Chapter 881: Siege

Chu Wenting hoped that Zhang Nan could make a move, but knew that this possibility was almost zero.

Zhang Nan once told the hosts that he would not take direct action this time. When he sent the system task, he also hinted many times that he had the trouble of not being able to make a move. Although the hosts had fought independently before, they would subconsciously take Zhang Nan into account. Knowing that once something can't be done, Zhang Nan will definitely come forward to turn the tide.

However, this time the army has been overwhelmed, but Zhang Nan didn't even ask.

Chu Wenting knew that it was all handed over to her. It is a trust in her, but also a test for her. This test was given to her by Zhang Nan, but at the same time, it was something she was destined to face.

"Dad, this level is difficult...... Chu Wenting exhaled deeply and turned around to go down to the city.

In the palace, the emperor and ministers were still waiting for her. Lin Qingqing and Nalan Zishuang left, Situ Xiazhen also left a few days ago, and the new capital at this time could only rely on her.

Chu Wenting, who was preoccupied, didn't notice that somewhere at the far end of the city wall, Zhang Nan was standing there. Hidden behind a few flags, he looked at her with some distress.

In fact, in the past few days, Zhang Nan has been a little entangled, especially after Situ Xiazhen left, and he felt even more sorry for his little Lori.

Chu Wenting is the youngest, but the things she comes into contact with are the most complicated.

People's hearts, scheming, these words should not be put together with a girl, especially Chu Wenting is almost not even up to the standard of a girl, she is a real child.

It seems that Chu Wenting is very good at some things in calculation, and many people think so. But perhaps only Zhang Nan, Situ Xiazhen and others know that Chu Wenting is good at it, but in fact, she is very repulsive in her heart.

When I was young, I figured out people's hearts because little Lori was naughty and mischievous, and she regarded those as games. But when you get older, calculation is a pure means, and Chu Wenting doesn't like that, but she has to do it. This kind of compulsive way, although it can accomplish some things, also leaves loopholes.

Because Chu Wenting has always had a certain sense of guilt, she has always subconsciously thought that she is doing something wrong, and even thinks that she is becoming bad. This made her panic, but she didn't dare to tell anyone.

Zhang Nan didn't notice it when he first returned to Qingzhou, but he gradually noticed it later. Otherwise, Chu Wenting would not be able to see many things in front of her.

For example, the seemingly intractable death situation in front of her is actually not so serious, and Chu Wenting can completely deal with it. It's just that the kind of sin and panic that gave birth made Chu Wenting blindfold herself.

Chu Wenting can only get out of the dead end by herself, which is difficult for outsiders to help. Zhang Nan believes that the little guy will not let him down!

Ten days later.

"Why is it so quiet these days? I can't hear any fighting. ”

"Who knows, the walls won't let you get close. Maybe it was some way to isolate the sound, but in fact, it would have been a river of blood for a long time. ”

"Don't guess, it's bad luck to talk nonsense at this time......"

The five-nation coalition army arrived in Xinjing, and almost everyone in Xinjing was in danger. If it weren't for the sergeants standing guard in the streets and alleys, the people would have been in chaos long ago. But ten days have passed, and the coalition forces have not launched a single attack, not even tentatively. Not only did the people talk about it, but the courtiers also speculated.

"Imperial sister, the enemy army has been delayed for a long time, what do you think?" After the court meeting ended, Chu Shengrui left Chu Wenting.

This is already a common practice, no matter what the big thing is, even if there is a conclusion in the court, the two brothers and sisters have to communicate in private. What's more, at the moment, I haven't studied the ugliness.

"It's a good thing that they don't attack the city, and they just keep consuming. Chu Wenting said: "Don't worry about the amount of grain and grass in the city, I will find a way." ”

Chu Wenting is really not afraid of consumption, even if the coalition army surrounds it for ten years, the people in the city will not starve to death. Even if the rice and grain are all eaten, Chu Wenting can exchange them from the system. Except for martial arts weapons and the like, ordinary grain and rice are quite cheap. Little Lori has always thought about it more, so the exchange points she has saved over the years are also the most.

However, Chu Wenting did not know the intentions of the coalition forces.

The war has been fought to this extent, and it has long been endless. The coalition is an expedition, which is not conducive to protracted warfare. Now that Emperor Chu Yun has been besieged, and there is only one line away from the final victory, he should strike with all his strength with the power of thunder, and there is no need to use the tactic of long-term siege at all.

What does Qin Yuanxun want to do? Do you want to wait for us to relax our vigilance and suddenly launch it, or do you notice that Sister Situ is leaving with the Five Beast Legion, thinking about cutting and sweeping away this hidden danger first?

"Could it be that there is something wrong within the coalition forces?" Chu Shengrui suddenly asked.

"Perhaps. Chu Wenting said casually: "But no matter what the problem is, before they break through the new capital, there will definitely be no civil strife." ”

There are hidden dangers within the coalition army, this Chu Wenting is very clear, and the courtiers have also raised it many times. But now that the five-nation coalition forces have a common goal, at least until the new capital is breached, the coalition forces will certainly not have civil strife. The previous border offensive and defensive battles were so fierce, and the coalition forces suffered huge losses, but there were no internal contradictions. Now there is only one Xinjing left, how can it be possible to drop the chain at a critical moment.

"Wait, Xinjing ......" Chu Wenting was suddenly stunned, as if she had thought of something, her eyes flickered.

"Imperial sister, what do you think of?" Chu Shengrui hurriedly asked.

"I'm so stupid. Chu Wenting knocked on the door of her head with her small fist.

In the past few days, she has also been nervous, guessing the various possible intentions of the coalition forces, but she suddenly figured it out just now. The siege without attacking for many days is not a tactic at all, but there is really a problem within the coalition army.

The reason for the delay was due to disputes within the coalition forces. It's not about arguing about whether to fight or not, it's about arguing about who will fight.

If you can break through the new capital, it will naturally be a great achievement. But to get this great credit, you must first have a good tooth.

Chu Yunguo abandoned the outer defense line and concentrated all his forces in Xinjing. It is true that it is a retreat, but it is also equivalent to meeting the strength of a little. For the coalition forces as the attacking side, the first to attack will certainly not be beneficial.

The previous battle line was very long, and no one in the armies of the five countries stayed out of the matter. But now there is only one new capital left, and no one will want to waste their strength in vain. The Qin Feng Kingdom and the Ancient Song Kingdom wanted to preserve their strength, while the Northern Yan Kingdom and the Western Zhou Kingdom did not want to be cannon fodder. Wei Wuguo was full of fighting spirit, but they were already the weakest, and they didn't want to consume the only strength they had.

The five countries humbled each other, and no one wanted to be the first bird. Even if the five families together set aside some men to attack the city, it would attract opposition.

This war is coming to an end, victory is at hand, and no one wants to give away their heads. This is not only a post-war statistical score, but also involves the distribution of benefits.

Although it occupied a lot of Chuyun territory before, it was all temporarily controlled, and it will inevitably be redistributed after the war. The fewer soldiers and horses, the less land occupied, and the more the war ended, the more important the number of soldiers became.

Such a simple question, I never thought of it.

However, this stalemate will not last long, and sooner or later the coalition forces will reach some kind of consensus to attack the city. It would be foolish to put all your hopes in the enemy.

While thinking about countermeasures, Chu Wenting faintly sensed Zhang Nan's intentions.

The Great Tribulation was far away from her, but now she basically understood something. The Great Tribulation is to kill all the people, and the corresponding way is to kill as few people as possible......

When the mind is open and you have a general direction, there are more things that can be done.

"Brother Huang. Chu Wenting said: "Quick, in your name, give the commander of the coalition army, Qin Yuanxun, a letter of war!"

"War book?" Chu Shengrui was puzzled: "It's all like this, what kind of war book is there?"

"Fight them. Chu Wenting said resolutely: "Now that they have no countermeasures, we will help them come up with an idea." The battle will decide the winner and reduce the loss of troops, which is exactly what they want. ”

Chu Shengrui was not as optimistic as Chu Wenting, and shook his head slightly: "If you agree, you may not agree." ”

"Would agree. Chu Wenting said: "The war book, I will send it." ”
