As one of the best-informed places in Bianliang City, the news that the Wu Dynasty army took advantage of Zongwang's all-out siege to launch a sneak attack on Mutuo Ridge, successfully burning the Jurchen army's supplies, had already spread in Fanlou in the early morning. Search: \(¨Perfect¨Book¨God¨Station¨) to read high-quality literature for free.

Wearing embroidered shoes and throwing on clothes, she got out of bed. First of all, the news was told to her by the maids in the building, and then Li Yun rushed over.

Even though she didn't dare to help at the city wall, Mama Li was still a woman of great integrity. She didn't stop Shishi from going there often during this period. When she heard the good news, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She called the people in the building to hang lanterns and decorations. When Shishi woke up, she immediately came to report the news.

In any case, it all sounded like a myth...

General Qin led 4,000 elite Wu Dynasty soldiers, taking advantage of the Jurchens' lax defense, and suddenly attacked the Mutuo Ridge camp, which was still guarded by tens of thousands of people. They defeated Shuliesu, burned most of the Jurchens' supplies, and retreated unscathed.

Judging from the news itself, such an attack can be described as a thunderous blow to the Jurchens, clean and neat, and inspiring. However, when it reached Shishi's ears, it was difficult to feel the truth.

She had already witnessed the Jurchens' strength and ferocity at the city wall. Last night, when those Jurchen soldiers rushed into the city, although they were eventually killed by the Wu Dynasty soldiers who arrived and the city gate was saved, the Jurchens' combat power was indeed terrifying. In order to kill these people, the other side paid the price of several times their lives. Even the nearby wounded barracks were messed up by the other side. Some of the wounded rose up to resist, but what could they do? They were still killed by those Jurchen soldiers.

It was precisely because the other side's resistance had been so strong, and those who died were so selfless, that Shishi could more and more understand how powerful the Jurchens' combat power really was. What's more, before that, they had defeated more than 300,000 King-Protecting troops in the wilderness outside Bianliang City.

Four thousand people ambushed tens of thousands of people, and still won? Burned the supplies? How is that possible...

Because of such intuition and reason, even though Li Yun had already said it with certainty, and everyone else in the building believed it and was willingly immersed in joy, Shishi still retained a sense of sobriety in her heart.

After all, she had seen too many messy things in this position. Falsifying, reporting false achievements, or deceiving everyone for various reasons were not new things. The pressure brought by the Jurchens in front of her was so great. If someone deliberately created fake good news to cheer people up, it was not something that could not be imagined.

While maintaining a joyful appearance amidst the happy emotions of everyone in Fanlou, there were even people knocking gongs and drums in the streets outside because of excitement. Before long, people also came to Fanlou, some to celebrate, and some to find her—because they knew of Shishi's concern for this matter, after receiving the news, some people came to celebrate with her, including friends like He Zhong and Chen Sifeng, who came to report the good news.

The heavy snow outside had stopped, and this morning had just begun. It seemed that the entire Bianliang City was immersed in the joy brought by this small victory. Shishi listened to this and that news, but the joy in her heart gradually disappeared, and only fatigue surged up again: such large-scale publicity was precisely because the big shots in the court couldn't wait to use this news to make a fuss and boost morale. In the past, she often danced with long sleeves and acted in time, but after experiencing so much killing and fear, if she and these people were still celebrating for fake news, even if it was encouraging news, she only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

This emotion continued until Su Wenfang came to Fanlou.

In these days, Su Wenfang cooperated with the Prime Minister's Office to get the wealthy families in the city to send out their servants and guards to defend the city. In this regard, Zhuji naturally had connections, but Fanlou had more, so both sides had a lot of contact. Su Wenfang came to Li Yun to discuss how to make good use of this good news. Shishi heard that he was coming, apologized to everyone in her courtyard, came to Mama Li's side, intercepted Su Wenfang who had just finished talking, and then asked him about the truth of the matter.

"...About the good news, is it true or false? Wenfang, you must not hide it from me."

In the past few years of working with Ning Yi, Su Wenfang has grown rapidly in many tests and has become a fairly reliable man to the outside world. But in reality, he is younger than Ning Yi. Compared with Shishi, who has been in brothels for so many years, he is still a little immature. Although the two have had some interactions, he still feels a little nervous when Shishi asks him solemnly with her hands clasped together. But since the truth is there, it is not difficult to answer: "Of course it's true."

"Wenfang, don't lie to me. The Jurchens are so powerful. Let alone four thousand people ambushing ten thousand people, even tens of thousands of people may not be able to take advantage. I know that this matter is in charge of the Right Prime Minister's Office. For the sake of publicity and boosting morale, even if it is fake, I will definitely do my best to treat it as real. But...but this time, I really don't want to be kept in the dark. Even if there is a one percent chance that it is true, is there really a successful raid outside the city?"

Su Wenfang looked at her, and then, slightly looked around on both sides. The difficulty on his face was not because he was lying. In fact, some things were also weighing on his mind: "I'll tell you, but this...you can't tell anyone."

"Okay." Shishi nodded.

"General Qin and my brother-in-law are both there." Su Wenfang was a little proud, "Since the defeat of the Wurei Camp, my brother-in-law has been promoting these things. He continues to clear the fields under the Jurchens' noses, and at the same time, he is collecting the defeated soldiers and training them. Now, in this Bianliang City, I'm afraid you can't find anyone or any food. That's why he and General Qin launched a thunderous attack to cut off the Jurchens' retreat. This time, the Second Young Master and my brother-in-law led the team together. If I say this, Miss Shishi, do you believe it?"

"...Liheng is also there?"

"My brother-in-law was seriously injured on the night of the Wurei Camp's defeat." Su Wenfang said, "But even so, he has never stopped clearing the fields. Even the people in the Prime Minister's Office did not expect that this matter could really work. Until the good news came last night, everyone in the Prime Minister's Office was shocked. Duke Nian, Mr. Ji, Master Jueming, and the others were so excited that they didn't sleep well. The camp raid is nothing. The Jurchens' supplies may have been saved by two or three tenths. The key point is that my brother-in-law has been laying out this matter bit by bit from beginning to end. Now, there is really no one and no food around Bianliang. If they run out of food, they will really be suffocated."

He said, "I have been working with my brother-in-law for so long, whether it is Liangshan, disaster relief, or dealing with those martial arts people, which time is not like this? When my brother-in-law really takes action, how can they stop him? Although this time it is the Jurchens, when my brother-in-law takes action, they will also feel the pain. More than 4,000 people retreated unscathed. This is just the beginning. It's just that he doesn't have many people under his command, so it may be difficult. But my brother-in-law is not afraid. No matter how difficult it is, it's just risking his life. It's just that my brother-in-law originally didn't have a big reputation, so it's not suitable for publicity, so he can't tell anyone."

Su Wenfang slightly raised his chin, quite proud. As a member of the Su family, the most exciting moment for him was when he received the news, and the high-level staff members of the Prime Minister's Office said: "Liheng is a good strategist." "Liheng is so ruthless." In just a few months, he set up a situation under almost impossible conditions, and then launched a fierce attack, like a panther lurking in the dark. He will not take action unless he has to, and when he does, he will make the enemy feel heartbroken. How can he not feel proud?

However, under the current circumstances, the entire credit naturally belongs to Qin Shaoqian, and the public opinion propaganda also requires the information to be concentrated. They can't spread the details randomly. Su Wenfang feels proud, but has nowhere to say it. Being able to tell Shishi at this time and show off a bit also makes him feel much more comfortable.

After he finished speaking, a smile bloomed on Shishi's face: "Haha." She spun around, her feet danced, and she jumped out several circles excitedly. She has a graceful figure and light steps. The scene of her joy at this time is extremely beautiful. Su Wenfang looked at her with a blushing face. Before he could react, Shishi jumped back, grabbed his left arm, and tilted her head in front of him: "Tell me again, don't lie to me!"

Su Wenfang's face turned red, a little shy, a little angry, and then his face turned red: "Miss Shishi, I, Su Wenfang, would never brag about my brother-in-law in front of you! My brother-in-law is working hard outside, with nine deaths and one life. In this way, who can cut a knife on the front of the Jurchens! The Jurchen generals stationed at Mutuo Ridge are Wanyan Shamu and Shuliesu, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers. Except for my brother-in-law..."

He wanted to say that except for Ning Yi, who could defeat them, but then he felt that he was getting off topic and bragging too much, so his face turned even redder. The questioning look on Shishi's face also faded, and she let go of his hand: "If you say that, I already believe it. Liheng, he...is he not injured?"

"I don't know." Su Wenfang shook his head, "There was no mention in the news that came, but I think, no mention is good news."

Shishi smiled and nodded, and after a moment, she said, "He is in a dangerous place, I hope he is safe and sound."

Su Wenfang pursed his lips, and after a while, he also said, "Miss Shishi, after hearing about this, do you like my brother-in-law even more?"

In the past, Shishi had contact with Ning Yi, but it couldn't be said that there was any explicit ambiguity. After all, Shishi was a courtesan, a woman from a brothel, and it was common to have ambiguity with anyone. Even if Su Wenfang and others discussed whether she liked Ning Yi, they only used Ning Yi's ability, status, and power as a basis for measurement, and joked about it. No one would say it formally. He said this at this time because Su Wenfang was a little resentful and his mood had not calmed down. Shishi smiled generously: "Yes, I like him...even more, even more, even more."

Su Wenfang punched the air, quite unhappy, and said: "Then Miss Shishi is going to marry my brother-in-law as a concubine?" After asking, he regretted it a little. It was originally a teasing remark, but it might have gone a little too far. In fact, he has been dealing with people for so many years, and his social skills have been quite mature, but at this time, he is still a little unable to grasp it in front of Shishi.

Shishi didn't care, she just smiled: "If Liheng does such a thing, as long as people know it, all the sisters in the building will can't help but want to give her their bodies. If I can be a concubine, it is just Shishi's honor."

"Uh, I said a little too much..." Su Wenfang cupped his hands and bowed to apologize.

Shishi shook her head and gave a slight blessing with a smile: "I am really happy to know about this. The Jurchens are powerful. Before, I only worried that this Bianliang City might not be able to be defended. Now that I know that there are still people fighting outside, I have some hope in my heart. I know that Wenfang is also running around for this matter. I will go to the city wall to help later and won't delay you. Liheng is outside the city. If I can meet him at this time, I have thousands of words I want to say to him, but thinking about it now, only by going to a place related to this war can I contribute a little bit of strength. As for the love between men and women, what is it worth in the face of this matter."

Su Wenfang was slightly stunned, and then cupped his hands: "Uh...Miss Shishi, do what you can and take care of yourself." He felt that he could not dissuade her on this matter, and then added, "My brother-in-law values ​​relationships. He used to say that everything he does is for the people around him. Miss Shishi and my brother-in-law have a close friendship. My words may be selfish, but...if my brother-in-law returns victoriously and does not see Miss Shishi, he will definitely be sad. If it is only for this matter, I also hope that Miss Shishi takes care of her health. Do not...be killed on the battlefield."

Shishi was silent for a moment, and then, with a smile on her face, "Then I...um, I will try my best to take care of myself..."

Su Wenfang is Su Tan'er's younger brother. In theory, he should be on Su Tan'er's side, and should be alienated from women who have ambiguity with Ning Yi. However, he is not sure whether Ning Yi and Shishi have ambiguity, but only said "If you have feelings, I hope you are still alive when my brother-in-law comes back, don't make him sad" for possible reasons. This is out of respect and love for Ning Yi. As for Shishi, regardless of whether she has feelings for Ning Yi, Ning Yi has not revealed too many transgressions in the past. At this time, the meaning of the answer is quite complicated.

Just as she said, in the face of war, what is the love between men and women worth?

Walking out of the warm pavilion where she talked to Su Wenfang, through the long corridor, the courtyard was covered with white snow inside and out. She dragged her long skirt, and her steps were still fast at first. When she reached a corner where there was no one, she gradually stopped, looked up, took a long breath, and smiled on her face: It's so good to be sure of this.

In a corner of the courtyard, beside the lonely stone bench and stone table, the plum blossoms on a tree were blooming, and sparse red flowers bloomed proudly in the snow.

Shishi returned to her courtyard, and some people were still waiting for her here. She apologized and prepared to go in to change clothes. Everyone tried to stop her, saying that women like her should not go to the dangerous battlefield. Shishi just politely perfunctorily said a few words to them. When she came out in clothes that were convenient for action, people like He Zhong and others were still there. Most of them were people who had a deep friendship with Shishi in the past. Yu Hezhong said: The battlefield is ruthless. We are all worried about you. We also know that Bianliang City has reached an unsolvable crisis. We also want to go to the battlefield, but on the one hand, we have official positions and cannot leave, and on the other hand, we hate that we have no power to restrain a chicken, and there are still wives, children, and parents in the family...

In fact, it is true that Yu Hezhong has an official position, but his official position will not participate in the war this time, and it is not very suitable for logistics. Moreover, there are still wives, children, and parents in the family, and they may not be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield...and so on, Shishi knows all this. She used to understand people's weaknesses best, whether it was vanity, pride, greed, lust...she could understand them all, and she didn't look down on such people at all. Yu Hezhong and others originally had no chance to interact with her, this courtesan, often, because they couldn't afford it and their status was not high enough, but Shishi treated them as good friends and often invited them to play, getting to know some people with high status...

She felt that it was normal for people to have weaknesses in their hearts, and it was the same for herself. She should not make any accusations. Similar to going to the battlefield to help, she would just persuade others and never make any strong demands, just because she felt that life was her own, and she was willing to put it in a dangerous place, but she should never force others to do so. But only at this moment did she find Yu Hezhong and others annoying, and she really wanted to shout something out loud.

But she didn't do this after all. After saying goodbye to everyone with a smile, she still didn't bring her maid, but just called the coachman in the building to take her to the city wall. On the way in the carriage, she forgot about the people who came this morning, and her mind was full of Ning Yi outside the city. He made the Jurchens suffer a loss. The Jurchens would not let him go, would they? What would happen next? She thought of the Jurchens who broke in last night, and of the people who died in front of her. The knife cut into the body, cut off limbs, opened the stomach, cut off the head, blood flowed, the bloody smell filled everything, and the fire burned the injured and rolled around, making a heartbreaking scream that would never be forgotten in a lifetime... Thinking of this, she felt that she had no strength and wanted the carriage to turn back. In that place, she might die too. As long as the Jurchens rushed in a few more times, or they broke the city, and she was nearby, she couldn't escape at all. And if the Jurchens entered the city, if she was caught, it might be difficult to die...

It's not that she's not afraid...

So she chose the hardest and sharpest hairpin, held it in her hand, and then put it in her hair again.

When she was weak, she thought: If I die, will Liheng really be sad for me when he comes back? He has never revealed his thoughts in this regard. Does he like me? Do I like him?

But anyway, she thought: If Liheng really has thoughts about her, even if it is just for the sake of her reputation as a courtesan or her body, she probably wouldn't refuse. That's just...it doesn't matter, does it.

If she dies...

Such thoughts made her indulge in it, but no matter what, the defensive area near the city wall soon arrived. She got out of the carriage, and the Jurchens had already begun to attack the city.

Huge stones constantly shook the city wall, arrows whistled, blood filled the air, shouts, hysterical roars, and the tragic sound of life annihilation. The surrounding crowd was running, and she was knocked down by a team of people rushing towards the city wall. Her body fell forward, and one hand supported her on the gravel, wiping out blood. She got up, took out a piece of cloth and ran while wiping her hand. She wrapped her hair in that piece of cloth and went in the direction of the wounded barracks.

Outside and inside the huge wall not far away, countless people surged upward, being submerged and devoured in the huge killing field. The seriously injured looked up at the sky in the pool of blood. Around them were all shadows of fighting.

——The line of death.

******************

"...The Jurchens continue to attack the city."

The scout passed the news. Beside the snow, Ning Yi was brushing his teeth with a self-made toothbrush mixed with salty powder. After spitting out the foam, he touched his white teeth with his fingers and grinned at the scout.

"You have to protect your teeth," he said.

The Haidongqing falcon was flying in the sky.

When Hong Ti came over, she saw him sitting on a rock on the edge of the camp, looking at the vast snow sea in front of him. She walked over and sat next to him, holding his hand.

"Are you worried about Bianliang?"

"I'm worried about everything."

"You said worrying is useless."

"But I can't help it," Ning Yi smiled and put his arm around her shoulder.

In the camp in the ruins of the town, they had just fallen asleep in the early morning. At this time, the civilians who woke up were eating the distributed food and looking at the figures of the soldiers standing in rows not far away.

A large number of scouts had been sent out, and people had been arranged to be responsible for defense. Half of the remaining uninjured soldiers had entered a state of training, mostly people from Mount Lüliang. They were just standing upright in the snow, row after row, column after column, everyone maintaining the same posture, standing proudly and motionless.

Monotonous and boring training can temper the will.

Qin Shaoqian was also paying attention to the news from Bianliang City, but soon after, he was also attracted by these soldiers standing for training. At this time, there were also some officers in this team who were originally his subordinates, and they also led elite soldiers, feeling slightly puzzled.

"How long will they stand? The Jurchens may come at any time. If they keep standing and can't move, what if they get frostbite?"

"Frostbite?" Someone went to ask Ning Yi, and Ning Yi shook his head, "Don't worry about it."

The real king of soldiers can stand in a military posture for several days without moving. Now that the Jurchens may attack at any time, extreme physical training is not easy to carry out, so they have to exercise their will. After all, the scouts are placed far away. If the Jurchens really come, everyone can relax and recover their combat power. As for frostbite...the army used by Ning Yi as a standard, in order to sneak attack on the enemy, the soldiers in an entire position were frozen to death in the ice and snow and still maintained their ambush posture. Compared to this standard, frostbite is not considered.

Of course, such an army cannot be created by a simple military posture. What is needed is repeated battles, repeated tempering, and repeated crossing of life and death. If there is really such an army now, let alone frostbite, the Jurchens and Mongolians don't need to be considered.

Now, we can only take it slowly.

Due to Ning Yi's speech yesterday, throughout this day, there was no manic atmosphere after the victory in the camp. What was maintained was a bloodthirsty silence and a suppressed desire to fight someone at any time. In the afternoon, everyone was allowed to move around for a while. Ning Yi had already informed them of the battle that was taking place in Bianliang at the moment. In the evening, everyone was arranged into groups to discuss the current situation.

For these soldiers, they didn't understand much. Most of what they could say was words like rushing over to fight him. A small number of people could say the idea of ​​eating one side first and then eating the other side. Even though most of them were unreliable, Ning Yi didn't mind. He just wanted to keep this tradition.

In the war at this time, any bottom-level soldiers had no right to know about the war. Even if they encountered the enemy, engaged the enemy, and fought in the battlefield, they were usually only able to see the figures of dozens or hundreds of people around them, or see the commander's flag in the distance. This led to the fact that once the battle situation collapsed, or the commander's flag fell, everyone only knew how to follow the people around them to run, and people further away only knew how to follow them to run. And the so-called military law team could only kill the soldiers in the last row. The avalanche effect was often caused by this reason. No one knew the situation of the entire battlefield.

When the wind changes, people's hearts are like grass, and they can only follow and run.

This situation continued throughout the entire ancient war history. In modern times, most of the armies were like this. At that time, only the Rabbit's army was able to fight independently in small groups even when the entire formation was broken up and divided, and even when they lost all high-level contact and orders. They beat the enemies who surrounded and divided them so badly that they couldn't even tell who was being surrounded.

Later, during the Korean War, the American Eagle was surprised to find that the Rabbit army's combat plan, from top to bottom, almost every grassroots soldier could know it—they simply had a tradition of participating in the discussion of the combat plan. This was extremely strange, but it guaranteed one thing, that is: even if they lost contact, every soldier still knew what they were going to do and why they were doing it. Even if the battlefield was chaotic, they would still spontaneously correct it because they knew the purpose.

The so-called subjective initiative is nothing more than this.

Of course, to do such a thing, the requirements for the army are also extremely comprehensive. First of all, loyalty and whether intelligence will be leaked are the most important considerations. A strong army must not be extreme, but must be comprehensive.

However, in front of us, things can be done to some extent...

At least in yesterday's battle, when smoke suddenly rose in the Jurchens' camp, the combat power of the army attacking on the front was able to suddenly expand, which was precisely because of this.

On this day, the town passed in quiet training. More than ten miles away in Bianliang City, Zongwang's offensive against the city wall did not stop. However, the people inside the city wall resisted the attack wave after wave in an almost desperate posture. Even though blood flowed into rivers and casualties were heavy, this posture of defense became even more determined.

Zongwang was a little surprised.

When attacking the Liao Kingdom, they had also encountered powerful teams, such as Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi. These were all strong generals, and they all had elite soldiers. They had made tenacious resistance and had used their superior forces to make their side suffer the bitter fruit of defeat. But the situation in front of them was different.

The Wu Dynasty people were weak, greedy for life and afraid of death, and the soldiers' combat power was low. However, at this moment, they were filling it with human lives...

The Wu Dynasty did have some fearless and foolish Confucian students, but after all, they were in the minority. How did they achieve this scene in front of them...

And how long can they do it?

He suddenly became even a little curious.

While attacking the city and having these doubts, he was also paying attention to another aspect of the matter.

What exactly did the army that attacked Mutuo Ridge plan to do after waiting a dozen miles away?

Compared to Bianliang City, which could only defend at the moment, the appearance of this mysterious Wu Dynasty army gave him a slight sense of oppression.

After the attack on Mutuo Ridge, he had strengthened the defense of the camp outside Bianliang City to prevent the possibility of being attacked. However, if the other side suddenly killed him regardless of death while attacking the city, forcing him to launch a two-way battle, it was still possible.

However, even if he attacked the city so fiercely, the other side, after completing the sneak attack, pulled away from Mutuo Ridge, but did not come to his side, nor did he return to the army to which he might have belonged. Instead, he stopped at the triangular point of Bianliang and Mutuo Ridge. Due to its existence and deterrence, the Jurchens would not be able to send troops out to find food for the time being. Even the communication between Bianliang and Mutuo Ridge camps would have to become more cautious.

Whether the other party did not want him to know their specific whereabouts, or was waiting for reinforcements to arrive to break the siege of Bianliang, or was weaving an ambush near there—in any case, the appearance of a fly always made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"What is Guo Yaoshi doing?" Zongwang wanted to continue to urge him, but before the order was issued, the scout had already sent intelligence.

"At noon today, General Guo led the Ever Victorious Army in a battle with the Wu Dynasty Western Army at Chengpu Ferry. The Western Army was defeated. General Guo judged that Zhong Shizhong had taken the initiative to retreat, pretending to be defeated, and was actually an empty city plan. He has led the cavalry to outflank and pursue."

The Ever Victorious Army fought against the Western Army. The Western Army did not take the initiative to retreat, but pretended to be defeated, actually to confuse Guo Yaoshi and prevent him from pursuing. However, Guo Yaoshi was also a veteran of many battles. Whether it was a real defeat or a feigned defeat, after determining that the other party had no ability to ambush and counterattack, he directly killed them. But Zongwang did not care about these battles.

"Pass the order, I don't care how he is dealing with the Western Army, let him take care of the middle game first!" His hand waved on the map in front of him, "Let him eat these four thousand people for me!"

After receiving the order, the scout quickly left.

In the camp in the ruins of the town, bonfires were burning, making a slight sound. In the room, Ning Yi and others also received the news.

"Zhong Shizhong is unwilling to fight Guo Yaoshi head-on. Although I thought about it a long time ago, it is still a bit of a pity."

"It's human nature. The Ever Victorious Army has more than 36,000 people, all of whom are elites who can deal with Zongwang. Zhong Shizhong has only 24,000 under his command. If they fight, both victory and defeat will be tragic, and the siege will not be lifted. Zhong Shidao is here, and I'm afraid it's the same approach," Qin Shaoqian sighed.

"I have one thing I don't understand," Hong Ti asked, "If you don't want to fight, why not take the initiative to retreat, but pretend to be defeated and retreat? Now that the other party has seen through it, he also has casualties, right?"

"I think... the Western Army has some reputation after all. Try to see if the other party's fighting spirit is firm. On the other hand, this time it is a feigned defeat. If the other party sees through it, next time it may be a real lure to the enemy. The other party has a thinking inertia and will fall for the trick. It should also be because Zhong Shizhong has excellent command of the army that he dares to do this... Well, I can only think of these." Ning Yi tilted his head, "However, next, he may turn around and eat us."

In his hand, there are only more than 4,000 who can really fight. Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian originally expected that the Western Army might be able to kill some of the other party's army,

Even painstakingly released the news that the Western Army was going to break the Yellow River, so Guo Yaoshi killed over there, but Zhong Shizhong had no intention of fighting—although normal, it was somewhat disappointing.

If Zhong Shizhong knew about this, I don't know what kind of temper he would have. But at this time, there are so few chips that they can use, and they have no choice.

Han Jing came over from the side: "Is it possible to transfer the more than 1,000 people who were rescued to other places? We also pretend to transfer, and let these people attract their attention first?"

North of Bianliang, more than 300,000 troops have been defeated in the past few months. At this time, there are still several troops reorganizing their forces. But those who couldn't fight at that time will be even more hopeless at this time.

Ning Yi shook his head: "They are originally soft persimmons, which will break with a poke. It's better to leave them and they still have some sense of existence. As for these thousand people..."

He paused slightly here, and everyone looked at him. After all, the identities of these thousand people are sensitive. They were captured by the Jurchens, suffered all kinds of torture, and their physical fitness was weak. Now that the camp is being watched by scouts, how to send these people away and where to send them is a problem. Once the Jurchens really come with a large army, it will be a burden for them to transfer more than 4,000 people.

"I still want to take these thousand people back to Xiacun first," Ning Yi said, "Yes, they are in poor health and have low morale. If they go to the battlefield, more than 1,000 people will not be able to withstand thirty or fifty. They still have to eat, but it is necessary to let the people of Xiacun see them. They are very miserable, so they are very valuable. Let others see it, publicize it well, and the more than 10,000 people in Xiacun may be able to increase the combat power of quite a thousand people... Then, I will find a way to send them away."

Even with the groundwork laid yesterday, Ning Yi's words at this time were still cold and ruthless. Everyone listened in silence, and Qin Shaoqian nodded first: "I think it's okay."

"Let's take it one step at a time. Next, we'll see when others come to attack us..." Ning Yi looked at his hand, "And whether Bianliang can hold on..."

The Ever Victorious Army has 36,000, Mutuo Ridge has over 10,000, and there are more than 50,000 outside Bianliang City. In any case, 4,000 people is really too few, too few.

Outside the town's ruins, on the snow ridge, in the forest, small-scale conflicts occasionally broke out this night. The search, fighting, and collision between scouts never stopped...

In Bianliang, Shishi sat in the corner eating a steamed bun. Her body and hands were covered in blood. Just now, a wounded soldier died in front of her.
