Upon hearing this, Military Advisor Tulu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Your Excellency the Chanyu is wise."
The other soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief.
Uwe, who has always been stubborn, finally came to his senses and listened to the advice.
…
"Urgent news, urgent news..."
Tan Junyan was arranging various matters when a soldier ran in panting.
"The Tong family army from Taiming City is attacking our Tianshui City..."
"etc."
Tan Junyan hurriedly stopped him, "The young emperor ordered the siege of Tianshui City, but doesn't the Tong family army know that Tianshui City has changed hands?"
"I know, that's why they attacked Tianshui City..."
The soldiers knelt on the ground and continued to report the situation.
"They just took people there to demonstrate. As soon as our people left the city, they all surrendered."
"They just want to have something to eat after surrendering."
"General Qu Zheng, who guards Tianshui City, sent Long Feng as an envoy to negotiate with Taiming City."
"As a result, Tong Zheng led all the Tong family troops to surrender."
"Long Feng alone conquered the entire Taiming City."
The soldier said this and handed over a large seal and a military token.
"This is Tong Zheng's seal and military token. He handed them over voluntarily."
Tan Junyan broke out in a sweat.
When the Daliang army attacked the city, they sent Qu Zheng to ask for help from the Tong family army, but were rejected. Now they come to this place again, which is really speechless.
"Commander, Tong Zheng is full of tricks. Initially, it was the Tong family army that was guarding Pengshui City. They couldn't hold on any longer, so they wrote to us, asking us to come and support them."
"After we arrived at Pengshui City, they all withdrew and left us there."
"Moreover, they retreated to Taiming City where we were, exchanged positions with us, and forced us to the front line of defense."
"They are surrendering to us now just to make a living."
"General Cheng is absolutely right." Wei Guang also spoke.
"Tong Zheng is full of tricks and cannot accept their surrender."
Another soldier muttered, "The main thing is, Tong Zheng is too bad."
"They are just a bunch of ungrateful wolves who can never be fed."
"They simply have no food and can no longer survive. Surrender is just a delaying tactic."
“If we really accept them, it’s easy to end up losing more than we gain.”
"Coach, you have to think twice!"
All the officers and soldiers tried to persuade Tan Junyan not to accept Tong Zheng's surrender.
But at this moment, another soldier ran in.
"Commander, the gods have sent a message to temporarily stop supplying food."
"He said he was worried we'd get tired, so he'd continue in three-quarters of an hour."
As the soldier spoke, he handed over Wang Yan's letter.
"Very good."
Tan Junyan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she looked at the generals and said, "Wang Yan said before that before making any important decisions, we should ask his opinion first."
"Now that the food supply has stopped, it's time to write him a letter and ask for his help."
"Let me write a letter to Wang Yan and see what he says."
When the generals heard what Tan Junyan said, they all nodded in agreement.
Cheng Yong was the first to speak: "Coach, this is a very prudent move. Young Master Wang Yan has always had brilliant ideas, and his opinion is definitely the most correct."
"Yes, the methods provided by Master Wang Yan before have benefited us greatly, and this time will definitely be no different."
"When it comes to wisdom and strategy, I don't admire anyone but Wang Yan."
"With the divine master Wang Yan here, Tong Zheng won't be able to gain any advantage no matter how cunning he is."
The generals were also talking about it.
Tan Junyan ignored them and opened her notebook and wrote:
Steel and many other materials have arrived.
I am deeply sorry for causing you trouble and money.
The steel is of excellent quality and is a top-quality material for making weapons, and officers and soldiers are very happy with it.
As you instructed, I will exchange 250 kilograms of fine rice for a war horse. The news has already been sent out.
The plans for the construction of the city walls and houses were ready, and work began the next day.
There is something I would like to ask you about.
The Tong family army of Tianming City attacked Tianshui City, but it surrendered without a fight.
General Qu Zheng, who was guarding Tianshui City, sent Long Feng as an envoy to negotiate with Tong Zheng.
Tong Zheng led all the Tong family troops to surrender, and voluntarily presented the commander's seal and military order.
All they want is food, because after they surrender, we will provide them with food.
Tong's purpose was obvious, and all the soldiers refused.
Therefore, I have written this letter to you, hoping that you will give it your attention. Should you accept it or reject it?
After writing, he walked out and used a porcelain jar to send the letter over.
Wang Yan soon saw the letter from Tan Junyan.
After reading it over and over again, he said to Cheng Wushuang, Chen Hu, and Xu Dong, "What do you three think?"
"Of course not."
Cheng Wushuang was the first to speak, "Tong Zheng just wants to make a living. If you accept the challenge, you will lose."
Chen Hu nodded, "I think so too. We can't accept them. That would put a heavy burden on us."
"Yeah! I still have to keep an eye on them and worry about them, but..."
Xu Dong paused, "If we take Taiming City, build high walls with the four cities as points, and establish a huge city, that would be beautiful."
Chen Hu's eyelids twitched when he heard this. "You're really bold. How much would that cost?"
"Hi."
Xu Dong laughed and said, "I was just saying it casually."
"What's the point of telling me..."
Wang Yan took over the conversation and said, "If you think of it, you should do it."
Xu Dong: "Uh, no!"
Cheng Wushuang: "You are crazy."
Chen Hu: "It's so huge. Once it's built, it will be as big as a small country."
"Also, how do we deal with the Tong family army?"
"Keeping that old fellow Tong Zheng around is a disaster. Sooner or later, he'll screw us over."
