Chapter 199 She Arrived in the North First
"Let's discuss this again. As long as we can survive this attack by foreigners, the city gate will be defended."

Liu Yunyan also knew that the chances were slim. As the main commander in the city, she absolutely could not show any sign of weakness or cowardice.

Given the huge gap in combat power, if the army's morale is shaken again, it will be completely over.

They didn't dare let the people and the soldiers under them know the situation of the granary.

But outsiders deliberately spread the news.

It was said that there was no food in the city and reinforcements were delayed in arriving, so the Emperor of Da Qi wanted to give up the northern land.

He even sent people outside to clamor that the twelve states that were not recovered that year were gifts from the Great Qi.

The situation in the city was already difficult, and the attack on the heart was ruthless.

The people in the city were in a panic for a while, and finally Liu Yunyan stood in the city and asked the outsiders to take out the agreement documents.

Without any documents from Da Qi, how can one say that the twelve states that were lost were given voluntarily by the Emperor of Da Qi?

Of course foreigners don’t have any documents!
Given the old emperor's caution, how could he leave such a big handle for others?

It is said that those who are not of my race must have different minds.

If the document was really left behind, his throne would be unstable. What could he gain by making so many plans?
Liu Yunyan understood this, but the people and soldiers under her did not know it, so she used this to stabilize the morale of the troops.

When the news from Shuozhou City spread, even the reinforcements and the capital city had to sigh that they didn't expect they could hold on until now.

In the meeting room.

The remaining generals on the Da Qi side were all covered in dust and dirt, with their hair falling out and no one had the time to comb it. There were even bloodstains on two of the gauze.

We discussed around the sand table for the whole night but couldn't come up with a good solution.

What they lack are manpower and supplies, and they will have no firewood to cook and keep warm tomorrow.

The tables, chairs and benches in people’s homes have all been broken down, and the next step cannot be to demolish the houses.

This problem is a dead end. It cannot be solved and no tactics will work.

The foreigners also had ladders and catapults.

In the end, there was no other way but to fight hard. Everyone knew that today might be the last night, so they got the dry food and ate it slowly and carefully.

-

The shop switched coordinates, and Shen You could only choose the location, not the specific position.

When she arrived in the north, she looked at the tall and majestic mountains on one side and became gigantic.

The furnishings outside the shop are also more in line with the northern theme, with green tiles and snow on the door threshold.

It's really a place far away from human habitation, like a place of seclusion and spiritual practice.

The nearest fire seemed to be quite far away. It might also be because there were no supplies in the city and lights could not be turned on in most places. The darkness and the cold wind blowing through the valley made the city seem even more isolated and desolate.

Modern facilities give you a sense of security.

Shen You turned the light in front of the door to the brightest, hoping to be discovered. It was so cold and she didn't know the way, so she couldn't deliver the goods to the door.

Wrapped in cotton pajamas, I returned to the room. This quiet place is perfect for doing things quietly.

Shen You is reading materials related to traditional craft restoration, combining it with what he learned from Da Qi. There are also tools in the shop so he can try it out.

Lost craftsmanship is easier to restore if it has official records, but the accumulation of thousands of years is vast and too many things have been lost due to the gaps in generations.

Like the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The legends in ancient books are so miraculous, but unfortunately they have been lost.

Shen You also wanted to find these useful things in ancient times. Maybe they would be useful in the present world, like the manuscript of the former supervisor last time.

The national team leader had a conversation with her two days ago, and the feedback was that the project process was already being finalized, and the follow-up would be confidential.

Wen Zhi took advantage of the dead of night when no one was paying attention and came to the shop from a temporary tent hundreds of miles away from the capital.

As soon as he came in, his face was slightly gloomy. The snow-capped mountains outside, the north wind blowing like a knife, where else could it be but the north?
He is still on the road, which would take at least ten days, but she has already arrived in the North?
In the room, Shen You was wearing a coral fleece homewear hat, holding an electronic document and a cup of iced milk tea.

"Why did you come to the North? Didn't you say before that you couldn't come?" And I haven't told him yet.

Shen You smiled and put down the milk tea, "I wanted to give you a little surprise."

"." Wen Zhi sat down beside her, "It's a surprise, but at least wait until I arrive before coming over."

"This place is not only desolate, but there are also foreigners who are ready to make a move. What if something unexpected happens in the city?"

His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were full of worry, and his speech speed could not help but speed up.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the battlefield is littered with corpses. For people who grew up in a peaceful era, it is not a scene that can be easily accepted.

"By the time you arrive, I'm afraid Miss Liu Er and the others won't be able to hold on until then." Shen You sat up straighter in the golden nanmu rocking chair.

Hearing this, Wen Zhi grabbed the armrest of the rocking chair and looked at her accusingly, "So, you did this for her, not for me?"

"And you said you would give me a surprise?"

He pursed his lips and took a deep breath.

"Not exactly, I took the money." Shen You turned to him with a smile in her eyes.

"Helping her is also helping you. Once Shuozhou City is destroyed, the subsequent battles will be difficult to fight. When foreigners occupy the North, it won't take long to take it back."

What if the old emperor wants to borrow the power of foreigners again and stab you in the back?

He came up with such a team configuration that the generals of high rank were not only unwilling to listen to the military advisor, but also wanted to purge his side.

It's hard to say there is no back-up plan.

Shuozhou City cannot be lost.

"It's been delayed for too long. Even if we have supplies, we may not be able to hold on. The battle between nations is about national destiny, which can be changed, but don't use modern high-damage explosives that affect the stability of the plane. There may be backlash."

Wen Zhi's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Shen You intently, his voice gentle but firm.

"You don't need to help the old emperor so much. Even if I can't keep it, I will fight back."

Shen You: "Don't worry, I always put myself first."

She is not from Da Qi, so naturally she will not take risks for Da Qi.

Furthermore, she was engaged in cross-dimensional business, so she had to be able to deal with various situations, otherwise how could she do business in the future.

"That's true."

Wen Zhi smiled with relief.

"There's definitely not much to eat on the march. Do you want a midnight snack? I'll cook."

She has no problem cooking noodles.

"Okay." Wen Zhi raised the corners of his lips.

Shen You cooked clear soup noodles and simply adjusted the ingredients. There was no onion at home, so she didn’t even add chopped green onion.

Wen Zhi enjoyed the meal very much.

At the dining table, Shen You propped up his chin and asked, "Let me ask you a question. Have you ever heard of the Thirteen Ghost Needles in Da Qi?"

Wen Zhi thought for a moment, "Are you talking about the technique of combining medicine and metaphysics? The previous supervisor really knew it, but I don't know how much he knew, because his disciples didn't pass it down."

So the Great Qi really existed, but was lost?
"I saw some information yesterday, I don't know if it's true or not, saying that with this kind of acupuncture, the person doing the acupuncture will hear people talking in their ears, which is extremely dangerous."

People in her line of work are always more interested in the magical legends and skills of ancient times.

"When he was alive, he said that not everyone can learn this kind of thing. It depends on talent and fate. Some people only learn the basics, which is a huge loss to themselves."

"No wonder it was lost." Shen You sighed.
