Chapter six hundred and ninety-six to Han Han

Wanyan Zonghan's face was flushed and he knelt down on one knee and said, "The Taiyuan Prefecture has been moved south."

"What about Taiyuan City?" Wanyan Sheng stared at Wanyan Zonghan with sharp eyes.

Wanyan Zonghan lowered his head and whispered: "It has not been captured yet!"

"Ha! Not captured yet?" Wanyan Sheng's voice suddenly became louder, and he asked sternly: "More than a month has passed, Zong Wang and his mother have begun to consider withdrawing their troops and retreating north, but you told me that Taiyuan City has not been captured yet. Please let everyone listen. Do you still have the face to report to me? Tell me again, how many casualties were killed in the attack on Taiyuan City?"

Wanyan Zonghan dared not hide it, so he could only whisper: "Forty-eight thousand casualties were injured, of which 42,000 were killed."

"What!"

Wanyan Sheng slapped the table heavily and was furious. The entire hall was in an uproar. No one could believe his ears, and more than 40,000 people were killed.

Only Wanyan Sheng's angry rebuke was heard in the hall, "The Eastern Route Army captured Yanjing Prefecture and captured the two Hebei routes. There were only more than 2,000 casualties in total. You actually killed more than 40,000 people. How do you explain?"

"I am willing to take all the responsibility!"

The deputy prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Cibushi, had a very good relationship with Wanyan Zonghan. He was also Wanyan Sheng's cousin. He had a high prestige in the Jin Dynasty. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped out and said slowly: "Zonghan is a recognized famous Jurchen general. He was the first hero of conquering Liao Kingdom Shangjing, defeating Xixia, and seizing Datong Prefecture. No one would question his combat ability. Since he fought hard for more than a month and had heavy casualties and could not conquer Taiyuan, there must be his reasons. The wolf master might as well listen to him."

"You explain! I'll give you a chance."

Wanyan Zonghan sighed for a while and said, "The reason is just one. The opponent's chief general is too powerful. I am not his opponent."

"Who is the head of Taiyuan City?"

Wanyan Zonghan hesitated and said, "Li Yanqing!"

The hall suddenly fell silent. The name "Li Yanqing" was a taboo for the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom, and no one wanted to mention it. To a certain extent, the old wolf master died indirectly at his hands. Everyone tried to avoid this name to avoid remembrance of the old wolf master.

But Wanyan Zonghan's opponent was Li Yanqing again, which made them unable to avoid it. This reason made Wanyan Sheng's anger disappear. He was silent for a long time and said, "Then how do you deal with the disadvantages of attacking Taiyuan now?"

"I can't think of a suitable solution, so I can only deal with it by besieging the city, and hope to cut off the food in the city and surrender without fighting!"

After pausing, Wanyan Zonghan said again: "Weichen had information before that the official Taiyuan City stockpile 500,000 stones of grain, so I'm afraid the goal will not be achieved in the short term."

The hall fell silent again, and Wanyan Zonghan's statement made everyone feel helpless. At this time, Wanyan Zongwang said: "Please allow the wolf master to say something."

Wanyan Zonghan's face suddenly looked a little ugly. At this time, what he didn't want to see was his brother Wanyan Zongwang.

Wanyan Sheng waved his hand, "You said that!"

"On the way to Yanjing, Mr. Liang thought of a way to conquer Taiyuan City. Weichen thought it was feasible!"

Everyone's targets in the hall were immediately concentrated on Liang Fangping, and Wanyan Sheng said happily: "Mr. Liang, please tell everyone about the strategy to defeat the enemy?"
