She excused herself. At that time, women were deeply influenced by Confucian morals, and the virtue of women was not to be jealous. In a large family with many wives and concubines, the concubinage who treated their husbands nicely and the children born from a concubine were all virtues that a woman should have. The reason why Sis GaoSi dared to persuade Zhang Xian was for the sake of the couple, she never thought that Hua Rong would have such an expression, and only thought that it would be good for the Madame Yue, only the Jealousy s could not pass.
After Yue Pengju discussed about military affairs, he went on a long journey to investigate. After returning, it was already night.
There was a lamp burning in the room, and there were a few small dishes placed on the table. Hua Rong was personally helping him to clean the silver grey armor that had been in battle for a long time.
He quickly said: "Sister Shi Qi, your health is not good. Rest well and stop brushing."
Hua Rong smiled sweetly and put the armor away. "When you wear it again, it will be useful."
Yue Pengju sat down and carried a bowl of food to eat. Only then did he sigh, "Today did I find out that the power of the water army in the Heavenly Passage Garden was even greater than what I imagined."
Hua Rong nodded her head: "I went out to scout around today. Yang Me and the others were more than ten times stronger than the King Qin. "However, I received a piece of news today …"
"What news?"
"When I was strolling around today, I heard the people of Tan Zhou City bragging that Zhong Ziyi had kidnapped the most beautiful prostitute in Liuyang County and made his into his concubine. And this woman was once a pampered concubine of Yang Me. "
"There's actually such a thing?"
"The two of them are in an alliance. If we can first dissolve their alliance oath, wouldn't it be much better to break it one by one?"
Yue Pengju nodded his head: "Alright, if we can resolve the two-man alliance first, that would be the best policy."
The couple talked about what they had gathered. Hua Rong sighed: "Along the way, I heard of the words' wait and see 'in the clock phase. I was very excited, and at one point, I thought that he was someone important. However, when Dongting saw it with his own eyes, he heard that his family's businesses were spread throughout the counties and provinces. If they were truly poor and rich, why were the villagers still selling their women? It was evident that he had truly become the emperor, but he was also a new loner. In this world, there was a cycle. Actually, those who stood at the very top always enjoyed the glory of being in the upper echelons. As for the people below, they could only follow and serve. Regardless of whether it was the emperor or the Water Cock, they were all the same. The reason why we destroyed the Water Cock today was merely to make Zhao Deji more extravagant and greedy. Everyday, we fight and kill each other, but actually, it would be better to follow Big Brother Lu around here and eat simple food with green lanterns and ancient buddhas … "
When Yue Pengju heard his wife's flat tone, he felt depressed, almost as if he had never seen her in such a state. He felt that it was a little strange, he grabbed her hand and asked her: "Sister Shi Qi, why have you been so preoccupied this entire time, what exactly happened?"
Hua Rong shook her head: "It's nothing, I just had some feelings for you."
Yue Pengju stared at his wife: "If there's anything, you must tell me. Don't keep it in the bottom of your heart."
Hua Rong slightly smiled, and said: "What have I deceived you about? It's just that I feel tired and I hate war. "
Yue Pengju heaved a sigh of relief. On this point, he felt the same, seeing that his wife's words were reasonable and not out of the ordinary, he felt that continuing to march was tiring as well.
On the second day, Yue Pengju once again gathered everyone to discuss, and this time he gave a clear idea. Firstly, he wanted to seal off the food supply for Yang Me's water army, and secondly, to seal off the trades in the area. With both of them in control, the water army of Yang Me in the courtyard heard the news and became extremely alarmed.
Yue Pengju looked at the map from head to toe, and then observed it on the spot again. He discovered that between the north and south side, there was a pocket-sized lake called Cyan Grass Lake, which wasn't marked on the map. Xu Yi said that it was the name of the place, so it was not marked.
Everyone discussed, the Cyan Grass Lake was like a sack, if they cut Yang Me's north and south tunnels, when the food and fodder were cut off, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar, they would immediately send people to protect the Cyan Grass Lake.
When Yang Me and Zhong Ziyi realized that their Cyan Grass Lake had been occupied, they became even more panic-stricken and sent many sneak attacks, but all of them ended in failure.
At the same time, Yue Pengju saw Li Yu, the leader of the water stronghold who had been fighting with Yang Me for many years, and told him to go and persuade him to surrender. There were more than a dozen water stronghold s near Tan Zhou. When Li Yu saw the ten Zhai An flags and rankings he had made, he kneeled down, "This lowly one would rather be executed by military law than to provoke Water Cock. All the persuaders sent by the imperial government in the past, all of them were killed by Yang Me. "
Yue Pengju frowned: "You don't have to be afraid, regardless of whether they agree to surrender, as long as you come back safely, it will be considered as a great merit."
Li Yu was helpless, he could only muster up the courage and go to the nearest water stronghold to persuade him to surrender.
The leader of the water stronghold was called Huang Zuo, he had over 1500 people under him. When they saw that Li Yu had arrived, they personally came out and took a look at the banner. Li Yu took the chance and said: "The Royal En are vast and they have sent Yue Xiang Gong to explore the cave courtyard. You need to know that the Yue Xiang Gong is different from the previous Imperial Water Army. Yang Me is definitely not his opponent, why not abandon the darkness and become his wife as soon as possible? "
Huang Zuo had long since heard of the arrival of the famous Yue Army of the world, and his attitude towards Li Yu was extremely polite. He only said: "Let's think about it at home."
Li Yu did not dare go to the other nine water stronghold s to persuade them to surrender, so he gave the remaining flags to Huang Zuo: "You can distribute the rest of the nine clans." Then he took his leave.
After Li Yu left, Huang Zuo immediately summoned his men to discuss, and said that their water stronghold would be the one to bear the brunt of the attack. Now that their food supply had been cut off, they might as well surrender. However, his subordinates were afraid that Yue Pengju would lure them down and kill them, hence they were hesitant to do so. Huang Zuo thought for a while and said: "I heard that the Yue Xiang Gong couple are renowned throughout the world, they are people who do not break their word. "Let's watch again."
Immediately, Huang Zuo distributed the rest of the nine flags, and the various water stronghold s had a change in heart.
As for Li Yu, who was still alive to explain the situation, Yue Pengju was overjoyed and immediately gave the order to promote him to a second official. It turned out that Zhang Xian and the others had managed the trading market and captured more than 400 of the Yang Me's water army who were hiding there.
Hua Rong and Yue Pengju came to check the situation, only to see that the 400 people were being escorted onto the training grounds.
The guard shouted, "Yue Xiang Gong is here."
Everyone kneeled down, except for a few rebellious men who had ferocious expressions on their faces.
Yue Pengju said angrily: "You wait for the burning, killing, plundering, and you refuse to comply, for your crimes, you deserve to die, what else do you have to say for yourself?"
The man said coldly: "Our own family has the Master Zhong s under protection in heaven. If we were to be killed by the officer army dogs, our souls would also be in heaven with him.
At that time, the people all believed in the clock phase and called him "Old Master". It could be seen how profound the influence of the clock phase was. When everyone heard his words, it wasn't easy to refute.
Hua Rong walked over and asked the man in reply, "clock phase once said that if he were to practice the law, then people would wait for him to become noble and lowly, making him rich and poor. You guys don't have enough food in water stronghold, so you had no choice but to take the risk to trade. But, Yang Me, Zhong Ziyi and the rest, why not share the wealth with you? "
The man had nothing to say, but the other man who was kneeling said loudly: "What I see is that the two Heavenly Kings are like fish to meat, each of them have three wives, have silk and satin, and sing happily everyday.
Hua Rong smiled and said: "Yang Me said that the clock phase is alive, but ever since the Yue Xiang Gong sealed up the food path, what method does Yang Me have? He had also sent people to launch a sneak attack, so how could he have won a match? Now that the Yue Xiang Gong has sealed the Cyan Grass Lake, we will catch Yang Me and the others in a jar. "
Everyone secretly glanced at her, but when they saw that she was speaking, they didn't laugh but had a bit of a smile on her face. Her voice was warm and gentle, and the fear in her heart had been reduced by a bit.
Yue Pengju was very satisfied with his wife's words, and took the chance to say: "All of you were originally good citizens, but were deceived by the demonic technique, and were driven to such a stage. If I kill you, what will happen to my family? If the heavens have a good conscience, I might as well let you go and go back to persuade the believers to submit to you. " He immediately ordered everyone to be released and distributed the usual copper coins to everyone.
In the past, when they had confronted the officer army, every time they were captured, there would always be a dead end. They did not expect that this time, not only would they live, but there would also be money. Yue Pengju also ordered them to go to the market to buy basic necessities, and to teach the merchants to underestimate their value. These few hundred people bought cheap goods and returned to the water stronghold. Naturally, they spread the news about how peaceful and happy life was on the mainland, and that disturbed the people in the water stronghold even more.
It had been more than a month since then, and Yue Pengju had only been guarding the place. He was not in a hurry to send out his troops, but wanted to attack. On this day, he received a fake letter from Liu Yu. The relationship between Yang Me and Liu Yu had a long history. In order to get the Southern Water Army to surround Zhao Deji, Liu Yu had been sent with generous gifts many times.
Following that, Yang Me summoned all of the more than eighty leaders of the water stronghold to discuss the matter. Yang Me called them "Great Sage King" and clock phase's son Zhong Ziyi called them "Crown Prince Zhong". The two of them were the leaders of the water army in the courtyard.
This time, it was because the army was suppressing the land, which was related to the future of the troll army. Yang Me was older, so he took the initiative and said, "Crown Prince Zhong has obtained the position of wife, he is very satisfied, there is nothing dirty in his home, now that officer army Yue Pengju has surrounded and annihilated them, we must definitely help each other out."
Zhong Ziyi replied naturally, "Of course."
Yang Me then said: "I have already inquired about the details of Yue Pengju, although he is a powerful general on the mainland, but all of the troops he is leading are northern people, they are not used to water battles, so I believe that he is not a threat. As long as everyone stick to the water stronghold, he will be helpless to do anything."
Huang Zuo had already distributed 9 points of advice to the other people, and the few strongholds all said: "Yue Pengju is not like the other generals of the imperial government. If the food supply is cut off, we will have no food this autumn, so how can we hold on?"
Yang Me laughed loudly: What's there to be afraid of? The spirit of the Master Zhong in heaven will naturally protect us as the victors. Furthermore, there's Emperor Liu of the Da Qi Kingdom backing us up.
Master Zhong was their method of mental victory, but at the moment, it was not enough to convince the masses, but they could do nothing about it, they could only disperse the meeting and head back to water stronghold to prepare.
After this meeting, Huang Zuo saw that Yang Me and the others were not prepared at all, and decided to surrender.
When Yue Pengju heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered for Wang Gui to surrender.
On this day, Huang Zuo brought over 1500 people to surrender. Wang Gui was also fully equipped and led everyone to their deaths. Both sides were wary. On this day, the sun was high in the sky, and both sides stood in formation to meet each other. According to the rules of being attacked as if they were enemies, they were all fully armed, their armor scorched by the sun. But Huang Zuo's army was obviously not as neat as the officer army's, only Huang Zuo rode on his horse, and the rest were just infantry. Wang Gui ordered for the commander to hold the line, and while carrying his personal weapon, Iron Cliff Bamboo, he rushed out and shouted out loud: "I am one of Yue Xiang Gong's subordinates here to pick up Wang Gui. The Yue Xiang Gong was righteous and benevolent, so anyone who was willing to pay their respects would not be harmed, and they would all be treated with kindness. lower official was ordered to break an oath. "
