Zhang Yuangang's ability to take the position of Lord of Aolan City is related to the fact that the Zhang family is a famous family in Lan City. The Zhang family has a great business in the city. Even if it cannot compete with the wealthy families in Kyoto, it can still be ranked among the top ten in Feng Kingdom.
Once Languan is breached by the Star Army, it is impossible for the Zhang family to evacuate all the foundations in a short period of time, and even evacuating all the personnel will be a problem. Now think about it, although his position as commander-in-chief of the three armies is extremely glamorous, it is by no means nothing. An easy position to fill.
I didn't expect that being a commander-in-chief would involve so many problems. Zhang Yuangang now regrets taking over Zhao Tianyi's position. He thought that what Tang Jinjian gave him was a highest honor, but it turned out to be a hot potato. If he had known this, he would not have taken the position before. No matter how he agreed, he would not temporarily assume the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies, but it was easy to put on clothes but difficult to take them off. Now that the matter was over, he also had to consider the consequences of offending Tang Jinjian.
The next moment, when he met the other party's gaze, he directly felt a bit of grudge against Tang Jinjian, and even felt a faint feeling of being deceived by the other party. A flash of fire flashed in his eyes, and he wished he could fall out with Tang Jinjian immediately. Unfortunately, the other party's status was also not the same. He could provoke the Zhang family, but in the end he could only persuade himself to calm down.
"So what if you figure out the situation in Lan City? As long as I, Zhang Yuangang, refuse to fight to the end and keep my city gates intact for three days, when reinforcements arrive, what other methods can your Star Army have?" In any case, the main problem now is The Star Army was unable to break through the city gate in a short time, so Zhang Yuangang's attention returned to Lan Xu.
According to what he thought, as long as they prepare more things that can be used to defend the city to ensure that the city gate will not be breached by the Star Army, then they will have a high chance of blocking the Star Army's attack. When reinforcements arrive, the Star Army will It was even harder to attack them. All in all, after thinking about it from another angle, Zhang Yuangang really felt that he did not need to be too afraid of the power of the Star Army.
Unconsciously, he felt a little more confident, and his face became much calmer than before.
Although some generals had mentioned to Lan Xu that Zhang Yuangang's family power could be used as a bargaining chip to force Zhang Yuangang to surrender, those people were still negligent and failed to think that Zhang Yuangang would abandon this point.
Zhang Yuangang's resolute attitude was beyond expectation. From what the other party said just now, Lan Xu could tell that the other party's attitude was still to fight. As expected, the words he said before to persuade him to surrender were useless. Now He could only make one final attempt.
"Although I don't know where Marshal Zhang got his confidence, Marshal Zhang might as well listen to Lan's last words." Taking a deep breath, Lan Xu continued: "Now the situation in the Central Region is in chaos, and wars are everywhere. If you and I want to settle down and live in peace, You must find the right location. It is true that you want to join the Ancient Yuan Kingdom, but have you ever thought about how far away the Ancient Yuan Kingdom is from your Feng Kingdom?"
"The possibility of you getting help from the ancient Yuan Kingdom for a long time is very slim. Now your Feng Kingdom's military strength is only that. Once all my troops come, they will definitely be able to break through the Lan Pass in one fell swoop. If you don't die in the battle by then, The battlefield will also become a lost dog. Lan advises you to see the situation clearly as soon as possible and not to destroy your future."
"If the marshal thinks that the Feng Army is capable of resisting the Star Kingdom's Lions, then be prepared to fight us; if not, then surrender to us as soon as possible. In this way, the marshal can keep his original position and protect your Zhang family."
"Right and wrong are all decided by the marshal himself, but there is one thing Lan must say, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. I hope the marshal can see the situation clearly as soon as possible. Don't wait until you lose the opportunity and regret it."
"If we don't receive a reply from Marshal Zhang tomorrow morning, we will have troops approaching the city in the coming days. The city will be destroyed and people will be killed." Finally, he left a deadline, and then without waiting for Zhang Yuangang's response, Lan Xu directly ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Come quickly, leave simply. Under the command of the general above, the 100,000-strong army turned around and left in an orderly manner.
On the city tower, Zhang Yuangang and others did not speak, nor did they have any thoughts of chasing the Star Army. Looking at the scene when the Star Army evacuated, Zhang Yuangang's facial expression changed several times and finally became calm. No matter what he thought in his heart, he still showed his behavior in front of Tang Jinjian. A resolute attitude of resistance.
However, Tang Jinjian also has his own plans. He still needs to think more about Zhang Yuangang's reliability. After all, there is a Zhang family behind Zhang Yuangang. Today's incident will inevitably have an impact if it reaches the Zhang family.
As for the other five generals, they were worried about what Lan Xu had left. If the Star Army fully attacked the city tomorrow, with the current number of defenders in the city, they really had no confidence in stopping the Star Army.
There is only one day, and if the Star Army cannot give a satisfactory answer tomorrow morning, it is very likely that the two sides will meet in battle.
"Thank you two generals for your advice just now. If necessary in the future, Lan Xu will do his best." If the two generals next to him hadn't helped him think of the terms for negotiation, he really didn't know how to speak, so now he is done After that process, Lan Xu was very grateful for the help of the two colleagues.
"General Lan, you don't have to be polite. We are just ordered to assist. If General Lan hadn't been brave and invincible, he wouldn't be so domineering." The next moment, the leader of the Arrow Camp smiled and used this as a flattery.
"General Lan's attitude is very sincere. I believe that Zhang Yuangang will definitely consider it carefully," followed closely, and the Bu camp commander responded with the same smile.
"The two generals were joking. Without the help of the two generals, how could Lan have that kind of ability?" The compliments of the two people were very helpful. While responding modestly, Lan Xu also thought arrogantly that if he relied on his Temperament, there is no need to talk so much with the other party, it would be a clean and tidy attack with an army of 100,000.
"Getting back to the subject, I think that Zhang Yuangang is not as unbearable as we thought. I am afraid that the marshal's plan to persuade them to surrender will end in failure." Recalling the conversation between Zhang Yuangang and Lan Xu, the commander of the Arrow Camp said again His true opinion.
"The main purpose of coming here today is to survey the enemy's situation. I didn't intend to convince them. Don't you still understand the marshal's intention?" Shaking his head, the camp leader took over the conversation nonchalantly.
"General He, what do you say?" The next moment, Lan Xu and the commander of the Arrow camp looked directly at the commander of the Bu camp with shock on their faces.
Then, as the three of them continued their conversation, Lu Yunyou and others in the queue finally understood the purpose of their trip, which was to persuade the other party to surrender.
Recalling what Lan Xu had just said to the commander-in-chief of the other party, Lu Yunyou couldn't help but feel that Lan Xu was very domineering, and their method of persuading them to surrender was too forceful, as if they were trying to force the other party to surrender.
However, the Commander-in-Chief of the Feng Army was not a simple figure. He did not show weakness at all when responding to Lan Xu. He was considered a figure on par with Lan Xu. When others said that the Commander-in-Chief of the Feng Army was an earth-level martial artist, Lu Yunyou was immediately envious. Take Zhang Yuangang’s cultivation into account.
While he was amazed, he remembered what Lan Xu said before leaving. Everything would be known tomorrow morning. Unless the enemy commander was willing to surrender, there would be a hard battle between them, but he didn't know the final outcome.
The journey back was not as easy as when they came. Many soldiers were thinking that they might have to fight the Feng Army tomorrow. The tense atmosphere before the battle spread directly among everyone.
On the other side, not long after the Star Army left, Zhang Yuangang, Tang Jinjian and others returned to the main hall. In order to show Tang Jinjian his determination to resist the Star Army, Zhang Yuangang immediately summoned a group of generals to the hall for discussion. They must have a plan to deal with the invasion. Of course, they have generally made preparations for defending the city, and the current discussion is to improve the original plan.
With limited troops, they must formulate the most effective plan to defend the city. After discussion, Zhang Yuangang and others thought of almost all methods that were beneficial to defending the city. Regardless of the effect, any useful strategy would be adopted.
In the end, after repeated discussions, Zhang Yuangang and the others formulated a more detailed combat plan. Their previous personnel deployment strategy would not be changed, but they would further increase the difficulty of the Star Army's landing on the city.
In addition, Zhang Yuangang has decided to inform all the forces in the city about the Star Army's possible attack on the city, so that all forces can gather manpower. If the Star Army's offensive is too fierce, the people in the city may need to cooperate with them to resist the Star Army.
After several military orders were conveyed, Tang Jinjian, who had been participating in the discussion, finally relaxed his eyebrows, because all Zhang Yuangang's decisions showed that Feng Jun would fight with all his strength, no matter what the final result was, when Zhang Yuangang talked about letting the people in the city participate in the war, he told Zhang Yuangang I am already relieved.
After the discussion, Zhang Yuangang and others went back to rest. The instructions to fight against the Star Army had been conveyed. Whether it was for his own sake or for others to see, Zhang Yuangang had no choice.
With a lot on his mind, Zhang Yuangang hurriedly walked down from the city back to his usual resting place, and then wrote a letter to send back to his clan the news that the Star Army might attack the city tomorrow.
The Star Army was in full swing, and he himself believed that Lan Xu deliberately reported the number of troops. When the spy reported the news before, he clearly stated that only a portion of the Star Army was dispatched, and he was unable to determine the number of this portion of the Star Army.
