Although the other party called him General Wei, not the emperor, Wei Daoer didn't care at all at this time. He was like a drowning person suddenly grabbed a piece of wood. His face became a little convulsed due to excitement, and the scar also appeared.
It was particularly hideous. The Sui army actually wanted to negotiate with him.
He tried his best to restrain his inner excitement and bowed to Liu Chongyun and said, "Liu Shaoqing, please sit down!"
Liu Chongyun sat down, and Wei Daoer also sat down. He took a deep breath and said, "Liu Shaoqing, please tell me! What are the conditions for His Highness of the King of Chu?"
Wei Daoer knew in his heart that Yang Yuanqing's conditions must be very harsh, and whether he could accept it was still the same thing, but at least he had a glimmer of hope, Wei Daoer stared at Liu Chongyun nervously.
Liu Chongyun laughed slowly and said: "This time we advanced eastward, in fact, to attack Luo Yi in Youzhou, so we chose to walk on Feihu Road. We have taken Feihu County and are in the city of Yi County. I believe General Wei will also
I know, our condition is that our army hopes that your army will give up Shanggu County, so we can temporarily stop attacking Hengshan County."
Wei Daoer's heart suddenly became hung. The other party's conditions were indeed harsh. He actually gave up Shanggu County. He had only two counties in total. After giving up Shanggu County, he only had Hengshan County, which was a bit too much.
But Wei Daoer also knew that it was imperative for the other party to march into Hebei. Either the other party would capture Shanggu County or he would give up Shanggu County. There was indeed no third way to go. But not long ago, Dou Jiande sent an envoy to tell him that he would
He must guard Shanggu County and Hengshan County. He now promised to give up Shanggu County. How could he explain to Dou Jiande?
Wei Daoer paced back and forth in the palace with his hands behind his back. He was really unsure of his mind. In fact, he still had a ray of Xiying, that is, Dou Jiande came to help him. If he agreed to the conditions of the Sui army, then Dou Jiande's hope of aid was completely said.
Lost.
At this time, a guard hurried into the hall and came to Wei Daoer and whispered: "King, urgent news has been heard from Tumen Pass. Thousands of Sui army vanguards have arrived at Tumen Pass through Jingxing. They are currently in line with
Our defenders confronted each other at Tumen Pass.”
This unexpected news made Wei Daoer both startled and angry, and scolded Liu Chongyun angrily: "Didn't you say you won't attack Hengshan County? But your army has passed Jingxing and reached Tumen Pass, how do you explain!"
Liu Chongyun said calmly: "I said that as long as you give up Shanggu County, we can temporarily stop attacking Hengshan County, but now General Wei has not ordered Shanggu County, so Sui army will certainly not stop using troops. General Wei
Do you understand?"
Wei Daoer stared at Liu Chongyun fiercely. Of course, he understood that the Sui army was at Tumen Pass, just to cooperate with the Sui official in front of him to put pressure on him. He felt extremely hatred. After a while, he said angrily: "If I give up Shanggu County,
Then can the Sui army withdraw from Jingxing?"
Liu Chongyun smiled slightly, "We can retreat and then Xingdizun will be in the Hedong territory."
Wei Daoer had no choice but to guard the section from Jingxing Pass to Tumen Pass. In fact, there is no difference between retreating and not retreating. It was just a gesture made by the Sui army. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let me consider it,
Reply to Liu Shaoqing tomorrow morning at the latest."
Yi County, 10,000 Sui troops stationed in the North City, and another 2,000 Sui troops guarded the Yishui River to protect the smooth transportation of food and grass. Qin Qiong had already obtained Yang Yuanqing's letter and knew that Yang Yuanqing was using political to oppress Wei Daoer's army.
Withdrew from Shanggu County, the army attacked and planned, and the army was the best without fighting. Qin Qiong was also an experienced general. He did not resist at all, but actively cooperated with Yang Yuanqing to put political pressure on the enemy. He stationed his troops in Beicheng
In addition, leave the south city for the troops in the city to evacuate...
The world is covered with snow outside the north city. The fields are covered with snow one foot deep. In a field about two miles away from the city wall, the Sui army has cleared out an open space, set up camps, and arranged tents neatly and orderly.
They cut down trees and formed a circle of yingbashi around them. Six viewing towers stood tall. A small river passed through the yingpan. The river was covered with thick ice. The Sui army dug ice to get water and busy getting water to cook.
.
The Sui army has been camping here for ten days, and the Sui army has not taken any attacks for the past ten days. Qin Qiong is still patiently waiting for the changes in the current situation.
In the early morning, the sky was just bright, and a giant stone catapult was slowly pushed out of the camp by more than a hundred Sui troops, and moved towards the city wall along the smooth ice of the river. More than a thousand defenders on the city immediately gathered, but they did not
Nervous and scared, but with an excited look.
The main general has not come yet. Perhaps they can get the documents cast by the Sui army. The giant stone catapult stopped about two hundred steps away from the city wall and laid it on the field. More than a hundred Sui soldiers shouted and pulled the throwing pole.
One of the Sui soldiers put a huge wooden shell ball into the steel pocket. With a command, the long arm rod was thrown out and the huge wooden shell ball was thrown into the city, with countless pairs of eyes fixed on it.
This wooden shell ball.
This is the fourth time that the Sui army threw the leaflet in ten days, but there was no effect in the first three times. Qin Qiong suspected that it was confiscated by the enemy general, so before dawn, the Sui army carried out the second throw.
The wooden shell ball drew an arc in the air and flew towards the city. This time, the Sui army specially loosened the wooden shell ball's buckle. Perhaps because of the strong wind, the wooden shell ball opened in the air, thousands of
Zhang's leaflet fell down and flew away into the city with the north wind.
On the top of the city, the soldiers exclaimed and jumped up to grab the propaganda documents floating in the air. Some soldiers grabbed five or six copies and stuffed them in their arms. Although they could not read, they could read them to someone who could read them.
It seems to be accompanied by pictures.
The first three times the wooden shell ball was broken after it landed, and the documents inside were stolen by the commander Zhai Que'er's personal soldiers. No one saw the contents inside. Today, the Sui army came before the day, and all of them were dispersed.
come out.
The Sui army's leaflets made the chief general Zhai Que'er very nervous. He specially ordered his personal soldiers to take turns to work on duty at the top of the city to keep an eye on the movements of the Sui army. Just after the leaflets were spread out, Zhai Que'er arrived after hearing the news.
Seeing that the leaflets had dispersed and the city was floating, he couldn't help but get furious and shouted sternly: "Everyone must hand over the Sui army's documents. Those who do not hand over the documents are punished for being accused of colluding with the enemy."
Under the powerful pressure of the main general Zhai Quier, the soldiers had to hand over the leaflets in their hands. Zhai Quier refused to give up. He ordered people to search the soldiers on duty in the morning one by one, and sent troops to search the streets and alleys.
For the whole morning, more than 2,000 direct relatives of Zhai Quier were searching the flyers from house to house. The soldiers took the opportunity to blackmail, causing trouble.
Zhai Que'er was about fifty years old and grew up with Wei Daoer. He was once a subordinate of the King of Mantian Wang Bafeng. In the seventh year of Daye, Yang Yuanqing, who was the chief supervisor of Youzhou at the time, wiped out Wang Bafeng. Zhai Que'er had always been
Working in farming at home until last autumn, Wei Daoer came to his house to invite him to rebel together, and he became Wei Daoer's deputy general, assisting Wei Daoer in siege and robbing the villages, making numerous military achievements. Wei Daoer proclaimed himself the emperor and empress, generously
The land granted him the King of Shanggu and the county of Shanggu was granted his territory.
In fact, Zhai Que'er had received Wei Dao'er's order two days ago to give up Shanggu County and retreat south. However, Zhai Que'er was unwilling to give up Yi County, which had a wide wall, and there were still 80,000 shi of military rations in the city.
Be sure to defend Yi County.
In the orthodox dynasty, there are still generals and kings who are not allowed to accept the orders of outsiders, not to mention the dynasty like Wei Daoer. Shanggu County is Zhai Queer's territory. When it comes to his vital interests, Zhai Queer will never be willing to do so.
Give up his interests so easily.
Zhai Que'er thought back and forth with his hands behind his back. He could refuse to withdraw his troops on the pretext that he had not received the eagle letter, or he could use the excuse that it was difficult to withdraw his troops in the cold weather. In short, he had to find a way to drag it on.
In fact, Zhai Que'er didn't want to withdraw his troops. The key is that Wei Daoer did not clarify how to compensate for his damaged interests. Wei Daoer's generals were surrounded by mountains, including Ziyang, Lingshou, Xingtang, Fangshan, Jingxing, Jiu.
The county, Zhending, Shiyi and other counties were all granted the title of general. If he withdraws back to Hengshan County, how can he be resettled? Could it be that he will follow Wei Daoer?
At this time! An officer walked to the door and reported, "General, the Sui army's documents that have been thrown into the city, we have confiscated 2,720."
Zhai Que'er turned around and ordered: "The Sui army must have invested in integers. There should be two hundred and eighty numbers left. Continue to search for me and try every means to confiscate me."
The officer hesitated for a moment. He thought that he could not defend himself at all. If the Sui army had projected in the middle of the night, they would have nowhere to search. The officer did not dare to say anything in the end, and lowered his head and turned around and went out.
Zhai Que'er was upset. The Sui army made a lot of good promises on the flyer. If his soldiers looked at the rabbit, they would seriously shake the morale of the army.
In the afternoon, the city's guarding began to change guards, and soldiers retreated to the city to rest. A veteran took advantage of the situation and reached out to take a hand from a broken brick in the city wall, took out a few flyers, and quickly put them in.
In his arms, he patted his butt and followed the soldiers down the city.
When he returned to the camp, more than a dozen soldiers immediately surrounded the veteran, "Brother Wang, take it out and take a look."
"Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious! Let's take a look at what is written on it first?"
The veteran took out a flyer and spread it on his legs. The soldiers surrounded him. There were words and strokes on the flyer. They didn't recognize the words. The painting was a farmer driving a cow to plow the fields. In front of a thatched hut, a farmer
The woman was spinning and weaving cloth, and a few children were jumping and playing, and there was a dog and a few chickens. This was a very familiar situation for the soldiers. Unfortunately, they had already left them, and the soldiers couldn't help but sigh.
.
"Go and find Xiao Liulang!"
After a moment, a thin young man was found. A rare literate man among his soldiers. The veteran waved to him, "Come on, see what is written on it and read it to everyone."
The young man took the leaflet and looked at it, and said to everyone: "The above said that the Sui Dynasty would implement the equal-field system in Shanggu County again. Ding gave 50 acres of land, and Ding gave 10 acres of mulberry and hemp fields, and was exempted from duty for three years. He surrendered
All those who do not surrender will not be granted land.”
The big tent suddenly became a clamor, and someone shouted: "I'm right! My cousin has already distributed 50 acres of land in Mayi County, which is also exempted from tax for three years. This year's autumn tax is indeed not paid at all."
The veteran's eyes glowed and he said to himself, "Damn, this deal is good!"
