Chapter 295: The Siege of the City

In the next few days, everyone paid attention to whether the main road to Blackwater City was opened, and for a while, the entire Anjing City was a lot quieter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With such a high level of attention to the battlefield, as for a subordinate in the prince's mansion who stole the things of the prince's concubine and was disposed of by the crown princess, no one paid attention to it at all.

In the Guozhang Mansion, Situ Jingshuo sat opposite Zhou Zichuan with a gloomy face, and today, he had already received the news that Bi'er was dead.

"Grandpa, it seems that Ruoyun really betrayed us this week. What is the use of keeping such a slave who betrays her master, and I will order that all her family members be put to death. As for Zhou Ruoyun, I won't let her go, does she think it's safe to hide in the Prince's Mansion! Hum! ”

"Don't be impatient!"

Zhou Zichuan stretched out his hand to stop Situ Jingxuan's movements, and shook his head slightly.

"I hunted geese all day long, but I was blinded by geese pecking! Good, good. I always knew that this Zhou Ruoyun was smart, but I didn't expect her cleverness to be used on us. ”

sneered, and Zhou Zichuan's face was also cold.

"Zhou Ruoyun's family can't threaten her, and I just learned about it recently. This week, Ruoyun and his father, stepmother, and half-siblings do not have any affection, on the contrary, there may be hatred.

Therefore, this time our ability is to admit it, but I didn't expect that we would actually take a step in such a lowly person. ”

"Then, grandpa, is this matter over?"

Looking at Zhou Zichuan unwillingly, Situ Jingxuan really couldn't take this breath.

"Don't think about that for the time being, Wu Tianrou doesn't have to worry about her for the time being, now our focus is on Blackwater City, on Situ Sedum. What's the news from Yan Yanyuan these days? ”

Zhou Zichuan sighed and decisively gave up the idea of making trouble for Wu Tianrou and Zhou Ruoyun. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and for the sake of big things, there is no need to bother with this little thing.

"There's been no news coming back from there in the past few days, maybe the weather is bad, and the eagle can't fly back."

Seeing that Zhou Zichuan had already made a decision, Situ Jingxuan could only secretly swear that when he was in power, he would not let go of Wu Tianrou and Zhou Ruoyun.

"Well, you must always pay attention to the news over there in Blackwater City, and you must not let Situ Jingtian really come back."

stroked his beard, in fact, under the current bad weather, Zhou Zichuan really didn't believe that Situ Sedum could come back intact. There is a high probability that he will really die in the hands of Yan Yanyuan.

The more Zhou Zichuan thought about it, the happier he became, and the bad mood brought about by the news of Zhou Ruoyun's betrayal almost disappeared.

In Blackwater City, in the county government council hall. Situ Jingtian looked at the map in his hand carefully, and discussed it with General Liu and others on the side from time to time, as if he was discussing something.

"Report, prince, general, the main road to Yishui City is very slow. In recent days, the wind has not stopped, and it has snowed heavily today, which is really not conducive to cleaning. ”

A sergeant walked in, knelt on the ground and replied.

When the landslide on the main road caused a blockage, Situ Sedum knew it for the first time, after all, the deafening sound could be heard from afar.

Because the wind and snow were too heavy in the first two days, they couldn't send people out to clear the roads. It wasn't until three days later that the snow stopped, and Situ Jingcai sent Zhong Fei to lead a team of sergeants to clear the road on the main road.

It's just a pity that the temperature is cold now, the wind is constant, and the speed of cleaning is very slow.

"Alas! If the road doesn't work, even if the capital has prepared the supplies, it won't be able to be transported. We have brought few supplies, and it has been more than a month now. Although it is said that because there is no need to fight, the food ration is not so much, but no matter how much you save, there will not be enough to eat. ”

Qu Wei, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help frowning sadly when he listened to the words of the sergeant sent back by Zhong Fei.

"How many supplies do we have now?"

General Liu also had a serious face, and he turned his head to look at Mu Gang, the magistrate who was in charge of counting grain and grass materials.

Supplies are the most important thing for war. What's more, they are still in such a harsh environment, with insufficient supplies, and they don't have to wait for the enemy to wait for the weather to improve to attack, they will have to freeze and starve to death.

"General, there are really not many supplies. The subordinates counted the grain stored in the treasury of Heishui City, the grain in the hands of the rich people, plus the army's military rations, all added together, and if you save a little food, you can last for about twenty days at most. ”

Zhixian Mu Gang, whose face was a little depressed, shook his head, he had nothing to do now. Recently, the rationing system has been introduced, and all people's food has been pooled and distributed uniformly. The sergeants were fairly well fed, but civilians and those who did not go to the battlefield could only eat half-full.

In such harsh weather, if you don't have enough to eat, people's resistance will decrease, and some people are already starting to get sick at this time. If this continues, death is possible.

"The subordinates have no choice at all now, they can only hope that the road will be opened as soon as possible so that the materials can be transported in."

During this time, Mu Gang was a civil servant and couldn't go to the battlefield, so he was always half-full. In a short period of time, he couldn't eat enough and was worried, he had lost a lot of weight, and his official robe was already a little fat.

"Is there any movement on the Yanhuo Country's side today? Or did you hide in Black Rock City as usual and didn't come out? ”

The topic of materials is too heavy and sad, and Situ Jingtian also knows the crisis in Blackwater City now, but he has no choice but to change the topic.

"The spies who went out to patrol today reported that they didn't see anyone from the Yanhuo Kingdom coming out to do activities. It's just that the weather is bad, and our spies didn't go too far. ”

The situation has been like this for a while now, so Qu Wei said it simply, and everyone nodded.

This is the situation now, and due to the weather, the two sides can't fight either. All of them are leaning on each other in the city, and now it's a competition to see who can't hold on first.

And the people of the Yanhuo Country can't hold on, and they can still retreat to the Yanhuo Country. But Situ Jingtian and the others have no way out.

"There is no endless road, I believe that on the other side of the road, there must be people cleaning the road, hold on, it won't take ten days, the road should be able to pass, we will definitely be able to hold on!"

Glancing at everyone, Situ Sedum cheered up.

"Send another team of sergeants over to speed up the cleanup."

Time, we have to speed up time...... (To be continued.) )
