Chapter 1373 Harvest
Li Zhongyi has been breaking through Xiuzhou for five days, but he has not attacked Hangzhou in Xi Prefecture in one go.
Qian Chu was feeling uncomfortable and quickly found the prime ministers to discuss the next countermeasures.
Among the prime ministers, except for Xu Zaisi, who was a firm resistance faction, all other prime ministers actually meant to surrender simply.
As a result, Qian Chu became even more anxious. He knew very well that everyone could surrender, but if he surrendered, he would probably not have a good end.
Li Zhongyi was in the north, not only staring at the Southern Tang, but also surpassing the Southern Tang and taking action against the Wu and Yue Kingdom first, which was obviously beyond Qian Chu's expectations.
According to Qian Chu's original idea, as long as the Southern Tang Dynasty is still there, the country of Wu and Yue can be as stable as Mount Tai.
However, ideals are full and reality is skinny. Li Zhei Zhongyi didn't play according to the rules of the card and caught Qian Chu off guard.
Within two days, Qian Chu fell ill due to great concern!
Qian Chu fell ill and the military and people of the entire Wu Yue Kingdom were also shaken.
Li Zhongyi, who had been watching Xiuzhou for a few days, received a large number of letters from the surrendered factions in Wu and Yue. Apart from the letters, the surrendered factions of Wu and Yue Kingdom all sent people to deliver their own unique beauties.
What's more, even sent the legitimate son of the family to Li Zhongyi to act as a hostage to surrender to sincerity.
"Hehe, the trees have not fallen, the monkeys have dispersed!" Li Zhongyi glanced at the mountains of requests to surrender the books on the desk, and laughed and joked.
Han Xianglan realized that Li Zhongyi was in a good mood, so she put down the brush in her hand and squatted and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, the entire Wu Yue Kingdom is about to be at your fingertips!"
Li Zhongyi laughed and said, "What is the only thing that Wu Yue Kingdom has to say? If the powerful and powerful people from the Khitan Kingdom send them to ask for a letter of surrender, then I will be really happy."
"Your Majesty, I think there will definitely be such a day." Han Xianglan's appearance seemed to be more confident than Li Zhongyi.
Han Xianglan knew Li Zhongyi's lofty ambitions, and she had reason to believe that during Li Zhongyi's lifetime, she would probably completely defeat the Khitans and drive them away.
Li Zhongyi could see that Han Xianglan really believed that he would complete the unity of the country and expel the Tartars.
"Okay, then, I will pick one of my sons and become the king of grassland." Li Zhongyi made a joke half-joking and half-serious joke, but Han Xianglan's face changed slightly and then returned to normal.
If Li Zhongyi elected the son of the King of Grassland, it would definitely not be the prince who inherited the country. Then, if Han Xianglan gave birth to a son in the future, she would have a good chance of being sent to be the King of Grassland.
Han Xianglan's face changed very quickly, and Li Zhongyi didn't notice it, so she let her avoid it.
Since the division of troops in Hangzhou Bay, the troops landed from the south of Hangzhou Bay were unified and led by Ma Guangda.
According to the war report sent back the day before yesterday, Ma Guangda has taken over Mingzhou (now Ningbo City) and is moving towards the East Prefecture of Wuyue Kingdom (now Shaoxing City).
Ma Guangda's troops also have more than a dozen 12-pound bronze cannons and dozens of 6-pound cannons. As long as Ma Guangda is not careless and underestimates the enemy and falls into the enemy's trap, there is no possibility of defeating the war.
Li Zhongyi was very cautious in fighting. Ma Guangda was more cautious in commanding the battle than Li Zhongyi. To put it bluntly, the chance of Ma Guangda falling into the trap was almost zero.
When the Li family army went on an expedition, the Throat Camp had always taken the lead. When the troops were divided in Hangzhou Bay, Ma Guangda had 60% of the Throat Army. If he was still ambushed by the enemy, it could only be said that it was God's will.
So far, all the battles that Li Zhongyi could win were won without any suspense. Li Zhongyi and Li family army have never lost a battle that should not have lost.
The most effective ones are actually two major institutions, one is the strong team of senators, and the other is the establishment of the General Senate Department.
It is very different from the feudal warlords. In the quasi-modern Li family army, as long as they follow the rules of the regulations, it is not that important who will be the chief general of the army.
Of course, Ma Guangda was also the long-time general who followed Li Zhongyi to fight south and north. He led his troops to fight, and Li Zhongyi had nothing to worry about.
In fact, including Yang Lie, Liao Shanhe, Ma Guangda, Liu Heyang and Song Yunxiang, they would be appointed as the chief generals of the first army by Li Zhongyi in a conscious manner.
It is impossible to build the Roman city overnight. The senior commander of the army is of great importance, and Li Zhongyi really needs to spend a lot of effort and cultivate it slowly.
The experience of commanding large corps to combat and small-scale confrontation is largely incompatible.
In history, Bai Qi and Han Xin, who commanded large corps to fight and won many victories, were both rare military geniuses.
In the Li family army, except for Yang Lie who is a genius who learns without a teacher, other generals also need to be tempered to varying degrees.
"Report to the emperor, someone from the west mansion has come from M. Xifu. He is asking for a meeting outside the door. It is Wang Shanhua, the confidant aide of Qin Hanzheng, who was the deputy chief of the Sixth Army of Wu and Yue.
After Li Zhongyi heard the news, he couldn't help but smile. The system of Wu and Yue was both similar and very different from the powerful Han Dynasty.
Among the Li family army, the top military ranks such as the deputy envoy of the Sixth Army had long been abolished. However, although there were no deputy envoys of the Sixth Army in the Wuyue Kingdom, there were also names for the deployment of the Sixth Army.
To put it bluntly, the deployment of the six armies is already the highest level in the Wu and Yue world. Because, in the Wu and Yue Kingdom, the six armies have never been appointed to deploy.
Li Zhongyi still knew a lot about the righteous man from the Qin and Han dynasties. This man was poor when he was young, but he was destined to learn a lot of skills with an old monk.
During Qin and Hanzheng's military career, the most worthy of boasting record should be the defeat of Lin Renzhao, the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Conquest of Fujian.
At that time, the tyrant kings were in power, and the powerful people in the country were divided into three waves. One wave advocated the abolition of the tyrant kings and established a new king, the other wave advocated the resignation of the Wu Yue Kingdom, which advocated the surrender of Renyi, and the other wave advocated simply returning to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The Wu Yue Kingdom and the Southern Tang Dynasty sent troops almost at the same time, and the commander of the Wu Yue Kingdom was the chief of the Qin and Han dynasties.
As a result, due to the good use of military force in Qin and Hanzheng, he defeated Lin Renzhao, a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and captured most of the Fujian Kingdom. The contribution was extremely great.
However, although Qin Hanzheng was good at using troops, he could not control himself and liked to make remarks about the policies set by the king, which was very unpleasant.
Recently, the Qin family has caused great trouble. Qin Hanzheng's only son saw injustice and actually beat Qian Biao, the adopted son of the king Qian Chu, to death.
Qian Chu was furious and ordered the imperial guards to capture Qin Hanzheng's only son into the Heavenly Prison, waiting to be sentenced to beheaded.
Li Zhongyi was thinking about it, after he entered the Western Prefecture, he released Qin and Han, and asked him to surrender the troops of the states of Wu and Yue.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhongyi was unable to contact Qin Hanzheng, but Qin Hanzheng took the initiative to find the door. Didn’t someone just want to fall asleep when someone sent a pillow?
"Come on, open the middle door and ask Mr. Wang to have a lecture on the West Flower Hall." Li Zhongyi gave Wang Shanhua extremely generously.
To put it bluntly, it is not difficult to defeat the mere Wu Yue Kingdom, especially when there are powerful navy troops.
However, how to digest the territory of Wu Yue as soon as possible and successfully accept its troops, horses, money and food is the top priority that Li Zhongyi is most concerned about.
Since Qin and Han were coming to the door on their own initiative, Li Zhongyi simply gave him extremely high courtesy to prevent Wang Shanhua from feeling neglected and becoming less beautiful.
When Han Xianglan heard that she was going to open the middle door to welcome the distinguished guests, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "Another hero, who is about to fall into the emperor's destiny, is really gratifying!"
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly. There was not a fuel-efficient lamp among his women. Han Xianglan was like this, Ye Xiaolan was like this. As for Li Cuixuan, he was even more smart and scary.
"I'm giving up the king, Danhua, and I'll pay homage to the emperor."
After Wang Shanhua entered the door, he said that he was bowing, but in fact, he only performed a long bow. After all, the conditions of both parties have not yet been reached, and everything is still unknown. Wang Shanhua cannot fall into his own spirit first.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said politely: "Forget it, Mr. Wang, please sit down. Come and see the tea."
Wang Shanhua was not polite to Li Zhongyi at all, and sat directly above the lower head position, as if this place was his own home.
After the maid served tea and fruit and snacks, Li Zhongyi asked Wang Shanhua with a smile: "I don't know why Mr. Wang is from?"
Wang Shanhua bowed and said, "There are only two consequences when coming to Xiuzhou here. One is to send the entire Wuyue Kingdom to the country, and we are all happy; the other is that it will take at least three years and five years before the emperor can pacify the entire Wuyue Kingdom."
When Li Zhongyi heard this, he immediately understood that Wang Shanhua was indeed a master. He obviously understood the current situation of the powerful Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Wu Yue Kingdom.
"I don't know, why sir, why should I teach me?" Li Zhongyi saw that Wang Shanhua must have a long speech, so he simply set up a ladder for him and asked him to say it at once.
"I guess the emperor did not think that Wu Yue was the ultimate goal?" Wang Shanhua drank a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and then began a long discussion, "If the emperor was the one below, he would not have made such a plan. Qian Chu, the king of Wu Yue, had no ambitions, so he was not worth worrying..."
Li Zhong changed his hand to caress the teacup, and he was based on Wang Shanhua's temperament. He listened to him talk endlessly for more than half an hour, but he was not at all unhappy.
Wang Shanhua deliberately said a lot of nonsense, but saw that Li Zhongyi always listened very seriously and did not look displeased.
It is indeed a generation of heroes who have to bow down to the Khitans!
After temptation, Wang Shanhua believed that Li Zhongyi was indeed the hero who achieved great things. This time he slowly got to the point: "My lord has a way to let you easily pacify the entire Wu and Yue Kingdom."
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, and the rich and colorful opera meat was finally served on the table. He tasted the tea and quietly waited for Wang Shanhua to reveal the mystery.
"I have a question below, don't you know if you should ask?" Wang Shanhua wanted to keep it a secret, but heard Li Zhongyi say with a smile, "Sir, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know and say everything."
