"Or, let's surround but not fight?" Guan Qingquan asked. He had heard that this time, he would surround but not fight against Putian County. After a long time, the opponent was distracted and took it down without a single soldier. This was obviously much more cost-effective than a strong attack.

“No…”

Sun Yu shook his head and slowly told the reason. Putian County can do this because Zhang Shuo obviously can't suppress his subordinates and will change sooner or later. But Chen Hongjin is different. He has been surrounded for a year and a half, and it is estimated that the city will remain the same. The generals under his command are all promoted, including the adopted son, and even his own son.

It is extremely risky to besiege Tong'an County. If it is next year's rainy season, you must withdraw troops. Just relying on the tents in the military camp, it cannot stop the heavy rain like a waterfall. If the opponent takes the opportunity to attack, it is a foregone conclusion.

Tong'an County not only needs to fight, but also needs to fight beautifully, otherwise how can you impress Zhangquan and the other prefectures?

Half a month later, it was already mid-twelfth lunar month. Just when Chen He thought that the war would not start before the New Year, he received news from the scout that the Jianzhou army was coming west.

Chen He stood at the top of the city with his sword in his arms, his fists clenched, his veins stormed, and his eyes were firmly staring at the front. The entire city wall was busy, and all kinds of defensive materials were being brought up quickly, and a small trencher was also being installed, which was prepared to prevent Sun Yu's siege car.

Before reaching Dongxi, the Jianzhou Army built a simple wooden bridge directly on the stream, and the army crossed the stream in an orderly manner. I don’t know how the simple wooden bridge of the Jianzhou Army was built, even carriages could pass without any obstacles.

The walls of Tong'an County, east and south, were built against the stream, which was not conducive to siege. Sun Yu led his army across the East River and detoured the north. The army was stationed at the north gate of Tong'an County, preparing to hit each other hard here.

"Evil dog, let's go and have a look." The army began to camp, and Sun Yu decided to say hello to the guards on the city wall, maybe they were an acquaintance.

"You guys, get the shield and follow me." The evil dog held the big shield and carried the latest mace of the Craftsman Camp in his right hand, which was three points more skilled than before. Although it has not been tested by war, its power is not doubted at all.

The evil dog held a shield and walked in front, with huge shields on three sides. Sun Yu rode the fire and walked towards the city gate. This configuration will definitely be fine unless the heavy trencher hits it directly.

"My nephew, long time no see." With Sun Yu's eyesight, he could see clearly. He was indeed an acquaintance. How could this kid fulfill his wish when he saw that he wanted to retreat and hide from him?

"Mr. Sun, it's been more than a year since Quanzhou parted. How can you be safe now?" Chen He had no choice. In front of the two armies, they lost the enemy but did not lose the formation. They took two steps forward and said to Sun Yu below.

"I said that my nephew is better to surrender to me. Can my uncle treat you badly? Although your character is worrying, your subordinates still have some hard skills. Why bother to touch the eggs on the stone?" Sun Yu saw Chen He and wanted to present the elder's advice. Even if he didn't start a war, he would take advantage first.

"Of course, Lord Sun might as well go back. In the future, my father and son respect the Lord and are willing to be here for the Lord and guard the southern gate, and never break their promises." Chen He has also experienced a lot recently and has grown a little. Since you want to surrender, nominal surrender is also OK. If you want to seize military power, it is a dream.

"My nephew has made great progress, and he has a lot of inheritance from your father. He is good at playing tricks. Even if I do, I

If you don’t come to attack, what can you do in this prefecture and three counties?" Sun Yu said not only for Chen He, but also for other soldiers on the city. It would be no benefit to follow Chen’s father and son and fight with him to the death.

"That's hard to say. Before, the adults were only in one state and four counties, and they had just experienced wars and the people were living in poverty. Now they are not the same as before." Chen He was still quite moved. Sun Yu had reached this point in just two years. If he took Zhangzhou, it would be more than a dozen counties in the three states and the number of counties, which would be considered a big force.

"I am a bad word for this. Uncle, I am a backer of the Tang Dynasty and highly valued by the king of the country. The difference is not a little bit. It is not like you. Even if you are trapped in the lonely city, you will become weaker and weaker. It will only take a long time to lose. If the noble and sons are willing to go to the Han Kingdom in the south, I will send you respectfully." Sun Yu shook his head. Chen He has not seen clearly yet. If the Southern Tang did not support him, how could he do this? Although the court did not give much money and food, the invisible benefits were huge.

"It's useless to say more, but it's better to see the truth from behind." Chen He knew that he was right, but he took so many people to make a gamble. There are countless wars in the world, and no one knows what the final result is. The result of this war is not entirely dependent on the strength of the army. I remember that Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops fled in Chibi back then.

"Where is your father, call out to meet him. I miss you very much when I parted with Tingxiaguan." Since I can't chat with this kid, then I'll just come here.

"My father is ill, so it's not a big deal to worry about him." Chen He was not fooled. This guy must have sold Chen Qisi to his father in order to sell Chen Qisi. Now he has the final say on the city wall, so he will definitely not be able to spread the news to his father's ears.

"Nephew, your brother Chen Qisi was rescued by me from Zhang Hansi's army. I don't want it much, and I still have the old price. How about it?" Sun Yu felt a little embarrassed. Since he couldn't see Chen Hongjin, he would tell Chen He.

"It's extremely absurd. It's not a time for the two armies to talk about personal feelings in front of the army. Lord Sun saved my brother's office. I am grateful, but the two armies are fighting, and they are not merciless." Chen He looked solemn and stood up the moral commanding heights first. There were also generals who were adopted sons next to him, which could not make people feel sad.

"It's ridiculous. If you can't bear to bear the money, just say it and withdraw it!" Seeing that there was no benefit, Sun Yu first returned to the Central Army's tent and saw how to attack the city tomorrow.

"Dear brothers, I don't want to pay for it. Now it's a critical moment, so I can't disrupt the morale of the army. My father, please keep it a secret." Chen He bowed to the general beside him. If this matter reached Chen Hongjin's ears, I don't know what would happen.

All the generals agreed, and no one knew what they thought in their hearts.

Far away in Jiangning, the inner garden of the palace, Li Yu stayed in the warm pavilion and didn't want to go anywhere. The city was covered with heavy snow outside for several days. Every day, he would watch singing and dancing, write poetry, and he was extremely happy. As for those troubles, he had long been left out of the sky.

"Your Majesty, the people who went south to Jianzhou have returned and brought back the memorial from Lord Sun, the governor of Jianzhou." An Jinhai, holding the memorial that was nominally written by Sun Yu, actually basically from Xu Yizhi, walked to Li Yu and said.

"Take it over and take a look." Li Yu waved his hand, and An Jinhai carefully handed over the memorial. Recently, Li Yu was quite dissatisfied with Sun Yu. The envoy of the Northern Song Dynasty had been staying in Jiangning and not leaving, waiting to give an explanation.

"That's true. It was the first move by the South Vietnamese Kingdom, and it was a good fight.

With the force far inferior to the opponent, he not only swallowed the opponent's vanguard, but also occupied a city and attacked the power of our Tang Dynasty." Li Yu was quite excited to see it and kept slapping the table. Is this called invasion? This is called self-defense counterattack. What else can the Song Dynasty say?

"Lao An, please ask King Han to enter the palace and give me instructions. I will have a banquet with King Han." Li Yu kept flipping around with the memorial, just a few hundred words, as if he could not finish reading it. Since the Liezu, the Tang Dynasty has never been so majestic again.

Half an hour later, King Han Li Congshan followed An Jinhai. Li Yu in the hall had already ordered to play music and dance, and had already started drinking first.

"I have seen Your Majesty." King Han entered the hall and hurriedly leaned over to salute. He had heard An Jinhai say on the road, and his Majesty had written a memorial in Jianzhou. His Majesty was very happy.

"My brother comes here, come here to sit here. I am happy today. I will have a few drinks with me." Li Yu's face was already a little flushed. Now, the wealthy families in Jiangning drink in Feitian produced in Jianzhou. The king of the country Li Yu is naturally the same. Moreover, what he drinks are specially provided. Every month, Jianzhou Trading Company sends people to the palace directly.

"Why are the emperor so happy today?" Although King Han knew the reason, he could only treat it as if he was unaware of it, otherwise he would have cheated An Jinhai.

"This is a memorial on Jianzhou. Take a look. Sun Aiqing is very good at fighting, so you can enjoy it!" Li Yu carefully handed the memorial over, as if it was some amazing treasure.

"Congratulations to the emperor, for getting this good general and opening up territory for our Tang Dynasty, the national strength will surely flourish." Li Congshan was also very happy after reading it. He was originally worried about the pressure given by the Northern Song Dynasty, but now it is obvious that the South Vietnamese country is unreasonable and suffers a loss.

"It's all my brothers who are keen on their abilities." Li Yu took another sip. The taste was excellent. As the leader of a country, no one wants the contribution of expanding territory, even if it's just a county, it's an amazing achievement. Since the six prefectures in Jiangbei were lost, the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty seemed to have been broken. Although it is a small victory now, if it is well promoted, it can have a great effect.

"What's the matter with the emperor? I only recommend one or two of them. In the end, the emperor appointed him personally. I dare not take credit for this matter." Li Congshan raised his wine glass and drank it all in one go. In front of the emperor, he could not take credit for his contributions no matter what. This is his duty as a minister.

"My brother, don't be humble. Let's go to Honglu Temple tomorrow?" The envoy of the Northern Song Dynasty was still waiting for a reply at Honglu Temple. As the sect leader, it was not appropriate to send someone there casually.

"Don't worry, brother, I will take a trip tomorrow." They all knew the envoys from the Northern Song Dynasty. After Zhao Kuangyin usurped the throne, he was the one who came to the Southern Tang Dynasty to read the edict. This man was named Dou Yi. The Hanlin Bachelor was just a first-class identity of Dou Yi. He was also a scholar in Duanming Palace and also served as the judge of Dali Temple. He was considered a high-ranking official in addition to the prime minister. Moreover, because of his knowledge and knowledge, he was particularly respected by Zhao Kuangyin. In Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, he had to rely on these scholars to govern the world.
