Although he wanted to attack at night to teach Jiang Pengji a lesson, the leader of the Red Lotus Group also knew that this plan was not feasible.
First of all, it was New Year's Eve tonight, but a strong enemy was eyeing them covetously outside the city. No one was in the mood to celebrate.
Secondly, the people in the city had been tricked by the Red Lotus Group into saving and plundering their wealth. Now they were penniless. Although they were not as miserable as having no food to eat, the quality of the food was not good. They could not even taste meat on New Year's Eve, which made the festive season even worse.
No mood, no vigor, no motivation … Sneak attack the enemy's camp?
Haha.
Quoting the words of the viewers in the streaming room, even Liang Jingru did not dare to give them the courage.
Finally, Jiang Pengji's camp was very unique. It was obvious that she was experienced and could not find a suitable gap for a sneak attack. The soldiers on night patrol did not dare to slack off. Even though it was a lively New Year's Eve, they still had no intention of slacking off. The feasibility of a night attack was not high.
This would not work, that would not work. The leader of the Red Lotus Group was so angry that he swept the delicacies and wine on the table to the ground.
Jiang Pengji dared to delay the attack for a day, so she was naturally not afraid of their night attack.
If they dared to come over, she would "kindly accept."
Alcohol was prohibited in the military camp. Even on New Year's Eve, they were not allowed to touch the smell of alcohol.
As the commander-in-chief, Jiang Pengji naturally had to set an example. Drinking plain water was enough.
As for rice wine, it was better to fill in the blanks in her head.
Jiang Pengji sat in the tent. There were a few plates of side dishes on the table. From the appearance to the taste, it was exactly the same as what the soldiers ate.
From the beginning of the New Year's Eve dinner, the viewers in the streaming room uniformly sent Jiang Pengji New Year's blessings.
Since the start of the streaming room, many viewers had developed feelings for her by following the stream.
Now that they had accompanied Jiang Pengji for another year, many fans in the streaming room even spontaneously organized a New Year's Eve concert.
Although she couldn't hear them, she could feel their passion through the dense bullet screen.
Looking at the lively streaming room, then looking at the cold commander's tent, she could not help but sigh.
"This New Year is really miserable … Thinking back to last year, we should be eating barbecue and hotpot around the long table by now …" Jiang Pengji ate until she was half full. The taste of the big pot was just so-so. For someone who was used to eating delicacies, it was definitely difficult to swallow, but she was not picky. She ate it all with a normal expression, and there was not a single grain of rice left in the ceramic. "… I really do not want war during New Year …"
Yang Si deeply agreed.
As a picky foodie, cutting off his delicacies was the same as cutting off one's addiction.
When the addiction kicks in, how uncomfortable would it be without Hanshi powder?
Just ask Feng Zhen, who was weeping after giving up.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Yang Si and Dian Yan sat on either side of the table.
Jiang Nongqin was left in Honglian County to hold the fort, so she was not in the tent.
Yang Si said with a smile, "Only when there is a comparison can one know who is better. My lord, why don't you think about the thieves in Fenghu County? Maybe your mood will be much better."
Jiang Pengji rested her chin on her hand. "By the way, will they attack the camp in the middle of the night?"
"The possibility is very small." Yang Si said firmly, "Even so, for the sake of prudence, we still have to strengthen the patrolling and defense of the camp."
Setting up a camp was a skill. If the camp was set up well, it would be difficult for the enemy to launch a sneak attack.
Jiang Pengji did not do much research in this area. Fortunately, there was Yang Si. He could make up for the shortcomings in this aspect.
In addition, the patrols were strict. Even if the Red Lotus Group really launched a sneak attack in the middle of the night, they would be able to react quickly.
All the soldiers in the camp ate to their heart's content. Delicacies could soothe negative emotions and more or less dispel the depressing atmosphere of the New Year's war.
Thinking about conquering the enemy tomorrow, besides some melancholy and longing, they were more excited.
Tomorrow was the first day of the New Year. If they could conquer Fenghu County, it would be a good start for the whole year!
The New Year's Eve dinner lasted until the moon was high in the sky. The soldiers who were not on patrol duty went to bed early to recuperate and fight the next day. The soldiers who were on duty gathered together to frolic, fight, and fight to kill time. Because they did not make much noise, they did not disturb the sleeping others.
Jiang Pengji always wore her armor in the military camp. She came out and took a look at the camp. The soldiers she met saluted her.
After inquiring about the situation everywhere, Jiang Pengji walked to the front of the camp and looked at the shadow on the ground in the distance. It was like a giant beast.
She knew that it was Fenghu County.
After conquering Fenghu County and then Qiuyu County, Wanzhou would completely become her territory.
She had just taken the first step on the road to hegemony.
She meditated and calmed the complicated emotions in her heart.
While she meditated and cultivated, she sorted out the clues in her mind and reorganized the plan to unify the world.
Not long after, she heard footsteps behind her. She knew who it was at first glance.
"Jing Rong."
She spoke in a declarative tone.
Yang Si said, "I saw my lord leave the commander's tent just now and come here alone. Do you miss your family?"
Jiang Pengji let out an "ah" and was puzzled.
"Why would I miss my family?"
Yang Si choked.
He thought that Jiang Pengji was young and that she was alone in a faraway place during the New Year's Eve. Looking at the lively scene around her, it might arouse the young man's longing for his family. He came over to be quite a considerate brother, but … why didn't he follow the script?
Understanding what Yang Si meant, Jiang Pengji did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm an adult, not a three-year-old child …"
It was Yang Si's turn to be dumbfounded.
"Then my lord is now …"
Her eyes were firm. "I'm meditating and sorting out the plan. After we take down Chengde County, we'll take a short break and go to rescue the king. Rescue the king … I don't know how many heroes we'll meet then … Whether they're enemies or allies, we'll be invincible if we know ourselves and our enemies. "
Yang Si responded with an "oh" and was slightly embarrassed.
Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave so as not to disturb Jiang Pengji's thoughts, his lord raised a very strange question.
"Jing Rong, I had a strange dream last night. I dreamed that a hen crowed and heralded the dawn."
Yang Si frowned. "A hen heralding the dawn? Isn't this a woman usurping the dawn? It's a sign of disaster. However, the dream is strange and doesn't count. "
He was a little worried. Did the lord think that the dream was ominous and that there would be changes in the battle tomorrow?
Don't be superstitious!
"A woman usurping the dawn. People often use this as a metaphor for a woman usurping power and creating chaos in the world. It's a bad omen …" Jiang Pengji said and lowered her eyes. "What do you think of this?"
Yang Si was surprised. How did the topic turn to this?
He was also a rebellious person. His thoughts were very different from the literati of the time. He said, "In my opinion, a woman usurping the dawn and a woman in power are still different. The crow of a hen is against the natural order and common sense, but it's not the case for a woman in power. Looking at the 16 countries and the previous dynasty, it's not like there haven't been women in power and being officials for hundreds of years. If a woman usurps the dawn, it's an insult to the ancestors. "
There was a period of time in the previous dynasty when women were officials and were in power.
However, as times changed, the atmosphere became more and more rigorous and harsh. The narrow term "a woman usurping the dawn" was recognized by more and more people.
More people felt that it was ridiculous for a woman to be in power. It was like a woman usurping the dawn.
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "What if a woman becomes the emperor in the world? Do you think it's normal? "
Yang Si had a strange expression on his face. His lord was not only ambitious, but her confidence was also rare in the world.
He smiled and asked quietly, "Listening to what you mean, my lord, do you want to pass the throne to your daughter after you become the emperor?"
"It's not necessarily impossible."
