Zhu Lingyun came all the way to rescue Jinling and didn't even let him enter the city, which was really unkind. And according to Chen Qiao's thinking, it is necessary to defend the city.

If there is the help of these 100,000 troops, he can suppress the chaos in the city, relying on the grain stocks in Taicang, he can support it for at least a month, and no matter what, the war in Yangzhou will be over.

As long as His Majesty comes back, he will be able to unload the burden of a thousand catties, whether it is dismissal or killing, he will admit it.

He planned to do so, and the few people present categorically would not let him get his wish.

Song Qiqiu was scheming, and he lamented.

"Chen Xianggong, at this life-and-death juncture, the old man has nothing to avoid. Zhu Lingyun has an army of 100,000 in his hands, which is enough to influence the overall situation, can you guarantee that he will be wholeheartedly loyal to His Majesty? Song Qiqiu said: "What if he enters the city, holds Jiang Ning in his hands, and then runs to negotiate with Da Zhou?" If he sacrifices Jinling, will he get a higher position? Also, even if Zhu Lingyun is loyal, what about his subordinates? Don't forget, those martial artists are the most shameless, and where there is good, they will run there. Even if there are one or two people under Zhu Lingyun who harbor evil intentions, and getting them into the city, isn't it equivalent to luring wolves into the house and killing themselves! ”

Sun Sheng also echoed: "Chen Xianggong, you have not only the trust of the Son of Heaven on your shoulders, but also the lives of millions of living beings in Jinling, you must be cautious in every move!" ”

Feng Yanji said again: "The so-called sitting in the city of sorrow and sticking to the rules. How can a lonely city be defended? If Zhu Lingyun is allowed to lead the men and horses east into Runzhou and stationed between the two places, they can attack and retreat and defend. can also take into account Runzhou and Jinling, you must know that Runzhou is Your Majesty's back road, but you must not lose!

……

These three people, you say a word, I say a word.

It sounds like an honest country, and it is a matter of course.

Chen Qiao also hesitated, in the final analysis, although Xu Xuan did not enter the city, but his name as a left-behind guard was not justified, and it was really difficult to command a general. In case Zhu Lingyun entered the city and did something wrong, he didn't even have the slightest idea.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Qiao said: "Since this is the case, let Zhu Lingyun quickly enter Stone Town, seize Zhongshan, the art of war is cloudy, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, he has more than 100,000 horses, and his back is Jinling, which is enough to fight with Ye Hua!" ”

Chen Qiao seemed to be reluctant to go, and added: "In order to help the army, 100,000 stone of grain, 10,000 pairs of armor, and 30,000 weapons were transferred from the city, and then messengers were sent to comfort the soldiers. ”

Hearing Chen Qiao's decision, the three old guys looked at each other, and they all smiled. As long as the army doesn't enter the city, and Chen Qiao is so stupid, they have a lot to do!

How can this heavenly merit be given to others!

"Master Hou, I just sent an urgent report, Zhu Lingyun led the army, all the way south from Jiangzhou, and has arrived at Quarry Rock." Yang Ye said anxiously: "After being rescued, the morale of the city will definitely be greatly boosted, if you can't kill Jinling as soon as possible, let them join forces together, and then want to fight Jinling, it will be troublesome." ”

Ye Hua raised his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled easily, "Zhu Lingyun is here, it's really majestic!" Pass on my order, the whole army retreats, and deploys along the Zhongshan area! ”

"What?"

Yang Ye couldn't believe his ears, "Master Hou, how can you retreat, could it be that you are afraid of Zhu Lingyun?" ”

Ye Hua smiled and said nothing, "General Yang, you just do what I ask, the people in the city will impress you." ”

Yang Ye was skeptical, but there was no way.

The Zhou soldiers continued to fight, especially many recruits were tired enough and urgently needed to repair, so he ordered the horses to retreat, and selected the elites to seize the commanding heights of Zhongshan and arrange men and horses to defend along the mountain.

At the same time, a group of new troops were transferred from Suzhou, and Yang Ye's men exceeded 40,000. In addition, 500 bed crossbows were brought in to strengthen the firepower.

Yang Ye was ready to stop, but he was not very optimistic in his heart, with the virtue of the Southern Tang Dynasty, most of them would not be able to defend it, almost 200,000 people, and it was not easy to take Jinling.

When Yang Ye was worried, he suddenly got the news that Zhu Lingyun's army did not enter Jiangning, but killed in the direction of Zhongshan.

"What!"

Yang Ye was shocked at first, and then overjoyed, my God, Hou Ye is really clever! Zhu Lingyun is really a pig, he came from afar, he didn't wait for the comfortable city, he wanted to run to die, then I will fulfill you!

Yang Ye immediately cheered up and prepared for a massacre.

As for Zhu Lingyun on the other side, he was furious at the moment, full of anger, and furious!

Zhang Xun was in front of him, and Zhu Lingyun was almost face to face, spraying Zhang Xun's face full of spit!

"Zhang Yushi, how can you guarantee it? You don't mean that as long as our army drives to Jinling, we will definitely get preferential treatment. Now they won't even let us in the city gates, what is it? ”

Zhang Yi was speechless, with a handsome little white face, ashamed of blood.

"Zhu, General Zhu, Chen Xianggong has already promised, how can it be easy to change? It really doesn't make sense! ”

Zhu Lingyun doesn't know about Xu Xuan yet, but he has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and he is far from being comparable to Zhang Xun, a rookie.

"Zhang Yushi, most likely it was the time when you left the capital, and there were changes in the city. Those poor and sour cuoses are big, and there is not a good thing! Guarding against warriors and thieves is always afraid that we will eat them! You go and tell them that Lao Tzu just eats pigs and dogs, and doesn't eat them, I hate them for being dirty! ”

Zhu Lingyun scolded Zhang Xun for his words, but Zhang Xun couldn't refute it, so don't mention his troubles.

"General Zhu, I'll go back to the capital now, go and question Chen Xianggong, fight for my life, and open the gate of Jinling!"

Zhu Lingyun chuckled and shook his head.

"Why, General Zhu doesn't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe in you, I don't believe in the people of the city." Zhu Lingyun said: "That's it, since I'm here, I'm going to fight Ye Hua to the death, you go to see Chen Qiao, you can help me transport the military rations and weapons, remember, don't do anything on the military rations." ”

Zhang Xun can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and do tricks and feet on the military rations, is there anyone else's heart?

He didn't say anything, turned his head and got on the war horse, and went straight to Jinling.

Zhang Yi entered the city smoothly and saw Chen Qiao, but he swept the other people on duty and immediately felt bad. Why did all these old things come out?

Song Qiqiu, Feng Yanji, Sun Sheng, Li Deming, Wei Cen, and even Sun Chongjun are here!

What is this for?

The left-behind is Chen Qiao and Chen Xianggong, what are these people coming to join in?

Seeing that Zhang Xun was dumbfounded, Chen Qiao took the initiative to speak, "That's the case, Your Majesty issued a decree to remove me from my post of staying." ”

"What? Exempt Chen Xianggong, then, who will replace him? ”

"Let Xu Xuan and Master Xu replace him, only, it's just that he fell into the hands of Da Zhou!" When Chen Qiao said this, he felt embarrassed, what kind of thing is this!

It's a few old ones who don't care.

Feng Yanji said: "Chen Xianggong has no fault, and His Majesty's will is not appropriate. We are all upset for Chen Xianggong. Now that the big guy has stepped forward, His Majesty has any anger, and he will come at us! Life and death are up to us! ”

What a righteous and impassioned Feng Xianggong!

It's just that there are a thousand people in the family, and there is only one person in charge.

Who is in charge of Jinling City now?

Zhang Xun looked around, the bad thoughts in his heart became stronger and stronger, his voice trembled slightly, and he said tentatively: "Chen Xianggong, General Zhu's army came to help, and Jiangzhou rushed to Jinling, it only took more than ten days, people were sleepy and tired, and they urgently needed to repair. He thought that he should be allowed to go into the city to rest, and as for the war with the Zhou soldiers, it was better to wait! ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone's expressions, especially Chen Qiao. But he was very sad to find that Chen Qiao's eyes wandered, and he actually went to see a few other people first!

Suffered!

Zhang Xun immediately said secretly: "Chen Xianggong's problem has been committed again, and the power of Jinling has been lost!" ”

Just as Zhang Yi thought, Feng Yanji immediately said: "General Zhu can come to the aid of Jinling, it is really loyal and commendable. However, just before he came to help, Zhou Bing had already retreated, and in my opinion, Ye Hua was powerless to follow, and it seemed that he was going to escape! ”

Wei Cen immediately said: "What the old minister said is very true, Ye Hua crossed the Yangtze River, gathered the weak brigade of Wu Yue, recruited peddlers and pawns, and cobbled together tens of thousands of horses!" Even pirates and pirates are under their command, can these people fight? Even without Zhu Lingyun's reinforcements, we can keep Jinling! ”

Someone else shouted: "What is it to keep Jinling, we should defeat Ye Hua, capture this champion Hou alive, and dedicate it to Your Majesty!" ”

Suddenly, the entire room was filled with an atmosphere of joy, as if Ye Hua had been defeated.

Zhang Xun's face was more ugly than ever.

"Chen Xianggong, I think that General Zhu should be allowed to enter the city to ensure safety!"

At this time, Sun Sheng glared at him with his eyes, "I'm waiting for the big officials to talk about things, how dare you talk nonsense?" ”

With a scolding, Zhang Xun was completely angry!

"You and other officials, whether you are seeking the country for Your Majesty, or for yourself! Do you dare to speak with your conscience? ”

"Bold!"

Song Qiqiu, the Duke of Chu, suddenly stood up and scolded sharply, "The old man was an official for three dynasties, and he gave his life to the Tang Dynasty, you are a petty official who has just entered the ranks, and you dare to speak so wildly!" The rules of the court have all been corrupted by you, and you have messed up the world! ”

Song Qiqiu opened his mouth, and the others followed suit, opening their mouths, how could he fight so many people, not to mention that his status was too low, and he was so depressed that he was about to explode.

At this time, Chen Qiao finally spoke slowly.

"Zhang Yushi can move to rescue the soldiers, and he has made great contributions to Sheji, what I mean is to send the food and weapons to General Zhu as soon as possible, so that he can rest assured that he will meet the enemy."

Finally, Chen Qiao still had a little weight, and the others stopped talking. Chen Qiao was excited, and after the order, he went to rest. And Feng Yanji and Song Qiqiu looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.

Here's your chance!

Just one Jinling City, it can't show our ability!

Just right, take this 100,000 army as a gift!

The champion will be happy, and we will be able to reuse it again...... What is it like to be the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty in a corner of peace, if you can become the prime minister of the Great Zhou, then it will be majestic!
