Chi Bicheng eventually left with dissatisfaction and irritation. Please search (product % book ¥¥ net)!

Of course, he is very good at communicating, and he does not have any anger on his face, but always has a gentle smile.

It wasn't until he left the Taiping military camp with his entourage and changed his clothes again that he lowered his voice and cursed a few times.

The Taiping army is too tough!

The so-called negotiation is nothing more than two sides bidding each other and then compromising little by little, and finally reaching a price that both sides can afford.

But the Taiping Army didn't know if they were too confident in themselves, or they didn't take the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance in their eyes at all, so they directly offered a reserve price, and they had no intention of further negotiation.

There are indeed economic concessions, such as appropriate tax reductions and exemptions for half a year, but the Taiping Army did not give any of the other things that the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance wanted.

In that case, let's leave this negotiation aside.

Chi Bicheng did not believe that after the Taiping army conquered Wushan, they were willing to sacrifice countless manpower and material resources to continue to storm Dengzhou.

He guessed that General Xu saw that they took the initiative to find him, and guessed that most of them couldn't hold on, so he wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price.

However, the big chambers of commerce in Dengzhou are not so unbearable.

He believed that as long as he did not spit lightly, the Taiping army would be the first to lose his breath and turn to beg him.

At that time, the price offered by the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance will be different!

As for Chi Bicheng's thoughts, Chen Wu could guess a thing or two, but he was not worried.

The Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce has a large alliance and includes almost all the large-scale forces in Dengzhou City, but these forces are not monolithic, and they are also gathered together for interests.

Now that the blockade of the Taiping Army has not been a few days away, the forces of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance can still sit still.

After a long time, when the small chamber of commerce was on the verge of bankruptcy and began to make trouble, he didn't believe that the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance still had that confidence.

He has completely grasped the lifeblood of Songjiang's business, so he will not make concessions when he has already gained the upper hand.

This not only involves simple interests, but also indirectly affects Chen Wu's rule after he became the ruler of Dengzhou.

Without killing the prestige of these local forces first, how could the orders of the Taiping Army be penetrated and implemented?

When the time comes, he can use force to intimidate the city.

These merchant forces in Dengzhou seem to have recognized the Taiping army's reluctance to attack Dengzhou lightly, but they can't get enough of Chen Wu's bottom line after all.

If the Taiping army released the wind and put on a formation, forcibly attacked the city at any cost, and carried out a bloody baptism after breaking the city, would these businessmen who were greedy for life and afraid of death still dare to gamble and take risks?

……… Tiannan County, outside the South Peak Fortress.

After a lapse of five days, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Oman rested and launched another attack on the Yushan Battlements of the South Peak Fortress.

This section of terrain is the most gentle section of the entire South Peak Fortress, and the terrain is relatively open, enough to put thousands of soldiers at once.

In previous months, at least half of the Kingdom of Oman's offensive on the entire front was launched from here.

In a sense, this section of the defensive line, which is about one and a half miles long, can be called the main direction of attack of the Kingdom of Oman.

Because Saladin personally supervised the battle this time, the 3rd and 5th Infantry Divisions of the Kingdom of Oman that attacked were extremely high.

From the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon, more than a dozen attacks were launched, and it can be said that the offensive was like a tide.

If you change to an ordinary city, you are afraid that they will be taken down in one day.

However, after all, the Nanfeng Fortress was the defense line that the Empire had operated for many years, and there was the elite Tiannan Army in charge, although the tragic attack caused heavy casualties among the soldiers of the Empire, but after all, the Third Infantry Division, which suffered more than a third of the casualties, was forcibly repulsed.

Seeing that the sun was about to set again, today's offensive could be said to have been defused by the defenders.

A mere fortress, let them attack and always stand, so that Saladin's face is very bad, the early spring army has been launched until now, at least three months, the army has killed no less than 30,000 soldiers under the fortress, countless wounded, used an astonishing number of siege weapons, but has never been able to capture even a section of the South Peak fortress.

If this continues, how many more good men of the Oman Kingdom will have to die to break through the steel defense line in front of them?

After losing his temper, Saladin's anger did not subside, and he once again recruited Yan Xingbang, the leader of the black-clothed guards!

"How's going on in the north?"

Saladin didn't explain, but Yan Xingbang knew very well who this hero was referring to, and he was a little frightened in his heart, and explained: "Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates have sent people to contact the Taiping Army three times, but the other party has always found an excuse to drag and refuse to go south. It is said that it is necessary to wait for the capture of Dengzhou and the complete elimination of the officers and troops in Songjiang, so that they can safely move south to help our country. ”

"It's this set again!"

Saladin's anger was difficult to contain, and when the Taiping army shirked for the first time, under the pretext of attacking Chishang Mansion and damaging Yan zhòng, Saladin still believed a little.

But subsequently, the Taiping army successively started to seal the city of Wushan, but they just had no intention of going south.

Until now, he has come up with an excuse to hit Dengzhou...... Saladin, even if he was an idiot and was teased over and over again for the same reason, should be able to understand what the other party really thinks.

From the very beginning, the Taiping Army had no intention of helping, but simply wanted to deceive some aid.

"Reveal his secret agreement with us!"

Saladin decided to give this group of rebels a little color, although it may not pose any real threat, but even public opinion can make the other party drink a pot.

"Your Majesty, after all, the secret treaty is only a paper agreement, and there is no other valid proof, and the effect is only afraid of ......"

The Taiping army can completely disagree with this secret agreement, and the most important thing is that the content of the secret agreement is to let the Taiping army go south to attack the Nanfeng fortress, but from the signing of the secret agreement to the present, the Taiping army has not moved, which is enough to show its attitude.

Actual action is obviously more convincing than a secret contract that can be forged at will.

What's more, if this matter really spreads, it will certainly have some impact on the Taiping army, but it will also have a bad reputation for the Oman Kingdom.

I'm afraid that some people will laugh at the Omani Kingdom for beating chickens and eggs, and giving military aid in vain...... However, Saladin had no idea of changing his mind, and Yan Xingbang could only obediently obey the order after a reminder.

"By the way, what's going on with the 'East Wind'?"

Almost dead to the Taipings, unable to count on them for a while, Saladin could only turn his attention to this more important and more likely to be of great help.

Different from the division of the north wind and the south wind in the black guard, the "east wind"

It's simply a code name for a target person, which means "everything is ready and only the east wind is owed"

。

The other party is an important person in the South Peak Fortress, and a few months ago, he was accidentally caught by the black-clothed guards for deducting military salaries and reselling military materials.

With the help of this handle, the black-clothed guards of the Kingdom of Oman have gradually controlled this person, and there is only one last step left before he is completely rebellious.

As long as he is willing to take refuge in the Kingdom of Oman, the army of the Kingdom of Oman can easily break through the Nanfeng Fortress at the critical moment.

His significance to the Kingdom of Oman is the only "east wind" that is lacking

！

"Back to His Majesty, Le Ji seems to have found some traces and is ordering someone to investigate it strictly. Without our people to help plug the loopholes and cut off the clues, he would have only one fate. So, Dongfeng had no choice. Chen is confident that it will take another half a month at most to complete it! ”

Although the Kingdom of Oman needs to invest a lot of money and materials in order to help the other side fill the loopholes and deficits, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the consumption of more than 300,000 troops on the front line.

Compared with the great significance and harvest of taking the South Peak Fortress, it is not worth mentioning in the sky and on the ground!

"Well done!"

Finally hearing the good news, and there was a clear deadline, the city government that had allowed Saladin to ascend the throne for many years could not help but be overjoyed.

He seems to have broken through the Nanfeng Fortress half a month later, wiped out the Tiannan Army, and swarmed north.

At that time, the entire Tiannan Songjiang Ninghai will be his Saladin's!

With these two and a half counties, the land of the Kingdom of Oman would be close to ten counties.

Under the advantages of one another, the empire that has lost the territory in the southeast will be greatly reduced.

The Kingdom of Oman only needs to work hard for a few years and thoroughly digest this result, and then it will be able to go north out of Daqingguan and completely control the Central Plains!

It was Saladin's lifelong dream!

……… Around the same time.

In the Nanfeng Fortress, Le Ji, a veteran in military uniform, was listening to the report of a young general in front of him with a stern face.

Not long ago, local soldiers in Tien Nam County inadvertently inspected a batch of military supplies, including grain, grass and swords, at the Kun'an Bazaar.

This report attracted the attention of Leji.

He has been in charge of the army for several decades, and what he hates most is this unhealthy trend of reselling military funds.

Referring to some of the minor problems found in the previous review, Leji vaguely felt that there might be a deeply hidden moth in his army.

After struggling to repel another round of attacks by the Kingdom of Oman, he immediately summoned the officer he had assigned to investigate.

“…… The 400 stone military rations and 50 swords in Kun'an Mansion were all from our Tiannan Legion after investigation. But these seized on the spot should only be a small part. Other military rations have been replaced with grain bags and packages, and have even flowed into grain stores for bulk sales, which is difficult to identify. The seller who sold this batch of goods has been arrested by us, but after interrogation, it was found that the previous family that shipped the goods had been eliminated, and the clues to further investigation were cut off. ”

After reading the long report, the officer took a breath, and Le Ji in front of him unconsciously had awe and worship in his eyes.

"Has the upper family been wiped out? It's fast! ”

Leji's gray eyebrows were squeezed together, but his heart became more and more firm in his inference.

The resold military rations were seized, including the fact that he personally sent people to investigate, and it was a tightly sealed secret in the army, and it was impossible to know it without a certain status.

However, the other party's reaction was so quick and able to kill before Leji could find someone, I have to say that the mastermind behind it must have strong power and energy.

"Keep investigating, we must find out this person!"

He coughed violently twice, and gave the order with the same attitude as he had been back then.
