Xia Jing avoided Feng Zhang and went to the official warehouse in Yuzhou, taking the last bit of grain in Yuzhou city into the space.

The next day, Lu Leshan, the guard of Yuzhou, received a report from his subordinates that the grain in the official warehouse had been stolen, so he rushed to the granary. , as if this pile of food disappeared out of thin air, it's very weird!

In a few days, Yuzhou City was turned upside down, but no grain was found.

The food in the official warehouse was gone, and the little food in the barracks could not last for a few days.

Now the stolen food cannot be found, and the food in the city is about to run out, and the rebel team is unstable.

Lu Leshan is in a hurry!

Especially seeing the grain outside the city being harvested by the imperial officers and soldiers all the way, he became even more anxious!

If the current situation continues, the people in Yuzhou City will be trapped here to death, and there is absolutely no possibility of survival. If this is the case, it is better to fight.

But thinking that leading the team to fight out would be a narrow escape, he hesitated again.

Barracks outside the city.

"In the past few days, everyone pay attention to the movement of the rebels in the city, they may jump the wall in a hurry!" Xia Jing reminded everyone.

Long Yutian looked at her, "Your Majesty has received the news and knows that the rebels can't hold back at last?"

Xia Jing smiled: "No, I guess they won't last long."

Long Yutian was taken aback, when did the war depend on a hunch?
He thought for a while and said: "Since the empress thinks they won't last long, then the subordinates will arrange for people to continue to persuade them to surrender. If someone really surrenders, they won't have to fight each other. This is also a windfall."

Xia Jing nodded in agreement with his approach, but the method of persuading surrender can be changed, the efficiency of sending people to shout outside the city is too low, only the rebels on the city wall can hear it, and the scope is limited.

"I have a little song here, which can be adapted so that the soldiers can learn to sing it. When all the soldiers sing it to the city of Yuzhou, the shocking power is incomparable to what you send a dozen or so cavalry to persuade."

"A little song?"

Long Yutian's eyelids twitched, and he asked the rough man on the march to sing a song, raised his orchid fingers, and made people dare not look directly at the scene of coquettish poses!
Whatever he said, he had to fight for the rough guys in the team, so don't embarrass them.

"Um, damsel, our team is full of rough guys. It might be okay for them to boo and yell, because they have a loud voice, but it's a bit difficult to make them sing!"

"What I want is to have a loud voice!" Xia Jing then handed him a piece of paper: "Here are the lyrics, you should follow me to learn it a few times first, and teach the soldiers after you have learned it."

"what?"

Long Yutian was dumbfounded, he was quite old, why did he let him learn singing?
Doesn't this kill him!
"Well, that, empress, it's okay for you to let your subordinates go into battle to kill the enemy, but it's really hard for you to let your subordinates sing with my broken voice, and, the most important thing is that your subordinates don't understand the rhythm! Out of tune and broken voice The voice is even worse, like howling ghosts and wolves, don't scare you!"

Xia Jing didn't let Long Yutian off because of his refusal, but pointed to Ye Fei who was standing beside him, "Ye Fei, stand up and learn with the supervisor!"

Ye Fei's eyelids twitched when he heard this, he is just a personal guard, how come he has to learn to sing?Although he was reluctant, he didn't dare to refute and stood up honestly.

Xia Jing knows the importance of ideological education. These songs were selected by her from the previous videos of the space, and they are all military songs.

The first song I learned was "Defend the Yellow River". The lyrics are just a few lines, and some places have been slightly changed, which is more in line with this era, and it is easy to understand and easy to learn.

While Xia Jing was teaching, she corrected their singing and what they paid attention to. Within a quarter of an hour, the two had mastered it.

When Xia Jing announced that they had learned it, Long Yutian was still a little dazed, "Your Majesty, you just learned it, it's that simple?"

Xia Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this, this person started to look conflicted, and now she thinks it's too simple, what's the matter?
"Yes! After learning these few lines, you can ask everyone to sing them again. You go to teach the generals first, and let them teach the soldiers under their command."

"This song is catchy and easy to remember. Soldiers who don't have singing skills can achieve the effect as long as they roar out with momentum." Long Yutian couldn't wait to teach the generals. He wanted to see the momentum of the whole army singing.

Xia Jing asked him and Ye Fei to sing alone, then waved them to teach others.

Not long after, loud and clear singing wafted over the barracks outside the city.

The next day, the rebels in Yuzhou City drank a bowl of gruel and rested lazily against the city wall, when they heard the sound of horseshoes outside the city.

Someone noticed the commotion outside the city and shouted anxiously: "The enemy army is attacking the city! Hurry up! Get up, everyone, and those on the tower must beat their gongs as a warning!"

The lieutenant general of Yuzhou City, who was resting on the tower, heard the sound of horseshoes and the exclamation of soldiers. He jumped up from his chair in fright, and leaned on the window to see, okay, a group of cavalry is rushing towards the gate of the city.

Immediately, the soldiers outside the building rang the gong, and all the guards will be put on alert.

"The lackeys of the court want to attack the city, why don't they give a signal first, is this a surprise attack?" The lieutenant was annoyed in his heart. He knew that the enemy army was coming to attack the city today, and the meal in the morning would have satiated his soldiers.

Now that everyone is hungry, how to fight against the enemy?
The soldiers guarding the city wall were extremely nervous, holding their weapons tightly, but their legs were weak. How could they fight?

Some timid soldiers were about to cry!
If you encounter enemy troops in the wild, you can still escape if you can't beat them, but they are defending the city now, and there is no way to escape if they want to escape.

If Xiao Ming confesses to be wronged here, they are good citizens, but because they were captured by these bandits, they had to join their team, and now they have become bandits. If the imperial soldiers really break through , Is it too late for them to surrender?Can you save your life?

Soon someone noticed that the cavalry below stood still at a safe distance, and the team lined up neatly, singing in unison.

"What are they doing? Can we sing?"

"What the wind is roaring, the horse is howling to defend their hometown, and they sing as if they are the party of justice. It is obvious that the court has no morals and no actions to force the people to rebel. Why does it sound like we have done heinous things now? "

Some people also have different opinions, and their focus is different, "Don't you think they sang very energetically? This song is different from other songs. Even people like us who don't know how to sing can sing well, and can Sing with vigor!"

"You're right. Listening to their songs, I feel like my life is getting better!"

"No matter how aggressive you are, you won't be able to bear it even if you're hungry!"

The soldiers outside the city took the trouble to sing it over and over again, and drank water when they were tired. The hundreds of cavalry who came to sing the song each brought a pot of water, and there was no problem singing for half a day.

The majestic singing reverberated over Yuzhou City, and everyone who went up the city wall or not could hear it.

At this time, the rebel army had not yet formed a climate, and their combat effectiveness was sluggish. When they met the imperial army with the same slack combat effectiveness, they gained the upper hand and captured the three states of Qing, Yan, and Henan.

Now he met Xia Jing's elite soldiers, and they were a little helpless for a while, not knowing where to start.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court sang songs outside the city for three consecutive days. They listened so much that even the rebels understood the lyrics and could hum the whole song.

There were also some people who felt unstable when they heard it. The morale of the court soldiers and the rebel army were obviously going to two extremes. Facing such a strong army, they felt that there was no future for them to follow the rebel army.

The result of the swaying of people's hearts was that a group of people in Yuzhou City could no longer bear the hunger, assassinated the rebels defending the city late at night, opened the city gate and escaped, and they surrendered to the court.

After Li Chengmu captured Yuzhou City, he was still a little dizzy. The city that must be contested by military strategists was captured so easily?
The main generals of the rebel army marched to the city wall and beheaded in front of all the prisoners in the city!
Those rebels who surrendered who are willing to join the imperial army can be disrupted and incorporated into the imperial army, and those who do not want to join the army can be repatriated to their hometowns, but if they are found to join the rebels, the next time they are captured, they will only be beheaded.
-
Yuzhou was recovered, and the whole Yuzhou was tantamount to returning to the name of the imperial court.

The rise of Lingnan soldiers and horses means that the imperial court is strong and strong, and with Xia Jing's support, there is no need to worry about money and food. If you continue to work hard, Yanzhou and Qingzhou will definitely be able to win, so that Prince Ning, who recognizes the thief as his father and split Dayu, will be punished accordingly!
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the Lingnan soldiers and horses led by Xia Jing and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses were stationed in Lingbi County on the border of Yuzhou, while the rebel troops were stationed in Xiaqiu.

The two armies faced each other across the Tang River and repaired the fortifications, but neither of them acted rashly.

And this stalemate was broken after the arrival of the imperial court Jiankang's soldiers and horses.

Troops from all three parties defeated the rebels steadily.

"Master, according to the current situation, we will push the rebels to the border of Jizhou, why don't we push the rebels to Qingzhou, and then crucify them to death in Qingzhou?"

After all, Yanzhou and Qingzhou have long been plagued by the rebels, and it would be a bit of a loss if they were allowed to harm Jizhou.

Facing Ye Fei's question, Xia Jing smiled and snatched the comb from his hand: "Jizhou and Youzhou have been separated from the imperial court for too long, and I am afraid that they have already developed a disobedient heart. If they stay in the north and stay safe, How will the imperial court take back the governance rights of these two state capitals?"

Ye Fei suddenly realized that in the face of the current situation, none of the generals came to report the situation to Xia Jing. It seemed that they all understood her intentions.

Ye Fei thought about this, and said guiltily: "This subordinate is so stupid that he didn't understand what Madam meant, and misunderstood Madam."

"It's all trivial things. You don't have to worry about it. After all, your main task is to keep me safe." Xia Jing didn't care at all. She combed her hair and gently tied it into a bun.

Ye Fei saw how foolish she was, and brought up the old story again: "Master, you have been fighting outside for the past few months, and you don't even have a personal servant by your side. Why don't we buy a few maids outside? Is it okay to pick it up with Baimei?"

Xia Jing stood up, walked to the chair next to her and sat down. After hearing what he said, she said, "It's inconvenient to take a few girls in the barracks. Besides, those two girls are fine at home. I can't bear this pain."

"Then it's too inconvenient for you to have no one to wait on you."

Xia Jing glanced at him jokingly, "Isn't there always you waiting by my side?"

After hearing this, Ye Fei's heart beat faster for no reason, and his face turned red.

Just when he was about to think about it, Xia Jing said again: "You stay with me, and I can do the personal things by myself, so I don't need to add girls for the time being, and if you find girls who don't have the time to accompany you, you will also add to me." If they are in danger, I might have to protect them!"

Ye Fei felt a little embarrassed in the house, added some charcoal to the stove, and went to prepare toiletries for Xia Jing.

After washing, he lay on the kang and fell asleep not long after. When he woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Ye Fei heard the movement in the house and walked in with hot water.

Xia Jing felt the cold air while washing, and asked, "It snowed again last night?"

"Well, the snow fell heavily last night, and many houses in Jiyin City were crushed. Part of the soldiers stationed in the city came out to rescue them." Ye Fei replied, putting hot water on the toilet rack.

Xia Jing was a little surprised, she stood beside Ye Fei, watched him prepare all the toiletries for her, and boasted casually: "Now you have more and more potential to be a warm man."

"Ah?" Ye Fei stepped aside and looked at her suspiciously: "Master, what did you say?"

Xia Jing shook her head and changed the subject: "Who gave the order?"

Ye Fei froze for a moment, then replied, "Your Highness's order!"

After Xia Jing heard the words, she boasted: "I have made progress!" She didn't ask any more questions, and ate her breakfast with peace of mind.

After the breakfast was finished, Yan Qiong came and said, "Master, a letter from the capital is here."

Xia Jing took it and glanced at the handwriting on the envelope, and said with a smile, "It's a letter from shopkeeper Ding."

As he spoke, he opened the letter and browsed through the ten lines at a glance.

Ding Daqiang wrote in the letter that after several months of hard work and according to the blueprints, the reorganized Bingzhan Bureau in the capital finally built the steam engine that Xia Jing wanted.

They wrote to ask what the steam engine is for.

Ding Daqiang also reported in the letter that the glass factory and cement factory in Beijing have been operating profitably.

The imperial soldiers forced the rebels to the north of Yanzhou, Dayu's people had a new understanding of the imperial court's ability, and those stalking forces, like flies that found the smell of fish, immediately ran to the capital.

Ding Daqiang said that now the four city gates of the capital are queuing up to enter the city every day, and the sales of houses and shops in the city are booming!

They don't have to worry about selling at all, and the buyers don't dare to complain about buying their own houses and shops again, otherwise they won't make a move, and some people will make a move to buy it.

Both Ye Fei and Yan Qiong were paying attention to Xia Jing's expression, and seeing the happy expression on her face after reading the letter, they asked, "What happy event did the letter from Shopkeeper Ding say?"

Xia Jing didn't hide from the two of them, she folded the letter with a smile and put it in a drawer, and said, "Master Ding is very capable, he has cleared up the capital city in just a few months, and put the glass factory and cement factory on the right track. It is now profitable."

The happiest thing is that the steam engine has been built, and the captives can be sent to repair the railway in the spring of next year.

Thinking of this, Xia Jing thought that there are not enough captives in the capital, should I wait for the snow to melt next year, go to the grassland again, and get some captives back to repair the railway?
