At this time, Zheng Zhi and Wang Hanzhi had already arrived at the outer hall of the Yamen and sat down, and the left and right military men and officials were also full. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wang Xianggong, how many people are there in the imperial court in the forbidden army on Liangzhejiang Road?" Zheng Zhi's question is also that Zheng Zhi really knows very little about the situation in the south of the Great Song Dynasty, and it stands to reason that there are large-scale garrisons on each road, such as Qinfeng Road, and the border state capitals are stationed, but they will also hoard heavy troops in Qinzhou, which can be regarded as mobile forces and temporary assembly to deal with the troops.

In the south, it is different, there are not many military generals stationed in the state capital, and even some small cities only have yacha, and there is no forbidden army stationed. The main military forces of the Great Song Dynasty are in the north, and the main military consumption is naturally in the north, from Xihe Lanhuang to Qinfeng and then to Hebei, which is the main place where the forbidden army is stationed outside Tokyo.

"There are 5,000 permanent forbidden troops in Liangzhejiang, and the soldiers and horses are all supervised as Yan Tan, who has already been killed by Fang La in Qingxi County." Wang Hanzhi shook his head as he spoke.

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he had nothing to say, one road, the permanent army was only five thousand, and he was annihilated by Fang La, who was just starting, and even the main general died. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness is low, and Fang La, who is just starting out, does not even have a few real weapons, and he can completely annihilate 5,000 forbidden troops and kill the main general of the forbidden army.

"Wang Xianggong, this time I was ordered to suppress the thieves, take over the defense of Jiangning, and ask Wang Xianggong to gather all the soldiers that can be used in the city, and the maps in the yamen are also turned out, so that it is also convenient to fight, what do you think?" Zheng Zhi is also not polite, and at this time, Zheng Zhi can't help but swallow it slowly.

"This is natural, now the safety of millions of people in Jiangning is in the hands of Zheng Xianggong, and I wish Zheng Xianggong a smooth war." Wang Hanzhi and Zheng Zhi spoke, and immediately turned his head and instructed left and right: "Cheng is in control, you will go down to order the school, all the horses will gather at this yamen, and after the school, come and ask Zheng Xianggong to personally proofread." ”

One of the ironclad soldiers stood up and replied, "Obey!" ”

Immediately, the military man went out to gather people, and Wang Hanzhi began to command left and right, asking the clerk to find the map, and asking the push officer to arrange the food and lodging of the military under Zheng Zhi.

Soon after, the map was placed in front of Zheng Zhi, and all the silk brocade maps were spread out on the ground.

With the map, everything is more intuitive, now Fangla's territory, is to Hangzhou as a reference point, from east to west a line, the two Zhejiang Road almost the entire territory has fallen, the central and southern parts of Jiangnan Road have basically fallen, Xuanzhou has been broken, Jiangnan Road is only left in Jiangning Mansion, Changzhou, Suzhou and other places.

This was the most important economic lifeline of the Great Song Dynasty, and Fang La accounted for three-quarters.

Zheng Zhi slowly looked around the map, and Wu Yongluda and others also came up to see. Zheng Zhi can still see it clearly, Wu Yong can also see a rough idea from the words on the map, Lu Da and several other men of the Western Army have no concept of this Jiangnan at all, and they frowned.

Wang Hanzhi made proper arrangements left and right, and waited for Zheng Zhi to look at the map for a long time before he stepped forward and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, is there a way to break the enemy?" ”

Zheng Zhi raised his head to look at Wang Hanzhi, who had white hair, and said: "I didn't think much about the strategy of breaking the enemy, now I have three thousand iron horsemen under my command, and I am not familiar with the place, so I can't act rashly, just wait for General Yang to have news, and then I can see the opportunity to act, but this thief army from the north of Fang La to Jiangning can break it first, so as to prevent Fang La from expanding his territory to the north, and also to protect Jiangning without worry." ”

When Wang Hanzhi heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This is the best, the thieves have broken Hangzhou, if Jiangning is broken again, Jiangnan and Zhejiang will fall into the hands of the enemy, if Jiangning is worry-free, Fang La will not be able to get out of this land in the south of the Yangtze River, just wait for the arrival of the imperial army, you can encircle it." ”

Wang Hanzhi said so much, in fact, in the final analysis, Zheng Zhizhi kept Jiangning and did not make his sixty or seventy-year-old prefect lose his late childhood. Chen Jiandu was killed in battle, and the chief officer of Liangzhejiang Road was killed, but Zhao Ting, the governor of Hangzhou, fled, which also gave Wang Hanzhi, who was dozens of years old, a very difficult choice.

Zheng Zhi really didn't understand this Wang Hanzhi's theory, if Fang La wants territory, to the west, to the northwest, it is the direction of development, Jiangnan West Road, Huainan West Road, anywhere can be attacked, and they are all relatively rich places. It is meaningless for a Jiangning Mansion to block in the north, the water system in the south is developed, and the roads are smooth, and this Jiangning can't stop anything.

"Wang Xianggong, there is still one thing to do at this time, which is to send someone who is familiar with the terrain of Jiangning to find out where Shibao is and where Fang Qifo is." Zheng Zhi has always been scouts first when he fights, and military intelligence is extremely important to Zheng Zhi.

"Naturally, this matter can be ordered to be handled by the system, and after proofreading the people, Zheng Xianggong will order." Wang Hanzhi was naturally obedient to Zheng Zhi at this time, Wang Hanzhi was sixty-six or seventeen years old, and he had read a lifetime of books where he had seen swordsmen, if this Wang Hanzhi faced Fang Qifo alone, he would only be helpless. Not only Wang Hanzhi, but also the governors of the entire Jiangnan and Zhejiang provinces, I am afraid that the vast majority of them are like this, and there is only one word: helpless.

After a long time, the sun was about to set, and the Jiang Ning soldiers outside the yamen were finally assembled. Zheng Zhi came to the yamen, only to see three or four hundred people who were lazy and lazy, Zheng Zhi shook his head again and again, Jiangning Mansion City has a population of more than 100,000 or 200,000, and there are only three or four hundred garrisons, no wonder you can order people at this yamen.

In later generations, in an ordinary prefecture-level city, there were thousands of armed police, fire and police combined. At this time, there were only three or four hundred people in a Jiangning Mansion City, no wonder Fang La's attack on the city was so simple, and he could occupy fifty-two counties in six states in a few months, but he was afraid that wherever the thieves went, they would be breached.

It would take several months for Fang La to ride a horse through 52 counties in six states.

Looking at the hundreds of brightly dressed but unarmored soldiers in front of him, Zheng Zhi didn't have much to think about, and said, "Become a commander." ”

When Zheng Zhi led tens of thousands of Western troops and 20,000 troops to garrison the city, it was just this official position, the head of the Weizhou soldiers and horses, and the level was half a level lower than the Jiangning Mansion's soldiers and horses.

This Cheng Yang heard Zheng Zhi call himself, and hurriedly came to the head, and saw that Zheng Zhi's face was a little unkind, so he stopped beside Zheng Zhi.

"This time, I will only give you one task, immediately lead someone to take Commander Yan to investigate the movements of the thief army, and everything is under the orders of Commander Yan." Zheng Zhi knew that these soldiers in Jiangning Mansion were useless, and the only use was that these locals were familiar with the situation, and it was just right to find out the news. Even if he inquired about the news, Zheng Zhi was not at ease, so he asked Yan Qing to follow.

Yan Qing heard this, and stepped forward in a few steps to greet this Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang was not born tall, but he was also a little older, only about forty or fifty, and he saw that this Yan Commander looked like a teenager, and he had to listen to the orders of this Yan Commander, and he didn't know what Cheng Yang felt in his heart.

Zheng Zhi saw that the two of them saluted, and said again: "Luda stepped forward to listen to the order. ”

Zheng Zhi directly issued a military order at the entrance of this yamen, and Luda hurriedly stepped forward to surrender his hand when he heard this.

"Take over all the city defenses, all the city gates are under martial law, all people who enter and leave the city are strictly investigated, and once you find someone with a sword, you will be imprisoned immediately." Zheng Zhi's order is to prevent the internal and external cooperation, and the battle of Zhujiazhuang made Zheng Zhi particularly afraid of this method of breaking the city.

"Order!" Ruda replied in a loud voice. As soon as the military order was issued, everyone immediately had another spirit, not only Luda, but all the men of the Western Army behind him all stood straight and straight, and even Mi Zhenwu, who had been following behind him, did not consciously stand up straight.

Everyone instantly exuded a murderous aura, and Wang Hanzhi unconsciously took two steps back, and his complexion also changed.

Cheng Yang also seemed to be affected, and unconsciously stood up a little straighter.

For a while, the aura of the entire yamen became completely different.

"Shi Jin listened to the order, and let the hundred people ride and the Fang Garden outside Jiangning City for twenty miles, day and night." Zheng Zhi said again, but this battle to exterminate Fangla was completely different from the battle of Western Xia, and it was also not connected with the battle of Liangshan. When Zheng Zhi first arrived in Jiangning, he was completely blind, so he wanted to hold the initiative in his hands, and intelligence work naturally came first.

"Order!" Shi Jin stepped forward to receive the order.

Zheng Zhi issued orders one by one, and almost all of the many soldiers and men had tasks on their bodies, with a total of only 3,000 people, and in the face of Jiangning City, which had a population of 200,000, it was really a little stretched. But it is even more difficult to imagine how Jiangning City, which is forbidden by the three or four hundred forbidden troops, is usually guarded, and it is impossible to prevent a thief from climbing over the city wall.

After receiving the order, all the soldiers and men at the gate of the yamen dispersed, and the soldiers under Cheng Yang's command were naturally divided into several groups to assist Luda and others.

Wang Hanzhi saw that Zheng Zhi's arrangement was orderly, and his heart was even more stable, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Zheng Xianggong is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, and the old man admires it!" ”

"Wang Xianggong has won the award." Zheng Zhi also replied, but he was actually worried in his heart, just because he didn't even have a plan in his heart at this time.

"After today's event, the old man arranged a table and wine banquet for Zheng Xianggong, it's not early, how about Zheng Xianggong go with the old man?" Wang Han's face was sincere, and he stretched out his hand to invite, and this kind of etiquette is also natural.

Zheng Zhi did not refuse to answer, stretched out his hand to invite, and followed Wang Hanzhi out of the yamen.

Wang Hanzhiben walked in front of the head, and suddenly took a step slower side by side with Zheng Zhi, that is, to introduce Zheng Zhi to the geography and humanities of Jiangning Fucheng, Zheng Zhi was interested in listening, comparing this Jiangning is a historical city, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms to later generations, this Jiangning has always been famous.

"Zheng Xianggong, if you want to talk about Jiangning, you have to say that this Qinhuai River, ten miles of Qinhuai has been a place for literati and ink writers to linger since ancient times, and today we also want to take a boat in Qinhuai, appreciate the charm of this Qinhuai, and it is not in vain that Zheng Xianggong came from the original way." Wang Hanzhi can govern Jiangning, and he is also a little proud in his heart.

Zheng Zhi nodded again and again when he heard this, and looked at the river around him in the evening glow, but it didn't seem very spacious, but the Qinhuai River passed through the city, and the charm of the Jiangnan water towns on both sides of the river was really elegant, and it had more flavor than the two banks of the Bianhe River.

Passing by an alley, Wang Hanzhi suddenly stopped and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, where are you going?" ”

Zheng Zhi listened to the question and looked at it, but it was just an alley, there was nothing unusual, but the buildings in this alley were a little more atmospheric than other places, and he didn't think much about it, and replied: "I don't know, please ask Wang Xianggong to solve your doubts." ”

When Wang Hanzhi heard this, he laughed, stroked his beard and said: "This is Wuyi Lane, which has been the place where wealthy families live since ancient times. ”

Zheng Zhi saw Wang Han's complacent appearance, and naturally remembered some things, so he said: "The wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley. In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. ”

Zheng Zhi has the impression that this poem seems to have been learned in elementary school in his previous life. Wuyi Lane was presented in front of Zheng Zhi across the millennium, and Zheng Zhi couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Haha... It is exactly, it is this Wuyi Lane, Liu Yuxi's original clerical error, this Wang Xie should be Wang Xier, this is the name of the person. Wang Hanzhi didn't know where to listen to the anecdote. However, it is said that this Wang Xie does not refer to the two families of Wang Xie of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but refers to Wang Xie as a person.

Zheng Zhi didn't know what Wang Xie was talking about, and he didn't say much, but he got up and walked forward.
