Chapter 72: Hard Times
What should I do if I am in such a nervous state? I can only send my only main force Ronan to reinforce Beizhou, if you don't go up, Beizhou will be gone, now I understand what Shi Qi means by taking troops in Beizhou, you Fan Liang used strategies when he beat our rebel army, what kind of encirclement point do you send reinforcements, what do you do to divide the harmony between these soldiers of us, do you think the rebel army will not deal with you like this?
The rebel army did the same, didn't Ronan be transferred, wasn't he transferred to Beizhou? Okay, is there no one under your Fan Li, come, the soldiers of the rebel army, rush me! Shi Qi directly transferred hundreds of thousands of troops from the east, west, south, north and south directions to attack the place where Fan Liang was, which was basically surrounding, so that Fan Li would be stupid. What am I going to fight with? Ji Bu is dead, Ronan went to Beizhou to support outsiders, what else do I support, I can't do it myself.
Hurry up and write to Hu Linzhi: Hurry up! Transfer Ronan back to me! But Ronan didn't come back, why didn't he come back? Because at this time, Ronan had already died in battle, but Fan Li didn't know.
How did Ronan die in battle? It's that when he arrived in the territory of Beizhou, he thought about directly killing Beizhou City, and I made a surprise attack. The rebels certainly didn't think that I would dare to run to them as soon as I came here.
So Ronan rushed, but rushed to the bottom of Beizhou City, hit the cannonball, struggled for seven days, and died in the barracks.
When Ronan was dying, he wrote a letter to Fan Li, which was tear-jerking, and the letter said: More than 20 years ago, I met my brother at the foot of Gaomei Mountain, gathered the love of flesh and blood, and in the past four years, I followed my brother to found brave soldiers, relying on my brother's virtue and talent, and the brave soldiers went out of Huzhou, Xiachangzhou, and Tuotian Town, and became famous all over the world. I really expect to gallop with my brother and make contributions, but I didn't expect to break up in the middle way, the grand wish is unfulfilled, and the sky is long! I still remember that when I left Ganzhou, my brother repeatedly told me that your soldiers were less than 5,000, and the thieves were often tens of thousands. Nan's failure this time happened to be defeated in the division of troops, and his brother's words are in his ears, and he can't regret it!
What are you talking about? It's just that I didn't listen to you, big brother, you made me steady, I didn't listen, I got stuck, I ventured, I was hairy, and now I'm finished.
It's useless to regret it, there is no regret medicine in the world! Later, it was also written: I will say goodbye to my brother today, and it is useful to stand still in a hurry, and it is difficult to talk about thousands of words, and I hope that my brother will cherish the country.
After reading this letter, Fan Liang was about to collapse, very, very painful, but the pain was useless, there was no way! What was Fan Li's idea at that time? Okay, since no one can help me, then I will fight with others, all the people in the city, as long as they are with the masters, over fifteen years old, under fifty years old, give me to go to the city to resist, and find someone to watch there with a big knife and pestle, when the enemy comes, everyone fights together, if anyone dares to retreat, the big knife will stand that side, and I will cut one to death when one comes back, and I will kill one when I come back, and I will kill one when I come back.
This is a very common technique, because after all, these people are not professional soldiers, and many people are actually not psychologically prepared when they face life and death. When you see blood flowing in front of you, one of them will lead a lot of runners.
Seeing that the jade was about to be burned, the rebel army withdrew! Fan Li was very surprised, he didn't understand what was going on, why? Is God helping me? As a result, I later learned the news, why did the rebel army withdraw? It was because the Tiger Ben Army hit Jinzhou of the rebel army. Shi Qi was ordered by Zhang Xiuhong to bring people back to Jinzhou to relieve the siege.
So at this time, these rebel armies surrounding Fan Fence were withdrawn, and Fan Fence could be delayed for two days, so is this siege lifted after it is removed? Neither is it! Although Shi Qi is gone, there are still rebel armies in Ganzhou, and nine places have been occupied by the rebel army, and there are only 13 prefectures and counties in Ganzhou, and nine of them are in the hands of the rebel army.
Therefore, Fan Li's predicament in Ganzhou has reached its peak. So at this time, how to solve this siege? It's really relieved, because his younger brother Fan Jiu came with soldiers, and as soon as Shi Qi withdrew, he entered Ganzhou, and when he came in, he won a battle.
Then this news reached Fan Li's ears, this is simply a person who is about to starve to death and got a bean bag! This is the straw that saves lives, Fan Li is very, very happy.
So why did Fan Jiu come at this time? Here I will talk about Fan Li's younger brothers and family, saying that at that time, Fan Li asked Hu Linzhi for help, and said that when you can send Ronan back, he sent a lot of letters.
But Ronan didn't come back because he died, right? Actually, no, it's because the letter he sent didn't pass at all, and the rebels intercepted it, and the information was not available, even if Ronan wasn't dead, he couldn't receive the letter.
But Fan Liang was in such a difficult situation, although Hu Linzhi didn't know about it, but Luo Yu, the governor of Huzhou, knew about it, so he hurriedly sent people into Ganzhou from two roads to help Fan Li.
Do you think about this news, it has spread to Huzhou, can Fan Li's family not know? His father thought, what's the matter, Hu Linzhi doesn't send troops, how can this be done, you can't ignore Ganzhou because your Beizhou is difficult, my son is still there? When you needed it, my son sent soldiers to you, and now my son is dying, and you don't help, can that work?
Hurriedly sent his son Fan Ming, saying that you should go to Beizhou quickly, you must meet Hu Linzhi in person, you invite this soldier to me, and this Fan Ming will go.
Fan Li's younger brothers, there are four, Fan Ming, Fan Jiu, Fan Bao, Fan Huang, this Fan Ming is more special, at that time, Fan Li's uncle had no son, so he sent Fan Ming over, although he is Fan Li's younger brother of the same father and mother, but in terms of ethical relationship, they have become uncle and brother.
So what Fan Liang did before had nothing to do with Fan Ming, what Fan Liang really took out to roam the rivers and lakes was his youngest brother Fan Bao, Fan Bao helped Fan Liang to do things as early as when his eldest brother was training in Huzhou.
Moreover, as I said before, when Fan Li was running a water army, Fan Bao also recommended Peng Yulong and Wang Fu to his eldest brother. It's just that because his health was not very good later, he went home, but he was not idle when he went home, urging Fan Huang and Fan Ming to hold a group practice at home, and also to make a reserve for this Fan Li's brave soldiers.
It was also because of his experience in military training that Fan Li's father sent Fan Ming to recruit soldiers. Then Fan Ming set off, and after he set off, he found Hu Linzhi and told Hu Linzhi about it, and when Hu Linzhi heard it, I will go! There is also this matter, hurry up and transfer people, basically get about 4,000 people, hand it over to Commander Fan Ming, and say that you hurry up and save your eldest brother.
