Chapter 557: The Destruction of One Hundred Thousand Horses
Xu Xuan became Ye Hua's prisoner, and he was in great pain now. This kind of pain was not something that the Great Zhou neglected him. In fact, Ye Hua ordered the soldiers to take good care of Mr. Xu, eat well, live well, and not neglect at all.
Of course, with Ye Hua's nature, he would not raise pigs in vain. Therefore, every day Ye Hua would send a thick stack of news, mainly based on the changes in Jinling City, and even some secret information was not hidden from Xu Xuan.
And Xu Xuan's pain comes from this information!
He was very concerned about the success or failure of Jinling. After all, the fate of the Tang Dynasty depends on two places, one is Jinling and the other is Yangzhou, and there is no sloppy at all.
Xu Xuan hoped that Li Hongji could show his might and defeat Guo Rong, and also hoped that the people in the city could unite and protect Jinling.
As the saying goes, the country is in trouble to show loyal ministers, you cannot let down Your Majesty’s kindness!
Every time Xu Xuan reads the information, he tries to find a little flash, but every time he finishes reading it, he sighs and is furious. Recently, he has become even more annoying. He can't even finish it in one breath. Whenever he sees it a little, he gets furious!
Zhu Lingyun worked tirelessly and went south from Jiangzhou to rescue him. Xu Xuan was happy, but when he looked down, he exploded and refused to let the soldiers enter the city. He also forced Zhu Lingyun to attack Zhongshan and fight against Zhou Bing.
What a joke, the people and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty are fierce, and Ye Hua is all top-notch in training and fighting.
Zhu Lingyun was exhausted when he was fighting with Ye Hua at this time. Isn’t he brain ill?
But the people in the city did it!
Are they confused?
Maybe some are confused, but some are doing it intentionally!
Just under various information, there was also a handwritten letter from Feng Yanji to Ye Hua.
In the letter, Mr. Feng told Ye Hua that they had taken Chen Qiao hostage and were speeding up their pace and could soon control the entire Jiangning. As for Zhu Lingyun, they had already asked the people below to replace military rations with moldy and rotten millet, and also selected broken goods for weapons and armor.
Please rest assured that the champion Hou, Zhu Lingyun had no chance to use the food and wage weapons in the city to hurt a hair from the Great Zhou people!
Finally, he also said that he would provide information in a timely manner. If there is anything he wants to do, he will do his best and please rest assured...
"Shameless!"
Xu Xuan held back his vomiting. After reading this letter, he just wanted to ask, is there any word "shame" in this world?
Feng Yanji, you are a veteran of the Three Dynasties in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Your glory, wealth and glory are all given by the Li family. Are you just repaying the Li family like this?
The rewards from these decades, let alone giving them to a person, even if they are given to a dog, can still shake their tails!
It’s really rare and rare to betray the owner!
Xu Xuan rushed out of the military tent as if he was crazy.
The soldiers guarding him immediately stopped him.
"Sir Xu, you are not allowed to go without the orders of the Marquis!"
"You guys go away!" Xu Xuan blushed his eyes and pushed hard, trying to rush out, but how could he, a weak little old man, push a few young men away?
He was held tightly.
While his face was pressed against the ground, Xu Xuan burst into tears, and his nose and tears flowed out. His hands kept scratching the ground, his fingers were worn out, and there were spots on the ground, all of which were blood!
What Xu Xuan felt most distressed now is the 100,000 soldiers. You are loyal and were killed by villains in order to rescue Jinling. The people often say that good people do not live long and will be harmed for thousands of years!
In Jinling City, all the disasters are caused.
Even Chen Qiao is no exception!
As the prime minister, he is incompetent and has no decision at all, and is held hostage by a few old people. Are you still shameless?
Xu Xuan was angry and anxious, and his eyes turned dark and fainted.
When he woke up again, he found the lights dim. He lay on the bed. The wound on his hand was treated. There was an empty bowl next to the bed. He struggled to sit up and found that Ye Hua and Han Xizai were standing side by side at the door, looking out.
Hearing the movement, the two of them smiled and turned around.
"Sir Xu, you are knowledgeable and talented. Do you know what the Han army sang when they were in Jiuli Mountain in Gaixia and were surrounded by enemies?"
Xu Xuan didn't understand why, but it was obvious that Ye Hua saved him, and he treated his wounds and fed medicine. He didn't answer. Xu Xuan was a little late, and then said in a hoarse voice: "In late September, the frost in the fields is flying everywhere, the sky is high and the water is dry, and the cold geese are sad. The most bitter thing is to guard the border, and I am wandering day and night, wearing a strong and sharp edge, and I am isolated on the sand hill. I have been away from home for ten years, and my parents have left, so how can my wife be alone in the lonely house? Although there is a surplus field, who can keep it with him? Who can I taste the wine in the neighbor's neighbor's house? I lean on the white hair and look through the autumn water, and my child remembers it
Tears break the heart of the liver. The Hu horse is neighing and still knows that he loves the earth. He lives a long life and would rather forget his hometown. Once he fights the army and dies, his flesh and blood are mud, and his grass and morrows are weak. The soul is in vain and knows where to rely on, and his ambitions are scarce. I will pay for it. I will remember the retreat and leave Chu early to avoid death. I will not sing my songs. I will tell you that God will tell you. You know your destiny. The King of Han is virtuous and surrenders to the army and will not kill him. I will send you back and let you fly. Do not guard the empty camp. The food road has been cut off. Just the day I capture the feathers and the jade is injured."
Ye Hua slid his hands and laughed, "I heard the brothel girl sing a few times, but I just can't remember it. It's still a good memory for Mr. Xu!"
Xu Xuan rolled his eyes in anger. How could you compare me with the brothel girl?
He was so angry that he didn't speak, but Ye Hua smiled and said, "Han Zhongcheng, you and Xu Xueshi were both great talents. When they sang tragically, they moved the Chu soldiers with their hometown accent. If the Han army shouted at the Chu soldiers, as long as they put down their weapons and surrendered to the court, they could give land and divide the land and enjoy peace. Do you think the Chu soldiers would disperse?"
Xu Xuan curled his lips and sneered, "I am sad at the cold night, and ambushed from all sides, using Chu Song to defeat the enemy. How clever! If you call for dividing the land, it will be too vulgar!"
Xu Xuan raised his head and laughed proudly, "It can be seen that Ye Hua, your realm is still far from that of Han Xin and Zhang Liang. It was just that there was no hero that made you, a little man, run the world. Compared with the ancient sages, your methods are simply not worth mentioning."
Xu Xuan complained about Ye Hua a few words, as if he was happy, but he didn't have long been happy, and Han Shan hurried in and reported to Ye Hua.
"Qi Zhu, tonight, we will approach Zhu Lingyun and agree to let the villagers shout in turn. Hear them and hurry home, saying that the court has already divided the land for their families and that if they go back late, they will not be able to get the land."
Ye Hua nodded, "How effective?"
"Around 2,800 people have fled Zhu Lingyun's camp. We will continue to work hard to get more soldiers over!"
Ye Hua turned his head and smiled at Xu Xuan, "Sir Xu, no matter whether it is elegant or not, it is useful!"
"you!"
Xu Xuan was very surprised, and then he realized it.
It turned out that Ye Hua was following the example of the enemy who was surrounded by enemies and wanted to separate the morale of the Southern Tang Dynasty!
You boy is really bad!
Xu Xuan was so angry that he felt itchy about his teeth, but he thought again, it seemed that this was a good thing again. The big leaders in the city had rebelled. Even if these soldiers fought hard to fight to the death, what could they do?
It's just a bunch of corpses!
Instead of doing this, it is better to let them go home to plow the fields, and the whole family can live and work in peace and contentment, and save them from committing sins.
When Xu Xuan thought of this, he suddenly felt ashamed. He was a little afraid to look at Han Xizai.
When Han Xizai wrote a letter, suggesting that Li Hongji follow the Great Zhou and promote equalization of fields, but not only failed, but also was alienated... Now Han Xizai surrendered to the Great Zhou and became a celebrity in front of Guo Rong, but what about the Tang Dynasty? The country is not a country, this is retribution!
Xu Xuan's tears flowed down, "Wrong, Your Majesty is wrong, only the people will be content and happy. Those officials and gentry only want more and are greedy, which is the bottomless pit! If they are not satisfied with the situation, they will betray the court and find a new master! This is the character of the literati!"
Xu Xuan is like crazy about gain and loss. He has never hated his identity as a literati so much!
Although there are many admirable figures in the scholastic world, they are rare. Ninety percent of the literati are like the important ministers and officials in the city, ugly, not ordinary ugly...
"Ye Hua, thank you for being able to kill those beasts, I will die without regrets!"
Xu Xuan pulled his neck and shouted... At this time, Ye Hua had already left the tent with Han Xizai, and the two of them smiled knowingly. Now, even Xu Xuan no longer dreams and can save Jinling.
He has faced the reality!
Zhu Lingyun supervised the battle continuously, attacked Zhong Shan, and tried to repel Zhou's troops.
He sent tens of thousands of troops, like ants, to attack the defenders on the mountain. With the advantage of military strength, he will definitely win!
Although Zhu Lingyun’s idea is very beautiful, is Yang Ye a vegetarian?
Moreover, after the land was divided, Zhou Bing's morale was high, and the numerous bed crossbows were condescending and shooting intensively. Before he could reach Zhou Bing's eyes, more than 30% of them were killed or injured.
Zhu Lingyun was unwilling to fail and sent his most elite men to go right away. Three thousand soldiers, more than half of them were killed or injured in half a day.
I had no choice but to withdraw my troops temporarily. But when I was resting at night, there were shouts everywhere outside the military camp. The old man, the woman, the children, greet the soldiers, go home quickly, the court has divided the fields, and I can have enough food, so don’t work hard for the foolish monarch anymore...
Such shouts came one after another, and people were sent to chase them. The other party immediately fled. When they retreated, they followed them, which was like a dog-skin plaster.
Many exhausted soldiers pricked up their ears and listened, just like the voice of my father. It was the wife who was greeting me, kid, stop crying!
Those who hear the sound run out like crazy.
More than 2,000 people ran away on the first night. By the second night, due to the defeat, the morale became even lower. After running for 6,000 people, it doubled directly. If this trend continues, in a few days, there will be nothing left for 100,000 people!
He really underestimated the enemy, and Zhu Lingyun's scalp was numb.
"No, I can't fight anymore, I have to go back to Jinling!"
Order to the three armies and immediately decapitate the camp.
He wanted to run away, but how could Yang Ye let him go? He chased him up with his butt, and the people in charge of attacking the heart followed closely. Zhu Lingyun fought and retreated, and his men escaped faster.
Some people died in battle, but more because of the morale of the army was disintegrated and they were unwilling to fight.
When he retreated to the city of Jinling, Zhu Lingyun's men had barely more than 60,000 troops, losing a small half!
Not too miserable!
As long as you go to the city to repair, there will be still opportunities and opportunities!
"General Zhu, I'm sorry." The defenders on the city said to the breathless Zhu Lingyun: "There are orders above to let you camp five miles outside the city!"
Chapter completed!
