After Shang Kexi decided to besiege the city, the soldiers and civilians in his camp started to move. The civilians began to dig trenches and build fortifications. The Green Army soldiers and flag soldiers were ready to fight. Once they found the Ming army in the city causing trouble, they would immediately kill them.
The movements below the city were quickly discovered by the Ming army on the watchtower. The officer guarding the city immediately sent someone to report to Xiao Ting and Di Qing. At this time, Di Qing had already arrived at Xiao Ting's temporary residence. General Shi was already there and they were discussing the situation of the battle.
"Today's attack on Shang Xi has caused the death of so many elites, so it's not impossible for us to annihilate them."”
Di Qing said," This is the fastest way. However, even if we destroy Shang Kexi, we will lose many elites. You should know that our lord only has tens of thousands of elite troops. If we overuse them here, how are we going to face the Slave Jian army behind us?" Thus, I suggest that we use the old method of using the city walls to deplete their forces.”
"But will Shang Kexi still attack the city?" General Shi asked. He has already lost so many elites, and with Shang Ke Xi's experience, he definitely won't continue to lose them. I reckon that he will definitely change it to a siege to trap us in the city.”
"Report!"
As soon as Shi Wanshui finished speaking, the soldier sent by the city guard officer rushed in and knelt on one knee."Reporting to my lord, the Qing army outside the city is using civilian workers to dig trenches and build fences. It seems that they intend to besiege the city for a long time.”
Xiao Ting, who was listening to the debate between the two generals, ordered the soldiers to leave after receiving the report. Then, he said,"General Shi, your mouth is really sharp. Just now, you said that Shang Kexi might surround the city. As expected, you received this news as soon as you finished speaking.”
"Didn't the lord and His Majesty already predict this outcome?" General Shi smiled bitterly.”
Xiao Ting didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he waved his hand and said,""Then tell me now, should we fight directly before they complete the encirclement, or should we use the old method to drag it out with them?”
Shi Wanshui and Di Qing were silent for a while, then Di Qing spoke first,"If my lord wants to be quick, then let's fight directly. If you want to be stable, then let's wait."”
"If we fight directly, our losses will not be small. Of course, if the lord has reinforcements, we can fight directly." Even though Shang Kexi might not be able to launch an attack if we drag this out, their logistical pressure is much greater than ours. Moreover, if we don't leave the city for a month, they will think that we don't have the courage and gradually relax their defenses. If we seize the opportunity and rush out, we will definitely be able to catch them off guard. We might even be able to completely wipe out the Qing army that surrounded us with the smallest price and then the army will advance straight to Guangzhou.”
After hearing their suggestions, Xiao Ting looked at Xiao He,""Prime Minister Xiao once followed Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the world. Although he rarely went to battle personally, he still had a good grasp of the overall situation.”
Xiao He stroked his beard and said," The two generals have already said that if the lord has follow-up troops, we can seek speed. If not, we can seek stability. So, it's entirely up to the lord to decide what to do."”
Fine, after talking for so long, this guy kicked the ball back.
Xiao Ting thought for a moment and directly asked in the Emperor group chat,""@ All members, do you still have red packets?”
Ying Zheng: " Group Leader, aren't you spouting nonsense? If we had red packets, we would have given them to you long ago. Why would we keep these?"”
"Brother Zheng is right. We can't eat the red packet."”
Liu Che: " Group Leader, people who do big things can't be indecisive. Your indecision will harm you. Since you've set a plan, then follow the original implementation."”
Zhao Kuangyin: " We have experience in war. You can stall him for a month or two and see if these people have let down their guard. If they do, you can seize the opportunity to give him a good beating."”
After that, Yang Guang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other emperors also issued their own articles. In the end, Xiao Ting also decided to waste his time with these people.
After making up his mind, he told everyone about his and the emperors 'intentions. Di Qing and the others also unanimously agreed to this plan after listening, and then they all bid farewell to their own matters.
After everyone left, only Xiao Ting and his bodyguard Ge Nia were left in the room. Xiao Ting already knew where this pretty boy came from, and the sword in his hand had the words " Yuan Hong " carved on it. With this sword, Xiao Ting didn't even need to ask to confirm whether Ge Nia was the one in history or the one in the anime.
"How good would it be if there were a few mechanical beasts at this time!”
Ge Nie looked at Xiao Ting in surprise, then said,"The appearance of cannons has made mechanical beasts no longer a weapon on the battlefield.”
Alright, the secret code matched. This guy was that Uncle Nie.
"Can you leap over roofs and walk on walls?" Xiao Ting asked.”
Ge Nia was stunned and looked at Xiao Ting in surprise. This lord seemed to know his situation very well.
After hesitating for a moment, he said," I could have, but I don't know if it's because of my rebirth or because of this world. My strength has decreased a lot.”
Xiao Ting's eyes lit up and he asked,""With your current strength, can you deal with 300 elite soldiers without being injured?”

Off-topic:" Because the results of this book are very bad, I concluded that I don't know how to write a good story. I originally wanted to cut it off, but I thought that I should continue writing. I will try my best to write a good story for everyone to read. Although it feels unreasonable, Feilu's book doesn't seem to be reasonable, right?
He added,"Please support me." In the end, he would beg a young lady to be his wife. Haha.”
