Qiguan Rang sighed and secretly tugged at Feng Jin's sleeves, giving him a look.
His lord would never listen to such a matter of principle.
As long as she did not make a decision out of anger, as a strategist, they should support her.
In fact, if she chose to give up the 2,000 troops for the sake of the "big picture," Qiguan Rang and the rest would be bitterly disappointed.
"Prepare for war!" Jiang Pengji's face was cold. "No matter how many people they killed, we will kill them ten times or a hundred times more!"
Xu Ke sighed in his heart. He suddenly felt that days like today would repeat many times in the future.
"My lord has made up her mind. I will obey."
Meng Hun took the initiative to volunteer. He looked sincere. "My lord, you must bring me with you in this battle."
The troops were not only Jiang Pengji's private troops, but also the troops that Meng Hun had poured countless efforts into.
He must kill the enemy with his own hands and wash away this humiliation with the enemy's blood.
Jiang Pengji clasped her fingers together and sat upright on the seat of honor.
Her thin lips moved slightly. "Coach Meng, bring the troops with me to save people. The defense of the district city will all be under Wenzheng's command."
Luo Yue could not help but volunteer. "District magistrate Liu, please …"
Jiang Pengji interrupted him and said, "It's true that I want to save people, but I can't disregard the lives of the people in Xiangyang district and directly transfer all the troops. The Tsing Yi Army obviously came prepared with a strong desire for revenge. Whether it's the 2,000 troops or you, I don't want to lose them. "
Finishing her words, she stood up and walked to the backyard in an unquestionable manner.
Feng Jin and Xu Ke both turned to look at Qiguan Rang with interest.
Qiguan Rang could not compare to them in terms of time and friendship with Jiang Pengji, but she was more partial to Qiguan Rang when it came to official matters, especially when it came to war. This time, she even handed over the deployment of the district city to him. This kind of trust was really rare. They were surprised. Qiguan Rang was even more unprepared.
"Go and prepare. My lord does not like to procrastinate."
As a housekeeper, Xu Ke had a lot of trivial matters to take care of, including the preparation of resources before the war.
Feng Jin smiled and said, "If that's the case, I will take my leave and check the defense equipment."
Qiguan Rang secretly laughed bitterly. He left with Meng Hun, his brows tightly knitted.
Meng Hun followed him halfway and said hesitantly, "Mr. Wen Zheng, the princess's move … is a bit …"
In all fairness, among the three of them, Qiguan Rang's status was probably the lowest.
However, Jiang Pengji did not hide her bias. Anyone who was not blind could see it.
Meng Hun was worried that there would be internal strife, which would cause estrangement in the hearts of these people.
A quarrel between scholars was definitely more terrifying than a general.
When Qiguan Rang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, Coach Meng. The Lord and the others know it very well."
"Eh?" Meng Hun was an honest man and couldn't wrap his head around it. "My lord did this on purpose?"
"Look, Xiaoyu is proficient in internal affairs. No matter how messy the mess is, he can clean it up in his hands. Huaiyu is proficient in foreign affairs. It's just that the lord's foundation is still shallow, so he hasn't shown his ability yet. " As Qiguan Rang said this, he added somewhat helplessly, "Rang is an expert in the Path of Treachery and is naturally suitable for the battlefield. My lord sees through everyone's strengths and weaknesses, so Huaiyu and the others won't be unhappy. "
In terms of war strategy, they all knew it, but they all had their strengths and weaknesses.
In the current situation, it was obviously safer for Qiguan Rang to defend the city.
If it was a stupid and narrow-minded person, he might have a grudge. However, Xu Ke and Feng Jin were different, so Qiguan Rang wasn't worried.
"I see, I've thought too much," Meng Hun said embarrassedly.
Qiguan Rang sighed in his heart. That was what he said, but he really didn't want to stand out.
However, the situation was not in his control. If he didn't stand out, he would only lose his life. He must defend the Xiangyang district!
Fortunately, the defense equipment of the Xiangyang district was still there. He had recruited many soldiers these few days, so he still had some confidence.
Qiguan Rang wasn't like the unruly Tsing Yi army. If Jiang Pengji broke through the city defense set up by him, it wouldn't be that easy.
In less than two hours, Xu Ke completed the pre-war preparations. The troop of a thousand people was ready to go. Everyone brought six days' worth of dry rations.
Jiang Pengji didn't say any nonsense. She simply said, "Kill the Tsing Yi army! We'll bring all our brothers back! "
The summer wind blew over hot and dry. Her voice was clearly heard by everyone's ears.
Everyone felt as if a heavy boulder was pressing down on their hearts, and under the boulder was a roaring beast that was about to break out of its seal.
"Kill the Tsing Yi army! Bring our brothers back! "Meng Hun shouted in a suppressed voice.
"Kill the Tsing Yi army! Bring our brothers back! "
"Kill the Tsing Yi army! Bring our brothers back! "
"Kill the Tsing Yi army! Bring our brothers back! "
The uniform roar resounded in the sky above their heads. It was deafening. The anger was about to burst out.
"Let's go!"
Running with a heavy load was a regular training course for the troops. Ordinary people would be panting after running three to five miles. For the troops, they would at most be sweating. Moreover, they only brought improved crossbows, a bag of arrows, a water bag, and dry rations for the next few days.
This bit of weight couldn't be compared to their usual training. Naturally, it was easier.
Standing at the city gate, Qiguan Rang sighed as he watched Jiang Pengji leave with her men. He ordered his men to strengthen the defense.
Originally, he thought that the next six months would be more stable. He was willing to work overtime brainlessly.
Who knew that the Tsing Yi army would be so blind to provoke Jiang Pengji?
According to her vengeful personality, she would definitely wipe out the Tsing Yi army in Fengyi County.
"I guess I'll have a tiring life," he muttered in a low voice.
There was a hidden worry in his eyes as he looked into the distance.
You must come back safely!
After traveling for four hours, Jiang Pengji asked her men to stop and rest for 15 minutes. She spread out the Great Universal Geographical Map of Fengyi County.
Meng Hun panted heavily and asked, "My lord, which direction should we go next?"
The weather was too hot. Even if they didn't carry much weight, they were exhausted after a long journey.
However, what made him even more depressed was that the troops who desperately came to ask for help didn't have time to inform the main troops of their location. Or rather, they didn't know where it was.
The terrain of Fengyi County was more complicated. The troops were just outsiders. It was good enough that they could hold on to reach Xiangyang District to report. How could they expect anything else?
Therefore, they could only think of a way to determine where the troops were trapped. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of rescue.
If they made a wrong judgment and took the wrong detour, it would be too late.
Buwei Heshibi: "I hope we can make it in time. Otherwise, that young man's sacrifice would have been in vain."
