Xue Runing said: "At present, the other party's intentions are not clear, so the only way is to close the city gate first, so that the city can strengthen its vigilance and guard it tightly." At present, the marshal and the general are not in the camp, and they are afraid that the people's hearts will be shaken. A few of us had to go to our respective battalions, first recall all the people who had gone home, and prepare the personnel. ”

I nodded, this Xue Runing's brain is still quite clear, people's hearts are now the most important thing, the enemy is five times more than us, if people's hearts are weak, we are afraid we will not be able to support it for long.

I suddenly thought of a question, looked up and asked, "Master Hong, is it dangerous for the general to be outside?" He only brought three hundred men?"

Hong Junshi nodded and said, "The general only went out of the city this time to see the surrounding defense, because from Ancheng to Miancheng, in addition to the natural mountains, there are high city walls. The general has to check every two or three months, and the goal of bringing 300 people is not big, but it is safe. And these 300 people are all good players in a hundred, they can attack and defend, so it shouldn't be a big problem. It's just that if the general knows that Anseong is besieged, I don't know how to deal with it, and we lose contact with him and can't cooperate with him. “

I nodded slightly to the Hong Army, and the Hong Army's Division said knowingly: "Then, according to Adjutant General Xu's proposal, please go back to the camp to gather all the personnel first, and then make plans when we find out the true intentions of the enemy." ”

Several lieutenant generals immediately retired, and I also asked Hong Junshi to send others to join the army, and only Hongjunshi, Zheng Yu and I were left in the tent.

I said softly: "Master Hong, I won't tell you, I think there are spies in this army. ”

Hong Junshi was not surprised, and nodded lightly: "The young lady and the old man think the same. This Hu Zhenjun came neither early nor late, just when the general went out of the city to patrol the defense. And the general left the city as planned, it was supposed to be a month later, but the general himself advanced the time, and he said it two or three days before leaving, and as a result, as soon as the front foot left, Hu Zhenjun killed the back foot to ......"

My heart skipped a beat, and he brought the time forward, was it to avoid me? A self-deprecating smile, what's the use of pursuing all of this now?

"So, who knows the news that the general is going out of the city?" I pushed myself back to business.

Zheng Yu thought for a while and said, "I and several deputy generals know it, and the military advisor and these soldiers also know it, and there are ...... The soldiers in charge of the city gate scouting also knew. The general gave us an account three days in advance, and the soldiers in charge of the reconnaissance had to see what was going on outside the city and whether the weather was suitable for leaving the city. ”

My heart moved, and I said, "They can also spy on the weather?"

Zheng Yu nodded and said: "I just met that Cao Jizhi turned out to be a local of Ancheng, because after leaving the city, it is basically a desert, so every time you go out, the weather is very important." Cao Jizhi can judge the weather in the next seven days, and whether there will be sandstorms and other bad weather in the rest of the month. So every time the general goes out on patrol, he must first observe the weather. Each time he judged quite accurately. “

I was a little shocked, I didn't expect that Cao Jizhi was not good-looking, but in addition to having extraordinary courage, he also had such a magical skill. "So, can he also know when the wind is blowing and which way?" This question is crucial to the method of breaking the formation that I had thought of earlier.

Zheng Yu nodded and said, "Of course." Measuring wind and rain, he has no problem. ”

Knowing that, that approach is half the battle. I turned to Hong Junshi and said, "Hong Junshi, in fact, I have already thought of the method of cracking the Crane Wing Array. It's just that for now, everything must be kept secret, so as not to be perceived by the enemy. “

Hong Junshi replied: "The old man can save it." ”

"Can Master Hong find someone to help me hit something with steel?" I thought about it for a moment, and I still have to do it first. At this time, there was already steel, but the production process was more complicated, and blacksmiths were generally reluctant to do so. Because it is necessary to use charcoal as fuel first, the iron ore is smelted into a sponge-like solid block in the furnace, and then taken out after the furnace is cold, which is called block iron smelting. Block iron smelting has low carbon content, soft texture and many impurities, and is an early wrought iron. Then use the block of iron as raw material, heat and absorb carbon in the carbon fire to increase the carbon content, and then after forging, remove impurities and infiltrate the carbon, so as to obtain steel. This kind of steel is called block iron-making carburizing steel.

Hong Junshi said: "Although Miss gave me the drawings, there is a suitable candidate." ”

I nodded, drew something on the paper with a brush, and made some of the parts as large as possible and the joints as delicate as possible. I enjoyed playing with this in my previous life, and I was familiar with its construction, but I didn't know if I could do it consistently.

After the drawing, I wrote the size and showed it to Hong Junshi. Zheng Yu also leaned over to look, and both of them had obviously confused expressions, but neither of them asked any questions.

Hong Junshi said: "I will let him build it overnight, and it should be done within three days." ”

I nodded and said, "The sooner the better." I'll go back to the General's Mansion first, and I still have some things to prepare. ”

Zheng Yu nodded and said, "I'll accompany you." “

"Captain Zheng, please stay for a while, the old man still has something to tell you." Hong Junshi said that he kept him.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know the road." ”

I knew Zheng Yu wanted me to wait for him, but I didn't want to be distracted by other things at such a moment, so I walked out of the tent without waiting for him to speak.

I had just taken a few steps when suddenly a figure stopped in front of me, knelt down at once, and said, "The last general will see Miss." "I looked up, but it was the deputy general named Jiang Ningyu.

I wondered: "Vice General Jiang didn't make pre-war preparations, but why did he stay here?"

Jiang Ningyu said: "Miss, we have received instructions from the leader, and Miss will go to Ancheng." We were given the command that whatever the young lady had to do, we would obey. So, please give instructions from the young lady. ”

I exclaimed, "You, are you a Yunshi?"

Jiang Ningyu nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

My mind is in chaos, is the leader Ling Yun? He already knew that I was coming to Anseong, which means that my whereabouts Ding Xiang always knew? Or did they guess that I would come to the third brother when I ran away?

I'm trying to clear my mind, but that's okay, since Jiang Ningyu is Ding Xiang's person, then at least he won't be a spy. I still have some understanding of Ding Xiang's personality, although he is very ambitious, he should not do anything to betray the country.

I stretched out my hand to help Jiang Ningyu and said, "Why does that Xue Runing and the others seem to be targeting you?"

Jiang Ningyu said with a smile: "Yes, because when Xiangye inserted us in, he asked us not to show too much edge." They think that I push back every time I fight, and I am not liked by the generals, and they think that my ability is too poor, so they are a little excluded from me. ”

I looked at him and asked, "But you're talented, aren't you?" Isn't it hard for you to disguise yourself like this?"

Jiang Ningyu shook his head and said, "I don't shirk it every time, but occasionally show it, otherwise the general wouldn't have allowed me to get to this day." “

I know that he knows how to measure, these people are carefully selected by Ding Xiang, and his weak ability will not put him in such an important place as Anseong.

I nodded, and whispered, "Now I have no other orders, only one thing, you can help me find out who has moved in the three days before the general leaves the city." Including several lieutenants in today's account, as well as joining the army. ”

Jiang Ningyu seemed to nod approvingly and said, "Miss Bingxue is smart, it seems that she has thought of it." Rest assured, there will be an answer within three days. ”
