Chapter 598 Returning in vain
Chapter 598 Returning without success
Zheng Wei ordered the siege, but they fought hard. Wu Ling'er and the others came from a long boat, so they could not carry large-scale siege equipment and had to preserve their strength for future events. As a result, they would have been tickling all day long, leaving only some traces on the walls of Jiujiang City. Jiujiang's gates were still solid and indestructible.
Han Shidi didn't even show his face, only Han Qingwu was commanding on the city tower. It was the first time that the generals guarding the city had seen such an absurd siege. He asked Han Qingwu in a strange way, "Mr. Qingwu, what do they mean? This offensive is not enough to tickle us?"
Han Qingwu looked at the ruins outside the city with condescending condescending eyes and smiled tolerantly, "Princess Danyang is still a child. If you think about the child wanting the same thing as you. If you don't give it to her, she will act coquettishly with you. If you ignore her, she will make a bigger noise to attract your attention, or cause some trouble to make you angry, so as to achieve her goal."
"Then why didn't she attack the city with all her strength? Although those soldiers were not as good as us, it could be seen that they were tempered on the battlefield. If they attacked with all their strength, they might be able to really force their lord out!" the general asked again.
"Yes, why didn't she attack the city with all her might?" Han Qingwu murmured to himself, pondering for a moment, and instructing the generals to wake up. He went back to the city to see Han Shidi.
At this time, Zheng Wei was helpless. She knew that Han Shidi was deliberately hiding and not wanting to come out to see her. Moreover, the timing was wrong, and their troops were limited and they could not attack the city with all their strength.
Since the meeting cannot be completed, what else can she do?
When the sunset was setting, the army yelled gold and retreated. When they returned to the garrison, it was already dark. Everyone was busy building tents and burying pots to make rice. Zheng Wei disappeared. Wu Ling'er searched everywhere and ran to ask Zhao Mingzhi, "Master Zhao, do you see the princess?"
Zhao Mingzhi listened to the work in his hands and took the time to look up and look back at her, "I guess he was frustrated and felt uncomfortable, so I hid."
"I'm also frustrated in this battle, but I can't blame her. How could we be so many people in the city? There is something possible for a surprise attack!" Wu Ling'er said, turning around and walking out, "I'll find her and coax her!"
The curtain was lifted from inside, and Zhao Mingzhi changed into a strong suit and looked at her with a long sword in his hand.
The soldier who worked with him came up and asked curiously, "Sir, why are you laughing at?"
"Master. Are you going out?" Zheng Wei was surprised.
"I have seen a man who was destroyed by the harsh political family in Jiujiang. I think he is not the only one. I think General Han established harsh political system to shock him. After all, there were constant wars in the past few years, and he was fighting abroad all year round, so he was inevitably unable to take care of Jiujiang. I think this strict law has achieved results in the first few years, and Jiujiang City even had a reputation of not closing its doors at night. I think they disdain these dog holes."
Not long after, Zheng Wei seemed to have made up her mind. She stood up and looked at the night sky again, murmured softly: "Since you can't stop it, then let's break it!"
"I just couldn't bear to let go!" Zheng Wei's tone was a little sad. She couldn't bear to let go of the memories of the years in the Martial Arts Academy, and she couldn't bear to let more people in the Great Zhou Dynasty leave their wives and children and their families die.
Wu Ling'er knew what she was going to do and wanted to object. Zheng Wei shook her head, "Ling'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, and the army cannot leave you. I will ask my master to accompany me, don't worry!"
Wu Ling'er's words were like a pot of cold water pouring on her head, which was really enlightening!
"You are planning." Before Wu Ling'er finished speaking, Zheng Wei interrupted her and looked at her eyes and said seriously: "If I don't come back tomorrow, remember to cut off all contacts between Jiujiang and the outside as we had planned, and wait for reinforcements!"
Wu Ling'er swallowed the food in her mouth, shook her head and made a tsk sound, "I didn't expect that there were so many dog holes in Jiujiang City under General Han's rule!"
Wu Ling'er shook her head, trying to say something but didn't know where to start, so she could only sit quietly with her.
Zheng Wei left and asked the patrolman Zhao Mingzhi's camp tent casually. Outside the camp, Zheng Wei wriggled for a moment before asking, "Master, have you rested?"
Wu Ling'er was awakened by this sound, wiped her face, turned her head to look at Zheng Wei and said, "Do you think he has not seen you, you have already answered? Even if you see him, telling him your guesses will not change anything?"
Zheng Wei heard that Wu Ling'er, a daughter of a general, had no reaction at all, and lowered her head and continued to look, "You don't know how strict Jiujiang's laws are. Even if you steal a cake, you will be fined at the least, you will be confiscated money, and you will be punished at the worst. And it will be a military stick. Liu Wei stole a bun and was punished for one month of corvee service for his Liu family."
Wu Ling'er didn't understand, but this was not the thing they were most concerned about at this time. She put down the rice in the bowl, wiped her hands with a cloth towel, and simply asked, "What do you want to do?"
Zheng Wei murmured, and his hand fell on the map and stroked along a thin line, all the way to Jiujiang City.
"Since you won't attack the city these days, you can only find another way!"
"Sister A Wei, why are you here?" Wu Ling'er jumped down and sat next to her, and looked at her eyes, "What are you looking at?"
The soldier was confused when he heard this, shook his head and helped Zhao Mingzhi pull down the rope of the tent and tied it to death.
This was the first time Wu Ling'er saw her so helpless. She hugged her with distress and whispered to her, "These things have nothing to do with you. The minds of these men are nothing more than power and status. Why do you have to go through this muddy water!"
Zhao Mingzhi looked at her running away with a blink of an eye, and did not stop her, but just smiled and shook her head.
Fragility was only a moment, and she wiped her face embarrassedly and said embarrassedly: "Isn't this very pretentious?"
Zheng Wei was a little confused for a moment, "Then what else can I do?"
Wu Ling'er raised her head from the map in surprise, "So strict? How can ordinary people withstand military sticks?"
Zheng Wei cheered up and pulled Wu Ling'er back to the camp. The two of them held a bowl of food, and looked at the not-so-fine maps on the tables with their heads.
Suddenly, Zheng Wei's voice sounded in his ears, "How much noise did you think it would make the turtle shrunk out?"
Zhao Mingzhi lowered his head and continued to work, muttering to himself: "You General Wu still doesn't know this princess very well. She usually doesn't hide and cry when she feels uncomfortable. She is thinking of a ghost idea!"
Wu Ling'er finally found Zheng Wei sitting in a not-so-deep pit, holding her knees and looking up at the starry sky.
Zheng Wei shook his head and didn't say anything. The two of them sat quietly for a while. Wu Ling'er couldn't open her eyes and slowly leaned on Zheng Wei's shoulder and fell asleep.
"Fortunately, you didn't leave alone!" Zhao Mingzhi said instead.
Zheng Wei was embarrassed when he heard this. The master knew that he would not give up. He guessed that she would take action, so he was ready to go with him.
"Whether you want to try again today or make a decision, your master must follow you!" Zhao Mingzhi's tone was a little scared, "I will never allow things four years ago to happen again!"
Zheng Wei knew that he had never left her alone in the back mountain of Luoxia Temple.
