At this time, Zheng Zhi and Wang Hanzhi had already sat down at the outer hall of the yamen, and the soldiers and officials on both sides were also full of seats.

"King Wang, how many permanent imperial guards are there in the imperial court on Liangzhe Road?" Zheng Zhi's question was also true that Zheng Zhi knew very little about the situation in the southern part of the Song Dynasty. Logically speaking, there were large-scale garrisons on each road, such as Qinfeng Road, and border prefectures were stationed, but they would also stockpile heavy troops in Qinzhou, which was considered as a mobile force and temporary gathering of troops.

It is different in the south. There are actually not many military generals stationed in the prefectures, and some small cities only have yamen and no imperial guards stationed. The main military forces of the Song Dynasty were in the north, and the main military expenditure was naturally in the north. From Xihe Lanhuang to Qinfeng to Hebei, the main place where the imperial guards stationed outside Tokyo were stationed.

"The permanent garrison of Liangzhe is 5,000 imperial guards, and the troops are supervised by Yan Tan. They have been killed by Fang La in Qingxi County." Wang Hanzhi shook his head as he said.

Zheng Zhi heard the words, but there was nothing to say. On one road, there were only five thousand troops stationed, and they were annihilated by Fang La, who had just started, and even the main general was killed. It can be seen that the combat power was so low that Fang La who had just started did not even have a few real weapons. He could even wipe out five thousand imperial guards and kill the main general of the imperial guards.

"Grandpa Wang, I am ordered to suppress the thieves this time and take over Jiangning's defense. I also asked Grandpa Wang to gather all the soldiers in the city and read out the maps in the yamen. This is convenient for combat. What do you think?" Zheng Zhi was not polite, and at this time, he could not help but sway.

"This is natural. Now the safety of millions of people in Jiangning is all delivered to the hands of Mr. Zheng. I hope Mr. Zheng will go smoothly in the war." Wang Hanzhi spoke to Zheng Zhi, and immediately turned his head to order his left and right, "As a commander, you go down and order the school. All the people and horses gather at this yamen. After ordering the school, please ask Mr. Zheng to review it in person."

A member of the iron-armed military man stood up and bowed and replied, "As for the order!"

Then the military man went out to gather people. Wang Hanzhi began to order the left and right again, asking the clerk to find the map and ask the advisor to arrange food and accommodation for the military man under Zheng Zhi.

Not long after, the map was placed in front of Zheng Zhi, and all the maps of silk and brocade were spread out on the ground.

With the map, everything becomes more intuitive. Now Fang La's territory is a line from east to west with Hangzhou as the benchmark point. Almost the entire Liangzhe Road has fallen, and the central and southern part of Jiangnan Road has basically fallen. Xuanzhou has been broken, and only Jiangning Prefecture, Changzhou, Suzhou and other places are left.

Fang La accounts for three-quarters of this most important economic lifeline of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Zhi slowly looked around the map, and Wu Yong and Lu Da and others came up to see it. Zheng Zhi could still see it clearly and clearly, and Wu Yong could also read the text on the map. Several Western Army men such as Lu Da had no idea about Jiangnan and frowned.

Wang Hanzhi made arrangements and waited for Zheng Zhi to look at the map for a long time before approaching and asking, "Mr. Zheng, can you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zheng Zhi raised his head and looked at Wang Hanzhi, whose hair and beard were white, and said, "I didn't think much about the strategy of defeating the enemy. Now I am not familiar with the three thousand iron cavalry, so I should not act rashly. I can only wait for General Yang to have news before I can act according to the opportunity. However, the bandit army from Fang La north who came to Jiangning can break it first to prevent Fang La from expanding its territory north and to ensure that Jiangning is worry-free."

Wang Hanzhi heard the words and hurriedly bowed: "This is the best, but the thief has broken Hangzhou. If Jiangning is defeated again, Jiangnan and Zhejiang will all fall into the enemy. If Jiangning is worry-free, Fang La will not be able to escape from this Jiangnan area. He can only wait for the arrival of the imperial army to join him."

Wang Hanzhi said so much, but in the final analysis, Zheng Zhi saved Jiangning and did not prevent his 60s and 70s from his old prefect. Chen Jiandu, the commander of Liangzhe Road, was killed in battle, and the chief official of Liangzhe Road, died in battle, but Hangzhou magistrate Zhao Ting escaped, which also gave Wang Hanzhi a very difficult choice. If the bandits really arrived at Jiangning Prefecture, Jiangning Prefecture would not be able to defend. Where can Wang Hanzhi go is the real dilemma.

Zheng Zhi really didn't understand Wang Hanzhi's theory. If Fang La wanted to have a territory, going west and northwest, it was all the direction of development. Jiangnan West Road and Huainan West Road could be attacked anywhere, and they were all relatively rich places. It was meaningless to block a Jiangning Prefecture in the north, with a developed water system in the south and a smooth road, so Jiangning could not stop anything.

"Grandpa Wang, there is one thing to do at this time, which is to send people familiar with the terrain of Jiangning to find out where Shi Bao is and where Fang Qi Buddha is." Zheng Zhi has always been a scout first in war, and military intelligence is extremely important to Zheng Zhi.

"Natural, you can ask the commander to do this matter. Later, I will review the people and the horses. Zheng Xianggong gave me the order." Wang Hanzhi was naturally obedient to Zheng Zhi at this time. Wang Hanzhi was 66 or 7 years old and had never seen any swords and weapons that had been reading for his whole life. If Wang Hanzhi faced Fang Qi Buddha alone, he would be helpless. Not only Wang Hanzhi, but also the officials of the prefectures in the entire Jiangnan and Zhejiang provinces, I am afraid that most of them will be like this, with only one word: helpless.

After a long time, the sun was about to set, and the soldiers of Jiangning outside the yamen were finally assembled. Zheng Zhi came to the yamen and saw three or four hundred people scattered. Zheng Zhi shook his head repeatedly when he saw more than 100,000 people in Jiangning Prefecture City, and only 3 or 400 troops were stationed. No wonder he could order the school personnel at this yamen.

In later generations, an ordinary prefecture-level city, armed police, firefighters and police officers had thousands of people together. At this time, a Jiangning Prefecture City had only 300 or 400 troops. No wonder Fang La was so simple to conquer the city and occupy 52 counties in a few months. I am afraid that the bandits would be captured wherever they went.

Even if Fang La rides a horse around the six prefectures and 52 counties, it will take several months.

Looking at the hundreds of soldiers in front of him who were dressed in bright clothes but not armor, Zheng Zhi had no intention of tutoring and said, "Chief the commander."

The Cheng commander was named Cheng Yang, and even the commander of the Jiangning Prefecture's military commander. When Zheng Zhi commanded tens of thousands of Western troops and 20,000 troops to Huizhou, he was just this official position. The Weizhou military commander was half a level lower than the Jiangning Prefecture's military commander.

Cheng Yang heard Zheng Zhi call him, and hurriedly turned to him. He also saw that Zheng Zhi looked a little unkind and stopped beside Zheng Zhi.

"This time you will only have one task, and immediately lead someone to take Commander Yan to investigate the movements of the bandit army. Everything will be followed by Commander Yan's orders." Zheng Zhi knew that these soldiers in Jiangning Mansion were useless, and the only purpose was that these locals were familiar with each other and were just right to find out the news. Even if they were to find out the news, Zheng Zhi was not at ease, so he asked Yan Qing to follow him.

When Yan Qing heard the words, he walked forward a few steps forward to greet Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang was not tall, but he was a little older, only about forty or fifty years old. Seeing that Commander Yan looked like a young man, he had to follow the commander Yan's orders, he didn't know what Cheng Yang felt in his heart.

When Zheng Zhi saw the two of them, he spoke again: "Luda ​​comes forward to obey the order."

Zheng Zhi issued a military order directly at the yamen gate. When Lu Da heard the words, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Take all city defenses, all city gates are martial law, and all people entering and leaving the city will be investigated strictly. Once a person with weapons is found, he will be imprisoned immediately." Zheng Zhi's order was to prevent internal and external cooperation. The battle in Zhujiazhuang made Zheng Zhi extremely afraid of this method of breaking the city.

"Get orders!" Lu Da replied loudly. As soon as the military order was issued, everyone immediately had another spirit. Not only Lu Da, but all the men of the Western Army behind him stood straight and straight, even Mi Zhenwu, who had been following the people, stood up a little straight.

Everyone instantly exuded a solemn aura, which made Wang Hanzhi take two steps back and his expression changed.

Cheng Yang seemed to have been affected, and he stood up a little unconsciously.

For a moment, the aura at the entire yamen became completely different.

"Shi Jin obeyed the order and let a hundred racquets and the Fangyuan outside Jiangning City twenty miles, day and night." Zheng Zhi said again, but the battle to destroy Fang La was completely different from the battle to Xixia, and it was not connected with the battle to Liangshan. Zheng Zhi first arrived in Jiangning and was completely blind, so he wanted to take the initiative in his hands, and intelligence work was naturally the first priority.

"Get orders!" Shi Jin stepped forward to take the order.

Zheng Zhi issued an order one by one, and almost all the military and military soldiers had tasks, with only 3,000 troops in total. Facing the Jiangning City with a population of 200,000, it was really difficult to imagine how Jiangning City, which is under the control of the No. 300,000 imperial guards, usually guarded. I think someone could not defend the thief overturning the city wall.

After receiving the order from the yamen, the soldiers of Cheng Yang were dispersed, and the soldiers under Cheng Yang were naturally divided into several groups to assist Lu Da and others in their work.

Wang Hanzhi saw that Zheng Zhi was orderly arrangements and felt much more at ease. He stepped forward and smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. I admire him!"

"The King of Wang was awarded the award." Zheng Zhi also bowed his hand and replied, actually because he was mostly worried, just because he didn't even have a plan in his mind at this time.

"Today, I arranged a banquet to greet Mr. Zheng. It was not too early, so how about I'll go with me?" Wang Hanyi looked sincere and reached out to ask for help. This kind of etiquette was natural.

Zheng Zhi did not refuse to accept it, and he reached out to invite him, so he followed Wang Hanzhi out of the yamen.

Wang Hanzhi was walking in front of him, and suddenly he was slower and side by side with Zheng Zhi, and wanted to introduce the geography and humanities of Jiangning Prefecture City to Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi was interested in listening. Compared with this Jiangning, it was a famous historical city. From the end of the Han Dynasty to later generations, Jiangning has always been famous.

"Mr. Zheng, if you want to talk about Jiangning, you have to say that the Qinhuai River is the Qinhuai River. The ten miles of Qinhuai have been a place where literati and poets have been lingering since ancient times. Today, we also want to sail on the Qinhuai style. It is not in vain that Mr. Zheng came from this trip to the original road." Wang Hanzhi was also a little proud of his ability to rule Jiangning.

Zheng Zhi nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Taking advantage of the evening light, he looked at the river beside him. It didn't look very spacious. However, the Qinhuai River passes through the city. The charm of the Jiangnan water town on both sides is really elegant, and it has a bit more flavor than that on both sides of the Bian River.

Passing an alley, Wang Hanzhi suddenly stopped and asked, "Mr. Zheng, where do you think this is?"

Zheng Zhi heard the question and looked at it. It was just an alley entrance. It was nothing strange. However, the buildings in this alley seemed a little more generous than other places. He didn't think much about it and replied: "I don't know, so I'll ask Mr. Wang to solve the problem."

Wang Hanzhi laughed and stroked his beard and said, "This place is Wuyi Lane. It has been the place where wealthy families live since ancient times. The style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties is still there, and now there are many literati families and places where books are fragrant."

Zheng Zhi saw Wang Hanyi as if he was satisfied, so he naturally remembered some things, and said: "The wild grass and flowers beside the Zhuque Bridge, and the sunset at the Wuyi Lane is slanted. In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people."

Zheng Zhi's impression seemed to be that he learned in elementary school in his previous life. Wuyi Lane was presented to Zheng Zhi for a thousand years, and Zheng Zhi couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Haha... It's exactly that, it's this Wuyi Lane. Liu Yuxi made a mistake in writing that Wang Xie should be Wang Xie, and this is the name of a man." Wang Hanzhi didn't know where to hear the anecdotes. However, he said that Wang Xie did not refer to the two major families of Wang Xie of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but to refer to Wang Xie.

Zheng Zhi didn't know what Wang Xie was saying, and didn't say much, but just stood up and walked forward.8)
