Soon, Long Xing's army joined the other three armies, and the four legions returned neatly to the camp. The troops were neat and tidy, and the queues were also neat.
The major commanders all left auxiliary troops outside the city walls on the battlefield. The auxiliary troops carried white flags and went under the city wall to collect corpses and collect arrows, stone bullets and other items that could still be used.
Nie Chen took Ouyang Ming and the commanding generals back to the commander's tent.
When Weng Qiuchan saw them coming back, he stood up to greet them.
As soon as Nie Chen saw Weng Qiuchan, he said in a very exaggerated tone,
"Oh my, isn't this our great hero? I heard that enemy troops attacked the camp today, but our great hero wiped out all the enemies and saved the food and grass."
Weng Qiuchan blushed, hit him hard on the chest, and said coquettishly,
"I have made meritorious deeds again today. You have to reward me according to my merits."
"Okay, okay, you must reward me. If General Weng wants any reward, just ask."
Nie Chen took Weng Qiuchan and sat behind Shuai An, looked at everyone and said,
"We have been fighting for a whole day today. Do you feel that this battle is easy to win or not?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.
Everyone knows that it is difficult to fight, but no one wants to embolden others and destroy their own prestige, or say something to make Nie Chen unhappy.
Finally, Wang Hao, who understood Nie Chen's character, stood up and said,
"My lord, Ren Jun is good at attacking and defending. Today we have been attacking for a whole day, but not a single person has climbed to the top of the city. The enemy is very stubborn, and the various arms are well coordinated and coordinated.
The enemy army we face, under the leadership of Ren Jun, is a well-trained tiger and wolf division that is both offensive and defensive. With these 200,000 people defending the city, it will be really difficult for our army to defeat it unless they run out of food and grass. .
Even if it takes half a year, it will be difficult for our army to defeat it. "
"That's right."
Nie Chen nodded,
"And we don't have that long. Ren Jun is a very good coach. He is very smart and rarely makes mistakes.
If we want to annihilate the enemy, we must lure the enemy out. Obviously, Ren Jun will not make such a low-level mistake.
In this case, let's replace him. "
After Nie Chen finished speaking, he smiled brightly.
…
In the next two or three days, the Feng army led by Nie Chen kept chasing and beating around Wang'an County. Trebuchets, city-breaking crossbows, and army-breaking crossbows were thrown at the city walls as if they were free. They were smashing them here, and they were sending people to make arrows and stone bullets there.
He put on a very fierce posture, but he didn't send troops to press forward.
Ren Jun, on the other hand, was determined not to go to war and would defend the county seat.
Gradually, rumors began to appear in the capital, both in official circles and among the people.
Rumor has it that Ren Jun was timid and timid, and was suppressed and beaten by Feng Jun. He did not dare to go out to fight and defeat the enemy. Even the enemy soldiers lay lazily outside the city and fired arrows, so Ren Jun did not dare to go out to fight.
Rumors also say that Nie Chen once drank with the generals in the camp. After getting drunk, he loudly said that Ren Jun's children could be destroyed with a snap of his fingers. He was so happy that Mingxuan sent Ren Jun to lead the troops.
He also said that the entire Mingxuan court was full of local chickens and dogs. The only one who could make Nie Chen fear him was Pang Shou, the Marquis of Shou Yuan. He also said that Pang Shou was brave, good at fighting, and invincible. If this man could lead the army, , his 400,000 miscellaneous army will definitely be wiped out.
While drinking at that time, Zhou An, who was also drunk, put forward a different opinion. When it came to bravery, Pang Shou was not his opponent. He wanted to compete with Pang Shou to see who was more brave.
For this reason, Nie Chen and Zhou An even had a big quarrel. Nie Chen said that Zhou An was arrogant and arrogant. It should be noted that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the sky. Our own army is no match for Pang Shou.
Zhou An said, however, that Pang Shou was only a withered bone in the tomb of a native chicken, a tile, and a dog. Under his own three halberds, he would definitely take Pang Shou's head!
There was even a debate within the Korean army to discuss who was more powerful, Zhou An or Pang Shou.
The Korean troops in the capital all know these things, let alone the officials in the DPRK and China and Pang Shou himself.
When Pang Shou heard that Nie Chen was so afraid of him, he laughed three times, drank three bowls of wine, stood in front of his house and shouted to the sky, saying that he would capture Nie Chen alive and kidnap him to the capital for torture.
When he heard Zhou An's words, he was furious and wanted to pick up the knife and fight Zhou An himself.
For this reason, Pang Shou wrote three times a day, asking Mingxuan to send him to replace Ren Jun, saying that when he arrived in Wang'an County, he would definitely be able to defeat Nie Chen and capture Nie Chen alive and present him to the emperor.
As this rumor spread, another rumor spread among the Korean army.
That is to say, Ren Jun actually had the intention of returning to Feng for a long time, but because his family was still in the capital, for the safety of his family, he delayed in surrendering.
The reason why he never went out to fight was because he didn't want to have too much trouble with Nie Chen, didn't want to increase the casualties of the Feng army, and didn't want to anger Nie Chen. He just wanted to pave the way for Gui Feng in the future.
No one knows whether these two pieces of news are true or false, but they have become more and more intense, reaching the point where everyone knows about them.
Now that everyone knows it, Ren Jun must also know it.
He personally wrote a letter to Mingxuan, saying that this was all a stratagem by the enemy and a tactic to attack people's hearts, and that he was loyal to Dahan and had no second thoughts.
Originally it was nothing, at most it just increased Mingxuan's suspicion, but he was so stubborn that he added a sentence at the end.
He said that Pang Shou was brave but not wise. He must not send Pang Shou to replace him, otherwise the army would be defeated and defeated by Nie Chen.
After receiving the letter, Mingxuan was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he immediately convened a court meeting to discuss the matter.
All the civil and military officials of the court were present, and the prime ministers on the left and right stood at the front. Naturally, Pang Shou also came.
Mingxuan was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on a dragon chair, holding a memorial and said,
"Right Prime Minister, please read it."
"I obey the decree!"
Mr. Fang, the right prime minister, looked at the memorial in the eunuch's hand and said,
"Your Majesty, this is Ren Jun's memorial."
"read!"
"I obey the order."
Mr. Fang opened the memorial and started reading it. The more he read it, the more frightened he became, and the sadness on his face lingered.
After finishing reading, a pot immediately exploded in the court hall.
Pang Shou stood up and without saluting, he just yelled and cursed,
"What does he mean by being appointed to the army? Why do you mean that if I, Pang Shou, go to Wang'an County, I will be defeated by Nie Chen? What do you mean by this?"
Is Ren Jun the only one who knows how to fight? He, Ren Jun, is the only one capable? Am I a loser? Will I be hacked to death by Nie Chen when I get there?
What does it mean for him to be in the army? Is there anyone who looks down on people so much? I, Pang Shou, have won as many battles as he does..."
Mingxuan frowned and slapped the table, saying,
"Okay, okay, Pang Shou, please be quiet first! I haven't spoken yet, but you started making noises. Why don't you come and sit on the dragon chair and talk? I'll go down and listen to you!"
