Chapter 539 The Champion is Here
"Grandpa Wei, everything is ready." Yang Chongxun held the hilt tightly and reported to Old Wei.
"What about He Chengzong? Is he willing to enter the city?"
"Will!" Yang Chongxun smiled and said, "That grandson probably thought we didn't know his ghost thoughts, and wanted to pretend to be loyal to Dazhou and pat his chest for a loud bang!"
Wei Renpu's face was solemn. He delayed the past two days and was more about waiting for Ye Hua's actions. After all, Old Wei was still unwilling to give up Suzhou easily. But the situation was like this, Ye Hua had no movement for a long time, and Suzhou was in danger. With him alone, he could not turn the world around.
Forget it, before leaving, it is said that it can take down a general of Wu Yue and eliminate the inner supporters of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
I am a literati and have done my best. I am the champion, but I am not very proud of it!
Wei Renpu was even a little proud, eager to see Ye Hua’s angry look... "According to what we agreed on, we will control He Chengzong first."
"Abide by the order!"
Yang Chongxun immediately led his troops to the east gate and waited.
He Chengzong still didn't dare to be too careless, so he brought five hundred people into the city.
When he arrived in the city, Yang Chongxun came to greet him with a smile.
"You are General He, right? My name is Yang Chongxun, and I am the general of Xianggong of Wei."
He Chengzong was stunned for a moment and suddenly shouted: "It's the Yang family general! I have long admired the name of the great name!"
Yang Chongxun smiled indifferently, "How much does the Daming founded by his father and brother have to do with me? It is really admirable that the general can take the initiative to surrender to the Dazhou."
He Chengzong was very polite, "To be honest, I have wanted to serve the Great Zhou for a long time. Who in this world can unify the universe? Isn't it still the Emperor of the Great Zhou?"
He flattered him violently, and then said, "Where is Mr. Wei? I want to meet him, and I just have a heartfelt word to tell him."
Yang Chongxun said: "Gong of Wei is supervising the battle in Beicheng, but the general did not hear it? The thieves in the Southern Tang Dynasty were in an emergency, and they had already done their best to deal with it. To be honest, they just needed the general's new force!"
"Nothing said!"
He Chengzong slapped his chest, "Wu Yue and Nan Tang are enemies. I have long hoped to fight them to the death!"
"What a magnificent man!"
Yang Chongxun said: "General He, go to the prime minister's mansion with me and assign some combat missions."
He Chengzong nodded without a moment of hesitation. They turned around and left. The five hundred guards followed closely. Yang Chongxun rolled his eyes and said, "General He, the war is urgent, let alone people, even a dog has been sent. You bring these brothers to the scene. I wonder if you can let them take it for a while. After the discussion is made, you can then let the army enter the city. Don't you know, Mr. Wei is so anxious that his mouth is full of water for this."
He Chengzong pondered for a moment and said randomly: "The guest is at will. Since my surname He has entered the city, he is a person from the Great Zhou Dynasty. He must obey the orders of Xianggong of Wei. However, the merchants in the city are not people. They are all greedy for money and are greedy for money, but there are no good things. General Yang, don't be deceived by them."
Yang Chongxun said: "How can you? Guardian Wei's eyes are bright and his heart is bright, and he can see clearly. How can those people deceive Guardian Wei?"
He Chengzong nodded, Yang Chongxun gave his subordinates a wink, and they smiled and led these 500 people to "fight the enemy". There were only eight people left by He Chengzong, plus only nine of them.
Yang Chongxun smiled slightly. This is called falling into the trap. He can't run away even if he wants to!
"General He, please come here."
He took He Chengzong to the front of a compound. He Chengzong hesitated a little, "This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, isn't it too simple?"
Yang Chongxun explained: "Wei Xianggong is approachable and does not want to take over the masters and occupy the yamen. So he borrowed a wealthy house to settle down. General He and Xianggong Wei have already returned from the city. Please come in!"
He Chengzong was a little skeptical. But Yang Chongxun was really honest and he couldn't argue. Since he wanted to pretend to be loyal, he had to pretend to be the end. He got off his horse, took big steps, and entered the yard.
After entering, He Chengzong discovered something was wrong. Since it was Wei Renpu's residence, why could not see the two guards, and they were empty and like a charity village, where did the people go?
He hesitated in his heart, and he couldn't help but slow down. Suddenly, more than 20 people rushed out of the main room, all of whom were carrying crossbow arrows and aimed at He Chengzong. Cavalry guards also rushed out on both sides. Yang Chongxun held a knife and blocked the door of the mansion.
In an instant, He Chengzong had become a turtle in the jar!
"What are you doing?"
He Chengzong was furious and loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could you treat me like this?"
Yang Chongxun laughed loudly when he heard this, pointing at He Chengzong's nose and said, "Are you really thinking that Dazhou is as stupid as Qian Hongchu? Whose hands are your brother dead? Would you not hate him?"
He Chengzong's elder brother was named He Chengxun, who was the confidant of Qian Hongnei, the previous king of Wu Yue. Like many separatist regimes, Wu Yue also faced the threat of powerful ministers, among which the most powerful in the army was the veteran, Hu Jinsi, the army commander of the inner yamen.
In his early years, this man fought with Qian Rong. Not only did he make great contributions, but he also lived a long life. He was over 80 years old and was still alive. He died of three kings of Wu Yue. When he arrived at Qian Hongye, he was already the fourth one.
Qian Hongnei couldn't stand Hu Jinsi's fingers, so he instructed He Chengxun to get rid of Hu Jinsi.
However, the old fox was the old fox. Hu Jinsi got the news and made a quick decision, leading hundreds of soldiers to abolish Qian Hongye's throne and change Qian Hongchu to the King of Wuyue.
This happened a few years ago. Hu Jinsi successfully survived the fifth King of Wu Yue, but He Chengxun was brutally killed and abandoned the market for three days, which was extremely miserable.
After Qian Hongchu ascended the throne, Hu Jinsi advised him several times, asking him to eradicate the roots and completely eradicate all the forces of the previous kings.
However, Qian Hongchu always likes to be smart. He did not kill Qian Hongnai, but just took over house arrest, and even promoted He Chengzong.
His calculations are very clear, which means telling the world that it is not that I want to rob the throne, but that it is all forced by the old guy Hu Jinsi. I have no choice but to do it. Don’t think that I became the King of Wu and Yue, I still try my best to take care of the previous kings. I am talking about family affection.
Qian Hongchu's move was effective. After persisting for a few years, Hu Jinsi was really old and voluntarily resigned from all his official positions and returned home.
Qian Hongchu thought he could monopolize the power and become the veritable King of Wu Yue, but he did not expect that in just a few years, Li Hongji fought south and north, and Li Hongji was determined to make progress, and Wu Yue's situation became even worse.
He Chengzong was not grateful to His Majesty the Emperor. He saw through Qian Hongchu's hypocrisy and pretentiousness. Li Hongji killed his father and seized power, and did it openly and did it.
Qian Hongchu just wanted to eat but was afraid of being hot. How could such a virtue achieve great things?
He Chengzong gradually colluded with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he had long been betrayed Wu Yue.
"Don't you want evidence? This is evidence!"
Yang Chongxun asked someone to hold He Chengzong with a crossbow arrow, and personally led him to tie him up. Then he stretched out his hand and touched him for a long time, and took out a bright yellow decree. It was written by Li Hongji, who promised to be named King of Wu!
"What, what else do you have to say?"
Yang Chongxun grabbed the imperial edict and threw it hard on He Chengzong's face, "Bind him!"
Without saying a word, the cavalry guard tied He Chengzong into rice dumplings with a leather rope as thick as a thumb and threw them aside.
At the same time, on the other side, Wei Renpu was sitting high in the original prefect's office. He closed his eyes slightly, as if he was resting his mind. His eyes, which were occasionally moved, showed an uneasy heart.
After a while, someone suddenly ran in, "Report to the Lord Wei, and all the lords, General He, did not welcome him!"
"What?" Xie Zhong was the first to stand up and question, "What does it mean? General He is unwilling to enter the city to help the battle?"
"General He has entered the city, but..."
The person who reported the news did not dare to speak, but just looked at Wei Renpu.
This is when Old Wei finally opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I have sent someone to invite He Chengzong away, so you don't have to wait."
"What does it mean?" Xie Zhong said unconvincedly: "General He came to help the war. He should be invited here to entertain him. How could he treat the guests slowly?"
"Hahaha!"
Wei Renpu laughed loudly, "What a guy came to help the battle, I'm afraid he would help the battle for Nan Tang?"
As soon as this was said, Wang Han, Li Bengu, and many people from the Chamber of Commerce all stood up and asked in surprise: "Can He Chengzong have defected to the Southern Tang?"
"That's right, this person has accepted the enthronement of Li Hongji. This time he entered the city, not to help with the war, but to ask you and my head! I have made a plan and took him into the city."
"Mr. Wei really has an unexpected opportunity, and I admire it!" Wang Han took the lead in flattering. Xie Zhong was stunned. He hesitated for a moment and followed the courtesy, trying to get away with it. Isn't this a dream!
"Xie Zhong, He Chengzong dared to bring five hundred people into the city, but he was sure. If someone in the city responded, why did your troops move?"
"What does it mean? I, I don't understand!" Xie Zhongyan was flustered and his face was pale. Judging from his appearance, the rest of the people didn't know.
OK, you dare to betray everyone, who is surnamed Xie.
"Bow him to death, beat him to death!"
Everyone rushed up, and at this moment, Sun Yuan walked in from outside and "I've met Mr. Wei."
When she saw Sun Yuan walking in, Xie Zhong seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, "Brother Sun, Brother Sun! You can't ignore me! No!"
Sun Yuan snorted coldly, "Brother Xie, please don't worry, if I don't care about you, how could your crime be in full swing?"
"ah!"
Xie Zhongru was struck by lightning. Grandma, it was this guy who betrayed him. He deserved to die! Xie Zhong fought his life and rushed forward to settle the score with Sun Yuan, but the people around him had already held him firmly.
After taking down He Chengzong and arresting the inner demon, everyone seemed to be able to take a breath.
In fact, Nan Tang wanted to take his wits. When they found that He Chengzong had not moved for a long time, they knew something was wrong and immediately ordered a strong attack.
This time, I was really involved. Several places were broken through at the top of Suzhou City, and the defenders were killed and injured.
"Mr. Wei, you can't delay it!"
Wei Renpu gritted his teeth, "I can't leave like this. I have to go to the city, and then... I'll just hit it out."
Wei Renpu carefully explained and hurried out, but as soon as he arrived on the street, someone came towards him, "No, Wu Yue's army is coming!"
Wei Renpu's eyes turned dark. Don't go to the top of the city. Let's knock me out now.
"How many people came to Wu Yue? Did all 100,000 people come?" Wei Renpu asked reluctantly.
"I don't know how many people came, but they were very strange under the banner of the Great Zhou!" The sender shook his head, puzzled. They were all Wu Yue's armored weapons, and they also looked from the south. They were holding the banner of the Great Zhou army. Could it be that they were cheating the city?
