In the side hall, Jiang Ning stared at Yahu Mountain with burning eyes.
On it, draw a circle.
Now the total number of Golden Dragon Guards and ordinary soldiers is only 30,000, while on the rebel side, there are 50,000 people guarding the city alone. Can you imagine the gap?
Furthermore, the Golden Dragon Guard was suitable for infantry combat and was not suitable for siege at all. As a result, only 20,000 people were left.
Twenty thousand people are used to attack the city, and there is no doubt that they will lose their lives!
After a while, Jiang Ning slowly spoke, "Everyone, do you have any good plans?"
State Preceptor Liu Zhong, Prime Minister Yang Hui, six ministers, etc. were all present.
Liu Zhong was the first to speak and said: "Your Majesty, when Yahu City was built, it relied on complex terrain, so this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. To capture this city, it will take at least 60,000 people, but now
, our number is really too small!”
"I propose that we issue twelve golden orders to have Qingqi quickly return to our aid!"
"Also, after winning the first battle, the rebels led by Quan Boshan must not dare to go north!"
What Liu Zhong said might be a solution, but he didn't want the border troops to return for reinforcements.
Because that might get out of control.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said: "The border army has the defense task of the border army and it is not appropriate to mobilize it. Do you have any other ideas?"
After Liu Zhong's method was rejected, he felt very unhappy, his eyes were like hooks, cold!?
Yang Hui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan, I don't know whether to tell it or not!"
"explain!"
"Yes..." Yang Hui nodded and added: "Quan Boshan is just a famous gangster in Changshan County. He was able to recruit a group of subordinates because he robbed the rich and helped the poor, which is how he developed.
Quickly...if we give him some benefits, give him a promotion, and then eradicate him after he stabilizes?"
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
This method seems to be good, and casualties can be minimized.
To be honest, Jiang Ning is not interested in this method because it cannot bring out his bravery at all.
Jiang Ning was thoughtful and said: "Go on, tell me all the methods you think of!"
Zhang Sanjia, Secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, although Yahu Mountain resists danger and defends it, it has shortcomings. It is relatively far from the water source. As long as we cut off the water source, the people and rebels in the city will not be able to eat, so they will naturally not attack.
Self-destruction, but it’s a matter of time!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, what Zhang Shangshu said is absolutely true!"
In fact, Jiang Ning felt that all these methods were feasible, but he added: "One thing you may have overlooked is that the Northern Desert Mission is still in our capital. If we can't capture a single straggler within three days, it will spread to the Northern Desert people."
What will your ears think of our Wu Dynasty?"
"this……"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
There are many ways to eliminate rebels, but they are not applicable now.
"With the Northern Desert Mission here, isn't it time for us to show off our muscles?"
Jiang Ning said slowly.
Now, everyone truly understood what Jiang Ning meant.
Everyone sighed, as expected of the Emperor Wu, he thought very comprehensively!
"Your Majesty, you can annihilate a rebel army of 80,000 people in three days. This..." Everyone present felt it was impossible.
Jiang Ning himself thought it was impossible. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you don't give it a try, how do you know it won't work?"
"yes……"
Jiang Ning continued: "Be prepared with both hands, Prime Minister Yang, send someone to issue a surrender letter, and let Wu Hemo prepare to attack the city!"
"yes!"
No one present knew what Jiang Ning's specific plan was.
"This time I will personally destroy the rebels!"
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Don't say more!"
After the discussion, Jiang Ning, wearing a golden dragon armor and a golden sword on his waist, took away all the golden dragon guards who stayed in the imperial city.
Use the fastest speed to arrive at the place where Jinlongwei camped.
…
At the same time, Quan Boshan also received a letter of surrender from the court.
It was written by Yang Hui himself, and it was full of tempting conditions.
Quan Boshan's heartbeat quickened as he watched, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes.
After Wang Mazi noticed Quan Boshan's expression, he was a little curious and looked at it, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
Only then did Quan Boshan come to his senses and responded, "See for yourself!"
Wang Mazi took the letter and read it for a while, as if reading a book from heaven, "I can't recognize all the words in it, brother, please tell me!"
"The letter said that as long as I am willing to surrender, Emperor Wu will make me king and reward me with silver beauties, etc..." Quan Boshan said casually.
Wang Mazi was stunned for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, being able to send such a letter shows one thing, that is, they are afraid of us. Since they are afraid of us, there is no reason to surrender. What do you think?"
Quan Boshan frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and suddenly felt that what Wang Mazi said made sense, "Yes...since we are afraid of us, why should we bow our heads?"
"Come here, take off the messenger's head!"
"yes!"
The two armies faced each other and refused to kill the envoy, but Quan Boshan went in the opposite direction.
Just like that, the head of the messenger was hung on the city wall.
…
Jinlongwei temporary camp.
Jiang Ning, who is wearing golden armor, is sitting in the front seat. This is the first time he has led an army in this world. This feeling is so exciting for a man. Thinking about it makes him feel so happy. It’s so special.
How exciting!
Soon, the news that the messenger had been beheaded reached the ears of everyone present.
Yang Hui and his party did not dare to say anything, and they were all as silent as cicadas.
Just when everyone thought Jiang Ning would get angry, he suddenly threw his head back and laughed.
Your Majesty, what happened? Could it be that you were stimulated, so...
At first, Jiangning's army was thinking about how to attack the city. He neglected to consider the geographical environment, so the army had no suitable countermeasures. This was because he had been staring at the map for a long time and had a new method.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you..." Yang Hui whispered and asked softly.
Jiang Ning pointed to the map on the table and said, "Tonight, I will capture Yahu City!"
Everyone present was stunned, thinking it was impossible...
However, no one dared to attack Emperor Wu. They all looked at Jiang Ning with very cooperative eyes.
Jiang Ning could naturally see that the people in front of him did not believe in him, so he said lightly: "Who can tell me what the mountain opposite Yahu Mountain is?"
"Wolf...Langya Mountain?" Zhang Sanjia, Minister of War, asked.
"By the way..." Jiang Ning nodded, pointed at the map and said: "The straight-line distance between Langya Mountain and Yahu Mountain is two hundred steps, and the straight-line distance from Yahu City is three hundred steps!"
"That's true, but Your Majesty, what does this have to do with our siege?" Zhang Sanjia was confused and asked this question.
Jiang Ning said: "In terms of mountain strength, Langya Mountain is higher. If we use the method of descending from the sky, wouldn't it be easy to enter Yahu City?"
"Falling from... from the sky..." Everyone present was confused and felt it was unrealistic, "Your Majesty, our soldiers can't fly!"
