Chu Ge's approach was very similar to that of Thor, leaving almost all the main forces in the main city, because the operation of large cities requires people, and places with civilians need to be protected.

However, Chu Ge is hugely different from Thor, and it should be said that he has a huge disadvantage. Back then, Thor invested a lot of basic materials in the imperial capital and had long-term plans. But Chu Ge was different. He didn't make too many basic preparations at all. After all, the battle with Jiang Zhi's forces was quite sudden. If Chu Ci hadn't joined him, Chu Ge might have surrendered long ago.
Nowadays, the population of other cities temporarily flooded into the main city, which directly caused the main city's resource consumption to be excessive, and even the provision of basic supplies was under pressure.
If Jiang Feng besieged and failed to attack and delayed, there would be chaos within Chu Ge's main city. Whether they are civilians or officials, they will be more inclined to surrender. Jiang Feng can subdue others without fighting. But Jiang Feng's goal from the beginning was not Chu Ge, but Chu Ci.
In countless previous sieges, Chu Ci basically did not take action, so Jiang Feng and Su Kouye did not even have a chance to fight Chu Ci, let alone catch him. In fact, Chu Ci's overall strength should not be lower than Jiang Feng or Su Kouye, at least it will be difficult to distinguish them in a short period of time. But Chu Ci had been cautious because he had already guessed Jiang Feng's other purpose.
Unifying the Northern Province was just a matter of convenience. Jiang Feng's real purpose was to capture Chu Ci in order to find out the whereabouts of Li Xiuyi.
Because Chu Ci knew that in this world, only Li Xiuyi had the ability to open the space door to the underground world.
This matter started a few months ago. At that time, it was Li Xiuyi who first discovered that Mr. Kong was missing.
One day, Li Xiuyi found Chu Ci in a hurry and said that Mr. Kong was missing.
Chu Ci was very puzzled at that time because he had met Mr. Kong the week before. We haven't seen him for a week, how can we prove that Mr. Kong is missing?
But Li Xiuyi said with certainty that Mr. Kong was missing, but when asked why she was so sure, she couldn't tell. In other words, she was still hiding something.
Chu Ci didn't take Mr. Kong's disappearance seriously. After all, Mr. Kong always came and went without a trace.
In the following days, Mr. Kong still did not appear.
Chu Ci began to pay attention to this matter in his heart. He secretly sent someone to monitor Li Xiuyi and discovered that she had opened a space door and disappeared without a trace after entering. After several days, Li Xiuyi
Then he appeared again and took the initiative to find Chu Ci.
Chu Ci remembered clearly that Li Xiuyi's eyes were red and swollen that day, and he might have been sad for several days.
"Chu Ci, I can only ask you for help now."
This was Li Xiuyi's first judgment, which was to ask Chu Ci for help. Although it turned out that her judgment was completely wrong, she didn't know it at that time.
Because Chu Ci is the most authoritative person in the entire Cross Chamber of Commerce, and he is the head of all branch presidents, that is, the first president.
When the Cross Chamber of Commerce was first established, the first president was Mr. Kong’s first apprentice, Qian Qiu Meng. However, Qian Qiu Meng accidentally broke the rules and tried to investigate Mr. Kong's true identity. As a result, Mr. Kong erased his memory and was expelled from the Cross Chamber of Commerce.
Since then, Chu Ci has become Mr. Kong's favorite disciple, and gradually became the first president.
In terms of prestige, Chu Ci is indeed the most powerful, and other presidents cannot compare to him. Therefore, Li Xiuyi simply consulted with Chu Ci, hoping that Chu Ci would mobilize the entire Cross Chamber of Commerce to prepare to rescue Mr. Kong.
If you want to rescue Mr. Kong, you must know the cause and effect.
Chu Ci had actually wanted to know the truth about Mr. Kong for a long time, but he was afraid of ending up like Qian Qiu Meng, so he didn't dare. But the Li Xiuyi in front of him was the door to the truth. In the past, Li Xiuyi did not dare to tell, but now she is sure that something happened to Mr. Kong, so she is willing to tell the truth. For her, rescuing Mr. Kong is more important than anything else.
After some struggle and brainstorming, Chu Ci finally plucked up the courage and asked Li Xiuyi to tell the truth.
At this point, Chu Ci knew the secret that Mr. Kong had worked so hard to maintain.
Now that we know the truth, the next step should be to summon the elites of the Cross Chamber of Commerce to launch a rescue operation, right?
But Chu Ci suddenly turned against him, and instead of rescuing him, he imprisoned Li Xiuyi in a very secret place and placed divination beads there so that no fortune teller could divine Li Xiuyi's whereabouts. Even Si Taofeng from the Cross Merchant Guild couldn't divine it.
Li Xiuyi regretted it endlessly. She really didn't expect Chu Ci to be that kind of person. Mr. Kong's most proud disciple, why would he be such a person?
Li Xiuyi, who was under house arrest, could not do anything and cried every day. She didn't know yet that it was because of her innocence and ignorance that Chu Ci's courage expanded infinitely, and she launched a rebellion early.
The rebellion of the Cross Chamber of Commerce spread over a wide area, with numerous casualties, including many branch presidents. In the later stages of this rebellion, in order to retain the vitality of the Crusaders, Juecheng took tough measures to launch an internal coup and completely controlled the Crusaders' leadership. Of course, he only dared to do this after making sure that Mr. Kong was missing.
Regarding the rebellion within the Cross Chamber of Commerce, Xia Long, Sitaofeng and others witnessed the entire process. After such an incident, Xia Long was worried about the future of Siro and the Cross Chamber of Commerce. But Si Taofeng was worried about someone else.
That is Li Xiuyi.
In terms of relationship, Si Taofeng and Li Xiuyi didn't have much contact, and they didn't even exchange a few words. To put it simply, there is no friendship. But Mr. Kong once said something to Si Taofeng: Li Xiuyi is my adopted daughter. She is very important to me. She holds the truth about me. If one day I am no longer here, ask Jiang Feng to find her, because she has an ability that Jiang Feng dreams of.
At that time, Mr. Kong actually did not know that something would happen to him. The future he mentioned was several years later. Mr. Kong's lifespan is limited, so he sometimes tells his subordinates things intentionally or unintentionally.
What he said to Si Taofeng was also said to Chu Ci. To put it bluntly, he was worried about Li Xiuyi, but as long as Li Xiuyi had that ability, Jiang Feng would treat Li Xiuyi as his treasure.
But Mr. Kong himself didn’t expect that something would happen to him so soon.
After the rebellion at the Cross Chamber of Commerce, a question has been lingering in Si Taofeng's heart, and that is why Li Xiuyi disappeared too? Why did Chu Ci dare to launch a rebellion?
After thinking about it, Si Taofeng integrated all the clues and analyzed a more likely situation, that is, the truth that Li Xiuyi grasped has been known to Chu Ci. It was precisely because Chu Ci already knew too many truths that he dared to launch a rebellion.
No one in the world dared to conclude that Mr. Kong would never return, not even Juecheng. However, Chu Ci was very sure and insisted on launching a rebellion.
Then, there should be only two endings for Li Xiuyi, one is killed by Chu Ci, and the other is hidden by Chu Ci.
Li Xiuyi's value is still very high. The possibility of Chu Ci killing her is not high. The most likely situation is to hide her.
After coming to this conclusion, Si Taofeng found Jiang Feng and told him his thoughts.
After that, Jiang Feng had already begun to plan how to use Chu songs to elicit Chu Ci.
