Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 366 Life is not as expected, Part 89

In Sanbian City, near the Peacock River.

Song Yuan and his men have already calculated the resources needed to repair the city wall.

With the cooperation of Murong Lie, the necessary materials have also arrived in place.

However, it is still on the way, and it will take some time to transport it to the city.

Taking this opportunity, Song Yuan did not intend to sit idle.

He immediately gave orders to use the limited materials at hand to reinforce the dilapidated house as much as possible!

From the outside, the entire city looks like a huge military camp.

The houses in the city replaced the previous function of tents.

In the cold winter, this type of house is warmer and more solid.

Although everyone had brought tents with them when they rushed to the city, Song Yuan still let everyone live in the barracks to keep out the cold.

In Song Yuan's opinion, the soldiers under his command cannot be too idle.

We must keep our guard up at all times, only in this way can we avoid any serious accidents.

In his spare time, Song Yuan stood by the city wall and looked down at the city below.

It has to be said that this city has a tragic fate.

When the Qin Dynasty signed the contract and had to cede the city, it also caused some damage to the city.

It fell into the hands of the barbarians, who had just repaired it.

In the end, it was once again in ruins.

For a moment, Song Yuan could only silently make up his mind to try his best to prevent these three cities from falling into the hands of the enemy!

Just at this moment, Murong Lie and Wei Da came over immediately.

"Brother, we've been waiting for a long time. A day has passed, and the other two cities should be almost empty, right? Should we find someone to take a look?"

Wei Da clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.

Song Yuan waved his hand: "If they want to retreat, why do we need to go and watch? While we're waiting, they might have already withdrawn from the city!"

"If you send people out at this time, and the other side thinks it's a provocation, they could easily be ambushed and suffer unnecessary losses!"

"In my opinion, it's better to wait until the troops sent by General Wei arrive. It won't be too late to discuss the next step!"

Song Yuan had just finished speaking when Murong Lie came up to Wei Da and gently patted his shoulder.

"You reckless man, I've already explained it to you. What do you think? Now, is Your Highness saying the same thing as me?"

"We only have so few people now, it's not appropriate to divide our forces. If we are ambushed by the barbarians, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend this city, let alone the other two!"

Everyone could understand Wei Da's feelings.

Especially Murong Lie, while he was comforting the other party, his heart was actually burning with passion.

However, compared to Wei Da's stubbornness, Murong Lie knew more clearly in his heart what could and could not be done at this point!

More importantly, the situation in those two cities is probably no different from the city under everyone's feet.

The barbarians will certainly cause great destruction before leaving. In this case, if the defensive offensive is not complete, it will not be possible for a few people to hold the city!

According to Murong Lie's estimation, at least 20,000 people must be dispatched to each city, and only in this way would it be enough.

Now, everyone has occupied the most important of the three cities. There is really no need to take risks at this special juncture.

Although he understood this in his heart, for a moment, Wei Da was still anxiously scratching his head and complaining uncontrollably.

"That bastard named Wei, why hasn't he sent someone over yet? What's he doing dithering?"

"Okay, stop scolding me. Arranging tens of thousands of troops to go out is not as easy as you think."

Murong Lie on the side shook his head and smiled: "The general is now in charge of the entire border. As the saying goes, a single move can affect the entire body. Even if he wants to mobilize troops, he must gather all the troops!"

"I suspect the general will arrange for those people to arrive in Sanbian City along with the food and fodder we've been given. Otherwise, we might not be able to feed so many mouths!"

This juncture is not as simple as Wei Da said.

After all, it is impossible for all the soldiers in the rear to be cavalry. If not, it would take more time and they would need to carry a lot of baggage.

Walking dozens of miles a day is considered a forced march.

Patience is still needed at this critical moment, otherwise you will drive yourself to death!

"Alright, alright, stop nagging!"

Wei Da waved his hand impatiently, "Anyway, let's make a deal. When we recapture the other two cities, I want to be the first to rush in!"

"How can you rush into two cities at the same time by yourself? If it doesn't work, cut yourself in half!" Murong Lie joked on the side.

As soon as these words were spoken, Situ and Jinlian beside Song Yuan burst out laughing.

Noticing this atmosphere, Wei Da's mood not only eased a lot, but he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Brother Wei, if you really have nothing to do, why not lead your troops and collect bricks throughout the city!"

Song Yuan smiled and gave a suitable suggestion: "We are going to repair the city wall next, and those bricks will have many uses in the future!"

"There are people everywhere in the city now, and I don't want to join those guys!"

Wei Da curled his lips, then shook his head and rolled up his sleeves: "Forget it, I'd better go find someone to fight with!"

Having said that, Wei Da was about to leave in a rage, but before he took two steps, he suddenly stopped.

Turning back, he glanced at Situ Jing and said, "Sister-in-law, I've always heard that you're very skilled in martial arts. Are you interested in fighting?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Situ Jing's eyes suddenly showed a hint of eagerness to try.

Even Song Yuan, who was standing by, had a serious look in his eyes, clearly showing interest.

Wei Da and Situ Jing rarely fought each other. Even if they did spar with each other, they would only do so briefly.

If we really want to say who is stronger and who is weaker, it is still unclear.

For a moment, Song Yuan couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

"no problem!"

Situ Jing had been feeling a little annoyed for a long time, so she nodded readily in response to such a suggestion.

For a moment, the two of them took up their positions, and the people around them stepped back a few steps, sticking their heads out to watch.

Wei Da twisted his neck and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are a woman, I will let you three moves first!"

"If you want to spar, just spar. Why so much nonsense?" Situ Jing was very straightforward and simply shook her head to refuse.

Wei Da smiled cheerfully: "My sister-in-law is really a woman who is as good as a man. Then I will listen to you. I won't let you!"

As he spoke, Situ Jing took out the Tang sword that Song Yuan had given him.

Seeing this scene, Song Yuan on the side couldn't help but show a bit of worry on his face: "Let me tell you in advance, you two can spar, but don't really hurt anyone!"

"Don't worry, brother. I know you're kind to women. I promise I won't hurt your sister-in-law!"

As they were talking, the two of them had already made a powerful move.

Wei Da also held a long sword, which collided with the Tang sword in Situ Jing's hand.

After this period of training, Song Yuan's vision has also broadened, and he has discovered the clues after just a few moves.

The great movement seemed vigorous, but in fact he didn't use his full strength at all. It was obvious that he was just giving in to Situ Jing!

But even so, the two of them could only barely fight to a draw.

After dozens of moves, Situ Jing put the knife back to his waist cleanly and neatly, without giving Wei Da a chance to speak, and responded directly.

"I lost!"

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Hasn't the winner been decided yet?"

"I'm not a fool, how can I not see it? You didn't use your power at all, it was clearly me!" Situ Jing also figured it out at this moment.

How could anyone wield a heavy sword with such vigor and power, yet not feel embarrassed or out of breath in the end?

Just based on these details, it is enough to prove Wei Da's powerful strength!

According to Situ Jing's estimation, if Wei Da really used all his strength, there was a real possibility that he could defeat his opponent with his strength.

"Hehe, you can see all this!" Wei Da smiled with a bit of embarrassment.

Song Yuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, Brother Wei, you should get busy. Let's go for a walk on the city wall!"

Seeing Wei Da nodded and left, Song Yuan took the two women and slowly walked on the city wall.

"By the way, if it is really a fight of life and death, how many moves do you think you can withstand from Brother Wei?" Song Yuan suddenly asked.

Situ Jing, standing by, frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment before answering, "Brother Wei's strength is too strong. Even just now, my arms were numb from the shock. If he really used all his strength, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand more than twenty moves. After all, there's no difference between men and women."

Seeing that even such a strong man like Situ Jing felt inferior to him in the end, Song Yuan couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his pupils.

No wonder Wei Da boasted before, claiming that he was the second most famous general of Qin.

After all, he still has some skills!

Although General Wei's ability is slightly inferior, his own martial arts skills are definitely that of a powerful general!

When thinking about his future plans, Song Yuan couldn't help but reveal a bit of worry in his expression.

When I seize power in the future, if Wei Da is still by my side, I must find a way to drug this guy first!

Otherwise, with just such martial arts skills, no one under his command would be able to deal with him, and something unexpected might happen!

Thinking of the end, Song Yuan couldn't help but shook his head.

If it were really possible, he really didn't want to fight Wei Da with swords.

Even if he resorts to conspiracy and trickery in the end, he will never make things difficult for the other party.

However, there are some things that Song Yuan is determined to get, and now the arrow is on the string and must be shot!

"I hope that when that day comes, Brother Wei, you can still recognize me as your brother!"

Thinking of the end, Song Yuan sighed silently in his heart.

At this moment, there was a hint of melancholy on his face.

Eight out of ten things in the world are not satisfactory!

The two most important words in life are to let go.
