Although Yang Yuanqing led his army to the outside of Jiangdu City, he had no intention of siege. In the Sui Dynasty, the Sui army lost too much troops and he did not want to pay a heavy price.

More importantly, whether it is the Sui army or the Wei army, a soldier or a young and strong laborer can contribute to the economic recovery of the Sui Dynasty. It was particularly important after the war when the population was short.

When he was in the battle, Yang Yuanqing had given up the idea of ​​bloody battles. He was more of a strategy to win victory. He is now predominant in the general trend, and the ideal result is to defeat others without fighting.

The Sui army outside the city was just putting pressure on the city and adding psychological burden to the soldiers on the city. After an hour of formation, the Sui army began to set up camp by the canal. Tents stood up one by one, arranged neatly, and the white tents were particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

In the commander's tent, Yang Yuanqing opened a defense map of Jiangdu City. This was given to him by a Sui army spy from Jiangyang County. The defense map of Jiangdu City stated in detail the deployment and loopholes of the Wei army. After all, the Wei army had only more than 10,000 people. It was really a bit difficult to defend against Jiangdu City, which had a circumference of nearly 60 miles, and it was inevitable that there were loopholes.

This is a bit like the situation when a sneak attack on Chang'an City. At least three loopholes were marked on the map. One was that there was almost no defense at the Water Gate, and the other was that Wangchun Gate on the west was disrepaired. He used heavy siege tools to easily break the city gate. The other was that there were too few defenders. He could attack the city at the lowest cost by using the method of hitting the east and attacking the west.

Xie Yingdeng next to him was a little excited, "Your Highness, attack from the Water Gate! Bei Yi will definitely be able to capture Jiangdu City."

Yang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there should be changes in the city. I hope Jiangdu City can open the door and surrender by itself, instead of using the means of siege. If you don't surrender tomorrow, it's not too late to attack the city."

"I understand."

Yang Yuanqing walked to the tent with his hands behind his back and stared at Jiangdu City. He believed that all forces in Jiangdu City were brewing changes. It would be better to give them more time to brew so that they could get better wine.

......

As night gradually came, the Sui army never sieges the city. The ten thousand defenders on the city were worried for a day, and became tired as the night fell. Many soldiers hid in the corner to sleep.

The low-level officers gathered together to whisper, discussing the current situation and discussing their respective futures. In fact, everyone understands that Jiang Yangcang has basically lost its situation.

In the military camp, Bing Yuanzhen ordered people to set up three tables of banquets. He placed a pre-war banquet for more than 20 middle and senior generals with more than 20 minor generals. This is the tradition of the Wagang Army. Before the war, the three armies had to eat and drink a lot, just treat it as the last meal of dead wine. Of course, if they could return triumphantly, they would still have to have a dinner party to celebrate.

But now it is no longer the Wagang Army. This tradition of slaughtered wine has been banned by Li Mi. Bing Yuanzhen could only ask the generals to drink it while Li Mi is away.

"Dear generals!"

Bing Yuanzhen raised the wine bowl high and said to everyone: "This is the old tradition of our Wagang Army. Perhaps everyone finally got together to drink hard. Due to our years of fighting together, everyone drank this wine."

"drink wine!"

The sorrow in the hearts of the generals was ignited by the three words "Wagang Army". He picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine. Zhang Tongren frowned slightly and ordered the generals: "The Sui army may attack the city tonight. Everyone can stop at the right time and do not drink too much."

All the generals looked angry and hated that someone would come to ruin the fun when drinking. However, Zhang Tongren was the chief general. Although everyone was dissatisfied, they dared not ignore him. Several officers who picked up the wine jar and prepared to pour the wine jar, had to put the wine jar again, and everyone changed it to a small cup, drinking the wine sip at a time.

Bing Yuanzhen approached Zhang Tongren and lowered her voice: "I have invited the jade lady in Huang Yanlou, too. Since it is inconvenient, should I send her back?"

Bing Yuan was very scheming. He knew Zhang Tongren's weaknesses very well. He knew that Zhang Tongren's biggest problem was that he was lustful and could use beauty tricks to deal with him.

Zhang Tongren's heart blew, "Bang!", "Miss Yu is extremely beautiful and famous in Jiangdu City, but she is Li Mi's personal favorite. Last time Li Mi held a banquet to entertain the generals, she ordered Mrs Yu to dance a song for everyone. Zhang Tongren was fascinated. Although he was intimate, he did not dare to anger Li Mi.

Li Mi is not here now, and Bing Yuanzhen brought Jade Madam again, how could he not be moved? He swallowed and asked in a low voice while everyone was not paying attention, "Where is she now?"

"It's just hidden in the study room, but she can't stay there for a long time. If the general is not interested, I'll send her away."

Zhang Tongren drank a bowl of wine, and his heart was so tempted that he was so squinting that he smiled and said, "Then I'll go and take a look, and I'll send her away in half an hour."

He got up and left the room, and walked quickly towards the Wenshu room not far away. A soldier stood at the door of the Wenshu room with thin eyebrows and almond eyes. Zhang Tongren recognized him at first glance. He was dressed as a young woman, probably Madam Yu's maid. He smiled, reached out and pinched the maid's face, and pushed the door into the room.

There was a faint fragrance in the room, which was the fragrance of a woman's powder. Zhang Tongren took a deep breath. The fragrance made him intoxicated and made his heart beat faster. He burned with desire. He quickly walked into the inner room.

The light in the inner room was dim, and a little moonlight shot into the window, making the room hazy. I saw a woman in a long skirt sitting on the couch, wearing a veil and a light gauze on her face, and she couldn't see clearly.

Zhang Tongren had no doubt at this time. He was so eager that he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shook off his outer robe, and whispered, "Let the beauty wait for a long time!"

Zhang Tongren opened his arms and rushed forward. At this moment, a tall black shadow suddenly appeared behind him, covering his mouth, and a shiny dagger appeared in his hand. A cold light flashed, Zhang Tongren's throat was cut off, and blood splashed out...

Just as Zhang Tongren was covered by his mouth, the Jade Madam sitting on the couch also stood up suddenly and rushed towards him. A sharp spike penetrated into Zhang Tongren's heart.

Zhang Tongren fell to the ground, his throat was cut and he couldn't scream, twisted in pain, and he died in a moment.

"Miss Jade" lifted off the curtain, but it was not a woman, but Wang Shunyuan dressed up. He and the man in black started to work together, lifted the cover of the couch, stuffed the body into the couch, and wiped the blood clean. This was what made the maid who returned to the door jump out of the back window and quickly left the military camp.

In the banquet room, the officers were still drinking and eating. Zhang Tongren went there for a long time, but disappeared. At this time, Bing Yuanzhen walked back and smiled at everyone, "General Zhang was loyal to his duties and went to inspect the city defense. After drinking, everyone returned to their respective garrisons. Let's not care about him, just drink it with pleasure!"

Zhang Tongren left, and the generals were like wild horses without bridles. They began to drink happily, drink with big bowls, eat meat in big mouthfuls. They were noisy and lively.

There was enough wine, so Bing Yuanzhen ordered people to send dozens of jars of wine to the soldiers on duty in the barracks, and also sent a lot of roast chicken, roast duck and wine. The entire barracks were immersed in the craze of eating and drinking.

Half an hour later, Fan Wenchao led more than 700 subordinates to the barracks. The barracks were filled with drunken soldiers, drunkenness and drunk behind the corner house in various postures. Bing Yuanzhen naturally put a little something in the wine sent by him. Even if he only drank a bowl of wine to keep the cold, he would be drunk as if he was drunk.

Fan Wenchao sneered and turned around and ordered: "Close the camp gate!"

More than a dozen soldiers closed the gate of the barracks. Fan Wenchao pulled out his battle knife and ordered viciously: "Kill me! No one left!"

.........

The south gate of Jiangdu City was guarded by 500 Wei soldiers, and the side general was called Chen Xun. More than an hour ago, he was called to the military camp to drink the dead head wine. He had never returned. The soldiers stood for most of the day and were exhausted. They looked for corners to rest, sleep, or guess the development of the war, and were full of pessimism about their own destiny.

This is, Fan Wenchao led more than 700 subordinates to come in line. Fan Wenchao took the lead. Beside him was Bing Yuanzhen, holding Zhang Tongren's command arrow in his hand. Bing Yuanzhen urged him to step forward and asked sternly: "Where is Chen Xun?"

The soldiers hiding in the city cave and the corner of the wall stood up one after another, and a captain ran down from the top of the city and replied: "Report to Shangshu Bing, General Chen was called to the military camp to have a drink, but hasn't come back yet?"

"Nonsense! I just came from the military camp and my drinking had already dispersed. Where did others go?"

Bing Yuan was a veteran of the Wagang Army and had always had great authority. His attitude became stern, which made the captain a little scared. He guessed that Chen Xun had taken the opportunity to go home secretly, but he did not dare to say it, and quickly whispered: "Where is he going, the villain doesn't know, otherwise, we will go find him."

"No need, I will send someone to find him."

Bing Yuanzhen took the orders and shouted loudly: "General Zhang has an order, and Chen Xun's troops have changed to guard the Water Gate. The south gate is guarded by General Fan. You and others will immediately go to the Water Gate to defend. If you miss a major event, you will be killed!"

The military order was like a mountain, and the captain dared not refuse to obey. He took the order arrow and turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Get all together and go to the water gate with me."

Five hundred soldiers gathered together and followed the captain to run towards the water gate located in the west of the city. Bing Yuanzhen and Fan Wenchao looked at each other, and both of them laughed proudly. Many seemingly complicated things will become extremely simple as long as they solve the key points.

However, there is not much time left for them, Bing Yuanzhen immediately said to Wang Shunyuan: "Please report to Your Highness, you have already taken it south. Please ask the Sui army to enter the city immediately!"

Wang Shunyuan was overjoyed and bowed, "Thank you for your strong support, I will report it truthfully."

He urged his horse to run towards the city gate. At this time, the city gate had been opened and the suspension bridge was lowered. Wang Shunyuan's war horse rushed out of the city gate and ran towards the heavy night.

.........

In front of the camp, Yang Yuanqing was surrounded by more than a dozen generals and stared at Jiangdu City from afar. There was no news from the spies in Jiangdu City so far, which means they were taking action. Yang Yuanqing knew very well that Bing Yuanzhen's position in the Wagang Army. If he had all his strength, there would be no big problem. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be a result tonight.

Just as I thought of this, there was a sound of horse hooves coming from a distance. A knight was running towards this side. There was a patrol visiting him, "Who is it?"

"I am Wang Shunyuan, the captain of the Jiangdu Intelligence Hall of the Inner Guard Army. If I have urgent information, I will report it to Your Highness."

Yang Yuanqing heard it very clearly and nodded, "Take him up!"

After a moment, Wang Shunyuan was brought up. He turned over and dismounted and knelt down on one knee to report: "Report to Your Highness, the South City Gate has been taken over by Bing Yuanzhen and Fan Wenchao, and Zhang Tongren and all the generals above the side were killed. Please ask Your Highness to enter Jiangdu City as soon as possible."

Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed and turned around and ordered Xie Yingdeng to "bring a thousand brothers to investigate!"

"Abide by the order!"

Xie Yingdeng led a thousand soldiers to follow Wang Shunyuan to the city. At this time, 30,000 Sui soldiers gathered and were on standby.

Soon, Xie Yingdeng sent someone back to report, "Report to Your Highness, the situation is true, and the South City Gate has been controlled by our army."

As expected, it was easy to get it. Yang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately issued an order, "The entire army entered Jiangdu City, and the enemy should try to capture it as much as possible, and those who violate the order shall be killed!"
