Another siege failed, looking at the gradually darkening sky, Zhou Fang's face was darker than the weather, yesterday's scene was not repeated today, as if the combat power and momentum of the Taiping Sect army yesterday was a dream.

What went wrong?

Zhou Fang couldn't figure it out, and after discussing with the generals, no one could give an answer.

In the big tent of the Taiping Sect, Zhou Fang asked people to light candles, and most of the Taiping Sect generals gathered here, but they didn't even dare to breathe.

"In the past few days, the siege has been fruitless, do you have a strategy to break the enemy?" In the dull and depressing atmosphere, Zhou Fang finally spoke, his tone was very calm, but it made people feel even more depressed.

A group of Taiping generals looked at each other when they heard this, so far, the Taiping Sect has not actually fought any hard battles, and the siege routine is actually in the final analysis, not relying on how the Taiping Sect can fight, one is that there are many people to scare away the enemy, and the other is that the Taiping Sect in the city helps open the city gate and rushes in.

Relying only on these two tricks, since the beginning of the incident, it can be said that it is invincible, but now it has been blocked in Quyang, and there is no news from the Taiping disciples in the city, so they want to think of other tricks...... coaxed the people into joining the church, coerced and lured them to be good at it, and went into battle to charge...... It's barely possible, but if it comes to making suggestions, then it's completely blind, a group of people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally lowered his head silently, hoping from the bottom of his heart that Qu Shuai would not see himself.

I don't understand.

"What? At this point, no one is talking? What do I have to do? Zhou Fang looked at everyone and said.

"Qu Shuai!" One of the generals closest to Zhou Fang hurriedly said: "Quyang is well garrisoned, I might as well abandon Quyang and go south to attack Huaipu and Sheyang, or attack east and trap Haixi, why bother to be entangled in one place?" ”

"How easy is it to say?" Zhou Fang sighed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I can leave later, but if these tens of thousands of horses can't capture Quyang, I'm afraid they all have to stay here, and the food and grass in the army are already insufficient." ”

This is also the biggest problem of the Taiping Sect, although the people are coerced, it seems to be huge, but there is no stable supply, if you can't take the city, you have to face the dilemma of lack of food, either abandon those people, re-drive the people from other places, or fight with the defending army, there is no other way.

But these two Huai places, Runan is better, Guangling is sparsely populated, Zhou Fang organized this operation, has been able to coerce the people who can be coerced, this road is also quite fruitful, Xia Xiang, Xiaqiu, Hongxian, Lingxian Siwu and other places all fell into the hands, if the people under his command are really counted, there are more than 100,000, but as Chen's mother said, the management is chaotic, and now Zhou Fang can't even count how much grain and grass he has in his hands, let alone really give full play to the power of these more than 100,000 people, he came to Quyang, The other counties captured were basically free-range, and although he had grain in his hands at this time, he was not even sure whether he could go to the next city.

The atmosphere returned to dead silence again, and Zhou Fang was a little irritable.

"Newspaper~"

The curtain of the door was lifted, and a night wind rushed in with a cold air, which made people shiver.

"What?" Zhou Fang looked at the person with some irritation, he was a small leader, he couldn't remember what he did.

"Qu Shuai, the news of the list is circulating everywhere in the camp now." The little leader hurriedly said.

"Oh?" Zhou Fang didn't care: "What kind of article?" ”

"The one hanging on the head of Quyang City." The little leader said in a deep voice.

"What is written on it?" Zhou Fang said curiously, he didn't know a few words, although he read the list yesterday, he didn't recognize more than half of it, and he was also a little curious at this time.

"It is said that the imperial court has decreed that only the first evil will be punished, and the rest only need to obtain the head of one person to be blamed in the past, and they can also get a reward." The little leader bowed.

"When did the imperial court issue such an edict?" Zhou Fang sneered and said, Quyang is now surrounded by water, if there is really any movement in the imperial court, the first person to know should be him: "It must be a miscommunication." ”

"Qu Shuai, now the news has spread in the camp...... "The little leader wanted to say something, but saw that the curtain was opened again, and Yang Mao hurriedly came in.

"Yang Mao? What are you doing here? Zhou Fang frowned and said, Yang Mao's martial arts are good, and he also has some prestige, these days he has been named a small leader, but he is not from the Taiping Sect, but is responsible for managing the Orions, Zhuangyong and Ranger who have been recruited, although he is in charge of more than a dozen people, and his combat power is also good, but he has not been regarded as a confidant, and this kind of deliberation is not allowed to participate.

"Qu Shuai." Yang Mao took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Fang and bowed down and said: "Two of my accounts were killed and their heads were cut, in addition, many brothers were attacked tonight, and they had to report it, and now rumors are spreading in the camp, I'm afraid it's ......."

"Bang~" Zhou Fangyi patted the table and stood up, frowned at Yang Mao and said, "Do you know who did it?" ”

"If you knew, you would be able to do it." Yang Mao shook his head and said a little dullly, this black light is blinding, and he doesn't know when the other party will move, and when the body is found, the person's head is gone.

"Which of you is literate? What is written in the list posted at the head of the city yesterday!? Zhou Fang scratched his scalp a little irritably and looked at the people in the tent.

A group of people looked at each other when they heard this, Zhou Fang was a registered disciple of the great sage and good teacher, and he knew some words, it was good for them to recognize their names, let alone read the list text.

"Qu Shuai!" Yang Mao hesitated for a moment, bowed to Zhou Fang and said, "I know a son below, although he is young, he can recognize words." ”

"Young literacy?" Zhou Fang frowned and said, "Where is he from?" How do you recognize? ”

Yang Mao hurriedly said: "This son and I are considered fellow villagers, and the ancestors have also been prominent, but the family is in the middle, although he is young, he is quite sensible, and Qu Shuai has also seen ...... before."

"That's it!" Zhou Fang naturally knew that Yang Mao wanted to take the opportunity to bring in people from his hometown, but it didn't matter, as long as he could read, he waved his hand and said, "Go find him, if you are really literate, stay and stay." ”

"Thank you Qu Shuai!" Yang Mao was overjoyed when he heard this, and after bowing to Zhou Fang, he turned around and walked out of the camp quickly, and found Li Jiu, he went to find Chen Mo today, but the shed where the mother and son stayed before had been occupied by others, and no one knew if he asked others, Yang Mao was not good to leave for too long, and he was encountering this incident, so he took this opportunity to find Chen Mo's mother and son.

"Why waste all this strength, on this battlefield, if you go today, you can't say if you can come back." Li Jiu looked at Yang Mao and shook his head and sighed.

"I always think that Ergou, this kid is not so easy to die." Yang Mao shook his head and said, "Those villagers leaders nearby, go and ask one by one." ”

"Okay."
