Chapter 247: A Brief Conversation between the Three People in Pofei City
They were able to receive the news, and similarly, the Pei family army also received the news.

"Well done, you are worthy of being my elder brother. You can cause chaos in Southern Tang without moving a single soldier. Tell the soldiers that before dawn tomorrow, I want to see the flag of Da Sui planted on the gate tower of Feicheng!"

"Yes, General!"

After receiving the order, Wang Hong quickly went to the front line. Pei Zimiao, who was leading his troops to attack in waves, had a serious look on his face. His armor was stained with blood, and his wrists were covered with blood marks left by the sword. His warhorse was neighing, but he showed no sign of retreat.

After hearing the news, he immediately raised his arms and shouted.

"Soldiers, the young marshal has already defeated the Southern Tang reinforcements. No one can come to support Feicheng anymore. Charge! Feicheng will eventually belong to Dasui!"

Without reinforcements, it would be the last struggle of a crippled beast.

Even if your hands and feet are weak and your eyes are a little dazed, you still have to rush forward with all your might, because victory is right in front of you.

In the dark night, fires raged everywhere.

The entire Fei City was as bright as day, with casualties continuing. But when the Pei army broke through the city gate, the defenders inside were no longer able to struggle.

Some who felt guilty towards Southern Tang committed suicide immediately.

Some refused to give up and continued to fight the enemy, but in the end they died tragically at the hands of the sword.

More of them threw away their weapons and armor, knelt down, waiting to be captured.

"We will not kill those who surrender their weapons, and we will not kill those who return home. But those who rashly resist will be killed without mercy!"

All the Pei family soldiers who rushed into the city had been shouting this sentence, so the chaos was concentrated in the first hour after entering the city. When the sky gradually brightened, the Fei City, which they had attacked for nearly twenty days, was finally captured!
"The entire army will rest for three days, and then continue the attack three days later. Within half a month, we will reach the outskirts of Wengcheng!"

"understand!"

Now is the time to make a concerted effort, and the most difficult cities of Xuncheng and Feicheng are already under their jurisdiction. It can be said that it will be easy to face the next cities.

Some soldiers were even imagining what would happen if they killed the King of Southern Tang. The more they talked about it, the more excited they became. So even though they took a rest, no one relaxed.

Before attacking Southern Tang, Pei Zisu and King of Han made a lot of preparations.

It is easy to capture a city, but to make it surrender completely, only civil governance can be achieved. Therefore, in recent years, Hanzhou seemed to be very saturated with officials, but this time several hundred people were mobilized. Every time a city was captured, 20,000 troops were allocated, and a large number of officials from top to bottom were replaced.

Although it has only been over a month, as far as the current situation is concerned, no major leaks have occurred.

So it's the same in Feicheng.

During these days, the soldiers had a good rest, but Pei Ziyao was still dividing the tasks. Fortunately, her ability was obvious to all, so all the officials were submissive to her. After these battles, the prestige of the Pei family brother and sister reached an unprecedented height.

This was the result Pei Zisu wanted, so he remained "invisible" during this battle.

That night, several people had settled down in the home of the mayor of Fei City. The mayor was a very wealthy man, so his house was naturally luxurious.

There would be no problem even if all the generals of the Pei family army moved in.

In the pavilion, the wind blew the moon without leaving any trace. "It's really fast, it's already February, I don't know if we can make it to my sister-in-law's brother's wedding!"

It is a rare opportunity for the brother and sister to sit here and talk.

"Why? You want to get married too? Then after the war is over, I will talk to my brother and sister-in-law and ask them to choose a good marriage for you, how about that?"

"Don't be so funny. Your sister doesn't worry about marriage, so why should I worry about it? I'll think about it when I marry you off."

"Getting married is not as comfortable as training. Look at my aunt. After she married my uncle, she kept giving birth to four children, big and small. When they were young, she had to take care of them. When they got older, she had to worry about getting married and having children. Now she is focusing all her attention on her granddaughter. She has no freedom at all. I don't want to live like this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard laughter coming from outside.

"Okay, you're making up stories about your mother behind her back. I'll definitely report her when I return to Xijing City. Just wait for your humiliation, female general!"

The person who spoke was Wang Hong. He had just returned from where the soldiers were stationed and was now free, so when he heard these words when passing by the pavilion, of course he wanted to join in the fun.

Pei Ziyao was not afraid and replied with a smile.

"What a coincidence! It was my aunt who complained to me. She told me to have more fun for a few more years and wait until I meet the perfect match that I can't take my eyes off. Now, no one can stop me from moving forward."

When he heard the word "good fate", Wang Hong smiled.

This cousin whom he had seen grow up was older, but her mind was still as innocent as ever. There had been several times when he had had other thoughts about her, but now, he truly submitted to her abilities.

If I can protect her for the rest of her life and let her enjoy this freedom, then my trip will not be in vain.

So he hid his thoughts deep inside his mind, and no one in this world knew what was in his heart.

Pei Zimiao handed over a wine cup, and the three of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

"At our current speed, it will only take us half a month to reach Wengcheng. However, there is still some distance between Wengcheng and the capital. Although we are not afraid of those cities, the capital must be heavily guarded and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although we have made sufficient preparations this time, the soldiers' food, grass, herbs, and various military supplies will be consumed quickly. If the battle line is stretched too long, it will not be good for us!"

Wang Hong analyzed these carefully, and the brother and sister listened attentively.

Although they have been using the supplies from Southern Tang, generally speaking they are definitely not as useful as what they have prepared themselves, so this is acceptable for small cities, but they still have to use their own people to deal with large cities.

They had calculated carefully before, and it would take at most four months. Any longer than that and the Pei army would not be able to bear the burden. The most important thing was that after April, the temperature in Southern Tang would begin to rise sharply, and there would be all kinds of casualties in the siege. If the wounds became inflamed and the corpses were not properly handled, some kind of corpse plague or epidemic would occur. That would be terrible.

So this is why Pei Zisu chose to take action in winter.

"Don't worry, with big brother here, Nan Tang won't last until April. Now it's only been over a month, haven't we already taken over four cities?"

Pei Ziyao's words actually stabilized the morale of the troops.

Indeed, although Pei Zisu was not with them, everything he did made everyone feel at ease. Therefore, after drinking the strong liquor, everyone waited for the arrival of another dawn with hope.

At that time, they will continue to set off towards the designated city!
