Chapter 155

Ye Hua was very curious. Wei Renpu was a big celebrity around Guo Wei and could not be separated for a while. How could he go to the front line for the sake of Huangfu Hui?

"Campoke Hou, don't you know that in the past few decades, Shatuo people have stolen the Central Plains. Many famous scholars are unwilling to be under Shatuo people, so they crossed south and surrendered to the Li family, becoming ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Among them are the famous Han Xizai, Chang Mengxi, Ma Renyu, Wang Yanzhu, Gao Yue, Gao Yuan, Jiang Wenmo, etc., all of which are heroes at the moment. If they can be used by the Great Zhou, they will definitely help Your Majesty unify the world, but...ah!"

Ye Hua understood that he wanted to buy horse bones with a wealth of money, and used Huangfu Hui as an example to attract civil and military officials from the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Think about it, a star of the Sangmen who killed the emperor can be appreciated and used, let alone others! Lao Wei's abacus is really smart.

However, Huangfu Hui, this guy, was still conscientious and would rather die in battle than to switch to the Great Zhou Dynasty, which made the abacus fail...

Ye Hua thought for a while, "Actually, even if Huangfu Hui dies, he can still make a fuss."

Wei Renpu frowned, "He is dead, how can I make a fuss?"

"This...there are many ways." Ye Hua suddenly laughed, "Mr. Wei, you really can't imagine it?"

Wei Renpu said with a dark face: "If you have a solution, just say it quickly and don't keep it!"

Ye Hua smiled, "Is this OK? You give me a gift and I will tell you, how?"

Wei Renpu smiled, "Champion Hou, you can underestimate me? You can be the teacher if you accept someone, and if you have a good idea, what's wrong with me giving you a gift!"

As he said that, the man bowed repeatedly, and did not avoid the soldiers around him, as if no one was around.

Ye Hua was a little embarrassed. He wanted to knock Wei Renpu's bamboo pole to get some benefits. Unexpectedly, he really didn't care about face. Ye Hua didn't dare to continue joking.

Wei Renpu is so stupid! He is trusted by Guo Wei and annoyed him, but he has no good ending!

"There are actually many ways, such as asking Your Majesty to give up the imperial edict, enfeoffed Huangfu Hui, and built a temple for him to sacrifice!"

Wei Renpu was very dissatisfied, "This method is too ordinary. We killed people. Building a temple can only save one or two, and it cannot turn the world around!"

"Where is the ten thousand stones of green salt?" Ye Hua asked with a smile.

"What's the meaning?"

"Grandpa Wei, we can spread news that Huangfu Hui sacrificed his life to regain Yancheng and solve the difficulties of the people in Jiangnan to eat salt, and died in the battlefield and martyred for the country. Although he was an enemy of the two countries, we were moved by the loyalty of the old general and gave 10,000 stones of green salt to the Southern Tang, not to the court, but to the people of the Southern Tang, to show our respect for General Huangfu!"

Wei Renpu's eyes lit up, he pointed at Ye Hua, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "I said, "Campoke Hou, it's hard for you to think of it. This has given the Southern Tang lord and ministers a strong slap!"

Ye Hua said shyly: "Actually, you can slap repeatedly!"

"How to fan?" Wei Renpu became more interested.

"We can first block the news that Huangfu Hui died in battle, claiming that he was injured, we are doing our best to treat him, and then release the news that Huangfu Hui has surrendered. When the Nan Tang side takes action, we will send a verbal debater to send Qingyan, and then vigorously promote Huangfu Hui's loyalty, courage, benevolence and righteousness, and make a big fuss, turning the Southern Tang monarch and ministers into villains who are jealous of virtuous people and capable, killing loyal and good people!"

"Hahaha!"

Wei Renpu praised, "Miscellaneous, it's a wonderful strategy! When Xu Xuan came to my Great Zhou, he showed off his martial arts and power, and his tongue blossomed with lotus flowers. This time we have to make it back! The messengers sent must be eloquent and calm."

Wei Renpu thought about it very seriously, "I said Champion Hou, do you want to go?"

Ye Hua glared at Old Wei fiercely, you are just a bad person, you want to push me into the fire pit!

"Go, of course I am willing to go, know myself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. As long as your Majesty nods, I will set off immediately!"

This made Wei Renpu lose his words, and Guo Wei was reluctant to send Ye Hua out! In the past, Guo Wei valued Ye Hua, but this time he easily defeated Yancheng, defeated Nan Tang and killed Huangfu Hui.

Are the achievements of great success? The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty promised to hate Ye Hua so much that they sent him there. Even if they were not killed, it would be difficult to escape safely. They must find a suitable candidate.

There are not many civil servants in front of the army, so who can live up to his mission?

Wei Renpu fell into deep thought... And the Southern Tang side was already in chaos, Chuzhou was lost, the door was opened, Guo Wei's army entered Huainan, tigers looked at Jiangnan, and swept the whale and swallowed it.

Li Jing had to summon civil and military officials again to discuss countermeasures. All the elites from the Southern Tang Dynasty were present. In addition to King Li Jingda and Scholar Xu Xuan, there were Prime Minister Song Qiqiu, Privy Councilor Feng Yanji, Sun Sheng, Chang Mengxi, Han Xizai, Chen Jue, Li Zhenggu, etc.

Facing the court officials, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh, "I believe the Qing family already knew that Zhou Bing occupied Chuzhou and the front-line war was unfavorable. How should we deal with it?"

Sun Sheng, the Minister of the Secretariat, stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I think it's common for military affairs, so there's no need to worry too much. I recommend Liu Renshan to lead the troops to meet the enemy, and I will definitely be able to defeat the Zhou army and restore Chuzhou."

Liu Renshan was indeed one of the rare generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was brave and had strategies and was a rare talent. However, Liu Renshan was arrogant and inevitably had bad popularity and was incompatible with his immediate superior, Privy Councilor Feng Yanji.

Feng Yanji stood up, "Grandpa Sun, if I remember correctly, Huangfu Hui was yours, right? He failed the Holy Eternal Eternity and lost to Chuzhou. He has not settled the score with you yet, why dare to recommend talents?"

Sun Sheng’s official position was not inferior to Feng Yanji, so he was not afraid of him. He said loudly: “Huangfu Hui is Huangfu Hui, Liu Renshan is Liu Renshan, not to mention that General Huangfu did not disappoint the Tang Dynasty. I did not misunderstand the people!”

As soon as he finished speaking, King Li Jingda of Qi smiled.

"Mr. Sun, do you really dare to guarantee Huangfu Hui?"

Sun Sheng's face changed, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Li Jingda laughed twice, then turned to Li Jing and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Chuzhou surrendered without fighting, and tens of thousands of soldiers surrendered to Guo Wei. Huangfu Hui led 5,000 soldiers out of the city and was defeated and captured by Zhou soldiers halfway. He had already surrendered to Guo Wei!"

"What?"

Li Jingda's words caused an uproar.

Huangfu Hui was defeated and said everything. Some people said he died on the spot, while others said he was captured and refused to surrender. He scolded Zhou Bing, and was cut into meat paste.

At this time, Li Jingda suddenly said that Huangfu Hui surrendered, which one is true?

"King of Qi, do you have evidence?"

"Yes, my eyes and ears in Chuzhou discovered that Wei Renpu led his troops out of the city, and then returned to the city in the evening. He accompanied a veteran to talk and laugh, and escorted Guo Wei to see Guo Wei. The veteran was riding a green horse and wearing a chain armor, which was Huangfu Hui!"

Li Jing frowned and was furious. The war horses and armor were given to Huangfu Hui by him.

I really didn't expect that he actually surrendered!

"hateful!"

Li Jing was so angry that he stamped his feet and beat his chest.

King Li Jingda of Qi was proud, "Your Majesty, Huangfu Hui was a rebellious thief who killed the king and surrendered to Guo Wei. It is not surprising that the fall of Yancheng is also related to Huangfu Hui. He wanted to deliberately set up a trap and lure the army north to gather and rape him. Fortunately, his Majesty Yingrui was not deceived. Huangfu Hui failed in a trick and had to surrender to Guo Wei. I think he should kill Huangfu Hui's family and the three tribes to calm the hearts of the people."

Li Jing lowered his head and thought, Sun Sheng was anxious, "Your Majesty, the situation is not clear now, so you can't just listen to the King of Qi's words!"

Li Jingda was unhappy, "Why, Mr. Sun, do you think I'm lying?"

The two guys were about to squeeze again, and Li Jing's heads exploded.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. For the time being, I will put Huangfu Hui's family in the heavenly prison first. After the investigation is made, we will make a decision!"

Obviously, Li Jing still favors King Qi.

Although he did not explicitly rebuke Sun Sheng, the Liu Renshan he recommended was denied.

Feng Yanji recommended Liu Chongjun, the governor of Haozhou, who was fierce and bloodthirsty, specialized in raising rogues, forcing women to steal the civilians, and his military discipline was corrupt, which attracted many opposition.

There was no choice but to recommend Liu Yanzhen, but this person's reputation was not as good as Liu Chongjun.

After arguing for three days, he couldn't send out generals.

In fact, if you look closely, you will find that the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty was obviously divided into two factions, including Song Qiqiu and Feng Yanji, who were the real power factions, and Sun Sheng, Han Xizai and others, were scholars from the north, and they were brought together.

Bachelor Xu Xuan belongs to a minority of neutral schools, and at this time, there is no room for speech.

And just as they were quarreling, the Great Zhou sent envoys.

This person's name is Shen Yilun, a native of Kaifeng. Not long ago, he was sent to Wu Yue and was very successful. After Wei Renpu's recommendation, he came to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It is actually very dangerous for both sides to be out of war, but Shen Yilun is not afraid at all.

He represents the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is confident!

"I was ordered by the emperor to come to Guibang to ask you, but I realized that I was wrong?"

Shen Yilun was arrogant and the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were unable to accept it, so they all pointed out their fingers and cursed loudly.

"Hahaha, no matter what you say, the battlefield is my Great Zhou winning step by step, and you lost the city and land, and you are in a mess! Haizhou, Chuzhou, and Yancheng are all lost! Huangfu Hui, Xian Shilang, more than a dozen generals, and tens of thousands of soldiers are swept away by the Great Zhou. If you move to Chuzhou today, this is your last chance. If you know the current affairs, go to the emperor's title, and submit to the Great Zhou, there is still a glimmer of life. Otherwise, I am afraid that no one will be spared when the army goes south!"

"Arrogant!" Li Jingda jumped out and cursed, "I have 300,000 elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty and countless powerful generals. Even if there are occasional setbacks, it's nothing. You are just a small victory, and you are so arrogant that you are not far from defeat?"

"Hahaha!"

Shen Yilun smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth, "It's so heartless. It's a pity that he has elite soldiers and strong generals, but he doesn't know how to cherish them?"

As Shen Yilun said, he took out a large seal from his arms, put it on his palm, weighed it, and then said to the emperor and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty: "This is the seal of the old general Huangfu. Facing the siege of our Great Zhou soldiers, the old general knew that he would be defeated. Before his death, he said that he had betrayed the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty once and would definitely not betray him for the second time. He was willing to repay His Majesty for his kindness for taking in and using his blood! He has lived up to His Majesty. Now I have sent his seal back and asked His Majesty to take a look."
