Yu Jinshu stood up and pulled Feng Yu to sit down. "Don't be anxious! Eat with me, or I'll be so bored."
Feng Yu said anxiously, "We are here to quell the rebellion, not to eat."
Yu Jinshu smiled at him calmly: "Why are you so anxious? You have never fought a war, so you don't understand this is a tactic."
Not to mention that this sentence really stumped Feng Yu. He was not allowed to leave the capital since he was a child and was closely watched by Feng Yishan. It can be said that he had no knowledge at all.
Although he had secretly read military books, they did not tell him what to do if he encountered such a situation.
He looked at Yu Jinshu and questioned, "Even if you killed 60,000 people from the Beiyue Kingdom with the help of the Snake King, you have never fought in a war, so how can you understand tactics?"
A woman only has some summoning skills, so how can she talk about tactics?
Yu Jinshu handed him a pair of wooden chopsticks and said, "Sit down and eat with me, and I'll tell you."
Feng Yu picked up the wooden chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and ate it, staring at her face while eating.
Yu Jinshu said, "Zhao Sui has placed all the old, weak, and sick people in Ning City on the city gate, hoping to use them to feed my Snake King. With so many people, one or two days is fine, but over time, he will definitely take good care of them to prevent them from starving and becoming too thin to feed my Snake King."
Feng Yu had never thought about her Snake King, but after hearing her say this, he understood something. "Are you planning to delay Zhao Sui until those people have eaten up all their military supplies and run out of patience before attacking the city?"
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "You're half right. We're definitely going to eat up all their military rations and exhaust Zhao Sui's patience. But I don't intend to attack the city!"
Feng Yu was confused again. "You don't want to attack the city, then what do you want?"
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's eat, play and sleep well here first. Let our five thousand soldiers eat and sleep well here too. Don't let them suffer."
Seeing that she was keeping him in suspense, Feng Yu stopped thinking about it. He could feel that this woman was no ordinary person and must have a good way to take over Ningcheng.
In that case, he listened to her and had a good time eating, having fun and sleeping well in Wucheng.
The prefect, county magistrate and other officials of Wucheng government office were also anxious. Seeing that the prince and princess had arrived, they did not attack Ningcheng.
They tried to get some information, but Feng Yu just gave them two words: "No rush".
Three days later, at the Ningcheng Palace.
Zhao Sui had just killed a young man with his own hands. He wiped the blood off the sword, his brows twitching with anger, and he couldn't stop.
"Why hasn't Princess Rouhua summoned the Snake King yet? Didn't she use the Snake King to kill 60,000 people from the Beiyue Kingdom? There are a full 40,000 old, weak, and sick people on the city walls, plus many useless people in the city who are leading the charge, waiting to feed Princess Rouhua's Snake King. By then, we only need to feed all the snakes, and then we can send in 50,000 soldiers and horses, which will be enough to kill Prince Liang and his 5,000 men and horses, and capture Princess Rouhua alive."
A smile spread across his face. "Once I can get Princess Rouhua pregnant, she will be at my service. In the future, I will lead her and her Snake King to conquer all enemies. We will march to the Beiyue Kingdom's palace and crush Feng Yishan to pieces."
At the beginning, Feng Yishan flatly rejected his request to inherit the title. Not only that, he also tried to put all of his adoptive father's property into the national treasury.
Not only that, Feng Yishan even sent assassins to kill him.
Fortunately, he had been practicing martial arts since he was young and had great skills, so he escaped the disaster.
A minister in the palace said, "Prince Ning, we haven't given them anything to eat in the past three days. Some of them are almost starving to death."
Zhao Sui frowned when he heard this: "We can't let them starve to death. If they starve to death, how can we let them feed the snake king of Princess Rouhua?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Not only can we not let them starve to death, we must also feed them so that they have more meat, so that we can feed the snake king."
The minister said, "Prince Ning, the army only has enough food to feed our fifty thousand soldiers for two months. If we give it to them, our soldiers will probably starve to death."
Zhao Sui glanced at the minister and said sternly, "You are too short-sighted. Just make sure they eat enough. Once the Snake King is full, we will send troops to kill Prince Liang and make Princess Rouhua submit to me. Then I can immediately lead Princess Rouhua to attack Wucheng. Wucheng has plenty of food and fodder. By then, our 50,000 troops will be well fed. Then we can march south and attack the capital. By then, our people can eat as much as they want."
The minister felt something was wrong when listening to Zhao Sui's words, and raised another question: "But what if those people are not enough for Princess Rouhua's snake king to eat?"
Zhao Sui slammed the table and stood up: "You idiot, the Snake King ate 60,000 people from the Beiyue Kingdom and stopped eating. I also have 60,000 people here, how can it not be enough for the Snake King to eat?"
The minister was afraid of angering Zhao Sui and bringing about his own death, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He just nodded repeatedly to show his agreement, and hurried to the military camp to take out all the military rations and arrange for them to eat the old, weak and sick.
Yu Jinshu knew everything about Ningcheng.
She released a few small snakes and delivered all the information about Ning Cheng.
When she learned that Zhao Sui had taken out all the military rations to feed the old, weak and sick people on the city wall, she was extremely happy.
When Feng Yu heard the news, he finally understood Yu Jinshu's good intentions and couldn't help but secretly cheer for her in his heart.
The old, weak and sick people on the city wall grew a lot of weight thanks to the military rations, but Zhao Sui became anxious.
For more than ten days in a row, more than half of the military rations were eaten, but Princess Rouhua's snake king still had not appeared.
According to the spies, Princess Rouhua and Prince Liang were enjoying themselves in Wucheng and had no intention of attacking the city.
Zhao Sui was so angry that his hair exploded.
But he didn't dare to stop supplying food to the old, weak and sick people on the city wall!
What if he stopped and Princess Rouhua attacked the city? What would he use to deal with the Snake King?
This put him in a dilemma.
"Wait two more days. If Princess Rouhua doesn't attack the city again, we will take the initiative to send troops to attack Wucheng."
At worst, we can take the old, weak, sick and disabled to Wucheng and let them take the lead.
If Princess Rouhua summoned the Snake King to fight back, they would be able to defeat Wucheng with a force of 50,000.
Two more days passed, but Zhao Sui still did not wait for the snake king of Princess Rouhua.
On this day, he planned to lead his troops out of the city to attack Wucheng.
In the past, he only defended and did not attack because Feng Yishan always sent tens of thousands of soldiers to attack, and he was sure he could not defeat them, so he simply guarded the city gate.
The gate of Ningcheng was built on a high mountain. Just throwing stones from it would kill many soldiers of the Beiyue Kingdom.
But this time, Feng Yu only brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, as if he was just there for fun.
If it weren't for Princess Rouhua, Zhao Sui would not have taken Prince Liang seriously at all.
When the city gates opened, Zhao Sui ordered his 50,000 elite soldiers to lead 60,000 to 70,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people and civilians in front, totaling more than 100,000 people, a considerable formation.
