I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

"Your Highness!! Our breakout team was completely wiped out!" Leng Ning reported in a deep voice.

Gu Dingbei paced back and forth, unable to find a breakthrough. For the past month, they had never slacked off in defending the city, and had been looking for opportunities to break through from the inland again and again. At least spread the news here.

If Northern Xinjiang could provide support again, at least they could defeat the internal thieves first, and they wouldn't be attacked from both sides! !

But time and time again, all those who tried to break out were killed and could not even return.

Within a limited time, both sides are competing with each other in terms of mentality and time!

The Zhenbei Army was trapped here, and it would definitely not be easy to wipe them all out. If they were to fight alone and be attacked from three sides, their death would be sooner or later.

If they can win without fighting, no one wants to suffer heavy losses. However, if the Zhenbei Army has no news for a long time, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Beijiang! If Beijiang comes to help again, it may fail!

Therefore, everyone is betting now, to trap and kill Gu Dingbei before Beijiang finds out there is something wrong here, the bet is on this time point!!

"Your Majesty! We don't have much food left in the city! We only have enough for one month. If we start to save food now, we may be able to hold out for another month and a half!"

Gu Dingbei pursed his lips. "One and a half months, maybe it's enough!! After such a long time without any news, Beijiang will definitely find out something is going on!! We can't break out, we just need to wait, defend ourselves, preserve our strength, and look for opportunities!!"

"Yes!" Leng Ning's expression was somewhat gloomy. "My Lord, do you think the princess has already discovered the abnormality here?"

Gu Dingbei narrowed his eyes, "The princess is smart, I believe she should be able to sense it!!"

Thinking of Shen Lianxin, Gu Dingbei felt a little warm in his heart! !

Leng Ning's mouth curled up slightly, believing that their princess would definitely find something wrong and bring people to rescue them. After all, from Wuxia Pass to Dingzhou Mountain Stronghold, Shen Lianxin was like a god descending from the sky, saving them from danger in times of crisis.

"Don't send any more people to break out yet. Let's hold on. When the time comes, I believe they will panic too!! Now it's a competition between them and Northern Frontier to see who will move first! We must conserve our strength! As long as we hold on long enough, the margin of error will naturally be greater."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The potatoes in the field have grown! They are growing well, and we will definitely have a good harvest in another month!" Jiang Shangru came to report happily! !

"Very good!!"

"I had someone dig up two potatoes and found that they had a good fruit set rate, but they were small. If they grow for another month, we will surely have a good harvest. At least we don't have to worry about food while being trapped here."

Gu Dingbei could understand Jiang Shangru's excitement. However, it was not a matter of food, but at this point, the enemy would not give them too much time to avoid changes. The decisive battle could start at any time.

Gu Dingbei didn't like the feeling of having to gamble everything. He had fought in battles where he was not sure of victory, and he had fought countless battles where he defeated the enemy with fewer troops and won a decisive victory. However, if he lost the bet, the city would be destroyed, and countless people would be humiliated to death.

He lost, once, and that was enough.

"Master Jiang, take people to harvest the potatoes tomorrow!!"

Jiang Shangru was surprised. The potatoes were growing so well that if they were harvested in a month, they would be a good harvest. Now they were still potato pods. If they were dug out now, they would probably yield half as much or even more.

"Harvest potatoes now? I'm afraid we'll lose half of the yield!! Your Majesty!" Jiang Shangru felt distressed.

Gu Dingbei waved his hands. Now was not the time to feel sad. If he didn't collect them now, the Qiang-Hu coalition and the wise king would attack and the city would not be able to be defended. All these potatoes would probably be given to the enemy.

"We may not have much time left. Let's collect it!" Gu Dingbei said firmly.

Jiang Shangru nodded without hesitation. He would definitely obey Gu Dingbei's decision.

"Okay!! I'll organize the people and start harvesting tomorrow!"

"I have people dig a secret room!! Time is short, there is probably only enough space for a hundred people!! When the enemy attacks, pick 50 strong men in the city to serve as the fire to enter the secret room, and I will select another 50 Zhenbei Army soldiers, one is to leave some seeds for the Zhenbei Army, and the other is that if they are discovered, they have enough fighting power and have a chance to escape!"

Jiang Shangru was moved, "Your Majesty is very thoughtful! If the city is breached, Your Majesty should enter the dark room first!!"

Gu Dingbei shook his head. He couldn't leave. Once the city was breached, he would have to die. If he disappeared, the Qiang-Hu coalition and the people in Prince Xian's mansion would be unable to sleep or eat. Even if they had to dig three feet into the ground, they would definitely want to find him alive or dead.

By then, not to mention a secret room, the entire Jiangcheng city would probably be turned upside down. No one would be able to escape.

"I must be their primary target. If I hide in the dark room, I'm afraid this dark room will be lost. There are so many people. If a hundred people are missing, they won't be able to find me. This is their only chance of survival. Send the potatoes into the dark room to keep enough food for them for three months. Then, we can find another opportunity."

Jiang Shangru nodded, "Okay!" and then turned and left.

Leng Ning clenched his fists. He had followed Gu Dingbei since he was a child and knew him too well. Gu Dingbei was strong and confident, always daring to fight and never thought about retreating before the battle began.

Leng Ning knew that this was because Gu Dingbei had a grudge against the closure of the county city, so he made such an arrangement.

He looked at Gu Dingbei with some heartache.

Gu Dingbei felt a little uncomfortable seeing Leng Ning staring at him like that, "What are you looking at? I'm just in case! I'm just more mature now and don't want to make the same mistake again!"

Leng Ning nodded, "I know that after becoming a prince, the prince has become more mature and stable, and he considers things more carefully."

Gu Dingbei's mouth twitched, he couldn't bear to see Leng Ning like this. He waved his hand, "Get lost!"

Leng Ning smiled and said, "Yes!"

Gu Dingbei was even more upset. "Don't you like to laugh? What are you laughing at?"

Northern Frontier, Zhenbei Palace!

"Fourth sister! I saw that the soil here is more suitable for growing rice and corn. I asked everyone to focus on rice and corn and plant tens of thousands of acres. To ensure a minimum, we also planted some potatoes and sweet potatoes to ensure a bumper harvest."

Shen Lai Fu chatted with Shen Lianxin while eating.

Shen Lianxin ate carelessly, taking bites at a time.

Seeing that Shen Lianxin didn't reply, Shen Laifu stretched out his hand in front of Shen Lianxin and waved it, "Fourth sister, fourth sister?"

Shen Lianxin came back to her senses, "Second brother, what's wrong? What did you say?"

No matter how dumb Shen Laifu was, he could tell that Shen Lianxin was worried about something! !

“I said the soil here is more suitable for growing rice and corn. I asked the people to plant rice and corn on a large scale, and to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes on a small scale, which have the best yields!!”

Shen Lianxin nodded, "Yes!! Second brother, you decide!! I believe in you, you are an expert in farming!!"
