Luo Cheng squinted at the yellow gold nugget in front of him.

The gold is made into a pig's kidney-shaped gold collar, not the kind of horseshoe-shaped gold ingots. However, the prince Ming who joined the army stepped forward to check it, and still showed Luo Cheng that although the quality of these gold is not particularly good, it is not bad, and it is absolutely no problem for such gold to be folded and eight-fold meat, and after weighing, it was found that the Goguryeo people were not short of catties and short taels, saying that one thousand taels of gold were actually weighed one thousand and eighty taels.

It's pretty honest.

He pursed his lips, "Tell me, is the city lord of the new city still Yang Wanchun?" ”

"Our city lord is indeed the city lord of Yang."

Murong Changsheng couldn't help but ask, "Isn't your city lord frightened now after his arm was cut off by our general?" ”

Wei Zheng shook his head.

"General, it seems that the situation in Xincheng is really very bad, if Yang Wanchun hadn't reached the point of exhaustion, it would be impossible for him to make such a decision, and use gold to negotiate peace to delay."

Luo Cheng waved his hand, "Wang joined the army, register this thousand taels of gold in the book, it is considered our capture, go back and take out four parts to reward the soldiers, and store the rest for later use." Then, he said to the messenger, "Go back and tell Yang Wanchun that I said that I would ask for 1,000 taels of gold and 2,000 taels of silver a day, so there would be no discount, and I said that this is only a day's margin." My withdrawal conditions are still the same, if Yang Wanchun agrees, just do it, if not, we will fight. ”

"Today is the first day of peacemaking, although you only gave a deposit of 1,000 taels, but even if I give you an opening discount, this 1,000 taels will be in charge of a day, you go back to reply to Yang Wanchun now, tell him that the truce of this 1,000 taels of gold can be until noon tomorrow, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer before noon tomorrow, then I will start fighting."

As soon as the envoy left, Luo Cheng asked Du Fuwei to lead his troops forward and make some preparations to attack the city.

"Yang Wanchun can't be so stupid, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay to scare them, Yang Wanchun has his plans, but Lao Tzu also has Lao Tzu's plans."

The envoy returned to the new city, Yang Wanchun heard the reply, gritted his teeth angrily, but he was helpless, who told him to be trapped in the new city now, and there were no reinforcements outside.

"It seems that Luo Cheng really intends to fight Xincheng, it is estimated that he is already sweeping our periphery at this time, and we must let Liaodong and Fuyu send troops to help, otherwise we will be alone and difficult to defend."

After thinking about it, Yang Wanchun called the messenger, you bring another thousand taels of gold to see Luo Cheng at this time tomorrow, and say that I am willing to pay the deposit according to the amount, and I want to negotiate peace, but I need some time to raise gold and silver, so let him give us more time.

"City Lord? Why give gold? ”

Yang Wanchun said angrily, "Gold is just a dead thing, what do you feel sorry for." ”

He can now drag on day by day, a little gold, and he can also test the bottom line of Luo Cheng's attitude, which is also conducive to him finding out Luo Cheng's true thoughts, and he feels that it is worth it.

The next day.

Luo Cheng received 1,000 taels of gold again, and this time after Wang Ziming weighed it, he found that there were 1,100 taels.

"This person is very interesting, send it again and again."

Luo Cheng just smiled, "Tell Yang Wanchun that I can give him another day, but there is only one day, no matter whether he gets the gold or not, I don't care, I will only give him one day." ”

The envoy left, and Luo Cheng asked Wei Zheng. "Xincheng seems to be at the end of its rope now, so don't worry that they will come out and fight hard. Send out the left and right compartments as well, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to thoroughly sweep the surroundings of the new city, grab what you can, grab what you can, and burn what you can't take away. ”

Luo Chengke didn't have time to really make peace with Yang Wanchun.

However, after hearing that Yang Wanchun intended to negotiate peace, he was very energetic.

He broke directly into Luo Cheng's military tent, "General, I am against sending troops to sweep at this time, I think that since Yang Wanchun has exhausted all his intentions to negotiate peace, then his peace negotiation is sincere, I think we should suspend the sweep and siege, and talk to Yang Wanchun seriously, if you can persuade Yang Wanchun to surrender, it will be a great achievement." ”

Luo Cheng looked at Yu Wenshi and smiled.

"Sima Wei, go and arrange it."

Seeing that Luo Cheng ignored him so much, Yu Wenshi couldn't help but blush, "General Luo, this official is personally authorized by His Majesty to accept the surrender of the Left Fifth Army, and I am fully responsible for the surrender of the surrender, and the general must not interfere, and must cooperate." ”

Luo Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Ambassador Yuwen, I don't interfere with you, if you have the ability to surrender, you will recruit, but you are only a surrender envoy and not the general of the Fifth Army, and you are not allowed to interfere with me in military operations.

The surrendered envoys of each army are specially responsible for recruiting and accepting rebels, and there is a faint intention to supervise the army.

It's just that this Left Fifth Army is considered to have been established by Luo Cheng single-handedly, and his prestige in the army is not comparable to that of Yuwenshi and this surrendered envoy who joined halfway.

Even if he was a surrendered envoy, his words could not even be broken into half a sentence.

If Luo Cheng doesn't step on him, then his words are a fart in this Left Fifth Army, not even a fart.

The next day, Yang Wanchun did not send anyone to deliver the gold again.

As soon as Luo Cheng waited for noon, he ordered Du Fuwei to launch an attack on the city.

Du Fuwei received the order, tentatively feint a few times, and fired a rain of bows and crossbows and arrows towards the city wall, although the rain of arrows only lasted for a few breaths, but it had already shot 10,000 arrows to the city, and this round of sudden arrow rain also shot dozens of Goguryeo people on the spot.

It's just that when they panicked, the Sui army had already withdrawn their troops.

After the rain of arrows, Yang Wanchun sent people out of the city again.

This time, he sent 1,000 taels of silver, and then the messenger cried that there was a shortage of gold and silver in the city, but he sent another 20 Goguryeo beauties.

Luo Cheng just coldly told the envoy that the siege would be officially launched tomorrow.

When the messenger came out of the tent, the scholar came and took the messenger to his tent, and after some talking, the messenger went out of the tent happily.

City.

Yang Wanchun listened to the words of Luo Cheng and Yu Wenshi relayed by the envoy, and said with a smile, "It seems that the Sui army is not monolithic, and this general and the surrendered envoy are obviously not in harmony, this may be our opportunity." ”

The next day.

Yang Wanchun did not send any more money.

He stood at the head of the city and waited until the sun was three poles, looking at the sky was not early, but the Sui army still did not move.

He laughed, "It seems that Sui Jun is just a paper tiger." ”

The laughter did not stop, and the Sui army camp under the city suddenly sounded with the sound of war drums.

In the sound of war drums, the Sui army drove countless Goguryeo people to the city, and under the supervision of bows and crossbows, these Goguryeo people who were swept and captured from the surrounding countryside were forced to carry soil and stones to the city and fill the deep trench.

"Grass!"

Yang Wanchun laughed and turned into anger, he never expected Luo Cheng to have such a bad move.

"What should I do?" A building lord looked at the dense Goguryeo people under the city and asked.
