After everything was completed, Zhang Biao led people back to Li Zhong's room.

Looking at Li Zhong who was a little depressed, Zhang Biao said: "It's almost time, it's going to be dawn soon, it's time to leave."

After listening to Zhang Biao's words, Li Zhong raised his head and looked at him, and asked with some disbelief: "Leaving? Where to go?"

Li Zhong had an idea in his mind, but he couldn't believe it.

He couldn't believe that these people would actually do this. But looking at the other party's appearance, it seemed that they really planned to do this.

"Where to go? To Hangzhou." Zhang Biao said with a smile: "Don't you always want to go to Hangzhou?"

"Take your people and get ready to go. Follow the original arrangements and do whatever you want." Zhang Biao continued: "You don't have to worry about the rest."

Li Zhong's suspicion was confirmed, and he couldn't believe that these people would actually do this.

Although he still wanted to ask why he did this, he didn't dare. He was not qualified to ask now.

He had some guesses in his heart, but Li Zhong also knew that there was no way to verify his guesses.

Zhang Biao looked back at the person behind him and asked with a serious face: "Are you ready along the way?"

"Everything is ready. People have gone to every place. There will be no accidents." The person standing behind Zhang Biao said: "We just need to do our own things well. Others will take care of other things.

"

"Okay, then we'll set off right away." Zhang Biao nodded and said.

Soon the army began to assemble, but the number of people gathered was much smaller.

Sure enough, a lot of people escaped last night.

But Zhang Biao and the others didn't care at all about this kind of thing.

"Okay, let's go." Zhang Biao looked at Li Zhong and said with a smile.

Hangzhou City, Zhu Houzhao’s residence.

After taking a look at Zhang He who walked in, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Looking at your expression, it doesn't seem to be good news.l

"Go back to your Royal Highness, Zhang Biao has messed up." Zhang He quickly bowed and said.

Zhu Houzhao's expression was stunned, and the smile on his face also faded.

He raised his head and looked at Zhang He and asked coldly: "What's going on?"

Zhang Biao's side is a very important part of his arrangements. If something goes wrong there, it may affect the whole situation.

At least I need to readjust my strategy, which will waste a lot of time.

"In order to appease his men, Zhou Laosan and Li Zhong discussed going out to rob. Zhou Laosan originally wanted to rob Jinshan Guard, but was stopped by Li Zhong, so they set their target outside Jinshan and robbed them directly along the way.

, let their men directly become rogue bandits and rob them all the way to Hangzhou."

"After learning the news, Zhang Biao and the others took action." At this time, Zhang He naturally did not dare to hide anything and quickly told the matter.

Hearing what Zhang He said, the expression on Zhu Houzhao's face softened a lot.

I originally thought that Zhang Biao messed up the matter, but I didn't expect this to be the case. If this was the case, it would be understandable.

After all, if Li Zhong and others were allowed to rob all the way, the impact would be really bad, and the losses would be too great.

This is not what Zhu Houzhao wants to see.

Although it is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao is very clear about the bandits in the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao also understood the harm caused by rogue bandits. The harm was too great. Therefore, Zhang Biao not only failed to do so, but also achieved merit.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, at first the people rebelled because they could no longer survive, but later they became rogues.

So Zhu Houzhao couldn't let this situation continue to happen. He looked at Zhang He and said gently: "Your brother did a good job in this job. Not only did he have no fault, but he also got credit. When he comes back, he will be rewarded based on his merit. If he hadn't been like this

If he does, I will deal with him instead."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince." Zhang He said quickly.

"So what's going on over there now?" Zhu Houzhao continued to ask.

He needs to understand the ins and outs of the matter so that he can plan the next step of action without any problems.

"Back to Your Highness, Zhang Biao and the others killed Zhou Laosan, kidnapped Li Zhong, and forced Li Rong to continue to rebel under their banner. At the same time, they also led people to Hangzhou."

"Zhang Biao has just received the news. He hopes that our side can cooperate and the plan will go as planned. However, Zhang Biao is worried. Now that Zhou Laosan is dead, he doesn't know if Zhou Laosan has any relationship with us.

What kind of agreement? If there is an agreement, some people may not be deceived."

Zhang He told his brother all his thoughts and then waited for Zhu Houzhao to make a decision.

Having worked for Zhu Houzhao for so long, Zhang He knew very well the preferences of His Highness the Crown Prince.

It doesn't matter if you mess up the errand. As long as you give a suitable reason, His Highness the Crown Prince will not hold you accountable.

But if you fail to do things according to His Highness the Crown Prince's instructions, this is the most serious thing.

What His Highness the Crown Prince hates the most is deception, so Zhang He did not dare to hide anything. When he came here, he first told what his brother had done and waited for His Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision.

"Do as he said." Zhu Houzhao said without any hesitation: "Even if they have some agreement, once the war starts, how can the news spread so quickly? They will still be fooled. Even if they have doubts in their hearts, they will

I can only take a gamble."

"At this point, they have put all their bets on the table and there is no way they can retreat. Send an order to Zhang Biao and ask him to get the job done. I will reward him when he comes back."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will go and send him a message right now." Zhang He agreed, then turned around and walked out.

Looking at Zhang He's leaving figure, Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea from the table and said with a smile on his face: "Let's see if you can still sit still."

Hangzhou City, Shunchang Cloth Store.

Zhou Laoer walked in, came to Wang Huai, and said: "Sir, there is news that Li Zhong has rebelled. He left Jinshan with his people and fought all the way to Hangzhou."

After hearing this, Wang Huai stood up with an excited look on his face.

After planning for so many years, I finally got such a good opportunity.

Now that things have started to move, there is no possibility of stopping. This time, I must go all the way to the end, and my dream will soon come true.

Looking at Wang Huai who was a little excited, Zhou Lao Er said hesitantly: "Sir, this news did not come from Lao San."

Hearing Zhou Laoer's words, Wang Huai was slightly startled, and the expression on his face froze.

Then he turned to look at Zhou Laoer and asked calmly: "Who sent that message?"

"It's our people in Jinshan Guard." Zhou Laoer replied: "According to what they said, after Li Zhong's men set off, Lao San did not send any more news. They don't know what Lao San's situation is now."

"I'm worried that things have changed now?" Zhou Laoer said hesitantly: "Should we stop for a while and find out the specific news?"

Wang Huai shook his head and said firmly: "We can't stop at this point. No matter what Zhou Laosan's situation is now, we can't stop. Now that Li Zhong has set off, he has no way out. He can only

Being able to fight all the way to Hangzhou is enough for us."

"Maybe it's because of poor message transmission, or maybe it's because of other reasons. Lao San can't send a message now. But the goal has been achieved. You immediately send a message to Jiangxi, tell them the news, and let them send troops directly without any help.

Come directly to Hangzhou without any hesitation. Once they arrive in Hangzhou, everything will be under our control."

Zhou Laoer glanced at Wang Huai and wanted to say something else, but he couldn't.

Because he saw his husband's red eyes and his unswerving expression, he knew that nothing he could say would be of any use.

He could also understand that after planning for so many years and waiting for so many years, just for this day, nothing could stop at this time.

So he did not delay any further and said directly: "I will make arrangements immediately and notify the Jiangxi side to send troops immediately; at the same time, notify the people in the city to be prepared. As soon as the troops arrive, we will take action immediately."

Soon the news of Li Zhong's rebellion spread throughout Jiangnan, which was something no one expected.

For many people, this is not a secret; but for outsiders, it is definitely a big secret.

The rebels set out from Jinshanwei and headed straight for Hangzhou. Everyone knew that they were heading towards the Crown Prince.

People's hearts throughout Jiangnan were unstable, and everyone was frightened.

Everyone knows that once a military disaster occurs, it is a very big deal. No one dares to underestimate it, because if it is not handled well, life will be lost.

The rebels set off from Jinshan Guard and rushed directly to Jiaxing Prefecture very quickly.

Among the army, Zhang Biao was sitting on the carriage. Next to him was Li Zhong, and those driving the carriage for him were all Zhang Biao's men.

Lifting up the car curtain and looking at the march outside, Zhang Biao had a very disdainful expression on his face.

The troops outside were too loose, and Zhang Biao thought it was ridiculous that such an army dared to rebel.

This is like a group of old farmers on the road. It would be strange if they could fight.

After taking a look at the men driving the carriage, Zhang Biao asked, "Where are you?"

"Going back to Erye, Jiaxing is ahead of us, and not far further we will reach Pinghu County," said the man who was driving the car.

Zhang Biao nodded and said, "Have the arrangements been made at Pinghu?"

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged." The subordinate said with a smile.

Zhang Biao glanced at the army and asked: "How many people escaped last night?"

"Back to the Second Master, there were more than 20,000 people when we came out. Now I think there are only 10,000 left. It is estimated that after arriving in Pinghu, there will be even less left." His subordinates said, somewhat dumbfounded.

"Then tell them not to leave anymore and camp where they are." Zhang Biao said with a smile: "After riding in the carriage for a day, my body is hurting. It's time to take a good rest and start the journey again early tomorrow morning. Anyway, we don't have to
