The situation in Jingzhou is more severe than imagined. The people in Jingzhou only know King Mu but not the emperor.

King Mu was the half-brother of Emperor Xuan of the Jin Dynasty. His mother had a humble status and was born as a palace maid. King Mu's fiefdom was in Jingzhou, but not all of Jingzhou. However, after decades of management and encroachment, King Mu's power expanded.

Both sides were common people of the Jin Dynasty. General Mighty followed Shen Changan's wishes and tried not to use force.

They used all peaceful means to persuade the other side to surrender, but obviously, it was of no use. Outside the main city of Jingzhou, a mighty general led an army of [-] troops stationed outside the city. From time to time, the sound of soldiers shouting in formation could be heard in the city.

Some young and energetic generals were so angry that they took the initiative to ask for a battle, but the mighty general refused and allowed the Jingcheng officers and soldiers to scold him.

When Shen Changan led the subsequent army to Jingcheng, the people she sent to Mobei and Northern Wei also arrived in Jingcheng.

Although the two armies were facing each other, King Mu held a banquet and invited Shen Changan and others to the banquet in Jingcheng.

The banquet was not a good one, it looked like the Hongmen Banquet. The envoys sent by King Mu used all their tricks, but Shen Changan still had time to sit in the seat, as if watching a monkey show.

The envoy said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't you take our Prince Mu seriously?!"

"Yes," Shen Changan nodded, "The envoy also said, I am the emperor, why should I take King Mu seriously?"

The envoy choked, and Shen Changan continued: "King Mu is a rebellious minister. Just after the natural disasters in the past few years, and soon after the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, civil strife broke out. This move will not be a pity even if it means death from heaven and earth. The envoy should go back and persuade King Mu to surrender!"

The two armies fought and the envoy was not killed. The envoy was very angry and returned to Jingcheng safely. He added insult to injury and conveyed Shen Changan's attitude to King Mu.

Prince Mu's Mansion was originally the governor's residence in Jingcheng, but after King Mu came, the governor of Jingzhou was imprisoned, and King Mu occupied the governor's residence.

In the main hall, King Mu looks like he is in his 40s. He looks elegant and easy-going, but in fact he is a ruthless person with a kind face and a cruel heart.

He sat on the upper seat, and below him were officials and generals of all sizes.

After listening to the envoy's words, King Mu showed no trace of humiliation or resentment on his face. He said with a smile: "Since the emperor doesn't want to come, I won't force you to come. You can go there again later and deliver some Jingzhou specialties to the emperor for me." .”

specialty?

What specialties do they have in Jingzhou?
The envoy saw the warm smile on King Mu's face and instantly understood that their prince was going to war with the imperial court!

Tonight was originally a dinner party prepared for Shen Changan and others, but they did not come, so the officials and generals present entertained themselves. King Mu waved his hand, and the dancers entered, leaving the room in a state of drunkenness and excitement.

Outside Prince Mu's Mansion, the bustling night market turned out to be eerily quiet, with the people hiding in their homes and not daring to come out.

In the cellar of a family, the children of this family only drank half a bowl of rice porridge with as many grains as they could count.

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

The child was sallow and skinny, holding his stomach and complaining that he was hungry. The woman hurriedly held him in her arms and coaxed him to sleep.

"Be good, go to bed quickly. You won't be hungry when you fall asleep."

The child nodded sensibly, curled up in his mother's arms and fell asleep. He didn't say a word to his mother.

He misses his father.

After the woman put the child to sleep, she quietly opened the tattered cabinet and took out a black-faced steamed bun as dry as a stone.

She broke the buns into small pieces and soaked them in ice-cold water. The children would be able to drink the paste tomorrow.Although it is cold and sore throat, it is better than starving to death.

The woman looked outside through the cracks in the cellar in a daze. She and her husband were ordinary people, running a bun shop. Although their lives were not rich, the family was happy and happy.

But all this was broken by King Mu. A few days ago, the husband who had made money to buy her a gold hairpin was forcibly recruited. Before leaving, the husband only had time to hide her and the child in the cellar and gave them instructions. If you don't come out, you'll be captured by those soldiers.

The woman is pretty and delicate, but she still dares not go out. She is afraid of being caught by the officers and soldiers. Those beasts don't even let teenage girls go!
Jingcheng has become a hell on earth. Men are forced to join the army and women are turned into military prostitutes. In order to prevent them from rebelling, King Mu's people threatened them with their families.

The woman subconsciously hugged the child tightly.

She couldn't die, couldn't fall into the hands of those beasts, otherwise her child wouldn't survive.

In the camp outside Jingcheng, Shen Changan was reading a letter from the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Tantai Ji. She exchanged the antidote for the Northern Wei Dynasty's [-]-strong army to defend against Emperor Xuan of the Jin Dynasty.

But it didn't work, and now that it could be used, Shen Changan asked someone to send a message to the Northern Wei Emperor, asking him to send troops and generals to go around Jingzhou to help.

And over in Mobei, Tantai Ji personally led [-] troops to plunder Shen Changan's formation.

The entire Jin Dynasty had more than 40 troops, but only 10,000+ could be mobilized. What Shen Changan wanted was to capture King Mu and others with the least casualties.

The encirclement by the armies of the Three Kingdoms will undoubtedly frighten the courage of most Jingzhou troops.

As the main city of Jingzhou, Jingcheng is undoubtedly vast in area. Almost all the resources of Jingzhou are concentrated in this city. However, these resources can only be enjoyed by King Mu and others. Ordinary people are worse off than dead in Jingzhou!
Shen Changan discovered that almost every day in Jingcheng, there were people scolding the formation on the city wall, and the words were particularly unpleasant. The military households in the army were more irritable than ordinary people. After listening to the scolding formation in Jingcheng, sometimes they couldn't control their anger. Get angry and yell at them.

"General," Shen Changan listened to the scolding outside, "pass the order and attack the city tomorrow!"

General Mighty was overjoyed when he heard Shen Changan's words, and other generals in the camp were also very excited.

Damn it, after being scolded for so long and being a grandson for so many days, I can finally have a good fight!

Grandma, let those turtle grandsons see who is the grandson and who is the master!
After the mighty general was happy, he ordered someone to go out. He frowned and said to Shen Chang'an: "Your Majesty, Jingcheng scolds the formation every day just to provoke us to attack the city. If we attack the city tomorrow, isn't it just what they want?"

Shen Chang'an planted a red flag on the sand table, "I will attack the city tomorrow and I will order the general to take full control of it. If there is anything fishy, ​​we will withdraw our troops immediately."

"The minister takes orders!"

After the mighty general left, Gu Qichi came back. He was dressed in black. Tonight, he and several secret guards were going to visit Jingcheng at night.

"tired?"

Gu Qichi walked up behind Shen Changan and massaged her shoulders. Shen Changan stretched and said, "I'm not tired."

"By the way," Shen Changan turned to Gu Qichi and said, "I'll go with you tonight."

"No," Gu Qichi refused, "Jingcheng is heavily guarded..."

Shen Changan made a silent movement and said: "But I have mental power and their help, so I won't hold you back."

Alas, she didn't even have the slightest talent for martial arts. Otherwise, if she practiced Qing Gong well, she wouldn't have to discuss it with Gu Qichi.

She can slip away on her own!
