Chapter 598: An Agreement Reached
Yuan Fang rolled his eyes: "Of course it doesn't include it, as long as it is your legitimate gain, we will not take it by force." Mu Qing let out a sigh of relief when he heard this, he really didn't care much about anything else, as long as his little savings could be kept, it was better than anything else.
Next, Yuan Fang and Mu Qing discussed some things again, Mu Qing said yes and went back, Tang Jian smiled and said: "It's okay now, Guangyuan City will be ours without a single soldier, Doctor Yuan, you are really amazing, I didn't dare to think of this kind of thing before." ”
Yuan Fang said modestly: "Didn't I also make a mistake, who knew that such an unbelievable thing would happen, especially that Dugufeng." ”
Shi Ping was surprised and asked, "Dugufeng?" Isn't he dead? Yuqing smiled faintly and briefly said Dugufeng's matter, Tang Jian and Shi Ping were dumbfounded when they heard it, and sighed again and again at the magic of the poison.
After a while, Shi Ping asked puzzledly: "Doctor Yuan, the other party has surrendered, what did you say to Mu Qing just now about attacking the city?" Do you still want to fight? ”
Yuan Fang glanced at Yuqing and shrugged his shoulders and said: "I think so, there are so many officials and generals in Guangyuan City, it can't all be soft eggs who are greedy for life and afraid of death, there must be many of them who are unwilling to surrender, if those people make trouble when we first enter the city, or even incite the defenders to resist, then we will be passive, so I plan to let Mu Qing and the city lord find out those who they feel are not the same as them, and let's allocate a part of our forces to deal with them, so it is safer." ”
Shi Ping smiled and said, "It's still Dr. Yuan who thinks thoughtfully. He said so, but Shi Ping thought in his heart that Yuan Fang was doing this purely because of this superfluous move, and if he didn't accept it, he would just kill him directly, so why bother to take care of it together.
Tang Jian didn't say anything, he vaguely guessed that Yuan Fang should have some kind of purpose in doing this, but what exactly he was going to do, Yuan Fang didn't say, and he couldn't ask.
Mu Qing met Guangyuan City, Yuan Fang did not pin all his hopes on him, the two armies fought, in order to win everything they could, who knows whether the city lord really intends to surrender, or whether it is a delaying tactic is not necessarily, so Yuan Fang was so anxious to attack Guangyuan City before, just didn't want to give the other party any chance to delay, if the other party really planned to surrender, the city lord should come to negotiate as soon as possible, if the other party is a delaying strategy, Yuan Fang is not afraid, he is sure to capture Guangyuan City within two days, so, During the period of waiting for the reply, Yuan Fang and Tang Jian discussed the siege strategy with a prepared attitude, how to reduce their own losses and achieve greater results.
The Taiji Legion, Tang Jian's Front Army, and Shi Ping's cavalry troops were stationed in the west, north, and northwest of Guangyuan City, respectively, and there were no troops of the Eastern Saint Empire outside the east and south gates of Guangyuan City, only the scouts of each unit were hidden in the shadows, waiting for their prey.
didn't let Yuan Fang wait for a long time, after Wang Yong listened to Mu Qing's report and scolded him, he quietly went out of the city from the east gate with a small team of henchmen, got in touch with the scouts waiting there, and made a detour to Yuan Fang's Taiji Legion camp, Dugufeng, also brought over by Wang Yong's guards.
In fact, Wang Yong didn't want to come to see Yuan Fang, not embarrassed, but afraid, he had seen it with his own eyes when Yuan Fang negotiated a sneak attack on Dugufeng, and he was indeed a little uneasy to see such a shameless and unruly guy, but the matter had come to this point, he had no choice but to come over hard.
What made Wang Yong breathe a sigh of relief, Yuan Fang was not as arrogant and domineering as he imagined, and he didn't turn his face on the spot, but smiled all over his face, giving people an indescribable affinity.
Welcoming Wang Yong into the big tent, Yuan Fang warmly invited Wang Yong to sit down, and the guards sent hot tea, seeing Mu Qing's eyes rolling wildly, he didn't have this kind of treatment just now, is the gap between himself and his brother-in-law really so big? No nonsense, after first determining Dugufeng's identity, Yuan Fang ordered someone to hand it over to the military doctor Wang Yiding, and let him see what was going on with this unlucky prince, after all, he provided those poisons.
Dealing with Dugufeng's matter, Yuan Fang became more and more enthusiastic, this is normal, before, I couldn't be sure if the other party really intended to invest, so I kept a straight face, but now it's different, people have expressed enough sincerity, and it can be regarded as a great contribution to Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang can't still speak coldly and coldly.
Speaking of which, some people may ask, Dugu Feng is the personal guard of the Ningyuan Empire, even if the three major guard legions of Ling Hu, Pang Ying and Gao Shun are destroyed, there should still be a not weak guard force around him, why was Wang Yong out of the city and handed over to Yuan Fang, the answer is very simple, Wang Yong is not an ordinary person, he is the city lord, Dugu Feng has been living in the city lord's mansion, most of the city lord's mansion are Wang Yong's people, it is not difficult for him to solve those guards silently, the fact is also true, Wang Yong is just a little trick, Poisoning Dugufeng's guards' food will solve it all, speaking of which, those guards are unlucky enough, their own master is highly poisoned and he doesn't know whether he lives or dies, and it has only been a few days, and they have also followed in the footsteps of their master.
With Wang Yong, a person who can call the shots, the negotiations between the two sides went quite smoothly, and after some consultations, the matter was quickly finalized, in addition to the conditions that Yuan Fang and Mu Qing said before, Wang Yong also agreed to cooperate with Yuan Fang to act in a play, which has great benefits for both Yuan Fang and Wang Yong.
That night, Wang Yong quietly returned with his guards, leaving Mu Qing as a hostage, which Wang Yong took the initiative to ask for, in order to show his sincerity, Yuan Fang naturally would not refuse, and he was entertained with delicious food and drink.
At dawn the next day, the soldiers at the head of Guangyuan County found that the enemy army under the city had begun to assemble all kinds of large objects that had never been seen before, it seemed that it should be some kind of siege equipment, and in the distance, there were many carriages carrying stones back and forth, piled up next to the trebuchets, looking at the terrifying number of large and small trebuchets, the defenders were horrified, and some people were even thinking about whether to flee as soon as the battle started.
Compared with the depressed morale of the defenders, Tang Jian's Dongzhou army was highly moraled, and the camp was in full swing, and the soldiers were not afraid of the cold, while polishing their weapons, laughing and talking, and from time to time they glanced at the city not far away. The time of the day passed quickly, and after a day of preparation, the siege equipment was all ready, just waiting for an order, Guangyuan City would surrender at the feet of the brave soldiers of the Eastern Saint Empire.
The army of the Eastern Saint Empire was so powerful that the morale was shocking, and the defenders in the city were silent, their eyes were full of fear, and their eyes glanced at the city gate from time to time, fearing that the enemy would rush in the next moment.
