Rest? If I rest any longer, I'll damn well lose my kingdom.

At this moment, Zhao Dongan was in an extreme state of agitation, kicking the old doctor who rushed towards him.

Fortunately, he was physically weak and the kick lacked strength causing the old doctor to stumble but not suffer any injuries.

Dong Nan didn't he have time to care about him and shouted loudly to the guards outside come summon the civil and military officials for a meeting.

Chapter 269 Donan's response in the court of the great Zhao there were actually very few civil and military officials.

It had been mentioned before that Zhao Donan strategists were quite weak, basically lacking any capable figures.

Therefore, in the court of the great Joe, military generals obviously held the dominant position.

After suffering losses with generals, Jia, Jeang, Xiuin, and Luhu.

The losses were undoubtedly heavy for Zhao Dong Nan.

He could clearly feel that the opponent was demonstrating their strength towards him, and no matter what, he had to do something.

Zhao Dongan was inherently a rather arrogant person.

After doing as he pleased in his own world, he directly established the great Zhao and became emperor.

Subsequently, his arrogant character became more pronounced.

Therefore, although he called for civil and military officials to discuss matters, it usually devolved into him issuing orders alone.

It was proven that even in such circumstances based on Zhao Dongan's modern mindset and combined with the experience of the players, many of his decisions were still quite correct.

However, this fact undoubtedly further fueled his arrogance.

Over time, the process of the officials meetings transformed into a routine where everyone listened to Joe Donan's orders, then collectively shouted, "Your majesty is wise," and retreated to handle their own affairs.

At this moment, a huge map was spread out before everyone.

Zhao Dongan pointed to the positions of Dongjing City and Sun-ha City on the eastern border and spoke in a deep voice.

Just yesterday, Dong Jing City and Sun-ha City had been breached by enemy forces and General Jeang Xiuan and General Lu, who had died in battle.

Upon hearing the news, the officials in the Grand Hall of the Great Zhao gasped in surprise.

Their pretentious reactions made the corners of Zhao Dong Nan's eyes twitch as it was already evening and the news about Dong Jing city and Sa city being breached had circulated widely during the day.

It was impossible for them not to know not want to argue with these officials.

Zhao Donin quickly pointed to the last corner of the eastern iron triangle namely Songhan city.

Songha city was an important hub connecting the iron triangle and the rear city of Shang Yuan.

The enemy had successfully captured Dongjing City and Suna City, which prevented the troops from Shang Yuan City from providing support through Suna City, leaving Songhan City isolated and helpless.

Now, to reach Song City, they could only bypass from the other side, which would increase the distance by more than four times.

Zhao Dong Nan spoke while the officials listened.

In a usual meeting of officials began.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the general's mansion of Son City, after counting the supplies in the city's armory, Lu Gi directly mobilized 500 soldiers to start transporting these supplies back.

In any case, they would first transfer them to Dong Jing City and then together with the supplies from Dong Jing City to Shang Yuan City.

Although there were no rare resources that could move him, the leather armor, weapons, and grain were still useful.

By the way, the day after Luo Ji captured Sona City, the two brothers, Guo Ja and Guo Jan, originally stationed in Shang Yuan City to stabilize the rear, also brought a portion of their troops to Dong Jing City with Zhao E, the informed person present.

Luo Gi was certainly aware of the current situation.

After all, when he faced the choice between Suna City and Song City earlier, he did not have a clear understanding of the overall situation on the other side.

So it was impossible for him to make any intricate arrangements.

Choosing Sona City was Zhao Yi's suggestion.

It turned out that this step was correct.

For the rear city of Shang Yuan to support Songhan City, it had to go through Sona City, which served as the central hub.

Zho Yi's move effectively separated Songhan City on the other side from the territory of the Great Joe.

According to Zhao Ei, if reinforcements wanted to arrive from the other side, it would take at least 5 days or more.

And the most troublesome part was that they would have to bypass the mountainous area of Sanghan.

As Song Han city was a mountain city located at the foot of Songhan.

If everything went smoothly, Lu Gi originally planned to rest for 2 days and then directly send troops to Son City to capture the city which had basically been cut off from its rear.

In doing so, the entire Eastern Iron Triangle that Zhao Dongan had arranged would be completely seized by him.

However, Zhao Dong the rear had clearly realized this.

On the third day of the all-out war, he had decisively gathered his forces in Shang Yuan city and was unable to sit idle anymore.

Directly attacking the Suna city occupied by Lu Gi, listening to the attack horns outside the city, Lu Gi, wearing the Chilean helmet and Minguang armor, quickly ascended the west wall of Sa City.

With the visibility provided by his binoculars, he could see the approaching army clearly from a distance.

The total strength was estimated to be around 2,000, and the true configuration was quite classic for a siege.

However, this should not behan's full strength, as this all-out war he initiated was extremely sudden.

Such occurrences were rare in the bronze tier.

It was possible that this was Dong Nan's first time provoked into an all-out war.

The larger the army, the slower the assembly speed and the slower the movement speed.

This 2,000 troops were likely hastily drawn from the garrison forces of several nearby cities in Shang Yuan City.

As for why the opponent was so eager to launch a siege, Zhao, what do you think? Remembering that he had an extraordinary strategist by his side, Lu Gi casually asked.

He had a basic understanding of Zhao Dongan's actions, but he wanted to see how far this newly recruited strategist had come, testing him a bit.

Luog was increasingly focused on the actual performance of his subordinates, considering their attribute panels merely as references, making them secondary.

Take Lu Kai for example.

He was just a good general with a maximum intelligence limit of four stars.

Yet, he was very reliable in his work, acting prudently with solid reasoning and decisiveness.

He had clearly become one of the generals Lu G trusted and valued greatly.

By the way, over the past 2 days, perhaps due to Lu G fulfilling his promise to treat the surrendered soldiers equally and not plundering or disturbing the civilians in the city.

Or maybe because Lu Gi had given him military power and trust, Zhaoi's loyalty towards him had unexpectedly risen quickly, now reaching 77 points.

Their emperor of the great Zhao Zhao Dong Nan basically did not like to listen to others opinions.

In Lu G's words, this was a kind of player disease which could also be understood as the arrogance of a player.

The general thinking was, I am a player, having seen all kinds of tricks.

My thoughts surpass you natives by millions of years.

Is there any need to listen to you NPC natives babbling? This directly led to the personalities of many generals under him being influenced by Zhao Dongan.

Even when Zhao e was originally serving as a centurion, he hardly had the opportunity to voice his opinions on military matters.

Lu G's sudden inquiry for his opinion made him feel unexpectedly honored and his loyalty immediately rose to 80 points.

Chapter 270 deployment this times examination.

Lu G might have just asked casually, but Zhao E became serious all of a sudden.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly spoke up.

Chief, I believe the enemy's purpose in this siege should be twofold.

Go on, Lu Gi replied with a non-committal expression.

Zhao managed to keep his composure.

After all, he had been a centurion and had experienced battle, so he had some level of steadiness.

The first purpose should be to test the troop deployment and the strength of the garrison at Sona City as an important hub connecting the iron triangle.

If they can take it directly, that would be the best.

If not, at least confirming the intelligence will be beneficial for the subsequent siege.

Having said that, Zhao he took a slight breath and continued.

The second purpose should be to prevent us from easily capturing songs.

Once sanghan city falls, we will have no worries behind us and can directly send troops towards Shang Yuan city after a slight adjustment.

This is obviously something Dong and does not want to see.

So his intention is to inform us that his army has already pressed forward.

If we dare to send troops to attack Sanity will inevitably fall to him, he wants to restrain us through this method.

After finishing, Zhao Yi<unk>s gaze fell on Lu Gi's face as if seeking affirmation or perhaps something else.

Feeling this gaze, Lu Gi tilted his head.

Is there more? Zhao Yi<unk>s expression froze for a moment.

But Lu Gi's demeanor and tone made him realize that his thoughts were not comprehensive enough.

Thinking of this, Zhao E fell into contemplation again.

Seeing this, Lu Gi chuckled softly and let him think.

It wasn't that Zhao he was foolish but rather that he had not yet detached himself from his previous identity and situation.

As an old saying goes, those not in position should not plot politics.

Zhao he had originally been a small soldier and his highest military rank had only reached centurion.

Regardless of whether he was a small soldier or a centurion, given his previous circumstances, he had no room to get involved in matters of marching, fighting, and tactical deployment.

Over time, he naturally stopped thinking about such things.

What Luog was doing now was encouraging him to think.

A person in the midst of war, sitting in a command position, needs to have a broad view of the overall situation.
