The next day, the two sides held a surrender ceremony.

Liu Hansan didn't believe him because he said he was willing to surrender, and Zhang Yingyuan didn't ask all the soldiers to lay down their weapons because Liu Hansan made a promise.

In that case, he can only let Liu Hansan slaughter.

According to the agreed process, Zhang Yingyuan first asked the seven thousand soldiers to lay down their weapons and accept Liu Hansan's adaptation.

The 6,000 people directly under Zhang Yingyuan continued to be stationed in Tongling.

These 7,000 people are Zhang Yingyuan's votes. After receiving these 7,000 people, Liu Hansan brought a part of the army into the city for garrison, and the other part stayed in Datong Town, a major traffic road outside the city, to complete the defense of the Qing army. .

On the Tongling side, things were going well, but on the Xuancheng side, Wang Dayong was in trouble.

When Wang Dayong arrived in Xuancheng, he found that the banner of Daming was hanging on Xuancheng.

After sending soldiers to negotiate, they learned that the Qing army in the city had surrendered to Fang Guoan, and Xuancheng had been occupied by Fang Guoan.

"General, what should we do now?"

Commander Yue Hong asked.

The task Wu Changqing gave them was to occupy Xuancheng, but now Xuancheng has fallen into Fang Guoan's hands. Everyone is now the army of Daming, and it is not very good to do it directly, and it will be hurt and angry.

However, if you don't do it, expecting Fang Guoan to give up Xuancheng is obviously impossible.

"Let Fang Guoan open the city gate, and we have to go in and rest. Also, ask him to hand over Li Chengdong's troops, because Li Chengdong has surrendered to us, and Li Chengdong's troops should also belong to us."

Wang Dayong is ready to take the initiative to pick things up, as long as there is an excuse, they can do it with Fang Guoan.

As for what impact this will have, he is not worried.

As the core figure around Wu Changqing, he naturally knew Wu Changqing's ambitions, so he didn't put Fang Guoan and Zhu Yihai in his eyes.

If it weren't for the fear of getting caught, he wouldn't even bother to negotiate now, and he would be done with a direct attack.

Later, Wang Dayong brought his personal soldiers to the city.

"General Wang, you are a step late, Xuancheng has already been captured by me. This Xuancheng will be handed over to me to be stationed, and General Wang can rest assured to attack and recover other places."

On the city wall, Fang Guoan said.

"General Fang, even if you take Xuancheng first, at least you have to let my brothers in for the night. Do you want my tens of thousands of brothers to sleep in the wild? Besides, Li Chengdong has surrendered to our army, please put His original subordinates are returned."

Wang Dayong said.

"Presumptuous, what qualifications do you have to talk to Grandpa Guo like this."

Fang Guoan's subordinates scolded loudly that the imperial edict to confer Wu Changqing as King of Wu has not been officially promulgated, and Wu Changqing and Fang Guoan are still the same title.

And Wang Dayong was just a general and a viscount under Wu Changqing.

Fang Guoan raised his hand, signaling his subordinates not to get excited.

He replied: "Xuancheng is small, and our army is already crowded with 30,000 people. I'm afraid it can't hold the general's troops. As for Li Chengdong's subordinates, they have surrendered to our army and become part of our army. Li Chengdong has nothing to do with it."

Fang Guoan did not want to have a conflict with Wang Dayong. Although they now have the upper hand in military strength, they are incomparable to Wu Changqing in terms of total military strength.

Moreover, Wu Jun's combat power is strong, and he has also heard of it.

He didn't want to go to war with Wu Jun unless he had to.

Of course, he wouldn't let out the fat he got.

He took the initiative to report the number of his troops, and also wanted Wang Dayong to retreat.

However, with a mere 30,000 people, Wang Dayong really didn't take it seriously.

"General Fang, it's fine if you don't let the city enter. Li Chengdong's troops must be handed over to me, otherwise don't blame me for attacking the city directly."

Wang Dayong continues to pick things up, and now he is afraid that Fang Guoan will be too tolerant, so that he can't find an excuse.

"Presumptuous, Wang Dayong, you are still motivated when I give you a face, right? I am the grandfather of the State of Lujian, who are you, and you are worthy of my conditions? If you want to attack, you can attack, you are me Are 30,000 soldiers a vegetarian?"

Fang Guoan suddenly scolded him. He was a dignified grandfather, but was ignored by a small general, which made him lose face.

If this is compromised, there will be no prestige in front of the soldiers in the future.

"Attack, attack, don't you think I dare not?"

After Wang Dayong finished speaking, he withdrew, and then arranged for people to attack the city.

Seeing Wu Jun's actions, Fang Guoan's lungs were about to explode.

He thought that Wang Dayong was just talking, to scare himself, but he didn't expect Wang Dayong to come true.

Everyone still belongs to the same imperial court, so it would be too presumptuous to attack each other like this.

"General, they are really going to attack the city, what should we do?"

the minister asked.

"I ordered to prepare for defense, I want to occupy this Xuancheng, and I don't ask our army to answer."

Fang Guoan didn't want to have a bad relationship with Wu Changqing at this time, but things forced him to develop in this direction. He couldn't give up Xuancheng. He also wanted to expand his strength and improve his status.

"Immediately send messengers to report to the imperial court and ask them to give Wu Changqing an order to restrain their troops."

Fang Guoan also issued an order, hoping that the court could mediate.

He is confident to stop Wang Dayong's 10,000 people, but he knows that Wu Jun still has more than 100,000 troops.

for reinforcements. When Wu Jun's army came, he couldn't take it anymore.

Therefore, Fang Guoan hopes that the court can play a role in stopping Wu Changqing's hegemonic actions.

After a simple preparation, the Wu army began to attack.

They brought with them twenty guns, two thousand flintlocks, three thousand arquebuses, one thousand cavalry, and more than three thousand infantry.

The Ming army had 30,000 soldiers, and 8,000 soldiers were available, and their strength was actually more than that of the Wu army. What's more, they also have the advantage of city walls.

Originally, in such a disadvantaged situation, the Wu army was not suitable for an immediate attack.

However, Wang Dayong was afraid of Fang Guoan's sudden resignation, so he couldn't wait to make the relationship deadlocked and create conflicts, regardless of the three-seven-two-one attack.

Twenty cannons began to fire, and a small number of shells fell on the city wall, killing and injuring a large number of soldiers.

"Damn it, sir, didn't you say it's our Daming troops, why are you still firing at us?"

Some soldiers at the bottom yelled, no one likes this kind of unwarranted disaster.

"They are Wu Guogong's troops, and we are Fang Guogong's troops."

A soldier said.

"Isn't it all Daming's army?"

It is difficult for the soldiers at the bottom to sort out the relationship between them, but this is not important, the important thing is that they need to go to war with Wu Jun.

This is by no means good news for those soldiers.

Now it is said that Wu Jun is invincible in battle and is the division of tigers and wolves, which puts a lot of pressure on soldiers.
