"You can't blame me!" Wang Yanchao couldn't help but say when he thought of the environment of Qingniling:

"In this way, you go to Qingniling with me to have a look, and you will have to test it out!"

"But before that, you have to provide good food for my ten thousand soldiers!"

"This is natural!" Zhang Hui responded helplessly.

Immediately, in a few days, from the Tianxiong Army of Qinzhou, the Zhangyi Army of Jingzhou, the Jingnan Army of Fenzhou, and the rest of Chengzhou and Jiezhou in Longyou, they sent troops to gather nearly 30,000 troops.

In other words, most of the military forces in the west of Chang'an have basically arrived.

However, the only one who came from the Jiedushi was Wang Yanchao, so he deserved to be the loose commander.

After raising 30,000 soldiers, Wang Yanchao was not only not happy, but was rather sad.

The soldiers and horses of the vassal states were all rebellious and forced to command him, but they did not have the will of the court. Their reputation and bad words were all derived from his prestige.

After the army went to Qingniling, he stationed locally and ordered Qinfeng four prefectures to provide food and grass, but he stopped moving forward, saying that he had to wait for the imperial edict before he could move again.

At this time, it was raining and raining, the green mud hill was slippery and difficult to move, and it was rugged and dangerous. Everyone was afraid of it and did not dare to try it easily, for fear that the losses would be too great.

The soldiers of the vassal states belong to their own, and the Xingyuan Prefecture belongs to the court. For the sake of the court's losses, only fools are willing to do it.

The generals and schools thought that Wang Yanchao also wanted to maintain his strength, but he did not dare to offend the court, so they stopped like this and could explain it to the court.

While staying on the Jiexi Mountain next to Qingniling, Pan Chongche began to have a headache. He summoned Han Baozheng to discuss.

"Have the Song army still hesitated to advance?" Pan Chongche asked.

"I've reported to the challenge. Now it's raining heavily and the mountains are wet and slippery. The Song people are as timid as mice. They dare not try and stay on the spot. I think they know the right way and dare not die easily!"

Han Baozheng said with a smile.

"That's not good!" Pan Chongche shook his head and said, "It's now rainy and rainy, Xingzhou is hundreds of miles away from Lizhou. Although a certain person has recruited many ponies, it is difficult to transport food and grass. The grain team can only travel thirty miles a day. From Lizhou to here, it will take three stones to transport one stone!"

"At present, food and grass have become our big problem!"

"The last general Zeng Hanzhong has been stationed. The winter is cold and rainy for more than ten days. It is sunny for only a few days. Before the ground is dry, it rains again. It is muddy and difficult to move. In spring and winter, people are almost moldy!"

Han Baozheng shook his head and said, "Only until summer can you have some sunny days and make it easier to march!"

"We are even more at a disadvantage compared to us!"

Pan Chongche said helplessly: "The Song people can transport food and grass from the Jialing River, but we are surrounded by mountains, with 30,000 people, and Xingzhou cannot be sustained!!"

"I originally hoped that he would attack the camp and defend it and to slash his spirit, but the Song people were so cautious. Wang Yanchao deserved the famous general and guarded Fengxiang for many years!"

"So what about us?" Han Baozheng was not panicked, but chose to believe Pan Chongche and wait for his order!

"I will leave all the remaining food and grass for you. As long as we guard Qingniling, it will be worth it if we send tens of thousands of troops!"

Pan Chongche thought for a moment and said directly: "I will return to Nanzheng with more than 20,000 people and join forces with Gao Yanqi. After conquering Nanzheng, I will be able to reconcile with you. Remember to keep it safe and don't be lured out of the mountain by him!"

"I will know it all!" Han Baozheng agreed.

At one age, he is hard to have passion and a calm temperament, which is most suitable.

Pan Chongche led more than 20,000 people to withdraw from Xingzhou City and go directly to Nanzheng.

Cui Yan was trapped in the lonely city and was surrounded by 20,000 people. Now he suddenly felt that tens of thousands of people were coming, and Nan Zheng was instantly trapped in a mess.

When he climbed up and looked at him, he suddenly saw that among the tens of thousands of Tang troops who returned, there were many prisoners wearing Song robes. They were strung with long ropes, and they were all dejected and were obviously defeated.

"How could it be? Did the reinforcements be defeated?"

Cui Yanjin couldn't believe it, but these thousands of prisoners could not be faked. He was dizzy for a moment, and his heart was twisted and turned around.

At this moment, a general suddenly rode his horse and shouted out loudly outside the range of the bow and arrow: "The 20,000 army led by the governor of Fengxiang Wang Yanchao has been repelled by our army and was defeated. He was only exempted from his own life and has been returned to Fengxiang!"

"Qingniling is also occupied by our army. The Guanzhong army will never come again. Surrender quickly. Otherwise, the day when the city is broken, there will be no chicken or dog left!"

Looking at the broken limbs and broken arms on Nanzheng City, Cui Yanjin was still a little surprised and did not believe it.

"Wang Yanchao has a reputation, but he was defeated by Pan Chongche. Is he really invincible?"

"Qingniling is a dangerous place in the world. Wang Yanchao can no longer stand it, but he cannot defeat the natural danger!"

At this time, Zhang Tinghan, the commander of the horse army beside him, said in a deep voice, with a rather low tone.

"Yes, Shu has many more natural dangers, so it can survive for decades. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage!"

Cui Yanjin sighed with emotion, dozens of generals and schoolmen around him bowed their heads and remained silent. Obviously, with Qingniling blocking it, Nanzheng was already a desperate situation, and it would be a matter of time before the city was destroyed.

"Deployment, what should you say?"

Zhang Tinghan is now forty-six years old, and is a veteran from the north with a high prestige. He thought for a moment, and instead of everyone, he asked Cui Yanjin.

"We will be futile even if we stay in such a desperate situation for a few more days. Instead of dying for no reason, it is better to keep this useful body and make another plan?"

Cui Yanjin said tentatively.

"Our family members are all in the Central Plains. If they surrender, they will be in trouble!" Zhang Tinghan shook his head and looked hesitant.

"Why don't a real man have no wife?" Cui Yanjin came to the troubled times and had long been indifferent to surrender. Moreover, he had only served for the State of Song for a few years, so where did he get his loyalty in his heart?

He glanced at Zhang Tinghan and knew that this person was the key, so he couldn't help but continue to persuade: "Besides, we are trapped in the lonely city and there are no reinforcements, so it is not embarrassing to surrender. Even if the Zhao Guan family comes, we can argue with each other!"

"Besides, if we surrender, the Tang people can also be deceived by the outside world and be captured or killed, so their families will naturally be fine!"

"It doesn't matter if we die, but the tens of thousands of people in the city and these 20,000 soldiers cannot die in vain!"

"Well!" Zhang Tinghan shook his head and said with a look of emotion: "For the people in this city, brothers, what are my old faces afraid of? I will obey the orders deployed!"

"I will obey the orders of deployment!" The other generals and schools listened and felt that it made sense. It was better to live than to die well. Surrendering in troubled times is normal.

What's more, it's not embarrassing to lose to Pan Chongche. The Tang Dynasty unified the south and there is still a future.

In this way, after more than ten days of besieging Nanzheng City, Pan Chongche asked his soldiers to put on Song robes, shouted, and Xingyuan Mansion surrendered.

On this side, Wang Yanchao learned of Pan Chongche's departure and immediately came over and led an army of 30,000 to attack Qingniling day and night.

Qingniling was lazy for many days and was suddenly attacked by him. He could not resist for a while and was almost taken away.

It turned out that Song Bing built a plank road in the morning and secretly visited Chen Cang.

The number of people was cut down on the surface and the road was repaired to paralyze the Qingniling defenders.

But in fact, they were secretly looking for a small plank road. After all, Qingniling is a mountain surrounded by mountains, and there were countless paths. Wang Yanchao sent more than a thousand elite troops to attack a cliff plank road on a section of Baishui Road, almost defeating the Tang army in Qingniling.

Seeing this, Han Bao personally supervised the army and led his personal guards to the top, barely defending half of Qingni Ridge, but the Song soldiers were fierce and Qingni Ridge was in danger.

After Pan Chongche captured Nanzheng, he rushed over and finally got the Song army and guarded Qingniling.

Afterwards, Pan Chongche had a little soldiers and found that there were only less than a thousand people left in the five thousand Tang army. If he came two hours later, Qingniling would really change its ownership.

"Wang Yanchao is worthy of being a veteran, and it is really not to be underestimated!"
