Eunuch Bai took the small box and said with a smile: "Hey, General Jiang, what are you doing? As the saying goes, no merit will be rewarded, and you are too outsider..."
Jiang Hong said with a smile, "These are the spoils of war against the bandits in the past two months. My father-in-law worked hard to come from the capital to work for us. It is only natural that we should seize the rebellious things."
Eunuch Bai smiled and said, "Since General Jiang said this, our family will accept it first. Now that we see General Jiang running the army so well, our family is relieved. However, His Majesty also has a few questions that he wants to let you know."
Let us ask the General on behalf of His Majesty."
Jiang Hong immediately straightened his clothes, clasped his fists and said, "The last general should tell you everything he knows, and he will tell you everything!"
Eunuch Bai smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. Your Majesty just wants us to come over and ask why General Jiang is still leading troops to recover the counties. Logically speaking, he can enter Shuzhou City and pass through two counties."
Only if they can come to Shuzhou City, the rebel leader must be stubbornly resisting in Shuzhou City, why does General Jiang choose to evade the important and take the easy?"
After Jiang Hong heard Eunuch Bai's question, he had already thought of his words and answered: "Reporting to Eunuch Bai, when the King of Han of Chu attacked the grassland, he discovered that large tribes on the grassland lived around small tribes.
, so the opportunity was proposed to attack the small tribes first and then use the small tribes to surround the large tribes. Although in the end it was discovered that the grassland tribes would migrate from time to time, this plan was not fully realized, but the general thought that this plan would be placed in Shuzhou.
However, it may not be inappropriate for rebellion, because the people of Shuzhou will not move back and forth like the grassland. If this plan is used properly, the weak points of the rebels will be cleared first, the surrounding lost territory will be recovered, and finally the city will be attacked. This will be more decisive for the rebels.
As long as the city is broken and the rebels have no way to escape, they will surely be captured alive!"
After hearing Jiang Hong's words, Eunuch Bai nodded and said, "Well, we admire General Bai's thoughtfulness and we will write a memorial and submit it to the court. General Jiang is a real pillar of our Zhao country. This
There is absolutely no adulteration in every battle report!"
Jiang Hong bowed and said: "Eunuch Bai is so complimentary, please give me some kind words when the time comes."
Eunuch Bai smiled softly and said, "Look at what the general said. How can we not report the truth to our family when the general is dedicated to serving the country?"
Jiang Hong took out another small box, and Eunuch Bai's eyes suddenly widened again: "Oh, this is great loyalty!"
Jiang Hong also smiled apologetically and said, "These are trophies, trophies...father-in-law..."
Eunuch Bai said with a smile: "If the Zhao State is full of loyal and patriotic generals like General Jiang, wouldn't our Zhao State be invincible?"
Jiang Hong immediately said: "Don't dare, don't dare..."
Eunuch Bai said: "Hey...if the general doesn't dare, then no one in Zhao will dare."
At this point, Eunuch Bai changed the subject and said, "However, we still have to convey the message for Your Majesty. Your Majesty hopes that the general can quickly break through the city and capture all the rebels."
Jiang Hong said, "Yes! To be honest with my father-in-law, our army has already begun to set up camp and build siege equipment. I believe that we will be able to break open the city gate in a few days and kill every rebel."
Eunuch Bai laughed when he heard this and said, "Then our family would like to congratulate the general in advance on his triumphant victory over the city!"
Jiang Hong said quickly; "Don't dare, don't dare..."
Of course, although Jiang Hong said this on the surface, in his heart he also very much hoped to break through the city wall and enter the city quickly.
Although Bai Fu's character is that if you have money, I will be able to talk to you, but after all, you still have to let Bai Fu see the real scene. If Bai Fu can't see anything and his eyes darken, His Majesty will ask Bai Fu for permission after returning to the court.
What was the scene like when he was fighting against the army? Bai Fu couldn't come up with a reason for a long time, so how could he highlight his bravery?
At least let Bai Fu see the scene of the siege. When he describes it to His Majesty, he can highlight his bravery, right?
After all, even if you want to add fuel and vinegar to your meal, you have to cook it first, right?
Thinking of this, Jiang Hong began to send people to speed up the progress of building siege equipment.
This is about your own future.
After Jiang Hong went out, Bai Fu stared at the two small boxes with a satisfied smile on his face. After opening them, what was inside was a piece of brilliant gold!
The color looks very good!
He said that he would be able to make a lot of money this time.
To say that he could only go in and out all his life, there was only one exception, and that was Xu Qing, the king of Han who came from Chu State.
Who wouldn’t give a gift to you when you see him?
But after meeting him, I lost a lot of money!
But luckily, I don't feel annoyed now that I can't see him.
It would be fatal if someone from Zhao country saw him every day!
How embarrassing?
Within ten days, the imperial army had already built siege equipment, including siege cones, ladders and other items.
In front of the big tent, Jiang Hong looked at the deputy general and said: "The army is preparing to attack the city!"
The deputy general said: "Reporting to the general, the stones for the catapult have not been transported yet."
Shuzhou City was built in a flat and open area in Shuzhou. There was a moat on the outside. There were no natural stones around, so it was necessary to run up the mountain to transport stones to Shuzhou City for the catapults used to attack the city.
.
It's obvious that the catapults haven't brought up enough stones yet.
Jiang Hong gritted his teeth and said: "We won't wait until the stone is transported! There are only 30,000 troops inside, and only 10,000 of the 30,000 people have armor. Our army has 200,000 including auxiliary troops! Is it still possible?
Can't take down a small Shuzhou city with only 30,000 people garrisoned?! Do you still need to use engineering equipment like catapults? The imperial court spends so much money to support you to make a living?! This is simply unreasonable! Prepare ladders and destroy the city
Cone! Attack!"
Naturally, the lieutenant general did not dare to disobey Jiang Hong's order, so he quickly surrendered and prepared for a strong attack.
Xiao Ye was naturally aware of all the situations outside Shuzhou City. The enemy army also adopted the tactic of surrounding three and missing one, leaving a glimmer of hope for the enemy.
However, Xiao Ye, who was sitting in the city, had no fluctuations in his heart towards this method of warfare, and even wanted to laugh a little.
How weak do the enemy forces think they are?
Did you come with Sanque?
Are you qualified to use this tactic?
Xiao Ye immediately issued an order. If the enemy is found to be attacking, 60% of the people must lie down temporarily and do not show their heads. The rest are only allowed to fire sparse arrows. Before the leading enemy crosses the moat,
, Catapults are not allowed to release firearms, but are only allowed to throw stones to show the enemy's weakness and lure the troops to go deeper.
