There is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

This sentence is not something I said casually.

After thousands of years of development, Jiangnan has become the richest place in Zhao and Song dynasties.

In Hangzhou City, a large number of officials, wealthy businessmen and landlords gathered. It is the most important place for wealth gathering in Jiangnan.

Although he had suffered continuous military disasters before, Fang La set fire to the city and suffered heavy losses.

But the Hangzhou City, which has more than 200,000 households registered alone, still has countless wealth.

Wang Xiao can help the king report to them.

First, we can make a good relationship with the Western Army, and second, we can act in a low-key manner and hide behind the Western Army and continue to accumulate strength.

However, the benefits of collecting must be collected.

It’s boring to blackmail the Western Army, and a group of people can’t squeeze out much oil and water even if they suffer.

Therefore, on the one hand, Wang Xiao had to open a warehouse and release grain, and on the other hand, he encouraged the Western Army to blackmail the rich households in the city.

Hangzhou City originally gathered countless grains and fodders from Jiangnan. After Fang La captured this place, he also treated it as his own nest to manage it.

There are a lot of materials stored in the city.

In the name of helping the victims, I wrote a sentence with the thieves robbed and set fire, and lost countless losses. If you want to intercept the traffic, it depends on Wang Xiao’s conscience.

Regarding Zhao Song, Wang Xiao's conscience has always been relatively dark.

As for asking the Western Army to assist in the salary, they just didn't say it clearly, but all the generals of the Western Army understood it.

If someone has helped you a big deal, you should have made some statement, right?

I don’t let you pay for it yourself, I just let you come forward and help you get money when you are evil people. What is that?

They are the Western Army. After the war, they patted their butts and left, what can the people here do?

Wang Xiao got benefits and gained face.

The Western Army was relieved of the blame and shared the credit.

From this perspective, it was a happy situation.

The generals of the Western Army who had been frowning before immediately smiled happily. After saluting Wang Xiao solemnly, they went out to do their business one after another.

When everyone left, Wang Xiao’s smile gradually faded.

"Come on, it's time to go to Yanyun after the fight. Xijun, hey."

The news of capturing Fang La alive came out, and the morale of each tribe was greatly boosted.

When the news reached Bianliang City, Zhao Ji was excited and danced and immediately ordered Fang La to be escorted to Bianliang City.

Wang Bing and others did not compete for merit, and in fact there was nothing to fight for. They all said that this battle was mainly fought for Wang Xiao, and Fang La was also captured by Wang Xiao.

Gao Qiu and others were in a good mood and happily wrote a letter to Wang Xiao, asking him to continue to work hard to eliminate the remaining Fang La's party, and they would operate for Wang Xiao in the court.

The only thing that is unhappy is Tong Guan.

Tong Guanyan, who felt that he had lost face, ordered all the troops to stop moving forward and started a slanderous lawsuit with Bianliang City.

Fang La was indeed captured, but the remaining Fang La's party was still there. They gathered troops in Qingxi and continued to resist with the second prince Fang Bo.

There was still a war in front, but there was a big quarrel over the competition for credit.

Zhao Ji and others believed that Fang La's main force had been completely defeated in one battle, and Fang La himself was arrested. Then the subsequent suppression of bandits was a small matter.

In order to compete for merit, various factions in the court made a fuss and noisy.

Tong Guan even ordered that the front not be beaten again, and sat down to see Fang La's remaining members recover.

Wang Xiao didn't care about these things.

He trained troops leisurely and contentedly in Hangzhou City.

After more than a month of quarrel, Fang La was tortured in Bianliang City. This quarrel over power and profit was considered to have a result.

Wang Fu, Gao Qiu and others made the final contribution to Wang Xiao capturing Fang La and exterminating the main force of Fang La's army.

The troops of various Western Army gradually retreated from the south of the Yangtze River and prepared for the more important Northern Expedition to Yanyun.

Wang Xiao was appointed as the pacification envoy of Liangzhe Road, responsible for the subsequent removal of Fang La's remaining troops.

Tong Guanyi seemed to have suffered a loss, but after fighting for several months, he lost his troops and generals, but he had no contribution. However, they successfully trapped Wang Xiao on the Liangzhe Road to suppress bandits, and the errand-making task of attacking Yan fell into the hands of the Western Army.

When the news reached Wang Xiao, he was not angry, but instead laughed.

Anyone who has read the history books knows that the Western Army’s defeat of Yan was a great defeat. The heavy losses were simply shocking.

In the end, he spent money to buy Yanyun's land from the Jin people, and the Jin people saw through the fact that the Song Dynasty was weak.

But people in this era don’t know.

In the eyes of the Song people, the Liao Kingdom was already defeated by the Jin people. The land of Yanyun was just a group of defeated soldiers and could not stop the army from conquering.

Moreover, most of the northern regions were Han people, and as long as the army drove over, they would definitely welcome the king's army.

In Tong Guan and the others' eyes, this is a reward that is within reach.

Zhao Ji has announced that the one who succeeds in the attack on Yan will be the king. Tong Guan will be the king.

In Wang Xiao's eyes, he could expand his strength in Jiangnan. He could wait until the Western Army was defeated and then go north and clean up the mess with the attitude of a savior.

Everyone has their own plans. As for who can laugh to the end, it must be Wang Xiao, who has mastered the direction of history.

The Western Army began to gradually withdraw from Jiangnan and gather near Bianliang City to prepare for the northern expedition of Yanyun.

On the first day of the April 1st, Wang Binglai said goodbye and Wang Xiao invited him to dinner.

"The grace of the appeaser, Fang La's affairs. I, Wang Bing, will never forget it. If you have any questions in the future, you only need to send a letter. Wang will never refuse."

Wang Bing is really grateful to Wang Xiao.

If Wang Xiao had not taken the initiative to divide the credit and still covered them up, no one of the following generals could have been able to end up well.

This is not to bring him money together, it is to save his wealth and life.

Wang Xiao nodded and responded, picked up the wine pot and poured him wine, "Wang Tongzheng, after you said that, I really have something I want to ask you for help."

"Please say it."

Wang Xiao smiled and said, "I heard that there was a powerful general under the command of the governor Liu Jie of the Baoxin Army, who was extremely brave. This time, the Sanya agreed to me to build another battalion head with the right wing of the Japanese army. I want to ask this fierce general to be the battalion officer."

"Liu Yanqing?" Wang Bing was slightly stunned, then thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about Han Shizhong?"

Han Shizhong joined the Western Army when he was young, and was known for his bravery and made countless contributions. Although he was not at a high position among the Western Army and was just a subordinate general, his reputation was very famous.

He didn't stand up because there was no one in the court.

Wang Xiao laughed, "It's this person."

The exchange of the imperial guards among the imperial guards is nothing new. Moreover, Han Shizhong's current status is not high, and he can directly take the position of the camp when he comes to Wang Xiao, which is definitely a high promotion.

But the question is whether Liu Yanqing is willing to let him go.

Wang Bing, who was a little embarrassed, saw Wang Xiao's smile and remembered that he had patted his chest and said that he would never refuse any orders. He immediately picked up the wine glass and said, "This matter is for Wang."

"Then thank you for your ruler."

The next day, Wang Xiao left the city to see Wang off.

However, after giving it to the person, he did not leave, but waited outside the city.

Since learning that he was appointed as the pacification envoy of Liangzhe Road, Wang Xiao sent Hu Cheng to Hujiazhuang to pick up Zhao Fujin and Hu Sanniang.

Today is exactly the day they arrived in Hangzhou City.

In the afternoon, several carriages drove slowly along the official road.

Seeing Hu Cheng and others riding a horse next to the carriage, Wang Xiao stood up and greeted him.

"General." Hu Cheng and others stepped forward to salute.

"Thank you for your hard work." Wang Xiao nodded to them and got on the carriage directly.

When he pushed open the car door, he saw Zhao Fujin's shoulders trembling slightly, and tears rolling out of his eyes like broken pearls.

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"You're happy."

Hu Sanniang next to her is still so heroic and handsome, her long legs are so eye-catching even when she is bent in the car.

"I heard that I wanted to pick us up to Hangzhou, so I kept crying happily and stayed up all night."

Wang Xiao couldn't help laughing and walked up to sit next to Zhao Fujin.

He raised his arms and hugged Zhao Fujin and Hu Sanniang, "Don't think too much, I will accompany you well in the future. There are many places to visit in Hangzhou. Let's take you around for two days first."

The Western Army was gradually retreating, and the two battalions of troops under Wang Xiao were surrounding Qingxi, but the blockade line was not firm at all.

The remnants of Fang La's troops gathered in Qingxi County. The brigade had difficulty entering and leaving, but the team of people had no obstacles to entering and leaving.

Wang Xiao told the public that he was putting pressure on them and letting them collapse on their own.
