"Du Wei is such a waste, not to mention ruining my entire plan, and now he is actually dead directly!"

It was late at night, in the city of Hangzhou, Fang La's hands were behind his back, standing alone in his room at the main altar of Mingjiao, hanging in front of him was a map of the twenty-three roads in the world, and its level of detail, I am afraid that even Zhao Ji came here in person, he would be surprised.

At this time, Fang La remembered the events of today's day.

Today, the more than 90 top masters who were originally sent to hunt down Song Jiang and Chen Hoop not only failed to complete the task, but also killed a sect elder like Du Wei, and Xu Fang was also seriously injured and life and death were unpredictable.

This is a terrible leap, and it is also a complete waste!

"It seems that when the last resort comes, I have to ask Mr. Wang and Gao Yu to come forward."

Fang La put down the pen in his hand and sighed heavily, the development of things was really beyond his expectations, he could never have imagined that Dong Shuang would capture the entire territory of Shandong in just four years.

Now, this Dong Shuang, his strength is enough to stand at the level of the pinnacle of the world, and he will go head-to-head with the main forces of Da Song and Dajin!

According to Xu Guanzhong's original plan, with Li Tianyan Si Xingfang leading 100,000 troops to the Northern Expedition, and Gao Yu as an ally of the dark army, Fang La had a chance to win the east of Caozhou in one fell swoop.

However, he really couldn't imagine that Dong Shuang's power was so terrifying!

"Wu Song, the first one to kill you when the time comes, naturally it will be our party."

Fang La slammed his fist on the wall and just shouted angrily, if it weren't for Gao Yu's own inability to protect himself now, if Ying Tian wanted to kill you and Wu Song, it would be as easy as a snap!

It's just that before the emergency moment of life and death, he doesn't want to ask that person for help, after all, once some things are launched, I'm afraid the whole world will be shaken by it at that time!

"Speaking of which, what's going on with Gao Yu? I waited for a few years to contact, and I said that I would attack Huainan together, and he would raise troops accordingly, why is he now under house arrest by Zhao Ji'er? ”

Fang La only couldn't understand this matter, he originally relied on the secret help of Gao Yu to dare to raise troops against the Song Dynasty.

Now Gao Yu doesn't know where to go, and the person he sent to find it a few days ago is also missing, if Wang Qingzhong and Xiang don't agree to form an alliance, then they can only go to Mr. Wang in person.

In the final analysis, his own foundation is not strong enough, and Fang La is also aware of this matter, so he is looking for people to form an alliance everywhere to ensure that the Song Dynasty will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

As soon as Gao Yu was placed under house arrest this time, Fang La immediately became much more honest, and he didn't dare to start a large-scale war, but he almost became a good baby.

However, now that this person surnamed Xu is willing to help me, it is naturally a good thing, hehe, Fang La just sneered.

The most important thing now is to get rid of Song Jiang first, subdue his forces and that Chen hoop bucket, and solve the biggest trouble in front of him.

Fang La asked himself that he had no chance of winning against the Song Dynasty alone, but this time he used the strength of the whole sect to go on an expedition to clear the Song River, and Fang La was still very sure that he would be completely solved.

Thinking of this, Fang La returned to the bookcase, packed up the official documents, and was about to leave, but saw a person walking over in front of the case, what did he look like, but see:

Twenty-eight beauties, with fine hair like jade, and a clear face

The eyes are like autumn water, and it is the road of youth

Fang La saw that it was Princess Jinzhi who came, the princess of Jinzhi was sixteen years old, she was Fang La's only daughter, she was the most loved since she was a child, everything depended on her, she was smart and clever, read through the classics, knew music, Fang La also asked someone to teach her the six arts, she was proficient in bows and arrows, and learned a lot of poetry and books.

"You came just in time, I will go out of the city on an expedition to defeat Caokou Song Jiang in the near future, Jin Zhi can go with your imperial uncle to guard Qingxi Da Nei, stay away from the war here, and don't fall behind to study, ask the imperial uncle for advice on weekdays, so as to wait for my triumph."

Fang La saw that it was Fang Jinzhi coming, and immediately smiled. He has always valued this daughter the most, and even wanted to pass on the position of sect leader to her in the future, but later gave up because of the strong opposition of Lou Minzhong and everyone.

was silent for a long time, but Princess Jinzhi wanted to speak and stopped, and Fang La said: "Daughter, no matter what, it doesn't hurt to say it in front of your father."

"Father, although Jin Zhi is a woman, she also knows a little about the world's major events on weekdays, such as today's chaos, the Song Dynasty is the target of everyone, although we and other people from all walks of life do not have the name of the alliance, but they have the same purpose."

Jin Zhi was silent for a moment, but still said: "And although the Song Dynasty is crumbling, it still occupies most of the world, although Song Jiang went south to conflict with my Mingjiao this time, and there is no hatred when he thinks about it, then Song Jiang is also a hero, and his forces are not weak, so he ......"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Fang La's tone was also a little low.

"From the little girl's point of view, why not form an alliance with it, so that you can not only have one less strong enemy, but also add one stronger reinforcement when you seize the Central Plains in the future, wouldn't it be better than two strong fighting and benefiting others?"

Princess Jin Zhi bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a long time, and after lingering in the house for a long time, she finally said something.

Fang La was silent after hearing this, and said for a long time: "Although Jin Zhi's strategy is good, our army and Song Jiang have been chasing and killing for a long time during the day, and there are many casualties on both sides, and they have already formed a grudge against each other, how can we talk about the alliance?"

Fang Jinzhi said with a smile: "Song Jiang is determined to be in the world, but the big enemy in front of him is the Song Dynasty, now as long as my father takes the initiative to form an alliance against the Song Dynasty, Song Jiang naturally understands who is light and who is important."

"What if he doesn't?" Fang Lap Road.

"If he still insists on fighting, it will be Song Jiang who will give someone a handle, and then our army will be famous, and it will not be too late to use swords and soldiers at that time." Jin Zhi said with a smile.

"She is worthy of being my daughter, much smarter than your eldest brother, this plan is very good, I will follow your plan."

Fang La listened to Fang Jinzhi's thoughts, and immediately said with joy in his heart.

This plan is really good, as long as someone is sent to Luoyang now, if Song Jiang refuses to form an alliance in public, he is justified first.

"My father has a good reputation, how can the little girl be compared with the eldest brother, but today there is another request, the little girl wants to go to the army with her father, thinking that her father will share her worries, and she also asks her father to agree."

Seeing Fang La's praise like this, Jin Zhi was immediately a little embarrassed, his cheeks were slightly red, and he hurriedly responded.

When Fang La heard this, he said in a serious tone: "No, the battlefield is a life-and-death battle, how can you go as a woman, you can go to Qingxi with peace of mind, don't think about it."

Jin Zhi saw that Fang La's tone was resolute, although he had grievances in his heart, he had to ask for peace first, and went back to his room.

"This old man, if you are a self-appointed sect leader, you won't take Miss Ben's words seriously, if you provoke Miss Ben, I will find my second brother to help!"

When Jin Zhi returned to the room, he was still angry, wanting to go to the army incognito, but he was afraid that he would not know that the military plane would be discovered, so he finally had to temporarily dispel this idea, and at the third watch, he slowly fell asleep.

After a few days, the scouts reported that Han Shizhong's army in the northern part of the Jiangbei Dynasty seemed to have moved, and it was rumored that Dong Shuang had returned to China, so Fang La ordered Fang Jie to unify the main force of the Mingjiao army of 150,000, worship Xu Guanzhong as a military advisor, and the generals Li Tianyan, Pang Wanchun, Xia Houcheng, Bai Qin, Jingde, etc., rushed to Hangzhou from the starry night of Qingxi to support, and let Si Xingfang and Deng Yuanjue train troops in Qingxi and Shezhou, in order to launch a sweep of the world in one fell swoop in troubled times.

Hangzhou Taishou was already a member of the Fang family, so naturally this city had become Fang La's lair, but Zhao Ji was kept in the dark and didn't know it.

Fang La also ordered Lu Shisang and Qian Zhenpeng to transfer the rest of the troops and horses to Shezhou and Muzhou to strengthen the defense, as the first line of defense in Da Nei and the follow-up troops to reinforce Hangzhou.

Then, Fang Labai Lou Minzhong was the military division, and ordered Li Tianyou, He Conglong, and Wu Yingxing to lead 5,000 firearms troops and 1,000 silver armor guards to march from the Qiantang River waterway, and the four dragons of Jiangsu and Zhejiang led more than 30,000 elite naval troops in the south of the Yangtze River to escort gunpowder and artillery along the way, and the army drove to Hangzhou.

Fang La also sent Taiwei Pu Wenying to Wang Qing and Zhong to discuss the alliance, and the distribution was decided at the moment, and the generals set off without mentioning it.

And at the same time, Tokyo, Taiweifu.

"What did you say!"

Gao Yu grabbed the collar of the scout in front of him, and his eyes were completely gloomy.

"Return, Lord Taiwei, Dong Shuang has already decided to go to Goryeo, in addition, the thousands of men and horses sent to patrol the vicinity of Gaotang, as well as the head of the forbidden army, and Cheng Ziming, the supervisor of Caozhou soldiers and horses, do not know life and death!"

When Gao Yu heard this, he immediately sat on the chair, but his face was extremely gloomy.

"Lord Taiwei, according to the last general, it is a good thing that Dong Shuang is not in Shandong, and now he should quickly dispatch Yingtian, and the strength of that person, to avenge Dong Shuang's repeated heavy injuries to Yingtian, take the opportunity to attack Shandong, and attack his rear, so that it will be a great success, otherwise it will be even more difficult to deal with when he comes back!"

Xiang Yuanzhen saw that it was difficult for Gao Yu to make decisions, and also put forward his own opinions, after all, according to the current trend, it is only a matter of time before Dong Shuang's forces unify the world, if he sends troops to the east now, he may be able to defeat Dong Shuang in one fell swoop!

Gao Yu listened, thought for a moment and said, "It's not proper, you don't need to say it, I will decide this matter myself."

Then, Gao Yu just stood up and looked at the sky in the distance, and said with a sneer: "It's not time for that person to appear, hehe, but now, another little flea has started to jump!" ”

After speaking, Gao Yu just looked in the direction of Luoyang on the map.

Hehe, wait for the ten knots to bring the soldiers and horses together, and then I will launch the forbidden army, which will inevitably turn the world upside down!

Looking into the distance with gloomy eyes, Gao Yu put his hands behind his back and just sneered.

Xiang Yuanzhen saw Gao Yu say this, so he had to give up, and Gao Yu ordered all the troops to secretly reorganize their armies and war, and transfer all the grain, grass and weapons from Henan and Hebei to Caozhou, only to take the preemptive strike when the time came to deal with Dong Shuang.

Five days later.

"Although this Zhong Xiang is from a rogue background, he also has some ability!"

A person dressed as a scholar stood outside the imperial city, and couldn't help but sigh in his mouth, in this Jiangling City, it was originally an important city in the south of the Song Dynasty, second only to Xiangyang, and the Song army had at least tens of thousands of people stationed here, and its importance is self-evident.

In fact, he has always wondered how these tens of thousands of elite soldiers were withdrawn from the Shaanxi border not long ago, worthy of the name of the elite of a hundred battles, and under the command of the famous general Zhang Shuye, how could the defenders abandon the city and flee, so that the entire territory of Jingxiang was lost in a few months?

If it weren't for the fact that more than 100 members of Zhong Xiang's entire clan were killed by Zhang Shuye's order in Xiangyang a few months ago, he would have wondered if this person had joined forces with the Song Dynasty to act for them to see!

Speaking of this Uncle Zhang, he had been dealing with Dong Shuang's front line, but Gao Yu thought that he was not his confidant, so he transferred him to resist Zhong Xiang and asked Han Cunbao to go to Caozhou to be the Taishou.

"That's it, I don't want to do so much, let's take a look first."

The scholar shook his head, thinking of this, he was about to step in, when suddenly a loud shout came.

"Whoever trespasses on the important land of the imperial city, take it with me!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen spears were already on his body, and the leader said in a loud voice: "Boy, if you want to live, it's best to recruit your identity from the truth!"

This man shook his head and nodded again, and he couldn't linger outside the city wall for more than half an hour, and no matter who looked at him, he couldn't get rid of the spies!

The scholar looked around, sneered, and said without humility or arrogance: "If you go to inform the King of Chu, it means that Pu Wenying, the deputy military advisor under the Holy Prince, has something to discuss."

The leader was stunned for a moment, and then looked at it carefully, judging from the temperament of his speech, this person is indeed not like a layman, at least he is also a character.

"Look at this person, and wait for me to enter the palace and report to Your Majesty before we discuss."

After thinking about it for a while, the man still decided to ask for instructions before deciding, after all, in this troubled world, there are many people who come to meet the king of Chu, and if he neglects talents because of his own negligence, it will be worth the loss.

"Uncle Zhang, this thief is so vicious, he is determined to personally send an army to attack Xiangyang and kill all the thieves Zhang!"

Zhong Xiang was discussing the march to Xiangyang with the generals in the past few days, but suddenly learned that the whole clan was slaughtered by the Song army, and immediately fainted, and when he woke up, his eyes were still wide open, vowing to take revenge.

This Zhong Xiang was Wang Qing's general, but his ambitions were high, unwilling to live under the fence, three years ago, Wang Qing ordered his troops to break through Jingnan's Wuling, Lingling two places, Zhong Xiang recruited troops in Jingnan, gathered an army of 100,000 in a few months, dozens of fierce generals, Jingxiang famous man Yang Qi inexplicably came to defect, Zhong Xiang was overjoyed, and used it as prime minister.

At that time, Qiao Daoqing and Ma Ling defected to Wang Qing because they were dissatisfied with Tian Hu's desire to surrender to the Jin people, and when they rebelled with Wang Qing's army, because they were dissatisfied with Wang Qing as a man and were afraid of being used to consume their own strength, they turned to follow Zhong Xiang, and were named the national teacher and general by Zhong Xiang, and the two led the army to Jingbei, occupying Guiyang, Nanjun and Jiangxia in a few months, and in April, Kejiangling City, Zhong Xiang called himself the king of Chu, and embraced the land of five counties, with Jiangling as the capital, and the scenery was infinite for a while.

After another half a month, Xiangyang because of the famous general Zhang Shuye guarded, the Chu army could not fight for a long time, Zhong Xiang gradually wanted to have fun, and had no intention of enterprising, so he ordered Ma Ling to withdraw his troops to Jiangling to defend, unexpectedly, Zhang Shuye used advanced troops, and had already set up an ambush, intercepting and killing the Chu army for a while, with more than 10,000 dead and wounded, and dozens of Zhong Xiang's relatives were also captured in the chaos, which can be described as a fiasco.

Now that he heard that the entire clan was slaughtered by the Song army, how could he not be angry?

"Your Majesty, the Song army is powerful, our army has been defeated in Xiangyang for a while, and now there is a lack of money and food, we should rest and recuperate for a few months, and then form an alliance with other forces, so as to deal with the soldiers of the pseudo-Song Dynasty, I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Yang Qi saw that Zhong Xiang was angry, and he was also secretly shocked, he was afraid that he would send troops to the front line again, after all, they had just been defeated in Xiangyang half a month ago, and this family really couldn't withstand such a toss!

Zhong Xiang saw that Yang Qi's words were conclusive, and he usually obeyed his words, and his heart was also hesitant, and when he was about to answer, the guards reported that Zhou Jielun, the commander of the forbidden army, asked to see him, and Zhong Xiang ordered him to enter the palace, but Zhou Jielun reported that a person who claimed to be the deputy military division of Mingjiao came to visit.

Zhong Xiang frowned, but still invited Pu Wenying in, in this troubled world, there is no doubt that paying attention to talents comes first, and he has long had the idea of cooperating with Fang La, and today he happened to discuss the alliance with Pu Wenying.

Pu Wenying saw Zhong Xiang and said to himself: "Below is Pu Wenying, the left deputy military division of the Ming Sect, this time I came on the order of my lord, and I would like to ask the king of Chu to form an alliance with us, and when we seize the world afterwards, we will divide the land north of the river with the king of Chu equally."

"Oh, is it true?"

Zhong Xiang was also happy when he heard this, now he can not only reach an alliance, but also obtain half of the counties in Huainan, which is really a good deal.

"No words! If the king of Chu does not believe it, he can read the official document of my lord. ”

Zhong Xiang asked people to take the official document and read it, and if it was really Fang La's handwriting seal, he immediately laughed and said: "Sect Master Fang is really heroic, if there is a chance, I want to get acquainted."

"Spread the will of Gu, the Jiangling garrison will transfer 20,000 troops and go to Jiangnan to assist the sect leader!"

Zhong Xiang paused, looked up, and saw that none of the ministers under the steps had different opinions, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he said again.

"I don't know which general is willing to lead the army and go to take on this great task and raise the prestige of my Great Chu State?"

"I'm waiting to go!"

As soon as Zhong Xiang's voice fell, he heard a shout from the bottom of the stairs, and when everyone looked, it was Zhenwei General Zhang Yinglei and Yunxiang General Xin Congzhong.

Zhong Xiang was overjoyed and said: "The two generals are the pillars of the country, and if two of them make a move, they will be able to sit back and relax."

"I am willing to serve His Majesty and never give up!"

Zhang Yinglei and Congzhong knelt on one knee, took the military order, and glanced at each other, but they each sneered in their hearts.

Zhong Xiang saw that the situation had been decided, so he asked the two generals to set off within three days, and let the ministers disperse, Pu Wenying thanked him again and again, and then said goodbye to Zhong Xiang and went to Luoyang.

Late at night, inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Brother Qiao, today Your Majesty wants to send troops to Jiangnan to aid Fang La, which is obviously not conducive to the overall situation, why don't you stop it?"

Ma Ling led the forbidden army training in the field during the day, so he didn't know anything about this matter, but after entering the city, he saw that the soldiers and horses in the city were frequently mobilized, and he only knew about it after asking the first lieutenant, so he hurried to the prime minister's mansion to find Qiao Daoqing to discuss.

"Huh, you don't see it?"

Qiao Daoqing smiled, but he just looked casual, as if he didn't care about these things.

"Although Zhong Xiang has made us a high position, he doesn't listen to our opinions, but trusts Zhang Xin's second general very much, and he is obviously secretly wary of you and me."

"Brother Qiao mean, this is not a place to live either?"

Ma Ling really didn't want to run around, since leaving Tian Hu, the two of them first followed Wang Qing and then Zhong Xiang, and now, he just wants to find a place to stand here, as long as he can be stable.

He also knew that this Zhang Xinger General had come from the surrender of the Song army in Henan for less than half a year, and because he was good at slapping horses, he had obtained a very high status and almost mastered half of the military power.

And this Zhong Xiang is not worried at all that these two people are undercover agents of the Song Dynasty, the more Ma Ling thinks about it, the more he feels that this person's brain circuit is simply not in the same world as ordinary people!

At this time, Qiao Daoqing's tone suddenly became serious and said: "No, I mean, I don't have to fight for power anymore, just do what I do for Zhong Xiang."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, and said: "If there is another accident here, there is no way back, so I can only leave the Central Plains and go to find His Royal Highness the Regent!"

When Ma Ling heard this, his heart tightened suddenly, as if he had been struck by lightning in an instant.

He definitely didn't want to do this until he had to!
