Chapter 64: Negotiations
Therefore, most Yuan people are not interested in joining the army. After all, in their eyes, money is more important than life.
Only a few people could not help the greed in their hearts, coping with the renminbi and the conscription of the Mongol Imperial Court, they considered that the thin camel was bigger than the horse, and the current strength of the court, even to fight the thieves, but to keep the imperial city or no problem!
Since the guards on the gate were not on the battlefield, the safety factor was greatly improved, and in addition to the huge bounty of the court, greed triumphed over reason for a while, and then resolutely signed up for the army!
In half a month, the people who responded to the conscription everywhere in Yuanmeng came to the Great Imperial City, and after rough statistics, there were only 200,000 people, which was too few compared to before!
The only consolation to the pope is that half of the 200,000 people are from the capital. He felt that most people trusted him very much. Even at this critical juncture, they are willing to join the army.
But what he didn't know was that at least nine-tenths of them were servants or bodyguards in the homes of high-ranking officials.
Because these officials know that once the capital is breached, maybe other ordinary people will be fine, but as members of their own family, they will not let it go when the time comes!
With the exception of a few, they all joined the army on the orders of officers.
In any case, their results are not easy, just take advantage of the present, use them to make a lot of money, in case the city is broken, he can also learn from the previous Minister of Peace, and give a lot of gold and silver to buy his life to fight the thief!
In half a month, Chen Youliang had doubled his territory, and this time the king of Ruyang, who was resisting petty bourgeoisie on the front line, felt that he could not go on like this.
Be sure to rush to the rear base camp to set up a defensive line, otherwise after a while, his escape will be broken by this rebel you know Chen, and when the time comes, before and after the attack of both sides, he will become a rat in a hole.
That night, while it was still dark, the king of Ruyang and his army of 200,000 quietly left the city.
The next day, Xiao Zilan's agents came to report, and the city was only full of people, and the king of Ruyang and the old Meng's army fled overnight.
Xiao Ran listened to this, smiled and said to the secret agent: "Go and tell Chen Youliang the news."
After the spy left, Xiao Ran sighed and said, "Chen, you understand, Chen, you understand, you don't have a chance at all! So, are you ready to surrender to me?" or ......?"
Half a day later, Chen Youliang received a message from Xiao Zilan, and his face was gloomy, but he didn't expect King Ruyang to run over with his soldiers.
Half a day later, Chen Youliang received a message from Xiao Zilan, and his face was gloomy, but he didn't expect King Ruyang to run over with his soldiers.
But he deliberately left the road to Dadu for him, that is, he gave up his troubles at home!
Let him feel that at most, he can lead the troops to retreat at any time, so that he can effectively resist Xiao Ziran in the front.
I have plenty of time to grow and strengthen myself.
Unexpectedly, now that King Ruyang has run away, his hopes are shattered again, and now there are only two choices in front of him, either surrender to Xiao Zilan or courtship~ a battle!
If it was Chen Youliang before, he would have taken this risk, but now, with an army of 200,000 in front of Xiao Ziran, it is not enough to even plug his teeth.
Because thinking of Xiao Ziran's arrow team and five hundred siege ballistas, as well as the strong combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Chen Youliang felt desperate!
Chen, you've been thinking about this all day!
The next day, Chen Youliang ordered to continue to the south and surround Mengcheng of the Yuan Dynasty!
Xiao Ziran received the news and said with a cold face: "Chen Youliang, it seems that you are going to risk a stroke, right?"
Then, he said to his generals: "From today onwards, go all out and attack Yuan and Mongolia to the north and expand the territory!"
For a whole month, Xiao Ziran's territory has completely bordered Chen Youliang's territory!
This month, the two sides reached a tacit agreement in each other's direction, continued to expand their territory, and continued to occupy the city of Yuanhe Mong, and finally, the two sides held a meeting.
On this day, petty bourgeoisie led troops; When I came to a city, I was about to order a siege, but I found that there was a familiar person on the tower - Chen Youliang!
Xiao Ziran looked at Chen Youliang and joked: "Chen Youliang, I didn't expect you to move fast enough!
At this time, Xiao Ziran had already occupied nearly half of the land in the north, and in every broken city, Liu Bowen sent the management talents of the Heavenly Eagle Sect to take over the city!
Coupled with Xiao Ziran's implementation of the order not to interfere in the lives of the common people, these ordinary people quickly took full control of the entire city, got the support of the people, and now it is a solid territory!
On the other hand, Chen Youliang now occupies a quarter of the land in the north, but there is a lack of management talent, and it is impossible to manage the city in an orderly manner, let alone get the sincere support of the people!
In these cities, it is better not to divide the troops to defend the city, let alone recruit troops and expand power!
Chen, you understand the power of this period of time, and you haven't grown!Xiao Ziran also knows this situation, so let's make fun of him!
Chen Youliang didn't seem to hear Xiao Ziran's taunt, he was silent for a while, and then ordered: "Open the door!"
In the blink of an eye, the door opened, Xiao Ran saw the situation, and said a little puzzled: "Chen, you understand, what the hell are you doing?" Do you want to leave this city to me and let me let you live?"
Chen Youliang replied, "Master Xiao, I opened the city gate and invited you to come up and chat. I wonder if you have the courage?"
Xiao Ran said disdainfully: "I have enough courage, but why should I listen to you?" Now our enemy! As an enemy, I am not surprised by any scheme!"
Chen Youliang replied with a smile: "Xiao, who said that we are enemies?"
Xiao Ziran was even more puzzled, but suddenly thought of a possibility!
Chen Youliang continued: "With Master Xiao's strength, even if I have any conspiracy, how can you?"
Xiao Zulan thought that it was himself, using his strength today, but he didn't need to be afraid of anything, so he stopped his persuasion, and he got off the horse and arrived at the gate alone!
Standing here, Xiao Ziran did not step forward, but directly put on a light dress, took off a few times on the city wall, and then jumped up and flew towards the three-zhang tower.
Looking at everyone's surprised eyes, Xiao Ziran nodded with satisfaction!
Xiao Ziran's move was not pretentious, but to give Chen Youliang and his subordinates a command, so that they could know how fierce they were, even if they really had any plans in their hearts, they had to think about it.
Chen Youliang was shocked at first when he saw Xiao Ziran's actions, and then returned to God with a helpless smile, with his cunning, he didn't know what Xiao Ziran expressed.
Seeing Xiao Ziran coming over step by step, Lawyer Chen thought that although Xiao Ziran was afraid, he still stepped forward and stopped Xiao Ziran.
When Chen Youliang saw it, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down!" I'm going to talk to Young Master Xiao!"
Seeing that Chen Youliang's attitude was very firm, his defense could only retreat helplessly.
Xiao Ran saw it and said, "Okay, Chen, you understand, I'm already here, what do you want to say?"
Chen Youliang said, "Didn't you guess?"
Xiao Ziran was puzzled: "Do you really want to take refuge in me? Why did you choose to conquer this city?"
Chen Youliang replied with a smile: "At that time, my territory was not large, if I chose to surrender to you, don't show my worth, unlike now, I have a quarter of the north, which is much more valuable than then!"
