Chapter 16: The Gamble of Rongcheng

Eastern Jin Dynasty court

"Your Majesty, Border Emergency"

"Submit it" Sima Jian eagerly got up to take the secret letter and quickly browsed it.

"Good, good! I can't imagine that there are such talents in our army, and they can annihilate more than 20,000 enemy troops with more than 7,000 troops, and when this battle is over, I will reward this kid named Ning Jun! After reading it, Sima Wei passed the letter down, his face full of excitement.

"This Ning Jun is indeed a talent, he is wise and brave at a young age, he is really terrifying!" Imperial Doctor Li Jingming praised with an appreciative face.

"Yes, what a young talent!"

"I have a successor to the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

After the secret letter at the border pass was circulated, seeing Long Yan Dayue, the ministers below all praised Ning Junlai, boasting everything, almost saying that he was a god descending from heaven.

Xu Mengmeng didn't know that the two battles of Baishipo had spread to the capital, and she was still on fire in the capital under the name of Ning Jun. What she is having a headache now is the food problem of the 10,000 soldiers in this city, yes, now there is no food in Rongcheng, and the reinforcements will arrive at least two days away, and she doesn't know how much food others can bring over.

"General Wu, is Chen Ming's guy really not hiding grain elsewhere?" Xu Mengmeng still asked without giving up.

"No, I gave him all the torture tools in the prison, and even let him try two kinds of them, and he gave him an explanation! I had already sent a small team to Cloud City the day before yesterday to collect food, but it may not be until the morning after tomorrow at the earliest! Wu Feng was also a little worried.

"The attack of Western Chu was sudden, and most of the people in the city fled in a hurry, maybe some people have stored food and have not taken it away, why don't we go to those empty houses and rummage through them?" Just when everyone was at a loss, the words of the snack goods in the twelve horses made everyone's eyes shine.

"Isn't that right? When the time comes, Xichu will withdraw from the army, and the people of Rongcheng will come back and find that the food at home is gone. Although Xu Mengmeng was a little moved by this proposal, he couldn't bear to pit his own people.

"How much grain is found from which household and how much grain I will have people register, and when the people come back, I will ask the brothers to make up the silver to them, Brother Ning Xian, what do you think of this method?"

"Well, just listen to the general! However, the general still has to give an explanation to the brothers, after all, the brothers are used to being rude, and it would not be good if they destroyed other people's good houses in order to find food! ”

"It's nature!"

There was a glimmer of life in the food problem, and Xu Mengmeng immediately took action and threw himself into the great cause of finding food like a little mouse with the sergeants of the whole army. Not to mention, compared to this group of ancients, Xu Mengmeng is simply weak in this regard, everyone else can more or less dig up something, she was busy all morning but didn't catch anything, which is very frustrating!

"Young master, you can't find it if you look for it like this! Look at where they're looking, and look at the ones you're looking for! "I can't stand the glimpse of the most searchable.

In the barrel under the well! In the cracks of the wall! On the beams! Oh my God! Did the ancient people play hide and seek so well? Looking at the various strange places where others found food, Xu Mengmeng had to admit that he really underestimated the wisdom of the ancient working people before.

Although I searched the whole city and didn't find much food, everyone still had a bowl of gruel and a coarse grain steamed bun today. Sure enough, in ancient times, for Xu Mengmeng, the biggest problem was the problem of eating, and it was really not easy to eat a normal meal! Let's end this war with Rausch!

So when Ye Ting came to call for battle with a large team of people the next day, he found that Ning Jun, who was still smiling at him yesterday, had a bad temper today that made people want to beat him.

"I said Ye Ting, you are also a man! Can you do things faster? I want the little prince's life and refuse to retreat, and I bring a large group of people to our city all day long to shout, you are not boring, I am also too spicy! ”

Xu Mengmeng was hiding in the quilt and was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and he heard that Ye Ting had gathered a large group of soldiers at the city gate, and suddenly there was a burst of fire, and when he went up to the city tower, he yelled at Ye Ting.

"Ning Jun, you fight with me, if you win me, I will immediately withdraw from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if I win you, you will return the Nine Emperors to us, and we will fight when your reinforcements arrive, how about it?" Hearing Ye Ting's words, Xu Mengmeng rolled her eyes directly.

This Xichu people are really going to engage in double standards, I dig a pit and bury a needle, and they will call me despicable and shameless, but people know that I am not an opponent and still want to fight me, but they can still make a bet without blushing and heartbeat.

"Ye Ting, your face is really big! Okay, Lao Tzu put the words here today, if you win me today, Rongcheng will offer it with both hands, if you lose today, not only will you immediately withdraw from my Eastern Jin Dynasty, but also put the people of Yicheng who you have slaughtered into the ground, and kowtow to apologize, if the group of men behind you agree, then we will see you in the open space under the city in an hour, if you don't agree, don't shout here! In addition, you and I will fight a duel of life and death, and the weapon is optional! ”

Although Xu Mengmeng hadn't seen this Ye Ting's power, she didn't think that she would lose in a real duel, and she might be beaten down in minutes with her bare hands, but if you have a weapon, who loses and who wins! Who made her the best one never even see twelve rides!

"Brother Ning Xian, you were still too impulsive just now! Ay! Wu Feng patted Xu Mengmeng's shoulder and shook his head gently.

"General Wu, it's a big deal that after I lose, let's just turn back once, don't forget that we still have a talisman here! So the most important thing now is to get me something delicious quickly, otherwise I'm afraid I'll faint from hunger before I even walk in front of Ye Ting! ”

Xu Mengmeng's words made Wu Feng's eyes light up, but the soldiers of the whole army were still not optimistic about her, and even the twelve horsemen felt that she was the idea of fighting against the water after defeat, and Xu Mengmeng did not give any explanation for this, just waiting for a while to blind their eyes.

After eating and drinking, Xu Mengmeng went back to the room and stayed for half an hour before strolling towards the open space outside the city, and Xi Chu's side estimated that the discussion had already been completed, because Ye Ting's house was standing there quietly waiting for her.

Before he got closer, Ye Ting's sharp eyes shot over, Xu Mengmeng was almost so frightened that he knelt for him, this guy's eyes are sharp enough, he really deserves to be a general of a country, and he has to cultivate again!

In line with the principle that a loser cannot lose the position, Xu Mengmeng's hand behind his back was slightly clenched, and he straightened his waist and walked in front of Ye Ting without hurrying, and he was very breezy.

"It seems that General Ye and I are both affectionate and righteous people who have the world in mind, so let's fight on behalf of the two armies today! Avoid more unnecessary sacrifices! General Ye, I hope your subordinates will be merciful for a while! You know I'm just a scholar! Xu Mengmeng blinked.
