Inside the wooden box, a newly made dark green sachet was lying quietly.

A foot of silk is as light as water, and it is embroidered with thousands of needles. Yang Shao washed his hands carefully first, then took them out and held them in his palm, and sniffed them deeply a few times, with a faint herbal fragrance lingering. He rubbed the sachet on his lips and kissed it lightly before hanging it on his waist and turned to read the letter.

The letter, as always, talks mostly about official affairs, what Xuzhou has seen and heard, how difficult the people's livelihood is, and so on. Yang Shao looked at the delicate Xiaokai, his eyebrows were gentle, and he read it word by word, eager to find a few sentences of acacia red beans, and only saw two couplets of poems until the end:

"The swallow grass is like bis, and the Qin mulberry has low green branches.

The spring breeze doesn't know each other, what is going on. ”

There is obviously an empty line between the two couplets, which is Yufu and he are dumb.

Yang Shao chuckled, this is Li Taibai's Yuefu poem "Spring Thoughts", the song book has a triptych, he stared at his eyebrows and recited it silently from the beginning, only to find that what was missing was the most sympathetic attachment:

"When the king returns to the sun, it is when the concubine breaks her bowels."

This is my heart.

Half a life of wind and rain, fearless and fearless, only a wife is cinnabar in her heart, Yang Shao still smiled at the corner of her lips, but her snort was slightly sour, and she took the letter into her arms for a long time.

Lovesickness has no solution, and only after winning the battle can he go back, and after a while, Yang Shao summoned his advisers and staff, and the commanders of each battalion discussed together.

Military discipline is suing, if Gonghuai Yin does not go to war for a day, the army will eat a day of white food, which is not a solution after many years. Yu private Yang Shao wanted to triumph as soon as possible, once it was done, he just wanted to race against time to rush to Xuzhou to meet Yufu.

However, in the current situation, the Yongjun army was afraid of the war, scolded and scolded, and the general was fruitless, and he still retreated in the city and did not come out. If you want to attack, it is not impossible, but when the time comes, it will inevitably kill and injure countless people, which of the Ming men is not a parent, a wife and a child, and he is not helpless, he really does not want to sacrifice more lives.

More than a dozen people sat around the army tent to express their opinions, but there were few useful strategies.

Yang Shao sat on the main seat, frowning and listening to the arguments of everyone in the hall.

"Zhao Er's cowardice is afraid of our army like a tiger, so he simply gave him an ultimatum, and then he stayed in the city, and when Lao Tzu killed him, he would slaughter his mother's city, and not one of the old and young would be left." Zang Shuanghu shouted loudly, and the evil was born to the side of the bold.

"Then aren't we as brutal as the Yongjun army in the past?" Han Guangce shook his head, "The prince will never agree." ”

"Why don't you pretend to talk about peace, and take advantage of Zhao Youli's arrival to tie him up and force him to surrender?" Wei Chi, the commander of the right military camp, said slowly.

"As far as Zhao Er's virtue, he dares to come to this Hongmen banquet?" Zang Shuanghu slapped his thigh, "Besides, if you were Yue Quan, would you believe that this was a true peace?" Zhao Er has no brains, and Yue Quan is not stupid! ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you just say what to do." Wei Chi was stunned, and he also became angry, "I want to burn Huaiyin City with a fire, can it be done?" ”

"I didn't think that we might be able to bypass Huaiyin and try to sneak attack Jinling." In the corner, a strategist spoke.

"How can the Yangtze River moat be crossed overnight?" Han Guangce frowned and said, "Mr. Cui's words are too whimsical. ”

"I thought ......," the man wanted to continue.

"Huaiyin is in the middle of the north and south, the waist of Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Yang Shaoben was disturbed by everyone, he only closed his eyes while listening, and heard the pointless argument of the strategist, so he interrupted him, "Let the hundreds of thousands of Yongjun army in Huaiyin City be left alone, let alone attack Jinling, the entire Huainan that has been captured is in danger." What you want is to encircle Wei to save Zhao, but in the end, you will only be smart and be mistaken by cleverness. ”

As soon as the coach spoke, the voice in the hall immediately thinned. Only Zang Shuanghu looked at Yang Shao, and then at everyone, and lowered his head and sighed: "Lord Wang, but it's really not a matter to drag on like this!" ”

There was silence under the tent, Yang Shao didn't speak, propped his arms on the rosewood armrest, and his ten fingers touched against his nose bone, and after a long time, Fang Cai Xingxing's eyes were heavy and asked: "This time, Tianfeng and Yongcang's main general, have any of you made friends?" ”

Pang Jun, the former commander of the military camp, had just learned that he had been beheaded by his generals, and he was also worried, fearful and hateful. In addition, before coming out, the teacher Liang Gu repeatedly told him that Yang Shao was an outsider in the end, and at this time, he obviously knew Tianfeng Chen Zhi, but he remained silent and watched coldly.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Yang Shao meant, and Li You, the strategist under the hall, slowly stood up and said: "When I was a Yongchen more than ten years ago, I sent an envoy to Yongcang, and I had several encounters with He Jin, the lord of Yongcang. I don't know the prince, what do you want to know? ”

"How is He Jin?" Yang Shao squinted his eyes and asked, Li You thought about it and said: "I understand that He Jin is a person with superb martial arts and also knows the art of war, but there are rumors in the market that he is afraid of guilt and lustful." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Wei Chi couldn't help but sneer: "A dignified manly husband, a brother is like a sibling, a woman is like a dress, what wife are you afraid of!" ”

Yang Shao glanced at him, Wei Chi felt that he shouldn't interject, and immediately shut up. As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhao Yunqing standing beside Yang Shao with a knife, looking at his nose and nose, looking at his heart, as upright as a piece of wood.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li You continued: "When I met him many years ago, He Jin was about thirty years old, and he was also handsome and chic. I heard that he relied on this good skin in his early years to marry Su Xian, the daughter of Prime Minister Yongcang Su, to achieve the position. ”

"It turned out that it was up to women to get on top." Yang Shao sneered.

"Not only that, but He Jin is also ungrateful between men and women." Li You paused and said, "Soon after he took the throne, he kept a few outer rooms outside the house without his wife, and even got into trouble with his wife because of this. Later, the king of Yongcang County said that he would give his favorite Lan Ji to death because of Prime Minister Su, he was afraid that it would affect his career, so he turned to the Su family in order to protect himself, and scolded in court that the girl was lowly and seduced to him as a way out. ”

"It's embarrassing to be in the position of a general, and Yongcang is really unmanned." After Yang Shao heard He Jin's affair, he laughed sarcastically and was full of disdain in his heart.

But disdain is contempt, and it is still necessary to seek things, Yang Shao looked at Li You and said unhurriedly: "But as Mr. said, his virtue is like this, it may not be a good thing for us." The suspicion in the doubt is better than the inside, and it is not self-defeating. Yongcang sent out 60,000 horses this time, if He Jin can be forced to rebel against the Yongjun, the inside and outside should be combined, but the situation can be opened. ”

"King Yang, what do you mean, anti-intrigues?" When everyone in the hall heard this, they immediately understood, and Wei Chi thought for a moment: "The prince is right!" The Yong Dynasty coalition army, the Yong army is 270,000, Tianfeng is 80,000, and Yongcang is 60,000, although it seems that the total amount is huge, but in the end, each is its master, rather than fighting with them under the city, it is better to find a way to muddy the water. ”

Han Guangce nodded and continued: "What Commander Wei said is that General Xiao Ding lured the enemy before, and I ambushed the troops to fight against the coalition forces, and the war was so fierce, and they did not save each other between the left and right flanks, and Duba hoped that the other side could take the lead in charging. At the time, I thought it was just a cowardly soldier who was afraid of death and war, but now I really look like I'm fighting on my own. ”

After hearing this, Zang Shuanghu slapped his chair and stood up and said, "There is no coach who can convince the public, isn't that it!" Brother Han, let's not say anything else, my military camp is absolutely integrated and can carry tough battles. They really made trouble on their own, and I am afraid that only my battalion can beat them down. ”

"Lao Zang, you obviously took over the cheap iron army from the prince, why are you embarrassed to blow it yourself." Wei Chi couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pat him and tease him, Commander Zang was not annoyed, but laughed: "Wei Chi, Lao Zang Sheng is Zang Shuanghu under the command of the prince, and death is the soul of the prince who killed the little ghost in front of him, what's wrong with blowing the prince's soldiers?" ”

"In the past, Tian Dan guarded Jimo and wanted to get rid of Yan General Le Yi, so he spread the rumor that Le Yi wanted to be king in Qidi, and King Yan Hui really hit the plan, so that he robbed the commodore general, and Le Yi had to drink and hate Zhao. He Jin can't compare to Le Yi, and Zhao Er is even more faint than King Yan. Yang Shao looked at the amiable generals in the hall and told this story, the meaning of which is self-evident.

"Since He Jin is cool and lustful," Han Guangce said with a smile, "then let's start with him and lure him back!" ”

"Zhao Er is stubborn and timid as a mouse, and now he is a frightened bird. Even if He Jin can't really force him, if he gives Zhao Er a clue, he will be suspicious. Yang Shaolang's starry eyes flashed with a sly smile, "When the time comes, it will be difficult for He Jin to ride a tiger, and this king will personally go to him to believe in him that he is a high-ranking official, and he is lustful, so he will give him ten or eight beauties, I don't believe it, he can keep it and not rebel." ”

The moonlight is shining, and it is lonely.

Under the clear light, the Huaiyin City Tower is like a sad old man, standing silently.

It was nearly three watches, and the soldiers who were patrolling the city at night dragged their heavy steps in small groups.

This city has been defended for nearly a month, except for a fierce battle at the beginning of the defeat, and now the city is locked and closed, everyone is neither advancing nor retreating, and I don't know when it will be a head, so we can only wait together.

However, the coalition army has long been full of soldiers, Yang Shao is good at fighting, and the Yangzi flame banner outside the city is like a life talisman when it looks like a life talisman from a distance.

The officers sighed, and rumors spread among the soldiers, some people said that if the Ming army was dragged impatiently, they would definitely be killed when the city was broken. Some people also said that the boss knew that the city could not be defended at all, and when the time came, the officials had a way, and they could flee first without waiting for the city to be broken, and the soldiers could only stay as substitutes for the dead ghosts.

Recently, there is a saying that has suddenly become very loud, and it is rumored that the lord of Yongcang is afraid of Yang Shao, although he pretends to fight against the Ming here, he has actually chosen the marriage of the county lord behind his back, and he will be dedicated to the king of Ming in the near future.

"Bang-Bang-"

The drum floated on the long street where no one was around, knocking on the night even darker.

When the tired night patrol soldier walked near the Dongyuan Gate, he suddenly saw a figure flashing, and then swept towards the north of the city.

"Who is it?" The leading patrol officer was startled, as if he had been stabbed in a stupor.

Two days ago, he heard from his brothers on shift that he had encountered several times in the middle of the night recently, and someone had climbed the city wall and secretly entered the city, but he couldn't catch it too quickly, and he didn't expect to encounter it today.

"Boss, what's the matter...... What to do? The soldier who followed behind turned pale with fright, clenched the barrel of the gun in his hand and trembled.

"Chase! In case it is a spy, the bounty will not be lost if you catch it......" The patrol officer plucked up his courage and said to his subordinates, and as soon as they heard the money, several people suddenly felt a little more energetic.

The ten-man team split into three lanes and trotted outflanked.

The figure came out of nowhere, and went all the way to the northwest corner of Huaiyin City, and finally, when he chased to an alley, he accidentally turned into a dead end, but after a little hesitation, he was blocked in the alley by three panting Yongbing.

"Who are you! Disarm or kill! The leading Yong soldiers carried their guns and approached step by step.

The person who came was masked, and didn't seem to intend to be caught, so he immediately pulled out his sword, only his wrist flicked, and the sword light grew violently.
