"Tell the lord, Dongcheng District has been taken."

"Tell the lord, Beicheng District has been taken."

"Tell the lord, Nancheng District has been taken."

……………………

A series of good news came, with Dong Min, the best general, personally acting as an internal response, the Shang army invaded the city of Luoyang with almost no effective resistance, easily controlled the outer city, and with the assistance of Dong Min, successfully forced down more than 2 million defenders in the outer city.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing, and bad news soon came.

"Tell the lord that the defenders of the inner city refuse to surrender, and at the same time refuse our army to enter the city, how to act, please tell the lord."

The lieutenant who was in charge of leading the attack on the inner city returned with a depressed face, and he was the only one in the army who returned in vain, which made him feel very embarrassed.

"Do you know who the inner city guards are?"

Shang Ji had long expected the refusal of the inner city to surrender, no matter whether it was Diao Chan or Dong Huang who controlled the city wall at this time, it was impossible to directly abandon the city and surrender.

"The lord forgives the sins, and the last general doesn't know, only that the general who guards the city seems to be a female general."

Okay, I've got it, you stand down for now.

Hearing that it was the female general who was guarding the city, Shang Ji nodded knowingly, and waved his hand to signal the captain to retreat.

In fact, as far as Shang Ji himself is concerned, he hopes that it is Dong Huang who controls the city wall now, compared to Diao Chan, Shang Ji subconsciously thinks that Dong Huang is easier to deal with.

It's just a pity that now it seems that Diao Chan has taken control of the situation.

Of course, Shang Ji couldn't just admit defeat so easily, on the one hand, he sent troops to attack the city, and on the other hand, he played the card of Dong Ming, and continued to give full play to Dong Min's advantages as the supreme commander of Luoyang City, trying to use his identity to deceive the inner city gate.

It's just that Shangji's abacus is playing very loudly, but Diao Chan is not a vegetarian anymore, just when Shang Ji was planning to prepare for action, Diao Chan's envoy has already come to Shangji's camp.

The person who came was still Mrs. Fan, who was familiar to Shang Ji.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Fan came just in time, our army has completed the agreement, and I also ask your army to fulfill the agreement and hand over Luoyang City to us."

Seeing Mrs. Fan, Shang Ji smiled and greeted her warmly.

Mrs. Fan bowed, bowed, and then said: "Let's mention the matter of dedicating the city later, this time the concubine came to bring a big gift to the general." ”

"Oh? Gift? I don't know what a gift is? ”

Smack!

Mrs. Fan smiled slightly, patted her bare hand, and a guard behind her immediately stepped forward, holding a one-foot-square box in his arms, which should contain the generous gift that Mrs. Fan claimed.

"Open this gift and ask Ning Hou to take a look."

Mrs. Fan's soft voice sounded, and the guards immediately took the order and opened the box when they heard this.

I saw that in the box was a human head still stained with blood!

The man's head was wide open, and his frozen eyes were full of disbelief.

Shang Ji frowned, snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "What does this mean?" Isn't Mo provoking the general? ”

Mrs. Fan bowed again and said with a smile: "Ning Hou misunderstood, how dare we provoke Ning Hou Huwei if we admire Ning Hou so much?" Although this may seem like a bit of a faux pas, it is a real gift. ”

After speaking, Mrs. Fan said again: "Ning Hou knows, whose head is this?" ”

Shang Ji had already guessed in his heart, but at this time, he pretended not to know, and said in a sullen voice: "Who is it?" ”

"This is Dong Zhuo's nephew, the status in Luoyang City is second only to Dong Min, and Hu Ben Zhonglang will be the head of Dong Huang!"

"I see, if it is Dong Huang's head, it can barely be called a generous gift. Your lord's wish would have been accepted, but now the most critical time is to fulfill the agreement as soon as possible and hand over Luoyang City to our army.

As Madame can see, this outer city of Luoyang will not bother your army, and the general will come to pick it up in person, and you only need to hand over the inner city to the general. ”

Mrs. Fan bowed again, and said with an unchanged expression: "Ninghou Rongyu, this Luoyang City cannot be delivered to you for the time being!" ”

"Huh? Waiting, you're playing the general."

Shang Ji frowned, snorted coldly, and asked angrily. At the same time, a majestic killing machine shrouded Mrs. Fan.

Mrs. Fan is also quite feminine, in the face of Shang Ji's murderous persecution, her expression remained unchanged, her face was calm, and she bowed and said: "General, we have a word first, we can give you Luoyang City, but you must not attack Luoyang City without authorization at the right time, before we take the initiative to hand over Luoyang City to you." Now it seems that you are the general, you are in breach of contract first. ”

"Hmph, quibble! What do you see fit? Could it be that you have always thought that the time was not right, so you have never handed over Luoyang to the general? Will Ben be a good bully? Ben will give you another chance to quickly hand over Luoyang City to our army, otherwise Hugh blames Ben for turning his face and not recognizing people. ”

In the face of Shang Ji's ultimatum speech, Mrs. Fan couldn't help but change her complexion, but she calmed down in an instant, looked directly at Shang Ji, and said without showing weakness: "We admire the general's prestige and respect the general, but the general must not think that we are women and will be at the mercy of the general, I believe the general has not forgotten the scene when the water was closed, right?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Liu Meng, Zhao Yun and others next to him shouted in unison, and some even pulled out their weapons and made threats.

It's just that in this way, Mrs. Fan became more calm, and looked at Shang Ji with a smile, a picture I expected that you would not dare to do it.

Well, Mrs. Fan really guessed correctly, Shang Ji really didn't dare to tear his face with Diao Chan easily.

There are two main reasons why most of the troops were not sent to storm the inner city, one is that the main force of the Shang Ji is all cavalry, which is not suitable for attacking the city. The second is that he is worried about the repetition of the scene on the water close.

Although many people have analyzed Diao Chan's magic technique of rebelling against one-tenth of the army in one fell swoop, there must be extremely strict restrictions, and it is impossible to reuse it in a short period of time. But Shang Ji didn't dare to gamble, the last time he was in the Bishui Pass, he could always run away if he failed, but here is in Luoyang City, there is no place to run even if he runs.

Even if Diao Chan does not have this skill, Shang Ji lacks heavy siege equipment at hand, and he will definitely not be able to forcibly break through the inner city in a short time, and once the time drags on for a long time, it is easy to have a scene of sandpiper and clam competing for fishermen's profits.

In general, now Shang Ji and Diao Chan are afraid of the wolf with a hemp stick, although Shang Ji can bluff and threaten and intimidate, but if Diao Chan can't make up his mind, he can also bluff Shang Ji.

"Huchen and Zilong retreat, don't be rude to your wife."

Shang Ji waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Yun and Liu Meng to put away their weapons.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fan also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, smiled, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "The little girl is reckless, thank you for the general's magnanimity." ”

This is where the gender advantage is reflected, if it is a male envoy, the atmosphere has collapsed so much before, even if it will not tear his face, then there will definitely be no way to talk about it anymore. But women are different, Mrs. Fan doesn't have to mind the problem of face at all, she simply bows her head and admits her mistakes, so that Shang Ji can't help if she wants to continue the previous topic.

"Lord, urgent military situation."

Just when God was pondering how to solve the impasse in front of him, suddenly a hurried voice came, but it was Chen Guan who came.

Chen Guan glanced at Mrs. Fan, ignored her, and came directly to Shang Ji's side, whispering a few words in his ear.

Shang Ji's expression changed greatly after hearing this, and he got up and said, "I think I will need to talk to your lord in person. ”
