In order to appease his subordinates, Zhou Zong had to take out the grain and treat the three armies well, the grievances of the soldiers disappeared, and the crisis of food shortage seemed to be solved, Zhou Zong looked at the flat rice bag, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, the food crisis was like a mountain, weighing heavily on his heart, could it be that he really wanted to sell grain to Yang Lian at a high price? Yang Lian doesn't look like a businessman, but he is more ruthless than a businessman, and he is simply murderous without seeing blood. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Zong urgently summoned Zhou Hongzuo, and now the two are grasshoppers on a thread, and only by relying on each other can they tide over the difficulties. The two discussed for a while, and Zhou Zong finally made up his mind to sell grain to Yang Lian, and at the price Yang Lian requested, the rice was 160 yuan.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhou Zong rushed to Yuhang again with his own soldiers, and Zhou Hongzuo protected him in case the Wu Yue people went out of the city.

The two of them were in the center of the team, walking while talking with a frown, no matter what, now the two of them need to bow their heads, otherwise they will not get food, the three armies will collapse and rebel, and things are likely to reach the point of no return, so the two of them secretly made a decision in their hearts, no matter what, they must sell grain with Yang Lian calmly.

After arriving in Yuhang, Zhou Zong identified himself, and the defenders of the city quickly rushed to pay respects, and after a while, the city gate opened, and a capital head walked out, arching his hand towards Zhou Zong, and said: "Zhou Situ, please!" ”

"I'm tired." Zhou Zong smiled, if it was in normal times, he wouldn't look at this person at all, just a head. However, at this time, people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads, and Zhou Zong chose a smiling face.

Du Tou also smiled, after welcoming Zhou Zong and his party into the city, the city gate was closed again, under the leadership of this Du Tou, Zhou Zong and Zhou Hongzuo rushed towards the county government, just walked dozens of steps, suddenly, a man rushed to the street, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, wow wow screamed, pounced, shouted: "Thief, return the life of my wife and children." ”

Zhou Hongzuo was stunned for a moment, and was about to touch the waist knife, but his head was in front of him, and shouted: "Who are you?" Dare to assassinate an official of the imperial court? ”

The man gritted his teeth, pointed at Zhou Hongzuo and said, "Dog thief, you won't die sooner or later!" ”

Zhou Hongzuo glared at him fiercely, and quickly pulled out his blade, he didn't know this man, but he knew that the killing a few days ago was to kill his relatives, so he was like this at this time, and he wanted to seek revenge for himself.

Just a Wu Yue people, he naturally didn't take it to heart, when he drew the knife and was about to cut at the people, he quickly pulled out the knife and blocked Zhou Hongzuo's waist knife, with a crisp sound, the people came back to their senses, just now he was angry for a while, he didn't expect that the enemy was not only numerous, but also officers and soldiers, how could he be an opponent?

"General Zhou, Yang Jiedu has ordered that in this city, you can't kill people indiscriminately, otherwise you will be engaged in military law." Dutou said.

"I'm no exception?" Zhou Hongzuo asked.

"No one is privileged." Dutou replied.

Zhou Hongzuo smiled, inserted the waist knife back into the scabbard, and said, "Hehe, I'm just joking, brother don't take it seriously." ”

"Come on, escort him back to his house, such a dangerous person, let him be locked up for a few days first." All the heads commanded.

"Whoa!" Two soldiers stepped forward and escorted the man away, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Zhou Situ is frightened, please!" Du Tou said again, urging the war horse forward.

Zhou Hongzuo looked coldly at the head of the capital who left, and the killing intent burst out, but he quickly covered it up, and the group continued to move forward.

Yang Lian got the news, waited at the door early, saw Zhou Zong, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Zhou Situ, you are finally here." ”

Zhou Zong said strangely: "Yang Jiedu, what do you mean?" ”

"No matter what, Zhou Situ and Yang are finally courtiers of the same dynasty, and now that the attack on Hangzhou is imminent, we must cooperate with each other and conquer Hangzhou as soon as possible, which is the right way." Yang Lian spoke with a grand fist.

When Zhou Zong heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, could it be that Yang Lian decided to reduce the price of grain, and even provided him with food for free? When Zhou Zong was thinking, several people had already arrived in the hall, and in the hall, there were several futons, and in front of the futons were a few low tables, and there were several plates on the table, and the plates contained vegetables and some meat.

Zhou Zong looked at it strangely, is this to be eaten?

Several maids stepped forward slowly, holding crockpots in their hands, and placed them on the fire.

"Hehe, Zhou Situ, Commander Zhou, please sit down, let's talk while eating." Yang Lian said.

Zhou Hongzuo had already smelled the fragrance coming from the crockpot, and couldn't help twitching his nose, it was so fragrant, what was cooked in it?

Everyone sat down, Yang Lian naturally sat in the main seat, Zhou Situ sat in the guest seat first, and the rest of Zhou Hongzuo and several more important generals sat down one after another.

"As the saying goes, dog meat rolls three times, and the gods can't sit steadily. Yang recently hit a few dogs, let you taste them. Yang Lian said, opened the lid of the crockpot, the fragrance became more tangy, Yang Lian demonstrated, picked up the vegetables and put them in the crockpot to cook.

Although Zhou Hongzuo wanted food, when he thought of Yang Lian's treat, he didn't eat it for nothing, not to mention that he didn't know what was in the crockpot, and the special fragrance made him have a great appetite. Zhou Hongzuo is a military general, and he loves meat, he has not eaten or drunk well in the past few days, and he has grown gluttonous worms in his stomach, so he can't help but start eating.

Zhou Zong was a little more reserved, after all, his status was there.

Yang Lian ate slowly, and the maids stood beside everyone, adding wine from time to time.

Zhou Zong saw that everyone ate sweetly, and he couldn't help but eat it, the dog meat was very fragrant, Zhou Zong couldn't help but speed up, after eating, it was not enjoyable, and put the vegetables on the table into the crockpot, this way of eating is quite novel.

After eating for a while, Yang Lian put down his chopsticks and said, "Zhou Situ, how is this meal?" ”

Zhou Zongdao: "Yes, really good. ”

Yang Lian smiled quietly and said, "Zhou Situ, now that Hangzhou is besieged, Hangzhou is already in the bag. I don't know what good way Zhou Situ has to attack Hangzhou? ”

Zhou Zong thought about it carefully, and said that he didn't have any good way, so he had to ask: "Yang Jiedu, Zhou couldn't think of any way for a while, I don't know if Yang Jiedu has a good plan?" ”

Yang Lian said: "Hangzhou is the capital of Wu Yueguo, and it is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to capture it. Originally, with the advantage of our army, a long-term siege of Hangzhou was the best way, but now, it is not realistic. ”

"Why?" Zhou Zong blurted out.

Isn't it obvious that this question is too stupid to ask?

"Because of lack of food!" Yang Lian said, and emphasized, "In fact, not only Zhou Situ is short of grain, Yang is also short of grain, over the years, although Yang has been operating in Yanzhou, Yunzhou and other places, but the land in the north is relatively poor, and does not produce rice, wheat has eaten up the geographical advantages, and the harvest in the past two years is very low." Especially this time, Yang's handsome soldiers fought fiercely for half a year, and the food consumption was huge. ”

Zhou Zong couldn't help but nodded, he usually didn't think that at this time he understood how important it was to lack food.

"Moreover, transporting grain from distant Yanzhou and other places is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and Yang's grain is about to run out. If the food runs out, this effort will be in vain, Zhou Situ, what do you think? Yang Lian asked.

Zhou Zong nodded and said yes, since Yang Wu, including the Tang Dynasty, there has never been today's results, the soldiers besieged Hangzhou, to this point, no one in the Tang Dynasty wants to give up, but the truth is sometimes cruel.

"Yang Jiedu, what do you mean?" Zhou Zong couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple, we have to capture Hangzhou as soon as possible and return to the division in triumph." Yang Lian said.

Zhou Zong groaned slightly, and said, "Yang Jiedu, you mean, attack the city as soon as possible?" ”

"Exactly, food is limited, and Hangzhou must be taken before the food runs out. A large amount of grain must have been hoarded in the city of Hangzhou, and the crisis of our army would be lifted. Yang Lian said.

Zhou Zong couldn't help nodding, Yang Lian's meaning was already obvious, the question was how to attack the city?

"Zhou Situ, I have already written a plan, Zhou Situ may wish to take a look, if you agree, you will do so." Yang Lian said and handed over a letter.

Zhou Zong took it and took it apart, it was full of fonts he didn't recognize, but this kind of character was very good-looking. Zhou Zong looked sideways slightly, and Yang Lian's font gave him a new understanding of Yang Lian. Zhou Zong quickly read the letter and groaned slightly. He knew that Yang Lian did not have many infantry troops, and his advantage was the water division, although the Hangzhou water division was almost lost, but he still had a certain strength. Therefore, the two divided labor, Zhou Zong had many armies, and it was up to him to attack Hangzhou City. Yang Lian used the sailor division to further block the contact with Wu Yueguo's sailors, especially the sailors entering the canal to cut off the reinforcements that might arrive from Suzhou and Xiuzhou.

Such a plan seems to be very unfavorable to Zhou Zong, but Yang Lian proposed to give him grain, a total of 10,000 stones, but Yang Lian's food is not much, so he can only give 5,000 stones first, and after a few days, the grain in Haizhou arrives, and Yang Lian will pay the rest.

The important thing is that since the two are in a cooperative relationship at this time, Yang Lian's grain will not be taken a penny, provided that Zhou Zong acts according to the plan.

Generally speaking, this is considered to be taking what they need, capturing Hangzhou, and everyone sharing the wealth and credit, why not? Zhou Zong thought about it and decided to promise Yang Lian that for the sake of food, and it was free food, he would rather choose to attack Hangzhou, anyway, these are the main forces of the forbidden army, and he will hurt if he dies, and he even thinks that these forbidden troops are all dead, which is conducive to his plan.

"Yang Jiedu's plan is good, the old man agreed." Unconsciously, Zhou Zong's title has changed.

Yang Lian didn't mind, and agreed with a smile, the two reached an agreement verbally, the siege of the city was between these two days, and Yang Lian would also let the soldiers send five thousand stone of food over tomorrow. Zhou Zong seemed a little nervous, afraid that Yang Lian would not agree, and he was also afraid that the grain would be robbed by Qian Hongyu again, so he immediately said that he would send troops to receive the grain.

After the matter was negotiated, the two got acquainted and seemed to be very familiar, but both of them knew that it was just their own use.
