Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 766 That's the only way
It can be said that now Zhang Yan can only choose Zhu Wei to join him, and it happened that Zhu Wei took the initiative to express his intention to recruit him, and the two sides also agreed to hit it off.

As for the conditions proposed by Zhang Yan, it can only be said that it is his test for Zhu Wei, to see if Zhu Wei really likes him, if Zhu Wei just wants him to send troops and people to die, but does not give him any benefits , it means that Zhu Wei is just using him as a cannon fodder pawn, not really recruiting him.

But now it seems that Zhu Wei basically agreed to Zhang Yan's conditions, which naturally also expressed Zhu Wei's sincerity.

Then if Zhang Yan really wants to develop with Zhu Wei, it is impossible not to pay the nomination certificate, so in Jiang Wan's view, now is the time for Zhang Yanna to submit the nomination certificate.

So Jiang Wan went on to say, "Now my lord is in Luoyang, and the two armies of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are divided, but I am not at a disadvantage. Everyone in the world pays attention to my lord, and my army's attack on Bingzhou is going smoothly, although it is temporarily blocked by Jin. Yangcheng, however, is our army's attack and high-level defense, so it doesn't matter to the overall situation. Therefore, if Zhang Yan already has a congenial heart, this is the best time! Of course, we can also promise Zhang Yan on behalf of the lord, and wait After capturing Jinyang, let Zhang Yanke temporarily take over Jinyang City, then Zhang Yan may be more willing to use the army!"

Wei Yan, Zhang Liao, Ma Chao and the others were surprised when they heard Jiang Wan's words. Jiang Wan was going to make a promise to Zhang Yan on behalf of Zhu Wei, which was a little overreaching.

"Gongyan, how can you say this promise to Zhang Yan so easily, if the lord blames me in the future, we will all be guilty!"

Unavoidably, Wei Yan hesitated to dissuade Jiang Wan again. At this time, Wei Yan didn't have the guts to use Zhu Wei's name to make random promises to others.

"Don't worry, my lord will definitely agree with this matter. After capturing Jinyang, our army still needs to return to Hanoi to attack Yuan Shao's rear. If our army divides up and garrisons in Jinyang, how can we use troops in Hanoi! Now! If Zhang Yan is willing to send troops to help, then let him garrison Jinyang for the time being, it can soothe his heart, and let our army have no worries!"

Jiang Wan comforted everyone again, but after thinking about it for a while, he said again, "Of course, now we can also send someone to Luoyang to inform the lord about Jinyang, and we may bring troops to Zhang Yan at that time. When you get the official military order from the lord, you will be able to clarify this matter even more."

"Gong Yan, this..."

Wei Yan was still a little worried, although what Jiang Wan said was reasonable, if it wasn't for the Bingzhou senior officials, they would have already joined the Luoyang battle at this time.

Now Luoyang is the battle that can really determine the future situation, and it is also the main battlefield where you can make contributions.

Then if they successfully captured Jinyang City, who would stay in Jinyang instead of participating in the battle in Luoyang?

"General Wei, what Jiang Changshi said makes sense. The general is outside and the emperor's orders are not obeyed. Now the lord is fighting Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in Luoyang. As ministers, we should resolve the war in Jinyang as soon as possible and go to Luoyang to support Lord! So contacting Zhang Yan and asking him to attack Jinyang is the best strategy!"

Zhang Liao thought about it after hearing Jiang Wan's words, but he was also moved by Jiang Wan's words. The most important thing was that the light cavalry under him were useless in attacking the city. If they could, he would I want to go to Hanoi now and look for opportunities to do something behind Yuan Shao's army.

Therefore, Zhang Liao also hoped to solve the war on Jinyang's side as quickly as possible. It would be best if Zhang Yan could bring troops over, so that he could find an excuse to rush to Hanoi first.

"That's it..., whatever! It's not selfish, so be it! But how can I contact Zhang Yan?"

Wei Yan was originally an adventurous person, although now he felt that it was inappropriate to make a private promise, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could not care about it for the time being.

Speaking of it, Wei Yan and Jiang Wan are both young. If they were older, I am afraid they would not really think about it this way. After all, anytime they do something beyond their authority, they will definitely leave a mark in their master's heart. traces of.

Of course, what decision Zhu Wei made after knowing their plan is another story.

"My lord has already sent someone to the army before, so I can lead the way to see Zhang Yan. Wenchang, General Zhang, since Wan mentioned this matter, then Wan will go to Montenegro in person to persuade Zhang Yan to send troops."

Jiang Wan saluted Wei Yan and Zhang Liao and expressed his determination. Of course, the Black Mountain where Zhang Yan was located was a mountain system at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains. Although it belonged to Yizhou, it was actually located in Changshan next to Taiyuan County. within the country.

With the careful guidance of the school office that Zhu Wei sent to Jingnan Camp to contact Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, Jiang Wan could also find his way directly from Taihang Mountain in Taiyuan County to Zhang Yan's old nest in Black Mountain.

"Okay, the matter of contacting Zhang Yan will be entrusted to Gong Yan! As for Jinyang, someone will attack one or two first. If we can take Jinyang before Zhang Yan comes, we can also let Zhang Yan know about our army. It’s amazing, and it will make Zhang Yan look better in the future!”

Wei Yan was not too pretentious about Jiang Wan's request, so the matter was basically settled like this, but Wei Yan was also a little unwilling, and still wanted to use his Jingnan camp to attack Jinyang City.

After all, whether Zhang Yan is willing to come or not is still unknown, but Jinyang must be fought, and Wei Yan naturally has to make a plan to attack Jinyang City alone.

In this way, the war strategy on the Jinyang side was basically determined. Next, under the protection of a garrison of soldiers, Jiang Wan went to Montenegro to look for Zhang Yan. Leaving aside, Wei Yan also stationed his army outside Jinyang City. , Let the craftsmen and assistants brought in build some siege equipment first.

About four days after Zhu Weijun besieged Jinyang City, Wei Yan and Zhang Liao formally launched a tentative attack on Jinyang City with their army.

Following Zhu Weijun's side, Ma Chao went to the city of Jinyang to show off his provocation and invite him to fight. After being rejected by the senior officials and Gao Rou in the city, Zhu Weijun boosted his morale, and cooperated with the light cavalry archers of the Huyi Battalion. The soldiers of the Southern Battalion launched the attack on Jinyang City as the main force.

Another set of siege equipment was advanced first, and then a series of siege methods such as filling the moat and suppressing the defenders on the city wall were used.

Wei Yan's Jingnan Battalion spent a day filling up several passages on the moat outside Jinyang City that could be used to attack the city, and then mobilized soldiers and horses to launch a real siege battle.

It's just that the city wall of Jinyang City is five or six stories high, and the siege ladders also need to be spliced ​​together to be built on the city wall. However, the siege soldiers can only climb the city wall against the defense of the defenders on the city wall. It is not easy to climb up the city wall.

At the same time, although the city wall of Jinyang City is built with rammed earth, a lot of rocks and the like have been added as foundations at the foot of the city wall, so I want to use the city digging tactic. Although the hole can be dug out, it has to be dug through the city wall It is really a big project, and it cannot be realized in a short period of time.

So Wei Yan still couldn't get any results for a while...
