After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"You sent someone to deliver the letter of distress for Bei Mo's lack of food and grass." Xiao Jinzhi said coldly.

"That's right." Huangfuling nodded slowly, "Although Tianyi's rear has been fully prepared since the war began, it is impossible to raise enough food and grass to be transported here in such a short period of time. And you want to use the existing It is even more impossible to wait for food and rescue when there is no food in the city and there is no food in the city."

"Despicable!" A general couldn't help but cursed loudly.

"A soldier never tires of deceit, so how can he be despicable?" Huangfuling looked at Xiao Jinzhi and said slowly, "Emperor Tianyi, you lose."

The three words you lost were like sharp thorns, which suddenly penetrated into the hearts of the people guarding the city wall.

Many people subconsciously looked at Xiao Jinzhi, who was standing on the city wall with a pair of eyes so deep that no one could see his inner emotions.

After a while, he spoke to Huangfuling.

"The Regent probably has no plans to attack the city now."

After all, in this case, a strong attack will only lose the soldiers in vain, and you can wait until everyone is weak before attacking.

"Of course not." Huangfuling shook his head, "Emperor Tianyi, I am waiting for the day when you surrender voluntarily and invite me to enter the city for the sake of the lives of the soldiers in this city. And I believe... that day should be very soon. It will be there soon.”

As Huangfu Ling said, he did not order an attack, but just asked the soldiers to besiege the city, and he quickly returned to his camp.

In Taizhou City, all the generals were worried and impatient.

"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of food in the city now. If we continue to consume it like this, it will not do us any good. General Yimo thinks it is better to fight with them directly while the physical strength of the soldiers has not been greatly affected!"

"What General Wang said makes sense. The last general also feels that the worst is possible. Anyway, our Tianyi soldiers will never beg for mercy like their Dan Yue!"

"Exactly! The general seconded the proposal!"

Several generals stared and spoke in rough voices, as if they wanted to rush out of the city with their swords and kill the Danyue people in the next moment.

Xiao Jinzhi did not speak immediately, but Qin Li frowned and said, "Generals, please be patient. Now that we are surrounded, even if we can rush out at this time, we will suffer serious losses of troops and generals, and the food and grass problem has not been solved." , even if we really succeed in breaking through, what happens next?”

"Qin Guards is right." Some of the generals agreed with Qin Li's words. "A hasty breakout at this time will only hurt both sides. And since Huangfuling dared to tell everything, he may not have thought about it. There is a possibility that we can force a breakout, and we may have already prepared measures to deal with it, just waiting for us to open the city gate and throw ourselves into the trap!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrender leaders who had been clamoring to break out of the encirclement calmed down, and each of them frowned, "Is it possible that we are really going to be trapped and die in this Taizhou city!"

"Not really." Xiao Jinzhi said softly, "Didn't Huangfu Mausoleum give us another way?"

Qin Li looked at his emperor with complicated eyes, "Your Majesty, do you mean...surrender?"

"No, Your Majesty!" A general immediately objected, "If we surrender, wouldn't we become prisoners of Danyue? You are the Nine-Five Supreme Being and your status is precious. You must not surrender to Danyue no matter what. !”

"That's right, even if we risk our lives, we will never let the emperor suffer such humiliation!" Someone said quickly.

Looking at the angry people, Xiao Jinzhi's face was rarely calm. After a moment, he spoke.

"You should retreat first. Defenses must be strengthened throughout the city. Although there is a high probability that Huangfuling Mausoleum will not send anyone to attack, we should not take it lightly. As for other things, I am considering it."

"emperor……"

"Back off." Xiao Jinzhi spoke again, frowning slightly, obviously not wanting to hear them continue talking.

Soon, several generals left, leaving only Qin Li.

"Your Majesty, do you really intend to surrender to Huangfuling Mausoleum?" Qin Li said in a serious tone.

"Now that the food and grass have been destroyed, if there is no other way, no matter whether I want it or not, I will naturally have no choice but to surrender. Is it possible that the lives of so many soldiers must be ignored."

"But..." Qin Li gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, after all, there are so many Danyue people in this city. I think every household should still have some food in store. If it doesn't work, why not..."

Xiao Jinzhi glanced sideways, his cold gaze causing Qin Li's unfinished words to get stuck in his throat and he could no longer say them out.

"Your Majesty, I understand that this proposal is too despicable, but there is really nothing we can do about this situation. Those people..." Qin Li lowered his head and gritted his teeth, "In the final analysis, they are Danyue after all. people."

"So what about the Danyue people, they are also innocent people." Xiao Jinzhi withdrew his gaze, "The reason why I sent troops to attack is because I don't want anything to happen to Beimo, and I don't want the war to be completely unable to end, causing the people to be in the flames of war all year round. "

Although these Danyue people were not Tianyi's people, they were still innocent lives after all, and he could not ignore their life and death.

"But when the city's defenders retreated, they didn't care about their people." Qin Li couldn't help but speak.

The defenders left these people behind when they retreated, presumably to paralyze them, so that they would believe that those people were really unable to resist, and retreated in a hurry without caring about the people.

But now, Danyue destroyed the food and besieged the city. Although it was to deal with them, if you think about it carefully, he didn't care about the people of this city.

Since Danyue himself didn't care about the death of these people, why couldn't they do this in such a desperate situation!

"Even if they rob the people in the city of food, how many days can it last?" Xiao Jinzhi frowned, "What's more, since they are going to cut off our food, there may not be much food left in the homes of the people in the city. .”

"Then are we really defeated like this?" Qin Li's heart seemed to be tightly grasped.

The emperor is an emperor. If he is really captured by Huangfu Mausoleum, he may never be able to return to Tianyi alive. Even if you can survive, you will still be humiliated.

Xiao Jinzhi was silent for a long time, and finally did not answer Qin Li's words. He just asked him to take stock of whether there was any food left besides the granary. If so, it could last for a few days at most.

At night, the city no longer had the joy and excitement of yesterday. Although the soldiers strictly guarded their posts, the panic in their hearts could not dissipate.

And in the night, a figure quietly descended from the shadow of the city wall, and then slowly entered the place where Danyue was stationed...
