After this, the Wu army brought 100,000 heavy troops to attack Changshu. In the eyes of the vast majority of people, they could naturally break the city quickly and kill the Song army in the city without leaving any armor. However, as the war developed, the situation completely deviated from their ideas. After several attacks and defenses, they not only failed to break the city, but instead suffered a lot of losses and suffered a lot of casualties. In this way, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the generals, and even the chief general Pang Wanchun, the morale of them was a little depressed.

The consequence of this was that in the following days, the Wu army's offensive was not as fierce as before. Although they continued to send troops to attack the four gates of Changshu every day, they were more just to respond to the situation. Often, they retreated again just after a rain of arrows fell in the defenders, and there was no casualties. This reduced the pressure of the defenders in the city and everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the situation did not improve completely. After all, the 100,000 enemy troops outside the city did not really retreat. They just changed from radical attacks to another way of attacking the city, which was to siege but not attack, and they planned to use the word "expenditure" to drag down the defenders.

After seeing their thoughts, Sun Tu seemed quite calm. Although the food in Changshu City will be tightened over time, there are also considerable problems for the Wu army outside the city. Moreover, as a siege, the enemy's consumption will only be more than that of his own. The various expenses of the 100,000 troops fighting outside are not something that the newly established so-called Wu regime can bear.

He also believed that if time was delayed, Jinling would inevitably not be able to act deaf and dumb all the time. When reinforcements arrived, it would be a chance to turn defeat into victory and wipe out the enemy.

Therefore, under the situation where both sides had their own plans, Changshu City's offense and defense quickly slowed down. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Even the first month was about to pass, but the weather had no signs of warming up. Obviously, the climate this year is much colder than before.

Although the enemy's attacks have not been as active as before, the defenders of each city still dare not be careless. From morning to night, thousands of soldiers take turns to serve, and important generals are also inspecting at all times. Lin Chong is the one who inspected the south city today. When he patrolled around and found no problems, he was about to go down to report, but he heard a soldier shouting: "The anti-army is here again!"

Lin Chong hurriedly looked back, but was stunned, because the number of people coming back was only three or two, and they didn't bring weapons, so it didn't look like they were here to attack the city.

After a while, the other party had already raised his hands and walked under the city wall. He rushed up to the soldiers who had already raised their bows and glanced at them loudly: "Don't misunderstand all the soldiers of the Shandong Army. I am not here to be an enemy of you, but I want to see General Sun in person. I would like to ask any general who can make the decision to report, and I will say that Qin Chi is asking for a meeting."

"It's him..." Lin Chong immediately remembered the fact that this man came to lobby when he was in Danyang that day, but he didn't expect that this guy would come to the door again. Do you still want to be a lobbyist?

However, since the other party has clearly shown his identity, he is not good at breaking the rules, so he asked not to do it first, and then he went down to the city to send someone to report the matter to Sun Tu. Half an hour later, Sun Tu sent a message, allowing Qin Chi to enter the city to meet, but he could only let him go into the city.

Qin Chi naturally did not dare to bargain for this request. He immediately sat on the bamboo basket hanging from above and walked over to the top of the city. Under the hostile gaze of many soldiers, he passed through half of Changshu City, and came to the former Changshu County Government, where the combat command post was set up, and met Sun Tu, who had a bad face.

Seeing him coming, Sun Tu sneered: "Qin Chi, you are really brave. At this time, you dare to come into the city alone to see me. Are you not afraid that I will chop your head and hang it on the top of my Changshu city?"

"Haha, General Sun was joking. It would be easy for Qin Chi to kill me with the power of the general, but if the two countries were fighting and not killing me, you can't break the rules for many years, right? Besides, the general is still one of the few famous generals in the world, and he would not do such a thing that ruined his reputation. So I think I am definitely safe to come here." Qin Chi not only did not panic, but instead replied with a smile and took the opportunity to praise Sun Tu's words.

"Hmph, you are really good at speaking. But I am not limited to the rules and morals of killing you now. You and I are not two countries, but the court and the thief. Everyone can kill you! It is just because killing you is of no use to the entire battle situation, so I will save your life first." Sun Tu said this, his eyes flashed with a light, staring at him: "Tell me, why are you here? If you are still here as a lobbyist like last time and lobby me to surrender you, then save some energy and avoid opening your mouth."

Faced with Sun Tu's direct refusal, Qin Chi did not look discouraged at all, but instead smiled and said, "General Sun is indeed quick to speak quickly. Since this is the case, he will not go around in circles. It is not to be concealed. He is indeed ordered to persuade the general to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and submit to our master."

As he said that, before Sun Tu could refute, he quickly said: "Please listen to it and then make a decision. Regarding the bravery of combat, the Shandong army is indeed rare in the world; in terms of deployment and commanding operations, General Sun is the best in the Song army. Therefore, even if our Wu Kingdom has launched a hundred thousand troops to surround you here, it will be difficult to break the city in a short time. Perhaps because of this, General Sun cannot accept our Lord's kindness.

"But what I want to say is that General Sun, do you really think that you can keep defending, or even turn defeat into victory one day? In my opinion, this is almost impossible. Not only will there be a shortage of food and grass materials in your city soon, but you are now fighting alone. No matter how brave the soldiers of the Shandong Army fight, General Sun, you have exquisite commands, but under the premise of one army fighting with one country, the final result has long been destined."

His words immediately resulted in Sun Tu's laughter: "Hahahaha... It's really ridiculous! I am a general of the Song Dynasty. I was ordered to defeat the enemy. How could I say it alone? When my Song Dynasty reinforcements arrive in a few days, I will be able to kill you in an instant without leaving any armor!"

"General Sun hasn't figured out the truth yet?" Qin Chi smiled and looked back at Sun Tu, and said calmly: "You and I have been confronting each other for nearly a month. If the time when the Shandong army seized Changshu was included, it will take more than a month. But until today, there have been no reinforcements coming. Don't General Sun still realize that there is something strange about it?"

Seeing that Sun Tu's face changed slightly, he further said: "I have said that the Song court is corrupt and the traitors are in power. However, heroes like General Sun have been persecuted by them in every way. This is true today. Because Zhu Jie was afraid of the general's power, he strictly ordered the army not to go south and allowed our Wu army to surround and attack the small city of Changshu, in order to use our hands to eliminate the general. Will General Sun still work hard for such a foolish and incompetent court?

"Also, General, do you know that in this half month, in addition to surrounding Changshu and restraining your entire Shandong army, we also sent all the troops north to take down Wuxi City. Guess, how did we take down this city that is much larger and much stronger than Changshu? In just one night, we had successfully entered the city! Because long before we sent troops, the Song army stationed in Wuxi had been drawn, and they had long given up this city that instinctively gave you the help of the Shandong army. In other words, as early as the beginning, Zhu Jie and the others were going to kill your Shandong army completely!"

After saying this long passage, not only Sun Tu, but many people inside and outside the hall changed their faces instantly. In addition to suspicion, everyone's eyes were more angry. Although everyone had guessed something, after all, they had been guarding Changshu for a whole month and had several battles with the enemy. Even if the various troops in Jinling reacted slowly, it was time to send reinforcements at this time.

But now, not only did I not see the reinforcements, but I also received the bad news of Wuxi's loss. This feeling of being abandoned and betrayed makes people feel extremely frustrated and angry.

Sun Tu's face was so gloomy that it could drip into water. He looked at Qin Chi with a steady state: "What are you telling the truth?"

"The facts are there, why bother lie? And with General Sun, your talent, can't see this? You're just keeping yourself!"

Sun Tu fell into a long silence. After a long time, he looked up at the other party: "If what I expected was not bad, our army would come to Changshu and end up in such a situation, it was already under your plan? You had already colluded with Zhu Xie early in the morning, so they cooperated to trap me in this desperate situation!"

"General Sun's eyes are indeed like a torch, and I admire him. To be honest, after not convinced in Danyang that day, I went to Jinling again. Compared to the general, Zhu Xie is much easier to talk to." Qin Chi had no intention of deceiving or concealing, and told the truth directly.

While Sun Tu took a breath, he also completely ignited the anger of everyone present, and cursed for a while: "Dog thief Zhu Xie, you deserve to die! I just said that this matter was strange. How could the thief control our movements so clearly? It turned out that he betrayed us! When I go back, I will definitely cut off his dog's head!"

Until everyone vented their anger, Sun Tu narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you have reached an agreement, why do you still come to persuade me to surrender? Judging from the current situation, am I bound to lose?"
