On the day when the main force of Yang Xuangan's rebels arrived in Dongdu, something big happened in the afternoon. Yang Xuangan, who was proud, sent a messenger into the city and sent a handwritten letter to Fan Zigai, who stayed in Dongdu. The content is, of course.

He said nonsense about Emperor Yang of Sui, such as being stupid, cruel, lewd and inhumane, and then asked Fan Zigai to open the city and surrender.

It is conceivable that the old stubborn Fan Zigai saw the result of this letter of persuasion, and not only immediately ordered the envoy to behead the envoy, but also ordered the imperial army soldiers to take the envoy to the top of Shangchunmen and behead the main force of the rebels under the city!

When Chen Yingliang, who was assisting Pei Hongce in the city building to handle official documents, he wanted to persuade Pei Hongce to stop him, but unfortunately, the imperial imperial soldiers who did not belong to Pei Hongce took action too quickly. Before Chen Yingliang could ask Pei Hongce to stop him, the head of the messenger was at the level of the envoy.

Having landed, the bloody head was still hung on the wall by the imperial soldiers to show the public, demonstrating to the rebels outside the city, and issued a warning of irreconcilable force. Chen Yingliang had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Fan Liushou, Fan Liushou, you are really

I'm willing to give up, you missed such a good opportunity in vain."

"What are you saying about this? What good opportunity did Fan Liushou missed?" Pei Hongce next to him asked curiously.

"Uncle, have you ever tried the prisoner?" Chen Yingliang, who was born as the captain of the criminal police, asked back. Seeing Pei Hongce honestly shook his head and denied it, Chen Yingliang then replied: "Since ancient times, when interrogating prisoners, the most effective way to make the prisoner bow his head and confess his guilt is in addition to torture and torture.

In addition, another way is to let the prisoner see the hope of being forgiven and forgiven. In order to survive and to be relieved, the prisoner will bow his head and confess his guilt, and then sell his accomplices to make meritorious service. The stupidest way is to just intimidate and let

The prisoner felt that if he pleaded guilty, he would not be able to survive. In order to survive, he had to resist to the end. In order not to betrayed by his accomplices, he even intended to cover up his accomplices who had not been exposed."

"Fan Liushou used the stupidest method." Chen Yingliang spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "A small messenger kills or not. If he is let go, he will return to the rebel army to spread the news.

, just say that as long as you surrender, you can get pardon and forgiveness, and you can get some effect of shaking the enemy's morale. However, Fan Liushou pushed him up to the city wall and beheaded in public, and hung his head on the city wall to show his public. This does not mean

Tell the rebels that they have no other way to survive except to follow Yang Xuangan to rebel?”

Pei Hongce is also a smart person. After hearing Chen Yingliang's analysis, he immediately stamped his feet and shouted, "Yes, my nephew makes sense. This is a good opportunity. Yang Zhe rebels, and there must be many people in the team who are forced to comply.

If people know that they can survive by surrendering, many people may come over anyway! Fan Liushou is so anxious, why didn’t he think of this?!”

The head has been cut off. No matter how much Chen Yingliang and Pei Hongce regret it, it is useless. As Chen Yingliang expected, the news of Fan Zigai beheading the envoy and showing it to the public reached the rebels' ranks, and the rebel leader Yang Xuangan and his brothers were among the brothers.

Not only was Wang Zhongbo and others not furious, they also applauded and laughed together. Then Yang Xuangan praised the military advisor Li Mi and said, "Xuansui is indeed a clever plan. This old thing Fan Zigai really couldn't help but kill people. Now, we will

Don't worry about the instability in the army."

"I thank Mr. Chu for his praise, but I don't dare to take it." Li Mi said modestly, and then quickly said: "Mr. Chu, it's not appropriate to go to the point of slaughtering Fan Zigai, the news of the envoy being killed in the three armies immediately, and then spread rumors, just say the tyrant.

The court has ordered that all those who have joined our army, no matter who they are, regardless of their status, will be killed, and will strike while the iron is hot to stabilize the morale and boost morale."

p> In addition to not listening to Li Mi strategically, Yang Xuangan obeyed Li Mi in terms of tactical details. He immediately acted according to the plan and asked his younger brother Yang Xuanting and Yang Su to leave Yang Xuangan's confidant Wang Zhongbo to implement the plan. Then Yang Xuangan went to Li Mi again.

He asked, "Xuansui, can the other eagle shoot down with your plan to shoot down with two eagles? Will that old thing Fan Zigai send the main force of the defenders out of the city to fight because of our anger?"

"It's hard to say." Li Mi, who is resourceful, rarely hesitated and said hesitantly: "If Fan Zigai wants to leave the city to fight, today is the best opportunity. He will take advantage of our army's weakness of being tired and not firm in a stable position and seize the opportunity of the fighter.

It was a battle to the death, but it was already afternoon, and the defenders of the East Capital showed no sign of leaving the city to fight, which made it difficult for me to judge. Logically speaking, with the irritable temper of that old man Fan Zigai, it was impossible for him to be willing to defend the city to death.

ah?"

"It doesn't matter if the old guy doesn't leave the city. At worst, he can just attack the city." Yang Xuangan said relaxedly: "I will send the rear army to build siege weapons with all my might, and launch the siege the day after tomorrow!"

"Why is this idiot always thinking about attacking the Dongdu City? Is this city so easy to attack?" Li Mi murmured in her heart, but said, "Mr. Chu, I think we should be prepared for both hands, in addition to preparing for force.

To capture the outside of the Dongdu City, we should try to lure the Dongdu defenders out of the city to fight a decisive battle."

"What's the master of the Dharma?" Yang Xuangan asked quickly.

"Use the Jinyong City, the Acropolis of the Eastern Capital, to make a fuss." Li Mi replied with a smile: "Use the surrendered official army to make a fuss, and that old thing Fan Zigai should almost go out of the city to fight the decisive battle!"

..............

Early the morning of the second day after arriving in Luoyang, the main rebels stationed outside Donghua Gate made the first move and divided tens of thousands of troops to head north, aiming directly at the Dongdu Acropolis, Jinyong City, which is also the seat of Luoyang County.

The chief general Luoyang Lingda Xi Shanyi was missing on the battlefield. Liu Ziyi, the acting county magistrate of Luoyang, sent to the Luoyang agent, did not dare to fight, and closed the city to hold on. At the same time, he sent a messenger to ask Fan Zigai for help.

.

Liu Ziyi's messenger asked for help

531c

F4 letter was sent to Luoyang City. Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi and other important officials in the Eastern Capital were in a dilemma. They wanted to send troops to rescue Jinyong City, but they suspected that this was Yang Xuangan's plan to siege the city and attack the aid, and wanted to lure the Eastern Capital defenders out of the city to ambush the city outside the city.

, if you don't save it, you are afraid that Jinyong City will fall, the enemy will become stronger and Luoyang City will become more isolated. Indecisive, Fan Zigai simply took the opportunity to patrol the enemy situation and came straight to the main battlefield at the Chunmen Gate to consult the past two days

Pei Hongce, who often expresses outstanding opinions, understands Pei Hongce’s views on this matter.

Pei Hongce had already ordered food and accommodation in Shangchun Gate. Of course, Fan Zigai met Pei Hongce very smoothly. However, when Fan Zigai told Pei Hongce about the request for help in Jinyong City, Pei Hongce did not immediately express his opinion and secretly

Go to see Chen Yingliang, the eldest nephew and new secretary next to him. Chen Yingliang nodded slightly to Pei Hongce and then whispered outside the door. Pei Hongce breathed a sigh of relief and said to Fan Zigai: "Fan Liushou, please wait, there is another important thing for the subordinates.

For military affairs, I will go and handle it for a while before coming back. I will also consider the military situation in Jinyong City, and then immediately reply to Fan Liushou."

Fan Zigai did not doubt that he was, and allowed Pei Hongce to temporarily leave the city tower to handle military affairs. After Pei Hongce led his nephew out of the city tower, he really returned to the city tower within a moment, bowed to Fan Zigai and said, "Fan Liushou."

, The officials of the lower officials were foolish, and there was no need to save Jinyong City at all. Jinyong City was just a small acropolis. It would be useless to get it, and it would be harmed if it was lost. Just order the Censor Liu to hold on. There is no need to risk sending troops to rescue him. Take the risk to rescue him.

If the army set up an ambush, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"What if Jinyong City cannot be defended?" Fan Zigai was still a little worried and said, "There are more than 3,000 defenders in Jinyong City. You can't watch them wipe out, right?"

"If Jinyong City cannot be defended, so what if Yang Ni takes it?" Pei Hongce said in a shocking voice and said with a smile: "If Yang Ni takes Jinyong City, his confidence will definitely increase greatly and he will be more determined to seize the Eastern Capital.

If Jinyong City falls, it may not be a bad thing for our army's plan to restrain ourselves."

Seeing that the old stubborn Fan Zigai did not lose his temper and showed a contemplative look, Pei Hongce quickly added, saying: "If Fan Liushou cherishes the soldiers guarding Jinyong City, he can also give them an order to allow them to break through and return in critical situations.

It’s the Dongdu. Anyway, even the Luokou Warehouse, which had stored nearly ten million stones of military rations, has been lost. Why should you care about the gains and losses of a small acropolis? Since ancient times, those who are good at using military forces have never been bound by the gains and losses of a city and a place.

”

After thinking about it for a long time, the old stubborn Fan Zigai nodded and said, "It makes sense that Liu Ziyi can hold the city to stand firm, but the order to allow him to break through cannot be put out. The thief army is powerful, the officers and soldiers are depressed, so they put out this.

With the order, Jinyong City may not be able to be able to keep it for three days."

"Sir, this is the reason." Pei Hongce nodded quickly, and then said: "Mr. Fan, I have a little foolish opinion about the battle of Luoyang defense. I wonder if I want to listen?"

"It's okay for Duke Li to speak frankly, I listen carefully." Fan Zigai intentionally or unintentionally changed his name to Pei Hongce.

"Then the official will be bold and blunt." Pei Hongce was not polite and immediately said: "The official believes that our army should try to anger Yang Xuangan's rebels and prompt him to immediately attack the city, and the sooner the better!"

"Why?" Fan Zigai Daqi asked.

"It's very simple. The traitors are now siegeing the city and have no chance of winning." Pei Hongce analyzed: "Yang Ni marched 600 miles in eleven days, which is enough to prove that his army did not carry heavy siege weapons, and although he was on the battlefield afterwards, he was on the battlefield.

Some supplies were seized, but there was no supplies that could be used to attack the city. Temporary siege weapons such as cloud vehicles, ladders, hook trucks, winch crossbows (bed crossbows) and catapults.

, it is not possible to successfully build it in ten days or half a month. At most, it is to build some light weapons such as stairs and trench cars. In front of the four-eight-foot-high wall of the Eastern Capital, such a siege weapon will never achieve any effect.

Therefore, as long as our army can anger Yang Xuangan and urge him to attack the city as soon as possible, it will be easy to win in the city, which can boost morale and boost morale, and then drag Yang Ni into the quagmire of attack."

"It's right! We need a victory now to boost morale and boost morale! We can also achieve the effect of indirect reinforcement of Jinyong City!" Fan Zigai waved excitedly, extremely satisfied with Pei Hongce's suggestion, and then Fan Zigai quickly

He asked: "How can we anger Yang Ni and urge him to attack the city and seek death as soon as possible? Does Duke Li have great opinions on this?"

"It's very simple, just one word, scolding." Pei Hongce replied with a smile.

"Swear?" Fan Zigai was stunned.

"Yes, scold!" Pei Hongce nodded and said with a smile: "Yang Xuangan came from a famous family. He relied on his father to have a smooth career. He had never encountered setbacks in his life. He must have developed a proud and arrogant character. The most arrogant person is the most

He couldn't stand the humiliation, so he only needed to write a letter to Yang Ni. The extremely humiliating words in the book would curse Yang Xuangan's traitors so bloody that it was unbearable. Then Yang Ni would definitely ignore the consequences and immediately attack the city!

”

"A clever plan!" Fan Zigai laughed loudly and said, "I didn't expect Duke Li had never been to the battlefield and could come up with such a brilliant plan! Yes, I have dealt with Yang Ni, and this thief is indeed a proud and arrogant person.

People, a clever plan! I will write a book now, and scold Yang Ni for being so bloody! It will inspire him to attack Luoyang Jiancheng immediately!"

"Sir, I'm sorry." Pei Hongce was modest, and then looked at Chen Yingliang standing next to him, and said to himself: "I didn't expect that my 17-year-old nephew would have so much bad water in my stomach."

"Yang Zhiji, sorry, I copied your trick a while ago, but I guarantee the country of your Yang family. You are also a royal relative, so I don't mind?" Chen Yingliang murmured in his heart without hesitation.

I continued to murmur in my heart: "Is it wrong to ask Fan Zigai, the old stubborn man to write a letter to scold Yang Xuangan? This old stubborn man who is stupid in reading shouldn't have a lot of people scolding Yang Xuangan? This is a waste of money.

None of them!"

Seeing that Fan Zigai was eager to lift his pen and write, Chen Yingliang was still a little worried and inherited the ancient calligraphy memory of the dead ghost Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang was about to ask for a pen to be written, but a soldier flew outside the gate of the city tower reported: "Report to Fan Liushou, report to him.

Lord Pei, a large number of enemy troops came from the east, and the target seemed to be to go to Chunmen!"

Before the messenger finished speaking, Fan Zigai and Pei Hongce turned their heads, and Chen Yingliang rushed out of the city tower like a rabbit and rushed to the city wall to check the enemy situation. The soldiers of Shangchun Gate controlled by Pei Hongce already knew that Chen Yingliang was

Pei Hongce's confidant naturally did not stop him. Only Fan Zigai frowned and said to Pei Hongce: "Mr. Pei, your nephew is too calm enough, right? Do you dare to be so presumptuous in front of you and me?"

"Leave the way behind and atone for his sins, and the officials will teach him a lesson." Pei Hongce apologized respectfully, and then snorted coldly in his heart, "Old guy, a nephew who is more calm than my genius nephew, please find one for me!"

"There is no need to scold you. Being so anxious about state affairs is also your blessing. I believe that I can share a lot of work for you in the future." Fan Zigai added with a smile, and then ordered: "Go out and see what's going on, if

Yang Ni came to attack the city, so he saved me from writing letters and cursing as a villain.”

What happened outside the city surprised Fan Zigai and Pei Hongce. A very large rebel army came outside the city. The depressed Dongdu defenders were frightened and rushed around and shouted, which also made Fan Zigai's big furious.

Tempered, he slapped a panicked general of the Sui army on the face. However, when the rebels approached the city wall, Fan Zigai and Pei Hongce were shocked to find that the vanguard of the rebels actually hit the right side of the Sui army.

The flag of the Wuwei and the captains of the regiments who were riding horses were actually dressed as generals of Sui army!

"What is Yang Ni planning to do?"

When Fan Zigai and Pei Hongce were confused, Chen Yingliang suddenly ran over and bowed to Pei Hongce and asked: "Uncle, please confirm whether the traitor's vanguard team was the one who brought to Bai Simaban team?"

After receiving the reminder from his eldest nephew, Pei Hongce woke up and observed it for a while, he immediately roared, "That's right, there are many soldiers of the Right Martial Guard who rebelled at the beginning, and the Yingyang Lang General Yuan Jinwei who was walking in the front.
