    ,

    Zheng Fan returned to the tent where he was. He really wanted to take a bath right now, but the military really didn't have such conditions, and it wasn't the time to be extravagant.

    Si Niang put Zheng Fan's head on her lap, helped with the massage, and did the work of an envoy, as the blind man had already said.

    For Siniang, as long as the person is not dead, there is no problem. Anyway, why are you playing instead of playing?

    Therefore, she didn't cry like those traditional women, saying that Lord, next time, don't take risks again.

    Si Niang is well aware of the master's temper. A man's nature is often revealed to the fullest when he is playing with needles.

    She knew that if she had a choice, the Lord would not choose to take risks. The Lord still cherishes his life, but there is really nothing to do about military orders.

    Liang Cheng came in, and Zheng Fan was still lying on Si Niang's lap, and Liang Cheng was no stranger to this scene.

    "My lord."

    Zheng Fan opened his eyes and asked:

    "How is the siege equipment?"

    Liang Cheng shook his head and said, "It took only one day, even if the conscription drove many dry workers to do hard work, but only some ladders were built, and some weapons left by the previous dry soldiers were collected."

    Siege is inherently a difficult job, and preparation in advance is extremely important, but the time is too hasty right now, and there are too many tools that can be used in siege warfare, so there is no time to prepare.

    Similar to the rush car and the arrow tower, including the cannon car, have not yet been seen.

    The city wall of Shangjing City is extremely tall, and there are many guards inside. Although morale is low, they are guarding the city after all, and their psychological advantages are enough to soothe the original panic.

    Zheng Fan sighed. Perhaps, as Li Fusheng said earlier, he knew that there would be no results, but he fought for the sake of fighting.

    It is impossible to look at such a slippery city wall and leave the same slippery city wall.

    When the dog runs to a strange place, he still knows how to urinate and mark it.

    "Okay, got it, you go down and rest too." Zheng Fan said.

    In the face of this situation, the role that individuals or small groups can play is really not great.

    Rao Zheng Fan and the demon kings around him, in fact, all they can do is stand by and watch. If they insist on doing one more thing, it is to pray that Li Fusheng will not take his men and horses to serve as vanguards tomorrow.  .

    "Master, rest, the sky is almost dawn." Siniang said.

    Zheng Fan obediently closed his eyes.

    Just at this time, a group of cavalry rode their horses from West Wind Ferry and entered the barracks, waking up Li Fusheng, who planned to squat for a while to gather more energy for the siege at dawn.

    In the big tent,

    Facing the letter delivered to him,

    Li Fusheng cursed loudly,

    Immediately, he shattered the table case in the big tent with one palm.

    Of course, Zheng Fan didn't know about this matter. When the horn sounded in the army, Zheng Fan hesitated between asking for sick leave, and directly handed over the command of his subordinates to Liang Cheng.  I went directly to the Chinese army to find Li Fusheng.

    Since the influence of staying in the barracks is not very good, then simply stand by Li Fusheng's side. Zheng Fan can probably guess some of Li Fusheng's martial arts. It may not be the third rank, but there should be four or five ranks. The key battlefield is to fight  , Most of the time, they pay attention to efficiency and adapting measures to local conditions. Unlike the heads-up battle between the two sides in the arena, it is impossible to show what they have learned, so it is difficult to directly see the strength of the opponent.

    Those old soldiers who are not even good in the battlefield, they may kill much more people in the chaotic battle than the masters, and at the same time, their probability of surviving is much higher than those masters.

    But no matter what, if you stay by Li Fusheng's side, at least you don't have to be afraid of that woman coming to find you.

    Regarding the Thyme Orchid, Li Fusheng also heard from Zheng Fan yesterday, seeing that Zheng Fan came directly to him to report on the military situation, Li Fusheng just smiled.

    The one who sent someone into the city to serve as an envoy yesterday almost died in the city. It is impossible for him to take another risk today, right?

    Furthermore, Zheng Fan cheated with the help of his subordinate demon kings, and earned a lot of impression points with Li Fusheng and the two Hou Ye, so he should protect it.

    However, what surprised Zheng Fan was that when the Zhenbei Army formed its formation, Zheng Fan did not see the distinction between the front and rear troops, and even the big guys were riding on horses.

    In fact, the infantry combat of the Zhenbei Army is not weak at all. In this era, generally speaking, the quality of the cavalryp; "This is a letter sent by Wen Sutong."

    "He was actually able to send it out."

    Now that the army is in turmoil, if you want to send a letter, Nan Dou is not small.

    "When I left, I left him two smart people."

    Since he is from Green Willow Fort, even if he encounters Yan Jun on the way to deliver the letter, nothing will happen.

    "However, if two people deliver the letter together, one will be folded."

    The price of this letter is really quite high.

    There is no way to do this. At any time, the smooth flow of information channels is extremely important. Even if a few knights are sacrificed for this, the blind man thinks it is worth it.

    "What did you say in the letter?" Liang Cheng asked.

    "I talked about the situation in Chuzhou City, and the situation is basically calm. According to what the Lord said, the Emperor Qian should have indeed issued a decree to prohibit the three armies from returning to aid, so Chuzhou City is still in our hands.  Steadily be a puppet army."

    "Um."

    "However, one thing that makes me feel very strange is that there is one more thing added at the end of the letter."

    "explain."

    "Wen Sutong once sent people to contact the surrounding area to persuade other city defenders in Chu County to surrender, but with little success."

    "As expected."

    Although Chu County has been trampled by the Yan army, it is still far away from passing the call. After all, the soldiers and horses from the three sides of the Qian Kingdom have not returned.  The northern officials will be desperate because of this, so that except for a few steadfast factions, the rest will either flee to the south or surrender directly to Dayan.

    "Wen Sutong is an old fox, he didn't speak clearly, but I saw what he meant."

    "Needless to say, anyway, both of you, grandson and son-in-law, are foxes."

    The blind man directly skipped Liang Cheng's ridicule,

    opened the mouth and said:

    "Wen Sutong's sending people to inform the whole territory of Chu County is actually a kind of investigation. In the letter, he said that apart from Chuzhou City, which is the route our army and horses passed, there are also several towns in the west of Chu County.  I was once attacked by my Yan army, and the Yan army continued to go south after supplying supplies and grass here."

    Hearing this, Liang Cheng's face suddenly became serious. Obviously, he realized the hidden message here.

    "That road, judging from the marching direction, should be Li Bao's team."

    Liang Cheng nodded, and said: "It is indeed them, so here comes the problem."

    "Yes, here comes the problem. As a descendant, Wen Sutong didn't dare to blatantly ask about our military planning intentions. He could only mention it in this way. However, he did help us a lot."

    "Yes, a reassurance."

    Next to him, A Ming, who had been dozing in the tent, was a little dissatisfied:

    "Hey, I'm the only outsider in the tent, what's the point of playing riddles when you talk?"

    Liang Cheng turned his head to look at A Ming, pointed to the letter in the blind man's hand, and said:

    "The meaning is very simple, that is, the 200,000 main force led by the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Jingnan Army has disappeared."

    "It's gone?" A Ming was a little puzzled, subconsciously said: "It should be hidden, right?"

    "Chu County is basically a plain, and even mountains are rare. There are 200,000 troops, people plus horses, and hundreds of thousands of living creatures. How can it be completely hidden.

    Before entering Chu County, Li Fusheng's team was separated from the main force, and then we also knew that another team was going south like us, that is Li Bao's team.

    But the problem is that after leaving Chu County, only these two teams were fighting each other, and the main force did not appear.  "

    "Hey, didn't you guys say you were hiding there waiting for the reinforcements from the country?"

    Liang Cheng shook his head and said:

    "But there is a problem. You have to know that with an army of 200,000, plus so many horses, the food and supplies consumed by the people are astronomical.

    Judging from Wen Sutong's letter, in the whole of Chu County, except for the two soldiers of us and Li Bao who broke through the town in order to obtain supplies, the rest of Chu County did not have the kind of situation where a pack of wolves rushed in.  "

    Ah Ming was silent.

    The blind man licked his lips and said, "Interesting, interesting."

    "It's really interesting. Emperor Qian saw through Dayan's plan early on, so from the very beginning, he ordered the three parties to prohibit one soldier from going south, intending to trap Yan's cavalry group in this way.

    But in the end, only Li Fusheng's half-armed soldiers and Li Bao's half-armed soldiers fought from beginning to end. The total may be 60,000 horsemen.

    ?The 200,000 cavalry main force led by Zhenbeihou and Jingnanhou,

    but,

    Disappeared¡­¡­"?, only Li Fusheng's half town troops and Li Bao's half town troops, add up, maybe only 60,000 horses.

    ?The 200,000 cavalry main force led by Zhenbeihou and Jingnanhou,

    but,

    Disappeared ?
