"Lord Jun, I heard on the way here that the Japanese pirates have attacked so many cities, burning, killing and looting everywhere. Why do you only guard Jikang and not let you send troops? I heard that the soldiers have opinions." Nianhua boring Sit down on a cushion.The low table in front of him was covered with some wine and dishes, the big bowl of wine and the big piece of meat looked delicious.But now Nianhua has no appetite at all, so he poked it twice with his chopsticks and then put it down.

"War is not a child's play. You only want to save Cheng Zihan, but I want to win the entire battlefield." Jun Mingfang said, "This time, a few rebels and Japanese pirates colluded, not only for the property and women, but also for my Great Xiao land. If I don't have a complete preparation to wipe them all out, I will definitely not use troops impulsively." Jun Mingfang said, sighing slightly: "Actually, I still hope that Jicheng can last a little longer, so that my elites from all walks of life will have spare energy Take their place one by one."

Nianhua puffed up her cheeks slightly, a little displeased, but she had nothing to say.It cannot be said that Jun Mingfang's plan is right or wrong. Whether it is more beneficial to attack in one fell swoop or to deploy slowly, the battlefield situation changes rapidly, and no one dares to say that he will win until the last moment.But he is a general, this is his strategy, he has no right to say whether it is right or wrong.

"Ji City has been expropriated by Yuan Mutian for so many years, and it has long been exhausted. How long do you expect them to last?" Nian Hua snorted twice, "But there is nothing in the city, why are those pirates attacking it? Woolen cloth?"

Jun Mingfang ate in silence and stopped answering.

Nian Hua thought for a while, and when he was about to speak, a soldier suddenly reported that the three-way army dispatched from other places had arrived outside the city, and several generals were begging to see him outside the mansion.

Jun Mingfang put down his chopsticks, took off his battle clothes from the shelf, and shouted an order: "Quickly invite some generals to the hall." He hurriedly walked out the door.

Nianhua opened his mouth, let out a breath of abandonment, turned a bamboo chopstick around a few times, and rested his chin in a daze.

The army could not attack, so he could only go to Jicheng alone.Nianhua considered that with his own ability, it shouldn't be a problem to rescue Zihan.

The only problem is that Cheng Zihan is stubborn, so I'm afraid he won't go with him.No, he originally wanted to live and die with his Jicheng people, so he definitely wouldn't go with him.Even if it was himself, he might not be able to leave after entering the city and seeing those poor old and weak women and Confucians.

Is this the benevolence of a woman, or the style of a general?No matter what kind he is, Nianhua knows that once he enters Jicheng, everything will no longer be between him and Cheng Zihan.

Jicheng is now headed by Cheng Zihan, and according to Zihan's dependence on him, no matter whether he has the ability or not, he will take over the burden of the whole Jicheng and carry it himself.Nianhua didn't dare to be arrogant, he dared to say that he could turn the clouds and rain with one hand, turn the world around with one person, and save the entire city from danger.In fact, he is good at single training, but he has no experience in siege warfare.

But since there is only one step to go forward, it is useless to think too much.

After thinking back and forth, Nianhua put all her worries behind her.

It is one thing to be able to take care of the people of an entire city, but it is a fact that you have to take office even if you want to drive ducks to the shelves.It is true that this trip is dangerous, but there is only one way to go on this trip.When there is no second choice, instead, there is less needless looking forward and backward, and I feel very comfortable for a moment.

Nian Hua swept away all the food on the table.He thought about it and decided to wait for Jun Mingfang to come back.Nianhua is not afraid that he will stop him, he has a feeling that Jun Mingfang really doesn't like staying with his emperor, and maybe the farther he goes, the happier he will be.

On the contrary, he couldn't just break in with a bare-handed commander.He needs food, food, and only Jun Mingfang can give him these.

The grain and grass in Jicheng had run out long ago, and he didn't know what the city was like now, what he brought was better than nothing.It is impossible for everyone to eat enough. At least they have the strength to stand up and fight, and they can last for a few more days.

After waiting in the room for half an hour, Nian Hua couldn't sit still.He didn't have the temper to spend another day here, so he had to leave today.Although Jicheng is guarding the city gate and has been in a stalemate with the pirates outside the city until now, something may happen every moment.Nianhua couldn't feel at ease at all, especially in such a place so close to Dejicheng and Zihan.

Nianhua ran out and walked around the government office for a few times, wondering if Jun Mingfang had ordered it specially, everyone treated him as if he was airy, and pretended not to see it when they saw it.After finally finding Jun Mingfang's personal attendant, he asked him when Jun Mingfang would be back, but he only got a neutral answer.

"Our general is still discussing matters, it is not convenient to see you now."

"Then when can he discuss it? I have something urgent to discuss with the general." Nianhua grabbed the little attendant who was about to leave, "Don't leave, we haven't finished talking yet."

The attendant gave him a slightly surprised look, then paused and said, "Young Master Nian, if you have something urgent, it's the same if you tell me. I can pass it on for you. I'm afraid the general will be busy until night."

Nianhua told him his request for food, but saw the little attendant frowned slightly, and said without thinking: "You useless young man, even if the general agrees, there are probably no soldiers who are willing to go with you with food. "

"Why do you say that?!" Nian Hua looked at the absent-minded little attendant, and felt that he was just perfunctory himself, and felt a little aggrieved in his heart, "Aren't you slandering people here who are greedy for life and afraid of death? I don’t need people, I just want to borrow some grain and grass. Jikang City has enough grain and grass, and there are grain stations every ten miles on the road to the west of the major grain-producing counties. Giving me two carts is only a drop in the bucket, but it can feed thousands of people in Jicheng. Last name, can’t this work?!”

The attendant snorted softly and said, "The outside of Ji City was surrounded by rebels like iron barrels. Mr. Nian wanted to transport food and grass in, but only the soldiers brought food and grass to break through. Could it be that Mr. Nian expects the two horses to be in front of the rebels?" Can't I pull you in? But because of the great achievements that His Royal Highness Ji Wang has piled up with the lives of my Xiao Jun soldiers, I am afraid that no one is willing to risk such a narrow escape to do this for Young Master Nian. The soldiers are indeed Anxious to go out to battle, seeing death as home, but these are just for killing thieves, and have nothing to do with saving the relief city."

As soon as Nianhua gritted his teeth, the attendant was straightforward enough, but it was not good enough to turn over old scores and make internal squabbles when they were fighting the enemy together.This is clearly intended to anger him and make things difficult for him. Could it be that the military orders are so under the mountain, how can the officers and soldiers say "no"?But he didn't want to bring more people there, for him it would just add to the burden.

Nianhua suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "I don't want people, I just want to borrow a few carts of food and grass. After all, they are all the people of the Great Xiao, and General Jun will not even have this kind of compassion. It's fine if you don't pass on my message, I don't beg you, I'll go see him myself!"

After Nianhua finished speaking, he turned his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he had already floated to the other side of the yard.

"Several generals are discussing important matters in the army. If you dare to barge in, you can only be dealt with by military law!" The servant's angry voice came from behind, and Nianhua bird didn't even like a bird, and ran to the hall.

Several doors in the hall were tightly closed, and a group of soldiers lined up outside the door for battle.Nianhua crouched behind the partition wall and looked towards the hall from behind the hollow carved window.He thought for a while, and was about to go out when he was suddenly grabbed by a person from behind.

Nianhua counterattacked reflexively, only to hear a muffled grunt in his ear.

"Well... Nianhua, when did you become so strong?"

Nian Hua heard the voice familiar, looked back, and lowered his voice in surprise: "Chen Zheng! You—" After thinking about it, Nian Hua narrowed his eyes and approached, "What are you doing sneaking behind me?"

Chen Zheng leaned against the wall and rubbed his chest, and said helplessly, "You are the sneaky one, right? Is this a place where you can break free?"

Nianhua looked into the solemn courtyard again, then turned around and leaned against Chen Zheng, telling him his troubles helplessly.

Chen Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, saying: "Military punishment is not just for fun, don't try your best, come with me."
