"I'm more at ease if you are here." County Magistrate Chen thought his master wanted to go to see Changshi Cui with him.

From the very beginning, he never thought about leaving his master alone.

If there is one more person around you, maybe it will be better to convince Cui Changshi to use the money to bribe the rebels to retreat.

However, the master next to him shook his head and said, "The person the student is talking about is not himself, but Master Yang who has not shown up."

"Mr. Yang has been ill. He is willing to come forward?" County Magistrate Chen frowned.

After the last time the official army failed to attack the city, Yang He said he was ill and his power fell into the hands of Prefect Lin. At this time, he didn't think it would be of much use to bring Yang He.

Seeing that County Magistrate Chen hesitated, the master said, "The people don't know whether Master Yang is healthy or not. Do you still don't know that Dongweng, you are nothing more than losing your fighting spirit and just waiting for the will to be arrested and taken to Beijing."

"Since you know all this, why do you have to take him to see Changshi Cui?" County Magistrate Chen asked in confusion.

The master who heard this said smiled and said, "It is precisely because of this that the students hope that Dongweng will take him to see Changshi Cui."

"I don't understand." County Magistrate Chen showed doubts.

The master explained on the side: "Who doesn't like being an official, and who is willing to lose his post? The reason why Master Yang became like this is because he can't see hope. In the entire Kaifeng City, Dongweng, you can give him this hope."

"I'm just a lawsuit, what hope can I give him?" County Magistrate Chen disagreed.

"No." The master raised the folding fan in his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and then said, "Removing the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture is hope. As long as there is a little hope, our Master Yang will never let it go, because this may be his only chance to turn over."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Chen showed contemplation and rubbed several fingers back and forth.

The master continued, "Unlike Lin Futai, this Yang Commander has no way out. He only knows that 50,000 taels of silver can lift the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture. He must be more anxious to collect this money than Dongweng."

"As you said, I should tell Mr. Yang this good news." County Magistrate Chen also felt that his master was right, and it was a good move to win over Mr. Yang to appear.

Even though this commander Yang is no longer concerned about the affairs in the city, he is still nominally the governor of Henan and the power to inquire about Henan's military affairs.

What’s important is that there is also a background in the capital, which is more suitable than if he, the county magistrate, directly came to Cui Changshi.

After being led by this master, County Magistrate Chen decided to find Yang He.

Now Yang He has long lost the enthusiasm of coming to Henan, and his plans have all turned into flowing water. The reinforcements of Huguang and Sichuan and Guizhou who were all relying on him have never been able to enter Henan, and ended up being trapped in Kaifeng City.

He is more than ten years older, and his temples have a lot of gray hair.

"Master, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture is looking for a visit."

The person who called the master was the servant brought by Yang He from the capital. At this time, the only servants he was willing to stay by his side were the servants he brought by his family.

"It seems that the will of the court has arrived." Yang He looked sad, and he regretted coming to Henan in his heart.

The servant said, "Master, you forgot that Kaifeng Prefecture is now surrounded, and even if the capital's order is reached, you can't enter Kaifeng City."

"Oh yes, it seems that I'm all covered in luxuriant ways." Yang He gently patted his forehead with his hand and asked immediately, "Send the person away, just say I'm in good health and should not be treated to guests."

"Yes." The servant agreed and turned around and retreated.

Yang He picked up the pen again, dipped it ink, and continued to practice writing on the white paper on the table.

Nowadays, only by practicing calligraphy can he forget his worries and sorrows.

The servant who had left not long ago soon returned to the room and bowed and said, "The magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture said he had something important to see you, and he also said that it was related to whether Kaifeng Prefecture could be rescued. He also said that he would not leave if he could not see you."

Tick.

A drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen hanging over the paper, and a large piece of black dots were dyed black on the white paper.

"You say what you said just now?" Yang He stared at the servant.

The servant said, "The magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture said that he would not leave if he could not see you."

"It's not this sentence, the previous sentence?" Yang He said.

The servant recalled and said, "He said he had something important to see you, Master, which is related to the rescue of Kaifeng Prefecture."

"Yes, that's the sentence." Yang He put down the pen in his hand and said to his servant, "You are going there and bring this Kaifeng Prefecture magistrate here."

The servant stepped down and went outside to bring people over.

At this moment, Yang He began to restlessly and walked back and forth in the room alone.

Just as the master next to Chen County Magistrate analyzed, whether the siege of the Fengfu City can be untied is Yang He's last hope.

Shortly after the servant left, he soon took County Magistrate Chen to Yang He's room.

"The subordinate has met the commander." As soon as he entered the house, County Magistrate Chen immediately saluted Yang He.

Yang He waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, sit down!"

"Thank you, General Manager." County Magistrate Chen walked to the seat next to him and sat on it with only half of his butt.

Yang He reached out to the cover bowl, hoping to calm down his emotions by drinking tea.

But when he picked up the cover bowl and put it to his mouth, he realized that the tea had already been cold, so he put it back on the table and asked, "You come to see me, I guess there is something important!"

Although I wanted to know immediately about untiing the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture City, I still maintained a little reserve and did not directly ask the other party how to untied the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture City.

"To be honest, the subordinates have found a solution to the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture City." County Magistrate Chen said his purpose directly without any rashness.

Yang He's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about his reserve and asked directly: "Tell me quickly, what's the solution?"

Resolving the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture City has become his resentment and his last chance. He is willing to try even if there is a slight chance.

"The officials were ordered by Lin Futai a few days ago to go out of the city to negotiate with the rebels. The rebels promised to withdraw their troops as long as they received 50,000 taels of silver." The magistrate Chen stared at Yang He.

Resolving the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture is Yang He's hope, but Yang He is also his hope.

After hearing this, Yang He was not as happy as he imagined.

Seeing him pondering for a long time, he said, "You come to me. It must be because of the Prime Minister Lin and the others who don't agree to give the money to the rebels!"

"Lin Futai felt that the rebels wanted too much money and were unwilling to take the money. General Chen wanted to use the money on the defenders in the city, so the matter was delayed." County Magistrate Chen explained.

After hearing this, Yang He snorted lightly and said, "Not only that, I'm afraid that the rebels would collect the money but would not withdraw their troops. He made money from nothing and earned the 50,000 taels of silver."
