Realizing that everyone was looking at her, with eyes that were either teasing, watching the fun, or looking down on her, Miao Shu realized that her tone was a bit harsh just now, and if she offended them, she would be in a more difficult situation. She had to calm down, but her words were still sharp.
It's not that she can't listen to honest advice that may be unpleasant to the ear.
I just can’t stand others bragging about Shen Tang.
"According to what the chief clerk said, Shen is a thorough and thoughtful person who would not do anything to destroy the Great Wall. So, there is no way that the 20,000 soldiers outside the city could be filled with cooks. Otherwise, what good would Shen do? Lead more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command to attack Sibao County and give us military merits?" Miao Shu sent back the chief clerk's words intact. Shen Tang is also a human being, so wouldn't he make mistakes
Boosting others' ambitions will destroy your own prestige!
Xun Ding almost laughed out loud after hearing this.
According to this analysis, Longwu County's rear defense is heavily guarded, and the 20,000 elite troops on the front line are genuine, but these two results are in conflict.
Where did the extra tens of thousands of elite troops come from
Falling from the sky or appearing out of thin air
Or from whom did you borrow it
Just as he finished thinking, he heard Miao Shu say: "The two are real and fake, one must be fake, confusing us..."
The chief clerk looked well-mannered. He was not angry when Miao Shu scolded him in front of everyone. His tone was as calm as before, without any ups and downs. "Why can't it be that the thief Shen borrowed troops from others? You still remember that this guy made friends with many heroes and celebrities in the battle of Xiaocheng. This time he wants to use force against us. He feels that he does not have enough troops, so it is not impossible that he secretly finds someone to borrow troops... Isn't it?"
Xun Ding secretly observed the two of them.
Rather than saying that this scholar is well-mannered, it would be better to say that he does not care about Miao Shu at all, and naturally does not care about her mood.
Miao Shu sneered: "Except for those who died in the battle, all the other allies of Xiaocheng have joined the Dragon Slaying Bureau and are wholeheartedly fighting against the tyrant Zheng Qiao. In terms of closeness, they are all allies of the lord now. How could they betray the alliance and help outsiders?"
It is impossible for anyone to lend troops to Shen Tang.
Besides, there is not enough time.
so-
Everyone's questions inevitably came back to the topic.
Two guesses, which one is false and which one is true
Just as Qiu Cheng was hesitating, Xun Ding, a non-staff member, looked left and right and couldn't help but say, "Isn't it easy to verify this? Aren't their 20,000 soldiers waiting ten miles outside the city? Instead of fighting, can't we find out the truth?"
The situation is urgent, why are you still arguing about these things
Some of what Gong Xichou said does make sense. Those who come from wealthy and powerful families like to do all these fancy things.
It's useless!
According to Xun Ding's temper, he would be ready to go, gather his troops, send elite troops to guard the city, and then lead his troops out of the city to compete with Shen Tang's main force. Whether it is strong or weak, real or fake, you will know it after a fight. Is there any meaning in the intracranial storm alone
How embarrassing would it be to guess wrong after guessing so much
Everyone: “…”
Xun Ding looked doubtful: "Uh, did Xun say something wrong?"
Could it be that these people have forgotten about Shen Tang
It’s not that I forgot, but I definitely didn’t pay enough attention to it.
From the attack on the Nanyu County granary, it was clear that they were used to looking down on Shen Tang. Deep down, they were from high-class families and looked down on the grass-roots troupe. Even though Shen Tang later showed off his skills, they were still unable to completely dispel their arrogance.
Linshan County, city wall.
Prime Minister Qiu, with a stern look on his face, led his men up the tower. They stood still and looked in the direction of Shen Tang's army. Although the darkness blocked their view, they could still see a row of flags in the distance. They were densely packed and moving in the wind. The air was also stained with a silent murderous atmosphere.
He glanced down at the wall again.
The cold wind blows on my face and the flags flutter.
Sibao County was a place where wars frequently occurred, and the city wall of Linshan County had also been through several wars. Although it had been repaired, the traces of war damage could still be seen after several repairs. The wall surface was bumpy, and the city wall was either missing a corner here or there.
News from the front came one by one along with the scouts.
Shen Tang's army didn't seem to have any intention of fighting directly. Instead, they were cooking ten miles away. The smoke from the cooking was curling, the fragrance of rice was everywhere, and there was a smell of fireworks. For Qiu Cheng, it was equivalent to a provocation. The vulgar translation was - Don't be impatient, little bastard, wait for your father to eat. If you can't wait, you can come over now, otherwise wait until I'm full and then fight over.
Qiu Cheng remained calm, and no one else said anything either.
Miao Shu then asked, "How is their military formation?"
If the formation is loose, there will be opportunities to take advantage.
A full meal can make people feel lazy and relaxed.
It takes a lot of courage to cook at such a close distance.
The scout clasped his fists and bowed his head to report.
"There is order and uniformity."
Even in such a relaxed atmosphere, Shen Tang's army did not relax, forcing the scouts not to get too close.
Miao Shu asked again: "Is this true for the entire army?"
If there were indeed commoners who were filling in the numbers, they would have never received formal training and would naturally not be able to synchronize their actions with the elite troops who followed orders. This would be very conspicuous and would be a flaw. However, the scout's response was not what she wanted.
"It is the same for everyone. No one seems to be lax or lazy..."
Miao Shu clenched her fists: "How could this be?"
No one is just filling in the gaps
The only good news at the moment is that Shen Tang did not launch a sudden attack, giving Qiu Cheng time to further improve his deployment.
It’s not that Shen Tang likes to waste time, it’s simply because “sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood” - although the fight between the Vanguard Battalion and Xun Ding was short, it consumed a lot of energy. Shen Tang’s martial energy has not yet fully recovered, and Jiang Shengwen Palace also needs to slow down, so he might as well eat first.
"Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry. This is a wise saying. It is true." Shen Tang heard the news that the enemy scouts were approaching from time to time, but he was not in a hurry. He lowered his head to enjoy the food, chewing every bite carefully, as if the coarse grains in his hand were some kind of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. "Hehe, Qiu Wenyan probably doesn't have the mood to eat right now, it would be best if he choked to death with one mouthful."
"My lord, aren't you afraid of their surprise attack?"
From time to time, Lu Jue turned his head and looked towards the city.
He had already been ready to make a move.
This was his first time on the battlefield since the battle of Yonggu Pass two years ago. How could a general accumulate military merits without fighting? How could he become stronger without accumulating military merits? With military merits just around the corner, how could he think about eating? But since his lord didn't allow him to move, he could only suppress his thoughts.
The meal tasted like chewing wax.
Shen Tang was very open-minded and said with a smile: "It would be better if they took the initiative to attack us, so that we don't have to run ten more miles... What does ten miles mean? WeChat Sports step count is definitely the best! Aren't you tired from walking? Eat, eat, only when you are full can you have strength."
The reasons she gave were absurd, funny and puzzling.
Because Shen Tang would say some weird things from time to time, Lu Jue was not surprised and it was enough for him to understand the general meaning.
After eating and drinking, no enemy troops came.
Shen Tang patted his waist with regret and said, "Tsk, Qiu Wenyan is such a coward! He didn't take such a good opportunity, what a coward!"
Of course, if he dares to come, I’ll knock his head off!
I was admitted to the hospital on the 14th.
Shiitake mushrooms try to save a few drafts_(:з」∠)_
I guess not many, just two or three chapters.
The less time you can take off, the better.
The plot may, probably, or perhaps, be a little watery (whispering quietly, actually, in the late pregnancy I always felt that my brain was not enough, and I had already thought of a lot of vocabulary and plots, but as soon as my hands touched the keyboard, I forgot everything. I just think of it as water in my brain, which diluted the plot).
I’ll wait for the mushroom spores to fall to the ground, take a break, and come back to give you all a big surprise!
