Chapter 1374: Marching into Hangzhou

() "The Khitan is my mortal enemy of China, and I will want to get rid of it as soon as possible!" Li Zhongyi said a "big word" very proudly.

Li Zhongyi's "big words" are the truth. Objectively speaking, since Li Zhongyi led the troops, there has never been a single defeat, and it can be said that he is a victorious general.

Wang Danhua arched his hand and smiled: "My family is deployed, and I think the same as the emperor." The Khitan people are not my Chinese race, and their hearts will be different! ”

Li Zhongyi smiled and nodded, and said, "Then dare to be kind, I sincerely invite Qin Du to deploy and drink the Horse Wolf River together, how about it?" ”

The Khitan people's Shangjing Linhuang Mansion is located on the bank of the Wolf River, Wang Danhua is Qin Hanzheng's confidant, he naturally knows that the most important capital of the Khitan State is located.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, my family doesn't want to hurt the lord of the country. If the emperor agrees to this proposal, my family will deploy a way for the emperor's army to easily take the western capital of Hangzhou, and can easily pacify the entire Wuyue Kingdom. Wang Danhua's words provoked Li Zhongyi to chuckle.

Taking Hangzhou, Xifu, has long been an easy thing for Li Zhongyi. At present, what makes Li Zhongyi more troublesome is how to quickly pacify the entire Wu Yue Kingdom, so as not to delay the time for the eastward attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Since Qin and Han Zheng had a way to help the Qiang Han Dynasty, Li Zhongyi naturally had to listen to the truth and make plans according to the situation.

For Qian's family, Li Zhongyi originally planned to take them all to Kaifeng after taking Xifu and live a leisurely and happy life, which is not a big problem.

However, Qin Hanzheng attaches great importance to the safety of the Qian family, which shows that Qin Hanzheng is fundamentally different from ordinary people who betray their masters and seek glory.

Wang Danhua arched his hand and said: "In the early years, when the outer city of Xifu was built, the lord of the country left a secret way to escape. Unfortunately, my family happens to be the only outsider in the know......"

Li Zhongyi smiled frequently, and as expected, it was so. However, whether there is such a secret road, the fall of Hangzhou, Xifu, is a matter of time.

Now that Wang Danhua has revealed his tone, with the strength of the Li family's military engineer battalion, he will be able to find the exit of that secret passage in a few days.

"Your Majesty, most of the generals in today's Wu Yue Kingdom are deployed with my family. After taking Xifu, my family will deploy to personally go to various places to recruit surrenders, presumably there will be a great success......" Wang Danhua's words made Li Zhongyi completely understand.

Qin Hanzheng has made such a big effort, the plan must be not small, Li Zhongyi smiled and waited for Wang Danhua to make conditions.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, my family only wants to mention one condition, that is, he wants to follow the emperor to the north to conquer the Khitan Kingdom, and he would rather die on the battlefield than stay in a luxurious mansion." Wang Danhua would actually say this, but it was unexpected by Li Zhongyi.

According to Li Zhongyi's original idea, Qin Hanzheng would ask for the commander of the first army, right? Otherwise, why do you spend so much effort?

Since Qin Hanzheng's requirements were very low, Li Zhongyi generously said in line with the principle of equal pay and return: "Then you go back and tell your family to deploy, as long as you go through the study and training of the martial arts hall, there will be an army waiting for him to go to the Northern Expedition." ”

In the Li family's army, no matter what level of officer, they need to enter the lecture hall for further study before they can successfully take up their posts.

It's one thing for Li Zhongyi to like Qin Hanzheng's cheerfulness, but the rules in the army can't be broken lightly.

Wang Danhua originally felt that Qin Hanzheng's requirements were obviously too low, but now, since Li Zhongyi generously gave a promise, he just smiled and put it in his pocket.

Li Zhongyi valued Qin Hanzheng, not because of how many soldiers and horses he had, or because he could fight well, but because of Qin Hanzheng's qualifications in the Wuyue army, it was very likely that he would persuade the defenders everywhere to submit to the Qiang Han Dynasty.

After all, the main target of this southern expedition was the Southern Tang Dynasty, not the Wu Yue Kingdom.

Since the conditions of the two sides have been roughly negotiated, the atmosphere in the room is more harmonious.

"Prince, I don't know anything, and I ask the prince to give me advice." Li Zhongyi said very politely, and his posture was also very low, Wang Danhua was very comfortable, but he didn't dare to slack off, "Although the emperor said hello, the subordinates must know everything and say everything." ”

Li Zhongyi asked Wang Danhua with a smile: "The Qian family sits on the land of thirteen states, and they want money and food, and they have a lot of population, why don't they expand outward?" ”

The so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, Li Zhongyi really wants to get a very different answer from Wang Danhua's mouth.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, from the views of the ministers, the Qian family doesn't seem to have particularly lofty ambitions, and they are more than successful, but not enough to ......" Wang Danhua's explanation made Li Zhongyi have mixed feelings.

Since the ancestors of Wu Yueqian's family, they have always implemented the idea of governing the country by keeping the success, rather than the national policy of expanding the territory.

In the age of money, Qian himself's life is not very luxurious, but he still has no lofty ambitions.

Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "The word "prince's observance" is just right. ”

Wang Danhua smiled and waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister remembers that twenty years ago, when the Southern Tang Dynasty was in civil strife, our country had the opportunity to replace it, but unfortunately, a great opportunity was wasted. If the Southern Tang Dynasty is unified, there is a chance to compete with the dynasties in the north of the Yangtze River. ”

As soon as Li Zhongyi heard it, he knew that Wang Danhua was a person who was unwilling to be lonely, and he couldn't help but move slightly in his heart.

Now, under the command of Li Zhongyi, the talents of military generals can be said to be full of talents, but there is a lack of civil servants who can hold the cardinal position.

Li Zhongyi had the heart to accept Wang Danhua, so he naturally wanted to talk to him more, and the more he talked, the easier it was to grasp Wang Danhua's mentality.

At the end of the conversation, Li Zhongyi simply invited Wang Danhua to eat wine together, and everyone had a wine talk about the Central Plains, not drunk and not returning!

Unexpectedly, this Wang Danhua drank very well, and Li Zhongyi was already eighty percent drunk, so he poured it on the ground and didn't wake up.

Li Zhongyi ordered someone to carry Wang Danhua down, and then ordered: "After dinner, set off overnight and rush to Hangzhou, Xifu." ”

The Li family army has always been a forbidden team, and with Li Zhongyi's order, the entire army also moved.

After Wang Danhua woke up, the Li family's army was only more than five hours away from Hangzhou, the western capital.

"Your Majesty, you are really massive, and your subordinates are far behind!" As soon as Wang Danhua met, he bowed and saluted, showing great admiration in his demeanor.

Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, he was an old cadre who tested alcohol, and the so-called low-alcohol wine was drunk as a drink.

"Prince, this time I took advantage of your lack of rest, next time find a good time, how about fighting again?" Li Zhongyi really wanted to fight with Wang Danhua again.

It's been a long time since I came to this world, and with Li Zhongyi's drinking, I've never been drunk or drunk.

The so-called chess opponent will meet a good talent, Li Zhongyi feels that Wang Danhua's alcohol consumption should have room for further expansion.

When the army was marching, Wang Danhua stayed in Li Zhongyi's carriage, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Li Zhongyi didn't care about the march and battle at all, and the entire army of the Qiang Han Dynasty had been advancing in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, is there someone in charge of this march?" Wang Danhua asked Li Zhongyi curiously.

Li Zhongyi just finished handling the military and political documents at hand, and he couldn't help but explain with a smile: "Although our army does not have the duty of deployment, it has the command of the former enemy with the same effect. ”

Wang Danhua rolled his eyes, thought about it intently, and asked Li Zhongyi again: "If the enemy army is coming, how to deal with it?" ”

Li Zhongyi said calmly: "I have all commanded the former enemy to order it to be attacked, and I can sleep well after I finish." ”

The system of the Li family army is very different from any army of the same era, Wang Danhua followed Qin and Han Zheng to the north and south, and he has long been a frequent visitor in the army, so he is naturally curious about it.

"Your Majesty, you are indeed a lord who is willing to delegate power without doubt." Wang Danhua's praise is not very convincing, and it seems extraordinarily thin.

Li Zhongyi naturally won't go to his heart, Wang Danhua is familiar with the military practices of the feudal era, but the Li family army is organized according to the system of the modern army, how can it be compared?

After Li Jiajun set off from Xiuzhou, he rushed all the way to the suburbs of Hangzhou, Xifu, and when Qian learned the news, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately convened the prime ministers to discuss the matter.

The opinions of the prime ministers are still not unified, some advocate a simple surrender, some suggest that the citizens of Hangzhou be summoned to fight to the death, and many more maintain a terrible silence.

"The country left by the ancestors can't afford not to fight, so easily dedicate it to others, right?" Qian was on fire in his heart, and his tone of speech was fundamentally different from usual, and he seemed aggressive.

Prime Minister Xu Zaisi didn't want to speak, but helplessly, Qian stared at him vigorously, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, for today's plan, it is time to gather the township to be brave and strong, and first desperately defend the city, waiting for the Tang army to come to help." ”

Qian nodded secretly, Xu Zaisi was the prime minister he promoted after all, and what he said was naturally from Qian's position.

Prime Minister Yang Dong was originally the main descendant, but when he saw Xu Zaisi making a ruthless move, he simply closed his mouth and said nothing.

Qian also knew very well in his heart that Yang Dong's family property, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, belonged to a wealthy family, and he couldn't complain that he would spare his life.

Xu Zaisi is different, he has been the prime minister for a short time, but he is very honest as an official and does not have much wealth.

Qian has long figured it out, and at this time of crisis, it is not suitable to calculate small problems, and we must look at the overall situation.

Now, the biggest big picture is, how can we delay it until the rescue troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty arrive?

Objectively speaking, although the city of Hangzhou is tall and strong, compared with Xiuzhou, it is actually not too much.

Xiuzhou fell into the hands of Li Zhongyi within a few hours, and Qian is most worried now that Hangzhou will not be able to hold on for too long.
