After stepping down the city wall, Pak Cha had all the soldiers counted, and anyone who had any rest or something to leave the camp had to return immediately, and he also had to count how long the food stored in the city would last.

Fortunately, because they have to prepare for winter, they have stored a lot of food during this time, and even if the city is closed in a short time, they are not afraid of a shortage of food and food.

On the contrary, the Xirong tribe outside the city has a large number of people, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is an astronomical amount, so they will definitely use all kinds of methods to let Pu Ce fight as soon as possible, or think of a strong attack into the city!

But Pu Ce still doesn't know the specific situation of the Xirong tribe, so naturally it is impossible to fight easily, the Shucheng side has been breached, what is the situation now, and he has to send someone to investigate, plus the 50,000 troops they defended the city, and the 300,000 troops of the Xirong tribe reported by the spies are really too different, so as the commander-in-chief, he can't act impulsively!

After receiving a notice from Park Ce, all the generals and high-ranking soldiers of the border city gathered in Pu Ce's house.

As the chief general of the Zhenguo Army, he has been stationed in the border city for a long time since he got married five years ago, and the emperor gave him a house here, and he is not a good woman, and there is no one else in the house except for some servants.

On weekdays, the four-entry mansion is very desolate, but at this moment, his house has become a temporary place for military negotiations, which has added a bit of popularity to his house, but none of them want to be popular because of such a thing......

"Are the scouts back?"

In front of Pu Ce was a map of the border city and its surroundings, and behind him was a corresponding topographic map made of sand tables, while Nangong Jue had planted various small flags on the sand table according to what he had just seen on the city wall.

Xu Lingjiao, who was the deputy envoy of Pu Ce on the side, felt a little uncomfortable in his heart when he saw this scene, but he had to admit that what the other party did was indeed much more competent than his own deputy envoy.

"If you go back to the general, you haven't come back yet." The person in charge of delivering the news at the door heard Park Chae's words and immediately replied.

"Have you counted the soldiers in the army?"

"Back to the general's words, the Flying Lion Battalion has been fully counted, a total of 36 people who went out and left the camp, and all have returned to the camp, with a total of 8,69 people in the whole battalion, ready to fight at any time!"

"Back to the general's words, the leopard bald battalion has been fully counted, there are no outsiders, the whole battalion has a total of nine thousand and three people, ready to fight at any time!"

“…… Camp Bear ......"

“…… Ten Thousand Crocodile Camp ......"

“…… Wild Snake Camp ......"

"The five battalions of the Zhenguo Army have a total of 49,649 people, and a total of 49,649 people should arrive, waiting for the general's orders at any time!"

In the end, Xu Lingjiao and several other lieutenants shouted in unison.

And when Nangong Jue heard their words, he reacted the situation with chess pieces on the sand table by the way, the more than 40,000 Zhenguo troops and the 50,000 vanguard troops outside the city were still evenly divided on the sand table, but once the more than 200,000 soldiers behind the Xirong clan arrived, under the strong attack, the Zhenguo army seemed to be a little insufficient!

If it weren't for the deployment of the city walls of the border city, which were repaired and reinforced every year, Nangong Jue would not dare to guarantee how long their more than 40,000 people could hold out, and whether they could wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court!

"Report!"

At this moment, the voice of the scout came, and it made Park Chaekdang even let the general report upload.

It's just that when they read the news that the scouts have found, their faces look very ugly.

The Spirit Wolf King gathered all the forces on the grassland this time, except for the 50,000 vanguard troops, the people behind them added up to only 300,000 more......

What's more, they have secretly surrounded the border city, forming a semi-encircled state.

Once it is closed, the border city will fall into an "island" situation.

"So many people are about to wrap up the border city, and you didn't even realize it until now, this is a dereliction of duty! Give me twenty sticks! ”

After reading the military report, as one of the deputy generals, Ning Guohua, who was more short-tempered, shouted angrily.

The faces of the others were also very ugly, they didn't expect that the Xirong tribe had already laid out everything, and they didn't want to think deeply about how many people had committed dereliction of duty behind this matter......

"Lao Ning, now is a special situation, when this battle is over, you can punish them as much as you want, now remember this matter first!" Hearing his words, Park Ce opened his mouth to persuade, and Ning Guohua had no choice but to suppress his anger when he heard this.

Seeing this, Pu Ce shifted his gaze to Nangong Jue, according to the military report, and planted the positions of the more than 200,000 troops with small flags in the corresponding positions of the sand table, and he understood in his heart why their people did not find out about the existence of these people, and the sudden formation of the encirclement.

"The Xijon clan came prepared this time, those people should have mixed into the ranks of the merchants in various capacities, and then stayed in Shucheng and its vicinity, although the number is huge, but the scattered locations are also very scattered.

Besides, they must have been doing this for a long time, and many of them were stuck there a long time ago, and it would be difficult to tell them apart unless we could check all the caravans and their entourage one by one! ”

And his words made Ning Guohua frown, "Lao Tzu said that those people who are covered in copper should not be allowed to trade with foreigners, look, doesn't it give the enemy a chance to lurk now?" ”

"Trade is to promote trade and establish diplomatic relations between the two states, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, Lao Ning, you can't overturn everyone with one rod!"

When the overseer Chao Zhengping heard his words, he opened his mouth to persuade, and although Ning Guohua still had some resentment on his face, he didn't say anything more.

"What Chao Jianjun said is, besides, there are already a lot of Xirong people in Shucheng, and they are also an important foothold for trade between the Xirong people and our dynasty, even if there are many Xirong people who trade for a while, it will not arouse the suspicion of others, we can't not allow them to enter the city, right? Isn't that bundle of cities a deserted city? ”

Pu Ce's other lieutenant general, Xu Wenbing, who was more gentle and had a bit of Confucian demeanor, opened his mouth and said, while Ning Guohua calmed down when he heard this, after all, he also knew very well the strategic location of Shucheng.

"Now, we have two things first, one is to settle the people in the city and appease the people's hearts, which is entrusted to the Chao Jian Army, and Deputy Envoy Xu will assist from the side.

The second is to check whether there are any spies mixed with foreign tribes in the city, and leave this to the small ...... Vice General Ning is responsible for Yu Chengshuang, remember, don't act impulsively. ”

When Pu Ce said the last sentence, he stared at Ning Guohua, which made the latter's face show a little resentment, especially what Park Ce said was that he was in charge of this matter with a little-known soldier, instead of letting the soldier assist from the side, where did he put his face as a lieutenant?
