As the prime minister, Yuan Dezhao personally inspected the city walls, which shows how much pressure there is in Hangzhou.

In fact, Qianzuo had just sent tens of thousands of people to support Runzhou, but unexpectedly, he was suddenly besieged.

Moreover, he was bombed by huge stone bombs. Even though Qian Chu had been practicing Buddhism for many years, he had to be inexplicably shocked.

Hangzhou City has never experienced military disasters for decades, and was suddenly bombed, and it came from the sea. It was completely unexpected. So many garrisons on land have become decorations.

Qian Chu panicked for a long time in Buddhist studies, but he failed to keep calm: "Amitabha, this equipment is really powerful, and the entire Hangzhou city is trembling. Even if there are many soldiers, I am afraid I can't defend it."

No wonder he was so panicked. Wu Yue Kingdom had never fought for many years. The largest territory expansion in the years was to build Fuzhou. On weekdays, he would follow the Later Zhou Dynasty to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was often abused, just for involvement.

The Tang army destroyed the country one after another, and it was unstoppable.

The key is that the advantage of Wu Yue Kingdom was also slaughtered, and he really had no confidence in Wu Yue Kingdom.

Moreover, the long-term prosperity has made the soldiers of Wu Yue Kingdom low in fighting spirit and weak in their will. Naturally, the bombing that came on this day has made the morale of the soldiers sink more and more. If it weren't for the money, there wouldn't be many people guarding the city.

But asking Qian Chu to surrender and destroy the country is a delusion. The principle of matter is the Central Plains, how can it be other small countries?

"Don't panic!" Yuan Dezhao said calmly: "Although the enemy is fierce, the Tang army's battle to attack Tang was already exhausted. Now it is just forcibly attacking the city. Besides, there are tens of thousands of people in our city, so there is still no problem in defending the city. The royal family has countless kindness for decades, so the people will definitely help.

The trees are so beautiful that the wind will destroy them. The Tang Dynasty will attack so unscrupulously, and the Central Plains will definitely not be able to stand it. It is a matter of time before the troops are sent."

"The soldiers and horses of each state are already on the way, so we can just hold on for a few more days."

"Just keep it."

"Can you keep it?" Qian Chu asked hurriedly.

"As long as Your Majesty is not stingy with the treasury, you can keep it."

Yuan Dezhao said in a deep voice, his eyes bright and energetic.

Qian Chu could only believe this old minister and nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Yuan Dezhao opened the treasury and directly took out 500,000 jin of money and 10,000 pieces of cloth and silk for reward.

No one can refuse money, especially in these five generations of troubled times and the loyalty of the soldiers is limited, money is the best medicine to restore morale.

Tens of thousands of troops were in an instant and morale was high.

Sure enough, two days later, the long bombing caused the gunpowder to be exhausted, but Hangzhou City was not excited because a section of the city wall had collapsed and Hangzhou City was in danger.

Immediately, the Tang army began to prepare for the siege.

But at this time, the benefits of the royal family of the Wu Yue Kingdom guarding the local area were reflected.

When the central government is in trouble, the local governments will provide support quickly without hesitation, which is completely different from the Central Plains vassal states.

Xuande Army, Zhendong, Wusheng, Zhenhai, Yijin, and Wuzhen, a total of 30,000 people were engaged in the battle to fight for the king.

Facing these 30,000 people, Zhou Kui was not afraid at all.

Because these 30,000 people can come in just two or three days, they must be inadequate preparations and lack of horses, so they must have come day and night, and they can be called the Weary Army.

Moreover, it is well known that the military weakness of Wu and Yue Kingdom is weak. Although there are 30,000 people, Zhou Kui's 20,000 naval forces are not afraid, and they even continue to provoke, hoping to fight to the decisive battle.

Unfortunately, as the commander-in-chief of the King-Supervising Army, Qian Hongyi was not fooled, and he still knew it himself.

Because the size of Hangzhou City was too large and Zhou Kui could not completely surround it, the 30,000 troops entered Hangzhou City one after another and then began to defend.

"Damn it, a group of turtles shrank!" Zhou Kui was so angry. So many people were all meritorious. It was a pity that he had just entered the city in vain.

"General, Runzhou City urgently ordered!" At this time, a military order suddenly came.

"Runzhou City is broken?"

Zhou Kui suspected and opened it and saw it was true.

It turned out that Wu Cheng had a deep hatred for the catapult car. He knew that with these catapult carts, Runzhou City would not be able to defend sooner or later, so he simply carried out a raid to damage the catapult carts.

As a result, he was really trapped. The entire army suffered more than half of the losses. He finally returned to Runzhou City. He heard that Hangzhou was besieged. The soldiers and generals had no intention of fighting and had to abandon the city and flee, return to Hangzhou to rescue the siege.

But Li Xin was not so easy for him to run. The imperial guards had undergone years of training and had extremely high running endurance. Moreover, they were still chasing the enemy, and the surrendered army was also excited and reluctant to leave.

He chased and killed two hundred miles before he gave up.

Runzhou and Changzhou were also regained.

"It turns out that he is a famous general. Even a veteran Wu Yue like Wu Cheng is not an opponent."

Zhou Kui respected and envied Li Xin, a private general who started his career with the emperor, and was unable to compare his status, even if the Sea Dragon Army had dominated the sea, it still could not compare.

Continue to look at it, Li Liushou said bluntly that it was unrealistic to destroy Wu and Yue, and he could only force him to surrender to him and let him abandon the Central Plains. If he still did not surrender and could not take down the city of Hangzhou for a while, then he would wait for the battle to come tomorrow.

"That's all!" Zhou Kui shook his head, feeling helpless. The sailors were indeed not good at siegeing the city. Without gunpowder, Hangzhou City was already stable.

Therefore, we can only adopt established policies and threaten him.

After all, Wu Yue Kingdom did not know that Li Xin was preparing to give up the pursuit.

Soon, a Tang envoy came to Wuyue Kingdom and informed him of the fall of Changzhou in Runzhou and the fact that the Wuyue army was hunted for two hundred miles, and then explained several conditions for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"First of all, cut off the ties with the Central Plains, and regard the Tang Dynasty as the sect leader. We pay millions of qians of money every year, and give out millions of qians to reward the Tang army..."

"Secondly, ced Fuzhou and withdraw the army..."

"First, follow the command and send troops to follow the military operations."

"In the end, marry a daughter and become a friend of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty forever..."

As for the two states of Runchang, the Tang envoy did not mention it, and swallowed it in his stomach. He still wanted to be a condition?

Hearing these conditions, the court officials of Wu Yue fell silent in an instant.

In fact, money doesn’t matter. It’s difficult for the Central Plains or the Tang Kingdom to get two million coins at one time, but it’s easy for the Wu and Yue Kingdom.

What is a daughter? Now that it’s only thirty-four, Qian Chu already has three or four daughters, so it’s easy to get married.

Ceding Fuzhou can also be accepted. Anyway, it is an unexpected fortune. Although I am reluctant to give up, I can also accept it.

The only point is to give up the Central Plains and pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to violating the general principles of the Wu and Yue Kingdom.

This is the national policy of Wu Yue State's long-term existence. To date, the appointment of the governor of Lianzhou has to be determined in the name of the Central Plains, which is too difficult.

Qian Chu was instantly confused.
