Peerless buns

On a night in early summer, there is a cool breeze.

After coming down from the tower, Fu Tongxi was not in a hurry to go back, but walked slowly on the street as usual.

After the chaos just now, panicked people can be seen everywhere on the street.

After Fu Tongxi glanced at everything around him quietly, he turned around and walked towards the alley. Soon the white figure merged into the thick night, and several guards not far away silently followed behind him.

A gust of cool wind blew by, and his chaotic thoughts gradually became clearer. He needed to think carefully about every next step.This battle has just begun, and their advantage is that the metropolis is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.It's just that being surrounded by Zhao Qian at this moment means losing contact with the outside world, including the most important transportation of grain and grass.For a while it can survive like this, but if it lasts like this for a long time, they will starve to death in the city without waiting for Zhao Qian and others to attack the city.

With such a disparity in strength, how can we defeat them?How to solve the problem of food and grass?

Thinking of this, Fu Tongxi couldn't help laughing at herself, looked up, and found that she had unknowingly walked to the gate of the government office.

After returning to the house, he sat quietly at the table, the flickering candlelight reflected on his beautiful face, making his face paler and paler.After listening to Wang Xier's report, he only responded lightly, and then asked with a slight frown, "How long can the food and grass in the city last?"

"It can last for about half a month." Tsing Yi replied after thinking for a while.

As soon as the words fell, there was a faint sigh in the room.

Fu Tongxi said softly, "From tomorrow onwards, I will also have meals with the soldiers in the army."

"Young master can't."

"Sister, why not? It's only a dozen days, don't worry, we don't necessarily lose." Fu Tongxi paused, and then said, "Call the rest of the people together tomorrow. Get them out of town."

Wang Xi'er nodded in agreement and said, "They still have a chance of survival if they stay in the city. If they go out of the city, they will be decapitated within a few moments."

Tsing Yi frowned slightly, even if everything in the city was fine, how would the army outside the city deal with it?

"My lord, how should we fight next?"

After speaking, Wang Xier and Tsing Yi looked at Fu Tongxi at the same time.

Fu Tongxi glanced at them, stood up slowly, and then swayed towards the bed. At this time, he was extremely tired, and said in a weak tone, "We have a good time, a favorable location, and harmony of people. It's just a good location, let's make good use of this location first, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow. Xi'er, take advantage of Zhao Qian's retreat just now, open the city gate and let the soldiers bring back the rolling stones and trees that were thrown out. That's all. Right now, I'm really too sleepy, you go down first, and someone will wake me up in two hours."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, then closed the door lightly and backed out.

In the following days, Zhao sent people to attack at night several times before, but they were all beaten back and suffered heavy losses, and Fu Tongxi also lost hundreds of soldiers on his side.

Faced with Fu Tongxi's single defensive method, Zhao Qian was angry and helpless, and in the last anger, he stopped attacking, but still sent people to shout three times a day, and the content of the shouting was almost the same, nothing more than to persuade Fu Tong Xi return or something.

Fu Tongxi ignored him at all, and just let the soldiers guarding the city with their longbows stand by at any time.

Zhao Qian was still uncertain about the situation in the city, and he knew Fu Tongxi well, so he didn't dare to attack rashly. He could only wait until Fu Tongxi was at the end of his rope, and then attack again. , but they were waiting for the opportunity and food, so the two parties have been at such a stalemate, and no one has made any further moves.

On the seventh day of the siege, panic began to appear in the city, and the people began to be restless, clamoring to leave the city. After hearing this, Fu Tongxi didn't say anything, and only lightly ordered that if someone is not afraid of death, he doesn't mind the separation of the corpses. , there is no body left, then send him out of the city.

Since then, no one has made a noise out of the city.So far, this matter has also come to an end.

Fu Tongxi took a deep breath, recently her body became more and more bulky, and she began to sleep restlessly at night, often waking up in the middle of the night already covered in sweat, and her high protruding stomach made it much more difficult to move.

Even so, he still patrols the city every day, in order to reassure the common people and reassure the soldiers.

On this day, Fu Tongxi stood on the tower and looked into the distance quietly. He was trapped for ten days. Hua Xichen also lost contact with Hua Xichen. Old, there is nothing unusual, it's just that Hua Xichen's person can't be found.On the other side, Wang Zping bypassed several counties and stopped at the foot of Qiyun Mountain.The Lin family brothers were overtaken by the army led by Zhao Yong. After the first battle, they retreated to the north and are now staying near the northern capital.

Fu Tongxi was slightly surprised when he heard the news. Hua Xichen left without telling him the whole plan, so he was naturally not clear about all this. It was not until the Lin brothers retreated all the way to the north after successive defeats that he finally figured out something.

However, Duan Xiaobai was the one who surprised him the most. After Duan Xiaobai returned, it was as if nothing had happened, and he returned to the king of Wu who didn't care about world affairs.

This Duan Xiaobai came and went quickly, but what happened to make him like this?And when Hua Xichen met him that time, what happened between the two of them?

Of course, all this is unknown.

As the days passed, the grain and grass in the city were about to run out, and Fu Tongxi's brows became even tighter. If the grain and grass hadn't been delivered in these two days, he would be preparing to evacuate from the capital city.

Just when he was at a loss, he received a secret letter in the afternoon, saying that the grain and grass had been escorted fifty miles outside the city, but he had to pass through Zhao Qian's barracks before entering the city, so he sent someone to pick him up.

Fu Tongxi held the letter in his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "How long does it take to get here from Xueyu City?"

"Even if the horses don't stop, it will take about half a month to travel day and night." Wang Xi'er replied, but she was puzzled about what this had to do with food and grass?

Fu Tongxi turned her head, stared at Wang Xi'er, and asked softly, "Xi'er, are you willing to believe me?"

Hearing this, Wang Xi'er smiled slightly, then nodded without hesitation.

Fu Tongxi glanced at him, and said with a smile, "That's good, you immediately lead two hundred elite soldiers to meet outside the city. Remember to protect yourself and don't force yourself."

The two talked for a long time before Fu Tongxi breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to explain, so he once again told him to be careful.

Wang Xi'er frowned, and said, "Young master, don't worry, I believe not many people can kill me."

Fu Tongxi smiled slightly and said, "Well, let's go."

After Wang Xi'er stepped back, Fu Tongxi gently tore up the letter in his hand, then got up and went back to the house.
