268, why?
"What? Siege or not? The right minister instantly raised his voice and asked, "Then how do we save the goddess?" How can I capture a city? How can this official explain to His Majesty? β
Three questions came in a row, and the staff was already sweating.
No, what else could he say if he asked him about it?
"My lord, this is the most suitable choice for us after weighing it."
He had no other way, and immediately shut up after saying this.
And the right minister himself calmed down and thought carefully for a while.
Well, he admits that what the staff said is not unreasonable.
Now they seem to have only one way.
Tuoba Jun was treacherous and cunning, he didn't know the specific situation in the city, and the morale of the army was greatly reduced by the night attack.
If they storm the city now, it is very likely that they will encounter strong resistance, and not only will they suffer heavy losses, but they will also gain nothing.
And if they besiege the city without attacking, it will give the people in the city and Tuoba Jun a strong sense of oppression, so that their will in their hearts will be reduced little by little, and when they find the right time again, then they will be able to capture the city at one time.
The self-strategy belonging to the right minister has been completed, he wants to open it, and finally orders loudly.
"Retreat, go back to the campβ"
Not long after he had finished speaking, the soldiers ran back as if they had heard some great news.
Ah Cha and Zhu Shun stood on the city tower, naturally seeing these in their eyes, and they were also relieved in their hearts.
It seems that the first level is over.
It is difficult to pass the pass, and they only need to stalemate with the right minister for a few more days, and everything will be easy.
They finished the play again and returned to the house.
"Zhu Shun, you have to find a way to infiltrate the army and spread the favorable conditions in the city to the soldiers there, so as to arouse their fear of death and their longing for their hometown."
Since you want to subdue these soldiers, you can't be tough, and you should make your suffering more obvious.
"Left Chug, you are responsible for sending someone to monitor the right minister's every move."
In the next few days, she still has to ensure that the right minister will not think of anything else on a whim.
"If I'm not mistaken, the right minister should attack the city in three days, and then it will be a new difficulty for us, and we must make detailed plans before this."
If you want to ask Ah Cha why she is so sure of the right phase's actions, it is not because she went to the system log to take out the life of the right phase and take a closer look.
It is clearly recorded in the journal that after three days, the right phase will be angry and fall into a five-day coma.
Calculating the time, it should be a situation that will only occur if the city is not captured.
She has become adept at mastering the use of syslogs.
I have to say, sometimes going with the flow of fate can really be a very good choice.
Zhu Shun and Zuo Chuge glanced at each other, and although they were both puzzled as to why Ah Cha was able to judge the actions of the right minister with such certainty, they still made a promise.
"Yes, the subordinates will not fail in their mission!"
Isn't it just to repel the right phase? Isn't it just to keep the city?
Then they will try to see who will kill the right Xiangneng deer!
In the past three days, Ah Cha has not been idle, either to check the construction of the grain transportation channel, or to inspect the training of the personnel on the lifeboat, and by the way, some actions can be carried out in various parts of the city to resist the flood.
The three days passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the third day.
In the Right Army, everything seems less optimistic.
The right minister sat on the main seat with a cold face, full of questions, "Didn't you tell this official that as long as he rests properly, his morale can be restored?" β
"Then you tell this officer, why is there a trend of depression in the army now?"
The reason why the right minister was so angry was very simple, but he had a whim to go to the army this morning and walked around deeply, only to find that almost every soldier was depressed and had no fighting spirit at all.
The staff who were called were also innocent.
He was only talking about the most idealistic situation, but the morale really couldn't be raised, and he couldn't be blamed.
Speaking of demoralization, there is actually a very funny story.
Previously, Ah Cha only left them half of the grain and grass, and they thought that they could solve it quickly, so they didn't bring too much grain and herbs.
The right minister was afraid that the emperor would blame him, so he didn't dare to report the burning of grain and grass at all, but ordered that the rations of each soldier be halved.
Yesterday night there was a sudden gust of wind that blew away half of their grain and grass, so he ordered the ration to be reduced to the first third.
You must know that these soldiers are all strong in blood, and they can't even satisfy their appetites every day, let alone talk about the morale of the army.
Coupled with the sudden drop in temperature, they are now in a state of hunger and cold.
But the right minister doesn't care so much, what he wants to see is the final result.
"No matter what method you use, in short, the army must set off to attack the city after half an hour."
As soon as his order came out, both the staff and the adjutant general were obviously stunned.
No, the right minister is completely insane.
With the current morale in the army, how can they have the strength to siege the city.
But the right minister didn't give them a chance to argue, raised his eyebrows, and glared at them angrily, "Are you still stunned about what to do?" Why don't you go and prepare for this officer! β
"Yes, yes, yes."
But it was said that Ah Cha was very different.
They were ready to deal with it early, and even Ah Cha, Zhu Shun and those "extras" were already in place, waiting for the opening of today's big show.
"Lord Wang, the army is only three miles away from the city!"
Zhu Shun and Ah Cha exchanged looks for a short time, and immediately said, "Let them come!" β
"The army is only a mile from the city gates!"
At this time, Zhu Shun also gave a little reaction.
He stood on the very edge of the tower with Asha on his back.
"Old thief, you listen to this king!"
"As long as your army dares to take another step, the king will want this demon girl's blood to be spattered on the spot!"
As he spoke, he held a dagger sharp and put it on Ah Cha's neck, and with a slight slide, blood flowed down.
Of course, it wasn't Ah Cha's blood, but the blood bag that she specially found out in the system that was most suitable for Gong Dou.
Anyway, there is still a long distance from the right phase, and it is enough to scare the right phase by seeing bright red blood stains flowing down.
Sure enough, the right prime minister was immediately frightened.
He wanted to use Tuoba Jun's hand to make Asha die here, but not now.
"Stop!"
"I want to talk to you!"
After thinking about it, he still felt that he should talk carefully with Tuoba Jun.
"Talk? Old thief, why do you think this king wants to talk to you? β
Zhu Shun has not forgotten his current identity, a dignified prince with a lot of power, when facing a mere right minister, he naturally does not have to wronged himself.
After hearing his words, the right minister's face changed drastically.
In front of the 100,000 army, the king of Ding'an did not take him seriously at all.
Then I have to give King An a little look.
But this look is not what he can give now, he already has a very vicious plan in his heart, ready to coax Tuoba Jun down first and then scatter the poisonous powder hidden in his sleeve.
He had already taken the antidote in advance, and this poisonous powder would invade people's internal organs the moment he inhaled it, and if it was put on Tuoba Jun's body, it would be a dead end.
With this in mind, he became very sincere in both his tone and attitude.
"This official just came to encircle and suppress on the orders of His Majesty, but this official and the prince had some friendship before, and knew that the prince was a person, so there must be a lot of misunderstanding in this."
"As long as the prince is willing to talk to the official alone, the official doesn't mind reporting the prince's distress to His Majesty."
Tut-tut, at this time, I will only use the trick of lure.
If you want to say that it is more tempting to change to a few others, I just chose a useless thing like a dog emperor.
Now there is no need for Ah Cha to quietly guide the lines, Zhu Shun knows how to rectify the right phase.
"Old thief, you listen to this king, if you want to talk to this king, then go to the city gate alone, and this king will welcome you into the city to talk in detail."
Want to go into the city alone?
The right minister is not a stupid person, so he immediately quit, "King Ding'an, you are too insincere." β
"The king's words are not finished." Zhu Shun turned his head to his side, "This king will put Zuo Chug as a hostage in your army. β
"Presumably, under the insistence of your 100,000 troops, he will not be able to escape even if he has three heads and six arms."
Not to mention, this really attracts the right phase.
He didn't dare to let Tuoba Jun exchange Ah Cha into his army as a hostage.
After all, Ah Cha is the person named by the emperor and must be saved, so even if Tuoba Jun repents and can't go back to the army, he must ensure the safety of Ah Cha.
Otherwise, even if he had his life and returned to the capital alive, he would face the emperor's interrogation and punishment.
And Zuo Chug is different, Zuo Chug's status and role in Tuoba Jun's side are very clear to him.
Even if Tuoba Jun temporarily repents, his own people can do everything they can to find out all the secrets of Tuoba Jun from Zuo Qiug's mouth.
And he can use this as an exchange threat to Tuoba Jun.
The more you think about it, the more it makes sense, and even more so that she thinks it is very thoughtful, and she responds very simply.
"Okay, this official is willing to come and talk in detail."
Look, everyone is so sincere, so will they be bad?
So Zhu Shun just raised his head slightly, and Zuo Chug rushed to the city gate at a very fast speed.
When the gates slowly opened, the left and right sides met.
Zuo Chug didn't hesitate at all anyway, and rushed quickly to the army of the right minister.
He has the task of persuading him to surrender, so can't he disturb the morale of the army?
And the right minister didn't know anything about it, and while looking at the situation in the city, he entered the city with a false smile.
Zhu Shun had already handed over the task of holding Khat to the others, and sat high on the Taishi chair, which was still some distance from the right minister.
"Old thief, remember to be louder when you talk to this king, this king's ear is not very good."
Because he was worried that the right minister would find out that he was not Tuoba Jun's secret, he was so far away.
was only in danger before he was put into danger, and the right minister's heart was not comfortable.
But people under the eaves had to bow their heads.
He was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, and even if he killed him, he wouldn't dare to provoke Tuoba Jun at this time.
But now he can't go back, and there is no way to regret it for a while.
So he was forced to bow his head.
"King Ding'an, if we have something to say, we may be able to sit down and talk about it, there is no need to make a big fuss."
"Okay?" Zhu Shun casually pointed to the city gate with both hands, "Then you might as well keep your eyes open and take a good look at the 100,000 army outside." β
"If you are willing to bring the army back to the capital, then the king doesn't mind talking to you."
"But this is His Majesty's order......"
Zhu Shun deliberately put on a very impatient appearance and raised his hand, "Old thief, you should talk less nonsense to this king." β
"The meaning of this king is very simple, if the Dog Emperor still wants to save this demon girl and continue his life, then he will withdraw his troops as soon as possible, otherwiseββ"
"This king will slaughter the people of the whole city, you say that you threaten this demon girl with the people of the whole city, how will she choose?"
"Enough! If it weren't for the sake of the people, the deity would have killed you, a thief, on the spot! β
Ah Cha's words spoken at the right time made the chaotic right phase in his mind vaguely see the dawn of hope.
It seems that he can unite with the goddess and deal with the king of Ding'an together.
"Don't be angry, this official will write to Your Majesty, and the army will be withdrawn as soon as possible."
"Oh? The right minister has decided to withdraw his troops? β
"Yes, the official will withdraw the army, but I also ask the prince to give the official some buffer time."
"Want buffered time?" Zhu Shun looked at him provocatively, and his heart was full of fun, "Then the right minister will show a little sincerity to this king." β
"You still don't need this king to hand over the truth to you."
Sincerity?
At this time, the right minister was completely stunned.
No, he has already agreed, what more sincerity do you need.
But under the scrutiny of Zhu Shun's gaze and the oppression around him, he still asked tremblingly: "Dare to ask what sincerity the prince wants?" β
Well, isn't this the climax coming?
"This king doesn't ask for much, just kneel down and show your sincerity to this king."
Get on your knees? Also show sincerity?
After hearing this, Ah Cha, who was standing in the back, really almost laughed out loud very unkindly.
It has to be Zhu Shun who dares to think about it.
Look at the face of the right minister, it's not half a star.
And Zhu Shun's words were smashed down.
"What? Is there any sincerity to show on the right? β
"Then the king doesn't mind letting the soldiers give a sample to the right minister."
As he spoke, he glanced at the guard beside the right minister.
I saw that the guard stepped forward, and immediately drew his long sword, which was about to attack the right minister.
Those who know the times are Junjie.
Under the threat of absolute power, the right minister knelt down without the slightest hesitation.
"It's a bad official, it makes the prince angry, and asks the prince to punish the crime."
Now as long as he can save his life, let alone kneel, even if he is doing something.
"Don't be nervous, sit down and have a sip of hot tea."
As he spoke, someone brought him tea and a chair, and forced him to sit down.
He opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but Zhu Shun had already looked away and stopped looking at him.
At this time, the right minister held his breath in his heart, not up or down, and panicked.
As the commander of the first army, he knelt in front of the commander of the enemy army in such humiliation just now, but he still had no ability to fight back.
How can this make him not feel aggrieved.
But Zhu Shun didn't know these thoughts in his heart.
Zhu Shun just wanted to give a shallow blow to the self-confidence of the right minister, and by the way, buy some time for the left church.
But it was said that the left Chug's side was indeed very smooth in the army.
To be precise, it should be that as soon as he entered the army, he turned into a loach, carrying light skills and wandering around, and no one could catch him.
That's it, and he took out a thick stack of propaganda paper from his sleeve as if he was playing a trick, and distributed it everywhere.
The content printed on the paper was simple, all of them were descriptions of their good life in the city, in order to arouse the homesickness of these soldiers.
"Catch him!"
"Can't let him go!"
It was the adjutant general and the staff of the right minister who reacted first and immediately gave the order.
But after reading the propaganda paper, will the soldiers still listen to their orders?
So there was silence in the army, and no one moved.
Zuo Chug naturally wandered more easily, and also randomly chose a more central position, using his internal force to speak.
"Soldiers, I am also a citizen of Daxing, and it is not easy to understand you."
"You trekked through mountains and rivers just to encircle and suppress King Ding'an, but have you ever thought about why King Ding'an did this?"
"In this land, there will soon be a few days of heavy rain that is rare in a hundred years, and the heavy rain will cause floods, but the dog emperor only eats and has fun in the palace, but when he asks about the life and death of the people, King Ding'an has no choice, so he made this decision!"
"King Ding'an knows that you are homesick, and he will not embarrass you, as long as you are willing to surrender on your own initiative, he is willing to open the city gate for you!"
After Zuochug's words were finished, the silence of the army became even more pronounced.
Yes, none of them want to be caught up in the flames of war.
King Ding'an has already made a promise, so it is better than letting them be hungry and cold now.
"It's all a lie! He's lying to you! β
"Don't believe this lackey of King Ding'an!"
The adjutant general's shouting came from a distance, but Zuochug's disdain deepened.
What he had to say and what he had to do had already been done, and as for whether the soldiers would surrender, it would take a few more days to settle.
And these miscellaneous pieces, he should teach a lesson.
Thinking so, he jumped to the front of the army, picked up the clubs he had snatched from the army, beat the lieutenant and his staff, and then returned to the city gate in style.
Seeing that it was him, the guards naturally opened the city gate for him.
Zuo Qiuge came back, and Zhu Shun didn't mean to stay on the right side anymore, so he directly issued an eviction order.
"Right phase, don't send it if you go slowly."
At first glance, he saw that the right minister, who was supposed to be a hostage in his army, didn't react a little, his feet reacted before his brain, and he walked out of the city gate directly.
By the time he could react, it was too late, and the gates had already been closed.
He had no choice but to walk back to the army.
He was even thinking in his heart how he should ask about the cross-examination of Zuochug.
But the first thing that shocked him was the propaganda paper.
The breeze is the most comfortable, but the breeze is too bad to stick the propaganda paper on his face.
He huffed and pulled open the promotional paper, looking at its contents.
As a result, I don't know if I don't know it, and the anger I was holding back in front of Zhu Shun became even heavier.
If you are humiliated by the enemy army, the hostages of the enemy army can also distribute propaganda paper in your own army.
And the second thing that shocked him was the deputy general and the staff.
"Why is there such a two-sided front of the army...... Pig? β
"Master, it's a subordinate."
"Boss, your subordinate is your lieutenant."
Two crying voices exploded in his ears in unison, and the right minister felt that his whole person was not good.
But that's not all.
He was already surprised to find that for some reason, the soldiers in the army looked at him with a faint anger in their eyes.
"What the hell is going on in the army?"
"Then what did Zuochug do in the army?"
"Back to the master...... When he came to the army, it was like going in and out of a no-man's land, and he was distributing propaganda paper and ......"
Although he felt a sweet smell surging up his throat, the right minister still asked, "What else have you done?" β
"I also persuaded the soldiers to surrender ......"
Good guy, after hearing the words, the right minister only felt that the sweet smell in his throat broke through many obstacles, and a strong anger burst out from his chest, and then his brain instantly became congested, knocking him to the ground.
In this way, in front of the soldiers, he fainted gorgeously at the front of the army.
The staff and adjutant general who were beaten into pigs' heads looked at each other, and they were all at a loss, so they had to give the order to retreat again.
"Retreat! Retreatβ"
Looking at the distant figure of the army, Zhu Shun sighed very much, "The right minister is finally gone." β
It is not in vain that they have been studying for so many days what kind of way to deal with the army.
Zuo Chug also sighed with some emotion, "One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion." β
"This is the second time they have retreated without success, and I believe that after this time, they will not come again."
Ah Cha also added: "We really should be well prepared for the coming flood." β
The Right Prime Minister did vomit blood and passed out in a coma as recorded in the system log, which means that their army will be without a commander for at least five days.
Quan Shilang is a person who can't take on big responsibilities, and the lieutenant general and staff of the right minister have been taught a lesson by Zuo Qiug, so there will be no one in the army of the right minister who can really give advice in a short time.
In addition, the right side of the dog emperor blocked the news and adopted the method of reporting good news but not bad news, then they could take advantage of the five days when the right side was unconscious to complete the final deployment before the heavy rain came.
In particular, lifeboats should be lowered into the river.
"In the days leading up to the heavy rains, we're going to have to work harder."
"You are responsible for going door-to-door to inform them that heavy rain is coming, so that they can prepare for the flood."
"You should also tell them in advance about the role of lifeboats, especially women, children and children, and let them be mentally prepared first, lest they will not be able to accept it at that time."
"Finally, we also need to get the lifeboats out so they can be used when the flood comes."
