"I already know what your master means."

Lin Zhengyang slowly spoke:

"But—"

His words slammed down, and he could hear the middle-aged man kneeling below, and his heart was agitated, and he unconsciously held his breath.

"That's not enough!"

"I want to see sincerity! Not only the Zhen family, but also the sincerity of the Yangzhou family! ”

The middle-aged man's mouth was bitter.

Before he left, he was instructed to do something cheap.

Bottom Line······· There is just no bottom line.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, the difference in their status and strength is too great.

With them without them, it will not affect the Han army to capture Yangzhou.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Wu army is not the opponent of the Han army.

At first, relying on the water army, he could barely fight back and forth.

However, since the formation of the encirclement, the naval army has been powerless.

The whole Yangzhou is already panicked.

If it weren't for the old Wu Hou's many years of accumulation, it would not be just such a few people who would have surrendered to Cheng at this time.

It's a pity that Wu Hou is old, and his descendants seem mediocre, and now he is gradually unable to suppress the situation.

In this case, it was only a matter of time before the Han army wanted to take Yangzhou.

This middle-aged man can be selected as the messenger, bypass the Wuhou Pass all the way, and successfully reach Lin Zhengyang, he is naturally a first-class smart person······· But all who are stupid will die a thorough death.

At that moment, he spoke with difficulty:

"Villain······· Before the villain left, the master had a remark, which can be said that Du Zicheng, the deputy governor of the Yangzhou Water Division, defected. ”

Lin Zhengyang became interested.

Yangzhou Naval Division, about 50,000 people, more than 600 warships, with one metropolitan governor and two deputy governors.

Du Zicheng has a lot of authority and can mobilize more than 10,000 people.

This man is critical.

Jingzhou Water Division, when Lin Zhengyang was under his command, had more than 37,000 people, and these days he has recruited some water thieves, but he can only barely make up 40,000 people.

That's it, there are still some good and bad, and the combat effectiveness can't go up for a while, and it can't compare with the elite of Yangzhou Sailors.

There's no way around it.

When the Jingzhou sailors went south, if they were really elite enough, they would not be crippled.

Skilled arms such as sailors are not as good as others, and they are very slow to replenish.

Without years of training, it is easy to train elite sailors.

This period is measured in 10 years.

If it is a real navy that can sail the seas, this standard is even stricter.

Therefore, if he can really persuade Du Zicheng to surrender, he will be able to pull away more than 100 boats in an instant, which will be a huge blow to the Yangzhou sailors.

That's a bit of sincerity.

“········ Not enough! ”

Lin Zhengyang weighed it carefully.

"Your master wants the head of Wu Hou, which makes me very embarrassed!"

"It must be known that Marquis Wu is a former dynasty clan after all, and he has been governing Yangzhou for decades, protecting the territory and the people, and stabilizing the place, which can also be regarded as a credit to Yangzhou, if he is willing to surrender, it is impossible for me to disobey the will of the people in the world and execute him."

"The weight of your master is far less than that of Wu Hou."

"I exchanged letters with Wu Hou a few days ago, and I know his intentions, and Wu Hou seems to have remorse········"

Lin Zhengyang revealed a little bit of tone.

Immediately, the men in the hall were cold in their hearts.

Then it became more and more bitter.

That's the reality.

After all, Wu Hou is an old prince, and his influence is not comparable to the Zhen family.

Once he is the first prince to surrender, as the king of the Han Kingdom, Lin Zhengyang will inevitably be well settled, and it is impossible to treat him lightly.

Even if it is out of the intention of buying horse bones, making an appearance for the world to see, it is still necessary to do it in place.

Therefore, Lin Zhengyang has been looking forward to Wu Hou's voluntary surrender.

When Wu Hou was in Dayan, he was regarded as the first batch of strong Tibetans, who ruled for decades, from the governor of Yangzhou all the way to turn public into private, and operated the foundation of Wu State, which itself can be and prestige, and is a rich asset.

If he can be forced to surrender, he will be able to shake the world and greatly enhance his own reputation.

Especially if this opening is opened, it will be much smoother to recruit rebels in the future.

Don't say anything, Yangzhou is rich, it has been peaceful and stable for decades, and the treasury is full.

If you get Yangzhou, you will instantly get the family business accumulated by Wu for decades, and you will have the money and grain to conquer the north.

This is also the reason why Lin Zhengyang had to attack Yangzhou first.

It's not just about unifying the South.

It's just that Wu Hou is a hero in the end, and the fierce spirit of old age seems to have not been dissipated, and he refused to give a word for a long time.

Although Lin Zhengyang had expected it, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

So at this time, just throw it out and apply pressure.

"This, this ·······"

The middle-aged man's head was sweating urgently, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke:

"It is difficult for the villain to give an accurate word for a while, but presumably the master will give His Majesty an answer."

"Really? Don't let me wait too long, my army will have a decisive battle with Wu Hou soon, I hope to see sincerity soon·······"

Lin Zhengyang didn't expect much from this.

Left and right are just an idle move, and now, no matter who they are, they can't stop the footsteps of the army under his command.

·············

Half a day later, Lin Zhengyang was on the edge of a port, inspecting his own navy.

The harbor is planted with willow trees, whose shadows are reflected in the water.

The water is crystal clear and cool.

On the water, warships with sails are moving back and forth.

Leng Dongliu was wearing a plain silver scribe's uniform, and stepped forward to persuade:

"Your Majesty, it's windy here, so it's better to go to the attic elsewhere and watch."

Behind him, a large row of officials waiting for him to meet him, black pressed in several columns.

There were officials of the sailors, as well as officials from the ports and even neighboring counties.

"Your Majesty, the royal industry is difficult, you still have to take care of the dragon's body."

"The rise and fall of this country is all tied to His Majesty alone."

"Please also take care of the common people, take care of yourself."

At this point, Lin Zhengyang himself is not only himself, but also directly related to the rise and fall of a country.

That's why Leng Dongliu used this to persuade him.

"The king's industry is difficult, and I know it, but if Jiangnan can't be pacified in time, the grain in the rear will be a little tight."

"When the army moves, people eat horses and chew, and the daily consumption is thrilling."

"Aiqing, I'm really worried, how to fight, how to lose less, it's all something I'm worried about."

"If you go out to fight vigorously, it is inevitable that you will lose your troops and generals, and you are afraid that you will lose Yangzhou and lose more than you gain!"

A lot of the time, there are all kinds of scruples.

When he was in this position, he knew that he was in a dilemma.

If you don't fight, you can't; I beat it, and I was afraid that it would be broken.

Therefore, at this time, how eager he was, Wu Hou could understand the general situation, understand the righteousness, and obediently give up Yangzhou.

It's a pity that Wu Hou still seems to be lucky, thinking that he can be in one place.

If you don't really convince him, expect him to give up the inheritance on his own, I'm afraid I can't.

It was only at this time that Lin Zhengyang truly understood Sun Tzu's Art of War.

"The law of the husband and the soldier, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second.

Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good of the bad is also good; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good.

Therefore, the army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city. ”

Lin Zhengyang finished reading this paragraph in Sun Tzu's Art of War, and then said with heartfelt emotion:

"Sun Tzu's words are the true meaning of a soldier."

"Aiqing, I really hope that I can get a complete Eyangzhou!"
