Of the four generals, three rebelled, and Pan Chengyou was also sad enough.

Han Xizai said with a smile: "Brother Pan, seven years ago, the first emperor sent you to quell the thieves, but because the war was unfavorable, you had to punish the crime, and the old man helped you deal with it. ”

Pan Chengyou gritted his teeth, "Is that the time when these three beasts took refuge in Han Xianggong?" ”

"Nope!"

Han Xizai shook his head, "Brother, even now, they haven't taken refuge in the old man!" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Pan Chengyou was furious, and he couldn't wait to immediately order that all these traitors should be slaughtered, and it would be good to dismantle them.

But Han Xizai's old god was there, and the other three people also smiled slightly.

Xu Wenzhi stood up again, and among the three of them, he could be regarded as a speaker.

"Envoy, we have followed you to Nantang for some years. Over the years, our brothers have fought and fought in battles, how many people have they lost, and how much compensation has the court given? Even the brothers traded their lives for the money they were experiencing, and to put it mildly, even the pirates were not as good! Can such a court last long? ”

"Champion Hou personally led the army to the south of the Yangtze River, Li Hongji is already at the end of the road, we must ask the brothers to find a way out, take them out of their hometowns, and can't let them all become foreign ghosts!"

"Nonsense! It's all nonsense! ”

Pan Chengyou didn't want to hear a word, Chen Decheng said in a sullen voice: "It's not nonsense, Da Zhou has already divided the fields, all the soldiers, one hundred acres!" There is no mistake, if Nantang can take out one million acres of land and distribute it to the brothers, let us work for the court There is nothing to say, if we can't take it out, we can't spoil the good things of the brothers! ”

Zheng Yanhua nodded, "That's it, we have so many lives, aren't we worth a little land?" ”

"You guys!"

Pan Chengyou pointed at a few people, his fingers trembled, and he sat down with his ass, so angry that he couldn't move.

The three of them were terrified in their hearts, and they said that they couldn't let the boss have an accident!

At this time, Han Xizai waved his hand at them, "Three generals, you go outside and guard, and let the old man talk to Brother Pan alone." ”

The three of them had no choice but to retreat and guard outside.

Only Han Hee-jae and Pan Seung-woo were left in the room.

Han Xizai took a deep breath, "Brother Pan, we used to be officials in the same dynasty, I know what you are, and you may know what I am." ”

Pan Chengyou snorted with his nose, rolled his eyes and said: "The thief who betrays the master, the bearded horseman, aren't you afraid that your life's reputation will be ruined and you will be infamous for a thousand years?" ”

Han Xizai nodded slightly, "Good scolding, of course I'm afraid, but this time I surrendered to Da Zhou and went to Kaifeng, and I was suddenly not afraid." Han Xizai suddenly sighed, "I went to pay respects to Taishi Feng's grave, and there was no inscription on the tomb of the old lady, only a bare stone stele, which was praised and degraded and left to future generations to comment." I sat in front of the grave of the Master for a day and a night, and I suddenly figured it out. ”

"Brother Pan, a person can't live just for fame, that's the greatest selfishness! This is the requirement of the sages, but in this world, there are too many people who say that the developed are not developed, and the poor are not poor, what should I do? ”

Han Xizai patted his chest, "I have been an official in Jiangnan for decades, and what I eat is the support of the people in Jiangnan, and people can't forget their roots!" I can't sit idly by and watch the people of Jiangnan suffer from the soldiers, I want to protect them! However, the Great Zhou Tianzi, the heart of the unification of the universe, no one can change it, what can I do? Bitter admonishment to the Son of Heaven, the noon gate of the corpse? Or hang up the crown and beg to go, and return to the forest spring? ”

Pan Chengyou said disdainfully: "No matter what you choose, you can get a good reputation, it's better than falling into infamy through the ages now!" ”

"Good reputation? Brother Pan, why do you still care about this? Han Xizai replied: "No matter if I die or I leave, no one is in the middle, tens of thousands of troops outside the city, tens of thousands of living beings in the city, and hundreds of millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River, what do you let them do?" Although Han values his own reputation, compared with thousands of people, Han's life and death are nothing. ”

Han Xizai said loudly: "This is what I figured out in front of the Taishi's grave, if Brother Pan feels unreasonable, he can naturally be loyal to the king, die for Li Hongji, and be a loyal minister." If you think it makes sense, please ask Brother Pan to help me and do something for the people of Jiangnan together. They are already too bitter, what does Brother Pan think! ”

"This ......"

Pan Chengyou's old face kept changing, his facial features gradually shrank, and he became an ugly old chrysanthemum, he held his head in pain and curled up in the chair.

Frankly speaking, he was able to regain reuse, and the salted fish turned over, it was Li Hongji's support, and this kindness of knowing was indelible.

Later, Li Hongji seized the throne and made a drastic move, and Pan Chengyou was also full of confidence for a while, thinking that there was hope for the Central Plains.

But gradually, Pan Chengyou found that things seemed to have changed, and the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty became more and more bitter, complaining, and even the soldiers had many complaints, and if they continued like this, they would shake the country's foundation.

However, others are soft-spoken, and there is no way to stop it, so they can only watch.

Now that Da Zhou is menacing, even his henchmen have to fall to Da Zhou, he has no skills to return to the sky, his kindness is real, but his mistakes are real.

"Why are you forcing the old man?" Pan Chengyou lamented, he even had the heart to die!

……

"Master Hou, the last general thought that you were waiting for General Fu, but I didn't expect to wait for Han Zhongcheng!" Yang Ye woke up like a dream.

Ye Hua shrugged his shoulders, "Pointing at Fu Zhaoxin to conquer the city, wouldn't my skull be broken!" ”

Yang Yehan said with a smile: "Don't say that, Master Hou, General Fu is still counted ......."

"Huh?" Ye Hua's business has improved, Yang Ye will not lie, he counted with his fingers, grandma's, there are too many people in the army who are stronger than Fu Zhaoxin, not to mention fingers, even the toes are not enough, what number is this?

When Yang Ye was worried, the city gate was opened, and Pan Chengyou, with a group of subordinates, came out to surrender with a white flag.

18,000 Fujian soldiers surrendered to the Great Zhou, Changzhou officially fell into the hands of Ye Hua, as long as Runzhou is taken again, Jinling is in front of you!

One step closer to the goal of unifying Jiangnan!

With such a big credit, anyone would be excited, right? Pan Chengyou thought of it, at least if it was him, he would never be indifferent, and the champion Hou in front of him, at most, was in his early twenties, how could he be so calm? Calmly scary?

Don't be shocked, can anyone really reach such a state?

Pan Chengyou became more and more curious, Ye Hua suddenly smiled, "Mr. Pan, I have no good life, not only today, but even the first emperor I have said, in this life, except for the champion Hou, I want nothing else!" ”

Pan Chengyou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and echoed: "Master Hou really understands it, and the old man admires it." ”

Ye Hua really doesn't have any more thoughts about the position of the official, a champion is enough!

He didn't think about sitting on the chair in the Jinluan Palace, someone wanted to ask, what did Ye Hua think? Is it possible to cross a scene, just eat and wait for death?

Of course not!

Ye Hua has greater ambitions, first of all, he wants to see the world go from chaos to rule, from fragmentation to unification, and create a prosperous era that surpasses the Han and Tang dynasties...... Then let the prosperous era be as long as possible, let the land be as vast as possible, from the agricultural society to the industrial age, it is best before he closes his eyes, all corners of the world are included in the territory of the Great Zhou, and it is best to realize upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones, then it is already very satisfying.

Outsiders don't know Ye Hua's thoughts, but when he sees through fame and fortune, he feels more and more that the champion Hou is unfathomable.

"Mr. Pan, you can return to the Great Zhou, congratulations. What do you think you're going to do next? Ye Hua asked, and Pan Chengyou was embarrassed: "The new people dare not speak falsely." ”

The old man was still reluctant to betray Nantang.

Ye Hua smiled, "It's me who is abrupt, can you please talk to Mr. Pan, why do you want to join Da Zhou, what do you want Da Zhou to do most?" ”

Pan Chengyou groaned: "Master Hou, the soldiers left their hometowns and fought hard in other places, of course, they miss their families and want their families to live a stable life. As for the second one...... Recently, the imperial court has stopped issuing military rations, except for His Majesty, uh no, it is the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, except for his Divine Guard Forbidden Army, the rest of the defenders in various places are converted into coins and let all localities purchase them on their own. ”

As he spoke, Pan Chengyou took out a few dangbai coins and put them in front of Ye Hua with a wry smile.

"Master Hou, this amount of money can't even feed a cat or a dog!" Pan Chengyou said: "I heard that the Bank of Suzhou has changed the ten major coins for the people, but I don't know about the money...... Can? ”

Ye Hua took the hundred dollars and looked at it again and again.

"Mr. Pan, Nantang uses this kind of money as a military salary, and still doesn't give you military rations?"

"It's not that we don't give it, it's just that some of them are half of the military rations, half of them are discounted, thirty percent of the military rations are discounted, and seventy percent of the money is discounted...... As for us, it's all big money. Pan Chengyou lowered his head.

Ye Hua rolled his eyelids, looked at Han Xizai, and said meaningfully: "I said Han Xianggong, as it is, Li Hongji has a way to take death!" ”

Han Xizai shook his head again and again, Li Hongji's ungrounded mistake was committed again.

"Master Hou, according to that, we can recruit the garrisons of the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Ye Hua said happily: "Let's start from around Jinling!" ”
