Chapter 275: Eager to Prove
Tai Shi Ci Chen Bing Yangyi deterred the party.
After Zhao Hui received the news, he gave Tai Shici three months.
Whether it is to destroy Zhang Yang, or to force Zhang Yang to surrender.
In short, within three months, full control of the state.
To exterminate the Huns and the Baibo army, Tai Shici took a total of three months.
Most of the time was on the road, and the actual battle was only a day or two.
Whether it was the Huns or the White Polish army, they were wiped out in a battle.
Zhao Hui only gave three months, and Tai Shici didn't feel urgent.
Three months was enough time for him to conquer Shangdang County.
In the first month, Tai Shici did not send troops, and he trained with 20,000 elite soldiers every day.
Military parade outside Yangyi City.
Tai Shici stood on the city wall, watching the pairs of soldiers walk under the city of Yangyi.
Although Tai Shi Ci was on the city wall, it was not for him to see.
It's for Zhang Yang to see.
Since he is an elite, Tai Shici is not afraid of being known by Zhang Yang.
He just wants to publicize and know that the soldiers in his hands are strong and the swords and guns are advantageous.
What Tai Shici did naturally reached Zhang Yang's ears.
I heard from my subordinates how Tai Shici's soldiers were elite and powerful, and they were invincible.
Zhang Yang was not convinced, and even went to Yangyi to see it once in person after dressing up.
Looking at the city of Yangyi, the soldiers in a neat queue and a solemn appearance.
Zhang Yang undeniably this is the strongest army he has ever seen.
Even Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, in terms of just looking at the formation and military appearance, it is not as good as the one in front of him.
But even the army in Tai Shici's hands is very strong in combat.
If this was an army of 50,000 people, Zhang Yang would still have a little worry in his heart.
But there are only 20,000 people, and Zhang Yang doesn't believe that Tai Shici can use these 20,000 people to break through the Shangdang City where he is stationed.
If he had 50,000 soldiers in his hands and couldn't hold it in the face of Tai Shici's 20,000 troops attacking the city, he would indeed surrender directly. lest they be slain in the future.
After seeing Tai Shici's soldiers and horses, Zhang Yang quietly returned to the party.
In Shangdang County, in the face of the menacing Tai Shici, there have always been voices of surrender.
And after seeing and hearing the news that Tai Shi Ci's soldiers were strong and their swords were sharp, these people's voices became even louder.
Many of them have never seen it with their own eyes, and everything has only been heard.
Tai Shici paraded in Yangyi, which failed to scare Zhang Yang, but frightened the rest of the party.
Nine counties in the state, and now the eight counties are all under Zhao Hui, and many people have no heart to resist.
For them, surrender is a better option.
If they follow the propaganda and then be defeated, their interests will definitely be damaged along with it.
It's better to surrender now, even if you don't get any benefits, it won't hurt.
For these people, Zhang Yang also saw it very clearly, and dismissed several loud voices from their official positions and put them in prison.
After Zhang Yang put the loudest people in prison, the voice of surrender in Shangdang County finally became a little quieter.
Everyone understands what Zhang Yang means, even if they want to surrender in their hearts, they will not say it in front of Zhang Yang again.
A month has passed, and Zhang Yang has no intention of surrendering at all.
In the second month, Tai Shici led a large army and entered the territory of Shangdang.
The gentry and officials in the upper party were even more worried in the face of Tai Shici's army.
They feared that if the city was destroyed, their belongings would be robbed of their belongings, or their lives would be lost.
No one wants to die with Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang's control over the gentry of the Shangdang family is not very strong.
Even those who shouted for surrender, Zhang Yang only dared to detain them temporarily, and after a while, he still had to let them out.
Zhang Yang was already ready to fight with Tai Shici.
However, Tai Shici's army did not attack after coming to Shangdang City.
20,000 people set up camp in a place outside the Shangdang City.
Zhang Yang went to the city wall every day, waiting for Tai Shi Ci to attack, but from morning to night, he didn't see a single soldier come to the city, let alone Tai Shi Ci.
Tai Shici didn't even go out of the gate of the camp every day.
Just send out rangers to ensure that there will be no Zhang Yang soldiers and horses around his camp to prevent Zhang Yang from sneaking up on the camp.
Tai Shici's purpose is to put pressure on Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang occupies the party, defends the wall, and wants to attack it, with the 20,000 elites in his hands, there is only the possibility of a sneak attack.
Zhang Yang is confident that he can block Tai Shici's offensive.
Because he knows very well the difficulty of attacking the city with 20,000 elites.
Tai Shici is also very clear, so the month before, he just paraded in Yangyi to show Zhang Yang his strength.
In the second month, Tai Shici still didn't plan to attack.
Zhao Hui gave him three months, Tai Shici didn't feel urgent, he had a way to take Zhang Yang.
But he never thought of storming the party.
Zhang Yang stood on the city wall for six days in a row, and finally stopped going up the city wall.
It's just that Tai Shici has not moved, which makes Zhang Yang very upset.
He was well prepared, and he was not afraid of Tai Shi Ci attacking the city at all.
He would prefer to see Tai Shi Ci attacking the city.
As long as Tai Shi Ci attacked the city, and failed to defeat it.
Zhang Yang can stabilize the gentry in the city, as well as his subordinate officials.
The problem with going to the party now is that apart from Zhang Yang, few people think that they can stop Tai Shici.
But Zhang Yang himself knows very well that in this battle, just looking at the strength of him and Tai Shi Ciming, he is more likely to win.
Although the other eight counties in the state have all taken refuge in Zhao Hui, they have not given Tai Shici other help except for the funding of grain and grass.
Now, as long as he fights with Tai Shi Ci and let others see that his brabeut can indeed block Tai Shi Ci's attack, he can suppress the voice of the surrender faction and stabilize the hearts of other people in the city.
Many people in the city only saw Tai Shi Ci exterminate the Huns and the Baibo army, but Zhang Yang did not.
They only saw nine counties in the state, and eight counties belonged to Zhao Hui, and Zhao Hui was too powerful to resist.
Zhang Yang needs a battle to prove his strength.
But now, Tai Shici didn't give him this opportunity.
Tai Shi Ci camped outside the city, even if he didn't attack the city, it could make the people in the city even more frightened.
Zhang Yang has the confidence to defend the city, but when he says that he will fight with Tai Shici, he still doesn't have this confidence.
But even if the confidence is low, you can see that whether it is the officials, the gentry, and the people at the bottom of the city, they are now panicking.
Zhang Yang also knew that he couldn't go on like this.
Originally, he could use time to drag down Tai Shici's army.
But now, without waiting for Taishi Ci's grain and grass to be in a hurry, Shangdang County will collapse first.
Zhang Yang is in dire need of a battle to prove himself. Build confidence in the people in the city, relieve their fears, and let them understand that Shangdang County can be defended.
