The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 182 Preparations (Thanks Ye Yeye for the monthly pass)
But it is a day to be able to hide it now. After all, if all the big men in Dongwu Yangzhong are taken down, the food and grass supply for the army outside the city will fall on him again. If Wang Gang's food has not arrived at that time If not, it will be a big trouble for him.

During dinner in the afternoon, the Governor of Niu had already known in advance that Guo Dingxin and Wang Liang were coming together, and arranged a reception banquet for the two of them again, which need not be elaborated.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Changsun Ji has been in Dongwuyang for seven days.During these seven days, Changsun Ji also discussed the battle situation with the generals. Although Yangping was captured by the Liang army, it did not mean that they had lost.

Their ultimate goal is to delay the grain army going north, and the troops in their hands have not suffered much damage, and they have the capital to fight the next battle with the grain army.

However, the Liang army crossed the river and captured Yangping. After all, Changsun Ji's side lost. Now in terms of the overall offensive situation of the Liang army, they occupy the bottom.

What Changsun Ji discussed in the past few days was how to reverse the situation, at least how to bring the two sides to an even level.However, no one could come up with a good solution when they had already lost the opportunity.

Moreover, in the past few days, what made Changsun Ji a little worried was that there seemed to be some bad atmosphere among the generals.Those soldiers are outside the city with military orders, and they are not allowed to leave the barracks, which is fine.

And these ministries will live in the city all day.And they are not fools, the general situation in the city, after a long time, slowly began to find something wrong, and the daily meals here are mostly meat, but there are indeed very few vegetarian dishes.

This kind of situation is indeed a bit abnormal in Yanzhou, a state and county where vegetarianism is the mainstay.Now, Changsun Ji already knew that some generals had already started to mutter in low spirits.

He didn't say anything to explain this kind of thing, nor did he say anything to prohibit it.If you speak out to explain, it is estimated that it will only become darker and darker, and if you speak out to prohibit it, it will become more severe.This matter can only go with the flow, and it will be as long as it lasts.

After simply eating something at noon, Changsun Ji locked himself in the room and began to study it in front of the sand table. He had a hard time for a while, and he was studying how to repel the grain army every day.

At this time, when Changsun Ji was studying the terrain on the sand table, there was a sudden knock on the door.Changsun Ji didn't raise his head, he was still staring at the sand table, but he shouted, "Come in."

The door of the room was opened from the outside, and a personal guard walked in and told Chang Sun Ji: "General, Director Wang is back."

"Really?" Changsun Ji raised his head suddenly, and excitedly said to the visitor.

"It's true, how dare you lie to the general with this news, Director Wang has already sent someone to report, and now he is ten miles away from the city."

"Okay." Changsun Ji was full of joy, walked back and forth in the room, and then told the soldiers: "You go in person, after you have met Wang Gang, tell him that you don't need to let him enter the city, just let him bring the food Transport him to the camp outside the city. Then let him come into the city to meet me, and don’t make any unnecessary noise.”

"Obey." The soldier bowed his hands and took the order to withdraw.

After the soldiers left, Changsun Ji walked back and forth in the room twice before suppressing the joy in his heart.He couldn't help being unhappy, and now he was in a very embarrassing dead end.

But now, with Wang Gang's arrival, there is a turning point in this dead end.

"Come here, tell General Guo and General He to come to my room." Changsun Ji ordered outside the door after he calmed down.

"Of order." A reply came from outside the door.Then there was the sound of footsteps that gradually faded away.

With the departure of the orderly soldiers, Changsun Ji soon saw Guo Dingxin and He Zheng.After the two bowed their hands to greet each other, Changsun Ji said to them, "Wang Gang has already brought the food, and it is now outside the city."

"Haha, it's finally here, and now my mouth is almost fading out like a bird." Guo Dingxin laughed loudly.

"You, that's right. You want to eat meat. You're not eating meat every day these days. If you don't eat it yourself, you have to say that your mouth has lost the taste of birds." He Zheng joked to him with a smile.

"Hey, I don't eat. Naturally, there are my reasons. I see that you have eaten a lot in the past few days, and you will suffer then." Guo Dingxin looked at He Zheng with some amusement.

Seeing him like this, He Zheng glanced at him with some doubts, and was about to ask the reason, but was interrupted by Changsun Ji's words.

"Okay, you guys can discuss these matters in private. Prepare to listen to orders now." Changsun Ji ordered.

Guo Dingxin and He Zheng also straightened their expressions.

"He Zheng listened to the order. You go to the barracks immediately. Wang Gang's food delivery team will arrive soon. I have ordered him to transport the food to the barracks. Once the food arrives in the barracks, you will send troops to protect the food and not show up." Any mistakes."

"Obey." He Zheng bowed his hands and accepted the order.

When He Zheng was about to leave, Changsun Ji said again: "Also, you pass an order to General Wang for me to lead the troops into the city at Xushi tonight."

He Zheng's expression changed when he heard that Changsun Ji wanted Wang Liang to lead troops into the city, and he was about to open his mouth to ask, but he saw Changsun Ji wave his hand at him, and as long as he gave up, he cupped his hands and left the room.

After He Zheng exited the room, Changsun Ji said to Guo Dingxin again: "Go and summon the swordsmen and hide on the sides. I will summon the Niu County Guard later. If he does not obey the order, you will kill him." .”

"Hey, it's finally time. General, let me tell you, if I wasn't afraid of your punishment, I would have killed him a long time ago. He is smiling all day long, but he doesn't have a single person in charge." Guo Dingxin laughed.

Changsun Ji nodded, signaling him to go out and get ready.

In fact, Changsun Ji was not afraid of Governor Niu, he was just a literati, even if he didn't need others, he could capture him by himself, but this man had two men by his side.

Whether it was eating at the dinner table or talking about other matters on weekdays, these two men were standing behind him, basically inseparable.

Maybe the sheriff of Niu knew that he had done too many wicked things, and was afraid that someone would assassinate him, so he specially asked these two men to protect him at all times.

However, this has little to do with Changsun Ji. Whether Changsun Ji chooses to kill the Niu County Sheriff depends not on whether the Niu Sheriff has done any immoral things.

It's whether the sheriff of Niu will listen or not.During the period since he came to Dongwuyang, although the governor of the Niu County has done everything in place in the reception, he did not let Changsun Ji intervene in some key matters.
