The offensive progress over the past few days has been mediocre, and Sima Bi is obviously a little lacking in stamina.

In the past few days, the high-pressure oppression of the soldiers has made the soldiers of Sima Bi's department complain.

Everyone is human, not wood, how can there be no rest.

For a while, complaints abounded.

Seeing this situation, Sima Bi did not dare to suppress his soldiers to attack day and night, after all, if this continued, it would not be good for the soldiers to mutiny.

However, although the soldiers stopped the high-pressure attack, Sima Bi was not idle.

He sent countless letters of surrender to the city, hoping to break the fighting spirit of the defenders.

Even, he got in touch with several families in Runan City, and agreed that three days later, these families would send people to attack the city gate and take Runan City together.

It was just evening on the day, and both the attackers and defenders were sleepy and unstable.

Not to mention the fight, everyone's eyelids are already fighting.

Basically, as soon as the battle ended, everyone found a place to sleep.

I also admit it when it's cold, after all, if you don't sleep again, everyone will be sleepy.

Yao Yu also kept yawning, and just as he wanted to ask Jiang Jun for some quilts and cotton clothes from the city, and distribute them to the soldiers on the city wall who had slept because they were tired, he heard the sound of footsteps coming one after another.

Yao Yu was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look, and saw that Man Kuang was leading people to walk quickly.

"Your Excellency."

Man Kuang came to him, clasped his hands into fists and shouted softly.

His movements were very gentle, for fear of waking up the soldiers who had been fighting on the city wall for several days.

"What's wrong?"

Yao Yu asked with curiosity.

Man Kuang looked left and right, and then approached Yao Yu and said, "My lord, according to reliable information, some families such as the Cheng family, the Lu family, and the Mei family in Runan City have already sent their clansmen to get in touch with Sima Bi. They agreed that when they would be in three days' time, they would open the gates of the city and let Sima Pi enter the city."

Yao Yu hissed, "Are you sure?"

Man Kuang nodded: "Sure, this is news from Chen Zhong's subordinates. In order to confirm the credibility of the news, I also made a special investigation."

When Yao Yu heard this, he sighed continuously: "I know that these families have bad intentions. What are the families that have made contact with Sima Bi now?"

"I'm secretly dispatching house slaves. My lord, are you going to deal with them?"

Yao Yugang wanted to agree, but when the words came to his lips, he endured it again.

It's easy to kill them, but it's clear that killing them is too cheap for them.

This opportunity will also be wasted.

Wouldn't it be better if they were used as bait to trick Sima Pi into the city?

Thinking like this, Yao Yu smiled.

Man Kuang couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart when he saw Yao Yu's smile, and he swallowed his saliva with a grunt: "That adult, you have something to say, don't laugh so scary."

Yao Yu didn't take Man Kuang's words to heart, but just said, "Man Kuang, give you a task."

"What?" Man Kuang was puzzled.

"You go and send invitations to these big and small families in Runan City, and say that His Royal Highness Sima Cui is going to be engaged to Jiang Taishou's daughter and entertain everyone. I hope everyone will come with a face."

Man Kuang was puzzled: "My lord, what do you mean..."

Yao Yu stretched his muscles: "Needless to say, if you catch fish and don't trick them all into the net, you have to do them one by one?"

Man Kuang instantly understood what Yao Yu meant, and immediately smiled and patted his belly and said, "I understand, I'll arrange it."

···

Since Runan City was besieged, no, it should be said that in the past two months since Sima Cui fled from Luoyang, Jiang Jiao's mentality has been a little strange.

She was not satisfied with her marriage to Sima Cui, which was no secret in the Taishou Mansion.

But that Sima Cui obviously didn't think so, and he lived in the Taishou Mansion with a big grin, not to mention, and brought his male pet with him

Day in Fuchu.

Even, I bumped into each other a few times in the middle, and the male pet relied on Sima Cui by his side and sneered at himself many times. Throw one’s weight around.

Jiang Jiao had the heart to inform her father Jiang Wen of these situations, but unfortunately, Jiang Wen prevaricated every time, and it was obvious that as the confidant of the king of Runan, even if the king of Runan was no longer there, Jiang Wen still habitually did not dare to disobey Sima Cui.

In this case, Jiang Jiao was completely disappointed in Jiang Wen, so she simply reduced the time she spent going out and stayed in her room all day long.

On this day, she was reading a book in her boudoir, and her mind was wandering wildly and she didn't know where to go.

Suddenly, the maid Yu'er pushed the door in, and her tone seemed to be a little panicked: "Miss, there is a new situation."

When Jiang Jiao heard this, she hurriedly put down the book and asked happily, "What's the situation? Did Yao Yu come up with some way to defeat Sima Bi?"

From Yao Yu leading the team to support, to taking over the command and continuously defeating Sima Bi In these days, Jiang Jiao has also changed from an indifferent attitude at the beginning to a caring attitude now.

It seems that only every time he hears Yao Yu come up with a new idea to defeat Sima Bi, it will make Jiang Jiao happier.

She didn't know where her mentality came from, and in the end, it was just a matter of being too bored and wanting to have fun.

No, Jiang Jiao asked excitedly, but she didn't want to, Yu'er's answer made Jiang Jiao's face look extremely pale.

"Miss, the lord said that Sima Cui wants to determine the date of marriage with you, and when the time comes, he will also invite the major families in Runan City to come and witness."

As soon as she heard this, Jiang Jiao's heart chuckled, and her head buzzed.

At that moment, she felt like the sky was about to fall.

What do you think, doesn't your father know? Sima Cui, as a lost dog, is already so embarrassed, why does his father still let him discuss the days of marriage with him? .

"Jade, Yu'er, you, you're kidding. Now the strong enemy is pressing. No matter how confused my father is, he can't do this."

Until now, Jiang Jiao couldn't believe her ears, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop pulling and saying.

Yu'er sighed, her expression a little lamented: "Miss, will I lie to you in this matter, now the whole city knows about it, and the mansion is full of lights to prepare."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiao was completely numb, and even, she already felt that her life had lost its color.

Yu'er secretly glanced at Jiang Jiao, and said hesitantly, "And Miss, I heard that this time the matter was brought up by Yao Yu."

"Yao Yu?" Jiang Jiao was stunned for a moment.

Yu'er nodded: "Yes, it is said that Yao Yu wants to use the matter between you and Sima Cui to rush to joy, so as to defeat Sima Bi."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiao's heart was not to mention how complicated it was.

How can this be, you Yao Yu don't have the ability to clean up Sima Bi and relieve the siege of Runan City, do you have to sacrifice my happiness?

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable Jiang Jiao's heart became. It is not an exaggeration to say that Baiwei is mixed.
