"The scout came to report that Chen Jitai surrendered to Yongli and led a large army of 15,000 from Sanshui to the South China Sea." Li Chengyin explained to Meng Wenjie in a low voice.

"Oh, so that's it." Meng Wenjie nodded, and then he understood what Yuan Pengnian was thinking about.

"Hmph, with the combat power of the Ming army, let alone 15,000, even if it is twice as much, it is not a match for our army. Playing the trick of roundabout encirclement, wanting to surround our army and then encircle and annihilate it? The one on the top of the city is too naive and takes Chen Jitai too seriously." Li Chengdong sneered and said disdainfully.

"That's it!" Meng Wenjie agreed with Li Chengdong's opinion very much: "Deputy coach, please order it and bid for Chen Jitai. I have been so frustrated these two days, so let me vent my anger."

"Old Meng, no need. You have been fighting hard these two days, so I led our headquarters to continue to siege the city, and the siege did not attack, so that my subordinates could also take a good rest. I went to meet Chen Jitai in person and called the supervisor the stakes." Li Chengdong said to Meng Wenjie, then looked at the city tower and then said, "I want to take a look. Is this big piece of meat, who on the top of the city willing to eat it for me?"

"As for 15,000 people, that old man is not rich, and he will definitely not be willing to give up. If he sends people out of the city to rescue, or Chen Jitai is defeated and returned to the city, our chance will come." Yuan Pengnian said proudly.

Yes, he was very proud of his intelligence: "Sun, Wu is not that true in this world?"

...

The next day after defending the city, due to the emergence of landmines, the Qing soldiers retreated early until dark and never launched any offensive.

The soldiers and civilians on the city were all relieved.

The city's defense and civil affairs were worried about Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu, and Chen Bangyan, and Zhu Youlang dragged his tired body back to the palace.

Dai Yilan finished serving Zhu Youlang for cleansing noodles and served a cup of tea. Zhu Youlang took it over and drank it a few sips, cursing in his heart: "What's the good thing about traveling through time to become an emperor? I have to worry about things, the little thoughts of war, civil affairs, generals and civil officials, and Chen Jitai's uninterestedness. They don't say these, but the key is to take into account inventions and creations as scientists! There is no thousands of miles of inheritance, and there are no three thousand beauties in the harem to enjoy. The emperor's work is really not done by humans."

Then he thought: "The so-called Emperor Yongli is just a name, a banner. His name is the descendant of the Zhu family. His ancestors really did not leave much family background for him. In the past, he had a province of Zhaoqing and Guangxi, and even Guangxi, he might not have been able to keep the whole province smoothly. Therefore, his name is to be successful and he actually starts a business together. How could it be so easy to start a business?"

Thinking of this, I felt a little better: "There will be bread, there will be beauties, and everything will be. Don't be discouraged, don't complain, Fang Zhizhong, roll up your sleeves and work hard!"

After cheering himself up, Zhu Youlang cheered up and began to think about it.

At present, Guangzhou City has been temporarily saved, and Li Chengdong cannot spend more lives in it. If he can fight, it is not like this.

What will he do next?

Withdrawal? It is impossible. If you let Li Chengyin go back, you have cut off his retreat. You will either conquer Guangzhou City or surrender, and you will never dare to withdraw just now. Is Tong Yangjia a vegetarian?

Siege? It is impossible. Guangzhou City is different from other cities. It is surrounded by water on all sides. Even if the land route is cut off, there are still water routes to transport supplies. It is impossible for him to complete the siege of Guangzhou before he has a strong fleet, and in fact he cannot complete it.

Then another way is to lure yourself out of the city.

Attack Chen Jitai and let himself go out of the city to rescue? This is possible. There are less than 5,000 soldiers available in the city. Besides, Chen Jitai is obviously not so obedient to discipline, so he will save him if he is stupid.

Come on, see, if Li Chengdong really uses this move, let’s see if Chen Jitai can be worthy of the word “loyalty and courage”. Do you think Mr. Wang is so easy to be a good person? It’s okay not to show some real skills? Tell!

...

"Your Majesty, Ele.me? Do you want to pass on the meal?"

Dai Yilan saw that it was already dark, but the emperor had not been serving food. After taking a sip of tea, she sat there in a daze. She thought to herself, "Have you forgotten about the meal?" Thinking of this, she quickly reminded her.

"Alan, if you don't remind me, I will really forget to pass the meal!" Zhu Youlang came to his senses and felt that he was indeed a little hungry. He looked at Alan and hurriedly ordered the pass the meal.

Alan responded and went out to deliver the meal. After a while, Zhu Youlang was surprised to find that the one who brought the food box was not the soldiers who came from Zhaoqing, but the two little maids. Behind them was Zhao Yuqiao!

"I kowtow to the emperor!" Zhao Yuqiao entered the door and kowtowed.

"No. Meeting all day, there is no need to be too polite." Zhu Youlang waved his hand, and Dai Yilan stepped forward and pulled Zhao Yuqiao up.

"Are you?" Zhu Youlang asked.

It is really hard to call Zhao Yuqiao, Zhu Youlang, so he can't call him directly or call him her aunt, so he has to not call him.

"Back to the emperor, our wife said that the palace was short of staff, so I asked me to bring two maids into the palace to serve the emperor." Zhao Yuqiao replied openly.

She is Chen Zizhuang's concubine. According to the rules of the times, she is indeed a slave and cannot be promoted. However, Zhu Youlang is very respectful to her because she knows her original historical story. As for Chen Zizhuang's eldest wife, Zhu Youlang has no favor at all.

Is she not being so annoying when she asked her to serve in the palace? Or did she have other thoughts?

Needless to say, there is Chen Zizhuang's meaning. Although the mistress of the family had the right to deal with the concubine, Zhao Yuqiao obviously loved Chen Zizhuang. Without his instructions, the eldest lady would never dare to send her to the palace at will.

Is this a hope of victory in the defense battle in Guangzhou? Is this a way to consolidate pets, or do you want to put a spy in the palace?

"Chen Jisheng, I just think that you are kind-hearted. However, I dare not accept this kind-heartedness. You may think that she is just a beautiful concubine. It is even more important to give it to the emperor by giving it to the emperor. But Zhao Yuqiao is a very respectable woman, and I dare not desecrate it." Zhu Youlang thought things through in his heart and made a decision.

"I don't lack manpower here. Thank you, your master and madam, for your kindness. After serving me, you can go home." Zhu Youlang said.

"Your Majesty, except Alan, they are all men with big hands. How could they serve others?" Zhao Yu and Qiao Yanran smiled, pretending not to hear it, and walked up to help Alan give Zhu Youlang cloth dishes.
