(Explain again, the Wang Cheng who appeared when Zhang Yang was sweeping the outer city of Pingzhou should be changed to Wang De. I wonder if you still remember this person. This is my oversight. Of course, there is no reunion between Wang Cheng and Ji Zhao.

Cooperation, so some things there should be modified, but because it is a VIP chapter, it is difficult to modify, so I also

I don’t want to cause trouble, so I will explain it again here. It’s good for everyone to know, so don’t be surprised. By the way, I am recommending a book to a friend: "The Romance of Officials and Businessmen", the author is "Looking forward to the rise", ISBN 2641125, about urban bureaucracy, if you are interested

You can check it out; finally, these word counts are of course not included in the charge, haha~)

Wang Cheng stood outside Jinyang City, high-spirited in the temporary military camp of Bingzhou, and felt filled with emotions again.

To be honest, Wang Cheng thought about committing "crimes" and doing meritorious service, but he never thought that Marquis Wen would suddenly give him such great power one day, and the entire 10,000-strong army was handed over to him.

There is still a certain gap between Gao Shun's more than 20,000 people, but for him, this

The number is definitely a lot, not to mention that the number of troops and horses that Lu Bu can directly control now does not exceed 60,000. Those in Wuyuan County had to wait until they got there to receive it from Chen Gong, and they took out six points at once.

It is a great trust to entrust one of them to him.

From this moment on, Wang Chengcheng swore from the bottom of his heart that in order to live up to Marquis Wen's trust, he would never let him down this time. Unknowingly, Lu Bu had once again gained the loyalty of a capable general.

At this time, Wang Cheng covered his eyebrows with his hands and looked at the big city in front of him from here. This was the first time he had looked like this in the past few days.

Jinyang is the largest city in Taiyuan County. In fact, it is also one of the best in the entire Bingzhou. After all, it was also the prefecture of Bingzhou. From the perspective of city construction, this city is not comparable to a small city like Pingzhou. Not only does it have a road outside

The moat is more than two feet wide and surrounds the defense, and the lowest side of the four walls is no less than three feet high. For Wang Cheng and others, it is not easy to cross the moat in the first place, let alone such a high wall.

As stated in the news Zhang Yang received, most of Wang Cheng's troops are cavalry. Wang Cheng has no intention of hiding this. It is true that cavalry are not good at attacking cities. What's more, they have light cavalry.

They were never in a hurry and didn't bring any siege equipment. But they didn't come here for the purpose of siege.

However, since the point was to besieged for reinforcements, if the point was not in danger, it would be difficult to attract enough significant reinforcements. Therefore, although Wang Cheng did not attack the city directly, he used other means to achieve siege.

General effect.

For example, they first controlled the city gates on all sides of Jinyang, forcing the guard Yang Chou to close the gates and prohibit entry and exit. Then they spread rumors in the city through various channels, or it cannot be said that they were all rumors. At least they surrounded them with a large army.

Living in a city is a real place.

Originally, everyone could see that the garrison in the city had been reduced, but now 10,000 troops were approaching the city. Even if there was no movement to attack the city, it would frighten them who lacked a sense of security. The panic of these people also affected those people.

The defenders, after all, are people from Jinyang City, so they are naturally more likely to be fettered by family ties, and they are more demanding than ordinary people.

To learn more about the inside story, I learned that their envoy Zhang Yang had already mobilized most of the troops in the county. The remaining garrison in the entire county was less than the average number of troops besieged outside the city, so they suffered

The pressure will be greater, but after all, they are trained soldiers and can restrain themselves to some extent. However, it is obvious that a pessimism has begun to pervade the military.

This is just one of them. It is a psychological tactic. On the other hand, after Wang Cheng set up camp with the army, he ordered people to search for various materials nearby and made a gesture of making siege equipment. As expected, this caused the city to

The defenders above were nervous for a while.

Until he finally waited for the two local reinforcements from Taiyuan County who were approaching, and annihilated them by setting up ambushes and other means. After transporting the corpses to Jinyang City, some prisoners also made them kneel outside Jinyang City, using

So cruel

The cool facts told the defenders in the city about their critical situation, and then naturally they followed up with a round of deceptive and mind-attacking techniques, and the effect of this was also very obvious. The people in Jinyang City have been in panic and low morale for the past few days, which is the best proof.

The current guard of Jinyang City is Zhang Yang's confidant general Yang Chou. Jinyang's status is extremely important. If this big gamble is the first priority in Zhang Yang's heart, then the safety of Jinyang is the second. He will not leave it to others.

Don't worry, from a comprehensive perspective on ability, trust and trust, he only has Yang Chou who suits his wishes.

Yang Chou is a big man with a height of seven feet nine and wields a halberd weighing more than thirty kilograms. He is at the top of Jinyang City, looking at the military camp outside the city with a frown on his face.

Although on the first day when the unfamiliar-faced leader of the other party called for battle, he cursed and laughed at the other party, in fact, the worry in his heart was always there. It was just an argument and it was nothing more than a fierce look but a lack of confidence.

.

Regarding Zhang Yang's expedition at this time, he was also among those who opposed it, not only from the disadvantage of the march, but also from their internal perspective.

Zhang Yang can only be said to have a general understanding of leading troops in war, but he is unique in governing local areas. He was able to fight against Lu Bu and Zhang Liao in the Bingzhou army. It is not so much that he has a group of confidants under him, but that he gave Ding Yuan

The help is not small, and he was entrusted with important tasks for the sake of balance. But since the first year of Chuping, Hulao

Since returning from the defeat in the War of 1999, Zhang Yang has ignored many government affairs under his rule and left it to officials, large and small, to handle. Although major matters still need to be reported to him and decided by him, there are many times when his subordinates are actually unsure of many things.

However, he felt that he was not qualified enough to present the idea to Zhang Yang for approval, and the hidden danger was buried.

Today's Taiyuan officialdom actually has signs of chaos. It was fine when Zhang Yang was still in charge, but now that he is gone, all the ghosts and monsters have come out. Compared with the enemy troops outside the city, this is what Yang Chou is most worried about.

problem.

No matter how solid a fortress is, it is often broken from within. The most typical example is during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The main reason why powerful countries like Qi, Chu, and Zhao were defeated was internal, let alone Yang Chou.

Now it can even be felt that the morale of the defenders in the city is somewhat unstable. This is naturally the result of Wang Cheng's continuous attack strategy.

It can be said that under the internal and external troubles, Yang Chou is so anxious that his hair is almost turning gray. Now he can only pray that Zhang Yang will come back soon, or else he can send reinforcements all the way back. As long as there are reinforcements, the soldiers and civilians in the city will see hope and the people's hearts will be lifted.

Morale will naturally return gradually, and those ghosts and monsters will stop their actions, and Jinyang will regain peace.

So he stopped paying attention to the movements on the distant horizon day after day, hoping that one day he would see the surging army rushing over, carrying the banner of Zhang Yangjun.

It's a pity that he waited day after day, and five days after he sent out the battle report, he still didn't see any reinforcements, and no news even came through.

Originally, he had always thought that reinforcements would come back to protect the soldiers guarding the city, but at this time, even he couldn't help but feel shaken in his heart. Has the envoy already given up on us, or is there someone else... He couldn't imagine it, but right there
