The blood-washed Suzhou City is extraordinarily quiet and deserted.

Although Ye Yu ordered the slaughter of the 10,000 surrendered soldiers, he did not commit any crimes against the people of Suzhou, and all the required expenses were paid by the Suzhou government inventory.

After a day of rest in the Suzhou army, Ye Yu led the army to continue to march to Xingqing Mansion!

"Your Highness, did you really let that Pinch Hetai serve as the guard general of Suzhou?" On the way to the march, Guo Xiaotian has always complained about Ye Yu's arrangement to let Jian Hetai serve as the main general of the city guard.

Ye Yu glanced at Guo Xiaotian, and then asked, "What, Xiaotian, do you think it's inappropriate?" ”

"It's hard to determine whether this person is really willing to surrender, even if he is so loyal, but such an ungrateful person who stabs him in the back is very despised!"

Wu Yuechan on the side also spoke: "Yes, besides, even if His Highness wants to recruit this person, he can also be promoted with our army and hand over the heavy responsibility of guarding Suzhou to our people, otherwise it will ......"

Before Wu Yuechan's words were finished, Ye Yu took over the conversation: "Otherwise, in the future, this person's heart will change, and then take advantage of the situation to cut off the back road of our army, so that our army will become an unsustainable lone army on the vast way to Xingqing Mansion?" ”

"Your Highness Mingjian, since Your Highness knows that it is so important, why do you want to do this? Our army has given up a lot of siege weapons and grain and grass, if there is a problem at this pass in Suzhou, then the grain and grass will not be able to continue......"

What the two of them said was reasonable, but Ye Yu didn't care, but looked at Xin Qiji: "Jiaxuan, what do you think?" ”

"How dare the last general have any lofty opinions, in fact, His Highness has already planned, we just need to follow the order......"

Xin Qiji's calmness and restraint made Ye Yu very appreciative in his heart, but Guo Xiaotian and Wu Yuechan were still puzzled.

Xin Qiji saw that the two of them were still guilty, so he immediately shook his head and said, "Do you still remember the incident in Suzhou City, where His Royal Highness ordered Hetai to massacre 10,000 party soldiers?" ”

"Oh, you mean ......"

Although this move is too cruel, it is a great opportunity to stand up for the party. At the same time, His Royal Highness's move is also to completely force Kneada Tai to a dead end, just imagine an executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of the same clan, even if he wants to rebel, who is willing to echo! ”

"I see, I'm so stupid, I didn't even think of this layer!" After Xin Qiji's explanation, Guo Xiaotian suddenly came to his senses.

As Wu Yuechan, who suddenly understood at the same time, although she didn't say anything, she was ashamed when she looked at Ye Yu again, because she also misunderstood Ye Yu's original intention.

Listening to everyone's words, Ye Yu never said anything, until everyone finally stopped the topic, Ye Yu laughed softly: "Jiaxuan, how are your chess skills?" ”

"Chess?"

Xin Qiji suddenly heard this question, and was stunned for a moment, because this question was asked without warning.

But it was only a moment of stunned, and then he smiled bitterly and said ashamedly: "The last general understands a little ......"

"Just a little bit of it? But this king heard Brother Chen often say, Jiaxuan, you are a poetry and a game! ”

"Well, when it comes to chess skills in front of His Royal Highness, who dares to talk about the word stunt, His Highness played a game in the capital back then, but it made the world's chess players look up to the mountains......"

Xin Qiji's praise came from the heart, at least during the period of contact between him and Ye Yu, whether it was dealing with the world or marching and arranging, Xin Qiji's detached attitude of strategizing had completely convinced Xin Qiji.

However, Ye Yu directly ignored these, but said earnestly: "Jiaxuan, in fact, you only see a corner of the situation in this game of chess, this kneading Hetai, this king keeps it useful~"

"Yes!"

Xin Qiji's heart sank when he heard this, and he secretly wondered if there was any other intention in this.

But perhaps, as Ye Yu said, he only saw a corner of the chess game, so he couldn't get a glimpse of the whole picture, so naturally he couldn't understand the deep intention of Ye Yu's move.

"As for the amount of grain and grass you said, when this king entered the territory of the party members, he did not plan to maintain the grain route along the way, and the warehouses of the states and counties along the way were not prepared for our army?"

"Hahaha, Your Highness is smart, his grandmother's, it's all looted!"

"But we are teachers of righteousness, how can we do that kind of ......"

Wu Yuechan obviously disapproved of Ye Yu's approach, which not only violated the regulations of the imperial court's military system, but also walked like a mountain bandit, which made Wu Yuechan, who was proud of the Wu family's famous family, somewhat unacceptable.

"It's a high-end nihilistic hypocrisy hat again!"

Ye Yu glanced at it coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "Jiaxuan, pass on the military order of the king, everywhere you pass along the way, but if you conquer the prefecture and county, don't kill innocents indiscriminately, everything you ask for will be withdrawn from the treasury of Cangli, if you disobey the military order and disturb the people, you will not be spared!" ”

"Yes!"

The army marched all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and in just ten days, it conquered several state capitals in succession.

During this period, it was also in accordance with Ye Yu's previous military orders, and the people of various state capitals were not guilty of any crime. It's just that the cangli treasury was looted very ruthlessly, and all the rice and grain money that could not be carried were distributed to the local people.

Nowadays, most of the people in various countries live together, so whether it is the Western Xia or the Jin Kingdom, some or even most of them are Han Chinese.

Therefore, although the large-scale invasion of the Song army was met with stubborn resistance from the Western Xia soldiers, it was not as difficult to appease the state capital after the war.

National loyalty and righteousness are all vain, what the people value is three meals a day, as for who is who is not, no one really analyzes it seriously, it is precisely Ye Yu who uses the money and grain stored in the state capital to help the poor people along the way, which has been praised by many people.

The production of this effect, in addition to the Han people's efforts to cater to, is also a strong temptation of money, food and clothing.

The people are simple and practical, and noble sentiments are not what they love.

At least, not beyond their lives and deaths!

Half a month later, the army hurried to the banks of the Heishui River, a river that was not famous, but for the Western Xia in the north, it was a rare source of water.

When the army arrived on the west bank of the Heishui River, it did not continue its march, but set up a military camp on the spot.

"Your Highness, the spies just came to report that the defense on the other side of Heishui has been strengthened, and the 80,000-strong army guards the various rivers of the Heishui River, and now there is not even a single fishing boat on the entire Heishui River bank!"

"Well, you can't cross the Black Water without a boat!"

"Your Highness, the last general will go down and order to collect ships around so that we can cross the black water as soon as possible!"

Xin Qiji was just about to prepare to go down, but was directly rejected by Ye Yu: "No need, you first arrange for the army to camp on the spot and rest for the night, and our army can cross this black water within three days~"

"Uh...... Please forgive the general for being stupid, as the saying goes, it is difficult to sail without sails, and it is difficult to cross the river without boats, which ...... Our army marched lightly and hastily this time, and there was no equipment for ships to ride, and the last general was really ......"

Ye Yu didn't explain, but said vaguely: "You don't need to say much, just do what you order!" ”

"Yes! The end will be retired! ”
