The top leaders of Nuer City held an emergency meeting to discuss the army led by Jiang Ze.
Some people take the lead in fighting. After all, they have already been bullied to the extreme, so there is no reason not to fight back. Moreover, the other party massacred two cities. If this revenge is not avenged, the people of the country will definitely be heartbroken.
But some people focus on defense, because Nuer City has only more than 20,000 troops. It is no problem to defend and ambush the enemy, but if you want to take the initiative to attack, you may not get much benefit.
City Lord Chu Donglai basically frowned during the meeting. In the past, Chu Donglai would not have had such troubles at all. However, because Xiang Mao took away 100,000 troops to aid Zhao, Nuer City was now out of strength.
After a meeting, what the main militant group said was very reasonable, and what the main defensive group said was also very reasonable.
For a moment, Chu Donglai didn't know what to do.
Finally, Chu Donglai decided to send a messenger to Yecheng, the capital, to seek instructions from the King of Chu.
At the same time, he issued two orders. First, send 10,000 troops from Nuer City to supplement them in Dal City. Second, let all affiliated towns in Dal City evacuate as soon as possible, all soldiers gather in Dal City as soon as possible, and all civilians go directly west to take refuge in Nuer City.
Dal City is the neighboring city of Nuer City, and Dal City is located in the east of Nuer City. The two are not far apart. Each of the two cities has a high tower and is known as the City of Twin Towers. Usually when war breaks out, the two cities are dependent on each other and act as horns to each other.
Dal City currently has about 10,000 troops. If all the surrounding small cities gather together, the strength can be increased by another 2,000.
This was the first time Chu Donglai had made such a decision, abandoning dozens of small towns at once.
In the past, every small town had at least a hundred soldiers placed and equipped with enough artillery shells. The purpose is to delay the enemy's speed and consume the enemy's armor durability, ash ore boulders of siege equipment, etc. But because of Jiang Ze's massacre policy, the soldiers in the small town no longer had the courage to resist. Since several small towns had surrendered on their own initiative, Chu Donglai could only abandon all the small towns in Dal City and integrate all the troops and resources. In this way, the soldiers' confidence will rise again.
On the other side, Jiang Ze was also integrating his troops. They began to gather troops, surrendered troops, and surrendered civilians into Zhonger City.
Zhonger City is the largest of all the small towns, and it is also the closest city to Dal City.
The purpose of gathering troops here is already obvious.
However, Jiang Ze did not rush to make new military actions this time. Instead, he held a celebration banquet to reward the soldiers.
Jiang Ze was very happy today. He drank a lot of wine at the banquet and got himself drunk.
A deputy commander sent Jiang Ze to a hotel and asked him to sleep well. Before leaving, the deputy commander told the female guard at the door: "Keep vigil. If the commander has any needs, you must meet them."
"yes."
After the deputy commander left, one of the female guards asked curiously: "Do you understand what the deputy commander said?"
"I understand, it's just a vigil. If the leader has any instructions, we will just do it."
"But what the deputy leader said is, if the leader has needs, do you think the leader will have those needs, and then we must meet them?"
"Are you... thinking wrong?"
"I'm just making an analogy."
"Why do I think you are looking forward to it?"
"Don't you have any thoughts?"
"I... I haven't thought about it... I'd better do my job. I don't think you should think too much. The leader is already drunk and unconscious."
"Okay." The female guard said disappointedly.
On the other side, Jiang Ze was in the room, lying on the bed with his eyes open.
At the banquet, he pretended to be happy and nonchalant, but the fact was that he was still thinking about that matter, Luo Erhu's matter.
Three days have passed since Luo Erhu was last sent to Xiao'er City.
Luo Erhu's subordinates said that Luo Erhu had not eaten or drank a drop of water for three days. He said that he would not eat unless his elder brother came to see him and give him an explanation in person.
In fact, Jiang Ze knew very well that Luo Erhu was just angry.
For new humans, not eating or drinking water for three days is not life-threatening, but the pain is still terrible.
Jiang Ze sometimes wonders how Luo Erhu can go without eating for three days if he feels hungry if he doesn't eat even one meal.
Is this matter really so important to him?
Do you have to go and give him an explanation in person?
On the other side, on the watchtower on the west wall of Zhonger City, Gu Nian was still fully armed and was looking at the west with a telescope.
At this time, Li Xiuwen flew over and landed next to Gu Nian.
"Second sister-in-law, are you still paying attention to what's going on in the west?"
"Yes, everyone in the city is relaxing now. If Dal City launches a surprise attack at this time, we will suffer."
"Brother said that it is absolutely impossible for Dal City to launch a surprise attack now. At least half of their troops have been invested in patrolling the main roads."
"why is that?"
"Because the small towns to the west, north, and south of Dal City have to be emptied, they are asking civilians to move to the west, and then soldiers move to Dal City. They are afraid of us harassing them, so they have set up an ambush on the main road. If we go to harass , will be ambushed."
"How could Jiang Ze know about this kind of thing?"
"Guess." Li Xiuwen smiled.
"Could it be that there are high-ranking officials in Dal City who belong to us?"
"Yes, you know this person. He has a very good relationship with his eldest brother."
"Is he the deputy squad leader?"
"right."
"Awesome, I didn't expect it to be her. I remember that at that time, she seemed to like Jiang Ze."
"The eldest brother is the light in the secret service camp, and many women like him. But he doesn't like them, which is really strange."
"Maybe Jiang Ze has his heart set on something," Gu Nian guessed.
"Is it possible that the person that big brother likes is you?"
"What are you talking nonsense about? Who told you to talk nonsense?" Gu Nian was startled, and his words were particularly exciting.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm not a fool. I can see that eldest brother is interested in you. But eldest brother knows that you belong to second brother, so he won't touch you."
The moment Li Xiuwen finished saying this, Gu Nian was suddenly a little afraid of the person in front of him. This person who seemed very honest, it turned out that nothing escaped his eyes.
"You didn't tell Erhu about this, right?" Gu Nian said worriedly.
"Of course I didn't say it. The second brother is very simple. The person he cares about most is the eldest brother. However, I don't know if the eldest brother also cares about the second brother."
"Jiang Ze also cares about Erhu."
"Then why hasn't he gone to see the second brother? He clearly knows that the second brother has not eaten for three days." There seemed to be a little resentment in Li Xiuwen's eyes.
"It's true that Erhu is so stubborn. Why is he so stubborn? Even if I try to persuade him, he won't listen."
Gu Nian had nothing to do with Er Hu. She had tried to persuade him many times before, but not only had no effect, she was even kicked out by Er Hu in the end. Just like what Li Xiuwen said, this Luo Erhu seemed to only care about Jiang Ze, even his wife could ignore him.
"Second sister-in-law, have you ever thought that you persuaded the wrong person?" Li Xiuwen's expression became a little serious.
"What do you mean?"
"The person you want to persuade may not be the second brother, but the eldest brother."
"You mean, to untie the bell, you also need to tie the bell?"
"That's more or less the meaning. The second brother is very stubborn, and the eldest brother wants to save face, so they are not willing to give in. But the eldest brother likes you, maybe your words will be useful."
"I see, then I'll give it a try."
After Gu Nian finished speaking, he flew up, but Li Xiuwen grabbed Gu Nian's arm and pulled him down.
Gu Nian asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Second sister-in-law, you seem a little anxious, even a little expectant?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just think what you said makes sense. Erhu hasn't eaten for three days. Do you really want to starve him to death? If persuading Jiang Ze is useful, I will definitely try it."
"Okay...ok...but..."
"but what?"
"You have to remember that you are the second brother's wife, and you have to know what's appropriate."
"Li Xiuwen, you don't need to remind me about this." Gu Nian was a little angry and took Li Xiuwen's hand away with great force.
Li Xiuwen, whose hand was thrown away, just watched Gu Nian fly away. He felt a little worried in his heart, but he comforted himself that he must be worrying too much. After all, it's been a year. If the eldest brother knew how to have sex with his second sister-in-law, he would have done it long ago. The eldest brother is still a very decent man, at least in Li Xiuwen's heart, he still thinks so.
On the other side, Gu Nian asked the deputy captain about Jiang Ze's residence.
If it were an ordinary soldier, the deputy commander would definitely not tell Jiang Ze where he lived. But the other person was Gu Nian, who had a very good relationship with Jiang Ze since they were in the secret service training camp. So the deputy leader didn't think much and directly told her Jiang Ze's location.
Gu Nian came to Jiang Ze's room, and two female soldiers stopped Gu Nian at the door.
"The regiment commander has taken a rest. Is there anything wrong with the company commander?"
"I have something important to ask Jiang Ze."
"whats the matter?"
"If I tell you, your heads may fall to the ground." Gu Nian threatened.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked more." The female soldier was indeed frightened and immediately apologized to Gu Nian.
"Don't worry and let me in. I will tell Jiang Ze and I won't blame you."
"OK."
The female soldier immediately moved out of the way, opened the door, and let Gu Nian in.
After Gu Nian entered the door, he deliberately closed the door.
Jiang Ze, who was lying on the bed, originally had his eyes open, but when he heard the noise, he deliberately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Gu Nian sat beside Jiang Ze's bed, smiled and said, "Stop pretending to be asleep."
"How do you know I'm pretending to sleep?" Jiang Ze also smiled and opened his eyes.
"Actually, I really don't know. I just said that on purpose. Who knew you would be tricked?"
"You are so sophisticated. I really can't believe that you have such skills." Jiang Ze stood up, got out of bed, and continued, "You came to me late at night. Something must have happened."
"you guess?"
"Is it because of Erhu? Do you want me to relent, go to Xiao'er City in person, admit my mistake to him, and take him over?"
"Yes." Gu Nian affirmed directly without mincing words.
"But you also know that I am saving face. After all, I am now the leader of the group."
"If you are willing to let go of this face, I can tell you something."
"One thing?" Jiang Ze asked curiously.
"Didn't you ask me before if I had feelings for you?"
"Of course I remember, today is the three-day deadline, so you should have told me the answer. This cannot be an exchange."
"Then what do you want?" Gu Nian asked seriously.
"Take off your armor."
"Okay," Gu Nian took off all the armor. After taking it off, she continued to ask, "Next, do you want me to take off my clothes too?"
"Are you willing to take it off?" Jiang Ze asked.
"Are you willing to put down your dignity and go find Erhu?"
"If you are willing, I am willing." Jiang Ze said firmly.
"Okay." Gu Nian began to slowly take off his clothes.
One piece...
One piece...
Time seemed to slow down, and Jiang Ze's eyes slowly widened...
When Gu Nian was about to be completely exposed in front of Jiang Ze, Jiang Ze suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Nian's hand.
"That's enough! I was joking." Jiang Ze's eyes were wandering.
"Is this a joke, or is this what you want in your heart? Tell me honestly." Gu Nian shed tears and looked at Jiang Ze seriously.
"Even if it's what I want, I don't want it to be for this reason. What I want is sincere, not such a dirty deal."
"What if... it's not a transaction?" Gu Nian said slowly.
At that moment, Jiang Ze froze. She stared at Gu Nian and found that her face was slightly red.
