Sun Lei first opened Murong Yanda's letter. As expected, it was a very ordinary letter begging for mercy. The letter said that as long as Sun Lei retreats, he is willing to send ten thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand stones of food and grass.
"How stupid, you want to get rid of me with such a small thing? When I break Qingzhou Mansion, everything will not be mine."
Sun Lei disdainfully threw Murong Yanda's letter into a nearby brazier, and the flames immediately turned the letter into ashes.
Murong Yanda's idea was very simple. He just regarded Sun Lei as a bandit who wanted to borrow food. He took some money and food and wanted to send him away.
"Military advisor, do you know this layman Yi An?"
Sun Lei asked Xiao Jiasui while looking at another letter in his hand.
"Some people have heard that she is a very talented woman. I have also heard a few of her poems, such as "Ru Meng Ling·Last night the rain was sparse and the wind blew suddenly", "Ru Meng Ling·Chang Ji Xiting Sunset", "Fishermen's Proud· "The sky connects with the clouds and waves and connects with the dawn fog."
Xiao Jiasui said that although he was not a pure scholar, he could still be regarded as a famous scholar. He had heard about some famous scholars, and Yi An, who was proudly at the top of the literary world as a woman, was even more famous.
"Haha, I didn't expect she was in Qingzhou Mansion!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Brother, the little layman knows that she lives in the city, but many people visit her."
Qin Ming said, Qingzhou Mansion is not big, and there is no way that he, the former manager of Qingzhou Mansion, would not know about some famous people.
"The man's surname seems to be Li, and he has a husband named Zhao. Murong Yanda is very polite to the couple, and occasionally sends people to greet them."
Huang Xin knows better.
"That's natural. This lay scholar Yi An is not a simple person. Her grandfather is Wang Gui, Cai Jing is her cousin-in-law, and her father-in-law is Zhao Tingzhi!"
Sun Lei said while opening the letter.
Sun Lei's words made everyone take a breath of cold air. These three people are all prime ministers. No wonder Murong Yanda wants to visit.
Sun Lei took out the letter paper. The clear and beautiful words made Sun Lei feel comfortable for a while. Compared with his own chicken claw-like words, he didn't know how much better it was.
"Why does it seem like there's a faint fragrance?"
Sun Lei looked at the letter and moved his nose, as if there was a unique fragrance wafting from it.
Sun Lei was startled. Did he suffer from Mendel Syndrome? Li Qingzhao is now in his thirties, and he is a married woman, and he is also a married man!
Sun Lei quickly dismissed those messy thoughts and read the content of the letter. Li Qingzhao was indeed a talented woman. In the letter, he used reason and emotions, quoted scriptures, and tactfully told Sun Lei not to use his emotions to cause unnecessary massacres.
"Interesting! Interesting! It's not in vain for me to come to Qingzhou again!"
Sun Lei folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope with a smile. Then in everyone's surprised eyes, Sun Lei stuffed the envelope into his arms and hid it close to his body.
"Go back and tell Murong Yanda that if you want me to stop attacking the city, let Mr. Li come out to talk. I don't want to see anyone except Mr. Li!"
Sun Lei looked at the soldier and said.
The soldier drove out of the military formation and ran towards Qingzhou Mansion. The defenders on the city once again put down a bamboo basket and pulled the soldier up.
"Brother, are we really not going to fight anymore?"
Qin Ming had a look of resentment on his face. Qingzhou Mansion was about to be captured. It would be a pity to give up now.
"Of course we have to fight! I only talked about talking, not agreeing."
Sun Lei said with a smile that he just wanted to meet Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman in history. As for face, he would not give it to Emperor Zhao Ji, and he did not necessarily give it to Li Qingzhao.
After having lunch and resting for an hour, Qin Ming once again led his army to attack the city. The trebuchets and crossbows kept shouting, and there was another burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the city wall. The soldiers ran directly to the bottom of the city in fear. There were few soldiers left on the city wall.
"Master Magistrate, the enemy's attack is too fierce. We can't stand on the other side of the city wall!"
A group of officers said to Murong Yanda that the soldiers were not even willing to climb the city wall, so how could they defend the city.
"I'll go see Mr. Li personally!"
Murong Yanda looked at the soldiers hiding behind the city wall and sighed. The soldiers were unwilling to fight, and he didn't even have a chance to escape from the city.
It was getting late, the army outside the city retreated again, and the smoke also rose. Liang Shanbo's meal was extremely punctual.
After nightfall, the shouts of killing began again, and this time the trebuchets and bed crossbows were also bombarded non-stop.
But the defenders learned wisely. There was no way to light a fire on the city wall, so they threw the lit logs down the city wall, and the fire illuminated the bottom of the city.
"These dogs!"
Qin Ming was furious. In this way, he would not be able to replicate what happened last night.
"Hit me, hit me hard!"
Qin Ming roared angrily, "Hua Rong played well in his homework, but why did he change again? Why is it always his side that doesn't go well?"
The attackers this night were fierce and their attacks were as fiery as Qin Ming's temper, but they still did not attack the city wall this night.
The defenders on the city thought that tonight would be the same as last night, but they did not expect to attract such a ferocious attack. They stayed up all night again. Many of the defensive equipment stacked on the city were destroyed, which left the soldiers with nothing but Able to place stones and logs under the city and then slowly move them up the city.
The sky lit up again, and the defenders of Qingzhou Prefecture had a look of decline and no fighting spirit.
"We can break the city tomorrow!"
Sun Lei looked at the appearance of Qingzhou Mansion, shook his head and said, the battle in Qingzhou Mansion fully demonstrated the importance of commanders in war. Soldiers without one under their command are just like a mess.
But if someone is commanding Qingzhou Mansion, it will be completely different. It is very difficult for five thousand people to capture Qingzhou Mansion. If the commander has some ability, he can even block the mad attack of tens of thousands of troops.
"Brother, there is something happening in the city!"
Tang Bin pointed at the white flag that suddenly wavered on the city.
"Well, surrendering so soon?"
Sun Lei looked at the white flag in surprise.
"Probably not. The soldiers didn't even put down their weapons."
Xiao Jiasui shook his head and said, the defenders on the city were still wearing armor and holding weapons.
"Brother, the city gate is open!"
Hua Rong pointed to the wide open city gate.
The city gate opened wide, and a gorgeous carriage slowly drove out from the city gate. There were no soldiers, no flags, and only an old servant driving the carriage.
"Retreat the troops! Get ready to welcome the distinguished guests!"
Sun Lei was overjoyed when he saw the carriage. Murong Yanda would definitely not dare to go to the meeting alone, so the carriage could only be Li Qingzhao.
"Dignified guest?"
Everyone looked at Sun Lei with doubts. Although they were confused, everyone took action quickly. The soldiers returned to the formation, and under the command, they made way for a long corridor. On both sides, people lined up with spears, and there was a chill. The atmosphere filled the air, this was the most solemn welcome ceremony in the military.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and when it reached the front of the military formation, the horse's footsteps suddenly became chaotic. It was just a rogue horse, which had never experienced a military formation at all. The chilling aura made it afraid to step forward.
"lady!"
The old servant driving the carriage looked frightened and whispered into the carriage.
"Continue to go!"
A soft and clear female voice came from the carriage.
