Outside the city of Yangzhou, the debris is piled up, such as the beams and door panels, and even flammable things such as silk and satin, are thrown out of the city, and now there is billowing smoke, and there is a fire rising into the sky without spinning.

The city was overcrowded with people, and the noise was endless. In the middle of this wall facing the Miao army camp, Zhao Yu stood side by side with the gloomy look of the chief helmsman of Yuan. After a few hours of rest, Zhao Yu had completely recovered his spirits, and commanded everyone at the head of the city to put the people in the rivers and lakes who were not weak in light work down the city head with ropes, and poured fire oil and set fire along the line of the city wall.

Although the helmsman of Yuan was standing beside Zhao Yu, he looked vigilant, his expression was full of suspicion, and he said angrily: "Your method can really stop the Miao army from attacking the city?"

Zhao Yu quickly issued a few orders, and then turned his head and smiled at the helmsman of Yuan: "The flames are soaring, how can the Miao army cross this raging sea of fire unless it has wings." ”

However, this method is only a temporary symptom, but it cannot block the Miao army for a long time. All the things that ignited the fire in the city have been transferred here, and they can support it for a day and night, and after the fire is extinguished, they will rush up again, what method will we use to deal with it?"

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "I have some channels to learn about the situation outside, the situation of the Miao army is not good now, if we can drag it out for a point, the situation may change in our favor." ”

He saw that the chief helmsman of Yuan still looked suspicious, and knew that his credit was bankrupt in front of the chief helmsman of Yuan, so he said: "Fortunately, Brother Yuan does not care about his past suspicions. Ken fights alongside his younger brother. The current situation is that no amount of intrigue has much to do with the overall situation. If the Miao army enters the city, not to mention that Brother Yuan is not happy, King Cheng's plan to take Yangzhou will also be frustrated, even the younger brother and I can't be alone. It's not arrogant, if Yang Wanzhi knows that I am in the city, and the arrest of Brother Yuan and others is still behind, the younger brother must be arrested first. will be relieved. ”

Chief Helmsman Yuan heard this. I couldn't help but nod and said, "That's not bad, you are so beautiful right now, how can Yang Wanzhi let you go!"

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "That's right." For the sake of your own life. The younger brother also has to do his best. Blocked the Miao army outside the city of Yangzhou. Although I am friends and enemies with King Cheng, I have no enmity at the moment, as for whether he can take Yangzhou City and achieve great things. Now it's important to save your life, but you can't care about it. To tell the truth, the younger brother really admires Brother Yuan very much, and for the sake of the great cause of King Cheng, he is willing to give up his previous suspicions and cooperate with the younger brother again. ”

When Chief Helmsman Yuan heard this, a trace of gloom flashed on his face, and he said coldly: "Since he has planted a spy by my side, it is clear that he does not believe me. In this case, what does his great cause have to do with me! It's just that many old people in the gang died at the hands of Yang Wanzhi's Miao Jun, and in order to avenge them, I can't let Yang Wanzhi have a better time!"

"Whatever it is, we have to make good use of this rare time right now. At the moment, the only thing we can control is the wall facing the Miao army camp. These people gathered under his hands are okay with chaos, if you want to stop the Miao army from attacking the city, you don't even think about it!"

Zhao Yu said again: "Therefore, the next step is for Brother Yuan to come forward and gather these people in the city, and first create a momentum of unity, so that he can have enough confidence to confront the Miao army." As far as I expected, if we block this moment, there is very little time left for the Miao army to attack the city. Maybe now that King Cheng's army is approaching the Miao army camp, there is such a powerful deterrent, what are we afraid of!"

Chief Helmsman Yuan said vigilantly: "Why did I come forward? You are a dignified demon lord, and your reputation is several times higher than mine, isn't it better for you to come forward to obey those people?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he said in his heart that this Yuan Chief Helmsman really learned from the pain, and even the self-knowledge that was extremely scarce for him came in handy. He said again: "If you change the time and place, I will naturally not bother Brother Yuan." But now this is Yangzhou City, which is far away from my Chuzhou. As the saying goes, far water does not quench the thirst of the near, and the leaders of these people in the city are all robbers who take advantage of the fire, and for them, if the prospect is too far, it is unreliable. Behind Brother Yuan, there are hundreds of thousands of troops of King Cheng close at hand, but this is an advantage that is difficult for the younger brother to reach now. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said with a meaningful smile: "Besides, Brother Yuan, you have taken the initiative to use the hands of King Cheng in the city this time. No matter what the outcome of the Yangzhou affair is, you say that he will simply let you go?"

When Chief Helmsman Yuan heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he snorted coldly: "I did these things, or not because I trusted you, and I was completely favored by you!"

Zhao Yu hurriedly apologized and said: "This matter is indeed not authentic for the younger brother, but the truth makes sense to me here, and King Cheng may not believe it." Besides, I heard that this time King Cheng's army was dispatched, and the leader was Zhang Shide, who had always had a bad relationship with Brother Yuan. Zhang Shide's army is in his hands, and it is extremely rare to catch such a sore foot as Brother Yuan, I am afraid that after the two sides meet, he can't help but say that he will get rid of Brother Yuan. Even if it is in King Cheng's place, it is not good to blame his brother-in-law for this matter, after all, this matter is also considered to be the crime of Brother Yuan!"

Although the helmsman of Yuan was very courageous, but in the face of the problem related to his family's life, he was still bluffed by Zhao Yu, and said in a trembling voice: "Then what should I do?"

Zhao Yu smiled firmly: "This is the deep meaning of the little brother Yang asking Brother Yuan to come forward to appease a few people in the city, Brother Yuan imagine that you go and promise these people a heavy reward, if they promise it, they can be regarded as investing in Brother Yuan's door." Brother Yuan has such a hole card in his hand, even if Zhang Shide enters the city and wants to manipulate Brother Yuan, he must also take care of the feelings of these people. If Brother Yuan can hold the people of Yangzhou City tightly in his hands, not only can he avoid the current disaster, but in the future, he will have soldiers in his hands, and he will not have to look at the faces of others. With heavy troops in hand, anyone has to be courteous, and King Cheng will not dare to think of villains again!"

When the chief helmsman heard Zhao Yu's words, he frowned and pondered for a long time before he hesitated to speak: "Do you dare to guarantee that you are not fooling me again in this matter?"

Zhao Yu sighed in his heart, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Although I have the name of the devil, I always have some conscience in my heart. Brother Yuan is in this predicament at the moment, all because of me, I am planning for you this time, in addition to compensating you, I might as well explain the truth clearly. Zhang Shicheng and I are friends and foes, and if I can put a thorn in his heart, I will be very happy. Besides, this matter is that he has a handle to expose, if he hadn't moved the villain's mind to send someone to spy on Brother Yuan, even if I had the heart, it would be difficult to intervene. Acting like this, firstly, to compensate for Brother Yuan, and secondly, to find some unhappiness for Zhang Shicheng. Can Brother Yuan still believe such an answer?"

Zhao Yu's words were really heartfelt, and his expression and tone were extremely sincere. Chief Helmsman Yuan carefully observed his expression, and saw that his eyes did not seem to be fake, and he already believed a little in his heart, and sighed: "You, the demon lord, pretended to be an identity to deceive me, and I originally looked down on you in my heart. The famous Demon Lord can only play some intrigues and tricks. But listening to you say that, my heart has changed a little. You are a real villain, and it is reasonable to plot against people, but King Cheng is a hypocrite, on the surface, he is a corporal and treats the old brothers in the gang well, but in fact, he has ghost thoughts in his heart. In this comparison, you are even better than King Cheng. ”

Hearing this answer, Zhao Yu sweated in his heart. When he made such an arrangement, he really desperately wanted to add some sand to the fat of Yangzhou City, so that even if Zhang Shicheng swallowed it in one gulp, he would be very unhappy in his heart.

Now in the south of the Yangtze River, most of the military horses of the Yuan Court have been attracted by the Chuzhou army under Jiqing City, and the rest are either not worth mentioning or are too busy to take care of themselves. If the only threat to the Miao army is defeated in the hands of Zhang Shicheng, almost no one in the entire Jiangnan will be able to curb his development momentum. This is very bad for the Chuzhou army.

Therefore, although Zhao Yu did everything possible to force Zhang Shicheng and Miao Jun to turn against each other, on the other hand, he also tried his best to restrict Zhang Shicheng's actions. Let Zhang Shicheng take Yangzhou is already the bottom line in his heart, as for going further, he will never allow it! Therefore, Zhao Yu ordered Xu Da to contact Fang Guozhen in the south to send troops to contain Zhang Shicheng, and on the other hand, he encouraged the helmsman of Yuan to plant a discordant nail in Zhang Shicheng's camp.

Although the chief helmsman of Yuan himself is ignorant and at a loss, his identity is Zhang Shicheng's former benefactor. As long as Zhao Yu provokes a sign of discord between the two sides, he doesn't need to take action in the future, and naturally there are a lot of ill-intentioned people who secretly promote it, making this small disease of scabies a big problem!
