Guo Ye said: "King Jiangxia, don't be too happy. I have studied the "Zhenguan Law", and not all gambling behaviors are considered illegal. For example, in order to encourage the courage of the army, archery and gambling are not among them. ”

"So what? Could it be that you still have to compete with this king in archery? ”

"Certainly not more than archery. But things are different and the same, for the victory of the Tang army, how about we bet on the siege? ”

"Siege? How to bet on siege? ”

"King Jiangxia, we don't talk darkly. This time, you were a pioneer, breaking through several cities in a row, and making a lot of money for yourself, right? ”

The looting of the Tang army was almost a semi-legal act, but when it was brought up in front of the emperor, Li Daozong still felt quite embarrassed and said, "Actually...... Actually, there aren't much. ”

"Not much? You speak with your conscience, and according to my estimate, the value of this wealth must be about two million yuan. King Jiangxia, you are fighting for this pioneer position, I'm afraid it's for a huge amount of money, right? ”

"Yes and what, and what is not?"

"That's easy. Next, we should capture Jian'an City, and I will make a bet with you, counting from the time the soldiers come to the city, I can break Jian'an City in three days. If I lose the bet, then the position of pioneer will be given to you. ”

"What if you win?"

"Your two million dollars of wealth are mine! How? keeps saying that you look down on our Guo Ye's siege skills, do you dare to make this bet with me? ”

"This ......"

His Majesty Li Er was quite interested in this gamble, and said, "King Jiangxia, you don't just have a hard mouth, in fact, you are very jealous of Qin Guogong's siege technique in your heart, right?" ”

"How is that possible? I just think that this is a pioneer position, and it is too childish for Weichen and Qin to teach each other privately. Besides, it's not in accordance with the rules. ”

"How is it not in order? The rules are not set by people. In this way, I am willing to witness the bet between the two of you, Guo Ye wins, and you take out the property worth two million yuan. If you win, I will give you back the position of pioneer. Whoever wants to cheat is not to give me face. ”

"Then ......" When it came to this, Li Daozong could only nod his head and say, "Just according to what Your Majesty said." ”

Guo Ye said: "Please also establish a word as a basis." ”

"As it should be."

His Majesty Li Er immediately wrote a gambling contract with his own handwriting, and covered his jade seal, and said, "Please sign it, two of you." ”

……

……

Five days later, the Tang army had arrived at the city of Jian'an.

Guo Ye called Xue Rengui to him and said, "Marquis of Jiangzhou, I will hand over the task of attacking Jian'an City to you." Don't let me down, after the deed is done, I will share half of the two million yuan of money. ”

"I'm not afraid of war, and it's good that you're willing to share my money. But ......" Xue Rengui said with a bitter face: "Breaking the city in three days, this is also a little too difficult." There's not much confidence in the bottom. ”

"Don't worry, I've got a good thing for you, and with it, it's easy to break the city."

"What's that?"

"Thunderball."

"Thunderbolts? Isn't that thing buried in the ground? Xue Rengui said strangely.

Guo Yedao: "What is buried in the ground? I think that when we were in Qianzhou City, we were the one who defended the city, so we buried the thunderbolt outside the city. But now that the offensive and defensive forces are changing, of course, there is no need for this. Let me tell you the truth, this thing is much better for siege than for defense. ”

"Even so, the power of the thunderbolt doesn't seem to be great, can it really break the city in three days?"

"This thunderbolt is different from the previous one, but it uses special gunpowder, which is extremely powerful. I'll still say more about breaking the city in three days, maybe the city will be broken in one day. ”

"If you're right, I'm not going to be a millionaire soon?"

"Exactly!"

……

……

Early the next morning, in the tent of the Chinese army.

Guo Ye held the document in his hand, triumphant, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is fortunate not to be dishonored, Jian'an City has been broken!" With two million dollars, you can call the shots for me. ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "King Jiangxia, if you are willing to lose the bet, you will hand over the money to the Duke of Qin later." ”

"This ......" two million yuan of money, wouldn't that cost Li Daozong's life? He cried and said, "Can't you be accommodating?" ”

"Huh? This bet is about me being a Chinese person, doesn't the king of Jiangxia want to give me face? ”

"Weichen didn't dare, but ...... Just ......"

Li Daozong's mind was racing, and he said in a hurry: "Okay, I am willing to gamble and lose, these two million yuan of money will be regarded as Qin Guogong's." But ......"

"How?"

"Weichen has another proposal, I hope Your Majesty will approve it."

"You say."

"Wechen wants to make another bet with Qin Guogong, if Qin Guogong wins, not only will these properties belong to Qin Guogong, but Weichen will also give Qin Guogong another family property worth two million yuan."

"Then what if Qin Guogong loses?"

"Even if the previous gambling contract is invalidated, the two million yuan of money is still Weichen's."

Guo Yedao: "I don't know what bet you want to make with me?" ”

"In front of it is Anshi City, which is built on the mountain, and the city is small and has many soldiers. I wonder if Qin Guogong can break the city in three days? ”

"You mean, you want to bet with me on breaking the city for three days?"

"Exactly."

His Majesty Li Er said: "According to the news from the army's careful investigation, this city is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. Not to mention three days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conquer even ten days, or even a month. King Jiangxia doesn't want to be strong. ”

"How can this be considered a strong man? Qin Guogong: Is that an ordinary person? He is the pioneer officer of our Datang. If others can't do it, how can he not do it? If he can't do it, why not abdicate and make way for Xian? ”

Guo Ye sneered: "King Jiangxia doesn't have to be excited. You're forcing me to agree to a gambling contract, and you want to turn it over, right? Hehe, I'm not going to let you get your wish. Your Majesty, I can't break the city of Anshi in three days, but if I give me a month, this city will be broken. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "A month is fine, I'm ready." As for the other gambling contract, since Qin Guogong did not agree, I couldn't force people to make it difficult, so I gave up. King Jiangxia, the two million pieces of wealth will still be given to the Duke of Qin later. ”

Li Daozong was anxious and said, "A month is a month." Weichen just wants to make a bet with Qin Guogong to break the city of Anshi in a month, this is always okay, right? ”

"Qin Guogong, what do you think?"

"The king of Jiangxia is willing to send money, how can Weichen not accept it? It's still the old rule, please be a Chinese person, let's limit it to one month, and Weichen will take Anshi City. ”

"Okay, take the four treasures of the study, and I will make a covenant for you immediately."

……

……

Anshi City, Guo Ye knows too well. In history, His Majesty Li Er's first Eastern Crusade failed, to a large extent, because this city was too difficult to attack.

It is a mountain city, the terrain is very dangerous, under the city wall, almost all are cliffs, what catapults, building cars, siege vehicles, there is no place to put it! It is the smallest ladder, and there are not many places that can be erected safely.

It seems that the only way is the old rule, the ants attach themselves to the city. But don't forget, this city is not built of bricks, it's a stone city! The walls are so smooth that even climbing them is difficult.

In the end, Tang Jun thought of a stupid way to pile up dirt into a mountain. Finally, when the earth mountain is about as high as the city wall, you can attack the city as if it were on the ground.

The plan was not bad, but when it came to execution, there was a slight mistake. Just as the earth mountain was about to be piled up, it suddenly collapsed. What is good is that at this time, Fu Fuai, the guard general of the Tang Army, left his post without permission.

Yang Wanchun, the defender of Anshi City, seized the fighter plane and sent a death squad of several hundred people to occupy Tushan.

By this time, the middle of winter is approaching. Obviously, at this time, the Tang army did not have enough time to build another dirt mountain, so it could only retreat.

This is the battle of Anshi Castle in history.

This time, Guo Ye attacked the city, because there was enough time, as long as he "repeated the old tricks".

Now a generation of famous generals Yang Wanchun has been fooled to Seoul by him, and the situation is much better than at the beginning.

As long as you are careful when piling up the dirt mountain, you can ensure the quality of the project. Then send elite soldiers and strong generals to garrison this mountain, so as not to give the Goguryeo people a chance. Conquering this city is a sure thing.

The facts did not disappoint Guo Ye either.

Just at the head of the twenty-third day, the city of Anshi was broken!

Although Li Daozong was unwilling, in the end, under the persecution of His Majesty Li Er, he sent the two million guan of property to Guo Ye's camp, and also gave him an IOU of two million guan.

Guo Ye looked at Li Daozong's painful appearance, and couldn't help but show a fox-like smile, and said, "King Jiangxia, don't be so discouraged. Money is something outside the body, and it is not brought by life or death. ”

"Fart! Fart! Li Daozong said angrily: "Don't get cheap and sell well, don't say cool things to me." You win, what if you lose? Can you be so open-minded? ”

"Hey! What wins and loses. As the saying goes, if you gamble, you don't lose, if you lose this time, won't you just win it back next time? ”

"Next...... Next time? ”

"Yes, next time. Do you dare to bet with me again? ”
