Chapter Seventy-Three: The Siege Begins

When the morning sun shines through the window the next day, and the sun shines on my face impartially, I am awakened by this warmth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When I opened my eyes, I saw Zhao Qian lying in my arms like a gentle kitten.

Her black hair was like a silky silk that was so soft that it covered us, and the faint scent of her hair lingered on the tip of my nose and never dissipated.

In stark contrast to her jet-black hair, it was as white as jade, but faintly revealing pink skin.

The palm of his hand caressed over her indescribable skin, and it felt like it was in water, and there was no uncomfortable hindrance at all.

At this time, she was still asleep, but she didn't seem to sleep very deeply, her body was mostly on top of me, and she was curled up a little, her head resting on my shoulder, and half of her face still had kiss marks.

Originally, I remembered it, but seeing that she didn't wake up, I dispelled this thought and quietly looked at my first woman,

Maybe my gaze was too substantial, and after being stared at by me for a while, her eyebrows frowned, her long eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes.

When I looked at her, I saw her smile sweetly and asked, "How long have you been staring at me?"

I just shook my head and smiled, "I don't know, I've been watching it for a long time!"

As if thinking of something, she looked a little embarrassed, raised her hand and slapped my chest, and said angrily: "I don't get up early in the morning, what do you see, do you want to do bad things again!"

Seeing that she actually said this, I couldn't help but reply, "What bad things to do, I think you also like to do bad things!"

"You...... No shame!"

Her face was crimson, and she was very ashamed to say a word to me, and she buried her face in her hair and wouldn't let me see it.

I thought it was funny, but seeing her look of shame and indignation, I didn't say anything to laugh at her.

Gently patting her exposed jade back, I said, "Qian'er, I have something to tell you." ā€

"Well, you say, I'll listen!"

When she responded to me, the girl still didn't look up, probably because the blush on her face hadn't faded yet, and she didn't want to lift it up.

"When are we going to see Qingling and them?"

There was nothing wrong with my words, but one word was captured by her.

"What do you mean by 'they'?"

I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, raised my hand and grabbed my hair, and said, "Didn't I tell you, they are Qingling and Wuchen, and I have already married the two of them." ā€

"Come back with me to meet them, they will accept you!"

After I finished speaking, she was inexplicably silent and didn't answer for a long time.

The hand around her slender waist was a little harder, and I asked, "Hey, Qian'er, are you listening to me?"

I saw her head nodded, and then said in a low voice: "I, I can't go back with you!"

"Why?"

When I heard her say that, I panicked and wondered what if she didn't want to go back with me.

When I asked her, she explained: "I will be the queen of Zhao Kingdom, my father entrusted Zhao Kingdom to me, how can I abandon it!"

Her reasons are indeed seamless, and I can't find a way to refute her, but she is my woman, how can I let her stay here alone to be a queen.

But......

I was about to say something, but I was blocked by the sudden sticking of my lips.

After a long kiss, she smiled and said, "Don't think about it too much, we're still together all the time, aren't we?

Her explanation made my heart feel much less depressed, and I kissed her back, pressed her delicate body under me, and smiled, "What should we do now?"

I'm sure there's no way she's not going to hear what I'm thinking.

However, after understanding her meaning, she didn't cooperate, so she gave me a coquettish look, and her lotus arm followed me and pushed me up.

"It's dawn, I can't get up yet, what do you want to do!"

"Uh......"

I felt helpless, so I could only get up honestly, wash up, and say a word to her, and I went out first.

After pushing the door open, I didn't forget to close the door, and when I turned around, I saw Zhao San and Zhao Si standing in the courtyard.

The two guys were still looking at me with a teasing face, smiling and groaning, and they could see that the hairs on my back were straight.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Si may have been more wooden, and the smile on his face was not reduced, but he did not speak.

And Zhao San immediately suppressed the smile on his face, and at the same time touched Zhao Si's shoulder with his hand, and said, "Hey, what about you, what are you laughing at?"

The expression on Zhao Si's face immediately turned confused, he looked at Zhao San, and then at me, as if he didn't know what was going on.

Seeing these two guys playing treasure, I really couldn't be angry, so I could only wave my hand at them helplessly.

Zhao San immediately came to my side, bowed, and said with a low smile: "Zhao San has seen Lord Yibin!"

Zhao San did this, and Zhao Si immediately bowed to me and said, "Zhao Si has seen Lord Yibin. ā€

To be honest, I don't like the title of "guest of honor" at all, how strange it feels to hear it!

"Can you change the name, Lord Yibin sounds weird. ā€

"Really...... So what's the best thing to do with that......"

Probably not understanding what I said, Zhao San scratched his head in some distress, as if he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.

Zhao Si, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Zhao Si has seen a horse!"

"Isn't this supposed to be a title only for the husband of Princess Daqin?"

Zhao San echoed and said: "Master Horse, in our Zhao Kingdom, everything should be according to the rules of our Zhao Kingdom, in Zhao Kingdom, you are the Master of the Horse!"

"Uh......"

I don't care too much about this kind of title, as long as it's not as weird as it sounds!

"What are you talking about?"

When the three of us were idle and discussing this kind of thing, Zhao Qian came out of the house after dressing up and heard our conversation.

When she said a word, I could only smile awkwardly and didn't say anything.

At this moment, the general Yebei rode in on horseback, dismounted and knelt down in front of us, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the County Lord, His Royal Highness Yibin, Dongyi has raised all the soldiers to attack, and please go to discuss the troops!"

Knowing that the military situation was urgent, Zhao Qian and I did not delay, and we didn't have to eat breakfast, and went directly to the Chinese army tent in the city.

When I entered another tent, I saw more generals standing than yesterday waiting, and a large map hung on the wall.

"I've seen the general, I've seen His Royal Highness the county lord. ā€

Yebei asked Zhao Qian to go first, and Zhao Qian immediately asked all the generals to get up, and then Yebei began to issue combat orders.

A silver-armored general in his thirties said: "Report to the general, according to the report of the horses, the Dongyi army is no less than 150,000, and it is coming straight to Liyang, and the troops will soon come to the city!"

Seeing that Dongyi came in such a hurry, I also had a bad feeling in my heart.

The more anxious they came, the more it showed that these people were prepared, otherwise it would be impossible to assemble this army in a short time.

It may be that the number of enemy troops is too terrifying, and the whispers that were originally there have disappeared without a trace, and everyone's eyes are on Yebei.

Yebei was not in a hurry, and after sweeping his gaze, he fell on me and asked, "Lord Yibin, I don't know what you think?"

When I was mentioned as a guest, the eyes of these generals changed and became more respectful.

Seriously, even though I've participated in Legion battles, I don't know anything about this kind of stuff at all, and when asked, it's a blind eye.

However, I do know that this is the test of Yebei for me!

Whether it is from the perspective of a general or from the perspective of Uncle Qian'er, he will test me to see if I am Qian'er, or even someone who Zhao Guo can entrust.

Before, Zhao San said that Zhao had an army of 500,000, and General Yebei controlled 30%, that is, 150,000, but it was impossible for all of these horses to be placed in Liyang.

"General Night, dare to ask how many soldiers and horses are stationed in Liyang?"

Yebei didn't answer me, and it was the silver-armored general from before who answered, "Lord Yibin, there are less than 40,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Liyang!"

As soon as he said this, I immediately forgot what I was going to say next.

Didn't Yebei say that Liyang is a military powerhouse, why are there so few standing garrisons in this kind of place!

Seeing what I was thinking, the man explained quietly: "Lord Yibin, the general has 150,000 troops in his hands, and he is stationed in four cities, Liyang, Moyang in the southeast of Liyang, Xunyang in the northeast of Liyang, and Wuyang in the west of Liyang. ā€

"Liyang, Moyang, Xunyang into the 'product' type of defense, with Liyang as the center, the most important!"

"Originally, troops could have been transferred from the other three cities, but Moyang and Xunyang were also eyed by Dongyi, and they could not use troops easily, and the situation in the country was not clear, and Wuyang, as the rear, was also not allowed to move, so ......"

Hearing him stop here, I added: "So, Liyang must rely on 40,000 troops to defend the city, right!"

All the generals, including Yebei, nodded in unison, they were sure that this was the case!

I have to say that Dongyi really gave me a big problem.

If I can't solve this problem, Yebei may be the first person to oppose me and Zhao Qian!

Looking away from the soldiers, I asked, "How long can the food, grass, and ordnance in the city last?"

Speaking of grain and grass, another general stepped forward and said: "Report to Lord Yibin, the grain, grass and ordnance in Liyang are enough to hold on for more than a month!"

"How long can the Dongyi army, which has lost its supply, continue to attack the city?"

I asked this question by looking at Yebei, and I saw that a light seemed to burst out in his eyes, and he responded to me and said: "Three days, if you attack the city with all your might, it can only be three days." Even if you slaughter war horses for food, it will only be three days!"

Finally got the answer I wanted, I couldn't help but smile and said: "General, I will do the matter of robbing grain, I need you to give me three thousand elite horsemen and a general who has been in battle for a long time!"

Smiled and nodded, it seemed that he was in a good mood, Yebei pointed to these generals in front of him and said: "These people have been fighting for a long time with me, and they can all be called battle-hardened, Lord Yibin chooses for himself." ā€

I didn't think it was strange that there might be a situation where Yebei would give me the power to choose.

After sweeping my eyes over these generals, I pointed to one of them and said, "Okay, then I'll choose him!"

......
