Xie Yi just chuckled, "Your Highness makes it sound so simple. Putting aside those river bandits, just launching a night raid on the Xiliang people's camp would be very difficult."
Do you think those people came for a spring outing?
The city's garrison was already at a disadvantage against the Xiliang people, not to mention that those outside the city were all advance troops.
"Does Your Highness know what these four words represent?"
The vanguard of the Xiliang people could only truly engage in combat with the Southern Guards; otherwise, they were nothing more than the dead souls under their blades.
It's just a matter of how long it takes.
The soldiers guarding Weizhou City, having not been on the battlefield for many years, were no match for those men. However, thanks to the high and thick walls of Weizhou City, they could still gain a slight advantage.
As long as the city gates remain standing, the people inside the city will still have a chance to survive.
But if they were to launch a night raid, it would be a sure way to send the city's defenders to their deaths.
Jiang Yimian frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude of saying it was no good before even trying. Just as she was about to continue, she was pulled back by the person next to her.
Lu Cijian squeezed her hand reassuringly before looking at Xie Yi and saying in a deep voice, "Weizhou City taking the initiative is a good way to break the deadlock. Your Highness may wish to consider it carefully."
The Southern Guard will arrive in two days at most, which will be a significant boost to Weizhou.
Upon hearing this, Aguzan's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Lu Cijian with surprise.
He thought it would take at least seven or eight days, or even half a month, for the Southern Guards to arrive in Weizhou, but he didn't expect them to arrive in just two days.
This guy kept it well hidden; I wonder when he found out.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yi quickly looked up from the document in his hand, a flash of joy crossing his eyes, but then he sighed.
"If the Southern Guards can come, it will indeed be a great help to Weizhou, but those Xiliang people are not easy to deal with, not to mention the river bandits."
I will discuss this with those Southern Guards at that time.
As for the night raid on the Xiliang camp, you two should not mention it again. The city is already much smaller than the Xiliang army, and losing more people would only cause the people of Weizhou to die even faster.
"Prefect Chen, take these men to rest."
As they left the hall, Prefect Chen led the way, saying, "I know the princess and Lord Lu meant well."
"But those Xiliang people are truly ruthless; the night raid on the camp is bound to fail. The prince certainly won't agree to such a suicidal plan."
The city's garrison has already suffered some losses dealing with the river bandits. If they are also wiped out by raiding the camp, Weizhou City will likely face even greater difficulties.
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and said indifferently, "How can you be sure it's a suicide mission if you haven't tried it?"
Those people from Xiliang are now brazenly stationed outside the city, intending to keep everyone inside in a state of panic.
A night raid would catch them completely off guard, greatly increasing the success rate.
This is the best course of action right now, rather than simply holding out for Weizhou City.
Judge Chen choked for a moment, glanced at the group of people, and muttered under his breath, "Why are there a few more old men here out of nowhere?"
I wonder what heinous things Weizhou City has done that has attracted so many unreliable people.
As they were talking, they saw a red figure running towards them from afar, which startled him so much that he turned to run away.
However, it was still too late.
"Prefect Chen, how is my plan? Have you tried it? My goods are all valuable items, and I can't let those river bandits ruin them."
"And my caravan members, they can't have died in vain at the hands of river pirates. I, this young master, will make them pay with their lives."
Lin Yan'an ran over from the end of the corridor with a resentful look on his face. The jade pendant at his waist jingled, and he even gripped the folding fan tightly in his hand, clearly showing that he was in a bad mood.
As she approached, she saw the group of people in front of her and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Jiang, Liu'er, what are you doing here? Did you come to pick me up?"
"That's wonderful! You have no idea how much I've suffered these past few days. Come here, give me a hug."
As he spoke, he reached out his hands to Jiang Yimian and Liu'er.
However, before he could even touch anyone, something hard was pressed against his shoulder.
Looking down, he saw a gleaming dagger pressed against his shoulder. Startled, he immediately screamed and took a few steps back, shouting, "You, surnamed Lu, are you insane? Do you want to kill someone in the Prince's mansion?"
He kept shouting while carefully checking his clothes, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were not damaged.
These are clothes he just made; he hasn't even worn them many times yet.
Lu Cijian simply sheathed the dagger in her hand and glanced at him indifferently, "Too noisy."
Lin Yan'an immediately expressed his dissatisfaction and deliberately said, "I'll make a fuss, Jiang sister, Jiang sister, Liu'er, Liu'er."
That guy surnamed Lu is really annoying. If he weren't outmatched, he would have definitely attacked him.
He was so excited to finally see his family in Beijing, he couldn't even be a little overwhelmed with emotion. This guy surnamed Lu really is a cold-hearted, icy iceberg.
Jiang Yimian got goosebumps from being called "Jiang Meimei" so many times, and had no choice but to change the subject, "What are you doing here? Didn't you say you were going back to pick up Zhaozhao?"
Lin Yan'an snorted, turned his head, and stood directly next to Liu'er, deliberately saying, "Liu'er, look at these two people, they are both bad people. One thinks I am noisy, and the other does not care about me at all. He doesn't even know why I came here."
"You're the best! I've missed you all so much since we last met."
As he spoke, he pulled Liu'er into his arms.
The next second, he was pushed out.
Liu'er said discontentedly, "Stop touching me."
But her cheeks involuntarily turned red.
