Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 466

Guan Zhikuo didn't know that these 100 cavalry were the soul and essence of the 1000 Huaxia Weifu cavalry, because they were black cavalry led by Hei Yue, and they were no longer cavalry in the usual sense, but killing machines without emotion.

In fact, they were beheading everything they could come into contact with in all directions, while advancing rapidly.

Guan Zhikuo's soldiers resisted for a while.The tremendous pressure caused them to suffer heavy casualties, and Guan Zhikuo was terrified.When someone shot arrows at him in the chaos, he began to retreat quickly, and at the same time mobilized other troops in the army to come here to block the attack for him.

After such a transfer, the entire army has already begun to be in chaos.The massacre of the Huaxia Weifu shattered everything under the night sky, and the control of the entire Southern Tang army had failed.Gradually turned into separate battles, and the fringe teams have begun to flee frantically. The soldiers in the battle formation are either fighting fiercely or turning in under the leadership of middle-level officers, but the massacre has become the main theme of the entire battlefield.With so many people, it is too convenient to slaughter.

Ye Chen's combat purpose was very clear. It was not enough to just kill them, but also to completely defeat them. They were so terrified that they and the Southern Tang army who came from behind would not dare to chase them again for a while.Therefore, they have to continue killing people for a while.

Surrounding Ye Chen was always a hundred killers and five sword slaves from the Assassination Department, killing people casually, without deliberately chasing anyone.Not even Ye Chen made a move.And the mighty Wu Batian was placed at the front of the cavalry by him just now, and he regarded it as the tip. He played a huge role in the initial collision. He is relevant at the front.

At this pass, the large troops who couldn't run were chased by a cavalry team of 1000 and 100 people, and they were slaughtered.A large number of broken soldiers rushed into the nearby woods, but the cavalry of the Huaxia Guards outflanked and circled the edge of the woods, and then started lighting fires in all directions. It was already early winter, and the weather was dry. Not long after, a large number of open flames began to blaze Burning, lighting up the whole forest.Near a nearby river valley, nearly 400 Southern Tang soldiers were massacred and forced into the river.Soon, more than [-] cavalrymen chased by the Huaxia Weifu began to shoot arrows into the river, and the whole river was stained red with blood.

The serial horses also shattered the resistance of the infantry, cutting the entire battlefield into several large pieces.On and off the battlefield, when Hei Yue led people to scatter the troops mobilized by Guan Zhikuo and beheaded Guan Zhikuo, the morale of the entire Southern Tang army completely collapsed. All the troops lost resistance and began to break up and flee.

After the cavalry of the Huaxia Guards circled and swept towards the scattered crowd at the edge of the battlefield, they gathered together after Ye Chen gave an order, and rushed through the pass. After more than an hour, they rushed out of the Southern Tang border and entered Wuyue within the land.Soon they met Song Jun who came to meet Ye Chen.

The Song army was led by Zhao Zan himself, all cavalry, with a total of [-].

After the two parties met, Ye Chen was truly safe.Zhao Zan also heaved a long sigh of relief with a complicated expression.

The water is clear and soft, with no fine lines, in this early winter weather.It has a clear and clean smell, not to reject the cold that is thousands of miles away, but just blindly gentle, and it becomes ten miles away from Pinghu.In the distance, you can see the beautiful green mountains hidden in the fog.Several black and gray wooden buildings rise along the lake, exuding a sense of wealth and no glare.

This water is the world-famous Hangzhou West Lake.

The greatest influence on the West Lake in history was the period of Wuyue Kingdom, which was extremely prominent in the development history of Hangzhou.It was at this time that West Lake was fully developed and basically finalized.

"Since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, our ancestors have used Hangzhou as their capital to promote transportation with coastal areas and open up trade with overseas countries such as Japan and Korea, allowing our Wuyue merchants and people to earn enough money from these overseas barbarian countries. "Qian Zhiyin is in a good mood today, one is Ye Chen reappearing in front of him after he came back from the dead; the other is that the two-month business war with the Jiangnan Bank and Jiangnan Commercial Bank under the command of the Holy Church is about to come to an end.

On the north shore of West Lake, there is a three-storey attic covering an area of ​​four to five acres. It is the Xizi Building in Hangzhou, which is famous for its cooking skills and elegant culture.With the daily flow of people in West Lake, the daily profit of Xizi Building can reach ten thousand taels of silver.

But today, the best Xizilou on the edge of the West Lake has been booked for the entire venue, and it is not open to the public to be precise.Why do you say that it is not open to the public, because Xizilou is the property of the Qian family of the former king of Wuyue, and today the king of Wuyue, Qian Zhiyin, is hosting a banquet in the building, so naturally it cannot be regarded as a private room.

Ye Chen nodded, and while eating one of Xizilou's signature dishes, Babao Tofu, he said: "Brother Qian, don't worry, some officials appointed by the imperial court will randomly increase customs taxes, or accept bribes to Japan and Korea. How can some convenient things for businessmen escape the eyes and ears of my Huaxia Weifu spies. Before I leave Wuyue, these things will naturally have to be dealt with. In short, I can't guarantee that the business of Wuyue will be better than before. But it won’t be much worse than before.”

Qian Zhiyin smiled slightly and said, "With Brother Ye's words, I can rest assured."

The smile from the heart on Qian Zhiyin's peerless face made Ye Chen feel his eyes light up, but then he felt something was wrong, he didn't dare to look at him anymore, but turned his head to look out the window, the next moment his brows slightly Wrinkled, said: "There seem to be quite a few temples by the West Lake!"

Qian Zhiyin followed Ye Chen's gaze and said: "Because my father, grandfather, and ancestors all believed in Buddhism, they built a large number of temples, pagodas, sutra buildings, and grottoes around the West Lake. The ancestors expanded Lingyin Temple and founded Zhaoqing Temple. Temple, Jingci Temple, Li'an Temple, Liutong Temple and Taoguang Temple, etc. My grandfather built Baochu Pagoda and Liuhe Pagoda. My father also asked people to build Huangfei Pagoda (later Leifeng Pagoda) and White Pagoda. Over the years, I This is the reason why Wuyue Kingdom is also sometimes called the Buddha Kingdom. Oh, Lingyin Temple, Tianzhu and other temples, like the West Lake, are already famous tourist attractions in the south of the Yangtze River. Tens of thousands. Brother Ye might as well take a look if you have time."

Ye Chen liked to travel in later generations, especially the famous Qiantang River tide watching. He has longed for it for a long time. At this time, his eyes brightened slightly when he heard it, and he nodded: "Qiantang River tide watching is indeed a wonder in the world. Unfortunately, this year I have already missed the time, and I must see it next time I have a chance.”

Looking at the beautiful scenery of the West Lake outside the window, Qian Zhiyin remembered something and said, "Brother Ye, although the West Lake is beautiful, the underwater geology is also somewhat special. The silt accumulates quickly and needs to be dredged frequently. Thousands of people, weeding grass and dredging springs, ensured the existence of the water body of the West Lake. It’s just that Xue Xianggong and General Zhao are undergoing adjustments and reforms of the official and military system these days. My brother heard that Xue Xianggong once said that he would withdraw the thousands of soldiers from the lake.”
