In fact, whether it is Li Yuanpeng's opinion or Jin Xiaowu's eyes, he is not afraid that the Sui people will fence Baishan County, because there is a lot of grain and grass hoarding in Baishan County, and there is no problem in holding on for three months.

But when the Sui people really surrounded the city with earthen walls and moats, Li Yuanpeng and Jin Xiaowu suddenly realized that its impact was huge, and it had a huge impact on the entire army's heart, just like their own side was completely surrounded, which made the army's heart quite shaken, and gave the people in the city an illusion that they had no way to retreat.

There have been panic rumors in the army, which makes Jin Xiaowu really worried, he has understood the strategy of the Sui people, first destroy the morale of Li Yuanpeng's army from the heart of the army, in order to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight.

I have to say that Wang Junlin's move really stabbed Li Yuanpeng in the weakest part, and some of the troops under Li Yuanpeng's command were only the private soldiers and guards of the people and the nobles who had temporarily gathered, and their equipment and training were extremely backward, not to mention the low morale.

Wang Junlin's strategy made Jin Xiaowu extremely worried, he had realized that they were not Wang Junlin's opponents, the initiative was already in Wang Junlin's hands, and they would be defeated sooner or later.

Hanging from a tree in the courtyard were three stripped naked maids, who were so enraged that they were personally whipped with a leather whip because they privately discussed the fact that they were surrounded by the Sui army.

The delicate bodies of the three maids were covered with shocking whip marks, almost completely skinless, and they were beaten to death, and the sound of screams was gone.

Li Yuanpeng held an oil-soaked leather whip in his hand, his bare body, his chest and arms were covered with coarse hair, his eyes were red, like a mad beast, and he vented his anger on these three innocent maids.

"General, Jin Bi is coming!"

A personal soldier made a report, Jin Xiaowu hurriedly walked into the courtyard, and he got Li Yuanpeng's permission to enter and leave the palace at will without a report.

Jin Xiaowu looked at the three maids who were hanging from the tree, sighed secretly in his heart, bowed down and saluted: "Participate in the general!" ”

Li Yuanpeng's anger was half vented, he threw away the leather whip, glanced at Jin Xiaowu, and said as he walked towards the house: "Come in and talk about it!" ”

Jin Xiaowu agreed and walked in.

"You're here to defend the city!" Li Yuanpeng asked impatiently, he didn't want to hear about it now.

Jin Xiaowu shook his head, frowned and said, "I'll tell you another thing, from last night to now, rumors have been spreading in the army, saying that our city will be broken." ”

"How so?" Li Yuanpeng stood up suddenly, his eyes widening in shock.

"It's just that you don't want to hear about it, after our defeat in the field battle out of the city, the Sui people built trenches and earthen walls to besiege the city, which had too much impact on the morale of the army." Jin Xiaowu sighed.

Li Yuanpeng sat down dejectedly, he drank all the wine in the bottle, threw the wine bottle aside, grabbed his hands deeply into his hair, gritted his teeth and said: "What to do now, I don't know if Yuangai Suwen will send reinforcements over!" He cried out in pain.

Jin Xiaowu shook his head and said: "The Sui people are guarding the two military villages of Black Snake Ridge and Dashiling, even if Yuangai Suwen sends reinforcements, it is useless, and I estimate that Wang Junlin is looking forward to Yuangai Suwen sending reinforcements under the pretense of encircling the ground!" ”

"No!"

Li Yuanpeng roared like a beast: "No, the Sui army will not be so powerful."

Li Yuanpeng paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, he knew the current situation very well, if there were no reinforcements from Yuangai Suwen, how long would they be able to hold out?

Thinking of this, Li Yuanpeng finally made up his mind and said coldly: "Wang Junlin doesn't want to attack the city immediately, so I'll find a way to let him attack the city." ”

……

The county seat itself is not big, the circumference is less than 20 miles, and the permanent population has more than 4,000 households, nearly 30,000 people, but when the Sui army attacked the Black Snake Ridge military village in the southeast, the people near the city also fled into the city in a hurry, making the population of the county increase sharply, from more than 30,000 people to about 50,000, plus there are thousands of garrisons in the city, making the city crowded and chaotic.

A middle-aged wandering doctor with a medicine box on his back hurriedly walked between the small tents until he reached the end of the alley, where there was a courtyard, he knocked on the door, and it was a young man.

"We came back so late, we thought you had been arrested as a military doctor!" The young man joked quietly.

"Hmm!" The middle-aged traveling doctor vaguely agreed, walked into the courtyard, and closed the door at any time.

"What, do you get the exact information?" The young man asked.

"Let's go into the house and talk about it!"

The middle-aged traveling doctor walked into the room, and at this time the room was full of people, there were thirty or forty people, all of them were strong men, and some of them had a calm breath, and they were clearly masters.

This is an intelligence base set up by Shen Guoer in Baishan County, originally only three or four people, but ten days ago, after Shen Guoer learned of Wang Junlin's battle plan, he sent many people to infiltrate Baishan County in various ways, so that the hidden secret spies in this courtyard reached more than forty-two people, led by a master of the stagnation period, named Zuo Xiaofeng, from the Martial Arts Guild, who was shrewd.

Everyone is gathering for dinner, by the way to discuss the military situation, these days in the city rumors are everywhere, the army is in turmoil, of course, because of the outside of the city Wang King's landing with a series of strategies, but the rumors they spread are also indispensable.

The traveling doctor found a seat and sat down, put down the medicine box, and smiled at Zuo Xiaofeng: "I got accurate information, I will see Li Yuanpeng's housekeeper today, I heard that Li Yuanpeng himself is about to collapse, and he is short-tempered, and his suspicion is getting heavier and heavier."

Zuo Xiaofeng nodded, the other two also got the same information, and the information obtained from the three channels was the same, which means that this information is credible, he immediately took out a thin silk, wrote the information on the special brown paper made by the salt field of Fanyang County with a sharpened charcoal pen, and took out a thin red bamboo tube from his arms, folded the thin silk and stuffed it in, he handed the information to the eagle slave, and ordered: "Send it out of the city immediately!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, a goshawk flapped its wings and flew into the sky and flew out of the city.

……

The night was shrouded, and there was silence in the Sui army camp inside and outside the city, only the figure of the patrol sentry walking in line, and the lights were still bright in one of the big tents, Wang Junlin was discussing the military situation with Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Zhang Tiangang and others.

This afternoon, Wang Junlin received an eagle letter from the city of Baishan County, learned of Li Yuanpeng's state, and Li Yuanpeng's army was disheartened, which shows that they first took the two military villages in the north and south, defeated the other side in the field battle outside the city, and then dug trenches and earthen walls to play a role, and had already stabbed Li Yuanpeng in the weakest point.

"Everyone, for the plan of Baishan County, I still plan to maintain the original plan, surrender the army without a fight, now the other party's military spirit has been shaken, but it is not enough, I still need to continue to disintegrate their army, everyone can speak freely."

Wang Junlin's gaze looked at everyone one by one, and finally his gaze fell on Guan Xiaotong's face, and when he saw that he wanted to speak, he smiled and said, "Guan Xiaotong, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Guan Xiaotong hesitated and said: "I think that I can start with grain and grass, if I can let the secret spies in the city burn the other party's grain and grass, then they will collapse without a fight, but I think it's a pity to burn it, after all, grain and grass are also very important to us, so I don't dare to say anything." ”
