Cheng Jiao opened his eyes and said, "Siege the city?"

Daiguo has always cut off roads, if you don't hit me, I won't hit you, when will the city besieged.

Cheng Jiao immediately put on his armor, and led a group of generals to the tower. At this time, every house in the city closed its doors, and there were soldiers of Qin running everywhere.

Outside the city gate, a huge roar echoed under the sky of the city.

Cheng Jiao climbed up the tower under the protection of several tower shieldmen, and saw that the whole village was surrounded by darkness. At this time, it was wishful thinking to break out of the siege and ask for help.

The cavalry approached the city, took turns to shoot arrows across the city, and then retreated quickly. The soldiers of the Qin army also started shooting at each other one after another, not to let the acting army approach.

For a while, there were casualties on both sides.

Yinghe commanded the Iron Crossbow Battalion to guard on their respective towers. This battle lasted for three hours, and they were all exhausted. Even if the Qin army had a city to hold on, it still killed or injured 800 people.

Finally, instead of attacking the city, the Dai army was stationed around Tunliu instead of attacking.

Yinghe, Cheng Jiao and the others looked at this scene, feeling like a knife was twisting their hearts. Cheng Jiao said: "I'm afraid they want to starve us to death. For the present plan, we can only wait for the heavy snow."

The rest of the generals also saw the purpose of the Dai army, and without any ordnance such as ladders, it is nonsense to attack the city head-on. Why did the Dai army do this?

Ying stared straight at the tired soldiers on the lower tower, all of them had gloomy complexions and wandering eyes.

It's a sign of bad morale.

Just wait until the snow comes.

The Dai army cannot run in the snow for a long time. At that time, they will lose their advantage, and that is the only way to expel the Dai army to break through!

Cheng Jiao said: "Uncle, you must hold on."

Cheng Jiao finally knew at this moment that this was their only way to survive. On the second day, the Dai army launched a bluffing attack again, and the two sides shot at each other for three hours before stopping again.

The Dai army harassed them for seven full days. On this day, it suddenly snowed. Although it was far from being filled with snow, it already made Cheng Jiao and the others ecstatic.

"Retired! The acting army has retreated!"

"Haha, they retreated."

The soldiers of Qin State on the city tower have all jumped up one after another.

Yinghe also said pleasantly: "Sure enough, when the Dai army saw snow falling from the sky, they knew that they would not be able to siege the city."

Before that, they were worried in every possible way. There were more and more wounded soldiers in the city. Some people were seriously injured and died after a few days.

Although there are cities in Tunliu that refuse to defend, Cheng Jiao and others have already seen that the morale of the Qin army has begun to undergo a huge change in the past seven days. What the Dai army did was to use up the shortage of food and grass and the fear of siege. Their morale.

Everyone looked at the Qin army that finally retreated, and they were overjoyed. They won peace and said: "Mr. Chang'an, quickly send people to Guanzhong. This time, we must inform the king of Daiguo's plan in detail, and let the king find a way to reinforce us, otherwise , The Dai army will make a comeback, it is unimaginable."

Cheng Jiao nodded again and again and said: "Yes, leave this matter to me. The city was besieged for seven days, and I think morale has been greatly damaged. Now that the acting army has retreated, you should find a way to appease the soldiers in the city, in case there is a big blow. change."

Zhao Chengdao: "Don't worry, Mr. Chang'an, we will take strict precautions in the end."

Cheng Jiao raised his eyebrows and said, "When necessary, measures can be taken!"

In addition to food, Tunliu is now facing a new huge problem, that is, the chaos of soldiers.

Zhao Ji was playing the piano when she suddenly saw the snow falling outside the window, her cheeks blushed and she said, "Zhao Qin, come out with me to have a look."

Su Jie looked at the rosy and joyful Zhao Ji in front of him, and said: "The Queen Mother has recovered from her serious illness, and I feel a little relieved at last, and it is not in vain for the king's trust to let me accompany the Queen Mother in the palace for such a long time. .”

Zhao Ji's expression froze suddenly, she looked at Su Jie and said, "You want to go?"

Su Jie nodded, and said: "Since the Queen Mother has recovered from illness, there is no reason for me to keep it."

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, and Su Jieyi could see the struggle in her heart. Zhao Ji said: "If the palace does not allow you to leave, you have to leave too? You leave, leaving me alone?"

Su Jie murmured: "Queen Mother, you have never been alone, you still have the King."

Suddenly, Zhao Ji's face turned red, and she said in a deep voice: "You once told me that I am your son and that you are my son Boya. You don't know what I think? If you I know, but you still leave like this and ignore me, this does not mean that what you said to this palace is all a lie to me."

Su Jie looked at Zhao Ji in front of him, and said, "Of course I won't just walk away, the Queen Mother should know."

Su Jie already knew that Zhao Ji had seen his identity from the very beginning, but Zhao Ji didn't tell the truth, why?To keep him.

Su Jie cannot stay by his side.

However, Zhao Qin can do it, and both of them understand it in their hearts.

Zhao Ji bit her lower lip, with strong unwillingness and grievance in her eyes, she said: "I don't know, I don't know anything, I only know, I don't want you to go, if you ignore me, you will Run thousands of miles to the sky, and I will catch you back. If you don’t get back in one year, it will be two years. If you can’t get back in two years, it will be ten years. You can't wait ten years."

Su Jie looked at Zhao Ji who was looking furious in front of him, and his mood was also complicated.

What is complicated is not Zhao Ji's friendship with him that shouldn't have appeared.

But Zhao Ji, Ying Zheng, and the world are all closely related. Could it be that I let myself watch Zhao Ji restart that period of history?In other words, just looking at her and disregarding her beauty, these are not what Su Jie wants to see.

This is the arrangement of history and Zhao Ji's fate.

These are what Zhao Ji should bear.

Changing fate against the sky?But there is still one thing that cannot be changed, that is, she is the mother of the first emperor.

Su Jie was tossing and turning in his mind, and it was difficult to say the next word. Could it be that she was going to go find something to mess around with?Give her some hope?But doing so is still bullying her, and this is not what Su Jie is willing to do.

Zhao Ji stepped forward with aggrievedness, and came to Su Jie. The two were very close, Su Jie stepped back, and said: "Queen Mother, I am your subject. I will always be here and will always protect you and the king. Please, Queen Mother." Forgive me for your hard work."

Zhao Ji tried her best to suppress her voice, and said: "The high-sounding words are the reason for your duplicity? I know, you know my mind, but do you know, I also know your mind."

Su Jie was stunned on the spot, unable to answer.

Zhao Ji went on to say: "You said, you will always protect this palace and the king! But, you have thought that you did protect the king, but you have never protected me. You always say you protect this palace, but this palace When the palace needs you, you leave the palace, is this your reasoning?"

Chapter 364 The forehead thief, your mother!

Su Jie raised his head and looked at Zhao Ji who was filled with grievance and anger.

Of course he understood what Zhao Ji meant by protection, and naturally he would not use sophistry to justify it, it was meaningless.

It's true that she didn't protect Zhao Ji well. If she did, how could she have the idea of ​​dying.

Looking at Zhao Ji who was sobbing, the two were relatively speechless.

After crying for a while, Zhao Ji stood up and said, "If you want to leave, I can help you, but I want you to tell me in front of my face."

Su Jie asked: "What are you going to tell the Queen Mother?"

Zhao Ji asked slowly: "Since you are my confidant, you must know me, so tell me, does Su Jie have me in his heart?"

Looking at Zhao Ji who was deeply asleep, Su Jie's face was complicated. At this moment, he finally couldn't hide the unnaturalness on his face. Zhao Ji lifted the quilt on his shoulders. Su Jie stepped forward to cover her again, but Seeing Zhao Ji's hand tightly holding onto the white jade hairpin, she smiled slightly.

Su Jie froze there immediately.

a long time.

Su Jie put down the big curtain again, sighed slightly, looked around, looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar hall, finally stopped hesitating, turned around and left, he gently closed the gate of the palace.

The door made a creaking sound, as if it wanted to seal the place.

The moment Su Jie stepped out of the eaves, Zhao Ji who was on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, and soon, tears fell from the corners of her eyes like rain. She knew that from now on, there would never be Zhao Qin again.

"enough."

Zhao Ji's vague voice echoed in the hall.

Tears wet the pillow and quilt, Zhao Ji seemed to be laughing again!

In Yingzheng's warm pavilion, the two were sitting opposite each other, playing chess. As soon as Yingzheng made a move, he looked up at Su Jie and said, "Teacher, are you not in a good mood today?"

Su Jie nodded and said: "I bid farewell to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is already in good health. As long as you take more care of her in the future, nothing else will happen."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I think the queen mother must be very reluctant."

Su Jie raised his head, looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty's words make the ministers do not know how to say it."

Ying Zheng said with his forehead: "When my mother and I were in Handan, my mother would raise some flowers and plants when she had nothing to do. After those flowers and plants that my mother cared for, after they withered, my mother would be very sad, let alone a flesh and blood Taifu, Heart disease is still medicine for the heart, it turns out that the Tai Tuo is the medicine for the queen's heart."

Su Jie's fingers, which were about to fall, froze in the air, and he slowly retracted them, saying: "My lord, it's the same for the empress dowager and the king."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Zheng'er knows what the Grand Tutor wants."

Yingzheng continued: "In the deep palace, beside Zheng'er, there are so many ministers, so many maids and guards, and you will feel a little lonely for a long time, let alone a woman like the queen mother. The widow has not heard about it for the past two months. Listening to the piano sound of the Taifu and the Queen Mother, I always think of the years in Handan. The widow said that I have been wrong all the time, which means that the widow has always ignored the feelings of the Queen Mother. What I always think of is the mother in Handan, who is strong. And miserable, leading me to flee for my life, being looked down upon by others, recalling the past, my mother has never been cared for by others in my life, but these days, I feel the joy of my mother from the heart."

Su Jie nodded and said: "When the king is filial, the people in the world will be filial. Although the queen mother suffered a lot in her early years, I think that she is a good woman and a good mother. In my heart, she is the best queen mother in the world." .”

Ying Zheng looked bright, and suddenly asked: "Will Zhao Qin visit his mother again in the future?"

Su Jie stared at Ying Zheng's cheek, and said: "Zhao Qin never left, just to do more things that are beneficial to Qin, after Qin sweeps the world, the world will be peaceful, isn't this also for protecting The King and Queen Mother?"

Ying Zheng's complexion also became a little complicated, and he said: "Protect Qin! The world has been peaceful, and I don't know how many years."

Su Jie said: "If Your Majesty is able to govern smoothly, it will take three to five years at the earliest, and seven or eight years at the slowest. It can be regarded as looking forward to it."

Yingzheng heard what Su Jie said about pro-government.

There was a little brilliance in his eyes, and Ying Zheng asked, "Is the Grand Tutor going to go back to the court directly?"

Su Jie nodded, and said: "All the countries are at Hangu Pass, Shangdang, and Jinyang's layout is almost ready. If we act at this time, we can wipe out the conspiracy of Lu Buwei and the other countries in one fell swoop. From then on, the king can take charge of the government in one fell swoop and sweep away nations."

Ying Zheng suddenly said with some resentment: "The Tai Tuo said that the alliance of the nations has already begun, but Zheng'er asked Lu Buwei several times in the court, and the prime minister said every time that there was no major battle on the front line, and the entire court was surrounded by Lu Buwei." In the drum, it can be seen that its influence has taken root in the ruling and opposition parties."

Su Jie replied: "Actually, Lu Buwei also fell into other people's treacherous schemes, but my lord and I just followed suit. Lu Buwei is already hanging on the high beams, so it's nothing to worry about. The current plan is how to kill and retreat the coalition forces."

Ying Zheng nodded and said: "At the beginning, when the Taifu rescued Zheng'er and his mother back to Handan, he said that the current national strength of Qin State is not an opponent of the alliance of other countries. At this moment, when countries come to attack, Zheng'er is real A little worried."

Su Jie said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the arrival of other countries has been postponed for a year and a half because of Qi, and our country, Qin, is not powerless to resist, and even if the coalition forces are forced to integrate, there must be gaps, and the enemy country is now , but thought that my Qin country was kept in the dark and didn't know it, and thought that it had taken the initiative, but in fact, the minister did this deliberately to let them already have a chance to win, and they had already laid a net of heaven and earth. defeat."

Yingzheng looked bright, and said: "This is the reason why the Taifu said that the six countries can be swept away in three to five years at least, and the other countries will be weakened by unity."

Su Jie nodded and said: "That's right, your majesty is intelligent, the so-called punching is not known, that's the case. Our country of Qin seems to be in the open, but in fact it is in the dark. Lu Buwei blocked the news of Hangu Pass, but why not generals in the pass?" The news is blocked."

Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully!

"What Zheng'er doesn't understand is why every time Cheng Jiao sent a letter, he mentioned that the enemy army didn't attack the city, but blocked their road."

Su Jie said: "It's just delaying time. Your Majesty, think about it carefully. Lu Buwei blocked their news, but he didn't know that the enemy army wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. At that time, if something unexpected happened, Cheng Jiao would definitely hate you, Your Majesty. Once the rebellion occurs, Qin will be in chaos."

Ying Zheng suddenly realized, and said, "So that's how it is!"

Su Jie said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already planned a countermeasure for your Majesty. At that time, even if Cheng Jiao rebelled, you will definitely not be blamed on your Majesty. On the contrary, since the enemy wants to delay time and block the news, We pretended not to know and let them procrastinate. The longer the delay, the better. These crimes will eventually be borne by Lu Buwei. If it is breached by our army, at that time, it will surely suffer the consequences.”

Ying Zheng nodded again and again.

If this plan succeeds, it will deceive the nations instead, and get rid of Lu Buwei in one fell swoop, becoming a dragon.

The entire dynasty will be centralized in the hands of King Qin unprecedentedly.

Ying Zheng was overjoyed, looked at the calm and composed Su Jie in front of him, and said, "I really want to see this day come soon."

Su Jie continued: "I estimate that the siege of Tunliu will last until the early spring of next year. Your Majesty, if you have any doubts on weekdays, just ask Lu Buwei, and he will conceal it in public."

Tun stay!

until after winter.

Heavy snow began to fill the sky. Unexpectedly, this time, the Dai army completely surrounded the village. When Cheng Jiao was looking forward to the news from Guanzhong day and night, the entire road was blocked by the Dai army.

"Another month."

Cheng Jiao's complexion was a little pale. From sending out the letter to today, there was no response at all. Looking at the big army camp in front of him, he knew that Dai Jun was not going to leave at all.

Countless tents left the village surrounded.

As for why they are not worried about staying to attack, it is naturally because of the food. The Qin army is already starving. From the very beginning, the food and grass that had been saved for two months were extended for three months. Now, looking at the sky, I knew that three months was not enough, and it would take at least two more months before I could see the heavy snow parting!

Moreover, there is not enough warm clothing in the city.

Really hopeless!

Ying He climbed the tower, looked at Cheng Jiao not far away, and immediately said: "My lord, hurry back to the mansion, it's windy here."

Cheng Jiao shook his head feebly, and said, "Uncle, how are the soldiers and people in the city doing?"

Ying He sighed and said: "The common people can't take care of it anymore. If the soldiers have nothing to eat, then it's really hopeless! Damn Daijun, you really want to go bankrupt."

Cheng Jiao said: "Uncle, let's distribute more dilute water! You can last for another month,"

Ying said, "Okay, I'll go to Ying and tell you the truth."

The two of them were just about to go downstairs when the horn of the Dai army sounded again, and the Qin army on the tower stood up feebly. At this time, even the strength to pull the bowstring was almost gone.

I saw three to 4000 people from the Dai army bustling around, and the rest were still warming up in the camp, not ready to attack the city.

Cheng Jiao saw it, and felt annoyed in his heart.

Three to 4000 people came to the tower, ran around, shot indiscriminately, and didn't know if they were right or not, and ran away after a few laps.
