Lu Chaosheng in Zhang Shijun's camp also gave the same opinion.

After all, Lu Chaosheng and Chen Song were both involved.

We have a fairly good understanding of the situation inside Zhenjiang city.

As a general, one can also determine the appropriate strategy.

He said, "General Zhang Shi, Zhenjiang City will certainly be difficult to take in a short time. I think we can wait and see what happens in Zhenjiang City."

"and……"

"This humble general may return to Zhenjiang City."

"Secretly gather intelligence and cultivate your power. Once there is any change in Zhenjiang City, General Zhang Shi and I will work together from the inside and outside, and then we can take Zhenjiang City in one fell swoop."

Wang Ming readily agreed to almost the same plan.

However, Zhang Shi shook his head.

"It's a waste of your talent to be doing intelligence gathering and building up your influence; it's also unrelated to your strengths."

As he spoke, Zhang Shi walked to the sand table, pointed, and said, "Since Zhenjiang City cannot be taken in a short time..."

"Then let's start by pulling out Zhenjiang City's front teeth!"

"Wolf Smoke Fortress, Lock River Dock, Heng River Village, Lin River Ferry... I will take these four villages first."

"Surround Zhenjiang City completely, incite the conflict in Zhenjiang City, and then take it over in one fell swoop."

Lu Chaosheng was startled.

Knowing that General Zhang Shi was brave and capable, I never expected him to be this brave and capable. I immediately knelt down and said loudly, "General Zhang Shi is wise. I have many plans and many old friends in these four strongholds."

"I am willing to do everything in my power to assist General Zhang Shi!"

Zhang Shi helped Lu Chaosheng up.

"Alright, let's plan carefully and strive to eliminate the four strongholds as soon as possible!"

……

Wang Ming and Zhang Shi are already eyeing the situation covetously.

Although Pei Wugou was unaware of the situation, his soldier's intuition kept him on high alert, constantly enforcing military discipline and maintaining strict vigilance, while also sending people to spy on military intelligence.

However, no matter how busy or stressed he was, Pei Wugou would still visit Wen He regularly to chat and talk about love and romance, as if time stood still!

This time, as always, he put down everything he was doing, called Shadow over, and was about to leave.

"Lord, Lord, are you leaving again?"

Even Shadow couldn't take it anymore and stammered, "Um, there are just too many things going on here. People keep coming to you, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it all."

"It's alright." Pei Wugou said as he cleaned himself up, restoring his handsome and elegant appearance. "If you can't handle it, just don't say anything."

"Alright, I'm off now. I'll leave this place to you."

Pei Wugou strode out and bumped into the returning deputy general Chen Song. However, preoccupied with Wen He, he didn't even notice Chen Song's travel-worn appearance.

Without even having a chance to say hello, he went to find Wen He.

Upon seeing Wen He, she immediately rushed into his arms. He hugged her and spun her around in a loving embrace. Then, the two of them snuggled together and sat down by the stream.

Wen He couldn't wait to ask, "Awu, is there going to be a war soon? I feel like you're so busy, and the atmosphere in the military camp is tense."

"There are so many people, they're all very nervous."

"I heard that the Marquis issued an order to rectify military discipline, and even the smallest things will result in being dragged out and flogged."

"I've seen several people get beaten up."

Pei Wugou naturally couldn't reveal his status as a marquis in front of Wen He, so he said, "That's right. As you know, I'm a personal guard under General Chen Song, and I've heard General Chen Song mention me."

"That scoundrel Ren Tianye is very good at fooling people."

"He has already deceived countless people into joining him, causing instability in the army. Your Excellency, this is an extraordinary time that requires extraordinary measures. Only in this way can we deter those with ulterior motives."

Pei Wugou praised Marquis Jingyi to Wen He every day, which made Wen He naturally have a very good impression of Marquis Jingyi. She nodded and said, "It seems that the Marquis is a good Marquis."

"Then I can stay in the military camp with peace of mind."

Pei Wugou immediately replied, "Of course, our Marquis is quite extraordinary..."

Just as he was boasting, a group of soldiers escorted a man past in the distance. The man was dressed in rags, his hair was dirty, and he was wearing shackles. He walked unsteadily and looked very pitiful.

Wen He turned her head and saw it.

A pang of pain shot through her heart: "That prisoner, he's so pitiful, Ah Wu, what crime did he commit that deserves to be treated like this?"

Pei Wugou glanced at it and explained, "That person is called Song Shaoyi. He is one of Ren Tianye's men. I don't know what orders he received from Ren Tianye. He left Pukou City, intending to pass through the Jiangbei Fortress Complex and enter Yunjing. I don't know what he wants to do."

"I just happened to run into... I ran into the Marquis."

"He's been caught by the Marquis."

"After multiple interrogations, we were unable to get any information out of him, so we resorted to torture."

Upon hearing that some torture had been used, Wen He's saintly heart instantly kicked in: "Oh, torture? How much pain must he be in?"

"Ah Wu, this person hasn't committed any murder or arson; he's just one of Ren Tianye's men. Isn't it going too far to treat him like this?"

"Why don't you go and plead with General Chen Song on my behalf?"

"Let him go."

"That way, I can save another life!"
