Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

Seeing the changes in the captives' expressions, Lin Feng knew that his goal had been achieved, and his face was slightly happy. "Vietnamese prisoners, I solemnly promise you that as long as you cooperate honestly, we will never kill any of the prisoners indiscriminately."

"But I'll be frank with you. If we find any of you doing something tricky, don't blame us for being ruthless. We'll kill you without mercy once we find you."

Duan Qingyuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, please rest assured. Since we have surrendered, we will never go back on our word. If anything happens, just come to me."

Lin Feng nodded, "Okay! Since General Duan has said so, then I will give him this face. I hope you won't make it difficult for General Duan."

At this moment, Gao Rui quickly came to Lin Feng and said, "Brother Lin, can you please have a word with me?"

Lin Feng nodded and followed Gao Rui to a ruin. "Brother Gao, just say whatever you want to say!"

"Brother Lin, there is a huge cave at the foot of the mountain over there. The food of Hegu Pass is hidden in the cave. Let's take the 30,000 prisoners to the cave. In this way, we only need to send people to guard the entrance of the cave."

Lin Feng nodded, "Brother Gao, have you sent anyone to check the cave? How many entrances and exits are there?"

"We checked it out. The cave was newly dug by the Vietnamese army to avoid bombing by the Flying Battalion. It has only one entrance and exit. The cave is large enough to accommodate 30,000 people without any problem."

"Okay! Since there is a ready-made place for detention, let's just forget about transferring the prisoners to Jiangshui County. Go and take the prisoners to the cave now."

"Yes, General!"

Gao Rui cupped his hands and quickly walked towards the 30,000 prisoners...

Next, after having a hearty meal at Hegu Pass, Yan’s army began to march southward overnight, heading straight for Hegu City, sixty miles away.

Lin Feng fought quickly and defeated the Yue navy and the Hegu Pass garrison within a day. So far everything has been going very smoothly.

According to the information sent back by Lu Dongyuan, there are still 200,000 Vietnamese troops in Hegu City. Lin Feng, with his 160,000 troops, can completely besiege Hegu City with muskets, artillery and bombs, and then force the Vietnamese King Murong Zhengming to surrender. This is Lin Feng's best plan for peacefully unifying South Vietnam. Of course, the premise is that Murong Zhengming is still in Hegu City.

After Jiang Weidong, the deputy general of Hegu Pass, informed Jia Zhichun, the general manager of Fengyutai, of the news that the Yue navy had been annihilated, Jia Zhichun immediately left Hegu Pass in a carriage and drove at full speed towards Hegu City.

At 3 p.m., Jia Zhichun returned to the Fengyutai headquarters in Hegu City. After being informed by Lu Jian, he quickly walked into the Zhentai Pavilion.

"Greetings, Mr. Assistant Secretary!"

Wu Kaiyuan slowly put down the book in his hand and looked up at Jia Zhichun. "Boss Jia, shouldn't you be at Hegu Pass now? Why? Hegu Pass was captured by the Yan army so quickly?"

Wu Kaiyuan's tone was very unfriendly, so Jia Zhichun quickly bowed and said, "Sir, please listen to my explanation."

"Go ahead! I'm listening!"

"Replying to the Minister, I have received news that General Xu and his 50,000 naval forces have been annihilated. This is a serious matter, so I decided to come back and report to you personally."

Wu Kaiyuan stood up from his chair when he heard this. "What? When did this happen? Tell me the whole story in detail."

Jia Zhichun cupped his hands again, "Yes, sir! This morning at noon, General Xu suddenly assembled all the navy to go out of the port to fight against the Yan army..."

Next, Jia Zhichun told Wu Kaiyuan everything he knew.

"Boss Jia, the 50,000 naval forces under Xu Jin only held out against the Yan army for an hour? How is this possible?"

"Sir, this news was told to me personally by Jiang Weidong, the deputy commander of Hegu Pass. I didn't believe it at the time and asked General Jiang about it, but General Jiang said that their scouts saw it with their own eyes. It is precisely because the matter is too unbelievable that I decided to come back and report to you in person."

Wu Kaiyuan nodded. "It only takes one hour to wipe out my 50,000 navy. The Yan army is so powerful. The Hegu Pass is only 30 miles away from the navy camp. If I am right, the Yan army should have reached the Hegu Pass by now. This is a serious matter. I must go to the palace immediately to report this to His Majesty."

"Someone prepare the horse, I want to go into the palace."

"Yes, Lord Qianshi!"

The Royal Palace of Yue Kingdom.

Royal study room.

Emperor Murong Zhengming of Yue was reviewing memorials to the emperor when his right eyelid suddenly started twitching. Thinking of the saying that if the left eye twitches, it will bring good fortune and if the right eye twitches, it will bring disaster, he started to feel annoyed. He put down the memorials in his hand and rubbed his right eye. But as soon as he let go, his right eyelid continued to twitch.

Murong Zhengming looked at Cao Chun who was standing beside him, "Eunuch Cao, my right eyelid keeps twitching, do you have any solution?"

Cao Chun quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if your right eye is twitching, just stick a small piece of white paper on your eyelid."

Murong Zhengming looked at Cao Chun with a puzzled look on his face, "Eunuch Cao, if I put a piece of white paper on my right eyelid, will it stop twitching?"

"Your Majesty, jump! But it's a waste of time."

"White jump?"

"Your Majesty, it means that it would be useless even if I jumped."

"Hahaha! Interesting! Eunuch Cao, did you come up with this idea?"

"Your Majesty, the people of River Valley City do this when their right eyelid twitches. I've heard about this as well."

Murong Zhengming nodded. "Before his death, the late emperor warned me that the wisdom of the common people is endless, and told me to treat the people well. Now it seems that what the late emperor said is true!"

Murong Zhengming casually tore off a piece of white paper. Seeing this, Cao Chun immediately brought the glass mirror. Just as the white paper was pasted, the eunuch who was guarding outside the imperial study door hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Fengyutai Assistant Wu Kaiyuan is outside the palace asking for an audience."

"Let him in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, Wu Kaiyuan hurried into the imperial study and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"No need to be polite, Mr. Wu. Please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Murong Zhengming nodded, "Lord Wu is in a hurry, but has the Yan army already started crossing the river?"

Wu Kaiyuan quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, that's right. Early this morning, the Yan army began to cross the river, and General Xu immediately led his troops to fight. After the two sides fought on the Nanjiang River for an hour, the Yan army occupied our naval port, and General Xu and his 50,000 naval troops disappeared. We don't know if they are alive or dead."

Murong Zhengming stood up from the dragon throne abruptly. "What? Xu Jin's 50,000 navy troops were completely wiped out after only one hour of fighting? How is this possible?"

"Your Majesty, this was witnessed by the scouts at Hegu Pass. Moreover, the Yan army should have arrived at Hegu Pass at this moment. The battle of Hegu Pass must have already begun."

The theory of right eye twitching disaster really makes sense. Murong Zhengming's face darkened. "Lord Wu, you must pay close attention to the progress of the river valley battle. If there is any situation, go to the palace and report to me immediately. Go!"

"I obey the decree! I resign!"

Wu Kaiyuan bowed, turned around and quickly left the imperial study...
