Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Yang Ye was on the southeast corner building, covering his forehead with his palm, frowning tightly, looking at the fierce scene over there. I can't see the scene over there clearly, the smoke and dust are too big, and the distance is too far away. But after a while, the soldiers sent came back to report the military situation.

Looking at the avenue in the city, the troops of the formation system were trotting and mobilizing, constantly sending reinforcements to Nancheng. Looking at this scene, one can tell that Feng Jinke's battle is very tense!

Not only Yang Ye was paying attention to the war all the time, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty in the imperial city was about to hear a report every time a stick of incense burned.

The defense area that Yang Ye is patrolling now has a very weak offense, and there is no threat at all. Occasionally, someone came over and shot an arrow, and was quickly counterattacked; but Yang Ye did not go to the most tense south of the city, where Feng Jinke was ordered to supervise the battle area.

At this moment, I saw a few rangers galloping towards them, all of them carrying bows and arrows... After all, melee cavalry is useless, and no matter what heavy cavalry is at the bottom of the city wall, no matter what kind of heavy cavalry it is, it is useless. The first rider galloped twenty paces below the city wall, shot an arrow up from the side, pulled the string until the arrow didn't stop at all, so he didn't aim.

The white mass on the arrow flew towards the city wall. The soldiers knew at a glance that it was something like the "Letter of Persuasion to Surrender", so they hurriedly picked it up and sent it to Yang Ye, the highest military officer.

Yang Ye opened it in public and saw that it was stamped with the seal of the Privy Council of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and what seemed to be the scribbled words of Emperor Guo Shao himself: Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He read the content again, it was written that the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty should tie Zhao Kuangyin and other important people out of the city; after the city is broken in the future, the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty will be guaranteed to live safe and enjoy wealth!

Yang Ye was stunned for a moment. What he found difficult was how to deal with this letter...Yang Ye's father separated Linzhou and served as governor. Although it was a small place, he had seen a lot when he was a child;

If you show this letter to the generals, it will damage the morale of the army, because the content says "after the city is broken", if you dare to talk to Zhou Guo, wouldn't you admit that Jinyang will be broken in front of the soldiers? What are you guys doing!

But if this letter is destroyed, first of all, I will be suspected if I cannot get rid of the responsibility; secondly, if I confess the content, who can guess what the (Northern Han) emperor was thinking? It's okay to cut off the emperor's way of life!

After weighing it for a while, Yang Ye immediately left the city and rode back to the palace. Just at the gate of the imperial city, he ran into Zhao Kuangyin...the two looked at each other. Yang Ye didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin meant, and I'm afraid Zhao Kuangyin didn't know that he had something to sell him; but Yang Ye felt that he didn't sell him, and the decision-making power was not in his hands.

Yang Ye quickly walked into the imperial city, and saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, as if he had never left.

... Liu Jun, the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, sat there with sweaty palms in his sleeves.

"Boom boom boom..." The huge artillery sound made the palace tremble, and the only reliable barrier, the city wall of Jinyang City, seemed to be destroyed at any time! Coupled with the fact that there are always reports of emergency ahead and reports of losses, even though Liu Jun, the leader of the Northern Han Dynasty, did not care about the specific defensive tactics, he still felt that the situation was not good.

"Boom! Boom!" Every thunderous cannon sound seemed to hit Liu Jun's heart.

"Your Majesty..." The voice of the eunuch next to him brought him back to his senses, and the eunuch whispered, "General Yang got something, and the servant handed it over to you."

Liu Jun took a look, then looked at Yang Ye below, then looked back at the ministers near the left, and said, "General Yang thinks this thing is credible?"

"It should still be credible..." Yang Ye said cautiously, "Besides, you can send an envoy out of the city to ask the other party to check."

In fact, what Liu Jun wanted to ask was not credibility. He hesitated for a while, and passed the letter of credence to the ministers present. An official immediately came forward and said: "Your Majesty, I only have one word. Since ancient times, many people have died of sudden illness..."

Suddenly someone scolded.

Liu Jun didn't care about the official's "blunt speech" and pretended he didn't hear it.

Yang Ye pondered for a while, and there were only two possibilities for the emperor to reveal the private letter of the Emperor of Zhou to the public at this time: either he was preparing to lead his officials to surrender; or he was preparing to refuse the conditions of self-protection. The former is unlikely. Yang Ye didn't see the emperor's intention to surrender at all, so he didn't say much. After all, he is a general, not a civil servant who specializes in making suggestions.

But someone immediately saw what the emperor meant, and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that since the Lord Zhou took the initiative to negotiate terms, I might as well bargain, change the terms, and replace people with a truce... Then Zhao Kuangyin is actually not very useful. He said a lot, and everything is wrong! The bombing of the city wall didn't happen. Why didn't he mention the gun outside?"

Hearing this, Yang Ye didn't say a word. He didn't have any prejudice against Zhao Kuangyin, but he was also a general, so it would be no good for him to harm him behind his back. Yang Ye will not break the rules.

However, the minister's intention immediately got the approval of several people. Everyone doesn't want to subjugate the country, and life and death are in the hands of a strange | high-ranking person.

Someone immediately echoed: "Then Zhao Kuangyin himself said that now we just need to defend Jinyang City and wait for foreign aid from the Liao army to break the siege. Delay is the best policy. Since Zhou Guozhu has a grudge against Zhao Kuangyin, he really wants to get this person; when the country is in crisis, it is not wrong to let Zhao Kuangyin sacrifice his life for the country."

"Yes, a one-month truce? Lord Zhou probably doesn't want to agree, and they know our plan; Zhao Kuangyin is not as important as Jinyang City! How about half a month?"

After hearing this, Liu Jun took it for granted, and immediately got everyone's second opinion, so he ordered an envoy to go out of the city with a letter to negotiate.

... Guo Shao first saw the letter that night, and immediately sent a video to several civil servants around him.

Unexpectedly, Wang Pu, who has always attached great importance to publicity, said without hesitation: "We can talk about it."

Guo Shaodao: "Break Jinyang City, Zhao Kuangyin will not be able to escape. The truce affects the overall situation. Why did Wang Shijun say that?"

Wang Pu said: "Not fifteen days, three days!"

"A three-day truce is useless?" Guo Shao pondered, "Will the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty be willing?"

Wang Pu said calmly: "People are not things. Since a person can be sold, he has no weight in the heart of the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty. It can be sold for fifteen days, or three days! Tomorrow the Zhou army will increase the intensity of the siege and put pressure on the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty. I think it is feasible."

Guo Shao looked back at Zuo You.

Zuo You said: "If the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty can really promise to kidnap people in three days, this will have little impact on the war. The Great Zhou Army can also take this opportunity to repair and replenish supplies."

When Guo Shao thought of Zhao Kuangyin somewhere, he gritted his teeth with hatred. This person is also a figure who can be the founding emperor, and he is not comparable to ordinary people. I can't wait now, I want to get Zhao Kuangyin as soon as possible!
