Everything the queen says is right

"What? Besiege the city but not attack it?" The Right Prime Minister immediately raised his voice and asked: "Then how do we rescue the goddess? How can we capture the city? How can I explain to His Majesty?"

Three questions were thrown at him in a row, and the staff member was already sweating.

No, if you ask him about this, what else can he say?

"Sir, this is the most appropriate choice for us after weighing it."

He had no other choice and immediately shut up after saying this.

The right minister himself also calmed down and thought carefully for a while.

Well, he admitted that what the staff said was not unreasonable.

Now it seems that this is the only way they can do it.

Tuoba Jun was cunning and cunning. He did not know the specific situation in the city, and the morale of the army was greatly reduced by the night attack.

If they attack the city now, they will most likely encounter strong resistance. Not only will they suffer heavy losses, but they will also gain nothing.

And if they besiege the city without attacking, it will give the people in the city and Tuoba Jun a strong sense of oppression, which will weaken their will little by little. When they find the right time, they can capture the city at once. .

The self-strategy belonging to the right prime minister has been completed. He thought about it and finally gave the order loudly.

"Retreat, return to the base camp——"

Not long after he finished speaking, the soldiers ran back as if they had heard some great news.

Ah Cha, Zhu Shun and the others stood on the tower, naturally saw this in their eyes, and felt relieved.

It seems that the first hurdle has passed.

After passing the test, they only need to have a stalemate with the Prime Minister for a few more days and everything will be easy to handle.

They finished the play and returned to the house.

"Zhu Shun, find a way to sneak into the army and spread the favorable conditions in the city to the soldiers there, causing them to fear death and miss their hometown."

Since we want to conquer these soldiers, we can't be tough, and we should make our suffering more obvious.

"Zuoqiuge, you are responsible for sending someone to monitor every move of the right prime minister."

In the next few days, she still has to ensure that the right minister will not take any other actions on a whim.

"If I guess correctly, the right minister will attack the city in three days. It will be a new difficulty for us at that time. We must make detailed plans before then."

If you want to ask why Acha is so sure of the actions of the Prime Minister, it is not because she took out the life of the Prime Minister from the system log and took a closer look.

It is clearly recorded in the diary that after three days, the Right Chancellor will become so angry that he will fall into a coma that lasts for five days.

Calculating the time, this situation should only occur if the city is not captured.

She has become proficient in using system logs.

I have to say that sometimes following fate can be a really good choice.

Zhu Shun and Zuo Qiuge looked at each other. Although they were both confused as to why Acha could judge the right minister's subsequent actions with such certainty, they still made a promise.

"Yes, my subordinates will definitely fulfill their mission!"

Isn't it just to repel the Right Prime Minister? Isn't it just to protect the city?

Then let them try to see who can win with the Right Prime Minister!

In the past three days, Ah Cha has not been idle. He is either checking the construction status of the food transportation channel or inspecting the training of the personnel on the lifeboats. By the way, he has also arranged some actions to resist floods in various parts of the city.

Three days passed quickly.

The morning of the third day arrived in the blink of an eye.

In the Right Prime Minister's army, everything seems not so optimistic.

The Right Prime Minister sat high on the main seat with a cold face, full of questions, "Didn't you tell me that as long as I get a proper rest, my morale can be restored?"

"Then tell me, why is there so much depression in the army now?"

The reason why the Right Chancellor was so angry was simple. He just had a sudden idea to take a deep walk in the army this morning, only to find that almost every soldier was depressed and had no fighting spirit at all.

The aide who was called out was also very innocent.

What he said was just the most ideal situation, but morale really couldn't be improved, so we couldn't blame him.

Speaking of demoralization, there is actually a very funny story.

Ah Cha had only left half of the food and grass for them before, and since they wanted to win the battle quickly, they didn't bring much food and grass at all.

The right minister was afraid that the emperor would blame him, so he did not dare to report the burning of food and grass, but ordered that each soldier's ration be halved.

As a result, there was a sudden strong wind last night, which blew away half of their food and grass, so he ordered to reduce the rations to one-third of the original.

You must know that these soldiers are all strong-blooded people. They can't even satisfy their appetite every day, let alone their military morale.

Coupled with the sudden drop in temperature, they were now simply in a state of hunger and cold.

But the right minister doesn't care about that much, all he wants to see is the final result.

"I don't care what method you use, but the army must set off to attack the city in half an hour."

As soon as his order came out, both the staff and the deputy general were obviously stunned.

No, the right minister is completely crazy.

With the current morale in the army, how could they have the strength to attack the city.

But the right minister didn't give them a chance to argue. He raised his eyebrows and glared at them, "What are you still doing? Go and prepare for me!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

But it was very different over there at Acha.

They had prepared their response early. Even Ah Cha, Zhu Shun and the "extras" were already in place, waiting for the big show to start today.

"Your Majesty, the army is only three miles away from the city!"

Zhu Shun and Ah Cha briefly exchanged looks and immediately said: "Let them come over!"

"The army is only one mile away from the city gate!"

By this time, Zhu Shun had given some reaction.

He held Ah Cha and stood at the edge of the tower.

"Old thief, please listen to me!"

"As long as your army dares to take another step forward, I will make this witch splatter with blood on the spot!"

As he spoke, he held a sharp dagger and placed it on Ah Cha's neck. With a slight slip, blood flowed down.

Of course, that was not Ah Cha's blood, but the blood pack that she specially found in the system that was most suitable for Gong Dou.

Anyway, there is still a long way to go from the Prime Minister, and seeing the bright red blood flowing down is enough to scare the Prime Minister.

Sure enough, the right minister was immediately frightened.

He wanted to use Tuoba Jun's hand to let Acha die here, but not now.

"stop!"

"I want to talk to you!"

After thinking about it, he still felt that he should talk to Tuoba Jun carefully.

"Talk? Old thief, why do you think I want to talk to you?"

Zhu Shun has not forgotten his current identity. As a powerful prince, he naturally does not have to wrong himself when facing a mere right-wing prime minister.

After hearing what he said, the right minister's expression changed drastically.

Refuting his face in front of a hundred thousand troops, King Ding'an completely ignored him.

Then I must give King Ding An a look.

However, this look was not what he could give now. He already had a very vicious plan in mind, and he was going to coax Tuoba Jun down first and then spread the poisonous powder hidden in his sleeves.

He had already taken the antidote in advance. This poisonous powder would invade a person's internal organs the moment it was inhaled. If it were placed on Tuoba Jun, it would be death.

With this thought in mind, both his tone and attitude became very sincere.

"I am just here to encircle and suppress you on His Majesty's order, but I have some friendship with the prince before, and I know the prince well, so there must be a big misunderstanding."

"As long as the prince is willing to talk to me alone, I don't mind reporting the prince's difficulties to your majesty."

Tsk tsk tsk, at this point, I still only use the trick of inducement.

It was just a matter of switching to something more tempting, but I chose a useless thing like the Dog Emperor.

This time, Zhu Shun knew how to deal with the right prime minister without Ah Cha quietly coaching him on his lines.

"Old thief, please listen to me. If you want to talk to me, then walk to the city gate alone, and I will welcome you into the city for a detailed discussion."

Want to enter the city alone?
  The right minister was not stupid, so he immediately stopped and said, "King Ding'an, you are too insincere."

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhu Shun turned his head to his side, "I will put Zuo Qiuge in your army as a hostage."

"Presumably under the defense of your [-] troops, he will not be able to escape even if he has three heads and six arms."

Not to mention, this point really attracted the Right Prime Minister.

He didn't dare to let Tuoba Jun exchange Acha into his own army as a hostage.

After all, Ah Cha is the person named by the emperor who must be rescued, so even if Tuoba Jun regrets and cannot return to the army, Ah Cha's safety must be guaranteed.

Otherwise, even if he survives and returns to the capital, he will still be questioned and punished by the emperor.

But Zuo Qiuge was different. He was very clear about Zuo Qiuge's status and role around Tuoba Jun.

Even if Tuoba Jun regrets temporarily, his own people will try their best to extract Tuoba Jun's secrets from Zuoqiuge.

And he can threaten Tuoba Jun in exchange.

The more the right minister thought about it, the more it made sense, and he felt that he had thought it through very carefully, so he agreed very simply.

"Okay, I am willing to come and discuss it in detail."

Look, they are so sincere, can they still be bad?

So Zhu Shun just raised his head slightly, and Zuo Qiuge rushed to the city gate at extremely fast speed.

When the city gate slowly opened, Zuo Qiuge and You Xiang met.

Anyway, Zuoqiuge rushed towards the Right Prime Minister's army without any hesitation.

He is tasked with persuading surrender, so why not disturb the morale of the troops?
  The right minister didn't know anything about it yet, so he entered the city with a hypocritical smile while sizing up the situation in the city.

Zhu Shun had already handed over the task of holding Ah Cha hostage to others, and sat high on the Grand Master's chair, which was still some distance away from the right minister.

"Old thief, remember to speak louder when you speak to me. My ears are not very good."

Because he was worried that the right minister would discover the secret that he was not Tuoba Jun, that's why he stayed so far away.

Just after he was in danger, an entire army was defeated, and the Right Prime Minister felt uncomfortable.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

He was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers. Even if they killed him, they would not dare to anger Tuoba Jun at this time. But now he can't go back, and there is no way to regret it.

So he was forced to lower his head.

"King Ding'an, maybe we can sit down and talk it over if we have anything to say. There is no need to go to war."

"Tell me what you're talking about?" Zhu Shun pointed at the city gate casually with both hands, "Then why don't you open your eyes and take a good look at the [-]-strong army outside."

"If you are willing to bring the army back to the capital, then I would not mind having a good talk with you."

"But this is His Majesty's order..."

Zhu Shun deliberately looked impatient and raised his hand, "Old thief, please stop talking nonsense to me."

"My meaning is very simple. If the Dog Emperor still wants to save this witch and prolong his life, then he must withdraw his troops as soon as possible, otherwise——"

"I will kill all the people in the city. If you threaten this demon girl with the people in the city, how will she choose?"

"That's enough! If it weren't for the sake of the people, I would have killed you, the rebel, on the spot!"

Ah Cha's words at the right time gave the right minister, whose mind was in chaos, a glimmer of hope.

He seems to be able to unite with the goddess to deal with King Ding'an together.

"My lord, please don't be angry. I will write a letter to Your Majesty and will withdraw the troops as soon as possible."

"Oh? The right minister has decided to withdraw the troops?"

"Yes, I will withdraw the troops, but I would like to ask the prince to give me some buffer time."

"Want some buffering time?" Zhu Shun looked at him provocatively, with a playful heart in his heart, "Then the right minister should show some sincerity to me."

"You don't need me to hand over the unfounded truth to you."

Sincerity?

This time the right minister was completely confused.

No, he has already agreed, so what more sincerity is needed?

But under the scrutiny of Zhu Shun's eyes and the pressure from around him, he still asked tremblingly: "May I ask what sincerity the prince wants?"

Very good, isn’t the climax coming?
  "I don't ask for much, just kneel down and show my sincerity."

kneel down? Still showing sincerity?
  After hearing this, Ah Cha, who was being held behind, almost laughed out loud unkindly.

Only Zhu Shun dares to think about it.

Look at the expression on the right Prime Minister's face, it's not even the slightest bit worse.

And Zhu Shun's words were smashed down.

"What? The right minister doesn't have the sincerity to show it?"

"Then I don't mind letting the soldiers show off to the right minister."

As he said that, he winked at the guard beside the right minister.

The guard took a step forward and immediately drew out his sword, as if he was about to attack the right minister.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Under the threat of absolute power, the right prime minister knelt down without any hesitation.

"It's because I'm not a good official and I've made the prince angry. I want him to punish me."

Now as long as he can save his own life, let alone kneel down, it will be fine even if he is allowed to do something.

"Your Excellency, don't be nervous, sit down and have a sip of hot tea."

As he said that, someone brought him tea and a chair, and forced him to sit on it.

He opened his mouth to refuse, but Zhu Shun had already looked away and no longer looked at him.

At this time, the Right Prime Minister was holding his breath in his heart, unable to move up or down, and was congested.

As the commander of an army, he had knelt down in front of the enemy commander in such humiliation just now, but he still had no ability to fight back.

How could this make him not feel aggrieved?

But Zhu Shun didn't know these thoughts in his mind.

Zhu Shun just wanted to give the right prime minister a slight blow to his self-confidence and buy some time for Zuo Qiuge.

But he said that Zuoqiuge was indeed very successful among the army.

To be more precise, it should be that as soon as he entered the army, he turned into a loach, used Qinggong to wander around, and no one could catch him.

Forget it, and like a magic trick, he took out a thick stack of propaganda paper from his sleeve and distributed it everywhere.

The content printed on the paper was very simple, all describing the beautiful life in their city, in order to arouse the homesickness of these soldiers.

"Catch him quickly!"

"We can't let him go!"

It was the deputy general and the right minister's staff who reacted first and issued the order immediately.

But after reading the propaganda paper, will the soldiers still obey their orders?

So there was silence among the army, and no one made any move.

Zuoqiuge naturally wandered around more easily, and randomly selected a relatively central location to speak with his own inner strength.

"Soldiers, I am also a citizen of Daxing, and I can understand your difficulties."

"You traveled across mountains and rivers just to encircle and suppress King Ding'an, but have you ever thought about why King Ding'an did this?"

"In this land, there will soon be heavy rains that have never happened in a century for several consecutive days. After the heavy rains, there will be floods. However, the Dog Emperor only eats and has fun in the palace. He does not care about the life and death of the people. There is nothing that King Ding'an can do. , that’s why you came up with this bad idea!”

"King Ding'an knows that you are homesick and will not make things difficult for you. As long as you are willing to surrender, he is willing to open the city gate for you!"

After Zuoqiuge finished speaking, the silence of the army became even more obvious.

Yes, none of them want to fall into the flames of war.

The King of Ding'an has already made a promise, so it would be better than the right minister now letting them suffer from hunger and cold.

"It's all a lie! He's lying to you!"

"Don't trust this lackey of King Ding'an!"

The deputy general's scolding came from a distance, but Zuoqiuge's disdain was even deeper.

What he wanted to say and what he had to do has been done. As for whether the soldiers will surrender, it will take a few more days to settle.

And he should teach these bastards a lesson.

With this thought in mind, he jumped to the front of the army, picked up the stick he snatched from the army, beat the deputy general and his staff severely, and then returned to the city gate gracefully.

Seeing that it was him, the guards naturally opened the city gate for him.

Zuo Qiuge has returned, and Zhu Shun has no intention of keeping the right minister anymore, and directly issues an eviction order.

"Right Prime Minister, please go slowly without seeing me off."

At first glance, he saw that the right prime minister who was supposed to be a hostage in his own army was still a little unresponsive. He reacted with his feet before his brain and walked out of the city gate.

By the time he reacted, it was too late, the city gate had already been closed.

He had no choice but to walk back to the army in despair.

He was even thinking about how he should ask Zuoqiug during his cross-examination.

But the first thing that shocked him was the promotional paper.

The breeze blowing on his face is the most comfortable thing, but it would be too bad if the breeze sticks the promotional paper on his face.

He angrily pulled open the promotional paper and read the contents.

You don't know the result, but the anger you are holding back becomes even stronger when you see him in front of Zhu Shun.

Even though he was humiliated among the enemy's army, the enemy's hostages could still distribute propaganda papers among his own army.

The second person who shocked him was the deputy general and staff.

"Why are there two...fat pigs in front of my army?"

"Master, I am a subordinate."

"Coach, I am your lieutenant general."

Two mourning sounds blasted in his ears, and the right minister felt that his whole body was not well.

But it's not over yet.

He was surprised to find that for some reason, the soldiers in the army looked at him with a hint of anger.

"What happened in the army?"

"Then what did Zuoqiuge do in the army?"

"Back to the master... When he came to the army, it was like entering and exiting an uninhabited land, distributing propaganda paper, and..."

Although he felt a sweet taste well up in his throat, the right minister still asked: "What else did you do?"

"Also persuaded the soldiers to surrender..."

Good guy, after hearing what the right minister said, he felt the sweet smell in his throat broke through all the obstacles, and a strong anger burst out from his chest, and then his brain was instantly filled with blood, knocking him to the ground.

Just like that, in front of the soldiers, he fainted gorgeously at the front of Li's army.

The staff and deputy generals who were beaten into pig heads looked at each other and were at a loss, so they had to give the order to retreat again.

"Retreat! Retreat—"

Looking at the retreating figure of the army, Zhu Shun sighed, "The right prime minister has finally left."

It's not in vain that they have been studying what kind of method is more suitable to deal with the army for so many days.

Zuoqiuge also felt a little emotional, "It's a big effort, but then it fades, and three times it's exhausted."

"This is the second time that they have retreated without success. I believe that after this time, they will not come back again."

Acha also added: "We should really prepare for the coming floods."

The right minister indeed vomited blood and fell into a coma as recorded in the system log. In other words, their army would be without a coach for at least five days.

The right minister's deputy generals and staff were all taught a lesson by Zuo Qiuge, so there will be no one in the right minister's army who can really make suggestions in a short time.

In addition, the Right Prime Minister blocked the news from the Dog Emperor and adopted the method of reporting good news but not worrying. Then they could take advantage of the five days when the Right Prime Minister was unconscious to complete the final deployment before the heavy rain came.

In particular, lifeboats should be put into the river.

"It will be more difficult for us in the days before the heavy rain falls."

"You are first responsible for going from house to house to inform them that heavy rain is coming and let them prepare for flooding."

"You also need to tell them about the role of the lifeboat in advance, especially women and children, so that they can be mentally prepared first, so that they will not be able to accept it when the time comes."

"Finally, we also need to transport the lifeboats out first for use when floods come."
