Yang Ye chased after him all the way and successfully entered Daizhou.

He was so familiar with this situation, because a few years ago, he was Liu Chong's grandson and was responsible for resisting the Khitan attacks here.

The first time he led a soldier, the first time he killed someone, the first time he made a meritorious service, the first time he was promoted and rewarded... Yang Ye has so many memories that he has stayed here.

When he revisited the old place, Yang Ye was angry.

Although Daizhou was not prosperous in the past, the city was tall and solid, with quite a few people stationed in the defense, and merchants were still lively.

But in recent years, Liu Chong became a dog of the Khitan and was naturally taken. Businesses and travelers in Hedong were often looted, and the people were abducted and slaves were acted as slaves.

After a few years, all those who can run away have run away, leaving only some old, weak and remnants.

Just now, Liu Chong passed by and took away his men and food. At this time, Daizhou, except for the elderly, weak, women and children, were beggars everywhere, which made people's eyes ignite!

"Old man Liu Chong, I will kill him!"

Yang Ye immediately ordered to continue pursuing, but he didn't know that Ye Hua's messenger had arrived.

"General Yang, the Marquis' order, the general is to wait for the arrival of the army in Daizhou, and is not allowed to fight without authorization, and violate the military order... and kill without mercy!"

"What!"

Yang Ye was shocked. How could Ye Hua give such a heavy order? Isn’t the Marquis afraid of missing out on opportunities?

Yang Ye was so anxious that he was walking around, but there was no way to do so, so he could only obey Ye Hua's orders.

After he repaired in Daizhou for two days, Ye Hua finally led a large group of people to come.

After meeting, Yang Ye became anxious, "Mr. Marquis, I don't understand, what are your plans?"

Yang Ye had a dark face and wanted to explain.

Ye Hua was not angry, but smiled and said, "General Yang, do you know where the place under our feet?"

Yang Ye nodded subconsciously, "It's Daizhou, it's the land of Hedong!"

"Then do you know Hedong's strength?"

Yang Ye took a deep breath, "I still know this last general." Yang Ye showed a contemplative look... The history of a city like Jinyang is very long. It was originally owned by Jin State. Later, after the three families divided Jin, Jinyang was the capital of Zhao State. The so-called Yan and Zhao men, riding alone on horseback, and riding Hu clothing and shooting... From that time on, Hedong has produced many powerful soldiers and is full of powerful generals.

Bingzhou was established in the Han Dynasty. The so-called Bingzhou army was famous all over the world. Wenhou Lu Bu was born in Bingzhou.

However, the Tang Dynasty was the one who really brought Hedong to its peak. As early as the Sui Dynasty, Taiyuan County was established, with its capital in Jinyang. Li Yuan and his son took Taiyuan as the foundation and won the world.

Even the name of the Tang Dynasty originated from the ancient name of the Tang Dynasty in Jinyang!

The monarchs of the Tang Dynasty continued to expand Jinyang and respected them as the Northern Capital, and were known as the "Three Capitals" together with the Eastern Capital Luoyang and the Kyoto Chang'an.

Perhaps Jinyang's prosperity is not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang, but as the base camp to fight against the northern nomadic cavalry, Jinyang City is in a high and deep, and elite soldiers and generals gather together, which is definitely not an idiot.

The Hedong Jiedushi, whose capital was Jinyang, ruled the Tianbing Army, Datong Army, Hengye Army, Kelan Army, Yunzhong Guardian and Xinzhou, Daizhou and Lanzhou County soldiers, and managed 55,000 soldiers... Among the many Jiedushi, they were outstanding.

The Hedong Jiedushi who have been looking at all the dynasties, since the first Xue Ne, including Zhang Yue, An Lushan, Li Guangbi and other famous figures, had almost no money, and even a weak man could not resist the arrogant soldiers and powerful generals.

Until Li Keyong's reign, he served as the governor of Hedong. He knew clearly that the northeast of the Hedong River was bounded by barbarians, connected with Youyan in the east, and looked up to the Central Plains in the south. It was a rare place for dragons to rise. Therefore, he spared no effort and worked hard to experience it.

The power of the entire Shatuo Group was placed in Hedong. Since then, Li Cunxu took Hedong as his foundation and competed with Zhu Wen for the world, the Later Tang, the Later Jin, and the Later Han... all of these three dynasties came from Hedong. In the eyes of the world, Jinyang is known as the "Dragon City".

If everyone is named the governor of Hedong and occupying Jinyang, it is equivalent to becoming the de facto crown prince, and it is more secure than the crown prince.

I said a lot, and I will sum up this sentence. Hedong is so awesome!

"We must despise our opponents strategically and must pay attention to our enemies tactically! Liu Chong and his Shatuo Group have been rampant for decades and will never give up easily. Let me ask you, how many people can there be in Hedong right now?"

Yang Ye knew the situation in Hedong more than ordinary generals. "Five years ago, there should be more than 150,000 households in Hedong. In the past five years, wars continued, taxes were tying, and people fled in large numbers. The household registration in Hedong was less than 50,000, and the number of people was about 200,000."

Ye Hua nodded, "The same is true for my estimate. General Yang, do you know what these 200,000 mean?"

Yang Ye pondered for a while, "I won't know."

Ye Hua said, "These 200,000 people, except for Shatu people, are those who are intimate with them, or follow Liu Chong wholeheartedly... I want to say that Hedong is now even more terrifying than Yan Yun. Yan Yun has nearly one million Han people who can be attracted to them as allies. And in Hedong, there are Shatu people everywhere. Will they be willing to surrender?"

Ye Hua's question stopped Yang Ye.

If it weren't for this, the Northern Han Dynasty would not have been able to last for twenty-eight years.

After Zhao Er attacked and destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, he hated the hatred. He set fire to the city first. It is said that it burned for three years, then dug the river and irrigated the city. Jinyang was completely destroyed. Zhao Er gave up, which shows how much hatred!

"General Yang, I heard that Daizhou is an empty city, so I immediately ordered you not to pursue it. Because according to my judgment, Liu Chong should have reduced his troops and concentrated his strength to defend Jinyang. He wanted to fight with us to the end and never stop."

Yang Yeshen agreed, "The Marquis has a very good knowledge, but because of this, shouldn't he fight quickly?"

"Disaster!"

Ye Hua said, "The people of Hedong are already devoted and cannot be shaken in a hurry. If we go south rashly, we may lose our troops and generals. And... don't forget that the late emperor was also from the Hedong Group!"

Ye Hua's face was solemn, "There are some embroidered messengers in Hedong. The secret report I received showed that some generals in the court had no connection with Hedong."

"What? The Marquis said there were spies?" Yang Ye was frightened. "Mr. Marquis, if someone reveals the news of the imperial military use, wouldn't that cause endless harm? Who is this person? Can you find it?"

Ye Hua shook his head slightly, "I have no idea yet. Because of this, I dare not let you go south rashly to avoid falling into a trap."

Having said that, Yang Ye was completely convinced.

He gave up his plan to make a quick decision and honestly took over Ye Hua's front.

Along the way, they went south from Daizhou to capture Xinzhou, and then arrived fifty miles north of Jinyang and stopped their team. Along the way, they suffered a lot and continued to attack them. The people along the way heard that the people went south and fled. Not only did the people run away, but they also filled the well.

Some people even throw feces at the water source to pollute river water.

Fortunately, Ye Hua was prepared. He ordered the soldiers to boil all drinking water before they could drink it. He also filled the wooden barrel with sand of varying thickness to filter the river water.

With these means, the entire army safely arrived north of Jinyang.

But even so, there were still hundreds of soldiers who were not accustomed to the local conditions and vomited and had diarrhea... Yang Ye felt his scalp numb and frightened. Fortunately, he heard Ye Hua's name, otherwise his name would have been broken into the gutter.

Just as Ye Hua was preparing for war, good news came. Chai Rong drove 50,000 troops, with Gao Huaide as the vanguard, had already broken through Baima Ridge, and the army headed straight to the east of Jinyang.

The seventy thousand army, coupled with Li Yun from Luzhou, besieged from three sides, Liu Chong's old man was still dead even if he had great skills.

Ye Hua immediately ordered Yang Ye, Chen Shi, and Tang Niu to lead troops separately to sweep the periphery of Jinyang and eliminate the power of the loyal Liu Chong. Ye Hua wanted to turn Jinyang into an isolated city.

The army was dispatched, and the cavalry guards swept across the board. Except for the tall and strong Jinyang, other cities were vulnerable and extremely fragile.

The people are displaced, and they are naturally suffering.

As the commander, Ye Hua did not have the Virgin Mary disease. Most of these were Shatuo people. God's will, so no one could save them!

Chai Rong's army is less than two days away, and the war is getting closer and closer.

Chen Shi suddenly rushed over.

"I caught a group of people!"

"Who?"

"It's a businessman, carrying a lot of cargo, but I think they look like people from the army, with thick calluses on their hands, and they are still from Luzhou."

"People from the Great Zhou!" Ye Hua frowned. Could it be that someone really had an affair with the Northern Han? He immediately stood up and "Take me to see."

Chen Shi led the way in front, and Ye Hua came to a tent.

More than a dozen people were imprisoned inside. They squatted on the ground, holding their heads, and were surrounded by soldiers in charge. When the marquis came, everyone immediately greeted him.

Ye Hua nodded and went straight to the group of people, "Are you businessmen from Dazhou?"

"That's right, the young people are all porters, please check it out!"

Ye Hua looked at it, suddenly reached out, grabbed a person's wrist, and pulled his slap in front of him. The porter should have had his fingers enlarged and rough, and cracked holes, but there were thick calluses in the palm of his hand, which was left behind by holding weapons for a long time.

"This is also the hand that a businessman should have?" Ye Hua asked with a sneer.

"The Jun Ye doesn't know that the young people walk in the place where they are not peaceful, so they will play guns and sticks, but the young people are really businessmen!"

"You guys have the final say!"

Ye Hua gave Chen Shi a look, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to push the vehicles carried by the people over.

"discharge!"

With the order, everyone started to do it. After a while, everything on the car was taken down. After it was unfolded, it was mostly silk cloth, and some medicines, jewelry, and other medicines, which were of great value.

"June, the young men are really businessmen. It's true. I'll respect these things. Please give us a way out!"

Roughly estimated, the goods totaled about 2,000 guan, which was a touching number. Unfortunately, I met Ye Hua and didn't even take this trick.

"Continue searching and remove all the carriages for me!"

The soldiers agreed, and they had dismantled the third troika, and suddenly someone exclaimed, "Marty, there is someone hidden in the wooden box of the seat!"

When Ye Hua heard this, he immediately took a big step forward. At this time, the soldier carried out a small old man covered in bruises from the wooden box, and was already dying.

"Quickly, please come over by the military doctor."

The military doctor came quickly and was treating the people here, but questioning the guys there and asking about the identity of the old man. Not only did these guys bite them to death, Chen Shi swung the whip and whipped them hard on their backs. As soon as the whip was buzzing, a blood mark was raised. After dozens of whip, someone finally couldn't hold on.

"Little man, the little man has followed the above instructions and let him, let him take this person..."

“Where to deliver?”

"Sent to Jinyang, who is he? I really don't know who he is!"
