Although because of the report of the former army, Duoduo has a certain amount of psychological preparation. But when he came to the mouth of Erlong Valley, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he saw the towering and majestic city wall fortress in front of him.

Whose horse thief's den is this? Who would build the wall of the wall much higher than the wall of the imperial court?

Duoduo instantly had a feeling that his IQ had been severely insulted.

Although I know in my heart that this horse thief is not ordinary, but this is also too unusual!

Dodor really felt the urge to behead all the scouts who were listening to the news. These damned minions lied about the military situation, saying that if it is light, it is an insult to the intelligence of this king, and if it is serious, it is a serious delay in the military aircraft, and the crime is unforgivable!

The former army commander came to see Duoduo with a disgraced face: "Lord Wang, the last general was unfavorable in the first battle, and the soldiers were lost, so please punish the prince!" ”

"The former army has been frustrated, and it is not a crime of war, get up." Duoduo stared at the towering walls in the distance and waved his hand.

"Thank you for your grace!" When the former commander heard Dord's words, he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him as if he had been pardoned.

"You just fought with the thief army for a while, what do you think of the thief army?" Duoduo asked with a grimace.

"Lord Wang, with all due respect, the enemy's city is thick and well defended, and our army's tried and tested methods of provocation and calling formations in the past have not worked at all. The enemy general is calm and able to seize the opportunity to interrupt the momentum of our army with artillery, which should not be underestimated. According to the general's opinion, this enemy army is not a horse thief at all, but it is even stronger than the Ming army in Datong. “

The former commander said boldly, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Duoduo with anxiety.

This prince is a ruthless lord, and it will be miserable if he is accused of confusing the army.

Fortunately, Duoduo showed no signs of turning his face, and after staring at the city for a while, he suddenly ordered: "The whole army is encamped, build a siege ladder, and prepare to attack the city in three days." ”

"Huh!" The former army commander looked at Duoduo with a black face and didn't dare to say any more, and bowed down to receive the order. Although he was very dissatisfied with this command of Dodor. Such a tall city wall is half as high as Datong City, and ordinary ladders can't reach it at all. Moreover, there is a moat in front of it, and there are artillery on the head of the city, so it is very difficult to take it.

But he didn't dare to say it anymore, although it was the first time that Duoduo had listened to orders under his command, he had also heard of the style of this prince. If he gave an order, the people below and those who dared to raise their opinions again would definitely be killed on the spot for disobeying the military order.

"The cavalry of the front army is divided into small teams and sent out in four groups, driving the surrounding Ming untouchables here, and after three days, this king must see at least a thousand Ming untouchables, otherwise military law will be engaged." Duoduo added another command in a cold voice.

The former army commander sighed in his heart, knowing that this prince was about to use the ruthless move of the Eight Banners army to attack the city. In the past, when attacking the city of the Ming Kingdom, the people of the Ming Kingdom would be driven away as the precursor, and they would be used to coerce the defenders in the city, so that the defenders would be in a dilemma, and then take the opportunity to attack the city.

The soldiers of the Ming army defending the city could not bear to attack their compatriots, and the generals were unwilling to bear the charge of slaughtering the people, so they often hesitated before the Qing soldiers found an opportunity to attack the city.

"Huh! The last will obey! The former commander hurriedly took the order and turned around to make arrangements.

Duoduo looked at the banner of the word "Jiang" standing high above the city, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't you like hypocrisy, then let this king reveal your true colors." ”

Duoduo's confidence comes from what Jiang Chuan did in Liaoyang City, giving porridge and grain, standing wood for faith, and collecting so many people, which fully shows that this enemy surnamed Jiang cares about these people very much, at least on the surface, so he is sure that the people are Jiang Chuan's weakness.

When the time comes, as long as those untouchables are driven forward, the Qing army will follow and be mixed in. If Jiang Chuan didn't dare to do anything to the people, it would be just his plan. If he dares to make a move, it will not be a loss for the Qing army, but he can still test the defensive deployment of the city, and there will be something to do on the left and right.

This trick is really slippery for the Qing army, and the life and death of the people of the enemy country are not worth mentioning in their eyes.

Soon, a moment later, a group of cavalry rushed out of the Tartar camp and headed into the distance.

Since the arrival of the main army of Duoduo, Jiang Chuan has been observing the movements of the Qing army from the city.

I thought that the main force of the Qing army would launch an offensive soon after it arrived, but I didn't expect that it would be stationed under the city, and there was no sign of attack at all.

And those Qing cavalry who went out attracted his attention, which made him suddenly have a bad premonition. But he couldn't tell what it was, so he frowned and stared at the Qing army camp thinking bitterly.

Helplessly, he is a newcomer to the battlefield in the end, although he has fought a few battles since he came to this world, but he still has too little battlefield experience, and his battlefield judgment is still too poor, so he is not sure what the intention of the Tartar is for a while.

I wanted to ask Liu Ji, but Liu Ji was not around. Liu Ji is also responsible for the civil administration of the valley, so he can't be by his side all the time.

In the end, after thinking about it, Jiang Chuan had no choice but to order Li Yi, the commander of the bow and crossbow battalion on duty on the city wall, to let him closely monitor the movements of the Qing army under the city, and report any abnormalities in time, and hurriedly went downstairs to find Liu Ji.

Liu Ji was writing hard in his office, although he only slept for half a night last night, his spirit was not tired, but quite excited.

He has been in the middle of his life for half his life, and he has nowhere to apply what he has learned, so there is always a depressed atmosphere lingering in his heart before. But now that he is worshiped by Jiang Chuan as a military advisor and entrusted with important tasks, this feeling of being appreciated and trusted by others suddenly swept away the depression in his heart.

Although from any point of view, Jiang Chuan's current power looks more like a grass king than a tyrant who can compete for the world, but Liu Ji has an intuition that this mysterious young lord can give his side enough to display the world.

Therefore, although he is getting busier and busier every day, he feels very fulfilled, and his energy is not much worse than that of a young man.

Even now, the speed of walking has increased a lot, and many people say that the military advisor walks as if he is floating.

After discussing the charter of civil administration with Jiang Chuan last time, in addition to the Xiangzan military aircraft, in the past few days, he has been pondering to supplement and improve these charters.

He very much agreed with what Jiang Chuan said, since it is a law to be implemented for a long time, it must be considered and improved from the beginning, and if it is arbitrarily revised after it is promulgated, the law will lose its majesty, and the people will no longer trust the government.

Of course, all laws and regulations cannot be perfect, and with the passage of time and the progress of the times, many things need to be revised, supplemented, and improved.

But a good decree must be unchangeable, authoritative and coercive for a long period of time.

Liu Ji is actually just as Jiang Chuan knows, he is actually a real Legalist disciple. When he was young, he traveled all over the world and studied under a master who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and studied under him for five years before he became a teacher.

His knowledge is wide and profound, among which the study of Legalism is the most profound.

It's just because in this era, Confucianism is in power, Legalist disciples are not favored at all, and the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, so his previous idea of goods and emperors has not been implemented, so that in the end he is unwilling to let others know that he is a disciple of the Legalist school.

But after meeting Jiang Chuan, between conversations, he keenly felt that Jiang Chuan was actually a supporter of Legalism, and many points of view made him, a disciple of Legalism, also feel suddenly enlightened, so he was quite excited in his heart.

If a person wants to make a career, if the leader or boss is fundamentally different from your views, then there is basically no possibility of success.

Today, if the monarch of a country is a supporter and advocate of Confucianism, you will naturally not be reused as a Legalist disciple.

Only when the views of the monarch and the political views of the presiding minister converge can they work together to accomplish a good cause.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan gave Liu Ji a feeling of meeting a confidant. The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases himself, Liu Ji's biggest idea now is to live up to this opportunity, live up to Jiang Chuan's trust, and show all the knowledge he has learned in his life.

When Jiang Chuan approached Liu Ji's office, the maid waiting at the door was about to speak, but Jiang Chuan waved his hand to stop him.

He quietly walked into the office room, and happened to see Liu Ji who was writing hard, with a focused and dignified expression and blazing eyes, as if the matter in his hand was the most sacred thing in the world.

Liu Ji didn't notice Jiang Chuan who came in at all, he was still immersed in his work, and his expression was focused as if he was the only one in the world.

Looking at Liu Ji, who was so diligent and focused in front of him, Jiang Chuan suddenly remembered that when the two of them first met, he almost let people cut Liu Ji, although he was also scared at that time, but he still felt a little embarrassed.

And Liu Ji's trust and gratitude to him, he can also feel it, and he is also quite grateful to Liu Ji in his heart.

For a person like him who is full of suspicions, Liu Ji can still follow him and try his best to assist, and now he recognizes himself as the master, this kind of trust makes him a little embarrassed, but more moved.

Looking at Liu Ji's somewhat haggard look, Jiang Chuan couldn't bear to disturb him a little in his heart, and when he was about to quietly withdraw, Liu Ji seemed to sense something, and looked up and saw him.

"When did the lord come, and he didn't announce it at the door, but Liu Ji snubbed the lord." Liu Ji put down the pen in his hand and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Jiang Chuan smiled: "Why should you and I be so polite." I didn't want to disturb the military advisor. However, the situation of the Tartars under the city was quite strange, and Jiang Chuan was stupid and couldn't understand it, so he had to come to consult the military advisor. ”
