Ning Ze's army strengthened the offensive and used all the siege equipment.

The defenders of the city were in great distress and desperately tried to block it.

A civilian official said to Taishou Yang Bo: "The enemy army is strong, I'm afraid I can't hold it!"

Yang Bo replied: "Reinforcements are coming, and the city must be defended at all costs." ”

The civil official asked, "The soldiers in the city are suffering heavy casualties, how can they defend it?"

Yang Bo immediately replied: "You can mobilize the people in the city to help." ”

So Yang Bo personally took the lead in calling on the people of Tiantai County to help defend the city.

Unexpectedly, the city wall of Tiantai County was smashed to pieces, and the soldiers and civilians in the city still defended it with all their might, making it difficult for Jinzhou soldiers and horses to attack.

Ning Ze was a little surprised, so he had a plan.

He ordered the army to stop the siege and retreat back five miles, with the front army as the rear army and the rear army as the front army, and put on a posture of meeting the rear.

When Yang Bo got the information, he immediately hurried his subordinates: "Ning Ze's army retreated suddenly, and the front and rear armies switched to defense, it must be our reinforcements arriving! He expected that our side would not dare to go out of the city, so he just sent troops to surprise attack, outflanking the reinforcements before and after, and he could win a big victory!"

So he recruited a thousand warriors and went out of the city late at night to raid.

When he came to the Ningze military camp, an ambush suddenly appeared around him.

Yang Bo led the troops to fight and was captured, and a thousand warriors were also taken prisoner.

The ghost-faced general Wang Wei sent him to the commander's tent.

Ning Ze saw Yang Bo and glanced at it.

【General】Yang Bo, male, 22 years old

[Affiliation] Zheng Mianjun [Loyalty] 76 [Official Position] Tiantai County Taishou

[Stamina] 86 [Brawn] 74

[Intelligence] 60 [Politics] 43

[Command] 72 [Rende] 70

Class: Archer S, Spearman A, Infantry B

[Stunt] Hold Lv7, Fight Lv6, and Train Lv4

The adaptability of S-level archers, plus the training of holding on to level 7, fighting level 6, and level 4, it is no wonder that defending the city is so powerful.

He immediately asked, "Would you like to surrender?"

Yang Bo glanced up at Ning Ze and didn't say anything.

76 points of loyalty, which is not easy to convince under normal circumstances.

Changed to a military general with a little bit of garbage, and directly ordered it to be cut. However, although Yang Bo's attributes are mediocre, he is a relatively rare defensive general, and it is not bad to defend the city.

The most important thing is that there are too many cities to capture, and there is a serious shortage of manpower. As long as you are not a die-hard faction, or a military general that you don't like, you must try to encircle as much as possible.

Therefore, he said: "Your Excellency has a lot of courage, I admire it!"

Let Wang Wei untie the rope and put a table of wine and food to invite.

Yang Bo was also not polite, eating and drinking, but no matter how Ning Ze persuaded him, he refused to spit out a word.

Ning Ze was not discouraged, Yang Bo ate the wine and food, and slightly improved his favorability, proving that he could be wooed.

After that, he was sent down to be strictly guarded, and led his troops to attack Tiantai County.

There were not many defenders left in the city, and they were nervously waiting for news from Yang Bo.

Suddenly, the defeated army fled back, and the leader, dressed in the armor of the Taishou, demanded to open the door.

It didn't really look at it at night, and the defenders in the city didn't think much about it, and directly opened the city gate.

Who would have thought that this Taishou was fake, and Ning Ze successfully rushed into the city under the guise of surrendering troops from the rooftop.

The army poured in, and the soldiers and civilians in the city knew that it would be useless to resist again, so after a slight resistance, they surrendered one after another.

Ning Ze occupied Tiantai County and took the lead in reassuring the people and pacifying the people. Then he recruited the civil and military officials in the city.

Most officials were reluctant to surrender, and some civilian and military generals chose to take refuge in Ning Ze.

After occupying Tiantai County, he immediately sent people to repair the city wall and strengthen the city defense.

At the same time, Wang Wei was ordered to lead 20,000 troops to Ba Shui to garrison to defend Zheng Mian's army.

Wang Wei received the order and led his troops to set up camp in the upper reaches of Ba Shui and set up defenses.

Cheng Sun led a large army to arrive and fought fiercely with Wang Wei.

The two armies fought for five or six days, each suffering casualties.

After Ning Ze pacified the people of Tiantai County, he immediately led the army to Ba Shui, attacked Cheng Sun from the side, and formed a flank attack with Wang Wei.

Cheng Sun's army was defeated and quickly retreated.

Wang Wei led his troops to chase to Qingyang Valley and confronted Cheng Sunjun.

At night, the valley suddenly cried and howled, like thousands of unjust souls.

The soldiers of Jinzhou were frightened, they all thought that the enemy army had unjust souls to help, how could they not be afraid of the ghosts and gods?

As a result, morale was in turmoil, rumors spread, and countless soldiers demanded the withdrawal of troops.

That night, Cheng Sun led the troops to raid, and the Jinzhou soldiers were defeated and retreated in the chaos, and were won by the other party.

Ning Ze arrived the next day, and Wang Wei reported the matter.

As an atheist, Ning Ze did not believe in the story of unjust souls seeking their lives, so he went to the top of a nearby mountain to observe the terrain.

After coming back, he said to all the soldiers: "The terrain of Qingyang Valley is complex and the structure is peculiar. When the wind blows at night, it will make a strange sound, and it is not a ghost asking for a life. Cheng Sun is familiar with the local customs and customs, but he just uses them to disturb the hearts of our army! You don't have to be afraid, even if there is a wronged soul, this army division can open the altar and destroy it!"

The officers and men in the army remembered that their own military advisors knew how to use spells, and they could even lead lightning to strike the enemy, what was the point of just a mere soul?

So he was no longer afraid.

Ning Ze personally led his troops to Qingyang Valley and fought with Cheng Sunjun.

Cheng Sun used the terrain to cast a fire trick, which was spotted by Ning Ze and did not pose any threat.

Ning Ze asked Wang Wei to lead his troops to make a detour, surround Qingyang Valley, trap tens of thousands of horses in the valley, and deliberately surrounded but did not fight.

Cheng Sun's army consumed extremely large amounts of military food, and the water source in Qingyang Valley could not guarantee the daily needs of tens of thousands of troops, so there was soon a shortage of water and food.

On the other hand, the Ning Ze army, because of the capture of Tiantai County, can ensure a stable supply of grain, grass and water.

At this time, another battle report came.

Song Gao and Ouyang Chun successfully broke through Xuanwu County and took the city.

Taking advantage of Cheng Sun's troops to attack Ningze, Yan Yong led the soldiers and horses of Feilu County to raid Yu County, Zheng Mian struggled to support and sent people to Cheng Sun for help.

Cheng Sun was very anxious, and in order to save Zheng Mian, he led the troops to break through the siege many times without success, and finally lost all thoughts and killed himself in Qingyang Valley.

As soon as Cheng Sun died, the generals of the army saw that they were irretrievable, and sent messengers to meet Ning Ze and beg for surrender.

Ning Ze agreed on the spot, so he accepted tens of thousands of enemy troops, and the more powerful he became.

Zheng Mian learned that Cheng Sun was defeated and died, and personally opened the door to surrender.

Ning Ze led his troops to join Song Gao and Ouyang Chun and returned to Yu County.

Seeing Yan Yong, he praised him and gave him a heavy reward.

Yan Yong thanked him and returned to Feilu happily.

Entering Yu County, Zheng Mian led the generals to come to visit, and said respectfully in front of Ning Ze: "I don't want to be an enemy of your army, but Cheng Sun instigated it, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

Ning Ze stepped forward to pick him up, took his hand and said with a smile: "Zheng Gongzi is a humble gentleman, and he naturally believes it." In fact, there is no grudge between the two states of Jinhan and Han, because Ling Zun covets the land of Chengzhou. It is a person from Chengzhou who cannot sit idly by. ”

Zheng Mian said: "Now that the military division has won the land of Hanzhou, how to deal with it?"

"Our army is not a land that covets Hanzhou, this is the foundation of the Zheng family, how can we take it?" Ning Ze said, "Hanzhou is still the Hanzhou of the Zheng family, and it is still the Hanzhou of Zheng Gongzi." ”

Zheng Mian was shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that you are so generous? The entire Hanzhou has been captured, and all the cities are controlled by you, and you will be generous enough to return it?

Sure enough, Ning Ze continued: "Ling Zun died, and there was no owner in Hanzhou. There is nothing wrong with Zheng Gongzi inheriting the post of assassin history! It's just that the position of assassin is assigned by the imperial court, otherwise the name is not right. My lord is the orthodox royal family, and Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen both call their sisters. Childe can go to Huajun first, and my lord will definitely write a book, and ask the court to issue an edict to correct Childe's name!"

Zheng Mian is actually quite smart, and he understands it when he hears it.

It's very nice to say, what Hanzhou is still my Hanzhou, and what do you say to ask the imperial court to correct your name and smoothly inherit the position of Hanzhou assassin. As long as you go to Huajun, you will be elevated, and the five counties of Hanzhou are still under your control, but they belong to the Zheng family in name.

Of course, there is no way to see it, and the current situation has to bow down.

Therefore, he arched his hand and said: "Obey Ning Zhonglang's arrangement!"

"Zheng Gongzi is a reasonable person!" Ning Ze took his hand and laughed, "After the affairs of Yu County are settled, we will leave for Hua County immediately." Song Gao!"

"Here!" Song Gao immediately came over.

"When the affairs of Yujun are settled, I order you to lead troops to escort Zheng Gongzi back to Huajun!"

When Song Gao heard this, he hurriedly said, "The last general wants to stay with the military advisor, can this matter be handed over to others?"

"Oh?" Ning Ze turned his head to look at him, thinking for a moment.

Song Gao's luck is very good, and it is not just short-lived, but also a real lucky general.

I am also very curious, from the Tuluhe County, Bailongpo incident, to Ouyang Chun this time, it is all because of him.

Maybe you really should stay by your side and observe carefully, if it is really a blessing, it will bring more benefits to yourself.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Mr. Ouyang will lead the troops to escort you?"

Ouyang Chun replied: "Willing to serve." ”

In the few days leading up to the settlement of affairs, Ning Ze hosted a banquet every day to invite Zheng Mian, as well as the surrendered officials and generals, including Yang Bo, to slowly increase their favorability and loyalty.

At the same time, he continued to visit Yang Bo.

Because Zheng Mian surrendered, Yang Bo had no reason to insist, and finally surrendered after Ning Ze's continuous persuasion.

Ning Ze presented famous products, raised his loyalty, and appointed him as the Taishou of Tiantai County.

Yang Bo was grateful, and the people of Tiantai County were full of gratitude when they learned that Yang Bo was still in charge of this place, and their attitude towards Ning Ze had completely changed.

It can be seen that Yang Bo is still quite influential in the local area of Tiantai, otherwise how can he say that the people in the city are mobilized to help defend the city?

The loyalty of the rest of the generals has also increased, including Zheng Mian.

After the completion of the affairs of Yujun, Ouyang Chun led an army to escort Zheng Mian to the direction of Huajun.

After solving the problem of Hanzhou, Ning Ze led the army back and moved in the direction of Chengzhou.

Dewey confronted the Yuanzhou soldiers and horses, and he wanted to go to the aid, and by the way, he managed to take down Dewey and turn this famous general into his own.

The five counties of Hanzhou were occupied by Ning Ze, and the news soon spread, and the princes were shaken.

After all, the forces that have not been taken into account for a long time suddenly occupy the land of Erzhou, and anyone will be nervous.

Su Jun, the assassin of Yuanzhou, was shocked when he learned that Ning Ze occupied Hanzhou and was about to send troops to aid Dewey.

He confronted Dewey for a long time, and the trouble in front of him was not solved, and another Ning Ze to support Dewey, where could he withstand it?

In an emergency, he could only send an envoy to ask Lu Cong for help.
