Cui Xia glanced at the two confused people and said, "Do I need to say more? Why don't we just go into the city and grab some refugees and be done with it?"
Why don't so many people use it? Don't forget, Zhengyang City is also their home.
If they can't stop Ji Wan, they will all die."
The county magistrate and the legal advisor responded weakly.
Corvée...
Cui Xia looked coldly at the panic and fear on the faces of the people in the city, and sneered in his heart, but did not show anything on his face.
They are just a bunch of ignorant civilians.
The county magistrate went with his legal advisor and acted as obediently as a quail, commanding some tall and strong men to rebuild the city wall.
Cui Xia's face showed no emotion.
It is no exaggeration to say that his style of doing things is exactly the same as that of the emperor in the palace who killed his father to ascend the throne.
But there are some subtle differences. He is more independent than the one in the palace.
The one in the palace would probably just open his mouth and ask the Queen Mother.
"Mom, what should I do?"
'Uncle, what should I do?'
Humph, a child who has not been weaned.
Cui Xia flipped through the records of his several battles with Ji Wan during this period.
He wanted to see if he could predict all of their future actions, which would make it easier to deal with these two rebels.
Ah... then how will Cui Min and Ji Wan attack the city? Cui Xia asked himself in his heart.
Ji Wan had so many soldiers under the city. Even if they didn't fight and just ate and drank, the daily expenses would be countless.
If they delay, it will be almost impossible.
But if Ji Wan's side took the initiative to attack the city, they would lose the good situation of occupying the outside of the city.
I guess, maybe, they will do some tricks that are not presentable.
Lure out the soldiers of the Donglin Kingdom in their city and fight against the rebel.
Then what kind of unsavory methods will Ji Wan use?
Is it a disguise of recuperation? Or is it a disguise of incompetence among the soldiers causing chaos?
Today the air was misty, and the trees on the hillside swayed gently in the early spring breeze.
Ji Wan and Cui Min were playing chess with the newly delivered chessboard from Fanzhou.
Sui Ruoxu, Liang Yan and others watched the battle from the side.
This was also the second day that Ji Wan and Cui Min learned how to play chess.
Yang Guan was on Ji Wan's left hand side, handing Ji Wan a black chess piece from time to time.
Ever since the battle plan was finalized, Ji Wan suddenly had nothing to do.
I do nothing all day, as if all my energy has been drained away.
He was either sleeping and resting in the tent, or wandering around the various tents, no different from a wandering chicken.
In the end, Cui Min was annoyed by Ji Wan's constant presence in front of him, so he offered to teach her how to play Go.
Before, when she was in the cold palace, Ji Wan was mentally unstable, and she was able to learn to be a princess with no ability, which was considered to be her true character.
What's more, she had to disguise herself as an illiterate princess.
You can imagine how difficult this is.
Where do I find the time to learn how to play Go?
Moreover, in modern times, she is busy making money all day long and has no time to learn things that can cultivate her sentiments.
I'm bored now, so I might as well learn it.
In the future, she can also pretend to be good when recruiting talented people.
Well, as for why I'm so idle and unwilling to take the teleportation array back to Fanzhou...
That was simply because if she went back, she would definitely have to face countless government affairs.
The war here isn't over yet, yet I have to rush back to handle government affairs...
She still cherishes her life... cough.
Anyway, Ji Wan is currently in a state where he is both bored and unwilling to go back to handle government affairs.
Very willful.
"Your Highness! You made a mistake!" Liang Yan pointed to the correct location: "You should have landed here!
Rucheng's white piece is only breathing its last breath, and only by moving here can we completely eliminate it."
Cui Min sighed, "Liang Xuanniao, do you know the saying 'A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word'?"
Liang Yan's expression remained unchanged, unconcerned: "Your Highness has only been learning chess for less than two days. What's wrong with Yan helping His Highness?"
"Huh" Cui Min laughed angrily: "How can there be someone as unreasonable as you!
You help His Highness, so is Na Min playing chess with you, Liang Xuanniao, or with His Highness?"
Sui Ruoxu: “…”
In fact, it didn't matter. His Highness was a little hesitant and didn't dare to make a move. In the end, Cui Min had to give the instructions himself.
Ignoring the two people's bickering, Ji Wan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled like a fox: "Let's bet here, I win."
Cui Min and Liang Yan stopped fighting, looked at the chessboard, and then widened their eyes at the same time.
The black pieces on the chessboard used the subtle difference in numbers to avoid all the traps set by the white pieces and eat up most of them.
In the end, the white piece was eaten without any ability to resist.
"Your Highness has only studied for two days and has seen such amazing changes. It's truly amazing."
Ji Wan raised his head and shook it left and right in a cocky manner: "Of course, it doesn't matter who I am."
This made Yang Guan laugh uncontrollably. Yes, His Highness is only fifteen years old now, and he will officially be of age on his birthday at the end of the year.
Just when everyone was having fun.
A scout rushed into the tent without stopping, his voice not panicked at all, as if he had been prepared: "Your Highness, Military Advisor, there is something unusual happening outside in Zhengyang City."
Ji Wan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the excited people in the room: "Is the fish hooked?"
During this period of time, Ji Wan had been asking the soldiers to make playful noises day and night.
They looked very disorganized, and from time to time they would go out of the city to challenge the enemy's gate, but they did not launch any substantial attack.
Cui Min put down the chess piece in his hand and asked carefully, "How many troops did the enemy deploy?"
"Commander in Chief, there are about 20,000 of them. And the enemy has mounted many more war horses."
The scout explained in detail what he had just seen using his spiritual sense.
"Okay, I got it. You go down first." Cui Min nodded.
Ji Wan had already stood up and was supported by Yang Guan, leading the generals and counselors out of the tent.
In just a moment, the clouds and fog dissipated, the spring breeze blew gently, the sun was shining brightly, and it was a good day.
As soon as Ji Wan went out, he released Shen Shi, and the people behind him did the same.
Sure enough, I saw that outside the enemy's city gate, there were already a large number of soldiers and horses, and the sound of drums on the other side was deafening.
His spiritual sense passed over it, and he saw it clearly: "Hmm... the leader is an old man over fifty years old?"
Ji Wan murmured.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a white beard and a somewhat older appearance. Ji Wan always felt that this man looked familiar.
"Your Highness, it was this person I fought against that day, but I always feel something is wrong..."
Ding Wu was a little hesitant. This man gave him a wrong feeling. He didn't look like the experienced veteran who had fought a desperate battle with him a few days ago, but they had the same face.
Yang Guan narrowed his eyes and said, "General Ding is right, they are not the same person.
I guess they're brothers. The one before looked a bit darker than this one."
