Four hundred and seventieth chapters Hangzhou preliminary determination
Compared to the chaos in Jiangning City, the city of Hangzhou is already peaceful. Except that the defenders have been replaced by loyal and brave soldiers, there is no other difference.
The bamboo carriage door that was blown open by ammunition has been repaired by the craftsmen of the transport camp. The army originally prepared for King Qin arrived outside the city one after another, numbering 50,000. After Wu Cheng, the Prime Minister of the State, brought the King of Yue's will with the tiger talisman, he temporarily returned to his grandson.
Commander Yu.
Sun Yu demobilized all the temporarily recruited Xiangyong back to their hometowns, selected the best from the Hunan Army to join the Zhongyong Army, and repatriated the rest as well. Among them, the main force of 20,000 forbidden troops did not move for the time being, but exchanged their chief generals, making it difficult for them to do so in the short term.
Up and down are of the same mind.
Sun Yu was willing to recruit him, but by doing so, wouldn't it be clear that he has no superiority? It's like there is a big bowl of meat in front of Sun Yu. If he doesn't eat it, he always feels it's a pity. If he eats it, he will probably die. It's really a dilemma.
choice.
There used to be a house in the city, which was the private property of the royal family and occupied a large area. Now it is used by Sun Yu as a temporary office. There are still many things to do in the Nanyue Kingdom, especially in Suzhou, Muzhou and Wenzhou, where many people gather.
The soldiers had sufficient food and grass. Although the King of Yue sent a letter, it was only a truce. A real surrender still required negotiation of various details.
"My lord, Mr. Xu is here!" Evil Dog received the report from his subordinates and walked to Sun Yu's side and said.
"Let's go and greet him!" Sun Yu stood up. Ever since he received the news that Zhao Guangyi was going south, he had always felt uneasy. Although Zhao Pu's judgment was not necessarily correct, he always felt that something big had happened.
Sun Yu wanted to go north to Jiangning, but with the current situation in Hangzhou, how could he leave lightly?
Even if Cheng Zhenbei is allowed to sit here, he is not at ease. Once the city has been set up, once he leaves, many people will have some inappropriate thoughts. After all, Cheng Zhenbei is a military commander, and he still has to deal with those arrogant people.
Let Xu Yi deal with it.
"I have met the Duke!" Xu Yi was lame. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Sun Yu striding towards him and quickly raised his hands in salute.
"Sir, you are polite. Come with me quickly. Without you, everything is complicated and really a headache." Sun Yu asked Xu Yi to come over this time, and Fuzhou was handed over to Chief Shi Lu Qian. If the job is done well, he is ready to take care of it.
The position of governor of Fuzhou was handed over to him, and Xu Yi was relieved to be his marching commander.
"The Duke is going to be famous all over the world this time, so what else is there to worry about?" Xu Yi chuckled. Sun Yu's method of raiding the opponent's capital and easily destroying a country was unprecedented, but it was similar.
"Sir, don't make fun of me. It's just a trick." Sun Yu was also somewhat proud, but he had to act more modestly. Bragging was really not his style.
"Tricks? My subordinates don't think so." Xu Yi shook his head, but he clearly knew how much planning Sun Yu had done for this result.
Ever since he left Jiangning and went to Jianzhou, Sun Yu had planned the strategy for this battle. Over the years, he has been steadily advancing towards this goal, and the South Vietnam Kingdom was not unjustly defeated.
In the yard at the entrance to the front hall, there is a large map, which details the mountains, rivers, terrain and city distribution of the Yue Kingdom and the Southern Tang Dynasty. This thing was sent by the Yue King Qian Hongchu, and it used to be displayed in the palace.
It was sent here for him to check the situation of the world, which can be regarded as showing that he has no other thoughts.
"My lord, are you thinking of replacing him? You must not do it. If you do this, you will be benefiting from the Song Dynasty." As soon as Xu Yi looked at the map, he knew what Sun Yu was thinking.
When he was in Fuzhou, he had been thinking about how to persuade Sun Yu if he really wanted to become independent.
"Sir, I feel that I have worked so hard to fight
Should we give up the land we came down from?" Sun Yu's heart was full of contradictions. He wanted to curb his ambition, but when Xu Yi said this, he felt unwilling to do so.
In this battle, he made the most of his contribution, but if he achieved nothing, wouldn't it mean that he was used as a wedding dress for someone else?
Moreover, if the Southern Tang Dynasty swallowed up the Yue Kingdom in one go, it would only take two or three years to reach a higher level. At that time, he would have no choice.
People's ambitions always grow stronger with the growth of their strength. Even if they can restrain themselves, they cannot stop the suspicion of others.
"Mr. Guo, although our loyal and brave army currently has good combat capabilities, in terms of war potential, it is far inferior to that of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Not to mention other places, there are still nearly 20 land and water armies on the line from Ezhou to Jiangzhou and Raozhou.
Wan, I heard that the food in the warehouse is enough for more than a year. On the other hand, in the land of four states, the official warehouse is empty. Even if South Vietnam occupies a few states, it is just a newly attached land. How much potential does it have? I, the Duke of the country, have
He was known as the God of War in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he had countless admirers in Jiangning. Presumably, that person would not break his own arms..." Xu Yi's meaning is very clear, that is, to be content with the status quo and fight against the Great War together.
As for the development of the Song Dynasty, they can go overseas. Once there is internal strife with each other, the only way waiting for them is destruction.
"Sir, I don't know. Zhao Guangyi, the governor of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty, took King Han with him to leave Kaifeng and go south. If the prediction is correct, it must be against His Majesty the King. Now that the information is not smooth, I have asked Yang Qifeng to take the lead and go to find out.
News." Sun Yu has been thinking about this matter recently. Although he can't figure out what extraordinary means Zhao Guangyi has, what should he do if he really wants to change the world?
"Is this happening? Is it possible that he is just like the Duke of the country, raiding the capital?" Xu Yi stroked his beard. This thing was weird. At present, the Song Dynasty was fighting on three fronts, and it was absolutely impossible to launch a large-scale war against the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The only possibility is to use the army stationed in Jiangbei to attack directly like Sun Yu did.
"Did he fly over? With the strength of the Song Dynasty in Jiangbei, it would be difficult to cross the river." Even if Sun Yu had the memory of later generations, he couldn't figure out how to send enough men to attack Jiangning under the eyes of the opponent's navy.
South Bank.
Plane? Submarine? In an era when hot air balloons didn't even exist, the most advanced thing was the glider that Fang Hao used before. He really couldn't figure it out.
"Master Guo, we should change our thinking. If the Song Dynasty really has the strength to destroy the navy of the Southern Tang Dynasty and cross the river, the battle to destroy the Southern Chu Dynasty will not be delayed until after the autumn harvest this year. Since it cannot be done openly and honestly, then it must be
It's a sneaky past." Xu Yi felt that he should step out of his previous thinking circle and look at this matter from another angle.
"Sir, what you mean is that the other party is stowaway? That shouldn't be the case. There are boats cruising on the river day and night. You said there is a chance to stow away two or three small boats with dozens or even hundreds of people. But with this small manpower, I'm afraid even
Jiang Ning couldn't even reach it, so he fell into the checkpoint." Sun Yu pressed his temples with both hands. Despite the many generals under his command, there were almost none who could discuss this matter with him.
"What if someone cooperates and deliberately leaves a loophole for the Song army to get in?" Xu Yi thought about it for a long time. This is the only possibility, and other methods are not feasible.
If the Song Dynasty really sent its elite imperial army to raid Jiangning, then there must be internal agents to clear the way for them.
Xu Yi's words opened a window for Sun Yu. Indeed, he had always been thinking about means, but he had forgotten that the most mysterious thing in the world is the human heart.
"Not good!" Sun Yu suddenly stood up from the stool. He thought of a possibility and his whole body shuddered.
"Has the Duke thought of it too? From the perspective of his subordinates, the Song Dynasty
That Lord Fu Yin may have been preparing for a long time just like us." Xu Yi also thought that since the opponent can leave loopholes in the Yangtze River defense line, then there will be loopholes in the city defense as well.
"Sir, in your opinion, what should I do?" Sun Yu held the Tianshu Sword and paced back and forth. If the other party had planned for a long time and made complete arrangements, I'm afraid Jiang Ning really couldn't hold on.
From the fact that Zhao Guangyi took Han Wang Li Congshan south, we can see that this was by no means a temporary move.
"Of course I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so I will go north immediately!" Xu Yilai became energetic. Maybe this is a good opportunity from heaven. He Xu Yi is lame but his heart is not lame, and he still has ambitions. If Sun Yu can really rise to the top, he also wants to follow the chicken and dog to heaven.
of.
"Loyalty to the king and love to the country?" Sun Yu felt for the first time that this word was ironic.
"Of course, anyone can sit on the throne of the king. Even if something happens to the king, it must be the eldest son who inherits it." Xu Yi flicked his sleeves. This is the orthodox view of Confucianism.
Brother-in-law and other such things are usually done by nomads in the north. On the Confucian side, even if there are no heirs, they are adopted from within the clan.
"Let me think about it!" Sun Yu hesitated. It was the King of Han who single-handedly recommended him to the leader of the country and also contributed a lot later. Otherwise, how could he, Sun Yu, be where he is today?
Even under the banner of loyalty to the king and patriotism, Sun Yu could not bear to fall out with him. Perhaps, he could get along better with the King of Han than the king.
"My lord, do you think it would be more harmonious to get along with the King of Han?" Xu Yi had followed Sun Yu for many years, and with just one glance, he could guess Sun Yu's thoughts from his expression.
"I and King Han have a tacit understanding. We can be regarded as half-confidences. If we can join hands..." Sun Yu suddenly got stuck in the middle of his sentence. What he originally wanted to say was, join hands to fight against the great enemy.
Song, I just remembered that the Song Dynasty supported King Han to ascend to the throne, was it to create obstacles for themselves?
"My lord, let alone the Song Dynasty, no one in this world wants anyone to threaten his authority. Moreover, why did the Song Dynasty cross the river? Isn't it because he wanted to extend the life of South Vietnam and maintain the north-south control of our dynasty?
Is it possible to get back to this situation now?" Xu Yi wondered why his lord was less decisive in killing and killing like a hero in these matters, but more affectionate as a son and daughter.
Who has achieved great things since ancient times, but who has a rock-like heart and is ruthless?
Xu Yi didn't feel that he was with the wrong person because of this. Instead, he felt that he was lucky for three lifetimes. With such a master, at least he would not have a big problem with a good death. He didn't have to think about his preferences every day, and he could still be with everyone on weekdays.
Let's have a drink together and chat.
"Go back? You can't go back!" Sun Yu smiled brightly. Hangzhou was already in hand, and the Qian family had officially surrendered. After all, he was one step faster.
"My lord, if you go north, you must be careful. Once the Song Dynasty sees that the situation is irreversible, I don't know what it will do." Xu Yi warned, if the Lord Fu Yin found out that despite all the calculations, he was still a step too late, I am afraid he would
Rampage.
"As for everything in Hangzhou, I'll leave it to you, sir. I'll be ready to go." Sun Yu couldn't help it. He didn't know what Jiang Ning was like, so he had to go and see it before making a decision.
"Don't worry, Duke of the State. The most convenient way to go to Jiangning is from Huzhou. In my humble opinion, the Duke of the State should take the letter from the King of Yue and directly take this city into his pocket. He should also station troops here and march into the city.
You can attack, retreat or defend." Xu Yi pointed heavily on the map with his hand.
Passing from Huzhou, you can directly reach the border of Changzhou, which is very close to Jiangning.
