"You have to kill it, you have to kill it, and you have to caress it!" Zhao Bing reached out and took a dried fish and put it in his mouth and chewed it. He felt helpless and felt a little helpless. He knew the problems about the handling of prisoners of war. Even after signing the Treaty of Geneva hundreds of years later, the issue of abuse of prisoners of war in the 21st century would appear in the news from time to time, not to mention that in ancient times, when human rights awareness was thinner, as a prisoner of war, in the East or the West, the dangers he faced were not much lower. And he had no meaning in his own entanglement. It was nothing more than that those who were favored would die. This was the eternal truth.

"Your Majesty, the governor has been waiting for a long time!" Wang De saw the little emperor becoming alive again, and knew that he had recovered his power and returned to his senses. After making a pity, he came to the front and changed to a cup of hot tea ceremony.

"Oh, the negotiations have the final result, let him come in!" Zhao Bing nodded after hearing this.

"Yes, please make sure Governor Wang enters the account!" Wang De immediately rushed outside the account and whispered loudly.

"Your Majesty, I met with the Yuan envoy Ma Shao again on surrender, and he flatly refused!" After Wang Yinglin entered the tent, he did not greet him and bowed to the upper hand.

"You didn't tell him this, it was an ultimatum. If you refuse, will our army attack the city in large numbers?" Zhao Bing said with a frown.

"I have told you again and again, and there is no room for maneuver. I will either open the city to surrender or burn it with the jade. I will also advise you not to be obsessed with it and to be buried with Yangzhou City, but you will not be obsessed with it. I will stay or release it. I will ask Your Majesty to decide." Wang Yinglin bowed and replied.

"That's it, let him go back to the city!" Zhao Bing said after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, I think that although Ma Shao is an enemy minister, he is indeed talented, so it is a pity to release him." Wang Yinglin was stunned when he heard this. He had talked with Ma Shao many times, and he was jealous of talent. He wanted to persuade him to return to Song, but he was sternly rejected. He also knew that the attack was about to attack the city. With the current situation of the Song army, the city was broken and the sword was eyeless. After returning to the city, he was afraid that his life would be lost. So he wanted His Majesty to detain him in the camp. After the city was broken, he had no way to do so, so he could only obey.

"Let him go!" Zhao Bing knew that Wang Yinglin was willing to accept it, but he did not try to keep it. Seeing that he wanted to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Since he already has the desire to perish with Yangzhou City, it is meaningless to persuade him again. Let him follow the wishes and fulfill his name of loyalty and wiseness!" After saying that, he took a paper and pen and wrote several edicts quickly, and asked Wang De to stamp it with a seal, and the order was issued immediately.

"Oh, what a pity!" Seeing that the little emperor had no intention of keeping him, Wang Yinglin said disappointedly.

"What? I still feel unbearable!" Zhao Bing asked when he heard his sigh.

"Your Majesty, regardless of Ma Shao's talent, he was considered obedient in this negotiation, and his requests to us were basically met. Now that the negotiations have broken down and our army has begun to attack the city, they will inevitably be severely punished. I am really a little reluctant and feel compassion!" Wang Yinglin did not hide his true thoughts and reported truthfully.

"The King of Governors, if you talk about his loyalty, I admire him very much. Unfortunately, he is loyal to the Mongolian Yuan, not our dynasty!" Zhao Bing put down his pen and looked at him. "In the negotiations, Ma Shao's requirements for our dynasty were all satisfied. It was a choice that the army had to make when they were at the city, rather than being inclined to our dynasty. Moreover, this was also to restrain our army and gain time for the southern invasion of Yuxi Timuer's troops; in addition, he took advantage of the opportunity of peace talks to spy on the virtual and real situation of our army and passed on the military intelligence to Yuxi Timuer, which was considered to help me complete the plan. In addition, Tuohuan, the king of the southern part of the Mongolian Yuan, had already controlled the military and political power. How could he mobilize so much wealth to send to our army? He was just a puppet under control!"

"Your Majesty... okay, I'll tell him!" Wang Yinglin wanted to make another effort, but he sighed and said with regret. But he was still a little unbearable. During the negotiations, Ma Shao ran around inside and outside the city and sent them more than 20,000 war horses, totaling three or four million gold and four million coins. He also agreed to ced the three states of Taizhou, Zhenzhou and Yangzhou, and the annual tribute of war horses, fur and other items. Although this was not something he could do, he also needed to persuade him. No matter what he said, he had a good attitude. Even as the emperor said, he thought that this was "each of his master" and did not damage his name, but he abandoned him now, making him feel that he wanted to kill a donkey.

"Beat the drum, gather the generals!" As soon as Wang Yinglin came out of the tent, Zhao Bing stood up and shouted loudly, and then the 'dong dong, dong dong dong...' sounded. When the other soldiers heard the sound of drums, they also beat the drums and stood up to wait.

After the three-way drum, the commanders and generals of the besieged city rushed to the imperial camp. Zhao Bing had already changed into military uniforms and sat in the tent. The other generals were arranged on both sides. He glanced at it and it seemed that when he first arrived in Yangzhou, it seemed that it was a lot less common. At that time, only the Second Imperial Army and the Imperial Guard Regiment, the Bailout Brigade and the Land Battle Brigade. Even Ni Liang sneaked back to Jiangnan and led the various units of the Imperial Guard to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of Yuxi Timur. The troops had been greatly weakened.

"Now, Yuxi Timur led more than 100,000 troops to cross the river from Tongzhou to Jiangnan. Now the first army and the guards of the front line have been arranged. The First Navy was also ordered to return from the outer sea and enter the Yangtze River estuary to cut off the enemy's retreat. The enemy invaders in the south have fallen into the ambush circle of our army. The envoys sent by Yangzhou refused to open the city to surrender, and they still dreamed of Yuxi Timur leading troops to rescue the siege!" Zhao Bing did not exchange greetings, but briefly informed the generals of the current situation. Everyone was excited after hearing this. In this way, Your Majesty successfully lure the enemy and the enemy forces in the two Huaihe areas were empty, so the time to recover Yangzhou was ripe.

"Your Majesty is wise and has no choice. Since Yangzhou refuses to surrender, please give your majesty the order. My subordinates will capture the city within two days!" Chen Fenglin stepped out and asked for his order.

"I have been in the city of Yangzhou for more than a month, two days are too many!" Zhao Bing waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, I will capture Yangzhou City one day, and welcome Your Majesty into the city to stop the horses tomorrow morning!" Chen Fenglin gritted his teeth and said again.

"Okay, today the entire army will set up camp and set up a village a mile outside the city. Tomorrow, dinner will start at Yin and the attack will begin at Mao. Be sure to break the city in one battle and annihilate the enemy defending Yangzhou!" Zhao Bing ordered.

"Your Majesty's intention is to gather the enemy into the city?" Chen Fenglin frowned and asked upwards, "Your Majesty also knows that the enemy in the city has no less strength than our army. If the enemy sieges on all sides, the enemy will know that there is no way out of retreat, which will lead to delays in the war. It is better to surround three, one of them and force the enemy out of the city. Our army can set up an ambush outside the city to annihilate them in order to quickly go to Yangzhou City."

When the generals heard it, they were also whispering. Everyone knew that Sun Tzu said: If ten times, they would surround him, five times would attack him, and if they would divide him, the enemy would be able to fight him, the less would be able to escape him, and if they would be able to avoid him. At present, the two armies had equal strengths, but their own victory was that they had equipped firearms and had a certain advantage. They could make up for the shortcomings of military strength to a certain extent, but they were not enough to completely fill the gap in military strength between the two sides. His Majesty also knew the truth, but he still wanted to annihilate the enemy in the city, which made everyone very surprised.

"It is precisely because the enemy and our forces are equal, and I don't have any extra troops to set up an ambush. It may not be easy to catch up with the four legs that are running for life on both legs, right?" Zhao Bing said coldly with his chin, "In addition, many senior officials and generals from Jiangbei Province gathered in Yangzhou. Once they cannot be blocked, they will escape and even lead troops to break through the encirclement, which will cause us to advance northward. Therefore, as long as they are annihilated in the city, the two Huai Rivers will be in a state of headlessness in a short period of time and cannot form an organized resistance to our army!"

"Your Majesty, this will be a tough battle. Yangzhou City is afraid of being destroyed by a battle!" Li Lei, the commander of the first division, said with a worried look on his face.

"Yeah." Zhao Bing was stunned and nodded. He immediately realized the subtext in Li Lei's words. The Song army was strict in military discipline and was not allowed to be killed indiscriminately, and tried to hurt innocent people as much as possible during wartime. The meaning of the words was that if we wanted to conquer the city with the same force as the enemy and us, we had to rely on our own firearms, especially artillery, which would inevitably hurt innocent people and destroy the houses in the city under the bombardment. However, due to the need for military discipline and the need to maintain the integrity of the city, they did not dare to use artillery at will and could only rely on soldiers to fight for it. Then major casualties were inevitable. However, if serious losses were suffered in the siege, it would lead to the implementation of the subsequent plan.

"I allow you to make decisions based on the development of the battle situation. You must seize the city and wipe out the enemy defenders in everything. You must be good at carrying forward the strengths of our army, break the past conventions, use new tactics and tactics, and strive to exchange for the greatest victory with the smallest loss!" Zhao Bing pondered for a moment. He knew that he wanted the horse to run quickly, but he tightly tied the reins, and the horse could not do it even if it was exhausted.

"The last generals obey the order, they will seize the city in one battle and wipe out the defending enemies!" After hearing this, the generals looked at each other and were all happy. When His Majesty's golden mouth opened, it was equivalent to removing the ropes that were bound to them and letting go of the battle. Everyone saluted upwards.

"No gift!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked everyone to get up. With another wave, a team of guards carried more than a dozen boxes into the tent and placed them on the table. He stood up and lifted the two boxes, and the inside was filled with gold ingots.

"Your Majesty..." There was a yellow canvas in front of him. Chen Fenglin estimated that if these boxes were filled with gold ingots, even if they were not millions of guan, they would be worth at least hundreds of thousands of guan. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and his eyes were shining with doubts, but he couldn't believe it.

"I will not be stingy with my soldiers when they use their lives. Those who should climb the city first will be rewarded with a reward of 100 taels and 3 levels; our team will be rewarded with a reward of 100 taels and 2 levels; our headquarters will be rewarded with mercy, and all the commanders and commanders will be awarded with titles. Those who have made military achievements will each have a reward of tribute. What I am afraid of is that no one has the ability to get these gold!" Zhao Bing pointed at the golden box and said.
Chapter completed!
