Two fast horses galloped out of Cangzhou City Gate.
One of them went straight to Mengzhou, while the other quickly walked towards Gaotangzhou.
These two men went to Mengzhou and Gaotangzhou respectively to seek help on Hu Yanzhuo's orders.
As the two fast horses galloped out, the Cangzhou city gate slowly closed.
The war was about to begin.
Closing the city gate was a must.
On top of the city wall, Hu Yanzhuo and the others were looking out of the city with their hands behind their backs.
At this time, Hu Yanzhuo smiled, and Zhang Qing and Zhu Jing asked in confusion, "I don't know why brother is so happy."
"Hahahaha, I was thinking that since I went to Liangshan, I have always attacked the city.
This is the first time to defend the city.
I don't know if I will get used to it."
After Hu Yanzhuo finished speaking, he laughed happily.
Zhang Qing and Zhu Jing heard this and thought that this was really the case.
Liangshan had always been on the offensive.
Even when the imperial court sent a large army to attack Liangshan, the people in Liangshan never chose to simply defend.
This time they really defended Cangzhou. first.
A few people stayed at the city wall for a while, and Hu Yanzhuo suddenly said to Du Qian, "Brother Du, defending the city this time is no small matter.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops, so the slightest inconvenience may lead to the city being destroyed.
Therefore, I want my brother to defend the city."
The leader is responsible for public security in the city, and the most important thing is to keep an eye on the Cangzhou Prefect.
Although this man surrendered, he had no choice but to surrender at the time.
Now that the imperial army has arrived, he may have thoughts of rebellion, so he sent people to secretly keep an eye on his every move.
If he doesn't do anything special and everything is safe and sound, if he dares to do anything wrong, my brother will kill him directly to avoid future troubles."
Du Qian was originally an old man from Liangshan.
It can be said that he and Song Wan Zhugui helped Wang Lun build the Liangshan village.
"Brother, don't worry, I will never let anything go wrong in the city.
Then I will personally go and watch him to death."
When Du Qian heard that Hu Yanzhuo asked him to be responsible for the security of the city, he agreed without any hesitation.
Everything that needs to be done has been done, and all that's left is to defend the city.
On the evening of the next day, the official army arrived outside the city as expected.
One hundred thousand troops were camped for several miles, and they were really powerful.
In the army tent, Tao Zhenting asked aloud, "General Yun, now that we have arrived in Cangzhou, what should we do next?
Should we attack the city directly or challenge the city first?"
"It's getting late now, and the soldiers are tired from traveling for days.
Let's rest for one night and then go to the city to challenge tomorrow morning.
If the bandits leave the city, so be it.
If they don't, we will attack the city directly.
I think there are 20,000 bandits in Cangzhou, but I don’t believe that I can’t defeat them with an army of 100,000 people.”
After saying the last sentence, Yun Tianbiao exuded a powerful aura, like a sword breaking through the dust, unstoppable.
"Do you need to persuade Hu Yanzhuo to surrender tomorrow?"
Tao Zhenting still wanted to persuade Hu Yanzhuo to surrender, so he asked aloud.
"Of course, I heard that there are not only Hu Yanzhuo but also Zhang Qing in Cangzhou.
These two people turned out to be generals of the imperial court.
Regardless of whether they succeed or not, they can always be recruited and surrendered."
It was just a casual thing to persuade them to surrender, so why not do it?

Early the next morning, the horns of the army camp sounded.
After the horns, a hundred thousand troops, led by Yun Tianbiao, set up their formation outside Cangzhou City.
At this time, Hu Yanzhuo and others had already arrived at the top of the city and looked outside the city.
Although there were hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, the faces of a few of them were still calm and calm, without any sign of solemnity.
At this time, I saw Yun Tianbiao walking forward on his horse, stopping more than two hundred meters away from the city wall, and said loudly, "General Hu Yan, General Zhang Qing, your majesty knows that the two generals were forced to become thieves.
Now your majesty has a purpose." , as long as the two generals are willing to return to the court, they will forget about the past and be promoted to higher positions.
This time the imperial court ordered this general to come with an army of 100,000, which shows his determination to regain the lost territory and wipe out the bandits.
Therefore, the two generals should think twice.
If they wait for the city to be destroyed, it will be too late."
First he was promised to be exempted from previous crimes, then he was promised promotion and finally he was threatened with a hundred thousand troops.
It can be said that the tactics of persuading surrender were used incisively and vividly.
Hu Yanzhuo and the others on the city wall laughed after hearing this.
They really didn't expect that the officers and soldiers came not to attack the city directly but to surrender.
"Re-submit to the Song Dynasty and return to the imperial court, haha, luckily he can think of it," Hu Yanzhuo said to the brothers next to him after hearing this.
"Yes, before we joined Liangshan, we still had great respect for the imperial court, but since joining Liangshan, we have looked at the current imperial court from a different perspective.
It is really disappointing."
Zhang Qing no longer had a good impression of the imperial court at this time.
So I expressed my position directly.
"Listen, people in the city, don't waste any more words.
If you want to attack the city, just send troops to attack it and persuade you to surrender.
Haha, when we capture you alive, we will ask Brother Lin to persuade you to surrender."
The two said Wanhu Yanzhuo immediately shouted back to Yun Tianbiao below, and also sarcastically mocked him.
"General Huyan, you have been a general for many generations, and your ancestor Zangong was the founding hero of the country.
Don't you feel ashamed for doing this?"
Yun Tianbiao saw that the previous tricks did not work, so he played the card of his ancestors again.
After hearing Yun Tianbiao's words, Hu Yanzhuo's mouth twitched slightly, but soon returned to normal and said loudly, "Could it be that the Song Dynasty was the fault of this world from the very beginning?"
My ancestor, Bao Taizu, started the rebellion and established the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years.
However, your Majesty does not care about hard work in government and enriching the people and strengthening the country.
Instead, he only cares about pleasure, exploitation and oppression.
He also favors treacherous ministers and alienates virtuous ministers.
Cai Jingtong is the best.
If I try to protect Yanzhuo from a government that has controlled the government for a long time, deceived superiors and deceived subordinates, and excluded dissidents, it would be foolish loyalty, and I would be truly sorry for my ancestors."
After Hu Yanzhuo said these words, he let out a sigh of relief.
The issue of being ashamed of his ancestors had always been a big burden on his heart.
Now that he finally figured it out and said it out loud, he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.
After listening to Hu Yanzhuo's words at the foot of the city, Yun Tianbiao sighed slightly in his heart.
How could Yun Tianbiao not be clear about what Hu Yanzhuo said?
How could the Holy One not comment on it now, but it is an indisputable fact that traitors are in power.
"In that case, don't blame me for being rude."
Thinking that this battle was still going to be fought, Yun Tianbiao said a word and turned around and walked back to the formation.
"It seems that the army is about to attack the city, everyone should be prepared."
Hu Yanzhuo knew that Yun Tianbiao would return to the battle and would immediately let the army attack the city, so he issued an order to prepare for battle.
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo" the familiar horn sound sounded again, but this time it was not the attack horn of the Liangshan army, the attacking party became the official army.
"Archers prepare."
Hearing the horn sound, Hu Yanzhuo ordered the archers to load their bows and wait for the officers and soldiers to rush into the shooting range before shooting.

"Siege the city" Following Yun Tianbiao's order, the siege force consisting of 10,000 people swarmed towards the Cangzhou city wall.
The war begins
