Seeing He Wuji's sarcastic words, Lu Jinglian smiled faintly, "Lu is not talented, I am willing to go to the Southern Navy!" ”

"There is no joke in the army, Lord Lu, you have to think twice, the Southern Navy is determined to win Jiangnan, I'm afraid that it won't be a few words that can make them retreat!" Jia Yuanen still has some pity for Lu Jinglian

"Okay, Lord Lu can go to the Southern Navy, and he can also help us find out the news, at least he can help us delay for a while!" He Wuji felt that since Lu Jinglian dared to recommend himself, he would let him toss it, even if it was of no great use, it was okay to look at the reality of the Southern Navy.

"Lord Lu, I am willing to accompany you through this experience!" Yan Ruohua, the ruler of Su, also had to go on an envoy

Jia Yuanen pressed Yan Ruohua, "You have a hot temperament, if you let you go, I'm afraid you will give your life in vain!" You'd better stay and help the army raise food and grass! ”

Wang Tiezhu also stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Ruohua, "The war is imminent, how can you, as the internal history of Zhisu, leave your post without permission!" If you want to go, Lao Wang, I don't recognize the copper hammer in my hand! ”

Jia Yuanen hurriedly held Wang Tiezhu's hand with both hands: "Marshal Wang doesn't have to be like this!" If Lord Yan doesn't go, it's enough! Rest the rage, stop the rage! ”

Wang Tiezhu sat down at this time, "Taiwei Jia is a good person who is sensible, I respect you, but the rest of you are just talkers, you didn't bring grain, grass, and grass, and you didn't have clothes and armor!" I don't know what you're here for? ”

He Wuji also said angrily, "The adults have their own clever plans, Marshal Wang and I are waiting for you to retreat from the enemy!" ”

Jia Yuanen still took the overall situation into account and coughed a few times, "Ahem, cough, everyone, this matter of leading troops to fight, everything still has to follow the orders of Marshal He and Marshal Wang, I can't wait for military affairs, so I can't say more!" Each performs his own duties and assists the two marshals to solve the matter of food, grass, clothing, armor and equipment! ”

Everyone looked at Jia Yuanen, and then at He Wuji and Wang Tiezhu, so they had to bow and agree with their fists.

Seeing that everyone was silent, He Wuji spoke again, "The two of us should fight to kill the enemy at the behest of the imperial court and the order of Taiwei Jia, since Taiwei Jia asked the two of me to preside over military affairs, then He Mou will take the idea first, and ask all the generals and adults present to brainstorm and share the worries of the imperial court!" Everyone has heard Captain Jia's order just now, the first thing is to strengthen the city defense of Jinling, there is still a shortage of 100,000 bricks, the second thing is to raise 300,000 stone of military rations, and the third thing is that Lord Lu will leave tomorrow to discuss peace in the Southern Navy. ”

Except for the third one, which is the easiest, the first two are at a loss.

Duzhi Shangshu Yang Mi rubbed his hands back and forth, "These 100,000 bricks, 300,000 stone military rations, there is no money to do it, Marshal He, why don't you go to collect grain?" ”

"If we levy grain again, we don't have to fight this battle, and the people will have to follow the Southern Navy to rebel against us! Could it be that Your Excellency, as the secretary of the Duzhi Treasury, is in charge of the treasury, but you can't even raise military rations and materials? He Wuji immediately retorted

"This, Marshal He, it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the treasury is empty"

Before he finished speaking, Jia Yuanen spoke, "I heard that this year's harvest in Huaibei is a bumper harvest, but you can first borrow grain to solve the urgent needs of the army, as for this brick, you adults go to find a merchant to find a way to burn it outside Jinling City, of course, the old man is also vain, you have high opinions, please don't hesitate to teach!" ”

"Huaibei has indeed had a bumper harvest this year, but without the imperial edict, how can Zhong Zhiming be willing to borrow grain from us?" Wang Tiezhu looked at Jia Yuanen

"Zhong Zhiming, I'll go and borrow food in person! It's all for the country, I think he will definitely borrow it! Jia Yuanen decided to go on his own

A meeting to discuss Wei Junping's southern strategy

In the end, it ended with He Wuji's proposal.

Jia Yuanen had long known that this was the result, and this time he just let the officials in the court see what it means to have a gun and be the king of grass.

Most of the officials who came were also from Jinling, and they came back this time to visit relatives and friends.

It's just that after Liu Jingxuan's rebellion in Jinling, many people have already fled, and there are very few left, and the officials have been looking for two days in the city, and only a few people have been found.

Today's Jinling is in great depression, full of ruins and broken walls, wooden and straw sheds abound in the city, and the prosperity of the past has long disappeared with the fire.

Those who ran back to live in the city were either nostalgic or outcasts from other places.

Yang Mi, Yan Ruohua and Xu Changsheng and Cen Erhu under Wang Tiezhu led people around the city, and saw a group of homeless people demolishing a dilapidated house, Yang Mi pointed to the bricks on the wall, "Isn't this a brick?" Instead of spending money to hire people to burn bricks, it is better to use local materials! ”

Xu Changsheng smiled, "These bricks have been burned by fire, and they are no longer of much use, it is not possible to use them to strengthen the city wall, so let's leave it to them!" ”

Cen Erhu seemed to remember something, pointing in the direction of the Taiji Palace, "There is no fire on the other side of the palace, and the bricks over there can be used, but who dares to do this?" ”

The palace belongs to the emperor, and the emperor's bricks, the marshals really dare not move.

But having an idea is better than not having an idea, and the four of them mustered up the courage to find Jia Yuanen, who was about to leave the city.

Jia Yuanen frowned and looked at the water trail on the road after listening to the four of them immediately, "You said that if it rains heavily in the palace, the wall is broken, do you want to change this brick?" In the city, some of the old high-ranking officials and nobles in the mansion of the good stone bricks can be moved to the palace, the broken bricks of the palace can be used and transported to the city wall! ”

The four of them looked at Jia Yuanen in surprise, and Jia Yuanen blinked, "It is our duty as courtiers to protect the palace!" Let's check out how many bricks are needed to repair the palace! ”

Yang Mi also asked carefully, but Xu Changsheng grabbed him, "Obey the orders of Lord Taiwei, we will do our best to repair the palace!" ”

Lu Jinglian also went south on the same day, and before leaving, he specially asked He Wuji to buy him ten lotus leaf ducks to take away.

To be exact, it was knocked on He Wuji's bamboo pole, Lu Jinglian was a man with no money, so he had to pester He Wuji, "The emperor is not a hungry soldier, I, Lu Jinglian, was ordered by your Marshal He to negotiate peace, is it possible to let me beg along the road to lose my country?" ”

He Wuji had to follow Lu Jinglian's request, not only bought ten lotus leaf ducks, but also gave Lu Jinglian a hundred pieces of money and three carriages and horses.

Jiangnan and Shuzhong were in chaos, and Fan Yangshuo started fighting.

The world is in turmoil, and no one is immune, and those who think they are controlling the situation and authority can't help but jump out.

The Gaochang Kingdom in the northwest was restored, the forces of the Green Flag Khanate returned to the Hehuang area again, and the Liugui Kingdom in the north once again sent troops to Heren City.

I don't know where the information of the Wandering Ghost Country got it, and I decided that Heren City is the capital of Yu Kingdom, which is extremely prosperous, so the Wandering Ghost Country captured many people from the extreme north as soldiers, and ordered 50,000 horses to come towards Heren City.

Zada Yuanxian has been in Heren City for several years, in addition to military training, he is digging ditches and digging holes inside and outside the city, and the whole Heren City is surrounded by ravines for 30 miles.

Beneath the straight road leading to the city gate had been hollowed out by Zada Yuanxian's men, and it was all covered with pillars and planks, and on the surface, this road was no different from any other road.

Thirty miles away to bury Hu Gao's Huan Gong Gang, is the military camp of Zada Yuanxian, Zada Yuanxian put the most elite eight

A hundred people stayed here, and the rest were on patrol in the city or underground, waiting for the arrival of the army of the Wandering Ghost Country.

After a long journey of three months, the army of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom finally arrived at a place twenty miles north of Huangonggang.

After receiving the scout's reward, Zada Yuanxian rushed straight to the army of the Wandering Ghost Country with an army of 800,000 feathers, and he wanted to lure them to the city, and he could not let the army of the Wandering Ghost Country approach the city of Heren step by step.

The plan went very smoothly, Zada Yuanxian's surprise attack killed more than 1,000 people in the vanguard of the Wandering Ghost Country, and after successfully angering the army of the Wandering Ghost Country, Zada Yuanxian and the Thousand Feather Army feigned defeat and left.

In order not to let the enemy see the flaws, the 800,000 feather army deliberately scattered and fled, and only Zada Yuanxian fled to the city gate with fifty horsemen.

This is already a tactic that Zada Yuanxian has repeatedly practiced countless times, combined with the terrain of this ravine, from a distance, the Thousand Feather Army is a group of headless flies, and the formation is all scattered.

The people of the Wandering Ghost Country are not stupid, the cavalry formation of the Thousand Feather Army is out of order, and this is a good opportunity to kill the Thousand Feather Army in one fell swoop.

10,000 cavalrymen of the Wandering Ghost Country, wrapped in animal skins and wearing masks, waved the big stick in their hands and crushed them in the direction of Heren City.

The 10,000 men were actually five teams of men, with two wings protruding and the middle connected to the rear, and it seemed that they were going to destroy the Thousand Feathers Army and besiege the city together.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Wandering Ghost Country was not far from the scattered Thousand Feather Army, they began to fire arrows one after another.

Countless arrows rained down, and all the men and horses of the Thousand Feather Army fell to the ground, and only the war horses continued to gallop forward.

The cavalry of the Wandering Ghost Country only rushed forward, ignoring the dead corpses on the ground.

These "dead bodies" actually landed before the arrows came, and when they landed, they either rolled over into the water or slipped into the holes, and less than ten people actually died under the arrows.

The walls of Heren Castle were covered with many trees and branches, and sure enough, the cavalry of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom began to shoot arrows smeared with fire oil.

The generals of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw the dense trees on the city wall, and it seemed that as long as the fire oil arrows only went in, the city wall could be burned down.

The two rockets rushed to the city wall, and the dense trees on the city wall peeled off from the city wall at this moment, and fell under the base of the city wall, revealing rows of stone slabs.

This is what Zada Yuanxian made out to consume the fire oil of the army of the Flowing Ghost Country, and the rocket hit the stone slab and all fell down.

The rockets that fell on the branches of the trees began to ignite the trees, which was also calculated by Zada Yuanxian, and the wind direction flickered to the east and west, and the smoke suddenly dispersed to the battlefield.

Seeing that it was impossible to suppress the army of the Yu State with a few rounds of arrow rain, the army of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom began to besiege Heren City from all sides, and continued to fire arrows into the city as they approached.

Almost all of the quilts in the castle were covered with water on the roofs, and most of the arrows of the Wandering Ghost Country were stuck in the waterlogged quilts.

The Yu army in the city was all behind the city gate and in the hidden caves in the city walls, waiting for the enemy to attack the city.

The smoke soon filled the entire city of Heren and the battlefield outside the city, and it was this moment that Zada Yuanxian was waiting for.

The bell on the city wall began to ring, and with each ring, some of the Wandering Ghost Nation cavalry fell from their horses, or their horses had their legs cut off.

There was more and more smoke, and it was impossible to see who was the attacker, and soon many people were fighting each other.

The general of the Wandering Ghost Country in the Chinese army shouted to retreat, and when the cavalry of the Wandering Ghost Country withdrew from the surroundings of Heren City, they found that there were more than 2,000 people missing.

The army of the Wandering Ghost Kingdom withdrew from the ambush range, and Zada Yuanxian continued to lie dormant underground with the Thousand Feather Army, waiting for the enemy's second attack.
