Chapter 727 Provoking Discord
The heavy rain was still falling, the sky turned white, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, the heavy rain finally stopped, but the city of Jeju was still quiet, yesterday's shouts of killing scared the people in the city.

There are many officials in Jeju City, and the general who stays behind is Zhang Xi, Zhang Min's distant cousin.

Zhang Xi came back after chasing him, and he was in a terrible state of distress. He captured many southern soldiers. These southern soldiers were troops loyal to the Min family. They were captured and abandoned halfway, and Zhang Xi brought them back.

However, Zhang Xi didn't trust these soldiers. Who knew if there were any spies mixed in. At this moment, the soldiers and horses controlled by the Min family were suspected by Zhang Xi and others.

The Min family was so angry that they were blatantly sowing discord, but they couldn't speak clearly.

Zhang Xi patted the table, "More than 2 soldiers and horses fled, damn it, and destroyed five barracks."

At present, the casualties have not been counted yet. Zhang Xi stared at the Min family with gloomy eyes. Whether it was a scheme or not, the soldiers of the Min family could not be trusted.

This is only Jeju. A large number of soldiers and horses from Nanzhou defected first, and the news has not yet reached Jeju.

The escape route had already been arranged, and the two groups of soldiers and horses went straight to Binzhou. Unfortunately, they didn't get too many horses. However, they were able to eat and drink with an open stomach in the past two days, and the soldiers were full and strong enough to run.

Zhang Xi sent several groups of soldiers and horses to chase after him, but was distracted by the elite soldiers of Xiao Jiu's belt, and lost the pursuit.

When the news reached the camp of the Northern Expedition army, Ming Jiao and the others laughed, "The city will be attacked in two days."

At this time, the army of the Northern Expedition had already stationed in Xinzhou, and was confronting Jiang's soldiers and horses.

In Ezhou in the south, Yang Xi and his wife finally arrived in Ezhou. The roads in Huizhou and Ezhou are still being repaired, which affects the speed of travel.

When I arrived in Ezhou, I followed Zhou Lin to live. The house here was Zhou Lin's new house, which cost Zhou Lin 5000 taels, which was not cheap.

The owner of this house fled to the north, and was managed by the government office during the inventory. These days, it has been under pressure in his hands. It's not that he doesn't sell it, but that no one buys it.

Those who have money in their hands are better off buying fields than houses, especially fields. As long as someone sells fields, they will sell them without waiting for the dental dealer to come to their door.

Zhou Lin bought the house and tidied it up, but it still looked empty.

Yang Xi and his wife were not tired, and asked Zhou Lin to take them on a tour of the house. Yang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Are you planning to stay in Ezhou?"

Zhou Lin touched his nose, "I won't settle down, and I will leave next summer at the latest."

Zhou Yu teased, "The people who want to start a family are different."

Look, how thoughtful my brother is.

Zhou Lin's ears turned red, "Brother, I'm all for errands."

Zhou Yu snorted. He didn't believe his younger brother's words, but he was also glad that his younger brother knew how to consider his future wife. "Tomorrow, the official media will come to our door. Let's choose a good day to propose marriage."

His idea of ​​getting married early will be quicker, and the last burden in his heart can be put down.

Zhou Lin didn't hesitate, he was not young anymore, "Okay."

Yang Xi said again: "You help us refuse the official's visit, we want to have a good rest."

Zhou Lin wrote it down, and seeing that it was getting late, "Brother, sister-in-law, you should rest first."

Yang Xi and his wife were really tired after visiting the house. The two of them rested for a while and the food was ready. Yang Xi was very moved when he saw the table full of food, and said to his younger brother: "We used to give you money, but now we also enjoy it." You are thoughtful."

Zhou Yu took his wife to sit down, served soup for her first, and glanced at his younger brother, "He is also a man who is going to start a family."

Zhou Lin's face is very thick now, because his brother-in-law is here, he eats very happily, and uses the serving chopsticks to pick up food for his brother-in-law from time to time.

The Wei family received the news that the princess and Lord Hou had arrived, and Wei's father asked his daughter again, "Is there really no need to change the house?"

Wei Ru was helpless, "Father, it's too late to change now."

Father Wei sighed, "We are not only Gao Pan, your father and I have no idea."

Wei Ru understands that her father is concerned about gains and losses, because she has also experienced it, "Father, you just need to keep a normal mind, our family does not seek wealth."

Father Wei looked at his leg. His leg was lame. He really didn't have any wealth to ask for. Looking at the other heirs, Father Wei's mouth twitched. The wisdom of the Wei family was concentrated on the eldest daughter. However, the other sons and daughters are mediocre. , at least mediocrity cannot afford ambition.

The purpose of Yang Xi and his wife's visit to Ezhou City has already been spread. The people who spread the rumors about Wei Ru were dumbfounded. Although Master Zhou and Wei's daughter got close, they really didn't expect to propose marriage!
Many people regretted beating their breasts one after another, and they would have sent their daughters for reference if they knew it earlier.

Some people regretted it, some were jealous, and some were ashamed. For a while, the Wei family in Fucheng attracted all eyes. Many people thought darkly, the princess and Lord Hou rejected the marriage after seeing the daughter of the Wei family. Not too young.

Unfortunately, the next day, the official media from Fucheng came to the door, and Yang Xi and his wife counted the auspicious day, and officially proposed marriage three days later.

The news spread all of a sudden, and at the same time, there was a generous betrothal gift.

When the convoy entered the city, many people saw it and wondered what they had brought. Now that they knew it, they envied the Wei family even more.

In Xinzhou City, Patriarch Jiang had no chance of winning. This time, Yang Xixuan's army did not do any small tricks. They not only informed the time of the siege, but also wrote that Zhang Huang was not worthy of being a king.

The owner of the Jiang family regretted it, but it was too late to regret it. He and the Zhang family's interests were entangled, and they could no longer be separated.

Even if several armies arrived in Xinzhou, Patriarch Jiang still didn't have much chance of winning. He saw a cannon, and his forehead was covered with sweat as long as he recalled it.

Some generals dismissed it, thinking that the rumors made Yang Xixuan a myth, some believed in the man chosen by heaven, and some didn't believe it, thinking it was just to create momentum.

However, during the real siege, the generals in Xinzhou saw the power of the new cannon. In order to smooth the Northern Expedition, the army of the Northern Expedition carried the most advanced cannon, which had never been seen before.

With the rumbling sound, the soldiers on the city wall were blown away along with the city wall. The giant crossbow on the city wall lost its aim. Before the giant arrows could be installed, the artillery shot over and destroyed the crossbow.

Today the Northern Expeditionary Army started the first battle of the Northern Expedition, attacking with a strong posture, the cannons blew up the city gate, and taking advantage of the panic of the soldiers on the city wall, General Liu raised his long knife and shouted, "Follow me into the city."

General Liu rushed into the city gate with his cavalry, and there was a shout of killing in the city. Ming Jiao took firecrackers and shot the archers on the city wall, and soon occupied the high ground of the city wall. Han Chenhui took the archers to occupy a favorable position and shot and killed the The fish that slipped through the net.

The rapid destruction of the city completely shattered the confidence of the defenders. The powerful cavalry rushed to kill, followed by the cover of firecrackers behind them, and the well-trained archers occupied the commanding heights. A one-sided massacre was carried out in the city.

No one shouted to surrender and not to kill, Ming Jiao and Han Chenhui agreed that this battle should be deterred by killing.

The Jiang family leader committed suicide when the city was broken. He could not be captured but died in battle. The Jiang family also committed suicide, and then the Jiang family mansion caught fire.

The city was destroyed too quickly, and there was no time for the Jiang family to retreat. The Jiang family died after defending, and the other soldiers chose to flee.

There are still people in the city. The Northern Expedition soldiers cleaned the battlefield and did not bother the people. In order to appease the people, they also sent some food, along with the food, there were brochures.

This means that Yang Xixuan has a lot of money, and printing brochures also requires a lot of money.
