New City.

By the Xiaoliao River, on the Huaishu Mountain.

The circumference of the Huwei New City is twelve miles long and winds across the mountainside.

Luo Cheng stopped at the foot of Mashan Mountain, and the horse whip pointed to the mountain city from afar, "What is this water and what is this mountain?"

"This water is small in Liao River, this mountain is Huaishu Mountain." Wei Zheng replied.

The Xiao Liao River is the Hunhe River in later generations, and Huaishu Mountain is the Gaoer Mountain in Fushun in later generations. Gaoer Mountain is actually Manchu, and its original meaning is a mountain full of locust trees.

The new city is located in the Gaoershan Park in Fushun in later generations.

"It's indeed a heroic city."

Luo Cheng sighed.

"But there are only seven thousand defenders in this city now. The defender Yang Wanchun is still a defeated general under the general, and his arm was cut off by a knife."

The generals and colludes of the Left Five Army surrounded Luo Cheng and were eager to try this majestic city.

"I heard that this new city is the top fortress on the defense line of Qianlishan City in Liaodong. It is the first strong city except for Liaodong City. In terms of breadth and danger, it is still above the cities of Fuyu, Anshi, and Beisha. In the past, the new city governed dozens of cities around it, commanded 50,000 troops, and stored countless money and grain in the city. If we capture the new city, we can make a big profit."

The fourth person is talking to him.

Luo Cheng looked at the new city as if he was watching the scenery. "The 12-mile city, seven thousand defenders are indeed a little short. However, you have seen Yang Wanchun's ability, and it is still very cruel. The key point is that this new city has more grain and more machinery, and there are many people in the city. If we really want to fight, they will fight stubbornly. Even if they have to hold on for a year and a half, it will be fine, but we don't have time to waste here."

"How can I know if I don't try it!"

Lao San Siye came over and said, "Since you've come, there's no such reason to pass by. I think even if you don't buy a new city, you can grab a rabbit and scan the surrounding area by the way."

“Okay.”

"I'll go." The fourth brother immediately took the initiative to ask for orders.

Luo Cheng nodded, "You can go, but you have agreed in advance that you can clear the world, but you must not rape and loot, and you must not kill people at will."

"I know, I know, it's just that I'll pay it back to the public. Don't worry, everything I snatched will be returned to the public."

So Luo Cheng asked the front wing to lead the headquarters to continue moving forward, and he led the middle wing to stay at the city of Xincheng. He set up camp twenty miles away on the left and right sides, and the rear wings would take the headquarters to sweep the surroundings.

Luo Cheng put on a stance to attack the new city in large numbers.

The defenders of Xincheng were so scared that they were almost out of their urine. Yang Wanchun personally climbed up to the top of the city and looked at the number and momentum of the Sui army, and couldn't help but look ugly.

"General, what should I do?"

"We have to be prepared for the worst." Yang Wanchun had a blue face. "The damn Yuan Gai Suwen refused to send troops to help. We are afraid that we can't defend the new city. How long has Luo Chengcai been away from seeing him? He has become strong again. I heard that there are more than 60,000 Sui troops who have crossed the Liao River. Now, there are already 100,000 Sui troops outside."

Yang Wanchun was worried and sent someone to quietly transport all the gold, silver and treasures in Xincheng City out of the treasury.

In order to hide his eyes, Yang Wanchun did not use a box to pack it, but directly cut the old locust trees in half, then hollowed out the middle to make a golden sheath, hiding gold, silver and jewelry inside.

Wooden sheaths filled with gold, silver and treasures were transported to various parts of the city under the name of strengthening defense, and quietly dug holes and buried them in the secret ground at night.

He also ordered the outside of the grain in each warehouse to pile dry firewood, and prepared a cylinder of oil next to it. If the Sui army really breaks through the city, he would order the burning of food, grass and weapons, and a fire burning of the city, and not leave it to the Sui army at all.

He also asked someone to prepare poison. If the city breaks, he would rather take poison than be captured.

After making all this preparation, Yang Wanchun also ordered the recruitment of young and strong warriors from the city and gave them a large reward.

But everything was ready, but Luo Cheng still just put on the shelf, but he just didn't attack.

After waiting around, after waiting for three days, Luo Chengcai sent someone to shoot an arrow letter.

"Brother Wanchun."

Yang Wanchun opened the letter and saw that he was very angry at the beginning. Luo Cheng, who was only nineteen years old, actually called him in his thirties as his brother.

He threw the letter down, but he picked it up again after a while.

Keep your anger down and read the letter.

Yang Wanchun fell into deep thought.

"City Lord, what did the Sui thief say?"

"The Sui thief asked me for ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, five thousand war horses, ten thousand cattle and sheep, ten thousand grains, and thousands of young women. We also asked us to give him one thousand young children, saying that as long as he fulfilled his wishes, he would be willing to rescue the troops."

"So much? Why don't they grab it?"

Yang Wanchun gave the owner a blank look, "Luo Cheng is here to grab this."

“Too many.”

Someone said, "The key is that even if we give it to it, they may not necessarily withdraw."

"yes."

As a result, Yang Wanchun was beyond everyone's expectations and actually wrote back to Luo Cheng himself, bargaining in the letter, and also wrote down the suspicions of the generals.

"What is the city lord doing?"

"Of course it's a plea to negotiate peace."

"Peacemaking?"

Yang Wanchun wrote the letter and sent someone out of the city to deliver the letter, which was solemn.

Outside the city.

Luo Cheng saw Yang Wanchun's envoy, read the letter in front of him, and then smiled directly, "Yang Wanchun is really bullying me young? He actually wants to play a procrastination with me and tells Yang Wanchun that it is okay to bargain, but there is a time limit and he must pay a deposit. If he can pay 1,000 taels of gold and 2,000 taels of silver tomorrow, then I can talk to him for one day first. Every day he has not completed his negotiation, he will have to pay so much deposit, otherwise I will attack the city."

The man wanted to refute, but Luo Cheng smiled directly, and immediately several white horses came over with great momentum and dragged him out.

"If you talk more often, you will be cut off directly. Tell Yang Wanchun that if there is no gold and silver, it is okay to use food and livestock to pay. A woman will pay one tael of gold and one tael of silver for a horse."

The messenger returned to the new city in a panic and was pulled up to the city by the defenders holding ropes and hanging baskets.

"So Luo Chengzhen said?"

"really."

Yang Wanchun shook his head, "It seems that Luo Cheng has seen through this delay plan."

After thinking about it, Yang Wanchun spoke, "Get a thousand taels of gold and send it to Luo Cheng, I ask for a peace quit first, and I ask for a three-day quit for this thousand tael of gold."

The messenger left with gold.

The generals and schools were stunned and didn't understand why Yang Wanchun really wanted to give money.

"If the city is broken, the gold, silver, treasures, countless weapons, and the population of tens of thousands will no longer exist."

"But giving money like this is not a big deal, it will only make Luo Cheng's appetite grow bigger and bigger."

"But at least it can delay time for a while. What we lack the most now is time." Yang Wanchun ignored everyone's objection and asked someone to send gold to Luo Cheng on his own. At the same time, he wrote several letters of help, sending people to Liaodong, Fuyu and other cities.
