Thundered......

Just now the sun was shining, and the cloudless sky suddenly had a large area of dark clouds surging like a tide, and the sky was suddenly dark, and at the same time, there were several shocking thunderbolts, and then, the bean-sized raindrops also crackled from the end of the sky, hit the fields, hit the city next to the road, and also hit the city head Wu Guojun and soldiers by surprise!

In the process of taking shelter from the rain as Fang La hurriedly went down to the city, Fang Fei and Jiang Shihu both unconsciously looked up at today's abnormal and sudden weather, and their hearts suddenly became uneasy.

"Heaven and man sympathize, in this late autumn Jiangnan has rarely had such thunderstorms, and it was even better before, how could this vision be born? Isn't there something going on in secret? This was a thought that came to the hearts of the two almost at the same time, and after glancing at each other, they saw deep concern in each other's eyes.

After coming to the command post under the city, Fang Fei hurriedly said to Fang La: "Your Majesty, let's send someone to the north to let the Ten Buddhas come back immediately, it is common sense for a soldier to chase after a poor man, and he must not commit this taboo because of a momentary anger." ”

In this regard, Fang La was also as good as a stream, and immediately nodded and said: "What you said is very true, come to someone, pass on my order, let the ten Buddhas come back immediately, and it must not be delayed." "Although they had already sent three or four groups of people to order Fang Shifo to retire and return, the wording was not too harsh, but this time it was much harsher. Not only that, but Fang La also took down a gold medal he carried with him as a letter to increase the weight of this military order, he knew too well the character of his brother, and if he didn't say it to death, he would not give up the shame.

This sudden thunderstorm also made Fang La's heart feel deeply uneasy, and he always felt that something terrible was about to happen, and he had to ensure the safety of Fang Shi Buddha.

It wasn't until the military order was conveyed and several henchmen of the Imperial Forest Army hurriedly left that Fang La calmed down a little and said with a smile: "It seems that our monarchs and ministers are still too nervous about this battle." We've already won a great victory, but it's a shame to be so careful. ”

"Your Majesty is serious, this is a prudent method in the use of soldiers, otherwise it cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof. The minister also thought that the Ten Buddhas were too radical, this battle, our goal is not to annihilate the Song army, and we do not have the ability to swallow nearly 100,000 Song troops in one bite, as long as we can reverse the previous unfavorable situation with this victory, and take advantage of the situation to recapture the city lost before, it will be considered to be a wish. Pang Wanchun immediately answered.

His words were also agreed by Fang Fei and Jiang Shihu: "What Pang Shuai said is very true, the battle between my Wu State and the Song Dynasty is bound to be protracted, and it is by no means a victory that can be guaranteed by one or two victories, so it is the way to win by ensuring that your own soldiers and horses are less damaged while breaking the enemy." ”

"Your Majesty, the Ten Buddhas are a little too impatient after all, after this incident, I hope Your Majesty can persuade him a few words, so that he will not be deceived by hatred again, and do things that are too risky and even worth the losses."

Several important ministers spoke one after another, making Fang La's expression more and more solemn: "What you say makes a lot of sense, I understand, and I will warn the Ten Buddhas not to come nonsense again." Speaking of this, there was a thunderous explosion overhead, which made his heart shrink suddenly, and the heavy uneasiness hit him quickly, and the words changed: "Something shouldn't go wrong, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, please be relieved, the Song army has been defeated, and it is no longer able to fight back, with the strength of the Ten Buddhas and their subordinates, I dare not say that we can annihilate them in one fell swoop, but there will never be any problem in self-preservation." Pang Wanchun hurriedly said with relief, but somehow he was a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't find the problem for a while.

His words were also sincere, as far as the previous battle was concerned, the Song army really had no possibility of turning the tables, and he was even more unlikely to think that this would be a conspiracy of the Song army to lure the enemy deep and find an opportunity to break the enemy. After all, they lost too badly in this battle under the city of Hangzhou, and there is no reason to spend such a big price to set a trap in this world. What's more, Fang Shifo led the army to chase and fight fiercely, which was also a decision he made for a while, and it was completely out of the control of the Song army.

What's the problem? Why do I always feel that something is going to happen? After being silent for a long time, Pang Wanchun still couldn't come up with an accurate idea, so he could only regard it as his own worry.

Subsequently, the soldiers in Hangzhou continued to be busy, in addition to the need to defend the gates and heads of the cities on all sides, they also had to deal with a large number of Song soldiers who had surrendered their weapons or were captured alive. The number of these people was not small, and the thunderstorm stopped and it was dark before the captives were properly placed. Of course, there will be many more captives to be escorted over, but the work is over for the time being.

At this time, Fang La had also returned to his palace, as the emperor, although he could not be compared with the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, it was impossible for him to stay on the front line all the time and get together with the soldiers. But before he finished the dinner he had just delivered, a report was sent from the palace gate asking Fang Fei to see him.

Fang La felt quite strange about this, but he still immediately announced the person in.

At this time, Fang Fei looked completely different from just now, the previous calmness and joy of winning were long gone, and the whole person looked extremely embarrassed, and he didn't even care about the residual rain on his body, he was completely depressed and distracted.

It wasn't until he met Fang La's concerned and inquiring gaze that he was shocked and knelt down abruptly: "Your Majesty, it's not good...... Ten Buddhas, he ......"

"What happened to the Ten Buddhas?" Fang La's heart was immediately raised high again, and he couldn't care about the king's majesty, so he walked out from behind the case in one fell swoop, grabbed Fang Fei's hand and asked urgently.

"Ten Buddhas died in battle under Lin'an City, he died ......" After taking a deep breath, Fang Fei finally told this terrible fact. Even if this news came out of his mouth now, he still couldn't believe that it was true, Fang Shi Buddha actually died in battle like this? Died at the end of an already victorious battle?

Fang La was stunned for an instant, and the whole person froze there, his hands clenched hard unconsciously, almost breaking Fang Fei's hand bones. The latter didn't dare to have any struggle, nor did he dare to disturb loudly, because he knew very well the intimate relationship between Fang La and Fang Shifo, and this matter was too big a blow to his own emperor.

After being stunned for a long time, Fang La's body began to tremble violently, and then shouted loudly: "This is impossible! The Ten Buddhas are obviously pursuing the victory, how can they be killed? His martial arts are even more rarely opposed, how can he be killed? ”

"Your Majesty......" Fang Fei endured the pain in his hands and said in a trembling voice: "This is the news that the front-line soldiers have just brought back, they have seen the Ten Buddhas killed by the Song generals in battle...... It was the Shandong army, Sun Tu actually led the Shandong army to ambush outside Lin'an City early in the morning, and the ten Buddhas were eager to kill the enemy, but they fell into their trap and were killed...... "Although he knew that this was an extremely cruel thing, he still told the ins and outs of the matter.

Fang La's hand tightened again, his face had turned from iron blue to pale, and his body trembled more and more: "Sun Tu...... Shandong Military ...... We don't share the heavens with you! After shouting this sentence in a heart-rending manner, he suddenly let out a wow, and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

This shocked Fang Fei a lot, so he quickly bounced up from the ground, and supported the crumbling Fang La, and then shouted in a hissed voice: "Come on, come on, go and ask the imperial doctor to come and treat Your Majesty......"

With this shout, the entire palace was suddenly in chaos, a large number of guards hurriedly came, and went to the side hall with Fang La, Fang Fei didn't care about his identity as a foreign minister at this time, and followed closely, and he still felt a little blamed in his heart, he shouldn't have reported the news to the emperor so directly.

In fact, he knew that Fang La had a deep relationship with Fang Shi Buddha, and he also knew that the news of this death would cause the emperor's mind to be in turmoil, but he still didn't expect that the matter would be so serious.

Fang La was able to rise suddenly from Wuzhou as a small person, and laid down a large area of land, so that he later became the emperor, among them, the two people with the greatest credit were Fang Fei and Fang Shifo. The brothers of these two clans are literate and martial, and they are their right-hand men when they started from the bottom.

Over the course of a few years, the three brothers grew stronger and stronger in one battle after another, eventually establishing the state of Wu. Fang La became the king of a country, Fang Fei became the prime minister of Wu, but Fang Shifo, the one with the greatest meritorious service and the most enemies, his status in the court was not as good as Pang Wanchun and Jiang Shihu, who joined later.

The reason for this is that the Ten Buddhas are too reckless and easy to kill after all, although they have made countless meritorious contributions, they have also caused a lot of trouble.

But even so, in Fang La's heart, his position is still not under Fang Fei, and no one can replace him. Even if Fang Shifo suffered a lot of defeats before and lost a few cities because of this, Fang La didn't blame him, because in his eyes, Fang Shifo was his own relatives and younger brothers, even if the status of the monarch and minister was determined early, but the brotherhood had never changed in the slightest.

But now, the brother he valued and cherished was suddenly killed in battle, and he was suddenly killed after a seemingly victorious battle, the blow was too cruel and too unexpected for him to accept it for a while, and his heart was shaken and his internal organs were injured.

Fortunately, Fang La is in his prime, and he has no pain, so this time the vomiting of blood did not bring a worse effect, after the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, as long as the medicine is rested, it can be cured. It's just that in this way, it scared a cadre of courtiers half to death, Fang Shifo was recklessly pursued and killed, and the heavy casualties of the army he brought were enough to give people a headache, and now as the king of a country, the emperor who was the backbone of everyone suddenly fell again, once the news leaked, the blow to the Wu army was too heavy.

So when Fang Fei left the palace and returned to his mansion, all the important officials of the court were already waiting there......
