As soon as the year passed, Li Zitong established himself as the king of Chu in Hailing County, with more than 40,000 troops, and in May of the same year, the troops sent two roads, all the way to capture Jiangdu, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and went straight to Yuhang, preparing to capture Hangzhou.

Li Zitong's army, which captured Jiangdu, was defeated and returned, and had to go south to make peace with the army that attacked Yuhang, with a total strength of more than 35,000 people.

Hangzhou Thorn History Mansion, Gao Buer sat in the lobby and convened a civil and military meeting.

Gu Ci was the first to speak: "Duke Guo, the thief vanguard army is only less than fifty miles away from Hangzhou City, how to resist the enemy is still to ask the state to publicize." ”

Since subduing a number of wealthy families, Gao Buer has stepped up military training and left nothing to places outside Hangzhou, and now that the thief army is coming, he has not seen any action by Gao Buer, so Gu Ci took the lead and asked Gao Buer about his plans, after all, Hangzhou City is now also a city with a population of more than 100,000 people, once there is a mistake, the consequences are unimaginable.

Another military Sima also came out and said: "The thief army is claimed to be 60,000 to the outside world, but in fact it is only 30,000 or 40,000 horses, more than 10,000 more than our army, but our army has an advantage in weapons and cavalry, so my subordinates think that they should take the initiative to attack." ”

"Lord Sima's words are wrong, I think it's better to hold on to the city, and use the strong city to eliminate the advantage of few soldiers." Fa Cao came out of the way.

"What Facao-sama said is very true."

"We agree with Lord Sima and take the initiative to attack."

Everyone in the hall took the initiative to attack and held on to the city, and the quarrel was inexorable. Li Jing, who was standing at the bottom, was silent, and Gao Buer also looked at the noisy people in the hall with special interest, traveling to this era, it was the first time he saw the scene of the ancients' arguments with different opinions, which was very interesting, similar to later generations, and they all wanted to convince each other.

Seeing that Gao Buer sat indifferently and didn't stop it, Gu Ci scolded him twice and said: "In front of the Duke of Chu, it is noisy and noisy, and no matter what kind of system it becomes, all retreat." "After all, it is a person who has done the history of assassination, and the prestige is still there, and everyone bows down and retreats.

Gu Ci saluted Gao Buer and said, "How to resist the enemy, please make it public to the Chu State, so that I can prepare as soon as possible." ”

Li Jing, who had never spoken, said: "It's just a group of rabble, Lord Changshi doesn't need to be frightened." ”

You are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, anyway, your family is not in Hangzhou, you are not in a hurry. Gu Ci was very resistant to Li Jing, a strong colleague, who relied on the trust of the national prince, and did not take him seriously in the barracks, showing himself to be in the way, and built a pergola during military training, so that people could drink tea by themselves after that, so that now his soldiers listen to him more than themselves.

Although Gu Ci also turned the corner to express his dissatisfaction with Gao Buer, but Gao Buer always played haha, just kidding, you half-civil official dancing with a knife and a gun in front of the god of war, isn't it uncomfortable, we did hand over the army to Li Jing, let you go to hang a name, you still take it seriously, and you can't keep the army in Hangzhou City if you hand it over.

After talking too many times, Gu Ci also saw Gao Buer's trust in Li Jing, so he didn't say anything anymore, and simply did the work of the long history, and didn't go to the barracks.

Gao Buer saw that everyone was almost noisy, coughed twice, and everyone stood quietly, waiting for him to speak.

Gao Buer took a sip of tea and said: "I already know your opinions, they are all for the sake of the military and people in Hangzhou, I am very pleased, no matter what the big guy thinks in his heart, but no one said that he abandoned the city and did not defend it, which shows that everyone's hearts are the same." ”

Some people below thought to themselves, just kidding, you have more than 30,000 elite soldiers in your hands, and the thief army is only less than 40,000 rabble, who runs at this time is a fool.

Gao Buer glanced at everyone in the hall and continued: "What General Li said is good, the thieves are bluffing, and a group of reckless people are not afraid of Daozai, General Li. ”

Seeing Gao Fuji calling himself, Li Jing immediately stepped out and said, "Here." ”

"I order you to lead an army of 30,000 by water, take the initiative to attack, and repel the thief army on the road, you can do everything yourself, as long as the thief army retreats, there is no need to pursue."

"Yes."

"Gu Changshi, you lead the remaining 8,000 officers and soldiers to do a good job in city defense and maintain law and order, and don't dare to make mistakes."

"Please rest assured that there will be no problems."

"That's fine." Gao Buer continued: "The rest of the people should appease the people, so that everyone doesn't have to panic, what to do, but the city gate should strengthen the investigation, don't let the thieves mix in to kill people and set fire to sabotage, you go, whoever has a problem, I will seriously investigate the responsibility." ”

As a good young man in the 21st century, he can't say anything about stealing his family and killing his head at every turn, and he is just removed from his post.

The crowd dispersed, and Gao Fuji changed into civilian clothes and visited the city. Li Jing led the troops to the battle, he didn't think he had anything to worry about, the guards at the key city gate could not make mistakes, if the thieves were allowed to mix in and create chaos, it would be disadvantageous to the morale of the army and the people, after all, most of the families of the soldiers recruited from the wealthy families were also in Hangzhou.

On the other side, Li Jing let the infantry get on the warship, and he personally led the troops to meet the thief army.

The two sides soon met, as Li Jing said, although Li Zitong's army had an advantage in numbers, but the navy army was mostly sampan boats, and the army was mostly an infantry army.

Li Zitong's army was mostly peasants, and the weapons were also rudimentary, and they couldn't cut the Xuanjia army led by Li Jing at all.

After this battle, Li Zitong's army lost more than eighty percent, and the turtle retreated into Hailing and did not come out.

Li Jing led the army to return victoriously, the city of Hangzhou was jubilant, and the nearby displaced people also came to Hangzhou, resulting in a sharp increase in the population of Hangzhou for a while.
