Ji Hong didn't want to talk about the second thing.
He was still smiling, leaning back, raising one leg to support his right forearm, sitting in a casual and carefree posture, and shook his head.
"What do you mean, sir?" He Chuanjiang looked at him.
"This first thing, if you think you can do it, I will help you immediately."
He Chuanjiang was stunned and couldn't figure out what kind of person he was: "Then, the second and third things..."
"Do you think you can do the first thing?" Ji Hong interrupted him.
The first thing was not difficult. Compared with digging so many puddles in the past few days, it was just a grave. It was a piece of cake.
However, He Chuanjiang always felt uneasy about the person in front of him. He was too perverse and absurd, and his temperament was difficult to understand.
"Lin Yao's army will arrive before dusk tonight. Are you sure you still want to hesitate here?" Ji Hong looked at him, "If you run out of ammunition and food, their life will not be easy, and their terrain is
It's even lower. If the rain continues to fall, let alone accomplishing any great things, I'm afraid they will be drowned directly in Wanshan Pass. At first, these people gathered for the uprising just because they wanted to survive, and now they will naturally come here because they want to survive.
You, you are not aware of this. And the people in the city are not convinced. I think what you are most worried about now is that after these rebels come, the people in the city will cooperate with each other and rush to open the city gate. When the time comes, you
I'm afraid these regular troops are the 'rebellious troops' that everyone calls them."
He Chuanjiang said nothing and felt heavy.
"Unfortunately, Zhao was stubborn and refused to abandon the city. He even ordered the entire city to be sealed off. Now the people are not allowed to go out and are living in jails and starving at home. The resentment in their hearts is so great that you must be so scared now." Ji Hong.
As he said that, he smiled again and said, "Think about it, you came all the way here to provide disaster relief and protected this vast city, and did not let the hundreds of thousands of people in the city starve to death like the people in the countryside. What's the result?
In the end, they will collude with the rebels to deal with you, are you heartbroken?"
He Chuanjiang shook his head: "Things that haven't happened yet can't be said to be heartbreaking."
As he spoke, he raised his hands and bowed in salute: "What is the method sir mentioned?"
"So, do you agree to this important matter?"
He Chuanjiang slowly breathed out and said: "The suppression of bandits in Chongyi went very smoothly. There are very few bandits left there. Therefore, the general does not necessarily need to intervene in this matter. I can also deploy manpower or entrust friends to help there."
Sir found this body."
"Okay," Ji Hong's eyes brightened, "I believe in Commander He's responsibility."
He sat upright and continued: "Master He, does he know where Peifeng's original garrison troops, except for the Dasu Army Pioneer Battalion currently guarding the city with your Huben Battalion, are going?
Yet?"
"Scheduling on the northwest front." He Chuanjiang replied.
Ji Hong climbed up and raised his hand to lift the dilapidated straw mat, revealing the broken wooden board underneath. He brushed his sleeves on the wooden board, and after getting some rainwater on his fingers, he started to draw on the wooden board.
The water in the cell is at the same height as in the hall. There are only fourteen drainage holes in the entire hall, and each one is very small, about the thickness of three fingers.
He Chuanjiang stood in the water, his cloth absorbing water and staining, and half of his sleeves were wet. He looked at the map drawn by Ji Hong's hand, his expression still confused.
What is drawn above is the entire Daqian territory.
"What do you mean, sir?" He Chuanjiang looked at Ji Hong and asked in confusion.
"Pei Feng," Ji Hong stretched out his finger, "Three miles to the north from the official road here is Dadukou. The entire coast is now flooded. This is the east side," Ji Hong pointed his finger.
Changing the direction, "Go east from here, another thirty miles from Changting, even to the northwest of Shoushi. Now the people here have been evacuated. The thirty or so villages on this road are so dead.
Those who escaped have no one left. And these checkpoints are now heavily guarded, making it impossible to get in or get out."
He Chuanjiang nodded, still confused: "Why did you say this, sir?"
"I can't get in, I can't get out, including you," Ji Hong said with a meaningful smile, "There are so many big puddles outside the city. Why did Zhao ask you to dig them in the first place?"
He Chuanjiang understood instantly and frowned: "You mean, if we can't get out, we will be forced to stay in the name of the plague?"
"Don't you think this is inevitable?" Ji Hong tapped his finger near Peifeng, "Why has the rescue not arrived for so long? Even if the rescue from the imperial court is delayed, where are the spontaneous donations from the civilian martyrs?
.You have to know what kind of characters Jiang Pingsheng and Guo Shu are. Not to mention heavy rain and strong winds, even if they are facing mountains of swords and seas of fire, they will not delay such a life-saving thing for even a moment."
In fact, He Chuanjiang had long given up hope for the so-called rescue, but he would also speculate on various possibilities, such as encountering heavy rain on the road, or encountering refugee rebels, so he chose the long way, but Ji Hong
Those words directly depressed him like a blunt blow.
His expression remained calm, but his voice became much hoarse: "Maybe, no."
"The northwest front needs more rescue items than here," Ji Hong looked at him, "Rescue the white-eyed wolves here who only open their mouths to ask for food, but can choose to betray you at any time, or to support the long border front in the northwest. Let those who
Is it better for a soldier to sacrifice his life for himself and keep his glory and wealth? You are the emperor and the nobles in the court, how do you choose?"
"But, Duke Zheng..."
"Can Duke Zheng survive?" Ji Hong interrupted He Chuanjiang, "Facts speak louder than words. Military Advisor He, has your rescue arrived?"
As he spoke, Ji Hong shook his head and pointed towards Anjiang, which was thousands of miles away from Peifeng: "Song Zhiyi rebelled, and the whole Anjiang became Song. Tian Dayao also rebelled, and the mountains more than a hundred miles away in Ye Xunling became Tian. Bei
The situation could not be defended for a long time. The Northern Yuan army overwhelmed Yunhu and Rongtang Gorges, and even once broke through the Pingyang Road... He Junshang, with all due respect, how long do you think this Dagan can breathe?"
"Sir, don't talk nonsense!" He Chuanjiang frowned.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense, you know better than me," Ji Hongxuan smiled, "Do you know why I'm telling you this?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at Peifeng City, where the color on the map was gradually fading, and said: "Since you are already an abandoned son, why should you be so righteous? In this situation, what a smart person can do is to stop losses in time, and at the same time, take various measures.
Get what you need. Let Lin Yao get the places and people he wants, and let the people in the city decide whether to go or stay. You don't have to go through a thankless effort here, drag yourself down in vain, and lose your life. It's best to abandon the city.
Of course," at this point, Ji Hong smiled again, lightly tracing the disappearing outline on the board with his fingers, and said, "After abandoning the city, you can change from passive to active. After all, in this city,
The granary is still empty, and the mouths of those who want to eat are still open. When the time comes, the person who should worry about what to do is the one who wants to capture Peifeng, what do you think?"
Ji Hong raised his eyes and looked at He Chuanjiang with a smile.
