Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

On the second day, the Zhaowu army attacked the cottage again.

From the mouth of the captive, it was learned that this cottage was called Xihengling, and there were about 1,000 troops in the cottage.

Yang Zhi said secretly, the area of the cottage is obviously much larger than the previous two cottages, if it is captured, it can also be garrisoned here.

After yesterday's confrontation, I realized that the opponent's strength was not weak. This time, Yang Zhi didn't dare to be careless, and first sent archers to shoot arrows, and under the dense arrow array, dozens of enemy soldiers were shot.

The soldiers of Xihengling quickly raised their shields. It was not a fine iron shield, but a wooden shield, but it was enough to block the arrows.

Shen Ning ordered the archers to counterattack, although the range of their longbows was not as good as that of the Zhaowu army, but it also made the Zhaowu army unable to get close for a while.

Qi Jingyun has been calmly observing from the sidelines, and said to Yang Zhi: "Our army is slightly small, if we choose to attack, it will be difficult to win in a short time, it is better to try to lure the enemy down the mountain." On

the third day, the Zhaowu army stopped attacking, and a hundred soldiers insulted under the cottage. The words are very dirty, and they are scolded from morning to night. Some soldiers scolded that they were tired, so they simply took off their armor, long knives, and other things, and sat on the ground, their outfits very lax.

Seeing this, some people on the mountain persuaded Shen Ning to go down the mountain to attack, but they were wiped out in one battle. Shen Ning rejected his subordinates' suggestion and did not allow anyone to go down the mountain, and continued to stick to Xihengling.

His wife Yang Yue was puzzled, and asked in private: "The enemy is so lax, such an opportunity is rare, why doesn't the husband attack?"

Shen Ning smiled slightly and said, "Madam, this is the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy. I concluded that there must be an enemy ambush in the dense jungle around me.

Yang Yue suddenly realized, and said: "I see that the number of enemy soldiers is not as good as our army, why is it difficult to win."

Shen Ning was silent for a while, and said, "The enemy is well-equipped, and the soldiers are brave. Therefore, I can only stick to the mountain. No

matter how insulting the Zhaowu soldiers were, there was no battle in the cottage. Yang Zhi also sent a woman's clothes to the mountain, and after Shen Ning received it, he smiled and ignored it.

All methods have been tried, but the Zhaowu army is still unable to attack Xihengling.

Yang Zhi frowned, "Commander Qi has any good ideas."

"There is no good plan for the subordinates, so the only way to survive now is to continue to survive and see who survives."

"That's the only way, the food is still enough to eat for ten days, so let's continue to boil." Yang Zhi seemed to have no intention of saying: "This village owner is a capable person, and he should know some art of war." Xihengling is not far from Heihuling, and such people must either be killed or taken for their own use.

Qi Jingyun immediately understood Yang Zhi's thoughts, and he wanted to try to persuade him to surrender.

But Yang Zhi was reluctant to go up the mountain, so such a task naturally fell on Qi Jingyun.

Qi Jingyun is Li Zhao's confidant, if Yang Zhi sends him up the mountain to persuade him to surrender, if he is killed, Yang Zhi will definitely be implicated. But if Qi Jingyun took the initiative to ask to go up the mountain, it had nothing to do with Yang Zhi.

"Your subordinates can go up the mountain to persuade them to surrender, but not now, at least in five days. Seeing that our army has no intention of withdrawing troops, the other side may agree to negotiate. If you go up the mountain now, you will be despised.

Yang Zhi thought about it, felt that this statement was reasonable, and agreed with Qi Jingyun's statement.

In the past five days, the Zhaowu army set up a camp at the foot of the mountain, dug deep trenches, and there was no sign of withdrawal at all, and the two sides confronted each other like this.

Yang Zhi sent people to cut down wood, make simple stone-throwing trucks, and use stone-throwing trucks to attack the cottage, killing many Xihengling soldiers.

Five days later, his subordinates suddenly came to see Shen Ning, saying that the enemy army under the mountain had sent people up the mountain to see the owner of the village.

Shen Ning thought for a moment, and immediately understood Zhaowujun's plan, and agreed to meet the other party.

Qi Jingyun didn't wear armor, didn't carry a long knife, and went up the mountain alone.

Shen Ning saw that Qi Jingyun was in an uproar, although he went deep into the enemy camp, he did not see panic, his expression was still calm, and he added a trace of goodwill in his heart, and said: "Your Excellency wants to see me, what is the matter?" "

The two armies are facing each other, and I came here to naturally persuade the owner of the village to surrender to our army. Qi Jingyun said bluntly.

"Although Your Excellency's soldiers are brave, they are unable to attack my cottage, why should I surrender?" Shen Ning said lightly.

"If this battle continues to stalemate, the owner of the village will be defeated. Qi Jingyun said lightly.

"Why do you say this?"

"First, although our army has few non-commissioned officers, the two armies are facing each other, and the owner of the village still has no certainty of victory, otherwise, he would have gone down the mountain to attack our army a long time ago, so why stick to the cottage. Our army has besieged the cottage for a long time, and after a long time, when the food in the cottage runs out, what should the owner of the village do?"

Shen Ning was silent, Qi Jingyun was not wrong.

"Secondly, does the owner of the village think that our army really only has a few hundred. What should the owner of the village do when there is a large increase in troops? Do you really want to see a river of blood flowing in the cottage? "

What kind of person is your boss?" Shen Ning suddenly asked.

"The name of our army is 'Zhaowu Army', and the marshal is Li Zhao, the eldest son of King Yong of Wei State. Although the handsome man is not very old, he has great ambitions, is decisive and strategic. He treats people kindly, although he is in a high position, he is very good to his subordinates. On the Black Tiger Ridge, even those old and weak women and children never worry about not having anything to eat.

Shen Ning looked at Qi Jingyun steadily, and finally made sure that he was not lying.

"If I surrender, what will happen to my subordinates?"

"It is estimated that he will be incorporated into the Zhaowu Army and enjoy the same treatment as the Zhaowu soldiers." Qi Jingyun said.

"You can promise that after you surrender, you will not kill my soldiers. Shen Ning said in a deep voice.

"Of course, I would like to vouch for my life.

"I see, you can go back first. Come here tomorrow and I'll make a decision then. "

Farewell.

Yang Zhi saw that Qi Jingyun came down from the mountain safe and sound, and he was overjoyed, knowing that this matter could be done.

Shen Ning summoned all the commanders under his command and informed him of his determination to surrender.

The crowd was in an uproar, some agreed, some were at a loss, and some were clearly opposed.

Shen Ning patiently told everyone that if the Zhaowu army insisted on not withdrawing the troops, the food on the mountain would not last for a month, and the Zhaowu army had promised him that they would not kill the soldiers.

Only then did the crowd reluctantly agree to surrender.

After everyone left, Yang Yue said worriedly: "After you surrender, as the owner of the village, will they really spare you?"

Shen Ning laughed and comforted: "Madame is too worried, if this commander of the Zhaowu Army is really so good as someone said, he should not kill me." "

Are you sure he won't kill you?" Yang Yue was still not very relieved.

"At least seventy percent sure. The

next day, after Qi Jingyun came to the cottage, Shen Ning informed him that he was willing to surrender.

Qi Jingyun was in a wonderful mood, and after discussing with Yang Zhi, he gave all the remaining money and food to the people in the cottage.

This set was learned from Li Zhao, don't talk nonsense in everything, give money and food first. When the tangible benefits are given to the other party, things are much easier.

Sure enough, everyone in the cottage was happy, and there were no more complaints.

According to Shen Ning, there are 1,200 people in the cottage, of which 800 are young and strong.

To the surprise of Yang Zhi and others, in addition to grain, there were 120,000 taels of silver in the cottage. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, who was Shen Ning, how could there be so many silver taels?
