The so-called thousands of cuts are only three days at most.

For Liu Chengjun, it is still too cheap for him.

In order to let him really feel what Ling Chi was, Ye Hua asked people to put him in a cage, tie his limbs, and then unload his chin to prevent himself from biting his tongue.

When it was time to eat, someone would feed him liquid food made with ginseng and other precious herbs to ensure his life.

is so painstaking, just to let Liu Chengjun witness with his own eyes how the Northern Han Dynasty perished little by little, so that he really feels the pain of his skin!

On the third day after Ye Hua captured Liu Chengjun, Zhao Pu rushed to the camp.

"Master Hou, fortunately you acted in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Ye Hua didn't waste his tongue, "Mr. Zhao, you came just in time, the Yellow River embankment will be handed over to you, thousands of miles of embankment, related to the life and death of the people in the Central Plains, you can't wait!" ”

Zhao Pu nodded immediately, "Please rest assured, when I came, the political affairs hall had already discussed, and I would mobilize half a million people to go all out to never let anything go wrong with the river embankment." I will divide the embankment into sections, hand it over to the local officials, and behead anyone who fails to protect it! ”

Ye Hua was relieved of Zhao Pu's ability, not to mention that after destroying Liu Chengjun's 3,000 cavalry, the last mobile force of the Northern Han Dynasty also disappeared, and he was no longer able to go south.

However, Ye Hua still didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Mr. Zhao, the remnants of Manichaeism are still there, they may not be as mad as Liu Chengjun, but they are also a big hidden danger, you have to investigate thoroughly, you would rather kill by mistake than let go!"

"Understood!"

Zhao Pu all agreed.

Ye Hua was explaining all kinds of aftermath matters, and Chai Rong's will had arrived. He appointed Ye Hua to deploy all roads and lead the affairs of the Han Dynasty.

Under normal circumstances, all deployments are generally responsible for one direction, or an army on land and water, like this, entrusting all military power to one person, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is the first time!

After Ye Hua got the will, he immediately ordered to rebuild the Zhangshui battalion, and he transferred men and horses from Cizhou, Xiangzhou, Weizhou, and Huazhou to replenish the strength of the Zhangshui battalion to 50,000 people.

At the same time, Wang Quanbin, the envoy of the Baoyi Army, Guo Jin, the queen of Jinzhou, and Han Tong, the envoy of the Zhangwu Army, ordered them to do their best, and within half a month, under the city of Jinyang, the whole army will meet!

After the order was issued, Ye Hua personally returned to the Zhangshui camp and prepared to attack on a certain day.

The four roads of men and horses, plus Chai Rong's 50,000 soldiers, and the 20,000 horses of the North Road that Ye Hua originally commanded, the total number is approaching 200,000!

Because the Great Zhou pursued a strategy of elite troops, even the Northern Expedition to Youzhou did not use so many troops.

This time it was unprecedented, and the pomp and circumstance was unprecedented!

"Liu Chong's father and son in the Northern Han Dynasty, colluded with the Khitan, were willing to be lackeys, and were mad and crazy, trying to dig up the Yellow River. This battle is bound to destroy Hedong! ”

Murong Yanzhao was lying on the hospital bed, and couldn't help clenching his fists, "I can only hate that I am seriously injured, I can't kill the enemy in battle, and I can't witness Liu Chong's head with my own eyes!" ”

The old general turned his head, "You guys have to be effective, and you can't weaken the reputation of our Murong family!" ”

His two younger brothers, Murong Yanzhong and Murong Yanqing, bowed their hands together, "Please rest assured, eldest brother!" ”

The eldest son, Murong Deye, lifted his robe and knelt in front of his father.

"Please be relieved by Daddy, my son will not disgrace the family!"

Two generations of the Murong family, three people, with more than 200 young and strong people who were willing to join the army, came to the Zhangshui camp together.

By the time they arrived, the Zhangshui camp was already several times larger than before.

Cizhou, Xiangzhou, Weizhou, Huazhou, people from all walks of life arrived before and after,

Fu Zhaoxin and Pan Mei settled the people who came from afar on behalf of Ye Hua, and even Shi Shouxin also led the troops to join the division, he and Pan Mei are good friends, the two of them made a career together, and they were sent out to the capital together.

Shi Shouxin smiled and said: "Brother Pan, this time you have made a great contribution, and then come to the top, I am afraid that the younger brother will have to rely on the support of the elder brother in the future!" ”

Pan Mei smiled, and he didn't know how to be modest, he had just been promoted to the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Zhaoyi Army, and when he destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, he might be able to become a general in his own right.

"Brother Shi is polite, I'm all lucky, maybe this time Brother Shi can enter Jinyang first and destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, that is the first merit in the world!"

Shi Shouxin said proudly: "Jinyang Xiongcheng is indeed extraordinary, it is the place where my generation can show his skills, and I will not be polite when the time comes!" ”

"Hahaha, compete before the battle, drink after the battle, my generation of martial artists, I should be like this!"

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed.

……

On the day when the army marched to Jinyang, the surrounding people gathered from ten miles and eight towns, all carrying all kinds of food, carrying wine, rewarding the soldiers, and practicing for everyone.

Ye Hua has only experienced such a scene twice.

Last time, it was the people south of Youzhou who gave everything they had to support the army to recover Youzhou, and this time it was the people who asked the court to destroy Hedong and eliminate the Northern Han!

Ye Hua rode on horseback, looked at the people who couldn't see the end at a glance, and nodded with emotion.

"Liu Chengjun, you regard the people as ants, today you have seen the power of ants, right? I tell you, not only will the country be destroyed, but even your Shatuo clan will be wiped out! You'll regret your actions! ”

Everywhere the army arrived, officials and civilians came out to greet them, and this time the people were recruited, and there was no need to urge them at all, and many people spontaneously mobilized to help transport food and weapons.

There was an old man who was nearly half a hundred years old and pushed a cart of arrows and sent them to Jinyang City, he was not in a hurry to go back, but stayed outside the barracks, he said that he must watch these arrows shoot at the Shatuo bandits, so that he can go home willingly!

The will of the people is like this, how can it be disobeyed!

When the army came to Jinyang, Chai Rong took the initiative to greet him, and he took Ye Hua to the imperial tent.

"Ye Qing, you really live up to my expectations, very good, very good!"

Chai Rong is very pleased, the most important thing for an emperor is to have the wisdom of people. He was lucky that he didn't misunderstand Ye Hua.

In retrospect, things were pretty scary.

If it weren't for Ye Hua and Liu Jichong's rebellion, who would be able to solve it quickly?

Once these 30,000 people are connected with the Northern Han Dynasty, and there are potential Manichaean members, how huge should it be? If they dig up the Yellow River, including Kaifeng, the cities along the coast will not end well, it can be said that the fate of the Great Zhou was hanging by a thread, and it was Ye Huasheng who pulled it back.

What especially made Chai Rong happy was that Ye Hua held the Sword of Heaven and saved thousands of lives, he didn't have any superfluous actions, handed over the task of flood control to Zhao Pu, and mobilized the army to besiege Jinyang, without the slightest selfish distraction.

Father is right, Ye Hua is a pure minister who can be entrusted with big things.

"Your Majesty, whether it is to quell the rebellion or protect the Yellow River embankment this time, it is the credit of the soldiers, the army and the people, Liu Jichong colluded with the Northern Han Dynasty, the crime cannot be punished, Liu Chengjun is mad, and the sky is angry and resentful. If there are no people fighting to the death, the consequences are unimaginable, and I implore Your Majesty to reward all the people to show their merits and strengthen righteousness! ”

After listening to this, Chai Rong nodded, "I read your report, saying that although Murong Yanzhao was disarmed and returned to the field, he acted righteously and was seriously injured for the berm?" ”

"That's right, Old General Murong is indeed a rare loyal general...... Sending him home and abandoning him is a loss for the imperial court. ”

Chai Rong groaned slightly, and immediately said: "Immediately issue an edict and appoint Murong Yanzhao as the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, and after his injury is healed, he will go to the post immediately!" ”

Chai Rong asked again: "I heard that there are still officials who died for the berm?" ”

"That's true, that old official's name is Yang Xun, and the minister has asked people to build a temple to worship in the place where they died in battle."

"Well, although he is a small official, he is also ashamed of countless important ministers! Give the title of servant, be buried with the gift of important ministers, and all the people who died in the country will be rewarded. ”

"The people of the courtiers have thanked God for their grace." After Ye Hua saluted, he said: "Your Majesty, there are many Manichaeans this time, and they have also made meritorious contributions...... It's just that Manichaeism is by no means a good kind, and it should not be connived at, but it should only be killed! ”

Chai Rong thought for a while and said: "I will let the embroidered messenger go to investigate, and all those who are meritorious and willing to sever relations with Manichaeism should be rewarded, if they are...... I will not be spared! ”

After dealing with these things, Chai Rong finally turned to the topic.

"Ye Qing, you see that this Jinyang city is tall and strong, and the monks in the city are descendants, they are defending the city, resisting the heavenly soldiers, and they don't want to repent, how should they deal with it?"

Ye Hua thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, someone has already thought of a way for us, so it's better to concoct it according to the law, and let them taste the taste of lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot!" ”

Chai Rong groaned slightly, "Ye Qing means to replace soldiers with water?" ”

"That's right, the minister thought that he could dig up the Fenshui and flood Jinyang, so that Liu Chong would become a fish and turtle in the water, and drown the old man alive!"

These are the enemies of the two countries, and there is nothing polite to talk about.

Liu Chengjun tried to dig up the Yellow River, so that tens of millions of people suffered from misery, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was also able to dig up Fenshui, flooding the 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, it was his own doing, the cycle of heavenly principles!

Chai Rong immediately agreed to Ye Hua's suggestion.

Of course, there is a consideration of revenge and anger, but Jinyang Xiongcheng is indeed not easy to fight, so it can't be otherwise.

"Give the old man a last chance, if he is willing to surrender, I can still open the net! Otherwise, only jade will be burned! ”

On the third day of Ye Hua's arrival in Jinyang, all the generals gathered.

Almost all of the people who can fight in the whole big week are here.

Yang Ye and Chen Shi of the North Route Army, Gao Huaide, Wang Tingyi, Liu Yanqin of the Middle Road, Fu Zhaoxin, Pan Mei, Shi Shouxin brought by Ye Hua, three uncles and nephews of Murong, as well as generals Han Tong, Guo Jin, Wang Quanbin, and even Zhang Yongde, who was originally in charge of grain and grass, were also transferred.

Chai Rong hated the Northern Han to death, this time he did his best to not destroy the Northern Han and never give up!

Ye Hua was dressed in military uniform, majestic.

The army he now commands is the strongest army in the world, and opposite them is the strongest city, and this is a hard-fought war!

"Everyone obeys the order, according to the deployment, divided into four sides, surrounds Jinyang, and prepares to attack the city!"

"Yes!"

All the generals immediately went to arrange, and by noon, the envoys sent by the Great Zhou were expelled from Jinyang, Liu Chong did not surrender, and the siege battle began......
