Chapter 120: Soldiers Descend on the City
"How can Lingnan be poor? Although it is true that Lingnan is remote and remote, the rice there is harvested three times a year, the products are abundant, and there are all kinds of precious stones and treasures brought from other places, hmph, didn't Ashlu rely on those gems to make those fools in the capital trust him and speak for him......
"However, His Majesty actually relented for a moment and said that he would transfer him back to Beijing, but he tried his best to refuse, saying that he was willing to shepherd Lingnan for His Majesty, and what was a little hardship? What he was most happy about was that Lingnan could have many precious stones, and that he could honor His Majesty and make His Majesty and the Empress Dowager happy, which was his greatest blessing, and this kind of fortunate thing could not be asked for by others! Those princes and ministers were also afraid that they would not give them gems so generously if they changed to a Lingnan festival envoy, and they also strongly agreed with him to stay in Lingnan!"
"It's ridiculous that His Majesty really moved him, thinking that he was the most loyal and honest!"
Yang Yun sighed and said: "The great traitors and evil people are all like this, when their deeds are not revealed, they all seem to be loyal ministers and good generals!"
Then he asked again: "Then the county lord thinks that Hangzhou can be defended?"
Li Yi looked down at the map, his brows furrowed, as if he was analyzing the strength and deployment of all parties, he was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Difficult!
Yang Yun was startled and stood up straight, "No, why did the county lord say this?"
According to the information obtained from all sides, Xiao Chun, the commander of Jiangnan Dongdao, displayed all his troops from Yuezhou to Tonglu, and the defense line extended to Jixi, so that he could hold on until the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court, and soon the troops of Jiangnan Xidao would also be transferred eastward, approaching the rebels' occupation!
Li Yi put his hand on his forehead and said dejectedly: "Boats, are so many big ships under the command of Ashlu really used for business?"
Yang Yun's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Then what should I do? Once Hangzhou is lost, the rebels can go straight to Suzhou, Runzhou, and ......" Yang Yun, who has always been calm and calm, actually began to tremble at the end of his last note: "There is also Jinling ......"
He stood up with a brush: "I'll send someone to inform Xiao Jiedu envoy immediately!"
Li Yi still maintained the movement of supporting his forehead, and he didn't raise his head: "It's late!"
Yang Yun still didn't give up and asked with the last bit of hope: "Hurry up, five hundred miles urgently, it can be delivered to Xiao Jiedu's envoy tonight!"
Li Yi: "I'm afraid tonight is when Qiantang City, the capital city of Hangzhou, is broken......
Yang Yun hurriedly said: "Always have to try, do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven!"
Li Yi said weakly: "Go quickly!"
Yang Yun immediately ran out!
Qin Nuan clasped his hands together, and still couldn't help trembling slightly, if it was really as Li Yi had speculated...... Isn't that just a Yangtze River separated from Yangzhou by the rebels?
Separated by only one Yangtze River...... Fortunately, the Yangtze River is a moat...... However, the rebels still have many ships, big ships......
Li Yi crouched on the big case, and his forehead was supported for a long time before he raised his head, and his bright and bright black eyes had dimmed a lot.
Qin Nuan couldn't help but persuade: "Maybe that Xiao Jiedu envoy also thought of this and made preparations?"
"The daughter of that Jiedu envoy is His Majesty's favorite concubine!" Li Yi said weakly.
Qin Nuan's little spark that was lucky to the last bit was also wiped out......
Li Yi didn't say anything about that person's origin, nor did he mention his experience, but he could only explain one thing, except for having a good daughter, this festival envoy is really lackluster......
Qin Nuan added in a desperate and desperate manner: "This is the worst-case scenario, maybe the rebels are not so fast, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will attack Qiantang, the capital city of Hangzhou?"
Li Yi didn't bother to explain again, leaned on the table, closed his eyes, and pushed the map, "Look at it yourself!"
Qin Nuan's heart jumped, Yutu, this year and month map is an extremely rare thing, and it is also a very valuable thing, a first-class confidential document!
On the first day of being a little secretary, Li Yi trusted her like this?
However, Qin Nuan still couldn't help but walk to Qin Nuan's big case of red sandalwood carving, kneel down upright, and look at this ancient map.
The paper is very thick, Qin Nuan touched it twice, only to find that this is not paper, but animal skin, which is thin and tough, and feels very good.
With the memory of modern maps, she quickly found the most conspicuous landmark, the Yangtze River, and then followed the coastline to Hangzhou, where there was a boxy city at the mouth of the horn, Qiantang.
Why did Li Yi say that tonight was the night of the city break?
Qin Nuan went down and found Wuzhou, Wuzhou is Jinhua, and Yuezhou, Yuezhou is Shaoxing, Tonglu County, the farthest place she has ever been kidnapped......
The rebels occupied Wuzhou yesterday and are still advancing north, so maybe tonight or tomorrow, they will probably be at the forefront of Xiao Chun's southern defense line in Hangzhou County.
Xiao Chun was caught off guard before, and his place of governance was also in Qiantang, Hangzhou, in the northeast of Jiangnan East Road, so the entire province was lost to more than half at once.
Now that Xiao Chun has responded, he will use all the remaining troops to build this defense line, it is impossible for the rebels to advance easily, they will definitely be blocked there, even if Xiao Chun can't fight, but he is rich in resources and has many soldiers, far from the scattered state capitals that the rebels encountered along the way.
Once the rebels are stopped there, when the army of Jiangnan Xidao is also mobilized to the east, they will have no advantage, not to mention that the imperial court will continue to send troops to exterminate them......
So, what will they do? Naturally, they have to win the battle as quickly as possible......
Time is the victory!
If they use a large ship from Qiantangkou tonight to transport many soldiers to attack Qiantang City, then use Qiantang City as a stronghold and attack Xiao Chun with the rebels on the southern front......
Xiao Chun was naturally in chaos again, and he couldn't form an army......
Even according to the consistent practice of the rebels, many spies were ambushed in Qiantang City early, and when the city was in chaos, they went to seize the city gate, so Qiantang City would be broken faster and easier!
No wonder Li Yi deduced that Qiantang City was broken tonight!
Qin Nuan figured this out, and couldn't help muttering indignantly: "Hmph! The rebels must have quietly moored the big ships not far from Qiantang early in the morning, and they are ready, once they hit the south near Hangzhou, they will start to seize the city and attack inside and outside the front line!"
Li Yi, who was closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard her words, glared at Qin Nuan and said, "You can actually understand?"
Li Yi's sentence "understandable" has two meanings, one is that Qin Nuan can understand the map, and the other is that Qin Nuan can actually understand why, and he also judged that the big sea ship was waiting somewhere outside Qiantang early.
Li Yi's surprise made Qin Nuan's little face blush slightly, and then he felt a little weak, should he be low-key?
Friends, throw the votes, don't throw them and invalidate them tomorrow, it's not cost-effective. Throw away the ticket every day, and the personal experience value will rise, how cost-effective!
