I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

As time went by, Gu Dingbei finally revealed the truth!!

The two were silent for a long time! ! Now there are only 8 Zhenbei troops left in the city, barely able to defend Jiangcheng! ! Gu Dingbei and Gu Dinglian brought nearly 20 Zhenbei troops, so such a loss is not small.

Jiangcheng is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. There is no spare energy to recover the other 9 cities in the Yellow Sand Land! !

I can only recuperate in Jiangcheng and look for opportunities.

The two of them were frowning, and Gu Dinglian came in, "Brother! Jiangzhou Prefecture!!"

Jiang Shangru stood up to greet him, "General Dinglian!"

"Just reported that the person sent to deliver the message back to the Northern Frontier has disappeared!!"

Gu Dingbei stood up, "What?"

They cleared all the obstacles they encountered on their way to Jiangcheng. After they entered Jiangcheng, they actually blocked it again?

It can be seen that the strength of the virtuous king should not be underestimated. It is not just the Jingyang Army. The Zhenbei Army was able to break through and enter Jiangcheng, and the virtuous king also did it on purpose.

"It seems that they really want to hold us back and lure us into Jiangcheng!! The real reason for trapping us in Huangsha is to lure our Zhenbei Army into a trap. What a good plan, wise king!!"

Everything is so coincidental, everything is just right!!

Jiangcheng was in crisis, and Wu Han broke out at the last moment. The Zhenbei Army would certainly come to rescue after receiving the news. If Jiangcheng was destroyed, the Zhenbei Army might not come to this yellow sand land. Maybe they would rebuild defenses in the inland to resist foreign enemies.

But as long as there is a city in the Yellow Sand Land, the Zhenbei Army will never watch the people of the Yellow Sand Land die and will definitely come to rescue them.

By consuming the Zhenbei Army at the right time and dispelling its concerns, the Zhenbei Army can be released into Jiangcheng. When the three armies attack from both sides, it will be difficult for the Zhenbei Army to turn the situation around even if it has great abilities.

However, the wise king miscalculated that Gu Ding followed with a large army and fought hard in this battle. Although there were heavy losses, they managed to defend Jiangcheng.

However, to the wise king, this was only a small problem. As long as he used the same trick again and trapped these 8 people here, he would slowly wear them down until they were dead.

"What is the food situation in the city?"

Jiang Shangru thought for a moment, "We planted a lot of high-yield crops before and harvested a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes. I transferred all the food to Jiangcheng. There is enough food in the city, enough for the army to eat for three months!!"

Originally, the people from the eleven cities of Huangsha were gathered here, and the food was enough for everyone to eat for more than a month. Unfortunately, the war was too cruel, and most of the people died. Now the food is only used as food for the Zhenbei Army, which can last for about three months.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shangru couldn't help but feel sad! He sighed deeply, and the fatigue and helplessness in his eyes could not be concealed.

Gu Dingbei patted his shoulder and said, "There must be a way!!"

Jiang Shangru smiled bitterly and nodded. He was deeply grateful that the Zhenbei Army had come all the way to help him at such a painful price.

At the same time, he felt extremely guilty. If his call for help had not been sent to the northern border, the Zhenbei Army would not have suffered heavy losses and would not be trapped here now. They might even be trapped and killed like them.

Words of gratitude are useless, and words of self-blame cannot be uttered. Looking at Gu Dingbei, I feel mixed emotions.

"Master Jiang, please take a rest! Your body can't stand the long-term intense fighting!"

The fall of the city, the deaths of soldiers and civilians made Jiang Shangru completely lose his former charm. Gu Dingbei understood him because he had also experienced this kind of pain, just like the closure of the county city back then.

At this moment, there are no words to comfort you. You can only slowly reconcile yourself and get over it.

Jiang Shangru nodded and turned away. His back looked desolate and lonely.

Gu Dinglian stepped forward, "Brother! What should we do now?"

Gu Dingbei calmed down and said, "Hold on! There is enough food in the city! There is no war. Let the remaining people and soldiers continue to grow potatoes in Jiangcheng to ensure food supply! Three months should be enough!!"

Gu Dinglian didn’t understand how three months could be enough! !

"Before coming to the Yellow Sands, I sent someone to send a letter back to the palace, briefly explaining the situation. There has been no news from the Zhenbei Army for three months, Lianxin must be suspicious. As long as we hold on, I believe she will find a way to bring people to rescue us!! What we have to do is to maintain our strength and defend Jiangcheng!"

Gu Dinglian nodded. He also believed that if Shen Lianxin found something wrong, she would definitely find a way to rescue them. What they needed now was to buy time.

Kyoto! The Prince's Palace!

"Your Majesty, the Zhenbei Army has been trapped! As long as we block the news, we can wear them down slowly! We will definitely trap and kill the Zhenbei Army in the land of yellow sand!"

The wise king showed a sinister expression, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"After years of operation, I didn't expect that the Zhenbei Army would help me in the end!! All obstacles were cleared in one fell swoop!! Haha! As long as I trap and kill the Zhenbei Army, this world will be mine!"

The guards of the Xianwang Mansion hurriedly complimented him, "Congratulations to my master on his great cause! May my master ascend to the throne soon!!"

The wise king was very pleased and looked at the guard with appreciation.

"Don't delay it too long! Three months at most! Otherwise, if there is no news from the Zhenbei Army for a long time, Beijiang will definitely be suspicious. Then there may be changes!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty!" Chu Mingzhu came in with a bowl of sweet soup! !

The wise king is angry! !

"I told you not to enter my study at will!!"

Chu Mingzhu was shocked! This wise king's mood was becoming more and more unstable. He was even a little moody.

Seeing Chu Mingzhu's somewhat frightened expression, the King realized that he had lost his composure.

He put on a warm smile, "Mingzhu! I'm not on guard against you, it's just that there are too many people in your house. I'm afraid there are spies from the Zhenbei Army!"

The virtuous king helped Chu Mingzhu sit down, and Chu Mingzhu's expression improved. This was the virtuous king she knew.

"Your Highness! Are you too tired recently?! Take care of yourself. I've brought you some sweet soup. Remember to drink it!"

"Okay!! Don't worry!!"

After taking a look at the letter on the desk, Chu Mingzhu was shocked to see that it seemed to have the unique mark of the Hu Meng tribe, and the virtuous king quickly put the letter away.

He gave the guard a look and the guard retreated.

Seeing the somewhat guilty expression on the virtuous king's face, Chu Mingzhu couldn't help but ask, "Whose letter is this? Could it be that the prince has any dealings with the Hu Meng tribe? You know, the people that Dad hated the most when he was alive were the Hu Meng tribe!"

The wise king smiled and said, "Of course not, madam, you are mistaken! It is the land of yellow sand! It is adjacent to the barbarians, and many people use similar pictures and texts. You will know the difference if you look closely!"

Chu Mingzhu was half-believing and half-doubting!

"The Yellow Sand Land was attacked and asked for help from Kyoto! I have sent troops there. The Zhenbei Army also rushed there."

When mentioning the Zhenbei Army, Chu Mingzhu looked unhappy, with hatred in her eyes.

"If possible, I want to repel the foreign enemies while trapping the Zhenbei Army here to avenge my father-in-law!"
