"General, General Dou has already set off the army, and the whole army is riding horses and riding horses. Should we set off if we want to set off?"

Zhou Yang, a general reported to Li Tianrun in the temporary military camp.

"I'm really anxious! But what's the use?" Hearing this, Li Tianrun sneered and ordered: "Don't pull out the camp, bury the pot and make rice, and set off again tomorrow."

"Yes." Hearing this, the general immediately went down to make arrangements.

Li Tianrun sneered and continued to wipe his sword.

Li Tianrun would naturally not be a stupid person if he could sit in the position of a second-rank general and a general who was strongly suppressed by civil officials.

He understood the current situation very clearly. The court wanted to suppress Wang Han and wanted to use Fang La's power to consume Wang Han's strength. Otherwise, the two generals who suppressed the rebellion would not have placed the same offensive line. He was still in the middle of the official position, and he wanted to suppress Wang Han himself.

He naturally knew what Wang Han had bought a large number of carriages and made the idea. He just wanted to take one step faster and capture the city first when fighting. He also knew that Wang Han's army was very powerful. But siege was not a simple matter, let alone Zhou Run was still a difficult bone to crack.

So he let Wang Han take the lead, and even deliberately slowed down his advancement. Wang Han set out one day and deliberately asked Wang Han to fight tough battles first, consuming Wang Han's strength.

Because Zhourun is only a day and a half away from Zhouyang, Wang Han's army can get there in half a day, but Wang Han wants to take Zhourun in the remaining two days. Even if he takes it, such a tough bone was originally planned to be given to Wang Han's army.

It's just right to delay some time and rush over. If Wang Han doesn't take Zhourun, he has a reason not to take over. As a general, he needs respect for each other. When Zhourun is trapped by Wang Han, he can kill a soft persimmon and then surround Zhourun.

If Wang Han takes Zhou Run, he can also let Wang Han's army rest on the grounds that Wang Han had just fought a tough battle, and he will take over the next soft persimmon pill. Similarly, as both the general, he is still half a level higher than Wang Han. After Wang Han takes a place, he will also let the next place fight for him, so that everyone will have a good face. Taking credit alone is not the way to be an official or a general.

——————————

After half a day of horse riding, the 50,000 army led by Wang Han also arrived at the city of Zhourun (the place name is anti-local).

Zhourun itself is the confrontation between the rebel forces and the Song forces. The city walls of Zhourun City are high and thick, so there are naturally many guards in the city, and various defensive equipment on the city walls have been prepared long ago.

Zhouruncheng had already received news that the imperial army had arrived at the imperial court to suppress the rebellion, and knew that they were about to face an army of 130,000 led by two generals. Therefore, Zhouruncheng must be the key defense direction of Fang La's anti-army, and there will definitely be a large number of Fang La's anti-army gathering to resist the 130,000 army. This can be said to be the hardest bone to crack except for Fang La's Zhouhang.

When Wang Han led the army, the gate of Zhourun City had been closed and reinforced, the suspension bridge of the moat had been raised high, and the city walls were filled with dense rebels. According to information, the troops guarding the city at this time were more than 60,000, which was 10,000 more than Wang Han's troops, not to mention that the guarding the city had a city support. Even a 100,000 army might not be able to be taken down.

If Wang Han had not had more than 10,000 cavalry, Zhourun's defenders might have dared to go out of the city to fight Wang Han.

"Sure enough! It's really a difficult place to crack." Outside Zhourun City, Wang Han looked at the closed city gates and densely arranged guards on the city walls, and looked as if he had expected.

"The army was ordered to rest for an hour, and prepare to attack after an hour." After observing Zhourun City for a while, Wang Han ordered the commander. The reason why he did not order to attack the city immediately was because the army had just arrived and was a tired soldier.

"Yes." Hearing this, the messenger immediately went down to pass the order.

"Yang Zhi, send someone to persuade them to surrender, give them an hour to consider, and tell them that we will attack the city in an hour." Wang Han ordered Yang Zhi.

"I will receive the order." Hearing this, Yang Zhi immediately took the order and said, immediately found several cavalrymen and ordered them.

However, before Yang Zhi sent someone to persuade him to surrender, the gate of Zhourun City was opened. In the direction of the suspension bridge, four horsemen galloped across the suspension bridge and rushed here.

Seeing this, Wang Han couldn't help but show a little interest. However, Wang Han didn't think they were here to surrender. After all, these people have rebelled, so this is not a trivial matter.

"General Dou, you are a great hero and a great charity. We all respect you. We don't want to be enemies with you, but we really can't survive. We also ask General Dou to let us go. We don't want to meet the general." Soon, the four cavalry that Zhou Run came out to a distance of fifty meters in front of Wang Han's army, and one of the big men in general's uniform shouted loudly.

"You rebel, the world will not tolerate you. If you surrender now, you will be spared from the death of swords and soldiers." At the warning of Wang Han, Yang Zhi rode forward and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the strong man wearing general's armor said loudly: "General, now the Song Dynasty court is incompetent and the officials are protecting each other. We have been forced to survive. Even if we don't rebel, we will starve to death. General, we can't wait for your new crops. It is a fact that opposing the court is dead. Surrender is dead. Even if the court does not kill us, we and our families will starve to death. There is still a glimmer of life to resist. The general pity us poor people. If the general is willing to rebel against the court, we are willing..."

"Shut up." Hearing this, Yang Zhi immediately interrupted and scolded: "Don't speak wildly when you rebel. The general kindly persuades you to surrender. Don't be ungrateful. You should be ungrateful. Otherwise, the spear in my hand, Yang Zhi, will not be the first to spare you."

After scolding the great man, Yang Zhi immediately turned around and asked Wang Han for battle and said, "General, my subordinates asked to fight and organize the siege."

"Continue to persuade them to surrender, let them go back, and give them an hour to consider and tell them that if they do not surrender after an hour, they will attack the city." Hearing this, Wang Han said coldly, turned around and walked back to the army.

Wang Han also sympathized with these anti-army soldiers who could not survive and rebel, but it did not mean that Wang Han would be in a stalemate with them. Wang Han did not have such a great Virgin Heart, and these people did a lot of evil things after they turned against the army.

What's more, Wang Han's current status and plan cannot make him sympathize with these people too much, otherwise he will miss his major affairs. Maybe he can do it in the future, but not now.

Seeing Wang Han return to the army, the Han also knew that there was no hope of persuading Wang Han, so he could only return to Zhourun City decadently.

Yang Zhi continued to follow Wang Han's plan and sent more than 30 cavalrymen to the city wall to persuade him to surrender.

For these cavalrymen who came to persuade them to surrender, the soldiers on the walls of Zhourun City only drove them away with bows and arrows, and did not really aim at the arrows to attack. The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and the anti-army respected Wang Han, and Wang Han was also giving these anti-army a last chance.

"It seems that the ending is decided."

Among the army, watching the anti-army on the city wall just drive away the cavalry, Wang Han knew in his heart that there was no hope of persuading surrender.
