"If the general can release General Yan Liang, this official has thanked the general on behalf of the Marquis of Ye." Tian Feng arched his hand.

Zhang Liao snorted coldly: "Let it go? How can it be so easy, Yan Liang led a large army to sneak attack Dangyin, resulting in the loss of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Bingzhou army, if the Marquis of Ye did not compensate the Bingzhou army, the general will send Yan Liang to Jinyang, which will be disposed of by the Marquis of Jin. ”

"I wonder how much compensation the general wants?" Tian Feng asked, feeling a little helpless in his heart, no matter what, Yan Liang was in Zhang Liao's hands, and Yuan Shao was quite serious to Yan Liang, as for sending it to Jinyang, if there was no order from Lu Bu, how could Zhang Liao talk about compensation.

"There are 500 elite cavalry among these thousands of soldiers and horses, and Lord Tian also knows that it is extremely difficult to train a cavalry, and a cavalry is worth 200,000 yuan, how many should 500 cavalry be? General Ben is a rough man, he doesn't understand this, so let's calculate it yourself after Lord Tian goes back, and there are five hundred foot soldiers, 100,000 yuan each. Zhang Liao said.

"Since the general is so insincere, this official will leave." Tian Feng arched his hand and said, if he agreed to Zhang Liao's conditions, even if he redeemed Yan Liang, he would become a sinner in Jizhou.

Zhang Liao smiled unexpectedly and said, "In this way, General Ben will not send it." ”

Tian Feng's footsteps paused slightly, and it was said that Zhang Liao should be bargaining at this time.

Seeing that Tian Feng had no intention of leaving, Zhang Liao said: "In fact, there is no shortage of money in Bingzhou, but Yanzhou and Yuzhou are drought, locust plagues are raging, and many refugees are flocking to Bingzhou. ”

"Two hundred thousand stone grain and grass?" Tian Feng even had the urge to kill, so much grain and grass was enough for the needs of 100,000 troops in a month, although Jizhou had so much grain and grass, he would definitely not take it out and give it to Jizhou at such a time.

"General Zhang, although Jizhou is rich, the territory has been repeatedly subjected to bandits, and the army has cost a lot, if the general is interested, how about the official promising 50,000 stone grain and grass?" Tian Feng said.

"Since this is the case, General Ben will take another step back, 150,000 stone grain and grass, but the Jizhou army is going to leave Hanoi." Zhang Liaodao.

"Hmph, General Zhang is joking, our army came from afar, how could it be that the army would retreat because of a general, Marquis Ye was ordered by the Holy Lord to go to Hedong, and General Zhang stopped him for no reason, aren't you afraid of Tianwei?" Tian Feng is colorful.

"It's just the words of Lord Tian's family, if there is a holy order, can there be a holy decree?" Zhang Liao said: "The Marquis of Jin is in charge of Hanoi, it is the order of the saint, and the angel also sent the holy decree to Jinyang, but the marquis of Ye ordered the generals under his command to sneak attack Dangyin for no reason, and now he is leading the army to come, are you not afraid of the saint's blame?" ”

"If the Jizhou army does not retreat, it needs to give 200,000 stone grain and grass to Bingzhou, this grain and grass, presumably Jizhou can still take it, if Lord Tian can't call the shots, please go back." Zhang Liao said, in fact, the bottom line given by Lu Bu is 100,000 stone grain and grass, but Zhang Liao wants to get more from Jizhou, 200,000 stone grain and grass, the number seems to be a lot, and when it is put on the body of the Bingzhou army, it is only enough for the needs of 70,000 troops in a month.

Of course, only the state army treats the soldiers so generously, and it is not easy for an ordinary princes' army to ensure that a soldier can guarantee two stones of grain and grass in a month.

"In this way, the official will take his leave."

After Tian Feng left, the generals in the army talked a lot, and many generals complained that Zhang Liao asked for too little grain and grass, and Zhang Wu even suggested that the next time Tian Feng went to the city, he would directly open a million stone of grain and grass.

The news brought by Tian Feng also aroused discussion among the generals and civil officials in the big tent of the Chinese army, 200,000 stone grain and grass, this amount is too big, especially the literati think that it is too worthless to pay such a huge price for a general, and only need to attack Dangyin, why not be able to rescue Yan Liang.

After being silent for a long time, Yuan Shao said slowly: "Order the three armies, attack Dangyin, and destroy the thieves as soon as possible!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao's attitude was unclear, everyone couldn't say anything, but the strategists in the tent saw that Yuan Shao didn't want to give food and grass to the Bingzhou army, as long as the army could capture Dangyin City, why not get Yan Liang.

The Jizhou army attacked Dangyin, within Zhang Liao's expectations, even if Yan Liang had a very high status in Yuan Shao's mind, he would not give up Hanoi because of a general, and losing Hanoi would be equivalent to losing the initiative on the battlefield in the future and occupying Hanoi and Hedong.

The Jizhou army adopted the method of encircling three and missing one, in order to make the Bingzhou army feel that there was a way out.

Under the impetus of the soldiers, the Jizhou army at the east gate is the most dense, which is also caused by the topography, if the other three gates are used as the main direction of attack, Dangyin is in the high ground, and the price of the attack is greater.

On the east gate, the defenders of Bingzhou are also the largest, and here, all the thunderbolts in the city are also gathered, a total of fifty.

When Lü Bu attacked Hedong, he secretly ordered the soldiers to transport fifty thunderbolts in Dangyin, in order to prevent Yuan Shao's army from raiding, which is also the reason why Lü Bu had confidence in Zhang Liao to defend Dangyin, although Dangyin City was not high, relying on five thousand soldiers and horses and thunderbolts to block the pace of Yuan Shao's army.

As for Yuan Shao sending a large army to bypass Dangyin and directly attack Chaoge, one is that Yuan Shao does not have the courage, and he has seen the strength of the Bingzhou cavalry, once Dangyin City cannot be attacked for a long time, the Jizhou army that raided Chaoge City will become a lone army, and once the cavalry cuts off the grain and grass of the Jizhou army, it will fall into a dilemma.

When the well was only two hundred and fifty paces from the city wall, the soldiers who controlled the thunderbolt were ready, and when the general gave the order, they would launch a formidable boulder, which had the advantage of the city, and the thunderbolt could shoot farther.

"Put!" When he visually measured the distance of the well to the city wall two hundred paces, Zhang Liao let out a loud shout, and fifty thunderbolts threw the first round of deadly boulders at the well outside the city.

The Thunderbolt is very powerful, and its shortcomings are equally obvious, not only the speed of the launch is slow, but also the accuracy is also poor.

Even so, fifty boulders flew from the city, which still caused panic among the Jizhou army, you must know that at this time there is still a distance of about two hundred steps from Dangyin, in their cognition, this is a safe distance, even if there is the advantage of the city, ordinary archers can only shoot a distance of one hundred and twenty steps at most, at two hundred steps, it is definitely a distance that is difficult for the defenders to reach, unless the other party has a sharp weapon such as a bed crossbow.
