Zhao Junsheng asked: "Master Yang, how many soldiers and horses have you brought?"
"Six thousand!" This matter cannot be concealed, Yang Nandang knew it very well, and did not hide it.
Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Lord Yang, there are a thousand defenders on the city wall. They have already been frightened by the lonely army. I will provide you with siege equipment. If your troops can break through Chencang, all property and food in the city will be destroyed. It's all yours, not a cent!"
Yang Nandang's eyes widened: "You really mean what King Qian said?"
"No lie!"
"Okay, that's it!"
Zhao Junsheng knew for a long time that Dou Lutong, the guard of Chen Cang, would not surrender. After all, Dou Lutong's family was in Chang'an. If he surrendered, the family's life would never be easy.
Later facts also proved Zhao Junsheng's guess. After hundreds of letters persuading surrender were shot on the tower, there was no news for two days.
While the Qianjun Artisan Battalion was building siege equipment, Zhao Junsheng sent people to Tuyuhun and Beiliang to rush to Tuyuhun and Beiliang, and ordered Tuyuhun King and Beiliang King to lead troops to attack Wei State together with a strong momentum.
At the same time, he sent Fu Zhan and Liu Xing to lead troops to attack Jincheng and Tianshui.
Two days later, the siege equipment made of existing materials was handed over to Yang Nandang.
Yang Nandang immediately ordered the troops he had brought to attack the city, and a series of siege ladders were erected on the city wall. Qiu Chi's soldiers had long heard that as long as they rushed into the city, they would let them take away the property and food in the city. One by one, they were brave enough to attack.
Yang Nan fell into Zhao Junsheng's language trap. Zhao Junsheng said that there were only 1000 people stationed on the city wall. Yang Nandang mistakenly thought that there were only 1000 people in the entire Chencang city. If he knew that there were [-] defenders in the city, he might not be too happy to lead troops. Siege.
Yang Nandang and his Qiu Chi army didn't know the truth. They always thought that there were only 1000 people in the city, so they launched the largest and most violent offensive during the siege. The three-day onslaught caused the daily casualties of Qiu Chi's army to reach more than 800 people.
In just three days, Yang Nandang lost more than [-] people. Now Yang Nandang couldn't bear the casualties, so he ran to Zhao Junsheng's commander's tent that night to complain.
"King Qian, this city of Chencang is really difficult to fight. I have lost more than 500 men, almost half of my soldiers and horses. If the fight continues like this, as long as I fight for another day, even if I drive behind with a knife, The boys don't dare to attack the city anymore!"
Zhao Junsheng showed displeasure: "King Qiu Chi, Gu will give you a chance to make a fortune. You promised well before, but after only three days of fighting, you are going to give up the pick. Is it appropriate? Gu has always heard how the warriors of Qiu Chi are like." Wu Yong, the siege has only been fought for three days and you said it was too difficult to fight. What you have heard about Gu Qingqing is just rumors and cannot be taken as true? Do you know how long Gu led his troops to attack Beiliang City? One and a half months!"
Yang Nan showed embarrassment to his face, and he also knew that he was wrong. After all, he patted his chest when he agreed to attack the city a few days ago. Junsheng taunted, his face couldn't hold back anymore, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will lead my sons to attack again, if I can't attack tomorrow, I will lose the face of taking the money and food in this city! "
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Junsheng's mouth: "This was originally a meeting gift for you alone. I thought you could get it easily, so I didn't expect it... hey..."
When Yang Nandang heard this, his face became even more ashamed, he stroked his chest and bent over, and said, "The next day, please Qian Wang to see how my subordinate Erlang can break through Chencang!"
"Lonely waiting for the good news from Lord Yang!"
The next day, Yang Nandang continued to lead troops to attack the city. Zhao Junsheng rode a horse and watched the battle with several ministers and generals nearby.
Zhao Junsheng looked at it for a while and asked: "Gao Jinzhi, do you think Qiu Chi's army can break through Chencang today?"
Gao Jinzhi shook his head: "Looking at the momentum, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
Zhao Junsheng smiled. He used Yang Nandang's troops to test out the strength and reality of Chen Cang's defenders. At the same time, he also consumed the strength of Qiu Chi's army. It was just a waste of words. He didn't know that Yang Nandang was leading the troops. The purpose of coming to Chencang?Yang Nandang said he was here to cheer, but he was actually here to beat the wind and take advantage of it. How could Zhao Junsheng's advantage be so easy to take advantage of?
At this time, the envoy sent the battle report on horseback, "Report to Your Majesty, General Gao Xiu sent someone to send an urgent battle report!"
Zhao Junsheng took the battle report, opened it, looked at it, handed it to Dongfang Chen and said, "Let's take a look, since Gao Xiu captured Tongwan City, he continued to march south. The leather leopard who was attacking Hedong was worried that his retreat would be cut off. Anyi City could not be attacked for a long time, so he led his army back to Chaoyi! Zhang Xing took this opportunity to counterattack aggressively, and all the counties in Hedong that had been captured by the leather leopards were recovered one by one!"
"Xue Andu, who is stationed in Tongguan, is also actively planning a counterattack, and a large number of troops have been transferred from Luoyang!"
After reading the battle report, Dongfang Chen passed it on to others, and every minister and military commander present took turns to read it.
Dongfang Chen thought for a while and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, I feel that our army's advancing speed can be slowed down a little bit. Wait for Gao Xiu, Zhang Xing and Xue Andu. Your Majesty will send someone to notify them on a certain day. Order the four armies to launch together on a certain day in a certain month, even if the Wei State has three heads and six arms, it will not be able to stop it!"
When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he clapped his palms and smiled and said, "This plan is very clever!"
As expected by Gao Jin, Qiu Chi's army still hadn't captured Chencang before dark, but according to Zhao Junsheng's observation, the defenders of Chencang should have suffered a lot.
After dinner, the sergeants had already entered their tents to rest, and Yang Rare, who had a gloomy face on Zhao Junsheng's face, called over and asked, "Master Yang, are you still fighting tomorrow?"
Yang Nandang shook his head like a rattle drum: "No more fights, no more fights, more than half of my soldiers and horses have been lost, and the morale of the sons is low, everyone is downcast, and they have no strength to fight anymore. This time not only did not help I am really ashamed to take advantage of the King's favor and suffer heavy losses!"
"I came to see the king this time, apart from saying sorry to the king, I also came to bid farewell to the king!"
Zhao Junsheng had a rather reluctant expression: "If you want to leave, Gu will not stop you. Although Qiu Chi's army did not capture Chen Cang this time, they also severely damaged the defenders. Qiu Chi's army is still very brave. You can see it all. How about this, I will give Yang Guozhu [-] cows and [-] sheep as a token of my heart!"
Yang Nande was quite moved, and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty's generosity and benevolence, I, Yang Nandang, admire you! In the future, what will your majesty order, even if you send someone to tell me, I, Yang Nandang, will definitely go to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire..."
"Master Yang has been here for a few days, and Gu has not had a drink with Lord Yang yet. How about this, if you ask people to prepare a banquet, if you don't get drunk and don't return tonight, you should do it for Lord Yang and Qiu Chi's army! Come here, prepare a banquet and send it off Come up!"
The people below are still very good at handling things, and the good wine and food will be delivered soon. I don’t know where they found a few singers and musicians. They can sing and dance. They are quite talented. You have to applaud.
Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Junsheng suddenly had an idea, and after some thought, he said to Yang Nandang, "Master Yang, I have a business that I want to do with you, and the profit is quite lucrative. I wonder if you want to do it?"
How can Yang Nandang know how to do business, but he heard what Zhao Junsheng said, so he couldn't refuse immediately, "I don't know what kind of business the king is talking about?"
Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "You also know that our country is now at war with the Wei State and the Southern Dynasty. The Emperor Liu Yikang of the Southern Dynasty led [-] troops to attack our Henan from the east. Therefore, the Southern Dynasty's troops in the west are relatively empty. I believe Lord Yang has already known that. Gu has always wanted to give the Southern Dynasty a little bit of color, and has been suffering from no chance. Seeing Lord Yang, Gu feels that the opportunity has come. If Lord Yang is willing to send troops to attack Liangzhou and capture the Hanzhong area, Gu is willing to give a lot of money to support!"
Yang Nandang quickly shook his head: "No, no, since I took over Qiuchi, I have always regarded the Southern Dynasty as the suzerain and paid tribute every year. How can I easily send troops to invade?"
Zhao Junsheng smiled and said: "Master Yang, don't rush to refuse. Lord Yang regards the Southern Dynasty as the suzerain and pays tribute every year. Did the Southern Dynasty ever treat Qiu Chi as a vassal state? The emperor of the Southern Dynasty only regarded Lord Yang as a guard dog. , Gu has already raised troops to resist! If Yang Guozhu is willing to raise troops to attack the Southern Dynasty, it will be beneficial to both of you and me! So, you and I will cooperate, and you will send money and food. In addition, if you conquer a large city in the Southern Dynasty, you will be given back [-] oxen and [-] sheep; if you conquer a small city, you will be given [-] oxen and [-] sheep, what do you think?"
Yang Nandang was tempted by Zhao Junsheng's suggestion, thought for a while and asked, "In addition to the promised cattle and sheep, how much food does the king plan to give me to attack the Southern Dynasty?"
"Ten thousand gold, three thousand shi for the first batch of grain and grass, and two thousand shi for grain and grass every month after that, how about it?"
Yang Nandang stood up and said, "If Your Majesty subsidizes another 30 sets of armour, [-] bows and [-] arrows, I will accept the business!"
Zhao Junsheng also stood up: "The first batch will give you [-] sets of armor, [-] bows and crossbows, and [-] arrows. When you send troops, the remaining armor, bows and crossbows will be delivered one after another!"
"Deal!" Yang Nandang said loudly immediately.

Yang Nandang brought 3000 troops with him when he came, and only [-] left when he left. He lost half of them when he attacked Chencang, but when Zhao Junsheng sent him away, he was very happy.
Zhao Junsheng, the ministers accompanying the army and the generals sent them out of the barracks. Outside the barracks, Dongfang Chen looked at Qiu Chi's army going away and said, "I just can't figure it out. Although this Yang Nandang is a barbarian leader, he looks like a barbarian. Not stupid, but rather shrewd, how could he be so easily persuaded by the king with a few words?"
Zhao Junsheng's expression was indifferent: "No one else, it's all driven by interests! Qiu Chi has never received any benefits since he accepted the Southern Dynasty as the suzerain. The reason why he relied on the Southern Dynasty in the past was that he was threatened by the Wei State and he had to do it. Now the Wei State treats him The threat from the Southern Dynasty has been lifted, and the Southern Dynasty is at war with our country on a large scale, and Yang Nandang has no threat from Wei, nor does he need to look at the face of the Southern Dynasty, and he cannot refuse the conditions offered to him alone!"
"In the end, it's all because of greed. Greed made his shrewdness useless!"
Dongfang Chen cupped his hands: "Your Majesty is brilliant, I admire you!"
Other ministers and generals also clasped their fists and said: "I admire you!"
Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Next, let's think about how to destroy the city!"
Although Qiu Chi's army hadn't breached Chencang City in the past few days, they had disabled the defenders in the city. By this time, more than half of the 3000 defenders had been lost, leaving only more than 300 people.
Dou Lutong, the guard, was in a bad mood and was already anxious to get angry. Chen Cangcheng had been attacked by the Gan army for several days, but Chang'an hadn't sent troops to relieve the siege. Dou Lutong even suspected that Chang'an would not send reinforcements at all.
