The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 264 Desperate for it
Under the night, sharp arrows rained like rain.

In the city of Chuzhou, screams can be heard endlessly.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Wang Yuan's mouth on the tower. He is not an idiot. How could he not notice that many soldiers have behaved abnormally in recent days?

However, he never carried out a massacre. He just killed a few people casually, and then provoked these people to mutiny, and then wiped them all out. Killing these people with different intentions, the entire Chuzhou City will be stronger.

The air smelled of blood, and the wind was cold.

"Brothers, rush out, if we can't, we will die here." Those soldiers who wanted to seek refuge in Nantang were very desperate when their deeds were revealed, but in their despair, there was a glimmer of hope.

That's right, in their current situation, they can only rush out, but can they rush out?
They don't have many people, only 5000 people, but Wang Yuan has more than [-] people in his hands. They are undoubtedly hitting stones with eggs.

But if the Song people were willing to save them, they would have a chance, but would the Song people make such a big sacrifice for them?

When hope rises, despair follows, as if life is like this, disappointment and despair have always been accompanied by each other.

Outside the city of Chuzhou, Cao Bin, who had been waiting all this time, suddenly heard the screams inside, and his heart was shocked, and he knew that the people inside had been exposed.

"Liu Concubine, the people inside have been exposed, I'm afraid we will have to find another chance to break through the city."

Under the night, Liu Wei's eyes were bright, and the corners of her mouth were slightly bitten by her teeth.

His expression was unclear, but Cao Bin felt an indescribable strangeness.

"Siege, siege at all costs."

"This..." Cao Bin was a little puzzled. Wouldn't it be contrary to their original intention to attack the city at this time?
But Liu Wei was resolute. To attack the city, he must break through Chuzhou City tonight.

Cao Bin saw that the taste of Liu was so good, so he had to order to attack the city. For a while, the Song people came out and attacked the fortified Chuzhou city.

The sound of slaughter outside the city was endless, and when the soldiers inside the city heard it, hope was ignited in their hearts.

"Brothers, rush forward, the Song people have not given up on us."

"Kill, kill!"

"Kill, if you can kill, you will survive."

All of a sudden, all the soldiers in Chuzhou City became brave. They were red-eyed, and the bright red blood was thrown under the night sky. The smell of blood made people want to vomit.

In the dark night, Cao Bin looked at Liu Wei with some puzzlement: "Liu Concubine, what are you?"

Liu Wei sighed softly: "The soldiers who surrendered in the city want to join us. If we ignore them, what will the people and soldiers of Southern Tang think of us? They will think that we are cold, and we don't want to help their king return to the country at all. , so, even if we can capture Chuzhou City, what about Jinling?"

"Jinling has Li Congshan's [-] soldiers and horses. We can't fight head-on with him. Therefore, we must let the people and soldiers of Jinling City know that we are worthy of their trust and that we are here to help their lord restore the country. Only in this way can we reduce losses when attacking Jinling."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, the night became darker, and the surrounding air became oppressive. Cao Bin has been fighting since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. He has fought for almost half his life, but until today, he finally understood how to fight.

Fighting, bloodshed, sacrifice, are these wars?
These are just the actions of fools.

In a real war, victory should be achieved with the least loss, and at the same time, the vision must be long enough to see the entire situation, not the gains and losses of a city or a place.
-
Wang Yuan on the tower frowned tightly, and on the bridge of his nose, there was cold sweat.

He was a little shocked, he didn't expect the people of Song Dynasty to attack so crazy.

In fact, from the very beginning, he felt that it was impossible for Da Song to attack the city madly for Li Yu, but now it seems that he was wrong, very wrong.

At the beginning, he just wanted to kill those who were ready to rebel, so only [-] soldiers and horses were left at the city gate. How can he resist the attacks of the enemy inside and outside now?
"Come on, go to the barracks and mobilize soldiers and horses."

After a guard took the order, he rushed to the barracks in a hurry. At this time, the surrendered soldiers in the city had already killed the city gate.

boom.

The guards in the city guarded the city gate again and again, while fighting with the rebels, so how could they resist the attack of the Song people?

The gate of the city was broken, and the commander of the Song army drove straight in.

Liu Wei and Cao Bin led troops into the city, but he did not order the people of Song Dynasty to kill. He just shouted: "We only kill the rebel Wang Yuan. If you soldiers are willing to surrender, your lord will never blame you. .”

Liu Wei's order was passed on non-stop in Chuzhou City, and a soldier who followed Wang Yuan's heart moved: "General, the enemy is strong, you should flee to Jinling first."

Wang Yuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He knew that his situation was over. He looked at the soldiers who persuaded him: "Follow me out of the city and return to Jinling. I will protect your prosperity..."

Wang Yuan didn't finish his sentence, because the soldier who persuaded him to flee Chuzhou just now stabbed him in the heart suddenly while he was not paying attention.

The blood left along the blade, but Wang Yuan's blood was out of proportion to the blood shed by those soldiers.

"You..." Wang Yuan couldn't believe that the soldier who wanted to escape from Chuzhou City just now was going to kill him the next moment.

A sneer appeared on the corner of the soldier's mouth: "Since the general situation is gone, why don't you be my bargaining chip?"

After finishing speaking, the soldier drew out the knife stuck in Wang Yuan's body, the knife came out, blood flowed, and Wang Yuan fell to the ground head-on, the soldier cut off Wang Yuan's head without any hesitation, and shouted loudly: "Wang Yuan has been killed Kill, follow me to meet the king."

The fighting and chaos quickly calmed down, and the darkest before dawn slowly came.

Li Yu looked at his [-] Southern Tang sergeants, and couldn't help crying.

"Soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, my lord will bring you back to Jinling and regain power. At that time, my lord will never forget you."

"Swear to defend the lord, swear to defend the lord."

The sound of the oath resounded through the sky, but Liu Wei was indifferent. Now Li Yu has [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, which is not a bad thing for them, at least because when Li Congshan fought Jinling decisively, their soldiers in the Song Dynasty did not have to work too hard.

However, although Liu Wei was indifferent, he was very interested in the soldier who killed Wang Yuan. It is definitely not easy for a person who can recognize the situation in this situation and kill Wang Yuan. At least he is a very good soldier. Utilitarian people.

"What's the name of that soldier?"

"Diao Yu!"

"Diao Ling, Diao Ling?" Liu Wei repeated the name twice, and then showed a sneer.
-
Jinling City.

The flowers in Jinling are still fragrant, and the butterfly dance is still beautiful, but the people in Jinling City are in panic and restlessness all day long.

Their king is back, but in the current palace, they still have an emperor, what should they do?
They are disturbed, and besides that, they are even more disturbed that nothing tastes good these days.

Refined salt is gone.

Southern Tang’s refined salt does not mean that you can buy as much as you want, no matter how rich you are, there is a quota for each purchase, and if you exceed it, you will never sell it.

Shi Bo has been very uneasy these days. Of course, his uneasiness is not because of refined salt. For a person like him, refined salt is just the icing on the cake. Without refined salt, he can still eat delicious food.

His anxiety is whether this turmoil will have an adverse impact on his Shi family's business.

Is he going to help Li Yu or Li Congshan?
The choice wasn't hard, but it wasn't easy either.

But thinking that Li Yu is now escorted by Song people, and Liu Wei is among them, this choice is much easier and faster.

After the news of the collapse of Chuzhou City spread to Jinling, Jinling City became more chaotic and the people were even more frightened.

Li Congshan was angry and disbelieving.

Chuzhou City is the barrier of Jinling City. He asked Wang Yuan to deploy it very tightly. How could it be broken so easily by the Song people?According to his calculations, if the Song people attacked the city with all their strength, Chuzhou City should be able to last for a month, and if the Song people did not attack the city with all their strength, then the Song people would probably be blocked outside Chuzhou City forever.

In his opinion, it is impossible for Song people to stay in Southern Tang for a month. One month is not a long time, but it is very bad for the Song army who is alone.

Can the supplies be supplied?

But these things don't exist now, because Chuzhou City is broken, and their next goal is Jinling.

Li Congshan raised his eyebrows. The walls of Jinling City were very tall, and he also had perfect plans, but what was the attitude of the people of Jinling City?

It stands to reason that he shouldn't care too much about the attitudes of those people, but the destruction of Chuzhou City made him feel that the attitudes of the people are very important, especially the attitude of those soldiers. If those soldiers are interested in Li Yu, then he is no different from An undercover agent was placed in his barracks.

He, Li Congshan, would never allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, he asked his military adviser for advice.

After being silent for a long time, the Broken Foot man said: "The reason why the military advisers and common people in the Southern Tang Dynasty hesitated is because they thought that the Song people were helping Li Yu instead of destroying Southern Tang, but if we make them think that the Song people are going to destroy us in Southern Tang , Do you think they will share the same hatred with the Holy One?"

Li Congshan was overjoyed, and then quickly asked: "How to make them think that the Song people are going to destroy me in Southern Tang?"

"It's easy to handle. Your Majesty only needs to send dozens of people to pretend to be Song people, and then burn, kill and loot other places. When the news spreads to Jinling City, what will our people and soldiers think? If there are Song people ready What will they do when the news of the massacre comes in?"

Li Congshan's heart tightened when he heard that he was going to burn, kill and loot in his Southern Tang land, but he finally nodded.
