The most difficult part of the siege battle is to climb the tower. The city that Murong Shuangshuang attacked was controlled by the famous general Wei Yan of the imperial court. Wei Yan is already seventy-two years old this year. He is a veritable veteran. He has been loyal to the imperial court all his life and is best at what he does.

Even if you defend the city.

It's a pity that the current emperor is afraid that Wei Yan has too much influence in the army and is afraid that Wei Yan will rebel, so a generation of famous generals are sent to guard a small city. He is so stupid that even the Immortal Kingdom will not be sorry for his new tricks.

Murong Shuangshuang had no intention of confronting Wei Yan. It wasn't that she couldn't capture the small town that Wei Yan was guarding. She just had to face off against such a general who was famous for his defense. Even if she could win, she would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Murong Shuangshuang was reluctant to sacrifice her life to fill the gap.

.

Moreover, Murong Shuangshuang also had another idea. Wei Yan was a model of staying strong and healthy. Although he was still seventy-two years old, he was still strong and strong. He could eat several bowls of rice every day and could kill enemies on horseback.

If such a powerful person could be subdued and help defend the city in the future, the troops going out would definitely have no worries, so Murong Shuangshuang had the idea of ​​​​inciting rebellion against Wei Yan from the beginning.

The emperor was stupid and cruel, which led to corrupt officials and sycophants in the court, and good loyal ministers were demoted to death. Even if a veteran general like Wei Yan was loyal, he would never look down on such an incompetent and cruel emperor. However, his loyalty to the emperor prevented him from abandoning the emperor.

Murong Shuangshuang did not immediately think of ways to persuade Wei Yan. Instead, he found a few people with loud voices, took loudspeakers, and climbed up to the temporary wooden tower to shout to the city.

"Common people in the city, I know that you are living a very difficult life under the oppression of the foolish king. The farmers work hard every year to farm. In the end, the fathers, mothers, wives and children are still hungry and howling. Every year in winter.

Everyone will starve to death.

Those who don't farm are even worse. The head tax is doubled, five times, ten times, and twenty times. The head tax keeps getting higher and higher. In the already difficult days, they also have to face compulsory military service and corvee labor, without respite.

By chance, he was accidentally dragged away by the government like an animal to be sold in the human market. From then on, he and his family were separated, and he didn't know if they would ever get together again in this life.

We all understand such days, because we have all lived such days, but it is different now. We, the Marquis, love the people like sons. The people in the territory do not impose excessive taxes, compulsory military service and corvee. If there are natural disasters or man-made disasters,

The Marquis will also send people to provide disaster relief and distribute grains so that the people can live a good life.

We, the Marquis, care about the world and cannot bear the suffering of the people in the world, so we reluctantly raise our troops, hoping to give the people of the world a peaceful life. Our General Murong runs the army strictly and never allows the soldiers to take any property from the people..."

The Marquis is Wang Wei. He is the head of the Wang family and naturally cannot be white. His title is the highest in the family. However, people close to Wang Wei like to call him lord or head of the family, and call Wang Jingqi the young master.

The people Murong Shuangshuang found had loud voices, and their voices were very penetrating. With Murong Shuangshuang's small trumpet, if they shouted loudly, people in half the city could hear them. It didn't matter if they couldn't hear them. Murong Shuangshuang

Several Kongming lanterns were placed above the city.

There were a lot of papers tied under the Kongming lantern. When the Kongming lantern entered the city, Murong Shuangshuang shot an arrow to cut the rope holding the letter paper. In an instant, countless letters filled with words of encouragement flew up and fell all over the city like flying snow.

Although Wei Yan immediately sent people to collect these letters, a piece of paper could be fluttering and landed anywhere. It is impossible to collect them completely. There are always people hiding them secretly. Those who can read can secretly read them, and those who cannot read can secretly read them.

Find a reliable literate person to help you read it.

This move to attack the heart is indeed effective. Wei Yan is a loyal minister, and the characteristic of a loyal minister is that he will not disobey the emperor's orders, so the people in Wei Yan's city are living a very miserable life.

The suffering was so severe that the people were hoping that someone could save them. The words on the letter Murong Shuangshuang sent were too tempting, and the people who had suffered too much were easily tempted.

It's not that the people are gullible, but that they really hope to crawl out of this hell-like painful life, so even if there is the slightest hope, they will believe it, they all want to believe it, but they don't dare to do anything for a while.

, but there were some small thoughts in their minds that made Murong Shuangshuang look forward to it.

The people's hearts were almost agitated, so Murong Shuangshuang secretly sneaked into the city at night and went straight to the general's mansion guarding the city.

In order to defend the city and prevent Murong Shuangshuang's men from breaking through the city, Wei Yan hardly slept in the past few days and stayed in front of the defense map, carefully deducing various possible accidents and making up for possible deficiencies in defense.

He had heard of Murong Shuangshuang's reputation. A talented female general who emerged from nowhere. She defeated the famous Luo Yunchuan in the first battle and captured three cities in a row. If the opponent's men were not short, he might have been defeated.

No matter how many cities were taken away, Wei Yan did not dare to underestimate the female general Murong Shuangshuang.

Just when Wei Yan lowered his head to look at the deployment map, he suddenly found the shadow of a person on the deployment map. Wei Yan was shocked. When he looked at the deployment map, no one was allowed in the room. General

Everyone in the house knew that no one would disturb him without permission, but now there was suddenly an extra person in the room, and it was definitely not one of his men.

Wei Yan was frightened, but his reaction was dissatisfied. He lifted the table very neatly, thinking of smashing it at the figure opposite. At the same time, he turned around and went to pull out the long knife on the shelf.

Just as the blade was two fingers away from the scabbard, Wei Yan's body froze, because there was a sharp sword on his neck, and the cold blade was close to the skin of his neck, cold and full of chills.

.

Wei Yan took a breath, "Why did that friend come to my general's house?" A chuckle came from behind him, and the woman's clear voice sounded, "General Wei is indeed a famous general of his generation, and his courage is extraordinary."

Following the sound, the sword on Wei Yan's neck was moved away. Wei Yan did not continue to draw the sword. Although it was only a brief confrontation, Wei Yan already understood that he was no match for the attacker, and since the opponent dared to withdraw the weapon first

, obviously determined that he would not be his opponent even if he drew his sword.

Wei Yan didn't want to humiliate himself, so he put down the hilt of the knife magnanimously, turned around, and looked at the person who came. He saw a girl who looked very heroic, with short hair tied on top of her head, wearing a black night suit, and a smile on her face.

With a leisurely smile, he sat casually on the chair beside the table, with a long sword sheathed on the table next to him.

Wei Yan's eyes shrank. The sword that was still on his neck before was now sheathed. However, he did not hear the sound of the sword being sheathed. It was obvious that the opponent's swordsmanship had reached its peak.
