In the early morning, the sun rose in the east, and Jurong City and the two camps outside the city were bathed in the sunshine. One city and two camps formed the word "Pin". Hou Jingjun, who arrived at the outskirts of the city, began to build a fortification.

Jurong had more than 20,000 Liang troops, and they were eager to capture each other, so Hou Jing's army had to set up camp in the suburbs of the city and confront the other side.

Next to him, Guo Yuanjian looked at the arrow towers that were about to be completed at his camp, and then looked at Jurong City in the distance. He looked at the city walls that were neither tall nor short, with a solemn expression.

The city looks ordinary and is flat around it. The defenders can only rely on moats and rammed earth walls to defend. They should be able to attack for ten days and half a month.

For example, the previous Jinling City was larger than that of Jurong City, and the city walls were about the same height. They captured them after less than three days.

However, the official camp of Liang's army who was good at siegeing the city is now in the city. Although the chief general Li Li is probably seriously injured, the soldiers have experience in building siege equipment, so they are probably good at defending the city.

Then, Jurong will definitely not be able to conquer it if he is eager. If too much time is wasted here, it will delay the fighter's opportunity.

Guo Yuanjian's eyes crossed Jurong and continued to look west. Although he could not see Jiankang City dozens of miles away, he knew that it would be bad if he dragged it on.

Jiankang originally had many garrison troops. The more they went back, the more soldiers and horses they came. Therefore, since they could not attract the opponent's main force to a field battle, their side could only take the initiative.

Jurong is a small town. In fact, it can be divided into some soldiers and horses to stare at it, and then a large group of people continue to advance westward to attack Jiankang.

However, Xiao Yuanzao, the Marquis of Xichang, had 20,000 troops on his hands, and now most of them were shrinking in Jurong City. In order to keep an eye on these 20,000 people, he had to arrange at least 40,000 people to siege the city.

It may not be able to stop it. The opponent may seize the opportunity at any time and concentrate his troops to rush out. At that time, the besieged army may be defeated even if it is done.

Therefore, this sentence is nailed to the road to Jiankang. For them, it is like a thorn in their throat. It is uncomfortable to pull it out. However, it will take a lot of time to pull it out.

Just stop attacking and go around.

Guo Yuanjian climbed a completed arrow tower, looked at the surrounding terrain, and thought about the situation of the battle.

The army gathered in Jinling was to take advantage of the attack of Xiao Yuanzao's army when it attacked Yanling, and attacked Yanling's defenders internally and externally to defeat Xiao Yuanzao.

Since Xiao Yuanzao is now guarding Jurong, the soldiers gathered in Jinling can go to Jingkou in the northwest and then go west, and attack the Liangjun camp on the edge of Jiangshan.

Then, attack Jiankang from the northeast.

There is still close to Taicheng.

From Jinling, you can go northwest to Jiankang via Jingkou. This route is "North Road" or "Jingkou Road". From the west to Jurong, you can go to Jiankang. This route is "South Road".

There are two roads, a mountain range that runs east and west in the middle, like a high wall.

The distance to the North Road is only about twenty miles more than the South Road.

So when Xiao Yuanzao was playing conspiracy and was unable to leave Jurong, Wang Wei suggested that Hou Jing go to the 'North Road', and then Guo Yuanjian led a side teacher to Jurong and acted as a siege.

Jiankang thought they would attack Jurong, but unexpectedly, the army that came to attack Jurong was just a partial army, and wanted to restrain Xiao Yuanzao's 20,000 troops, and the main force was to attack Jiang Shan.

The offense and defense decide the winner, and it takes only a few days to wait until the opponent comes back to his senses, and the overall situation will be settled.

......

Qu'a, the important place where the two Yundu meet, has now become a huge military camp. Whether in the city or outside the city, there are many soldiers and horses stationed. The mansions of wealthy families in the city have become the temporary residence of the rebel generals of Hou Jing.

As for ordinary soldiers, some of them can live in the military camps in Waigu, and more people live in the temporary camps in Guwai. It is rainy in summer and autumn. The camps are muddy and wet everywhere, and the accommodation conditions are very poor.

In addition, many people urinate and defecate everywhere, and moldy camp tents and unsanitized clothes everywhere, so the camp still smells strange.

For many soldiers, this is nothing because the place where they live was not much better before they even joined the army.

Before the "Monks and Kings" came, they were all poor people in Liang State, with poor families and made a living by helping servants. They lived in the alley where the poor gathered. On rainy days, the ground was muddy near their residence, and the strange smell was emitted everywhere.

When the prince came, many people were voluntarily or forced to join their army, become soldiers, and work hard for the prince. However, the prince was generous and mates the civilian women to the soldiers, which made many "older young people" very excited.

They followed the princes to conquer cities and land, rob money, grain and women, and as long as they survived on the battlefield, their lives would be much better than before.

Even if not everyone can be assigned to women, there will be female tricks in the camp for people to enjoy, "removing the fire", which makes many people enjoy this.

If you use too much utensil, it is easy to get damaged. The same is true for female gurus in the military camp. They change one by one. As for where the replaced women go in the end and what the ending is, no one cares about.

In the military camp in the west of the city, a donkey cart slowly walked in the mud. The coachman continued to drive the donkey cart outward. Although the soldiers guarding the gate recognized this familiar face, they still came forward to check according to the rules.

He lifted the curtain of the car, but saw a woman curled up inside the car.

The woman had a unkempt face and a pale face. She was wrapped in a worn sheet, her eyes were closed and she didn't move.

The soldier recognized the woman's appearance because he had been "paid" several times, so he raised his eyebrows: "Oh, where are you going to throw it away? Why don't you forget it for me."

The companion next to him also recognized the woman because he had also "visited" him, so he smiled: "You still want this sucker? What can you do when you take it back?"

Amid the unpleasant discussion, the soldiers let go, and the coachman drove out of the camp in a donkey cart and continued to walk westward, leaving Quaji.

Less than a mile away from the city, there was a mound next to the official road. The driver asked the donkey cart to gradually slow down. After a while, several people flashed behind the mound.

Seeing that the donkey cart stopped, the few people came up to meet him. One of the young men didn't care about so much and walked directly to the carriage, lifted up the door curtain to board the car.

The other few were waiting by the car, and one of them handed the package on his back to the coachman.

The coachman took the package and opened it and saw that it was covered with copper coins strung with hemp ropes, which were about ten kilograms, which was the weight of the usual money.

The coachman's wrinkled face smiled and looked at the other party: "Alang will pay if he doesn't wait until he has clearly checked it?"

Zheng Yuan said in an authentic Jiankang accent: "No need, if you make a mistake, just go there again."

While we were talking, we heard crying and talking sounds from the carriage.

But Hu Wei saw Mrs. Liu who was thinking about it day and night, hugged Mrs. Liu who was crying in a low voice, and said with red eyes: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you away, go far away, and don't be afraid that someone will bully you again."

Mrs. Liu has been tortured to death. The experience of this past six months has made her life worse than death, but she can only survive.

Now that she saw Hu Wei, her originally desolate eyes finally felt a little excited: the lover is here to save her.

Thinking of the past, sadness comes from the heart, and thousands of words come to your mouth, just crying, crying intermittently.

Hu Wei's heart was as if he was shattered when he saw his wife like this, but fortunately, Yan Langjun kept his promise and sent someone to help him rescue Mrs. Liu.

Seeing Mrs. Liu's haggard appearance, I'm afraid she will be tortured to death if she delays for more than a month.

He hugged Mrs. Liu, and his eyes were filled with flames: "Don't be afraid, I will repay you twice as much as they have caused you to suffer!"
