Chapter 168: Champion Hou's Tips

Prince, at this time, I am still reluctant to prince!

Father, am I your own son?

Li Hongji was barefoot, walking around like crazy in the Chinese military tent, his meticulous clothes were scattered, the clean and white soles of his feet were covered with mud, and his cloak was scattered, so that anyone who looked at it couldn't believe that he was the personable Prince Hongji!

The accumulated dissatisfaction completely exploded at this moment.

Since others don't give it, then take it yourself!

With my Li Hongji's talent, no one can match, and no one can sit on the dragon chair except me! Up and down the court, no one is his opponent at all.

The only stumbling block is Da Zhou, although Li Hongji is arrogant, but he also knows that Da Zhou is ironclad.

Guo Wei is magnanimous and meritocracy.

Ironically, Guo Weineng did not hesitate to give the position of the prince to his son Chai Rong for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, in contrast, he is Li Jing's own son, but he can't get the storage position, compared with people, how can the gap be so big!

What made Li Hongji even more crazy was the champion Hou Yehua!

This kid is much younger than himself, but he seems to have been born out of nowhere, and he looks down on him. Whether it is a war or a strategy, it is insidious and terrifying.

Ye Hua's arrogant strategy had already worked, Li Hongji had been in charge for a long time, wanting to see Li Jingda's jokes, but there was a secret report, and Li Hongji hurriedly waved his army to attack Chuzhou.

The proud Li Hongji admitted that he had lost Ye Hua's half move.

In addition to this pair of powerful monarchs and ministers, there are so many civil and military generals, and the Great Zhou is full of talents, which is extraordinary. If they are determined to take the throne, it will be difficult...... Li Hongji pondered in the tent all night, and he only thought of a way.

That's peace!

Only by negotiating peace and letting Hou Zhou strike the army can he calmly seize power.

The thought came to me like a weed that could never be removed.

We must negotiate peace, we must negotiate peace, we must negotiate peace!

After Li Hongji thought about it, he immediately picked up his pen and wrote a brilliant recital.

In the midst of the twists and turns, Li Hongji tried his best to exaggerate, saying how difficult his situation was, the ordnance and grain were insufficient, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the general had no fighting spirit, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was violent, constantly mobilizing people's food and wages from the Central Plains, and it was bound to seize Jiangnan.

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he should shed his last drop of blood for the sake of the country.

It's just that I ask my father to remember the ancestral inheritance, thousands of living beings, whether to temporarily seek peace and rest the army, and then fight with the Great Zhou after recuperating and recuperating.

He also suggested that the Tang Dynasty should be a vassal to the Khitan and send a batch of rich gifts in exchange for the Khitan sending troops, so that the energy of the Great Zhou could be involved.

All in all, this is a sincere letter, full of worries about the country and the people, everywhere for the country, for the people.

After Li Jing received it, he watched it several times, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The emperor has really grown up, and he is no longer a brave man, good, great!" Just do what the emperor says! ”

Li Jing thought about it, and still asked Xu Xuan, a Hanlin scholar, to ask Guo Wei to discuss peace matters.

After Seo Hyun received the order, he watched it three times and couldn't believe it!

Aiming at the Central Plains, how could the eldest prince who was bent on sweeping away Liuhe be cowardly?

Sue for peace with the Great Zhou and claim to the Khitan?

This, is this something that the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty can do?

What is we assisting the Tang Dynasty for, not to one day, unify the world and be a virtuous minister who will go down in history...... It's not terrible to lose the battle, Liu Bang, the king of Han, has also lost to Xiang Yu several times!

Jiangnan is rich and there are many people, as long as you give a little time, you can recover.

But the problem is that when the heart is gone, the ambition is gone, and there is really no hope.

Your Highness, what are you thinking?

Xu Xuan was a little hesitant, but Han Xizai was insightful, after he heard about it, he was stunned for a while, and sighed: "The big husband has something to do and something not to do!" ”

Then he closed his mouth and never spoke again.

Many people saw that His Royal Highness was appreciated by His Majesty, and Han Xizai strongly recommended Li Hongji and said key words for him, so they regarded Han Xizai as Li Hongji's confidant and stammered in every possible way.

But Han Xizai didn't see anything, and even simply came to thank the guests, saying that he couldn't get sick.

The Southern Tang Dynasty court, the waves were treacherous, and Xu Xuan came to Chuzhou under this circumstance and asked to see Guo Wei.

The official in charge took him to the castle to rest, and then there was no news.

With people coming to bring water and food every day, surrounded by soldiers from Da Zhou, Seo Hyun felt like a criminal who had completely lost his freedom.

Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, and Da Zhou simply has no courtesy at all.

The last time I went to Kaifeng, I met a bunch of crazy people, this time with the power of a big victory, the guarantee is even more excessive, Xu Xuan is prepared, but no matter what, he can't see people?

"Let's stay up first, anyway, it's not us who is in a hurry!"

Ye Hua was a scoundrel.

Since Li Hongji withdrew from the army and Chuzhou turned from danger to safety, Guo Wei regarded this place as a bridgehead for advancing to the southeast.

From the canal, there was a steady stream of supplies, including cement for building the city, swords and sabers from the Champion's Square, and even military horses and pack horses from the northwest.

And he made the city taller and thicker, and increased the urn city, and set up granaries around it.

With cement, Da Zhou has gone to the road of infrastructure madness.

The city wall was raised to 3 zhang 5 in one go, and a female wall and battlements were set up on it, and the castle tower was increased, and bed crossbows were arranged...... All efforts are to make Chuzhou a real impregnable.

Cement also has the advantage of being able to resist moisture.

Granaries built with cement, which can be stored for several years without spoilage, and most importantly, are inexpensive and can be promoted on a large scale.

In the city of Chuzhou alone, eight grain warehouses were built.

There was food, there was also drinking water, and he ordered the digging of wells, and every city had to ensure that there were three wells...... Building a military fortress is not a small project, even if there is a sharp weapon of cement, it will take more than half a year and spend millions of yuan.

In the face of huge expenses, it is rare that the government affairs hall has no opinion, but actively supports it, and even asks, if it is not enough, you can add it!

With 30,000 to 100,000, just the military expenditure, the grain and grass people will save a large piece, and the stingy ministers don't mind compensating somewhere else.

Moreover, running Chuzhou well is equivalent to saving energy for entering Jiangnan in the future, and it is not a loss, so everyone is happy to give the green light.

Ye Hua liked the feeling of Chuzhou very much, but he would soon return to the capital.

Of course, when he arrived in the capital, he couldn't be idle, and there was still a champion workshop to expand, and his blueprints were all designed, and it would be a huge building complex a hundred times stronger than Chuzhou.

Thinking of going home, Ye Hua couldn't help but think of the poem: The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years!

Although he has not experienced a hundred battles, nor is it as long as ten years, Ye Hua has indeed experienced what life and death are, his hussar guards have suffered a lot of losses, and the losses of other horses are also very large.

In contrast, it was Yang Ye who stayed in Chuzhou who paid the heaviest sacrifice!

He was injured again and is still lying in the hospital room.

Ye Hua had to bite the bullet and go to check his injuries.

"Brother Yang, the wound on your face is fine, it almost hurt your eyes, but your face is ruined. Fortunately, if you marry a daughter-in-law, your sister-in-law won't care, right? ”

Yang Ye squeezed out a smile and nodded with difficulty, with a rare tenderness in his tone.

"She's not going to be so superficial, I'm confident!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Ye Hua said again: "Your Majesty is going to incorporate the Guiyi Army into the forbidden army sequence, and from now on enjoy the same treatment as the hussars, how about it?" ”

Yang Ye hurriedly said thank you.

"You deserve it, it's the brothers who fought with their lives!" Ye Hua said from the bottom of his heart.

That's right, Yang Ye used 3,000 men and horses to fight against more than 30,000 troops on land and water in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After nearly 5 days of fierce fighting, a total of more than 1,200 soldiers were killed, and more than 1,000 were wounded, in other words, almost none were able to be intact!

In the past, some people were still dissatisfied with Yang Ye.

felt that he was just a bun from Linzhou, nothing remarkable, but the moment they entered Chuzhou, they were all convinced, and their bodies fell to the ground.

Heroes are respected in the army, and Yang Ye relies on his own achievements to shut up everyone!

"Champion Hou, I was able to survive, thanks to Master Hou's clever plan." Yang Ye said honestly: "Hou Ye's letter has played a role in fixing the sea god needle, I am now unable to move, the letter is in the clothes, Hou Ye please take it yourself." ”

"Letter?"

Ye Hua finally remembered that he had left a letter for Yang Ye, but that letter had nothing to do with the war? Ye Hua was stunned, he found that the fire paint of the envelope was still there, and he hadn't opened it at all, how could he help Yang Ye?

"Brother Yang, can you tell me how you used this letter?" Ye Hua was puzzled.
