For Sun Yan, Yang Wu has admired his name for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Sun Yan didn't seem to show much ability in defending Suzhou this time, Yang Wu knew that it was not Sun Yan's ability problem.
In fact, since ancient times, the most important thing in defending a city has been morale, and what is most needed to maintain morale is the hope of victory. Historically, Suzhou City was able to hold out under the siege of Zhou Ben for eight months, and finally defeated Zhou Ben in one fell swoop with the cooperation of reinforcements, that was because the political situation on Qian Biao's side was stable at that time, and there were many reinforcements, and they had the hope of holding on.
But now after the change of Wuyongdu, no one knows Qian Biao's own life and death, and the arrival of reinforcements is even more out of reach, coupled with the unprecedented blow of trebuchets, the morale of the defenders has dropped to the extreme.
At this time, no matter who was in Sun Yan's position, he had to go out of the city and destroy the trebuchet of the Huainan army. For Sun Yan, this was a choice that had to be made, either to venture out of the city and launch an attack, or to hold on to the city until morale collapsed completely.
And the Huainan army anticipated their actions in advance and set up an ambush, which defeated Sun Yan, so it cannot be said that Sun Yan's ability is not good.
Yang Wu, such a general who is good at defense, naturally wants to subdue him.
Hurriedly came to the front of the formation, and saw Zhu Siqing in front of him talking with a middle-aged military general wearing black armor, and his heart moved, and he felt that this person should be Sun Yan.
"This must be General Sun, right? In Xia Yang Wu, I have long admired the name of the general! ”
Sun Yan was asking Zhu Siqing about the situation in Hangzhou, and when he heard Yang Wu's self-registration number, he was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted: "Sun Yan, the general of the defeated army, has seen Gongzi!"
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and generals don't have to be like this!" Yang Wu said with a smile.
"I heard General Zhu say that yesterday's trebuchet that can fire hundreds of catties of stone projectiles was invented by Gongzi, I don't know if it's true?"
He really couldn't believe that the siege weapon that made him helpless yesterday was actually invented by the noble son in front of him.
Zhu Siqing said unhappily: "Naturally, my son-in-law invented it, will I still lie to you in the future?"
Yang Wu also laughed on the side, "It's just that some improvements have been made on the basis of the predecessors' stone machines, it's nothing!" ”
Sun Yan believed it at this time, he sighed and said: "Childe is too modest, it has been unknown how many years since the stone machine appeared, but others can't think of the method of improvement, but Gongzi can think of it, so I really admire it!"
His tone was sincere, although he was praising Yang Wu, no one thought that he wanted to slap Yang Wu.
"General Sun has won the award, since the siege of Suzhou by our army, the methods of siege are varied, but the general can adapt to the situation, so Yang Wu admires it. Please also ask the general to serve in the next place, and be entrusted with reuse in the next decision! ”
Sun Yan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Yang Wu to open his mouth to recruit him.
For him, allegiance to Yang Wu is also a good choice, after all, Yang Wu is the eldest son of King Wu, and he is quite talented, and he has more prestige in the Huainan army.
However, after all, he was born as Qian Biao's personal guard, and he was deeply favored by Qian Biao, and entrusted him with the important task of guarding Suzhou, and now he let the soldiers surrender because he did not want them to make senseless sacrifices, but he himself did not plan to take refuge in Huainan.
"Childe's love, I am grateful in my heart! But under the great grace of the king of Yue, he did not dare to betray the king of Yue! ”
Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this person had already ordered his subordinates to surrender, but he still refused his solicitation.
You must know that he is not the original when he recruited a Chen Yanqian at the beginning, and he was worried about being rejected. But now his prestige in Huainan is increasing day by day, and people with a discerning eye know that he will definitely be able to inherit the position of Huainan Jiedu envoy in the future, and he will naturally have a bright future at this time.
However, he praised Sun Yan even more for thinking about the old master, "General, don't refuse first, and listen to me." To tell the truth, the general is good at defending the city, so in the future, no matter whether the general is willing to serve me Huainan or not, he will not let the general go back to Liangzhejiang. And so it goes. Isn't the general's skill a waste? ”
Sun Yan was taken aback, he didn't expect Yang Wu to say it so bluntly, you must know that there were also generals in Liangzhejiang who were captured by Huainan and released again, so he also hoped to return to Liangzhejiang in the future after this surrender. But since Yang Wu said so, it is unlikely that he will go back in the future.
Thinking of this, Sun Yan's face couldn't help but sink.
Yang Wu said again: "Besides, Qian Biao is now difficult to protect himself, so why should the general go back?" Ben will also know that Qian Biao is kind to you, so as long as you promise to work for me, I will ask my father to recall Tian Yan. In this way, the general can also be regarded as repaying Qian Biao's kindness, and the general's skills can also be brought into play, so good? ”
Sun Yan couldn't help but hesitate, after all, he was only in his thirties, and it was a good time to make a contribution. Naturally, I don't want to be a rich man.
"I am willing to work for Childe, but I also ask Childe to agree to the next condition!"
Yang Wu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the conditions are, please ask the general to come and hear about it?"
"Zaixia's condition is that Zaixia will not be allowed to fight against the army of the king of Yue under any circumstances in the future. If Childe agrees to the request under the order. Then I will serve my son. Otherwise, I'd rather be a commoner than serve my son! Sun Yan said categorically, looking at Yang Wu with burning eyes.
"No problem!" Yang Wu agreed without thinking about it.
In his opinion, Sun Yan is an expert in defending the city, and in the future, he will definitely focus on attacking the city, and it will not have much impact without Sun Yan.
Sun Yan didn't expect Yang Wu to agree so quickly, after all, he is still just a nameless general, and he has not made a request before he has made an inch, just now he was ready to be rejected, at this time, he couldn't help but be moved, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Gongzi for understanding!" Subordinates meet Childe! ”
Yang Wu was completely relieved. There are many famous generals in Huainan, but there are very few who really belong to his lineage.
Like Zhu Siqing, their level is still low, and they still need to be cultivated slowly; At present, Yang Wu's subordinates are only Qin Pei.
Qin Pei was actively moving closer to him during this time, and Yang Wu was naturally happy to accept this change, and now he also treated Qin Pei like a confidant like Zhu Siqing.
With Qin Pei, Zhu Siqing and others, plus Sun Yan who had just been recruited, now he finally has some suitable generals under him.
At this time, Sun Yan took the initiative to say: "Now that Suzhou has no possibility of holding on, his subordinates are willing to persuade the defenders to surrender." It's just that I also asked Gongzi to order to treat the defenders and people in the city well, and I am grateful! ”
Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so cooperative, and actually offered to persuade the defenders to surrender, and immediately said with great joy: "General Sun is willing to persuade, so it's the best." As for the defenders and people in the city, General Sun, please rest assured that the general has always valued military discipline, and even if the general does not mention it, the general will treat the people well. ”
"In this way, Sun will be relieved!"
At this time, Zhou Ben and other generals also hurried over after hearing the news.
