After all, he had done a lot of trespassing things like setting up private gold accounts in the past.

In the past, Emperor Meng Yuan was beyond his reach and had no choice but to turn a blind eye. Now if he retreats to the grassland and Emperor Meng Yuan investigates him, what will he do?

Besides, even if Emperor Meng Yuan did not pursue his past transgressions, people like him had actually established their own business long ago. Now if I want to go back and work under the nose of Emperor Meng Yuan, I'm afraid I won't even want to kill him.

It's like a person who has been a boss can no longer work for others.

Naha disagreed with the general's words in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. Instead, he responded with a faint smile to show that he was thinking about it. Now is the time to work together, and Naha is unwilling to let the generals separate from him.

When the general saw that the captain was acting like this, he didn't want to say anything more and silently sat back in his seat.

Naha saw that he was sensible and was unwilling to say anything more on this issue.

The banquet continues!

Outside the city, there were many people in the handsome tent. Except for those who stayed in Daning, everyone else came.

Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu, Zhu Di, Wang Bi, Guo Ying and others all had silent expressions on their faces and said nothing. The entire commander's tent was eerily silent.

Everyone saw the siege during the day today. Although this Naha Chu was from Meng Yuan, he was really good at defending the city, and he actually defended the city watertight.

Although it was a tentative attack, it was extremely rare to be able to prevent the Ming army from even reaching the top of the city.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Fu Youde glanced at him and said to Feng Sheng: "General, judging from today's situation, it would be difficult for us to break through this city without cannons. The army only has enough food and grass for one month. We need it, if we don’t have food and grass, we may not be able to besiege Naha Chu.”

After finishing speaking, he continued to look at Feng Sheng, waiting for his decision.

There are two problems now, one is cannon and the other is food and grass.

Before Feng Sheng could speak, Zhu Di interjected: "Both grain, grass and artillery need to be transported from Daning. It has begun to rain and the roads are difficult to travel. Even if we start transporting now, it may not be possible in January." The grain, fodder and cannon will be delivered within."

This is what everyone is worried about. It is not easy to transport food, grass and artillery. In Liaodong, where there is no road, it is even more difficult to deliver things in the rain-soaked mud.

"What good strategy does His Highness King Yan have?" Feng Sheng asked after seeing Zhu Di's clear analysis.

Zhu Di smiled reservedly, he naturally had a solution, otherwise he wouldn't have rashly spoken out to draw everyone's attention to himself. For a frontier king like him, if he wanted to improve his position in his father's heart, the method was actually the same as that of a military general, which was to perform meritorious service.

His father has been planning for a long time this time to go to Naha. If he can play a key role in this, he will definitely win his father's favor.

"I believe that Jinshan is much closer to here than Daning. If Han Du conquers Jinshan City, he will definitely get the food, grass and baggage in the city, and he also has cannons in his hands. Why not order Han Du to send the food, grass and cannons?"

After Zhu Di finished speaking, everyone was still thinking carefully about whether it was feasible, but Lan Yu immediately retorted: "Handu needs to garrison Jinshan and cut off Naha's escape route. If he doesn't have cannons, how can he hold Jinshan? As for transporting grain and grass, he has no troops. Not much, and the attack on Jinshan will definitely result in a lot of damage. If we send people to transport food and grass, won't Jinshan become an empty city?"

If Jinshan is empty, if Naha breaks out, then Jinshan will be in danger. Lan Yu naturally didn't want Han Du to fall into such a situation, so he was the first to stand up and object.

At the same time, Lan Yu is hostile to Zhu Di. Because he knew that Han Du would be in danger if he did so, but he still said it. Lan Yu was an upright person, so naturally she glared at Zhu Di with dissatisfaction.

Facing Lan Yu's aggressive gaze, Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, and then chuckled softly: "Handu's original role in garrisoning Jinshan was to block Naha Chu's retreat, but now Naha Chu is tightly besieged here by us, and Jinshan is also There is no need to block anymore. It is better to transport cannons and food to assist the city."

Seeing that Lan Yu was about to confront Zhu Di, Feng Sheng quickly waved his words to suppress him. After all, Zhu Di is the King of Yan. If there is a conflict with Lan Yu here, it will be difficult for him, the general, to explain. After pondering for a moment, he said: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, is right. Instead of wasting our troops on Jinshan, it is better to bring the grain, grass and artillery together and concentrate all our efforts to attack Nahachu."

Seeing that Lan Yu wanted to speak, Feng Sheng directly ordered: "Lanyu."

"The general is here." Although Lan Yu was a little reluctant, she still lowered her head and clasped her fists in response to Feng Sheng's order.

"You lead 20,000 light cavalry to Jinshan and escort Han Du to bring the grain, grass and artillery." Feng Sheng said.

Anyway, the cavalry is of little use when attacking a city. Instead of doing this, it is better to let the cavalry escort food and grass. In this way, Lan Yu can rest assured.

After hearing such an order, Lan Yu didn't say anything more and agreed directly. After taking the general order from Feng Sheng, she turned around and left the commander's camp, preparing to order troops and set off.

...

Jinshan City.

Han Du would come to inspect the city wall several times every day. This does not mean that Han Du was very responsible for the defense of the city wall. He didn't know how to attack and defend the city at all. When he first repaired the city wall, Han Du came up with many useful ideas during his daily inspections. But Tang Ding was all in charge of how to mobilize troops for defense.

The reason for this is that as Han Du stayed in Jinshan City, he gradually felt a kind of fear. Whenever night falls, I always feel that this is the only place in the world that is extremely lonely. I don’t know if Li Zengzhi sent the news to Feng Sheng, and I don’t even know how Feng Sheng will make a decision. I always feel that when I wake up, the Mongols will be surrounded from all sides.

Seeing that Han Du was about to leave the city gate building, Tang Ding grabbed him.

Han Du looked back at Tang Ding in confusion, wondering what he wanted to do.

Tang Ding grinned and said: "Brother Han, we have ordered all the defenses on the city wall, so you don't have to worry. Come, let's have a few drinks on the top of the city."

Han Du looked at the food and wine in front of him, and then at Tang Ding. Seeing his calm smile, Han Du suddenly felt calmer. Thinking that I was indeed a little too nervous these days, I changed my mind and smiled, nodded and said, "Okay."

Then he and Tang Ding walked to the table and sat down across from each other.

The two of them were sitting high up at the city gate, and through the space between them, they could just see the endless black land outside the city.
