The main force of the Mongols came to the city of Jizhou an hour later than Lu Jin's previous judgment, and it was not until near evening that the army finally settled down more than five miles outside the city.

However, this time it was obviously much calmer than before, and did not immediately give the order to attack, but let the whole army rest on the spot, and after a while, a cluster of bonfires were lit up in the Mongolian camp, and simple yurts and tents were erected on the spot, obviously this time the other side was going to be patient to attack the city. And this is naturally not the situation that the defenders of Jizhou want to see.

The Mongolian soldiers were busy camping and preparing food, and it was naturally impossible for him to be idle as the commander of the three armies, so he immediately called Bohur to ask about the previous situation. When he heard that he had fought with the Ming army and won a big victory, he nodded with some satisfaction, but when he heard the report later, his face sank: "You said that the general soldiers of Jizhou were not killed?" Still in the city at this time? ”

"Exactly, this is what one of my newly captured Ming generals who claimed to be Shi Qingyan, the deputy chief soldier of Jizhou, confessed." Bohuer immediately turned around, and asked someone to bring Shi Qingyan, who was tied up with five flowers, into the tent and put it in front of Yexian.

Ye Xian's gaze first swept over the prisoner who was already kneeling on the ground, and saw that the other party's armor was indeed much better than that of the ordinary Ming army, so he also believed it for three points, and said in a fairly proficient Chinese: "You are the deputy chief soldier of Jizhou?" Do you have any credentials? ”

The pressure on Yexian's body was much stronger than that of Bohuer, and in the process of being stared at and scrutinized, Shi Qingyan was even more nervous, but he didn't even dare to take a breath of air. It wasn't until he heard the inquiry that he hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "The last general is ...... There is a waist card as proof. ”

Bohuer nodded hurriedly and said, "I did find a bronze waist plate from him. But we don't recognize the Han Chinese characters. As he spoke, he turned around and asked people to present all the things that were searched from Shi Qingyan's body.

A purse, a sachet, and a shiny brass waist plaque. He immediately picked up the waist card and squinted at it, and then nodded: "You are really the deputy chief soldier in Jizhou City!" The tone was full of contempt. Because the other party's trembling appearance is too weak, the Mongolian people have always looked down on such guys.

However, at this time, his focus was not here, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "You raise your head and speak." Let me ask you, are the chief soldiers in Jizhou City really alive? ”

"No...... Not bad. Just a few days ago, we planned to put him to death, but the result was ......" Shi Qingyan was quite self-aware as a prisoner, and immediately told everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans, for fear that any reservation would provoke the anger of the other party.

"Then tell me, what kind of person is this Lin Lie?" After knowing that the main general of the city was still there, he was naturally a little disappointed in his heart, but now that the soldiers and horses have come here, there is no possibility of retreating. Otherwise, let alone winning the surrender of the Duoyan tribe, even other tribes will have two hearts because of this. Fortunately, now that an important general of the Ming army has been captured, he can have a detailed understanding of Jizhou City and prepare accordingly for the next siege.

But this time, Shi Qingyan fell into hesitation: "This ......"

He is not a stupid person, and he immediately understood the other party's intentions, which was to ask the truth of the city from his mouth, so as to prepare for the next city break. And in this way, he will completely become a traitor to the Ming Dynasty, once known, not only his reputation will be ruined, but even his relatives who are still in his hometown may also ...... He also knew one thing that once he said the information about Lin Lie, there would be no turning back at all.

Seeing his embarrassed look, he immediately understood his concerns, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my Wara is rising now, and it is also the time to employ people, as long as you can make great contributions to me in the battle to capture Jizhou City, I will definitely not treat you badly." Do you know that when I sent him, I told him to send a message to the soldiers and civilians of the city, that if they were willing to open the city and surrender, this time we would not hurt a single person or take any property. ”

When Shi Qingyan heard this, he was a little disapproving, with the Tartars always fighting wherever they wanted, and grabbing where they were, how could they abide by such an agreement? Moreover, what is your attitude towards Jizhou City, and what does it have to do with me?

Seeing that he was still silent, Ye Xian's face immediately sank: "Of course, if Jizhou City dares to defend it, we will still slaughter all the men in the city after the city is broken!" If you refuse to cooperate with me, then this killing will start with you, the deputy commander-in-chief. Someone is coming——! ”

As soon as he stopped drinking, several fierce and sturdy men immediately lifted the curtain and entered, reaching out to drag Shi Qingyan. This action immediately frightened him into screaming, and then he slammed his head and kowtowed: "I said, as long as I know, I will tell the Taishi!" "At this time, it's more important to save your own life, and we'll talk about the rest later.

"Then answer quickly, I don't want to ask a second time!" He also shouted immediately, and at the same time, with a wave of his hand, he asked the guards to withdraw from the tent.

So far, Shi Qingyan has no other choice, so he can only reply with a bitter face: "I am actually not too familiar with Lin Lie, I only know that he has always been cautious and steady, and after learning about Tartar...... After your army attacked, it had ordered all the troops to guard the four cities, and the deployment of troops and horses was also orderly. In addition, although he had no experience in garrisoning border passes before, he had several experiences in counterinsurgency in the south, so he should be regarded as a somewhat capable general. ”

"And how is he better than you?" Bohur asked again.

"I ......" Shi Qingyan wanted to say that I was much better than him, and I only ended up like this because of bad luck, but he didn't dare to say this after all, so he could only answer honestly: "The last general is naturally not as good as General Lin, and this time it is also because I advocate sending troops to attack you, so I ......" At this time, he really regretted it, he knew that this was the case, and he should have pushed this military order even if he was pretending to be sick at that time.

He also fell into contemplation first, so it seems that it is indeed not easy to break through this Jizhou City. Especially when he wanted to focus on stability before, and missed the opportunity to enter the city in one go, the difficulty of storming the city became even greater.

But soon, another thought flashed in his heart, staring at Shi Qingyan: "Since you are the deputy general in the city, you should know quite well about the transfer of soldiers and horses, as well as the situation in the city, let's talk about it carefully, what are the flaws in this Jizhou City?" ”

"This ......" Shi Qingyan hesitated slightly, but after facing Shangyexian's long eyes full of majesty, he could only say everything he knew: "The city wall in the southeast corner of the city has not been repaired for many years, so it is the easiest to be breached...... There is a section in the northwest corner where the foundation is not strong, and it may be possible to dig through the tunnel using the technique of digging into the ground...... In addition, the defenders in the south of the city are much weaker than those in the north city in terms of strength and combat strength, and if you concentrate your forces to attack this side, it may be easier to break the city. He was indeed so simple that he actually told all the weaknesses and flaws of the entire city.

During this period, he had already taken a few steps to the extremely rudimentary map of Jizhou City, and compared his hand back and forth according to the other party's words, thinking about weighing the feasibility of attacking the city.

After a long while, he turned around, and his face had become smiling again: "Okay, General Shi really has a deep understanding of Jizhou's city defense, and with your help, we have a little more certainty of taking Jizhou this time, and this is all your credit." ”

This compliment fell into Shi Qingyan's ears but made him entangled for a while, this is treason, once the city knows about his actions this time, I am afraid that they will eat themselves alive. But judging from the other party's appearance, at least he can save his life, which makes him a little happy, and the complex emotions are intertwined, which makes his expression a little weird, both like crying and laughing.

However, he didn't care about his strange reaction at all, and just said to himself: "So it seems that General Shi has been stationed in Jizhou for many years, right?" ”

"Indeed...... It's been more than a decade. ”

"So long? Then you should have a lot of henchmen in the army. Where are they now? As he spoke, he stared at the other party's face again.

This made Shi Qingyan shudder, he obviously already knew what the other party's intentions were, this was to let himself come forward to recruit the defenders, so that the soldiers would enter the city without blood. The other party is really wishful thinking, but in this way, isn't his charge of betraying the court completely confirmed? This made him subconsciously want to refuse Yexian's proposal, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't dare to speak, although the other party was still smiling, but there was a trace of killing intent in his eyes, as if as long as he refused, he would be dragged out and executed.

He also said slowly: "Although you said a lot just now, I still have doubts about it, after all, you Han people are the most cunning and can lie." Only when you can show your willingness to submit to me will I believe what you say. ”

As soon as this reason came out, Shi Qingyan had no way not to agree. Moreover, once a person breaks through a bottom line, he will completely fall, and then there will be no bottom line at all. And for Shi Qingyan, since he had already explained everything just now and had betrayed Daming and Jizhou, it seemed natural to do something next. Anyway, I've become a rebel!

Finally, after a period of embarrassment, he raised his head, glanced at Yexian, and said, "Dong...... The defenders of Dongcheng are my old department, and I have drawn several Qianzong and garrisons there, so maybe I can persuade them to surrender to the Taishi......"
