After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Chapter 155
Mr. Jia looked down at Shen Qingjun's heated discussion and suddenly interjected, "I have received a tip that this woman is leading the army non-stop towards Shuntian City. According to this, it is only eighty miles, two days' journey." He said at all times. He sent people to pay attention to the movements of the imperial army,
"The court is so quick! No wonder the Zhao family is so anxious. This time the court...is really coming with bad intentions!"

"Damn the Zhao family, their news must be much faster than ours. Zhang Yuancheng... This thief is about to die. We can't be dragged into death by him! We must break away from Zhang thief as soon as possible and surrender to the court!"

"Everyone, if anyone has a way to surrender, can you recommend it to me? My family will definitely accept his kindness."

Why were everyone so anxious when they heard that Shen Qingjun was coming soon? Because surrendering would be a blessing!Otherwise, if it's too late, it won't be surrender but surrender. By then, everyone will have to bear the reputation of being a thief and they won't be able to wash it off!
"Shen Qingjun is the commander-in-chief of the First Army. Whether she accepts us or not is just a matter of words. I wonder what her preferences are?"

"It would be much easier to please her if she were a man. My daughter is just sixteen this year, and she is both talented and beautiful..."

"Actually, she can be a woman. I have a grandson who also looks like Pan An and is more talented than Zijian. He can be sent to serve her!"

"Yes! It's a pity that among our family, the highest is no more than a county magistrate or a county captain. Even if we know other people's preferences, so what? We can't be as good as them!"

"Cough... cough..." Listening to the increasingly crooked topic, Mr. Jia had to cough twice.

"Family heads, don't be too anxious. Zhang Thief is different from Liu Thief. He has eighteen fortresses as gateways and a Shuntian City!

"Sacking a city is not a field battle. Although Thief Zhang will die, he will not die quickly. Neither the eighteen fortresses nor Shuntian City are easy to attack. It is impossible for this woman to defeat Thief Liu in one day. Kill Thief Zhang! Don’t worry, we still have time to plan slowly!”

After hearing what Mr. Jia said, everyone realized, yes, Shen Qingjun can kill Liu thief in one day, but she can never kill Zhang thief in one day. Zhang Yuancheng is a ruthless person hiding inside a turtle shell.

Mainly because her record of wiping out Liu Jinguang in one day was so shocking that even the family heads didn't even turn around. When they heard that she was only two days away, they subconsciously thought that Zhang Yuancheng was going to be wiped out in two days. .

"What Mr. Jia said is that we are confused. Since ancient times, siege warfare has never been easy. I think she will never be able to defeat Zhang Thief within two or three months this time. We do still have time to plan. "

"Haha, it's a matter of life and death for the family, so it's understandable that everyone is anxious." Mr. Jia said,

"Actually, I think that based on Thief Zhang's talent, it is possible to hold on for a year and a half, not to mention two or three months. What do you think of the families? Only in this way will the imperial court need us more!"

After hearing Mr. Jia's suggestive words, the people here looked at each other and looked at each other with tacit understanding.

Jia Lao's words were not clearly stated, but everyone understood them. The unspecified words implied that when the court and Zhang Yuancheng were fighting, they should not cause trouble for Zhang Yuancheng first, and they could even help Zhang thief defend the city. It would be best if they could Zhang Yuancheng lasted for a year and a half!
Wait until Shen Qingjun is unable to attack for a long time and take the initiative to contact them. Only then will they be able to negotiate terms!
It should be noted that what they are busy with is not business, and there is a big difference between providing help in times of need and adding the icing on the cake!Therefore, after hearing Mr. Jia's hint, everyone present had the idea of ​​​​selling for a price, and they all bowed to Mr. Jia:
"Whenever we surrender, we will only follow Mr. Jia's lead."

……

"Report, report to the king, the imperial army has been spotted twenty miles away from here, and it is rushing towards us." A day later, Zhang Yuancheng's spies found traces of Shen Qingjun's army, and Shanshan came to report...

Unlike Liu Jinguang, Zhang Yuancheng didn't know he was touched by Shen Qingjun. He also sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the imperial army, but his people were not as well-informed as Jia Lao to find out the information.

After half a day.

On August [-], Shen Qingjun led [-] troops to the Iron Gate Fort, the first fortress built by Zhang Yuancheng, and built a camp near the city, preparing to launch an attack the next day.The thieves on the Iron Gate Fort were also on guard.

God is not beautiful...

"Boom...pika..."

In the middle of the night, a sudden summer rainstorm interrupted Shen Qingjun's plan for a quick victory. The officials and thieves had to defend their camps and live in peace for the time being.

When Zhang Yuancheng heard the spies' report, he brought Sun Desheng and other confidants to Iron Gate Fort.

It was raining heavily outside the tent, and Shen Qingjun gathered his generals to discuss matters...

Shen Qingjun coughed lightly and asked everyone for advice:

"The Thief Army has a large number of soldiers in the city, which is different from Liu Thief. As far as I know, the Thief Army claims to have 'one city, eighteen forts, and one hundred and six thousand generals'. How do the generals think I should respond?"

Duan Chun said contemptuously:
"A little thief dares to call himself a hundred thousand generals, and he is not afraid of using his tongue. If he can find five generals in the thief army, I will respect him Zhang Yuancheng!"

"I believe that the traitor army has one city and eighteen forts. After all, you can see these. But I don't believe that there are one hundred and six thousand generals. In my opinion, the traitor army has a maximum of 5 people, and there are too many supplies to support the army. It consumes too much and he can’t afford it! And Zhang Thief doesn’t seem to be someone who blindly expands his troops!”

Fang Jiwei said that as Shen Qingjun's chief steward, he knew the cost of raising soldiers. The more soldiers the better, but you have to be able to raise them. His guess was not bad, Zhang Yuancheng had 6000 soldiers.

"The Art of War says: 'The art of using troops is to surround it by ten, attack it by five, fight it by doubling it, fight it if the enemy is small, run away if it is small, and avoid it if it is small. Therefore, the enemy is strong when it is small, and it is strong when it is large. The enemy can capture him.'

Even according to Fang Canjun's guess, the number of the rebel army is almost equal to that of our army. Our army has the advantage of elite troops and the vigor of the army, while the rebel army also has the advantage of a mountain city. The number is the same, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to defeat them! Liu He said.

"Governor, why don't you contact the wealthy families in the city as an insider? Zhang Yuancheng uses despicable means to force the wealthy families to surrender to him. I think most of the wealthy families in the city will have different intentions and may want to surrender to us." Wei Wen suggested.

"Wei Dutong's plan is feasible, but it can only be done in the later stages of the war!"

"We all know that the wealthy clan will have a quarrel with Zhang thief. The wealthy clan has the intention to surrender to the imperial court, but why didn't Zhang thief know this earlier? This person is probably very wary of the wealthy clan! It is difficult for us to contact him!" Murong Wugong explained,

"Moreover, the wealthy families are all those who adapt to the changing circumstances. They will never take big risks and surrender to us before we have an absolute advantage." Murong Wugong continued.

"They even hope that we can fight Zhang Thief for a while! This will make it easier for them to raise prices!" Fang Jiwei always likes to guess the worst about human nature, but this time he did guess it right.
