(Explain again, Wang Cheng who appeared in the previous Zhang Yang sweeping the outer city of Pingzhou should be changed to Wang De, I don't know if you still remember this person, this is my negligence, of course, there is no zài Wang Cheng and Ji Zhao's cooperation again, so some things there should be changed, but because it is a VIP chapter, it is not easy to modify, and I don't want to trouble, so here is hereby explained again, everyone knows it, and I hope don't blame it; By the way, I helped a friend to promote the book: "Official Business Fengyue", the author "looks forward to the rise", the book number is 2641125, urban officialdom, if you are interested, you can take a look; Finally, of course, these word counts are not included in the charge, hehe~)

Wang Cheng stood outside Jinyang City, proudly in the temporary military camp of Bingzhou, and his heart was full of emotion again.

To be honest, Wang Cheng thought about wearing "sin" to make meritorious service, but he never thought that Wen Hou would suddenly give him such a big authority one day, and the entire army of 10,000 was handed over to him in this way, although there was still a certain gap with Zhang Liao's more than 10,000 people and Gao Shun's more than 20,000 people, but for him, this number was definitely a lot, not to mention that the soldiers and horses that Lu Bu could directly control now under his hands were not more than 60,000 when they were full - those in Wuyuan County had to wait until they got there to receive it from Chen Gong, and they would take out one-sixth of it and hand it over to him to command. That's a lot of trust.

From this moment on, Wang Chengcheng swore from his heart that in order to be worthy of Wen Hou's trust, he would definitely not be able to disappoint him this time, and before he knew it, Lu Bu had completely gained the loyalty of a capable general.

At this time, Wang Cheng covered his eyes and brows, and looked at the big city in front of him from here, which he didn't know how many times he had looked like this in the past few days.

Jinyang is the largest city in Taiyuan County, in fact, it is one of the best in the entire state, after all, it was once the state of the state, and from the perspective of city construction, this city is not the kind of small city in Pingzhou can be compared, not only there is a moat more than two zhang wide outside to surround the arch guard, and the lowest side of the four city walls is not less than three zhang high, for Wang Cheng and them. First of all, it's not easy to cross the moat. Not to mention such a high wall.

As Zhang Yang got the news, most of Wang Cheng's men and horses belonged to the cavalry, and Wang Cheng had no intention of hiding this, it was true that the cavalry was not good at attacking the city, not to mention that they were in a hurry and did not bring any siege equipment, but they themselves did not come for the purpose of attacking the city.

But since it's a siege point, if this point is not in danger. It was also difficult to attract enough reinforcements, so although Wang Cheng did not directly attack the city, he used some other means to achieve the general effect of besieging the city.

For example, they first controlled the gates on all sides of Jinyang, forced the guard Yang Chou to close the gates and prohibit them from entering and leaving, and then spread rumors in the city through various channels. Or it can't be all rumors, at least it's true that their army has besieged the city.

Originally, the reduction of the garrison in the city was obvious to everyone, and at this time, 10,000 troops were approaching the city, even if there was no movement to attack the city, it would make them frightened and frightened by their lack of security, and the panic of these people also affected those defenders, after all, they themselves were from Jinyang City, so they were naturally more likely to be fettered by family affection. And they know more about the inside story than ordinary people. Knowing that at this time, their envoy Zhang Yang had already withdrawn most of the troops in the county, and the remaining garrisons in the entire county were less than the average number of troops trapped outside the city. So the pressure on them will be greater, but after all, they are trained soldiers, and they can still be restrained to some extent, but it is obvious that a pessimism has begun to permeate the army.

This is just one of them, it is psychological tactics, and on the other hand, after Wang Cheng set up camp in the army, he ordered people to look for various materials nearby to make a gesture of making siege equipment, which made the defenders at the head of the city nervous.

It wasn't until he finally waited for the local reinforcements of Taiyuan County that the two roads were near, and after annihilating them by various means such as setting up ambushes, he transported the corpses to the city of Jinyang, and some of the captives also let them kneel outside the city of Jinyang, and told the defenders in the city of their danger with such cruel facts, and then naturally it was a round of demagogic attack on the heart, and the effect achieved was also very obvious.

Jinyang City is now guarded by Zhang Yang's henchman Yang Chou, Jinyang's position is extremely important, if this time the gamble is the first place in Zhang Yang's heart, then Jinyang's safety is placed in the second place, and he is not at ease when it is handed over to others.

Yang Chou is a big man with a length of seven feet and nine, and he has a halberd of more than 30 catties, he is at the head of Jinyang City at this time, looking at the military camp outside the city, he is also worried.

Although on the first day, when the other party's unfamiliar face called for battle, he also scolded and laughed at the other party, but in fact, the worry in his heart has always been there, and it was just an argument, and he didn't have much confidence.

For Zhang Yang to go on the expedition at this time, he also belonged to the ranks of opposition, and he was not only in terms of the disadvantages of the march, but also from their interior.

Zhang Yang led the troops to fight can only be said to make a little sense, but he has a unique way of governing the place, when he was able to fight with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao in the Bingzhou army, it is not so much that he also has a henchman, it is better to say that he has helped Ding Yuan a lot, and for the sake of balance, he was entrusted with a heavy task, but since the defeat and return of the battle of the Tiger Prison in the first year of Chuping, Zhang Yang has ignored many government affairs under his rule, and left it to the officials of all sizes to do their own business, although major matters still have to be reported to him and decided by him, But many times, many things are actually undecided, but they feel that they are not qualified enough to let Zhang Yang make decisions, and hidden dangers are buried.

Today's Taiyuan officials actually have a harbinger of chaos, and Zhang Yang was fine when he was still in town, but now as soon as he leaves, those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will all jump out, compared to these enemy troops outside the city, this is the problem that Yang Chou is most worried about.

No matter how solid the fortress is, it is often broken from the inside, the most typical is in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the reason why such a strong country as Qi, Chu, and Zhao were defeated was largely internal, not to mention that Yang Chou can even feel that the military spirit of the defenders in the city is also a little unstable, which is naturally the effect of Wang Cheng's repeated attack on the heart.

It can be said that under the internal and external troubles, Yang Chou is so anxious that his hair is almost white, he can only pray that Zhang Yang will come back soon, otherwise it is better to send back reinforcements all the way, as long as there are reinforcements, the soldiers and civilians in the city see hope, and the morale of the people will naturally gradually return, and those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods will also stop moving, and Jinyang will regain calm.

So day after day, he stopped paying attention to the movement on the distant horizon, hoping that one day he could see the surging army rushing over, waving the banner of the Zhang Yang Army.

It's a pity that he waited day after day, and five days after he sent out the battle report, he still didn't see any reinforcements, and there was not even any news coming.

Originally, he had always thought that there would be reinforcements to come back to defend the city, but at this time, even his own heart couldn't help but waver, did the envoy have given up on us, or did he have ...... He was a little unexpected, but at this moment, there was a news on the other side that he didn't want to hear at this time, it was a battle report from Shangdang County...... (To be continued.) )
