“It smells so good!”
"Damn, why are you so chubby?"
A row of heads popped up on the city wall, each of them sticking half of their body out and swallowing hard.
There's no way, that overbearing fragrance is too tempting.
It floated over when the wind blew from two or three hundred meters away.
In addition to the temptation of taste, there is also a visual impact -
The black pot was so big that it felt like it could cook a cow, but it was filled with pieces of meat.
Fat and thin, trembling, soft and rotten.
It feels like it melts in your mouth without you having to chew it.
And the red, oily soup must be delicious even if it is eaten with cold and hard multi-grain pancakes.
I have to say, the temptation of braised pork is too great.
The guards on the city wall were so seduced by the wonderful smell that they started to have hallucinations.
They were standing on the city wall, more than 300 meters away, and could not see clearly what was cooking in the big pot.
But they were trapped in an illusion from which they did not want to wake up.
Especially since the people who appeared in this illusion were actually his acquaintances—
"Third brother, look, that brat squatting by the moat eating meat with a big bowl in his hands, isn't that Li Goudan from the Flying Leopard Battalion?"
"Huh? It seems so!"
"Oh, I remember now. When Prince Liang returned to the capital, he left the Flying Leopard Battalion in Jiangling."
The girl from the Gu family was the former wife of the King of Liang. Before the King of Liang committed suicide, she took over the garrison of Jiangling on his behalf.
Didn’t the former Flying Leopard Battalion become her soldiers?
Han Ben was Chen Duan's deputy general, and the Flying Tiger Battalion he commanded was also Chen Duan's army.
Before the troops were divided, perhaps these soldiers had all been trained in one training ground.
Among these soldiers, there may be some who are from the same hometown or old friends.
I can’t say I know them all, but there are always a few people I’m familiar with.
At this moment, the lowest-ranking soldiers who once trained together, ate hard biscuits and drank vinegar soup together, are now worlds apart.
I was still chewing on hard pancakes and drinking the sour and astringent vinegar water used to wash the pot.
As for his comrades, they grabbed the freshly-cooked white flour pancakes in one hand and the bowl full of meat in the other and ate with relish.
Really, just one look made the guards on the city wall feel indignant.
Why?
Everyone was the same before!
But what about now?
"It's better to follow the lady!"
"Yes! When the Lady was still the fiancée of King Liang, we could have three meals a day."
The guards on the city wall couldn't help but recall the days when they were supported by the Gu family.
Although I can't eat meat every day, I can still eat enough.
Salary and other things were deducted layer by layer and could not be paid in full.
But it’s more than at the beginning.
The Gu family is wealthy and also kind and righteous enough.
The soldiers didn’t have too deep a feeling before, but at this moment, when they saw their former comrades eating meat and fine grains, they couldn’t help but start comparing themselves.
It turns out that they were once supported by the Gu family and lived a good life.
Does this mean that they can live a better life like their brothers in the Flying Leopard Battalion under the city?
A meal of braised pork may not be enough to completely break down the defenders' psychological defenses.
However, a seed was planted in their hearts, and that seed quickly fell to the ground, sprouted, and grew wildly.
Jiang Chi was very satisfied. The first step went very smoothly.
Then comes the second and third steps.
For a strategist with a wealth of wisdom and strategies, he is a professional in scheming against others.
Not to mention, Gu Qingcheng gave him the greatest material support.
In the past, he could only make empty promises, relying entirely on his sharp tongue that could kill people.
But now, Jiang Chi has the huge material and financial resources of the Gu family, and every promise he made can be put into practice.
Or give people hope.
This makes his "trickery" more effective and quicker.
In less than three days, the defenders in Jiangyang City began to feel uneasy.
On the fourth day, some people began to secretly lower hanging baskets from the city wall in the middle of the night, swim across the moat, and seek refuge with the "female monarch".
"As expected of the number one strategist, when it comes to strategy, Jiang Chi is the king."
After Gu Qingcheng knew about it, she couldn't help but sigh secretly.
With such capable advisers under his command, Gu Qingcheng doesn't have to bother with plotting on his own.
Let go and let Jiang Chi penetrate directly.
She, on the other hand, devoted her energy to preparations for the war.
"Your Majesty, isn't Jiang Chi infiltrating? Han Cheng's men are all confused and their hearts are in chaos. Maybe there is no need to fight."
Even if he returns to this world, he will never change his melon-eating nature.
It took the conjured melon seeds and ate them with a crunching sound while chatting with Gu Qingcheng.
Now that Master Jiang has infiltrated, perhaps we can win without fighting.
Why should Your Majesty prepare for war again?
"Han Cheng is not a fool!"
Although Han Cheng is suspected of being an "ugly believer", he is just ugly, not stupid.
Being able to become Chen Duan's confidant and being arranged by Chen Duan to lead troops to defend the city, it is hard to say about other aspects, but in terms of leading troops to fight, Han Cheng should be relatively outstanding.
Infiltration cannot be done openly, and only a very small number of soldiers can be mobilized.
Even if there are only a very small number of people, there are a few every day. Even if Han Cheng is a fool, he is not blind.
There were only 3,000 men on his hands, and less than a hundred defenders on the city walls.
There were fewer people every day, and after three days, twenty or thirty people had "surrendered to the enemy."
