Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 347 Compensation Negotiation
New town.

By the Xiaoliao River, on the Huaishu Mountain.

The towering new city has a circumference of twelve miles and winds continuously on the mountainside.

Luo Cheng stayed at the foot of the mountain, pointed his whip at the mountain city, "What is the name of this water, and what is the name of this mountain?"

"This water is as small as the Liao River, and this mountain is Locust Tree Mountain." Wei Zheng replied sideways.

The Xiaoliao River is the Hun River in later generations, and Huaishu Mountain is the Gaoer Mountain in Fushun later. Gaoer Mountain is actually a Manchu language, and its original meaning is a mountain full of locust trees.

The new city is located in Gaoershan Park in Fushun later.

"It is indeed a majestic city."

Luo Cheng sighed.

"But now there are only [-] guards in this city, and the guard Yang Wanchun was still defeated by the general, and his arm was cut off by the general."

Surrounded by Luo Cheng, the generals and academies of the Fifth Left Army were eager to try this majestic fortified city.

"I heard that this new city is the top few fortresses on the defense line of Qianli Mountain City in Liaodong. Xincheng governs dozens of surrounding cities, commanding [-] soldiers, and hoarding countless money and food in the city, if we take down Xincheng by the way, we can make a fortune."

It was the fourth child who spoke.

Luo Cheng looked at the new city as if he was looking at the scenery, "Twelve Mile City, [-] defenders are indeed a little small. But you have seen Yang Wanchun's skills, and he is still very ruthless. The key, you also say Well, this new city has a lot of food and equipment, and there are a lot of people in the city. If we really want to fight, they will fight stubbornly. Even if they hold on for a year or so, they will be fine, but we don't have time to waste here."

"How will you know if you don't try it!"

The third son, Siye, came over and said, "Since they are all here, there is no reason to pass by like this. I think that even if you don't want to hit the new city, you can grab the grass and hunt the rabbits, and it would be good to sweep the surrounding area by the way."

"Alright."

"I'll go." The fourth child immediately asked for orders.

Luo Cheng nodded, "You can go, but you have agreed in advance that you can clear the wilderness, but you are not allowed to rape or plunder, and you are not allowed to kill people at will."

"I know, I know, isn't it just that if it is confiscated, it will be returned to the public. Don't worry, everything I robbed will be returned to the public."

Therefore, Luo Cheng asked Siye to lead the headquarters in the front chamber to move on, while he led the middle chamber to stay under the new city.The left and right hatchbacks set up camp twenty miles away, and the rear compartments took Cunxiao with the headquarters to sweep the surrounding areas.

Luo Cheng put on a posture of attacking Xincheng on a large scale.

The defenders of the new city almost pissed out of fear, Yang Wanchun climbed to the top of the city himself, seeing the number and momentum of the Sui army, he couldn't help but look ugly.

"General, what should I do?"

"We have to prepare for the worst." Yang Wanchun's face was livid, "Yuan Gai Suwen, who is so cruel, is not willing to send troops to help. With us, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the new city. Luo Chengcai hasn't seen him for a long time, and his army is strong again. Listen. It is said that there are still more than [-] Sui troops who have crossed the Liao River, and now there are [-] Sui troops outside of us."

Yang Wanchun was worried, and sent someone to quietly transport all the gold and silver treasures in Xincheng out of the treasury.

In order to deceive people, Yang Wanchun didn't put it in a box, but directly cut the old locust tree in half, and then hollowed out the middle to make a gold sheath and silver sheath, hiding gold, silver and jewelry inside.

The wooden sheaths filled with gold and silver treasures were transported to various parts of the city in the name of strengthening defense, and they were quietly dug and buried in secret underground at night.

He also ordered dry firewood to be piled up on the outside of the grain in each storehouse, and a tank of oil was prepared and placed next to it. In case the Sui army really broke through the city, he would order the burning of grain, grass and weapons, and burn the city with fire. Not at all for the Sui army.

He also had poison prepared, in case the city was destroyed, he would rather commit suicide than be captured.

After making all these preparations, Yang Wanchun also ordered to recruit young and strong warriors from the city and reward them with heavy gold.

But everything was ready, Luo Cheng was still just putting on a posture, but he just didn't come to attack.

After waiting for three days, Luo Cheng sent someone to shoot an arrow book.

"Brother Wanchun."

Yang Wanchun opened the letter and saw that he was very angry at the beginning. Luo Cheng, who was only 19 years old, actually called him in his 30s his brother.

The letter was dropped, but he picked it up again after a while.

Suppressing his anger, he read the letter.

Yang Wanchun fell into deep thought.

"City Master, what did the Sui thief say?"

"The Sui thief asked me for 10 taels of gold, [-] taels of silver, [-] war horses, [-] cattle and sheep, [-] stones of grain, and [-] young women. If he is willing, he is willing to withdraw from the siege."

"To so much? Why don't they grab it?"

Yang Wanchun gave the proprietor a blank look, "Luo Cheng is here to snatch it."

"Too much."

Someone said, "The key is that even if we give it, they may not necessarily return it."

"Yes."

As a result, Yang Wanchun was beyond everyone's expectations, and even took up a pen to write to Luo Cheng personally, and even bargained in the letter, including the doubts of the generals.

"What is the city lord doing?"

"Naturally, please ask for money to negotiate a peace."

"Reconciliation?"

Yang Wanchun wrote the letter, and sent people to hang out of the city to deliver the letter, solemnly.

outside the city.

Luo Cheng met Yang Wanchun's emissary, read the letter face to face, and then smiled directly, "Is Yang Wanchun really deceiving me when I'm young? He actually wants to play with me to delay, tell Yang Wanchun that you can bargain if you want, but there is a time limit. And a deposit must be paid. If he can pay 1000 taels of gold and 2000 taels of silver tomorrow, then I can talk to him for a day. Every day that the negotiation fails, he has to pay this much deposit, otherwise I will attack the city. "

The man wanted to refute, but Luo Cheng smiled directly, and immediately several Bai Mayi came over aggressively and dragged him out.

"If you talk too much, I'll cut you off directly. Tell Yang Wanchun that there is no gold or silver, and it's okay to use food, livestock, and women to pay for it. A woman is worth one tael of gold, and a horse and war horse are worth one tael of silver."

The envoy returned to the foot of the new city in a state of embarrassment, but was dragged up to the city by the defenders with ropes and baskets.

"Luo Cheng really said that?"

"really."

Yang Wanchun shook his head, "It seems that Luo Cheng has seen through this delay."

After thinking for a while, Yang Wanchun said, "Take 1000 taels of gold and send it to Luo Cheng, and tell Luo Cheng that I ask for a peace break first, and for the 1000 taels of gold, I ask for a three-day truce."

The messenger departs with the gold.

All the generals and school were stunned, not understanding why Yang Wanchun really wanted to give money.

"If the city is broken, the gold, silver, treasures, countless armaments, and tens of thousands of people in this city will no longer exist."

"But it's not a problem to give money like this, it will only make Luo Cheng's appetite bigger and bigger."

"But at least we can delay for a while. What we need most now is time." Yang Wanchun ignored everyone's objections, and asked someone to send gold to Luo Cheng on his own.At the same time, he wrote several letters for help and sent them to Liaodong, Fuyu and other cities.

It was still the messenger, still hanging from the city in a basket, and this time he brought a few people with him, carrying 1000 taels of gold and holding a white flag to the Sui army camp.
