Duan Mingyu was willing to speak with sincerity. It was better to be the commander of the three armies when he was arrogant. Yang Xingmi was very moved when he heard this. However, Tao Ya had not come back at that time. He hoped that Tian Lingzi could agree to his conditions for resigning and abdicating and keeping the country. He still held a glimmer of hope, so he politely refused.

When Duan Mingyu came for the second time, the Tang army fought on the outside of the outside. The Tang army on the northern front successively occupied Yuanzhou, Baiaozhou, Jiangyin and other prefectures. The Eastern Army also successively eliminated the Wu army that went to aid and conquered Changzhou. The troops of Song Wentong defeated more than 10,000 Wu troops in Jiangzhou and captured 500 warships.

In this case, if Yang Xingmi knew the current affairs, surrendered his troops as soon as possible, and surrendered from the city. He also failed beautifully. Or he might just gather the three armies and fight to the death with the Tang army. Then the king of the country was considered to be vigorous. However, Yang Xingmi neither fought nor had a good fight. He was still a cliché. He delayed the time and issued secret orders in secret, urging the Hukou defenders to Yangzhou to rescue the siege. He made the final struggle.

However, the 100,000 troops at Hukou were instantly destroyed.

The Hukou general Yang Min sent an army of 100,000, claiming to be 150,000. He carried the army north with giant ships and rafts, intending to break the quarry cushion bridge and rush straight to the city of Yangzhou. They met the troops of the Tang army navy Yang Fugong at Wankou.

A war between the two sides began immediately. Because the Yangtze River was shallow in winter and the water surface was not wide, Yang Min's army could only form a long dragon that stretched for more than ten miles. Although it had the advantage of the number of people, it was difficult to perform. At that time, the southeast wind was blowing. Yang Min made a quick decision and immediately called out to withdraw his troops. He poured countless turbulent oil into the river. He lit a fire and burned the sky. In an instant, he swallowed more than 8,000 vanguards of Tian Lingzi's army and hundreds of warships were swallowed up. Unexpectedly, even God came to tease Wu. As soon as the fire broke out, the wind direction suddenly changed. The southeast wind turned into the northwest wind. The fire burned to himself. Yang Min's warship, giant rafts, congested the entire river channel and wanted to move, but there was no room for it. The fire was together. One ship and one ship to burn. The surface of the Yangtze River, which was more than ten miles long, suddenly turned into a fire Great Wall.

The Tang general Song Wentong on the opposite side was stunned. At this moment, the Right Army general Wang Yanzhang rushed over to hear the news and guarded the two sides of the Yangtze River. But someone dived and went ashore. He was chopped back to the Yangtze River. Yang Min had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. In his heart, he pointed at the sky and scolded the earth and scolded the unfairness of heaven and earth. Then he pushed the general away and committed suicide by throwing himself into the fire.

The only strong support in Yangzhou collapsed. When Yang Xingmi heard the news, he was really burned inside. Duan Mingyu also followed the envoys to the city to persuade him to surrender for the third time. This time, Duan Mingyu brought the latest battle report of the Tang army. Wang Yanzhang led the army to travel dozens of miles to defeat the Wu army in Runzhou for 5,000. Liu, the garrison general of Runzhou, opened the city to surrender. The last outer gateway of Yangzhou was blocked. Yangzhou has become an isolated city.

Yang Xingmi was depressed and desperate. He only agreed to surrender. He was willing to go to Chang'an first. After discussing the details of the surrender, he offered soil to surrender. But that night, he summoned five thousand death-death men to attack the Tang camp at night, fantasizing about using a surprise attack to turn the situation around the war.

Unfortunately, with the efforts of the generals, the attack location he chose was right. It was geographically the most suitable for night attacks in the North City Tang Camp. However, his generals could see that this place was the most suitable for night attacks. How could Tian Lingzi, who had been fighting for a lifetime, not be able to see? Tian Lingzi had already personally ordered the generals to strictly guard against the North City. The army of Tang Camp in the North City had been waiting for it.

Fighting hard overnight, none of the five thousand death-death men in Wu State were willing to retreat. They were wiped out by the Tang army. When cleaning the battlefield in the early morning, many general-level talismans appeared from many corpses. This suicide squad was an elite soldier in the Wu State's defenders. Among them, there were many generals and schoolmen who personally acted as suicide squads. They were all ruined here. The grassroots backbone forces in the Wu Army were already lost in one battle.

This also angered Tian Lingzi. He ordered Duan Mingyu to enter Jinling City four times. This time, it brought not the conditions to persuade Yang Xingmi to surrender and negotiate peace. It was a letter of war from Tian Lingzi. The time was tonight and the place was in Yangzhou. There was no room for maneuver.

That night, the Tang army attacked the city. The rocks were like rain and arrows were like clouds. Countless ladders, flying hooks, throwing cars, rushing cars, Xuan cars and Gan roll cars used the wide Yangzhou city wall as the battlefield. Most of the experienced middle and lower-level officers in the city died in the sneak attack last night. Now many officers who had just been promoted were hurriedly arrested and entered the army. The White Armored Army, who didn't know how to shoot the bow and use arrows, ran in panic at the head of Yangzhou city.

Although the city is dangerous, strong troops still need to defend it. How can such an army defend the dangerous city of Yangzhou?

At this moment, the shouts were so close that the Tang army was about to reach the palace wall.

Yang Xing stood up in a daze and walked out slowly. The hall was too cold. He was wearing a thicker body. His body, which was a little fat, seemed even more swollen. The bright yellow dragon robe covered outside could not add a little bit of energy to him.

Your Highness gathered many dancers, palace maids, and eunuchs. They all looked pale. Some people couldn't help but be afraid of being crying. Yang Xingmi stopped and was silent for a while. He said to them: "The city cannot be saved."

As soon as this was said, the palace ladies all cried and bowed to the ground, and cried loudly. Yang Xingmi forced himself to be energetic and said with tears in his eyes: "You don't have to stay in the palace and die with me. The music and dance actors in the workshop are the heroes of Jiangnan for decades. It is difficult to gather together. You are only twenty years old. Please hide in a secluded place. No matter whether Yang or Li is surnamed in Yangzhou, you will always be indispensable in the court. Alas, I will send an order. Open all the palace gates and let the property in the palace be used. Go. Go. You all go. Just do it yourself."

The monks and musicians, the eunuchs of the palace, cried and thanked Yang Xingmi. They fled in panic.

After a moment, another group of people rushed over in panic. There were dozens of people. Yang Xingmi thought that the musicians and dancers were returning and willing to live and die with him. He was moved. He looked closely and saw that there were some civil and military officials. It seemed that their official positions were not very high. Many of them were not very familiar with them. But in the face of the country, these loyal and kind people came to protect their hosts. Compared to his confidant, Liu Yu, the commander of Runzhou who surrendered to the Tang army, he was so commendable. Yang Xingmi's eyes couldn't help but wet.

"My dear friends." Yang Xingmi called out tremblingly. Two lines of hot tears rolled down her cheeks.

"The great king, the situation is gone. I risk my life to come and ask the king to change his civilian clothes and bring all the treasures. I am willing to protect the king from escorting the people to escape. The 19 states in the south of the Yangtze River have not yet fallen into the hands of the Tang people. If the opportunity is obtained, the king may not be able to make a comeback."

Yang Xingmi looked carefully. Just this official looked familiar. He seemed to be a hall official in Honglu Temple. He was still from his own family and his surname was Yang.
