Chapter 279: Siniang Asks for Life
In addition to these, Li Quan also sent heavy troops to guard the important grain depot in the city, strictly preventing the grain depot from being attacked by the Song army, cutting off his military rations, and also sending people to every household in the city to forcibly levy military rations, regardless of whether the people had anything to eat, and all of them were collected for military use, so that many people in the city immediately cut off their cooking smoke, and he sent people to post notices, if they want to eat, they can also eat, and each family sends people out to help the defenders defend the city, so that they can receive food for their families to eat, otherwise they will just wait for starvation to death and pull down.

In this way, in order to survive, the common people had to help Li Quan do things, and there were a lot of manpower in the city all of a sudden, which made Chuzhou City more sufficient, but the only thing that Li Quan had no way to do was how to improve the morale of the generals in the army.
After Li Quan calmed down, he was thinking about this problem, although he was now in adversity, his wife and children fell into the hands of the imperial court, but he felt that he still had a chance to give it a go, and what he lacked most at the moment was a victory, even if it was a small victory, it would have a great incentive effect on the morale of the army.
The actions of the Song army were also expected by him, although they were like a rainbow and always held the initiative on the battlefield, but they were also facing a big problem, that is, their troops were insufficient, and if they wanted to trap Chuzhou City with such a force, it was undoubtedly impossible unless the Song army was one by one, and not all the soldiers and horses under his command were rice buckets, after all, his descendants were the division of a hundred battles, and they had rich combat experience, and there was no shortage of brave men in the army.
So after Li Quandang cheered up, he began to plan to take action.
Both inside and outside the city were busy working for this big battle, and there was only one person in the Song army camp who was very sad, and that was Yang Miaozhen, who fell into the hands of the Song army.
When Yang Miaozhen entered the Song military camp, she was treated as a guest by Gao Huaiyuan, but her freedom of movement was restricted, she was only allowed to move within a small range, and she also made an exception to find a few nearby women to wait for her, which seemed very respectful and reasonable.
But Yang Miaozhen was still sullen, it had been two more days since she wrote to Li Quan, but Li Quan's side did not move, not only did not have the slightest intention of opening the city to surrender, but instead increased troops at the head of the city again and again, putting on a posture of fighting to the death with the Song army, and continuously sent cavalry to harass the Song army, this attitude is clear that they don't care about the life and death of their mother and son.
This situation makes Yang Miaozhen very sad, they have been married for more than ten years, Li Quan actually doesn't think about the feelings between them at all, and even doesn't care about the life or death of their children, such a thin gesture, how can Yang Miao's true feelings be embarrassed, two days have passed, Yang Miaozhen's expectations for Li Quan are completely shattered, and they began to have a strong hatred.
In the past two days, although Yang Miaozhen did not have much freedom of movement in the Song military camp, it was impossible for her to not see the situation of the Song army at all, not to mention that Gao Huaiyuan also deliberately let Yang Miaozhen see the preparation of the Song army.
Yang Miaozhen is also a generation of famous generals, who has controlled the army for many years, how can he not see a clue! She heard that this Song army was very strong before, although she didn't completely disbelieve it, but she still had some doubts, how could the Song army, which had always been weak, train such a strong army overnight?
But after arriving at the Song camp, she realized the difference between this Song army, in the past, the Song army in her impression was a bunch of arrogant and lascivious guys, defeated from top to bottom, combat effectiveness is very weak, often as long as it is attacked, even if the number of Song army soldiers and horses is more than the enemy, it will often be defeated, there are more examples of such battles, but those Song troops do not fight much, but the scourge of the common people is very set, and the place where it is often made the local people complain and scold.
But this time she saw Gao Huaiyuan led the Song army is very different from the Song army she saw in the past, the officers and soldiers of this Song army are all very strong, and the army rarely sees the old, weak, sick and disabled weak soldiers, this is not counting, the military discipline of this Song army is very strict, it can be said that the order can be completely banned in the Song camp, and the morale of the officers and soldiers in the army is very high.
And in the past two days, she has also heard many people mention that after Gao Huaiyuan controls the army, he has clear rewards and punishments in the army, and he loves soldiers like children, and he must go to the front line in person in every battle, and often likes to take the lead, this kind of character should be the demeanor of a generation of famous generals, and then look at the layout of the Song army camp, it is even more Yang Miaozhen praised again and again, whether it is the construction of the camp or the arrangement between the battalions, it can be said that it is impeccable, such a camp layout fully illustrates the quality of the Song generals in charge of this matter, if Li Quan sends troops to attack the camp, I guess I can't please the good fruit to eat!
The more Yang Miaozhen looked, the more frightened she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Li Quan's victory was not big, and she also saw that the rear of the Song army was constantly transporting all kinds of siege equipment, grain, grass and arrows, etc., and the war materials in reserve were very abundant.
Yang Miaozhen not only became more and more frightened the more he looked at it, but also became more and more angry the more he thought about it, resenting Li Quan's unkindness, for his own selfish interests, he completely didn't care about the life or death of their mother and son, it was a shame for such a husband to follow him, so Yang Miaozhen secretly made up her mind.
Gao Huaiyuan has also been very busy in the past two days, the siege is imminent, he must ask about all kinds of affairs, although the generals under his command are very capable and follow orders, but he does not dare to be careless in the details, so as to be foolproof.
On this day, when he was patrolling the army, suddenly a personal soldier came to him and knelt down and reported:
Gao Huaiyuan thought about it, he really ignored Yang Miaozhen a little in the past two days, although he ordered people to eat and drink well and serve their mother and son, but in the past two days, he forgot to say hello.
He didn't quite know what Yang Miaozhen was looking for him for at this time, so after thinking for a while, he nodded and said:
After a while, Gao Huaiyuan finished dealing with the matter at hand, and rushed back to the handsome tent, and before he entered the handsome tent, he saw Yang Miaozhen and Qiu Tong standing outside the big tent and seemed to be chatting about something.
As soon as she saw Gao Huaiyuan, Yang Miaozhen immediately stopped chatting with Qiu Tong, now that she and Qiu Tong have become acquainted, it is completely possible to determine that Qiu Tong is a woman's identity, so she can't talk to other guards, so she chats with Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong is also a smart person, and while chatting with Yang Miaozhen, she also heard that Yang Miaozhen was very curious about Gao Huaiyuan, and tried to find out more about Gao Huaiyuan from her, so Qiu Tong picked out something that could be said and told Yang Miaozhen, which made Yang Miaozhen's opinion of Gao Huaiyuan change a lot.
Secretly Qiu Tong told Yang Miaozhen that in fact, she was not Gao Huaiyuan's woman, but Gao Huaiyuan's, this time she came to assist Gao Huaiyuan in crusading against Li Quanjun, and Yang Miaozhen carefully looked at Qiu Tong, and also saw that Qiu Tong was a virgin, although Qiu Tong was disguised as a man, but it can still be seen that she has a good figure and outstanding appearance, which is very attractive to men now, and Gao Huaiyuan can keep Qiu Tong by his side, but not eat her, at least it shows that Gao Huaiyuan is not a womanizer, and this Feng Tong may have other relationships with him.
You must know that there are few men in this era who are not lustful, even if they are well-known men, there is no one who is not romantic, Li Quan, as her husband, is no exception, from time to time he will steal fish outside, as a woman, she also knows very well in her heart that a man like Gao Huaiyuan who puts delicious food in his mouth and does not steal fish is really rare now, so Yang Miaozhen admires Gao Huaiyuan even more.
Yang Miaozhen changed into women's clothes today, and did not see Gao Huaiyuan as a general of the Northern Army, but said to Gao Huaiyuan as a woman.
Gao Huaiyuan was a little surprised to see Yang Miaozhen wearing women's clothes, after Yang Miaozhen changed into women's clothes, she was a little less heroic and a little more feminine, and she really looked more outstanding.
After Gao Huaiyuan was polite for a moment, he immediately raised his hand and let Yang Miaozhen into the big tent.
After the two sat down, Gao Huaiyuan smiled:
Yang Miaozhen shook his head and said:
Gao Huaiyuan knew that Yang Miaozhen must have something to do with him today, so he stopped being wordy and said bluntly to Yang Miaozhen:
Hearing Gao Huaiyuan say this, Yang Miaozhen immediately showed a look of grief and indignation, and said:
Be happy and remember the only one
