Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 268 Siege Strategy
"The crimes committed vary from light to serious, but they are all the same here. As long as she makes a mistake, I can't tolerate her staying in the mansion, no matter how big or small the mistake is."

With that said, Zhao Min walked up to Xiu'er and squatted down: "Remember your own identity, this punishment is already lenient, you must know that if I really want to punish you, there will naturally be many things that will make you angry." It's better than death."

Xiu'er's forehead was soaked in cold sweat, until this moment she was really afraid, and realized that Zhao Min in front of her was not a little white rabbit who didn't understand anything.

"Princess, please forgive me. Just now, Xiu'er was confused for a while, and she didn't mean it." As she said that, Xiu'er kowtowed vigorously, hitting the ground with her head, making a muffled sound.

It wasn't until seeing bloodstains on the ground that Zhao Min withdrew his gaze, stood up, and said slowly: "I hope you all take today's incident as a warning, I am usually easy to talk, and for you to claim that I am already my With the greatest sincerity, I also hope that you will correct your mentality and do things in a down-to-earth manner, and I will naturally not intentionally trouble you."

Saying that, Zhao Min winked at Nanny Gu, telling her to stay and deal with the current situation, and leave alone.

Xiu'er was still kowtowing her head, she was so terrified in her heart that she didn't notice what was going on around her, she couldn't hear anything in her ears, and she didn't react until the two servants dragged her out. Come here, struggling hard.

But Naihe's strength was too weak, so they could only be dragged out by two servants, and they didn't drag them out from the front door. The crowd threw the seven of them out directly from the back door, and they didn't even let them pack their luggage.

Seeing them being thrown out, Gu Nai let out a howling sound of ghosts and wolves, and immediately frowned, took out seven money bags from her arms, and threw them to them respectively.

"After all, the princess is soft-hearted. These are for you. I hope you can correct your evil and return to the right after you leave the palace."

After finishing speaking, Nanny Gu closed the back door tightly with a "bang".

Xiu'er froze in place, still sad about what happened just now, while the others had already left with the money and accepted the fact.

Tianzhu looked at the piece of money left on the ground, directly picked it up and put it in his arms.

Seeing his action, Xiu'er immediately stood up, stepped forward, and grabbed his arm: "What are you doing? That's my money, return it to me!"

Tianzhu directly waved her and pushed her to the ground: "Just now, in order to protect yourself, you didn't hesitate to use me as a stepping stone, you are really cruel!"

Xiu'er was pushed to the ground, rubbing her hands on the ground, blood oozing out instantly.

Tianzhu didn't mean to be sympathetic at all, instead he said with disdain: "You face, if you go to a brothel, you might be able to get a top spot!" Tianzhu laughed loudly and walked away.

Regardless of the pain in her palm, Xiu'er tightly clenched her fists, looked at Prince Ling's mansion full of hatred, then got up and left.

"Princess, these are the clothes delivered by Yunyifang this morning. You can choose a few sets that look good and keep them. Aren't you going to attend the princess's banquet in a few days?"

Zhao Min was fiddling with her medicinal materials at the table. After hearing what Nanny Gu said, she put down the medicinal materials in her hand, clapped her hands, walked to the wooden basin beside her, washed her hands before coming to the front.

Looking at the clothes in the hands of the servant girl, Zhao Min randomly ordered a few sets and kept them. When it comes to clothes, she has never been picky, and her consistent rule is how light and light she is.

When mentioning the banquet of the Crown Princess three days later, Zhao Min always felt uneasy.

Gu Momo saw the worry in her heart, and comforted her: "Princess, don't worry, the old slave will never leave her every step of the way, and there will be absolutely no accidents."

Zhao Min nodded: "Forget it, it's useless to talk more." Then she went to the table and fiddled with her own medicinal materials.

"Right?" Zhao Min suddenly remembered something, "How is Yutingxuan rebuilt?"

"It is being restored according to the original appearance, and it may take time to complete it!" Gu Momo just went to Yutingxuan to have a look this morning, and the process is not slow, but if it is really exactly the same as before, it is true It will take some time to work.

"After the rebuilding of Yutingxuan is completed, let's move there." Zhao Min is still used to living in Yutingxuan.

"General, we are almost here. There are still three days away from Wangcheng."

Along the way, the surroundings are covered with snow. If it is not for a strong sense of direction, it is really easy to get lost in this ice and snow.

Gu Lingqing looked at the overwhelming snow scene, and turned back to the tent.

Putting the topographic map near Wangcheng on the ground, Gu Lingqing pointed to a valley on the left, "We will set up camp here."

After Lu Nan glanced at the place Gu Lingqing pointed to, she had no objection, and nodded lightly: "Okay."

"Here, here, here, and here, these towns must be connected in a line to ensure that our army has a constant supply of food."

Apparently, Gu Lingqing had already considered that capturing Wangcheng was not an easy task, and it would definitely not be possible in a short period of time. The army's food became the biggest problem.

"No matter what happens, the ration cannot be broken."

This Wangcheng is in a world of ice and snow. On weekdays, people have long been used to growing all kinds of food indoors, and there are even special houses for growing food. They can completely isolate themselves from the outside world and live alone in this world.

The method of besieging them and waiting until they run out of food is obviously not feasible.

"Deputy General Lu, how many soldiers are there in Wangcheng?"

Lu Nan thought about it for a while, and then said slowly: "5000 troops."

Gu Lingqing kept rubbing her fingers and fell into deep thought: "I'm afraid this number is also underreported."

"Wangcheng is located on a high ground. It is really difficult for us to attack from the bottom up." Lu Nan has rich experience in fighting, and such terrain is indeed not easy to attack.

Gu Lingqing naturally understands this matter. Although he has an army of [-], he still cannot take it lightly. The matter of attacking Wangcheng needs a long-term plan.

On the wall of Wangcheng City Gate, Gu Qi looked into the distance. Although it was only a patch of snow, he seemed to be able to see through the snow to see things in the distance. He had been standing here for half an hour.

I saw him holding a stove in his hand, wearing a cloak, standing in the cold wind, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and a faint look of anticipation in his eyes: "Brother, I will wait here."
