After Wang Can finished speaking, he didn't care and led his troops to retreat.
Perhaps, Wang Can's words were not enough to tempt Yan Yan, but they left a seed in the hearts of the Yizhou soldiers. As long as there was an appropriate opportunity, this seed could take root and sprout.
Yan Yan was also very depressed. She was splashed with dirty water by Wang Can, but she couldn't refute.
Even if he spoke to refute, he seemed weak and unconvincing.
After Wang Can led the army back to the camp, Guo Jia was waiting in the tent. When Wang Can entered the tent, Guo Jia bowed to Wang Can and then asked: "My lord, how is the matter?"
Wang Can said: "It has been completed. I believe that the soldiers under Yan Yan's command are all distracted and are considering whether Pang Xi is really dead."
Guo Jiadao: "We not only want to make the Yizhou soldiers suspicious, but also to convince them. My lord, Jia has sent people to take the heads of Pang Xi, Yang Huai and Gao Pei. There will be heavy fog tomorrow, so it is just right to
The heads of the three men were tied to wooden poles and stuck outside Baocheng for the soldiers on the tower of Baocheng to watch. As long as the soldiers under Yan Yan recognized Pang Xi and the others, they would immediately believe that what their lord said was true, and they would also want to
I wonder if we should continue to resist."
Wang Can put his palms together and smiled: "Following filial piety is an exhaustive strategy, wonderful! Wonderful!"
Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "Thank you, my lord!"
…
Wang Can gave Yan Yan a limited time of four days to let Yan Yan fully think about it. The purpose was also to let the Yizhou soldiers stationed in Baocheng ponder the matter carefully. Yizhou soldiers were talkative, even if most of the soldiers were loyal to Yan Yan, I believe
Yan Yan is loyal and willing to follow Yan Yan to death. However, there will always be soldiers who are afraid of death and will worry about Chengpo being killed, and will work hard to expand their influence and develop it in favor of Wang Can.
The next day, as Guo Jia said, the fog was thick and hazy, and the visibility was very low.
The soldiers stationed in Baocheng stood on the tower and could not clearly see the situation in the distance. In such weather, the soldiers would be on heightened alert to prevent Wang Can from leading troops to attack the city.
The soldiers patrolled back and forth, paying close attention, but there was a burst of chaotic footsteps in the distance.
After the footsteps, I remembered the dull and high-pitched sound of war drums again.
The captain who was responsible for guarding the safety of the city tower heard the sound of drums in the distance and looked intently, unable to see clearly what was going on outside the city tower. He looked solemnly, looked at the soldiers beside him, and ordered loudly: "Tell the general immediately, just say
Wang Can has led an army to attack Baocheng and is preparing to attack Baocheng. Please come here quickly." After a pause, he shouted again: "Everyone, be careful and prepare to meet the enemy!" After saying this, the captain drew his sword with a clang.
With the sword on his waist, he just stared at the vast white field outside the city.
The sound of war drums and shouts of killing continued to be heard from afar, and in the blink of an eye they reached the bottom of the city tower.
However, the white fog obscured his vision, and the captain could not clearly see the situation outside the city.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yan Yan led a group of soldiers to the tower and asked, "What happened?"
The captain raised his hands and replied: "Reporting to the general, Wang Can led the troops to attack and stationed troops outside the city, but they did not continue to attack the city, and the army did not move at all."
The captain was very puzzled. It had been a quarter of an hour and he still hadn't sent troops to attack the city.
Yan Yan frowned when he heard this.
The Hanzhong army rushed outside the city tower but did not launch an attack. Why?
After thinking about it, the captain suggested: "General, the heavy fog surrounds us and we can't see clearly what's going on outside the city tower. We can just shoot with random arrows. Regardless of whether Wang Can attacks the city or not, we can kill Wang Can's soldiers."
Yan Yan shook his head and waved his hand to refuse: "There are not many arrows in the city, so we can't waste them."
Yan Zhi said again: "General, are you willing to lead the troops to inquire about the situation?"
Yan Yan still shook his head and said: "Wang Can's army is outside the city, waiting in full formation. We can't clearly see how many people are outside the city. If you lead the troops and rush out, and encounter Wang Can's army, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
All we can do now is to guard the city gate and put the soldiers on tight alert. When the fog dissipates, Wang Can's tricks will naturally reveal their flaws."
The captain nodded, raised his hands and praised: "The general is wise!"
Yan Yan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, is he wise?
What a wise ass!
Wang Can was stationing troops under his nose, but he did not dare to lead the troops to attack. He was such a coward, and only he would do this.
In fact, Yan Yan has been forced into a dilemma by Wang Can and is unable to resist. Yan Yan wants to rush out with a large ring knife to fight Wang Can, but he has no supply of troops, no supplies of food and grass, no supply of arrows... Every time
You must be cautious in every move you make, and do not dare to start a fight with Wang Can at will.
Outside the city, it was still foggy.
However, the war drums were roaring when Yan Yan did not arrive at the tower, but now it was silent.
"General, the war drums have stopped and there is no movement from Wang Can. Have they retreated?" Yan Zhi's face was full of doubts, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes. The war drums were roaring just now, but now they are silent again. It is really difficult to guess.
Yan Yan also had a puzzled look on his face. He stared at the vast white fog and sighed: "Now we can only stop with silence and cope with all changes by remaining unchanged. We will wait until the fog dissipates."
"promise!"
Yan Zhi responded, looking down at the tower with wide eyes, showing doubts.
Yan Yan put his hands on the city wall, leaning forward slightly, with a worried look on his face. Since yesterday, Wang Can has been calling for formation outside the city, trying to shake the morale of the army, and now he has made a big move, which is obviously with bad intentions.
On the city tower, not only Yan Yan knew nothing, but the other soldiers were also confused.
Outside the city tower, it was quiet, with no sound at all.
Yizhou soldiers were waiting on the city tower, waiting for the fog to dissipate.
Yan Yan stood on the tower, like a statue, motionless.
Time gradually passed like this. When the golden sunshine burst out from the east and dispersed the fog shrouding the outside of the city, all the scenes gradually appeared. Each soldier stretched his neck and carefully looked at everything outside the city.
When the scene outside the city came into the eyes of the soldiers, all the soldiers were stunned.
Outside the city tower, there was nothing, only three wooden poles stuck in the ground.
"Look, there are three long poles standing outside the city."
"Sure enough, it really does exist!"
…
The soldiers opened their mouths when they saw the scene outside the tower clearly.
Yan Yan had excellent eyesight. When he looked around, he saw three long poles standing outside the city tower. On the top of the poles hung a head preserved with lime. Even though the head was a little different, Yan Yan still recognized the three heads.
Who, hanging on a long pole in the center is Pang Xi's head, and hanging on both sides are the heads of Yang Huai and Gao Pei.
"Oh, that's General Pang's head."
"Yes, yes, on the left and right are the heads of General Yang and General Gao."
"Three generals were killed, and Baocheng was left alone."
…
Among the soldiers, even though many soldiers had never seen Pang Xi, Gao Pei and Yang Huai, there were always soldiers who could recognize the appearance of the three of them. A burst of whispers immediately spread the news about Pang Xi, Yang Huai and Gao Pei.
Everyone was stunned. Three heads hung outside the city, instantly destroying the little hope the soldiers had in their hearts.
However, the facts proved that what Wang Can said was the truth and he did not tell lies.
In an instant, all the soldiers were wilted.
My heart is also full of uneasiness, and I am worried about being stationed in Baocheng.
"Someone is coming!"
Yan Yan shouted loudly. He did not care about stabilizing the morale of the soldiers, and immediately ordered: "Go and bring back the bodies of General Pang, General Gao and General Yang. It is important for people to die and to be buried in peace. Bring the corpses of the three generals back."
After bringing them back, prepare coffins and give the three generals a grand burial."
"promise!"
After receiving the order, the colonel immediately led his soldiers to carry out the order.
Under the city tower, the city gate opened, and a group of soldiers rode out of the city gate quickly and rushed towards the three erected wooden poles.
When these soldiers rushed towards the wooden pole, their hearts were filled with anxiety, fearing that there would be ambushes charging out from around them. When they reached the foot of the wooden pole and saw that there was still no movement around them, their uneasy hearts calmed down. The principal shouted loudly.
: "Quickly, cut off the wooden pole and take out the bodies of the three generals. Let's return to the city quickly."
The soldiers accompanying the primary school hurriedly cut off the wooden poles, took off the heads of the three men, and quickly returned to Baocheng.
Yan Yan also went down from the tower and returned to the city with the heads of Pang Xi, Gao Pei and Yang Huai.
At this time, the soldiers stationed in Bao City were silent, with a touch of worry on their faces, and a different meaning in their eyes.
At this moment, Yan Yan wished she could cut Wang Can into pieces.
This guy is so vicious. Yesterday he led the army to fight outside the city tower. He deliberately let him lead the Yizhou soldiers on the city tower to persuade the soldiers to surrender, and then spread the news that Pang Xi was killed. Since Wang Can did not produce evidence immediately,
Although the soldiers were uneasy, they still didn't quite believe it, but it left a shadow after all.
Today, Wang Can took advantage of the fog and mist to lead his troops outside the city, beating drums and blowing trumpets, causing the army to gather on the city tower and prepare to fight.
But Wang Can didn't give a damn and once again led his troops to retreat.
Moreover, Wang Can deliberately left the heads of Pang Xi, Yang Huai and Gao Pei outside the city. He clearly did this on purpose to let the soldiers know that Wang Can was telling the truth. Today, Baocheng has become an isolated city.
The defense can only resist stubbornly and become a turtle in the urn. Yesterday, Wang Can shook the morale of the army and was stopped by Yan Yan. Today, Yan Yan felt a headache and did not know how to deal with this matter.
The facts were before his eyes and there was no room for him to deny them.
The morale of the military suddenly became unstable.
After Yan Yan returned to the county government with the heads of Pang Xi, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, he immediately ordered the soldiers to build coffins, put Pang Xi, Gao Pei and Gao Pei into bed, and then summoned his generals to the county government to discuss matters.
At this time, Yan Yan must stabilize the general's mind.
Once these generals are thinking of surrendering, he may not even be able to sleep peacefully.
In the hall, Yan Yan looked serious and dignified.
He glanced at the generals in the hall, and then said: "Everyone, I know that you are very uneasy and afraid that Baocheng will be attacked. However, I want to ask you a question. All of you have wives, children, and parents at home.
, if you all surrender to Wang Can, what will happen to your parents, wives and children at home?"
After the words fell, a junior colonel said: "General, it's no harm to my wife and children. We surrender to Wang Can. Could it be that Liu Yan wants to implicate the nine tribes and kill my wife and children?"
When he spoke, even his title had changed.
In the past, no one would dare to call Liu Yan by his name directly.
However, now they are calling him by his first name, which shows that the generals are worried and their confidence has been shaken. In fact, it was because Yan Yan asked about things that they dared to speak like this, because the generals understand Yan Yan's temper and understand that Yan Yan is not
A duplicitous villain who says one thing but does another.
Yan Yan did not get angry, but sneered and said: "If you die for the country, Liu Yizhou will naturally treat your wives and children well, because you are the heroes of Yizhou. However, you are willing to surrender to Wang Can and become Wang Can's executioner."
Kill the remaining Yizhou soldiers. These are Liu Yizhou’s enemies. Do you think Liu Yizhou will let you go? He is eager to eat your flesh and drink your blood. Your family members will naturally not be spared."
Yan Yan's words were a bit alarmist, but they made the soldiers understand a truth.
If he is an enemy, Liu Yan will not be merciful.
If Wang Can surrenders, his wife and children at home will not be safe.
The only option is to fight to the end.
