As soon as this military strategy was proposed by Shen Qingjun, it was recognized by others, including Shen Qingjun's retainers and the military commanders of the Phoenix Guard.

In order to express her support for Shen Qingjun, Wei Wen even took the initiative to ask to be a pioneer in Sihe County and preside over the delaying task.

But she didn't expect that her initiative to ask for orders was ignored by Shen Qingjun. Instead, the matter was handed over to Gao Lingying and another Phoenix Army Commander Liu He.

Therefore, Wei Wen felt that since Shen Qingjun did not leave such an important matter to her, she felt that Shen Qingjun was looking down on her and did not believe in her abilities, so she had been angry with Shen Qingjun for more than 20 days.

The kind that Shen Qingjun can't coax no matter how hard he tries.

But today, it seems to work!

In fact, it's not that Shen Qingjun doesn't believe in Wei Wen's ability. After all, even if Wei Wen is not capable, the retainers behind her are not vegetarians. They can definitely assist Wei Wen in completing this task, but...

"Wenwen, you insist on going. I don't agree not because I don't believe in your ability." Shen Qingjun put her hand on Wei Wen's shoulder. This time she did not refuse. After all, today Wei Wen took the initiative to come to Shen Qingjun just to make peace. .

"If it's not for this, what else could it be for? Tell me, I'll listen to your excuses."

"Wenwen, let me ask you, if you were guarding the city and saw the thieves holding knives and holding skinny people under the city, and then the hungry people were crying and begging you to open the door and save them, they were innocent. When the time comes, will you hesitate?"

"Okay, you toughen your heart and refuse Qingzhuang's request for help, but the bandits will not give up, and they will still threaten you... But this time the targets are no longer hungry people, but yellow-haired children!~
When they put the knives on the necks of these children again, they came to the city wall and threatened you again to open the city gate...and told you that if you didn't open the city gate, they would kill ten children in front of you. , can you still be so cruel and turn a blind eye?Can you resist leaving the city and taking action? "

Shen Qingjun looked into Wei Wen's eyes, "I know, you can't! Maybe you can in the future, but you don't have such a hard heart now!"

"Okay, after your retainers persuade you to stop him and not open the door, they will use more inhumane methods to force you out of the city. They will capture the nearby people. This time they will not threaten you directly, but the people in the city. Those young men who defend your city!
In a small county town, everyone is related to each other. The young people in the city see that their parents, wives, children, sisters, uncles... are all in the hands of the rebel army. They beg you to open the door and save their relatives. It's really that time. , the military morale is shaken, what should you do. "

"Will you simply kill the shaken young and strong civilians to stabilize the morale of the army?"

"I..." Wei Wen was shocked, how could there be such a heartless person in the world!
"You won't. Although you rejected the young men's call for help, you won't point the knife at them, because they are also innocent people!"

"You sent them down the city wall because you knew that they would be troublesome if they couldn't do anything to their loved ones. You called in your personal guards and started to defend the city...

Your personal guards will not be moved by the tactics of the traitor army. They obeyed orders and the traitor army began to attack the city. However, the people sent by the traitor army to attack the city were batches of civilians. You and your people were weak in killing, but they killed They are all innocent people..."

"Are the thieves so cruel?"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think they were able to capture a county town in three to five days? Since they started to rebel, they have now captured more than a dozen county towns. It is because the magistrates of some counties cannot bear the threat of the rebels and take the initiative to open the country. The city gates... There are also some county towns where the young men in the city couldn't bear to see their families being killed by the bandits, so they quietly opened the city gates..."

"Of course, with the help of your retainers, you were not threatened and guarded the young people in the city. But when all the young people in Sihe County died because of my plan of 'catching turtles in the jar', in the end the city gate was still blocked. Once the attack is broken, can you bear it when they curse you loudly?"

Shen Qingjun sighed,
"Yes, for Gao Ling Ying Liu and them, the military order I gave them was: 'Keep the bandits in Sihe County to buy time for our army to encircle and suppress the bandits.' But I did not ask them to do so in Sihe County. To hold on.

"If Sihe County is captured before my army arrives, the lives of the people in Sihe County will be considered bad. They have tried their best... and I have tried my best..." Shen Qingjun expressed his cruel true thoughts in a calm tone, that is, If nothing can be done, the people of Sihe County can be given up!
"Compassion does not govern troops, and justice does not manage finances! Moreover, your troops and Phoenix Guards officers are also human beings. They will also get tired. Without the help of local people, you will not be able to hold on for half a month. What are you going to do? What about the solution?"

"I...I..." Wei Wen's face turned green and white, and she felt angry and annoyed in her heart. She wanted to say that she could overcome difficulties and be tough-hearted, but she was not that kind of person. She didn't want to be tough, but she felt I can’t live with my face.

"Qingjun...Qingjun...I..." Just when Wei Wen's fingers were about to be broken by herself, she didn't know how to deal with herself.

Wang Biao, who had been paying attention to this place, came in with a roasted hare. His arrival relieved Wei Wen's embarrassment.

"Miss, the boys went to the mountains to hunt some game, and Wei Dutong is here too!" Shen Qingjun had already seen Wang Biao coming, but Wei Wen had her back to the tent, so she didn't see it.While Shen Qingjun was talking to Wei Wen, he stood outside silently.

"Wei Dutong, do you want to have dinner with our eldest lady? You two have such a good relationship! Then I'll bring your meal over and I'll go first."

In the tent, Shen Qingjun looked at Wang Biao running away, and he sighed a little in his heart. People should not be judged by their appearance. If they just looked at their faces, who would know that this kid is actually a delicate and clever person?

In fact, Shen Qingjun had already noticed it from Wang Biao's words and deeds. For example, when Qiu Lie beat Xiao Han Buqu that time, he might have been fooled by Wang Biao's honest look.

In fact, if you think about it, Mother Shen is also a shrewd person. How could she choose someone like this to be sent to her daughter?

He took off a rabbit's hind leg and handed it to Wei Wen. "Okay, you've been walking for a day, you must be tired too! Eat some meat!" Shen Qingjun spoke to relieve her embarrassment.

Wei Wen took Shen Qingjun's rabbit leg and chewed it hard. She was shocked today...

Time goes back fifteen days to Sihe County,

The people here are busy building fortifications outside the city, digging trenches, raising parapets, and storing stones, sand and other tools for defense.

Gao Lingying led the army this time. As an aide, Shen Qingjun gave him two hundred flying cavalry to protect him. As the commander of the Phoenix Guard, Liu He also brought two hundred personal troops and three hundred Phoenix Guard soldiers. This The 700 people are all top-notch elite soldiers in the Wei Dynasty...
