Chapter 205 It seems that we still have to attack by force
When the rebel leader saw the woman, his expression softened.
He raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek, saying, "Yes, several generals will come to my study to discuss matters later. Madam, please have tea and snacks prepared. Don't neglect the guests."
The woman clenched her fist and punched his arm lightly, "I know, General, you're still worried about me."
The rebel leader held the woman's fist, brought it to his lips and kissed it.
"You are my husband's greatest trust."
The woman's cheeks instantly flushed red, looking even prettier than with rouge, and she called out in a sullen voice, "General~"
The rebel leader liked her gesture very much. He smiled and kissed the back of her hand twice before letting her go and striding to the study.
As she watched him leave, the woman's pretty smile faded, and she rubbed the back of her hand where she had been kissed against her clothes.
He walked away and told people to prepare tea and cakes.
Not long after the rebel leader returned to his study, generals arrived one after another.
Several people closed the door and discussed.
The study door was opened halfway through, and the woman placed tea and snacks on the table beside them with a gentle smile.
Then he quietly left, and when he closed the door, he glanced at the rebel leader sitting at the main table, his eyes filled with endless affection.
After the door closed, the generals joked, "No wonder Big Brother favors his sister-in-law so much. Look at this..."
"Shut up!"
The rebel leader didn't like them talking about his wife.
After discussing it, the few of them decided to wait and see. After all, they were in Jinzhou City, relying on the natural barrier, so they had the advantage.
…
This time the rebels were very patient.
The people sent by Xiao Ning took turns to shout and curse, but the opponent was like a grandson and did not respond at all.
Xiao Ning didn't believe it and went into battle himself to curse.
The curses were so harsh, but the other side remained silent.
On the city wall, someone was jumping up and down in anger, "Brother, don't stop me, I'm going to beat this kid so hard that his parents won't even recognize him!"
The rebel leader sat there steadily, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and only ordered people in a calm voice to stop the impulsive general.
"Hello, ma'am."
At this time, a graceful figure came to the city wall.
When the rebel leader saw her, he immediately put down his teacup and stood up, "Why is Madam here?"
The woman smiled softly and said, "I was worried that the general... and everyone else would be hungry here, so I had someone make some pancakes and send them over to satisfy your hunger."
As she spoke, she took the basket from the maid behind her.
"You've all lost your roots, haven't you? You don't have any courage at all! Even the wild boars I castrated in my hometown have courage!"
"You rootless bastards, do you dare to come down and fight me, your grandfather?"
Vulgar shouting.
But it was a voice that was all too familiar...
The basket in his hand fell to the ground, and the white flour cakes in the basket rolled all over the floor.
He dug his nails into his palms to hold back the tears that threatened to burst out.
She hurriedly squatted down to pick up the cake.
Seeing this, the rebel leader stepped forward, pulled the person up, and signaled the maid behind her to pick it up.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
The woman nodded, then shook her head. "He...his scolding was so harsh. I'm a little angry."
The rebel leader touched her face, hugged her in his arms, and said jokingly, "Why are you angry? It's just a few scoldings, it won't hurt. Besides, how is my husband... Sanniang, don't you know it best?"
The last sentence was spoken close to her ear.
The heat hit her earlobe and Lin Sanniang got goose bumps all over her body.
Suppressing the nausea rising in her chest, she clenched her fist and lightly punched his chest.
She said coquettishly: "You're talking nonsense again~"
The rebel leader was beaten to a pulp.
Hug the person tighter.
"Wash yourself and wait for me in the evening."
Lin Sanniang pursed her lips and chuckled, "No, General, you should focus on your business first."
The rebel leader said, "Business is important, and you are important too."
There were curses again from below the tower—
"Sun thief, you are so spineless. Why are you a rebel? Go to the palace and become a eunuch!"
"Free food and shelter, no worries about food and clothing!"
Lin Sanniang pushed the man away and said with lowered eyes, "General, please get back to your business."
The rebel leader nodded and squeezed her waist gently, "Let's go back quickly. This place isn't very safe."
Lin Sanniang nodded and reminded him, "Then General, please be careful..."
The rebel leader nodded and watched her leave.
Only after Lin Sanniang got off the city wall did she slowly let out a breath.
He turned around and glanced towards the city gate.
When she first entered Jinzhou City, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look.
The terrain of Jinzhou City...
I'm afraid it's easy to defend but difficult to attack.
What should she do to help the Marquis?
Lin Sanniang's mind was in a mess.
She lifted the carriage curtain and looked out, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
In recent days, Jinzhou City has been under martial law, and there are fewer people on the streets, with only a few shops open for business.
Lin Sanniang returned to the rebel leader's residence.
The richest family in Jinzhou City once lived in this mansion. When Jinzhou was in disaster, the clan members fled early, leaving only some old servants to look after the house.
After entering the city, the rebels burned, killed and looted.
These servants were killed, and the mansion became the property of the rebel leader.
"lady."
The servants in the mansion greeted him respectfully.
They were all rescued from the rebels by Lin Sanniang, so they respected her very much.
Lin Sanniang smiled and nodded.
…
Xiao Ning's lips were cracked from cursing, but the rebels remained calm.
She returned empty-handed.
After returning to the tent, he gulped down a few glasses of water, then he breathed a sigh of relief and licked the cracked lips.
"These bastards are really able to keep their composure!"
Xu Chong nodded in agreement, "I cursed them till my throat was boiling that day, but they just wouldn't fight me."
Xiao Ning: "This isn't a solution. We can't keep wasting time with them..."
Li Yuan: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to wear them down. If they have limited food supplies, we can wear them down."
Xiao Ning: "When they run out of food, they will definitely rob the common people. If they do that, the common people will be the first to die."
Li Yuan: "...I was inconsiderate."
Xiao Ning waved his hand: "It's okay, I didn't adopt it."
Shen Zhiyi interjected, “It seems we still have to attack with force.”
Xiao Ning said, "If we want to capture Jinzhou City, a violent attack is inevitable. However, if we rashly start a fight without understanding their overall strength, we will be the only ones to suffer..."
Shen Zhiyi: "That's not necessarily true. The battlefield is constantly changing. We just have to adapt to the situation as the time comes."
Xiao Ning said speechlessly: "If we can avoid unnecessary casualties, we should do our best to avoid them. We are going to win the battle, not to die."
Shen Zhiyi: "One general's success is built on the sacrifices of thousands of soldiers..."
Xiao Ning: "Shut up!"
Shen Zhiyi was unwilling to shut up: "We can't waste time, we can't fight, does General Xiao have any better ideas?"
Xiao Ning: "I'm thinking about this."
The main tent fell into silence.
Suddenly, Xiao Ning snapped his fingers.
Everyone looked at her. Xiao Ning said, "How about this? Let's continue yelling and cursing for a few days, pretend to withdraw, and then..."
