"Gather the civilian officers in the army, as well as those who can write. In my name, write a letter to Qin Zhen. I swear in the name of the Yan Han if he is willing to give up the city. I can not kill him, but depose him as a civilian. ”

Wu Nian turned his head and said to one of his own soldiers to his right.

"Yes."

The soldier was surprised, but quickly reacted and left after shouting yes.

The pro-soldiers are all confidants, not outsiders. A pro-soldier was bold and said to Wu Nian: "General. You used to catch the county order, the county commander, and the Han commander who served as officials for the Mengyuan people, all of which were one word. Kill. ”

"Why do you want to let Qin Zhen go?"

"This time it's different. If only I could get Anding County. Then it is equivalent to getting the Huanglong Mansion. And with Huanglong Mansion, the three thousand households in Guangyang Mansion will be unable to support it alone. Expelled the Tartars and recovered Liaodong. We Han Chinese may die 100,000 less. ”

"For the lives of these 100,000 Han people, I can open the net."

"If he dares to sacrifice the city, I will dare to spare him."

"But I don't think he will. I've always had a good reputation. But dark people tend to figure out a person from a dark angle. Qin Zhen won't believe my words. ”

Wu Nian shook his head and patiently explained to his own soldiers.

The soldiers were even more surprised and looked at each other. The bold pro-soldier subconsciously said: "Since Qin Zhen will not surrender, didn't the general do useless work?" ”

"Smack". The pro-soldier slapped himself in the face, lowered his head and said, "General." The villain has a lot of mouths. ”

Although Wu Nian led the troops to be friendly to the soldiers, they were also pro-soldiers. But there is a difference between the top and bottom. The soldier regretted what he had just said.

"It's okay." Wu Nian said with a smile on his face. Then patiently explained: "I didn't write this letter to Qin Zhen. It was written to the people of Mengyuan. ”

"In the past, many Han people either opened the city gate or helped me attack the city. Zhao Yanting is the biggest example of this. Therefore, Chunyuan disbanded the Han people and only trusted the Mengyuan people. ”

"Now I'm writing this letter. What will the Mengyuan people in the city think of Qin Zhen? ”

"If you're lucky. Maybe the Mengyuan people will act in advance and tie up Qin Zhen. That would be great. They themselves weakened their own power. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Nian's eyes couldn't help but show a little smile.

Mengyuan people, Han people.

It is possible to unite temporarily. But like oil and water, they don't come together. There are too many weaknesses.

The Fuhan General's Mansion is different.

Even for Zhao Yanting, he has basic trust.

"I see." The pro-soldiers suddenly realized, and their faces showed admiration. is worthy of a general, and he can think of this layer.

The letter written to Qin Zhen turned out to be for Meng Yuanren to read.

What is this?

That's right. Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong.

With 50,000 households, it is not difficult to build a large battalion. Among the 50,000 households, the bureaucratic system is extremely large.

Some are people who can write.

It's not hard to write a letter.

Soon. Wu Nian's military camp was built. Wu Nian also rode into the barracks, came to the big tent of the Chinese army, unbuttoned his armor, drank water, ate something, and lay down to rest.

On such a hot day, it is strange to run on a horse in armor.

Not long after Wu Nian rested, a personal soldier walked in from outside, clasped his fists and saluted, "General." We have a thousand arrows ready. ”

"Let Feng Chong lead people into the city. I'm going to get some sleep, don't bother me if it's okay. Wu Nian waved his hand lightly and closed his eyes.

"Yes." The soldiers responded respectfully, then glanced at Wu Nian, and tiptoed out.

"Da Da Da !!!"

After a while, Feng Chong led five hundred light cavalry and slaughtered from the camp gate. Each of them took two arrows and rode his horse to the bottom of the city.

"Brothers. It's not that difficult, though. But be careful. Try to make sure that the letter is delivered. After Feng Chong gave the order, he personally drew his bow and shot arrows, and shot an arrow letter at the head of the city.

"Whoosh !!" Five hundred light cavalry bent their bows and arrows, and sent the arrow letters. For a while, arrows rained down.

But the Mengyuan veterans in the city were shocked by this. At such a distance, the arrows are no longer lethal.

What are these people doing?

Feng Chong didn't care about the consternation of the veterans, and after shooting the arrow letter, he put away his war bow, led his light cavalry, and went back to the barracks.

He shouted to his brothers, "Brothers. It's been a hard journey. Go back and get some rest. ”

On the castle. Soon, a veteran soldier noticed that the arrows on the ground were different.

"Is it faith?" A veteran soldier stooped down to pick up the arrow, took a letter from the arrow and opened it to look at it, but it recognized him, he didn't.

In Mengyuan, ninety percent of people don't know Chinese characters.

A centurion who was literate, opened the letter and looked at it, his face changed dramatically, and then he reported it.

Not long after, in the military house south of the city, in a living room. There were more than a dozen Mengyuan officials, some were commanders, and some were civil officials.

They don't have 10,000 households. It was led by a thousand commanders named [Chenglian] sitting on the main seat.

Cheng Lian is forty years old, has just retired from active duty, is blind in one eye, is not in good health, and often gets sick. But the face is majestic, the figure is burly, and the explosiveness is still very strong.

"What do you think?" Cheng Lian stroked the armrests of the Taishi chair with both hands and asked in a deep voice.

"Although unlikely. But I have to guard against it. After all, Wu Nian has a lot of power. He hated the officials who surrendered to Meng Yuan. What's more, Qin Zhen? I heard that Qin Zhen was like a mang on his back, and he was always afraid that Wu Nian would sit big. Now that Wu Nian has taken the initiative to put forward such conditions, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be moved. ”

"The Qin family's power in Anding County is very strong, if he suddenly attacks. Maybe it can really overturn Anding County. I've heard that Haitian City is just someone who should be inside and outside. That's why Wei Xiang broke through the city so easily. None of the Han Chinese can be trusted. ”

A Meng Yuan official said in a deep voice.

"That's right. It is better to believe in the loyalty of the Han people than in the sword in our hands. ”

"Yes. We should strike first. Take Qin Zhen into custody. ”

Mengyuan officials agreed. But there are also those who oppose it.

"But everyone. Qin Zhen is the prince's henchman, and when the prince left Anding County, he gave him the responsibility to guard the city. If we do this, will the prince have a pimple? ”

"That was before. The prince didn't know that Wu Nian wrote such a letter to Qin Zhen. I'll talk about it later. Keeping the city is the number one priority. ”

Although there were different opinions, they were quickly refuted.

This leaves one opinion in the end.

Put Qin Zhen away first.

"Good. We took Qin Zhen into custody. He is responsible for defending the city. After Cheng Lian pondered for a long time, he raised his head and said in a deep voice.
