Chapter 165
"In Danyang, the king's army has been held back for nearly two months, and more than five thousand soldiers have been lost. Zhenjiang City has deep trenches, and there are many fortresses around it. How can we make progress?"

The emperor's voice echoed in the hall, but no one could answer.

Killing more than [-] enemies was much more cost-effective than an ordinary siege, but in fact Yang Zhenlong's troops had no power to make progress.

As for using captives to supplement them, to be honest, if the captives could be used, why would Haragai have to flee?
"Your Majesty, attacking a city has been difficult since ancient times, and attacking the heart is better." Lu Xiufu said, "Now that the Yuan captives have retreated, Zhenjiang will definitely be in fear. It is better to send envoys to surrender."

"Your Majesty, I would like to send an envoy to persuade the villages outside Zhenjiang to surrender." Zhao Cunzhong volunteered.

Being the eunuch of Taipu Temple was a pleasure, but there was no possibility of going any further. For the sake of long-term prosperity and wealth, Zhao Cunzhong decided to take a risk.

A little bit.

His family has followed the emperor for generations, and he has many old friends in the army. Even if he hates him, he will not kill him on sight.

Zhao Shi was actually not at ease with Zhao Cunzhong, but the siege of Danyang was indeed brutal, so he made up his mind.

"Since you asked for your order, I agree to it. However, sending an envoy is a dangerous matter. I am afraid that you will be harmed, and I can't bear it." Zhao Shi said hypocritically.

Zhao Cunzhong replied: "Your Majesty, I have many old friends. I don't think I have to worry about my life. The pain of my skin and flesh is not harmful."

Then go for it.

It happened that Lu Wu wanted to support Yang Zhenlong and set off together.

In Zhenjiang City, Ta Chu frowned and was very worried after listening to Harajui's detailed introduction to the Battle of Danyang.

"I thought Danyang could be defended for half a year, killing [-] Song troops, but I didn't expect it to be broken in two months." Tachu said.

"The Song army is indeed brave. It seems that no one is afraid of death, and they don't know what benefits the little emperor has given them." Haragai really couldn't understand.

"In fact, it is not difficult to understand." Meng Qi said: "The young emperor divided the fields to avoid corvee, which was what the people wanted, but the discipline of the Wang division's army was not strict, and there was only hatred and no kindness wherever they went, so the Song army dared to fight."

He was originally going to Lin'an to discuss the exchange of prisoners, but war broke out between the two countries again, so he stayed in Zhenjiang to discuss military aircraft.

Atahai said: "It is meaningless to say this at this time. The important thing is how to resist the Song army."

"The key lies in the Yangtze River. As long as the Song navy in the lower reaches is defeated, Zhenjiang will be safe and sound." Meng Qi said.

Ha Laji said: "We can ask Governor Zhang to send troops to go down the river and defeat the Song Navy."

"The last general is willing to persuade Governor Zhang and serve as the vanguard." As soon as Lu Shikui said this, everyone present looked sideways.

He was originally just a dandy, and he became an official in the Song Dynasty because of Lu Wende's shadow. After he voted Yuan, his status did not fall but rose in order to stabilize people's hearts.

As for fighting, if he had even [-]% of the skills of his father, Lu Wende, he would have been relied upon by the Song Dynasty to be the governor of the city, and he would not have been like yesterday.State Defense Envoy.

Therefore, everyone thought that he wanted to leave Zhenjiang and go to Jiankang (Nanjing).

"Yes." Ta Chu responded, and then wrote a letter for Lu Shikui to send to Caishiji.

Half a month passed by in a flash. Lu Wu arrived at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain. Yang Zhenlong entered the camp. After entering the commander's tent with him, they discussed the military plan.

"Jiuhua Mountain is high and dangerous, so it would be unwise to attack from above. I also searched for the mountain people, but there was no trail to sneak across.

The only current plan is to station a partial division to confront each other at the foot of the mountain, and the army goes straight to Zhenjiang City.

After the vegetation dries out a little more, a fire will be done. "Yang Zhenlong said his plan.

"Du Tong." Zhao Cunzhong said: "The young general is willing to go to the mountain stronghold and persuade Yuan Lu to surrender."

"The Taipu Temple Supervisor is here under His Majesty's order. You can give it a try." Lu Wu relieved Yang Zhenlong's doubts.

People who are not from my race must have different hearts. Everyone is on guard in their hearts, but we just don’t say it for the sake of unity. "I wonder who will accompany the angel, and what kind of things will he need?" Yang Zhenlong asked.

"It's dangerous and unpredictable here. It's okay to be alone. Just prepare some salted fish for me." Zhao Cunzhong said.

The emperor was not afraid that he would run away, and Yang Zhenlong naturally didn't care either, so he prepared salted fish.

Zhao Cunzhong was used to carrying knives, so it was the first time in his life to carry a pole, and it was quite uncomfortable.

Although he was not short of strength, his shoulders hurt terribly, but he endured it and staggered up the mountain.

"I'm afraid this guy will defect." Yang Zhenlong said.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Wu said: "A mere general has nothing to do with the overall situation."

Zhao Cunzhong could probably guess what the two were thinking, but he didn't pay much attention. When he arrived at the stronghold, he took a look. By coincidence, the alert Baihu recognized him and immediately informed the general Duo'er to know.

Duo'er was furious after hearing the news and said: "How dare you traitor to disturb the morale of our army? Come on, take him to the school ground and kill him for sacrifice."

As a result, Zhao Cunzhong was kidnapped to the school grounds.

Seeing the rightful owner, Zhao Cunzhong shouted: "Duo'erde, I came to save your life, why are you so rude?"

"Traitor, how dare you shake the morale of our army?" Duo'erde shouted.

Seeing that Duo'er did not take action immediately, Zhao Cunzhong secretly rejoiced and said: "You were abandoned by the tower and fell into death. You haven't reflected yet. When death comes, it will be too late to regret."

Duo'erde sneered and said: "Humph, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. Even if the Song army had wings, it would be impossible to come up."

"Yang Zhenlong wants to burn the mountain. You can prevent the fire, but how can you prevent the smoke? For three or two days, everything will be bacon, why do you need the king's army to attack?"

Duo'er said: "It's just thick smoke, just cover your mouth and nose, why should you be afraid?"

When they first built the stronghold, the Yuan army also cut down the surrounding vegetation to prevent fire attacks.

"If you cover your mouth and nose, you can prevent it for one day, but how can you prevent it for ten days and a half?" Zhao Cunzhong said: "To be honest, in terms of patience, the Yuan Dynasty cannot compare with the Celestial Dynasty. If you don't believe me, look at the salted fish I brought."

The salted fish is right at your feet, Duo'er has to see it clearly.

Zhao Cunzhong continued: "Yang Zhenlong has 2 troops, and each soldier has one pound per day, so there is no shortage.

The dynasty was so prosperous, how could the Yuan Dynasty compare?Even if we are stationed for three or two months, we can support it. Can you support it? "

With a gloomy expression on her face, Duo'er picked up a salted fish and looked at it for a while, then asked her soldiers to cook it and eat it.

It's extremely fishy, ​​woody and hard, and actually doesn't taste good, but this is fish that ordinary people can't afford.

What does it mean that the Song army supplies supplies every day?
If you have money and food, you will not be afraid even if you live forever.

"Duo'erde, you are alone and not a direct descendant, so why should you risk your life for nothing? Why don't you surrender to the country? His Majesty will certainly treat you favorably.

As for everyone..." Zhao Cunzhong looked at the Yuan soldiers around him and said, "When the country is in trouble, you can go home and reunite with your parents, wife and children. "

"Thousands of households, the rebels are deceiving the public with their evil words, please kill them!" a Mongolian soldier shouted.

"Shut up!" Duo'er said: "Kill him, will we have a way to survive?"

After hearing this, Zhao Cunzhong was completely relieved.

Even if you fail to persuade them to surrender, you will definitely not be killed, and you can calmly persuade them to surrender.
