How terrifying is Kang Shi when he is full of anger
Qian Yong knew it, and Shen Tang knew it too.
But the first person to know was Jiang Sheng, who was good at observing qi.
"My Lord, do you want an umbrella?"
Shen Tang: “…”
She was about to leave the tent when she immediately retracted her left foot, quietly poked her head out, and carefully looked up at the sky. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see any circling birds. She asked, "Why do you need an umbrella again? Where did Kang Jishou go again?"
With the previous experience as a lesson, when Shen Tang heard Jiang Sheng asking if he wanted an umbrella, she automatically translated it into "My lord, Kang Jishou is out having fun again, you're about to get into trouble", and she felt like crying but had no tears.
He gnashed his teeth and said, "No, didn't I tell him to act according to circumstances? Qiu Cheng's troops are stuck in Xiaocheng and can't leave. Where can he find a strong enemy that would cost him a lot of luck?"
Jiang Sheng didn't answer.
I just feel sorry for the dark lord.
Before he could say anything to comfort her, Shen Tang had already found an excuse for Kang Shi and said worriedly, "But Ji Shou is not a person without sense of propriety. It looks like he is in real trouble. I am fine here, but I wonder how he is."
In Shen Tang's opinion, Kang Shi's use of the Way of the Scholars would only bring her bad luck for a while, but it would affect Kang Shi's life and the lives of his soldiers. She knew what was more important. After some self-comfort (PUA), Shen Tang felt much better, and Jiang Sheng then expressed his speculation: "Sheng is worried that Ji Shou and the others will run into the reinforcements invited by Qiu Cheng."
"It sounds like something that Ji Shou's bad luck would encounter..."
Liao Jia said, "So, Ji Shou is in danger?"
Shen Tang waved his hand pretending to be calm.
"Jishou has legs. He will run away when he sees the situation is not good. He is not the kind of person who loses his mind when he is blinded by gambling."
He is a gambler who always keeps his head above water.
Shen Tang added: "Instead of worrying about Ji Shou, we should worry about ourselves. If Ji Shou really encounters Qiu Cheng's reinforcements, then there must be a reason why Qiu Cheng has been hiding in the past few days despite being scolded. He is planning to use the tactic of 'delay', so shameless... If Longwu County cannot defend itself, we will have to retreat, and then it will be Qiu Wenyan's turn to show off his power..."
For example, cooperate with reinforcements to attack from the front and back.
Shen Tang will be in a completely passive position.
"I think Qiu Wenyan's party is just thinking this way. Unfortunately, he overestimates himself and his allies, and underestimates us. Xiaocheng and Sibao County, I must take them!"
As his luck was bad, Shen Tang simply stayed at the owner's account.
However, the progress of the tunnel construction still needs to be monitored at all times. This matter is handed over to the experienced Gu Chi and Jiang Sheng for supervision. This time there are more people than the Shiwu, and the efficiency is higher and the progress is faster. The only trouble is that it is necessary to avoid the scouts of Xiaocheng. Once they find that the camp is transporting soil out, the tunnel plan will be directly invalidated.
Shen Tang rarely urged the project to be completed several times in one day.
"When will it be better?"
Xun Zhen and Liao Jia were in charge of military affairs in the barracks. They came every day to hand over their work to Shen Tang: "There are still three days left."
"Three days?"
"Jia was also surprised. Normally it would take at least two months."
If we can successfully transport troops to the enemy city without anyone noticing, and attack from the inside and outside when attacking the city, and stab Qiu Cheng in the back while the main force is restraining him, I wonder how much trouble we can save. It will greatly reduce the difficulty of taking Xiaocheng.
Shen Tang bit his lip and made an extremely bold decision.
"… In this case, let the challenger try harder. After three days, if Qiu Wenyan, the coward, doesn't respond, we will try to attack him forcefully and tear his turtle shell apart!"
"Don't fight, attack with force?"
Liao Jia almost thought he was hallucinating.
Without the morale bonus of the fighting generals, the difficulty of a strong attack is unimaginable, because the most fatal point is the siege equipment.
Without sufficient siege equipment, how could one scale the several-meter-high city wall? How could one open the caverns that were blocked by piles of stones
The siege equipment gathered by the army's original morale is far from enough. Even if we bring some siege equipment, they are few in number and their quality cannot be compared with the equipment gathered by morale. The lord's decision is too reckless.
Liao Jia was not in a hurry to refute Shen Tang's idea.
He patiently stated the pros and cons.
After saying that, he was ready to listen to Shen Tang's ideas.
If what the lord says makes sense, then of course it is acceptable.
Shen Tang said: "Shao Mei forgot that morale boost does not necessarily require victory in a fight. We still have a second option!"
However, Liao Jia did not come to his senses.
He said: "Even if we have Xiandeng, Hanzhang, Wangchao and I in command of the army, no matter how abundant the cultural energy in our palace is, the morale boost we can give to the army of more than 10,000 is limited, and the time is short, not enough to support a siege war..."
If the siege reached a stalemate, they could easily fight for a day or two before calling off the battle. Not to mention the four of them, even if there were four more, they would be exhausted. Liao Jia couldn't figure out where his lord's confidence came from, so he wanted to find out.
Soon, he knew the answer.
The Lord said: "I will lead the army in person."
Liao Jia almost didn't hear clearly: "What?"
"I say—lead the army in person!"
Shen Tang is not an ordinary leader.
She is the ruler of a country and has the qualifications!
Liao Jia: “!!!”
After the shock came one sentence: "Absolutely not!"
Leading the army in person is a domain unique to the national seal. Before the three armies, the king can activate the national seal and issue orders to boost the morale of the three armies. Depending on the soldiers' loyalty to the king, the extent of the boost is equivalent to one to three victories in duels.
Shen Tang boasted that he was a qualified lord. Although he didn't love his soldiers like his own sons, he never treated them unfairly. Given their loyalty, it was not a problem to get a guarantee. She said, "I know it's risky, but we can't just be passive..."
Although Shen Tang said that Kang Jishou would be able to run by himself when he grew legs, he was really worried that something might happen to him, and that Longwu County would be lost.
We must capture Xiaocheng as quickly as possible and then return for support.
If you lose your territory, you can fight again.
Once a person dies, he can never come back.
But it was not just Liao Jia who opposed, the other three military advisors also voted against it. Gu Chi said bluntly: "Chi is looking forward to the day when the lord will lead the army in person, but not now when he is still young and weak. Qiu Wenyan is a gravel, not a roadblock, he is not qualified!"
"I will not reveal the Great Seal..."
Gu Chi said: "Zheng Qiao will know that he is not dead yet. Once the lord is exposed, he can even divert the blame and change the target of the dragon-slaying scheme from him to you. Lord, take Xiaocheng, and the next target will be Zheng Qiao and the national seal in his hand."
This step must be taken steadily. If it is taken successfully, the four states of Ling, Qian, Yan and Kun will have half the confidence.
“Don’t lose the big picture for the small.”
Shen Tang lowered his eyes: "Ji Shou and the others are not 'little'."
Gu Chi almost laughed out of anger, and bluntly said to Shen Tang: "My Lord, do you still remember that Kang Jishou's 'Losing Every Gamble' is a bet on your luck? No matter who dies, it will not be his turn to see the King of Hell. Because before he sees the King of Hell, the Lord will go to the underworld first. Chu Wuhui was one of the three heroes back then, and Qi Yuanliang was also a famous 'evil plotter'. Which of them looks like they will die young?"
Shen Tang: “…”
With so many debuffs, she looks more like a short-lived ghost.
_(:з」∠)_
Shen Tang covered his face: "Then how can we get Qiu Cheng to accept the challenge?"
Gu Chi: "Let's start with Gong Xichou."
Shen Tang wanted to roll his eyes: "He doesn't take any provocation."
"Isn't he looking for his tribe's sacred object everywhere?"
Shen Tang: “…”

As soon as I get out of confinement, I’ll go get a beautiful manicure.
