"Just like when we were kids."

Zhang Xingcai's face felt slightly hot. She rolled her eyes at Adou angrily and did not continue the topic.

"Speaking of Si Niang, she should have given birth by now, right?"

"Counting the days, it's almost over."

Zhang Xingcai smiled broadly, as if he had put down a worry, caressing his slightly swollen belly, and looked at Adou:

"By the time we get to Chang'an, the matter of Si Niang should have been settled."

Adou nodded:

"At that time, with Feng Mingwen's status, no one can say anything."

Zhang Xingcai said leisurely:

"That's right. The tiger girl and Si Niang of the Guan family have children, and Feng Mingwen always has to bring one of them to marry the royal family."

Adou continued to nod: "So I'm just saying, this matter is not urgent. With Siniang over there, what are you worried about?"

"Always think more about your children." Zhang Xingcai stroked her belly subconsciously, with motherly love shining on her face, "I heard that the tiger girl of the Guan family also hides a box of Feng family's secret knowledge!"

"Now it seems that it is probably true. Otherwise, where would the current Guan family tiger come from?"

Not only can he subdue the arrogant soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, but he can also lead them to fight thousands of miles and defeat the enemy like splitting bamboo.

"The knowledge of the Feng family is extraordinary. The tiger girl of the Guan family is so good. How can the children of the Feng family be any worse?"

There is also Siniang. Even though Feng Mingwen is mostly away from Liangzhou, the entire Liangzhou is still running in an orderly manner, and Siniang's contribution is indispensable.

Zhang Xingcai happily planned:

"The Feng family first helped your majesty to rule the world, and then helped our children to govern the world. Isn't it wonderful that the great Han gave him a life with the country, a wise king and a wise minister, and a good story together?"

Oh, it turns out that I was mainly interested in other people’s knowledge.

"I'm still thinking too far ahead. Chang'an hasn't been captured yet."

"It will definitely be taken down."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we can't take it anymore, so withdraw your troops!"

At the foot of Hefei City, Zhuge Dan held Sun Quan's horse's bridle tightly and used all his strength to prevent the furious Sun Quan from riding forward.

Looking around, there are siege ladders set up by Wu soldiers scattered everywhere under the city wall, and many of them are still smoking.

You don't need to look closely to know that most of these siege ladders have been destroyed.

The ramming car at the city gate had long been smashed into a mess by the stone mill suspended from the city.

The Wu soldiers, who failed to attack the city again, retreated like a tide.

Sun Quan stared with blood-red eyes, and the riding crop in his hand almost hit Zhuge Dan:

"How to withdraw?! With so many soldiers killed and injured, how do you want me to withdraw our troops?"

After leading the army to Hefei City, Sun Quan swore an oath in front of the entire army not to break Hefei and not to return the army.

It has been nearly ten days since we attacked the city, and I don't know how many soldiers have fallen below the city. At this time, Zhuge Dan persuaded him to retreat, but why didn't he get furious?

Zhuge Dan pulled the horse's head and begged:

"Your Majesty, I had a detailed report a few days ago, saying that Cao Rui left Luoyang for the eastward expedition. Now there is a report from the expedition. It is suspected that a large number of bandit troops are coming from the north. They have reached Hefei less than a hundred miles away. I am afraid it is not the bandit reinforcements that have arrived!"

"The soldiers have been attacking the city for days and are getting tired. Your Majesty, why don't you withdraw your troops first and return to Chaohu to reorganize your army? If the enemy's reinforcements don't arrive, it won't be too late to attack the city again."

"No! We have casualties, but the thieves in the city have no casualties?" Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said, "I have an army of 100,000, but the thieves in the city are less than 10,000."

"We are ten times stronger than the enemy, but we cannot capture a small Hefei. Instead, we are forced to retreat by the thieves. How can I stand in this world?"

He pointed angrily at the city of Hefei with his riding crop, "My nephew's body is not cold yet, and Hefei has not been destroyed. How can I be worthy of my fourth brother who died young!"

"The Wei thieves are almost unable to defend Guanzhong. Cao Ruian dares to leave Luoyang easily? There are just suspicious soldiers in the north. Send the order and continue to attack the city!"

Seeing that Sun Quan did not listen to his advice, Zhuge Dan had no choice but to say:

"If Your Majesty does not retreat, you should let the soldiers rest for a while. All the siege equipment has been destroyed today. Why not stop here and wait until the siege equipment is built tomorrow to fight again."

Sun Tai's death was not as simple as damaging the morale of the army or irritating Sun Quan.

But the siege equipment that Wu Jun wanted to transport to Hefei by using water were all destroyed, making it difficult for the army to attack the city.

In Sun Quan's plan, he delayed sending troops, except to wait for Shu and Wei to suffer losses so that he could take advantage.

Another thing is to wait for winter to come, so that the Wei thieves' elite cavalry will not be able to exert their maximum combat power.

At the same time, we took this opportunity to build siege equipment and make sufficient preparations for the attack on Hefei.

Who would have expected that the plan would change quickly. An ambush on the way by the Wei army caused the siege equipment that had been built for several months to be completely burned.

This is why sieges these days are all made with improvised and crude siege equipment.

At this time, Sun Quan felt extremely angry when he heard that the siege equipment was gone again.

Even if the ants attack the city, there must be a siege ladder.

Now that there is no siege ladder left, no matter how furious he is, forcing the soldiers to attack the city at all costs, there is nothing he can do.

"Then make it! You must make it for me overnight tonight!"

"promise!"

It was night, when the Wu army was cutting wood all night, a cold wind suddenly came up, and a piece of the fence of the camp fell down, injuring five or six soldiers who were on duty at night.

The winter of the 14th year of Jianxing came earlier than usual.

Sun Quan was awakened by a loud noise outside the commander's tent in the middle of the night. He thought there were thieves attacking the camp, so he hurriedly got up and asked:

"What happened outside?"

The bodyguard entered the tent carrying a lantern, bringing in a gust of cold wind, which made Sun Quan shrink subconsciously.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong, the handsome flag outside was blown down by the wind!"

"What!"

Sun Quan was shocked and tried to walk out.

"Your Majesty, please put on your fur coat!"

The guards quickly stopped Sun Quan and said, "Suddenly there was a strong wind at night, and the soldiers were frozen. Some people have already contracted the wind-chill."

When Sun Quan heard this, his face suddenly darkened.

"Wind chill?"
