Pei Min has been in this world for so many years, and he has also made many difficult choices.

Pei Min didn't dare to say that his choice was necessarily right, but at least until today, he had a clear conscience.

But all the previous decisions were not as difficult for him as they are today.

Feng Changqing was the first famous general to follow him and helped him a lot.

And Yan Gaoqing was the first confidant and friend he met when he came to this world, and he was like a brother.

Giving up on them, how did Pei Min make this thought?

But in the current situation, only Li Linfu's sword is a sideways strategy, and the success rate is extremely high.

Seeing that Pei Min didn't speak, Li Linfu was also very interested and didn't say a word.

Let Pei Min do his own mental struggle.

After a long time, Pei Min sighed and said, "You stand down!" I've made up my mind...... Come! He asked the guards outside the house to prepare a tent for Li Linfu to rest......

He didn't explain which side he chose, and Li Linfu didn't ask, so he took his leave.

When he came to the camp tent arranged by Pei Min for himself, Li Linfu did not rush in, but shook his head slightly, and said, "May I ask Sun Zhou, where is Mr. Sun's camp tent?" He is my best friend, and he has come to the camp to meet and talk with him. ”

Li Linfu is the third person under Pei Min, second only to Zhang Jiuling.

The guards didn't dare to slack off, and directly informed Sun Zhou where his camp was located.

Li Linfu originally wanted the guards to lead the way, but his eyes rolled, he smiled, and said, "Forget it, Mr. Sun is busy with official business, so he won't talk about personal matters." ”

As he spoke, he walked into the military tent, which was simple and clean.

This eternal traitor lay directly on the couch, looking at the tent on top, his eyes were deep and a little crazy, and he muttered softly in his mouth, making a faint sound of mosquitoes and flies.

"Li Yan, Li Heng, Zhang Kang, don't let someone down...... Don't make a fuss, but I'm sorry that I gambled everything for you! ”

**********

It's a long night!

With the low roar of the wind in his ears, snoring, Feng Changqing looked at the dense enemy troops outside the city, stretching for dozens of miles, licking his somewhat chapped lips, and he didn't know what to think in his mind.

"Why don't you sleep?"

Yan Gaoqing walked to his side and handed a pot of water to Feng Changqing.

Feng Changqing took the kettle, drank a few sips carefully, licked the remaining water stains on the lid, tightened the lid of the kettle, and returned it to Yan Gaoqing: As early as two months ago, Arabia had cut off the water source of Tuozhi City.

The canals that originally relied on the survival of Tuozhi City have long since dried up.

Fortunately, Shi Guo was wealthy and had a very good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and in the early years, he hired a master craftsman of the Tang Dynasty to dig six wells in several key places in the city.

Today, all the water supply in the city depends on these six wells.

The water in the whole city of Tuozhi City is so huge that no one knows how long the six wells can last.

A person may go three days without eating, but not for a day without drinking.

The importance of water is self-evident, especially on such a hot summer day, once the water is cut off, it can't support it for a day.

Cities have long since begun to control water resources to avoid extravagance and waste.

Even Feng Changqing also leads by example and cherishes every drop of water.

Feng Changqing didn't answer first, but waved his hand, causing the guards beside him to scatter around. Make sure that the words here only enter the ears of the two of them, and then say: "Are you afraid that there will be no chance to sleep in the future?" Why don't you take this opportunity to take a look at this last mountain and river scene......"

Yan Gaoqing smiled and said: "I can die with the Jiedu envoy, and I have no regrets in this life!" ”

As the backbone of the civil and military forces of Tuozhi City, getting together is not to discuss how to break the enemy, but to die together, if the third person listens, it must cause an uproar.

These words, which were a little sad to give up, were said by the two of them, but there was no pride.

The country of Shi is rich, but the country is not large, and everyone in the country is in business, and only a very small part of it is cultivated and pastoralized, so that all the food needed in the country is purchased from other countries.

Shi Guo is rich, this is rich, and there is naturally no shortage of food. But now that Tuozhi City is surrounded by enemies on all sides, no matter how much wealth there is, it can't be exchanged for food, and the lack of grain production in Shiguo also means that food reserves are insufficient.

To this day, there has been a crisis of food shortages in Tuozhi City.

At this critical juncture, it is self-evident what it means to run out of food!

It's not that Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing don't insist, but they can't afford to persevere.

After a few months of siege, the two did everything they could.

"How long will the food last?" Feng Changqing looked into the distance and asked lightly.

"On the 11th, if the food supply is controlled, it should last for another month. It's just that in this way, we are afraid that we will not be able to hold out for five days. Yan Gaoqing said softly.

The biggest problem in Tuozhi City is that the supreme ruler of the city is the king of Shiguo, and the inhabitants of the city are the people of Shiguo.

Benevolence, righteousness, morality, family and country kindness will not work at all.

Even if it is a vertical and horizontal family like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, they can't let the people of their country live and die with the city in other countries.

This country is different, and the national conditions are naturally very different.

If the people of Tuozhi City are let know about the food shortage crisis, it is inevitable that there will be panic, which is not conducive to defense.

And they were able to suppress the kings of the cities at the moment, but once they learned that the food and grass were about to run out, the situation was very different.

How could these high kings die with them?

"It's a scourge!"

Feng Changqing said pointedly.

Yan Gaoqing said: "Then let them go with us, and we can take care of each other on this Huangquan Road." With Jingyuan's ability, as long as we don't hold him back, he will definitely achieve the final victory. ”

Feng Changqing glanced deeply at the scholar beside him, and a sense of respect arose in his heart: at this juncture, as a martial artist, his courage was not as good as that of a literati, and he said: "Just listen to Yan Changshi's ......"

The strategic significance of the city is not strong, and the city is not broken, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

What is really about the overall situation is the dozens of kings of the Western Regions in the city, and their existence can affect the situation in the countries of the Western Regions.

As long as they fall into Arab hands, the consequences will be unimaginable.

That being the case, it is better to get rid of them all before the city is broken.

Yan Gaoqing said: "I have already thought of a way, after the city is broken, arrange for them to break through." On the way, he pretended to be Arab soldiers and killed them all. Let's just say that they live and die together with our Tang Dynasty, so that spreading the word can also arouse the indignation of the countries of the Western Regions against Arabia. Under the same hatred, he may be able to become Brother Jingyuan's helper. ”

Feng Changqing didn't speak, but just gave a thumbs up approvingly, obviously this approach is much better than killing them directly.

Feng Changqing, Yan Gaoqing, you say a word, I say a word, what I say is the affairs of the family and the country, the words are indifferent, and there is no demeanor of being surrounded by 200,000 troops and dying.
