On the seventh day after being escorted into the city, Wu Qian saw a message with only half of the line remaining: This city will be broken within seven days.
Behind him are old cases waiting to be solved, and in front of him are cavalry besieging the city. The city is short of food, medicine, and people's hearts are shaken. The officials in the city just want to save their lives, and the powerful are secretly colluding with the enemy. The people may not even be able to wait for rice soup tomorrow morning.
It just so happened that Wu Qian had an AI in his mind that was gradually malfunctioning.
It can proofread account books, deduce military information, and expose enemy plans, but it says less and less each time. Wu Qian could only rely on incomplete hints to figure out the enemy's real killing move step by step between Song paper, rope marks, arrow paths, medicine sheds and people's hearts.
At first, everyone just thought he was a scholar wearing a sin.
Later, he managed food, checked accounts, set up defenses, and defended the city, dragging a city that must be destroyed until dawn.
Someone asked him why he should extend the life of the Song Dynasty.
Wu Qian looked at the firelight under the city wall and only answered:
"The people in this city haven't given up yet."
