13. Qiwei Xuanhu City

When the bloody internal strife in Runan City was in full swing, the government army continued to strive forward, and without much effort, they captured Caigang, Xingqiao and other villages in Shangcai County, and met with Yu Di, the military commander of Tang Dengsui Jiedu. At the same time, the government troops in the south also surrounded them and stood in front of the camp twenty miles south of Runan City. The two lines of north and south can be freely connected - Wu Shaoyang and the remaining Cai thief army completely retreated to Xuanhu City in Runan City and could not defend it.

At Huiqu, Gao Yue's shogunate camp was located, and Wu Shaoyang's envoy was received: the mule army gun general Qi Shiliang.

Qi Shiliang was originally a guard at Xingqiaozhan, but now he has no such responsibility, so he was sent out to act as an envoy.

In the camp tent, Qi Shiliang bowed humbly and humbly under him. Gao Yue, as the Minister of the Secretariat, Pingzhang, was the main office of the Central Secretariat, Du Huangshang sat on the side, and other generals of the official army lined up one after another, and the power balance of the formation was very clear.

At this moment, Gao Yue and Du Huangshang knew that Huaixi had killed each other, "Yuan evil Wu Shaocheng, where is Li Yuanping's head?" Gao Yue asked.

"I'd like to ask Ji Gong to linger. As long as the war in Caizhou is quelled, his head will be presented to you for Ji Gong to pass through the capital and offer the Taimiao to the Taimiao."

"Is Runan City going to be subdued?"

"Of course, before leaving, the general Chu Shuai said that as long as the Huaining Army's honor is still there, as long as the court can pick up the snow to forgive the remaining soldiers, Huaixi is willing to ced Shenzhou and Guangzhou, leaving only Caizhou in one place, and a large amount of soldiers return to the farm, leaving only three thousand yamen. In addition, every year, the court does not need to supervise the court, and the court is willing to pay the full amount of the offer according to the two taxes. The court under the jurisdiction of each county will send county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, county magistrates, and county magistrates, and the commander Chu Shuai will never interfere. Finally, the court has a conquest, and the commander Chu is willing to lead the army and be dispatched by the dispatch."

"Shenzhou, Guangzhou is already in the court's view, so why should it be used as a bargaining chip for peace? Now that this path has killed Dong Chongqi, how could he pardon Wu Shaoyang alone? Dong Chongqi is Wu Shaocheng's son-in-law. Could it be that Wu Shaoyang is not his brother and can escape the law?" Gao Yue's words were very harsh.

Seeing that the hope of negotiation was bleak, Qi Shiliang cried and kowtowed, "Please give me the promise, please forgive Shen Guangcai's 400,000 soldiers!"

"This move is to save the people of Shen Guangcai from the water and fire. If you can tolerate this time, and let you wait for the rubber to be tied up and rekindle, then the blood flowing from Pinghuaixi will be considered in vain."

Qi Shiliang asked to shut down the others and only talked with Gao Yue and Du Huangshang.

Then in the tent, Qi bowed to Gao Yue again, took a step forward, knelt down, begging, "As long as Duke Ji condescends and agrees, he can forgive the generals and schools of the Huaining Army in Runan City, the last general will go back and ask them to tie up the entire Wu Shaoyang clan and present it to Duke Ji."

Gao Yue laughed loudly, then he looked sharp and pointed at Qi Shiliang and said:

"So, it is not difficult to eliminate Li Xilie, Wu Shaocheng, and Wu Shaoyang. It is difficult to eliminate you and the Cai thief party members! Since you have regarded Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang as the flag-and-banner doll, once the temple is burned, you fox and rats should also accompany the two brothers to be killed by fire."

Qi Shiliang raised his face at this time, and his words were intimidated, "Since Duke Ji relies on the world and attempts to eradicate my Caizhou, how can he know that the hearts of the people in this world are all in the control of Duke Ji? Now that Caizhou is dead, blood will splatter five steps, leaving you with no big or small disaster."

"What do you know? After the fall of Runan City, if you have a soul after death, you will see how the Wu brothers and you and other murderers have been infamous for thousands of years, and how this Taoist made Caizhou soar!"

Seeing Gao Yue's attitude was so firm, Qi Shiliang cursed in his heart, then raised his hand to say goodbye, and rode away.

"Don't be confused by Wu Shaoyang. When the next time the supply arrives, all the troops and horses will join forces to attack Xuanhu City in Runan." After Qi Shiliang left, Gao Yue said this to Du Huangshang in a firm tone.

In the Zicheng of Runan, Wu Shaoyang looked at the southeast, northwest and northeast, and there were camps full of officials and soldiers as dense as beehives and an ant caves. Then he walked down the city wall and came to the pavilion to cheer up the generals of the army who came to visit and said, "It is the middle of winter. The official army has been conquering Huaixi for a year. The food and money of the court have been exhausted. As long as he holds for another ten-day to twenty days, the official army will be exhausted and retreat."

But after a few days, Gao Yue's fleet in Huainan received strong support from Aunt Yu and Han Hui. He transferred a total of 300,000 shi of water and dry rice from Xuanrun and Zhuan. He also collected 100,000 shi of rice from Wang Haichao in Yangzi's backyard, a total of 400,000 shi of grain. He took 500,000 shi of food from 500,000 hu of ships. He set off from Yangzi, left Shanyangdu, Chuzhou, and then went up to the Huai River to Shouchun, entered the Ying River for 500 miles, and then moved to the Daqi River to Nandun, and sent to Yancheng.

Almost at the same time, Gao Yue's army envoy Wang Shao also sailed from Zhonghe, Hedong River to 70,000 stones of grain and wheat, and moved from Heyin to Zhongmu to Caishui, and then transported from Yingshui to Yancheng.

Gao Yue immediately ordered Wang Shao to impart the grain to the army fairly, and ordered the locals in Yancheng, Xiping, Wufang, Langshan and Shangcai counties to serve, transport grain to various camps, and requisition their cattle, mules, donkeys, etc. for free.

Because of the ruthless bloodbath of Saga Township, these locals were all scared and they would never dare to disobey the servants assigned by Gao Yue.

Soon, all the officials and troops from all walks of life were full and began to approach the front line, pushing the camp within ten miles outside Runan City.

"Tell Wu Shaoyang that this road has some skills. After the beginning of spring, this road can transport 500,000 stones of rice from Xingyuan, Xiangyang and Jiangling. The imperial army piled up rice bags and could directly climb up to attack the city of Runan."

Gao Yue's words were written as a document, tied to an arrow, and shot into the fort of the Huaixi Army in the north of the city with a large crossbow. Cai Bing saw it and was desperate and frightened.

In Zicheng, Wu Shaoyang was chaotic in his beard. He cheered up and said to the generals: "Don't be afraid, Runan City is full of tributary lakes of the Ru River. A strong fortress is almost set up, with troops guarding it, and contacting the water gates in the city with boats to replenish supplies. It is difficult for the official army to cross this natural barrier. In terms of food, Gao Yue and the others can eat enough, and we can eat enough. The food stored in Runan is enough for a year."

As a result, just one day after he finished speaking, Gao Yue issued a certificate asking Yi Shen and Wang E of Jingnan to come to see him.

"Wihui (Yishenbiao's name), Kunwu (Wang E's name), Runan City is surrounded by water lakes. In your opinion, is it cheapest to attack with a large ship?"

Yi Shen and Wang E both replied: "What Ji Gong said is very good, and it is difficult for infantry and cavalry to be able to perform in this terrain, but the navy can do its best."

"How many cassettes are you waiting for in Kushishi in Shouchun City?"

"Eight ships were driven from Jiangling Prefecture, Jingnan, and one ship was stranded and burned on the way. Yu Qianshi was destroyed by wind, and five more ships were well preserved."

"How did you come to Runan from Shouchun?"

"Duke Ji can directly enter the Ru River from Huai River, from south to north, and arrive at the city of Runan."

"It's great, I immediately carried soldiers and cannons and guns with a cascading ship to attack and sweep the forts on the lakes outside Runan City."
