Chapter 677 Rumors 4
Inside Daliang Capital
In a teahouse, the guests were no longer as noisy as before, and their faces looked more sad.
There are 200,000 troops outside the city. Although the possibility of breaking the city is very small given Daliang's level, after this battle, if nothing unexpected happens, Daliang will decline.
"Here is your Longjing tea, please enjoy it."
A pretty maid brought tea to the guests. When she bent down, her loose clothes could not hide her curvy figure.
It was the little witch who sneaked in more than two months ago.
After the initial struggle, she changed her name to Xiaoya and was taken in by the owner of a teahouse.
"Xiaoya, come and give me some water."
Greeting guests.
"it is good."
It is easiest to get information in a teahouse.
"Have you heard? In yesterday's battle, Daqian fought on the city wall. There was a young general who was very powerful. He killed dozens of people with a weapon I don't know what it was. The city wall was full of corpses."
"Ah? With so many bows and crossbows, how did Daqian get here?"
"Lin Chong, don't you know? It's as tall as a city wall. Daqian used it five years ago. We in Tianlang country also have it, but we were attacked at our doorstep before we could use it."
"The city won't be broken, will it?"
"Strategist Zhao, you are the smartest among us. Can you analyze the possibility of the city being captured?"
"Advisor Zhao, tell me, if it is possible to break into the city, we can find a way to survive sooner."
A handsome man in brocade clothes in the middle saluted to the few people and then said:
"In my humble opinion, as long as Long Jie holds the position of commander and Chai Fang remains in the position of deputy commander, there is no chance that the Tianlang Nation will lose."
"The capital of Tianlang is tall and strong. The number of Daqian soldiers is limited, and the number of soldiers coming up is also limited. As long as there is no problem with the deployment of defense, the city will not be broken."
"As for the siege, there are water and fields in the capital, and a large amount of food and grass is stored. In less than three to five years, the chances of death from siege are almost zero. The nearly 300,000 soldiers outside cannot afford to spend so much time."
"If they insist on wasting time, at worst we can give up the Northern Territory and bring Bao Tan back. Who knows, we can even take the opportunity to retake West County."
Advisor Zhao's words immediately made everyone feel relieved.
"What if, by some chance, Long Jie and General Chai Fang swap positions?"
Someone in the crowd asked.
"In Tianlang Country, only these two generals are gifted and experienced and can firmly defend the city. If it were anyone else, it would be difficult."
"What about you, Mr. Zhao?"
"Zhao is just a scholar. I don't know how to fight or lead troops. I can be a strategist and give advice. But if you want me to be the commander? This city will be in chaos."
Advisor Zhao shook his head slightly.
"Advisor Zhao is being modest again."
The little witch listened carefully at the side.
When she heard that there was a young general holding an unknown weapon and killing people on the city wall, she couldn't help but sigh that Xu Wu had a promising future.
This counselor Zhao is an important minister of the country. He accompanies the emperor all year round and gives him advice. Although he has no official position, the Heavenly Wolf Emperor trusts him very much.
And the other party is really powerful. If he says the city cannot be broken, then it is likely that the city cannot be broken.
Long Jie...Chai Fang.
The little witch wrote down two key characters.
If we can take the opportunity to kill these two people, Daqian will have a chance to break into the city.
What to do? Assassination?
But these two people are now living in the military camp, and even if she risks her life to kill them, the hope is slim.
There were no people from their camp.
rumor?
You can give it a try and find a chance to discuss it with Xiaohan.
It was late at night, cloudy and pitch dark.
Dozens of people gathered in a dilapidated courtyard.
"Have you all found your footing?"
The little witch's voice sounded.
"Ah."
"Our mission this time is to kill Chai Fang and Long Jie. Do you have any ideas?"
There was silence for a moment, and then someone spoke up:
"I work as a staff member under a court official. I heard from him that the two generals have been staying in the barracks, so it is difficult to take action against them."
"I met the Chai family's housekeeper. He buys food at the market every five days. I can do something with it."
"The Long family always delivers it to their doorstep, so it's a little difficult to tamper with it."
"I remember a girl sneaked into the Long family as a slave. Maybe she can help. But the Long family is heavily guarded, so it's difficult to contact them."
"I am a beggar who has recaptured a piece of land with my martial arts skills. I have about 40 to 50 people under my command. If you have any intelligence you need to gather, you can come to me."
"Speaking of which, Young Master Long seems to have taken a liking to me."
Xiaohan said.
"As you know, I am a prostitute in Yanchun Tower. Every time I appear, he will pay a high price to be my guest. Moreover, he seems to be sincere to me."
Hearing this, the little witch thought for a moment and came up with a complete plan in her mind.
The next day, rumors spread throughout the capital.
In the teahouse.
"Have you heard? Chai Fang and Long Jie don't seem to get along. They had a big fight in the army yesterday."
"Is this really the case? They are the commander and deputy commander. If they don't get along, how can they resist the enemy?"
"It is absolutely true. My uncle told me that he was a centurion in the army."
"Come to think of it, it makes sense. Long Jie is in charge of defense and loves defending the city the most. Chai Fang has a more violent temper and his military strength is not much worse, so he naturally doesn't want to be blocked at his doorstep. The quarrel between the two should be about this."
"Under the current circumstances, defending the city is the best option. If Chai Fang insists on going out to fight, what if he loses?"
"I think we should fight! There aren't that many soldiers outside, why should we be afraid of him! It doesn't matter if we lose, at worst, I can go and defend the city."
"That's right. We have so many people in Tianlang City, and we still can't defend it. We'll be defeated if we fight!"
"Zheng Feiying has been defeated, how can Chai Fang and Long Jie do it? I think it's better to defend."
"Stop! It's understandable that the two of them are quarreling, but it's not a good thing if they continue like this! If these two don't get along and something unexpected happens, Tianlang will be finished."
"That is to say, I see a change of generals."
"Yes, defending the city is not difficult, and it doesn't matter if we change the general."
The calls for a change of generals in the city are growing louder and louder.
In reality, this is not the case. Chai Fang and Long Jie have always had a good relationship.
Chai Fang is indeed a warmonger, but he is not stupid.
In his life, he only respects Zheng Feiying, no one else he respects.
But Zheng Feiying had already been defeated by those people outside, so what was there for him to brag about? He could just guard the city peacefully and wait for promotion.
After this battle, my position in the emperor's heart will be higher. Then I can go to Da Qi to gain some military merits. How nice!
If we go out of the city to fight now, even if we win it will be a pyrrhic victory. If we lose, we will become the sinner of the Tianlang Kingdom.
It’s just that Long Jie always seemed to be at odds with him, and seemed to want to take more credit.
