Perhaps it was because Concubine Rong Gui was working too hard today, and the saint softened, "Come on, let him go if he wants to, but it's a battlefield after all, swords have no eyes, and it's not that easy to take credit."

Concubine Rong Gui was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty!"

There must be some credit for her brother's departure. It only depends on the size of the credit. If you are lucky, maybe you can get a knighthood, which is too beautiful.

The next day, Rong Ding packed up his things, took the documents from the Ministry of Officials, and set off with his guards.

After walking for half a month, I arrived at the front line to meet the grandfather of the country.

Grandpa Guo looked at the documents of the Ministry of Officials, and he knew very well that if Rong Ding could stop at this time, it could only be the meaning of the sage.

The sage is willing to give him a little credit for his promotion.

Grandpa Guo hung him for two days first, but he was not very annoying when he saw this, and he just stayed in the tent without a task for him.

At this moment, Grandpa Guo received news from Jiang Che.

Originally, the father-in-law ordered You’er to lead 5,000 people to conquer a small town called Hecheng, but Jiang Che sent a letter to him. The moat of Hecheng was unusually wide, and the entire city wall was made of granite. Going to this city still needs more manpower, and the originally planned 20 days is probably not enough.

The fact that a small town has such a defense was something that the grandfather of the country never expected.

When You'er set out with the troops, he only brought about twenty days' worth of food and forage. Considering the time on the road, the food and forage must not be enough.

The grandfather of the country thought about it, and then handed over the task of delivering food to Rong Ding. After all, the saint had to give face, but Rong Ding could not fight, so he could only give him some light work.

It's just that You'er needs reinforcements, he really can't tell the strength, and now the siege of a big city here is at the most critical time.

So in addition to the people who escorted the grain and grass, the grandfather of the country also gave Rong Ding an infantry team of 500 people to escort the grain and grass to guard against the small group of Jin troops that might encounter.

Rong Ding set off with his own bodyguard and the food delivery team.

Jiang Che has been leading the soldiers to attack the city for more than ten days.

There are not many soldiers guarding the city here, it is estimated that there are about 2,000 people, but the city is built extremely strong.

Granite is produced locally, so the entire city wall is made of granite.

Not to mention, the moat is extremely wide and deep, making it difficult to build bridges. In the past ten days, the soldiers used a rain of arrows to fill the trench with a road that was ten feet wide at the cost of a few casualties. .

At the same time, tunnels are still being dug forward from the trenches.

Digging the tunnel is not to enter the city through the tunnel, but to dig the foundation of the city wall. No matter how strong the city wall is without foundation support, it will only collapse.

Jiang Che did not intend to attack the city now.

In fact, there is no good way to siege a city. If you attack by force, you usually use the head pile.

This is not because Jiang Che is merciful and soft-hearted. It is a taboo to be soft-hearted for the general. When it is time to be ruthless, he will naturally be ruthless.

Now the task of sieging the city is not urgent, and he does not want to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Jiang Che sat on the ground and looked around.

It was already late at night. Except for the patrolling soldiers, everyone else slept, and the camp was very quiet.

He looked at a large tent not far away, and it was full of military rations.

It's just that the rations are running out, and it can last for two or three days. The scouts he sent to deliver the letter to the grandfather have already returned and brought back the words of the grandfather.
