Zhou Zaixing didn't even glance at the cottage, and asked directly: "I don't know how many people there are in the enemy and our army, and what is the morale of the equipment, how many days has it been under siege like this?" ”

"The number of people in the cottage should be seven to eight thousand, the effective combat power should be about three or four thousand, the armament is not perfect, many are holding farm tools, our army sent eight thousand troops to encircle and suppress, the armament is excellent, so the siege has been five days, but the cottage is not panicked at all, it can be seen that its food reserves are abundant, and it may even dig a large pool, you have also seen, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is not worth attacking." Xiao Jiwen explained with interest.

In fact, if it is to attack something else, Zhou Zaixing really doesn't have any way, but it just so happens that what they train the most is how to sneak in, and the most of them is the cottage.

After all, it was trained in Chenghuizhou, and there were still some mountain bandit camps left in that area, although the number of people was far inferior, but they were all the same cottages, and the mountain bandits were not fools, and it was impossible to build a village on a hill casually, which did not mean that the terrain was dangerous? And the mountain, which can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, will not be exaggerated no matter how dangerous it is, otherwise the transportation of materials will be a big problem.

The most suitable direction of attack is naturally the gate of the camp, but the mountain peak, it is originally rushed from the bottom to the top, which is not good, and as long as the opposite side is defended, the number of people is more concentrated, and it is not good to make a trouble, and people may not be able to fight down after fighting.

"Can't you build a catapult and attack it with fire?" Zhou Zaixing asked tentatively, anyway, he definitely didn't know how to make it.

"You can make it, the other party doesn't have many arrows, and it can't be suppressed, but I won't tell you, I want food in the village." Xiao Yuwen sighed and said.

Zhou Zaixing's expression was solemn, and he said in his heart that as his young master said, Her Royal Highness the princess was really short of food, he carefully observed the entire cottage, for them after training, there are still places that are conducive to climbing, but it is useless for the five of them to climb up, the gate must be a defensive place, it may not be able to open smoothly, and it is not for Zhou Shaoyu's life, there is no need to take this risk.

But you can't embarrass your son-in-law, regardless of good ideas or bad ideas, you have to say something.

In the past, he followed Zhou Shaoyu around, everything just needs to obey orders, and he doesn't need to think specifically, but now he can't, although he is walking outside, but after all, Zhou Shaoyu sent him out, representing the face of his own young master, if there is no opinion, then how to do it.

Zhou Zaixing's background is very low, it is difficult to say that he was born with mud legs, and then he became a disaster victim, refugee and homeless person, everything he has learned so far is from Zhou Shaoyu, so thinking about it, it is natural to think about what Zhou Shaoyu usually said.

"I wonder what the character of the opposing guard is?" Zhou Zaixing's fierce eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something.

"Cunning, very vigilant, the slightest mistake will run away, and it took a lot of effort to block it here." Speaking of this, Xiao Jiwen's teeth itched with hatred, and she didn't suffer less. Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean ......?"

"The young master once said that there are certainly people in this world who are not afraid of death, but ants still steal life, and cunning rabbits also have three holes, and they are cunning people......" Zhou Zaixing arched his hand.

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xiao Yaowen immediately got up and shouted: "Come on, quickly order someone to go around the mountain to search carefully, to find out if there is a secret passage, and the first to discover it will be promoted to one level." ”

"Indeed, that guy is extremely cunning and cautious, and wants to rely on this cottage to save his life? It's impossible, but there's a good chance of a dark passage. Turning his head, he said to Zhou Zaixing with satisfaction: "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

"......Forehead" Zhou Zaixing was also taken aback by Xiao Jiao's decisiveness, and hurriedly said when he heard the words: "There may be a dark road, but it is not necessarily, the mountain peak is steep, it is difficult to go up and down, as long as the rope is firm, you can always risk down, and His Royal Highness's army cannot surround the cottage, yes, you can also use a strategy." ”

"What's the best way to do it quickly?" Xiao Jiwen sat down again, and her mood was obviously much better.

"The young master once said that the army is plotting, and the heart is the first, and His Royal Highness wants to take his food, but he does not want to attack with fire, but the other party does not know, if he ......"

Zhou Zaixing just made a start, Xiao Jiao slapped her palms, and said in her heart why she didn't think of this, got up again, and shouted: "Come on, quickly order people to start building catapults, and the rest of the soldiers will cut down trees, and be sure to put the posture that our army is going to forcibly attack."

In addition, let people shout, our army will burn down this village in the near future, the first 1,000 who take the initiative to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, exempt from all crimes, can return to their hometowns for good, the first 2,000 can be exempted from their crimes by serving one year of forced labor, the first 3,000 for three years, and, for the time being, do it quickly. ”

In fact, it's no wonder that Xiao Jiwen didn't expect that this is a fan of the authorities, Xiao Jiwen is full of thoughts about how to take this cottage under the condition of ensuring that the grain and grass in the village are not destroyed, under such a premise, how can she consider using this way to scare. As for scaring with brute force? Ha, this person is not afraid of good or bad at all.

Now it is a nationwide drought, even Shuzhou is extremely rainless, in order to connect a few days without dripping, a lonely mountain, a fire down, to ensure that everything is clean, Xiao Jiaowen let the sergeant put on such a posture, it is strange that people in the cottage are not panicked.

"Are you interested in coming to my account?" After the order, Xiao Jiwen looked at Zhou Zaixing with admiration.

"Thank you Your Highness for your love, I am just a domestic slave, and I really don't dare to climb high." Zhou Zaixing gave up his hand again, and refused without thinking about it, he didn't consider betraying Zhou Shaoyu and voting for something else, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to become a slave and changed his surname to Zhou.

Xiao Yaowen was not disappointed, it was expected, otherwise Zhou Shaoyu's vision would be too bad, and the team leader sent out would have rebelled casually, which was embarrassing, and she really agreed, and Xiao Xiaoyu didn't dare to reuse it.

On the contrary, I was more interested in Zhou Shaoyu, I thought that Zhou Shaoyu was only good at writing, and by his name, it could be regarded as opening the way for scholars, although Xiao Yaoyu was a woman, she had an advantage that Zhou Shaoyu did not have, that is, she was a member of the royal family.

Even if there are not too many scholars who come to defect because of her daughter's loss, she is better than Zhou Shaoyu, but Xiao Xiao's wife still doesn't know that Zhou Shaoyu's secret development is.

can train soldiers, can plan, and the people trained around him are also talents. What Xiao Jiwen was thinking about at the moment was how to get Zhou Shaoyu over to give advice and leave her in Tanzhou leisurely, it was too wasteful of talents.

"No one can stop me from reviving the pillars."

Under the banner of the Great Liang Army fluttering in the wind, Xiao Jiwen's eyes were resolute, looking at the mountain not far away, thinking so in her heart.

Fucheng, Shanhuai Street.

Feng Ji, who is dressed in a colorful and exquisite group, can be said to be as eye-catching as she is, even through the gauze curtain, she still can't stop the fiery searching eyes outside.

Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, in his impression, Feng Ji has always been low-key and elegant, but it is the first time to see such a fancy dress, it feels a little inconsistent with Feng Ji's style, no matter what identity she has behind her back, at least, there was a name for the Beijing Oiran before, the kind of place in the Beijing Division, the world is eye-catching, how can an Oiran be famous, if it is said that it is because of the finals of a small Shanhuai Poetry Conference, it really makes no sense.

Something is going to happen! Zhou Shaoyu's heart jumped, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Feng Ji, the female official of the Nutan Palace, has seen all the celebrities." As soon as Feng Ji spoke, she almost didn't look at her, pitying the man who arranged the gentleman's poetry conference with her and the Qinglou woman of Ailian Pavilion, especially the latter, such a good opportunity to show her face was gone.

At first, if I was still attracted by her dress and vague beauty, then as soon as the name came out, the scene suddenly fell silent, and then immediately there was an uproar.

"Tan Wangfu Feng Ji?" Exclamations erupted. "Isn't that the Kyoshi Oiran Feng Ji a few months ago!"

"If it weren't for her, who else in the world would dare to call Feng Ji?" Someone takes it for granted.

So immediately someone maliciously speculated: "The female official of the Tan Wangfu? I think eighty percent is the forbidden belly of the king of Tan. ”

Such words are very marketable, Feng Ji's name is too loud, most of them have never seen it, but they have heard of it, since they can become the existence of the Jingshi Oiran, can the appearance be poor? Just kidding, isn't it. In this case, it's normal for King Tan to be intentional, no, it should be said that it should be so, otherwise he was specially brought out from Jingshi but just let him be a female official of the palace to deal with internal affairs, King Tan is a saint.

But this is Tanzhou, or Fucheng, it is currently the territory of King Tan, and you have to be quiet when you say such things, but there are many people who can't stand it, and it's hard not to hear a few words now, almost all of a sudden, Feng Ji was pushed to the cusp.

Zhou Shaoyu pinched his chin, the bad premonition became deeper and deeper, Feng Ji definitely belongs to a smart woman, and she has been a famous prostitute, she will definitely expect that those gossips will appear, since this is the case, why is it still such a high-profile appearance?

Sure enough, I only heard Feng Ji increase her volume a little, but her voice was still soft, and the people who ate melons were also curious about what she would say, so they quickly quieted down.

"Being so wantonly speculated, a slave woman, it's a big deal not to go out in the future, but without explanation, firstly, it will damage the name of the king of Tan, and secondly, it will be ashamed of Zhou Gongzi."

Zhou Shaoyu covered his head, yes, it's coming!

"That's it, who is Gongzi Zhou?" Everyone was puzzled, wouldn't it be Zhou Shaoyu again, he had just received a Haoyue, and another Feng Ji? Don't.

"King Tan has experienced ups and downs, but he is a rare upright person, the slave admires, besides, the slave has long been fond of Zhou Gongzi, the king of Tan has a word, after two years of slavery, you can leave the palace and marry into the Zhou family, I hope you don't want to talk nonsense." Feng Ji's voice was softened, without a trace of annoyance, but with a look of affection when she mentioned Zhou Gongzi.

"I remembered, it's Zhou Shaoyu!" The fool said in a very jealous voice. "Zhou Shaoyu, Feng Ji, the famous Feng Qiuhuang! There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy. The phoenix soars, and the four seas seek the phoenix ......"

"What? Feng Qiu Huang was made by Zhou Shaoyu for Feng Ji? This time, on the contrary, the movement in Shanhuai Street is greater, after this article and this song spread, it has become the favorite between men and women to express their emotions to each other, but the creator has always been a little unsure, and when he heard that it was Zhou Shaoyu, he also took it for granted.

Judging from Feng Ji's name, it should be Zhou Shaoyu that Feng Ji originally pursued, and then Zhou Shaoyu made such a song. The women think that Zhou Shaoyu is talented but also affectionate, and the men are jealous with a capital letter!

Brother, is it good to leave a few ways for the brothers to live.

Li Xiangjun originally wanted to make fun of Zhou Shaoyu, but seeing Zhou Shaoyu's solemn face, his brows were furrowed, and he was obviously thinking about something, so he had to stop, it seems that things are not so simple.

Zhou Shaoyu is indeed thinking about it, Feng Ji's routine is already obvious, with Feng Ji's intelligence, she will not guess the reaction of these people today, so it becomes logical for her to explain it specially, and then she doesn't have to think about it, it is to directly disclose her affairs with Zhou Shaoyu, but what good is this for her? What is the real purpose?

It can't be said that after determining the relationship with himself in front of the public, after a while, there will be a drama of a man liking the new and hating the old, although it is true that the reputation will be ruined, but it will not be too powerful, in the final analysis, this is still a patriarchal society, no matter how famous Feng Ji is, no matter how famous she is, no matter how famous she is, she is also born as a prostitute, and her identity is not equal, even if she plays with it, at most, she will report her grievances in one day, and nothing else will have any effect, but Feng Ji's own reputation must be stinky, and it is difficult to raise her head again.

If this is not the case, what is the real purpose of doing so? Do you really like yourself? Don't make a fuss, maybe be curious, maybe be kind. As for love? Not yet.

Zhou Shaoyu was very upset, and said that this guy was in trouble, there was Prime Minister Gao standing behind him before, and he had scruples, but now at least King Tan is standing behind him, and he also has scruples.

As Zhou Shaoyu guessed, Feng Ji then generously admitted her relationship with Zhou Shaoyu and expressed Li Qingzhao's respect.

At night, Zhou Shaoyu's face was very pale, Haoyue's matter was not too easy to say, and even at this moment, Feng Ji was suddenly so high-profile and unpredictable, and what made Zhou Shaoyu even more angry was that the top three in the Shanhuai Poetry Conference, the first Feng Ji, the second and third, were all not members of the Shanhuai Pavilion.

"This Tan King!" Zhou Shaoyu was secretly angry.

Zhou Shaoyu's original intention of holding this poetry conference was to promote his reputation, as well as to attract cohesion and expand the influence of his network, this is good, the gentleman's poetry conference over there, because of his identity, Zhou Shaoyu could not be blatant, so he could only try slowly, but the king of Tan didn't care, he was directly crowned official.

This can be regarded as peach picking, but Zhou Shaoyu doesn't care, because he doesn't have any need for scholars now, it's just to pave the way for the future, but Shanhuai Pavilion is very important.

At present, King Tan also has the idea of enabling women, the female Xiucai is to explore the way, Zhou Shaoyu should have thought of it a long time ago, since he wants to explore the way, then the woman who has obtained the female Xiucai must be able to be used by him, and the members of Shanhuai Pavilion may not agree. In order to keep everything under control, it is normal for King Tan to intervene in arranging his own people.

It stands to reason that the judges of Shanhuai Pavilion are all their own sisters, and this will not be the case, but at this time, several old Confucian scholars in charge of the gentleman's poetry interjected, and their attitudes were tough, and they had a posture of doing things if they didn't agree, considering the old qualifications and influence of these people, except for Feng Ji, who was not controversial, others had to compromise.

It's no wonder that King Tan gave face to the poetry conference at the beginning, and he was preparing for himself at all.
