The city of Suzhou is full of collapsed soldiers, many of them have blood stains on their bodies, and their faces are still black and gray, and they don't need any bedding, just curled up on the city wall, and they can sleep.

Those who have never been on the battlefield cannot withstand the ravages of blood and fire.

The people and horses of the Southern Tang Dynasty were like ants, wave after wave, almost without stopping, the soldiers at the head of the city struggled to resist, they couldn't figure out how the people outside were so not afraid of death!

Obviously covered in blood, obviously the intestines are flowing out, and they are still rushing up.

In the face of these Shura evil ghosts, the young men of Suzhou have long been terrified, even if their bodies are intact and there is no trace of scarring, they have also lost the courage to wave their weapons and kill the enemy.

If it weren't for Yang Chongxun supervising the hussar guards and driving these people desperately, Suzhou City would have fallen long ago.

After a few days of fighting, the hussars also lost more than 100 people, and Yang Chongxun hung several lots, but fortunately he was not seriously injured and could still hold on. The problem is that the Suzhou soldiers have too poor mental endurance, and after only a few days of fighting, they can't eat, sleep, and don't have much energy to continue fighting.

Now the head of the city relies on a bed crossbow, and every time you shoot, watching the other party fall in pieces, the people at the head of the city will muster up a little strength. When the problem is that the bed crossbow is not an invincible artifact, due to frequent use, one-third of it has been damaged, and the gunpowder and oil at the head of the city are not small......

Maybe the next siege, Suzhou won't be able to cover it, right?

Yang Chongxun thought of it, he nodded, called someone over, and was about to give two orders, when suddenly, the Southern Tang people outside the city moved, and Yang Chongxun immediately ran to the city tower to overlook.

To his surprise, Nantang did not continue the attack, but chose to retreat.

This retreat is more than a day, and Suzhou City is temporarily safe.

Wang Han appeared at the head of the city, and he excitedly announced that Wu Yue had surrendered, and soon after, there were 100,000 troops to help in the battle, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was not worth mentioning!

After he finished speaking, he came to thank Yang Chongxun again, and the entire city was immersed in joy, but Yang Chongxun was the only one who was even more worried, is this thing reliable? Wei Xianggong, how can you let Wu Yue's men and horses into the city?

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Nantang did nothing except for a small-scale attack.

The entire battlefield is strangely quiet, but everyone knows that this is the quiet before the flash flood, and the more peaceful it is now, the more terrible the outbreak will be!

Wait and see!

"General Yao, how are you preparing?"

He Chengzong asked loudly.

General Yao Yanhong immediately said: "The last general has selected five thousand elites, all of them are horse teams, equipped with long and short weapons, if the commander feels that it is not enough, he can increase it." ”

He Chengzong thought for a while, and said loudly: "In Suzhou City, there are a group of hawkers and merchants, how much ability can they have, with these five thousand people, it is enough to capture Wei Renpu, the old thing is smart, thinking that we will surrender to the Great Zhou!" As everyone knows, we have long been Tang Tianzi's people! ”

He Chengzong said again: "General Yao, what did you just call me?" ”

Yao Yanhong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly patted his head and said: "Look at the last general, the last general is confused, and the last general will meet King Wu!" ”

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to He Chengzong.

He Chengzong laughed and pulled Yao Yanhong up with satisfaction.

"Lao Yao, we are good friends, good brothers, don't worry, I can't treat you badly! When I become the king of Wu, you will be the commander of the Yanei army, under one person, above ten thousand! He Chengzong was triumphant, "Qian Hongyu, this waste dim sum, he ran away, but left the position to us, God really help me!" ”

Yao Yanhong nodded again and again, deeply agreed. It's just that in his arms, he also carries a holy decree, which says that he will be named the king of Yue!

That's right, Tang Tianzi Li Hongji wanted to dismantle Wu Yueguo and hand it over to these two people in order to contain each other, but they were all unwilling to take only half of it.

"He Chengzong, you go into the city, don't think about coming out if you enter, the rest of the people are all mine!"

Dare to love this surnamed Yao is still a dog who does not leak teeth, he secretly thinks in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, according to the agreement, He Chengzong led 5,000 men and horses, as the vanguard force, to meet Wei Renpu and accept the appeasement, and then the brigade of men and horses marched into Suzhou to assist in the battle.

Before leaving, He Chengzong also instructed Yao Yanhong.

"When I catch Wei Renpu, I will send you a letter first, our men and horses will go to Suzhou, and we can't let the Southern Tang soldiers come in, Suzhou's fat can't fall into their mouths, otherwise it won't come out!"

"Understood! The end will be arranged immediately! ”

Sending He Chengzong away, Yao Yanhong immediately summoned all the generals and held a meeting in the tent.

Usually he was the first to come, like a dog, waiting for He Chengzong, very well-behaved.

This time it was different, he arrived at the end, surrounded by countless guards, more than twice as many as He Chengzong!

He strode to the middle, unsheathed his sword, and slammed it on the table!

"Zhugong, you may have heard of the current situation, Wu Yue is finished, Da Zhou and Da Tang are going to fight a decisive battle in Yangzhou, and the victory is not decided. As southerners, we can't help the barbarians in the north, and we should be obedient to the Tang Emperor. But among us, some people want to follow He Chengzong and establish themselves as kings, and disobey Tang Tianzi's orders! I respect the will of the Son of Tang and kill the rebels! ”

"Someone!"

"Yes!"

The guards shouted together, and the sound was earth-shattering.

"Go, take these people down!"

With a finger of his hand, the guards rushed out and pounced on the generals who were still loyal to He Chengzong.

The two sides started a frenzied killing in the handsome tent.

He Chengzong's subordinates are numerous, and they can fight a lot, the problem is that they are thought to have a heart and no intention, how can they not have the power to return to the sky, they are still trapped and fighting for a while, all of them were killed, and no one was left.

"Hahaha!"

Yao Yanhong was overjoyed, he took out the holy decree given to him by Li Hongji, his eyes lit up, he stared tightly, and muttered: "King Yue, King Yue, Lao Tzu is the King of Yue!" ”

He pulled his neck and screamed as if he were crazy.

His subordinates knew that he had endured it for too long, so they knelt down one after another and chanted Yue Wang Chitose together, which made Yao Yanhong's heart flutter.

"Don't worry, as long as I sit firmly on the throne, there will be no shortage of benefits, money, officials, women, land, you give whatever you want! Lao Tzu and He Chengzong are different! Hahaha! ”

Before his laughter stopped, someone ran in in a panic, his voice trembling, "No, it's not good!" ”

"What?" Yao Yanhong was furious, "What's wrong? Is it Suzhou, or ......"

"Yes, it's the north!" The person who reported the news gasped for breath and spent a long time before he explained that it turned out that from the area of Liujiagang, there was a large group of people and horses landing, and after landing, he did not stop for a moment, and came straight to Wu Yue's camp, and the speed was unprecedented!

What's even worse is that looking at his banner, it is actually the banner of Da Zhou!

!

At first impression, Yao Yanhong thought it was nonsense.

Didn't Da Zhou confront Nantang in Yangzhou? The battle has not yet been fought, how can Da Zhou divide his troops to the south? Besides, the Great Zhou lacks sailors, this is a well-known thing, where did they get the boats to let the brigade cross the river?

"You're lying!"

Yao Yanhong grabbed the informant's neck and wanted to strangle him.

The person who reported the news hurriedly begged, "Really, what the villain said is true, the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou have already been killed, just go out and see if you don't believe it!" ”

Yao Yanhong was stunned for a moment, he threw the messenger on the ground suddenly, turned his head and ran outside, and the rest of his men followed.

When they came out, sure enough, there was a group of people and horses that were approaching quickly...... Han Shan is one of the soldiers who ran at the front, he used to be Wu Yue's sailor, he was not very old, just twenty years old, but he had been in the army for five years. He was very short, and when he first came in, he had fine skin and tender flesh, like a big girl, and in a few years, he had been tanned, but his eyes had always been very good-looking, very bright and clean.

In the past days, he had never rushed to the front in battle, and this time it was the first time!

Han Shan has become extraordinarily brave and fearless!

He can still clearly remember that just the night before, an official of Da Zhou, who was about the same age as himself, sat on the old boat and chatted with him, he asked his name, and when he said that his name was Han Shan, he was very curious, saying that he had heard of Hanshan Temple, but he didn't know if it was from Suzhou.

Han Shan was very happy to tell the other party that in the early years of his family, he was the tenant of Hanshan Temple, and when he gave birth to himself, his father didn't know how to name him, so he took apart the three words of Hanshan Temple and gave them to his three sons, and he was the second in line, so he was called Han Shan.

"Where's your eldest brother and third brother?"

"Dead!"

Han Shan simply told the other party that there was a big flood in the Yangtze River that year, which flooded their fields, and there was no harvest...... After the water receded, the monks of Hanshan Temple came to visit, said some words of comfort, and left them a small bag of grain for them to cook porridge to eat.

The Han family was grateful and thanked the master for his kindness, but in the evening, someone came in, tied up their whole family, forced the father to sign an IOU, and lent them two stones of rice.

This thing is fresh enough, some people are robbing money, why are there still people who insist on stuffing food into their hands?

Han Shan smiled bitterly, how did outsiders know that after borrowing these two stones of grain, there was one stone and five buckets to be given to Hanshan Temple as land rent. Moreover, these two stones of grain were profitable, and in the second year, they paid back five stones, and as a result, they still owed eight stones!

The more you owe, the more you owe, and the Han family went bankrupt.

The father was so tired that he died in the field, the old lady drank the brine, the three brothers escaped from home overnight, and someone chased them behind, the eldest brother and the third brother were arrested, only he was lucky to escape, and went to Hangzhou, and later joined the army and became a sailor.

"When it's okay, I wonder, what kind of bad luck did our family have? Later, I was ordered to do things for the Lingyin Temple, put on makeup and disguise, and forced the tenants to pay the rent, but when they couldn't get it, they were forced to borrow money and write down IOUs...... I get it, I get it all! ”

Han Shan slammed the hard boat wood with his fist, and the back of his hand was covered with blood.

"Our family was framed by a bald donkey, and I really want to kill them! Chop off their heads! ”

Ye Hua listened carefully, and he said lightly: "If someone helps you realize your wishes, what should you do?" ”

"How is that possible?" Han Shan didn't believe it, he shook his head, "Those bald donkeys are all powerful people, and they wear a pair of pants!" ”

Ye Hua said: "Do you know that the Great Zhou Dynasty has carried out the destruction of the Buddha, recovered all the properties of the temple, and distributed them to tenants like you. ”
