The besieging cadres separated a passage, and Lu Shuang walked over on horseback with a barbarian strong man in his forties dressed in strange clothes and iron armor, followed by a large number of barbarian generals, cavalry and infantry.

There is no need for Lu Shuang to introduce, Yang Nandang has already seen that Zhao Junsheng is the king of Qianguo, and he stepped forward to salute: "Yang Nandang, the lord of the small country of Qiuchi, has seen the king of Qian!" ”

Zhao Junsheng stepped forward and helped Yang Nandang up: "Lord Yang doesn't have to be polite, why did the Lord of the Kingdom bring troops to Chencang?" ”

Yang said: "I was in Wudu, I heard that the king of Qianguo led an army from the north to attack Chencang, thinking that you and I have some friendship between the two countries, so I led the troops to see what the king of Qianwang needs to help. ”

"Lord Yang has a heart, and he is very moved!" Zhao Junsheng had a smile on his face, his heart moved, he turned his head to look at Chen Cangcheng, and said to Yang Nandang: "Lord Yang, do you think this Chen Cangcheng is tall?" ”

Yang Nandang glanced at it and said, "It's okay, it's shorter than my country's Wudu City, and it's not as strong as my Wudu City!" ”

The surrounding ministers and generals all laughed secretly in their hearts, this Yang Nandang really wanted to save face, and when he belittled Chen Cangcheng, he didn't forget to boast about his national capital and put gold on his face.

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Lord Yang, how many soldiers and horses did you bring?" ”

"Six thousand!" This matter can't be hidden, Yang Nandang knows it well, and he doesn't hide it.

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Lord Yang, there are a thousand defenders on the city wall, and they have already been frightened by the lonely army, and Lone will provide you with siege equipment, if your men and horses can break through Chencang, all the property and food in the city will belong to you, and Lone will not have a penny!" ”

Yang Nandang's eyes widened: "Is King Qian's words true?" ”

"No lie!"

"Okay, that's it!"

Zhao Junsheng had long known that Chen Cang's guard general Doulutong would not surrender, after all, Doulutong's family was in Chang'an, and if he surrendered, the life of the family would never be easy.

Later facts also proved Zhao Junsheng's guess, when hundreds of letters of persuasion were shot up the city tower, there was no news for two days.

During the construction of siege equipment in the craftsman battalion of the Qianjun army, Zhao Junsheng sent people to Tuyuhun and Beiliang quickly, and ordered the king of Tuyuhun and the king of Beiliang to lead troops to attack Wei together to strengthen the 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 from the existing materials was handed over to Yang Nandang.

Yang Nan immediately ordered the men and horses he brought to start attacking the city, a siege ladder was erected on the city wall, and the Qiu Chi soldiers had already heard that as long as they entered the city, the property and food in the city were taken by them, and they attacked one by one without fear of death.

Yang Nan fell into Zhao Junsheng's language trap, Zhao Junsheng said that there were only 1,000 people stationed on the city wall, Yang Nandang mistakenly thought that there were only 1,000 people in the entire Chencang City, if he knew that there were 3,000 defenders in the city, he was afraid that he would not be too happy to lead troops to attack the city.

Yang Nandang and his Qiu Chi army did not know the truth, and always thought that there were only 1,000 people in the city, so they launched the largest and most fierce offensive during the siege of the city, and the onslaught for three days made the Qiu Chi army suffer more than 800 casualties every day.

In just three days, Yang Nandang lost more than 2,500 people, and now Yang Nandang couldn't bear the casualties, so he ran to Zhao Junsheng's tent that night to complain.

"King Qian, this Chencang City is too difficult to fight, my men have lost more than 2,500 people, almost half of the soldiers and horses, if you continue to fight like this, as long as you fight for another day, even if I drive behind with a knife, the sons and daughters will not dare to attack the city again!"

Zhao Junsheng's face was displeased: "King Qiu Chi, Lone gave you a chance to make a fortune, you promised to do it well, and you have to pick a son after only three days of fighting, is it appropriate?" Lone has always heard how brave the Qiu Chi warriors are, this siege has only been fought for three days, and you say that it is too difficult to fight, and what you dare to love Lone has heard is just preaching, can't it be true? Do you know how long the lone army attacked Beiliang City? A month and a half! ”

Yang Nan was embarrassed in front of him, he also knew that he was at a loss, after all, he patted his chest when he agreed to attack the city a few days ago, and he had the idea of taking advantage of it at that time, but now he didn't take advantage of it, but he also lost his troops, and now after listening to Zhao Junsheng's ridicule, his face couldn't hold it anymore, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll take my sons to attack again, if I can't attack it tomorrow, I won't have the face to take the money and food in this city!" ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Junsheng's mouth: "This was originally a meeting gift from Lonely, I thought you could easily get it, how do you want to ······ Hey······"

When Yang Nan heard this, his face became even more ashamed, and he stroked his chest and bent over and said, "The next day, please see how my sons and daughters will break through Chen Cang!" ”

"Waiting for the good news of Lord Yang!"

The next day, Yang Nandang continued to lead his troops to attack the city, and Zhao Junsheng rode a horse and watched the battle with several ministers and generals who accompanied the army.

Zhao Junsheng looked at it for a while and asked, "Gao Jinzhi, do you say that the Qiu Chi Army can break through Chen Cang today?" ”

Gao Jinzhi shook his head: "Look at this momentum, I'm afraid it's difficult!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled, he used Yang Nandang's soldiers and horses to test out the combat power and reality of the Chen Cang defenders, and at the same time consumed the strength of the Qiu Chi army, but he didn't know the purpose of Yang Nandang's troops to Chen Cang? Yang Nandang said that he was here to cheer, but in fact, he came to fight the autumn breeze and take advantage, how could he Zhao Junsheng's advantage be so easy to take advantage of?

At this time, the messenger rode a horse and sent a battle report, "King Qiyu, General Gao Xiu sent someone to send an urgent battle report!" ”

Zhao Junsheng took the battle report, opened it and looked at it, handed it to Dongfang Chen and said: "Let's take a look, Gao Xiu has continued to wave his army south since he captured Tongwan City, and the leopard who is attacking Hedong is worried that his back road will be cut off, and Anyi City will not be able to capture it for a long time, so he led the army to withdraw to Chaoyi!" Zhang Xing took this opportunity to counterattack in a big way, and the counties in Hedong that had been captured by the leopards were recovered one by one! ”

"Xue Andu, who is sitting in Tongguan, is also actively planning a counteroffensive, and a large number of troops have been transferred from Luoyang!"

After Dongfang Chen finished reading the battle report, he transferred it to the others, and every minister and military general present took turns to read it.

Dongfang Chen thought for a while and said to Zhao Junsheng: "King, the minister thinks that the advance speed of our army can be slowed down a little, wait for Gao Xiu, Zhang Xing and Xue Andu." The king set a day to send someone to inform them, and ordered the four soldiers and horses to be launched together on a certain day of the month, and even if the Wei State had three heads and six arms, it would not be able to stop it! ”

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he stroked his palms and smiled: "This plan is very wonderful!" ”

was expected by Gao Jin, before dark, the Qiu Chi army still did not capture Chencang, but according to Zhao Junsheng's observation, the losses of the defenders of Chencang should also be large.

After dinner, the sergeants had all entered the tent to rest, and Zhao Junsheng's gloomy Yang rarely called over and asked, "Lord Yang, will you still fight tomorrow?" ”

Yang Nandang shook his head like a rattle: "Don't fight, don't fight, my soldiers and horses have lost more than half of them, the morale of the sons and daughters is low, one by one is depressed, and they have no strength to fight again, not only did they not help the king this time, but also suffered heavy losses, I am really ashamed!" ”

"I came to see the king this time, in addition to saying sorry to the king, I still came to bid farewell to the king!"

Zhao Junsheng had a rather reluctant expression: "If you want to go, Lone will not stop you, although the Qiu Chi Army did not capture Chen Cang this time, it also severely damaged the defenders, the Qiu Chi Army is still very brave, and Lone sees it in his eyes." In this way, Gu gave Lord Yang 2,000 cattle and 3,000 sheep to express his heart! ”

Yang was quite moved, and saluted and said: "The king is generous and benevolent, and I Yang is hard to admire!" In the future, if the king has any send, even if he sends someone to say, I will definitely go up to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire······"

"Lord Yang has been here for several days, and Lone has not had a wine with Lord Yang, so let's do it, Lone asks someone to prepare a banquet, and if he doesn't get drunk tonight, he will be practiced for Lord Yang and Qiu Chijun! Come on, prepare a banquet and send it up! ”

The people below are still very good at doing things, and the good wine and food that were sent soon after, I don't know where they found a few singers and musicians, who sang and danced, and were quite talented.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Junsheng suddenly had an idea, and after some thought, he said to Yang Nandang: "Lord Yang, there is a business I want to do with you, and it is quite profitable, I don't know if you want to do it?" ”

Where can Yang Nandang do business, but when he heard Zhao Junsheng say this, it was not easy to refuse as soon as he opened his mouth, "I don't know what kind of business the king is talking about?" ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "You also know that now our country is at war with Wei and the Southern Dynasty, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty Liu Yikang led 100,000 troops from the east to attack my Henan, so the Southern Dynasty's troops in the west are relatively empty, I believe that the Yang Dynasty has already known, Lone has always wanted to give the Southern Dynasty a little color to see, has been suffering from no opportunity, seeing Yang Guozhu, Lone feels that the opportunity has come, if Yang is willing to send troops to attack Liangzhou and capture the Hanzhong region, Lone is willing to fund heavily!" ”

Yang Nandang hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, since I took over Qiu Chi, I have always served the Southern Dynasty as the suzerain, and I pay tribute every year, how can I easily send troops to invade?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Don't be busy refusing Lord Yang, Lord Yang regards the Southern Dynasty as the suzerain, and pays tribute every year, has the Southern Dynasty ever regarded Qiu Chi as a vassal state?" The emperor of the Southern Dynasty only regarded Lord Yang as a dog guarding the door, if he was Lone, Lone would have raised an army to resist a long time ago! If Lord Yang is willing to raise troops to attack the Southern Dynasty, this will be beneficial to both you and me! In this way, you and I cooperate, you will contribute money and food, you will send troops, and the cities of the Southern Dynasty you will get all your gains. In addition, when you lay down a great city in the Southern Dynasty, Gu gave you back two thousand oxen and three thousand sheep; What do you think of a small city, and give you a thousand oxen and two thousand sheep? ”

Yang Nandang was moved by Zhao Junsheng's suggestion, thought about it and asked: "In addition to the promised cattle and sheep, how much grain does the king plan to give me to attack the Southern Dynasty?" ”

"10,000 gold, the first batch of grain and grass 3,000 stones, and then send 2,000 stones of grain and grass every month, how about it?"

Yang Nandang stood up and said, "If the king funds another 5,000 sets of armor, 5,000 bows and crossbows, and 300,000 arrows, I will take over this business!" ”

Zhao Junsheng also stood up: "The first batch will give you 2,000 sets of armor, 2,000 crossbows, and 100,000 arrows. ”

"Deal!" Yang Nandang immediately said loudly.
