Outside Wujun City, Li Xin set up camps, trained soldiers, and ordered people to make siege equipment, looking like he was preparing for war.

In Wujun city, Xiang Liang was also doing the same thing.

Li Shui was also very busy, busy asking the craftsmen to investigate their origins. This matter is really a bit ashamed to say. Li Shui probably knows not as much as Xiang Liang's knowledge about where he came from.

However, in the troubled times, it was too difficult to find the origin of a beggar. After a few days, the craftsmen found nothing.

Without gains, it is good news. Li Shui hopes that no one knows his life experience, so he can be a banished immortal with peace of mind.

After letting go, Li Shui felt a little homeless. He asked Li Xin: "When will we attack and destroy Xiang Liang in one fell swoop?"

Li Xin said: "Now Xiang Liang is only one lonely city left, so it is only a matter of time before he can be destroyed. My current preparations are all to reduce casualties for our army."

Li Shui looked at Li Xin with a curious look: "Is it just because of this?"

Li Xin nodded and said proudly: "Of course. Otherwise, can a small Wujun city stop my army? I just don't want these soldiers to die in vain."

Li Shui said quietly: "I have a way now to reduce the casualties of our army to basically zero. Do you use it?"

Li Xin looked at Li Shui blankly: "Take it serious?"

Li Shui nodded.

Li Xin thought hard for a long time, and then asked carefully: "Can you refine some kind of elixir that is invulnerable to swords and guns?"

Li Shui rolled her eyes: "Can you have some imagination?"

Li Xin asked sincerely: "Then what are you doing?"

Li Shui said: "Please surrender."

Li Xin laughed: "How is that possible? If persuading surrender is effective, Xiang Liang would have opened the city to surrender long ago."

Li Shui smiled: "It's useless to persuade you to surrender, but it's useful to persuade me to surrender. Otherwise, why would I be known as the God of War?"

When Li Xin heard the word "God of War", he felt very sad. He obviously fought this battle himself, so why did Huai Guzi become the God of War in the end?

Afterwards, he explained in every way, but the evil thing was that the group of young master Gao seemed to have been brainwashed and firmly believed that all this was the credit of Huai Guzi.

Seeing Li Xin's face hesitation, Li Shui said with a smile: "It's better for us to bet together. If my persuasion to surrender Xin works, how about you admit that I am the God of War in public?"

Li Xin's eyes lit up: "If it doesn't work, you have to admit it in public that I am the God of War."

Li Shui nodded and agreed.

Li Xin was very interested and personally helped Li Shui pave paper and grind ink. Li Shui thought for a while, dipped it in thick ink, waved his hand and wrote a few ugly words on the paper.

After reading it, Li Xin laughed and thought to himself: Can this thing persuade him to surrender? If it works really, Su Qin and Zhang Yi might have jumped out of the coffin.

…………

Xiang Liang was preparing for his troops in the city. He not only adapted the Qin soldiers of Wujun, but also forced all the men in Wujun to join the rebels, divided into the army and practiced day and night.

The food in the city is prohibited from being circulated. Whether it is the official granary or private cellar, it will be concentrated and distributed uniformly by Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang sent out two teams of 100 people, searching randomly day and night. Anyone who dared to store food in private will be executed immediately.

At first, the people who kept food privately always made fires to cook late at night, but several times in succession, the gate of the courtyard was kicked open and the people were killed. Those people started to eat raw food. However, the search of the 100-man team was random, and occasionally they were hit by bad luck. Even if they were eating raw food, they would lose their heads.

Later, the Century Team would even rush into the people's homes late at night, lifting the quilts to see if they were hiding in the quilt and eating.

Of course, it is hard to say whether these soldiers are searching for food or taking the opportunity to see the older girls and their wives.

In short, there were complaints in Wujun city and everyone was afraid of them.

After collecting all the food, Xiang Liang also stipulated that anyone who is a soldier at home will be paid in the form of military pay.

In this way, even if someone wants to escape military service, he can only go to join the army with his head on his head when he is hungry at home.

If there is no male at home, it is simple. Women wash clothes for soldiers, make fires and cook, carry soil and stones, and help guard the city walls. They are all considered as joining the army and can get military pay.

As for those older widowed people, they cut off the possibility of getting food. Even if they have gold and silver, they cannot buy food. No one is willing to sell it, and no one dares to sell it.

An old man in his 80s, who was so hungry that he was dizzy and stumbled to Xiang Liang's tent, trying to beg for a full meal, but was beaten out by Xiang Liang.

The reason is very simple. Wujun is an isolated city. One bowl of food is less than one bowl. After eating food, this old man had no benefit except for a few more days of rest. He could not help defend the city or fight. In the case of limited food, of course, he should give priority to the soldiers.

The old man was in tears and stumbled towards the Wujun Guard's home.

As a result, he was too hungry and was beaten again, his body could not hold on and died at the gate of the county magistrate.

When the county magistrate heard the news, he sighed and could only find a few people, rolled them with a broken mat, and buried him.

The county magistrate was named Wu Yu, who was a little cowardly. When he was in office, he had never done anything to impose excessive taxes. For the powerful people in Wu County, it was always better to do less than to do more, for fear of causing a change and leading to the disaster of extermination of the clan.

Later, Xiang Liang raised his army and threatened him a little, and then he surrendered. Now Xiang Liang has the final say in the entire Wujun city. He, the former county magistrate, hugged in his mansion all day long, living a life of fear like a king of a devastated country.

However, the old man's death today was quite touching Wu Yu. He felt depressed and simply sat at home and drank.

Halfway through the drink, a boy suddenly broke in outside. Without saying a word, he overturned Wu Yu's table. For a moment, the wine and food were dripping all over the floor.

Wu Yu was startled and shouted in annoyance: "What are you doing?"

This young man is Wu Yu's eldest son, named Wu Gang.

Wu Gang stared at the boss with his eyes wide open and said to Wu Yu: "As the governor of Wu County, does my father let Xiang Liang harm the people here?"

After hearing this, Wu Yu's face changed drastically. He hurriedly shrewd and said nervously: "Shut down, silence. There are ears in the wall."

Wu Gang gritted his teeth and said, "As long as his father gave his order, the child would be willing to cut off Xiang Liang's head, open the city and surrender, and return the peaceful world of Wu County."

Wu Yu smiled bitterly: "Kaicheng surrenders? The day when Kaicheng is the day when my whole family and my family will die together. Your Majesty is strong and will not tolerate ministers who are against the king and the thief."

Wu Gang said: "Xiang Liang has only one lonely city. How can he compete with the court? My father will die sooner or later when he is involved in the thief."

Wu Yu picked up the wine glass on the ground, poured another glass for himself, and said slowly: "It is death for a thief to bend down and surrender to the city. At least it is death for a thief to bend down and drink a few more sips of wine."

Wu Gang stomped his feet and turned around to leave. Wu Yu said behind him: "Think twice about everything, don't be reckless. Don't go out soon, so as not to cause trouble."

Wu Gang sneered and said, "There are many guards around Xiang Liang. Even if I want to kill him, it will be difficult for a while. Don't worry, my father."

Wu Yu thought about it and said this was not bad. To be honest, he had been operating in Wujun City for several years and did have some confidants. However, these confidants were a mess of loose sand. They dared not to let them gather together and resist Xiang Liang.

These confidants would not do this, but Wu Gang alone would not do it. Although his son had a hot temper, he was not stupid and would not do anything that was destined to fail.

Wu Yu took a sip of wine and sighed slightly: "At least Xiang Liang did not treat me badly on the food. Now the whole city is hungry, but I have wine to drink..."

Half an hour later, the quarrel between Wu Yu and Wu Gang reached Xiang Liang's ears.

He didn't know what the father and son were quarreling, but he guessed that Wu Gang had always been very hostile to Xiang Liang, and these Xiang Liang could feel them.

However, now that the enemy is in front of you, Xiang Liang doesn't want to mess with the backyard, so he doesn't attack Wu Gang. After all, the Wu family and his son are still quite influential in the city of Wujun.

At the third update that night, Wu Gang arrived on the city wall. He came to secretly find Wu's confidant.

These confidants once served in the Qin army and were in charge of the Qin soldiers in Wu County. Now Xiang Liang has dispersed the Qin soldiers and placed them everywhere. These confidants have naturally been incorporated into Xiang Liang's army.

Wu Gang found a confidant on the city wall, who was responsible for guarding the east gate.

Wu Gang expressed his intention to assassinate Xiang Liang to the confidant, but the confidant shook his head vigorously, saying that he did not dare to do it.

Wu Gang told him with great pain, but his confidants always said that he had no courage.

Finally, Wu Gang stomped his feet in anger: "How different are the timid mouse people from the county magistrate?"

The confidant laughed dryly: "How can you insult Lingzun..."

Wu Gang ignored him and quickly walked to the street and found another confidant who was patrolling.

After Wu Gang finished speaking, his confidant shook his head repeatedly, saying that he did not dare.

Wu Gang couldn't help but curse again: "How different is the timid mouse generation from the county magistrate?"

As a result, the confidant's eyes lit up: "The county magistrate thinks so too? Then I'll feel at ease."

Wu Gang left angrily. As a result, not long after he left, the confidant caught up with him.

Wu Gang was overjoyed and asked, "Did you agree to kill Xiang Liang?"

He said anxiously in close contact: "Just now, there was a secret letter, and he came to the city."

Wu Gang was stunned for a moment: "Is it Li Xin's letter of persuading surrender outside the city?"

The confidant said, "I don't know. There is only one sentence in the letter, saying that after the matter is completed, the benefits will be equal."

Wu Gang was stunned for a moment: "It's gone?"

The confidant said, "It's gone."

Wu Gang frowned: "Divid the profit equally? Obviously the other party has already contacted him. Could this be a letter of persuasion to Xiang Liang?"

The confidant said next to him: "It is said that there has always been a rumor in Xianyang City that Huaiguzi was once Xiang Liang's man, and it was a fine work he sent to Xianyang City. Now that Xiang Liang Mountain is over, if Huaiguzi suddenly rebels and divides Li Xin's three thousand elite soldiers equally with Xiang Liang, then all Chu will be owned by Xiang Liang."

Wu Gangshen nodded with consent, and then looked at his confidant in confusion: "You just said clearly that you dare not rebel. Now that Xiang Liang is going to win, why are you looking in pain instead?"

The confidant said, "If Xiang Liang stood firm, we, the officials of the Qin Dynasty, would definitely be killed by him. Now he is willing to save our lives, but he just wants us to help defend the city. Therefore, Xiang Liang cannot be allowed to win."

"For the current plan, only the county magistrate raised his arms and shouted, killed Xiang Liang, and opened the door to surrender to Li Xin. The officials and civilians in the county were coerced by Xiang Liang. After all, they were not the mastermind, and there might be a glimmer of hope."

Wu Gang smiled: "You think clearly. Since that's the case, why don't you follow me to kill Xiang Liang?"

The confidant thought for a long time and finally whispered: "I am... I have no courage."

Wu Gang was too lazy to talk to his confidants.
