At midnight, the battle on the main island of Zhoushan finally came to an end, and the battle that lasted for more than half a month began because the Tang Army's naval division defeated Wu Yue's Zhoushan Division, and the infantry led by Yu An was also divided and surrounded under the blow of Lin Renzhao, and was annihilated one by one. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The losses of the Tang army in this battle were mainly the Tang soldiers who died in the Zhoushan defensive battle, a full 2,500 people, and most of the remaining soldiers were wounded, of which more than 3,000 soldiers lost their combat effectiveness because of serious injuries.

The losses of the naval division led by Lin Renzhao were not large, and in the melee, only two or three battleships were unlucky, the ships were damaged, and some of the soldiers were affected and died on the battlefield, but compared to the benefits obtained, they were almost negligible. In this battle, the Tang Army's naval division captured more than 30 warships of the Wu and Yue Army's naval divisions and captured more than 3,000 soldiers, not to mention tens of thousands of grain and grass baggage.

As soon as the battle in Zhoushan ended, Yang Lian ordered the sailors to defend the main island, and the soldiers seized the time to rest, which was too stressful during this time. Yueya walked slowly in the sky, a personal soldier made double the strong tea for Yang Lian, who was still a little hot, Yang Lian took a sip of it, he was too sleepy, but the victory in Zhoushan only alleviated the crisis, the situation of the whole war still needs to be improved, Yang Lian did not dare to take it lightly.

Trapped in Zhoushan, Yang Lian didn't know much about the situation outside, Lin Renzhao had just arrived from Ryukyu, and he didn't know much about the battle situation in Changzhou, Shengsi Islands and Fu'an, Yu An wanted to know, but he committed suicide, Zhang Yun's whereabouts are unknown, and the Tang soldiers are still searching for him a few days ago.

Zhao Chengtai fled, this news will inevitably reach Hangzhou, Qian Hongyu's heart must be extremely shocked, for him, how to stop the Tang army's offensive is the most important, so he is likely to use Hangzhou's sailors. However, Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao disagree on this point.

Lin Renzhao thought that after the defeat of Wu Yue's naval division, the Zhoushan Islands became the Tang army's bag, Zhoushan was in the periphery of Mingzhou and Hangzhou, once Wu Yueguo lost Zhoushan, foreign trade was greatly affected, and Mingzhou, Xiuzhou and even the richest and most elite areas of Wu Yueguo in Hangzhou were threatened, so Qian Hongyu would definitely send sailors to recapture Zhoushan.

Yang Lian thought that Qian Hongyu had just been defeated, and the morale of the sailors had been greatly affected, and the best way for Wu Yuejun's sailors was to strengthen the defense of Hangzhou, so the remaining warships would definitely be deployed on the periphery of Hangzhou Bay to prevent the Tang army from attacking. Only by keeping Hangzhou, Qian Hongyu had a chance to counterattack, if Wu Yueguo won the battle of Changzhou, even if the Tang army captured Zhoushan, it would eventually have to retreat.

The argument between the two looks fierce, but it determines how this Tang army should act next, the two continue to analyze, always have their own reasons, and finally had to decide to garrison Zhoushan first, and at the same time attack with a naval division, first exterminate the few naval divisions in Mingzhou, as long as the control of the sea power, the Tang army can board Mingzhou at any time.

Late at night in Hangzhou, the soldiers were patrolling, the streets were almost empty, and the soldiers were walking and chatting. The war with the Tang Dynasty has lasted for more than three months, and the city of Changzhou has become a meat grinding machine, and I don't know how many soldiers of Wu Yueguo have died under the city of Changzhou.

Now, Cha Wenhui in the south has marched into Fu'an, and it is said that the Tang Army's naval division has also captured Zhoushan, which makes some soldiers feel that Wu Yueguo is under attack on all sides, and who knows how long it can last? The patrolling soldiers whispered, and suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the streets, from far and near.

A soldier is furious, who is so arrogant? Now that there was a curfew, there were still people who dared to ride horses in the streets, and he was about to curse, when an older soldier covered his mouth and said: "You don't want to live anymore, there is a rapid sound of horses' hooves at this time, it must be a messenger." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the iron horseman galloped from the front, and the messenger with a torch in his hand skillfully steered the war horse, and crossed the long street, the sound of the horse's hooves gradually became quieter, and disappeared again.

"Alas, I'm afraid Wu Yueguo won't be protected." The older soldier said, shaking his head with a worried look on his face.

"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?" The young man asked.

"You'll find out in a few days." The older soldier refused to speak, he glanced back at the direction in which the messenger had disappeared, and pursed his lips, at this time, the messenger came, I am afraid that the worst news.

The royal city of Wu Yue Kingdom is very gorgeously decorated, not worse than the imperial city, but the scale is smaller. At this time, Qian Hongli had fallen asleep, and he was in a state of uncertainty these days, there were wars everywhere, and the future was very uncertain, which made Qian Hongli very worried.

At the beginning, he chose to attack the Tang Dynasty, because he accepted the suggestion of Qian Wenfeng, the envoy of the Central Wu Jiedu, that the Tang army had the possibility of sending troops to the Great Zhou, and once the suzerainty of the Great Zhou was destroyed, the fate of Wu Yue Guo could be imagined. Therefore, when the Great Zhou was likely to be attacked by the Khitan, Hedong Liu Chong, and the Tang Dynasty, Qian Hongyu accepted Qian Wenfeng's suggestion and sent troops to Changzhou to contain the Tang army's troops.

Qian Hongli originally planned to attract and contain the Tang army's troops, and even a few small-scale battles were acceptable, but as the Tang army reinforces Changzhou, the scale of this battle escalated, and Qian Hongli had to increase his troops in Changzhou and expand the scale of the war.

The war has been fought for several months, tens of thousands of soldiers have been lost, and the consumption of money and food is very staggering. If there really is such a day, how can he Qian Hongyu be worthy of the ancestors of the Qian family?

After being restless for several days, Qian Hongyu finally fell asleep, and beside him, a young and beautiful woman was fanning him, the woman's name was Huang Ying, and she was Qian Hongyu's favorite concubine. Huang Ying looked at Qian Hongyu's haggard appearance and was very distressed.

When he was fanning the fan, a palace maid beckoned outside. Huang Ying was a little strange, put down the fan, stood up on tiptoe, and walked out.

"It's so late, what's the matter? Don't quarrel with the king. Huang Ying said.

The palace maid was a little scared, but still insisted: "Madam, the king has an order, if there is a war to be sent, you must tell him to know." Slaves, slaves, slaves, ......"

Huang Ying's face changed, and she hurriedly said, "What happened?" ”

"The slave and maid don't know, but the soldiers who came to deliver the message are waiting outside the palace." The palace maid said.

Huang Ying glanced back at Qian Hongyu, who was sleeping soundly, and hesitated for a long time, before saying, "Take the messenger to rest first." ”

"This ......," the palace maid hesitated.

"The king has just fallen asleep, wake him up at this time, aren't you afraid that the king will be angry and kill you?" Huang Ying whispered.

When the palace maid heard this, her face turned pale, and she had to nod her head and agree, and withdrew.

Huang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, tiptoed back again, lying on the soft step, Huang Ying thought a lot, after a stick of incense, her head tilted, or fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Qian Hongyu woke up, although he slept beautifully, but he had a good dream, he dreamed that Wu Yuejun won a great victory in Changzhou, Zhoushan was also recovered, Wu Yuejun took the opportunity to pursue, killed the Tang army and retreated, and finally, Tang Emperor Li Jing had to cut the land and sue for peace.

This is obviously a good dream, Qian Hongli thought it was a good sign, so after waking up, Qian Hongyu's face showed a smile that he hadn't seen for several days, and the whole person seemed much more relaxed. Huang Ying saw that the king was in a good mood, so she smiled and waited for Qian Hongyu to dress and wash.

The palace maid brought breakfast, Qian Hongyu ate more than usual, and while eating, she also asked Huang Ying to sit down and eat with him.

Huang Ying said cautiously: "King, a messenger arrived late yesterday night, and the concubine saw that the king was asleep, so she asked the messenger to rest first." ”

Qian Hongyu was taken aback, put down his chopsticks, and asked a little nervously, "What news did the messenger bring?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know, but it is said that the messenger brings good news." Huang Ying said cautiously.

When Qian Hongyu heard this, his heart gradually let go, and he drank an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast. After eating and drinking, Qian Hongyu immediately asked people to bring a messenger to the study to meet him. In the study, Qian Hongyu looked at the map and analyzed the situation, if it was really as he dreamed, Wu Yueguo won a great victory, then what land did he want to take? Although the geographical location of Changzhou is important, it is impossible for the Tang people to cut it off, otherwise Jinling will be exposed to the soldiers of Wu Yueguo, so Qian Hongyu feels that it is better to take the south, although Fuzhou, Jianzhou, and Jianzhou are barren, but they are in a good geographical environment, and the terrain is relatively dangerous, so they can be defended.

When Qian Hongyu was thinking, the messenger walked in under the leadership of the palace maid, the messenger could be said to be anxious, the king didn't see him yesterday, what could he do? This night, he barely closed his eyes, his eyes were red, he entered the study, and when he saw the king, he knelt down with a "poof", his voice was a little hoarse and weak, and said: "Weichen has seen the king." ”

"Don't be polite, get up and talk." Qian Hongyu said.

The messenger got up, took out a letter from his cuff, and handed it to the palace maid, who in turn handed it to Qian Hongyu.

"King, yesterday there was a battle between General Zhao and the Tang Army's Naval Division, and the Naval Division was almost wiped out." The messenger said.

Qian Hongyu nodded and said, "Good job, good job!" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, his eyes widened, and he looked at the messenger in disbelief, and said, "You, what did you say?" The lone sailor was almost wiped out? ”

The messenger nodded with difficulty, choked up in words, and said, "King, when Weichen arrived, the Tang army was besieging General Yu's headquarters in Zhoushan, I'm afraid it would ......."

The words were not finished, but Qian Hongyu already understood, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and quickly opened the letter and looked at it. The letter was written by Zhao Chengtai, in which Zhao Chengtai first confessed his guilt, and then told the situation of the Zhoushan naval battle in detail.

After Qian Hongyu finished reading the letter, his heart became very cold, he took two steps back a little weakly, and his strong body hit the bookcase, and a porcelain in the bookcase shook twice, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Qian Hongli was awakened by the sound, and when he came back to his senses, Qian Hongli gritted his teeth, the Battle of Zhoushan was actually lost, and this loss was too great. Now that the Tang army is likely to have occupied Zhoushan, how will Wu Yue respond? Will they send troops to attack Zhoushan or concentrate their forces to defend Hangzhou?

Qian Hongyu thought about it and summoned the ministers, everyone had their own opinions, some people said they wanted to attack, some people said they wanted to defend, and they all came up with their own reasons. Everyone argued, but Qian Hongyu never paid attention, and at this time, he suddenly remembered the benefits of Hu Jinsi.

Although Hu Jinsi is a little arrogant, after all, he is a veteran general on the battlefield and has rich combat experience, so he should be able to think of a good strategy. But in order to seize power, through Hu Qing's case, Hu Jinsi was forced to return to his hometown, and Qian Hongyu was able to take charge. Qian Hongyu thought about it and immediately sent someone to pick up Hu Jinsi, he wanted to know what he should do in the face of this crisis?

Zhoushan, after the Tang army repaired for several days, never received news from Hangzhou, Yang Lian and Lin Renzhao respectively led the naval division to attack, attacked Mingzhou, defeated the Mingzhou naval division in the first battle, burned two Wu Yue army warships, and captured a total of 30 warships of various sizes.

The sea control in Mingzhou and Zhoushan fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Lian immediately waved his army north to attack the Shengsi Islands, the last base of the Wuyue people in the Zhoushan Islands. In the Northern Boundary Mountain, Shao Keqian and Zhao Chengtai have met, and the two are worried about this faux pas.

There is no news from Yu An so far, and with his character, I am afraid that he has sacrificed his life for the country. Both of them believe that the current situation is very dangerous, and the king did not send troops to help, it is very likely that he has given up control of the Zhoushan Islands, and now the Wu Yue naval division stationed in the Shengsi Islands is less than 20 ships, and such strength is obviously unable to confront the Tang army.

However, if you give up the Shengsi Islands, it will be very difficult to recapture them in the future, Shao Keqian's opinion is to hold on, and Zhao Chengtai has been frightened in the first battle of Zhoushan, how many warships he has a few days ago, or was defeated by the Tang Army, and now there are less than 20 main warships in the Shengsi Islands, how can it be the opponent of the Tang Army's naval division?

Zhao Chengtai decided to retreat, in this way, Shao Keqian's strength was weakened again, seeing that Zhao Chengtai had made up his mind, Shao Keqian had to accept this fact, after learning that the Mingzhou Navy Division was annihilated, Shao Keqian finally made up his mind, after cleaning up the soft, in the middle of the night, Shao Keqian also retreated.

The Tang Army's naval divisions led by Fang Jinzhao did not notice Shao Keqian's abnormal movements, and were able to let him retreat to Hangzhou smoothly. When they found out the next day, the North Boundary Mountain was already empty, and the Runzhou Army was the first to act, they rushed to the North Boundary Mountain, and after landing on the island, they killed and robbed money, and the North Boundary Mountain was almost washed away in blood.

The Guangling Army and the Jing Navy got the news, and they also rushed immediately, because they came late, they didn't rob much property, they saw the wealth that the state army robbed, under the leadership of the various armies, a conflict broke out, the soldiers on both sides fought in the northern boundary mountain, each paid more than a dozen casualties, and when Fang Jinzhao got the news, it was too late, he hurriedly took the Jinling Sailor and Haizhou Sailor to the island, looking at the situation of the melee, he felt very powerless.

Fang Jinzhao ordered again and again, asking all armies not to fight, what can be done to sit down and talk, but the armies have already suffered casualties, they are red-eyed, they don't listen to Fang Jinzhao's orders at all, they still fight to the death, and even affect Fang Jinzhao and others, forced to helpless, Fang Jinzhao had to board the battleship, looking at the chaotic northern boundary mountain, Fang Jinzhao stomped his feet.
