"General, we caught a carrier pigeon!!"
The military advisor rushed into Cong Chongqiu's tent excitedly, holding a carrier pigeon in his hand.
He woke up early in the morning and prepared to discuss with General Cong how to arrange the follow-up matters.
On the way, I met this pigeon flying towards me.
How could the soldiers, who had been craving for meat for so long, let go of the meat that was right in their mouths? A few soldiers jumped a few times and caught the pigeon.
As a result, they found that there was a letter tied to each of their feet.
Now, the carrier pigeon fell into his hands.
Cong Chongqiu, who was looking at the sand table, looked up at the carrier pigeon in the military advisor's hand, and his head began to pound.
The enemy's carrier pigeons are really good at finding their targets accurately.
None of the first three letters fell into his hands.
As soon as he dealt with the two groups of people, the letter fell into the hands of his men.
"Take the letter down and let's see it."
Cong Chongqiu glanced at the pigeon's feet.
"I've already sent for a military doctor." The military advisor glanced at the letter and showed no intention of taking it down.
"It's better to be careful."
Cong Chongqiu is now the backbone of more than 100,000 soldiers, and nothing can happen to him.
The soldiers brought by Shi Qiang were like a group of loose sand. Knowing that Shi Qiang had been dealt with, no one dared to question it, as if Shi Qiang did not exist.
Look at how much of a failure General Shi Qiang has been.
However, he still asked his personal guards to pay more attention to the soldiers who came with Shi Qiang to prevent them from reporting to the imperial city.
The longer this matter can be delayed, the better. The soldiers can live one more day and have an extra way out.
A moment later, the military doctor came to Cong Chongqiu's tent carrying a small medicine box.
Seeing the familiar little carrier pigeon, the military doctor's mouth twitched.
The enemy has so many carrier pigeons. Why don’t they release a thousand or so many of them so that everyone can have a taste?
"Don't worry, General. It's not poisonous."
The military doctor carefully examined the carrier pigeon and presented the letter with both hands.
This time he had experience and knew not to look at things he shouldn't, so he didn't even open the letter. He just cut off a corner of it and checked it.
After the military doctor left the tent, Cong Chongqiu opened the letter.
The military advisor looked at Cong Chongqiu's increasingly furrowed brows and couldn't help asking,
"General, what did the enemy say?"
Cong Chongqiu frowned and placed the letter on the table, tapping it lightly.
"Take a look."
The military advisor picked up the letter in confusion.
After a moment, the military advisor's gaze shifted from the letter to Cong Chongqiu's face.
"General, I think the enemy's suggestion is feasible."
"There's no turning back now. The Shi and Wu Ma families both hold extraordinary positions in the Imperial City."
"If what happened here gets to the Imperial City, none of us will be able to survive."
"So there are only three paths before us."
"Either take your soldiers and hide in the Dark Mountains, rebel directly, or surrender to the enemy."
"But!" The military advisor took a deep breath and continued,
"First, it's winter now, and it's too dangerous to lead the soldiers into the Dark Mountains."
"Secondly, if we rebel, we lack the manpower, food, and financial resources. The chances of success are low."
"And we have enemy troops chasing us from behind. We are attacked from both sides. This road is the most difficult."
After this analysis, we have ruled out two paths, so the only one left is the last one.
If it were any other general, the military advisor would never dare to say such treasonous words.
Those generals were loyal to the royal family, and when he said this, other generals could chop off his head.
But General Cong was different. He knew that the general never took the royal family seriously.
Those people in the imperial city eat and drink delicious food all day long, and never consider the hardships of the soldiers on the border. General Cong often scolded those people in the imperial city.
"So, joining the enemy is in our best interests."
The military advisor looked at Cong Chongqiu seriously.
Cong Chongqiu leaned back in his chair, frowning and looking at the military advisor intently.
The military advisor's analysis made sense, but he couldn't agree to the enemy so easily.
There is no way the enemy just wants Crescent City.
After they capture Xinyue City and the soldiers under his command, they will definitely capture Xiliang Kingdom.
He may not have to consider the royal family of Xiliang, but he has to consider the innocent people of Xiliang.
"Military Advisor, please write a letter back to the enemy..."
.......
Water Sky City....
"Wow, you replied pretty quickly."
Lin Yiran smiled and looked at the carrier pigeon in Xiao Yunhao's hand.
This letter was sent out during the morning hours (7:00-9:00), and the reply arrived just after noon (11:00-13:00).
"General Cong is about to face the situation of being attacked from both sides. How can he not be anxious?" Xiao Yunhao smiled faintly and untied the letter from the pigeon's foot.
After opening the letter and reading it, Xiao Yunhao handed it to Lin Yiran.
"Fourth brother's wife, take a look."
Lin Yiran reached out to take the letter.
"If we want Xinyue City, General Cong has to lead the soldiers under his command himself, provide them with food and winter clothes, and he can't harm the people of Xinyue City..."
Lin Yiran looked at the request in the letter and smiled.
These demands were not excessive. The people of Xiliang would be her subjects from then on, so they would naturally not allow anyone to harm them.
She can't take over an empty country.
She only needs to deal with the parasites and those who are dissatisfied in the imperial city of Xiliang Kingdom, and then elect a group of fresh blood to take office.
