After lying hard and saying that Li Luo left Huguang, she was favored by the White Lotus Sect, selected as a Buddha girl, and then made a princess.

This time, he was sent by Emperor Xiao Yin of the Great Liang Dynasty to ask for help.

In fact, Xiao Yin really wanted to ask Li Luo for help. However, he was besieged by Kudu Timur for several months and was unable to send an envoy at all. It was completely out of the hard work of contacting the anti-Yuan forces outside, and he came to Li Luo for help without authorization.

And Li Luo was also eager to pull Xiao Yin at this time.

Why?

Because the forces of the White Lotus Sect have basically been killed by the Yuan army, they will not recover for at least a few years, and the purpose of eradicating the White Lotus Sect with the sword of the Yuan army has almost been achieved.

Second, there are more than a dozen Tang Guoda spies in Xiao Liang's regime who infiltrated two years ago. With their personal ability, they sprung up in the White Lotus Sect, which lacked talents, and some became high-ranking officials, and some became generals. Even Xiao Liang's elite soldiers are half in the hands of Tang State spies.

If Xiao Liang is not saved, these Tang Guoda spies will be buried with Xiao Yin.

To save Xiao Liang is to save these Tang Guoda spies. And if Xiao Liang continues to exist, they will wield greater power and troops until Xiao Liang is put in the air.

At that time, Xiao Liang existed in name only, and then through a "coup d'état", he easily and happily "returned to Tang".

So Li Luo changed his attention, he was no longer afraid of Xiao Liang sitting big, as long as he ensured that the spies could slowly control Xiao Liang's military and political power, then Xiao Liang would be able to "not Tang but Tang, and eventually return to Tang".

This strategy of "stealing the sky and changing the day, vacating the cage for the bird" is currently under the personal command and implementation of Cui Xiuning.

But the premise is that Xiao Liang continues to exist.

And hard work is also an important part of this plan. After all, she has a high status in the Xiao Liang regime.

Then she came at the right time.

"Master, Uncle Xiao Yin is a good person, and the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom are all good people who rebelled without food, please save them..."

The hard words are completely in the tone of a child, which is of course pretended. Because if she didn't do this, wouldn't that mean that the previous character in front of Li Luo was fake?

"Master, the big devil of Kudu Timur is a big wicked man, and he has killed many, many people in Huguang. He also threatened to kill Uncle Xiao Yin again......"

Hard to use a childish tone to show a meaning: the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the Tang and Liang alliances are fighting against the Meng Yuan.

It is really a test to explain the truth thoroughly to impress Li Luo, and to make Li Luo feel that she is a little girl who has no scheming.

Fortunately, there are no flaws in her performance.

The little thing is very emotional. Once upon a time, Li Luo was just a Tartar official she was hostile and despised, and she even had the intention of assassinating Li Luo at one point.

But now, Li Luo actually raised an army against the Yuan, and most of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi became Han soil again. Under the protection of the Tang army, the common people were no longer enslaved by the Tartars.

And Li Luo himself has become the most powerful anti-Yuan prince.

In the face of all this, she didn't know what it was like in her heart, it was simply indescribable.

Li Luo deliberately showed embarrassment, "Ku'er, it's not that I don't save them, I also know that they are all anti-Yuan righteous people." But I really can't spare too many soldiers. Otherwise, you will stay in the Tang Kingdom and don't go back. ”

I was depressed in my heart, and said pitifully: "The slave is very stupid and doesn't understand the big truth. But the slave only knew that the Tartar was a great villain, and Uncle Xiao Yin was also the benefactor of the slave, and the slave could not see that they were killed by the Tartar. The slave is even more afraid that the Tartar will come to beat the master again... If the master joins forces with Uncle Xiao Yin, the one who dies must be a Tartar..."

Li Luo was very "embarrassed" and sighed, "Okay, the widow will send troops to save them, but Zhang Hongfan's army of more than 100,000 is on the opposite side of the Guanshan, and the widow can't draw out troops and horses immediately, so he can only defeat Zhang Hongfan and then send reinforcements." ”

I knew that this was already the best result, and it was impossible for Li Luo to dispatch an army to rescue Liang when he confronted Zhang Hongfan.

For the sake of today's plan, I can only hope that the Tang army will defeat Zhang Hongfan as soon as possible. I hope the girder can last a little longer.

Gangneung Castle was surrounded by Tartars like iron buckets, and she no longer knew the situation in the city. But she estimated that there would be at most 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, and there would not be too much food and arrows.

I don't know if I can keep it for a month.

Hopefully, Your Majesty will fight for breath at the last moment, at least until reinforcements arrive.

As long as the Tang and Liang coalition forces defeated Kudu Timur, Daliang would be able to recover other prefectures and counties in Huguang and become strong again.

Li Luo agreed to his request for a "maid", he politely refused the request to serve by his side, and then ordered her to be placed in Nangan City, waiting for news from the Tang army.

After working hard to leave the camp in Guanbei and come to live in Nangancheng, my heart was much more stable.

She could see that Li Luo's rescue of the beam was not perfunctory. Now all she can do is wait.

"Princess, if Jiangling City is broken before the Tang Kingdom defeats Zhang Hongfan, what should I do?" A female guard asked.

Hard stared at her with a gloomy face, "What should I do?" Of course, whoever has the ability to resist the yuan will defect to whom. Could it be that when the beam is defeated, he accepts his fate? ”

Another guard said: "Princess, I say something disrespectful, Your Majesty should not protect those gentry who harm the people and vote for the yuan!" If they were killed as soon as possible, why would the Liang be short of food and wages, and he would be stabbed by them? ”

Another guard also said indignantly: "That's it! If Your Majesty were to kill the gentry like Tang Gong, Da Liang would not be able to hold it so soon! ”

Hard smiled coldly, "Your Majesty thinks that the world has been suffering for a long time, and the people's hearts are in me, as long as the army is raised, the rich people of the Han people will be grateful to Dade, donate money and food, and contribute people." Hmph, how can there be such a good thing? They are the officials of the Tartars, even if they are Tartars, they are happy and happy, how can they rebel? Isn't that a tiger skin? ”

"You have also seen that the people who are rebelling now are either the descendants of Xiao Liang, the descendants of Li Tang, or the descendants of Zhao Song. Either the people everywhere are bitter, or the bandits will rebel. But only the rich don't. Which rich man have you seen rebelled? They and the Tartars are simply one and the same. ”

"The old lady persuaded His Majesty several times to let him lift the ban on killing the gentry and use knives against them. But Your Majesty didn't listen. A few big clans sent a few beauties and said a few good words, and His Majesty became a good person. Hmph, this fights the world, do you still want to be a good person, do you do it? ”

A few people chatted with Xiao Yin, and they didn't have much awe for the "Great Liang Emperor" inside and outside the words.

"The old lady ran to Jiangxi to beg Tang Gong for nine lifetimes, and she was also benevolent and righteous to Daliang. If the girder is gone, this anti-Yuan banner can only be resisted by Tang Gong. We all have a blood feud with the Tartars, and the old lady just said a word, whoever has the ability to oppose the yuan, the old lady will vote for whom. ”

This team of guards are all hard-working henchmen, and they all nod yes when they hear hard words.

…………

July 15, Midyear Day. It is also commonly known as Halloween.

Fujian Province finally has a big event.

Li Jie, the Buddhist master of the White Lotus Sect in Fujian, who was named the king of Fujian by Xiao Yin and occupied Fuzhou City, was defeated and died.

The Fujian Yuan army, under the command of Pingzhang political affairs Han'er Buhua, broke through Fuzhou, killed all Li Jie's subordinates, and Li Jie himself killed himself.

The Battle of Fujian finally ended with the victory of the Yuan army, and the entire Fujian province was once again occupied by the Yuan army.

Han'er Buhua ordered the massacre of the Han people in Fuzhou, but was stopped by Wanhu Shangzhu and Zha Yinnan. The reason of the two is that now Li Luo, Zhao Liangchao, and Xiao Yin have not yet been pacified, and if they slaughter the city, it will make the thief army more stubborn, and it will also push more Han people to the thief army.

Shang Zhu and Zha Yin Nan made great contributions in the battle to extinguish Li Jie, and they were both generals that Han'er did not rely on. The more than 20,000 elite soldiers under the command of the two were also the main force to break through Fuzhou.

Therefore, Han'er Buhua listened to the advice of the two and withdrew the military order to slaughter the city.

Three days later, Fujian was pacified, and the news of Li Jiebing's defeat and death finally reached the Meiling camp of the Yuan army.

Zhang Hongfan received the military report and laughed and said: "Congratulations to the Great Khan, now that Fujian has been flattened, the Fujian army can be adjusted to enter Jiangxi!" ”

Zhang Hongfan, as the general of Pingnan, immediately sent people to report to Fujian, requisitioned 30,000 Fujian Yuan troops, and came to the Meiling camp to help suppress them.

Zhang Hongfan has 140,000 troops in hand, but why did he send 30,000 Fujian Yuan troops to help?

Because this person should be cautious and will not be careless.

He confronted the Tang Army in Meiling for more than 20 days, and through continuous testing, he had long found that the strength of the Tang Army was far beyond his imagination. Although he has the advantage of his troops, he is not sure that he will win the decisive battle once he is out of the pass.

Without a seventy or eighty percent chance of winning, Zhang Hongfan will definitely not go out of the decisive battle.

Therefore, he would rather block here, nail the rebels to the death, and then wait for Kudu Timur to come east to join the army.

But Hudu Timur was still suppressing Xiao Yin in Huguang, and he couldn't get there for a while. And the sailors of the Tang army are likely to land on the coast of Canton Province and unite with the remnants of the puppet Song army to flank themselves.

So he simply took advantage of the pacification of Fujian and dispatched 30,000 Fujian Yuan troops to help to ensure that nothing went wrong.

With an increase of 30,000 elite soldiers, even if he goes out of the customs and fights Li Luo, he will have a chance of winning.

Fujian Pingzhang Han'er did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent 30,000 soldiers and horses west into the north of Guangdong Province. Among them, the 20,000 soldiers and horses in charge of the army and ten thousand households are Shang Zhu and Zha Yinnan.

On the night before the Fujian Yuan army marched, Shang Zhu and Zha Yinnan drank together and talked secretly. And in addition to the two, there is actually an outsider.

It was Zong Sun of the Special Investigation Army's Einsatzgruppen.

"Brother Zong Day, do you have anything else to explain?" Shang Zhu asked.

Zong Yan took a sip of wine and laughed quietly: "No." Every step is in Madame's plan, and Zhang Hongfan is a fish on the chopping board this time. What the brothers want to explain is that they hope that the two brothers will save their lives, return triumphantly, and return to Tang in dignity. ”

As early as when Li Luo was in Fujian Pingzhang, he deliberately encircled Shang Zhu and Zha Yin Nan.

Li Luo used the power of Fujian Pingzhang at that time to allocate a lot of money, food, and military salaries to Shang Zhu and Zha Yinnan, and also gave the two of them a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on five days, making the two of them desperately become Li Luo's party.

After Li Luo raised his troops, the two of them were still shocked, although they did not raise troops to respond, they also sweated for Li Luo.

So, the Special Investigation Bureau simply sent someone to contact the two and asked them to secretly return to Tang. As generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, the two of them have long had the intention of opposing the Yuan, but they did not dare to rebel.

Of course, Cui Xiuning will not do anything reckless. It was only after learning about the two of them in detail that she made a plan to pull them on board.

Sure enough, the two didn't think about it for too long, and decided to secretly return to Tang. Especially after seeing Li Luo sweeping Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was even more unswerving.

The thousands of households under the command of the two also made some cleanups and adjustments after the spies found out. More than 20,000 soldiers and horses have been completely controlled by the anti-Yuan forces.

They are the two knives that Cui Xiuning arranged in Fujian.

It is possible that Zhang Hongfan asked for two knives for his dog's life.

Zha Yinnan nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry." Zhang Hongfan never dreamed that we would have secretly returned to Tang, as long as we entered Meiling......"

Zong Sun pointed south, "The 40,000-strong army is on the ship, and it will land at any time." Zhang Hongfan... Unable to escape. ”

The three men looked at each other and smiled, and drank their glasses of wine.

Zong Tian was very happy. It's really interlocking, after these few moves, Datang will be able to take the southeast.

…………

Meiling, also known as Da Yuling, is one of the five ridges in Lingnan, named after the Meiguan excavated by Zhang Jiuling in the Tang Dynasty, as well as the Meiguan Ancient Road, which has been an important place for soldiers since ancient times.

Seven years ago, the Song Dynasty's military department Shangshu Lu Shikui led the Yuan army through the Meiling Mountains and went straight to Guangzhou to destroy the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Hongfan's army of more than 100,000 was stationed in Dayutai near Meiguan. It not only has a wide view, but also can seal the lock road. Looking condescendingly to the north, the Tang military camp is clearly visible.

At this time, Zhang Hongfan was inscribed a poem on a cliff in Meiguan, and the poem said:

"Zhang Hongfan, a northerner, is stationed in Meiguan. The tiger's eyes are poor, and the iron horse hides thousands of mountains. ”

After the big traitor finished writing, he was very complacent, but he was still unsatisfied, and then wrote another poem:

"On the night of July, there will be no plum blossoms to see. Ten thousand points of thief blood are more beautiful than plum blossoms. ”

(There's no interest in writing poems for traitors, so let's be perfunctory)

After Zhang Hongfan finished writing, he threw away the pen and ordered: "Carve it out."

"Wow!"

Zhang Hongfan Denggao took a look at the Tang army camp outside the mountain, found no abnormality, and returned to the Chinese army's tent again.

"The last general, Shang Zhu, meet the general!"

"The last general, Zha Yinnan, meet the general!"

In the Meiling camp of the Yuan army, Shang Zhu and Zha Yinnan, who had already led the army to arrive, and other Fujian generals entered the Chinese army's tent to meet Zhang Hongfan.

"Excuse me, get up, it's hard all the way." Zhang Hongfan said lightly. He has a majestic bearing, looks good, and has a bit of heart-wrenching momentum.

"Wow!" Shang Zhu and Cha Yin Nam stood up and sat on both sides to participate in the military discussion.

At this time, a general named Liu He stood up and said: "General, Fujian has another 30,000 troops this time, and our army has 170,000, is it time to go out of the customs for a decisive battle?" ”

The Mongolian general Ah Duye shouted: "General, the rebel army will definitely not exceed 100,000 soldiers and horses, there are more soldiers and horses in Dayuan, and now there are 30,000 more, if we don't fight, will it still be Dayuan warriors!" ”

Ah Du seemed dissatisfied.

Other generals also asked to fight.

Even Shang Zhu, who was newly arriving, stood up puzzled and said, "General, why don't you fight for hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves?" ”

Zhang Hongfan's face sank, "This commander is the master of the army, and he wants to fight more than you!" ”

He stood up with a cold snort, walked to the sand table, and pointed to the position of the Tang army, "The rebels have a maximum of 100,000 soldiers and horses, but the commander has already found out clearly, the rebels' firearms are very sharp, and the cavalry is not much worse than our army, and Li Luo is treacherous with soldiers, and the rebels are sharp, which is by no means comparable to the puppet Song thief army." Once our army goes out of the customs and fights a decisive battle, in case the army is defeated, what will be the consequences? Well? ”

"At that time, the whole southeast will be occupied by the rebels! At least the whole of Fujian will fall into the hands of the rebels! The rebels will turn westward, go straight to Huguang, and fight with Xiao Yin to attack Kudu Timur. If this is the case, most of the Kudu Timur is not an opponent, then the rebels will sweep Huguang within two months! That's really hard to control! ”

"So, our army can't afford to lose, can't lose! Li Luo can't afford to lose, let alone lose. Since he can't afford to lose, then Ben Shuai can only wait. Ben Shuai is waiting for Kudu Timur, and Li Luo is waiting for the rebels who have landed on the coast of Guangdong! He wants to flank us back and forth! ”

Shang Zhu's heart moved slightly, and he said tentatively: "General, the rebel army doesn't seem to have too many troops, they have already placed so many men and horses in Guanbei, is there still soldiers and horses landing in Guangdong Road?" ”

Zhang Hongfan nodded affirmatively: "Li Luo, you will definitely do this." He controls the sea, if he doesn't land behind our army, is it still Li Luo? Ben Shuai guessed that another rebel army should have reached the waters of Guangdong. ”

"Once our army goes out of the pass and has a decisive battle with Li Luo, most of the other rebel army will land, occupy Meiling, and attack Li Luo from the north and south, then our army will be defeated!"

Ah Du said dissatisfiedly: "What does the general mean, we still have to stay here obediently and wait for Kudu Timur?" ”

Zhang Hongfan said with a smile: "More than 100,000 troops are fighting, and they first ask for stable words. If you can't stabilize it, do you still want to win the battle? Even if 30,000 Fujian troops come today, they must not go out of the customs and waves, so as not to fall into the traitors' tricks! ”

"Hmph, Ben Shuai just doesn't go out, as long as he occupies Meiling, the rebels are flanked by the north and the south, how can they withstand me? As soon as the Kudu Timurid army arrives, our army will go out of the customs again for a decisive battle, and the thunder will blow! If you don't move, you move... It's the life of the rebels! ”

At this moment, he suddenly reported to Malay: "General, tens of thousands of Tang troops have already landed three days ago, passed Jieyang, and arrived in Meizhou!" At the moment, it is estimated that it is in the source of the river! ”

Zhang Hongfan Huoran stood up, "Ben Shuai didn't expect it badly, the rebels really came all the way again!" ”

Shang Zhu hurriedly said: "The great general is clever, it is really the Marquis of Wu who is alive!" ”

The generals were also convinced, and they all said that the general was clever. It's not that they flatter, but they really admire. The same generals, they could not have imagined that the rebels would have to come from the sea.

"Shang Zhu!" Zhang Hongfan suddenly called by name.

"The last general!"

"Order you to lead the army to garrison the Liuzu Temple, and not let the rebels enter the pass!" Zhang Hongfan handed over the task of guarding the Guannan entrance to Shang Zhu.

Shang Zhu broke through Fuzhou City before, which shows that his soldiers and horses are not weak, and he is enough to guard the Liuzu Temple.

"Cha Yin Nan!" Zhang Hongfan looked at Zha Yinnan.

"The last general!"

"Zhang Gong Ancestral Hall is handed over to you, and you must not let the rebels enter the pass!"

"Wow!" Zha Yin Nan took the order.

Zhang Hongfan implemented the policy of emphasizing the north over the south. His main force was used to defend Li Luo's army in the north. And the south side was handed over to Shang Zhu and Zha Yinnan's Fujian Yuan army, because the rebels from the sea route were few, and the south side was more dangerous, and the two were enough to hold it.

Soon, Shang Zhu and Zha Yinnan led their troops to the south and stationed in Zhang Gong Temple and Liuzu Temple. And another important place called Yunfeng Temple has been stationed with 10,000 Hubei Han troops.

In the afternoon of the next day, 40,000 Tang troops really came to Guannan, led by Zhu Hao and Xiao Bei, and the soldiers and horses they led had no cavalry, but 300 artillery pieces and 5,000 firearms. And there were also a lot of pikemen and shields.

In addition to the 40,000 soldiers, there were also 10,000 Japanese military slaves, a total of 50,000. Even the 10,000 Japanese slaves were equipped with leather armor and bows.

The Tang army seems to have known the terrain here for a long time, and they directly occupied the Yinggui Valley, which was conducive to defense, could isolate the cavalry attack of the Yuan army, and could then attack the pass and go straight to Shaoguan.

At the meeting of the Yuan army's battalion, the Mongolian general Adu suggested that the main force should go south and destroy the tens of thousands of rebels.

But Zhang Hongfan did not hesitate to veto.

Tens of thousands of well-armed rebels occupied Yinggui Valley, and he sent twice as many troops and horses, and he didn't know how long it would take to defeat them. And Li Luo, who is in the north, may attack at any time.

He must focus on the north side and hold out.

Zhang Hongfan's strategy of sticking to it is right. Because Li Luo began to be anxious.

In the camp of the Tang Army in Guanbei, Li Luo was also holding a military meeting.

"This Zhang Hongfan, who is also a famous general, is so cowardly that he has been shrinking in Meiling and has not fought for a long time. 40,000 men were sent to the south, and he did not send a dozen troops. Li Luo frowned and said.

The weather was very hot, and the generals were sweating profusely, and it was conceivable that the morale would be affected if they did not fight for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Weichen knows this person very well. When he was proud, he was very arrogant, and he chased and fought all the way. But when cautious, it is as steady as a rock, unmoved, and difficult to deal with. Wen Tianxiang said.

Du Lie said: "That's right, we also fought two battles with this person back then, but he won a lot." Now he has been holding out, and now he has been holding out, and seeing that it is almost August, if the capital Timur comes east, it will be difficult to fight. ”

Once a battle of hundreds of thousands of people is fought, even if it is won, the price will be unbearable.

Li Luo suddenly showed an unfathomable smile, "He can't hide for a few days." ”

When the generals listened, they were all thoughtful, knowing that Li Luo must have made some arrangements.

…………

In the middle of the night on July 21, suddenly the southern foot of Meiling gradually lit up.

Then, it gets brighter and brighter until it illuminates a night sky.

Be... Blaze!

Blazing!

In the firelight, countless people were heard shouting, and there were faint shouts of killing and scolding. All this made the otherwise quiet summer night manic.

It didn't take long for the Yuan army of the brigade to rush out of the Liuzu Temple with torches, rush out of the Guandao, and rush south.

"General! General! Oh no! The grain and grass of Yunfeng Temple were ignited by the rebels with fire oil! The entire Yunfeng Temple is on fire! As soon as the fire burned, Zhang Hongfan was woken up by his own soldiers.

What the!

The rebels went up the mountain? How can it be!

Zhang Hongfan didn't have time to put on his armor, so when he came to the outside of the tent, he saw that the Yunfeng Temple five miles away had already ignited a fire.

Zhang Hongfan immediately stayed where he was.

In the firelight, several generals rushed over and said loudly: "General! It's Shang Zhu and Zha Yin Nan, the two forgetful bastards who eat inside and out! They suddenly sent troops to attack Yunfeng Temple at night, defeated 10,000 defenders, and set fire to them with kerosene...... Ah! Damn it! ”

"thief!"

"They burned the grain and grass, and then fled from Meiling and defected to the rebels in Yinggui Valley!"

Zhang Hongfan's face was terrifying, and he was very frightened under the reflection of the firelight.

"They're not eating inside and out." Zhang Hongfan said dryly, gritting his teeth, "They have been secretly thieves for a long time." They had already premeditated, we fell for Li Luo's evil, and even invited the enemy from Fujian to the mountains! ”

Zhang Hongfan no longer looked at the fire, but faced the north and looked in the direction of Li Luo.

"Li Luo, is this your poisonous plan? Shang Zhu and the others have been your people for a long time, right? Okay, poisonous enough. Okay, since you burned Ben Shuai's grain and grass, and you want to force Ben Shuai to go out of the mountain for a decisive battle, then Ben Shuai will... As you wish! ”

ps: Hey, there are too few recommended votes, and my heart is cold. Looking at the data of this vote, the whole person is not good. That's all for today, good night. Crab Crab supports my friend. Heart congestion.
