"You said it was Master who gave us the order not to let us enter the city?" Pei Xiaoer's tone was cold.

"Yes, the master is injured and unconscious. Now the master is in charge of the overall situation in the city." The slave said cautiously.

Pei Xiaoer's eyes were mesmerized, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and he remained silent for a long time.

Liu Changle was a little impatient. He opened his mouth to speak several times, but Pei Xiaoer raised his hand to stop him.

Suddenly, Pei Xiaoer actually laughed and said kindly to the master's slave, "Since it is the master's wish in the city, I will naturally comply with it. Please go back and reply to the master, saying that I, Pei Xiaoer, am willing to listen to the master's arrangements and am willing to work with you."

Stationed outside the city."

As soon as these words came out, the slave obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear on his face dissipated a lot. He saluted and said: "Yes, I will go back and report to Master Ming right now." He was about to leave after speaking.

Pei Xiaoer stopped him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our army has come a long way, and we don't have much food and grass to carry. I kindly ask Master to send some food and grass so that our army can have a good meal, and still have the strength to fight against the officers and soldiers."

Pei Xiaoer can be regarded as a rake if there are no dates. After all, he is a thug called from the city, so he has to be rewarded with some food or something.

"Yes, I will definitely tell Master."

Pei Xiaoer personally sent him away. Watching him go away, Pei Xiaoer turned around and his face became extremely gloomy.

"Liu Zhizu, Pei Zhu'er, take your people and form an array on the spot, ready to repel the invading enemy at any time."

The two clasped their fists and accepted the order.

"Others set up camp on the spot."

"Yes" everyone took the order and got busy.

Pei Xiaoer looked in the direction of Wenxi County, thoughtfully.

In Wenxi County, the master was questioning the slave in detail.

"So, Pei Xiaoer has agreed to set up camp outside the city?" Master frowned and looked directly at the slave.

The house slave was so frightened by his eyes that he timidly said: "That's what he said."

The master closed his eyes, and after a moment a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, "It seems that Pei Xiaoer is also a person who understands current affairs. What else did he say?"

"He said he came all the way and the army didn't have enough food and grass, so he wanted us to give him some."

"Give it to him. If you can't bear the child, you can't trap the wolf. Let him fight to the death with the army outside the city!" The master stroked his beard and looked quite proud.

At the same time, inside the army camp.

Zhang Daojun seemed quite wary of the sudden arrival of nearly 10,000 Pei family troops. Compared with other rogue bandits, this army appeared to be more regular and well-trained.

"Let's talk about it, what should we do next?" Zhang Daojun asked, looking at the generals in the tent.

"General," a red-faced man stood up and said, "the enemy has come all the way, and they will definitely be exhausted. If we can take the initiative to attack the enemy at this time, we will be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

"Idiot" someone immediately retorted, "Didn't you see that the enemy has two battalions and at least more than 3,000 people are waiting for it? Besides, our army has been exhausted after attacking the city for days. You want to attack at this time to make our army completely exhausted."

Die like that?"

"Who are you scolding, bastard?" The red-faced man was furious and rushed forward to take action.

Seeing that a full-scale martial arts show was about to take place in the big tent, Zhang Daojun pulled out his saber and stabbed it hard on the table in front of him, scaring everyone into silence.

"It's noisy, why don't you stop arguing? Now the enemy is facing us, and a little carelessness will lead to overthrow. But what about you?" Zhang Daojun pulled out his sword again and pointed at the generals present, "You are still fighting among yourself, are you?

Are you really not afraid of my general’s military law?”

Seeing Zhang Daojun getting angry, all the generals in the tent calmed down like frightened quails.

"Hmph." Zhang Daojun snorted coldly and put his sword back into its sheath. "Go back and appease the good soldiers. We will continue the attack tomorrow morning."

"Yes" the generals agreed.

The red-faced man looked at the man next to him with disdain, snorted loudly, and walked away.

After everyone went down, Zhang Daojun sat back on his chair. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He slapped his big hand on the table and cursed: "What are they? It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than enough to fail."

Captain Ding, who had been standing by his side, hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "General, will you continue to attack the city tomorrow, or attack the Pei family's army outside the city?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Daojun didn't answer the question, but kicked the ball to him.

"I think each has its own advantages and disadvantages. After several days of continuous attacks by our army, Wenxi County is already on the verge of collapse. It only needs a little more force from our army to capture it. However, the disadvantage is that we need to guard against the enemy outside the city.

Pei Jiajun."

The captain of the servant paused for a moment and glanced at Zhang Daojun's face. Seeing that the latter had no expression on his face and didn't know what he was thinking, he cautiously continued: "Secondly, there are some advantages in attacking the enemy troops outside the city. Their troops came from a long way and passed through a

After resting at night, the soldiers will be even more tired, and if we attack the enemy at this time, we can capture them in one fell swoop."

Zhang Daojun squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Then which one do you think should be attacked first?"

The captain of the servant gritted his teeth and said: "I think we should attack Wenxi County first. Our army has cavalry on the side. I don't think the enemy troops outside the city dare to act rashly. On the contrary, once our army takes Wenxi County, our army will immediately

We are in an invincible position. Therefore, I think it is best to attack Wenxi County first at this time."

When Zhang Daojun heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You, you, you still don't listen to me asking you to read more books. Don't you know that when Emperor Taizu was choosing to fight Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng first?

What do you mean? Shicheng is a man of small talent and arrogant friends. He is small but has no foresight. His arrogance tends to cause trouble. If he attacks Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng will definitely not save him. But if he attacks Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang will definitely mobilize the entire country's troops to save him.

How similar was the situation at that time to this time? The rogue bandits in the city had been overwhelmed by our army, and although the enemy troops outside the city had come from afar, their morale was high and their fighting spirit was strong. If our army attacked the enemy troops outside the city first,

Then the enemies in the city may not be able to go out to fight. If our army attacks the city first, the enemies outside the city will definitely attack us with all their strength. Even if we have cavalry in hand, the outcome will be difficult to predict."

Hearing these words, Captain Ding was dumbfounded and seemed to understand. He scratched his head, smiled at Zhang Daojun, and stopped talking. He was just a fighting man, and had never learned about such a complicated situation. Just talk to him and let's talk about it.

It's like playing the piano to a cow.

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Daojun was also helpless. It goes without saying that this family has a son and is loyal, but with his level of education, he shouldn't ask for too much. "Anyway, just remember, tomorrow morning, we will attack the enemies outside the city first."

Jun, do you understand?"

"I understand." Captain Ding breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his hands, "I will go back and prepare now."
