Chapter 2120: The Siege of Kaifeng City

Chen Yongfu knew that Yang He was moved by the prefect Lin’s remarks and had the idea of ​​sneaking into the rebel camp.

The other party was the governor of Henan, who was the governor of the military affairs of a province. He was just a general under his command. Seeing that he could not stop him, he said directly: "It is only the first step to have an elite soldier. What happened after leaving the city is the key."

"Tell me in detail." Yang He asked with great interest.

If one could rely on a sneak attack on the rebel camp, lift the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture, and even turn defeat into victory, the bad effects of the previous defeat will be wiped out, and he might be able to go further in the court after returning to the capital.

Chen Yongfu said: "The person who leads troops out of the city must be a fierce general. There are tens of thousands of troops outside the city. Even if the sneak attack on the rebel camp successfully, it is likely that it will not be able to come back safely, so it is still determined to die."

"This is also easy," Yang He said.

As long as he tricks people out of the city and promises some benefits, he is not afraid that the officers and soldiers who leave the city will not fight bravely to kill the enemy.

"And that's right," Chen Yongfu said, "I thought I should not be in a hurry to send troops out of the city to attack. It's better to wait a moment. When the rebels outside the city relax a little, the possibility of successful attacks from the city will be greater."

Prefect Lin, who was standing beside him, said at this time: "I think you are afraid and are scared by the mere rebels. How could the rebels think that we would go out of the city to attack their camp? Once our sneak attack is successful, the rebels might blow up the camp themselves, saving us from taking action."

Chen Yongfu glanced at the Kaifeng prefect who could only talk big.

He knows these people well.

Everyone said it was amazing. When it was really time to act, they all sprained the mud.

If he really does what these civil servants say, then he will be really not far from death.

"Lin Futai, what General Chen said is not unreasonable. Even when sneak attacks have to pick on the enemy when the enemy is weak." Yang He said a few words for Chen Yongfu.

He didn't care about the fight between Chen Yongfu and Prefect Lin. He cared about who could help him solve the rebels outside the city. As long as it was useful to him, he didn't mind talking to the other party.

Prison Lin, who was scolded, could see clearly in his heart and no longer speak.

He could make Chen Yongfu, the general, unable to come to Taiwan in public, but he did not dare to anger Yang He, the governor of Henan.

"Report to the Supervisor, Chief Cui is looking for a visit outside!" The token officer guarding outside the door came in to report.

"Changshi Cui!"

Yang He frowned, and he didn't remember who he was.

Seeing this, Prefect Lin, who was standing below, whispered: "Changshi Cui is the Left Chief of the Zhou Palace."

"So it's the chief of the royal palace." Yang He suddenly realized and immediately said, "He stayed in the royal palace unhonestly, what should he do when he came to see me?"

Few civil officials liked the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, and even the officials of the vassal king's mansion were not liked by civil officials.

Prefect Lin whispered: "It should be for the rebels' besieging the city."

Although the vassal kings were not liked by civil servants, they were the highest-ranking existences in the local area. Even as the governor of Henan, Yang He had to face the Zhou vassal.

"Take him in!" Although Yang He didn't like the people sent by Zhou Fan, he had to see the other party.

Shortly after the token officer left, a chief of the Zhou royal palace wearing a fifth-rank court uniform walked in from outside.

"The officials have met Yang Shishi." Cui Changshi took the lead in bowing to Yang He who was sitting in the main seat.

Yang He didn't even move his butt, so he raised his right hand in vain and said, "Cui Changshi doesn't have to be too polite. Come on, give him a seat."

The other party represents His Highness the King of Zhou. Even if he doesn't like these officials in the royal palace, even if he shows respect for the King of Zhou, he cannot be too slow to treat the chief of the royal palace.

The servant brought a round stool.

Cui Changshi sat down with great sting.

"I don't know if Chief Cui came to see me, but what is His Highness the King of Zhou's explanation?" Yang He did not intend to slander the emperor's mansion, and directly asked the other party's reason directly.

Cui Changshi raised his hand and clasped his fists and said, "The emperor is here to ask Master Yang when the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture City will be resolved."

"This," Yang He pondered for a moment, "I'll send him a message to His Highness. The rebels are now in great power, and it will be difficult to resolve the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture for a while. However, I believe that this situation will not last long, so I would like to ask His Highness to wait patiently for the good news."

Hearing this, Cui Changshi shook his head slightly.

He said: "Your Highness may not be satisfied with the answer from Supervisor Yang. He may also think that Supervisor Yang is perfunctory. If your Highness makes a fuss and hand it over to the court, it will be a troublesome thing for Supervisor Yang."

"You are threatening me!" Yang He's voice suddenly became cold.

Facing the angry Yang He, Changshi Cui waved his hand and said, "The officials dare not threaten the supervisor, they just state a fact. Now the supervisor has been losing the war in Henan. I think the court will be dissatisfied for a long time. If His Highness of Zhou was participating in the supervisor's book at this time, the supervisor must be detained at the jail of the Ministry of Justice for interrogation."

"There is no need to threaten me. Even if I am detained in Beijing and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, I will leave Henan. But can His Highness King Zhou leave Henan? Once the Kaifeng Prefecture City is broken, the Zhou Palace may be the first target for the rebels to clean up." Yang He countered mercilessly.

When Cui Changshi heard this, he was not angry, but said with a smile: "Because of this, the royal palace and Yang Shishi can benefit from it. His Highness of Zhou is willing to help Yang Shishi in defending the city. He only hopes that Yang Shishi can lift the siege of Kaifeng City as soon as possible."

Yang He was stunned by Cui Changshi's softening words.

But he could feel that Cui Changshi was not sent by the King of Zhou to cause trouble, so he asked: "I wonder what kind of help his Highness can help his subordinates?"

"Your Highness is willing to pay money and grain to assist the supervisor in defending Kaifeng Prefecture." Cui Changshi expressed his purpose for coming here.

At this time, Yang He also reacted.

The reason why the other party threatened and beat him up was to make him understand that the Zhou royal palace was here to help him, rather than begging him to defend the city.

Whether it was helping or asking for help, with the support of King Zhou, Yang He felt much more relaxed.

He was not afraid of these vassal kings doing nothing, but was afraid of these vassal kings making trouble in secret. At that time, he would not only face the rebels outside the city, but also have to spend some energy to guard against the inside.

At least in his opinion, Zhou Fan was much more worry-free than the Fu Fan in Luoyang.

Cui Changshi looked at Yang He with a relaxed expression and said, "Your Highness supports the supervisor to guard Kaifeng Prefecture City. Will the supervisor also give His Highness a correct word? When will the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture City be resolved?"

"This," Yang He showed hesitation.

If the plan to sneak attack the rebel camp is successful, the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture City will be resolved soon. If it is not successful, it is hard to say when the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture City will be resolved.

"Report! The rebels outside the city retreated."
