Hangzhou.

As the political, cultural and economic center of Zhejiang. The city of Hangzhou is densely populated.

Hangzhou's West Lake is famous all over the world, no matter what the season, there are literati from all over the world who come to the West Lake to play and make many poems.

It's just that the Han thieves have recently attacked Ningbo and Taizhou, and the fire has burned to Hangzhou, which can be said to be burning eyebrows.

The whole Hangzhou is in a mess, and some people drag their families to the north and want to take refuge in Nanjing. Some people came to Hangzhou with their families and wanted to take refuge in Hangzhou.

No one goes to West Lake to play.

The highest civil official in Zhejiang, he is the governor of Zhejiang.

This term of the governor of Zhejiang is called Xun Ze, 42 years old this year, a native of Beizhili, and a Jinshi background. Being an official is quite regular, and he cherishes his feathers.

But mediocre abilities.

And such an official is considered good in the entire Chu State.

Xun Ze summoned civil and military officials to discuss major matters in his governor's yamen.

Inside the hall.

Xun Ze took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "Everyone, the Han thieves have occupied all the county towns of Taizhou and Ningbo. The front of the army is strong, and there is a vague tendency to attack Hangzhou. What to do? ”

The civil officials present were all embarrassed and at a loss.

Some of the generals were timid, some were calm, and some were excited.

Zhejiang originally had a large number of troops, but many of them were transferred to the north. Xun tried his best to mobilize his troops and defend Hangzhou Mansion.

At present, there are 30,000 soldiers.

There are various official positions, including thousands of households under the control of the guard, and there are also generals.

There is a person named Chen Mingzhi, the official worships General Sanpin Huaiyuan, leading thousands of soldiers and horses, who can not only get on the horse and gallop between the two formations, but also sit in the battalion to command the battle, and is a person who understands both civil and military.

He took a deep breath and stood up and said to Xun Ze, "Lord Governor." The thieves came from the sea, and there was no food or reinforcements. ”

"But it's very combative."

"Now they have just landed, and they are in full swing and strong. I thought I should defend the city and resist the enemy. ”

"Then send officials to the countryside, let the landlords and squires organize regimental exercises, defend the township, and stop the thieves."

"In this way, the thieves can be consumed, and the thieves will not be able to collect food. Over time, the thieves weakened and retreated. ”

Don't look at the advantage of the Chu army on paper, but since ancient times, there are not many soldiers, but elite.

Chen Mingzhi was very confident in himself, and he also dared to ride a horse and lead elite soldiers to fight against the Han army. But he had no faith in his colleagues.

Xun Zeyan nodded when he heard this, but his face showed embarrassment.

He listened, and it was conservative, but it was foolproof. Although Huang Chu is rotten, the roots are still there.

As long as the people resist the Han state, they will not pay food to the Han soldiers.

Don't look at the fact that now the Han army controls all the counties of Ningbo and Taizhou, and without food, the army will be scattered.

But here's the thing.

Now the country is also in difficulty. Zhejiang waterways extend in all directions. If the Han soldiers controlled the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, hundreds of thousands of troops in the north would have to drink the northwest wind.

The court blamed him, and he couldn't afford it.

Guangwei General Zhang Haoyong saw the truth and stood up and said to Xun Ze: "My lord." I disagree with General Chen's strategy. ”

"Now we have a lot of troops, and we can take the initiative. Besides, Li Tianbao is in the navy. It's a dragon on the sea, and it's just a dish when you go ashore. ”

"Please let me lead the army. I must have killed Li Tianbao and dedicated my head to the adults. ”

Zhang Haoyong is not an idle person, and his family is a scholarly family. It's just that he has been strong since he was a child, and he likes to dance with guns and sticks.

The family invited him to learn martial arts with a martial artist, and invited a famous teacher to learn the art of war.

When he grew up, he was brave, good at using his horse, and able to shoot a strong bow. Later, the family made money and gave him a military attaché position.

He trained his troops in a good way, took the lead, and accumulated military exploits in order to conquer the Fusang pirates, and only then did he worship General Sipin Guangwei.

The state of Chu is armed with literature. Whether it is a third-rank or fourth-rank general, in front of the governor, he is a subordinate.

He sensed Xun Ze's thoughts, and planned to fight hard and fight for prosperity.

Zhang Haoyong held his head high, and the essence of the tiger's eyes flashed, showing a strong momentum, and he was also a hero.

"Your Excellency. General Zhang's courage was commendable, but his behavior was too frivolous. According to my strategy, I can protect Hangzhou Mansion, most of Zhejiang. If we send troops to fight, I am afraid that the whole territory of Zhejiang will fall. ”

Chen Mingzhi's face was very ugly, and after taking a deep breath, he bent down and said to Xun Ze sincerely.

"Chen Mingzhi, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Haoyong narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous light.

Chen Mingzhi was not afraid of him, raised his head and said bluntly: "Isn't my meaning obvious? If only I listened to you. That's all over. ”

"No guts bandits. I didn't dare to fight, and I was embarrassed to obstruct others. You Chen Mingzhi is so famous, I still respected you. Now look at it, phew. ”

Zhang Haoyong saw that his face was torn, and he no longer had any scruples, and lowered his head and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm towards the floor, revealing contempt.

"Hmph. You say I'm gutsless. Do you dare to sign a life and death certificate and fight with me with real swords and guns? Chen Mingzhi snorted coldly and said provocatively.

"I'm still afraid that you won't make it?" Zhang Haoyong's blood surged, rolled up his sleeves, blushed and said with a rough neck.

"Alright, alright. They are all loyal ministers of the country, and the thieves and soldiers have all come to the door. You are still making noise, what kind of system have you become? Xun Ze had a cold face, patted the coffee table and said loudly.

Chen Mingzhi and Zhang Haoyong suddenly saw a cat like a mouse, did not dare to argue, turned around and sat back. But they still looked at each other with their eyes, and the air smelled of gunpowder.

Xun Ze pinched his eyebrows, very desperate.

This soldier is overwhelmed.

Don't look at the civil and military forces present, people who dare to stand up and come up with ideas, and have the ability. That's it. But they disagreed, and before the fight started, they were in chaos first.

Sure enough, it's a martial artist.

There is no big picture.

Xun Ze scolded in his heart. Then, he fell into deep thought, should he send troops to fight, or garrison Hangzhou Mansion to resist?

It's hard, it's hard.

After a long time, Xun Ze still didn't make a decision, so he had to stand up and say, "Okay." The stakes are high, let me think about it. ”

"You all go back. The military generals reorganized the troops and horses, and the civilian officials allocated food. ”

"Your Excellency. When the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic. Chen Mingzhi was anxious, stood up and said.

"Your Excellency is wise. When it comes to big things, you should think carefully. Zhang Haoyong stood up and said with low eyebrows.

Xun Ze saw it in his eyes, and he had a good impression of Zhang Haoyong in his heart, but he was a little bit worse off Chen Mingzhi.

"All down." He waved his hand and said with a straight face.

"Yes." The civil and military officers answered, turned around and went down. Chen Mingzhi opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say it, so he shook his head and left.

After leaving the governor's yamen, Zhang Haoyong immediately beckoned his soldiers over, put his right hand on the shoulders of his soldiers, and whispered, "Xiao Chen." Wait a minute, you go and get in touch with the governor's master, Li Chun. ”

"As long as he helps me get things done, I can say anything."

"Yes." The soldiers responded respectfully.

"This is officialdom. It is not possible to rely on ability. You have to be capable, plus understand people. Zhang Haoyong showed a proud look, took the horse whip handed by his own soldiers, turned over his horse vigorously, and led the crowd to leave Hangzhou and go back to the barracks.

Whoever is in office.

You can't do it without a master by your side.

Master Shaoxing is famous all over the world.

However, this Li Chun is not from Shaoxing and Xun Ze, and he is also from Beizhili. Some ingenuity, but greed for money.

Zhang Haoyong had been in contact with Li Chun several times before and was familiar with the situation.
