Wang Junlin took pity on the lives of the soldiers and was unwilling to attack the city by seconding the proposal, so he asked Lu Han to drive the captured Goguryeo soldiers to dig a trench around the county town of Baishan and build an earthen wall to enclose it, completely making the county seat of Baishan an isolated city.

After doing this, Wang Junlin gave priority to persuasion.

The person sent to say surrender was a partial general who had been captured before, originally from a local clan, and many of the city's Chinese military officials were related to each other, and could disarm Baishan County without bloodshed, and it was good for everyone to get Baishan County, but it was not successful.

When Lu Han led people to fight with the defenders of Baishan County outside the city, Guan Xiaotong in the north also led people to capture Dashiling Village.

Wang Junlin ordered the army to set up camp, and he was not in a hurry to capture Baishan County immediately, he was waiting for the results of the battle between Yang Guang and Yuan Taizuo before responding.

At noon on the fourth day, Wang Junlin called Guan Xiaotong and Lu Han and Zhang Tiangang to discuss the matter, and a personal soldier knelt down on one knee at the door of the tent and said: "Lord Qiqi, Li Yuanpeng, the guard general in the city, sent a messenger to ask for a meeting, and sent a lot of treasures and women. ”

Everyone laughed, Li Yuanpeng was convinced, Wang Junlin smiled at the three of them: "Let's go, let's go and see, this gift Li Yuanpeng sent us." ”

The three of them followed Wang Junlin to the outside of the camp, and the 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 set the military rules very strictly, and the generals and soldiers below did not dare to contact these Goguryeo people privately.

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

The envoy of the Baishan County City Guard hurriedly ordered ten carefully selected beautiful girls to get out of the car and line up, and let people carry down three boxes of jewels and jade, he quickly walked to Wang Junlin and knelt down and said: "The villain is the servant of the Baishan County City Guard, see the lord!" “

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

"My general's special gift to the adults is to want to take a truce with the adults."

The messenger pointed to ten beautiful girls and said: "These ten beauties are the most outstanding girls selected in the city, all of them are perfect and given to the adults to serve, and there are three boxes of jewels and gold and jade are also treasures collected in the city, which are specially dedicated to the adults to use as military resources, and only the adults are invited to leave the county seat of Baishan and go elsewhere." ”

Wang Junlin walked up to the ten beautiful girls and glanced at them, the ten girls saluted together, he walked to the boxes again, and his soldiers stepped forward to open the three boxes, all of which were gold, silver and jewelry, shining with gold and dazzling.

Wang Junlin turned around and asked the envoy with a smile: "Then Li Yuanpeng wants to surrender to me?" ”

The envoy was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "My general is from a wealthy family in Goguryeo, and it is really difficult to surrender to people from other countries, but my general is willing to meet the requirements of the adults through other means." ”

"Other ways to satisfy?"

Wang Junlin sneered, raised his hand and pointed to the ten beautiful girls and the three treasure chests, and said: "These are the women and belongings in this Baishan County, if I capture the Baishan County, I am not at my disposal, how can I need Li Yuanpeng to send it." If you want me to withdraw from the army, as long as Li Yuanpeng sends 1 million taels of silver and 1 million stone of grain as the military funds for my army, I will lead people to retreat, not to attack his Baishan County, but to go to Annan County by the way, this is my condition. ”

The envoy wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It will take time to gather a million taels of silver and a million stones of grain, can you delay us for a month, and it will definitely be delivered in a month." ”

Wang Junlin thought to himself that this person was probably not Li Yuanpeng's servant, most of them were staff members and other figures, at this time, he was able to take the opportunity to delay time, but he was a talent, and now he occupied the Goguryeo city, someone needs to govern the place and manage the people of Goguryeo, this person is best to be a Goguryeo, and some Goguryeo scholars who have the ability, but are not good at mixing are Wang Junlin's first choice.

Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Junlin knew that it was not appropriate to say it directly at this time, so he said: "A month is too long, seven days at most, if it is not sent after seven days, I will take someone to set foot in Baishan County." ”

"Yes! Be! The villain understood, and the villain went back to tell the general what the adult meant. ”

After the messenger knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Junlin, he hurriedly got on his horse and went back with two entourage, Wang Junlin saw them go away, so he pointed to ten girls and said to Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Tiangang: "These ten girls Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong are three each, and Zhang Tiangang is four, you can stay as concubines, or you can reward your subordinates who have made great contributions, but not at the moment, you tell this meaning to the people below, and wait until you take this Baishan County." ”

Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong and Zhang Tiangang were immediately overjoyed, and bowed down with their fists in their fists: "Thank you for the reward." ”

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

As soon as Wang Junlin returned to his tent, Jin Sanhu, the last official in the Goguryeo battle on Bailing Island, walked in, knelt down on one knee and said directly to Wang Junlin: "See your lordship." ”

Wang Junlin gave Jin Sanhu an idle position in the army and followed him all the time.

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

Jin Sanhu is a smart person, and immediately understood what Wang Junlin meant, and hurriedly said: "My lord, there are a lot of people in our Jin clan, although this Jin Xiaowu knew before his humble position, and he is indeed one of our clansmen, but he has never seen it before and does not know each other. If the adults want to exercise the strategy of discord, in fact, a general named Cui Hongguang captured by the adults in Nanyang Village is a more suitable person. ”

"Oh! What is the relationship between this Cui Hongguang and that Jin Xiaowu? Wang Junlin asked with a look of surprise.

"Lord Hui, this Cui Hongguang is Jin Xiaowu's nephew." Jin Sanhu hurriedly said.

……

……

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

Walking into the Li Mansion, he heard the woman's miserable cry from afar, Jin Xiaowu shook his head secretly, he knew that this was Li Yuanpeng's irritability again, beating a woman to vent his inner anger, Li Yuanpeng was a boss, although he was always a good person, he was reluctant to listen to advice, and he was generous to take action to win people, but he was short-tempered, and he used women to vent his anger when he was slightly unsatisfactory.

However, it is no wonder that Li Yuanpeng is angry today, the two military villages in the north and south outside the city are easily lost, and he vowed to send a large army out to fight in the field, but the result is a fiasco, with a loss of nearly half, and now the defenders in the city are worthy of 3,000 people left, not to mention, the outside of the city was actually surrounded by the Sui people digging a trench and a mound of earth walls.
