Xiao Chengfeng didn't speak immediately, opened his eyes, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were full of clouds and mist, making people unable to understand the emotion.

In the blink of an eye, cold sweat was already oozing out of the back of the questioning general.

In this case, there are nothing more than two options.

First, seize the time to attack Tianjin immediately, if you can capture Hecheng within a day or two, maybe you can use the grain and grass in the city to solve the urgent need.

But although Tianjin is now at a disadvantage, if he wants to capture it within a day or two, I'm afraid it's still a fantasy.

Second, stop the attack for the time being, go all out on the defensive, do everything possible to transport grain and grass, and solve the matter first.

But in this way, it is tantamount to giving Tianjin a chance to breathe and allow them to adjust.

But it is obvious that no matter which one it is, it means that the emperor has caught the way of the Heavenly Empire in this game!

Just when the atmosphere in the camp tent was about to reach the freezing point, Xiao Chengfeng finally spoke.

"Pass the order down and defend with all your strength in case Tianjin launches a surprise attack. At the same time, a team of soldiers was sent to try to collect grain, and to raise as much food and grass as possible. There is also ......" Xiao Chengfeng's eyebrows are deep, and he can't see the bottom of his eyes, "Send a message to several other reinforcements and Yue Ge, do your best to speed up!" ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

……

Tianjin Barracks.

When the news that Beiyuan sent people to collect grain came back, Nie Mingyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that Xiao Chengfeng was not carried away by anger, and still retains some sanity." Nie Mingyu spoke.

"What the prince said is right, so we also have a chance to breathe." The original border guard Wang Ye nodded in response.

"I can't be so optimistic for the time being." Shi Yu looked at the news that came back, "According to the news that came back, Beiyuan has already started to escort grain and grass, if you get the news and speed up, I'm afraid you can arrive within five days." ”

"The general has already inquired about this, and the escort of grain and grass in Beiyuan should be in charge of the servant girl next to Emperor Beiyuan, named Yue Ge. A handmaid may not have experience in escorting grain and grass, if she sends someone to intercept it......"

"Don't take it lightly!" Nie Mingyu reminded, "Xiao Chengfeng is not a reckless person, since he can let a servant girl be in charge of this matter, then he must have the confidence that the other party can complete it." ”

"That's right." Shi Yu also nodded and spoke.

Wang Ye thought for a while, "If the emperor and the prince are not at ease, the last general can personally lead people to infiltrate the northern abyss and ambush and intercept." ”

"Isn't it going to be a bit risky?" Shi Yu frowned and looked at the route on the map, "After all, it is in the territory of Beiyuan, and the route that you hear may not be completely reliable." ”

"Now that there is not much grain and grass left in the North Abyss, the next grain and grass sent over is very important to them, even if it is a risk, the last general feels that it is worth trying." Wang Ye spoke seriously.

These defeats, although they fell into Beiyuan's strategy, but in the final analysis, they have an unshirkable responsibility, if they can destroy Beiyuan's grain and grass escort, not only can Beiyuan be severely damaged, but also for him, it is also a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye knelt down with his hands and said to Shi Yu and Nie Mingyu seriously: "Please ask the emperor and the prince to give the last general this opportunity, and the last general will definitely do his best to prevent the arrival of Beiyuan grain and grass!" ”

Shi Yu and Nie Mingyu glanced at each other.

"I listen to Uncle Huang." Shi Yu said.

"Good!" Nie Mingyu nodded and looked at Wang Ye, "Since that's the case, then I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

In Wang Ye's command, Shi Yu came out of the camp.

At a glance, there are one camp after another.

Rushing all the way to the border before, there was always a string in his mind, so when he first came, Shi Yu didn't have the heart to take a good look at this military camp.

Now that he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at everything in front of him, Shi Yucai felt a sense of majesty and solemnity from the bottom of his heart.

Under the dusk and setting sun, the camp tent seemed to be dyed with a faint halo, and the soldiers patrolling and guarding, all serious, and behind these soldiers stood the family and the country, and the people.

For the most ordinary people, it may not matter who becomes the emperor, but the chaos before the dust settles is enough to break their original peaceful life.

Shi Yu didn't have any ambition to annex the world, for her, if she could, then she hoped that the war would stop at this moment, but ...... Can it really be?

Shi Yu shook his head in his heart, after this time, Xiao Chengfeng and Beiyuan's side would definitely not give up.

"Ah Yu!" Jing Heng's call temporarily pulled Shi Yu's thoughts back.

Turning his head, Shi Yu walked towards Jing Heng.

Before coming to the emperor's tent just now, she sent someone to tell Jing Heng and wanted him to come over, but Jing Heng didn't show up, just said that there were some things that needed to be confirmed.

"Overseer, what do you want to confirm?" Shi Yu looked at Jing Heng and asked.

The latter didn't speak immediately, but just led Shi Yu into the tent, and then motioned for her to look at the map on the table.

Shi Yu took a closer look and found that two places had been outlined, namely Weizhou, which was two hundred miles away from Hecheng, and a place called Lishui.

Weizhou Shi Yu has some understanding, close to Shuofeng, although it is located at the border, but the trade between the two countries is very developed, it can be regarded as rich.

But Lishui ......

"Overseer, what is this Lishui?"

"This used to be the territory of the Li State, after the Li State, the land was divided between the Tianjin and the Northern Yuan, and Lishui once caused the two countries to fight, and finally it was pocketed by the Tianjin."

Shi Yu carefully looked at the range marked on the map, the area of Lishui is not large, only about half of Weizhou, and the territory is mostly mountains, which is not suitable for living.

"Is there anything special about this Lishui?" Shi Yu asked.

Jing Heng nodded, "The territory is mountainous. ”

After speaking, he looked at Shi Yu again and asked, "What can the emperor think of?" ”

Shi Yu frowned, "Minerals? ”

The area is small, mountainous, and the transportation is inconvenient, but it can be competed for by the two countries, and the first thing she can think of is minerals.

"That's right." Jing Heng nodded, "Lishui is rich in minerals, and there are six iron mines alone. Back then, Shuofeng originally had the opportunity to return to Tianjin, but at that time, Beiyuan's condition was Lishui, and the emperor did not agree. ”

Shi Yu's gaze moved back to the map, the various resources of the Northern Yuan have always been inferior to the Heavenly Wing, whether the Heavenly Jin needs this mineral or not, it cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the Northern Yuan, otherwise the advantage of the Heavenly Jin in terms of national strength may no longer exist.

"Overseer, over the years, has Tianjin mined ore?"

"Yes, but it's not very exploited."

Shi Yu frowned again, if the degree of mining is not high, then for Beiyuan, Lishui is undoubtedly still a piece of fat.

In addition, Jing Heng deliberately marked it on this map......

Shi Yu's gaze shifted from Lishui and Weizhou to the route to the two places, and his heart chuckled.

"Overseer, do you suspect that Beiyuan's reinforcements will not reach the border pass, but will attack these two places?"
