Due to the backward communication methods, it is difficult to transmit the situation on the battlefield back to the court in time. With rumors, it is obvious that they are loyal to the country, but they are said to be surrendering to the enemy and treason. Such examples are never uncommon.

For example, in the famous Li Ling incident, as the grandson of the famous general Li Guang, Li Ling led 5,000 troops and was besieged by the 80,000 Xiongnu army. Li Ling fought bloody battles for eight days and eight nights. Because there were no reinforcements, he was defeated and captured and surrendered to the Xiongnu.

Then it was said that Li Ling trained troops for the Huns and dealt with the Han Dynasty. In a rage, Emperor Wu killed Li Ling's family and the three tribes of Yi. Later he learned that it was Li Xu who attacked the Han Dynasty, not Li Ling.

But it was a big mistake. Li Ling had a family and could not return home, so he could only stay in the Huns. The Han Dynasty also lost a good general.

Looking forward, the same goes for the back. For example, in the Battle of Songshan, Hong Chengchou was defeated and captured. Emperor Chongzhen thought that Hong Chengchou, who was deeply favored by heaven, could be loyal to the country and be loyal to his righteousness and death.

He also cried bitterly for him to stop the court, but what he had been waiting for was the old thief who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and sold his country for honor. Emperor Chongzhen became a boss and became a laughing stock.

But compared to these examples, the faces of the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were even more swollen!

They still don’t know what happened to Huangfu Hui, but they actually rely on the envoys of the Great Zhou to tell the truth. They are really ashamed!

The one he couldn't stand was Li Jingda. He has always been constantly shaking Huangfu Hui. Now the wind has suddenly changed, how can he handle himself?

"You, do you say Huangfu Hui died in battle? He did not surrender?"

After hearing this, Shen Yilun's face was full of strangeness and suddenly burst into laughter, tears burst out from laughing.

He glanced around and couldn't help but sigh, even dipped his hands in tears.

They cried and laughed, which made the emperor and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty confused!

"I am crying for the old general Huangfu, with no eyes!" Shen Yilun said loudly: "My Great Zhou really wants to persuade the old general to surrender, but he is loyal, as solid as a rock, and unchanging ambition. The emperor supervised the troops and could not capture it for a long time. He had to cross the Huai River and seize Yancheng first. When the old general heard the news, he immediately dispatched troops to rescue him. The soldiers of our Great Zhou fought for the first time and killed the deputy general Xian Shilang. At that time, the old general Huangfu had only 10,000 soldiers, and Chuzhou Yancheng was difficult to take care of. If he stayed in Chuzhou, he might have a glimmer of hope, but he sent troops in a hurry, and as a result, all the Yancheng in Chuzhou were lost. The old general died at the hands of the champion Hou and the son-in-law Duwei, which was a heroic spirit. Although the enemies of the two countries, the Great Zhou still admired the loyalty and righteousness of General Huangfu. He had already built temples to sacrifice in the place where he died for his country, and named the earthen mountain Huangfu Qiu!"

Shen Yilun said again: "Although the two countries are fighting, what are the people? The old general rescued Yancheng twice, but he was worried about the suffering of millions of creatures and lacking salt. My Great Zhou emperor was kind and specially sent ten thousand stones of green salt to you and others. The ten thousand stones of green salt were thankful for General Huangfu's loyalty and righteousness and donated it to the people of Jiangnan. I hope you can distribute it as soon as possible, so as not to let down the old general's passion and loyalty and righteousness!"

After Shen Yilun finished speaking, he turned around and said goodbye.

The civil and military officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty all had their faces ashen and were stunned. They let Shen Yilun leave calmly, and they didn't know how to deal with it!

Shen Yilun returned to the inn and waited for five days before he received the pale and perfunctory passage from the Ministry of Rites of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He set out to cross the Yangtze River and returned north. When he arrived in Xinghua, he happened to meet Ye Hua.

"Mr. Chen, I came to welcome you with the will of the saint. What is the situation in the Southern Tang court?" Ye Hua said curiously.

Chen Yilun quickly bowed and bowed repeatedly, with a smile in his eyes.

"Champion, your method is really clever!"

Chen Yilun smiled happily, and he told Ye Hua what he saw and heard.

Obviously, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty would not easily believe Chen Yilun's statement. They collected information from all parties and found several Huangfu Hui's subordinates who fled back. After inquiring, they confirmed that Huangfu Hui was indeed martyred for the country and did not surrender to the Great Zhou.

It was very lively now.

what to do?

King Li Jingda of Qi insisted that even if it was wrong, it could not be changed, especially at the critical moment of war between the two countries, the orders were changed every day and shaken the morale of the army, and only one mistake could be made to the end!

But other ministers refused, especially Sun Sheng. He recommended Huangfu Hui and almost fell into trouble. Now he knew that Huangfu Hui sacrificed his life for the country and wanted the veteran general to be wronged?

What's more, the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty came and all the Qingyan was sent. Huangfu Hui's loyalty and righteousness moved the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he could not touch his own people? What's the matter? If it spreads, what do you think of the soldiers fighting in front? Will the morale of the army be devastated?

Sun Sheng mobilized his gangsters, spoke earnestly, and kept accusing Huangfu Hui.

Li Jing couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to release Huangfu Hui's family and comfort him with kind words. He also appointed Huangfu Hui's son Huangfu Jixun as the commander-in-chief of the Divine Guards!

When Ye Hua tried to use his mistake to recover, he couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Chen Yilun talk about it. If he remembered correctly, the Southern Tang would be in trouble in the hands of Huangfu Jixun. This guy covered up his failure and detained the documents for emergency and deceived Li Yu. As a result, the troops were at the city. The foolish Li Yu had no idea and held the imperial examination in the city and became the king of the country.

Huangfu Jixun's fate was also very miserable. After Li Yu learned the truth, he issued an order to kill Huangfu Jixun. As a result, before the operation was started, he was torn to pieces by the angry military and civilians and eaten as a sashimi!

Ye Hua did not expect that his move would also bring out a rare pig opponent! He found a minister who destroyed the country for Nan Tang! It was really interesting!

In fact, Li Jing was still soft-hearted. He released the Huangfu family and granted an official position. On the surface, he made up for the mistake, but it was equivalent to admitting that their ruler and ministers were incompetent, so he lost Yancheng, Chuzhou and killed the loyal Huangfu Hui, which was equivalent to slapping himself in the mouth!

Ye Hua crossed his legs, thought for a while, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, what is the price of salt in Nantang?"

Chen Yilun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "Champion Marquis, the official dared to ask for advice, why should we care about the price of salt? Compared with military and national affairs, this seems insignificant?"

Ye Hua smiled, "Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which one is a trivial matter! It is related to people's livelihood and benefits, and it is also related to the survival of a country. The people may not know the victory or defeat on the battlefield, but they know the price of salt, and can they afford salt? Mr. Chen, do you think this is the case?"

Chen Yilun was just a small official in the past and had never had contact with Ye Hua.

In his impression, is the champion? He is just a young man who is furious and angry. He is successful in his youth, can fight wars, and can command troops... But this time he talked to Ye Hua, he overturned all his impressions, making him unable to help but get to know Ye Hua again!

"The Marquis's golden and jade is really a high-level opinion. I heard that the salt price in Jiangdu has reached a dou of salt. The best green salt costs more than 5 guan! We sent 10,000 guan, but it's 500,000 guan! To be honest, the official is a little painful!"

"Hahaha!"

Ye Hua smiled, "If you want to take it, you must give it. Mr. Chen, can you say that this ten thousand stones of green salt solve the gap in the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

"cannot!"

Chen Yilun said decisively: "There are millions of people in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and this little salt is not enough to even plug the teeth! What's more, the price of green salt is so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it!"

Ye Hua smiled, "That's right. According to my estimate, the people in the Southern Tang Dynasty will not only not give the green salt to the people, but will also make a fortune. During the days when Mr. Chen went to the Southern Tang Dynasty, I have released more than a thousand people, allowing them to sneak into the Southern Tang Dynasty and spread rumors. It is not that salt shortage, but that some people hoarded and made great fortunes in the national crisis. The Great Zhou still pity the people in Jiangnan, but some people are not even as good as the Great Zhou! I also asked them to compile a list, saying that among the powerful people who hoarded green salt, there were the crown prince, King Yan Li Jingsui, King Qi Li Jingda, Privy Councilor Feng Yanji, Prime Minister Song Qiqiu, etc. What do you think?"

When Chen Yilun heard Ye Hua say this, he was covered in goose bumps all over his body.

Champion Hou, your plan to get apart is too ruthless!

Didn’t this make the people of Southern Tang hate the emperor to death?

Chen Yilun went to the Southern Tang for only a few days, but he also noticed that the Southern Tang land annexation was serious, and he fought against foreign countries for years, and the people were suffering from their livelihood. At this time, as long as he was a little relieved and there was a hole for release, the public resentment would be transferred to the Southern Tang court.

The people and the court are disunited with each other and how much chance of winning can they have when facing the Great Zhou, which is united in the whole country?

According to military tactics, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, they are the champion marquis!

If you have reached such a level of calculation, you still have to worry about not being able to win the battle?

No wonder he is the champion!

He is such a small saint of the military strategist, amazing!
