Chapter 670: About to Give Birth
Outside the Anping County Gate
The Sun family army was challenging outside as usual.
After the routine challenge, Sun Congyi chatted with Chang Zhilan about lunch across the air.
Sun Congyi asked loudly, "Old Chang, do you know what red-braised pork is?"
Fu Lianheng answered expertly, "General Sun, General Chang may not know this, but I do. Our barracks' braised pork is made with the best pork belly, cut into tofu-sized cubes, and then cooked. The braised pork is perfectly crispy but not greasy, fatty but not oily, and melts in your mouth. It's incredibly delicious."
"Yes, braised pork and butcher's dish are different. Butcher's dish is delicious, but braised pork has a rich, oily sauce, and it has a completely different flavor."
The soldiers on the Anping County walls were listening intently. "Rich in oil and red sauce? That sounds delicious."
"Forget it, let's stop here for today. Let's call it a day and go home to eat!" Sun Congyi seemed to be in a hurry to go home to eat.
At this time, Chang Zhilan spoke, "Hey, Sun Congyi, why did you leave?"
Chang Zhilan still wouldn't let me leave.
"Why, do you want to save some food?" Sun Congyi asked back.
Chang Zhilan Haha, it’s impossible to save any food for you.
"If you say a few more words, we might surrender you."
"If you open the city gates and fight us, we won't be in a hurry to go back. Do you want to fight?"
"No fight!"
"Forget it. Humph, Lao Chang, you are such a mean person. Don't think I don't know your sinister intentions! You just want to delay our meal."
"Yes, General Sun, we don't bother to pay attention to them. Eating is more important. You know, if we go back late, we can only eat white flour buns."
Soldiers on the Anping County wall: What do you mean by "coming back late and only having to eat white flour buns"?
"Xiao Sun, you just know how to envious us every day. I don't believe the food in the Pingzhou army is that good."
"Don't believe it?" The other party provoked Sun Congyi, who seemed to have been fooled. "Okay, I'll show you today."
Sun Congyi sent someone to pass on the message that they would have dinner outdoors today!
Soon, buckets of rice and pots of dishes were carried up from the back.
Standing on the city wall, Chang Zhilan could see the soldiers of the Sun family army getting dishes after their meal. Each of them first got a spoonful of green vegetables and then a spoonful of braised pork, about three or four pieces.
Soldiers of Dali: The food of Pingzhou army is really that good!
"Why isn't it white rice?" Chang Zhilan was nitpicking.
"Is two-grain rice dirty?" Sun Congyi asked back.
Soldiers of Dali: It’s not dirty. Two-grain rice with braised pork is the real thing. If they really eat white rice with braised pork, they will suspect that Sun Congyi and others are putting on a show.
Sun Jiajun began to take turns eating.
"General, do you think they will open the city gate and attack us while we are eating?" Fu Lianheng asked in a low voice.
Sun Congyi said, "I'm looking forward to it." As long as they come out, he will be able to take Anping County!
"General, if we attack by force, it will be no problem to take Anping County." Fu Lianheng said while eating. He had made an estimate.
"You want me to make a mistake? If we use force to capture Anping County, will the casualties be yours or mine? Follow orders and take it step by step, understand?"
The governor was about to give birth, so all military operations were suspended for rest and recuperation. Of course, if the Dali or Xianbei attacked, they would not be afraid.
Sun Congyi's simple and straightforward strategy of attacking the heart was effective. At night, some Dali soldiers who were thinking took the opportunity to defend the city and began to act.
Song Fu was a centurion of the former Southern Expedition Army. After several days of thinking, he decided to secretly defect to the Sun family army in Pingzhou.
Before leaving, he planned to call his good brothers and superiors, "Brother Chen, how about we go to Pingzhou together?"
Chen Ning's face changed when he heard this. "How could you have such an idea? You're really going to die. If you go to the other side, what will happen to your family?"
"Brother Chen, I'm telling you a secret. My family has already arrived in Pingzhou, and they're looking forward to my coming over to reunite with them."
Chen Ning remembered a letter from home that the boy had received two days ago.
"Then go ahead."
"Brother Chen, how about you?"
"I can't leave. You should leave quickly." His family is still in Dali.
"good."
"Wait--" Chen Ning stopped him.
"What happened to Brother Chen?"
"Come, give me a hand." Chen Ning tilted his neck.
Song Fu understood, "Okay."
Song Fu struck him with a knife and knocked him unconscious.
After dragging the man to a hidden corner, he took out a rope, tied one end, and quickly climbed down the rope. Then, under the cover of night, he rushed towards the Pingzhou army.
Similar situations occurred one after another.
Chang Zhilan was furious about this, but he did not take any corresponding preventive measures.
Pingzhou, Changli
After eight months of pregnancy, Lu Songli gradually reduced her workload.
She also planned to temporarily delegate power during her delivery. Military affairs would be handed over to Qin Heng, while the entire Pingzhou government would be managed by her father, Lü Desheng, and the cabinet consisting of Xue Xu, Guo Chong, and Dong Jichuan.
Lu Songli asked, "Are all suspicious people under surveillance?"
She knew very well that Xie Zhan would definitely take action. When they were in Beihai, he was willing to risk his life just to make her pregnant.
If Xie Zhan wants to take action, he will definitely activate the hidden players buried in Pingzhou.
She decided to take advantage of the situation and use this opportunity to clean up the portal, purify the team, and see if she could make a quick buck.
Xue Xu replied, "Governor, all suspicious individuals are under surveillance."
The heir is about to be born, and the cohesion of Pingzhou is unprecedented. Everyone is full of energy and looks forward to the birth of the baby in her belly. The safe birth of the child represents that Pingzhou's great cause will have successors.
In order to deal with production risks, Lu Songli prepared two or three plans.
She would never joke about her own safety.
Anyone who dares to take action at this time will be punished for being ruthless! She will show no mercy.
Attack at this time, want to kill her. Why should she still care about the old relationship?
Lu Songli even imagined the worst-case scenario. If she had a difficult birth and was faced with the choice of saving the older or younger child, she would definitely save herself. She is not that great and selfless.
Xue Xu firmly supported Lu Songli's instructions and arrangements.
It's right to be afraid of death. Who in this world doesn't cherish life? Even ants know how to survive.
Lu Mansion
"My daughter is about to give birth, so you have to pay attention to my eldest daughter-in-law, especially when she comes home." Lu Desheng reminded his wife.
"It's impossible that Tian has such bad intentions, right?"
"I'm afraid those short-sighted people will be deceived." Lu Desheng curled his lips. He was not very smart to begin with, and if he was fooled again, he would be even more stupid.
Jiang nodded and took the matter to heart.
"If necessary, let your eldest son give him a lesson." Lu Desheng was reluctant to let his old wife worry about him, so whoever owns the daughter-in-law should take care of her.
Jiang glared at him, "What do you mean by 'my eldest son'? Is the son mine alone?" She was afraid that she could not keep this old man.
"I was wrong. It's our son."
Seeing that he admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Jiang advised him, "You should be more patient with children."
Lu Desheng looked disgusted. He refused. He hated stupidity.
"I'm going out for a while."
Jiang asked him, "Where are you going?"
"Xilin Cemetery."
"What are you going there for?"
"Please ask the late emperor and the general to bless my daughter to have a smooth delivery." Lu Desheng sighed in his heart. Why couldn't his daughter be a boy? If it was a boy, he wouldn't have to bear the risk of childbirth.
Jiang: ...
