Shangguan Yu surrounded Longcheng and was not in a hurry to attack, but just surrounded.

Seeing that Long Cheng was at his fingertips, but at this moment, Shangguan Yu was surrounded and did not fight, which made the generals a little puzzled. Shangguan Yu just ordered to go down, and all the soldiers set up camp to be vigilant to prevent the defenders in the city from stealing the camp.

After the whole army was stationed, it was already evening, and Shangguan Yu was anxious for the generals to hold a meeting.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shangguan Yu sat in the position of the commander, and he sat with Yan Chen on the left, Xia Xiaomi on the right, and Tu Feng, Yan Chen and the four brothers of the Yan family in the first place below.

Shangguan Yu looked at the generals, there were actually twenty or thirty people, and he was also very excited in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he could build such a great cause.

After the personnel arrived, Shangguan Yu first inquired about the guard work in the army, and after confirming that everything was in place, he asked about the situation in the city.

One of the generals replied: "According to our spies in the city, there are only 50,000 defenders in the city, and now the capital is in chaos. ”

As soon as the general finished speaking, a general followed and said, "Lord, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to capture Dragon City?" ”

Shangguan Yu smiled and said: "Attacking the city, there will inevitably be casualties, and now the Dragon City is already in the bag, why should we rush at this time?" How much food and grass are left in the army? ”

An officer said: "My lord, because of the large number of our army, the daily expenses are also very large. There are still ten days' worth of grain and grass in the army. ”

Shangguan Yu knocked on the table and groaned: 400,000 troops, one person eats one catty a day, which is 400,000 catties, which is equal to 200 tons, and my God, I have to eat 200 tons just by eating every day! Ten days' worth of food, that is, two thousand tons of grain. I thought that marching and fighting would be exciting, fun and fulfilling, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

Shangguan Yu has been in the other world for a month, and the portal has not yet been opened, originally he was hoarded in Chilong Mountain and did not fight the capital, in order to delay time, and he didn't expect that the Quartet would return to obedience, and the capital was about to be defeated.

Once the capital is taken, these people will inevitably recommend him Shangguan Yu as the emperor, and if he becomes the emperor, he will marry Yan Chen as the queen, and then he will fail Zhao Yi.

Therefore, Shangguan Yu's heart now is not that he doesn't want to take the capital quickly, but that he wants to continue to delay time, maybe it won't be long before this portal will open and he can go.

And now that the food is only enough for ten days, Shangguan Yu means to besiege the capital for at least a month, and as long as the current emperor does not surrender, he will always surround it without fighting.

In that case, we have to find a way to get food.

After muttering for a long time, everyone was waiting for him to speak, Shangguan Yu said: "Surround but not fight, first, it can reduce or even no casualties, and if you do it without blood, you will take the capital, and the people will have fewer casualties, and the people of the world will be obedient, isn't this a great thing?" ”

Tu Feng said: "Lord, this method is good, but what if the emperor can't keep it?" Are we going to keep going around? We only have enough food for 10 days. ”

"This is easy to do," Shangguan Yu said, "go back and ask the quartermaster to go around collecting food, if the money is not enough, I will find a way." ”

Hearing Shangguan Yu say that they had to find a way to raise money, Yan Chen and Xia Xiaomi laughed secretly, they knew what method Shangguan Yu would use to raise money, the old way, gambling money!

Shangguan Yu said again: "There are only 50,000 people in the city, and at this moment the morale must be low and the people's hearts are weak, and we are strong and strong, and the morale is high, so we can also take this opportunity to recuperate and prepare for the attack." The quartermaster organized 100,000 people to go around to collect grain, and what needs to be explained is that it is absolutely not allowed to take and plunder, and if anyone takes something from the common people and does not give money, or if there is a forced purchase and sale, once discovered, he will be beheaded and shown to the public, and will not be tolerated! ”

Everyone said yes, and another officer asked: "Lord, the military discipline is strict, needless to say, but what if there are people who send money and food?" ”

Shangguan Yu said: "As long as it is not persecuted, we can still accept it, how can we say that this is also a piece of kindness from the people, right?" ”

Everyone laughed and said yes.

"In this way," Shangguan Yu said, "for the time being, it has been decided, surround but not fight, strengthen vigilance, and collect food everywhere, first, to prevent the enemy army from going out of the city to steal the camp, and second, to prevent the local army from rushing to the aid and robbing the camp." Okay, let's go and rest. ”

After all the generals left, Shangguan Yu left Yan Chen and Xia Xiaomi, and there were only three of them left in the big tent at this moment.

Shangguan Yu said: "I can't sleep at night, do you want to play some excitement with me?"

Hearing that she was going to play, Xia Xiaomi hurriedly said excitedly: "I'm going, I'm going!" ”

"I didn't say anything, you're going to go, do you know what I'm going to do?"

"What for?"

Shangguan Yu lowered his voice and whispered, "Go to the palace to play a trick." ”

When they heard that they were going to break into the palace at night, the two girls immediately became interested and said that they wanted to go.

Shangguan Yu said: "Since you all want to go to the palace with me, then we will have three chapters of the law." ”

"What is it, you say it," Xia Xiaomi said.

"First, all actions are subject to command, and no single action is allowed, and no willful running is allowed."

"This can be had, but what about two?"

"The second is, when we break into the palace at night, we must be strong and silent, so that the emperor's people can't find us, even if we can fight again, we can't expose our whereabouts, understand? Thirdly, and most importantly, we are going on a treasure hunt, and we have heard that there are many treasures in the palace, and when we go in, no matter if we can find gold, silver, jewelry, or how many we find, I say go, we have to leave immediately, understand? ”

Both nodded in understanding.

Shangguan Yu sent someone to call the four Yan Long brothers to the big tent and said: "The three of us have something important to go out, the four of you brothers stay here, and when you are sleepy, you lie on the table to sleep, we don't come back, we are not allowed to go anywhere, in case of emergencies, you can get in touch with me through this machine bee." Also, no one is allowed to enter this account, and it is strictly kept secret. ”

"Yes, my lord!" The four of them received the order, and sat down in the big tent to rest. Shangguan Yu and the three of them changed into night clothes and quietly left the big tent.

Walking in the camp tent, from time to time, there were night patrol soldiers who asked, and Shangguan Yu signaled not to make a noise. When he came to the moat, Shangguan Yu turned around and asked, "Do you two know how to swim?" ”

Both of them nodded, and Xia Xiaomi asked, "Isn't it okay to fly over directly?" ”

Shangguan Yu said: "Your light wings have bright light, whether it is a frisbee or a misty straight, there is too much noise when flying, and this writing is easy to alarm the enemy, so I can only dive over." ”

Xia Xiaomi said again: "But after crossing the moat, don't you still have to fly over?" ”

Shangguan Yu smiled: "Just follow me." ”

With that, he led the two and began to walk around the moat.
