Chen Yanzheng's heart instantly stirred up waves, how could he have forgotten in his heart that he had written to Li Yu a few years ago. In that year, the Yangtze River and Huai River areas had bumper harvests year after year, and there was a surplus of military rations, Chen Yanzheng said: "Your Majesty is in Zhongxing, and now the north is in trouble, so we should send troops to the north to fight and restore the old territory of the Tang Dynasty." ”

But Li Yu replied: "I have lived in the military since I was young, and I see that the use of soldiers is very harmful to the people, and I can't bear to mention war again. Let his people be at peace, and my people will be at peace, and what will he ask for? ”

Baili Wuji saw that Chen Yanzheng bowed his head and was silent, so he continued to hit the railway while it was hot: "As soon as the wine stall was parted that day, it has been ten years, and millions of people in the sixteen states are being ravaged by the Khitan barbarians, can the general sit back and watch like this?" ”

Chen Yanzheng raised his head with a "sigh", then lowered his head again, and said: "If you don't want to, you can't." ”

Baili Wuji shouted: "For the sake of the general, I don't want to expel the foreign criminals, but I confront this king here, how shameless." ”

Chen Yanzheng was annoyed and angry, his face turned red and black, and he retorted loudly: "Isn't the same with the King of Chu, why don't you expel the foreign invaders, but come to invade the neighboring countries." ”

Baili Wuji said: "This king is helpless, he wants to go north to fight against the Khitan, but he was rejected by Shi Jin, and the road to the north of Chu is blocked. ”

Chen Yanzheng asked, "Does the King of Chu really have the heart to go north?" ”

Baili Wuji replied: "Heaven and earth are proof, and this king will do what he says." ”

Chen Yanzheng began to hesitate, so Baili Wuji added another fire, and said loudly: "General Chen has been abandoned for ten years, so he is not confused until now. Do you have to wait another ten years, half a hundred years to fight the Khitan thieves? ”

Chen Yanzheng was so excited that he gritted his teeth: "The King of Chu can let a certain leader go north at this time?" ”

"Three years later. This king will definitely go on a northern expedition. Baili Wuji said solemnly.

"Is that true?"

"Presumptuous, who is this king? General Chen doesn't know what to do? Baili Wuji was furious.

Chen Yanzheng gritted his teeth again. Whoosh jumped off the horse, hurried a few steps, came to the hundred miles of Mowgli horse, knelt down on one knee and said: "According to the king's words, a certain surrender." ”

Baili Wuji hurriedly dismounted, helped Chen Yanzheng up, and said: "If three years later, this king does not have a northern expedition according to his words, this king allows you to break away from Chu State." Going north on your own, how? ”

Chen Yanzheng dripped two tears and nodded again and again. Going north, Chen Yanzheng has been entangled in his heart for ten years, and now he has been guaranteed by Baili Wuji, how not to be excited, how not to shed tears.

Chen Yanzheng said: "The king, I want to recommend someone for the king." ”

"Speak."

"The Southern Tang Dynasty Longwu Army is waiting for Bian Hao, he is a friend who went south to Wu State. He is also a fierce general. ”

"Are you sure?" Baili Wuji hesitated, this Longwu Army is also a forbidden army, Chen Yanzheng can surrender because he has a wish to go north in his heart, and the Southern Tang Emperor can't satisfy him. In addition, there is this side of the relationship with Baili Wuji. And Bian Hao, this person, Baili Wuji has heard of it, although he is a fierce general. But if you are not a northerner, will you also yearn for the Northern Expedition?

Chen Yanzheng hesitated when he saw Baili Wuji. He said loudly: "The king does not have to hesitate, he is sure." Bian Hao's department was guarding the city in Jinling Mansion, and he went to Jinling with the king to persuade him to surrender. ”

Baili Wuji looked at Chen Yanzheng and said: "Since General Chen is so sure, then go and tell him that as long as he surrenders, he will not move his Longwu army." ”

"Yes."

"It's not good....... Peng Xiao, the commander of the Chu State Naval Division, led an army of 15,000 to attack Jinling Mansion. If the two armies were to fight, it would have killed many soldiers in vain. ”

"What? The Chu army has already arrived at the city of Jinling Mansion? Chen Yanzheng was shocked.

Baili Wuji didn't have time to explain, and quickly ordered the Chu army to march into Jinling Mansion, and ordered Chen Yanzheng to set off with the army, leaving the Shenwu army in Chizhou to stand by. and sent a messenger to rush to the outside of Jinling Mansion to stop Peng Xiao from attacking the city, and stood by on the spot.

All the way to the rapid march, due to the surrender of Chen Yanzheng's 25,000 Shenwu army, there was no Southern Tang army blocking the road from Chizhou to Hezhou to Jinlingfu.

On the march, Baili Wuji explained to Sun Yanzheng the layout of the simultaneous attack of the four Chu armies, and now Peng Xiao's troops should have occupied Jiangdu Mansion, and their subsequent target was Jinling Mansion.

Chen Yanzheng only realized at this time that he had blocked the hundred miles in Chizhou, and Jinling Mansion was surrounded by a large army, although there were 25,000 people from the Bian Ho Dragon Army to defend it, but I am afraid that there was no way to return to the sky.

Because Chen Yanzheng already knew the Dao, he had also seen Li Jianxun, the envoy of the Zhaowu Festival.

It is also known that the most prestigious Wuchang festival in the Southern Tang Dynasty has returned to Ezhou, and the demise of the Southern Tang Dynasty is just around the corner.

At this time, the battle report came that the Yunyang Department of the First Army had defeated the 20,000 troops of the Southern Tang Baisheng Jiedu and attacked Tingzhou. The Sixth Army's Wang Dingbao Department had occupied Quanzhou and attacked Changle Mansion.

……。

Five days later, Baili Wuji led an army to the city of Jinling Mansion.

From a distance, the city wall was densely covered with soldiers defending the city.

And outside the city, there are dense Chu army soldiers.

It seems that the two armies have been facing off for a long time.

At this time, Peng Xiao led an army stationed outside Jinling Mansion.

Seeing the arrival of the army, Peng Xiao came to meet him.

"Greetings to the king."

"Excuse me, how's the battle going?"

"Five days ago, the minister led a large army to attack Jiangdu Mansion, but he didn't expect Jiangdu Mansion to make Yin Chongyi surrender when he heard the wind. The next day, a certain led the army to the west, arrived at Jinling Mansion the night before yesterday, and was ready to attack the city early yesterday morning, but he did not expect the king's messenger to arrive, and ordered a certain to stand by. Since the dispatch of troops, he has not encountered a ...... World War I. ”

Peng Xiao looked unhappy.

But Baili Wuji looked happy, turned back to Chen Yanzheng and said, "General Chen, the matter of such persuasion will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes."

Chen Yanzheng left with his guards.

Baili Wuji ordered Peng Xiao to continue the siege and wait for the order.

That night, Chen Yanzheng did not return.

When he woke up, Chen Yanzheng still hadn't come back.

Waiting until noon, Bai Likang couldn't hold back anymore and said: "Why should the king wait, now the special operations army plus Peng Xiao's department, not to mention the assistance of Zhenliao, Zhenhe and the second ship, capture Jinling, and come easily." ”

Baili Wuji glanced at him and said: "If you can not fight, don't fight, what a good Jinling Mansion, how much money and manpower have been spent to build the city wall, a few cannons down, a ruin, when the king enters the city, you go to repair it?" ”

Bailikang quickly shut up.

Another half a day passed, and Chen Yanzheng still didn't come out.

Baili Wuji was silent on the surface, and his heart began to be anxious, not to say that he suspected Chen Yanzheng of changing his hexagram, but worried that Chen Yanzheng would encounter an accident. (To be continued......)
