Ye Hua wanted to contain Li Hongji, let Chai Rong eat the 300,000 people in Jiangbei, and then cross the river to take Jinling, His Majesty the Emperor would have more face.

It's just that I didn't expect that Li Hongji actually took the initiative to go to Yangzhou to supervise the war!

You've got a bad brain, aren't you?

Leaving the old nest Jinling and running to the north of the river, isn't this looking for death?

Ye Hua is sure that Li Hongji is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger and will never return.

With such a big prey delivered to the door, Chai Rong should be satisfied, Ye Hua decided to immediately wave his troops and attack Nantang. In fact, during the period of training people, Ye Hua took advantage of the relationship between Su Shang and Su Shang to infiltrate the Southern Tang Dynasty, sent spies, bribed Neiying, and sent people over to promote the strategy of Juntian of the Great Zhou Dynasty and win the hearts of the people.

After this careful preparation, Ye Hua won a good start.

Yang Ye led his men and horses, with 200 bed crossbows, to break through the Southern Tang camp located in the northwest of Suzhou, defeated Yang Shu, the deputy capital of soldiers and horses, and captured Sun Zhen, the capital of soldiers and horses, more than 20,000 people were defeated, and more than 3,000 people were captured.

Yang Ye did not stop and waved his army to attack Jiangyin.

In the middle of the way, he met Li Wei, the commander of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who came to the rescue, and Yang Ye showed his might, leading the crowd to break through the Southern Tang Dynasty military horses, a golden knife, and looked at it.

Killed Li Wei's men and horses, and took advantage of the situation to attack Jiangyin.

In order to capture Jiangyin, Ren Tianxing also mobilized 300 warships, and since eating Wu Yue's sailors, the sailors of the Great Zhou Dynasty reached about one-third of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Coupled with the sharp weapon of the bed crossbow, Ren Tianxing is full of confidence.

He and Yang Ye attacked together with water and land, supervised the troops together, and attacked Jiangyin.

After three days of fierce fighting, Yang Ye's sappers blew open the gate of Jiangyin, and then Yang Ye entered the city, and Jiangyin fell into the hands of Da Zhou.

Ren Tianxing successfully received the Jiangyin Naval Division, large and small ships, as many as more than 500 ships, he was like taking a strong pill, and his strength has grown a lot.

The infantry fought continuously and needed to rest, but Ren Tianxing's sailor had just arrived.

Based in Jiangyin, he continued to swim upstream and attack Runzhou.

Runzhou is also known as Jingkou, isn't there a poem, called Jingkou Guazhou a water room, Guazhou belongs to the ferry under the rule of Yangzhou, two places and a water separation, since ancient times, Runzhou is the place where soldiers must fight.

The Southern Tang set up a town navy here.

Li Hongji went north from Runzhou and personally went to Yangzhou to supervise the war.

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor left, the men and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty were killed in Runzhou, if the Zhou soldiers cut off the route, His Majesty the Emperor would not become a kite with a broken line, this is still necessary!

The Divine Guard Army, the Marquis of Yu and Zhenhai Jiedu, made the needle bin exhaust all his strength and stick to Runzhou.

He seconded a group of warships from Jinling, selected warriors, and launched a counterattack against Ren Tianxing.

The Southern Tang also absorbed the experience of previous naval encounters, and they strengthened their ships against flowering bombs, and prepared sand and soil on their ships to deal with fire oil.

They also added ramming horns and prepared crossbows.

After some modifications, the sailors of the Southern Tang Dynasty finally did not have to be beaten passively.

Ren Tianxing tasted the bitter fruit of defeat, he lost thirty warships, and he was stung by an arrow in his arm. But this guy is a bandit, and he will never suffer.

Before he could heal from his wounds, he immediately mobilized his subordinates to counterattack, first sending small groups of ships to attract the Southern Tang Naval Division, and then concentrated his forces to besiege the opponent, severely damaging the Southern Tang Naval Division in one fell swoop, capturing more than 50 ships and killing thousands of enemy soldiers.

Ren Tianxing took advantage of the victory to pursue, but as a result, he encountered more Southern Tang ships and beat him back.

Obviously, both sides played with their lives.

Ren Tianxing was so angry that he jumped like thunder, but he couldn't break through quickly, after all, Li Hongji spent a lot of money to prepare the Yangtze River Sailor, which was extraordinary.

can kill equally, Ye Hua is already very satisfied.

He commanded the army and rushed to the front line of Jiangyin, and also joined Yang Ye.

After a few days of recuperation, Yang Ye regained his spirits.

"Master Hou, Lao Ren doesn't have the ability to take Runzhou, it depends on us! I will now go up the river and attack Runzhou. Yang Ye also plans to go hand in hand with Ren Tianxing again by land and water to capture Runzhou.

Ye Hua pondered for a moment and objected.

"The 50,000 people who attacked Suzhou before, including 20,000 elites, were transferred back to Runzhou by Li Hongji to defend because they were afraid that they would be robbed at the back. We can't go head-to-head with them now, it's enough to let Ren Tianxing entangle the Runzhou defenders. We have to take Changzhou first! Ye Hua said his plan.

Yang Ye didn't say a word, he absolutely obeyed the order.

"Master Hou, I'll lead the troops to attack now!"

"Don't be busy, wait three more days." Ye Hua smiled and said, "It's not time yet. ”

Yang Ye was eager to fight, but there was no way, he could only obey Ye Hua's orders, and said in his heart that he would wait, wait for three days, can he still be a divine soldier from the sky?

Yang Ye really guessed right.

In the past three days, from the direction of Xuancheng, Fu Zhaoxin came with 3,000 soldiers.

Due to the implementation of the policy of dividing the land, Da Zhou temporarily gained a firm foothold in Xuancheng, and Fu Zhaoxin had more than enough self-preservation, but he was not enterprising enough, and he had nothing to do if he stayed. They simply retreated to Taihu Lake first, and then transported it by boat, bypassing the important garrison of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and suddenly appeared south of Changzhou.

Don't look at Fu Zhaoxin's people, but the spiritual shock brought is incomparable.

To the north is Yang Ye's army, to the south is Fu Zhaoxin, and the small Changzhou has been surrounded by the Great Zhou, and the people in the city are in panic.

Unlike other places, the person in charge of guarding Changzhou is Pan Chengyou, the secretary of Honglu Temple, and it stands to reason that a civilian official can lead the troops?

Not to mention, Pan Chengyou is different from ordinary civil officials, he was an official in Wuyue in his early years, and served as a judicial officer in Gwangju to join the army, because he was an upright official and did not show favoritism, he offended his superiors, and with Wu Yue's virtue, he has always been inferior to the fittest. Pan Chengyou was dismissed and returned to his hometown.

Later, the Fujian Kingdom was destroyed by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Hongji heard about Pan Chengyou's reputation and appointed him as the secretary of Honglu Temple, and was also in charge of the affairs of Fujian.

Pan Chengyou was conscientious, well-governed, recruited young and strong, defeated pirates several times, and was stunned to train a very strong team.

This time the Great Zhou went south, and Li Hongji remembered Pan Chengyou and transferred him to Changzhou.

Under Pan Chengyou, there are many warriors who can fight and kill, including Xu Wenzhi, Chen Decheng, Zheng Yanhua, and Lin Renzhao and others, and among these people, Lin Renzhao is the most brave, known as Lin Huzi, burly, fierce personality, really like a tiger.

Pan Chengyou came with a strong man from Fujian on order, and his heart was warm, he really wanted to work for Li Hongji.

However, after he came, Chen Qiao, a servant of the door and a scholar of the Auxiliary Political University, arranged Pan Chengyou in Changzhou to defend Wu Yue on the grounds that Nanban had a violent temperament and did not accept Wang Hua, and did not transfer to the capital, nor did he send them to Yangzhou, in a word, he put them aside.

That's not all, because it is a guest army, all kinds of military supplies are not sufficient, the rice eaten is moldy, and military salaries are often deducted, and some big money is ten or hundred. Coupled with cold words, the big guys complained.

If I knew this, I wouldn't have come.

Fortunately, Pan Chengyou's prestige was very high, and when he came, he also prepared sufficient food and salary, so that his subordinates would not starve.

But the current battle situation, which changes three times a day, caught him off guard.

The Great Zhou has already obtained the land of Wuyue, and the two roads are in trouble, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is in danger.

According to reason, Suzhou should be attacked first, and this partial division should be defeated, and then it can be used to confront the emperor of the Great Zhou, which is the right thing to do. Pan Chengyou went to the book several times, but he sank into the sea, and no one paid attention to him at all.

"Envoy, let the last general say that there is no need to worry about the court at all." Xu Wenzhi said very politely.

Pan Chengyou's face was solemn, "Your Majesty treats me with the grace of reconstruction, not only appointing me as the secretary of Honglu Temple, but also granting the Qingyuan Army the post of envoy of the festival, one person bears the two positions of civil and military, but it is an unprecedented grace." As a courtier, he should do his best to assist the Holy Monarch. ”

He said righteously and strictly, but Xu Wenzhi shook his head, "Envoy, Rong Mo will say something excessive, it turns out that we are all courtiers of the Fujian State, and later the Fujian State was destroyed by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and now, the Great Zhou Dynasty has come to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty again...... The Buddhist scriptures say that this is called the cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant. If you want me to say, let's just watch the excitement, anyway, Nantang didn't take us seriously! ”

"Shut up!"

Pan Chengyou's face suddenly turned pale, and he was furious, "Xu Wenzhi, what are you talking about?" It is the duty of a minister to be faithful, and I advise you to take back what you just said, but the old man should not have heard it. From now on, you are not allowed to think like this, otherwise, the old man will never be polite! ”

Pan Chengyou turned his head, turned his back on his face, and no longer looked at Xu Wenzhi.

Xu Wenzhi nodded, he got up and went to the door, but he didn't leave, at this time, three more people walked in from the outside, Chen Decheng and Zheng Yanhua, among them, there was an old man in the crowd, it was none other than Han Xizai!

"Hahaha, old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you won't invite me to sit down?"

When Pan Chengyou saw Han Xizai, his eyes suddenly widened with anger, "Thief of betraying the master, why do you have the face to see me?" ”

Han Xizai laughed, "Brother, have you forgotten that you were once Wu Yue's courtier!" ”

Pan Chengyou's old face turned red, "Hmph, Lord Wu Yue, if you don't listen to the advice, the traitor is in the way, the old man has no choice!" ”

Han Xizai smiled: "You are so, why am I not!" Why, if you are only allowed to take refuge in Mingjun, I will not be allowed to take refuge in the heroic lord? ”

Pan Chengyou was speechless for a while, he gritted his teeth, "Han Xizai, you can be eloquent, I can't talk about you." In the original friendship between us, I can let you go once. But please remember, we are enemies of the two countries, and the next time we meet, the old man will not be polite! ”

He waved his sleeves, "Sending off!" ”

Han Xizai listened patiently, instead of leaving, he picked up the teacup with a smile and took a sip, "It's Tieguanyin, good tea!" ”

Putting down the teacup, Han Xizai smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you ask, how did I get into the city!" ＂

Pan Chengyou was shocked, and at this time, Xu Wenzhi, Chen Decheng, and Zheng Yanhua stood behind Han Xizai together.

"Envoy, we have already decided to take refuge in the Great Zhou, and please please obey the mandate of heaven and don't be obsessed!"

His subordinates actually surrendered, Pan Chengyou was shocked, "You, you dare to turn your back on Your Majesty?" ”

Han Xizai said with a smile: "Brother Pan, wake up!" Nantang is going to be finished! ”
