Chapter 673 Soldiers approaching the city

Zheng Huaixing had just finished saying this, and a little golden light fell in the way of heaven, falling into Zheng Huaixing's divine thoughts.

Zheng Huaixing's soul, which was originally a little vague, suddenly solidified this time, and in the blink of an eye, countless powers of faith gathered on him.

Immediately afterwards, his body turned into a red sun and appeared in front of Yang Heng.

It turned out that the vow he just said was touched by the way of heaven, so he gave up the reward.

Therefore, he was able to quickly achieve the gods.

However, this is not only a reward from the way of heaven, but also a bondage to him. If he breaks his promise from now on, the divine lights will immediately break his body and make his years of hard work turn into nothing.

At this time, Zheng Huaixing achieved the divine body and also possessed the magical power of divine and enlightenment.

In just a moment, he realized that he was now forcibly tied to the Yang Hengde Dynasty by Tiandao.

At this time, he also smiled bitterly. While alive, he was loyal to Yang Heng's enemies, so he died. He did not expect that he would be tied to Yang Heng's dynasty after his death.

Yang Heng, who was standing in front of the altar, obviously received a message from the Heavenly Dao, so he also understood that Zheng Huaixing in front of him is now a friend but not an enemy.

So Yang Heng laughed a few times.

Then he sent a spell: "I would like to ask the Six Dings and Six Jias to cut off the road and walk, the three souls return to themselves, the seven souls follow, the gods return to the palace, send the holy to the heavenly court, remove the five elements, and turn them into their own. Now that I send the gods, I will come quickly. I will follow the Master Hunyuan, and hurry up and follow the rules of the law, and the evil demons retreat to hide their bodies."

This is the curse of retreating.

Just a spell, the soul of Zheng Huaixing, who had already condensed, involuntarily dispersed and fell back to the homes of every household.

Next, Yang Heng retreated to the altar, and then returned to the lobby and ordered his personal eunuch.

"Transfer my will and appointed Zheng Huaixing as the city god in Dongshan County, and built the city god temple in Dongshan County."

The eunuch beside him was a little confused about Yang Heng's will. A few days ago, Yang Heng hated Zheng Huaixin to the core. What's wrong now? He actually wanted to build a temple for him who died.

However, as eunuchs and masters, they must do their best to execute even if they doubt it.

Soon, the people of Dongshan County already knew Yang Heng's order.

And those people who had prejudices and even hated Yang Heng finally calmed down some of their anger.

Dongshan County, which is tense, has finally begun to calm down.

Zheng Huaixing also reciprocates his favor for Yang Heng.

On that night, many people in Dongshan County dreamed of Zheng Huaixing.

In his dream, Zheng Huaixing told the people that due to Yang Heng's reward, he had become the city god of Dongshan County, protecting the people of Dongshan County to have peace and maintaining the health of the Song Dynasty.

The next morning, many people who had dreamed told the news to others.

At the beginning, others didn’t believe it. After all, Yang Heng and Zheng Huaixing were mortal enemies. How could they turn war into jade now?

However, as more and more people dreaming came out to prove this, the incident of Zheng Huaixing's dream was considered true by people in the entire Dongshan County.

Therefore, Dongshan County, which was originally a little nervous, began to calm down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the time Yang Heng led hundreds of thousands of troops to re-emerge, Dongshan County was no different from the original surrendered counties and completely surrendered to Yang Heng's rule.

…………

Besides, at this time, the city of Nanjing was already in chaos.

With the defeat of the front-line army, the powerful people in Nanjing also learned about the news that Yang Heng was about to come.

These people originally had a glimmer of hope and believed that Li Qi could withstand Yang Cheng's powerful people, but now they have no idea at all.

In order to save their lives, these people began to transfer their property in Nanjing City and at the same time transferred their confidants from Nanjing City to the countryside.

As for these powerful people, because King Li Xian of Wu was so strict, they could not leave the city.

The reason why King Li Xian of Wu didn't want to have a frustration with them, so he opened the door.

But even so, housing prices in Nanjing City fell three times a day, while the prices of grain began to soar.

Although King Li Xian of Wu issued several decrees to those grain merchants to calm prices, his decrees are now not as good as wiping paper.

Therefore, the people in Nanjing were full of complaints.

However, in this case, King Li Xian of Wu really had no choice. If he was in peace, he would naturally be able to force the powerful and powerful to lower the price and mobilize food and grass from other places to Nanjing City.

But now the officials in those places have also learned their skills. On the surface, they agreed to the orders of King Li Xian of Wu, but no drop of food was transported to Nanjing City.

Because these officials have already seen clearly, the entire Wu Kingdom may not be able to be protected. Under such circumstances, they naturally have to consider their future wealth.

Therefore, their idea was that if King Li Xian of Wu could resist Yang Heng in Nanjing City and Yang Heng was forced to retreat to the north, then they would all be ministers of Wu.

If Nanjing City is captured, they will send Yang Heng a surrender sign as soon as possible.

King Li Xian of Wu obviously knew this, so he tried his best to make his fortune.

King Li Xian of Wu appointed his confidant counselor Zhou Yan as the defensive ambassador of Nanjing City.

At the same time, I opened my own treasury and used the food and silver inside as Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan was not as indecisive as King Li Xian of Wu. On the first day he served as the defensive ambassador, he concentrated all his troops together and began to talk to these powerful people one by one.

The purpose of doing this is to let the powerful and powerful hand over all their servants and pay a portion of their food and salary.

These powerful people are actually unwilling to do so. After all, these servants are the life guarantee of their lives, but in the face of Zhou Yan's tough attitude, they can only act as if they are done.

Therefore, many servants at home were quickly equipped with random equipment, then threw a knife and sent them to the military camp.

This is also Zhou Yan's literary aura. He really didn't know much about military affairs. Seeing these powerful people sending so many people, he thought they had compromised, so he began to arrange the defense of Nanjing City with peace of mind.

However, this literati who did not understand military affairs finally arranged nearly 100,000 people on the walls of Nanjing City and then evenly distributed them.

You should know that Nanjing City has a circumference of seventy miles.

With such a long length, even if all 100,000 people have been put on the city wall, the thickness of the defense is not much.

However, Zhou Yan did not realize this. Instead, he was complacent and believed that as long as he had the high walls of Nanjing, Yang Heng could not even have great skills.

But he didn't expect that the interior of Nanjing City is completely a powder barrel.

Some time ago, he forced all the powerful people to hand over the military power, and then asked them to donate food. This time, they handed over the servants, and made them priceless, completely fighting against these powerful people and local gentry.

If King Li Xian of Wu was strong, these people naturally dared not say anything, but now this dynasty has reached a time of storm, these powerful people naturally have their own ideas.

Therefore, before Yang Heng's army arrived in Nanjing, the surrendered letters flew to Yang Heng's desk like snowflakes.

Yang Heng was very happy with this situation. You must know that it would be harder to break through Nanjing City with a large army than climbing to the sky.

Even if he forcibly conquered Nanjing, there would probably be few left in the end if his hundreds of thousands of troops were left.

Having these people as inner support is naturally a great thing for you.

Therefore, Yang Heng responded to the letters of these people, the key ones and the leading people.

Tell them that as long as they can make great contributions in breaking Nanjing this time, they will be able to protect their glory and wealth.

Just such an ordinary letter is equivalent to a hundred thousand soldiers.

After receiving Yang Heng's letter, these powerful people were overjoyed. Then they began to contact each other, preparing to open the city gate when necessary and make a great contribution in front of Yang Heng.

In fact, it was not only these powerful people who were thinking about how to save their lives, but even King Li Xian of Wu began to think about it.

Although Li Xian did not want to surrender, he also wanted to escape from Nanjing when necessary and then make a comeback in other territories.

Therefore, on the one hand, he fully supported Zhou Yan to defend Nanjing City, and on the other hand, he arranged his confidant to arrange his escape route for him.

As the army of pioneer Liu Yue came to the city of Nanjing, the atmosphere in the entire city became even more tense.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Yan directly gave up all the cities outside Nanjing to Liu Yue. He only wanted to defend within Nanjing and then fight to the death with Yang Heng.

If it is united, then his method is indeed good, because Nanjing City is high and thick, and with abundant food and grass, if the people fight to the death, Yang Heng will be helpless and retreat to the north if he can't make a fuss.

But the reality is that as soon as Liu Yue arrived at the foot of Nanjing City, he received the letter from it.

This letter is a document jointly signed by many powerful people in it, which is to tell Liu Yue that as long as it attacks the city on one day, as long as it is Liu Yue raising a red flag, they immediately contacted the people and opened the city gate to welcome the heavenly army into the city.

However, Liu Yue did not dare to argue about such a thing, so he could only trap people under the city of Nanjing and wait for Yang Heng to drive to the feet of Nanjing in a mighty manner.

However, even if Yang Heng came hundreds of thousands of people, they could not siege the entire Nanjing city. They could only pick up some people and horses arranged in the important roads to defend and concentrate most of the people at the northern gate of Nanjing city.
