"Sir, it's too late to break through now. With our little force, we can't go far away from the city. There is only one dead end. Unless reinforcements arrive, they can still cooperate inside and outside. Otherwise, it's better to defend the city and live at least a few more days."

Qin Feiyang shook his head.

"how so."

When Wang Bo heard this, he seemed to have all his strength drained and fell on the chair.

"Sir, is there no news of reinforcements yet?"

Seeing this, Qin Feiyang's heart suddenly sank.

"I don't know, I don't know now. None of the messenger sent by me or the pigeons of the secret inspectors have been sent back."

Wang Bo felt that he was so unlucky. He had only one month left, but his term in Jingxian was over. He had done everything in the Ministry of Personnel. A month later, he went to work in the south. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a thing.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Not replying does not mean there are no reinforcements. After all, Jingxian has been blocked by rebels now. Even if the messenger wants to come back, there is no way. The city will not watch us ignore it."

Qin Feiyang comforted.

"I hope this is the case, but the food in the city may not last long, so some tough measures may be required."

Wang Bo has already thought about it and cannot wait until the grain in the granary is used up. He will ask the big households in the city to donate grain tomorrow. Anyway, he is about to leave office, so he is not afraid of offending others. He will keep the city for a while before talking about it.

······

Outside Jingxian County, smoke and dust rolled, and there was a lot of people.

Liu Feng felt a little dizzy early in the morning. He sat in the big tent as the headquarters of the Central Army, rubbed his forehead with his hands, and exhaled a long breath.

At this time, Xu Tu, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, walked in from outside, "Lord, our scout caught two messengers, these are the letters they searched for."

Liu Feng opened the letter and looked at it, and threw it aside. The content on the letter was very simple, that is, the two county towns would soon send reinforcements to make the Jingxian County Magistrate must stick to the city.

From the contents of these letters, we can see that our plan to siege the city and fight for assistance has been successful.

Tangyuan Mansion has limited troops, and Minshan has restrained a lot of troops. The only ones who can come to rescue Jingxian are those regiments that have just been established.

As long as these team-training local heroes are destroyed, the garrison power of other county towns in Tangyuan Prefecture will be gone. By then, the entire Tangyuan Prefecture can basically be regarded as his belongings.

"I send a message to the secret spies from other county and prefecture cities. Once each city sends reinforcements, they must find out the situation of these reinforcements and the marching route."

"It's the Lord, I'll make arrangements now."

Xu Tu took the order.

After so long, the first batch of silhouettes have been trained. These silhouettes can not only help Liu Feng convey information in a timely manner, but also block the airspace around Jingxian County, making the carrier pigeons of the silhouette department unable to convey information. Now the entire county town has become blind and has no idea about the situation outside. It is impossible to cooperate inside and outside, and it may even cause panic.

After simply having breakfast, Liu Feng walked out of the tent, stood in the open space outside for a while, and then began patrolling the camp with his guards.

It is said that it is a patrol camp, but in fact it is just a stroll. After all, there is no rush to attack the city now, and they are waiting for the reinforcements from the court to get into the trap. He, the lord, has nothing to do.

"By the way, where are those people in the martial arts world arranged?"

As he was walking, Liu Feng suddenly remembered the seeds of the generals he had brought back. When he had to use troops in a few days, these people would also go to the battlefield.

"Lord, these people are all scattered and arranged in various units of the front army as ordinary soldiers. Will the Lord summon them to come?"

"Forget it, let's talk about it after the war, and go to Mr. Pang's place to take a look."

······

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Such a long period of blockade has allowed Jingxian to reach a state of exhaustion of food. The food consumption of hundreds of thousands of people is no joke. Even Liu Feng's consumption is not small. Fortunately, he insisted on taking the elite troops route, and the troops he set out this time were only 80,000, and the food transported from Laiyang Prefecture can continue to support it.

If he was like Chen Sheng, he would be holding the people and snowballing, and exploded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, then the current situation would be different. The strategy of besieging the city and attacking aid would be impossible to implement, and he could only use his lives to attack the city. At that time, even if he captured the entire Tangyuan Mansion, it would probably be empty here and become a useless territory.

At the same time, in most half a month, it was enough for reinforcements from the Fucheng and other county towns to gather together. A total of 100,000 troops approached Jingxian and a war was about to begin.

However, the officials and civilians in Jingxian had no idea about this situation.

Although the county magistrate Wang Bo had already used iron-fisted methods in the city half a month ago, all the gentry families, merchants, etc. in the city had to hand over the food in the yamen, and they could only keep food for seven days at most. If this amount exceeded, they would be killed!

However, no matter how you centrally distribute grain, it is a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the problem of food shortage.

It is not easy to support so many words in the city.

Without food, the hungry people first ate the grass and trees in the city, and then the medicinal materials from various medicine shops were also ate them.

You should know that although many of the medicinal herbs can be taken, it is only toxic to take medicine, and taking too much is not a good thing. Many people die of poisoning because of random medicine. Even so, they still cannot stop these hungry people. Anyone who can be stuffed into their stomachs can be taken.

As batches of people starved to death, it was even reported in the city that people could eat people privately.

"We can't continue like this, otherwise everyone in the city will go crazy and have to send someone out to contact the outside world."

In the yamen, Wang Bo, with a haggard face, said to the officials of all sizes around him.

For him, this half month was like a year.

"Sir, Qin Tuan Zhengzhi wants to defend the city, let me lead people to break out."

At this time, the garrison commander Huang Han stood up.

"Okay, how many people do you want to bring?"

Wang Bo asked.

Huang Han pondered for a moment, looked up and said, "Fifty people are enough. Too many people are likely to be exposed. I will leave the city tonight!"

"good!"

Wang Bo poured a glass of wine, "Person Huang, this glass of wine is calculated to make you successful. I will give you the life and death of the people in the city!"

"Sir, please rest assured, I will live up to my entrusted responsibility!"

Huang Han took the wine glass with both hands and drank it all.
Chapter completed!
