Shu Blossoms

Chapter 71
In the middle of the night, the moon quietly climbed to the top of the tree, and the city gate returned to tranquility. Liao Wennan was so tired that he sat on the ground and rested. There will be soldiers from other teams to replace them.

Song Zaiyan arranged tasks for the people according to where they lived, and assigned them to the city gates close to their homes. He also transferred a batch of armor and weapons from the warehouse of the governor's house. First, they would be used by some soldiers who temporarily enlisted in the army tonight. Shicai took a breath and saw Liao Wennan sitting on the ground, he walked over slowly and sat down a distance away from her.

"I'm so busy tonight!"

Song Zaiyan let out a long breath, and lightly beat his sore legs with both hands.

Liao Wennan looked at the distance between the two and felt that it was inconvenient to speak. He supported his body and moved towards Song Zaiyan. He lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Brother Song is worthy of being the number one staff member of the prefectural government, and the means are really good!"

Song Zaiyan knew that he arranged for someone to guide the emotions among the people, and she could not help but explain in a low voice with a wry smile: "It's very tricky in an extraordinary time, it's not a fool to fool the people. Weird!"

Liao Wennan had seen countless despicable methods in his previous life, how could he be angry because of such a small trick.

And although this move is not fair, the purpose is to save the people of this city.

Liao Wennan's point was not to be critical, but to remind him: "Let those few people pay attention, don't expose yourself, if someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it, it may cause civil unrest."

Song Zaiyan nodded solemnly when he heard the words, "I have told them, I will try to arrange them in inconspicuous places."

Liao Wennan remembered something and asked Song Zaiyan: "Even if we make these arrangements, we are not completely sure that we will be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive. Could it be that Lord Inspector did not arrange a way back for the people?"

Song Zaiyan showed a stretched smile on his face, "I am willing to be a staff officer in Qingzhou City, not only for the future, but also because Zhao Shishi is a capital that truly cares for the people."

"Why do you think Mulingguan has hoarded a thousand elite soldiers for nothing? If it wasn't for the prefect who thought your words were more reasonable, tonight, soldiers will escort the people to evacuate to Mulingguan, and then enter Langya County from Mulingguan. Guan is also the last barrier of our defense. Let me tell you secretly, Lord Prefect has decided that if the situation in Qingzhou deteriorates in a few days, at the last moment, he will send the people away first!"

After listening to Song Zaiyan's words, Liao Wennan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the little memories of Qingzhou in her previous life told her that Qingzhou would not break the city, and she knew that even if these people escaped from Qingzhou, they would have to suffer all kinds of hardships and torture, and even lose their lives, but she couldn't bear to take it out because of her own ideas. All the people of a city fought in it.

At this moment, in the Dawei army twenty miles outside the city, a general wearing Dawei's black armor rushed into Tuobayu's tent. Everyone in the tent who was negotiating raised their heads to look at him. Disgust flashed by.

"Your Highness, why don't you attack the city tonight?"

The general ignored the others, but went straight to the middle of the tent and questioned Tuobayu.

Tuoba Yu looked at the general with a white beard and an arrogant face in front of him. He suddenly smiled, "The soldiers are tired from attacking the city today, take a good rest tonight and wait till tomorrow."

"Today's siege is tired. Let's change to another batch. We have a full 5 people. Even if we divide our troops into two groups, we are twice as many soldiers in Qingzhou City. We should take down Qingzhou City in one go, so as to avoid long nights and dreams."

The general didn't care and said lightly.

"General He Lai said it lightly, didn't you see how many soldiers of my Great Wei died today? The Great Zhou Army relies on the advantages of Qingzhou City. A single stone can kill one of our soldiers, and all the soldiers behind will be killed. Let’s smash it down, according to this style of play, Qingzhou City is captured, and the soldiers in our hands are almost worn out, so what can we use to attack the city behind!”

Standing in the tent, a cavalry general stood up with a 'ho' and angrily questioned the outspoken General He Lai.

"This will not bother your third highness and you. If that day comes, your majesty will definitely send another elite troops to attack the hinterland of Dazhou."

This General He Lai did not know where he came from, but he was so daring to ignore the increasingly ugly faces of the generals in the army, and he was still not ashamed of his life and death.

"General He Lai means that my Northwest Army is nothing more than cannon fodder for this southern expedition. If it is dead, it will be dead, right?"

Tuoba Yu's lazy body gradually sat up straight, his slightly squinted eyes flashed, his tone was gentle but cold, and he said the last two words, revealing a bit of danger.

It was only at this moment that General He Lai suddenly realized that his words had angered His Highness, the prince who once made a killing decision in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Some time ago, the prince was not known by someone's plan to lose one after another, and he was kidnapped by Da Zhou. Although he finally escaped by himself, his reputation in the Dawei court still plummeted.

However, in a few months, I forgot about Tuobayu's cruel methods of punishing the enemy, and I couldn't help but feel a little scared in my heart. In addition to sweating all over my body, I quickly lowered my aura and bowed my head to give in: "This is not what the end general meant. Superintendent, General Mo will naturally do his best. After all, we are close to the hinterland of Da Zhou at this time. If we don’t take Qingzhou City in one go and are surrounded by their reinforcements, the Nanzheng Army will definitely suffer heavy losses! I hope Your Highness will understand Mo General’s painstaking efforts.”

"General He Lai's painstaking efforts are naturally sympathetic. It's just that General He Lai saw the situation in Qingzhou City opposite tonight. The lights in Qingzhou City were on all night, and various movements were heard from time to time, and the soldiers on the city wall were afraid. Nearly [-] people, if there are so many people in a single city gate in Qingzhou City, we think it will not be easy to break through in a short period of time, right?"

Tuobayu leaned on the table lazily again, his clear voice was somewhat ironic.

"This must be the conspiracy of the people of Da Zhou! They are here to deceive us!"

General He Lai hurriedly said.

"Of course it's a conspiracy, but what is this conspiracy? How to avoid it, if you don't find out, what if you are caught in an ambush? Just like General He Lai's intention, it's okay for our Nanzheng army to die, which delays the progress of the siege. I'm afraid I'll be blamed by Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Yu's words became more and more yin and yang, and with a bit of sneering ridicule, all the generals in the hall looked at General He Lai coldly.

At the end of August, there was more and more cold sweat on General Tianhelai's forehead. He wanted to run out of the camp, but his legs seemed to be pinned to the ground by everyone's gaze, and he couldn't move.

"As the chief general of the Southern Expedition Army, Ben will naturally be responsible for the soldiers under his command and the situation on the battlefield, and win the greatest victory with the smallest sacrifice. This general was just discussing the method of siege with the generals. As for the people of Da Zhou, Conspiracy, it's up to you, General He Lai, to help investigate!"

As soon as Tuobayu's stern aura was taken away, General He Lai suddenly felt a loosening of his body, and repeatedly responded "Hey", staggering and fled.
