Chapter 31 Pride and Ambition

Pei Min has been in this world for so many years and has made many difficult choices.

Pei Min dared not say that his choice must be right, but at least until today, he has a clear conscience.

But all the previous decisions were not as difficult as they are today, which made him embarrassed.

Feng Changqing was the first famous general to follow him and helped him a lot.

Yan Gaoqing was the earliest confidant and friend he met when he came to this world, and love was like a brother.

How could Pei Min make this ruthless thoughts when giving up on them?

However, in the current situation, only Li Linfu's sword can be used in a different way, and the success rate is extremely high.

Seeing that Pei Min didn't speak, Li Linfu was also very tactful and didn't say a word.

Let Pei Min struggle in his heart.

After a long time, Pei Min sighed and said, "You go back! I have made a decision on this matter... I'm here!" He asked the guards outside the house to prepare a tent for Li Linfu to rest...

He did not explain which side he chose, and Li Linfu did not ask, and said goodbye.

When he arrived at the camp arranged by Pei Min for himself, Li Linfu did not rush to enter, but bowed slightly and said, "Sun Zhou, where is Mr. Sun's camp? He is my best friend. He came to the camp and happened to meet and talk with him."

Li Linfu is the third person under Pei Min's command and is second only to Zhang Jiuling.

The guards did not dare to neglect and directly informed Sun Zhou of the camp.

Li Linfu wanted the guard to lead the way, but his eyes turned, he smiled and said, "Forget it, Mr. Sun is busy with official business, so he won't be nagging about his private affairs."

He said as he walked into the military tent, which was simple and clean.

The eternal traitor lay down on the bed, looking at the tent on the top, with deep eyes and a little crazy, muttering softly in his mouth, making a small sound of mosquitoes and flies.

"Li Yan, Li Heng, Zhang Kang, don't let someone down... Don't make a big fuss, but I'm sorry for having gambled everything for you!"

************

The long night is long!

The wind was roaring in his ears, snoring. Feng Changqing looked at the dense enemy troops outside the city, stretching for dozens of miles, licking his dry lips, and was wondering what he was thinking.

"Why don't the governor sleep?"

Yan Gaoqing walked to his side and handed a pot of water to Feng Changqing.

Feng Changqing took the kettle, took a few sips carefully, licked the water stains left on the lid of the mouth, tightened the lid, and returned it to Yan Gaoqing: As early as two months ago, Arabia had cut off the water source in Tuozhecheng.

The canals that originally depended on Tuozhe City to survive have long been dry.

Fortunately, Shiguo was rich and had a very good relationship with the Tang Dynasty. In the early years, he hired a large craftsman from the Tang Dynasty to drill six wells in key areas in the city.

Now all the water resources supply in Tuozhe City depends on these six wells.

The water used in Tuozhecheng is too huge, and no one knows how long the six wells can last.

People can not eat for three days, but not for a day.

The importance of water is self-evident, especially in such a hot summer, once the water is cut off, it will not be supported for a day.

The city has already begun to control water resources to avoid extravagance and waste.

Even Feng Changqing sets an example and cherishes every drop of water.

Feng Changqing did not answer first, but waved his hand and let the guards beside him scatter around him. When he made sure that the words were only within the ears of the two of them, he said: "Is there still a chance to sleep in the future? Why not take this opportunity to take a look at the final scenery of the mountains and rivers..."

Yan Gaoqing smiled with his hands behind his back and said, "I will have no regrets in this life if I can die with the governor!"

As the backbone of civil and military officials in Tuozhe City, they gathered together not to discuss how to defeat the enemy, but to die together. If the third person listened, it would cause an uproar.

These words were spoken by the two of them, but they had a unique sense of pride.

The stone country is rich, but the country is not big. Moreover, everyone in the country is doing business, so a very small part of it farms and pastors are even purchased from other countries.

Shi Kingdom is rich, and he is naturally not short of food. But now Tuozhe City is surrounded by enemies, and no matter how much wealth you have, it cannot be exchanged for food. Moreover, the fact that the Shi Kingdom does not produce grain in it also means that there is insufficient grain reserves.

Supporting to this day, Tuozhecheng has experienced a crisis of food cuts.

At this critical moment, what it means to lose food is self-evident!

It was not Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing did not insist, but was unable to persevere.

After being besieged for several months, the two of them did everything they could do.

"How many days can the grain last?" Feng Changqing looked into the distance and asked lightly.

"On the 11th, if we control the food supply, we should be able to hold on for another month. But this is the case, we are afraid that we will not be able to hold on for five days." Yan Gaoqing said softly.

The biggest problem with Tuozhe City is that the supreme ruler in the city is the King of Shi Kingdom, and the residents of the city are the people of Shi Kingdom.

Benevolence, righteousness, morality, family and country, are completely unworkable.

Even a straitor like Su Qin and Zhang Yi cannot do anything to allow the people of other countries to survive and die together with the city.

This country is different, and the national conditions are naturally very different.

If the people in Tuozhe City are allowed to know the crisis of food cuts, panic will inevitably occur, which will be detrimental.

Moreover, they can currently conquer the kings of the various countries in the city, but once they know that the food and grass are about to be in crisis, the situation will be very different.

How could these noble kings die with them?

"It's a tragedy!"

Feng Changqing said with some slightest remarks.

Yan Gaoqing said, "Then let them go with us, so that each other can take care of each other on the road to the underworld. With the ability of Jingyuan, as long as we don't drag him down, he will definitely win the final victory."

Feng Changqing looked at the scholar beside him deeply, and a sense of respect arose in his heart: At this moment, as a warrior, he was not as brave as a literati, nodded and said, "Just listen to Yan Changshi..."

The strategic significance of Tuozhe City is not strong, and whether the city is broken or not has nothing to do with the overall situation.

What really concerns the overall situation are the dozens of Western Region kings in the city. Their existence can affect the situation of the countries in the Western Regions.

As long as they fall into the hands of Arabs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

That's it, it's better to remove them all before the city breaks.

Yan Gaoqing said: "I have already figured out the solution. After the city is broken, I will arrange for them to break through. On the way, I pretended to be Arab soldiers and killed them all. I said that they survived and perished with our Tang Dynasty. If this spread can also arouse the indignation of the countries in the Western Regions towards Arabia. With the same hatred and enemy, they may also become Brother Jingyuan's helper."

Feng Changqing didn't say anything, but just gave his thumbs up in praise. Obviously, this approach is much better than killing them directly.
