to get rid of you."

Liang Jiuan nodded, "That's what he thinks."

"But he may not be able to get what he wants. It's just that the poison in my body can no longer be suppressed, so I'm afraid I can't really let him get what he wants." Liang Jiuan said.

"But, Your Highness, your health is so poor that you can't threaten them at all. Why would they do this?!" Xiao Hong said indignantly.

Xiao Hong continued: "Your Highness, you..."

Xiao Hong stared at Liang Jiuan and said word by word: "Your Highness, have you thought of this a long time ago?"

"So, so, that's why you asked me to transfer all your money, farms, shops, and land to Madam Liu and Concubine Ning. You also left your last words and wrote a suicide note." The more Xiao Hong thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Before, he thought that the prince had no confidence in his health and his condition had worsened.

Now it seems that it is not that simple.

"Well, when my brother asked the government to let us pursue the victory, I thought of it." Liang Jiuan sighed and continued, "But I still hold a glimmer of hope."

I hoped that my brother would not do anything too ruthless, but he did do something so ruthless that he actually joined forces with the State of Chen to encircle and annihilate me here.

"Recently, the emperor has been bedridden and ordered the second prince to be regent, but he has been spending all his time scheming against his own brothers." Xiao Hong said angrily.

"It's useless to say angry words. You should think carefully about how to deal with it." Liang Jiuan coughed several times again.

He sat back on the couch, closed his eyes tightly, his long feathery eyelashes trembling. He pressed several acupoints and adjusted his internal breath to suppress the toxins in his body.

After a while, Liang Jiuan opened his eyes.

Xiao Hong stood aside, his eyes full of worry, "Your Highness, you shouldn't have come this time. You have every reason to reject him and nip the Second Prince's conspiracy in the bud."

"You can hide for a while, but not forever. As long as my mother and my little disciple are safe, it's good. Every day I live is a blessing." Liang Jiuan said with a faint smile.

Liang Jiuan stood up and looked at the sand table, falling into deep thought.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "Our biggest problem right now is actually lack of food."

Liang Jiuan looked at Xiao Hong and smiled slyly, "If you don't have food, just go and rob."

At this moment, Xiao Hong seemed to see the real Liang Jiuan. This guy looked like a flower on the mountain top enjoying the breeze and bright moon, elegant and indifferent, but in fact, he was very black-bellied.

"We cannot reveal ourselves to the enemy. The most important thing in war is the information gap," said Liang Jiuan.

Xiao Hong was stunned, "No, Your Highness, you are going to rob it, and you are not exposed to the enemy?!"

Xiao Hong looked at Liang Jiuan with an expression as if to say, "Come on, are you kidding me?"

Liang Jiuan said calmly: "It's a lie, this is what I think..."

Liang Jiuan talked to Xiao Hong, and Xiao Hong's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, you are still taller."

Then Xiao Hong went downstairs happily to make arrangements.

The next day, the army was divided into several units according to Liang Jiuan's instructions, including those for collecting food, protection, vigilance, guarding the camp, etc.

This grain-stealing unit is actually, uh, a grain-robbing unit.

As everyone knows, if you are going to rob someone, it will be difficult to avoid being exposed.

Liang Jiuan thought of a dirty trick.

Liang Jiuan ordered people to pile up many earthen mounds in the army, and each mound was covered with rice. Then he asked Xiao Hong to arrange the soldiers in the army to line up, each holding a rice bag and pretending to distribute food.

It’s not enough to just disguise yourself, Chen Jun has to know about it.

Liang Jiuan sent people to deliberately call villagers from nearby villages.

The soldiers brought with them many ladies, mothers, and husbands.

Liang Jiuan asked them kindly, "What is the weather like during this time of year in previous years?"

The lady in blue cloth replied, "It should be sunny these days, the weather is good."

"Are there many mountain wolves here?"

“Very few wolves come down now.”

Liang Jiuan asked some questions one after another, and then casually let the villagers see the "rice mountain" in the army and the distribution of food.

Liang Jiuan believed that these villagers had been under the rule of the Chen State for decades and would definitely be pro-Chen.

By now, the State of Chen should have known that our Great Qi has sufficient food and grass.

But, in this case, what if Chen’s army decides to attack?
