Chapter 233: A big victory for both sides

After a hearty meal, the tent was quiet and it was time to get down to business.

"General Chen, how long can your army hold out?" Yang Congyi said.

"Five days. In a few days, the military resources of the occupants will be exhausted, and they can try to attack the city at that time, but unfortunately they came in a hurry this time, and they didn't bring any siege equipment. Chen Ye felt a pity.

"Mr. Zhang, is five days enough?" Yang Congyi asked again.

"It won't take that long, maybe three days will be enough. When the time comes, you must withdraw immediately, or it will be difficult. Mr. Zhang glanced at Chen Ye.

"Okay, let's take what we need and make friends by the way. Here today, we will make it clear so that there will be no misunderstanding in the future. This time the Annan army went south to try, is General Chen's whim, came up with a training plan, my Great Song Dynasty envoy escort army just took the first step south, to pass the city, but blocked the way of the Annam army, the Great Song Dynasty Gui for the Heavenly Empire, has always loved peace, I wanted to stand between the city and Annam, to be a peacemaker, I don't want to because it is too close to the city, even if I put down my weapons, due to the language barrier, it still caused the hostility and vigilance of the defenders of the city, as a last resort, the Great Song Dynasty envoy escort army can only retreat, in this way, the Annam army directly into the city, The two armies face each other, and friction just happens. However, fortunately, Mr. Zhang had already come to the Great Song army earlier, and the three parties discussed many times, and finally under the auspices of the Great Song Dynasty, General Chen led his troops back to Annam. What do you two think? After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he looked at the two of them.

Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "Lord Yang's words are reasonable, I will go back to the past of Zhancheng." ”

Chen Ye said: "Lord Yang, this is unreasonable, my 20,000 troops finally came to visit, and they didn't get much benefit, so they just left, and it's not easy to explain when they go back." Champa is so rich, you can't say it if you don't give some money. Besides, this is what Lord Yang promised. ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "General Chen, don't worry, Mr. Zhang didn't say that he wouldn't give money." ”

Mr. Zhang looked at Yang Congyi with a question, is there anything else about him here?

Yang Congyi said again: "Mr. Zhang, General Chen is right, how much grain and grass did Annan's tens of thousands of troops spend to come to Zhancheng to train under the city, no matter how big my Song Dynasty's face is, it is impossible for them to do a loss-making business, and they will go back if they don't get any benefits." Besides, if you don't even give the Annan people a little benefit, and they just withdraw from the army, everyone will definitely think that this matter is fake, it is better to say that you paid a sum of money to buy the commander of Annan, and the Annan people are reasonable to withdraw their troops. ”

There is no way around this matter, the Great Song people have brought the Annan people, and tens of thousands of people have come down from the city, if the Annan people do not retreat at the right time, things will become tricky. Maybe we can only spend money to eliminate the disaster, but I hope that the people of Annam will not open their mouths.

Mr. Zhang thought for a moment, and then asked, "It is naturally most reasonable to give some money to buy General Chen, but I don't know how much money General Chen thinks is appropriate?" ”

Chen Ye looked at Yang Congyi and saw that the other party didn't mean to speak, so he replied tentatively: "At least ten thousand taels of gold." ”

As soon as Mr. Zhang heard this, he immediately replied: "Lord Yang, General Chen thinks that Zhang will turn stones into gold spells." ”

Yang Congyi was also a little surprised, does this Chen Ye really have a hobby of looting money? At that time, when he went south, he wanted to collect the money from Xuanwei Army, and now he opened his mouth to 10,000 taels of gold, and his appetite was too great.

"General Chen, we're talking about business very seriously, so don't be joking. Collect a thousand taels of gold, and the meaning will be fine. Yang Congyi had to play a round.

Who knew that Chen Ye said: "Lord Yang, one thousand taels is too little, at least two thousand taels." ”

"Mr. Zhang, what do you see, can you accept two thousand taels?"

Mr. Zhang sighed and replied, "Okay, two thousand is two thousand, but now I don't have any money, and General Chen will send someone to pick it up in a month." ”

"Since I am the peacemaker, let's make a tripartite note, and I hope both of you can abide by the agreement."

After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he quickly wrote three pieces of the agreement, in triplicate, and after each signed the agreement, one person received one as a voucher.

"Okay, this matter is decided, when Annan will withdraw his troops, it is up to Mr. Zhang to decide, General Chen should not withdraw his troops in advance, nor should he delay and postpone it. Nothing else, let's disperse. Yang Congyi said with a smile.

The Great Song Dynasty will always be the Heavenly Empire in front of Annan and Zhancheng, and reasonable people will not easily offend the Great Song Dynasty, because Yang Congyi is not very old and his official position is not high, but he can build a bridge between Mr. Zhang and Chen Ye on the front line, and be a peacemaker who speaks very weightily, because he is behind the Great Song Dynasty.

Mr. Zhang was sent away, Zhang Biao also came out of the camp, Chen Ye seemed to have something to do, and he had no intention of leaving.

"Is General Chen still in business?"

"Lord Yang, now the people of Champa have been using rockets, although we listen to you and tie banana leaves to the wooden board, but the banana leaves can't help but burn, and besides, they keep releasing rockets, and we can't get arrows." Can you think of another way for us, get more arrows, the people of Champa burned it, and it would be a pity to waste it. ”

"They release rockets, I really can't help it, I can't let it rain God." Yang Congyi waved his hand.

"Rain? Thank you, Lord Yang. Chen Ye seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Zhang Liu didn't say a word from beginning to end, and when Chen Ye left, he couldn't help but ask, "My lord, you really can't solve the rocket problem?" ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Just retreat a few dozen steps back, the linen cloth tied to the arrow has great resistance, and if you can't shoot accurately, you can't fly far, it's not that complicated." ”

Zhang Liu said: "It's so simple, why don't you tell him." ”

Yang Congyi said: "The balance of power between them cannot be broken, and it will be of great use after occupying the city, and it cannot be occupied by the Annan people." ”

Zhang Liu said: "He estimated that he would wait for the rain." If it doesn't rain, he won't attack, and we'll be in no trouble, right? ”

Yang Congyi said: "As long as they don't leave, the reinforcements from Zhancheng will not dare to go, and we will not be in trouble." Wait, wait for Mr. Zhang's good news, it should be over soon. ”

On sunny days, the frequency of attacks by the Annamites decreased a lot, but when it rained, they were tireless and took turns to provoke and attack.

In the tropics, the rain comes and goes quickly, but every time it rains for half an hour, the Annamites can still attack several rounds smoothly, and a rain can collect tens of thousands of sharp arrows in good condition.

Three days later, Annam's army retreated.

In a few days, the Cham people and the Annamite people each achieved their own goal, the Champam people held the city, the enemy could not attack within 50 steps of the city, the Annamite people kept attacking, and received countless sharp arrows.

Neither side was defeated, so to speak, they both won, and they still won by a big margin.

The victorious Annamites were gone, and the Cham reinforcements, also as the victors, left a day later and returned to their own garrisons.

A day after the Champa reinforcements left, the Great Song Xuanwei army came out of the jungle and reappeared in front of the Champa people, with a big Song character flag fluttering in the wind.

This time, they are no longer lazy faces, but with bright clothes and armor, neat formations, and spears pointing straight into the sky, as if they want to pierce the sky, as if they are a strong army!

At the same time, a small contingent of people from Vijaya, the capital of the Champa state, came from the border town on the opposite side, and they were waving the king's banner.

People from the national capital, waving the king's flag, there must be something important, and the generals of the whole army greet the envoy in front of the marshal's mansion.

As soon as the battle was won, the national capital sent an envoy, which must be a reward and reward, not only the commander of Xiang Mu Tou was happy, but also the generals under his command were also very happy.

But there was one exception in the excited crowd, and that was the general on duty, Ge Zhinaye, who was not happy, for the victory had nothing to do with him, and the reward was not his share.

The envoy of the national capital came to the Shuaifu under the escort of a team of black armor soldiers, without any greetings, he directly announced a dumbfounded news in public!

"Xiang Ya Mutou, Vijaya got a secret report, saying that you have colluded with the Annamite people in the border to raise your own dignity, and you have reported that you have won every battle for more than ten years, but in fact, the number of casualties in each battle is several times that of the enemy, and the loss of military funds is also very alarming, and the amount of money spent is huge. After verification, the secret report was true. Now I command you to surrender your military power and return to Vijaya for trial! Come on, take down Xiang Mu Tho! ”

After the envoy finished speaking, all the generals were stunned!

Coach Xiang Mu Tou was even more shocked, and he was stunned on the spot when he heard the words!

Seeing the Black Armor Army coming forward, he suddenly woke up, and immediately said loudly: "You must be spies pretending to be from Annan!" Whoever comes, take it all down for me! ”

As soon as the commander gave the order, the guards of the Shuaifu immediately stepped forward to stop the black armor army.

The envoy said sharply: "Xiangyu Mutou, don't be presumptuous, if it weren't for the Annan people to attack, they would have taken you back to Vijaya a few days ago!" Now hand over the military power, obediently go back with us, and for the sake of your years of hard work, you will not die, if you insist on going your own way and confront us, then you don't have to go back to Vijaya to be tried, the envoy can kill you on the spot immediately! Don't let them back down yet! ”

Xiang Mu Tou laughed and said, "Cunning Annan, how can I fall for you!" Come on, kill all these Annan spies, and leave no one behind! ”

The Black Armor Army and the guards of the Shuai Mansion were no more than five steps apart, but no one dared to take the lead. As soon as the commander spoke, the guards took another step forward, but looking at the domineering black-armored army, endless fear rose in their hearts!

Legend has it that the Black Armor Army guards the capital and the palace, and has a very high status in the army.

Now that the Black Armor Army is in front of them, even if the commander gives an order, they don't dare to be presumptuous.

"Xiang Mu Tou, give you one last chance, hand over the military power, spare you from death!"

"Hahaha...... You are Annan's spies, so I won't be fooled! Soldiers, kill them, and each will be rewarded with ten gold! "Xiang is like madness.

"If you seek death yourself, you can't blame me. Xiang Mu Tou, colluded with the people of Annan, raised his own respect, lied about his military exploits, refused to be tried, instigated rebellion, sentenced to behead without amnesty, and executed immediately! The messenger pointed directly at Xiang Mu Tou and announced the verdict in a loud voice.

"Hahaha...... This is my territory! Who can kill me! Who dares to kill me! Hahaha...... "Xiang Motou raised his head and laughed

Suddenly, his laughter stopped, and he looked down to see the bright tip of the knife shining through his chest, and turned his head with difficulty to see the man behind him, his eyes full of doubts.

Before he could open his mouth to say something, he saw the long knife raised, the knife flashed, a head rolled to the ground, the corpse fell down, and the blood rushed out three feet.
