The Tang army of Zhou Zongbu was north of Hangzhou, and Yang Lian occupied Yuhang, and at the same time, the waterway was firmly controlled by Lin Renzhao, except for the road to the west, the city of Hangzhou was almost firmly besieged by the Tang army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Yang Lian entered Yuhang, he did not rush to move troops, but appeased the people and repaired the city wall, as if he was not here to attack but to defend the city. In this regard, Zhou Zong was very depressed, and he could only send troops to rob everywhere, continuing to disturb the people, and hundreds of people were killed every day.

Qian Hongyu still did not open the city gates, and these people had no choice but to flee to the west. Zhou Hongzuo led his troops to cover up the killing, and the people were either killed, or fell into the Qiantang River and drowned.

After this situation lasted for several days, and I didn't know who spread the news, the people rushed to Yuhang, hoping that Yang Lian could shelter them.

"These people are all fleeing, but are there any people sent by Qian Hongyu to make trouble?" Yang Lian stood at the head of the city, staring out of the city, and there were about 500 people outside the city, crying pitifully.

"Yang Jiedu, although these people are pitiful, it may be Qian Hongyu's conspiracy, Yu Hangcheng has finally stabilized, and Qian's spies are definitely not allowed, otherwise this Yu Hangcheng will definitely be panicked." Zhu Qi said.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Although this is the case, if you want to completely pacify Wu Yue, you must win the hearts of the people." ”

Zhu Qi smiled bitterly, he was born in poverty, and he was full of sympathy for these people, but he also knew that in front of the country's plan, the people of Wu Yue Kingdom were like a grain of sand, insignificant. If something happens, Yang Jiedu probably won't be able to afford it, let alone him.

"It's better to be like this, there is a piece of land in the east of Yuhang City, which is quite open, I will give you 500 soldiers and horses, build a simple camp in the east of the city, place these people in it, and only give rice porridge every day. If they were a true people, they would have accepted this request, and if not, nine times out of ten they would not be able to endure such suffering. Yang Lian thought for a while and said.

Zhu Qi said with a smile: "Yang Jiedu's plan is very good, so I will do it if I am humble." With that, he hurried away.

Zhu Qi led the troops to the city, the hermit people to the east, after an afternoon of hard work, a simple camp was established, outside the camp, there were also several guard towers, there is a certain defensive capability, even if the Zhou Sect comes, Yang Lian has enough time to react.

On the same day, these people drank rice porridge, for this kind of life, a small number of people are not used to it, Wu Yueguo is located in the south of the Yangtze River water town, compared to the north, the food is sufficient, and close to the sea, you can fish, all of a sudden can only drink rice porridge, suddenly feel difficult to swallow.

Yang Lian secretly sent people to monitor and observe the situation of the people.

In the city of Hangzhou, Qian Hongyu was pacing in the study, he was really unstable, the Tang army pressed the border, although Hangzhou was not attacked because of various problems, but Hangzhou was besieged, coupled with Zhou Zong's massacre around Hangzhou, the situation in Hangzhou has deteriorated again. Even if the ministers offered advice one after another, believing that Wu Yue would definitely be able to hold Hangzhou, as long as Zhou Zong and Yang Lian had a conflict, Wu Yue would be able to counterattack and recover the country.

"Your Majesty, the news has arrived!" Yuan Dezhao walked in quickly.

"Prime Minister Yuan, how is Yang Lian?" Qian Hongyu asked, his heart tightened, among those people, there were indeed a small number of them sent by him. After observing during this period of time, he found that Yang Lian was completely different from Zhou Zong, who burned, killed and robbed the land of Wuyue, and did all kinds of evil. However, although Yang Lian fought a vicious battle, he did not kill the people much, and even when he captured Mingzhou, he also took out the grain from the treasury to help the people.

These days, Yang Lian actively bought the hearts of the people in Yuhang, which made Qian Hongyu firmly believe in his own judgment, so he secretly sent elite troops to blend in with the people, hoping that the soldiers could fish in troubled waters and disrupt Yang Lian's deployment.

Yuan Dezhao shook his head and said, "King, Yang Lian is very vigilant, the people he has taken in these days have all been placed outside the city, and there are soldiers guarding them. It's hard to fish in troubled waters. ”

"Well, this time it was also a temptation!" Although Qian Hongyu said this, he felt very sorry in his heart, and there was a disappointed expression on his face.

Yuan Dezhao said: "Great King, in the opinion of Wei Chen, although the spies of our army have not succeeded, I am afraid that Zhou Zong's spies will not be willing to be lonely." ”

"You mean, Zhou Zong also wants to plot against Yang Lian?" Qian Hongyu was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Weichen just thinks it's possible." Yuan Dezhao said.

Qian Hongyu sighed, and had to nod, it seemed that it could only be so.

"Damn, Yang Lian didn't let them into the city." In Zhou Zong's big tent, Zhou Hongzuo said hatefully.

Zhou Zong stroked his beard and said, "General Zhou doesn't have to worry, having said that, this is just a temptation, with Yang Lian's personality, he will inevitably think of the disadvantages of letting these people into the city." ”

"But in this way, Zhou Situ's plan can't be implemented!" Zhou Hongzuo was depressed, sighing, and his face was very disappointed.

"Don't worry about this, the old man has already written a letter, you can take a look first, what do you think?" Zhou Zong took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to the soldiers beside him, who in turn handed it to Zhou Hongzuo.

Zhou Hongzuo put down the wine glass, opened the letter and looked at it, nodded again and again, and said, "Zhou Situ has a clever plan." ”

Zhou Zong smiled and ordered his soldiers to send the letter to Yuhang.

While eating and drinking, the two discussed things, and Zhou Hongzuo suggested that if Yang Lian didn't dare to come, he might as well write a letter to impeach Yang Lian. This was very much in line with Zhou Zong's meaning, and the two couldn't help laughing.

In Yuhang City, Yang Lian was listening to Zhu Qi's report, and after observing in the past few days, the composition of the people living in the camp was complicated. Most of the people were real people, but there were two other groups of people, mostly strong men, who often got together and didn't know what to discuss.

Yang Lian asked Zhu Qi to continue to strengthen surveillance, maybe these people can take advantage of it.

While the two were talking, a personal soldier came over with an envoy from Zhou Zong. The envoy was very polite to Yang Lian, and said, "I was ordered by Zhou Situ to send a letter to Yang Jiedu." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom.

Zhu Qi took the letter, took out the letterhead, opened it, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he handed it to Yang Lian.

Yang Lian looked at it carefully, put away the letter, and said: "You tell Zhou Situ that this section is busy with affairs and can't spare time, if Zhou Situ wants to discuss the plan to attack Hangzhou, Zhou Situ might as well come to Yuhang City for a trip, this section must be good for wine and meat." ”

The messenger was stunned for a moment and said, "Yang Jiedu, this ......"

"Why, what you say in this section doesn't count?" Yang Lian asked in a deep voice.

The envoy was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Yang Lian's words, he was murderous, and immediately took two steps back, and said, "Humble, lowly understand." As he spoke, without waiting for Yang Lian to reply, he hurriedly left with his head down.

"Humph!" Yang Lian snorted coldly and focused on the map, he didn't care about Zhou Zong's affairs at all.

The Tang army was victorious, the soldiers arrived in Hangzhou, and the news reached Jinling, and Li Jing was in a happy mood. During this period of time, the situation in the Tang Dynasty was relatively bad, except for the war in Wu Yueguo, the Great Zhou State in the north frequently mobilized troops and horses on the border, and it seemed to have the intention of going south, but the Great Zhou has not moved, which made Li Jing feel a little relieved.

Not to mention the war in the north, the Southern Han in the south went north, trying to capture the land of the Tang Dynasty, and on the other side, the land of Chu was recovered by the old department of the Ma family, although Ma Xichong was sent to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact the land of Chu is no longer owned by the Tang Dynasty, fortunately, Liu Yan, who occupied the land of Chu, has no other intentions, but just wants to occupy the land of Chu and stand on his own. Now that Datang is in smoke everywhere, since Liu Yan has no intention of attacking, Li Jing will ignore Liu Yan for the time being.

However, the defeat of Chu Di made Li Jing very depressed, and he did not recover for several days, but fortunately, the war of Wu Yueguo went smoothly, and Li Jing's mood was much better.

If it occupies the rich land of Wu Yueguo, it is far better than that of Chu, Jinling will be much more stable, and the heavy troops in Xuanzhou and Changzhou can be transferred to the frontier to expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Huang, now that the war in Wu Yueguo has reached the last critical moment, Yang Lian has made a lot of meritorious contributions." Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said, his face was glowing red, Yang Lian was a quasi-son-in-law, and now that he had made a contribution, Li Jingsui also felt that there was light on his face.

"Hehe, Yang Lian has made a great contribution, and I naturally won't treat him badly." Li Jing said and took a sip of tea, and said: "However, now that the Zhou State is eyeing the border, it seems that there is a intention to go south, the sooner the war in Wu Yueguo is resolved, the Tang Dynasty will be able to free up his hands and recuperate." ”

Li Jingsui said: "Brother Huang, now that Zhou Situ and Yang Lian are in Hangzhou, Wu Yueguo must be panicked by the army and the people, and it should not be difficult to attack this lonely city." ”

"I hope so." Li Jing said.

At this time, Han Xizai, who was transferred back to the capital again, walked in, and now he is a member of the Zhongshu House, in charge of the march, the senator and other things, although he is only a seven-rank official, but he has important responsibilities and is in charge of secrets, and non-cronies of the Son of Heaven cannot serve.

Han Xizai held an urgent report in his hand, came in, saluted Li Jing, the son of heaven, and said, "Wechen has seen Your Majesty and King Qi. ”

"No courtesy." Li Jing said.

Li Jingsui is much calmer now, and he also found that Han Xizai has changed a lot, and when he saw that he was holding a letter in his hand, he asked: "Han Qing, the urgent report in your hand is good news?" ”

Han Xizai remained silent and said: "King Qi, this is Zhou Situ's urgent report, it is said to be related to the attack on Hangzhou, Weichen didn't dare to slack off, so he sent the report first." ”

Gao Ze stepped forward, took the letter, and handed it to the Son of Heaven. Li Jing opened it and looked at it, unconsciously frowned, he glanced at Han Xizai, and said, "Han Qing's family, you go down first!" ”

Han Xizai bowed his hand and retreated, he wanted to know what the Son of Heaven thought, but the Son of Heaven didn't give him this opportunity, thinking that in the mind of the Son of Heaven, Yang Lian's position was still unbreakable, and it was not so easy to shake.

"Brother Huang, this is Zhou Situ's urgent report for impeaching Yang Lian." Li Jing said.

"Impeachment of Yang Lian? Why is that? Li Jingsui couldn't help but be stunned, Yang Lian fought successively, captured Zhoushan, Mingzhou, Yuezhou and other places, and now occupies Yuhang, only dozens of miles away from Hangzhou, Hangzhou is almost at his fingertips, such a credit, why did Zhou Zong impeach him?
