Chapter 1110 Siege

The defenders of Baishan County were frightened and did not leave the city. Wang Junlin pitied the lives of the soldiers and was unwilling to attack the city by secondment, so he asked Lu Han to drive the captured Goguryeo soldiers to dig trenches around Baishan County and pile them up.

It was surrounded by an earthen wall, completely turning Baishan County into an isolated city.

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

The person sent to persuade him to surrender was a captured general who was originally from a local wealthy family. He was related to many civil and military officials in the city. He was able to disarm Baishan County without any bloodshed. It would be good for everyone to gain access to Baishan County.

, but it was not successful.

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

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

At noon on the fourth day, Wang Junlin, who was in charge of Xiaotong and Lu Han, called Zhang Tiangang to discuss the matter. A soldier knelt down on one knee at the door of the tent and said: "Your Majesty, the city guard Li Yuanpeng sent an envoy to ask for an audience, and they have arrived.

Lots of curios and women.”

Everyone laughed. Li Yuanpeng had given in. Wang Junlin smiled at the three of them and said, "Let's go and see this gift that Li Yuanpeng gave us."

The three of them followed Wang Junlin to the outside of the camp. A 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 had set very strict military regulations. The generals and soldiers below

I dare not contact these Goguryeo people privately.

At this time, the camp gate opened and the cavalry of the special force rushed out. Immediately afterwards, Wang Junlin, Zhang Tiangang, Lu Han, and Guan Xiaotong rode out of the camp.

The guard envoy of Baishan County quickly ordered ten carefully selected beautiful girls to get out of the car and line up. He also had three boxes of jewelry, gold and jade carried down. He quickly walked to Wang Junlin and knelt down and said: "The villain is Baishan County.

Servants of the guard, please see your lord!"

Wang Junlin said calmly: "What did Li Yuanpeng send you to do?"

"My general has specially prepared a small gift for you, Your Majesty, because he wants to call a truce with you."

The messenger pointed at ten beautiful girls and said: "These ten beauties are all the most beautiful girls selected in the city. They are all perfect and are given to you for your bed. There are also three boxes of jewelry, gold and jade that are also treasures collected in the city. Special

It is dedicated to you for use as military supplies, and I only ask you to leave Baishan County and go elsewhere."

Wang Junlin walked up to the ten beautiful girls and took a look at them. The ten girls all saluted. He walked to the box again, and his soldiers stepped forward and opened the three boxes. They were all gold and silver jewelry, sparkling and dazzling.

.

Wang Junlin turned around and asked the envoy with a smile: "Does Li Yuanpeng want to surrender to me?"

The envoy was stunned, shook his head hurriedly and said: "My general is from a wealthy 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 means."

"Other ways to satisfy?"

Wang Junlin sneered, raised his hand and pointed at the ten beautiful girls and three treasure boxes, and said: "These are the women and property in Baishan County. If I capture Baishan County, they will not be allowed to be taken by me, how can it be?"

I need Li Yuanpeng to send it. You can also want me to retreat. As long as Li Yuanpeng sends one million taels of silver and one million stones of grain to support my army, I will lead my people to retreat, not attack his Baishan County, and use the road to Annan.

County, this is my condition."

The messenger wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "It will take time to collect one million taels of silver and one million stones of grain. Can you please extend us a month? We will definitely deliver it in one month."

Wang Junlin thought to himself that this person was probably not Li Yuanpeng's servant, but probably an aide or something like that. At this time, he was able to take advantage of the situation to delay time. He was considered a talent. The Goguryeo city he occupied now needed someone to govern the place and manage Goguryeo.

Common people, it is best for this person to be a Goguryeo person, and some Goguryeo scholars who are capable but not good at it are Wang Junlin's first choice.

Although he was thinking this, 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 sent after seven days, I will lead people to conquer Baishan County."

"Yes! Yes! I understand. I will go back and tell my general what you mean."

After the messenger knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Junlin, he hurriedly mounted his horse and returned with two followers. When Wang Junlin saw them walking away, he pointed at the ten girls and said to his Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Tiangang: "These ten girls

There are three girls, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong, and four Zhang Tiangang. You can keep them as concubines, or you can give them to your subordinates who have made great achievements, but it is not possible right now. Tell the people below about your intention and wait for them.

Let’s talk about it after we get down to Baishan County.”

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

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

As soon as Wang Junlin returned to his tent, Jin Sanhu, the last among the Goguryeo generals who had been demoted in the Battle of Baengnyeong Island, walked in, knelt down on one knee and said directly to Wang Junlin: "I see you for your humble position, sir."

Wang Junlin gave Jin Sanhu a casual position in the army and stayed with him all the time.

"I heard that the deputy general Jin Xiaowu next to Baishan County Guard Li Yuanpeng is from your Jin clan." Wang Junlin said straight to the point.

Jin Sanhu was a smart man, and he immediately understood what Wang Junlin meant, and said quickly: "Sir, we have quite a few members of the Jin clan. Although I knew that Jin Xiaowu was one of our clansmen before, I had never seen him before.

We are not acquainted with each other. If you want to use the tactic of alienation, the general named Cui Hongguang whom you captured in Nanyang Village is a more suitable person."

"Oh! What is the relationship between Cui Hongguang and Jin Xiaowu?" Wang Junlin asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Sir, this Cui Hongguang is Jin Xiaowu's nephew." Jin Sanhu said quickly.





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

Walking into Li's Mansion, he heard the miserable cry of a woman in the distance. Jin Xiaowu shook his head secretly. He knew that it was Li Yuanpeng who was in a irritable mood again and hit women to vent his inner anger. Although Li Yuanpeng was a good boss, he was reluctant to listen to suggestions.

, he is generous in trying to win over people, but he has a bad temper and will use women to vent his anger when he is slightly unsatisfied.

But it’s no wonder that Li Yuanpeng was angry today. The two military strongholds in the north and south outside the city were easily lost. He vowed to send a large army out to fight in the field, but the result was a disastrous defeat, with nearly half of them lost. Now the defenders in the city were already worthless. Not to mention the remaining 3,000 people, the outside of the city was actually occupied by the Sui Dynasty.

People dug trenches and built walls of earth to surround them.
