"I see, I see, so-and-so said, why did the stronghold suddenly turn to ashes overnight, why can't any of you find it, I can't imagine that there is such an inside story in this." Yu Feihu sighed.

"By the way, after so many years, do you know who did it to you in the first place, and whether there are other survivors in the entire 'Elite Hall' besides you."

"I don't know, if the party captain is alive, he may know something, the little one was just an ordinary disciple of the 'Elite Hall', except for training, he doesn't know anything else, let alone the traces of the enemy, as for whether there are others." Elite Hall's disciples, this little one is not clear, in order to be able to survive, we were all scattered and left, so many years, after the small one returned to his hometown, he has been hiding carefully, for fear of being found by the enemy, let alone contacting other companions, if it wasn't for the fact that he happened to meet the military advisor today, the little one would not report his identity. Yan Ming showed a look of decadence and annoyance on his face, and said lightly.

His face was decadent, but he was secretly glad in his heart, and he also admired Duan Jian in his heart.

In fact, all of this was a strategy that Duan Jian had discussed with him, and all of this was due to Su Wan'er, the Holy Sect Master.

The so-called 'Elite Hall' was a training institution secretly set up by Ding Mian in order to cultivate his cronies and elite forces in the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the original director of this institution was Yu Feihu.

At the beginning, the 'Elite Hall' was quite smooth, and it did cultivate a group of talents for Ding Mian, but the good times didn't last long, and one night, the 'Elite Hall' was suddenly attacked by someone, and suffered heavy losses, the party captain in charge of the 'Elite Hall' was killed on the spot, and the rest of the 'Elite Hall's children were all missing, except for the dead.

This sudden blow caused Ding Mian to suffer huge losses, and in the later fierce competition within the Heavenly Dao Sect, this matter was over, but for Yu Feihu, this matter has always been a hurdle in his heart.

This matter may be an unsolved mystery to Ding Mian or Yu Feihu, but to Su Wan'er, it is nothing, because this incident back then was what she ordered the Xuanwu Hall disciples in the hands of Aunt Xia to do.

Among the four halls of the Heavenly Dao Sect, although the Xuanwu Hall looks inconspicuous, it is only an agency responsible for spying on intelligence, but this institution is the most critical one, otherwise, Su Wan'er would not have been able to resist Ding Mian's seizure of power with the support of the Xuanwu Hall.

After the disciples of Xuanwu Hall found out about this matter, Su Wan'er decided to eradicate the 'Elite Hall' in advance in order to avoid raising tigers, and sure enough, after eradicating the 'Elite Hall', it did play a very big role in fighting Ding Mian.

And now everything Yan Ming said was obtained from the mouths of those captured 'Elite Hall' disciples at the beginning, which is also the reason why Yan Ming's words made Yu Feihu convinced, of course, in addition to these, Yan Ming's superb acting skills are also indispensable.

"Okay, good, good, after so many years, you haven't forgotten the original intention of the 'Elite Hall', which is also commendable, the things of the year, it is a debt to you, and today I have a fate to see you again, in addition to the fact that now is a good time for my Holy Sect and the Prime Minister to make contributions, it is the time to employ people, and I dare not guarantee otherwise, as long as you are loyal to the Holy Religion and the Prime Minister, you will be prosperous and rich in the future, and you will always be indispensable in glorifying your ancestors." Yu Feihu appeased Yan Mingdao.

"Thank you to the military advisor, thank you to the military advisor, the grace of the military advisor, the small one will never forget, the small one must be loyal to the Holy Religion, loyal to the Prime Minister, for the Holy Religion, for the Prime Minister's meritorious service, I will not hesitate." Yan Ming pretended to be grateful and said.

"Strategist, the little one just has a big thing to tell you now." After thanking him, Yan Ming said in a timely manner, he understood that it was impossible to really deceive Yu Feihu just by relying on his previous affection, so he had to take the opportunity to increase his chips.

"Oh, what's the matter, it has something to do with Yangzhou City." When Yu Feihu heard this, he asked with a shocked spirit, speaking of which, this is also something he has always wanted to know, and he originally planned to use other means to get it from Yan Ming's mouth, but now it seems that this matter can be easily done.

"The military advisor is really the first smart person in the Holy Sect, yes, this matter is about Yangzhou City, and it is the news that the little one got from the chatting soldiers of the Tang Army after he was brought to the city by the Tang Army." Yan Ming said.

"Tell me quickly, what is the matter, if it can be determined, you are the first to capture Yangzhou City, and in the future, in front of the prime minister, I will definitely ask for credit for you." Yu Feihu walked up to Yan Ming excitedly and asked eagerly.

"Returning to the military division, the little one learned from the mouths of those soldiers that they would abandon the city and flee in the middle of the night in three days." Yan Mingdao.

"What, what do you say, this...... How is this possible, how is this possible........ aren't they good, why would they abandon the city and leave, this is impossible! Yu Feihu exclaimed.

Looking at the frightened Yu Feihu, Yan Ming said, "Don't blame the military advisor, don't you see that the defense of Yangzhou City is stoic now, and they have insisted on our army's continuous siege of the city, but you don't know that it is just the surface, now in Yangzhou City, there is no regular army for a long time, and the people who are responsible for resisting are the people in the city, and these days of defense, even the people have suffered heavy casualties, it can be said that if it continues to fight like this, the entire Yangzhou City will soon become a dead city, And now the people in the city are extremely dissatisfied with the government, which is why they want to break through. ”

"I see."

After hearing Yan Ming's explanation, Yu Feihu nodded secretly, you must know that through these days of fighting, both Li Minghe and Yu Feihu have discovered that although the resistance of Yangzhou City is tenacious, it is very different from the resistance at the beginning, and they also judged that this is the reason for the weakening of the defensive strength in the city, but they don't know that the defensive strength in the city is already so weak, if it is really like Yan Ming said, it is very possible that they will abandon the city and flee.

"In this case, why don't they choose to surrender, you know, even if they abandon the city at night and flee, how far can their group of old and weak soldiers escape, aren't they afraid of being swept away by us?" Although he had an idea in his heart, Yu Feihu still asked.

Listening to Yu Feihu's self-muttering, Yan Ming looked up, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Strategist, I have a little opinion about this smile, but I don't know if it's right or not, and I don't dare to talk nonsense in front of Strategist." ”

"Oh, you have an idea, you can talk about it, whether it's right or wrong, so-and-so won't blame you." As soon as Yan Ming's words were said, Yu Feihu became a little interested.

"Military advisor, the little one thinks so, when the little one was in the city, he also talked to the Tang soldiers and the people who were guarding it, and most of them complained a little bit about the government, but they complained to complain, they have also killed and injured so many of our brothers these days, and the government has publicized us extremely terrifyingly, saying that after we attack the city, we will definitely slaughter the city, so even if they know that abandoning the city and fleeing is a life of death, they are still unwilling to attack our army."

After listening to Yan Ming's explanation, Yu Feihu also agreed in his heart, and at the same time looked at Yan Ming a few times, at the beginning, he just had a good impression of Yan Ming because he was a disciple of the 'Elite Hall', and now through this answer, he can see that this disciple is still a little smart, and his love for him in his heart has become higher and higher, and he has a bit of cultivation.

"Okay, very good, this, your name is Yan Ming, it's very good, it deserves to be the elite of the 'Elite Hall', if the situation is really as you said, we will not only be able to successfully take Yangzhou City this time, but also be able to catch Yangzhou City in one fell swoop, this is a great merit, I think so, you don't want to go elsewhere, just be a staff officer with the army here, you see how it is." Yu Feihu said.

Hearing this, Yan Ming was overjoyed and saluted Yu Feihu and said, "Thank you to the military advisor, the junior brother will definitely act on the orders of the military advisor in the future, and the sword will never change." ”

……………………….

Three days later, at 10 o'clock in the evening

Because it has entered summer, all kinds of mosquitoes, snakes and ants have escaped, and the originally silent wild is also full of various insect songs.

Outside the eastern city of Yangzhou, three miles away from the city wall, black shadows shuttled among the lush grass, making the originally loud sound of insects also stopped.

"Yu Jianjun, is your news accurate, you must know that the military affairs can not tolerate the slightest negligence, in case the Tang Army did not choose here, but chose other city gates, this will be very bad."

On a high slope, Li Minghe stood there, looking at Yangzhou City, which was somewhat vague in the distance, and said to Yu Feihu beside him.

"Hahaha, although the general can rest assured, I can assure you that this news is foolproof, as for whether you can really catch those who go out of the city, it's up to the general, I just hope that the general won't do useless work after working hard like before." Because Yu Feihu was too proud, he didn't have the cautious appearance of the past, and there was a bit of mockery in his tone.

"Hmph, there is no need for Yu Jian Jun to worry about the above things in this war, how to do it, a certain one has its own measure." After finishing speaking, Li Minghe flicked his sleeves and walked into the distance.

"Phew, I really don't know how to lift, I can't do it, and I dare to be so blind, sooner or later I will let you eat a certain knife." Looking at Li Minghe who was going away, Yan Ming, who had been following Yu Feihu, suddenly jumped out and said.

"Okay, it's almost time, Tang Jun is probably going to come out soon, so it's better for us to prepare in advance." said so, but for Yan Ming's behavior of protecting the lord like this, Yu Feihu was still extremely satisfied in his heart.

………………………….

Just when the Heavenly Daoist army outside the city was preparing to ambush, the Tang army in the city was also ready for battle.

All the remaining soldiers and young men in Yangzhou City were all armed, even so, there were less than 5,000 people, of which there were 3,000 people who belonged to the disaster victims led by Meng Zhong, and Yangzhou City was at its most prosperous, the permanent population was as many as 30,000 people, according to one-fifth of the male to calculate, these days of fighting, Yangzhou City lost two-thirds of the men, it can be said that every family is wearing filial piety, every household is crying.

"Di Yushi, Duan Dudu, although it has come to this point, but a certain still feels that this matter is too risky, open the city gate and let the rebels enter the city, although we can take advantage of the chaos to raid the rebels, but the rebels are numerous, in case the rebels resist, we are afraid that the city will really be destroyed." It was Dong Haozhi who spoke, as a literati from Jinshi, although Dong Haozhi was not powerless, but in this kind of decisive killing, he was still a little less decisive.

"Hahahaha, don't worry about Dong Yuanjun, these days, we have a very good understanding of the situation of the rebels, the previous 60,000 rebels, now less than 40,000 people can really fight, and after these days of fighting, the rebels have long been sleepy, and the combat effectiveness that can really be exerted is less than half, plus most of the rebels are farmers, it is okay to let them fight the SF battle in peacetime, but if they really encounter a sudden attack, they are afraid that they will disperse in a hurry.

And on our side, countless traps and traps have already been arranged in the city, just waiting for the rebels to enter the city, outside the city, although we are not many in number, but we are all elite soldiers, much stronger than the rebels, in addition they are all new forces, our chances of winning can at least reach eighty percent, such a high odds of victory, Dong Yuanjun still need to worry? Duan Jian lay on the bed and said with a smile.

"Yes, this is extremely neutral, since ancient times, there is no absolute chance of winning on the battlefield, before the two sides fight, no one knows who wins and who loses, otherwise, there will not be so many examples of winning more with less in history, Dong Yuanjun just sit-in with peace of mind tonight, before dawn, the rebels will be wiped out, and the danger of Yangzhou City can also be lifted." Di Renjie continued Duan Jian's words.

After listening to the words of the master and apprentice, although Dong Hao was still a little uneasy in his heart, it was no longer so obvious. Besides, now, even if he wants to regret it, it can't be done, and the real confrontation has begun.

Yangzhou City, at the East City Gate

Meng Zhong stood at the head of the city, watching the incense burn little by little, when the last bit of light flickered for a while, and disappeared completely, Meng Zhong stood up, looked at the soldiers standing beside him and said, "The hour has come, light the torch." ”

At the sound of an order, the originally dim city head suddenly lit up countless torches, and for a while, the entire city head was like daylight, not only dazzling the eyes of the Tang army above the city head, but even the Tiandao Sect rebels who were ambushed outside the city were also startled.

"What's wrong, what's wrong with Yangzhou City, why did it suddenly become so bright, there must be something wrong."
