Zhang Shuye had already formulated a battle plan to recover Hangzhou, but what he was most worried about was how to face the counterattack of the thieves after recovering Hangzhou. If you can't withstand Fang La's counterattack, how can the 30,000 soldiers be lower than the thieves' counterattack, you must know that it is known as one million, once the city is besieged, even if you don't fight Hangzhou City, you will be trapped to death.

In the face of Liu Zhenglong's aggressive questioning, Uncle Zhang was embarrassed to hide it anymore, and he said helplessly: "Yes, I have a way to take Hangzhou, but, as you know, Hangzhou is just a lonely city when it is recovered, and it will be trapped to death." ”

Liu Zhenglong showed a treacherous smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "This question is too simple, as long as Hangzhou is recovered, I am sure that Fang La's thieves will stay away from Hangzhou, and they dare not come to besiege the city, even if it is really besieged, I have a way to repel it." ”

Zhang Shuye is the prefect of Zhengliupin, the level is higher than Liu Zhenglong, it is only necessary to respect this protégé of the Son of Heaven, it does not mean that his heart will be convinced, in the face of this young man's words, he is very dissatisfied, but he just did not have a seizure.

Liu Zhenglong saw Zhang Shuye's dissatisfaction, and he said coldly: "This protégé of my son of heaven is not because he wrote a good article, nor because he was a sycophant, but because he captured Fang La's nephew Fang Jie alive. Fang La is known as a million thieves, but this is a group of rabble, when the victory, the team is getting bigger and bigger, but there is no restraint on these thieves, military discipline is sloppy, and it is becoming more and more chaotic. Once defeated, it will definitely fall apart, and it will not become a climate. ”

Obviously, it is not three or two sentences that can convince Zhang Shuye, Liu Zhenglong opened the map and said: "There are 50,000 thieves in Qingxi, Muzhou, two hundred miles away from Hangzhou Mansion, there is Fang La's lair, I only have 800 Longxiang troops under my command, plus 200 sailors, I will take Muzhou within ten days, and I promise to ensure that Muzhou will not be lost before you take Hangzhou." Do you think Fang La will go all out to grab Hangzhou, or take Muzhou to maintain the overall situation? ”

At this time, Uncle Zhang was not confused at night, if Fang La couldn't take Muzhou, the impact on the rebels would be self-evident, and that kind of blow made Fang La recapture Muzhou even if he didn't want Hangzhou.

Zhang Shuye pondered for a moment and then said: "The one who guards Muzhou is Shi Bao, the general of Nanli, the third of the eight heavenly kings under Fang La, which shows how much Fang La attaches importance to Muzhou, not to mention whether your thousand soldiers can take Muzhou, even if they do, can they withstand the rebel counterattack?" ”

"Have you ever seen a tiger scared of a pack of feral cats?" The confidence on Liu Zhenglong's face came from the heart, and he said unhurriedly: "I can hold Muzhou, and I guarantee that Fang La will not be able to take it within three years, but I don't know if you Governor Zhang has the courage to take Hangzhou." ”

"Okay, then let's send our own troops, my Uncle Zhang is not greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as the above is not difficult, I will definitely take Hangzhou." Zhang Shuye finally made up his mind, he looked at Liu Zhenglong and said: "If you can take Muzhou and keep it, it means that you are definitely not a thing in the pool, and I, Uncle Zhang, can be regarded as a friend of yours." ”

"Let the facts prove themselves."

Liu Zhenglong now has only 1,000 people under his command, but he has absolutely no ability to attack Hangzhou, he has self-knowledge, so he aims at Muzhou. Before going to Suzhou to meet Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, Liu Zhenglong had already sent Yang Zhi, Bao Xu and others to Muzhou, and after he persuaded Zhang Shuye to send troops, he was ready to go to Muzhou.

The next day, Liu Zhenglong visited Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and he said: "Your Highness, Hangzhou will be conquered within a month, maybe in less time." You can also rest assured that you can go back to the capital, and Fan Zhixu, the minister of the political affairs hall, is also ready to leave for Hangzhou, you sort out the relationship between the gang and the gang, so that Zhang Shuye has enough energy to recover Hangzhou, and don't be bound by other factors Zhang Shuye's hands and feet. ”

Of course, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, understood what the so-called other factors meant, and he said with a smile: "General Pan Jing can ensure that the supply of grain and grass will definitely not be affected during the war. As for the relationship in all aspects, the Lone King will arrange it, this time the Lone King went to Jiangnan with Shang Fang's sword, and the one who didn't have long eyes dared to drag his feet, and the Lone King cut off his head. ”

"Lord Wang, it's not to cut off your head after the accident, but to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger in advance, or to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, only in this way can you ensure that Uncle Zhang's recovery of Hangzhou is not hindered."

"Okay, the Lone King will do it, tonight, I will set up a banquet for you, and by the way, I will introduce Zhu Mian to you, as for how you use this Southeast King, that is your own ability, and the Lone King can't control it."

Yun Wang Zhao Kai only wants to lead the recovery of Hangzhou, evaluate the merits of Fang La, not like staying in Suzhou, to win the heir must stay in the capital, he knows that the emperor's brother occupies the general trend, but if you want to go against the sky, you still need to win the favor of your father, participating in the imperial examination to win the champion is one step, and recovering Hangzhou is another step.

During this time, Zhu Mian's nervousness had long passed, before he was hugging the thigh of the crown prince Zhao Huan, and he was walking the line of Taishi Cai Jing, Li Bangyan, and Tong Guan, but the crisis was everywhere, and there was constantly unfavorable news in the court. Now that King Yun Zhao Kai is here, this guy is ready to change the court.

Yun Wang Zhao Kai knew that Zhu Mian was going to be arrested sooner or later, and now it is of course okay to deal with it falsely, and this banquet is to paralyze Zhu Mian.

Zhu Mian has always felt that the young prince of King Yun is so foolish, and as for Liu Zhenglong, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, it is said that he is even more greedy for money and lustful, so when they met for the first time, he prepared a sufficient gift, and he also believed that this heavy gift could impress the other party.

When Liu Zhenglong saw Zhu Mian for the first time, he knew that this treacherous and cunning old fox was not easy to deal with, and that cunning was definitely not under Liang Shicheng, and it could be said that it was even better. However, such a person has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, they are too arrogant, their eyes are above the top, and they will not take the other party weaker than themselves in their eyes.

Lowering his figure, Liu Zhenglong looked very low, he took the initiative to greet Zhu Mian, said hello, and directly patted the other party's fart, but his words also revealed his youthful frivolity.

Zhu Mian looked at this handsome guy who made men jealous, and he said to Liu Zhenglong: "Lord Liu is young and promising, and you, the protégé of the Son of Heaven, make all the students in the world jealous!" ”

"Master Zhu, you just won the official Kaishabu, I just caught Fang Jie, the thief, by mistake, and was accepted by the official family as a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and there is not much ink in my stomach. Before I came to Suzhou, I heard that you, the king of the southeast, had a good reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, and today I saw it really extraordinary. ”

Hearing Liu Zhenglong mention the three words of the King of the Southeast, Zhu Mian already knew that this little fox was going to extort bamboo poles, but it was okay to do this, once he received his heavy gift, it would be difficult to get off the boat.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Zhenglong, who was drunk and hazy, said to Zhu Mian: "Lord Zhu, this time the lower official is going to Muzhou, you know, the lower official only has 1,000 soldiers, and there are 50,000 thieves in Muzhou, it is definitely an egg to hit the stone, and I hope that Lord Zhu can help, say hello to those local officials, and let them try to cooperate with the action of the lower official." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's all for the purpose of exterminating the traitors, and Zhu will definitely spare no effort." Zhu Mian lowered his voice and said: "There is a carriage with a blue curtain on the left side of the gate outside the house, after you go out, get into the carriage and take you to a mansion, which is a gift from the old man and me to make you a friend, I hope the virtuous brother will like it." ”

"Then the lower official will be disrespectful."

Liu Zhenglong secretly scolded Zhu Mian in his heart for being an old fox, this kind of gift is directly sent to the house, a woman, to put it bluntly, is to control and monitor herself, but if you don't accept this generous gift, you will be suspicious.

On this night, the four beauties were in the same room, sleeping together, and it can be said that the spring is infinite and happy.

Zhu Mian didn't send someone to monitor deliberately, after all, the four beauties were all sent to monitor Liu Zhenglong, and sending additional people to monitor would cause unnecessary trouble. After listening to the housekeeper's report the next day, he said with a smile: "Young people are greedy for money and lustful, and they can't make big things, no matter what, people don't be romantic, this Liu Zhenglong is so merry and happy, ask for money for money, ask women for women, in a word, monitor this protégé of the Son of Heaven." ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Mian decided not to listen to his father, but to manage Jiangnan well, the most important premise is to quell the rebellion, and only by assessing the Fangla Rebellion can he stabilize his position. After making up his mind, Zhu Mian sent his four righteous sons to act separately, and the first step was to help Liu Zhenglong take Muzhou.

On the way out of Suzhou, Yan Shun said to Liu Zhenglong: "My lord, you didn't have a good rest last night, why do you look unenergetic?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to take Muzhou." Liu Zhenglong thought that the four beauties were in his arms, and he could rest well before he could live the hell, but he couldn't say this to the outside world, he said with a smile: "Bao Xu and they all entered Muzhou in disguise, so we will turn around and enter Muzhou with great fanfare to see what is different about this Muzhou guarded by Shibao." ”

After Yan Shun glanced back at Liang Hongyu, he said with a wicked smile: "My lord, you should be playing with the United States, of course, you have to make a big splash, you can rest assured that I will arrange all this." ”

Liang Hongyu doesn't know why these guys always talk about themselves, but the big beauty she said is beautiful in her heart, she doesn't know why Liu Zhenglong said that she would have to wait for two years, but she can't take the initiative to untie her clothes as a girl, and there is no result from taking the initiative last time, after all, this matter is ultimately decided by men.
