On the 25th day of the winter month, Jiangnan, Hangzhou.

Jiangnan Provincial transfer made Lu Boran be pressed to the ground by a lot of flowers, and in front of him was Tong Mu, the prefect of Hangzhou, with a warm smile. Before today, Lu Boran would never have thought that this young prefect, who was usually polite and good at talking, would suddenly turn his face against him, and also took down the 100 cronies and soldiers he brought.

You must know that he came to see Tong Mu today just to ask why the government suddenly ordered the blockade of both sides of the land and water, causing the taxes, money and grain of this year that he was anxious to transport to Tokyo were delayed for several days. I didn't want to be like I was caught in a net, and as soon as I entered the gate of the mansion, I was quickly disarmed and taken down by the hundreds of people and horses who were ambushed inside, and I couldn't even resist at all.

It wasn't until he calmed down a little that Lu Boran shouted: "Governor Tong, what do you mean by this?" This official is the three-grade transfer envoy of the imperial court, are you going to rebel? ”

To his surprise, Tong Mu immediately nodded at this time and said, "You are right, this official is going to rebel." ”

"You...... Are you crazy......" Lu Boran's eyes widened, and the emotions of panic and doubt instantly occupied his entire mind, and he didn't know what to say.

And Tong Mu walked up to him with a smile, and said with some regret: "In the past two years, I also know that you Lu Boran is a good official, you have never used your power for personal gain, and you are even more conscientious in your work. However, after all, you were sent by the imperial court to keep an eye on Jiangnan's money and grain, and what I have to do next is to cut off the roads from Jiangnan to Tokyo, so I can only wronged you. ”

"You...... Do you really want to rebel? Don't forget, Fang La's defeat is just around the corner! Lu Boran immediately shouted loudly, making a final effort.

But Tong Mu smiled disdainfully: "You, a person who has only been an official in Tokyo for a few years, deserve to talk to me about the Fangla Rebellion?" However, I can tell you one thing, I never thought of using a corner of the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the imperial court, and in fact I am only here to cooperate with those who are rising in the north. Cutting off the money and grain that is being transported to Tokyo is just the beginning, and next, our Jiangnan army will go north along the waterway and go straight to Tokyo! ”

"You...... Why is that? ”

"It seems that your news is indeed too lagging behind, and I don't know that as early as last month, General Sun Tusun, the Marquis of Yuehou in the north, was on the side of the Qing monarch, and he had led his army south to take Tokyo directly, maybe he would be able to join us in Bianliang City soon." Tong Mu said this fact with a smile, and then waved his hand and ordered someone to take Lu Boran, who was already stunned, down. After all, this person did not do anything wrong in Jiangnan, so he did not kill him completely, but only took the matter.

In fact, at the same time that Lu Boran was detained, many officials in Hangzhou City were all taken down. They all have one thing in common, that is, they were all deliberately arranged by the imperial court to come to Hangzhou in the past two years, trying to take away the local military, political and financial power from Tong Mu and other Sun Tu henchmen.

But after all, Sun Tu didn't leave Jiangnan for a long time, Yu Wei still existed, and there was still a large army led by General Song Jiang Dong Ping here more than half a year ago, coupled with Tong Mu's wrist ability, it was naturally impossible for the officials to have the slightest chance.

Therefore, compared with Shandong, the impact of taking down a group of officials here is smaller, and the speed is faster, and in just one day, all the relevant people have been put into prison. By the dawn of the next day, Tong Mu had already led Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong and other generals loyal to Sun Tu to gather the soldiers and horses in the city, and preached the slogan of raising troops about the Qing monarch's side and the army's self-improvement that Sun Tu had passed early in the morning.

As soon as this slogan came out, it immediately won a burst of cheers from all the soldiers, and almost no mobilization was used, and the generals of all armies have stepped forward to ask for battle, hoping that all the soldiers and horses here in the south of the Yangtze River will immediately cooperate with General Sun to go north and wave the army to Bianliang, Tokyo.

Seeing this, Tong Mu was naturally overjoyed, and waved his hand without hesitation: "This official also has this intention." Therefore, pass on my order, and the whole army will prepare for three days, and set off early on the morning of the 29th! On the side of the Qing monarch, kill the traitor, and raise the prestige of my warriors! ”

When the soldiers and horses of Hangzhou City began to prepare to set off for the north, other cities in the south of the Yangtze River also responded to follow suit. Just like Hangzhou, the cities in the south of the Yangtze River have been arranged because Sun Tu has arranged them before, and at this moment, almost all of them have taken all the military power into the hands of their own people in the blink of an eye, and then they all raised troops and marched towards the north together with the main force of Hangzhou.

When entering the wax moon, the whole territory of Jiangnan not only completely cut off the supply of money and food to Tokyo, but also raised 150,000 troops, claiming to be 300,000 troops, and went straight to Tokyo to kill.

Jiangnan and Shandong, one south and one north, Sun Tu's two base areas have responded at the same time. At the same time, Sun Tu led the army to break dozens of cities, and the news that swept the entire territory of Hebei has also spread to the world, and suddenly the government and the opposition shook in all directions, and a not difficult choice was placed in front of local officials in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty.

Obviously, with the weakness of the military strength in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty today, even if those generals had not been bewitched by Sun Tu's sentence "The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty should be self-reliant", it would be impossible to really stop the menacing hundreds of thousands of thieves. What's more, these civil officials have to worry that once they call the king of attendance, they will not be allowed by the soldiers below, and even have the tragedy of being killed by the military generals. So, naturally, they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they didn't dare to have the slightest idea of King Qin.

The Great Song Dynasty may not have a shortage of loyal ministers, but at least few of these civil officials who were sent to the local area dared to die for the country. What's more, Sun Tu played the banner of the Qing monarch, and he didn't say that he was really going to rebel. So these people only chose to deceive themselves and wait and see.

There are also some corrupt officials who know that they are guilty of their crimes, and after learning that they are on the route of the thief army, they immediately abandon their officials and flee, without the slightest heart to resist.

As a result, in just over ten days, the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty have been lost one after another, and the changes in the imperial court have been in an instant. It seems that everything only depends on whether the Yellow River, which is regarded as a natural danger by everyone, can stop the footsteps of more than 100,000 thieves to the south, and all the burdens have been pressed on Zhang Shuye, who has been sticking to the south bank of the Yellow River.

In fact, in addition to the countless officials and people in the Great Song Dynasty who are paying attention to the trend of this mutiny, there are also people in the Great Song Dynasty who have made up their minds about this.

The Western Xia Kingdom suddenly sent troops to the east on the third day of the lunar month and tried to launch an invasion of the Great Song Dynasty. However, half of the main force of the Western Army has returned to the border, and there are even divisions in it, and with the issuance of military orders one after another, the Guancheng on the Western Front has already achieved the ultimate in defense.

What was even more unexpected for the Western Xia army was that in a small frontal clash later, their proud heavy cavalry Iron Harrier was entangled by the cavalry of the Song army, and the cavalry strength of the other party was not under the Western Xia Kingdom. It turned out that as early as when he asked the seed division to lead the troops back to the west, Sun Tu gave a large number of horses to the western army in order to make up for the loss of his troops.

These horses were all good horses taken from the Liao and Jin armies, and even surpassed the horses produced in the Hetao area, and the number reached 50,000. This time, he really killed the Western Xia army by surprise. In addition, the Song army also used firearms such as breaking bullets and thunderbolt arrows this time, and directly killed the 5,000 elite soldiers of Western Xia without leaving a single piece of armor.

At this moment, the Western Xia Kingdom, which had just settled down from the domestic turmoil, suddenly dispelled the idea of taking the opportunity to go east, and could only obediently retreat back to his own country. Then, he also sent envoys one after another to explain to the Song army, only saying that it was the attack on the Great Song Dynasty launched by some traitorous ministers in the court and the central government on their own initiative, and he also sent dozens of heads.

In this regard, the seed master was naturally full of understanding, and also said that the Great Song Dynasty would never blame the Western Xia for this, and the two sides were still the state of monarchs and ministers, and would not retaliate and act in vain. Of course, it is not known whether his intention was really not to start another war, or whether he wanted to wait for the domestic situation to calm down before sending troops to retaliate.

In addition to Western Xia, the greater trouble for the Great Song Dynasty was the Liao State.

Therefore, the pressure on the Seed Master Dao and Yue Fei who stayed in Youzhou is really not small. However, soon, as the fine work brought back the changes within the Liao Kingdom, the old and the young were also relieved.

But it was the Liao State that actually broke out at the same time mutiny, it was Yelu Dashi who suddenly attacked, and launched a surprise attack on Yelu Yanxi who wanted to take him for blame, and after only one battle, he killed the Liao Emperor who had just returned to Shangjing and escaped, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties.

As Sun Tu expected before, in order to cover up his mistakes, Yelu Yanxi naturally wanted to find someone to blame for the blame. And Yelu Dashi and Yelu Xiongge, who lost the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and lost their troops, naturally became the targets of his dumping.

As a result, Yelu Xiongge, who was more loyal, was directly forced to death, but Yelu Dashi did not give in, and directly shouted the slogan that the defeat of the Liao State was all due to the mediocrity of the Liao Emperor, and then almost synchronously with Sun Tu raised troops to resist. With his prestige and ability, he actually entered the capital city in just over a month, and achieved a phased victory earlier than Sun Tu.

If Xiao Gan hadn't led his troops to strike in time, I was afraid that Yelu Yanxi, the Great Liao Emperor, would really be killed. But in this way, it is a greater disaster for the Liao State, the confrontation between the two sides, quickly tore the already strong Liao State in half, in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner, which means that the Liao State may also be divided.

There have been such changes in Liao, and it is naturally impossible to be distracted, which also makes many soldiers on the front line of Youzhou breathe a sigh of relief. And Yue Fei admired Sun Tu even more because of this, and he was more confident in his southward journey: "General, I believe that even the danger of the Yellow River will not be able to stop your feat of eliminating traitors for the country!" ”
