When he was about to turn his horse forward, the deputy hall master on horseback beside him advised him,

"Master, this County Magistrate Qiu is clearly trying to stall for time. In my opinion, it would be better to capture Yancheng immediately to prevent the news from leaking out and affecting the overall situation!"

"You know, we signed a military order with the Peak Master in order to dispatch our troops ahead of schedule. We promised to report the victory today!"

Yang Wei smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"I know what that old man is thinking, but the walls of Yancheng are more than two meters high, and our brothers have no experience in sieges. Even if the enemy has fewer people, there will be a lot of casualties if we want to take Yancheng."

"I'll go and hear what he wants to say. If I can persuade him to surrender directly, that would be great!"

The deputy hall master nodded in agreement, but then said with a hint of worry,

"But Hall Master, as the commander-in-chief of the army, if the enemy launches a sneak attack, you must be prepared for any eventuality..."

Yang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If Qiu Dahai were a smart person, he wouldn't do that!"

As he said this, he looked towards the city gate with sharp eyes and said with a smile,

"Of course, if he does something stupid, we can use the two conscienceless ones we asked for from the Peak Master in advance!"

"This……"

The deputy hall master wanted to persuade him again.

Yang Wei waved his hand and said,

"Alright, just listen to me on this matter. Right now, the other party is just stalling for time. I'll add some fuel to the fire. Maybe I can make them surrender!"

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the deputy hall master could only nod helplessly.

"Yes, Hall Master, you must be more careful!"

Yang Wei nodded, and then reminded,

"We brought two thousand elite armed soldiers with us. You should arrange them and be ready to engage the enemy at any time. Don't let anyone take out your ass!"

"Yes! I understand!" The deputy hall master nodded solemnly.

Immediately, Yang Wei rode his horse out of the neat military formation and headed towards the city gate.

Seeing someone coming out, Qiu Dahai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be fine if there were still things to talk about, but he was really afraid that the other party would suddenly attack the city.

The people of Qingfeng Village were all dressed in green, and all of them were lined up in an orderly manner in front of Yancheng.

The troops are in straight and neat formation, and the flags are flying in the sky. Anyone who takes a look can tell that these are definitely the best of the best!

The officers, soldiers and servants in the city knew with their toes that even with the protection of the city walls, they were no match for the enemy.

If we can delay until reinforcements arrive, and then attack from both sides, there might be a chance for the situation to turn around.

It would be best if the other party is willing to talk at this time.

While Qiu Dahai was thinking about it,

Yang Wei had already arrived at the moat on horseback, raised the iron loudspeaker in his hand and shouted to Qiu Dahai on the city wall,

"I am the head of the Loushan Hall in Qingfeng Village! Please ask County Magistrate Qiu to come forward and answer!"

Everyone on the city wall looked at Qiu Dahai almost at the same time.

Qiu Dahai bravely peeked out from the parapet, staring at Yang Wei in front of the moat and shouted,

"Master Loushan, I believe that your camp and I will not interfere with each other. Even if you passed by me in the past, I would never obstruct you!"

"Why did you suddenly raise this unjust army today to attack Yancheng?"

Listening to the other party's weak shouting, Qiu Dahai raised his loudspeaker and said loudly,

"County Magistrate Qiu is wrong!"

"Qingfeng Village has always prioritized benevolence and justice, and has always put the people first! This time, following the orders of the Peak Master, I have come to Yancheng to help all the suffering people in Yancheng, so that they can have food to eat and clothes to wear!"

After saying that, Yang Wei looked at the officers and soldiers who were still guarding the city on the wall.

"Brother officers and soldiers on the city wall, perhaps you don't know yet?"

"The people of Yangzhou's two states and six counties are now living a good life! Our Peak Master has exempted them from all the harsh taxes they used to have to bear, and everyone has been allocated more than three mu of high-quality farmland!"

"We from Qingfeng Village have come to Yancheng today to distribute the land of Yancheng to all the people of Yancheng!"
