”I will definitely let you out, but we will still have to wait for two more days for Wang Ran to let you out.”
An interesting situation had formed on the walls of the West Gate. The soldiers of the Youzhou occupied the West Gate, and the city wall about 300 steps away from them was guarded by the officials of the An Ping County. The two sides stayed in a stalemate, and no one attacked.
”All soldiers of the An Ping County, listen up. Our military officer has something to say to your Lord Taishang.
When the An Ping officials heard it, they immediately ran to report to Wang Ran. Wang Ran was also flustered and anxious. Although the Youzhou Army should not have attacked the city, he was still the guardian of a region for the Emperor. Hearing the other side's words, he personally ran to the front line.
”If you have something to say, say it.”
”We, the generals, order you to surrender. Otherwise, we will occupy the entire Xindu City.”
”Surrender?”
Wang Ran hesitated. If he surrendered, would Yan Liang let him go? Besides, even the Emperor would not let him go, if he did not surrender, his soldiers would not be a match for the Youzhou Army.
”Anping army, listen carefully. I'll give you two hours. If you don't surrender soon, we'll start to take over.”
Yan Liang, Liu Qing and the others arrived at the top of the walls of the West Gate and explained the entire situation to Yan Liang. Yan Liang could not help but frown, looks like I made a big deal out of this, this is not an enemy city, if I say I can take it, then maybe, a great disaster will befall me.
”We should first ask Big Brother Xi.”
Before they set out, Yang Lin had sent Eagles s and falcons to follow him. If they were in an emergency, they should ask first before deciding. The first part had already been done. It would be better to listen to the advisors on how to deal with the aftermath rather than to make things more chaotic.
”Right, we'll talk to Big Brother Xi first.”
Wen Chou nodded, and said happily. Since Yan Liang had already saved him, the matter was no longer as urgent. Consulting with Big Brother first and then taking action, might be the best choice.
”Listen up, the hour has already passed. If you don't surrender now, we will attack.”
Two hours later, Li Shuang was ordered to shout once again. It was only now that he truly felt like he was stuck on a tiger and couldn't back down. If Wang Ran really didn't surrender, then things really wouldn't end this way. He could not help but curse in his heart: This army is really not f * cking easy. It doesn't feel good doing anything, not even looking at the front and back.
Wang Ran was also an ant on a hot pan, it was hard to get down from a tiger's back. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't come up with a good idea. Yan Liang even dared to kill his son, so he must also dare to kill him. Hearing Li Shuang's shout, he was so anxious that he started to sweat.
”Lord, we should send someone to talk to them. Perhaps, it might be able to solve the misunderstanding.”
The long history of the taiwai Palace was also Wang Ran's trusted subordinate. Seeing that Wang Ran had no other ideas, he became worried for him. Normally, taiwai would go and fight, but he, the long history, had spent a lot of money to buy it. He was not that good of a person, so he could only advise Wang Ran on the side.
”That's right, that's right. Then go ahead and put in a good effort. I won't be at ease even if others do go.”
long history wanted to slap him a few times. What a bad idea, he had been sent inside. Helpless, he could only muster up the courage and walk towards Youzhou Army, but in his heart he was praying nonstop, Brother Yan Liang, I have never offended you before, please do not take it out on me.
”Youzhou Army, listen up. The lord of our long history is here.”
”Send him over.”
Hearing that the long history was here, Li Shuang could not help but be happy, it seemed that this matter could be resolved quickly. This was truly a hackneyed beating of a wolf. Both sides were afraid. The long history raised his hands high up, indicating that he did not bring any weapons with him. He walked all the way to Li Shuang and put his hands down.
”Scoundrel, there's an urgent letter.”
Yang Lin brought cavalry of Youzhou into the borders of the Guangzong and, according to Huangfu Song's orders, set up a camp about fifteen kilometers away from the city. On this day, just as dusk, Qin Yi rushed into Yang Lin's Big Account, holding an urgent letter.
”Show me.”
Yang Lin opened the letter and scanned it with his eyes. This Yan Liang, Wen Chou, they really know how to cause trouble, isn't that what happens to them? If the Minister of the Court knew about this, wouldn't they be conspiring against him? He thought for a moment, then immediately shouted to the guards at the door.
”Inform all advisors and generals to come to my Big Account for a meeting.”
Not long after, generals and strategists arrived one after another to read the letter. Everyone seemed a little nervous and no one said a word. When everyone saw that the letter was back in Yang Lin's hands, he looked at everyone and said this.
”Military Advisors, fellow brothers, the situation is urgent, do you guys have any ideas?”
He probably felt that this matter was too important, so he didn't say anything for a moment. This was not an ordinary case against the xanthopanax, but against the imperial government. Which strategist would dare to speak carelessly? Of course, there were those who were not afraid of trouble, the Zhang Banxian did not put the imperial government in her eyes. After considering for a while, he stood up.
”Master, I think that the key to this matter is taiwai Wang Ran. If we can force him to surrender, it would be equivalent to holding him in our hands, and at the same time, protecting him. Let's have him report to the imperial government that Yellowhorse set fire to the city. Yan Liang helped Wang Ran catch Yellowhorse and the young master of Lord Taishang was also killed by him.
