Turbulent Times Chapter 1110: Siege

The defenders of Baishan County were broken, so they guarded the city and did not come out. Wang Junlin felt sorry for the lives of the soldiers and was unwilling to attack the city by seconding the law, so he asked Lu Han to drive away the captured Goguryeo soldiers and dig trenches around Baishan County. , and piled up earth walls to surround it, completely turning Baishan County into an isolated city.

After doing this, Wang Junlin gave priority to persuading him to surrender.

The person sent to say the surrender was a general who was captured before. He was originally from a local rich family. He was related to many Chinese and military officials in the city. Everyone is good, but it didn't work out.

When Lu Han led his men to fight the Baishan County defenders outside the city, Guan Xiaotong from the north also led his men to attack Dashiling Village.

Wang Junlin ordered the army to set up camp. He is not in a hurry to capture Baishan County immediately. He is waiting for the outcome of the battle between Yang Guang and Yuan Taizuo before making a response.

At noon on the fourth day, Wang Junlin called Guan Xiaotong, Lu Han, and Zhang Tiangang to discuss matters. A soldier knelt on one knee at the door of the tent and said, "My lord, Li Yuanpeng, the guard in the city, sent an envoy to ask for an interview. They brought a lot of curios and women."

Everyone laughed, Li Yuanpeng was resigned, Wang Junlin smiled to the three of them: "Come on, let's go and see, this is a gift from Li Yuanpeng."

The three of them followed Wang Junlin to the outside of the camp. The carriage brought by Li Yuanpeng's envoy was parked in front of the camp, but the soldiers guarding the camp did not allow them to enter. Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu set very strict military regulations. Officials and soldiers did not dare to contact these Goguryeo people privately.

At this moment, the gate of the camp opened, and the cavalry of the Special Forces rushed out. Immediately afterwards, Wang Junlin, Zhang Tiangang, Lu Han, and Guan Xiaotong rode out from the camp.

The envoy of the guard of Baishan County hurriedly ordered ten carefully selected beautiful girls to get out of the car and line up, and asked them to carry three boxes of jewels and gold jade down. He is a servant of the guard of Baishan County, see my lord!"

Wang Junlin said lightly: "What did Li Yuanpeng send you here for?"

"My general specially prepared a small gift for your lord, in order to have a truce with your lord."

The messenger pointed to the ten beautiful girls and said: "These ten beauties are the most beautiful girls selected in the city, and they are all perfect.

Give it to your lord for bedtime. There are also three boxes of jewelry, gold and jade, which are also treasures collected in the city. They are specially dedicated to your lord for military supplies. Please leave Baishan County and go elsewhere. "

Wang Junlin walked up to the ten beautiful girls and took a look at them. The ten girls saluted all together. He went to the box again, and his personal soldiers stepped forward to open the three boxes. They were all gold, silver and jewels, shining golden. Dazzling.

Wang Junlin turned around and asked the emissary with a smile: "Then Li Yuanpeng wants to surrender to me?"

The envoy was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "My general is from a noble family in Goguryeo. It is really difficult to surrender to people from other countries, but my general is willing to meet your request through other methods."

"Other ways to satisfy?"

Wang Junlin sneered, pointed at the ten beautiful girls and three treasure chests, and said, "These are the women and property in Baishan County. , do you need Li Yuanpeng to send it? You can also withdraw your troops if you want me to, as long as Li Yuanpeng sends one million taels of silver and one million stones of grain as the military supplies of our army, I will lead the people back and not attack his Baishan County. This is my condition."

The envoy wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It will take time to get together a million taels of silver and a million stones of grain. Can you give us a month's time, and it will be delivered in a month."

Wang Junlin thought to himself that this person might not be Li Yuanpeng's servant, but probably an aide or something. He was able to take advantage of the opportunity to delay the time. To manage the people of Goguryeo, it is best for this person to be from Goguryeo, and some talented Goguryeo scholars who are not good enough are Wang Junlin's first choice.

Although he was thinking this way, Wang Junlin knew that it was not appropriate to say it directly at this time, so he said: "One month is too long, seven days at most, if it is not delivered after seven days, I will take people to flatten Baishan County. "

"Yes! Yes! The villain understands, and the villain will go back and tell my general what the adults mean."

After the envoy knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Junlin, he hurriedly got on his horse and returned with two followers. Wang Junlin saw them walking away, so he pointed at ten girls and said to his Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Tiangang

He said: "Three of these ten girls, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong, and Zhang Tiangang, four, you can stay as concubines, or you can reward the subordinates who have made great achievements under your command, but it is not possible right now. I have told the people below, and I will talk about it after the Baishan County is taken down."

Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, and Zhang Tiangang were overjoyed immediately, clasped their fists and bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward, my lord."

After the three left, Wang Junlin ordered his left and right soldiers: "Go and call Jin Sanhu to my tent."

As soon as Wang Junlin returned to his tent, Kim Samho, the last of Goguryeo's generals who were demoted in the Battle of Baengryeongdo, walked in, knelt down on one knee and said to Wang Junlin, "Please refer to your lord for humble positions." /

Wang Junlin gave Jin Sanhu an idle job in the army and followed him all the time.

"I heard that Jin Xiaowu, the lieutenant general next to Li Yuanpeng, the Baishan county guard, is a member of your Jin clan." Wang Junlin said straight to the point.

Jin Sanhu is a smart person, he immediately understood what Wang Junlin meant, and said quickly: "My lord, there are quite a few members of our Jin clan. Although this Jin Xiaowu knew before he was humbled that he was indeed one of our clansmen, he had never I’ve seen them before, but I’m not acquainted with them. If your lord wants to use a tactic of alienation, in fact, a general named Cui Hongguang captured by your lord in Nanyang Village is a more suitable person.”

"Oh! What is the relationship between this Cui Hongguang and that Jin Xiaowu?" Wang Junlin asked in surprise.

"My lord, this Cui Hongguang is Jin Xiaowu's nephew." Jin Sanhu said hastily.

…

…

Jin Xiaowu hurried into Li Yuanpeng's mansion, which is the largest mansion in Baishan County,

Walking into Li's mansion, he heard a woman's miserable cries from a long distance away. Jin Xiaowu shook his head secretly. He is willing to listen to advice, and he is generous in his efforts to win over people, but he has a bad temper, and he uses women to vent his anger when he is a little unhappy.

However, it is no wonder that Li Yuanpeng was angry today. The two army strongholds in the north and south outside the city were easily lost. It was actually surrounded by the Sui people who dug trenches and piled earth walls.
