Liyun's words made Jiang Pengji's mood slightly better. Coincidentally, she caught a glimpse of the bullet screen in the streaming room.
Host V: "There's free high-quality labor, why wouldn't I use it?"
She straightforwardly admitted her little scheme.
If she didn't abduct Liyun for labor, could it be for his face?
Tumi Dalao: "Streamer, I give you 82 points for your straightforwardness, the rest is 666 points for you."
Renshen Weiku: "I give the streamer's straightforwardness 101 points, one more point won't make her proud."
Yinyuejia Zhuge Qinmo: "I've never seen such a shameless person. I only admire the streamer for being thick-skinned."
Shanzhoutiao: "Compared to the streamer, even Zhou Bapi seems to have become kinder."
Trinitrotoluene: "All of you are talking about the streamer, then I pity the handsome Liyun. I'm a fan of his looks." He's handsome, can fight, and has a strong contrast. There aren't many handsome guys like him in this society anymore. I should be a fan and cherish them. "
Liyun was completely unaware that his looks were sought after by the audience in another world.
He brandished his spear with one hand and flung away the blood stains on the spear. His movements were elegant and clean.
This dashing action mercilessly poked the cuteness of some fangirls.
Jiang Pengji ignored the agitated bullet screen and leaped onto White's back.
After a night's time, the troops had been assembled.
Counting the number of people, there were about 1,500 members of the Tsing Yi Army as captives, and 2,300 people from Fengyi County were escorted out by the troops who risked their lives. Jiang Pengji gave them a choice, whoever was willing could follow her to Xiangyang district.
If they were unwilling, there was no problem. They would be given a day's worth of rations. Their life and death would be up to the heavens.
Everyone had witnessed the brutality and recklessness of the Tsing Yi Army. Now they didn't even dare to return to their hometown, let alone walk outside.
Therefore, except for a few who wanted to seek refuge with their relatives, most of the people chose to follow Jiang Pengji to Xiangyang district.
No matter what, it couldn't be worse than the current situation.
It wasn't far from Xiangyang district. Even if they rushed all the way, it wouldn't take more than 12 hours.
Even though the Tsing Yi Army captives and ordinary people were somewhat of a hindrance, it would take them at most two or three days to cover the journey.
As for the rations for the journey, everyone would save some. It should be able to last until they reached Xiangyang district.
It was fine as long as they didn't starve to death.
Jiang Pengji was calculating in her heart. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the emaciated faces of the troops and her heart softened.
"Let's eat something first. We'll continue our journey after you're full."
The troops received the most rations, while the common people only got half.
Regarding this distribution method, even if the commoners had complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to voice it out.
As long as they didn't starve to death, they would be able to survive until they reached Xiangyang District.
Jiang Pengji gave the troops time to eat. Almost everyone held the dry food and chewed it in big mouthfuls. They ate very fiercely.
Some people's eyes reddened as they ate, their salty tears wetting their rations.
"Uncle, are you crying from hunger?"
The little girl in the red jacket widened her round eyes and used her meaty claws to wipe away the tears on his face.
She thought for a moment, lowered her head, and took out half of the steamed bun that her troops had given her last night. She handed it to him. "For you."
The steamed bun had already gone bad. The soldier raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head.
"This is more delicious. I'm envious of it. That's why I cried … to exchange it with you."
The troop took back the rotten steamed bun and secretly stuffed the dry food in his hand to the child.
"Let's eat together."
Not only him, but almost all the brothers thought they would not live to see the next day. They did not expect that their master would personally bring people to rescue them. Calculating the distance between the two places, it was not difficult for them to imagine how fast Jiang Pengji and the others had traveled all the way.
The more it was like this, the more touched they were. They wished they could die for their master.
"Okay."
The little girl answered crisply. Her face was full of innocence.
"My lord, something bad has happened." Meng Hun caught up with Jiang Pengji in a few quick steps. He said with a serious expression, "I've asked a few brothers. They said that the Tsing Yi Army had divided into two groups. One group chased after them to kill them, and the other group directly headed for Xiangyang District. According to their speed, I'm afraid they have reached Xiangyang District at midnight last night. Should we hurry back to rescue them … "
Jiang Pengji closed her eyelids and said calmly, "No need. Follow the normal speed."
Meng Hun's heart tightened. He did not understand why Jiang Pengji was not the least bit nervous or worried.
My lord's foundation is still weak. Xiangyang District is the only place to stay.
However, Xiangyang District has experienced the earthquake and the Tsing Yi Army's rampage. It is still in the stage of construction.
It is simply a bottomless pit. If Xiangyang District is conquered by the Tsing Yi Army, it is equivalent to handing over all of Jiang Pengji's assets to the Tsing Yi Army. Even Master Qiguan and the rest will die.
Jiang Pengji understood Meng Hun's worries.
She said, "You should have more confidence in Wenzheng. He was born at the border of Dongqing. He is used to such things since he was young. Frankly speaking, the Tsing Yi Army is just a motley crew. Their numbers are like praying mantises, but the power they can exert is even weaker than praying mantises. Without a large number of siege weapons, do they still want to take Xiangyang District from Wenzheng? If they really take it down, Wenzheng does not need the Tsing Yi Army to do anything. He will commit suicide out of shame. "
Meng Hun was stunned. He really did not think of that.
Jiang Pengji suddenly sneered. Her eyes revealed a somewhat malicious glint. "Compared to Xiangyang District, I am actually more worried about the Tsing Yi Army. Wenzheng is an expert in the treacherous way of killing. His essence is to drive people to death. He does not care about whether his methods are light or dark. Let him defend the city. I also do not know how many of the Tsing Yi Army will survive. Xiangyang District is still lacking people. I hope not too many will die. "
Meng Hun listened and was secretly speechless.
Obviously, he and Qiguan Rang have been together for a few years. Why is it that his understanding of Qiguan Rang is less than half of the lord's?
"Do you know why the Tsing Yi Army was defeated so easily?"
Jiang Pengji said scornfully, "A group of ordinary people without armor, how can they resist other people's knives, spears, and sticks? Attacking a city is not like other things. If the attacking party does not have enough siege weapons and wants to climb the enemy's wall, then they have to sacrifice their lives. "
Naturally, Jiang Pengji's previous night attack on Xiangyang District was purely a special case.
"After returning, I really have to pay attention to the development of this area. I wonder which famous Mohists are there in Dongqing."
Jiang Pengji nibbled on her rations and muttered to herself.
If there were, she really wanted to kidnap a few of them back.
People in ancient times thought that it was just a strange and obscene technique. However, Jiang Pengji knew that technology could change the fate of a country.
Let's not talk about the distant ones. Taking the most basic siege weapons, ladders, giant catapults, siege carts, siege towers, well ramparts, ballistae, ballistae … all of these could play a huge role in a siege.
