Yan Shi led more than 3,000 infantry to the east of the city, and his order was to capture the east gate and let the Mengxiao troops enter the city.

Li Wencheng rode beside him, looking at the surrounding streets, with a smile on his face.

Although all the shops are closed, from the number of these shops, he can still see the prosperity of Hangzhou, such a big city, is about to fall into his own hands, how can he not be excited.

He thought about the day when the Hui'an army would conquer Hangzhou, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and Hangzhou was in the hands of Hui'an Mansion like this, which made him full of expectations for his future.

In his opinion, under the leadership of Marquis Lu, it is not impossible for them to unify this troubled world. And he knew that most of the people in the army had this kind of thought, and Yan Shi thought so and was convinced.

Li Wencheng continued to browse the street scenery, thinking that after a while, he would buy a better house in Hangzhou.

At this time, Yan Shi's voice came from his ears: "Wen Cheng, have you noticed that Hou Ye is letting our Second Army be the main force this time, and Yu Xun's Fourth Army will assist us?" ”

Li Wencheng said with a smile: "Brother Yan, you think too much, this time it's just because we have an internal response in the city, so the plan is arranged like this, besides, the main force is not only our second army, but also the third army." ”

Yan Shi snorted and said, "Anyway, I think Master Hou must have noticed that the Fourth Army was getting more and more carried away, so he suppressed them." ”

"Brother Yan, why do you always look at the Fourth Army unpleasantly? What is your opinion on Commander Yu? Li Wencheng said curiously.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yan Shi glanced left and right and said, "I still have a lot of respect for Commander Yu, but I really can't look down on the generals under him, they always like to boast that the Fourth Army is the strongest army in Hui'an Province. ”

"That's just as well." Li Wencheng nodded and said, "I have dealt with Zhang Fen of the Fourth Army before, and what he said is really uncomfortable. ”

"Yes, yes! The words that came out of that kid stinked like shit. Yan Shi agreed again and again.

Li Wencheng shook his head and smiled.

As they spoke, the two of them led their troops to the east gate, and there was a battalion of soldiers under the city gate, who didn't seem to know that the south gate had been missed, and they were very surprised to see a large number of Hui'an troops coming.

Yan Shi pulled out his long sword and said with a cruel smile: "Don't let one go!" ”

The battle ended in a quarter of an hour, and in the face of several times the enemy, the town navy only resisted for a moment before fleeing. Li Wencheng led people to the city, and there were fewer people on it, only more than 100 people, and all of them were quickly resolved.

He looked outside the city gate and did not find Meng Xiao's troops.

"General, should we just open the city gate?" A conductor next to Li Wencheng asked.

Li Wencheng's current official position is that of a deputy general.

"No need, raise the flag of Hui'an Mansion, you take your battalion of soldiers to garrison on the city wall, and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

Soon, the Wu Yue flag on the city wall was lowered and the emblem flag was raised. Li Wencheng descended the city wall and stationed at the gate of the city with Yan Shi.

After a while, soldiers came down from the walls.

"General Yan, General Li, Commander Meng is here." Soldier debriefs.

Li Wencheng and Yan Shi went up the city wall together, only to see a cavalry unit by the moat, and from a distance, it was indeed the Mongolian flag fluttering.

Yan Shi was about to give the order to lower the drawbridge, but Li Wencheng stretched out his hand to stop it, and shouted at the troops below: "Is it General Meng?" ”

"It's me." A deep voice sounded, and a general stepped out of the crowd, it was Meng Xiao.

Only then did Li Wencheng order the suspension bridge to be lowered.

After Meng Xiao entered the city, Yan Shi conveyed Lu Yuan's military order, asking him to lead the cavalry to meet at the palace.

"How's it going in the city?" Meng Xiao asked.

"The enemy army has retreated to the north of the city, and the fifth army has ordered the fifth army to sweep away the remaining enemy troops in the city, and he is leading the second and third armies to attack the palace." Li Wencheng said respectfully.

"Has the Fourth Army returned to Muzhou?"

"Yes."

Meng Xiao nodded and led the troops in the direction of the palace.

Halfway through, Wang Xin, his subordinate general, looked at the street scenery and said with some excitement: "Commander, we have even defeated Hangzhou, and the entire Wuyue Kingdom will be ours in the future." ”

Meng Xiao was also a little excited in his heart, but he suppressed his emotions in his heart, and said lightly: "It's not as easy as you think, from today onwards, Wu Yueguo will become a piece of fat, and Tang Guo and Qingyuan will come over to grab food." ”

"But Hangzhou was fought down by us!"

"So what?" Meng Xiao shook his head: "They won't care about this." ”

"Then you have to suggest to the festival marshal later, let's take the opportunity to occupy more land!"

Meng Xiao frowned and reprimanded: "You are still too short-sighted to think about things, don't think that you have already occupied it after the fight, our next focus should be on running Hangzhou." ”

"Isn't that going to attack other states?" Wang Xin was surprised.

"Of course we have to fight, but we will wait for Hangzhou to stabilize, and then judge according to the situation, such a simple truth, not to mention that the commander and other commanders can see it clearly, even Xiao Shilang of the Fourth Army should be able to think of it, you will learn more in the future."

"Yes." Wang Xin lowered his head a little.

He knew that his own commander had a competitive heart for Commander Yu, so he always liked to compare himself with Commander Yu's deputy, Xiao Shilang.

The key is that he always feels that he is not as good as that young man everywhere, which makes Wang Xin very unconvinced.

Not long after, the two came to the outside of the palace, where the Third Army and the Second Army were stationed, Meng Xiao turned over and dismounted, just in time to see his deputy commander Jin Yuanwu with a team of men and horses ready to leave.

"How's the palace going?" He asked.

"Commander Meng!" Jin Yuanwu saluted and said, "It's been defeated." ”

Meng Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"The enemy army has all fled from Hangzhou from the north gate, and the commander ordered me to take 3,000 people to the north gate to defend."

"Then you can go quickly."

Jin Yuanwu arched his hand to him and left with his troops.

General Meng Xiao stayed outside the palace and walked towards the palace alone, and along the way, there were Hui'an soldiers stationed everywhere.

He inquired with a soldier and learned that the marshal was in the Daqing Palace, where the Wu Yue Kingdom met the court.

Asking for directions, he walked on the palace corridor and headed towards the Daqing Palace.

Along the way, everywhere he looked, there were majestic palaces, which made him suppress the excitement a little bit of a little nervous, and he took a few deep breaths before pressing back.

As he was walking, a figure in white armor appeared in front of him, walking towards him.

After the man approached, Meng Xiao hurriedly surrendered his hand: "General Qin." ”

Qin Youyu smiled and returned the salute: "General Meng, are you going to see the festival marshal?" ”

"Yes."

"Marshal Jiejun has just issued a military order, let me convey it to all the generals, and General Meng, please listen to it too."

"General Qin, please speak."

"The commander has an order, all generals must restrain their subordinates, and must not disturb the people in the slightest, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!" Qin Youyu said solemnly.

"The last general commands."

"I still have to give orders to the other generals, so let's go first." Qin Youyu said with a smile and went in the direction where Meng Xiao came.

Meng Xiao watched her back and left, and then walked towards the Daqing Palace.

Not long after, he saw Hou Kaishan and Ma Kongming guarding outside a palace, and he thought that the palace was Daqing Palace.

After the report, he strode into the palace and saw Lu Yuan sitting on the steps of the throne platform.

"Marshal, the five thousand cavalry under the last general have been stationed outside the palace." Meng Xiao knelt on one knee and arched his hand.

"Is there any movement in the Wu Yue Forbidden Army?" Lu Yuan stood up from the steps and patted his buttocks.

"There has been no movement yet, but the subordinates have sent people to set up scouts along the way, and if they make any movement, the scouts will report immediately."

"Okay, hard work, there are currently 20,000 people stationed outside the palace, you go and gather these 20,000 people immediately and prepare for battle."

"The last general commands." Meng Xiao arched his hand and turned to leave.

After he left, Lu Yuan turned around, walked slowly around the main hall, went up the throne platform along the stairs, and walked to the dragon chair. He reached out and touched the armrest of the dragon chair, and a cold touch came over him.

What to do? He wondered if he would make himself king.

Ever since he came to this hall, he had the idea of being called king and emperor deep in his heart, and this thought came so suddenly, so strongly, so tempting, that it was irresistible.

Lu Yuan looked at the dragon chair silently, and unconsciously walked to the dragon chair, he was about to sit down, suddenly, Lu Yutong's face appeared in his mind, and then, the faces of Qin Youyu, Sun Shaoqing, and Su Liuying appeared one after another.

Shaking his head, he strode out of the Daqing Palace.

Now is not the time, he has come to this point in order to survive in troubled times and protect the people he cherishes, power is only his tool, not his purpose.
