Although old man Shi said that he would not follow them to the valley, he failed to control his legs and left Bai's house early in the morning after them.

At this time, Dou Dou, Jiuyue, and Han Shi were sitting together in Qingcheng and having breakfast.

"The city wall has been strengthened. As for the food, grass and ordnance we need, we will arrive in two days. This time should be the last counterattack of the rebels. As long as we win this battle, we can disarm and return to the fields."

Jiyue paused slightly after listening to her husband's words. She had long wanted to go back to the valley. In the past five years, she had seen too many joys and sorrows. It can be said that she had truly grown up at this time and was able to help her husband on her own. .

But if possible, she would rather stay in the valley like her eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and never come out. She has not been back to the valley for five years. She doesn’t know how A Niang and Qiu’er are doing these days, but thinking about them is very important. She was about to leave the mountain, and she couldn't wait to return to Tiecheng, but she knew she couldn't, the army couldn't do without her, and she had to stay in Qingcheng when the war was about to break out.

Han Shi put down his chopsticks after listening to his third brother's words; "There is no doubt that we will definitely win this battle, but what I am worried about is that the enemy will not give up resistance so easily."

Dou Dou was stunned when he heard that, and quickly realized; "Brother is worried that they will hide in the dark and harm us."

"That's for sure. If it wasn't for the strength of our army in the past few years, we have robbed the opponent's food twice, and the rain disaster the year before, they wouldn't have lost so quickly. Do you know why your majesty has never sent troops to Yongcheng?"

"Naturally, I know some of them. The people have suffered too much these years. Due to various reasons, countless people have died. Your Majesty no longer wants to fight any more."

"Another reason is that the rebels in Yongcheng are different from the other two groups. The other two groups of rebels are not popular, but the rebels in Yongcheng are different. The leader Sun Kong is a great figure. In recent years, he has brought Yongcheng to the throne. The government was very good, and no one in the city was hungry, so he was very supported by the people of Yongcheng.

In our eyes, he is a rebel, but in the eyes of the people of Yongcheng, he is the savior. At least in the years when the world was in chaos, he protected Yongcheng and did not displace the people. Crisis, the reason why he can persist until now. "

"In this case, why doesn't your majesty ask for peace? Our majesty is not too tolerant. As long as he surrenders, his majesty will definitely let him live."

"In the past two years, as far as I know, there have been three waves, but the three waves of recruiters were killed as soon as they entered Yongcheng."

"Why is this?" Jiuyue asked curiously as she looked at her elder brother.

"Because Sun Kong is the only one left in the Sun family. His whole family was killed by the late emperor, and he died unjustly. His death was extremely tragic. His wife jumped down in grief and anger after being insulted by the late emperor. Under such a premise, do you think he will surrender?"

Dou Dou sighed when he heard this; "That means immortality."

Han Shi nodded silently. The late emperor was dead. Even if he was no longer a thing during his lifetime, as ministers, it was hard for them to evaluate him.

"Eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will be here soon." Jiuyue looked at the two of them and reminded them.

Han Shi's expression softened a lot when he thought about his wife; "With Tuanzi and Nuomi here, as long as she doesn't come to Qingcheng, she should be fine."

Dou Dou and Jiuyue nodded in agreement. (End of chapter)
