Ye Hua wanted to restrain Li Hongji and let Chai Rong eat up 300,000 people from Jiangbei, and then cross the river to take down Jinling. His Majesty the Emperor would be more respectful.

But unexpectedly, Li Hongji took the initiative to go to Yangzhou to supervise the battle!

Your brain is broken, right?

Leaving the old nest Jinling and running to the north of the river, isn’t this seeking death?

Ye Hua was sure that Li Hongji was a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and never returned.

Chai Rong should be satisfied with such a large prey coming to his door. Ye Hua decided to immediately launch his troops to attack the Southern Tang. In fact, during the training of the troops, Ye Hua used the relationship between the Soviet and Shang dynasties to penetrate the Southern Tang, sent spies to buy insiders, and sent people to promote the strategy of equalizing the fields of the Great Zhou Dynasty and win the hearts of the people.

After this careful preparation, Ye Hua won a good start.

Yang Ye led his troops and defeated the Southern Tang camp in the northwest of Suzhou with 200 bed crossbows, defeated Yang Shou, and captured Sun Zhen, the chief of the military commander of the military commander, and defeated more than 20,000 people, and more than 3,000 people were captured.

Yang Ye kept moving his troops to attack Jiangyin.

Halfway through, he met Li Wei, the commander of the Southern Tang Dynasty who came to rescue. Yang Ye showed his power and led his troops to break through the Southern Tang army and horses, with a golden sword in his eyes.

Kill Li Wei's troops and took advantage of the situation to attack Jiangyin.

In order to capture Jiangyin, Ren Tianxing also mobilized 300 warships. Since taking over the Wu Yue Navy, the navy of the Great Zhou has reached about one-third of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

With the powerful tool of bed crossbow, Ren Tianxing is full of confidence.

He and Yang Ye and Shuilu attacked Jiangyin together.

After three days of fierce battle, Yang Ye's engineers exploded the Jiangyin city gate, and then Yang Ye rushed into the city and Jiangyin fell into the hands of Dazhou.

Ren Tianxing successfully accepted the Jiangyin Navy, as many as 500 ships, as many as 500 ships. He was like taking Dali Pills, and his strength grew much stronger.

The infantry fought continuously and needed rest, but Ren Tianxing's navy was just inspiring.

He took Jiangyin as his base and continued to go upstream and attacked Runzhou.

Runzhou is also known as Jingkou. Isn’t there a poem called Jingkou Guazhou Yishui? Guazhou belongs to the ferry under Yangzhou. It is separated by two places and one water. Since ancient times, Runzhou has been a must-fight for military strategists.

Nan Tang established the Zhenhai Army here.

Li Hongji went north from Runzhou and went to Yangzhou to supervise the battle himself.

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor left, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty arrived in Runzhou. If the Zhou soldiers cut off the route, His Majesty the Emperor would become a kite with broken strings. What's wrong!

The Duke of the Shenwei Army, the Duke of Yuhou and the governor of Zhenhai, exhausted all their strength and defended Runzhou.

He seconded a group of warships from Jinling, selected warriors, and launched a counterattack against Ren Tianxing.

Nan Tang also absorbed the experience of previous naval confrontations. They reinforced the ships to defend against flowering bullets, and prepared sand and soil on the ships to deal with tinder oil.

They also installed horns and prepared large crossbows.

After some modification, the navy of the Southern Tang Dynasty finally stopped being beaten.

Ren Tianxing tasted the bitter fruit of failure. He lost thirty warships and had an arrow on his arm. However, this guy is a bandit and will never suffer any loss.

Before he could recover from the injury, he immediately mobilized his subordinates to counterattack. He first sent a team of ships to attract the Southern Tang Navy, and then concentrated his troops to siege the opponent, severely damaged the Southern Tang Navy, captured more than 50 ships, and killed thousands of enemy soldiers.

Ren Tianxing took advantage of the victory and chased him, but he encountered more Nan Tang ships and called him back.

Obviously, both sides had their lives.

Ren Tianxing was furious, but he couldn't make a breakthrough quickly. After all, Li Hongji spent a lot of money to build the Yangtze River Navy, which was extraordinary.

Ye Hua is already very satisfied with being able to kill evenly.

He commanded the army and rushed to the front line of Jiangyin, where Yang Ye met.

After several days of renovation, Yang Ye recovered his spirits.

"Mr. Marquis, Old Ren is not capable of taking Runzhou, it depends on us! I will go up the river and attack Runzhou now." Yang Ye also plans to go upstream with Ren Tianxing again to capture Runzhou.

Ye Hua pondered for a moment and expressed his objection.

"The 50,000 people who attacked Suzhou before, 20,000 of them were transferred back to Runzhou to defend by Li Hongji, because they were afraid of being robbed from the back. We cannot fight them head-on now, and it is enough to let Ren Tianxing entangle the Runzhou defenders. We must take Changzhou first!" Ye Hua expressed his plan.

Yang Ye did not say anything, he absolutely obeyed the orders.

"Marty, I will lead the troops to attack now!"

"Don't be busy, wait for another three days." Ye Hua smiled and said, "The time is not yet."

Yang Ye was eager to fight, but he had no choice but to obey Ye Hua's orders and thought to himself that he could wait. Wait for three days, can the divine weapon fall from the sky?

Yang Ye really guessed it right.

In just these three days, Fu Zhaoxin came from Xuancheng with three thousand soldiers.

Due to the implementation of the policy of land distribution, Dazhou temporarily gained a foothold in Xuancheng. Fu Zhaoxin had enough self-protection and was not enterprising enough. He was still doing nothing when he was on the way. He simply retreated back to Taihu Lake first, then transported it by ship, bypassing the important place of the Southern Tang army stationed, and suddenly appeared south of Changzhou.

Although Fu Zhaoxin has not many people, the spiritual shock brought by him is unparalleled.

To the north is Yang Ye's army, and to the south is Fu Zhaoxin. The small Changzhou has been surrounded by the Great Zhou, and the people in the city are in panic all day long.

Unlike other places, Pan Chengyou, the minister of the Honglu Temple, was responsible for guarding Changzhou. In theory, can a civil servant lead the army?

It’s true that Pan Chengyou is different from ordinary civil officials. He was an official in Wuyue in his early years and served as the military officer of the Guangzhou judicial system. Because he was upright and did not favor personal feelings, he offended his superiors. With Wuyue’s virtue, he has always been defeated by inferior victory. Pan Chengyou was dismissed from his official position and returned to his hometown.

Later, the Min Kingdom was destroyed by the Southern Tang Dynasty. When Li Hongji heard about Pan Chengyou's reputation, he appointed him as the Minister of the Honglu Temple and also in charge of the affairs of the Fujian Province.

Pan Chengyou worked diligently and well-managed. He recruited young and strong men and defeated pirates several times, and he successfully trained a very powerful team.

This time, when the Great Zhou Dynasty went south, Li Hongji remembered Pan Chengyou and transferred him to Changzhou.

Under Pan Chengyou's men, there are many warriors who can fight and kill, including Xu Wenzhen, Chen Decheng, Zheng Yanhua, and Lin Renzhao. Among these people, Lin Renzhao is the most brave, known as Lin Huzi, with a strong figure and a strong personality, and is like a tiger.

Pan Chengyou came with the heroes of the Fujian Province, and his heart was very enthusiastic, and he really wanted to work hard for Li Hongji.

However, after he came, Chen Qiao, the assistant minister of the disciple, arranged Pan Chengyou in Changzhou on the grounds that Nan barbarians were violent and disobeying Wang Hua, and did not transfer them to the capital, nor sent them to Yangzhou. He left them aside in one sentence.

That's fine. Since it is a guest army, the supply of various military supplies is not sufficient, and the rice they eat is moldy. They often deduct military pay, making some money for ten or hundreds of dollars. In addition, the cold words made everyone complain.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have come.

Fortunately, Pan Chengyou has a high prestige. When he came, he prepared sufficient food and salary, so he would not finally starve his subordinates.

But the current situation of war has changed three times a day, which caught him off guard.

The Great Zhou had already obtained the land of Wu and Yue, and the two attacks were launched, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was in danger.

According to the principle, we should first attack Suzhou and destroy this partial master before we can compete with the emperor of the Great Zhou. This is the regular task. Pan Chengyou wrote several letters, but the truth was so heavy that no one paid attention to him.

"Your Majesty, if you want to let the last generals say that there is no need to worry about the court." Xu Wenzhen said unceremoniously.

Pan Chengyou looked solemn, "Your Majesty treats me as a recreation. Not only did he appoint me as the Minister of the Honglu Temple, but he also granted the position of governor of the Qingyuan Army as a military officer. He held two positions in civil and military affairs, but he had unprecedented grace. As a minister, he should do his best to assist the Holy King."

He was righteous and stern, but Xu Wenzhen shook his head, "Emister, Rong Mo will say something too much. It turns out that we are all ministers of the Min Kingdom. Later, the Min Kingdom was destroyed by the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now, the Great Zhou came to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty again... The Buddhist scriptures say that this is called a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unhappy. If you ask me, let's just watch the fun, the Southern Tang Dynasty does not take us seriously anyway!"

"shut up!"

Pan Chengyou suddenly turned pale and furious, "Xu Wenzhen, what are you saying? It is the duty of a minister to do your duty. I advise you to take back what you said just now. I just pretend that I have never heard of it. From now on, you are not allowed to think so, otherwise I will never be polite!"

Pan Chengyou turned his head and turned his back, not looking at Xu Wenzhen anymore.

Xu Wenzhen nodded, he got up and went to the door, but did not leave. At this time, three more people walked in from outside, Chen Decheng and Zheng Yanhua, among them, an old man was surrounded by, none other than Han Xizai!

"Hahaha, old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you invite me to sit down?"

When Pan Chengyou saw Han Xizai, he suddenly opened his eyes wide open, "The thief who is backed by the Lord, why do you have the attitude to see me?"

Han Xizai laughed, "Brother, have you forgotten that you were once a minister of Wu Yue!"

Pan Chengyou's old face turned red, "Hmph, the king of Wu and Yue, if you don't listen to advice, the treacherous and slander blocked the way, I have no choice!"

Han Xizai smiled and said, "You are like this, why don't I be so? Why, you are only allowed to surrender to the wise king, so I am not allowed to surrender to the heroic master?"

Pan Chengyou was speechless for a while, and he gritted his teeth, "Han Xizai, you can speak eloquently, I can't tell you. I can't let you go in our friendship at the beginning. But please remember that we are enemies of the two countries. I will never be polite when we meet again next time!"

He waved his sleeves and said, "Send out the guests!"

Han Xizai listened patiently. Instead of leaving, he smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's Tieguanyin, what a tea!"

Putting down the teacup, Han Xizai smiled and said, "Brother, why don't you ask, how did I enter the city!"

Pan Chengyou was shocked. At this time, Xu Wenzhen, Chen Decheng and Zheng Yanhua stood behind Han Xizai together.

"Empress, we are determined to surrender to the Great Zhou. Please follow the will of heaven and don't be obsessed with it!"

All his subordinates surrendered, and Pan Chengyou was shocked, "You, how dare you betray Your Majesty?"
