"What's going on? Prime Minister Wu still has a back-up plan? Why don't you show it and have a look." Sun Yu couldn't help but laugh. He had the center of South Vietnam under his control.

It's like a person. No matter how brave you are, your head is controlled by others, and you still want to make a comeback?

"Humph, the Duke of Fujian is here just for opportunism. If we advance step by step to Hangzhou, we will naturally have nothing to say. There are many people around you who are loyal to your Majesty. As soon as King Qin's army arrives, I will cut you off.

I'm afraid there will be no good outcome if we wait, so it's better to go back as soon as possible." Wu Cheng has been Prime Minister for more than 20 years, so he naturally knows that the opponent will not be able to fight for a long time if he goes so far alone.

"What Xiang Wu said is wrong. It does not require a long battle to capture this palace. Moreover, our navy can control the Qiantang River, and there will be no shortage of logistical supplies. Oh, by the way, does Wu Xiang know?

, your fleet heading across the country to the East China Sea has been annihilated by me?" Sun Yu didn't want to take the palace by force. If he could force the other party to leave the palace and surrender, the rest of the matter would be much easier.

Otherwise, the territory of South Vietnam is not so easy to capture, especially if the opponent drills into the mountains and launches a guerrilla attack.

"Do you really mean what you said?" Wu Cheng was startled. He didn't expect that something had really happened to the fleet, and there was also a big member of the Wu family among them.

"It's absolutely true. Otherwise, how could I dare to come here in a boat?" Sun Yu wanted this effect and kept putting pressure on the other party.

In this battle, the defeat was not unjust. The other side had been calculating every step of the way, and everyone in South Vietnam was looking forward to the Song Dynasty putting pressure on the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Even so, as long as King Qin's army surrounds Hangzhou City, there will still be no way for you and others to survive." Wu Cheng suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart. Money is nothing more than possessions, and this life may not be able to be saved, so why worry about those things.

"Not to mention whether you can wait until King Qin's army comes to support you. I'm afraid Wu Xiang has forgotten that Sun still has three thousand elite cavalry in his hands. It must be possible to transport a batch of supplies." Sun Yu

It was said in an understatement, but it was no less than a thunder in Wu Cheng's ears.

Yes, the opponent's strongest combat power is the three thousand elite cavalry and King Qin's army. How many people can come?

"What do you think, general?" Wu Cheng was dumbfounded and asked Qian Feixiao next to him in a low voice.

"Without a hundred thousand troops, we can't trap them." Qian Feixiao never underestimated his opponents. The loyal and brave army who had experienced hundreds of battles without defeat was the strongest existence in the south.

The city's destruction in one day impressed him even more. As for the more powerful cavalry, he could not imagine it.

"General, what do you mean, we lost?" Although Wu Cheng didn't want to face it, he knew that what Qian Feixiao said was true.

"The general is not afraid of fighting to the death, but this situation cannot be saved without human power. There are two ways now, defend the palace, and the general will be sure to inflict heavy damage on the opponent. Or, while the city is still uncertain, protect the king and break through, and have a chance to escape.

, less than 20%." Although Qian Feixiao only has 3,000 people, they are all elites he personally led and have very strong combat power.

Even if the opponent breaks into the palace, they can still gain a certain advantage by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain.

As for breaking out of the siege and fighting from the palace to the outside of the city, he didn't know whether three thousand people would be enough.

"Can the general shoot this beast at such a distance?" Wu Cheng said bitterly. He hated Sun Yu deeply for forcing them across the country to this point.

"If it were someone else, I would still be 30% sure of the final victory, but this man under the city, who is good at shooting, is good at avoiding. Moreover, such an order must be given by the king himself." Qian Feixiao was different from Wu Cheng.

, although the positions are opposite and they are at war with each other, he appreciates Sun Yu as a person.

At such an age, to be able to fight to such a situation, he is far better off than Qian Feixiao.

"How is Prime Minister Wu thinking? Such a big matter should be decided by the King of Yue himself. How about inviting the King of Yue and negotiating with him face to face? The Qian family has lived in Hangzhou for a long time and has a good reputation among the people. He should always keep his dignity.

." Sun Yu can be said to be sincere. You don't have the ambition to dominate the world, so why bother holding on to it and not letting go.

"The king is not feeling well. I'm afraid he can't come in person. I'll report it right now." Wu Cheng had no idea. He really couldn't make the decision.

"Okay, out of respect for the King of Yue, I will not launch an attack before noon tomorrow. I hope that the King of Yue will seriously consider that for the benefit of the people, it does not necessarily have to live in a temple." Sun Yu thought for a while, but gave a

High hat, I hope they make the right choice.

"Don't worry, Duke Fujian, I will convey the truth truthfully." Wu Chenggong handed over his hand, turned around and went down to the city.

As for Qian Feixiao, he was still standing on the city wall, silently looking at Sun Yu below the city wall.

"I heard that the Duke's martial arts skills are unparalleled, and I would like to learn from him!" Qian Feixiao couldn't help but speak as he looked at Sun Yu who was about to turn around and leave.

He had long heard that Sun Yu was not only good at leading troops, but also very skilled in martial arts. Sun Yu was three years younger than him, so Qian Feixiao was eager to compete, although the current occasion was not suitable.

"You haven't asked for the general's name yet?" Sun Yu had excellent eyesight, so he could tell at a glance that this man was about the same age as himself. He could not be underestimated if he could become a general at such an age.

"The last general, Qian Feixiao, has met the Duke of Fujian." Qian Feixiao cupped his fists and saluted.

"I remember you, there will be a chance." Sun Yu returned the gift and then drove his horse back.

As for the current competition, it is impossible. If the King of Yue surrenders, he can be considered to subdue this person, which can be a reassurance for South Vietnam.

If you don't surrender and attack the city, you will naturally have to fight, but it may not necessarily be your own martial arts, it may also be cannonballs.

Wu Cheng walked back absent-mindedly. It was only eight or nine hours before noon tomorrow, and it was time to make a decision. If he wanted to retreat, he would have a better chance of retreating while the city was unstable.

"Master Prime Minister, I finally found you. The king is looking for you." Chu Lian, the chamberlain next to the King of Yue, looked anxious and angry. When he saw Wu Cheng, he immediately ran over.

"The king is awake?" Wu Cheng calmed down his emotions. No matter what, he would always have to face it. He, Wu Cheng, was used to seeing big storms in his life, but this was the first time he had soldiers trapped in the palace.

"I woke up, still weak. I just drank the medicine." Chu Lian had served the king for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen him so weak.

"Let's go. In this situation, the king can only make the decision himself." Wu Cheng stepped a little faster and walked quickly towards the palace.

"Prime Minister Wu, aren't you worried about your family members outside the palace?" Chu Lian was very surprised. Although Wu Cheng himself was in the palace, his family members were all outside the palace. The Zhongyong Army came so fast that there was no one in Hangzhou city.

After fleeing, all the high-ranking officials and their families were trapped in the city.

"Eunuch Chu, if other people attack the city, I will be worried. You and I are not stupid people, don't we know the way of the Zhongyong Army?" The Zhongyong Army defeated the South Vietnamese army several times in Fuzhou before. Naturally, the whole court was worried.

The purpose is to discredit the Zhongyong Army so that everyone can work together to resist the opponent.

He was the Prime Minister of the Yue Kingdom, and he was able to see the true nature of the country as he was high up in the temple. The attitude of the loyal and brave army towards the occupied territories was unprecedented in his life. As long as the people in his family did not commit crimes, their lives would always be fine.

"The loyal and brave army is indeed a different kind. It would be great if this life could be lived in my country of Yue." Chu Lian sighed deeply in his heart. The Southern Tang Dynasty, which was originally a pool of stagnant water, was about to turn over.

"I don't know if the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty can tolerate this person? Reaching this point is often the beginning of irreconcilability between the monarch and his ministers." Wu Cheng had his hands behind his back. There were many monarchs and ministers who could share adversity but not wealth.

As a member of the Yue Kingdom, everyone knows the allusion of living on fuel and tasting courage. After Fan Li, the king of Yue, was avenged for his great revenge, he retired to seclusion to have a good death. Thinking about the literary style that shared his wealth and honor, he was ordered to commit suicide.

"The Song Dynasty is still here, so it shouldn't be like this." Chu Lian glanced at Wu Cheng. After all, he was the prime minister, and he looked at things very clearly.

"His achievements, authority, and territory are all too great. Unless he is willing to give them up, there will always be contradictions. For such great achievements, if he does not reward them, it will be difficult to convince the public, and the generals in the army will not follow them. If he is rewarded again, how can it be done?

Isn't it one country and two masters?" Sun Yu currently occupies the territory of four states. If he completely engulfs South Vietnam, he will naturally occupy a piece of it.

Although the number of the loyal and brave army was small, their combat power was outstanding. At that time, the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty must have had trouble sleeping and eating. The general who had once relied on his trust had turned into a tiger beside his bed. It is funny to think about it.

"Eunuch Chu must be thinking about appointing a high-ranking official, becoming a general or prime minister, right? I guess the head of the country must be thinking the same way, but do you think the Duke of Fujian is willing to let him go?" Wu Cheng looked at Chu Lian.

You can know his thoughts by looking at his face.

This is also a common practice. If a general has made great achievements and cannot be rewarded, he will be recalled to the court and given the title of prime minister. It sounds nice to say that when a general becomes a prime minister, he is a minister, but in fact he is just a tiger.

Put on shackles, from a tiger in the mountains to a plaything under your feet.

The Duke of Fujian was not an ordinary person. He had his own ambitions, so how could he give up so easily? Under his rule, a separate set of governance policies was formed, and Wu Cheng knew that Sun Yu was not a person who had been subordinate to others for a long time.

"Presumably, he is unwilling." Chu Lian thought for a long time, and finally shook his head. If he was in a different place, he would also be unwilling. He has his own territory, troops, and people who support him, how could he easily

give up.

"More importantly, his political philosophy is destined to be unacceptable to the court. On the territory he conquered by himself, those in the Southern Tang Dynasty turned a blind eye, mainly because they had nothing to do with him. If he returned

Without the court, without the army by his side, hehe..." Wu Cheng shook his head, Yan Xu from the Southern Tang Dynasty was not as easy to get along with as he was.

The two of them talked as they walked. Before they could finish chatting, they arrived at the palace where the King of Yue was resting.

"Old minister, I have met the king!" Wu Cheng entered and bowed to the couch.

"Wu Aiqing, please sit down quickly and tell me what the situation is like outside the palace." Qian Hongchu just drank the medicine and felt a little more comfortable. There must be no good news about the situation outside the city, but he still couldn't help it.

I have a few questions to ask.

"The palace has been besieged. General Qian is organizing manpower to launch a breakout at any time and send the king out of the city." Wu Cheng tried his best to describe the situation in a better way so as not to irritate the king.

"Break through the siege? Where can we go?" Qian Hongchu was a little unmotivated. Outside the palace, there were all loyal and brave soldiers.
