Lu Yihao looked at Yue Fan: "Are there any shadows of Eastern thieves on the south bank of the Hutuo River?"

Yue Fan shook his head: "It's still calm. No scouts from the Eastern thief were found. The last general also collected dozens of cavalry and placed them along the Hutuo River and the Yellow River. No warnings came. Xuanfu Department should be able to retreat calmly."

When he heard Yue flipped over, Lu Yihao and the generals present were relieved. Before Lu Yihao had ordered, he saw a civil servant in a scorching official uniform rushed in outside the door. It was Chen Gou, who was not very old, but in his thirties, but he heard it early in his career. He passed the Jinshi in less than 20 years old. Now he has reached the sixth rank, so he put on a scorching official uniform.

His official uniforms were covered with mud spots, and it seemed that Pegasus came back from outside the city. "Supervisor Xuan, why are there soldiers and generals who packed their luggage outside the door? Do you want to give up Shenzhou? The people here in Shenzhou are suitable for the people! The Xiaguan just came from Wuqiang County, and the regiment training in Wuqiang County has entered the city to make a large-scale defense! Moreover, their morale is very high, and the equipment is quite excellent. There are many paper armor and Tianjin crossbows, which should be able to withstand for a while.

As for the city, we are more sure of defense. The city was reinforced last year, and the army trained, and the township soldiers were also refined. All kinds of equipment were prepared, and the food and grass were sufficient, which could last for 6 months!"

When Lu Yihao heard this, he just sighed. Chen Go was one of the rare officials in the Song Dynasty who were both civil and military. Under his supervision, Shenzhou was not only in good orderly government affairs, but also in good condition in defense.

It’s a pity that the enemy I face is too powerful! The Eastern Pirates are too many and have many cannons. With the old city walls of Shenzhou, it will take only one or two days to get under the Eastern Pirates’ cannons.

However, it is also good to be able to resist for one or two days. The Xuanfu Department, the Rigorous Department, and the Hejian Government Office are unable to run fast. If there is no one behind the palace, they may be caught up by the East Pirates.

Lu Yihao raised his eyebrows: "I vowed to live and perish with Hebei! Of course, Shenzhou cannot give up. Hunting, with you in Shenzhou, I can go south and mobilize reinforcements. As long as I can hold on for six months, the imperial army will definitely be able to fight back... Shenzhou's military affairs and government affairs will be entrusted to the monarch."

After hearing what Lu Yihao said, looking at the Fushi soldiers who were waiting to set off outside the Xuanfusi Gate, Chen Go could only sigh.

Lu Yihao quickly became aware of the army, but unexpectedly, he just fled in a panic when things happened.

As soon as the Xuanfu Department and thousands of elite new troops left, the morale of the people in Shenzhou was not yet collapsed? Once the people's hearts disperse, how can the city be guarded?

Chen Go just nodded, clasped his fists and walked out. Zhong Shidao wanted to follow and persuade him, but everyone ran away together, but was stopped by Lu Yihao.

"Uncle Yi, hurry up and greet the people from Hejian Mansion Road and leave at night! All light-fitting, only armored equipment and three-day rations, head straight to Daming Mansion! There are tens of thousands of new recruits recruited by Du Gongmei, and there are many armored equipment in Daming Arsenal, which is just right to take them to supplement the army! See if you can meet with Wang Zhengchen there... As long as you can join forces with Wang Zhengchen, Daming Mansion can defend it!"

Zhong Shidao just sighed: "This battle is so fierce, can the court spare us?"

"It's not our fault that Hebei's defeat! It's simply that Hedong has collapsed thousands of miles. It's not easy for us to fight the Eastern thieves with 300,000 and 600,000, and it's not easy for us to support undefeated for several months. As a result, Hedong also made the Eastern thieves a big detour of more than a thousand miles. What are they doing for?"

Chen Go, who walked out of the gate of Shuaisi, happened to meet Sha Zhen, the commander of Shenzhou, and a group of Shenzhou's elders. The so-called elders are actually gentry and celebrities, all of whom are big landlords. Because Hebei has been in chaos in recent years, they do not live in the countryside and move into the impregnable Shenzhou City.

Now that the war is about to burn, I am naturally afraid, but I want to escape but I am reluctant to leave my home's land and property, so I just hold on to the wind.

Today, I knew that the personal soldiers of Xuanfusi were packing up and preparing to run away, and they all had their own plans to decide whether to leave or surrender. It was time to make a decision. I learned that Chen Go back to the city, so I came to inquire. With them, Sha Zhen, the commander of the generals in Hebei for generations.

The commander Sha Zhen was originally in charge of the imperial guards, but now he only has wing soldiers and is a short commander. Although there are still some group training in Shenzhou, how could he fight with the Eastern thieves?

If the Xuanfu Department wants to leave, then Shenzhou may have to surrender...

Looking at a group of frowning gentry, Chen Go could only sigh and whisper: "This is not a place to speak, go to the state office to speak!"

Everyone nodded and followed Chen Go to the Shenzhou Yamen. Of course, they were going to discuss what conditions to surrender to the Great Zhou Kingdom... After all, the Great Zhou was not the Great Jin Kingdom, and they were also a country of Chinese etiquette. They just took a little evil path and did not rule the world with the scholars and officials, but created a citizen country, which was probably the same as the Western Zhou people.

As long as we don’t do this in Shenzhou and let everyone continue to collect rent and lend money to usury, everyone will endure it... If the Great Zhou Dynasty can also open a vocational school and receive a scholarship, it will be long live the head of state!

The local gentry in Hebei who has the same idea as the gentry in Shenzhou is still quite a bit like that. Hebei is just next to Tianjin Prefecture. In the past ten or twenty years, Hebei and Tianjin (Jiehe Commercial City) have had a very frequent exchange.

What is Tianjin like? Most Hebei gentry knows. There are also many Hebei gentry families who have relatives who are engaged in business in Tianjin.

Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible to fight the "Hejian Defense War", "Zhongshan Defense War" and "Taiyuan Defense War" in history.

Even a person like Chen Go (the Battle of Zhongshan in history was led by the Battle of Defense of Zhongshan) now had never thought of placing Shenzhou alone to fight against the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Even if he wanted to fight, the gentry of Shenzhou would not follow. At least until the Great Zhou Republic touched their "cheese"...

...

Huaizhou, Hanoi County.

The ancient and dilapidated Huaizhou Prefecture Office had raised the flag of the flying ten thousand talismans at this time.

This historic city has only a few streets and is not prosperous at all. At this time, a large group of Republicans marched on the streets. Mules and horses led light 4 kilograms of bronze cannons and rumbling past the streets. The officers and soldiers of the Republican army were all sweating, but they did not stop at all. The gray team extended from the north of the city to the south, as if there was no end.

On both sides of the street are the gentry and people of Huaizhou who are welcomed by the side of the street. They are still eating and drinking pots to welcome the royal army!

Li Xiaozhong and Wu Yiyong's Hedong Legion jumped thousands of miles on the way, and there was almost no decent resistance. The scene of welcoming in the middle of the road was like this every now and then.

This is really a bit of a great help!

Lieutenant General Wu Yi was also wearing military uniforms and was walking among the marching team. Looking at the gentry and people who were greeting the royal army on both sides of the street, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt.

These guys are too useless! In addition to surrendering, there are not many heroic men all the way to Hedong. Fortunately, the army of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the country of Xia, came back this time. If the Great Jin Kingdom fought, would they also be the obedient people of the Huguan?

It seems that the Great Zhou army destroyed the Song Dynasty and unified the world. This is what happened in the past few years!

My family is lucky, not too far from Kaifeng Prefecture! The great achievements in capturing Kaifeng Prefecture are probably the things in their pockets.

With this great achievement, the rank of general and the position of military commander of the Ministry of Military Affairs can be obtained naturally.

After being a military aircraft for a few years, you can turn to politics to run for the veteran and the head of state... The third head of state will be almost done if he is two and a half (half of the half-term is from Wu Haogu), and then he should be the one himself!

Just when he was thinking about the beauty, Wu Yiyong had already passed through the Hanoi City amid the cheers of the people of Huaizhou. As soon as he arrived in the south of the city of Henei, the cavalry came on the horse and raised his hand on the back: "Lieutenant General, the vanguard's army had contact with the Song thieves' army near Wude Town. After the Song thieves resisted a little, they had already contracted to the bank of the Yellow River. It is found that it was the new headquarters of the Song Dynasty's Hebei Xuanfu Envoy... Now the vanguard has already set up defenses in Wude Town, waiting for the arrival of the army!"

Wu Yiyong laughed loudly when he heard this: "Even the affairs of the Privy Council of the Emperor, the Privy Council have taken action. It seems that the thief Song has exhausted his energy! He sent an order to speed up the marching speed. Our army must cross the Yellow River in the shortest time and the troops will be at the Kaifeng Prefecture City!

As long as you take down Kaifeng Prefecture, the Great Zhou Republic can unify the world!"

It turned out that the Hedong Legion of the Zhou army has now been divided into troops. He was led by the army's general Li Xiaozhong. After conquering Hanoi, he broke into Weizhou in the northeast, and then rushed straight to Xiangzhou, the old nest of Zhaoyi Army.

The leader of Wu Yiyong along the way was to cross the Yellow River and fight to Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of the Song Dynasty!

Of course, there are not many troops assigned to Wu Yiyong, just one cavalry division and one infantry division, which totals only 27,000 people. It is not enough to capture Kaifeng Prefecture with this amount of force.

However, Wu Yiyong knew that his father-in-law, Taishan, Zhao Ji, was timid, and might have run away when he was afraid.

Once he wants to run, will Kaifeng Mansion be at his fingertips?

How could I send myself to the Head of the Palace of Kaifeng Prefecture?

The head of state is not the emperor, he can take turns to be a banker...

...

The news that the Eastern thieves attacked and destroyed the state and occupied Wude Town, and the troops were approaching the north bank of the Yellow River was soon rushed to Kaifeng Prefecture by 600 miles sent by Zongze.

At the same time, the Song army from Hejian was also sent to the scene. The Song army and Zhaoyi army of Cangzhou Road had abandoned the border fortifications and were retreating in panic.

The more than 300,000 new troops of the Song Dynasty, who had worked hard to manage the Hebei defense line for more than ten years, have now completely collapsed.

It is certainly impossible to stop the Zhou army with a population of up to one million (there is no million, but all parties are panicked and exaggerated the number of enemy troops). It is already a matter of time before the Republican army is approaching the city of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Will the national destiny of the Song Dynasty be interrupted for more than 160 years?
