The steppe people were throwing corpses into the city. ”

The sky was overcast, the clouds were sinking down, there was a canopy in the old courtyard, large and small boxes were piled up under the canopy, firewood and grass were piled up in the corner of the yard, and there was a stove boiling water under the eaves. Tang Minjie, who was dressed as a force, wore a hat with a wide brim, held a teacup in his hand, and was sitting under the eaves and whispering to Lu Mingfang.

Lu Mingfang's dress is slightly better than Tang Minjie's, but at this time he looks relatively casual: he is a businessman who travels south and north, due to the sudden siege of the grassland people, Yunzhong Mansion can't get out, and Chen Ji's goods are also pressed in the courtyard.

"Throwing corpses?"

"There were human heads, and corpses chopped into pieces, and even internal organs, which were wrapped up and thrown in, and some were thrown with helmets, and after they landed, they stinked badly. It should be the leader of the Jin soldiers who brought troops to relieve the siege these days, and the steppe people killed them, let the captives be responsible for dividing and packing the corpses, let them go under the sun for a few days, and then throw them into the city. Tang Minjie took off his hat and looked at the tea in his hand, "Those Jurchen little gentlemen, after seeing the head, they were angry......"

"Throwing corpses into the city, this is trying to create a plague?"

"I can't build it." Tang Minjie shook his head, "The corpse has been put for a few days, and it is not easy to clean it up after throwing it in, but it is also a little disgusting." Shi Liai's arrangement was very proper, the cleaned up bodies were cremated on the spot, the clothes worn by the people in charge of cleaning were soaked in boiling water, and I transported lime over and sprinkled on the root of the city wall...... They learned the teacher's set, and even if the grassland people really dared to throw the corpse infected with the epidemic into it, it is estimated that they were the first to be infected. ”

“…… Have you figured out what's going on outside the city? ”

"I inquired, and the Jin people don't know very well." Tang Minjie shook his head: "Shi Li loves this old guy, he is as steady as a stinky stone in a pit." On the second day after the steppe people came, he sent people out to test, and heard that he had the upper hand, but he didn't know what he saw, so he called all the people back soon and forced everyone to close their doors and not let them out. In the past two days, the steppe people have set up the trebuchet, so that the Jin captives outside the city will surround the trebuchet, they will throw corpses, and the city will throw stones to fight back, and they will kill their own people one by one......"

Tang Minjie put the teacup to his mouth and couldn't help laughing: "Hey...... The little cubs were angry, but if Shi Liai didn't speak, they couldn't move......"

Lu Mingfang took a sip of tea: "Shi Liai is old and strong, his judgment and vision should not be underestimated, he should have discovered something." ”

"The two sides just started to fight, and the first game was the upper hand, and then he became a turtle with a shrunken head, he did this, the flaws are very big, and there will be something that can be used in the future, hey......" Tang Minjie turned his head, "What do you think here?" ”

"First of all, the purpose of the steppe people." Lu Mingfang said, "Yunzhong Mansion has sealed the city, and now the news from outside can't come in, and the inside can't get out." According to the information that has been pieced together so far, this group of steppe people is not without rules. They had friction with the Jin people in the west a few years ago, and they didn't take advantage of it for a while, and then turned their eyes to Xixia, this time they returned to the Central Plains, and they were killed in the clouds almost the same day after breaking the Yanmen Pass, I don't know what they did, and they also made Shi Liai vigilant. ”

Lu Mingfang continued: "Since there is a plot, what is the plot. First of all, it is unlikely that they will take the clouds, although the Jin country said that the mighty army of hundreds of thousands has gone out, but there is no one behind, there are still many talents in the nobles and veterans, and they are not a big problem to pull tens of thousands of people to come, not to mention that these grassland people do not have siege equipment, even if they are really talented, change a trick, and occupy the clouds, they must not stay here for long. Since the grassland people can complete the use of troops from Yanmen Pass to Yunzhong Mansion, they will definitely be able to see this. If they can't occupy the city, what are they ...... for?"

He snapped his fingers: "Grain and grass, military horses, manpower...... Or maybe it's more critical. Their purpose can explain the extent to which they understand the war, if it were me, I would probably put the purpose on the Great Creation Courtyard first, if I can't get the Great Creation Courtyard, I can also fight the idea of the rest of the military supplies transfer and hoarding locations, the nearest two places, such as Red Mountain and Wolf Grass, are the places that Zong Han built for the storage of supplies, and they are heavily guarded, but they threaten the clouds and encircle the points to send reinforcements, and those troops may be mobilized...... But the question is, do the steppe people really understand this level of firearms and armaments......"

Tang Minjie looked at him quietly.

Lu Mingfang continued: "If you understand the purpose of the steppe people, you can probably predict the direction of this war. We may be able to reach out to this group of steppe people, but we must be very cautious and conservative as much as possible. The more important thing at the moment is that if the war between the grassland people and the Jin people continues, those Han people outside the city may have a glimmer of life, and we can plan a few routes in advance to see if we can take advantage of the opportunity of the battle on both sides to save some people. ”

Tang Minjie heard this quietly and was silent for a moment: "Why didn't you consider the matter of forming an alliance with them?" Boss Lu, do you know anything inside? ”

"The teacher spoke."

"Huh?" Tang Minjie frowned.

Lu Mingfang sat down, pondered and wanted to speak, then reacted, and looked at Tang Minjie with a smile: "...... That's what you wanted to say from the beginning? ”

Tang Minjie also had a sinister smile in the corner of his eyes: "When I see the enemy of the enemy, my first reaction is, of course, that I can be a friend, at the beginning of the siege of the grassland people, I thought about whether I could help them open the door, but it was too difficult." Regarding the actions of the grassland people, I have thought of one thing in private, the teacher pretended to be dead a few years ago, and before he appeared, he had been to Xixia once, so maybe the actions of the grassland people will have something to do with the teacher's arrangement, and I am still a little strange, why haven't you notified me to make arrangements yet......"

He looked at him sincerely and said, "Opening the city gate is very risky, but letting me come should have been the best arrangement." I thought you didn't trust me much anymore in this matter. ”

Tang Minjie said this frankly, with a smile in his eyes. Although he is ruthless in his tactics and sometimes seems crazy and terrifying, he is usually honest in front of his own people. Lu Mingfang smiled: "The teacher has not arranged tasks related to the grassland. ”

"You say, I'll understand." Tang Minjie took a sip of tea, and the eyes behind the teacup became a little dangerous because of his thinking, "If there is no teacher's participation, the actions of the grassland people are determined by themselves, which means that among the group of people outside the city, there are some strategists with a very long-term vision...... That's dangerous. ”

When he said this, he was obviously thinking about the steppe knights outside the city. Then he turned his head: "By the way, you just said what the teacher said." ”

Lu Mingfang nodded: "The previous time I went back to the southwest, I also took into account the teacher's actions before he appeared, after all, he went to Western Xia, and he paid some attention to the grassland people. What I think about is that Xixia is relatively close to us, if the teacher arranges something over there, and when it comes to our eyes, we have a number in our hearts, but the teacher shook his head, he is in Xixia, and he doesn't leave anything. ”

“…… This doesn't look like the teacher's behavior. Tang Minjie frowned and muttered in a low voice.

"I was very impressed by what the teacher said later, he said, the steppe man is the enemy, we should think about how to defeat him. That's why I say you have to be cautious when approaching. ”

Tang Minjie lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and when he raised his head, he also pondered for a long time before speaking: "If the teacher said this, then he really doesn't want to play any tricks with the grassland people...... This is very strange, although the Wu Dynasty is scheming too much to perish, but we can't talk about relying on strategy. When I was studying with the teacher before, the teacher repeatedly emphasized that victory is calculated by accumulating every penny, and he went to Western Xia, but he didn't fall behind, what was he thinking about......"

Lu Mingfang said with a smile: "The teacher didn't say that he had an alliance with the grassland people, but he didn't make it clear that he couldn't use it. If you have an idea and can convince me, I am willing to do it. ”

Tang Minjie shook his head: "The teacher's thoughts may have deep meaning, and I will ask carefully next time I see him." Since there is no clear order at the moment, then let's follow the general situation, the risk is too great, there is no need to gamble, if the risk is smaller, we will do it. Boss Lu, you said that saving people, this is a must be done, as for how to get in touch, let's take a look. If there are really big people in this group of people, let's pay more attention. ”

Lu Mingfang also nodded.

Tang Minjie came with questions in his heart, the siege has been ten days, such a big event, it was originally possible to touch some fish in troubled waters, Lu Mingfang's action was not big, and he still had some thoughts, whether there was any big action that he failed to participate in. Now that the doubts were dispelled, my heart was a little happier, and after two sips of tea, I couldn't help laughing:

"That's right, Boss Lu."

"Hmm."

"You say, could it be that when the teacher and they went to Western Xia, a group of steppe barbarians who didn't have long eyes offended the lady who oversaw the sword, and the teacher simply wanted to kill them?"

“…… You're right...... It's too disregardant of the overall situation. ”

"Yes." Tang Minjie smiled, "If this is really the case, in front of the lady who overlords the sword, I'm afraid there are not many grassland barbarians who can survive now." ”

He paused: "Moreover, if the grassland people really offend the teacher, and the teacher is not good at retaliating for a while, it will only leave more back-ups." ”

He really figured it out now, if Ning Yi really hated these grassland people in his heart, then the attitude he chose would not be to go with them, I am afraid that he would have made friends and attacked closely, opened the door to do business, showed goodwill, and won over them a long time ago. Ning Yi didn't do anything, this thing was strange, but Tang Minjie only put his doubts in his heart: there may be a very interesting answer in this, and he was a little curious.

The two discussed here, and they had a rough outline of what was going to happen next. Lu Mingfang was about to go to Chen Wenjun to inquire about the news, Tang Minjie seemed to have something else in his heart, and when he was about to leave, he stopped talking, and Lu Mingfang asked: "What?" He said, "Do you know Luo Ye in the army?" ”

"Yes, Crazy Law. He was an old man who followed the Wurui camp to get into trouble, as if he was ...... One of his sisters has always asked us to find. What's wrong? ”

“……”

"Got a clue? Alive? He's dead? ”

“…… Forget it, I'll tell you later. Tang Minjie hesitated for a moment, and finally said so.

Lu Mingfang nodded: "Okay." ”

Tang Minjie didn't say it, and he didn't ask. I've been in the Northland for so many years, and I've seen everything. It has been such a long time since the shame of Jingping, and the first batch of Han slaves who went north have basically died, and now this kind of news, whether good or bad, is just the process of it, which is enough to destroy the life of a normal person. Until complete victory comes, it is the only way to keep people as normal as possible, as long as you can swallow and swallow it, without chewing it carefully.

The two went out of the courtyard and went in different directions.

Under the same sky, in the southwest, the battle at Jianmen Pass has not stopped. The general battle between the Jin troops led by Zong Han and the Chinese Seventh Army led by Qin Shaoqian has begun.
