"Dadada!!!!"

On the avenue leading to Hangzhou City, more than ten fast horses galloped forward.

Soon, they saw the city of Hangzhou.

The gates were shut, and a small number of soldiers stood on them. They are all old, weak, sick and disabled, or servants and fast catchers.

Zhang Haoyong took the elite soldiers away, and the rest were all made up.

More than a dozen fast horses stopped, and immediately after the knights communicated with the defenders, the city opened, and they galloped into the city.

The streets of the city were empty, and all commercial activity was halted, except for the grain and oil stores, which were still open.

Governor's Yamen, in the study.

Xun sat on the Taishi chair, looking sluggish and sweating like pulp. Defeated, really defeated.

A sound of footsteps sounded, and Xun Ze struck a stirring spirit and looked up. I saw Master Li Chun hurriedly walking in from outside.

"Sir. What should I do now? Xun Ze had no master, and when he saw Li Chun, he seemed to see his father, so he immediately stood up, grabbed Li Chun's hand, and said with a panicked face.

When Taizhou and Ningbo were lost, they lost a lot of grain, grass and baggage.

The loss of Hangzhou City is equivalent to the output of the entire Zhejiang Province last year, which was burned to the ground.

Li Chun was also in a cold sweat. Although he accepted Zhang Haoyong's silver, he also believed that Zhang Haoyong could win.

Now it's a complete failure.

He settled down and said categorically: "Pack up the gold and silver, and run to Nanjing immediately." Big man. Don't think about it. The official will definitely not be able to keep it. Write a letter to the backer of the old man immediately and retire safely. ”

"Retirement!!!" Xun Ze let go of Li Chun's hands and sat down on the chair in despair.

Power is a poisonous thing. Once you get it, it's hard to let go.

He, the governor of Zhejiang, is a feudal official. The important ministers that the entire emperor can count are now gone.

Nope.

Xun Ze thought for a long time, raised his head and said to Li Chun: "Sir." You see, I organized the people to strengthen and take away the food and military supplies in the city. I don't expect to keep my position as governor of Zhejiang, but can I keep my chance to make a comeback in the future? ”

"It's too late. The Han army advanced by land and water. The navy soon arrived in the city. Li Chun shook his head, stomped his feet and said, "Master, when you are broken, you will continue to suffer from it." ”

Xun Ze was desperate, so he could only find a housekeeper and pack up the gold and silver. He left Hangzhou City on the same day.

With the departure of the governor of Zhejiang, most of the officials and wealthy families in Hangzhou were scattered.

Only those ordinary people who really couldn't run away could only hide in the city, hoping that the Han army would not kill them.

The Han army advanced by land and water.

The warship soon reached the outside of Hangzhou and entered the city without much difficulty.

After the Han army entered the city, it was the same as before. Publish a list of people, restrain military discipline, and do not commit any offense against the people.

Li Tianbao led the infantry army and entered Hangzhou on the morning of this day.

"Warm wind blows the tourists drunk, uh, what's the next sentence?" Li Tianbao rode a horse, stood at the gate of the city, looked up at the empty street in front of him, and turned his head to ask.

"The tourists who are blown by the warm wind are drunk, and they make Hangzhou Bianzhou." An officer replied.

"Hmm. That's it. What a city. We haven't seen it in Liaodong, even the capital of Goguryeo is not as majestic as Hangzhou. ”

"It's a pity. We can't stay. Li Tianbao showed pity.

Forthwith. Li Tianbao led everyone to the granary.

Li Tianbao had already been mentally prepared, but when he arrived at the granary, he was still stimulated by the scene in front of him.

The granaries are neatly arranged, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

Zhejiang, the land of fish and rice, the land of grain production. The city of Hangzhou is the provincial capital of Zhejiang.

Originally, even if it was Hangzhou City, there would not be so much food.

The current situation is that a lot of grain from various prefectures and counties has gathered in Hangzhou. Then it was transported from Hangzhou through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the north to supply hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in the north.

"We can eat for five years, or even longer. You can't finish eating, and you can't take it with you. ”

"It's a shame to burn it. How about we give them to the people in the neighborhood? ”

Li Tianbao is used to living a hard life, and it is a pity.

"Lord Admiral. If we give food to the people. After the incident, the government will double down on the loot. Far from being a good thing for the people, it's a bad thing. ”

"Ruthless, burn it."

Wang Baihui shook his head and said in a firm tone.

Yan Changshan next to him nodded. As locals, the two of them know too well the true colors of the officials.

"Hey." Li Tianbao sighed again and again, glanced at the mountains and seas of grain with nostalgia, and then ordered: "Set fire in the city, maybe the city will be burned." Let's get out of the city. ”

"Cloth, food, and military baggage. All burned. ”

"Find a way to take away all the gold, silver, and copper coins."

"Yes." An official answered.

Li Tianbao was very depressed, and left the granary with everyone and came to the governor's yamen to sit down.

"It is worthy of being the yamen of the governor of Zhejiang, magnificent." Li Tianbao was like a dirt bun, sitting on the main seat, showing appreciation.

That's nice.

That's great.

This is the rich land of our Chinese land, which is many times better than Liaodong, where birds don't.

It's a pity that I didn't live long.

"Ladies and gentlemen. We're in charge of the assault this time. attacked and harassed, but captured the city of Hangzhou. Took control of one end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Our task has been overfulfilled. ”

"The king's strategic purpose has also been achieved."

"Chu Guo can take care of the head, but not the tail. The army of the North will definitely be sent south against us. ”

"They will also organize non-governmental group exercises to harass us."

"Let's wait and see the situation first, and when it's almost over, we have to run."

Li Tianbao raised his head, his tone was very regretful, but his expression was very refreshing.

I overfulfilled the task. The city of Hangzhou was all laid down by me.

It's a pleasure. The king said, I am the first to take credit in this battle.

Most of them were also smug and laughed.

Wang Baihui stood up, bowed to Li Tianbao and said, "Lord Admiral." We couldn't have captured Hangzhou City in the first place. It's all Zhang Hao's brave fight. ”

"I think Chu State Nanjing may not be prepared."

"Even if you're prepared, it's not much."

"Why don't we take advantage of the victory and go north. If you can, you will capture Nanjing, and if not, you will show off your troops outside the city. ”

"Nanjing is the capital of the Chu State, and there are various yamen. As long as our soldiers and horses arrive in Nanjing, whether they succeed or not, it will have a great impact. ”

"Greatly increase the prestige of the Han army."

"Huh?" Li Tianbao was stunned when he heard it, Nanjing? I can't even think of it. But after thinking about it, he was thrilled again.

Li Tianbao looked up and looked at Liu Tianfang, both of whom had a dry mouth.

Li Tianbao pondered for a moment, patted his thigh and stood up and said, "Okay." We marched by land and water and sent troops to Nanjing. ”
