"Before you came, Li Xiuwen chatted with me for a few minutes."

"How many minutes have you been chatting? Just a few minutes?" Jiang Ze asked.

"He knew you were coming and didn't dare to stay any longer."

"Did he ask you to persuade me to give priority to rescuing Erhu?"

"Yes, to him, Erhu is more important than anything else."

"What do you think?"

"I'm not qualified to express an opinion." Chen Ling shook his head and said.

"Then let me express my opinion for you. I will find a way to get the two tigers back. After that, you and the two tigers will leave the front line and go to the Central Army or King Lie's expeditionary force. At this stage, the expeditionary force only implements the siege policy.

Basically there won’t be any big storms.”

"what do you mean?"

"That's what it means literally."

"Jiang Ze, do you dislike me or Erhu?" Chen Ling's tears rolled down again.

"Just because I care about you, I hope you will leave the front line, especially Erhu, who is too impulsive."

"Erhu is a sweet-tempered person, loyal and straightforward. In your opinion, are these advantages all disadvantages?"

"So what, anyway, Luo Erhu is not suitable to be in my army."

"Okay, it seems that the person you dislike is Erhu. So, why should I leave too?" Chen Ling asked.

"Because Erhu likes you, and only if you go with him will he be willing to leave me."

"Are you doing this too freely? Am I just a tool?"

"Then what do you want?" Jiang Ze said angrily.

"You know that I don't like Erhu, and you promised me in your letter before that as long as you take Dal City, you will let me stay with you."

"At this moment, the plan can't keep up with the changes. And I really can't figure out why you are still attached to me after so long. You should choose someone who loves you, such as Erhu, who can even risk his life

I'm going to save you from danger. I can't do this kind of thing."

"I'm very grateful to Erhu. If I could exchange my life for his, I would be willing to do so. But there is no love involved. In the past, I always listened to other people's advice and chose people who liked me.

He is not the person I like. In the end, there is no good result. Now, I really want to give it a try, follow my own feelings, and choose the person I like." Chen Ling looked at Jiang Ze affectionately.

"Chen Ling, Chen Ling, have you ever thought about it. If we are together, I will be who you were before. I will be passively loved by you, but I will not be able to love you. In the end, there will still be no good results.

.”

"But I want to give it a try. At least I can be with the person I admire, even if it's just for one night."

"Oh my God, it turns out you have this idea. What you want is our skin-to-skin contact, not something that lasts forever." Jiang Ze sneered.

"Of course I hope we can last forever, but I know this is my extravagant wish. So I really don't ask for much. I just ask that we can sleep together occasionally. I will definitely give you a different experience."

"That's enough, you can shut up. I really can't understand that Erhu would actually like a woman like you." Jiang Ze left after saying these words, leaving Chen Ling alone and crying silently.

After Jiang Ze returned to his office, he looked melancholy and sighed in various ways.

Gu Nian poured a glass of water, handed it to Jiang Ze, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Did Chen Ling make you unhappy?"

"Chen Ling has never made me happy. When she was in the spy training camp, she was annoying."

"You are really strange, Chen Ling

Such a beautiful girl, why do you bother her so much?"

"Don't you know who this bitch is? She has had maybe eighteen boyfriends instead of twenty. Not to mention how many she had before, even when she was in the spy training camp, it seems that

You can change your boyfriend every other week. It’s scary to think about such a sentimental woman."

"But after she publicly expressed her love for you, she never had a boyfriend again. Until now, more than half a year has passed. How can a person who is so affectionate be able to stay so long without ever having a boyfriend."

When Gu Nian finished saying this, Jiang Ze's originally excited expression gradually became silent.

After a few seconds, Jiang Zecai said: "Gu Nian, how well do you know Chen Ling?"

"I can't say that I know her very well, but I don't hate her at all. Although I know that she is close to Erhu, Xiuwen, and me with a purpose. But it is true that she has helped me a lot, and she is a good person. And

She is also very good. She is almost the goddess of all the male soldiers in the class. Sometimes I am also curious about how a goddess who is admired by many stars suddenly gives up her passion and becomes infatuated with only one person. This kind of spirit is very rare and valuable.

"

"I didn't expect that Chen Ling not only fascinated Erhu, but you also have a crush on her?"

"Two Tigers..."

As soon as Er Hu's name was mentioned, Gu Nian's heart felt cold again. Although, Gu Nian didn't have high requirements for Er Hu. Even if Er Hu really liked other women, she wouldn't be sad. However, Luo Er Hu actually

For Chen Ling, she risked her life to save her. This had to make Gu Nian feel a little uneasy. She sometimes wondered if Erhu or Jiang Ze would risk their lives if she was in danger.

Save?

Gu Nian didn't dare to think too much, and the more she thought about it, the less confident she became.

Seeing that Gu Nian was a little sad, Jiang Ze became a little unhappy.

"What's wrong with you? Are you still sad about this? Have you not let go of Erhu in your heart?"

"No, I'm just curious. If one day I am in trouble, will you risk your life to save me?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Ze did not answer, but asked Gu Nian instead.

"I...I don't know." Gu Nian's expression gradually turned pale.

"I will."

"real?"

"Yes, I will."

"Okay, great." Gu Nian suddenly hugged Jiang Ze and shed tears.

In fact, Jiang Ze is not sure whether he will take risks for Gu Nian. Although Gu Nian is his favorite now, if he really has to sacrifice his life for it, Jiang Ze does not have the confidence. However, in order not to let Gu Nian

Sadly, he could only think about so much and calm him down first before talking.

On the other side, the Chu army discussed for a day, but still could not reach an agreement. Although about half of the top brass in the army wanted to accept Jiang Ze's conditions, Chu Dongyu still could not accept it. Because such an important Luo Erhu was worth only

A little more than Chen Ling. This is clearly Jiang Ze's deception. He has no sincerity at all.

The next day, Chu Dongyu brought several powerful generals to the city to discuss with Jiang Ze.

Jiang Ze was still the same, he didn't add any more chips. This time the negotiation ended on bad terms again.

Chu Dongyu was so angry that he no longer knew what to do, so he sent a messenger to seek Chu Donglai's advice.

After Chu Donglai learned about the situation, he wrote back: "Jiang Ze did go too far and was not sincere at all. But he was right about one thing. Although Nuer City has supplies, it cannot escort them. If there are too few escorts,

, unable to deal with ferocious wild monsters, nor Jiang Ze's ambush. If there are too many escorts, Nuer City will be very empty, which will be a fatal problem. There are more than 300,000 civilians.

Among them, there will definitely be a spy army. At present, it can be determined that the number of the spy army is not large, so they dare not cause trouble. But if there are too few troops in the city, they will definitely cause a commotion. Therefore, you can temporarily stabilize Jiang Ze

, first coax him to give you some supplies to solve your urgent need."

It was already the third day after Chu Dongyu received the reply. Problems began to arise within the Chu army. Many soldiers had already eaten up the compressed dry rations, and complaints quietly rose in the army. In the end, some officers transferred their own

Moving out the small inventory solved everyone's breakfast problem.

Chu Dongyu had no choice but to take Chu Donglai's suggestion. So he came to the city again to negotiate with Jiang Ze.

"Jiang Ze, because you are not sincere, our negotiations have been delayed again and again. Now, our army's food supply has bottomed out and living materials are in short supply. By noon at most, we will attack Dal City. I understand very well.

I also know the weakness of Dal City's city defense and the blind spots of Dal City's forts, so within three hours, I can cause the city wall to collapse, and there will be at least five big holes. At that time, both of us will enter the stranglehold.

Melee combat. I’m not bragging. Even if I suffer heavy losses in this battle, I will definitely win.”

"Hey, you came to threaten me so early in the morning. I'm really scared." Jiang Ze mocked.

"Jiang Ze, I'm not kidding you, you will definitely lose." Chu Dongyu pointed at Jiang Ze from a distance, his expression extremely serious.

"Okay, no need to beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point. Do you want me to give you some supplies first to meet your urgent needs?"

"This is what you said. If you give me the supplies, we can slowly discuss the terms of exchange for Luo Erhu."

"Okay, I'll give you three days' worth first."

"Happily, I suddenly discovered that you also have advantages."

"Stop hating me. The reason I'm happy is because I've guessed that you need it. There are some things I haven't thought about yet, so I'll put it off for a few days."

In this way, Jiang Ze sent people to arrange enough supplies for 30,000 people for three days.

One of the deputy commanders couldn't sit still. He asked Jiang Ze: "Why should we give the Chu army supplies in vain? Can't we just let them go back to Nuer City to replenish it?"

Jiang Ze said helplessly: "Do you think they will leave? Their goal is to retake Dal City, and they will never leave easily if they don't achieve their goal. If they really can't get supplies, they will indeed attack by force."

"If you attack with force, attack with force. We have the advantage of defending the city. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"The advantage is not big. I only found out last night that Dal City does have loopholes. There are problems with the city wall at several points, and it is also a blind spot for the fort. In other words, if the Chu army attacks violently, the city wall will indeed

If a collapse occurs in a short period of time, it will enter into a meat-and-mortar battle. I have estimated that if a fight does occur, the possibility of both sides being injured is very high."

"We have more than 20,000 people, including more than 3,000 elites. Will we be unable to defeat them?"

"They are not a fuel-efficient lamp. Of the 30,000 Chu troops, 20,000 came from Nuer City. Previously, Nuer City sent nearly 100,000 troops to assist Zhao. However, they reserved about 30,000 elite troops.

, there are more than 20,000 of them among these Chu troops."

"No way." The deputy leader also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"If we can't take advantage of the city defense, I really don't want to fight this battle." Jiang Ze frowned.

"Can the holes in the city wall be repaired?"

"It can be repaired. It can be repaired in half a month without being disturbed. However, the Chu army will not give us a chance."

"Then what are our plans next?"
