Inside the Taoyuan Army City Lord's tent.
"Keep dancing, keep dancing." Liu was busy dancing the cha-cha dance, constantly twisting his body in this moving dance posture.
"Haha! Boss, you made me laugh to death."
The three gangsters burst into laughter.
"Lord City Lord."
At this time, Niu Dali came in to report. He was already accustomed to the coquettish appearance of the city lord.
When Liu Mang saw Niu Dali coming in, he stopped dancing, sat down and took a sip of wine.
"Well? Are the prisoners all obedient?"
"Yes, sir. Now I guess they won't even want to leave if I drive them away."
"Well, very good. I'll give you credit for this."
"Boss, why are we surrounding Jinzhou every day?" Little Bear asked in confusion.
Liu Mang said mysteriously, "Wait for someone."
Everyone was confused. This rotten city wall would probably fall down with just a few dozen cannon shots. Why were they still waiting for people?
"Go, ask the city to send some singing girls out to entertain this city lord." Liu Mang suddenly felt a little bored.
They were all confused by the boss's sudden move, "Uh... Boss, we're enemies! Why would they send the singer to us?
Liu Mang rolled his eyes at them. "Why? Because I have hundreds of cannons. Tell them that if they don't send them out, I'll bombard them all day tomorrow. Got you understood?"
Several people's eyes lit up, and they gave Liu Mang a thumbs up and said, "Great, Boss is really smart."
"Gao your uncle, why don't you go quickly."
"Hehe, great!" Everyone was extremely excited. It would be better to have a woman dance than to watch the boss dance.
So a few people, along with a few guards, ran to the city wall and started shouting.
"Listen up, everyone up there! Send five, no, ten singing girls down to our boss, or we'll have you in trouble tomorrow."
The defenders on the city wall were cowering in fear.
I didn't dare show my head, but I could still hear the shouting from below.
"Hurry and report the rebel army's demands to the general."
"Oh! I'll go right away."
In the Jinzhou government office, all the civil and military officials were filled with anger when they heard this request.
General Li clenched his fists and glared.
"This is a blatant humiliation and simply too much."
After the old general had vented his anger, the Jinzhou prefect timidly asked, "Should we send it or not?"
"Forehead..."
The whole hall suddenly became quiet and no one dared to speak.
If you say you want to give it to someone, you will definitely be criticized. If you say you don't want to give it to someone, you will be held responsible. Anyway, whoever says that is an idiot. Otherwise, just let the taller person take over.
Then everyone looked at the old general.
The old general was so angry that he was vomiting blood. Damn, you really hope that this general’s death is not thorough enough, right?
But he waved his hands helplessly and said weakly, "Just pick a few for them!"
How could he not send it? He was helpless too!
"Yes, sir."
But the subordinates really sent a few old ladies out.
When Liu Mang saw this, he was so angry that he directly ordered the field artillery positions to fire several shells at the city.
The civil and military officials in the Jinzhou government office who were about to eat were so frightened that they hid under the table and trembled.
Not long after, several soldiers returned with the old Yu women, saying with a bitter face, "General, those bandits said that if we dare to send them away again, we will bombard them for a whole day to teach us a lesson."
The old general looked at those women and thought to himself, who can really do the job? Isn't this obviously disgusting?
"Go and borrow from the merchants in the city. Even if you only have to pick one from each family, you have to get ten. If anyone is unwilling, all the men in his family will be sent to guard the city wall." The old general said harshly.
"Yes, sir."
As expected, the merchants had more beautiful singers. After they were sent out, the bandit army outside stopped making trouble.
Everyone could finally eat in peace.
"Old General, this isn't going to work. Jinzhou City is under blockade, and the food supply is almost gone. Jinzhou, which has just recovered a bit, may be littered with corpses again."
"Well, wait. I think the court will have a result tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"This bandit army is surrounding the court without attacking, simply to negotiate with the court. Now that a large army has gathered, those merchants who can't get the goods from Taoyuan will also put pressure on the court."
Upon hearing this, there was a sigh in the hall.
With ten singing girls, Liu Mang began to live a life of extravagance and decadence, until two days later, when a group of imperial envoys arrived.
Lao Lin and four other ministers were being led into the military camp by Taoyuan soldiers. Looking at the trenches and iron pipe positions outside Jinzhou City, the fat on their faces could not help but tremble.
"Lord Lin, are those artillery pieces?" A middle-aged man in a third-rank official uniform had his eyes flashing.
"Um..."
Boom~~!
Just as Lao Lin finished answering, it was time for the routine noon artillery fire, which was a good opportunity for the imperial envoys to broaden their horizons.
There was a sound from an artillery position, and soon several small mushroom clouds exploded on the city wall.
The imperial envoys were frightened.
It is indeed a powerful weapon. If more attacks are launched, the city wall may not be able to withstand it.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and report."
Only then did they realize that they had unknowingly arrived in front of a huge tent.
A moment later, the soldier came out and said, "Sirs, please come in."
Liu Mang saw that the people coming were five people wearing Dayan official robes, and Lao Lin was among them.
"Haha! Lao Lin, long time no see. How are my two little ladies?"
When Lao Lin heard that Liu Mang was craving his cabbage again, he immediately glared at Liu Mang, as if he was ready to fight him.
"Bah! Liu Mang, please don't ruin my daughter's reputation, or I will never let you go."
