Chapter 171: The Great Change in Yangzhai City

"Prime Minister, we have learned that Pei Gong has arrived at Yangdi City with the Middle Route Army." In the East Route Army camp, the deputy general reported respectfully. Since the death of Han Wangcheng, although Zhang Liang has always regarded himself as prime minister, the generals have always regarded him as prime minister.

He was treated like a lord.

Zhang Liang looked at the deputy general and spoke again: "Vice General Li, order the entire army to speed up the march and capture Yuanling and Kunyang within two days. Our army needs to join Pei Gong as soon as possible. Yangzhai City is not comparable to other cities."

Vice General Li immediately went down to make arrangements, while Zhang Liang had a solemn expression. Logically speaking, he should be happy if he captured Yingchuan County this time, but he was very uneasy in his heart. King Cheng of Han died, so where would the people of Han go?

He also has no idea. The reason why he continues to fight against Qin now is for the sake of the people of Korea. However, the people cannot live without a monarch, otherwise even if they conquer Korea, they will become a target in the eyes of Xiang Liang and others.

"Hey..." He sighed. He also knew that the Korean soldiers now regarded him as their lord, but Zhang Liang's heart did not think so. What he had learned was only to save the people from fire and water, not to save the people in his own hands.

right.

So he was also hesitant.

Compared with the Central Route Army and the East Route Army, the West Route Army led by Han Xin had the heaviest task. It had to conquer ten cities along the way to return to Yangdi. However, under its command were 6,000 elite Pei troops, all of whom were Yang Di.

The troops Lin brought from Peixian County also included generals such as Li Ba and Cao Shen. Although the task was heavy, they did not encounter any resistance. Anyone who refused to surrender their weapons and surrender to the city died under the swords of Li Ba and others.

.

Looking at the distant sky, Han's confidence became even more determined. He immediately ordered the army to continue moving forward and must reach Yangdi in the shortest possible time. Then the entire army was like a tiger, galloping on the mountain road in the wilderness.

Just as Zhang Liang and Han Xin were speeding up their march, the county guard in Yangdi City finally couldn't sit still and led his troops out of the city for a sneak attack. Fortunately, Chen Sheng was well prepared and did not let the opponent succeed. Chen Sheng wanted to lead his troops in pursuit, but the county guard couldn't help it.

Like a loach, it can escape faster than anyone else. After this battle, Yangdi City was immediately put under martial law. The county guard did not dare to leave the city again.

After a short handover, the morale of the defenders dropped sharply, which was very detrimental to the future defense of the city. However, the county guard had no better way and abandoned the city and fled. It was not that he had not thought about it. But now the entire Yingchuan County has been occupied by three people.

The army invaded. He had no place to escape. If he surrendered, he was from Qin and had persecuted many people. Surrendering would be a dead end.

Tangled, extremely tangled, the governor had one head and two big heads, his heart was trembling, he didn't know why.

Three days passed peacefully outside Yangdi City. Zhang Liang's East Route Army finally arrived. Two days later, Han Xin also arrived with his soldiers. By now, the three armies had surrounded Yangdi, and the county guard had no chance of escaping.

.The Qin army on the city tower finally couldn't help but panic when they saw the strong Pei-Kan coalition forces outside the city.

Seeing this situation, the county guard immediately killed several people to stabilize the morale of the army. However, what he did completely chilled the defenders. Although the soldiers agreed on the surface, they were still uneasy in their hearts. Yangzhai City also became cool, and the originally bustling streets

There was no one around. When the people learned that there was a fierce battle today, they hid in their homes and did not dare to come out. They were worried that the county governor would recruit them to help defend the city. Everyone was on tenterhooks, and the people's hearts were floating.

In Yang Lin's tent, Zhang Liang and Han Xin sat down together. After nearly a month of fighting, they had a rare break. At this time, Yang Lin smiled and said: "Now only Yangzhai City is left in Yingchuan County, but the county guard has already

It’s a frightened bird, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

"What Pei Gong said is absolutely true. Now we have three armies besieging the city, and the morale of all the troops is high. In my opinion, why not attack the city at Mao tomorrow?" Zhang Liang slightly arched his hands and said with full confidence.

Hearing this, Han Xin respectfully agreed: "My lord, the general also has this intention. The three thousand defenders of Yangzhai City have already lost their morale. It will be effortless to attack the city now."

"Forget it!" Yang Lin saw that Zhang Liang and Han Xin had made up their minds, so he agreed and said, "Then we will send out troops tomorrow." Then he wrote a letter of persuasion to surrender on the desk, handed it to Li Ba, and ordered:

"Hurry up and shoot this message into the city. If the governor can surrender to the city for the sake of the three thousand soldiers, our army will be spared from fighting tomorrow."

"Lord, I think this is a redundant move. Since you have decided to attack the city tomorrow, why would you want to persuade him to surrender?" Li Ba took the surrender letter carelessly and complained with a groan.

Zhang Liang smiled. He knew Yang Lin's thoughts well and couldn't help but admired: "Pei Gong is a benevolent and righteous man. If he can be persuaded to surrender, he can naturally take down Yangzhai without a single soldier or a drop of blood. General Li

, you go and do it quickly, there is just one night left for the county governor to think about it and make a decision."

……………………………………………………

On the tower of Yangzhai City, Lieutenant Qin Ming was leading his troops on inspection. Suddenly, a strong man with a beard came up on horseback and shouted, and then an arrow shot into the city tower. When the strong man saw this, he immediately turned around and rode away. Qin

Ming didn't have time to think too much, so he immediately ordered people to fetch the arrows, and then took down the surrender letter from them.

He pushed aside the personal guards around him and opened the letter secretly. It didn't matter. He looked pale, top-heavy, and almost fainted to the ground. He also murmured to himself: "Are we finally going to attack the city?"

As a county lieutenant, he knew the thoughts of the county guard very well, and naturally knew that the county guard would not surrender to the city. However, if he continued to follow the county guard's wishes, the three thousand Qin troops in the city would be buried with him. Qin Ming

Feeling anxious in his heart, he finally got to sit in the position of county captain. He was not willing to follow the county guard and die in battle here.

Looking at the darkening sky, he knew that he only had one night left. Without delay, he immediately led his guards back to the prefect's mansion, and then summoned his trusted generals. Seeing everyone arriving, Qin Ming spread out the letter of persuasion to surrender,

He said: "This is a letter written by Pei Gong himself to persuade him to surrender. The letter says very clearly that if we don't surrender, tomorrow the city will be destroyed and people will die."

"Commander Lieutenant, what should we do?" After hearing this, the generals were in chaos. It was better to die than to live. There must be people who are loyal, brave and fierce, and there must be people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Qin Ming glanced at everyone fiercely and said word by word: "Do you want to die or live?"

"Of course I want to survive. If you have any ideas, please tell me quickly."

"Yes, brothers, all listen to you, Lieutenant. If Pei's army attacks the city, who will survive?"
