Referring to this letter, Yang Ye was very excited, and he told Ye Hua that whenever the battle was the most difficult, he would tell his soldiers that the letter of the champion Hou was there, and the trick to save everyone was in it.

Champion Hou said that he could not read the content of the letter until the most critical moment.

His Majesty's army doesn't know when it will come back, so he has taken the liberty of using a life-saving trick, what should he do in the future?

Can you still hold on for a while, I really can't hold on, and then open the secret letter...... The soldiers thought that since it was a life-saving trick, of course it would have to be used at the last minute.

Anyway, you can still hold on, why waste it.

As for whether the trick worked, the big guy never doubted it.

After all, too many of Yang Ye's subordinates are from Linzhou, and they have already regarded the champion Hou as a figure like Jiang Ziya Zhuge Liang, who is clever and omnipotent.

The method left by Hou Ye will definitely work!

Day by day, day by day, they persevered for 5 days!

Blood stained the city, and corpses were piled up in the trenches. Three thousand soldiers, most of them were lost, Yang Ye was seriously injured, and when it was really time to run out of water, Yang Ye grinned bitterly, he trembled his hands, grabbed the secret letter, and wanted to tear it open in front of everyone...... But at this time, the Southern Tang soldiers retreated, the Great Zhou people and horses came to help, Chuzhou turned from danger to safety, and everyone escaped death.

Yang Ye fainted, and the doctor treated him, but found that his hands were clenched tightly, and no matter what, he couldn't break them.

Now the letter has finally returned to Ye Hua's hands.

Ye Hua looked at it carefully, and then suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother Yang, you, have you secretly seen it?" ”

Yang Ye took a breath, the flesh on his face twitched twice, it was very unnatural, he was silent for a while, and then he said blankly: "Master Hou, the last general did look at it...... With the wisdom of the Hou Ye, can't you think of a wonderful way to bring the dead back to life? ”

Ye Hua nodded, "Manpower is limited, but people will win the sky!" Ye Hua didn't have a magic trick and couldn't create a miracle, but, but...... Brother Yang, you did it, you and the three thousand soldiers did it! ”

Yang Ye was very moved, indeed, they did it, in the face of ten times their own strong soldiers, they fought to the death, they would rather shed blood and not retreat, they suffered heavy casualties, and almost all the army was wiped out!

But in the end, they won, there are no gods in the world, but as long as everyone puts their hearts together and twists them into a rope, they can do things that even immortals can't do!

It's just that the price to pay is too great...... Yang Ye was lonely.

"I, I want to go back to Linzhou and return to my hometown. Those clansmen who follow me, I'm afraid not many can see it, they will die in battle, they will die of disease, they will be injured, they will be disabled......" Yang Ye's throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't go on.

Silence, terrible silence.

Tears flowed from the corners of Yang Ye's eyes, "I, I'm going to kill back, no matter how many people die, it's worth it!" He raised his head and looked at Ye Hua, a little like a student looking at the teacher, eager to get an answer.

"Master Hou, right?"

Ye Hua was also very uncomfortable, he paused, "Brother Yang, I don't know how to count death as valuable." I can only say that if I had to choose, I would rather use thousands of lives to recover Yanyun. Even if the corpses are piled up like a mountain and the blood is flowing like a river, it will not hesitate! Because of the loss of Yan Yun's protection, the barbarian iron cavalry may trample on the Central Plains at any time, and at that time, not only tens of millions of people will die, maybe tens of millions! ”

"Historians of the past dynasties have criticized Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for his reckless military force, but they don't know that without Emperor Wu's resolute counterattack, without decades of continuous war, without the sacrifice of millions of people, the Chinese Taoist system may have been lost long ago! Those people all benefited from Emperor Wu's eloquence, but they turned around and scolded Emperor Wu, picked up the bowl to eat meat, put down the chopsticks and scolded their mother, they are a group of poor parasites! ”

Sacrifice is always inevitable in order to achieve great goals, and the greater the goal, the more sacrifices will be made...... Just like an iron-making blast furnace, if you want to produce more good iron, you have to invest more raw materials and spend more effort, which is a law that cannot be changed...... Yang Ye tried hard to understand, but he didn't have a heart of stone after all.

Not only him, but even Ye Hua didn't, so all his thoughts in front of him were on being a good champion, and his immature shoulders couldn't bear more responsibilities.

Coming out of Yang Ye's ward, Ye Hua burned the secret letter, and no one knew what was really written on it except for him and Yang Ye...... There are still jokes circulating in the army that the champion Hou has no last resort, and there is even a trend of becoming more and more magical.

In Ye Hua's dictionary, the word shame no longer exists.

He just needs to work hard to play his role, for example, right now, Xu Xuan came to the peace talks, and after Guo Wei and Wei Renpu discussed, he handed over the glorious task to Ye Hua.

"That Xu Xuan can be eloquent, but the old man has no ability to parry, so he also asked the champion Hou to come out, and the old man congratulated the champion Hou in advance, winning the flag and succeeding!"

Ye Hua despised Wei Renpu fiercely.

What can you say about your old guy, Nantang has become a defeated general, no matter how powerful Xu Xuan's mouth is, it's just a dead duck with a hard mouth, what else can he do?

Purely because I don't want to do the dirty work!

If you don't want to, Lao Tzu will force you to do it!

Ye Hua didn't say a word, and went directly to Xu Xuan.

Lao Xu was hung out for several days, and finally someone came, even if it was Ye Hua, who was quite unreasonable, he was ecstatic and danced.

"The old man has seen the champion Hou!"

Ye Hua ignored him, bypassed him directly, found a position, and sat down.

Xu Xuan was slightly embarrassed and laughed twice.

"Since the last time I saw the amount of alcohol that Hou Ye drank, the old man has also learned to drink more, this time the old man sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman, and the old man drank as much as the Hou Ye drank, and the old man drank as much as he wanted! Don't frown! ”

Want to drink?

Still sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman?

Sorry, not interested!

Ye Hua crossed Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "I heard that Bachelor Xu is well-read and strong, and he will never forget it, he is the first talent in Jiangnan?" ”

Xu Xuan smiled humbly, "Master Hou has a good reputation, Jiangnan people are outstanding, there are indeed many talents, old decay is nothing!" ”

Syllable!

Ye Hua slammed the table and was furious! The speed of turning the face is faster than turning the book, and the face-changing drama is perfectly staged.

"You're nothing, and you were sent? Is it that Li Jing looks down on Da Zhou? ”

Faced with such an unreasonable question, Xu Xuan was dumbfounded, the old man is just modest and earns some face for the country, will you kid not understand?

You're looking for something awkward!

Ye Hua sneered in his heart, that's right, he just wants to find awkwardness!

"Master Xu, I mentioned six articles last time, you should remember that if you want to negotiate peace, you can talk about those six articles, and you won't be able to do anything less!" After Ye Hua finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, not giving Xu Xuan room to bargain at all.

Xu Xuan was dumbfounded, he finally looked forward to a mountain king, what should I do?

Ye Hua's six are really too arrogant and unreasonable, Xu Xuan still remembers them clearly.

The first is to go to the emperor and declare himself a vassal to the Great Zhou, which alone makes the Southern Tang Dynasty unacceptable. They founded the country earlier than the Great Zhou, and they regarded themselves as the continuation of the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty, how could they go to the emperor and bow down to the vassals?

No, absolutely not!

As for the second one, it is to cede the land in Jiangbei, which is even worse, who doesn't want the country to grow stronger and stronger, how can the land be ceded?

What else is there to pay for the indemnity, dispatch the Qincha, cut the soldiers and horses, and even let the six princes act as Youling!

It's too much of a deception!

Can't say yes to any of them!

What can you do if you don't agree?

Keep fighting? Even the most capable Highness has flinched, and others can be stronger than His Highness? I can't fight it, and I can't fight it!

Seo Hyun is such a big talent, overnight, his mouth is full of blisters, and his lips are like toad skin, terrifying and pitiful.

"Alas, what a sin!"

Wei Renpu came to visit in person and brought Xu Xuan the medicine to remove the fire.

Xu Xuan looked at the black medicinal soup, and he didn't have the heart to drink it at all.

"Wei Xianggong, if you have arsenic, give me a bottle, I, I'm not alive!"

Wei Renpu hurriedly persuaded, "Bachelor Xu is a famous person in Jiangnan, everyone knows it all over the world, if you don't give face to others, how can you not give Bachelor Xu face!" Everything is easy to say, easy to say! ”

Xu Xuan rolled his eyelids, "Really? ”

"Really!" Wei Renpu swallowed a mouthful of foam and replied seriously.

"Do you want to go to the Emperor?"

"You don't have to, we are commensurate with the North and the South!"

After hearing this, Xu Xuan seemed to have been given a shot of strength.

"What about the mowing of the land?"

"Is this ...... The meaning of the imperial court is that where there is the blood of my Great Zhou soldiers, it must not be retreated! ”

Xu Xuan thought about it, that is to say, Haizhou, Chuzhou, and Yancheng should be given up, while other places are still owned by Datang.

Seems acceptable.

"What about the others?"

"This ...... The key place is Da Zhou, and you should also let a little, and there are contacts before you can talk about business. ”

"May I ask Wei Xianggong, what do you want to make?"

"Grain!" Wei Renpu said simply: "Every year, Jiangnan will provide 3 million stone grain, restore and dredge the canal, allow merchants to come and go, and pay tribute of 1 million pieces of silk, 50,000 taels of gold, and 500,000 taels of silver - this is the bottom limit of the Great Zhou, how?" ”

Xu Xuan's face was solemn, when he came, Li Jing explained that he could make some money and grain, but it couldn't exceed 1 million, after all, Nantang's family was not rich.

Facing Wei Renpu's lion's big mouth, Xu Xuan was very embarrassed.

"Wei Xianggong, the Son of Heaven has a heart to love the people, no matter the north or the south, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, such exploitation and blackmail, it is like knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow, it will only hurt the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, and treat the Great Zhou as a barbarian, I'm afraid this matter is not what the Son of Heaven is happy to see, right?"

Wei Renpu thought seriously for a while, "That Master Xu, the old man will go and discuss with Your Majesty again." See if you can reduce it by one or two? ”

"Then please!"

Xu Xuan sent Wei Renpu out of the pavilion, but as soon as he came out, a group of soldiers rushed over from a distance, and they scolded! Lao Tzu worked hard to defeat the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the surnamed Wei ran to the peace talks, which simply lost the people of the Great Zhou!

"Shameless old horseman, go to death!"

The more the soldier scolded, the more angry he became, and someone waved his hand and slammed a black thing on Wei Renpu's face, covering all his facial features, not to mention how embarrassed he was!
