Hangzhou was in chaos, and the government and the country were in unprecedented panic.

When Tong Shimin made a memorial, saying that the Hulien Army attacked Jiangnan West Road, Hangzhou was not concerned about it, because Nanchang was too far from Hangzhou and could not feel the bloody and tense atmosphere. However, after only more than twenty days, Tong Shimin reported again, Li Hu personally led the army to conquer, Nanchang fell, the entire Jiangnan West Road was lost, and the Jiangnan army was outnumbered and forced to retreat to the Chizhou front line. Hangzhou realized that the problem was serious. Li Hu personally led the Hulien Army to attack Jiangnan, which was enough to show that Li Hu's goal this time was not a small Jiangnan, but the entire Southeast.

The old emperor did not hesitate and asked Tong Guan to draw reinforcements from the Yangtze River defense line to guard Hangzhou and resolutely block the Hu Lie Army. This is a typical example of ignoring the head and tail, treating the head and foot pain, so Tong Guan carefully analyzed to the old emperor that Li Hu was good at fighting in wars, and the solid was solid, and the real was weak, fighting from Changsha to Hangzhou. The journey was more than 2,000 miles, the terrain was complex, and the transportation of food and grass was inconvenient, and the possibility of success was slim, so it was clearly a feint attack, which was to deter Hangzhou, forcing Hangzhou to move south from the Yangtze River defense line, thus creating opportunities for the Jiangbei army to cross the river. Tong Guan was therefore very confident and begged the old emperor not to panic, stay in Hangzhou, and do whatever he should do, and he guaranteed that Hangzhou was as solid as a soup.

After all, Tong Guan is a veteran who has been through the battlefield for a long time and has outstanding strategies. Of course the old emperor believed him, so he thought about it repeatedly and reluctantly agreed. However, in case of prevention, he asked Tong Guan to assemble the garrison army and prepare to evacuate at any time. Tong Guan said it was okay, but he was still very scared. He had been dealing with Li Hu for such a long time, from "friends" who exploited each other to "enemy" who died and knew Li Hu's strength, so he secretly sued Dong Yun and immediately transferred a navy army to Hangzhou. At the moment of crisis, in order to retreat from the water to Fujian and Guangnan.

The Huli Army's horse army was sharp and fast. If you want to ensure safety during the evacuation, it would be the most reliable way to go on the water. At the same time, he urgently told Tong Shimin and returned to Hangzhou quickly to prevent accidents. As for the army, he handed it over to Lu Yi, who unified the Yangtze River defense line. He wrote a letter to Lu Yi and roughly explained his guess about the situation of the battle. If Lu Yi was asked to defend the Yangtze River at all costs, the southeast would be as stable as a rock and would definitely be able to repel Li Hu's attack.

The old emperor stayed with fear, but the civil and military officials in the court saw the situation clearly. With Tong Guan covering the sky with only one hand, the morale of the army and the people had already collapsed, and the defeat was just a matter of time. Li Hu obviously understood the situation in the southeast thoroughly and chose an excellent opportunity to go south, which was enough to give the Southeast a fatal blow. Therefore, they did not believe that Tong Guan was talking nonsense and fled south one after another, with a large and prominent official target. They asked their families to evacuate first. So, from Hangzhou to Fujian, to Guangnan, the water and land routes were soon filled with fleeing crowds. The atmosphere of despair was like dark clouds covering Hangzhou, which was suffocating.

At this moment, even worse news came one by one. The Hu Lie Army rushed into Jiangnan East Road, captured Raozhou, and then entered Shezhou. At this moment, even the idiots knew that the Hu Lie Army was close and Hangzhou could not be saved.

The old emperor was furious and scolded Tong Guan so hard that he was bloody. Tong Guan forced himself to calm down and did not dare to insist. While arranging the old emperor to retreat from the water to Guangnan, he ordered Lu Yi to immediately draw reinforcements down the canal and guard Hangzhou.

The old emperor evacuated Hangzhou on a navy ship. Tong Guan and Zhang Bangchang accompanied him. Zhang Shizheng led the garrison to protect the emperor, the emperor, the court and the army suddenly left, which made Hangzhou fall into extreme chaos in an instant. The bureaucrats, merchants and most of the fearful people quickly joined the fugitive army. Before leaving Hangzhou, Tong Guan sent the army to Baizhangshan to block the Tiger Lieutenant Army to scatter and disappeared overnight without a trace.

On the 28th, Zhe Kecun led the 15th Army of the Tiger and the 16th Army to cross mountains and ridges, carefully all the way, and successfully entered the territory of Hangzhou. At dusk that day, crossed Baizhang Mountain and surrounded Changhua City.

There were no defenders in Changhua City. All the bureaucrats fled, and most of the people in the city fled to the mountains outside the city, with an empty city.

Zhe Kecun was secretly shocked and did not dare to enter the city. He ordered Murong Xiahan and Zhe Ke to lead the 16th army of Tiger and Lieutenant to attack the enemy overnight, looking for the rebels to block the army.

The messenger reported to Li Hu and Mao Jun overnight. The two were worried that Zhe Ke would be in danger, so they all set up a large army and quickly advanced towards Hangzhou.

On the 28th, Roland led his army to capture Xuancheng. The 30,000 troops were unstoppable and encountered no resistance. After taking Xuancheng, the army only rested for two hours and then killed Wuhu.

On the 29th, sixty miles away from Wuhu, the Tiger Lie Army met the rebels. The Tiger Lie Army's horse army was overwhelming, like a sea of ​​terrifying momentum. The rebels were no match for the enemy at all and collapsed instantly.

That afternoon, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army captured Wuhu and cut off the rebels' Yangtze River defense line.

Luo Lan sent people across the river to the north, quickly reported to Yue Fei, asking him to dispatch his main force to cross the river from Wuhu and attack Jiangning as fast as possible.

On the 29th day, Zhe Kecun captured Yu Qian and surrounded Lin'an City, only more than 100 miles away from Hangzhou.

Mao Jun led the main force to follow up and accelerated the speed of advancement.

Li Hu was worried that something would happen, so he led the Hu Guards to speed up and rushed to the front line. By the time he met Zhe Kecun, Lin'an City had already been taken down.

Zhe Kecun, Murong Xiahan looked both excited and frightened when he saw Li Hu, because the facts were completely different from their imagination. They never dreamed that Nan Zheng would win the victory in this incredible way.

"According to people in Lin'an City, Hangzhou was in chaos a dozen days ago, and a large number of people began to flee south, and the army did not even see a shadow." When Zhe Kecun spoke, he seemed to be sleepwalking. He himself couldn't believe that this was true. The Southeast court and the army did not resist and fled like this.

"Is there any news about the old emperor and Tong Guan?" Li Hu frowned and asked. He had already felt something was wrong. Judging from the current situation, the old emperor and Tong Guan must have fled south with their troops. Then even if the Huli Army wiped out the rebels on the Yangtze River defense line in Liangzhe and the two areas, they still had to go south to chase them. Therefore, the final end of the southern expedition would be delayed, and the pacification of the southeast would be pushed forward again and again.

"It is said that they ran away, they had already escaped, and now even Hangzhou is an empty city."

"This news is accurate?" Li Hu asked.

"The scout has passed, and accurate news will come soon."

"Send scouts to Suzhou and Huzhou to closely monitor the movements of the Yangtze River defense line to prevent the rebels from going south and running away while the chaos is taking advantage of the chaos." Li Hu instructed, "Tell Mao Shuai, Dao Shuai, Wang Shuai, please speed up, be sure to arrive in Lin'an tonight, and be sure to kill to Hangzhou city tomorrow."

"Master, are we pushing towards Hangzhou overnight?" Murong Xiahan asked.

"Pushing overnight should be fast, you must be fast." Li Hu said decisively, "Order Fang Jin to lead the five thousand tiger guards to open the road first and kill Hangzhou."

In the early morning of the 30th, the Tiger Guards of Fangjin approached Hangzhou City.

That night, the city of Hangzhou was in chaos. Yan Qing, who had been lurking in the city in advance, launched a sneak attack with a group of wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants, and opened one of the city gates.

Fang Jin took advantage of the situation to advance, and the defenders in the city abandoned the city and fled. The tiger and lieutenant soldiers captured the city of Hangzhou without any blood.

In the early morning of the 30th, Li Hu and Zhe Kecun led their troops to the city of Hangzhou. Before they entered, Yan Qing went out of the city to greet them.

When Li Hu met Yan Qing, he worked hard and immediately appointed Yan Qing as the Transportation Commissioner of Liangzhe, who was fully responsible for the administrative and financial power of Liangzhe.

Yan Qing briefly explained what happened in Hangzhou and the escape of the rebels in the southeast. "At present, both Jiangnan and Zhejiang have fallen into unprecedented chaos. After our main force crossed the Yangtze River and headed south, we can pacify Jiangnan and Liangzhe in the shortest time. However, due to the rebellion in the southeast and some troops fled to Fujian and Guangnan, it will take some time if we want to pacify the entire southeast."

Li Hu had already made this preparation, he nodded slightly and asked, "After you arrived in the Southeast, you received strong help from Qin Hui and Li Shishi. Where are these two people now?"

"Qin Hui had the opportunity to stay, but he thought that the general needed him when he pacified Fujian and Guangnan, so he withdrew with the old emperor." Yan Qing smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes. "As for Li Shishi, she had already fulfilled her long-cherished wish and became the old emperor's favorite concubine, and accompanied the old emperor."

Li Hu reached out and patted Yan Qing's arm, shook his head, looked helpless, and whispered: "There are gains and losses, this is what happens in this world."

"Before leaving Hangzhou, Li Shishi came to see me specially. He wanted to ask me to forward a letter, but she thought about it again and burned it in front of me."

"I know what she wants." Li Hu smiled, "I will satisfy her wish."

On the afternoon of the 30th, Mao's army led the main force to Hangzhou. At this point, the army on the West End of the South End successfully completed the attack target.

Li Hu ordered the appointment of Mao's army as the envoy of the Southeastern routes and Zhang Guanyu as the deputy envoy, and was fully responsible for the military in the Southeast. He appointed the commander-in-chief of the Wu Chitian Navy, and immediately took Hangzhou as the base to build the Hulie Navy.

On the same day, Li Hu received news that the rebels on the Yangtze River defense line were retreating, and an army retreated to Suzhou and was currently advancing along the canal to Xiuzhou (Jiaxing).

Li Hu ordered Zhe Kecun, and Wang Gui led his army north to block the attack.

On the night of the thirty days, Yue Fei received a letter from Luo Lan in Jiangbei Commando Camp. He was overjoyed and immediately ordered Wang Dazhong's front army and Wang Ju's Tiger Fleet 14th Army, and the 15th Army, rushed to Wuhu and crossed the river south from Wuhu.
