Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 350
"Okay, this general accepts City Lord Yang Wanchun's request to surrender. I have accepted the letter of surrender. Please go back and tell City Lord Yang Wanchun that I will continue to hand over the new city to him, and the people in the city will still be managed by him. As for the future How to arrange it, I will ask His Majesty, and everything is up to His Majesty's will."

Luo Cheng accepted Yang Wanchun's letter of surrender and the gift list he attached with a smile.

The envoy didn't expect Luo Cheng to be so talkative, and he agreed in a few words. When he came, he was still thinking about how to persuade Luo Cheng to accept this harsh additional condition.

"Thank you, General."

"Well, go back and give me a message to let City Lord Yang take good care of his wounds. Since he has surrendered to me, Tai Sui, with his ability, he will definitely be able to bestow Fei Peijin in the future, which is extremely rich."

The envoy looked back three times at a step, always feeling a little unreal.

"General, this Yang Wanchun is obviously a false surrender."

The outspoken Yu Chiliang spoke bluntly.

"Nonsense, how can you doubt the sincerity and loyalty of City Lord Yang?" Luo Cheng glared at him.

Yu Chiliang stared at him and wanted to refute, but Murong Changsheng had already kicked him.

Coming out of the tent, Yu Chiliang asked Murong Changsheng dissatisfied.

"Why didn't you let me talk about it just now? It's obvious that Yang Wanchun is a false surrender. If you really want to surrender, how can there be such a nonsense additional condition, and you won't open the city."

Murong Changsheng shook his head, he just felt that this old guy was really fierce, but he was too weak.

"Brother Liang, I'm calling you Brother Liang, do you think you're smarter than our general?"

Yu Chiliang rubbed his head, "General Luo should be smarter, sometimes, he always has a lot of tricks."

"What kind of words do you use blindly? How can it be called scheming, that's called cleverness and wisdom. Although our general is young, he is first-class in terms of intelligence. Even our Yan Guogong can't compare with this kind of thinking and brain."

"Then why is he so confused today? It is said that a wise man is bound to make mistakes if he thinks about everything. It seems that what he said is true." Yu Chiliang said.

Murong Changsheng smiled helplessly.

"Brother, that's not the case at all. In fact, General Luo has seen through Yang Wanchun's mind. He has been playing with him from the very beginning. You think General Luo doesn't know the little thoughts of the defeated general. But why? The general won’t break it? Anyway, it doesn’t delay our affairs, why don’t we just play with him.”

Murong Changsheng explained to Yu Chiliang that Luo Cheng pretended to attack the city at the foot of the new city, but in fact he had already sent several soldiers to sweep the surrounding areas. He stayed at the city to prevent the soldiers from leaving the city. .

Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, just tease Yang Wanchun, and test his reality.

Who knew that Yang Wanchun would reveal himself immediately, and hand over several thousand taels of gold and silver. Isn't this just a windfall?

After all the soldiers and horses cleaned up the outer area, the captured Goguryeo people couldn't take them away, so they simply rushed to the new city and asked them to fill in the trenches. In fact, Luo Ben didn't really want to attack the city, and the trenches were just borrowed from the defenders. The arrows just killed them.

Anyway, these people can't be taken away, let alone sent to the rear to sell.

Although the final killing with a borrowed knife was a bit cruel, that's what war is like.

When these people are finished killing, Luo Chengcheng will also withdraw his troops. It is impossible to surround the new city all the time, but the Goguryeo people don't know.So Luo Cheng cheated Yang Wanchun again by the way, telling him that he wanted to attack the city.

Seeing that the attack was so fierce during the day, Yang Wanchun was really afraid that the Sui army would really attack.So he had to come up with another delaying plan, giving money and pretending to surrender. He just wanted to delay a little more time, so he pretended to surrender.

Luo Cheng can't see through it?
I've seen it through, I've seen it through.

But Luo Chengcheng didn't point out, don't talk about it, he really cooperated with Yang Wanchun in every way.

"Why do you want to do this?"

"You are stupid, what good is it for us if you break it, but it will be of great benefit if you don't do it."

Don't point out, Yang Wanchun surrendered on leave and Luo Cheng accepted it, then tomorrow Luo Cheng can take advantage of the situation to make a break, and lead the troops to continue to the Yalu River.As for whether Yang Wanchun really surrendered or pretended to surrender after he left, that's none of Luo Cheng's business.

Anyway, on Luo Cheng's side, he had already forced Xincheng to surrender. As long as he wrote a report and Yang Wanchun's letter of surrender, then Luo Cheng made another great contribution, breaking down a fortress of a twelve-mile city.

As for Yang Wanchun's follow-up rebellion, it has nothing to do with Luo Cheng?

After all, Luo Cheng has a mission, and he can't stay under Xincheng all the time.

"Understood? If you break it, there is no benefit at all. If you don't break it, our Left Five Army has already broken through Xincheng and forced Yang Wanchun."

"Oh, so it is."

Yu Chiliang finally understood the twists and turns.

"But, but Yang Wanchun didn't really surrender."

"Hey, why can't you turn the corner? It doesn't matter whether he surrendered for real or falsely. Anyway, in our place, he has already surrendered. For example, whoever comes over to accept the surrender and fails in the end, then That's his problem."

"Then whoever takes over this stall will be unlucky." Yu Chiliang said.

"That's right, but it has nothing to do with us."

In the military tent on the other side.

Luo Cheng is still talking to Yuwen Shiji.

"Yang Wanchun really surrendered?" Yuwen Shiji couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's a real surrender. Haven't you seen the letter of surrender?" Luo Cheng walked over and patted the envoy on the shoulder, "You are the envoy of the Fifth Left Army personally appointed by His Majesty. It should be handled by you. But the task of our Left Fifth Army is very heavy. The imperial court only gave us 30-day rations. This [-]-day rations included the round-trip food. When we arrived at the city of Pyongyang, there was a deadline of [-] days. From here to Pyongyang, it’s more than a thousand miles.”

"So, we can't stay here for a long time. This is my plan. Since Yang Wanchun led Xincheng to surrender, the war here will be over. As for me, I will continue to march with the Fifth Left Army, and you, Ambassador Yuwen, will stay Come down and take charge of handling the surrender.”

Yuwenshi frowned.

"If you leave, it's not good for me to be here alone." He said with some concern.

Luo Cheng suggested to him with a smile, "I also want to keep some brothers here, but our mission is urgent, how about this, Wei Weisiqing Tang Guogong Li Yuan is now in Xuantu City, only a hundred miles away from here, You can send a letter to Tang Guogong and ask him to come and handle the surrender with you. Tang Guogong is a relative of the emperor and an important minister of the Nine Ministers, so it is quite important for him to preside over this matter."

Yuwen Shiji wanted to say something more, but Luo Cheng patted him on the shoulder to keep him from speaking.

Early the next morning, Luo Cheng broke out of camp and set off, leading his army to continue eastward. When he left, he also took away a total of 5000 taels of gold and 6000 taels of silver, another 1000 shi of grain, and more than 300 head of livestock that he had extorted from Yang Wanchun in Xincheng , More than [-] Goguryeo beauties hit the road.

At the big camp, only Yuwen Shi and his few followers were left, and a lowered flag fluttered in the morning wind, looking a little lonely.

Yuwen Shiji looked at the closed gate of Xincheng, thought for a while, but still didn't have the guts to call the gate.

"Let's go, go back to Xuantu City first, and invite Tang Guogong to enter the city to accept the surrender."

Yuwen Shiji also left with a few people.

New town.

The people of Goguryeo reported to Yang Wanchun that Luo Cheng led the army to go east, and Yuwen Shiji went west.

"The Sui army really retreated?"

"It seems they believed our surrender, how stupid."

Goguryeo generals talked about it a lot.

Yang Wanchun kept a gloomy face and said nothing.

At the same time, a good news was being sent back by a cavalryman of the Fifth Left Army.

"Great victory, great victory, the Fifth Army of the Left has another victory, and Xincheng surrenders!"
