"The Imperial Driver?" Hangzhou, Zhuo Mansion, Zhuo Ao looked at the letter in his hand, and couldn't help sneering: "The Zhao family's lineage is going to be cut off from now on!" ”

"Master, do you recall the generals immediately?" Huo Lao stood beside Zhuo Ao and asked, Zhao Ji wants to drive the expedition in person, this is not a trivial matter, Huo Lao does not understand military affairs, so at this time, the first thing that comes to mind is to gather the generals of various departments.

"Not necessarily!" Zhuo Ao shook his head: "Not only can they not come back, but they must continue to keep an eye on their position, and they must not let the alien race have a chance to take advantage of it, as for Zhao Ji, I will personally clean him up and settle the situation in one fell swoop!" ”

Zhuo Ao once again refers to me, which also means that Zhuo Ao is ready to replace him.

"Yes, the old slave will go and pass on a few generals." Huo Lao nodded and bowed to leave.

"Husband, is it because of Ling'er?" After Huo Lao left, Zhao Ling'er walked out of the back hall and said with a worried face.

"Of course not." Zhuo Ao shook his head, this matter, in the final analysis, was provoked by him, but it was by various means to lure Zhao Ji to make a move, touched Zhao Ling'er's hair, and said softly: "Don't worry about these things, war is a man's world, as my woman, I hope you can always be happy, instead of frowning, you will feel distressed." ”

"Husband~" Feeling the gradually hot temperature of Zhuo Ao, Ling'er's pretty face was slightly red, although she had been married for a while, she was always very shy at this time.

Soon after, Yun Pengcheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly united with the governor of Liangjiang and secretly transferred 10,000 elites into Hangzhou to challenge Zhuo Ao. No matter how secretive it is, it can't escape Zhuo Ao's eyes, as soon as the two of them attacked, their heads were chopped off by the shadow guards who had been lurking around them, and then the 10,000-strong army was frightened by the shouts of killing one after another. Before an arrow was fired, the army was defeated like a mountain and scattered.

Three days later, Zhao Ji, who got the news, was furious, mobilized 50,000 forbidden troops and 150,000 local soldiers, and swore an army of 200,000 to go on the expedition. Countless eyes focus on Hangzhou.

Hangzhou, now the prefect is gone, Zhuo Ao is the real master of Hangzhou, among the Zhuo Mansion, a row of civil and military officers are lined up in turn, these are the past ten years. Zhuo Ao has cultivated outstanding talents little by little, although they are not top generals like Zhao Yun, Xu Da, and Yang Jiaqi. But among the generals Zhuo Ao has seen, he can be regarded as a middle-class posture, and what he lacks now is only to deal with it on the spot.

"My lord, now the imperial court is raising troops, and the army of 200,000 is huge. There is also the emperor of the current dynasty who drove the expedition in person, and there are only 30,000 people in my Hangzhou city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compete, do you want to mobilize some people from various states? A civilian official stepped forward and said.

Another person laughed: "Although in a short period of time, it is difficult to gather an army of 200,000. But with the influence of the lord in Jiangnan, if it is 100,000 people, it is definitely not difficult. ”

"Thirty thousand?" Zhuo Ao smiled: "Wrong, it's 8,000, if it's 30,000, in righteousness, we will lose money, so in Hangzhou City, I am only going to keep 8,000 people, and the rest will be divided into various cities, and when the war is stalemate here, I will quickly lead the cities to be brave and seize the city." ”

"Eight thousand?" A group of scribes couldn't help but be speechless in shock when they heard this, 30,000 soldiers and horses against 200,000 is an incredible thing, 8,000 against 200,000, what is the difference between this and looking for death.

Zhuo Ao ignored these ministers, although he was a capable official and a good hand at governing one side, but when it came to the military, if he really listened to their advice, it would really be self-defeating.

looked at the column of generals under the tent, and said with a smile: "Han Shizhong, tell me your opinion." ”

Han Shizhong, one of the four generals of Zhongxing in history, a famous general with Yue Fei, is not a descendant cultivated by Zhuo Ao, was the last time the flood was flooded, he defected to Hangzhou, and was favored by Zhuo Ao.

"I believe that eight thousand is enough!" Today's Han Shizhong is only sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and burly, if it weren't for the childishness on his face, no one would have thought that this was still a half-old child, but although he was small, he was full of courage.

Looking at the stupid expressions of the group of scholars, the young Han Shizhong suddenly said in a hurry: "I have seen the Song soldiers, not only have they been absent from the battle formation for a long time, but also the generals are incompetent, the soldiers are beary, and the generals are bears, don't look at his momentum, but 200,000 is just a bluff, Wanyan Agu can fight in the guard, break the Liao army with 20,000 and 700,000, we have 8,000 elites, and have the advantage of fortifying the city, why not wait for 8,000 to break him 200,000?" “

A group of civil officials couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, this little guy is not very ambitious, and he wants to compare with Wanyan Aguta.

A middle-aged civil official looked at Han Shizhong with a smile and said: "General Han's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the future is terrifying, but in the battle of Hubu Dagang, the Jin people have no way to retreat, and they fight with the momentum of mourning and death, and the momentum has suppressed the other party. ”

"But the Song army is not the Liao army." Han Shizhong was not convinced.

"But General Han is not a complete fight." The other scribe shook his head and laughed.

"Alright." Seeing that Han Shizhong had signs of turning his face, Zhuo Ao stood up and said: "Today's Han Shizhong is indeed not as good as Wanyan Aguda, but I assert that ten years later, Han Shizhong, even if Wanyan Aguda sees it, he will have to take a detour!" ”

looked at Han Shizhong and said: "The general is the spirit of the three armies, for the general, when there is Shizhong who is not afraid of anyone's courage, in order to bring out an invincible lion in the world, Wanyan Agu is also a person, Shizhong has the courage to not be afraid of Wanyan Agu, this is something that ordinary generals never dare to think, based on this alone, Han Shizhong has the potential to be inferior to any famous general!" But ......"

As soon as the words changed, Zhuo Ao smiled and said: "The golden soldiers are killed in one war after another, and our soldiers are trained, without a battle formation, they are not really brave, if they really go out of the city to fight, let alone 200,000, even if they are 20,000 Song soldiers, they may not be able to win, but as Shizhong said, we have the advantage of strengthening the city, and there are young tigers like Shizhong who are not afraid of fighting with Yan and Agu, and there is the support of tens of millions of people, 8,000 against 200,000, and they may not be defeated." ”

"And, of course, the most important thing." Zhuo Ao looked at everyone and smiled: "No matter which general Zhao Ji sends, I will not be so decided, but Zhao Ji has personally conquered, so I assert that even if there are only 8,000 people, it is we who will win in the end!" ”

"My lord, why does the emperor drive the expedition in person, but our army has a better chance of winning?" A military general was puzzled.

"The Son of Heaven is the weight of a country, the body of ten thousand jun, and cannot be moved lightly." Zhuo Ao sneered: "This battle originally had a good chance of winning, and there was no need for the Son of Heaven to come to the front line in person, but he went to the front line for his own selfishness, and the soldiers felt that they would win, so they would naturally take the protection of the Son of Heaven as the primary task. ”

"And just as Shizhong said, the Song army has been sparse for a long time, the sword is rusty, the generals at all levels do not seek merit, but seek no fault, there are many factions in the DPRK and China, officials pull each other's hind legs, the generals of the DPRK and China are subject to the control of the civil ministers, the courage has long been exhausted, the generals have no courage, the three armies have no fighting spirit, and they have to protect their emperor, such an army, even if it comes to two million, it is only two million sheep, even if it encounters a tiger, it will be exhausted, not to mention that we have 8,000 tigers here, why can't we win?"

"The last general is willing to be the lord and swear to kill the enemy!" A group of generals only felt that their blood was boiling, and they all shouted loudly, and the sound shook in all directions, and even the scribes felt a little hot, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw this, it seemed that they couldn't stop it.

At the moment, Zhuo Ao ordered the people to select 8,000 of the strongest soldiers from among the 30,000 brave to stay in the city, and the others were led by a group of civil officials, leaving Hangzhou City, scattered to various places, ready to wait for the opportunity to seize the city, the civil officials naturally could not take the city, but on both sides of the Yangtze River, there were Zhuo Ao's henchmen, and the civil officials were only responsible for bringing the soldiers to them.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Zhuo Ao can lead 8,000 defenders to block the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, and if the imperial army breaks through Hangzhou City in one round, everything will naturally be over.

At the same time, Zhuoao released another list article, which spread all over the world, to the following effect:

Not my arrogant and disloyal, but the current emperor is mediocre, first coveted my wife, the Yangtze River flood, the victims are everywhere, the court does not think about disaster relief, I Zhuo Ao contributed money and efforts, to help the victims tide over the difficulties, but unprovoked by the court suspicion, assassination failed, and raised troops to fight, now the war in the north continues, do not want to hit the foreign captives, but plainly set off a war in the country, poison the soul, Zhuo Ao although loyal, but never foolish loyalty, since the emperor regards me as a dog, I am no longer the people of the Great Song Dynasty, now the pole is unveiled, it is helpless, is defeated, I will never bow my head to the faint king, just this book, the resentment in my chest, the merits, for future generations to evaluate!

A list of essays was written by the most famous genius in Jiangnan, but it was written impassionedly, and he was unkind to the court, and he was the first to put himself in the position of the victim.

Before Zhao Ji arrived in Hangzhou, he received Zhuo Ao's list text, and he was angry and smashed it again, ordering the three armies to speed up the march, and within a month, they had arrived at the city of Hangzhou.

The 200,000 army blocked the water of the siege of Hangzhou, and the first time he saw such a huge battle, it was Han Shizhong, and he couldn't help but feel turbulent. (To be continued.) )
