After listening to the detective's report, Jonah couldn't help but frown.
At this time, Bazaar Khan next to him spoke again, "Your Highness, they must have gone out of the city to mobilize reinforcements from various places. Let's surround them first."
Jonah didn't have time to think about it, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, give me the order to surround Wannian City tonight under the cover of darkness. We must surround it like an iron bucket and not even a fly can fly out!"
That night, Xiao Jingyun stood outside the north gate, watching the fire in the distance getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but smile.
Zhou Quan clasped his fists at Jamel Xiao and said, "Your Highness, you are so talented and powerful, and you managed to get Jonah to take the bait with just a little trick."
Jamel Xiao waved his hand, "You can't say that. There are advantages and disadvantages. Let him surround us. The main reason is to be able to hold on for a few more days."
"Okay, now we are on the ground, sleep peacefully, they will not make a large-scale invasion within three to five days, they will only test."
Zhou Quan raised his eyes and looked at the cold moon in the sky, "Your Highness, when the moon is full it is our Great Yuan Festival."
Xiao Jingyun shook his head, "Yes, this year marks the 120th anniversary of the accession of the late Emperor of Dacang Kingdom to the throne. It should have been a grand celebration, but now it seems that it will be spent in blood and rain."
Zhou Quan remained silent, bowed and retreated.
Like Xiao Jingyun, outside the city, Du Bai saw Jonah's army surrounding the city on all sides, and he felt at ease. As long as they didn't attack from all sides, he would be sure.
At this time, the atmosphere in Jonah's military camp seemed a little tense.
The most important point is that there is a problem with Jonah's logistics supply line. They are in the north, and it has begun to snow heavily. Naturally, the team transporting the baggage has been delayed.
The food and grass stored in the army is only enough for half a month. It's strange that Jonah isn't in a hurry.
Bazahan raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, I have an idea. We will besiege Wannian City without attacking. Presumably they will not dare to take the initiative to attack. When our reinforcements and food and grass arrive, we will make plans."
Jonah shook his head, "That's not right, that's not right. The reinforcements from the Dacang Kingdom will arrive in more than twenty days. If our reinforcements arrive after that, we will be attacked from both sides."
"But now we are not sure of victory. The opponent's tactics are a bit weird. That night, Zhu Meng had 20,000 people, but they only fought for an hour and half of them were eaten by them." Bazha Khan seemed to be frightened.
"Yeah, I think it's weird too. Now that the enemy's situation is unclear, I don't dare to go into battle rashly." After Jonah finished speaking, he turned to look at a maid next to him, "Qiuye, is there news coming out of the city? ?”
Qiuye shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, we just surrounded Wannian City today. I'm afraid it will take two days for the news to come out."
Jonah nodded, "Tell the people in the city to find out the details as soon as possible."
In this situation where each had their own thoughts, the two sides remained in a stalemate for three days without even making any tentative attacks.
The news reached Hetou Village this morning.
Liu Rumei was puzzled after reading it. This was strange. Logically speaking, it was the cold winter season, and the country had traveled a long distance. It should have been a quick victory, but instead of attacking, why was it?
Suddenly she slapped the table and figured it out, "I know, it must be Jonah who discovered the mystery of this Four Spirits Bagua Formation. He didn't dare to attack rashly, for fear that he was secretly trying to find out the details of this formation."
After understanding this, Liu Rumei was about to send a message to the capital. At this time, she heard Xiaoqing outside saying hello that it was Chen Xiaobei who was here.
Hearing Chen Xiaobei's arrival, Liu Rumei hurried to the door and said, "Brother Xiaobei, you're here."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and gave Liu Rumei a shallow smile.
"I think it's very cloudy today and it's going to snow soon. I'd like to come over here and see if there's anything else I'm missing."
Liu Rumei smiled brightly, it was worth having a man who knew both cold and hot.
"Brother Xiaobei, I don't lack anything. By the way, you are here and I just want to tell you. I just received a letter from my brother. The Great Earth Kingdom really surrounded Wanniancheng, but the siege lasted for several days. But there was no movement. Just now I was still thinking about what Jonah from the Earth Kingdom meant."
After hearing Liu Rumei's words, Chen Xiaobei was also stunned.
"There's been no movement for three days. That's wrong. They are the attackers, and it's freezing cold now. It's starting to snow here, and it's probably not warm over there either. Logically speaking, he has to attack the city as soon as possible."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Liu Rumei frowned slightly, "Who says it's not the case? I'm just thinking about it, what is going on?"
"I guess it's probably because Jonah suffered a loss in the Four Spirits Bagua Formation two days ago and is secretly exploring the details of this formation, so he didn't attack rashly."
After listening to Liu Rumei's analysis, Chen Xiaobei nodded.
"What you said makes sense. If you suffer a loss the first time, you have to be more careful in the future."
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei agreed with her analysis, Liu Rumei was very happy, "I immediately wrote back to my elder brother and asked him to tell the prince quickly and make sure to keep it confidential."
Chen Xiaobei was shocked after hearing Liu Rumei's words.
"Rumei, could it be that you would tell your elder brother what we talked about a while ago?"
Liu Rumei nodded.
"Yes, I'm afraid that the prince will have something unexpected, so I will ask my eldest brother to convey what I think of."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaobei shook his head gently.
"Rumei, as the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not do anything. Now that you have come to Qingniu Mountain, don't worry about these things anymore, lest the prince think you have other ideas."
After hearing Chen Xiaobei's words, Liu Rumei paused, opened her mouth and murmured a few times, but no words came out.
As the saying goes, one word can wake up a dreamer, but Chen Xiaobei's words still made her wary. Thinking about it, my father became a monk and came to Qingniu Mountain. He is still so concerned about government affairs. The one he knows is Liu Jiaxin. It’s about the family and the country, and there are feelings. If you don’t know, you don’t know. What should you say in front of the emperor and the prince?
After thinking for a long time, Liu Rumei sighed softly, "Brother Xiaobei, you are right, I won't care about this matter, and I won't ask anything about it in the future."
Chen Xiaobei stretched out his hand to take Liu Rumei into his arms and gave her a gentle hug, "I don't want you to suffer any more grievances. It is enough for the prince to have a prince for all important matters of family and country. We don't need to worry about it."
Liu Rumei was quite touched, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She nodded gently, "Brother Xiaobei, thank you. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought how powerful I was. I would have caused trouble sooner or later by pointing fingers like this every day." New incident."
Chen Xiaobei nodded slightly, "Okay, we don't care about this."
"By the way, let me take you over to see the tiger. After we gave him those medicines last time, he is obedient now."
