Chapter 167 Fang Guoan's hesitation

The generals participating in the meeting finally reached an agreement and sent troops!

Wu Zheng originally wanted to restore Songjiang Prefecture in one fell swoop, but now the situation has changed and he can only postpone it.

Sent to Huzhou, the two divisions of Wujiang remained unchanged, and the island division of Lu urgently ordered to go to Lin'an.

Wu Zheng personally led more than 10,000 people down the river and attacked Fuyang.

Li Ruhai led 5,000 people to cross the Qiantang River to assist in the defense of Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhou Dahu led 3,000 people from Hangzhou Bay to Cao'e River, returned to Shangyu, met Chen Sheng, and Qian Qiaogong's troops helped to assist in the defense of Shangyu.

Wu Zheng repeatedly took care of him. If something happened, Li Ruhai would be allowed to retreat to Pinggangshan and wait for his support.

He also instructed the people of Wuzhuang and the people on the beach to withdraw them to the mountain village to resettle them.

For a time, the army of Hangzhou City set off one after another. After the celebration, people's hearts were in panic again.

Fuyang, Qiantang River is no longer called Qiantang River, but Fuchun River.

There is a narrow area of ​​river surface here, which is particularly narrow.

During the dry season, the river water is only knee-deep, and people can wade through it, let alone cavalry.

Therefore, Fang Guoan focused on defense here and hoarded an army of ten thousand people.

Not to mention it, he really lets him hoard it right.

Duoduo's troops, who fled outside the Genshan Gate in Hangzhou, arrived at the other side.

After learning about it, Fang Guoan immediately ordered the fight and ordered the draw of support from various departments.

Because each unit defends along the river, the distance is only tens of miles at the farthest distance, in Fang Guoan's view, it is not difficult to block more than 7,000 people from Duoduo.

But what Fang Guoan did not expect was that Duoduo did not attack immediately, but sent someone to send a message to meet Fang Guoan.

The location is on a small island east of this narrow area. This island is unknown, but because it is made up of alluvial mud and sand in the river, the local people call it Xinsha Island.

Fang Guoan did not refuse and took a boat with a hundred people.

In Fang Guoan's mind, in times of troubled times, there are multiple friends and multiple ways, so why bother offending others?

Duoduo was generous and brought only fifty people to show sincerity.

After meeting, Fang Guoan suddenly wondered whether he should suddenly win Duoduo. Such a great achievement was enough to make him... Well, Fang Guoan shook his head slightly, not thinking about it anymore.

Because he saw Boro leading thousands of cavalry on the other side, staring at him with a fierce look.

At this distance, when the cavalry wades and charges at most, it is almost impossible for him to take Duoduo back to the camp by himself.

"Duke of Yue, I have heard of the famous name for a long time." Duoduo laughed loudly and came to Fang Guoan.

Fang Guoan bowed awkwardly: "Fang has long admired Prince Yu's reputation, but he didn't expect to see him here today."

Duoduo jumped off his horse and walked forward a few steps: "I capsized in the gutter two days ago, and was caught off guard by the unfilthy Wu Zheng. I think the Duke of Yue would not change his mind because of this, right?"

As he said that, his eyes shot sharply at Fang Guoan.

It’s true that Fang Guoan really changed his mind at this time.

No one wants to be a slave, right?

The connection and secret communication between Boluo is just to find a way out for yourself.

But now, not to mention the great victory in Wu's battle for Hangzhou City, Jiaxing Mansion has been restored. The famous Duoduo in front of him was ruined outside Hangzhou City and was beaten to death by a child.

It can be said that the Qing court had almost lost control over the prefectures around Hangzhou.

At this time, how could Fang Guoan still want to surrender?

But Fang Guoan's nature is a speculator, and he doesn't want to completely cut off this path. Who knows when the world has reversed again?

So, after hearing Duoduo’s question, Fang Guoan smiled and said, “Prince Yu is so serious, so why is Fang a person who is fickle.”

Duoduo seemed to believe it, and he laughed and said, "In this way, Duke Yue is sincere."

“That’s nature, that’s nature.”

"Okay!" Duoduo praised loudly, "that the king said clearly that the king of Japan is here to lead a large army here to make an IOU way to Duke Yue."

Fang Guoan was shocked. He heard Duoduo mention borrowing a way, how could he not understand what Duoduo wanted to do?

For a moment, cold sweat oozed out from his forehead, and Fang Guoan said, "What does Prince Yu mean?"

Duoduo's eyes flashed, he glanced at Fang Guoan and asked, "Duke Yue is a man who leads troops, how can he not understand my intention?"

"But...but once you borrow this road, Fang is equivalent to extermination from the court...this..."

Duoduo's face turned gloomy in an instant, "What? Does Duke Yue still have to step on two boats at the beginning and end?"

"No, no..." Fang Guoan was wise in a hurry, "Fang thought that Prince Yu now has only more than 7,000 people. Could it be that he really needs to attack Shaoxing Prefecture with these thousands?"

Duoduo replied: "I am indeed short of troops under my command. Isn't there more than 30,000 troops under the command of Duke Yue? At this time, Duke Yue followed my counterattack and destroyed Zhu Yihai's pseudo-death dynasty, which was easy to take things out. Why, is Duke Yue not happy?"

Fang Guoan cursed in his heart, happy that he would be happy about your thighs.

It turns out that what Duoduo wants is not only a way to borrow, but also a counterattack.

But in this way, the charge of surrendering to the enemy will be made public to the world. If Zhu Yihai is really destroyed, it would be fine. If he fails, he will be criticized by thousands of people and be scolded by thousands of people.

A dignified Duke of the country, with more than 30,000 troops under his command, was stationed on the east bank of Qiantang River, and he was in a blink of an eye and destroyed the emperor with his backhand. This kind of bad reputation is...

Fang Guoan really wanted to cry at this time.

But being embarrassed and feeling uncomfortable is one thing, and really wanting to break up with Duoduo is another thing.

Seeing Fang Guoan hesitating, Duoduo said coldly: "Military situation is urgent, I hope the Duke of Yue will make a quick decision."

Fang Guoan was urging this, but he had three points of courage. He looked up at Duoduo and asked, "What if Fang doesn't respond?"

Duoduo was not surprised at all and waved his hand casually: "If you don't respond, I immediately ordered a large army to attack. The river water is not as deep as my waist and cannot stop my Imperial Cavalry. How can Duke Yue stop it?"

Fang Guoan had already spoken, but he became bolder. "There are more than 30,000 troops under Fang. Even if he attacked one with five or one, Prince Yu would not be able to get it."

Duoduo sneered lightly: "Maybe. But have you ever thought that after this bloody battle with me, how many more than 30,000 people under your command will not be left behind? I am not exaggerating to say that at most half. Now you have more than 20,000 people under your command of Duke Xingguo, so there is no need to mention Wu Zheng in Hangzhou. What should Duke Yue do if he is 60,000 or 70,000 people?"

Fang Guoan was silent. He knew that Duoduo was not exaggerating. He really wanted to fight the Qing army here today. Even if he won in the end, no more than 30,000 people would be left.

Do you really want to be loyal to the court and make wedding clothes for others? Fang Guoan kept asking himself in his heart.
