Chapter 1049 Negotiation

"Report to the lord, Dongcheng District has been captured."

"Report to my lord, Beicheng District has been captured."

"Report to the lord, Nancheng District has been captured."

……………………

A series of good news came. With Dong Min, the best general, as the internal response, the Shang Ji army hardly encountered any effective resistance when they entered Luoyang City. They easily controlled the outer city and succeeded with Dong Min's assistance. Forced surrender of more than 2 million defenders in the outer city.

However, things were not all smooth sailing, and bad news soon came.

"I tell my lord that the defenders of the inner city refuse to surrender and at the same time refuse our army to enter the city. Please tell me how to proceed."

The captain who was in charge of leading the troops to attack the inner city returned with a depressed expression on his face. Among all the troops, he was the only one who returned without success, which made him feel very embarrassed.

"Do you know who the defender of the inner city is?"

Shang Ji had expected the inner city's refusal to surrender, no matter whether it was Diao Chan or Dong Huang who controlled the city wall at this time, it was impossible to abandon the city and surrender.

"My lord, forgive me. I don't know the end general. I only know that the general guarding the city seems to be a female general."

Alright, I already know, you step back for now.

Hearing that the guards were female generals, Shang Ji nodded in understanding, and waved his hand to signal the captain to step down.

In fact, as far as Shang Ji himself is concerned, he hopes that it is Dong Huang who controls the city wall now. Compared with Diao Chan, Shang Ji subconsciously thinks that Dong Huang is easier to deal with.

It's just a pity that Diao Chan seems to have controlled the situation now.

Of course, it is impossible for Shang Ji to admit defeat so easily. On the one hand, he sent troops to attack the city, and on the other hand, he played Dong Ming's card well, and continued to play Dong Min's advantage as the supreme commander of Luoyang City, trying to take advantage of him This identity deceived the gate of the inner city.

It's just that Shang Ji's abacus is very loud, but Diao Chan is not a vegetarian anymore. Just when Shang Ji was planning to take action, Diao Chan's envoy had already arrived in Shang Ji's camp.

The person who came was Mrs. Fan, whom Shang Ji was familiar with.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Fan came just in time. Our army has already fulfilled the agreement. Please honor the agreement and hand over Luoyang City to us."

Seeing Mrs. Fan, Shang Ji laughed and greeted her warmly.

Mrs. Fan bowed profusely, saluted, and then said: "I'll talk about the dedication of the city later, but this time my concubine has brought a great gift to the general."

"Oh? Great gift? I don't know what kind of gift it is?"

Clap!

Mrs. Fan smiled slightly and patted her bare hands. A guard behind him immediately stepped forward. He was still holding a box with a size of one foot in his arms. It should contain the generous gift that Mrs. Fan claimed.

"Open this gift and ask Marquis Ning to have a look."

Mrs. Fan's soft voice sounded, and the guards immediately took orders and opened the box.

I saw a human head still stained with blood in the box!

This person's eyes are wide open, and the frozen eyes are full of disbelief.

Shang Ji frowned, snorted coldly, and said displeasedly: "What's the meaning of this? Could it be that you are provoking this general?"

Mrs. Fan bowed again, and said with a smile: "Ning Hou misunderstood, I admire Ning Hou so much, how dare I provoke Ning Hou Huwei? Although this seems a little rude, it is a real generous gift."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Fan said again: "Mr. Ning knows, whose head is this?"

Shang Ji had already guessed in his mind, but at this time he pretended not to know, and asked sullenly, "Who is it?"

"This is Dong Zhuo's nephew, second only to Dong Min in Luoyang City, and the leader of Huben Zhonglang General Dong Huang!"

"I see,

If Dong Huang is the leader, it can barely be called a generous gift. Your lord's wishes will be accepted, but the most urgent time is to fulfill the agreement as soon as possible and hand over Luoyang City to our army.

As Madam saw, the outer city of Luoyang will not bother your army, I will come to pick it up in person, and you just need to hand over the inner city to the general. "

Mrs. Fan bowed again, her expression unchanged, and she said: "Ninghou Rongzhi, this Luoyang City cannot be handed over to you for the time being!"

"Huh? Are you playing tricks on me?"

Shang Ji frowned, snorted coldly, and questioned angrily. At the same time, a majestic murderous intent enveloped Mrs. Fan.

Mrs. Fan is also quite a heroine. Facing Shang Ji's murderous persecution, her expression remained unchanged, her face was calm, she bowed her body and said: "General, we have something to say first, we can give you Luoyang City, but it must be at the right time. You are not allowed to attack Luoyang City without taking the initiative to hand over Luoyang City to you. Now it seems that you are the general who broke the contract first."

"Huh, sophistry! What do you think is the right time? Could it be that you have always thought that the timing is not right, so you have not handed over Luo Yang to this general? Is it easy to bully this general? I will give you another one." If there is an opportunity, quickly hand over Luoyang City to our army, otherwise don't blame Ben, who will turn his face and deny anyone."

Faced with Shang Ji's ultimatum-like speech, Madam Fan couldn't help but her complexion changed, but she calmed down in an instant, looked directly at Shang Ji, and said without showing any weakness: "We admire the prestige of the general and respect him a lot. , but the general must not think that we will be at the mercy of the general when we are women, I believe the general has not forgotten the scene when the water was closed, right?"

"presumptuous!"

Liu Meng, Zhao Yun and others nearby shouted in unison, and some even drew their weapons and made threats.

It's just that, Madam Fan became more calm on the contrary, she looked at Shang Ji with a smile, a look that I expected you wouldn't dare to do anything.

Well, Mrs. Fan really guessed correctly, Shang Ji really didn't dare to break up with Diao Chan easily.

There are two main reasons why most of the troops were not sent to attack the inner city. One is that the main force of Shangji is all cavalry, which is not suitable for attacking the city. The second is to worry about a repeat of the scene of closing the water.

Although many people have analyzed that Diao Chan's miraculous ability to instigate one-tenth of the army in one fell swoop must have extremely strict restrictions, and it is impossible to reuse it in a short period of time. But Shang Ji didn't dare to gamble, the last time he went down to Pingchuan at Baoshuiguan, if he failed, he could always run away, this place is in Luoyang city, there is no place to run even if there is one event.

Even if Diao Chan did not have this skill, and Shang Ji lacked heavy siege equipment, he would definitely not be able to forcibly break through the inner city in a short period of time, but once the time dragged on, it would be easy for the snipe and the clam to compete for the fisherman's profit.

Generally speaking, now Shang Ji and Diao Chan are both afraid of beating the wolf with a stick. Although Shang Ji can bluff and threaten intimidation, if Diao Chan is not determined, he can also bluff Shang Ji.

"Tiger Minister and Zilong retreat, don't be rude to Madam."

Shang Ji waved his hand, signaling Zhao Yun and Liu Meng to put away their weapons.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fan also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Little girl is reckless, thank you General for your generosity."

This is where the gender advantage is reflected. If it is a male messenger, the atmosphere has been so broken before, even if it doesn't tear the face, then there is definitely no way to talk about it. But women are different. Mrs. Fan doesn't have to worry about the face issue at all, she simply bows her head and admits her mistake, making Shang Ji feel helpless to continue the previous topic.

"My lord, there is an urgent military situation."

Just when God was thinking about how to resolve the impasse in front of him, there was a sudden rush of voices, and it was Chen Guan who came.

Chen Guan glanced at Mrs. Fan, ignored her, and went directly to Shang Ji's side, whispering something in his ear.

After hearing this, Shang Ji's expression changed drastically, and he stood up and said, "I think I will need to talk to your lord in person."
