The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"Rouya, do you remember? Several years ago, we had a great battle in Sifang City!"

“Your Highness, Rouya remembers! In that battle, our Zhenbei Army stained the city walls with blood, almost turning the river red!” Rouya clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred.

Back then, at the beginning of the fall of the Daqing Dynasty, the armies of the Longwu Dynasty and the Dajing Dynasty arrived at Sifang City almost simultaneously.

At that time, the two sides were deadlocked over the ownership of Sifang City. In the end, they decided to put aside their disputes, set aside their differences, and jointly manage the city.

But who would have thought that at night, the Longwu Kingdom suddenly tore up the newly signed agreement and launched a surprise attack on the Dajing army!

That night, the Zhenbei Army lost its advantage due to being caught off guard, resulting in a major defeat!

The other party then used the Holy Maiden Murong Nishang to entangle Shen Li, making it impossible for Shen Li to break free. In the end, all twelve of Shen Li's personal guards were killed by Huo Zhitian!

Afterwards, for the sake of the bigger picture, Shen Li had no choice but to flee south!

Finally, and also for the sake of recuperation and development, the two countries ruled from opposite sides of the river!

However, the question of ownership of Sifang City and Yue City has remained unresolved until now.

“That’s Sifang City, the former fortress of Daqing.” Jia Daoshi rode up to Shen Li’s side, feeling a surge of emotion.

The princess of Daqing is now his wife, and her former city-state has become the target of contention between the two armies.

Shen Li snorted coldly: "Let's settle both old and new scores together!"

At this moment, Lan Biyin rode up and said with a smile, "It's been a long time! Your Highness is as handsome as ever, and even more beautiful and charming than before!"

Shen Li smiled and said, "General, you flatter me. Your skills have improved even more!"

It's clear that the two have a good relationship.

"Your Highness, may I ask who this gentleman is?" Lan Biyin also noticed Jia Daoshi at this moment.

Jia Daoshi's aura was unfathomable, a blend of rage and refinement, making him stand out from the crowd and easily noticeable.

Shen Li introduced, "He is Jia Daoshi, who defeated the top scholar of Longwu Kingdom at Mantuo Manor, and he is also my teacher."

Lan Biyin clasped his hands in a respectful greeting: "So it's Mr. Jia. I've long admired your name, but I never imagined you would be so young."

Jia Daoshi smiled and returned the greeting: "General, you are too kind."

Soon, the army marched into the city.

Shen Li and Lan Biyin immediately convened a meeting with all the generals.

Moon City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Shen Li stood in the center, with Lan Biyin beside her, and the other officers standing around her.

Jia Daoshi, however, was on Shen Li's other side.

In the middle is a large sand table.

Lan Biyin held a wooden stick in her hand and pointed to Sifang City on the opposite bank of the river, saying, "The Longwu Kingdom's 100,000 Thousand Rock Army has already entered the city. There are 30,000 troops inside the city and 70,000 troops stationed in the two military camps and fortresses outside the city!"

"Under Murong Nishang's command, half of the people in Sifang City have left, and now only half remain."

Shen Li asked, "How many ships do we have? How are the siege weapons prepared?"

Sifang City was built right next to a large river. There was a sluice gate in the city wall that allowed the river water to flow directly into the city, solving the water problem for the people in the city. This was also a masterpiece of the Kumu School!

Normally, this gate is closed. It is said to weigh 10,000 tons and can only be lifted by a mechanical pull.

The fastest way to attack the city would be to take a boat into the waterway where the sluice gate is located, but this is obviously impractical.

"We have twenty large multi-story ships that can accommodate about two thousand people, and a thousand small multi-story ships, each of which can accommodate about two hundred people."

Lan Biyin explained.

Ever since Dajing suffered a great loss in that battle, he has been building ships in order to avenge his defeat!

This is also Shen Li's obsession.

"Alright! The army will rest for three days first."

"Yes!"

After the meeting, Shen Li took Jia Daoshi back to her own courtyard.

Upon entering the room, Shen Li immediately removed her armor, leaving only her close-fitting undergarments, revealing her beautiful figure.

Because of the need to take into account the operations on the battlefield, Shen Li's undergarments were very form-fitting, showing off her wasp waist, perky buttocks, and long legs. If this figure were to wear black stockings with letters on them, Jia Daoshi would have a nosebleed!

"Teacher, am I handsome?" Shen Li looked at Jia Daoshi with a playful expression.

"Ahem... Your Highness, of course it's beautiful." Jia Daoshi didn't hide anything.

Shen Li walked up to Jia Daoshi, grabbed his collar, and whispered sweetly in his ear:

"Qianxiao told me that if you can help me fulfill my wish, it's not impossible!"

Jia Daoshi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Qianxiao was just joking with you!"

Shen Li chuckled and said, "You know that's enough! I don't need men! Men will only slow down my spear-wielding speed!"

The last woman to say that was Di Qinglin.

"Teacher, I heard you know acupuncture. I've been running around these past few days, capturing rebels and training troops. My shoulders are sore. Could you give me a couple of needles?" Shen Li walked to the couch and lay down.

"That's no problem."

Jia Daoshi stepped forward and took out a packet of silver needles.

Shen Li reached out and pulled down her thin undergarment.

From Jia Daoshi's perspective, you could vaguely see his outline; it wasn't too big or too small, but his skin was incredibly white.

"Tell me, were there any problems with my arrangements just now?" Shen Li asked.

“Since Your Highness has already made plans, you must be very confident.” Jia Daoshi withdrew his gaze from the ravine and began to insert acupuncture needles.

"This square city is built right next to the river, with half of the city wall submerged in the water. It is also sixty feet thick and wide enough for horses to run on. To prevent people from climbing it, the entire outer facade of the city wall is tilted outwards."

"The height reaches forty meters! There are giant crossbows and catapults of various sizes on top. If our ships enter the firing range, they will inevitably be hit!"

"On either side of Sifang City, there are two small fortresses, which are used to support Sifang City and make a difference in the whole city. The Daqing Dynasty put a lot of effort into building this city."

"Your Highness, if we launch a direct attack, we have no chance of winning."

Shen Li nodded in satisfaction after hearing Jia Daoshi's words:

"It seems the teacher really cares about the students. They must have put in a lot of effort these past few days."

"Of course, since I have promised the prince, I will naturally do my best to fulfill my promise."

Shen Li smiled, lay down again, and let Jia Daoshi continue to insert the acupuncture needles: "Teacher is right, I have already thought it through!"

Jia Daoshi nodded. If Shen Li were to launch a direct attack, it would be suicide.

"Um……"

Jia Daoshi twirled the silver needles in his hand, and Shen Li hummed comfortably.

"Your Highness, I also have a plan."

"Teacher, please continue."

"I've provided a list here. Prepare the materials according to what's on it. Remember to prepare as many as possible."

"What is it?" Shen Li asked curiously.
