The cities outside Peicheng refer to the large and small cities of the neighboring cities. These cities originally belonged to the forces of Jiangzhi, but because of the invasion of the Pei army, they were occupied by the Pei army.

The original number of civilians in the city was small, and they were basically workers and farmers, as well as some technicians. At the time of the invasion of the Pei army, a large number of civilians followed the small army to move to other cities, and a small number of them became displaced people because they did not escape in time.

Later, the coalition intervened against the Pei army and recaptured many cities. But after all, these cities originally belonged to the Jiangzhi forces, so the coalition forces did not stay in the cities for a long time, but let several defenders of the Jiangzhi forces control the cities.

A city cannot be operated by a few defenders alone, and it is equivalent to being abandoned. Ready-made resources have long been snatched up, and those that need to be mined need manpower to sustain them.

The situation is not yet secure, and the civilians who left before are simply reluctant to return to these cities. Even if it does, it will take a lot of time and effort to restore the entire city to life.

Now, all the forces of the coalition have come to ask for credit, and Peicheng is inseparable, and it is a good idea to temporarily lend those abandoned cities to the coalition forces.

"That's a good suggestion, but how long do you think it will be?" Jiang Feng asked.

"The various forces of the coalition must hope that the longer the better, but in terms of time, we must keep a bottom line, not too long, it is recommended that it is less than a year." Pang Long said.

"No, a year is still too long, at most half a year for rent." Song Yuan replied.

"Considering that they need time and manpower to re-operate the city, and that it takes time to extract resources in the city, if it is only half a year, they must not be happy." Pang Long replied.

"But a year is still too long, and as the saying goes, it's easier to ask God than to send God, and the longer it goes, the more they don't want to leave." Song Yuan replied.

"It's true, a year does make them not want to leave. But whether he will leave or not depends on the situation. Pang Long said.

"Pang Long is really wise," Jiang Feng smiled, "Indeed, a lot can happen in a year, and if Jiang Zhi's forces become richer and stronger, they will have to leave." If the forces of the river grow tired, they will occupy the city and not return it. ”

"Exactly, then how is the lord's confidence?" Pang Long replied.

"With two people to help, full of confidence."

"The lord is wise."

"Then do it, I'll go talk to those messengers first, and you'll do your bidding." After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he left first.

When only Song Yuan and Pang Long were left in the private conference room, Song Yuan said to Pang Long a little unhappily: "Your suggestion is really not good, a year, there will be endless troubles." ”

"If you don't give a year, this matter will not be good for a while, and it may not be resolved and become a mess. At that time, the various forces of the coalition will definitely complain, and the lords will also lose their hearts. ”

"So for the sake of people's hearts, Jiang Feng can only suffer?"

"Suffer, but ignore the loss. This is enough, and after a year, if they don't pay it back, the lord will be famous. At that time, not only will you take back your own city, but you will also be able to annex those forces. ”

"I see, you're worried that because of the friendship of friends, Jiang Feng won't be able to turn his face with them. Therefore, from now on, it is necessary to lay the groundwork for future reunification. ”

"Exactly

Such. ”

"Pang Long, I was really right, you are not only good at divination, but also intelligent, a genius in the world."

"Don't dare to be, in terms of divination ability, it is far inferior to Mr. Song."

"Really, I said it all, don't be polite to me, who of us is with whom."

"Don't violate the courtesy, don't violate the way of the son." Pang Long bowed to Song Yuan.

What does that mean? Why are you telling me this? ”

"I'm really sorry, I'm going to go to the hotel now, Su Yue said goodbye without saying goodbye, Su Jie was heartbroken at this time, I had to deal with it quickly, I was out of company."

After Pang Long left, Song Yuan was directly stunned. What was in his mind was not Su Jie's matter, but what Pang Long said.

Do not violate the courtesy, do not violate the way of the son. What Pang Long said seems to have a deep meaning, even insinuation.

First of all, it is easy to understand that it is not against the courtesy, that is, even if Jiang Feng is a person who is very good at talking, he is the lord of Jiang Zhi's forces after all. When Pang Long first entered the Jiang River, he naturally didn't dare to be rude. But Song Yuan and Jiang Feng are old friends, and they are close friends, so they can usually call them by their names, and they don't have to call their lords.

The second is not to violate the Tao of the son, and the son represents the meaning of the younger generation. Pang Long was very young, just in his early twenties, several years younger than Song Yuan. In addition, Song Yuan was a veteran figure of Jiang Zhi's forces, so Pang Long treated Song Yuan like a junior treated an elder, and his words were full of respect.

These are just superficial meanings, Pang Long seems to have more profound meanings, but Song Yuan can't figure it out for a while.

On the other side, the Haneda Hotel.

At this time, Su Jie was standing on the rooftop of the hotel, she climbed to the highest terrace, looking at the north, her face was full of tears.

"Su Jie, come down quickly, what are you doing standing so high?" As soon as Pang Long came out of the corridor, he shouted to Su Jie.

"You don't care about me, my sister doesn't want me anymore, and you don't care about me anymore." Su Jie cried.

"Fool, who said your sister doesn't want you anymore." Pang Long jumped to the highest terrace and grabbed Su Jie's arm.

"My sister is gone, and she didn't even tell me goodbye." Su Jie cried aggrievedly.

"If I say goodbye to you, it's not as easy to walk away. You have to understand your sister's distress, she doesn't go to the mountains and rivers, she goes to the battlefield. And you, a weak woman, will not help you by going to the battlefield, but will become a burden. Pang Long explained.

"But my sister promised me that she would let me follow her in the future."

"Once the war is over, you can follow her."

"Are you lying to me? Why didn't she explain it to me personally? Su Jie said sadly.

"Parting is painful, Su Yue can't bear to see you crying, so she doesn't say goodbye. But she left a letter, which she wrote after you had fallen asleep, and gave it to me early in the morning, so that I could give it to you on your behalf. Pang Long hurriedly took out the letter from the big pocket of his clothes.

Su Jie hurriedly opened it, and after reading it, she cried even more.

Although he cried even more, Pang Long was relieved, because Su Jie's crying was no longer sad, but moving.

Pang Long had never read the letter, but when Su Jie read the letter, he accidentally aimed at the last line: Xiaojie, wait for me to pick you up.

A thousand words of comfort, sublimated with the last word. With this sentence, Su Jie's crying turned from sadness to happiness.

On the other side, Jiang Feng had a meeting with the envoys for nearly three hours.

Finally, the messengers returned satisfied.

In the evening, Jiang Feng called everyone to make one last arrangement for Peicheng.

Under the recommendation of Pang Long, Jiang Feng appointed Deyuan as the city lord of Peicheng, in charge of administration and military affairs. Ding Cheng was the deputy city lord of Peicheng, in charge of military affairs and administration. Tian Xiaodong is the secretary general of administration and coordinates government affairs.

After dealing with the matter of Peicheng, Jiang Feng, Jiang Wei, Song Yuan, and Pang Long took a military helicopter and flew to Jiangmeng City and Wangcheng.

On the other side, Ningtai City.

Ao Lie was in a military meeting, and when he finished reading the battle reports from all over the country, he was so angry that he threw the document in the general's face.

"Why defeat after defeat? Why? Why? Why hasn't there been a single victory in these three days? Ao Lie said angrily.

All the soldiers actually understand why, that is, the Ao Lie army has long been demoralized. There are two reasons, one is that the battlefield of the Northern Underworld has come to an end, the defeat of the zombie clan is doomed, and the forces of Jiang Zhi will lead the main army back to Wangcheng at any time. Not to mention that you can't occupy Wangcheng now, even if you occupy Wangcheng, what can you do? When Jiang Feng personally led the army back, it would be impossible for Ao Zhi's forces to stop it.

There is also a very important reason, that is, the land of Xichuan is gradually being eroded by Kaiding. Originally, it was thought that the terrain of Xichuan was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only a small number of troops could defend Kaiding's army. But the battle of Wangcheng dragged on for too long, and it took more than half a year, from spring to autumn. For such a long time, Kaiding finally succeeded in occupying the main city of Xichuan.

Today, there are a large number of displaced people and refugees in Xichuan, who have poured into the southwest of Xichuan, the poorest area. Many of these people are relatives of front-line soldiers. The soldiers are now less and less inclined to fight meaningless battles, and they now just want to return to Sichuan as soon as possible to rescue their relatives.

Seeing the sad faces of the soldiers one by one, Ao Lie was so angry that he couldn't even hold the meeting.

"Get out, get out of here."

Ao Lie dismissed the soldiers, and he sat on the table with a sad face.

Everyone was gone, but Guo Jia was still standing next to Ao Lie.

"Guo Jia, you say, am I wrong?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Yes, until now, I still can't listen to the truth."

"As for right and wrong, I told you half a year ago. We are unknown, and this is not a battle of glory. On the contrary, Jiang Feng received help from various forces in Yan and Huang, even from the American continent. The reason is very simple, because Jiang Feng's spearhead is zombies, and we have pointed our weapons at humans. ”

"So you're disappointed?"

"It's a big disappointment."

"Hehe, hehe, it's been half a year, and you didn't say this to me until today." Ao Lie's eyes gradually became extremely moist.

"I have advised you countless times to return to the dynasty, at least to ensure that the foundation of Xichuan is solid. Whether it is Xichuan or the front-line army today, it is like a plate of scattered sand, and there is no way to save it. ”

"Guo Jia, what kind of fart are you farting, what is it called incurable?" Ao Lie finally couldn't help it in the face of Guo Jia's rude words.

"Didn't you tell me the truth? How? Can't hear the truth now? Half a year later, are you still unrepentant? The war in the past six months is not called a war at all, but your venting, just your personal venting. Guo Jia actually scolded, this was the first time he spoke to Ao Lie with such an attitude.
