The largest mansion in the city of Guozhou - General Lin's Mansion.

The big mansion with seven entrances and seven exits, pavilions, pavilions, gardens, and water pavilions, and the towering eaves of the buildings stretch horizontally, revealing the solemnity of military power and the domineering atmosphere of a general.

The door opened suddenly, and a soapy messenger ran in quickly out of breath, passing through the courtyard to the living room, and saw Lin Chongyang drinking tea, and knelt on one knee with a puff. - Each unit has special rules for scouts, heralds, and messengers, allowing them to go straight to the general's place without having to make a report.

"Report to the general, Tang Yuan's troops entered Quzhou, and fought with Quzhou guards Bai Yong and Chen Duoyang in Quzhou City for three days and three nights, Bai Yong asked Tang Yuan to withdraw his troops, Tang Yuan did not withdraw, but asked Bai Yong for military rations, Bai Yong did not give, the two sides continued to stalemate, and the Shu Han envoy has come to the mansion, waiting for the marshal to meet."

Lin Chongyang's face sank like water, and he could see that he was very displeased.

Tang Yuan didn't have a general, and he brazenly sent troops without the consent of the upper peak, which was a big crime.

Lin Chongyang said in his heart: Although you Tang Yuan is no longer a member of the Tang Clan, and your backstage is the emperor and the empress, but now you are also in the name of my Hanzhong general, and you have also eaten my food for a few months, why don't you take me Lin Chongyang in your eyes so much?

Even if you let me know, even if you don't get a reply from me, and you send troops again, I have a mental preparation, and now I have been fighting for three days and three nights, and I only know the letter, if I don't arrange someone by your side, don't you plan to let me know at all?

Now it's okay, the battle report and the enemy's envoy came together, but Lin Chongyang knew very little about the battlefield situation, how to negotiate in this situation?

Lin Chongyang's voice was heavy, and he said, "Let the messenger wait first." ”

"Yes!"

After passing it on, Lin Chongyang raised the teacup in his hand by two inches, and saw that the muscles on his face twitched, as if he wanted to drop the teacup in his hand to the ground, but he didn't do that, and slowly put down the teacup.

"Tang Yuan's troops are out of food, if it were me, maybe they would do the same."

stood up and walked out, and said to the servants beside him: "Call Zhang Pan, Li Liang, Ni Tianding, and Wei Wuli to me, and meet in the hall." ”

"Yes!"

——

Nine times out of ten, things in life are unsatisfactory, so many clever calculations.

Tang Yuan originally planned to fight a quick battle, but he didn't expect that this battle would be fought for three days and three nights, and the battle situation was tragic, seriously exceeding expectations.

Because there are too few siege equipment, he is not afraid to retreat to defend Chen Duoyang, he personally climbed to the head of the city, and the Liang army siege troops hand-to-hand combat killing, although the Shu army is short, but flexible and tenacious, that Chen Duoyang in his hand closed fan door knife up and down, fierce and abnormal.

If the main general can fight, the soldiers can fight, this is the characteristic of the Shu Han army, on the contrary, once the main general is defeated, the Shu army will be crushed for thousands of miles, which is in stark contrast to the male Jia people. But there is always a general guard by his side, and the general himself is also excellent in martial arts, so it is not easy to kill him.

Tang Yuan shot ten arrows in a row under the city, but he couldn't hurt him, and he couldn't scare him back, at this time, he had the heart to call Tang Hu and Chen Bao back to the city to fight with him, Tang Yuan was a little unbearable, if he broke any of the brothers in this small city, it would be too much of a loss. You must know that these two are different from ordinary generals, in Tang Yuan's opinion, they are closer than brothers, although Tang Hu always causes trouble, but they have never changed his status in Tang Yuan's heart.

The military rations are about to run out, and Tang Yuan has no way back, so he must take Quzhou and enter the city to grab food, otherwise the remaining thousands of people will have no way to live.

According to his estimates, if he didn't bring back some grain, Yue Pu and Fu Ying, who were looking after the family in Pengzhou, would have to gnaw on the bark.

"Report to the general, they are all seriously injured and have retreated, and the tenth regiment can't move." Battlefield observation scouts quickly return to the lane.

"Let Liu Zhan try it." Nalan channeled.

Tang Yuan didn't agree, but said, "Isn't Bai Yong's envoy still gone?" Let him come to me. ”

"They won't give us food for three months." Nalan Xin appeared to be less confident.

"Then we will all die." Tang Yuan said ruthlessly.

The enemy envoy walked in, a short man in his forties, with a typical scholarly appearance, but his eyes were quite sharp, worthy of being a scholar among soldiers.

He came here with Bai Yong's reinforcements, and at this time, Bai Yong's 7,000 troops were blocked in the south by Chen Bao, Tang Hu, and Ma Ben, and they couldn't get through.

At the beginning, Tang Yuan asked Chen Bao to withdraw his troops, but Chen Bao did not withdraw, not because Chen Bao disobeyed, but because he had discovered the movement of the enemy's reinforcements, why the enemy's speed was so fast, there was only one answer, that is, the enemy's deployment suddenly changed, while Chen Duoyang was stationed in Quzhou, Bai Yong also transferred the troops from two hundred taels of water to Shi'an, so that the distance of support was greatly shortened.

Hearing that enemy reinforcements had arrived, Tang Yuan asked Chen Bao to stay in the south.

In this way, it can be regarded as cutting off the retreat of the soldiers defending the city in Liangzhou, so this battle must be a life-and-death battle.

That's why I fought for three days and three nights.

At this time, the city of Liangzhou was already smoking, and both sides used fire and thunder, killing and injuring countless people, and the tragic situation was indescribable.

Tang Yuan's eyes were cold, staring at the enemy envoy and said: "I'm not afraid to let you know, now that our army has run out of food, it is impossible for us to withdraw at all, if you don't hand over the food, I will order Chen Bao to attack Bai Yong." Do you think Bai Yong's 7,000 infantry can withstand the impact of my 3,000 cavalry? ”

Although Bai Yong's reinforcements came, he did not attack, but lined up with Chen Bao and confronted each other. Chen Bao doesn't attack, and he doesn't attack either. Now it is a huge test for Chen Duoyang. This is also Tang Yuan's bargaining chip.

Bai Yong thought that if Tang Yuan was willing to withdraw from the army, then we would not have to fight anymore, but Tang Yuan's condition was that it was 10,000 people with three months' rations, although Bai Yong had a lot of food, but he also felt unacceptable to distribute three months' rations at once, so the two sides were deadlocked here.

Tang Yuan was in a hurry, in fact, Bai Yong was also in a hurry, if Quzhou City was lost, would his seven thousand people retreat or stay?

Stay, can you beat Tang Yuan?

Retreat, what will the court say?

Shu Han Emperor Liu Xun's temper, said that if you kill someone, you will kill people, if you lose the battle, you will lose your head if you don't do it well, even if you have your uncle Bai Chongguang in the court, even if you don't die, this official doesn't want to be again.

"Before I came, General Bai told me all the bottom line conditions, we have predicted that you will not have enough food, and will ask us for military rations, but three months' rations are too much, and it is impossible to give them to you. If it is changed to a month, it can be done immediately. The messenger said.

"Not for a month." Tang Yuan said: "We have been fighting for three days, one day is a month, if you still don't agree today, then tomorrow's negotiation will become four months, you should see my determination clearly, if you can't do it, hurry back to discuss with Bai Yong." ”

"I won't go back, I told General Bai before I came, if I can't negotiate, I'll die with you. Similarly, as long as I agree, this matter will be settled, and General Bai will never regret it. The messenger said hard.
