Fang Sheng bumped into Zhao Hao's muzzle blindly, of course he would not let go of this opportunity, but the board was raised high but fell gently, and he wrote it down for the time being on the grounds that he had broken his ass and couldn't ride a horse, and he would settle the account afterwards. But even so, his action of drawing the knife also scared the generals a lot, everyone knows the temper of the little emperor, if he really wants to touch the bottom line, he will really slaughter you with his own hands.

It was getting dark, and Zhao Yu ordered to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield and count the captures and losses, but ordered the Third Brigade to immediately gather its troops and prepare for departure. Then the generals returned to Yongsiling to discuss the matter, and Lin Zhiwu first reported the latest information:

Dong Yicheng's troops have launched an attack on Liujiagang, defeated the Yuan army's 1,000 households belonging to the 10,000 households of the 10,000 households that transported grain by seaway, and captured more than 500 ships of more than 1,000 stones, and 1,000 ships of 500 stones, but the grain hoarded here was waiting to be transported to Dadu from as much as 2 million stones, and now they have transferred the ships and grain to the waters of Taihu Lake through the Taicang River for several days, but the remaining grain of about 500,000 stones cannot be transported away, so in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy again, they can only set fire to it.

At present, the Yuan army Zhending Wanhu Army and the Longwan Naval Army stationed in Jiankang have gone out of the city to Taihu Lake to attack, and Lu Xiufu's army also went to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and sent Liu Zhu to lead a naval army to intercept it, so that Zhao Mengjin led the first and second divisions to wait for the opportunity to attack Jiangyin and capture Jiankang. He led the 3rd and 4th Divisions to capture Suzhou, Wuxi, Changshu and Kunshan, and cooperated with the defenders to complete the siege of Hangzhou.

In addition, after receiving the order, Xie Fangde led the army of Fujian, Jiangxi, and Huaien to capture Jianning Mansion and was advancing in the direction of Ezhou. Xie Ao led the Minguang Weisheng Army and Jiang Zhu led the Zhangxia Xiongsheng Army to attack Zhangzhou, and the Guangnan Huaide Army led by Lin Guifang captured Chaozhou, and the two armies went northeast to prepare to take Quanzhou. Ying Xi commanded the Huaiyong army of Liangzhejiang to join up with the Ping navy under the command of Li De and Ou Zhen, captured Fenghua, and was developing in the direction of Mingzhou.

Another piece of news was not very good, the Yingzhou army, which had set out from the Wuwei army, suddenly accelerated, marched for two days and nights through Minling Pass and Dazhuling, and entered Hangzhou Road. And Zhao Yu originally planned to annihilate the Shangdu Army and the Yidu Army, and then rush to Minling Pass to set up an ambush to clean up the Yingzhou Army, but now he passed first, making this battle plan fail.

"Where is the Yingzhou Army?" Zhao Yu looked at the map and said to everyone. The Yingzhou army took the Zhejiang-Anhui Road, which had a road leading to Lin'an, Yuqian, and the Tang Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was an important post road, and it was also a business and travel avenue leading to the capital of Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and other places. Yuling Pass is located at the junction of Anhui and Zhejiang at the top of Yuling, Shezhou, which is an important pass on this traffic artery and passing through the mountainous area, and its geographical location is very important, and it is also the ambush point he chose earlier.

"Your Majesty, according to intelligence, the Yingzhou army came to Dazhuling and rested for a day, and then came along the road to Changhua!" Lin Zhiwu reported.

"Well, they have already traveled more than half of their journey, and they are still two hundred miles away from Hangzhou." Zhao Yu estimated the next words.

"Your Majesty, after passing through Changhua, you will sneak to Lin'an County, there is no danger on the way, but it is not easy to catch them." Ma Tingluan said that he has lived in Hangzhou for many years, so he naturally knows the surrounding areas.

"Your Majesty, since the fighter plane has been lost, let's take Shaoxing Mansion first, and then find another opportunity to fight the Yingzhou army." Chen Zhong said softly.

"If they are let go of Lin'an County, they will enter the city of Hangzhou, so that the city defense will be strengthened, if it is a big fight, it will ruin the prosperity here, not to mention, it will also cause a large number of casualties among the people, which is not conducive to our later efforts to win people's hearts." Zhao Yu thought about it and said, "If we look for an opportunity to destroy the enemy outside the city, it is easy to fight into a crushing battle, or they simply avoid the battle and leave, so that we have to divide our troops to pursue, but we will be led by the nose." ”

"Your Majesty, if we can reach Changhua, we can intercept the Yingzhou army, where there are two rivers, Zixi and Tianmu Creek, which intersect to form a triangle, if we use this as a battlefield to restrict the enemy's movements, as long as we drive them into this pocket, we will be able to annihilate them all here." Ni Liang stood up and nodded on the map.

"Ni Dutong, don't laugh." Lin Zhiwu smiled and said, "Now the Yingzhou army is less than 100 miles away from Changhua, and it only takes four days for a normal march to enter Hangzhou. When our army went to Changhua, we had to capture Shaoxing Mansion first, and then Qiantang and then turn to Hangzhou before we could go to Changhua on the Zhejiang-Anhui Post Road, but I was afraid that it had already arrived in Hangzhou at this time; Even if the Yingzhou army is delayed, the two armies will only encounter each other on the way. ”

"Not necessarily!" Ni Liang heard it but didn't buy it, glared at Lin Zhiwu and said.

"Your Majesty, look at ......" Lin Zhiwu knew that Ni Liang was a strong seed, and it was difficult for anyone else to convince him unless he was the little emperor.

"Hehe, it's okay to let him talk about it!" Zhao Yu waved his hand to stop Lin Zhiwu and said with a smile.

"I don't take the main road, but take a straight line to cross the Puyang River and the Fuchun River diagonally to Changhua, so that you can walk less, and you can also avoid the states and counties on the way, which can save a lot of time." Ni Liang retorted.

"The brigade marched, and we have to cross two big rivers, march continuously for two hundred miles, and we have just gone through the big battle and have not yet rested, can we reach Changhua in front of the Yingzhou army?" Ma Tingluan also questioned.

"The Yingzhou Army is a newly formed Han army with 10,000 households, with only 7,000 troops, and all of them are infantry troops. And they marched continuously for many days, and after just two days of rapid marching, they must have been sleepy and tired, and their speed would not be too fast, and it would be difficult to reach Changhua within two days. Ni Liang analyzed.

"If our army avoids the main road and travels between the mountains and rivers, and the road is unfamiliar, I am afraid that it will not be possible to arrive in two days!" Xu Zongren was also skeptical.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget that the climate and terrain of Qiongzhou are more complex and changeable than here, and the officers and soldiers of the guards can walk on the ground as if they were on the ground, and they can march up to 150 miles on foot in one day, it is not impossible to complete, I am willing to make a military order, personally lead a brigade of soldiers and horses to go, and if you let go of the Yingzhou army, you are willing to military law." Seeing that everyone doubted his judgment, Ni Liang said a little angrily.

"Ni Liang, there is no joke in the army, you have to think about it." Zhao Yu looked at Ni Liang and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have thought about it." Ni nodded brightly.

"Well, how many people do you need, and what else do you need?" Zhao Yu knew that Ni Liang never spoke falsely, and he would not agree to what he couldn't do, so he nodded.

"Your Majesty, it's enough for me to bring only one brigade, I only need to replenish ammunition and five days' provisions, and I don't need anything else!" Ni Liang thought for a while and said.

"The three brigades have been defending the two flanks, with almost no loss of troops, and their physical strength remains intact, so Sun Jin will form a task force with your brigade as the main force. In addition, you will be given a command for the reinforced cavalry and a command for the baggage, and six detachments of the 1st and 2nd Brigades will be transferred to form a fire support battalion to assist the 3rd Brigade in the battle. Zhao Yu chuckled.

"Yes, the last will obey." Sun Jin got up and ordered.

"Fang Sheng, strengthen the cavalry of the third brigade, and the mount is best with a wide horse, which is more suitable for mountain combat than the Mongolian horse." Zhao Yu pointed at Fang Shengdao.

"The last general obeys!" Fang Sheng stood up and saluted.

"The baggage battalion should be equipped with more mules and horses, and carry equipment for erecting pontoon bridges; Grain is mainly cooked food and dry food that is easy to carry, except for weapons, ammunition, drinking water, and food, all other items are lightly armed, and the individual heavy infantry shall not exceed 30 catties, and the artillery shall not exceed 40 catties. Zhao Yu instructed Lin Zhiwu again. He knew very well that there was no light load on a long march, and that an extra pound might eventually crush a well-trained soldier.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Zhiwu replied.

"What are you still doing in a daze, go and prepare!" Zhao Yu pointed to Chen Dundao, who was standing on the side.

"Prepare what?" Chen Dun asked with a confused expression.

"Ready to go!" Zhao Hao yelled at him again.

"Your Majesty is going to Changhua?" Without waiting for Chen Dun to reply, Ma Tingluan asked first.

"yes, what's wrong?" Zhao Yu nodded. But he didn't expect to stab the hornet's nest this time, this time only three old men got themselves done, they sometimes reasoned like a spring breeze, sometimes cried like a mourner, and sometimes bitterly quoted scriptures and classics...... By the time he finished the fight, Ni Liang had already led the army to set off......

Although the sudden change broke Zhao Hao's original battle plan, he decided to keep the plan of capturing Shaoxing unchanged, but it was difficult to complete the aftermath, so he could only postpone the time to the next day, so that the officers and men of the 1st and 2nd brigades could rest and recuperate. In addition, there are a large number of corpses to be disposed of, otherwise the weather will definitely cause a plague, and of course there are more than 2,000 captives available at this time, and this difficult task will be taken on by them.

The next day, after breakfast, Zhao Yu said goodbye to his ancestors, leaving a command of the Tomb Guard, Lin Zhiwu led the first brigade and the cavalry brigade to go by land, Zhao Yu and the second brigade went north by boat, and the two armies marched together to Shaoxing Mansion.

The fleet went out of the Yuhe River and into the canal, and Zhao Yu stood at the bow of the ship and looked around, because the Yuan army was worried that they would go north along the canal, and they had already closed the channel in order to keep the waterway open. As a result, the once busy canal became extremely depressed, there were few ships sailing on the river, and there were few people on the wharves on both sides.

In fact, Shaoxing Mansion has an indissoluble bond with the Southern Song Dynasty. It followed the Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Huiji County in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Yuezhou in the Tang, Five Dynasties, and Northern Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty moved south. Jianyan four years Gaozong stationed in Yuezhou, the following year changed the Yuan Shaoxing, with the meaning of "Shao Zuo Zhongxing", promoted in Yuezhou as the capital, known as "Shen Tokyo Xing Shaoxing". Since then, Shaoxing Mansion has become the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty and the imperial mausoleum area, and it is also the residence of the royal family, and there is a sect, and the capture of Shaoxing also has a great political influence.

The mausoleum area and the place of Shaoxing Mansion are only more than 30 miles, and there is no enemy to engage in battle along the way, and the army has not reached the city at noon. Zhao Yu looked at the city and compared it with his own capital in Qiongzhou, of course, there was only a sigh. Shaoxing City was founded in the first country of Yue, Jujian seven years Fan Li began to build Jujian City, Tuesday 223 steps, four land gates, one water gate. Soon build a big city in the east of the small city, commonly known as Licheng, the big city is twenty miles and seventy-two steps around the city, and do not build the north. There are three land gates, three water gates, and the northwest. During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, the Yue Gong Yang Suxiu County was a big city, known as Luocheng in history, with twenty-four miles around and two hundred and fifty steps. In the sixteenth year of Song Jiading, the county guard Wang Gang re-established the governance, and repaired the city gates, with a total of nine gates.

Shaoxing city wall is also the Yuan Dynasty pacification of the south of the Yangtze River after the demolition of the city movement in the lucky one, the city wall to preserve, Zhao Yu thought that there is a big battle to enter the city, did not expect the infantry army just arrived under the city, the navy into the mirror lake forced to the city, Zhao Yu to the city to look, only to see the Yuan army banner, but not to see the activities of the soldiers, he also thought that people in the old deployment of suspicious soldiers, suddenly the south gate opened, a group of people shouted to dedicate the city, to welcome the king into the city.

It was the first time that Zhao Yu had encountered such a situation of voluntary surrender, and he did not dare to carelessly send Chen Zhongwei ashore to investigate, and he would soon be rewarded. It turned out that the remnants of the bald army were defeated and returned to the city yesterday, and people were panicked for a while. Previously, I only heard that the old dynasty sent an envoy to pay homage to the mausoleum, and the Yuan army sent a large army to encircle and suppress, but no one believed that the Song army could win, thinking that it would not take much time to pacify, but I didn't expect that the Yuan army was almost wiped out. After Balman entered the city, he immediately closed all the city gates, and ordered Ding Zhuang to be recruited to defend the city in case the Song army came to attack the city.

This morning, the scouts sent by Balman found that the Song army was coming, but they did not dare to engage in the battle again, and led the remnants of the army to flee to Hangzhou. At this time, the town defenders in Huiji City had already been transferred to attack the Song army, and there were no soldiers available, and they abandoned the city again. Thinking about it, a group of people from the government thought about it, pointing to the officials and Ding Zhuang, who had just been summoned to defend the city, I was afraid that they would not last long, so they quickly packed up some soft and ran away.

There was no owner in the city for a while, and everyone thought that even if it was the king who came, but they had already become obedient people, and if they didn't get it right, they would be slaughtered as a rebel, but the king said that they would arrive, and they had nowhere to go, even if they wanted to leave, they still had a lot of furniture to take away. So he recommended the famous men and elders in the city, and gathered some property to come to contact the city, and at this time the emperor of the old dynasty was here, and he was even more panicked.

The soldiers did not take the city lightly, Zhao Yu was naturally not happy, Lin Zhiwu led a brigade into the city, occupied the key points, and controlled the city gate and the government office. As the accompanying capital of the Song Dynasty, there must have been many old and young people who were interested in the previous dynasty, and when they learned that the emperor was there in person, they immediately organized people to pad the road with loess in accordance with the old practice, splash the street with clean water, and change into the old clothes to come to greet them.

When everything was arranged, Zhao Yu rolled out the guard of honor and entered the city under the escort of the army, but when he saw that the people on both sides of the road were kneeling and shouting long live, the scene was also warm, and he also enjoyed the welcome of the pot pulp for the first time. Whether he is afraid of his own swordsmen and soldiers, or sincerely welcomes the return of Wang Shi, he can't open the killing ring, but orders to go out first to calm the people, strictly enforce military discipline, not to harass the people, merchants, forcibly occupy houses, buy and sell fairly, can not be forced to buy and sell, etc., violators will be sentenced to death.

At the same time, Zhao Yu ordered the city gate to be temporarily closed, imposed a curfew, and allocated troops to strengthen the city defense, counted the materials of the warehouse, arrested the hidden puppet officials, raised grain and grass, and issued an edict to the prefectures and counties under his control, ordering them to surrender the city as soon as possible to avoid being fired......
