Chapter 763 Are you okay? Qin Chang'an, please don't come, then I will be fine!
North of Neihuang City.
Yan Dan looked at the devastated Neihuang City in the distance, his eyes filled with concentration.
Yan Dan led an army of 300,000 to attack for more than two months and took advantage of sneak attacks, but to this day he still has not been able to capture Neihuang City guarded by Meng Wu!
Although this was the normal rhythm of sieges during the Warring States Period, the continuous battle reports from the West made Yan Dan feel impatient.
A messenger rode his horse ten feet away from Yan Dan, then turned over and dismounted, trotted forward, raised his hands and shouted: "Commander."
"The Tunshi County Magistrate refused to surrender to me, Dayan "
"My commander, Gongsun Gao, asked the commander to allow our troops to attack Tunshi City!"
Yan Dan frowned: "Tunshi City is not willing to surrender to me, Dayan? !”
“Do you know why?”
Although Yan Wangxi's order has not yet been delivered, Yan Dan has made the same judgment as Yan Wangxi.
Take advantage of the opportunity of Zhao's demise to seize the territory that originally belonged to Zhao!
As a result, the first city failed.
The ordering soldier shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know!"
Another ordering soldier also followed, dismounted and handed over his hand: "Commander!"
"The magistrate of Yanghu County refused to surrender and said that King Zhao has not passed away, so Zhao ministers will only obey the orders of King Zhao!"
After Yan Dan was silent for a few seconds, he said with emotion: "This Yanghu County The county magistrate is a true righteous man!"
The deputy general Yan Badger said uncontrollably: "Prince, is there a possibility?"
"These county magistrates are unwilling to surrender just because. The conditions given by Dayan failed to meet their requirements."
Yan Dan asked in surprise: "Now that Zhao has been destroyed, if Tunshi City does not surrender to Dayan, will it surrender to Qin? ? ”
"Qin and Zhao are blood feuds, but Yan and Zhao are allies after all. Surrendering to Yanhe is far better than surrendering to Qin!"
After Yan Badger counted his breaths in silence, he said helplessly: "Qin and Zhao are certainly blood feuds. , but it doesn’t mean that these county magistrates have deep hatred!”
The Qin State is a blood feud in the eyes of the Zhao State.
But in the eyes of Zhao people, Qin and Zhao are at least equal and opponents at the same level.
However, the image of Yan State in the eyes of Zhao State is just that of a younger brother who has lost consecutive battles!
Which down-and-out big brother would be willing to be the little brother that he beat five times in three days?
So the Zhao people are unwilling to surrender to Qin, but the Zhao people are also unwilling to surrender to Yan!
When they had to choose a side, these old Zhao county magistrates either chose to obey Zhao Wangqian's order for the last time, or chose the side that offered more benefits, or chose the side that he could not defeat. That side.
Obviously, Yandan does not have these three options!
The admiration in Yan Dan's eyes turned into sneer: "They are a bunch of mediocre people!"
"Inform all the envoys and tell the magistrates of all counties that I, Dayan, will not hesitate to reward you with generous gifts and golden beauties."
"As long as he is capable, I will give him a lot of promotion!"
< br>Yan Dan's voice became a little louder: "The county magistrates of the four cities of Tunshi, Yanghu, Jipu, and Wei are all willing to give ten pounds of gold as a gift in advance."
"If you have anything, We will do our best to meet your needs.”
“But I hope these four cities will come under our army’s control as soon as possible!”
All the messengers raised their hands and said: "Wei!"
When the messengers dispersed, Yan Badger said thoughtfully: "Is the prince on guard against the Qin army in the west?"
< br>The four cities of Tunshi, Yanghu, Jipu, and Wei are not developed cities, and they do not have much money or food.
But these four cities formed the defensive chain on the east side of Handan City and faced Neihuang City across the river.
If Yan Dan can control these four cities, he can build a solid position northwest of Inner Yellow City!
Yan Dan nodded slowly: "Qin Chang'an Lord is the general of the world, and he is invincible."
"Even as powerful as Zhao, Qin Chang'an Lord broke through the capital and captured the king."
>"In the face of such a powerful enemy, it is never too cautious to be too careful!"
Yan Badger frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "The prince thinks that Lord Qin Chang'an will personally lead his troops eastward to capture the old Zhao city?"
“As the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, Lord Qin Changan should sit in Handan City to prevent the remaining Zhao forces from counterattacking after defeating Zhao!”
After the country is destroyed, things such as taking over the enemy's cities will basically be left to the various troops.
After Ying Chengyu destroyed Chu, he also assigned this task to various soldiers and horses.
This is not because the coach is lazy, but because the coach needs to stay in the most important position to ensure that the hard-won victory will not be in vain!
However, Yan Dan said firmly: "I know Lord Qin Chang'an."
"He will definitely come!"
Then Yan Dan sighed softly: "Gu and Lord Qin Chang'an are close friends. Gu knows very well how much Lord Qin Changan values Qin Wangzheng."
"This time Gu sent assassins to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, Qin Changan Lord He will definitely be angry!"
"He will definitely come to question Yu Gu personally, and even break up with him and fight against him!"
Although Gu and Qin Changan are close friends, Gu is Zeng Meng. Thanks to the kindness of Lord Qin Changan, I have not been able to drink and chat freely in this life.
When we meet again, we are already on the battlefield, and a rift has arisen!
How sad!
What a pity!
Just as Yan Dan was feeling emotional, a scout galloped over on horseback.
Without time to station their horses, the scouts raised their hands and shouted: "Report!"
"The Qin Army's great banner was found forty miles northwest!"
"Our troops have found out that the Qin army is about 150,000, and the rest of the army is still searching around!"
Yan Badger's eyes were astonished: "Qin Chang'an Lord is really here!"
>Yan Dan shook his head regretfully: "Even though Gu tried his best to overestimate Gu's friend, he still never expected that he would come so quickly!"
"I think Lord Qin Chang'an also knew that Gu was waiting here. Him!"
After pondering for a moment, Yan Dan said in a deep voice: "Pass the solitary order!"
"The troops stopped attacking the city, and the three troops, Captain Yan'an, Captain Yi Xun, and Captain Yan Hui, continued to besiege Neihuang City."
"Vice-General Yan Badger's troops formed an array south of the Yellow River (big river)." "Du. Wei Yanpan..."
"The rest of the ministries will cross the river north with the general and set up camp!"
"The envoys from each ministry must try their best to lobby the county magistrates. Don’t be shy with money, treasures, and rewards from high-ranking officials!”
——
At the same time.
Yanghu City.
Sun Jiwu, the magistrate of Yanghu County, stood on the west wall of Yanghu City, fully armored, with a pale face.
Ying Chengxuan stood outside the west city wall, smiling and clasping his hands: "I haven't seen you for many years, Magistrate Sun, you are fine!"
Sun Jiwu gritted his teeth and said, "If Lord Qin Chang'an had not come, then I would be fine!"
Unfortunately, Sun Jiwu did not dare to say this loudly.
The guards in Yanghu City did not dare to spread these words of Sun Jiwu!
Taking a deep breath, Sun Jiwu asked solemnly: "Stop gossiping!"
"What do you want, Lord Qin Changan, to come here?!"
Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice: "With the order of King Zhao, take over the defense of Yanghu City!"
As he spoke, Gua Fu rode his horse forward and raised high the order written by King Zhao Qian himself.
Sure enough, Sun Jiwu secretly thought, and shouted in a deep voice: "In our country, Zhao only has kings who died in battle, but no kings who were captured!"
"I, Yanghu City, do not recognize this order. !”
“Qin Chang’an has won consecutive battles, but our Yanghu City is also extremely strong.”
"If Lord Qin Chang'an insists on attacking our Yanghu City, our Yanghu City will also make Lord Qin Chang'an pay the price with blood!"
The example of the king of Chu dying and the state of Chu surviving is right in front of us, Sun Jiwu I sincerely hope to defend the territory of Zhao Kingdom and wait for the new king to ascend the throne and revive Zhao!
Ying Chengyu frowned slightly: "Are you really unwilling to obey King Zhao's order and surrender to our country, Great Qin?"
Sun Jiwu unsheathed his sword and shouted in a deep voice: "Fight to the death!"
>
More than a thousand defenders of Yanghu City shouted in unison: "Fight to the death!!!"
Ying Chengyu's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass this general's order."
"Siege the city!"
Ying Chengyu was so focused on rushing eastward that he had no time to pay attention to Yanghu City. He simply left more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Yanghu City to prevent the Yanghu defenders from disturbing Ying Chengyu's baggage line, and then left the city to Wang Jian to deal with.
However, when Sun Jiwu saw the Qin soldiers walking out of the military formation holding copper coins, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Swallowing with difficulty, Sun Jiwu struggled internally for several breaths before finally returning the sword to its sheath and shouting dejectedly: "I am willing to surrender!"
Ying Chengyu:? ? ?
Ying Chengyu turned around and looked back in confusion: "Yanghu City, are you willing to surrender?"
Sun Jiwu nodded bitterly: "Yanghu City, are you willing to surrender!"
Looking at the shocked eyes of the people around him, Sun Jiwu sighed softly: "The second and third sons don't want to taste their own urine anymore, right?"
Sun Jiwu didn't know if Ying Chengyu was really like those The deserter said that it can drive the earth dragon.
But Sun Jiwu really suffered from the severe drought that Ying Chengyu said!
Two years ago, Ying Chengyu surrounded Yanghu City with his troops. Then there was a severe drought. There was no water in Yanghu City. The defenders of Yanghu City finally had to drink urine to hold on!
Now we are seeing Ying Chengxuan trapped in the city again. What if Ying Chengxuan causes a severe drought in Yanghu City next time, what should the Yanghu City defenders do?
Are you going to live on your own urine again?
Even if Sun Jiwu could persevere with his firm belief, how could the county soldiers be willing to suffer such torture for a country that no longer exists!
"Dang clang~ clang~"
Weapons were thrown to the ground, and even the west gate of Yanghu City was opened by the gate guards.
Looking at the open city gate, Ying Chengyu didn't react for a while.
Didn’t this General’s lobbying fail?
Why did this general suddenly succeed in lobbying again?
How strange!
However, this general’s lobbying skills are indeed so trustworthy!
Sun Jiwu walked out of the city gate with complicated eyes and bowed his hands to Ying Chengyu: "Yanghu City, welcome to Lord Chang'an!"
Ying Chengyu smiled and handed over his hands: "Thank you, Magistrate Sun. ! ”
“Now is the time for Da Qin to employ people. Magistrate Sun has taken the initiative to join Da Qin, and Da Qin will definitely use him in a more important way!”
Sun Jiwu forced a smile: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"
As long as I can never see you in this life, I will be satisfied!
Seeing Sun Jiwu's reluctant expression, Ying Chengyu did not show any politeness and directly ordered: "All our officers and men are exhausted."
"Please ask Magistrate Sun to open a grain depot to supply our army. Take the food."
Sun Jiwu immediately handed over: "This is natural."
Ying Chengyu asked again: "Does Magistrate Sun know the military situation in Neihuang direction?"
Sun Jiwu said without hesitation: "The Yan army is still attacking Neihuang City, and Neihuang City is still holding on."
>
"According to what I know... Sun Mou, the commander-in-chief of the Yan army is Prince Dan of Yan, who is currently lobbying for the cities of Zhao to come under the rule of the Yan state."
Ying Chengyu's eyes flashed slightly. : "Is this happening?!"
"The shamelessness of Yan State is truly unimaginable to me!"
I, the Qin Dynasty, conquered and destroyed the country, but you, the Yan State, came out to steal the territory without saying a word?
This is the thief!
Yan and Zhao were originally allies, but now that Zhao has perished, Yan does not think about reviving Zhao, but is it the first to plunder Yan's territory?
This is unjust!
Sun Jiwu nodded and said: "It is true."
"The State of Yan also lobbied Sun."
Ying Chengqiao smiled and asked: "Then why did County Magistrate Sun not vote for Yan but for my country, Great Qin?"
Sun Jiwu subconsciously revealed A bit disdainful: "The Yan Kingdom is not worthy."
"The King of Yan is even less worthy!"
Ying Chengyu laughed heartily: "What an unworthy one!"
