"Quick! Fast! Fast! β
"Give me a 'spirit' all of them!"
"The handsome and princess have not stopped, are you embarrassed to call me tired?"
"It is said that 'there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou', work hard, brothers, get down to Hangzhou as soon as possible, and eat and drink spicy food together!"
"Little girl, didn't you talk about it early in the morning, to marry a petite southern aunt? Now I can't use my hard work to get out, and when I enter Hangzhou City, I will marry you a white, tender, fragrant and soft Hangzhou girl. txtβββ

The soldiers were fast, and the Zhenbei coalition army rushed to Hangzhou day and night, day and night.
The soldiers couldn't help but show a tired 'color' on their faces after days of rapid marching, and the generals ran back and forth in the ranks on horseback, using various methods to cheer up the soldiers under their hands.
The 300,000-strong army took action, like thunder, and the road was long, so naturally it could not hide people's eyes and ears.
The states and counties along the way were alarmed by this earth-shattering sound.
At first, they thought it was an earthquake. In the end, it was discovered that it was the Zhenbei coalition army attacking, and the people who had just recovered from the burning and looting of the pirates were terrified and panicked.
The incompetence of the Runan army and the local garrison was wreaking havoc last time, they had already deeply realized that even the pirates couldn't stop them, who could expect them to block the 'elite' Zhenbei coalition army among the 'elite'?
The rich gentry of various states and counties have transferred their property and hid it in secret rooms, and some rich gentry of various states and counties have joined forces to jointly come up with a considerable amount of property to eliminate disasters with wealth.
When the Runan army exterminated pirates in various places, it was no different from robbers.
For them, the official army is not much better than the pirates, and in the name of the law, they have done nothing less to raid their homes and destroy the 'gates'. [hua.
However, what made them happy was that the Zhenbei coalition army did not enter the city at all along the way, and went south, even when passing through the countryside, they also walked from the road in a regular manner, not only did not trample on the crops in the field, but also did not move the crops that were ripe and were in the harvest season, and did not commit any offence in autumn.
This kind of military style formed a sharp contrast with the Runan Army, and left a deep impression in the hearts of the people.
The team is so huge, and the local garrison force is too far behind, where dare to hit a stone with an egg? I could only write an excerpt and send it to Hangzhou at an expedited speed.
As for whether the current prime minister outside Hangzhou, Lord Zhou of the Zhou family, received the news and dealt with it, or the former prime ministers and auxiliary ministers in Hangzhou, Lord Wang Huai and Lord Xie An, got the news to deal with this matter, and how to deal with it, they don't care.
They only need to take care of local affairs, and the affairs of the court, with their local garrison strength of hundreds of numbers, they can't 'intervene'.
Moreover, now that Zhenbei has come in again, I know what will happen in the end?
At this time, it is better to watch from the sidelines.
Anyway, who is it to be an official?
The Southern Emperor Li Shiqing launched a coup d'Γ©tat to seize the throne, his name was not right, and when Yidi was 'chaotic', he couldn't even keep Kyoto, and abandoned the people of Kyoto to flee in spite of it.
In addition, the time when Nanting was established in Hangzhou was still short, and people's sense of belonging and loyalty were not strong.
It's just that because the south is under the control of the Runan army, the principle of proximity can only choose the southern court.
However, the Zhou family, which was originally rated very well among the southerners, as a veteran family in the south, has fields, shops, bridges and paved roads in various places, and has a good reputation. Moreover, when the first emperor was still there, when Zhou Jingshu was still in Beijing, many southern magistrates had to visit Zhou Jingshu's house when they entered Beijing to take up their posts, and they did get some care from Zhou Jingshu.
At the beginning, Nanting was able to take over the southern states and counties, and the Zhou family, the head snake, contributed a lot.
The reason why the Zhou family was able to quickly gain the upper hand in the Southern Court, Zhou Jingshu replaced Wang Kui's position, and suppressed the officials in Kyoto to death, was also inseparable from the support of these officials in the south.
It's just that after the Zhou family came to power, the officials who supported them didn't see much benefit, but there was constant 'chaos'.
The pirates are rampant, and now the battle on the front line has been lost, and now the Zhenbei coalition army is driving straight into the southern land, but the Zhou family has no time to deal with it, because their base camp and nest are on fire.
The incompetence and weakness of the Zhou family shook everyone's confidence in them.
People can't help but think that when Li Shiqing had not yet seized the throne, when the Zhou family had not yet supported Li Shiqing to establish the Southern Court, causing the world to be divided into four parts, and when Daxing was still dominating the world, at that time, how could there have been such a thing? Those pirates, even if they occasionally made 'chaos', most of them were on the coast, and even if they entered the inland river, they never dared to stay, at most they would leave with a vote. As for the Yidi army, not to mention, they were all suppressed at the border and could not move.
The Zhou family did not bring any benefits to the people of the south, only turmoil and unrest.
Officials are also southerners, and their families, relatives, friends, and neighbors are also in the south, and if the south is uncertain, their interests will be harmed.
Therefore, now they have a lot of complaints about the Zhou family.
There are complaints, naturally it is not like the beginning of Nanting, when everyone has placed a lot of expectations, they spare no effort to support the Zhou family.
In such an environment, the Zhenbei coalition army drove all the way to Hangzhou, and did not encounter any obstacles in the middle. It made the generals in the Zhenbei Army suspicious.
What's going on with this government office to the south?
Even if they can't be defeated, delaying along the way will cause them some trouble, affecting the speed of the march, and giving Hangzhou more time to deal with it?
What's going on with this green light?
It is absolutely impossible for them to turn over in the northern frontier.
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't know how to send troops this time, everyone would have wondered if Li Mo and Sima Xiao had already sent people to successfully persuade the officials of various states and counties.
Under such circumstances, the march of the Zhenbei coalition army was much faster than expected, and it was originally planned to reach Hangzhou in ten days, and at the current rate, it would be possible to reach Hangzhou in two more days.
At this time, outside Hangzhou, Zhou Jingshu had already received the news of the attack of the Zhenbei coalition army, and his face suddenly became heavy.
"Fourth uncle, what happened?"
Seeing this, Childe Wednesday's heart sank and asked.
Zhou Jingshu didn't hide it from the son of Wednesday. At the beginning, at the critical juncture, Gongzi on Wednesday persuaded several generals of the Runan Army to bring troops to support, so that he could encapsulate Weizhou City and confront Wang Huai and Xie An, so now Zhou Jingshu attaches great importance to Gongzi on Wednesday.
This nephew is truly talented.
Now the Zhou family relies on the two of them to support them, and the rest of them are useless.
Therefore, such a major event Zhou Jingshu naturally wanted to let the third son know.
Zhou Jingshu handed the letter to the third child, and after the third childe read it, the face that had always been hung up became stern.
If they can't take Hangzhou City before the Zhenbei coalition army arrives, Nanting will be in danger! The Zhou family is in danger! "The disaster of destroying the 'door' is imminent!" Zhou Jingshu sighed and asked Zhou Gongzi: "Chengfeng, what do you think now, just say that between our uncles and nephews, there is no need to have any worries." β
