Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 2708

The emperor was standing on a slope with a group of generals and officials, looking at the city in the distance. On the edge was the gate of the camp.

Man Bao came out of the woods happily and saw the emperor not far away, so he turned around to bypass these imperial guards and go back to the camp.

The guards of the imperial guards standing around looked at Zhou man face to face, looked at each other, Zhou man took Bai Erlang and turned away, while the guards hesitated and turned to Yan Li to report.

Yan Li looked back at them, saw their backs sneaking back to the camp with the basket on their back, took back his eyes, but didn't see them.

The emperor looked at the city in the distance, sighed and asked the people, "do you have a good way?"

The Duke of Zhao said with a dark face, "now the second prince of Gao's is guarding Anshi city. He is a steady man."

It's just too stable. Every day they send people to the city gate to scold. They not only personally attack, but also take out the ancestors of 18 generations to scold. But he is very tolerant, and the generals inside are also very tolerant, but they just don't respond to the war.

It's not impossible to attack the city, but the sacrifice will be great. Anshi city is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The number of defenders inside is far greater than them, which is very unfavorable to them.

We have thought about other methods, including but not limited to sneak attacks around the back, sow discord with gold and silver treasures, and even dig a tunnel in the past.

But when it was put forward, it was rejected by themselves.

Bai Shan hesitated and said, "may refugees enter the city from other gates?"

The emperor's eyes flickered and looked at Yan Li.

Yan Li looked down and said, "I will arrange it."

The emperor nodded and said to the state of Zhao, "we will attack tomorrow for two days. If we can't break it, we will retreat."

The emperor looked at the city in the distance, and they could leave temporarily.

Man Bao and Bai Erlang knew nothing about it. When they returned to the camp, they took out the ginseng and couldn't help looking at each other. Hei hei smiled.

Bai Erlang just looked at it deeply and fascinated for a long time, and then handed it to Zhou man, "I can't handle it, but I have to give it to you."

Man Bao took it and said to him, "don't worry, I'll deal with it for you."

The emperor went back to the camp with his hands on his back. Half way through, he remembered, "by the way, where's the son-in-law?"

Why didn't he come to such an important meeting today?

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Bai Shan together.

Bai Shan:

He bowed his head and said, "the White Emperor's son-in-law has gone into the mountain to dig herbs."

The emperor asked, "there is still a shortage of medicinal materials in the medical account?"

The Duke of Zhao stared at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan said with a smile, "just be prepared. I'm not busy these days. Bai's son-in-law and Lord Zhou often go into the mountain to dig some herbs. Maybe they can use them in the future."

The Emperor didn't ask any more, but turned to ask Duke Zhao, "have you checked the logistics?"

He said: "I couldn't draw my hand before. Now that I have to wait, I should check it and know it well."

Zhao Guogong said, "several people have been taken into custody, and the minister is being interrogated."

The emperor asked, "do you want Yin Qing to help?"

Duke Zhao declined. It was the matter of the Ministry of war. He didn't want Yin Li to intervene.

Yan Li didn't want to intervene. He was very busy, okay.

We should not only protect the emperor, but also select fine works and send them to Anshi city.

To do meticulous work, the first thing is loyalty, and then to agree with the local face, language and habits. The ability to kill is the last requirement.

Yan Li began to pick them up from the whole army, while Duke Zhao dealt with the previous logistics accident. Liu Huan couldn't help complaining to them, "I'm not comfortable sleeping now, so I'm afraid I'll be dragged out to ask for guilt."

Bai Shan: "... What does this have to do with you? Aren't you in charge of the armaments given by the Ministry of industry? "

"Yes, but I live next to logistics officers. They don't come back when they go out these days, or they are dragged back."

Man Bao frowned slightly when he heard the speech. "Asking for guilt at this time makes the army unstable. Why do your majesty and the Duke of Zhao ask for guilt at this time?"

I didn't see her medicine so late. She just wrote it down first. Didn't it happen on the spot?

Bai Shan thought about it, "maybe we should return to the dynasty."

Man Bao stared, "so fast? The last batch of medicinal materials hasn't been delivered yet. There are materials. Why retreat? "

Bai Erlang and Liu Huan also looked at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan coughed lightly and said carelessly, "it's cold. Anshi city can't attack for a long time. Your Majesty must think of the soldiers."

Bai Erlang: "it hasn't been too long to attack. It's only been around for eight days. Is it normal to fight a siege for a month or two?"

Liu Huan: "yes, there are official documents from the Ministry of work. The Ministry of household asked them to prepare a batch of new thick clothes. They are all on the way. With the booty of the siege, we don't lack thick clothes for the time being."

Bai Shan said, "we'll just listen to your majesty."

Then two days later, the emperor really ordered the retreat.

Man Bao was surprised, but she couldn't care to express her opposition at this time, because there were a lot of wounded soldiers in the medical account.

Zhao Guogong attacked for two days in a row. There were a lot of wounded soldiers. She hasn't handled the wounded soldiers sent back after the attack today.

When she finally handled the wounded, the camp was already packing up and ready to retreat tomorrow.

Man Bao was stunned. "It's really retreating."

Bai Shan nodded and said to her, "it may be time to return to the dynasty."

Man Bao pursed. "Isn't this a tiger head and a snake tail?"

Bai Shan reached out and touched her eyebrows, smiled and said, "Your Majesty has his own plan. Don't bother."

When man Bao saw that he was not worried at all, he was stunned and thought about it.

They didn't come out for a long time this time. Although the weather is cold now, the siege is smooth. The materials haven't been consumed. There are a lot of preparations for the imperial expedition. If the emperor goes back like this, let alone he is unwilling, the courtiers won't be willing, so

Man Bao turned to pack his bags. "All right, just go back."

The soldiers in the camp were also surprised, and their morale was somewhat low because of the unfavorable siege in recent days.

Zhao Guogong said nothing. The next day he took the road ahead, leaving the defenders behind, and the whole army left.

The Koguryo army in Anshi city saw it and immediately ran happily to tell the sophomore prince.

The second prince thought a little and said, "maybe it's the other party's strategy to lure the enemy. We continue to stick to the city and don't go out."

The emperor retreated to Liaodong city and began to deal with follow-up affairs. For example, he picked out some families in nearby cities and ordered them to move to the mainland, or the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River. Anyway, he wanted to leave here.

At the same time, an imperial edict was issued to appease the people in the captured cities, and the generals guarding the local areas were dispatched to set up the governor's office of Liaocheng Prefecture in the east city of Liaoning to manage the military and government affairs of several nearby cities.

Decrees came out one by one, and soldiers began to set up checkpoints and lookouts on the road to Anshi city. It seems that they intend to rule by this boundary with Koguryo.

The sophomore prince in Anshi also hesitated, "are they really going to leave?"
