General mighty

The moon and stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. It circles the tree three times, and there is no branch to rely on.

This was originally a verse in Cao Cao's "Duan Ge Xing". If Jiang Jun was here, he would definitely complain about how shameless Li Yinshang was, and he dared to draw on Cao Cao himself. Cao Cao is a hero in troubled times, so what is Li Yinshang?

But obviously, Ling Wu is not Jiang Jun. Even if the husband and wife are of the same mind, he also understands the last bit of hopeless self-esteem that Li Yinshang, as a proud literati, cannot abandon.

But understanding is one thing, and recognition is another.

Ling Wu snorted coldly, and was about to answer, but the monarch of Dayong Kingdom had already come down to greet him: "You are finally here, great witch, and there are two brothers from the Boyan tribe, come here—this king has been waiting here for a long time Already!"

His movements were exaggerated, and the loose flesh on his slightly fat body trembled three times.Seeing that Erduo couldn't recognize the frown, she still nodded calmly on her face, and gave up a step: "Your Majesty has worked hard."

"No hard work, no hard work!" The monarch took two steps back with a smile, let Er Duo walk in front, he followed about two steps behind, and said: "It is my great honor to be able to welcome you back, Dawu .The gods will bless me in the end, Da Rong, and eternal prosperity for all generations.”

Erdo still looked neither sad nor happy, but he spoke a sentence like a mantra.

Ling Wu didn't understand, but the King of Rong was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he almost didn't kneel down on the spot to salute. He tremblingly covered his chest with his right hand: "Thank you, great witch, thank you for the blessing of the gods! You must serve the gods and the great witch with all your heart."

Aluhun frowned unbearably, and explained to Ling Wu in Chinese in a low voice: "That's our Rongdi's ancient language, which has only been learned by the heirs of the great witch, and it's probably similar to your seal script."

Ling Wu curled his lips, but he didn't point out that Aluhun's metaphor was inappropriate.

King Dayong prepared a grand banquet in the palace to welcome the great witch. At the same time, there were also twelve Zhai kings and some Rongdi generals who stayed in the capital waiting in the hall.

Since Er Duo and his party have come, the monarch can't wait to have a banquet.

Seeing that Er Duo was moving forward, while A Luhun and Ling Wu were still behind, he decided to wait.Seeing Ling Wu's gaze resting on the Han Chinese hostage on the golden pillar, the monarch's eyes rolled, and he wanted to please and make friends——

As a great witch, Erdo is not expressive, and Alu is not angry and pretentious, and always feels difficult to get along with.

This one, on the other hand, seems to be able to say a few words.

The monarch did not recognize Ling Wu, and Aluhun gave him the identity of an elder in the Boyan tribe.The monarch thought for a while, leaned over and said to Ling Wu: "What? The elder has taken a fancy to this Han proton?"

Ling Wu didn't expect the other party to pay attention to him. He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and bowed and said, "Your Majesty... what did you say?"

"If the elder likes it, how about this king giving him to the elder?"

The monarch was very satisfied with Ling Wu's answer. If Ling Wu agreed directly, he would still feel that the people of the Boyan tribe were favored and coquettish, and he would not take him as the monarch seriously if he was a great witch.

"...This?" Ling Wu pretended to be flattered: "This is the proton sent by the Jin Dynasty to the king. I, I am just one, an elder of the tribe. This, this may not be in harmony with the two countries... "

"It's just a proton." The monarch waved his hand: "Since the emperor of the Jin Dynasty gave it to me, it belongs to me. I can give it to whoever I want."

Ling Wu lowered his head, an imperceptible smirk curled up at the corner of his mouth.

On the surface, he still declined: "This is Jin Chao's hostage after all. I heard that he was in Jin Dynasty before, and he was also on the emperor's heart..."

"Why are you so talkative, elder!" The monarch was delighted, thinking that the elder of the Boyan tribe was as cowardly as a mouse, and he dared not accept anyone, but he still feigned anger on his face and said: "I will reward you if I say reward." You are just the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, so I, Da Rong, are still afraid of them?!"

As he spoke, he summoned two warriors from Rong and Di to "unload" Li Yinshang from the golden pillar.

When the dagger was pulled out, Li Yinshang let out a cry of pain, sweat fell on him like rain, his right hand was bleeding profusely, and his left hand was swollen even if it was attached. Lao Gao looked at Ling Wu with a pale face. One glance: "Thank you... my lord..."

Ling Wu frowned.

Li Yinshang smiled again, but he lost a lot of blood and soon passed out.It's just that the smile on his face was too coquettish without much gratitude, which made Ling Wu feel disgusted.

If it wasn't for the purpose of dealing with Ling Cheng in turn, he definitely didn't want to save Li Yinshang, a scourge, back.

Li Yinshang was packed up and sent down, and the King of the Great Rong also invited people to have a banquet here, so Ling Wu had time to observe the King of the Great Rong carefully:

Hu Hanlu had a strong and powerful body, but he had been pampered and pampered all these years—he was potbellied, quite rich, and the flesh on his face was piled up, and his original heroic face was a little out of shape.

When illuminated by the golden pillars and floor tiles of the main hall, it looks a little oily, not like the bravery of Rongdi warriors.

The banquet was said to welcome the great witch, but the twelve Zhai kings who came to the banquet had their own thoughts.Like Hu Hanlu, the King of the Great Rong, they all have the intention of grabbing a share of the pie.

For example, the three Zhai kings of the Tumen tribe scrambled to declare their allegiance to the new Great Wu Erduo.

Tumen Mi Yarong used to drive the warriors of the Great Rong to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but in the end they died in Lingbei, and the tribes suffered heavy losses. The battle in Lingbei caused their Tumen tribe to lose most of the people's hearts.After that, Miyarong was cursed by the gods again.

They urgently need a proof now, otherwise, even King Zhai's honor will be taken away.

Compared with them, the attitude of other tribes is to wait and see. After all, the Boyan tribe is too small and not strong enough. They declare their allegiance now. Backlash.

But the attitude of the monarch looks very interesting——

While wooing Erdo and Aluhun, he made many seemingly good demands for the Boyan tribe: he planned to designate a larger area in the capital for the Boyan tribe, so that They migrate in and live there.

Moreover, he promised that he would provide tens of millions of supplies for cattle and sheep, and he even promised food and horses.

The people of the Tumen tribe also added fuel and jealousy to the side, and one or two prostitutes even got involved in the matter of marriage. They wanted to send two beauties to Aruhun, and women and slaves dedicated to expressing their desires to the warriors in the tribe.

Aluhun didn't make a sound, but Ling Wu knew the sinister intentions of these people.

Seeing that it was the "nobles" such as the monarch and the Tumen tribe who were at a disadvantage, they wanted to allocate territory, send supplies and women.In fact, in the long run, it is still the Boyan tribe that suffers.

If Boyan Aluhun agreed to these requests for this small profit, then their territory has actually been demarcated, and "their hands are short, and their mouths are short". handle.

Their tribe is weak, but given time, with the help of Erdo, the great witch, they will definitely be able to grow and develop.

Aruhun hesitated, he didn't want to accept, but, he didn't know how to refuse——

Leaving aside the mention of the monarch, the Tumen tribe and others who are proud of being "high-ranking nobles" have already made such a big "concession", which can be described as "condescending" to win over. ——Being petted and spoiled, a little ignorant of flattery.

Seeing him frowning in deep thought, Ling Wu thought for a while, then raised his glass to toast to the monarch first, and then said loudly after he had finished his drink, "Your Majesty loves you! Our Boyan tribe is grateful, but your Majesty is too flattering. We are a tribe, please take back your orders from the king."

Hu Hanlu frowned, and stopped drinking: "What's the matter? Elder, do you think this king doesn't give you enough?"

"I don't dare, even more so in my tribe!" Ling Wu stood up, drank another cup, knelt down on one knee to Hu Hanlu, and performed Rongdi's highest gift-kneeling on one knee, holding his right hand Putting down his left shoulder, he continued: "Because of the great witch, your majesty pities my tribe's remoteness and lack of food and grass, and wants to give my tribe a safe place to live. But—"

He paused, waited for everyone in the hall to look over, and then continued:

"But your Majesty has forgotten that I, the Great Rong, have always respected the warriors. The Great Rong established the country with bravery, and the Boyan tribe has no plan or courage. They would never dare to accept such a reward! If this precedent is set, the people of the Great Rong will abandon martial arts and practice clever tactics. If you think that you can gain supreme glory and enjoy blessings with the help of the Great Witch alone, isn’t it trying to break the foundation of our Great Rong Kingdom?!”

Hu Hanlu was stunned for a moment, and also the guests who were full of guests were also stunned.

Ling Wu quietly licked the corners of his mouth at La'alu, winked, and then continued: "Forgive me for your disrespect, Er Duoren'erma became a great witch. This is the favor of the gods, not the efforts of my tribe. If Your Majesty insists on rewarding him, so please reward that Zhuha who made the Thousand Rainbow Clothes for Er Duoren Erma! All the members of the Boyan tribe will never dare to accept this reward!"

Er Duo became a great witch, and the word "Er Duo" became a common name. The great witch is almost a god and must not be called a common name.

Ling Wu knew the rules, so he added the word "Ren Erma" after Er Duo to show respect. If this word is in the name, it means "beautiful flower", but after a person's real name, Then there is a sense of respect.

"But, but..." Another elder of the Tumen tribe was unwilling, and chased after him: "Your Boyan tribe raised the great witch—yes, it's a meritorious service."

The implication is that they still need to accept this reward, but his voice has weakened a lot.

Ling Wu shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, I, the people of Rong and Di, have never taken care of and raised them. Men can hunt by themselves at the age of ten, women can tame animals at fifteen, and great witches can earn their own living. It is their destiny. We will never dare Invite credit for this and let the gods punish you!"

Having said that, Aluhun also understood Ling Wu's meaning. He nodded and added: "The great witch was in our department before, and she was also the bravest female warrior. If it is said that the gods bless you, the great witch has helped our department a lot. , my department, absolutely dare not accept this reward."

Seeing that Aluhun understood, Ling Wu bowed down again, and repeated in a loud voice: "I also ask the king and all the kings to take back their orders!"

Hu Hanlu looked at the elder who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and suddenly felt that his judgment just now was wrong - this person was not cowardly at all, but had a gully in his chest.He does not covet the small profits in front of him, but can see the future of Da Rong.

Besides, as he said, if this precedent is set...

Those small tribes stopped practicing martial arts and warriors, and they all went to find a way to find the heir of the Great Witch. Then it was time to study ingenious tricks and let the Great Rong Kingdom collapse!

Hu Hanlu nodded, and let go: "If so, this king is not thinking about it. This elder, please get up, and this king will not mention this matter again."

Anyway, the Boyan tribe is not big, he still has a chance to master it in the future, Hu Hanlu nodded, and the matter was over.Although several Zhai kings were not reconciled, but seeing that the king didn't have much to say, they also put it down for the time being.

Afterwards, as if to find a way out for himself, Kuhanlu asked Aruhun a few more questions, and gave Aruhun some rewards, but the name changed to thanking them for finding the "fake great witch" and Send the big witch to him.

Although the reward was small, Aluhun took the opportunity to get permission from his tribe to come to the capital to visit the great witch at any time.

It was just a meeting, but Hu Hanlu agreed without thinking about it. He would never have thought that such a promise would become his death knell in the future. When King Zhai entered the palace, he realized how much disaster he had planted today!

Boyan's tribe can enter the country at any time to visit the great witch.

Aluhun was talking about the tribe, and he was talking about anytime, but he didn't say how many tribes there were, or when anytime was.Huhanlu didn't even think of the rule, so, this time, Aluhun entered the palace, and he won't lose any money.

Moreover, with Ling Wu's help, they looked like they sold Hu Hanlu this time, and Hu Hanlu happily counted the money for them.

Rong Di's banquet in the palace was going to last all night, but Aluhun, Er Duo and Ling Wu also took the opportunity to say goodbye.When they came out of the palace, Aluhun and Erdo rode horses, while Ling Wu drove a long cart with Li Yinshang inside.

Aluhun rode his horse and kept looking at Ling Wu, the moonlight covered the ground, the corners of Ling Wu's mouth curled up slightly when he was driving, and Er Duo on his right seemed to be sneaking glances at Ling Wu all the time.

After walking for a while, the Dayong Palace gradually went away, and Ling Wu couldn't help but smile helplessly: "What are you brothers and sisters looking at? Could it be that I have Doren Erma on my face, is it worth your staring at me?"

Aluhun and Erdo were both taken aback, but the three of them soon looked at each other and laughed——

"Hahahaha—I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" A Luhun smiled heartily: "I didn't expect it, Ling Wu, I brought you here with good intentions, but I didn't expect that it was really the right thing to bring you here this time."

Ling Wu snorted softly and raised his eyebrows: "That's right, you won't lose any money!"

Er Duo also laughed, but there was more sadness in the girl's eyes. She smiled faintly, seeing that Ling Wu had lost the previous hostility and fierceness, and just looked at a friend she hadn't seen for many years: "Ling Wu, I Guess... you're leaving."

"……Why do you ask?"

"..."

Erdo remained silent, she lowered her head, and Aluhun stopped smiling, and said seriously, "Because... the original agreement wasn't it? You help me and Erdo achieve great things, and I will help you establish An army that belongs to you will help you provoke a war at the right time. Now, the Central Plains is in chaos, your army has gradually been established, and Erdo and I have entered the capital."

"So, we guess—you're leaving." Erdo nodded and added, that's what she thought.

Ling Wu looked at the two brothers and sisters and remained silent.

But silence is tacit consent. Alu Hun's eyes flashed, and he suppressed a kind of reluctance and sourness and said: "And don't you Han people have a saying? You should hide the good bows and arrows when the birds are gone."

"Ling Wu, if I were your elder brother, I... can't tolerate you."

What he said was sharp, Ling Wu was taken aback for a moment, and then "hahahahaha" pointed at Aluhun and laughed loudly: "What the hell! Aluhun, your Chinese is pretty good, but Rongdi is Rongdi, and if you are uneducated, you are just like that." Without culture, how can this be 'all birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden', which should be 'one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers'."

When Ling Wu made a fuss, A Luhun's pent-up emotions disappeared instantly, and he laughed angrily: "Get out! We Rongdi children are open-minded, and we can't learn the harsh words of your Han people!"

Ling Wu laughed loudly, but he whipped his horsewhip and walked away without looking back:

"Come on! Aruhun, although you don't like to hear it, I still want to say—there is no feast that never ends!"

"Ling Wu—"

Unexpectedly, when he drove to the gate of the city, Aluhun couldn't help calling him again, and this time Aluhun turned out to be speaking Chinese.

Ling Wu stopped the car, but didn't look back.

A Luhun looked at the back, his eyes were slightly hot, he choked up, and shouted in Chinese: "Ling Wu - as long as I live! May you and I - never meet in battle!"

Ling Wu's back froze, Dang still shook his hand, and made a clear gesture with his back to them.

Then there was a clear and resounding "drive—" accompanied by the bronze bell of the carriage, the figure gradually moved forward, passed through the city gate and headed south.

"He... did he agree?" Erdo asked.

Alu smiled faintly, turned the horse's head, and rubbed his sister's head: "Let's go, great great witch, you still have a lot to do!"

Er Duo didn't get an answer, so he responded muffledly. When he turned the horse's head, he couldn't help but look back at the carriage that was about to disappear into the night:

That person is already so eye-catching, and beside him... Jiang Jun is by his side, presumably in the future... In the future, I really wish that he and his brother will never meet each other in battle.

As for Jiang Jun, he took Wuyan and the Qianchongge people with him, and after speeding up the journey for three days, he finally arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and arrived at Jiangning City, the stronghold of Princess Tongjia in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangning is a land of luxury for six generations: Zhongling Yuxiu, landscape and humanities.

In Jiang Jun's impression, this city should not be said to be "meandering with green water, stretching forward to Zhulou", but also "white sand embankment in the shadow of green poplars", full of hibiscus and ten thousand hectares of willows.But when he really set foot on the land of Jiangning, he realized——

What is a chaotic world, what is it, the people are in dire straits.

There is indeed a white sand embankment outside the city. In the old days, the white sand was paved with willows, but now the white sand is covered with mud. The willows on both sides are skewed, most of them have been cut off, and the green willows are scattered on the ground.

What was supposed to be the outskirts of fertile fields, now soaked in the paddy fields are all discarded remnants of soldiers and broken guns.

The crows kept rising and falling between the ridges of the field, and a few solitary scarecrows were inserted crookedly in the field where there was no rice.Jiang Jun only glanced at it briefly, and felt that the miserable situation in Jiangnan was more than what was written in the original book!

In Jiangning City, martial law is everywhere.

Princess Tongjia's attack began at the Governor's Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. At present, she also uses the Governor's Mansion as her stronghold.After occupying Jiangning City, Princess Tong Jia directly arrested Jiang Hui, the Governor of Jiangnan, and Jiang Ning, both of whom commanded Bin Longfei.

Jiang Hui was too old to be frightened at all.

The night before Jiang Jun's arrival, he died in fear in prison.After all, Bin Longfei is a military commander, Jiang Jun only knew after hearing about it from the people around Princess Tongjia - this person is the bastard son of Binbai, the main courtyard of the Central University of Beijing.

If there were not all kinds of twists and turns in the middle, this Binbai, the daughter of Mr. Bin, Mrs. Bin, would have entered the palace with Princess Yanluo.Afterwards, she became Ling Cheng's new favorite, becoming the noble concubine Chen who favored the harem of Qiankang Dynasty.

Chen is the hub of the stars and the sky, where the Polaris is located.Borrowing refers to the residence of the emperor, and refers to the image of the emperor and the heavenly palace.

The imperial concubine who can add a title is already a blessing, and the word "Chen" is used on the title, which is the most expensive among the nobles, and it is unspeakable.Jiang Jun next to him didn't know, but what Jiang Jun knew was——

His mother took him to watch vulgar TV dramas. Modern people often make fuss about the imperial concubine Borzigit of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty.Concubine Chen is almost synonymous with being loved by three thousand people.

It's just that Binbai and Master Bin don't like Jiang Jun or the original owner "Jiang Jun".

Dazong Zhengyuan, guarding the erring children of the royal family.

In the past, the former masters of the deposed prince Ling Wei and Jiang Jun were guarded by this lord.In the prison of Dazong Zhengyuan, it is not a comfortable place, and how did this Binbai and Master Bin embezzle the deposed prince Lingwei, causing him to linger in a sick bed...

When Jiang Jun thought of it, his teeth itch with hatred.

Now that the enemy is extremely jealous when they meet each other, Jiang Jun doesn't care to leave an excuse to tell others that he just dealt with Bin Longfei, the bastard son of Binbai, in the same way that Binbai used to deal with the deposed prince Lingwei.

Although he is a common son, Bin Bai's direct son is a fool, and he has high hopes for Bin Longfei.

Now that a child is going to be sacrificed for no reason to make the Bin family unsuccessful, this kind of revenge didn't make Jiang Jun happy for too long.Not long after he was a "true villain who must get revenge", he became anxious outside Jiangning City, saying that Jiangnan's rebellious army joined forces with the Jiangning sailors outside the city to form a siege.

Princess Tongjia was anxious. Although Jiangning City is impenetrable, food and grass are limited after all.The imperial army she brought along and the traitors, civilians, and generals who surrendered in the city all needed to eat. Every day, food and clothing were always in short supply.

And on this day, Jiang Jun finally met the legendary King of Dust Lake water thieves: Hongxuan, the owner of Shipeng Village.

This person has handsome features and a long body. His long hair is simply tied behind his head with a hair rope. He is dressed in a purple-gold dress and covered with a black gauze robe.

If it weren't for the terrifying scar on his cheek that ran across the bridge of his nose, he would really be an independent young man.

"Young Master Jiang."

Xi Hongxuan entered the governor's mansion, lightly clasped his fists, his face was expressionless, and behind him were eight people from the rivers and lakes: it is expected that they should be the eight heads of the Shipeng village.

After all, Xi Hongxuan still held hands with Jiang Jun, but these eight people seemed to have eyes on the top of their heads, and they didn't look at Jiang Jun at all.

Princess Tongjia frowned, but Jiang Jun didn't say anything, just returned the gift with a smile on his face.Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Tong Jia added some points to his "sister-in-law" in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Since the village master is here, let's discuss together—"

"What's there to discuss!" Behind Xi Hongxuan, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks interrupted politely: "Gong Angu is just a thief of the imperial court, we brothers just go out and take his dog's life in the dark!"

This time, Xi Hongxuan glared at him.

When Princess Tongjia heard the words, she just hugged the cat and chuckled, her eyes were as cold as ice: "Really? How about the third master set an example for us tonight?"

Hearing this, the man stared, but in the end he could only spit softly.

If things can really happen, today, the big guys probably don't need to sit down and talk about it.

Jiang Jun knew it in his heart, but he still looked calm on the surface. The water bandits in the south of the Yangtze River are not regular soldiers. Although Xi Hongxuan is from Qianchongge, he was born as a water bandit, how to cooperate, how to cooperate, Also a problem.

After all, the people in Qianchongge served their five masters, not Jiang Jun.

After everyone sat down quietly, Princess Tongjia told everyone about the current situation in Jiangning City——

Jiangning City's fortifications are impregnable, but the supplies, food, and grass in the city can last at most ten days. After ten days, even if Gong Angu outside does not attack the city, the city will be in danger.

When the time comes to break out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to guarantee success.

And if you choose to break out at this moment, the north of Jiangning City is Luzhou, where there are a large number of Nanfu troops from the Jin Dynasty, and Luzhou has uneven roads and mountains and rivers, making it difficult to move forward quickly.

To the west of Jiangning is the location of Qingzhu Township. Before Gong Angu came, Yin Shi led the army to station there.Although Gong Angu moved to several places after the war, in the end-it was their base camp.

In this way, there are only two routes to break out of the encirclement, eastward and southward.

To the east, you can go to Anlu County, where there are a large number of Lingwu's private soldiers, with sufficient supplies, but Anlu County is small, with flat land on three sides, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is not a good place for an army.

To the south and Yecheng, this place is surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on two sides, and a river of no return connects Yinghai and Dust Lake.Near Dust Lake, there is also a natural moat called "Xiangguan", which is a battleground that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Although the distance is far away, for the sake of long-term consideration, it is better to abandon Jiangning City and break through to Night City.

But what they can think of, Gong Angu can naturally think of.Under the leadership of Commander Wang Huang, the coastal anti-Japanese garrison was deployed in Yinghai near Yecheng, and the vanguard battalion left by Yin Shi was also surrounded on the road from Jiangning to Yecheng.

It is not easy for them to break through.

Now that the city is under siege, Princess Tongjia still hopes that everyone can come up with a feasible solution.Instead of sitting here complaining and arguing with each other, come up with a practical solution.

Xi Hongxuan didn't speak, but casually watched his eight masters quarrel.His attitude of staying out of the matter really annoyed Princess Tongjia, so she picked up the topic: "It's the village master, what's your opinion?"

When asked about it, Xi Hongxuan was sipping a cup of tea, and when the princess asked him, he just blinked and said naturally: "I have no objection, it's all up to the princess."

Tong Jia raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "Then the village owner has a problem with this palace?"

If someone else said this, and the eldest princess said so, she would have to stand up and explain a few words.

But Xi Hongxuan was not an ordinary person, he put down his teacup slowly, and nodded calmly to Princess Tongjia: "A certain pair of princesses, I do have something to say—"

Once a princess, how had she ever been so disobedient?

But Princess Tongjia, of course, is not an ordinary princess. Instead of being angry, she smiled, and looked at Xi Hongxuan with a little more "tenderness" in her eyes: "Since the owner of the village has something to say, it's better to say it earlier. , so as not to hold it in for a long time in the future and hurt the body."

Xi Hongxuan nodded, and said: "The princess occupies Jiangning mansion, raises the banner of uprising, but only supports her own self-esteem, and never goes out of the city to fight. My brother is fighting outside, taking care of everything for the princess and fifth master, brothers You are fighting for your life, you are shedding true blood, and now the princess has brought our brothers over to discuss—isn’t it the idea that we should be human shields?”

He said this bluntly, but it was indeed a protest from his point of view.

——Why should the imperial army sit in Jiangning city and enjoy the blessings, while his brothers are hiding in Tibet and fighting with the gang of vicious court lackeys everywhere.

When his words came out, several leaders who were arguing stopped talking.

There was a momentary pause in Princess Tongjia's hand stroking the cat.

The entire Jiangning Mansion fell into a suffocating silence. Princess Tongjia looked at Xi Hongxuan coldly, and Xi Hongxuan looked back at the noble eldest princess without hesitation.

Now is definitely not a good time for internal strife. Jiang Jun also knows that Xi Hongxuan has lost many good generals these days and feels resentful. Of course, Princess Tongjia also has her difficulties-this is a reason that can't be explained by Tong Jiangnan.

After thinking about it, Jiang Jun stood up with a smile on his face, standing between the two of them intentionally or unintentionally, he softened his voice, looked at Tong Jia deliberately pretending to be aggrieved, and said, "The princess is biased!"

"Princess, you only asked the owner of the village and not what I mean! Why, why is it that I am so much worse than the leader of the village with the princess?" After Jiang Jun complained twice, he became bolder again. He grabbed Tong Jia's hand and said, "No, I don't agree! How can I say that my relationship with my sister should be better, princess, how can you be so eccentric!"

Seeing Jiang Jun like this, the eight masters next to him stared straight at him.

But Xi Hongxuan, who knew the relationship between Jiang Jun and Princess Tongjia, squinted his eyes—knowing that Jiang Jun was going to have a relationship.Princess Tongjia got a step, and immediately fell down. She rubbed Jiang Jun's head with a smile, and said angrily:

"I don't want to eat a little bit of loss!"

Jiang Jun smiled "hehe", stood up quickly and praised Xi Hongxuan and the brothers in Shuizhai, and then said a few witty words, finally calming down the atmosphere.

Then, Xi Hongxuan couldn't help asking: "Then what does Mr. Jiang mean? Could it be that you still want my brother to take the lead?"

"No, no, no," Jiang Jun turned around, stretched out his finger at Xi Hongxuan and shook it twice: "Jiang Jun already has a favorite candidate in his heart for this song. It is also not allowed."

Xi Hongxuan frowned: "Then—what does the young master mean?"

"Pretend to abandon the city and flee south, take the dust lake, bypass the north gate of the night city, contact the people of the flying shark gang through Changhai county, use their way to enter the night city, and then lure the enemy deep, set up an ambush, and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Tong Jia was taken aback, but Xi Hongxuan blinked.

Jiang Jun knew that what he said was brief, but he explained it to the two of them carefully——

Although there are not enough supplies and food in Jiangning city, it is a rare fortress in the whole south of the Yangtze River.They had no reason to abandon the city and flee south just because they were besieged, so Jiang Jun's first proposition was: not to flee.

However, if he does not escape, he will face a crisis of running out of ammunition and food. In this regard, Jiang Jun's solution is to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and attack west.Jiangnan is not Saibei, let alone Gyeonggi. Although there has been a disaster here, it is a big granary after all.

According to the book, Deng Jialiang embezzled tens of thousands of silver and grain here, and naturally there are private collections underground in the city.

Jiang Jun didn't say this, but he also revealed seven or eight points, telling them that the city has not yet reached a real dead end.After solving the food in the city, the military supplies, of course, will be robbed from the rebel army in the south of the Yangtze River.

The rebellious army thought that they would flee south to Night City, and deployed many defense troops along the way.

If we must be prepared, we must have supplies.The Dust Lake is so big, and Xi Hongxuan is the king of the Dust Lake, it must not be difficult to plunder a ship or two for supplies.

After the materials are finished, the next step is the battlefield:

The imperial army is good at land warfare, but Gong Angu's soldiers are good at water warfare, so we should find a way to let them go ashore by making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.According to the plot, this Gong Angu is a ruthless character who is brave, good at fighting, brave and resourceful.

But there is also one item clearly recorded in the book: that is the tides of Dust Lake and Nevermore Creek.

Jiang Jun had seen it before he came, and Gong Angu's water warships were all three-story warships. This ship has a deep draft, and it can run wild in Dust Lake. The water thieves such as Xi Hongxuan are nowhere close the body of the boat.

But this ship has a great disadvantage, that is, as long as it enters narrow streams or shallow bays, it is very easy to run aground.Once the huge ship ran aground, Gong Angu had no choice but to abandon the ship and go ashore. As long as they went ashore, the forbidden army would be useful.

The Nevermore Creek to the south of Night City happens to have such unique conditions.

How to lure the enemy into the River of No Return is the key to this strategy.

After Jiang Jun finished speaking, Princess Tongjia's eyes lit up, and the eight masters over there also looked at Jiang Jun in a different way.Xi Hongxuan's sitting posture on the armchair was originally leaning back, but when he heard what Jiang Jun said, he sat forward involuntarily.

This is a signal of "acceptance". Jiang Jun has studied psychology.

However, Xi Hongxuan still raised doubts: "You said you want to use the Flying Shark Gang, so you still let my brothers take the lead?"

"It's the village master, this is not to let your brothers go to war, but just to let you go out to get acquainted and show off your name." Jiang Jun smiled, and then said: "The princess sits in Jiangning and leads the soldiers and soldiers who surrendered in the city. It must not be easy for the common people to defend the city. The Walled Lord was besieged by the Jiangnan rebellious army before, so he must know how to defend the city. In this battle, I want to ask the Walled Lord to lead the army to defend the city, and I want to beg for life and ask the princess to give me The power to command half of the imperial army, told me to lead people to the south—”

Princess Tongjia had no objection, Xi Hongxuan hesitated, but finally agreed.

He had never seen Jiang Jun fight, but he had also heard about Jiang Jun's outstanding performance in the battle of Luo'e Mountain in Qianchong Pavilion.Xi Hongxuan vaguely looked forward to it, but also had some doubts.

A person who looks like a white, clean, and weak scholar can actually command a thousand troops?

But no matter how much he doubted, Jiang Jun was also the person Wei Wu identified, and Xi Hongxuan had no reason to question anything.But because he doesn't question it, it doesn't mean that his subordinates won't question it.

It was night when Jiang Jun told the princess that he still needed three days to prepare, and the restless third-in-command led people quietly out of the city to assassinate Gong Angu.

When Jiang Jun and others heard the news the next day, the head of the third leader had already been hung high on the flag of the rebel army outside Jiangning City. Xi Hongxuan's eyes were red immediately, and the leaders were so anxious that they wanted to kill them on the spot. Go out and die with it.

Gong Angu obviously knew people's hearts well, so he beheaded a general, and then sent the soldiers to the city to call for battle——

Those soldiers spoke so harshly that the soldiers guarding the city on the tower looked at the dead head with red eyes.Tears couldn't stop falling, but his hands and feet were shaking violently, and he fell into the enemy's trick.

The third family was beheaded, and the morale in the city was even lower.

Those who shouted outside the city even threatened that the food and grass in the city would be exhausted, which made the people in the city panic. Within a day, deserters appeared, and even found a letter of investment written by the owner of the inn in the city. Seeing the defense map, Tong Jia and Xi Hongxuan were startled.

Jiang Jun persuaded everyone to calm down. He said that it would take three more days, and after three days, things would definitely turn around.

However, at this moment, even Princess Jia didn't quite believe it—it was only Jiang Jun who made up beautiful words to comfort her—there was no food to hide at all.If so, it would have been dug out by the hungry people.

in fact,

Jiang Jun doesn't really need three days, he just wants to go to the beach to observe the ebb and flow of the tide, deduce whether it is consistent with the record in the book, and find a suitable time
