Jiang Wu's generals obeyed the order and advocated attacking the city.
However, Tian He, as the governor, strongly opposed the siege. The two sides stood in the wind and snow, and they were in a stalemate for a while.
Due to the heavy losses on Jiang Wu's side, Tian He now controls half of the military power.
Coupled with his status as a military governor, Jiang Wu would not be able to have his own way as long as Tian He opposed the siege.
"The general has given the order! How can the governor disobey the order?" The deputy general looked angry and wanted to give Tian He a sword.
"Although I do not have the power to lead troops, I do have the duty of overseeing the army. Since the Third Young Master's decision is wrong, I must stop it in time and make corrections." Tian He looked at Jiang Wu with a calm expression on his face.
"General, I am willing to charge forward!" the deputy general asked Jiang Wu with his hands in hand.
Jiang Wu took a deep look at Tian He, then turned over and dismounted, and then took off his armor.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene. The general of an army took off his armor in front of the formation. What was he doing?
After taking off his armor, the guards hurriedly gave Jiang Wu a tiger skin coat. Jiang Wu took it and put it on him.
Then, with Tian He's confused look on his face, Jiang Wu ordered people to set up a low couch and a stove on the snow, sit on them comfortably, and grill some meat.
"Send the order, and the entire army will rest where it is."
"No!" Although the deputy general didn't understand, he still obeyed the order and ordered the entire army to rest in place.
Tian He looked at Jiang Wu and asked in a deep voice: "What does this mean, Third Young Master?"
Jiang Wu lay on the low couch and said to Tian He who was riding a horse behind him: "Since the governor does not agree to attack the city now, let's wait until the governor agrees."
Jiang Wu stretched out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes, "Look carefully, the scenery in the snow is really good."
Tian He tightened his fists, not expecting Jiang Wu to suddenly make such a move.
As a result, thousands of solemn troops accompanied one person, standing in the wind and snow to enjoy the snow scene.
In the city, Qin Yu was a little confused when he saw this scene. It seemed a little different from what he imagined.
If the enemy sees through the empty city strategy, shouldn't they attack the city directly?
If you didn't see through the empty city plan, you should retreat back to the camp.
Now, without retreating or attacking, with thousands of troops standing in the wind and snow, confronting themselves from a distance, what does it mean?
"It seems that your plan is successful." Tie Mian looked at Qin Yu.
Tie Mian's words brought Qin Yu back to his senses. Tie Mian was right.
Although the enemy's actions were confusing, the purpose of delaying time was indeed achieved.
After all, according to the original plan, if Qi Jun could be delayed, it would have to be delayed for at least two hours, preferably until night, so the current situation is pretty good.
"However, if they waste time with us outside the city like this, I'm afraid it will be extremely detrimental to us." Tie Mian was still a little worried. Thousands of troops were parked at the door, and the danger was always there.
Qin Yu looked calm and touched his full belly, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's good that they are under our noses. Lao Huang and the others are at least less dangerous."
"I don't know where they are now?" Tie Mian asked, looking to the north.
"Don't worry about them for now. We have to make other preparations during this time."
······
Time passed little by little, and although the wind and snow did not stop, it became much lighter.
The snow under the Qi army's feet had submerged their feet, but thousands of troops still stood upright in the wind and snow.
On the oven in front of Jiang Wu, there was a sizzling grilled meat with a faint aroma of meat.
Jiang Wu looked up from time to time and glanced at Tunliu City in front of him, with an imperceptible glare flashing in his eyes.
"Swiss, swiss, swish..."
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and soon Tian He was standing in front of Jiang Wu.
"Third Young Master, the soldiers have been standing in the wind and snow for more than two hours."
Jiang Wu looked up at Tian He and asked calmly: "Does the warlord agree with me to attack the city?"
Tian He's eyes twitched, and he cupped his hands and said: "Tian He requested that the general withdraw his troops and return to the camp. The soldiers have been standing in this wind and snow for more than two hours."
Jiang Wu sat up straight and pointed at Tunliu City in front of him.
"Tunliu City is right in front of you, and your Tian family's ancestral temple is inside! The Tian family is the most important contributor to our Qi State. If we can't take Tunliu City back, won't the soldiers say that I, the general, am unworthy of being a hero?"
Tian He's mouth twitched, but he didn't expect Jiang Wu to blame all this on the Tian family.
It's true that the Tian family wants to take back Tunliu City, but they definitely don't want a dilapidated Tunliu City.
"General, Tian's ancestral temple is a small matter. The health of the soldiers and the general is our top priority. Please give the order to return to camp."
Jiang Wu waved his hand, and the deputy general understood immediately.
The deputy general turned to the soldiers and asked loudly: "Soldiers! The general asks you! Are you tired? Are you cold?"
"Not tired, not tired! Not cold, not cold!"
The loud shouts caused waves in the vast snow.
"Lord Overseer, please hear me. The soldiers don't need to worry about the Overseer." Jiang Wu looked at Tian He with a smile.
Tian He's face was dark. Jiang Wu did this to use the soldiers to tell him that he, the governor, was not needed here, so that he could leave as soon as possible.
The most stupid thing is that the subordinates he brought along also shouted, "Feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"
Tian He exhaled, then stood up and said with a smile: "Since the general insists on bringing the whole army to the cold again, then Tian He should accompany the general."
"Go or stay, it's up to you." Jiang Wu continued to lie down and sit back.
But Qi Jun's shout just now startled everyone in the city.
Qin Yu thought that the Qi army was about to attack the city, so he hurriedly ran up the city wall, but there was still no movement from the Qi army.
"The Qi army showed no signs of attacking the city. They just shouted a few words." Tie Mian had been watching the situation outside the city from the top of the city.
"You must be mentally ill, what are you shouting for?" Qin Yu complained.
"How are you preparing for the preparation you mentioned?" Tie Mian asked.
Qin Yu smiled mysteriously, "Come on, when we leave, we will definitely give Qi Jun a big gift."
When he was just making preparations, Qin Yu thought carefully about why the Qi army was not retreating outside the city.
The only explanation is that the Qi army is waiting. As for what they are waiting for, it is nothing more than reinforcements and siege equipment.
Of course, it is also possible that Lao Huang and the others were discovered, Jiang Wu once again attracted his attention, and other Qi troops were encircling Lao Huang and the others.
But judging from the system's prestige value, Lao Huang and the others should still be safe. After all, their prestige value has not dropped.
As long as Lao Huang and the others are safe, there will be no problem. Two hours have passed, and even if the Qi army attacks the city, the impact will not be too great.
At this moment, Qin Yu suddenly saw a large flag appearing in the valley in the distance behind the Qi army.
