The Beihu army surrounded the city, they besieged but did not attack, but the people in the city fortunately had enough food, and they were not in a hurry to break through, and the two sides were safe.

There was a lack of forage for livestock in the city, and in the first few days, Wan Yanxi killed cattle and sheep to eat meat all day long. Eating such big fish and meat every day, Lu Jin was the first to be unable to eat, and when he smelled the meat, he felt sick to his stomach and wanted to vomit.

"Good sister, can you stop eating meat, even if it's a few grains of rice, it's more comfortable." Lu Jin begged.

Wan Yanxi shook her head helplessly: "It's not that I want to do this, there is really a lack of forage in the city, if you don't eat the cattle and sheep first, it's a pity that they starve to death and waste it in vain." You are so used to eating and closing, that you can eat anything after three or two months of hunger, and you will never be picky eaters again."

Lu Jin didn't believe it: "How can it be, I've been used to it since I was a child, and I can't change it at all."

"I used to think the same way, until my father and mother were killed by a female cadre, and I was alone on the grassland guarding more than 20 sheep, I didn't know what it means to be alive." Wan Yanxi remembered the past, and her expression was a little sad.

"Isn't living a life like being fed, clothed, and carefree?" Lu Jin naively took it for granted.

Wan Yanxi smiled miserably and said, "That's called happiness, it's too late for me to envy."

"At that time, my perception was weak, and I didn't know anything a hundred steps away, so I had to drive the sheep to the depths of the grassland in order to escape the killing of the enemy. You can see in the distance, and there are stars at night to provide direction, and I am a blind man who can only walk blindly, and it is all up to luck to go wherever I go."

"I don't have a stove or chopsticks, and I can occasionally pick up enough firewood to bake

Meat is a gift from God to me. Because he couldn't see with his eyes, and later he lost his fire sickle, he could only feed his hunger with raw meat every day, and that kind of craving for delicious food was incomprehensible to ordinary people."

Wan Yanxi noticed her gaffe, smiled bitterly and waved her hand: "Forget it, it's all in the past, it's a great blessing in life to be able to live happily, why bother with these anymore." It's okay to slaughter all those animals and marinate them into salted jerky, and it tastes good if you want to eat them for a while and add some condiments."

Lu Jin has been with her parents since she was a child, although her life is hard, she is carefree and has never really worried about her livelihood, let alone because of lack of clothes and less clothing, so she was shocked after listening to Yan Xi's experience.

After Yan Xi sat down, Lu Jin held her hand and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I didn't know what you had suffered, I just said it casually, it doesn't matter if I can still eat."

She burped as she spoke, and the smell of flesh that came up was disgusting, and she held back as if it hadn't happened.

On that day, he discussed the affairs of the army with Luo Jinrong at the county office, and he asked carefully: "I have been eating beef and mutton every day these days, I wonder if the two ladies can get used to it?"

Wan Yanxi smiled: "I'm okay, but my sister is a little unwell, I wonder if I can slaughter the rest of the livestock and prepare it, and keep it to eat slowly."

Luo Jinrong put his mind at ease: "The people in the city have also complained a lot in the past few days, and the lower officials have this intention, so they will come according to Mrs. There was not much forage left in the city, and according to the calculation of holding on for more than 20 days, it was only enough for five horses. On that day, the people fled out of the city, and I also sent a letter to the court

Knowing the situation here, he expressed his determination to live and die with the city to the imperial court. Since he is holding the city, Xia Guan plans to kill all the unused war horses, and the five horses left behind will be used to transmit information in case of emergency."

This is true, unless the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals come to help.

"It can only be like this, as long as we hold back the Beihu army, the imperial court will have enough time to prepare, even if we don't do anything, we can be regarded as a great achievement." Wan Yanxi said softly.

Luo Jinrong bowed his hand and said, "The lower officials must do their best to serve the court, and the future glory and wealth will depend on the two ladies."

"My lord is serious, we dare not take it." Some people pin their future fame and fortune on themselves, and Lu Jin, who has always been innocent, suddenly has heavy pressure.

Every evening, Lu Jin would make a tour of the city wall, and by the way, count the approximate number of pots and stoves in the Beihu military camp, so as to estimate the daily change in the number of people.

The situation is not optimistic, and every two or three days there will be an increase in pots and stoves, indicating that Beihu is constantly increasing troops and is determined to trap them.

Ten days after the city was besieged, Luo Jinrong sent people to count the supplies, and according to the consumption of these days, he could accurately calculate that it could still be used to support the people of the city for 15 days.

Lying on the bed with the lights out at night, Lu Jin could obviously feel Wan Yanxi's preoccupation, so he asked, "What's so unhappy, I might be able to help."

Sighing, Wan Yanxi said softly: "I'm worried that our food is not enough, if the reinforcements don't arrive in fifteen days, everyone will fight hungry, the city will definitely be self-defeating, we have to find a way to get more food."

"You don't mean Gu Da

Will my brother come to our rescue?" Lu Jin remembered what Wan Yanxi had said a few days ago.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Whether the imperial court pays enough attention, whether the troops can be dispatched in time, whether the front-line commander has the determination to win, whether Brother Gu has delayed the notice of receiving the order, there are too many changes in the meantime, and if there is a problem in any link, it will affect us."

Lu Jin had a headache when he thought of these intricate relationships, and said uneasily: "Then what should I do, or I will go to the Beihu military camp every night to steal some food and come back to relieve my urgent needs."

"No, there are thousands of people in the city, and the little food you stole back alone will be useless." Wan Yanxi directly denied it.

Lu Jin's eyes lit up: "Yes, every meal is reduced, and if it adds up, will it be able to last for a few days?"

Wan Yanxi leaned over and put his arm on her shoulder: "My good sister, this is even worse. Once the rations are reduced, the morale of the army will inevitably be unstable, and I estimate that Beihu will try to attack in the next few days to test whether we can still hold the city. If Beihu finds out that we don't have enough food to eat, it will be bad, and I think we will have to wait for them to attack the city before looking for a flaw."

"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, my head hurts." Lu Jin is also telling the truth, whoever it is, I'm afraid I can't do anything at the moment.

"Lord Luo, we caught a female!"

The two were whispering when they suddenly heard people's shouts coming from the front yard of the county government.

In the silence of the night sky, the slightest movement can be heard far away, not to mention the shouting of people.

The county commander fled with his family and was captured by Beihu, and the county commander finally gave his life, and the county commander's wife was not in the sneak attack of Wanyan Xi

Knowing where they were, the backyard of the county government was idle, and Wan Yanxi and Lu Jin lived there. In order to work better, Luo Jinrong lived in the front yard of the county government to deal with matters in the army quickly and conveniently.

Wan Yanxi and Lu Jin got dressed and rushed to the court in front, where Luo Jinrong was already interrogating the female gangster.

Under the flickering light, the woman's thin cloak was spreading, and she was a woman.
