Chapter 187: The Siege of the City

The location of Qi Jinwan's military camp is about 600 miles away from the guarded pass.

The army only marched fifty miles a day, and ten days later, there were only about 100 miles left from the guarded pass, and Qi Jinwan ordered the three armies to set up camp at this moment.

Order all the soldiers not to take off their clothes and armor, and not to leave the saddle, and the whole army is waiting for them to strictly prevent Mu Jinyun from coming to attack the camp.

Subsequently, he ordered the mortal soldiers and the old, weak, sick and disabled who had been left behind to build a city on the spot in the back camp.

For the length, height, width and materials of the city, he has made clear requirements, strictly ordered that the construction must be carried out in accordance with the regulations, if there are those who cut corners, immediately beheaded!

Then ask Tang Zhengquan to urgently ask Chen Haotian for help, and quickly allocate relevant city construction materials and city defense equipment to the front line.

Tang Zhengquan seemed to understand a little bit of what this eldest prince wanted to do, so he naturally obeyed his orders, and after explaining it to Chen Haotian, the latter also fully cooperated.

There are many people who are easy to work, and after the whole army is busy with work, a majestic city rises up hundreds of miles away from the guarded pass.

During this period, Mu Jinyun sent troops to attack tentatively several times, but Qi Jinwan waited for the battle, only defended but did not attack, making the field advantage of the southern army useless.

After several unsuccessful assaults, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Mu Jinyun had no choice but to give up and let Qi Jinwan engage in real estate development under his nose.

A few months later, the city was built, and Qi Jinwan gave an order, and the front army was still stationed in Dazhai, and the Chinese army and the rear army were guarding the city, and the front army Dazhai was each other's horns.

Then he issued an order to build a city wall in the shape of a crescent moon on the basis of the city, one south and one north, and the city wall extended to both sides, and gathered towards the guarded pass.

He also asked Chen Haotian to squeeze out 2 million troops from the rear, and 2 million troops from the middle army and the rear army, a total of 4 million men and horses, divided into left and right escort armies, to defend the smooth progress of the project.

It is still strictly ordered that all armies should only defend and not attack, make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and not fight with Mujin Yunye.

At this time, Qi Jinwan's intention can be seen even by a fool, this is to build a siege city, trap the guards, and thus trap the military power in the south.

Outside the pass, in the big tent of the Mujin Yunzhong Army, all the civil and military forces were furious, and unanimously asked the king to send troops quickly, even if it was a strong attack, he would break Qi Jinwan's intention at any cost.

Compared with the ministers, Mu Jinyun seemed calm and impatient, without a trace of impatience, and in the end, he overrode the public opinion and decided to let Qi Jinwan build the siege.

Mu Jinyun had discussed with the military pavilion before, and his opinion was that Qi Jinwan's intention was nothing more than to temporarily avoid the military might of the south, so that he could have a chance to breathe.

But in fact, this is also to help the south again, it seems to surround the southern seven states, but in fact, it also surrounds themselves, which can make Mu Jinyun arrange everything more calmly, and then send a big gift to Chen Haotian, that is, a fatal blow.

Regarding Mu Jinyun's opinion, the military pavilion was divided into two factions, one faction was Ran Chang, who resolutely opposed allowing Qi Jinwan to build a city, and suggested that the king must decisively send troops to destroy the besieged city at all costs, and fight to the death with Qi Jinwan.

The other faction is Yi Pei, who resolutely supports Mu Jinyun's opinion, and feels that Qi Jinwan is actually showing weakness by doing this.

From then on, this besieged city will forever become an insurmountable obstacle for Chen Haotian, which seems to surround the south, but in fact surrounds the ambition to go south, and strengthens the perception that the south is invincible.

In fact, Mu Jinyun's true purpose has been guessed by Chong Pei, and Chong Pei agrees with the king's idea, he can fully understand what the king means by calmly arranging everything.

He knows very well that this so-called calm arrangement does take time, and it needs a relatively stable situation, but there are some things that can't be said to Ran Changming.

Regarding Ran Chang's attitude, Mu Jinyun and Yi Pei didn't feel surprised, but to their surprise, Xiao Xiangyi, who has always been steady and has a good grasp of the overall situation, Princess Xiao, who is known as the first wise man in the Jade Immortal Realm, actually agreed with Ran Chang's opinion, which made the two strange.

Of course, Xiao Xiangyi knew what kind of ghost Mu Jinyun was fighting, and of course she was in favor of doing so, but she was not angry and couldn't see her sweetheart calculating him repeatedly, so she deliberately sang against him and lost her temper.

The opinions of the military pavilion were inconsistent, and in the end, Mu Jinyun made a decision, so he acted according to his own decision, and let Qi Jinwan build the city, and the guards only needed to strengthen the defense, and they didn't need to pay attention to Qi Jinwan's actions, as long as the other party did not attack the city, we should not take the initiative to attack.

......

On the night of the monarch's deliberations, Mu Jinyun called Xiao Xiangyi and asked Gong Shaoxue to lead her into the inner tent to change back into her daughter's clothes.

In order to hide her identity, Xiao Xiangyi has been wearing men's clothes and masks, appearing in front of the ministers as a mysterious person, although everyone knows who she is, and she has always called Princess Xiao in her mouth, but as long as people don't take off the mask, you can't be sure who she is.

You don't care if it's too much to do this, and whether you want to cover it up, anyway, Xiao Xiangyi has always insisted on doing this, and no one can convince her.

Xiao Xiangyi's face was full of shame, and she said coquettishly: "What are you going to do here?"

Mu Jinyun smiled and didn't answer, just urged her to change her clothes as soon as possible, the second daughter didn't know her intentions, and seeing that her attitude was serious and not like a joke, she entered the inner tent as she said.

In Xiao Xiangyi's storage ring, there is a daughter's outfit, which is convenient when you want to change clothes.

After a short time, Xiao Xiangyi finished changing clothes, and accompanied by Gong Shaoxue, they returned to the front tent together.

Mu Jinyun only felt that his eyes were bright, the two daughters had their own merits, Xiao Xiangyi was like autumn water, and Gong Shaoxue was like Jiaoyang, all of them were extremely beautiful and unparalleled.

Brother Mu sat there, sighing and constantly admiring, the second daughter was happy in her heart, and in the end, Gong Shaoxue asked: "Big pervert, you let Sister Xinyi change back into her daughter's clothes, what are your bad intentions, hurry up and recruit from the truth!"

Mu Jinyun said: "Xue'er, don't make trouble, I'll let Xinyi change back into my daughter's clothes, naturally there are arrangements, Xinyi, you sit down first!"

Xiao Xiangyi sat beside him according to his words, looking at his lover with beautiful eyes, and his eyes were full of spring.

Mu Jinyun secretly said in his heart: "Eldest sister, don't look at me like this, brother, I really have serious things!"

He deliberately pretended not to see it, and said in a deep voice: "Xinyi, I think you should go back!"

Xiao Xiangyi was stunned, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she said softly: "I know, it's just that I'm a little reluctant to you!"

Mu Jinyun took one of her hands and said affectionately: "In order for us to be able to stay together for a long time in the future, the temporary difference is nothing, Xinyi, I have suffered you!"

Xiao Xiangyi replied shyly: "I understand, I should go back, but we said before, you have to summon me every day, you are not allowed to cheat!"

Mu Jinyun immediately patted his chest and made a guarantee to Xiao Xiangyi.

The next thing has to do with changing back into a daughter's outfit.

Mu Jinyun told her seriously that he was not worried about letting her return to Tianwei Kingdom alone.

Although Xiao Xiangyi is strategic, this time she goes back is not as usual, she usually only needs to maintain the status quo and not touch the still water in this pool, but this time she wants to take the initiative to muddy the clear water in this pool!

Mu Jinyun bluntly said that Xiao Xiangyi has two closest right-hand men by her side, one is Uncle Jiang and the other is Yan'er.

He was worried that Xiao Xiangyi would be lonely and would not be able to speak, so he wanted to send her two followers to help her.

asked Xiao Xiangyi to change back into her daughter's outfit to prepare to reveal the truth to these two people, so that they could know it in their hearts.

Xiao Xiangyi only then figured out the true intentions of her sweetheart, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she still said in general terms: "Okay, I can accept your suggestion, I don't know which two people Gongzi is going to let go back with me." ”

Mu Jinyun said with a smile: "These two people know each other, one is Yi Pei, and the other is Daquan. ”

Xiao Xiangyi frowned slightly, and felt a little unhappy in her heart, the talents of these two people are understandable, but in terms of character, she is very disliked, and she didn't say anything for a while, and she was silent.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyun understood and knew that she was not very satisfied with this arrangement.

ruthless, he ignored Xiao Xiangyi's attitude, and instructed Gong Shaoxue: "Xue'er, call Yi Pei and Daquan, Xinyi, don't move, everything is subject to my arrangement." ”

Xiao Xiangyi glanced at him calmly, sighed, lowered her head, and secretly made up her mind, since you have made up your mind, I might as well ask for my life in public for a while, asking the two of them to obey my arrangement and give me the right to cut first and then play, otherwise, I will never take them back.

After a while, Yi Pei and Daquan arrived one after another, first waiting outside the tent, and after Mu Jinyun and the others arrived, they asked Gong Shaoxue to call them in together.

After Yi Pei and Daquan entered the tent, they saw a gorgeous, gentle and graceful woman sitting next to the king, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, and immediately lowered their heads and kowtowed to the king.

Mu Jinyun let the two of them get up, then pointed at Xiao Xiangyi and asked, "Do you two know who she is?"

How can there be anything that she doesn't know, she must be Princess Xiao, the wife of the king, and their princess Xiao, but since the king asked so, they must answer that they don't know.

The two shook their heads together very obediently, both saying that they didn't know, Mu Jinyun asked Xiao Xiangyi to put on a mask, and the latter said that he was very helpless and put the mask back on his face very unhappily.

Yi Pei and Daquan were suddenly "shocked", both of them are extremely smart people, and their ability to pretend is extremely strong.

Yi Pei pretended to stammer: "Xiao, Princess Xiao!"

Mu Jinyun was very satisfied with their performance, and did not expose them, and deliberately laughed: "Yes, it is the wife of this king, your princess Xiao!"

Yi Pei and Daquan immediately showed a sudden realization.

These two people are the kind of people who are extremely smart and good at observing words and feelings, knowing that the king's play must have another deep meaning, and hurriedly bowed to Xiao Xiangyi: "Minister, Yi Pei, Daquan, knock on Princess Xiao, Princess Xiao Wanfu Jin'an!"

Mu Jinyun waited for a while, but didn't hear Xiao Xiangyi tell the two of them to flatten down, turned his head, and kept glancing at her, who didn't react at all like a wooden man.

It's not that Xiao Xiangyi has a big shelf, but Princess Xiao's luck there, this lack of morality, is it interesting to do this play, who doesn't know who I am, you monarchs and ministers are here to tease me!

Mu Jinyun felt a little embarrassed, Princess Xiao didn't pay attention to this stubble at all, and there was no need to act in the next emotional drama.

He wanted to be lyrical, and he spoke about the pros and cons in a serious and straightforward manner, which made Xiao Xiangyi moved, but from his idea, he didn't think that people would not follow the routine, what should I do?

Brother Mu couldn't help but secretly feel to himself, these thousand-year-old demons are really difficult to deal with, just blind fortune telling, just say it bluntly, don't talk nonsense.
