Hangzhou City, the boulder fell on the city wall, the smashed female wall trembled slightly, the stone chips kept falling, and soon, the head of Hangzhou City was full of round boulders. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

More than 100 catapults of the Tang army continued to bombard, and after two hours of hard work, the female wall at the head of Hangzhou had been partially flattened, and there was not a single defender on the city wall, all of them stood far away from the Tang army's attack range, silently watching all this.

Qian Hongyu pursed his lips, his face was pale, the Tang army's catapults were too powerful, and the range was long, the crossbowmen couldn't hurt them at all, in terms of power, in just two hours, the city wall was in shambles, and the city tower was also crumbling, and it could collapse at any time.

Qian Hongyu's gaze swept over the ministers, and the word fear was written on everyone's faces, the Tang Army's catapult was too powerful, beyond their imagination. If the troops in Hangzhou are sufficient, it is possible to attack and destroy the catapults of the Tang army, but the Wu Yue army has just been defeated, and the Wu Jiedu made Qian Wenfeng captured, the military department Shangshu was captured, Zheng Guogong Wu Yanfu was captured, and most of the generals in the army were also killed, especially the death of Zhao Chengtai, which made the lack of good generals Wu Yueguo even worse.

"Guys, what now?" Qian Hongyu said slowly, every time he spit out a word, it was very difficult. Those boulders were not smashed on the city wall, but on his heart, when things came to this point, where will the Qian family go? Do you really want to surrender? If this is the case, he is a sinner of the Qian clan and a sinner of Wu Yueguo, and he really can't bear such a big crime.

The ministers looked at each other, what can the current situation be, what else can it be? The food was exhausted, Yuhang was defeated, the army was panicked, and the people were uneasy. The Tang army also used powerful catapults to bombard continuously, which made the people in Hangzhou even more frightened.

Lin Ding looked at the courtiers around him, and saw that they were all embarrassed, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "King, if you want to stick to Hangzhou, it's not impossible. ”

Qian Hongyu's eyes lit up and said, "Lin Aiqing, what do you mean?" ”

"King, although the Tang army has achieved a great victory, its strength is still insufficient, otherwise the Tang army would have attacked the city at this time instead of using catapults to bombard continuously. The Tang army just wanted to force the king to surrender. Lin Ding said.

Qian Hongyu felt that Lin Ding's words were reasonable, but then again, how can he stick to it? There is already a shortage of food in Hangzhou, which can last for two months at most. After two months, what to do?

Wu Yanfu was on the side, with bitterness on his face, he was first captured, and now he was released back by Yang Lian, and the implication was already obvious. Wu Yanfu glanced at Lin Ding, hesitated, and said, "But how to keep the current situation?" ”

Lin Ding said: "Zheng Guogong, as long as you have a heart, there is nothing difficult in the world." In Huzhou, Suzhou, Xiuzhou and other places, there are still some soldiers and horses, so it is better to go all out to support Hangzhou. Lin Ding said that he was an old minister of Wu Yueguo, and he followed Qian Biao to fight back then, and he really couldn't bear to see Wu Yueguo perish.

Wu Yanfu smiled bitterly and said, "But without food, how can the three armies support it?" ”

Lin Ding seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, so he said: "Although the Taicang treasury was burned, there are still many grain merchants in Hangzhou, and they still have enough food in their hands, as long as they are allowed to donate food, they can support it for at least half a year." ”

"Giving food?" Wu Yanfu shook his head, how is this possible?

"The king is blessed all over the world, and it is a good thing and an honor for those businessmen to serve the king. If they don't dare to disobey and use force, who will dare to resist? Lin Ding said, his eyes revealing a burst of killing intent.

Qian Hongyu was silent, pacing slowly, his eyes swept over the ministers, most of the courtiers had a trace of fear in their eyes, obviously in this battle, the fiasco of Wu Yuejun gave them a huge shadow, Tang Jun or Yang Lian is too cunning, if he continues to fight, who knows if Yang Lian will have any tricks?

Qian Hongyu was unwilling, but looking at the lifeless appearance of the ministers, he didn't have much confidence in himself. What Lin Ding said may be a solution, but I'm afraid it's more just a matter of lingering, and the transfer of soldiers and horses from Huzhou, Suzhou and other places means that these places will have little resistance, and the Tang Army is obviously even more unlikely to give up under such an advantage.

Qian Hongyu sighed, his brows furrowed, at this time, in the direction of the city tower, there was a loud noise, it turned out that the city tower was overwhelmed, under the bombardment of the Tang army, it fell down with a bang, fell under the city gate, wood was scattered all over the ground, and bricks and tiles were everywhere.

Qian Hongyu's face changed, and the city tower fell, as if it was a wake-up call to him, which made his heart tighten, and he couldn't help but think of Wu Yanfu's words, Yang Lian's conditions were not very generous, but they were not particularly mean, could it be said that they really wanted to agree?

Qian Hongyu slowly paced and thought. At this time, the Tang army outside the city was still busy and nervous, under the leadership of Zhu Qi, the Tang soldiers kept carrying the cobblestone onto the catapult, and then threw it out, and the sound of the cobblestone falling on the city wall was trembling.

Yang Lian stood not far away, pointed to Hangzhou City trembling under the cobblestone, and asked, "Qian Jiedu, at this speed, how many days do you think Hangzhou City can be broken?" ”

Qian Wenfeng pursed his lips and was silent, he was surprised by the advantages of the Tang Army's equipment, but at this time, how could he admit defeat, so he shook his head disdainfully and said: "The city wall of Hangzhou is strong, and it is impossible to destroy the city wall. ”

However, as soon as Qian Wenfeng's words fell, he saw the city tower trembling and falling, and the sound of the bricks and tiles of the city tower breaking could be heard clearly even by the two people who were hundreds of steps away.

"Qian Jiedu, what I want is only to unify the south and unify Wu Yue, but not to kill Wu Yue, if Qian Hongyu surrenders, the conditions that Ben will say, even if the Son of Heaven refuses to fulfill it, Ben will be responsible to the end. It is sad that the country is ruined and the family is ruined, but it is best for people to live. Yang Lian was quite emotional.

Qian Wenfeng's heart moved, after the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was turmoil, and the generals in various places were unruly, and for the sake of interests, they often raised troops to replace them, and the old people of the previous dynasty were often wiped out. Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that after Li Yu captured Yang Wu Jiangshan, the Yang family was almost killed, and those who were lucky enough to not die were also imprisoned and lived a very desolate life.

Thinking of this, Qian Wenfeng asked: "Could it be that Yang Jiedu has feelings?" ”

Yang Lian glanced at him with some puzzlement, and said strangely: "What does Qian Jiedu mean by this?" ”

Qian Wenfeng chuckled lightly and said, "Yang Jiedu, you are Yang Lian, the old prince of the previous dynasty." ”

"Haha!" Yang Lian laughed out loud and said, "I don't know how much this sentence has been said to the general, and it has been tried several times, but God will prove it after all." ”

Qian Wenfeng thought carefully for a while, sighed lightly, and said: "Speaking of which, there is no way to talk about the things back then, the power is aside, Xu Wen and his son have already mastered the military power, although Xu Wen knows people, but he doesn't want to fall to the adopted son next to the power, after all, he made a wedding dress for the Li family." ”

Yang Lian replied lightly: "This world, after all, is the world of the Tang Dynasty, if Zizhi is restoring the order of the old Tang Dynasty today, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

Qian Wenfeng saw that Yang Lian avoided talking about it, and only said good things about the Tang Dynasty, and said: "Speaking of which, Qian once heard a rumor that Emperor Wu was a descendant of the Great Sui royal family, and the establishment of the Wu State was to restore the glory of the Great Sui. ”

"The rumors in the rivers and lakes are false after all." Yang Lian said, disapproving. Emperor Wu's health deteriorated rapidly and died soon after, but it was because Xu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty that Emperor Wu died of depression, what does it have to do with Yang Sui? If it really has a relationship, how could Emperor Wu end up depressed?

Qian Wenfeng was tempted for a while, and when he saw that Yang Lian's face remained unchanged, he stopped speaking tentatively.

At this time, a white flag was raised in the city of Hangzhou, Zhu Qi was stunned, walked quickly to Yang Lian's side, and asked: "Yang Jiedu, the white flag has been raised in the city of Hangzhou." ”

"Suspend the attack for a quarter of an hour, maintain the catapult, and see what Qian Hongyu wants to do first." Yang Lian commanded.

Zhu Qi left quickly, the Tang army stopped the bombardment, after a long time of ejection, the wear and tear of the catapult was very large, the Tang soldiers checked, replaced the worn parts, applied lard, and maintained them, waiting for the next attack.

In the city of Hangzhou, after some efforts, the soldiers cleared the rocks and debris on the streets, and the old minister Lin Ding took two or three people out of the city and rushed in the direction of the Tang army.

Yang Lian saw that there were only a few people, so he motioned to the soldiers and brought them over. Zhu Qi personally led people, searched for it, and after making sure that these people did not bring weapons, he only took Lin Ding to see Yang Lian.

Lin Ding came over and saw that Qian Wenfeng was also on the side, looked him up and down, and saw that he looked depressed, and couldn't help but say, "How is Qian Jiedu?" ”

Qian Wenfeng nodded and said, "It's good." ”

Yang Lian sneered, and looked at Lin Ding, Lin Ding looked at least sixty years old, except for gray hair and some wrinkled skin, the whole person looked very energetic, with a straight waist, and seemed to be a military general.

"Ben will not be a murderer, and he can't afford to be a loser." Yang Lian spoke lightly.

"It turned out to be Yang Jiedu, and the old Lin Ding was polite." Lin Ding said, saluting Yang Lian.

Yang Lian returned the salute and said, "Mr. Lin is here to be a lobbyist?" ”

Lin Ding smiled bitterly and said, "The old man asked himself if his eloquence was not as good as the longevity of the Zen master, how could he dare to persuade Yang Jiedu." ”

"Oh? So what is the matter with Mr. Lin here? Yang Lian asked.

Lin Ding saluted again and said, "The old decay is here to talk about surrender. ”

"In this way, Qian Hongyu agreed to the general's request." Yang Lian asked quietly.

Lin Ding said: "King Wuyue hopes to keep the wealth of the Qian family, and as for the treasury of the imperial court, Yang Jiedu can take it all." ”

Is this Qian Hongyu still a miser? Yang Lian remained silent and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"As for the rest, King Wu Yue can remove the title, and only hope to be a rich man in Jinling, and no longer ask about the affairs of the world." Lin Ding said.

Yang Lian laughed and said: "The Qian family has Wu Yue for decades, and the wealth accumulated is tens of thousands, and Wu Yue has the advantage of shipping, and trades with countries such as the Wa Kingdom and Dashi, and the profits are even more amazing." Ben Jiang only needs half of his family wealth, in addition to offering the Tang Dynasty Emperor, but also to reward the three armies, and compensate the robes who died in battle, and he doesn't have much family wealth at all! If Qian Hongyu thinks that Ben will have too much, then wait for Ben to break through Hangzhou and then take it all! ”

Lin Ding saw that Yang Lian said firmly, and there was a faint posture that King Wu Yue was going to break through Hangzhou City if he didn't agree, and his heart suddenly hung up. Lin Ding looked at Yang Lian with some hesitation and said, "Yang Jiedu, this seems to be too much. ”

"It's really excessive, once the city of Hangzhou is broken and the rebels are plundering everywhere, it shouldn't be excessive." Yang Lian said.

Lin Ding was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, why is this Yang Jiedu always talking back? The rebels plundered in the city, and the Wuyue Palace, too, would definitely not be avoided, even the hundreds of officials in the court would suffer. Lin Ding sighed and said, "Since Yang Jiedu is so firm, the old man will not say much. When the old man left the city, King Wu Yue wrote a letter and explained that the old man brought it to Yang Jiedu. ”

Lin Ding said, reached out and took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Yang Lian. When Yang Lian took over to pick it up, Lin Ding suddenly quickly pulled out the hairpin from his head and stabbed at Yang Lian. The incident happened suddenly, Qian Wenfeng did not react, and neither did the surrounding Tang Army.

Yang Lian saw that Lin Ding suddenly moved, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a step back, where was Lin Ding willing to let go, he jumped on it with a hairpin in his hand, and his hair fell out because of the lack of hairpins.

Lin Ding is old after all, where is Yang Lian's strength? Yang Lian took a step back, and after dodging Lin Ding's attack, he saw that he rushed desperately, and the flaw was very big, so he immediately took a step to the right, raised his left hand, and slapped it towards Lin Ding's neck.

Lin Ding fell to the ground with a sigh, gnawed a mouthful of mud, and the hairpin in his hand flew far away.

At this time, the Tang soldiers around reacted and pounced one after another, and the long knife was on Lin Ding's neck.

Lin Ding laughed and said, "The old decay is just a remnant, I hate to serve the court, and I can't kill the dog thief!" ”

Yang Lian looked at him coldly, shook his head, and said: "Although Mr. Lin is loyal, he is too ignorant. King Wu Yue was also a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and now my lord is just recovering the lost land, Qian Hongyu raised his hand and surrendered, without losing his official wealth and wealth. You want to assassinate the general, but you are causing trouble for Qian Hongyu. ”

Lin Ding didn't care about Yang Lian's words, he was still scolding, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and all kinds of foul language came out one after another, Zhu Qi snorted coldly, and kicked out hard, hitting Lin Ding's waist, and the painful Lin Ding was lying on the ground and rolling over.

"Commander Zhu, he is also a poor man, send him back to the city." Yang Lian smiled faintly, if it was two years ago, he would definitely kill Lin Ding, but at this time, he suddenly felt that Lin Ding was not loyal, if there were such courtiers back then, how could the Yang Wu court destroy the country?

Zhu Qi nodded, stretched out his hand, grabbed Lin Ding, and shouted, "Count yourself lucky." Let's go, the military master will send you back to the city! ”

Lin Ding was kicked very badly, he covered his waist, slowly stood up, looked at Yang Lian hatefully, and said, "If you don't kill me, I will definitely take revenge one day." ”

"As far as your age is concerned, I'm afraid you won't survive that day." Yang Lian smiled faintly, waved his hand, and motioned for Zhu Qi to take him away.
