Time pulls back to the present.

When Ning Zhi and Pei Heng went all the way north back to Xihua City, it was almost July.

The hottest month or two of the year, just walking on the road.

When he arrived in Xihua City, Ning Zhi was a little uncomfortable.

Because of being in the car for too long.

was hugged by Pei Heng: "Call the imperial doctor to take a look, just rest first." You don't have much appetite these days. ”

"It's so hot, you ride in the car every day, you definitely don't have an appetite, and you're not very good. You can take it slowly, too. Ning Zhi didn't have the strength to say.

The battle is stable, and the meaning of a big war once in five or six days.

Even, the Ta people of Lingdu do not attack the city. It's a very regular battle, half of the wins and losses.

"Okay." Pei Heng carried her back, put her on the soft couch in his own room, and touched her head. I feel even more uneasy when I don't feel hot.

After the imperial doctor came to show Ning Zhi, he said, "It's not in the way, it's because it's hot and the breath is not smooth." And because of the eating disorder, it would be nice to rest for a few days. These days, the diet is lighter, and it will be fine slowly. You don't need to take medication, but if you don't have an appetite, you can eat something appetizing. ”

"Hmm. That's good. Pei Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "Go ahead." ”

It was rare for the imperial doctors to get His Royal Highness's sentence on Ning Zhi, and they were busy thanking him.

Pei Heng was busy in the end, although he knew that he should take a break, he still went to the army.

The army knew that he was back, so naturally they wanted to see him too.

Ning Zhi drank the soothing soup and fell asleep, and Pei Heng went by himself.

"The recent war has been peaceful, but it is also unusual. Lao Chen can be regarded as a tower clan who has fought all his life. I've never seen such a peaceful battle. General Li said to Pei Heng.

"Yes, I fought before, which time was not a tired person who defended the city. This time, they seem to be gathering strength. Not too hard? General Zhao also said.

"You say, is it because the sixth prince of the tower clan is young, so he can't fight?"

"Shouldn't it? I heard that the territory outside Lingdu was not his, and after he occupied Lingdu in sixteen or seventeen, he fought with their own people for two years before it became the current scale. What's more, this tower tribe will be born to fight! ”

In the past, when the Ta people were in the Gobi grassland, they had to fight for territory from time to time.

Brothers also fight each other, how can they not fight?

"That is, there is a problem within the Tower Clan?" Pei Heng said.

"But it shouldn't be, just look at the appearance of Xihua City, even if we don't take it back, isn't it a burden for the Ta people?" Pei Heng frowned: "You know, if there is no help, inside and outside Xihua City, I don't know how many people will starve to death this year." ”

The Ta people already looked down on these inferior people. When there is a war, there is not enough food. Do you expect them to help the victims first?

Definitely not. But you can't make everyone die, what will happen when you die?

So their court can't be completely ignored. In this way, is Xihua City a burden or a benefit?

"yes, yes. We've studied it before, and the Tower Clan is not as good as it used to be. But this Lingdu doesn't look like he lacks food and drink, this is really ...... I don't understand. General Zhao shook his head.

"If you don't understand it, don't read it, anyway, no matter what, we always have to fight, let's discuss and discuss now, or as before, hit Peicheng first or Lingdu? If you fight Peicheng, then King Song and Ling Du will have to deal with it, isn't it a bit difficult? ”

"Peicheng, it's actually not easy to fight." Gongsun Kang, who had not spoken, spoke.

Gongsun Kang and Feng Luping are now in the Xihuacheng Army, and they can be regarded as a staff member. Nominally, he still follows Pei Heng.

However, everyone also knows their origins, and this is the person of the Nine Girls.

However, in the army, what is seen is ability, and sometimes the background is weak.

These two people are not straw bales, and sometimes their suggestions are very fruitful, and everyone is naturally convinced.

"After this Peicheng, there is Shengjing City. Although the original base of the Ta people was not here, they occupied it for more than 20 years, and their kings lived in the city. Obviously, it's important. Peicheng is defeated, and we are afraid that we will not be able to defend it well. What's more, if they value Sheng Jing, I'm afraid they won't be easily defeated by us. ”

"yes." Pei Heng sighed lightly: "Peicheng is not easy to gnaw." The main hall even thought about starting somewhere else. But ......" Pei Heng paused: "What if you gnaw the hard ones first?" Shengjing City is not so important to the Ta people after all, what if we can take Shengjing City as well? ”

"You don't have to think that I'm young and don't know the depths. You just think about it, if we can take Shengjing City within a few years. Isn't it easier for the rest of the cities? Moreover, the main hall has already thought about it, as long as Peicheng is taken, it will fight with Weinan and Weibei on three sides, and take Licheng in one go! At that time, Licheng will get it, how long can Shengjing City last? ”

"Although we can't be rash about fighting a war, if we really go that far, what is the morale of our army? What about the Tatars? Although it is difficult, after many difficult things, it is smooth. ”

"Your Highness is very right! It's just that you have to think long-term and have a complete plan. If we fight like this, we must guard against Song Qingming. At least a part of the people will be set aside to clean him up. We can't try our best to fight Peicheng and Shengjing, and that side is mixed by Ling Du and Song Qingming. Feng Luping said: "Actually, my subordinates feel that the Zuozhou garrison and the people of the King of Lingnan can temporarily cooperate and take Jiangdong back first." As soon as Jiangdong was broken, the morale of our army soared. Moreover, Koto was run by the Song clan for many years. That Meng Du called the Song family to take over for more than a hundred years. Once we take it, we will fight the Ta clan, and the military salary and military food will be able to eat for at least five years! ”

"Makes sense!"

"It's about planning your plan."

Pei Heng nodded: "Don't worry, no matter how you fight first, you have to wait until the first crop of this year is harvested." Always have to eat. Fortunately, it's July, and the harvest is in more than a month. The main hall doesn't know much about farming, but along the way, I heard from people from all over the world that this year's harvest is good? Pei Heng asked with a smile.

"It's good, it's good, it's been good for years in a row. If there is no internal disaster, there will be a surplus of this grain. At least now we are not short of food and grass. ”

"Yes, the heavens are beautiful, and the recovery of the north is just around the corner." The old General Li said so, can everyone not laugh?

Yes, everything, for the good.

At night, Pei Heng told Ning Zhi about it.

Ning Zhi slept in the house, and after getting up and drinking soup and snacks, he was already much more comfortable. It's no longer a lack of energy.

After listening to Pei Heng, she stuffed Pei Heng with a grape first, and the grapes were good this year.
