The letter Zhu Houzhao completed with Zhang Yuan’s help. Because he had nowhere to send it, he could only send it to Xie Qian through Jin Gui, and then to Chen Xi. This was the only idea that Zhu Houzhao could think of.

But now Tumu Fort has long cut off all contact with the outside world. No one can leave the Great Wall. Even Xie Qian does not have the ability to do this, so things can only be put on hold. Even Jin Gui would not do such a fool to trouble Xie Qian. He was afraid that he would be known to be used as a bridge to communicate with the prince to the inner court and the foreign ministers.

As a lecturer in the Eastern Palace, Jin Gui did not have the ability to call for wind and rain in the court. In terms of talent and practical work, there was a big gap between him and Chen Xi.

The news about Tumu Fort was completely cut off, and the court could not find out the situation of Chen Xi's troops. At this time, Tumu Fort could only make corresponding judgments on the situation of the Tatar camp through scouts. Chen Xi could not determine whether the Tatar soldiers outside the city were withdrawn.

However, A Wulu entered Tumu Fort at this critical moment, which seemed very incredible to Shen Xi. This woman's courage was more outstanding than he imagined.

Chen Xi knew that the main purpose of Awulu's entry into the city was to spy on the truth and reality of the city. After entering Tumu Fort, Chen Xi made a welcome gesture, but did not give Awulu the respect that a diplomatic envoy should have. As soon as he entered the city gate, he avoided the Tatars' eyes and ears, he ordered his subordinates to detain Awulu.

"...Chen Xi, is this the demeanor of your minister of the Celestial Kingdom? When two countries fight and do not kill the envoys, you are actually betrayal and detained the dignified diplomatic envoy. Are you not afraid of angering my Dayuan people, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers launch an attack on the city, leaving you without a place to die?"

A Wulu couldn't believe his eyes. After Chen Xi actually welcomed her into the city, he immediately sent someone to send her and his entourage to a closed courtyard to a closed courtyard where he could only be in the room for two meals a day and going to the cottage, as if he treated her as a prisoner.

In this case, she cursed in the house every day, and even if she couldn't see the people from Chen Xi, she cursed happily. In the eyes of the guards, this female Tartar was simply crazy.

No wonder everyone thinks so. How idiot this woman has to be so idiotic that she will run to the opponent's city to die? Now she still dares to scold the Ming army commander in a city controlled by the Ming army. Is she tired of living?

But there is another person who is even more crazier than A Wulu, that is Chen Xi.

Chen Xi actually sent someone next door to the yard to secretly record A Wulu's every day of cursing, and then sorted it out.

Every morning and evening, Chen Xi would watch it. When he was watching, he picked up a red pen to draw the painting, as if he wanted to find out the clues to determine the distribution of the troops outside the city and the next military plan of the Tatars.

That day, Zhang Yong happened to come to Chen Xi to discuss the matter. Seeing Chen Xi talking in a divine manner, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Shen, if you really want to know the situation outside the city through this woman, why don't you torture her severely? Even if she is hard, she will reveal it!"

"It's really easy."

Chen Xi shook his head, "Don't Eunuch Zhang know that the true identity of this woman is Dayan Khan's concubine? Speaking of which...just like my imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty, do you think such a person is guilty?"

Zhang Yong originally wanted to say that the concubines of the barbarians were just the concubines, so what could he not afford to be guilty? There are fewer people you offended? But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but feel guilty:

"I heard from the boy named Chen that he wanted to surrender to the Tatars, or he wanted to keep a backup plan. If he really wanted to reach the moment the city was broken, he would use this woman to support the Tatars, right?"

Zhang Yong's thoughts are much more complicated than Chen Xi, and his desire to survive is extremely strong. Moreover, as a eunuch, he has no bottom line or principle. He can accept it whether he escapes, defeats or surrenders to the enemy. He feels that his life is more important than anything else, and Chen Xi has to worry about it. It cannot be said that he acts recklessly according to his own ideas.

Zhang Yong asked tentatively: "Mr. Shen, should we ask... to talk to that woman?"

"What are you talking about?"

Chen Xi looked up at Zhang Yong in surprise and frowned slightly, "Eunuch Zhang had asked him to think about the matter of laboring the army to boost morale, but now he has some clues?"

Zhang Yong protested dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Shen has a huge problem. Now that the city has surplus of money and food, what's the use of giving it to the soldiers? Now that life is almost gone, who cares about these things? On the contrary... there are some women in the city, who have been ruined by the Tatars anyway, so now they just let the soldiers do whatever they want... It should be no problem, right?"

Chen Xi waved his hand and raised his face: "No!"

Zhang Yong sneered: "I know that Lord Shen doesn't allow it. Then Lord Shen himself said, what else can I do besides this? If Lord Shen is concerned that those women are from my Ming Dynasty, you might as well give those Tatar women. Even if they are not enough, the soldiers will enjoy their appetites, or in terms of military merits..."

Chen Xi stared at Zhang Yong with a smile: "The woman Zhang's words are not meant to be the one who was imprisoned in the yard next to the armory in the east of the city, right?"

"Not she has anyone else..."

When Zhang Yong said this, he realized that the idea he proposed was a bad idea.

A Wulu brought maids to the city, but those maids were not beautiful at all. Even the female Tatar general Huo Ling, who was captured before, was also a vulgar woman who was more manly than her daughter's house. From a glance, it seemed that only A Wulu was so beautiful, but if only A Wulu had so many men in the army came...

Zhang Yong thought about it and felt terrifying.

And if the Tatars outside the city knew about this, the Tatars would definitely attack the city by their lives, which completely cut off his way to surrender to the Tatars.

Chen Xi lowered his head again and said, "Eunuch Zhang must not make such jokes again. It's better to go back and think about what to reward the soldiers. As a military supervisor, Eunuch Zhang has no choice but to do this!"

Zhang Yong shouted, "Mr. Shen, are you making things difficult for our family? This closed Tumu Fort has no reward for even women. What else can I give to you... Is the money worth it? Those soldiers are not stupid!"

Chen Xi was too lazy to argue with Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong is now giving up. As a eunuch, he has no worries. At worst, he can surrender and he doesn't have so much time to spend with Zhang Yong.

Chen Xi stood up and left the command post gate, and went to patrol the city in the cold weather. On the one hand, he checked the defense and preparations, and on the other hand, he was to comfort the soldiers.

When Chen Xi left the city, he would bring a bunch of personal guards around him, who could be used as bodyguards and a messenger if he found a problem. But now, he has not paid much attention to it anymore. He even patrolled the trenches outside the city, and only brought one or two people. If he encountered any urgent matters, he would send people away, leaving only one person alone.

When Chen Xi was inspecting, he never acted like a second-rank official. At first, those big-headed soldiers only knew that their commander was a seventeen-year-old boy, but as Chen Xi walked frequently everywhere, he had never known him for a long time.
