Jin Ruiyun thought about it, but couldn't find a good solution. It's very similar to Wu Nian's helplessness when he was just surrounded. He had no choice but to wave his hand and let the soldiers go down first, then walked along the corridor to the study and sat down, continuing to think.
This sitting is an afternoon.
Jin Ruiyun didn't notice it until it got dark, and he was thinking hard about countermeasures. Until a soldier came in from outside and cautiously saluted: "General. Dinner is ready."
Jin Ruiyun woke up and found that it was already dark. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was not anxious when he was surrounded, but he was worried when he was surrounded.
Could it be that the emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuchs were?
"I know. I'll be there right away." Jin Ruiyun waved his hand and let the soldiers go down. After he stood up, he felt dizzy, but it turned out that he was already hungry and had no energy.
Jin Ruiyun composed himself, stood up, and walked out of the room. At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded. Jin Ruiyun's brows furrowed deeply.
What else happened?
"General. General Li sent someone to ask if he could send troops to test Wu Nian or destroy Wu Nian's crops."
A soldier rushed to Jin Ruiyun, knelt down on one knee and reported.
Jin Ruiyun's expression suddenly changed.
Now in Goguryeo, the Queen Mother Li Jinzhu listens to the government behind the curtain, and the power of the Li family is overwhelming. General Li's name is Li Yunchong, a sibling of the Queen Mother, and the commander-in-chief of Goguryeo this time.
"Send Chen Xiuyuan to stop him. We must not let him send troops." Jin Ruiyun waved his sleeves and said with a strong voice.
"Yes." The soldier swallowed his saliva, responded loudly, stood up and turned around to leave.
"Damn Goguryeo. Although they have some strength, they are countrymen and have little knowledge. Even I dare not send troops to test Wu Nian. He has a few pounds and a few taels, but he actually wants to send troops to test."
"This is like a meat bun beating a dog. There is no return."
Jin Ruiyun cursed loudly.
When the forces are equal or have a slight advantage. Neither Chunyuan nor Jin Ruiyun dared to fight with Wu Nian. It was even more impossible for them to send a small army to test Wu Nian.
And now they have nearly 90,000 people surrounding Wu Nian, and their military strength is already stretched thin. If troops and horses are lost, something goes wrong in the encirclement.
That's a total loser.
They have no options left. Losing would be equivalent to giving up to Guangyang Mansion.
"Don't do stupid things, idiot." After Jin Ruiyun scolded him, he looked up in the direction of Li Yunchong and prayed secretly.
Perhaps Jin Ruiyun's prayer had an effect, but Li Yunchong did not take any action.
However, Jin Ruiyun and other Meng Yuan households had no way to break the situation, and there was no fundamental progress on Chunyuan's front.
The defense of Nanhai Mansion under Wu Nian was stable.
It is summer.
As time goes by, I see the crops outside Wu Nianyangwucheng growing vigorously and green. This repeated cycle may take ten years.
Goguryeo's patience was consuming little by little.
In a valley. A large camp stands. On the camp gates on both sides, there are flags with the word "李" standing, which is the Goguryeo camp.
Although Jin Ruiyun looked down on Goguryeo soldiers, in fact, Goguryeo's army was still capable and not a weak force.
Just like this camp. Although the weather is very hot now, the soldiers standing guard and patrolling are not only tall and strong, but also energetic, and they dare not show any signs of neglect.
But here's the bad thing.
A person with strength, of course, has a temper.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Goguryeo general Li Yunchong convened a meeting among the generals.
Li Yunchong's face is like a full moon, his eyes are like stars, and he has three long flowing beards. He is extremely majestic and exudes the aura of nobility.
There was a "pop" sound. Li Yunchong raised his right hand and slapped it on the coffee table. His face turned red and he said angrily: "What kind of fighting nation? I think they are bears."
"Ninety thousand soldiers, a total of ninety thousand soldiers, surrounded Wu Nian. But they just stood aside and watched Wu Nian plowing the fields, doing nothing."
"Does he think our food is brought by the wind?"
He is a standard aristocratic child. He reads poetry and books after a small meal, is proficient in Sinology, and writes articles that are no less than those of the Jinshi of Chu State.
The Goguryeo people call themselves "Xiao Zong". Now that the Li clan is powerful, it is not unusual for someone like him to appear.
What's strange is that he also studies military science and is pretty good at it. The marching formation is not top-notch, but it is still excellent.
Queen Mother Li Jinzhu naturally knew that "military power cannot be lent to others", but she had to send people to eat the fat meat of the Second Mansion promised by the Meng Yuan people.
So she selected Li Yunchong as a general among her own clan to lead the army on the expedition.
With Li Yunchong's background, he naturally looked down on the Meng Yuan barbarians. It's just that in the face of interests, it's not impossible to cooperate with barbarians.
But the beginning was beautiful, and the ending disappointed him.
The Mongolian people are known as a fighting nation. They clearly surrounded Wu Nian, but they could do nothing.
Of course, he was also surprised by Wu Nian's ability to lead troops. Under such circumstances, Wu Nianjun was unshakable and could still farm.
It's incredible.
But this is no reason to sit back and watch. Either lead 90,000 troops and fight Wu Nian decisively. Or send people to harass Wu Nian and destroy crops.
If this continues, not only will the food supply be unsustainable. Problems will gradually arise in Goguryeo.
The power of the Li family is overwhelming, and it seems that they can cover the sky with only one hand, but in fact they are walking on thin ice. Secretly, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at them. If they are not careful, they will destroy themselves.
The longer the delay is, the more detrimental it will be to the Li family.
"The general is right. Please let me lead three thousand elite soldiers under my command to Yangwu City to harass Wu Nian. If I have the chance, I will destroy his crops. If I don't have the chance, I will tire him."
General Pu Mingshan stood up, bent down and clasped his fists and said loudly.
Li Yunchong's eyes lit up, and his heart was about to move.
"General. I object. We have never fought against Wu Nian, so we don't know what is real. But looking at the reaction of the Meng Yuan people, Wu Nian can remain motionless despite being surrounded. The Liaodong Tigers are definitely not someone to take lightly."
"We are short of food, so we must either borrow food from the Mongolians or withdraw our troops. We must not divide our troops to harass them." General Zhao Mancheng stood up and objected with clasped fists.
Pu Mingshan was a warrior with a ferocious face, a tall figure and excellent martial arts skills.
Zhao Mancheng has white skin and red lips, a handsome face, a long flowing beard, a tall and burly figure, and extraordinary momentum.
He comes from a well-known family, has both civil and military skills, and is very famous in the military.
"The Meng Yuan barbarians. How can we humble ourselves and borrow food from them?"
"We sent troops to the Yalu River with great force, hoping to kill the Liaodong Tigers and seize the land of the Second Prefecture. But we retreated without a fight. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to go back?" Pu Mingshan raised his head, showing his unruly expression. color.
"Being ridiculed is better than sending troops to harass Wu Nian and then being defeated." Zhao Mancheng said with a deep frown.
"How could I, the dignified Pu Mingshan, be defeated by Wu Nian." Pu Mingshan sneered, pressing the handle of the knife at his waist with his left hand, holding his head high and chest high, confident that he was tyrannical.
"How can the Tiger of Liaodong be a mere idler? Besides, he has five elite soldiers of ten thousand households. Although they are all infantry, they may include scout horses and small-scale cavalry. If you go to destroy or harass his crops, he might You will lead the cavalry to attack. Once you are defeated, we will be completely in chaos."
Zhao Mancheng argued hard.
"You said it too. Small cavalry. And it may not be heavy armored cavalry. I led three thousand elite soldiers there, which is enough to match them."
Pu Mingshan shook his head, with a look like "I can't listen to any opinions". He stopped talking to Zhao Manjing, turned to look at Li Yunchong, bent down and clasped his fists and said: "Please general, let me out. I Keep them in mind and kill them all, destroying Wu Nian's crops, and the whole army will come back."
