The struggle history of dressing up as Gone with the Wind

Chapter 1513 Helpless
Although old man Shi said that he would not follow them to the valley, he failed to control his legs and left Bai's house early in the morning after them.

At this time, Dou Dou, Jiu Yue and Cao Shi in Qingcheng were sitting together having breakfast.

"The city wall has been strengthened. As for the food, grass and ordnance we need, we will arrive in two days. This time should be the last counterattack of the rebels. As long as we win this battle, we can disarm and return to the fields."

Jiuyue paused slightly when she heard her husband's words. She wanted to go back to the valley a long time ago. She has seen too many joys and sorrows in her five years of life. It can be said that she has really grown up at this time, and she can already help her husband take care of herself. But if she could, she would rather stay in the valley like the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and never come out. It’s been five years, and she hasn’t been back to the valley for five years. They were going to leave the mountain soon, and she couldn't wait to go back to Tiecheng, but she knew she couldn't, the army couldn't do without her, and she had to stay in Qingcheng when the war was about to break out.

Cao Shi put down his chopsticks after listening to the third brother's words; "There is no doubt that we will definitely win this battle, but what I am worried about is that the enemy will not give up resistance so easily."

Dou Dou was stunned when he heard that, and quickly realized; "Brother is worried that they will hide in the dark and harm us."

"That's for sure. If it wasn't for the strength of our army in the past few years, we have robbed the opponent's food twice, and the rain disaster the year before, they wouldn't have lost so quickly. Do you know why your majesty has never sent troops to Yongcheng?"

"Naturally, I know some of them. The people have suffered too much these years. Due to various reasons, countless people have died. Your Majesty no longer wants to fight any more."

"Another reason is that Yongcheng's rebels are different from the other two groups. The other two rebels are not popular, but Yongcheng's rebels are different. The leader, Sun Kong, is a great person. The governance is very good, and none of the people in the city is hungry, so he is very supported by the people of Yongcheng. In our eyes, he is a rebel, but in the eyes of the people of Yongcheng, he is the savior, at least when the world is in chaos. In those few years, he protected Yongcheng and did not displace the people, which is also the reason why he can persist until now when he encounters a food crisis."

"In this case, why doesn't your majesty ask for peace? Our majesty is not too tolerant. As long as he surrenders, his majesty will definitely let him live."

"In the past two years, as far as I know, there have been three waves, but the three waves of recruiters were killed as soon as they entered Yongcheng."

"Why is this?" Jiuyue asked curiously as she looked at her elder brother.

"Because Sun Kong is the only one left in the Sun family. His whole family was killed by the late emperor, and he died unjustly. His death was extremely tragic. His wife jumped down in grief and anger after being insulted by the late emperor. Under such a premise, do you think he will surrender?"

Dou Dou sighed when he heard this; "That means immortality."

Cao Shi nodded silently, the late emperor was dead, even if he was nothing in his lifetime, as a courtier they would not be able to comment.

"Eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will be here soon." Jiuyue looked at the two of them and reminded them.

Thinking of his wife, Cao Shi softened his expression a lot; "There are dumplings and glutinous rice, as long as you don't come to Qingcheng, you should be fine."

Dou Dou and Jiuyue nodded in agreement.
