Come to the beginning of April, Hanyang Pass has been besieged for half a month, and the food stored in the city is almost there. The 30,000 troops in the city are already relying on the help of the people of Hanyang Pass, and their daily meals of rice have been reduced from two to one.
Nowadays, I can only survive on two bowls of gruel a day.
"Miss, the complexion of the soldiers guarding the city is getting worse day by day. If this continues, Hanyang Pass will be destroyed without an attack." In the valley outside Hanyang Pass, I have been guarding here for half a month, and I can see that the situation has become overwhelming.
Defeated, even the calm Bai Wei was a little anxious.
"Outside the Hanyangguan City Gate, someone has set up the 'Ten Thousand-Changing Nine Palaces Formation'. Miss has secretly broken into it four times. The injury on her shoulder has not healed yet. Do you want Miss to risk her life?"
Bai Wei took one look, and in her eyes, the rise and fall of the world was not as important as her young lady.
"Bai Qian, you know I didn't mean this. I just wanted to send the food in." Since the last time, Bai Qian has always been in trouble with her, and Bai Wei has long been accustomed to it.
"People's hearts are separated from each other. Who knows what you are thinking?" Bai Qian gave Bai Wei a sideways glance.
"Bai Qian, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can say it in front of the lady. I don't want there to be any grudge between us and make the lady embarrassed." Bai Wei frowned and said.
"No need." Bai Qian sneered, "I don't want to embarrass the young lady, just don't let me see you in the future."
"What's going on with you two?" Mu Jieyu, who had been standing outside the tent in deep thought, came to his senses and heard the two of them bickering, with their tone of voice being subtle, so he couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, Miss, I just had a quarrel with Bai Wei." Bai Qian said first without giving Bai Wei a chance to speak.
"Miss, why did Chun Yu'ao delay in attacking the city? If he delays it until the reinforcements arrive, won't he fail in his success?" Bai Wei didn't want Mu Jieyu to ask further, so she changed the subject.
Mu Jieyu glanced back and forth at the two of them, and then said: "It's not that Chunyu Ao doesn't want to attack the city."
"Then why didn't he take action yet?" Bai Zian asked puzzledly.
Mu Jieyu turned around and looked across the mountain col to the blue sky and white clouds: "If I am right, he no longer has the right to decide whether to attack or not." He said with a sarcastic smile, "This is the consequence of luring a wolf into the house.
"
"Introducing the wolf into the house?" Bai Wei and Bai Qian were confused at the same time. After saying it in unison, they looked at each other lukewarmly.
Mu Jieyu naturally noticed the obvious disagreement between the two, but he did not ask any more questions, but said: "Chun Yuao has been controlled by the people from the previous dynasty."
"People from the previous dynasty?" Bai Qian exclaimed.
But Bai Wei thought for a while and then said: "Even the people from the previous dynasty cannot miss this good opportunity to attack the city. Now the army in the city is already strong on the outside and capable on the inside."
Mu Jieyu shook his head and said: "What they want is not just a Hanyang Pass. They have separatized a small Hanyang Pass. There are ten or even a hundred Hanyang Passes in Dajing. Once the reinforcements arrive, they can take back Hanyang Pass."
It’s not impossible, he won’t do anything that will lead to nothing in the end.”
"But if they don't take Hanyang Pass, when the reinforcements arrive, they still won't get anything and will suffer heavy losses." Bai Zian looked confused.
Mu Jieyu smiled: "It's not that they are not attacking the city, but they are waiting for a perfect opportunity to have people open the city gate to welcome them into the city without spending a single soldier."
