Chapter 747: Taking Yangzhou City
"Hahaha, Mr. Yan, I always thought you were a smart man, how could you believe such nonsense?"
After hearing what Yan Youling said, Jiang Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Lord Jiang, is this matter... so funny?" Yan Youling looked at Jiang Chen laughing, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red.
Now, Yan Youling became even more beautiful.
Jiang Chen looked at Yan Youling and couldn't help but be stunned.
He stopped laughing and said to Yan Youling seriously, "Mr. Yan, I don't deserve the title of Son of the Dragon God."
"If I say that the last time was a complete coincidence, would you believe it?"
"coincide?"
Yan Youling frowned.
She didn't believe in such a coincidence, but she was even less convinced that someone could control the wind and rain.
Combining the two explanations, she still felt that the coincidence explanation was more reliable.
"Lord Jiang, sorry to bother you."
Yan Youling clasped her fists towards Jiang Chen, then stood up and left.
Jiang Chen looked at Yan Youling's leaving back and shook his head helplessly.
Even someone like Yan Youling believes that he is the son of the Dragon God!
This... do people of this era believe in such things?
So can he win back Yan Youling through this kind of thing?
But...it's better to use weather cards less often.
It was previously rumored that he was the true dragon emperor, and the Emperor Dajing almost took action against him!
If this kind of rumor comes out again, he will probably rebel in advance...
At the same time, in Yanzhou County.
The Eighth Wise King was also setting up camp.
But suddenly, General Tian ran to the Eighth Wise King anxiously!
"My Lord, this is bad! Something has happened!"
"Huh!? What happened!?"
When the Eighth Wise King heard what General Tian said, his face suddenly changed!
……
"Your Majesty, one of our spies just returned from the south of the Yangtze River!"
"That...the spy said that the Jiangnan border is guarded by the Imperial Guards!"
"It might be difficult for us to go back to Jiangnan!"
General Tian said with horror on his face!
Jiangnan is their roots. If they can't go back to Jiangnan, they will be like rootless duckweed!
By then, they will be dead!
When the Eighth Wise King heard what General Tian said, his face changed drastically!
"Damn it! Is Jiang Chen trying to trap us in Yanzhou!?"
"No! Something's wrong!"
The Eight Wise Kings suddenly came to their senses!
"Jiang Chen is not trying to trap us in Yanzhou. He... he may have already arrived in Jiangnan before us!"
"What!?"
"Jiang Chen arrived in Jiangnan!?"
When General Tian heard what the Eighth Wise King said, his face changed instantly!
Jiang Chen's reputation in Jiangnan is known to everyone!
If Jiang Chen reaches Jiangnan before them, then the three counties in Jiangnan... will be in danger!
"My Lord, what should we do?"
General Tian was already panicking at this time!
If they continue like this, they will really be dead!
"Notify the army! Move out!"
"Be sure to return to Jiangnan as soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Following the order from the Eighth Wise King, the army set out overnight!
The Eighth Wise King was extremely anxious at this moment. If he lost Jiangnan, he would be finished!
Years of hard work gone in an instant!
"Jiang Chen!"
"You bastard!"
"Why do you always go against me?"
"Why!!!?"
The Eighth Wise King was furious!
In the opinion of the Eighth Wise King, the current situation he is facing is all caused by Jiang Chen!
If there was no Jiang Chen, how could he be so miserable! ?
Maybe he has already captured Yanzhou County and is going to surround the capital city!
……
One day later, at noon.
Jiang Chen and his group arrived at the city of Yangzhou.
Looking at the Yangzhou City in front of him, Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown slightly.
What the Virgin Mary had said to him at the beginning has always lingered in his heart.
He must get to the bottom of what happened to the Yangzhou Yang family back then!
"My Lord! I am willing to go and persuade the commander of Yangzhou City to surrender!"
Just when Jiang Chen was distracted, a general who surrendered to him in Jinling City came out.
"Hmm? Are you confident?"
Jiang Chen looked at the general with some surprise.
"My Lord, the commander of Yangzhou City is my good brother. When Yangzhou suffered a drought, his family almost starved to death. It was you who saved them, so he has always been grateful to you!"
"Now, if he knew that the Marquis was coming, he would definitely open the bed to welcome him!"
The general said excitedly.
"Is that so?"
"Then go ahead, but be careful!"
Jiang Chen thought about it and agreed to the general's request.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, the general rushed out on horseback.
He rushed all the way to the city gate. When the guard on the gate saw him, he hurriedly ordered his men to lower the basket.
When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he felt much more at ease.
In this situation, it is estimated that there will be no problem in persuading them to surrender.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the city gate opened, and the general who went to persuade the surrender came out with another general!
"I greet you, Lord!"
"The criminal is willing to surrender to the Marquis!"
After the general defending Yangzhou City came in front of Jiang Chen, he knelt respectfully in front of him!
……
"Hahaha! General, please stand up quickly!"
"The general's willingness to surrender is truly a blessing for me, the soldiers, and the people!"
"Go! Let's go to the city!"
Jiang Chen led everyone into the city!
After resting for a night in Yangzhou, everyone set off for Suzhou.
"My lord, there will probably be a tough battle in Suzhou!" Yan Youling said with some concern.
When the surrendered generals heard Yan Youling's words, they sighed helplessly.
Jiang Chen saw this scene and asked with a faint smile: "Why are the generals sighing so much?"
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, many generals looked at each other and said, "My Lord, you also know that the residence of the Eighth Sage King is in Suzhou."
"So, although Suzhou only has 5,000 defenders, they are the most elite troops under the command of the Eighth Sage King!"
"Moreover, the commander guarding the city here is a die-hard fan of the Eighth Sage King..."
After hearing these words, Jiang Chen understood what everyone meant.
No wonder everyone says it’s going to be a tough battle this time!
The Suzhou County City, built by the Eight Wise Kings, is extremely tall and also has a moat.
Although it is not as wide as the moat of Yanshui City.
However, Suzhou County City is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Five thousand people, if they perform well, can be enough to hold them off for ten days, and even cause them heavy losses!
This is not what Jiang Chen wants to see!
However, if Jiang Chen says that Suzhou County City cannot be taken down, he will not reply!
Because Jiang Chen has an insider in Suzhou County!
At the same time, the Eighth Wise King had arrived at the Jiangnan border and began the attack!
"Order your soldiers to open a new hole with all their strength!"
"Whoever can break through the hole will be rewarded with a million taels of gold!"
