Chapter 1519: A dangerous balance

Yang Zhi frowned and looked at the people in the tent, "What do you think about this matter?"

Now the army besieged the city and surrounded Kunling County, but the troops that surrounded Kunling County came from several different systems, including Han Huafeng under Yang Zhi's command, Guanning troops, Jingchu cavalry under Jiang Shangyan, Zeng Lin's direct troops, and Wulin under Zhou Jiyun's command. Different sources are different, so the military orders are naturally not unified. For the old Jianghu Zeng Lin, he naturally knew this situation. Although the emperor of Yuejing City had not yet received a formal order, he had already understood the emperor's meaning. As the government supervisor of the six eastern counties, he entrusted Yang Zhi to command all the besieged troops on his behalf, and temporarily established the issue of unified command of the besieged troops.

Wu Lin is born to Xiao Mom now, and he has no objection to anyone who commands him, not to mention that his logistics is all due to the supply of the Ming people, so he naturally has no objection. Jiang Shangyan has never been a person who fights for power. He has been in the Ming people for several years and knows Yang Zhi's status in the Ming Kingdom. Qin Feng's cultivation of Yang Zhi is obvious to all. He has gone through several main battle camps until he stands alone. Today, Yang Zhi is no longer the somewhat reckless young man of the past.

"General Jiang?" Yang Zhi looked at Jiang Shangyan on his left. Among the generals in the tent, Jiang Shangyan was naturally the most powerful. He not only led the only established cavalry here, but also the person who stayed in Jingchu for the longest time. He was not only trusted by Zeng Lin, but also by the Ming Emperor.

"I have always wondered why it is not Bian Wushuang's direct soldiers who defend the city wall. Their roots are buried here." Jiang Shangyan shook his head and said, "Now, whether it is Bian Wushuang's new recruitment or the army coming from Qin, the morale of the army has been declining day by day. Even if they blockades tightly, they will leak in. In this case, Bian Wushuang dares to use them to defend the city. Aren't these people afraid of these people surrendering? After a long time, Bian Wushuang is waiting for us here. General Yang, there are still tens of thousands of civilians in the city. Once Bian Wushuang is anxious to jump over the wall, we can't afford this consequence."

Yang Zhi nodded slightly.

Wu Lin also stood up and bowed, "General Yang, many families of our troops are in Kunling County. Once this news is leaked, it may cause unstable morale in the army. Please observe it."

Han Huafeng stood up with some anger: "He is threatening us, and he wants to take advantage of our Ming Dynasty and not want the people to be poisoned too much. He takes advantage of His Majesty's kindness. Bian Wushuang is really not a son of humanity. General Yang, can we be threatened by him?"

Guan Ning deeply felt the same: "General Yang, the person we sent to the city a few days ago has already responded, and the other party has agreed to cooperate with us. If the assault speed is fast enough, it can minimize the losses. Moreover, since we have received this news, we can make corresponding countermeasures and prepare more fire-fighting objects. Once we break into the city, we will attack the other party while extinguishing the fire in an emergency. How can our Ming army be threatened like this?"

Han Huafeng and Guan Ning said this, Jiang Shangyan and Wulin remained silent. Unlike these two people, they stayed here for a longer time and had more feelings for this land. Especially Jiang Shangyan, the reason why they finally decided to return to the Ming Dynasty was on the one hand because of Cheng Wuben's death, and on the other hand, they lamented the hardships of the people in the east, and what he saw in the Ming Dynasty was completely different from the heavens and the ice and fire. Now, in order to win the battle, they actually had to pay more than 100,000 ordinary people's lives and property. He was absolutely unwilling to do so.

No matter how well prepared you are, you cannot be foolproof. As the fire starts, you may be out of control immediately in this season.

Yang Zhi did not speak, but stood up and hung up a map. This was a city map of Kunling County, with two thick lines marked in red and black.

"Please look at it. This is Bian Wushuang's defense map. The black one is an ordinary army, while the red one is Bian Wushuang's personal guards. Without exception, these personal guards are all led by people surnamed Bian. The place where they defend is the place where they are preparing to cause fire."

Looking at this picture, everyone was silent, including Han Huafeng and Guan Ning, shook their heads and stopped talking.

"Even if we have internal support, no matter how fast we are, the defensive troops on their periphery turn against each other, and they will not defeat them before they ignite the fire and cause a fire. If one of them is not good, even the troops we attack into the city will be trapped in the sea of ​​fire. Bian Wushuang is an old military service. These arrangements echo the front and back, and the location selection is wonderful and very experienced." Yang Zhi sat back again: "And the governor Zeng and General Zhou Jiyun both sent me a letter, hoping that we can handle this matter carefully, so a strong attack is not advisable."

"Bian Wushuang surrendered but did not surrender, and he would not beat him. Could he be ready to waste time with us like this?" Han Huafeng said angrily.

"Of course not." Yang Zhi smiled coldly, "He put on such a sport that is not afraid of boiling water. It is just to increase his bargaining chips so that he can bargain with us."

"When it reaches this point, is it possible that he is still lucky? Negotiating a hammer judgment?" Han Huafeng was so angry that he spoke unstoppable. "We just waste our time and slowly instigated all his subordinates. He is a commander-in-law, let's see how he plays?"

"That's another way to force Bian Wushuang to jump over the wall!" Jiang Shangyan shook her head and said, "It's not advisable."

"General Jiang, can we be blackmailed by him?" Han Huafeng said angrily. "When war and conquer the world, how can there be no one who will die?"

"But now, people can be avoided, especially a large number of innocent people." Jiang Shangyan stared at Han Huafeng and said word by word.

"Okay, two!" Yang Zhi waved his hand: "Bian Wushuang is not really going to do this. He just wants to force us to negotiate with him. As for negotiation, it is natural that both parties will come to discuss. First, look at the other party's request. Bian Wushuang is not a fool. He understands the reason why too much is too much. If he makes excessive demands, we will naturally not agree. If the requests he makes are not excessive, we can naturally consider them."

Jiang Shangyan nodded and said, "The last general believes that the first priority is to ensure the lives of innocent people in the city."

"Of course, the Ming Dynasty has always regarded the people as the country's city, so how could it be that they would sit by and watch them in danger?" Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Some respected people from the Bian army from the west and the eunuch Le, who came to announce the imperial eunuch, will arrive soon. Let's wait a few days. Now we are not anxious, but Bian Wushuang. Let's cool him for a few days first and let things ferment. Bian Wushuang's expectations will be lowered. After all, for us, fighting or talking, in short, we must maximize the benefits. For Bian Wushuang, since there is still hope, we naturally don't want to break the death. People are afraid that he has no desire to survive and has no desires. If he has no desire, he will be strong! As long as he still has ideas, there will be gaps to find and loopholes to drill. The action on the Eagle Nest can be bigger. Since Bian Wushuang has already given us a question, it is impolite to come and not go."

A general stood up in the corner and bowed to take the order. "General Yang, don't worry, the next thing about Anyang's military family will spread wildly in the city, big-character posters will appear everywhere, and we will also go to and from the residences of some generals in the city in a semi-public manner. My subordinates think that Bian Wushuang is afraid that he can't control it now!"

"That's the reason!" Yang Zhi laughed. "He makes us anxious, and we make him afraid. Since they are all acting, then naturally both sides will end up."

In Kunling County City, both sides were testing the opponent's background, and their movements became increasingly large, but they carefully maintained the bottom line that the opponent was guarding, that is, if the Ming army did not attack the city, they would not set fire in the city. As the Ming army's actions of rebelling outside the city became more and more obvious and became more and more unscrupulous, there were more and more fire points arranged in the city.

Kunling County City is now like it is located on a crater, and a huge fire that may ignite at any time.

At this time, in Luzhou, two heavyweight figures were having an extraordinary meeting.

Under the lotus, two people and horses stood opposite each other. On the mountain, the generals of the two armies stood side by side, from top to bottom, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of them.

The snow was melting, except for the white hat on the top of the mountain, the lush green was already covering the field of vision.

Guo Xiancheng looked a little sad.

"Do you remember that year when we besieged Min Ruoying's 200,000 eastern border troops in Luzhou? We both stood side by side here. This situation is really similar to that time!"

"Jing sympathizes with the false!" Zhou Jiyun seemed much thinner. Over the past month, he has experienced ups and downs several times. Even a person with a tough heart like him was frightened. "At that time we were friendly forces, now we were enemies. At that time, we fought side by side, and now we were warriors."

"Jiyun, why bother?" Guo Xiancheng shook his head: "The Grand Marshal has ascended the throne. You know his value to you. Come back, Your Majesty will definitely ignore past grudges and use it for you. Our battle with the Ming people will be long-term and fierce. Your Majesty needs a general like you."

Zhou Jiyun smiled and then sighed again: "Brother Guo, why do you have to make such a meaningless word? When Luoyang City was broken, they..."
