Fu Nianjun talked to the burrowing snake for a while, and then returned to the inn where she lived, her heart was a little heavy because of this conversation.

This is the case in Dunzhou, but what about the rest of the states and towns?

Now that the war is imminent, and it is too late to train troops before the battle, what other way can we improve the combat effectiveness and morale of the army in a short period of time?

Fu Nianjun certainly has some ideas, but no one can say it at the moment, she wants to wait until she sees Zhou Yubai before discussing it with him.

In short, she will leave for Weizhou tomorrow, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

It's just that God won't give her this opportunity, and the city of Juzhou was attacked by the Tanguts that night.

The city can be said to be defenseless, and it is clear that there is singing and dancing during the day, who would have thought that the enemy would attack the city at night.

The city of Juzhou was so abandoned that the soldiers came to the city to learn the news.

"Where the hell did they come from?"

"How many people came?"

"Are they going to attack the city?"

Everyone wants to know the answer.

Guo Da and He Dan protected Fu Nianjun for the first time, and Qi Xun also led people over.

Although Qi Zhaoruo is not said to be experienced in a hundred battles, he has also fought with the Tangut people several times, and he must have been invited to the government to discuss countermeasures now.

At this moment, he did not forget to order Qi Xun to escort her away.

"The gate of the west city is open, Madame should go out with us quickly!"

Qi Xun now calls Fu Nianjun his wife.

Fu Nianjun listened to the panicked voices outside the window, and said calmly: "Vice General Qi, let me ask you, how far is it to the nearest town after opening the West City Gate and taking the official road?"

"Two hours to come. ”

"Okay, in two hours, what if you meet people on the road who want to follow you? Or what if you encounter the stragglers of the Tangut people on the road? If the nearby towns are also infested by the Tanguts, are you sure that they will open the gates?"

Qi Xun said.

Fu Nianjun solemnly continued: "I see how many soldiers Qi Zhaoruo and your subordinates have led into the city, these soldiers are the elite of your subordinates, but now they want to escort me to a woman, what about the city of Dunzhou? I saw the garrison training in the city during the day today, Vice General Qi, do you think there is a chance of victory with them opening the city gate to meet the enemy? If I take away the elite of your men, even if it is one person, I will not be able to explain to the people in the city of Dunzhou!"

Qi Xun was slightly moved in his heart.

This woman's courage and insight are not comparable to ordinary women.

Although Qi Zhaoruo didn't say it explicitly, he could somewhat guess that she was the person Qi Zhaoruo's heart was tied to, and she was also the eldest daughter of Fu Xiang, the princess of His Royal Highness King Huai.

Fu Nianjun stood up and aligned with the Followers: "Now, please ask Vice General Qi to take me to the official office, and I will discuss with you the strategy of defending the city." ”

……

Qi Zhaoruo was not shocked when he saw the hairy woman appear, but his face still showed unhappiness.

He greeted him, and his tone was a little stern: "What are you doing here......"

His eyes fell fiercely to Qi Xun next to him.

Qi Xun lowered his head by his staring.

Together with Qi Zhaoruo, there were several generals, the governor of Dunzhou, the defense envoy, the soldier and the horse.

When everyone saw Fu Nianjun's bearing, and then saw her talking to Qi Zhaoruo, they immediately had their own guesses about Fu Nianjun's identity.

It's probably the wife of the Qi commander......

Liu Zhizhou was the first to express his dissatisfaction, "How can you let the woman in, please go out and settle down quickly." ”

This Zhizhou is a literati, and Fu Nianjun can connect him with the person who believes in burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the mouth of the snake that drills the ground.

Fu Nianjun ignored him and only said, "I have a few words to discuss with you." ”

Several people had disagreeing expressions on their faces, but Qi Zhaoruo didn't say a word, and pulled out the knife on Qi Xun's waist and slapped it on the table.

And asked sadly: "Do the adults listen?"

Liu Zhizhou and the others immediately changed their faces and did not dare to speak.

Only that Zhang Zhan snorted coldly, still acting rebelliously.

Fu Nianjun had no time to argue with them, so he only said his own words: "The Xixia people have just captured Yanzhou, and they will inevitably suffer a lot of losses, so they should not have reorganized their army so quickly to capture other cities, not to mention that Shanzhou is only a day's journey from Weizhou, as long as Yanzhou holds for one day, they can wait for reinforcements, and when the time comes, they will be at a disadvantage, why should the Xixia people take the risk of attacking the city?"

The truth is true, but because she is a woman, several people do not want to admit that she is right.

Only Qi Zhaoruo was listening carefully.

He had always known that this woman had the talent to run the country, and she might not be good at leading troops to fight, but she was far above herself and these when analyzing the situation.

What's more, regardless of the officials and people in the city of Dunzhou, most of them are afraid of the Western Xia people, where can they calmly analyze the motives of the other party.

"So my guess is that they're probably just feints, to buy time for the night. ”

"What can they do in one night?"

It was Zhang Chanzhi, who was the most unruly just now, who asked this, and he had already put on a serious look.

Fu Nianjun's face was slightly gloomy, "Maybe it's because the things they got in Yanzhou are far less than they imagined." ”

She has always known that Yanzhou is such an important strategic location, with Zhou Yubai sitting here, and letting the Tanguts easily take it, it may be a plan they set, then Yanzhou is likely to have moved most of the materials away, leaving the Tanguts with an empty shelf.

This winter came very early, and the Xixia people in the northwest were more short of food and clothing than in previous years, so they made a plan for a quick attack.

Of course, this is just Fu Nianjun's speculation, and in the military, she doesn't dare to hold it up.

Qi Zhaoruo quickly understood what he meant, and immediately sent an order, "Quickly let people lock the city gate and don't let the people out!"

Liu Zhizhou hurriedly wanted to stop it: "This can't be done! The people in the city of Dunzhou are timid, and when they hear about the war, they are prone to chaos, and if they are not allowed to leave, they will make trouble instead, and they will be trapped internally and externally, which will be difficult to do!"

Qi Zhaoruo snorted coldly: "If the Tangut people really don't intend to attack the city, but plunder the supplies, then wouldn't the people who released the city give the sheep to the wolves?

Liu Zhizhou was dripping in a cold sweat.

For a civil official like him, how to fight the battle is the business of their warriors, and what he needs to govern is the people below.

"Lord Zhizhou, maybe your people are not as greedy for life and afraid of death as you think. ”

Fu Nianjun said.

Liu Zhizhou reproached her: "You are young, what do you know!"

Qi Zhaoruo snorted coldly, raised the knife on the table, and slashed a corner of the table with one sword.

"Lord Liu, this knife is not very old!"
