Chapter 115
Although Xin Xiran doesn’t know much about Muanshan, he has probably heard of the terrain and form.
"Mu'anshan is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Apart from crossing the Jia'an River from the west, there are cliffs on the south side that ordinary people cannot walk. There is also a city of Wei standing in the north. There is only one road left. From west to north, cross Wei city, and then enter from the official road to the east."
Yao Si thought for a while: "In this way, the time may be more than one month. Correspondingly, the food and grass will be more than one month, and now it is still winter-----"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was not a good time for the siege. Although there were rebels in Mu'anshan, they had just emerged and did not cause much noise. Zhuang Yan's move was to use Qiu Ji to attack Qiu Wanao.
"It would not be easy to cross the river directly. Apart from the official road to the east, Jia'an River is the only gap. How could the rebels on Mu'an Mountain leave it alone? I'm afraid that crossing the river will be the only one that wants."
Xin Xiran nodded in agreement: "No, it's not easy for Jiang, and the three hundred Jingweis are not proficient in water. In my opinion, I still have to go to Weicheng. Although it is a bit around, it is better to be in insurance."
Chu Meng never said anything, Yao Si asked him with his eyes: "Does your brother have any ideas about this? Qiu Ji has helped me a lot. This time I want to help him, but I can't think of any good way."
Chu Meng pondered for a moment before speaking: "Although it is a safe road to go around Weicheng, the east entrance is no longer an official road. After being occupied by the rebels, the guards at the entrance became the top priority.
Instead of trekking to pry open an entrance with heavy troops, I think it is more appropriate to cross the river directly. After all, ordinary people will not want to cross the river. If they are unexpectedly attacking them, their chances of winning will be greater."
Yao Si nodded, "I thought so at first, but the river surface was always restricted. Once it was discovered, mere rosin and hay could wipe out the entire Jingwei army."
Chu Meng shook his head and denied: "There are not many three hundred Jingweis. There are at least five hundred people on Mu'anshan. If you attack hard, you can't get it at all. It's better to win in the dangerous situation."
Yao Si was slightly stunned, but Xin Xiran asked first: "There must be more than 500 people, and I heard from our old man that there are only three or four hundred people."
If there were so many people, wouldn’t Qiu Ji be sure to lose? That kid has never led a army to fight and wants to fight more with less. No matter how you look at it, you will lose a lot."
Yao Si frowned in a line. She did not expect that the difference between the two sides was so big, with nearly twice the number of people. It was difficult to win no matter how you look at it.
Thinking about things in my mind, Yao Si's food was fast enough, and he hurriedly finished the meal and got off the table. Xin Xiranben wanted to talk to her more, but seeing that she really didn't have the leisure time, she returned to Xin's mansion after the meal.
Not long after the meal, Chu Meng knocked on Yao Si's door. After opening the door, he saw that he was carrying a medicine box in his hand. Yao Si remembered that it was time to change the medicine.
"I was sentenced to death yesterday. I have to endure it for the past two days, so as to avoid the injury worsening." Seeing that there was a pen and ink on the table, Chu Mengchai Yao Si wanted to write.
Yao Si nodded, not focusing on his hands, but thinking about Muanshan.
"Okay." Chu Meng wrapped the gauze and packed the medicine bottle. "Go to bed early. I have sent someone a visit to Qiu Mansion. You can sleep with peace of mind."
Yao Si was stunned, "Brother----"
"It's no secret that you live in the Xin family's villa now. Many people are paying attention to this place. If you want to go to Qiu's mansion, it's more appropriate to send a visit to you."
Yao Si nodded, Chu Meng was very considerate. She planned to go to Qiu Mansion tomorrow, and there were two days to go to school. She was worried about Mu'anshan, and she would not be relieved if she didn't discuss it with Qiu Ji.
"Brother----Thank you. If I hadn't been you all the way, I really didn't know where I would be now." Yao Si said sincerely with gratitude.
Chu Meng looked at her with a smile, "Why should you and me be so polite? You can be polite to that outsider, but don't say thank you between me."
Yao Si opened his mouth and finally chuckled: "Okay, I have accumulated virtue in my previous life. I will only meet such a good brother as you in this life. Go to bed quickly." She waved her hand and urged her.
Chu Meng's eyes softly locked Yao Si, and nodded with a smile. The moment the door closed, the smile on his face condensed.
If you are safe, you will be fine.
The letter of worship sent to Qiu Mansion was written about Qiu Jiqi, so Yao Si came outside the door of Qiu Mansion and had not yet spoken to explain the purpose of the visit, the guards had already consciously led her to the living room of the east wing.
This is Yao Si's second time. Even during the day, the place does not seem very bright and cheerful. The servants walk without saying a word, and they only work hard without saying a word. Although they are orderly, they have lost some human touch.
No wonder Qiu Ji has such a temperament. Who can be active in such an environment? Yao Si understood Qiu Ji a little more.
The pastries and tea that came up with 66 Xu Xusheng was just right. For the sake of breakfast, she didn't even eat breakfast, so she was not polite and moved a little bit of everything she ate and drank.
Just as he was having a happy meal, Qiu Ji came. Today, he was wearing a lotus leaf green inlaid with golden peony brocade, and his ink-black long buckle was tied up high by a wooden hairpin. His delicate outline was not as inhuman as usual, with a little shallow expression, and his smile was intriguing.
Perhaps the dress is particularly different today. Although his face is pale, Qiu Ji looks so charming. He looks like a carefully carved cold jade, or like the cold moon hanging in the sky late at night, cold and bright, but no matter which one is, it is something that people appreciate and admire.
Yao Si retracted his jumping thoughts, thought about the purpose of his trip, and said bluntly: "Have Mr. Qiu thought of a way to attack the rebels in Anshan this time?"
Qiu Ji sat down next to Yao Si, added a cup of tea to her, poured a cup of tea with him, took a sip, and then said slowly: "I got the news early this morning that Muanshan has at least five hundred strong men who have strong strength to dominate the body."
Speaking of rash men, although they are not as well-trained as Jingwei, they are the most ruthless in actual combat. No matter what routines and techniques they are, in combat, the most difficult ones who do not play according to common sense are the most difficult.
Yao Si looked calm and smiled without hesitation: "It seems that Mr. Qiu is also confident and has thought of a countermeasure in his heart. Let me guess that Mr. Qiu should cross the river."
Qiu Ji could not deny that he obviously wanted to win in the danger. "The left and right have to fight. If our military strength is enough, we can fight head-on, but the number of people is already at a disadvantage and we can only be surprisingly unbeatable."
Yao Si nodded in agreement, "If you can avoid your sight and cross the river quietly, it would be a good way. It's just three hundred Jingwei, how could there be no movement? If you can divide it into several teams------"
She looked at Qiu Ji, who was also looking at her with a smile, and then he finished speaking. Both of them knew that they had thought of going to the same place.
"The two armies fought for food and grass first, but this time you led the army into the other party's nest. The food and grass were destroyed indefinitely, but there was one thing that was more important to them than food and grass." Yao Si looked at Qiu Ji with a smile.
Qiu Ji thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became clear, "You and I are not a good-looking lamp, you can even think of one place like this."
Yao Si shrugged and didn't care much: "Everyone has his own position. There is no so-called distinction between good people and bad people in this world. I like to talk about things on the matter."
