"Mr. Shen has been to Nantang, he is familiar with the situation, if there is any clever plan, just say it!"

Shen Yilun was very humble and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say any clever ideas, I just follow the method of the Hou Ye and have some ideas...... The subordinates thought that the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty was now clearly divided into two parties, the north and the south, and the death of Huang Fuhui just poked the weakness of the northern scholars, and the Hou Ye could make a big fuss by taking advantage of the lack of salt. ”

Ye Hua frowned slightly, that's what he planned, isn't this Shen Yilun talking nonsense?

"Master Hou, the subordinates mean to spread the news among the people, it is Li Jingsui and Li Jingda and others who hoard Juqi and kill the people, but against the court, they can attack the northern friends!"

Ye Hua took a breath, he thought about it for a while, and understood the viciousness of Shen Yilun's method!

It stands to reason that it is the southern group that really has the ability to hoard and live in strangeness, that is, the local faction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, these people occupy a key position and win the trust of Li Jing, calling for wind and rain, and doing whatever they want.

And the group of scholars in the north has been marginalized, and they are powerless if they have the heart.

From the point of view of balancing the two factions, it is reasonable to make a ball for these people in the north and let them fight the southern group, and Ye Hua makes that list, which is also the idea.

But Shen Yilun was ingenious, he suggested that he continue to attack the people in the north, the northern scholars were already marginalized, and they were repeatedly subjected to black hands, can they stand it?

Shen Yilun just let them down completely, forcing them to abandon the Southern Tang Dynasty and turn to Da Zhou instead!

It's just that there are no masters in the Southern Tang Dynasty?

Shen Yilun smiled, "Master Hou, the momentum of the people has been created, Sun Sheng and others will definitely speak for the northern scholars, when they point the finger at the southern scholars, at this time, we will stuff the evidence of smuggling into the hands of the southern officials, annoyed and angry, will we still show mercy?" ”

"Mr. Shen is clever, we are openly helping the north, secretly helping the south, using salt as a weapon, letting them eat the dog's hair, waiting for Da Zhou to clean up the mess!" Ye Hua said with a smile: "Mr. Shen is really not simple, just with this clever plan, your ability is not under Wei Renpu!" ”

Shen Yilun hurriedly waved his hand, he was a small official, where could he compare to the favored minister of the Son of Heaven.

Ye Hua didn't see it that way, more than a year ago, when Wei Renpu was in Guo Weiba's Mansion (the government office before he achieved hegemony), his status was not as good as Shen Yilun's!

In just over a year, he has risen to the top of the three phases.

In this era, nothing is impossible, the key is to follow the right people!

Ye Hua suddenly remembered a person, that was a member of Zhao Daba's Mansion, ranked after Zhao Pu, and also became the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, who seemed to be called Shen Lun...... Shen Lun? Shen Yilun?

Wouldn't they be alone?

The names of officials are not set in stone, for example, after Guo Wei succeeded to the throne, Guo Chongwei changed his name to Guo Chong. Zhao Er's original name was Zhao Kuangyi, but after his brother became emperor, he changed to Zhao Guangyi.

And after Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, as a minister, the word "righteousness" in his name, of course, must be avoided, Shen Yilun, Shen Lun!

It should be him!

Ye Hua scratched his head, Zhao Pu had been his subordinate, and now there is another Shen Yilun, didn't God tell him to take Zhao Da's path, right?

Ye Hua shook his head hard, he hadn't really planned it yet...... But then again, it's still useful to make good connections. Ye Hua immediately wrote a letter of recommendation and asked Shen Yilun to take it to meet Wei Renpu and explain his plan carefully, with Lao Wei's bad water, he can definitely do it seamlessly.

And they have long since re-attacked the idea of Nantang. Absolutely unfamiliar.

Ye Hua sent Shen Yilun away, and then continued to lead the hussar guards, galloping through the land of Huainan, reaching as far as Taizhou. Ye Hua's way, mainly destruction, especially for the coastal salt industry, did not leave any behind, give 10,000 stones to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he will destroy 100,000 stones, 1 million stones!

In Ye Hua's dictionary, there is no loss!

The Southern Tang side was so angry that the emperor's brother Li Jing sent men and horses to pursue, wanting to get rid of the hussars. But he ignored that the hussar guards were each equipped with three war horses, and they came and went like the wind, which was not something that the Southern Tang infantry could catch up.

By the time they chased after them, Ye Hua had already fled, and if it was a small force, he would be eaten.

In just a few days, Ye Hua experienced the oppression of the nomadic people on the farming people!

There are no war horses, desperately wearing armor, equipped with crossbow arrows, using the strength of milk, and the frontal hard fight will not suffer a loss in the end, sorry, the cavalry ran away, they don't fight with you!

They will just hide far away, wait for you to be tired and can't stand it anymore, and then suddenly kill and give you a fatal blow!

In a word, there is no speed without a war horse, and without speed, it will only be slaughtered by others!

Martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken!

After Ye Hua thought about it repeatedly, when this battle was over, no matter how difficult it was, he had to establish his own horse farm and raise enough war horses in order to be truly invincible!

Back in Chuzhou, it has reached the weather of Layue.

Although the two Huai are warmer than the Central Plains, the cold wind is still cold. Especially catching up with the rainy weather, it is absolutely torturous.

During these days, the Great Zhou did not continue to expand the gains of the war, but focused on strengthening the walls of Chuzhou.

Fortunately, with the cement invented by Ye Hua, Zhou Bing was able to quickly fill the damage to the city wall, strengthen the female wall, and add urn city to the city. From the outside, it is still the same Chuzhou, but in fact it is very different.

Guo Wei wore an ordinary military uniform, wrapped in a thick leather jacket, and walked in the city, no different from an ordinary general.

He specially picked up the city wall and walked, carefully staring at each place, thinking in his heart as he walked, in the past, he always fought in the north, and the biggest difference between the city in the north and the south is the drainage system, and the city wall in the south has more ditches, open ditches, and dark ditches, all in order to drain the water.

Now in winter, the water level drops, and soon the ditches are exposed.

If the Southern Tang soldiers entered the city from these places, it would be troublesome.

"Spread the will, what ditches, dark holes, must be blocked, it is best to fill it, if it can't be filled, it must be arranged to manpower, patrol day and night, sloppy!"

The soldiers around him hurried down to deliver the message.

Guo Wei walked for a while, and he found that there was a small soldier in the corner who was napping with his hands withdrawn, and it seemed that he would not be more than 17 years old at most, and he was so cold that his nose was clear.

Guo Wei took out a gourd from his arms, which contained spirits, and he walked up and stabbed the little soldier.

"Drink, warm up."

The little soldier was dazed, and he really took a sip of it, and the strong smell of wine choked him and coughed constantly. The little soldier was reluctant to put it down, he poured another mouthful, and from his throat to his appetite, a warm current surged up, and it was no longer cold......

"Be on an errand, don't be sloppy!"

Guo Wei continued to walk forward, and he told the people around him to prepare more hats, don't underestimate the winter in Huainan, which will also freeze to death!

Along the way, Guo Wei was like an old-timer, reminding the soldiers of the matters to pay attention to. He would give the soldiers a drink, and he would also have a family relationship with the veterans.

Guo Wei told them that if you marry a wife, don't be too beautiful, just be honest and capable, fight outside all the year round, leave your hometown, and have a daughter-in-law with bad character must not be wanted!

The veterans thought so, Guo Wei patted his buttocks, and continued to check, he would blow his nose with his fingers like an ordinary soldier, stand in the corner, and pee together...... With him, the soldiers did not feel the slightest burden.

Even if it is replaced by any general, everyone does not have this ability, but Guo Wei has done it, he is like an ordinary veteran, shuttling through the army to observe, from the city defense and vigilance, to the morale of the army, to the food and materials, weapons and combat preparation...... Be the best at everything.

Ye Hua came back, he accompanied Guo Wei to walk half of the city, the two of them peed in the corner, Guo Wei also said, "Use soldiers in winter, remind the big guys, before going out, don't drink too much water, don't drink soup, otherwise it will be too late to pee, and the urine bubble will be suffocated, which is not a trivial matter!"

Guo Wei saw Ye Hua laughing, and his old face sank, "Do you think my brain is broken?" Old confused? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Ye Hua waved his hand again and again, "Your Majesty's words are all good words, and the minister keeps them in mind." ”

"Just remember! From the age of 16 to the battlefield, for more than 30 years, it has always been the cautious people who have won, and the impatient and reckless people have been defeated. When you command the troops in the future, you must also remember that you can take a long-term view, but the road is taken step by step! Do you understand? ”

Ye Hua could hear that this was a reminder from a battlefield veteran to him, and said more and more seriously: "Your Majesty's teachings, the minister remembers!" ”

The two monarchs and ministers turned to the station, and as soon as they sat down by the fire, Wei Renpu came, he suppressed his excitement, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I just got a secret report, the Southern Tang Dynasty has concentrated the three-way army and came directly to Chuzhou!" ”

After Guo Wei heard this, he didn't hear it, but continued to bake the fire, and when it was warm, Guo Wei smiled and smiled brightly, "Master Wei, Ye Qing, you have used so many tricks and put so much effort into it, I'm afraid you just wait for this moment!" ”

Ye Hua said confidently: "Nantang is in a hurry to send troops, impatient and rash, they will definitely be defeated!" ”

Guo Wei said: "I learn very quickly, but let's not be careless." Let's go and talk to me about it and see how we can deal with it! ”
