Gu Ziyuan gritted his teeth, raised his head and argued forcefully: "Even if I can't beat it on the battlefield, it's always okay to stick to the deep ditch and stick to it without fighting, Wang joined the army, do you think that a big battalion like me, if your Sui army wants to attack strongly, it will be so easy to attack?" ”

What Wang Huaqiang wanted was Gu Ziyuan's momentum to soften, and he laughed: "General Gu, you have fifty or sixty thousand people, surrounded by the city, as long as our army attacks one of your camps, such as the camp in the east or west of the city, the defense is far less solid than your camp in the north of the city, it must not be too difficult, and most of the people who come to you are rabble who have not really seen the war, and they are afraid that they will not be able to survive for an hour."

If you live in peace with us now, everyone is safe, and people come to you every day, and in two or three months, maybe you will be able to gather 100,000 people, and it will be more convenient to negotiate with the court about the conditions for recruitment, so why not?

If you force General Huangfu to open the city and fight with you, if you can't hold the camp at that time, your subordinates will fall apart, and then you will have no of these subordinates, whether you go to Gao Zhi or want to recruit An, you will have no capital, only a dead end, right, General Gu? ”

The muscles on Gu Ziyuan's face trembled, this is indeed the thing he is most afraid of, in this small chaotic world in the south of the Yangtze River, there are soldiers in his hands, he is not panicked, without this capital, he will definitely not live for three days, he also said in a low voice: "Even if I send cattle and wine into the city, how can your general Huangfu recruit me?" Keeping me and my men safe? He is not the emperor of your Sui Dynasty, so he is not qualified to open this condition. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, he knew that the opportunity to write a blank check had come again: "The general might as well withdraw the siege, and the main force will be concentrated in the north of the city." Our army does not go out of the city. Rebels from all sides will come to you. General Huangfu will send people to Jiangbei to report the matter to the general of the Jiangnan Provincial March, the general of the counterinsurgency army, Marshal Yang Suyang, the general of the counterinsurgency army.

When the time comes, I can show you the official letter written by General Huangfu to Marshal Yang, which commends you for your loyalty and asks for an official position for you. If you see such an official document, you should be relieved. ”

Gu Ziyuan blinked: "If it is the Duke of Yueguo, he has this power, but he has a large army in Jiangbei, and he has not been able to cross the river for more than half a year, I really don't know what he wants, even if General Huangfu intercedes for me, he will definitely agree?" ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "General Gu is too worried, when the Duke of Yue Guo pacified Nanchen, he went down to Jiangling for thousands of miles. All the captured Nanchen officers and soldiers along the way were released, and the Nanchen officers and generals who surrendered voluntarily were all promoted to officials. If you have concerns about others, you should be fully assured about Yue Guogong.

To be honest, he has a heavy army and does not move forward, he is afraid that first, he will give the rebels from all walks of life a chance to fight anyway, and secondly, he also hopes that the veterans of your division will be tired, and he will wave his army across the river again and strike a thunderous blow.

Besides, General Huangfu was trapped in the lonely city for three months, and when the time came, the letter exaggerated the general's strength, saying that it was 100,000 people, and his own situation was a little worse, such as the cut off of foreign aid for grain and grass, and the killing of horses and grass in the city to survive. ”

Gu Ziyuan's heart moved, and he almost wanted to stand up, but he still frowned: "I'm afraid that if I really want to recruit An, my subordinates will not agree, Wang joined the army, you just said, if these people don't listen to my orders and lead their troops to leave on their own, I will have no one here, and I will have no capital to recruit An." ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed with green light: "General Gu, I don't know your situation here, don't lie about it, but I think that most people killing officials and rebelling are just a moment of righteous indignation, just like that Liu Yuanjin, if it weren't for his brother being killed, there would not be such a big hatred, these people are only a minority after all, as long as most people can live and work in peace and contentment, how can they be willing to fight and kill, now that the Chen Dynasty is dead, the three of them are self-reliant as kings, and if they don't establish the Chen Dynasty clan, they have lost their reputation in righteousness, and it is only a matter of time before they fall, Who would be so stupid as to walk knowing it's a dead end?

So if you really oppose Zhao'an, General Gu might as well let them go, there won't be many people, and it is impossible to affect the general's plan to recruit an because of a few thousand people, don't worry, I will let General Huangfu write clearly, you didn't wave your army to attack the city, you have made great achievements, and Yue Guogong will not fail to take this into account. ”

Gu Ziyuan gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind: "Wang joins the army, I am tempted by what you said, but your method takes time, and I also need a reason to withdraw from Suzhou, otherwise now my subordinates feel that our army still has an advantage and refuse to surrender, can you help me think of a good way?" ”

Wang Huaqiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and took out the lines at the bottom of the box: "General Huangfu has already thought about this, in order to further show our sincerity, I can say that I have come to ask the general to surrender, because there is a shortage of food and medicine in the city now, it is difficult to continue, our army is willing to surrender to you, but because you killed a while ago, our army lacks a sense of security, so now we can't open the city gate immediately and put down the weapon."

In order to win the trust of our army, you General Gu first released goodwill to each other, just like today, our army opened the city to release people, and you did not take the opportunity to attack the city, which is very good, the next second step, our army will open the city and release people, you prepare some cattle, sheep and wine to send into the city to show goodwill, it is considered the income of the exchange of hostages, presumably Liu Yuanjin and others can't put forward a reason to object.

Next, I will arrange for General Huangfu to meet you at the head of the city, and then you can negotiate with him on the terms of opening the city and surrendering, and General Huangfu will bargain with you, such as asking you to withdraw the siege, leave a passage out of the city, and then lead 5,000 people to withdraw back to Jiankang.

General Gu, when the time comes, Suzhou City will be left to you, if you capture this important town in the south of the Yangtze River, presumably the rebels from all sides will come to you, you can completely break away from high wisdom and stand on your own, and when the army of Yue Guogong arrives, it is logical for you to take the initiative to accept Zhao'an. What do you think of my plan? ”

Gu Ziyuan thought about it carefully, this plan was seamless from beginning to end, nothing could be faulted, and he always had soldiers in his hands and took the initiative, even if Huang Fuji took the initiative to flee Suzhou, he could enter the city without bloodshed, and he could also shock Jiangnan, no matter how you look at it, you will not suffer. So his face, which had been tense, finally stretched, and he smiled: "Wang joins the army, is this plan proposed by General Huangfu himself?" ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Yes, General Huangfu himself proposed this plan, he said that if General Gu is willing, after the siege is withdrawn, before our army opens the city and returns to Jiankang, I will send you the letter that he is going to transfer to the Duke of Yue, and you will decide whether to let our army out of the city after you see the letter." ”

Gu Ziyuan finally showed a smile: "Wang joined the army, you really worked hard, okay, just do what you said, now please go back to the city, and tell General Huangfu that I agree with his plan, and after three days, I will mobilize enough livestock to meet him under the city." When the time comes, continue according to your plan. ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go back, and I'll be responsible for the contact between the two sides during this time." ”

Gu Ziyuan stood up and said to one of the two pro-soldiers on the right who had been standing behind him: "Zhu Xie, help me send Wang Senjun out of the city." The yellow-faced man named Zhu Xie, about 20 years old, led Wang Huaqiang out.

The other soldier, who was about thirty-four or five years old, looked a little old, and looked like a white-faced scholar, kept frowning and did not speak.

Gu Ziyuan turned his head and smiled at this person: "Mr. Xu, what do you think about this?" ”

This person is Xu Deyan, the prince of the original Chen Dynasty, who also followed Gu Ziyuan this time, and was thought to be the mastermind and confidant by Gu Ziyuan, he sighed and said: "Dashuai, I see that this person is full of lies, just to lure our army to Huangfu Ji to make way for an escape, Uncle Zhang saw with his own eyes that the granary in the city was on fire last night, and there was only a bean cake mixed with sand for breakfast today, and the Sui army could not defend it." ”

Gu Ziyuan smiled "hehe": "Ben Shuai has already seen this person's tricks, just now he was just a false and wrongful snake with him, as soon as the five thousand soldiers and horses of Huangfu Ji leave the city, we will destroy them in the field battle, which is much easier than attacking the city!"
