Chapter 553

Yang Ye has fought many wars, but this time, he was a monk who was confused and was simply confused. Speaking of which, the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were indeed vegetables, but at least there were more than 100,000 people around Jinling. Even if each person spitted one mouthful, he could catch a flood and flood the Zhou soldiers.

However, they didn't want to resist, but they always did some strange things.

For example, when Yang Ye was in charge of the attack, the people inside kept firing arrows and throwing stones, but they didn't even care about aiming. It seemed that they were frightened. The hasty reaction was not threatening at all, and they only added jokes. Yang Ye even wanted to attack the city directly, and maybe they could even break in.

But after Yang Ye retreated, many people would come out in the city one after another. They would dress up as ordinary people and go to trade with Dazhou. Salt, raw silk, and tea, all of them like. Even firewood was needed by people. There were millions of people in the city, and there were too many supplies consumed.

As for the city, most of the coins and best silk they can take out.

It’s true that the silk workshop that Li Hongji worked hard to build is now doing its best, and the work started day and night, and the production efficiency is much higher than usual, as if it has entered a wartime system. Unfortunately, this abnormal wartime system has no value to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

On the contrary, in every transaction, someone brings out the news from the city, and occasionally people from the Great Zhou will sneak into the city and become insiders.

The initial transaction was conducted at night, but the people in the city were getting braver and before dusk, someone came out.

On the one hand, he fears the enemy and does not fight. He is a turtle who shrinks his head, but on the other hand, he does not have his head and smuggles freely.

Yang Ye felt that the people in the city were probably confused, and it was really not easy for the lunatics who had gathered together.

"Mr. Marquis, what should you do! I have no idea anyway." Yang Ye spread his hands, and faced with such an evil situation, he really couldn't see through it without some IQ.

Ye Hua was very relaxed and smiled: "As a general, you can't just know how to fight, but you have to know how to look at people's hearts. I ask you, can you compete with the power of the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

Yang Ye spat and said disdainfully: "It is impossible. The Central Plains are strong and the horses are strong. The late emperor and the current saints work hard to govern, and the country is completely renewed. Although Li Hongji also carried out reforms, he was constrained everywhere and had limited results. Instead, it caused constant party struggles in the country, fighting each other, and unable to unite. How can he fight against the great Zhou army!"

"That's right. Since you can't win, what should you do?"

Yang Ye scratched his head, "Is it surrender? Why didn't he see them open the door?"

Ye Hua laughed, "It's not time to surrender, but the literati are always a little reserved. However, it is destined to be a drastic change. At this time, it's better to have more money than to have less money. Even if something really happens, you can buy your life back. Do you think so?"

"ah!"

Yang Ye was so amused that he was so amazed that this was what a way of thinking. But then he thought about it, this was the only reasonable explanation, otherwise how would he explain that the people in the city were going crazy?

However, Yang Ye really couldn't accept it, and he even felt a little sympathetic to Li Hongji.

This emperor is really good to the great families. He gives them so many benefits and conveniences, and he also values ​​scholars, exempts taxes and taxes, and treats them with kindness.

If you can do everything, why don’t these people know how grateful they are? How come they are not heartless?

Ye Hua shook his head. The so-called interest group is a group of insatiable people who can only suppress them and try to buy them with grace. That is a dream!

Look, Li Hongji has done so much, and some people still feel that it is not enough!

Ye Hua said: "General Yang, you and Fu Zhaoxin supervise the troops to attack the city in batches. Remember, you should leave gaps and urge Suzhou to provide more goods and make the business bigger and bigger."

After Ye Hua gave the order, he left the account and looked at the majestic Jinling City. The plotting of Jinling with 30,000 people is like a snake swallowing a giant elephant, which is a foolish dream.

But at this moment, Ye Hua was full of confidence and didn't even have any doubts. He was very sure that the people in the city were rapidly differentiating and each had different plans. It won't be long before such a city would be destroyed in the hands of his own people!

Ye Hua thought for a while and turned back to the commander's tent to rest. Before he could lie down, someone came to report, "Report to the Marquis, someone in the city is coming to surrender!"

"really!"

Ye Hua looked happy, "Bring it in!"

Soon, a man in green clothes and hat came in from outside. He entered the tent of the coach and knelt down at the door, saying, "The villain is Feng Yanji and Feng Xianggong. He has given the order of his master. I will come to pay homage to the marquis!"

Ye Hua's eyes rolled. He heard Han Xizai say that Feng Yanji was Song Qiqiu's best friend. When Han Xizai was in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was bullied by these two people, which made a very miserable mistake.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yanji's people came to deliver the letter.

Ye Hua smiled slightly, "It turns out that it is Xianggong Feng. He is respected and kind, and is a person I admire very much. However, it is a pity that he cannot serve the two countries and cannot be sanctioned in the same palace."

When he heard Ye Hua praise Feng Yanji, the servant was happy and kowtowed, "The Marquis is too good, and my master also admires the Marquis deeply, calling him a hero of the world and the leader of the young." The guy said a few more good words, then curled his smile and said solemnly: "Marquis, the villain sneaked out of Jinling. There are two things to report to the Marquis."

"What two things?"

"First, Chen Qiao sent the Censor Zhang Qi to Jiangzhou to move troops. It is estimated that the 100,000 troops will soon go down the river to rescue Jinling!"

After the servant finished speaking, he looked at Ye Hua in hopes of seeing a clue.

But Ye Huayun was calm and gentle. He just said oh, but he didn't continue to say anything, and he didn't even take the initiative to ask about the second thing.

This servant was panicked. Could it be that Da Zhou already knew? This champion Hou is really smart!

He became even more frightened and hurriedly said, "Mr. Marquis, there is another thing. Master, uh no, it is Li Hongji. He sent Xu Xuan to bring the Emperor's Sword to Jinling from Yangzhou to take over the power, and he will arrive in the city soon!"

Xu Xuan is back?

Ye Hua couldn't help but stand up, turned around twice, and asked again: "Is this matter true?"

"It's absolutely true! And according to the news my master received, Xu Xuan should have entered the water camp from the Qinhuai River, then returned to Jinling to replace Chen Qiao."

Even there was a route, Ye Hua's eyes lit up.

Xu Xuan!

When he was on a mission to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was filled with wine. Among the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was quite loyal and had some skills. If Li Hongji had kept him directly guarding Jinling, he might not have been like this.

But since you are leaving, don't come back and cause trouble.

Ye Hua thought about it for a long time and had an idea.

He took out three ivory cards from his arms and handed them to his servants.

"It is really rare for Mr. Feng to follow the will of heaven. I asked the emperor for this ivory card and handed it to your master. When the army enters the city, you can keep your master safe and sound. As for the remaining two cards, whoever Mr. Feng is willing to hand them over, it will be my thank you gift. Please accept it!"

When the servant heard this, his hands and feet trembled excitedly. These were not three ivory cards, but they were clearly three life-saving talismans!

Feng Yanji betrayed Nan Tang regardless of his old face, wasn’t it just to save his life? The Marquis was really good! The servants were so grateful that they kowtowed and left.

As soon as he left, Han Xizai walked in from the back of the tent. His face was as cold as frosty and snow, and the flesh on his cheeks kept shaking.

"Hmph! Shameless!"

Han Xizai stepped in front of Ye Hua and said angrily: "Mr. Marquis, do you know? When I was in Jinling, Song Qiqiu, Feng Yanji, and their minions all said that I was a northerner and could not be trusted. Only their literati from Jiangnan would be loyal to the Southern Tang Dynasty! Bullshit! All are bullshits! They are shameless traitors and shameless beasts!"

Han Xizai scolded him so hard that Ye Hua couldn't say anything, so he could only add some charcoal to the stove, reheat a pot of water, and pour a cup of tea for Han Xizai.

"Drink some first, and you have to reminisce about the old friends when you look back!"

"Old friend? Who?" Han Xizai was so angry that she was confused and her mind was in a bad state.

Ye Hua chuckled and said, "Who else can it be? Xu Xuan!"

"Ah!" Han Xizai slapped his forehead, suddenly realized, and then became happy, "It's wonderful, it's amazing! Xu Xuan was sent back by Li Hongji to save the scene. If he was captured, wouldn't there be no leader in the city and be in chaos!" Han Xizai was still a little confused, "Marty, I'm a little worried, it may not be so smooth. If it can't be caught, Xu Xuan will enter the city, but he will be a big enemy!"

"Hahaha!"

Ye Hua smiled, "Grandpa Han, why do you think Li Hongji sent Xu Xuan back? Why did Feng Yanji deliver us a letter?"

Han Xizai was so smart. After thinking for a while, he immediately understood.

Li Hongji was obviously disappointed with the officials in Jinling. He gave Xu Xuan the sword to let him come back and kill people!

These people in the city would not surrender. If they didn't want to die, they could not let Xu Xuan enter the city, so they gave him to Dazhou...

"What you said just now is right. Whether it is Song Qiqiu, Feng Yanji, or his gangsters, they are all local snakes, and Xu Xuan can't escape! When you live to the death, the explosive power of the villain is always amazing."

Although Han Xizai was angry, he had to admit that what Ye Hua said made sense.

"As the marquis said, that would be great. I'm waiting for news in the marquis' military tent."

"Okay!"

Ye Hua made a few quails and a jar of old wine. He and Han Xizai were roasting quails and chatting, and they were so happy. When it was almost the third day, suddenly there was a sound outside and Fu Zhaoxin broke in.

"Hehe, stop roasting quails, I'm sending you big fish!"

A soldier ran in with a macao bag, opened it, revealing an old man wearing a short beating. The old man had specially trimmed his beard, leaving only one inch left, and his face was covered with black and gray, making him look very embarrassed.

But even so, how could he avoid Han Xizai's eyes?
