Compared to Ye Hua's uproar in the south of the Yangtze River and making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, in Yangzhou, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were just one word: coward!

A few days ago, in order to confuse Li Hongji, the Emperor personally arranged the illusion of food shortage. After Li Hongji crossed the river, he performed even more too much, such as letting the soldiers scatter, digging wild vegetables everywhere, and running to the canal to go down the net to catch fish... all the powerful generals were frustrated.

To be honest, there is not much food in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, there is no food in the years of war, coupled with light taxes and low taxes, the warehouses have limited grain storage, but there is no problem in supplying military rations.

First of all, Wang Pu from Hedong, as the confidant of His Majesty the Emperor, was in Hedong and fully implemented Ye Hua's strategy. All large plains and good land were planned to build farms, and small peasant economy was not allowed to exist.

When food was needed, all these farmers were moved. They were also soldiers who fought wars in the past. Knowing the key to military rations, the first order was to allocate 50% of the output.

After the second mobilization order came out, another 30% of the food was taken out.

There are only 20% of the grain stored in each farm, but even so, they can still be mobilized. At worst, they can send all the barbarians and coolies to the mines. Anyway, as long as they win in the front line, they will not lose money!

In Youzhou, the general situation is the same, and these two points contributed 1.5 million stones.

In addition, after Hebei and Jingji implemented the distribution of land, the people actively farmed and in order to improve their lives, they took out most of the grain for sale. As long as the court paid, they could sell enough grain.

Therefore, before the war began, the three departments raised three million stones of military rations.

Wang Pu made an estimate that if the extreme mobilization was achieved, the Great Zhou could afford five million stones. If it was really not possible, he could still issue debts and collect surplus grain... In short, this is a war that must be won!

The Great Zhou was united and devoted himself to his full strength. In contrast, Nan Tang deserved to be ashamed. From the beginning, they lost.

Of course, as the emperor and the commander of the three armies, I still dare not be careless.

Three hundred thousand people, not three hundred thousand pigs!

"I want to eat it in one bite. Ye Qing, don't look at you as the champion Hou, but when it comes to your ability to command the army and fight, you will always be second in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Chai Rong held the table with his hands and stared at the sand table in front of him. The sand table was made very meticulously, not only with mountains, rivers, cities and villages, but also with several wells in each village.

Chai Rong kept portraying in his mind and deducing the situation. Gradually, he showed a satisfied smile.

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan just heard an urgent report, and the champion Hou has arrived at the city of Jinling!"

After receiving the urgent report, Chai Rong first looked at the date. Because of the delay in delivering the message, Ye Hua attacked Jinling four days ago. Is the four days enough for the champion Hou to win Jinling?

Chai Rong shook his head, but this was indeed a signal.

"Your Majesty, order the troops to be sent!"

Hanlin bachelor Li Si said anxiously: "Champion Hou attacked Jinling, and Li Hongji will inevitably retreat to rescue. If he hesitated, he will let Li Hongji go!"

Chai Rong pondered for a while and shook his head, "Sir Li, you send the order to let the soldiers continue to accumulate energy. At most, a war will come!"

"What? Have to wait three days?" Li Si screamed in fear. The nest caught fire. As long as Li Hongji is not a lunatic, he will return troops immediately. How could he wait three days?

Isn't this a joke?

Li Si really wanted to argue with His Majesty for a few words, but Chai Rong's face sank, "This is the will, and you must not disobey!"

Li Si had no choice but to come out of the imperial tent, but he met Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong, Zhang Yongde and others. They were all ready to go, and they were so anxious that they could not help.

Zhao Kuangyin shouted, "Yang Ye is lucky. He followed the Marquis to kill all over the world, but let us be idle here. Look, my belly is three circles bigger and I can't even put on my armor. Those who don't know would think they are pregnant!"

Han Tong pondered: "Sir Li, if you don't go to the battle again, I'm afraid you will miss the opportunity!"

Li Si spread his hands, "I have no choice. Your Majesty's will is like this. If you don't obey the order, you will be beheaded!"

There was no way for everyone to wait.

Under the light, Chai Rong closed his eyes slightly and thought with a smile on his lips.

The civil and military officials under his command have many talented people, but their vision is still far behind.

In addition to being unearthy, Li Hongji also has another problem, which is that he is arrogant and arrogant. He is willing to take everything and kill his father and seize power, so he wants to achieve success.

If he cannot compete for the Central Plains, he will become a joke for all eternity, which is something Li Hongji is definitely unwilling to accept.

When Ye Hua attacked Jinling, he retreated, gave up Yangzhou, gave up the entire Jiangbei, and retreated to Jiangnan. At most, he would be in a corner and no longer have the possibility of turning around.

So Li Hongji will bet a big bet!

He wanted to defeat me first and then clean up the chaos in Jiangnan!

He doesn't want to lose anything, but he wants to make a fortune!

"Li Hongji, you are destined to pay the price for your greed!"

Chai Rong was full of confidence. Li Hongji not only could not beat Ye Hua, but he was not Chai Rong's opponent. Just as Chai Rong expected, when he learned that Jinling was in crisis, he just sent Xu Xuan to clean up the mess, and he carried the army and launched the attack first!

The confrontation between the two emperors is here!

Li Hongji made careful preparations for this day. He wore brand new armor and rode a Persian war horse transported from the sea, a tall divine horse, and looked down on his civil and military personnel.

He held a knife in his hand and gave it to Xu Xuan the Emperor's sword. This knife was used when he led his troops to destroy the Min Kingdom. It was the battle that made the world know that the weak Li Jing actually had a good martial son!

"Blessed by ancestors of all dynasties in the Tang Dynasty, this battle will be won!"

After Li Hongji prayed silently, he suddenly urged his horse and rushed past the soldiers. The 300,000 army gave Li Hongji unparalleled confidence. No matter how bad the situation was, he still had people and would definitely turn the tables!

After running down a lap, he returned to the middle. He raised his sword high and shouted loudly, "The Tang Dynasty will win!"

"The Tang Dynasty will win!"

"The Tang Dynasty will win!"

...

The sound of roars was shocking, the Yangzhou city gate was open, and teams of soldiers were pouring out like a tide... What a scene it would be for 300,000 people!

Covering the sky and the sun, the wind and clouds change color.

Countless people gathered quickly to form a powerful torrent and rushed towards the military camp of the Great Zhou. The flagpole was like sorghum, and the spear was like wheat ears... Li Hongji had issued an order. In this battle, he was allowed to move forward and not retreat. He could kill the Emperor Guo Rong of the Great Zhou and be appointed as the king immediately! All soldiers, as long as they make military achievements - award the field! Award the title!

My God!

Li Hongji actually took out all Ye Hua's tricks. Didn't you just rely on this trick to force tens of thousands of people to serve you? I also use it, and I will use it on the Emperor of Great Zhou!

Li Hongji was full of confidence, but he ignored it. The soldiers were not fools. Dazhou had long promoted equalization and was the same as in Jiangnan, and everyone believed it.

But what kind of person is you, Li Hongji?

How many people can believe it after a sudden change? His move can only be said to be effective, but it is not as beautiful as he thought!

With strong confidence, Li Hongji was ready to fight to the death.

But Chai Rong had just woken up. His Majesty the Emperor finished washing meticulously and asked his subordinates to put on his armor. Taking advantage of the situation of armor, Chai Rong ate beef jerky.

He calculated his time extremely accurately. This was an unprecedented fierce battle. If you can sleep for a while, you will be more energetic! Everyone can rest, but he, the coach, must be awake at all times!

After Chai Rong finished dressing, all the generals outside the imperial tent were ready.

A guard brought a light golden sweat-blooded horse!

That’s right, it’s the stallion that ran to Ye’s mansion!

Since hundreds of mares were pregnant, the Ye family finally felt compassionate and restored their freedom to the bloody horse. They led them to run outside the city to train and feed the best forage. Finally, not long ago, the bloody horse returned to its former toughness and spirit.

When Fu San went south, he brought the horse to his brother-in-law. Well, this is the debt, so don’t come to trouble us.

Chai Rong flew on the war horse and faced the rising sun. The light golden sweat-blooded horse reflected the sunlight, as if it had a layer of gold on Chai Rong!

Everyone was amazed in their hearts: His Majesty the Emperor is so handsome!

"All the soldiers, follow me to defeat the enemy!"

At Chai Rong's order, Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong led two groups of troops to rush out of the camp. Chai Rong personally commanded the central army and faced Li Hongji.

The Great Zhou had only 100,000 people, but their morale was high. They had experienced wars with the Khitan Northern Han, and were extremely fierce and murderous.

This is incomparable to the Southern Tang people.

However, the Southern Tang also has advantages. They are three times that of the Great Zhou Dynasty and are familiar with the climate and environment. They are definitely a strong enemy.

In the past days, Chai Rong has adopted a strategy of sticking to the point where he relied on the camp and bed crossbow to defend against the enemy and would never take the initiative to attack.

The Southern Tang soldiers forgot that they were too far apart in terms of their ability to attack!

"rush!"

The Zhou army marched together to attack and attack!

Chai Rong is like a tiger that has been ambushed in the grass for a long time. Once he decides to attack, he will be fierce and crazy!

Given the huge advantage of the bed crossbow, the Zhou soldiers fought against the Southern Tang soldiers with heavy infantry. The two sides were like two beasts colliding together.

It is a decisive battle from the beginning, and this situation is very rare.

The infantry of Dazhou were wearing plate armor and holding a Mo sword, and were tall and weighty, extremely fierce.

They would not blink their eyes without the bows and arrows passing by their ears and heads, and their fiery eyes were just staring at their opponents.

"kill!"

The Mo Dao swung from bottom to top, swinging quickly. In the flash of cold light, there was a row of Southern Tang soldiers, with blood splattering on the spot, in front of the corpse. However, what was surprising was that the Southern Tang soldiers were not afraid, but instead rushed to kill them.

There are as many as tens of thousands of people fighting for the battle between 400,000 people.

A long line kept falling down and the team continued to replenish it. It was like a flesh-and-blood mill. Even the Modao Hand of Dazhou began to die...
