Zhu Anming closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, the worst happened.

"How so!" Han grabbed his head regardless of his image, as if he had had a stroke.

Shui Mengyao quietly walked to Shui Yunfeng's side and said with a smile: "Dad, you always say that my third brother is not, what is it now, even if Hangzhou makes a big fuss this time, it won't affect our family!" ”

Shui Yunfeng smiled bitterly: "It's okay to count your father's mistake, your father will not object to your marriage to Yu Xun." ”

"It's useless for you to object!" Shui Mengyao snorted.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhu Anming stood up violently and looked at Shui Yunfeng with burning eyes.

"Water Owner? Are you talking about Yu Xun the commander of the Fourth Army of the Hui'an Army? ”

"That's him!" Shui Mengyao said proudly.

Zhu Anming looked at Shui Mengyao and said with a smile: "Ling Ai is so handsome, he is worthy of the tiger general of the world like General Yu." ”

"Xiangye has won the award." Shui Yunfeng smiled, his tone was no longer as respectful as before, and the relationship between the two began to change subtly.

Zhu Anming sat back in his seat, turned to his son, and asked, "What else is there?" ”

"The king went to Yuezhou with the forbidden army, and Cai Gao went to Xiuzhou with the town navy." Zhu Zuo said with his head drooping.

"What about the city gates? Is it still closed? ”

"It should be."

"Continue to send people to investigate, and if the gates are opened, come back and report immediately."

Zhu Zuo nodded and left the hall dejectedly.

While Zhu Anming was taking refuge in Wutong Villa, other Hangzhou officials were also hiding in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Hangzhou.

Like Zhu Anming, they constantly sent their subordinates to the city to inquire about the news, and they were full of hesitation about their future fate.

……

A few days later, Hui'an Mansion Jixi City.

A siege battle that is far more fierce than the city of Hangzhou is underway.

The 20,000 elites of the Tang Army are fiercely attacking Jixi City, which has only 5,000 defenders.

However, the city wall of Jixi City has been reinforced several times by Qin Youyu, and it is extremely strong, coupled with the cloud crossbow erected on the female wall, although the Tang army is not afraid of death, it is not so easy to take down this strong city.

The siege had been going on for five days, and on the city walls, Fu Lei's face was stained dark red with blood.

After cutting down a Tang soldier in front of him, he searched the enemy left and right, only to find that all the enemies on the city wall had been wiped out.

His nervous mind, which had been tense, finally relaxed, and he found that his eyes were full of blood, which was very uncomfortable, and he reached out and wiped it on his eye sockets.

Looking under the city wall, he saw that the enemy army had retreated, and he looked up at the sky and frowned slightly.

"Why did they withdraw so early today?" A voice sounded in Fu Lei's ear.

Turning his head to look, it was Jiang Yun who spoke, his face was also covered with blood, and only a pair of eyes were still bright.

"I don't know." Fu Lei shook his head.

Usually the enemy will withdraw after dark, because night is not conducive to siege. But today, it was clear that there was still an hour before dark, and the enemy army had retreated ahead of schedule.

Fu Lei didn't bother to think about it, so he decided to take the opportunity to rest and recuperate.

After leaving the city, he returned to his mansion in the city.

When he washed his face with hot water, one of his sergeants hurriedly entered the house and said loudly: "General, the reinforcements from Chizhou have arrived, just outside the west gate." ”

There was joy in the tone.

Fu Lei nodded, his expression did not change much, and he understood why Tang Jun retreated so early today.

However, even if they continue to attack, Fu Lei is confident that he will hold Jixi, and after a while, he believes that there will be results on the Hangzhou side.

Regardless of success or failure, they would send troops to aid Jixi City, so he didn't particularly fancy Chizhou reinforcements.

"Is there any news from Hui'an Mansion?" He asked.

"Not yet."

"Tell the news that the reinforcements from Chizhou have arrived." Fu Lei commanded, turned his head, and continued to wash his face.

The sergeant took the order and left.

After washing his face, Fu Lei took off his clothes and planned to wipe his body as well.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion outside the door, followed by the sound of eager footsteps, and the sergeant went and returned, his face flushed.

"What's wrong again?" Fu Lei frowned slightly.

"General, news has just come that we have taken Hangzhou! Hangzhou City is ours!! "The sergeant shouted loudly!

Fu Lei's eyes widened, his clothes fell to the ground, and suddenly, a sizzling sound sounded.

"General, the wound on your neck has cracked!" The sergeant exclaimed.

Fu Lei stretched out his hand to put it on his neck, and found that the wound was bleeding, he laughed, held the wound, and walked out of the door nonchalantly.

……

In the next few days, the news of the capture of Hangzhou by the Hui'an army spread almost throughout the south of the Yangtze River.

Jinling Mansion of the Tang Kingdom.

In the imperial study, Li Jing patted the imperial case vigorously and reprimanded: "I have already said that you should not use troops against Hui'an Mansion, you don't listen, now it's good, Lu Yuan won Hangzhou, his strength has been greatly enhanced, with his character, he will definitely not give up!" ”

"Father, the strength of Hui'an Mansion is increasing day by day, and the retainers think that we should regard them as the main enemies from now on and do our best to deal with them!" Li Hongyi insisted.

"Brother Huang, my brother thinks that we should take advantage of the weakness of Wu Yue and the small number of soldiers in Hui'an, and take the opportunity to capture the three states north of Hangzhou." Li Jingsui said with a smile.

"Listen carefully, your imperial uncle's idea is the right policy!" Li Jing looked at his son and said, "Grab more practical profits and less to fight for will, understand?" ”

Li Hongyi bowed his head and was silent.

Wang Kai, the privy envoy on the side, interjected: "Your Majesty, now that our main forces are gathered in the north, do you want to transfer them back?" ”

"Nope." Li Jing shook his head and said, "The recent military situation can be seen that the war in the Zhou Kingdom is in an unfavorable situation, and the opportunity I have been waiting for for a long time will soon appear, how can I give up now!" ”

"Then we won't have many troops to attack Wu Yueguo." Wang Kai whispered.

"Isn't there still a Jiangyin army stationed in Xuanzhou? Let them attack Huzhou! Li Jing tapped his finger on the imperial case and said.

"Your Majesty, if the Jiangyin army is transferred, then Xuanzhou will be empty, we have just attacked the Hui'an army, I am afraid that they will not let go of this opportunity!"

Li Jing pondered for a moment and said, "I have to find a way to appease him." ”

"Brother Huang, with Lu Yuan's current appetite, it's not so easy to appease." Li Jingsui reminded.

"If I crown him as the king of Chu, won't I be able to appease him?" Li Jing said lightly.

"Brother Huang Mingming, this can not only appease him, but as long as he is willing to accept your canonization, it will be difficult for him to interfere when we annex the territory of Wu Yue Kingdom." Li Jingsui clapped his hands and praised.

Li Hongyi was very eager to speak out against it, and in his opinion, Lu Yuan's threat was far greater than that of Wu Yueguo.

But he knew very well that his father was very dissatisfied with his decision to send troops to attack Hui'an Mansion this time, and if he continued to oppose it, it would only deepen his dissatisfaction.

Li Jing stood up and said with a smile: "I suddenly want to go and see the chrysanthemums in the back garden, Jing Sui, come with me." ”

He is in a good mood at the moment, the chaos and turmoil in the Tang Kingdom for a period of time have ended, and now, whether it is the south or the north, the situation is very favorable for the Tang Kingdom.

Li Jingsui's decision to propose to recruit Anhui Anfu can be said to be wonderful now.

A small Hui'an Mansion actually divided Wu Yue Kingdom into north and south, and the three states in the north instantly became fat.

Now it's up to whomever speaks fast. In terms of strength, Li Jing believes that most of this piece of meat will fall into his mouth.

The only pity is that the Jianwu army on the Xinzhou side has still not been wiped out, otherwise he can still send troops from Xinzhou to seize the land south of Wuyue Kingdom.

……

Fuzhou, Min Wangfu.

In the hall of the palace, the senior generals of the Qingyuan Army gathered together, and they sat down with a solemn face, and the generals under him also frowned and pondered, and none of them spoke.

Just now, Liu Congxiao learned a shocking news that Hangzhou was actually defeated by the Hui'an army! He immediately summoned his military ministers and told them the news.

And then there's this scene.

In the end, it was Xuan Fei who broke the silence first and asked, "King, is this news true?" ”

"You can't be wrong." Liu Congxiao kneaded the handrail and said in a deep voice: "Although this king doesn't know how he did it, Lu Yuan does now sit in Hangzhou. ”

Chen Hongjin glanced at Li Ziqian and said lightly: "This is not surprising, Wu Yueguo is already strong in the outside world, king, I suggest that we immediately march to Wu Yueguo, as long as we move fast enough, maybe we can get more land than Hui'an Mansion." ”

"Strategist, what do you think?" Stay in the habit of asking Li Ziqian.

"Great King, how is the situation of the forbidden army and the navy of Wu Yueguo?" Li Ziqian asked rhetorically.

"According to the scout's report, the Zhenhai Navy went to Xiuzhou in the north, and the forbidden army went to Yuezhou, and there was not much loss, and Lu Yuan should have succeeded in the surprise attack." Retention effect analysis.

Li Ziqian closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "I thought that I should stand still now." ”

"Why?" Stay with the effect frowned.

Chen Hongjin and Wang Baoshan glared at him even more.

Li Ziqian turned a blind eye to the two of them, and slowly spoke: "Now that Wu Yueguo has been cut in half by Lu Yuan, the total number of troops that Qian Hongyu can use in the south is only 200,000. ”

"That's why we should take advantage of Wu Yueguo's weakness to capture their land!" Chen Hongjin said in a tough tone.

Li Ziqian said lightly: "Does General Chen know the distribution of troops in the south of Wu Yue Kingdom?" ”

"There are 100,000 near Yuezhou in the north, and the Jing Navy and Wusheng Army in Wenzhou in the south add up to 100,000." Chen Hongjin said impatiently.

"Yes, at this time, if the Hui'an army moves first, then Wu Yueguo's forces will be transferred to the north, and when they are empty, we will find an opportunity to attack, which is the best policy."

Chen Hongjin looked at Li Ziqian and said coldly: "You mean that if we attack first, Wu Yueguo's troops will be transferred to the south, and Hui'an Mansion will be cheaper, right?" ”

Li Ziqian bowed slightly.
