Hearing Liu Fa say this, Zheng Fei thought about Ling Zhen, the Water Margin said that Ling Zhen "is good at making artillery, can go to the distance of fourteen or fifteen miles, where the stone cannon falls, the sky collapses, and the mountains fall and the stones crack", in fact, this is very exaggerated, but removing the water in it, combined with these powerful firearms made by him specifically for Liu Fa, can prove that this person's attainments in firearms should still be very high.

According to the original course of history, Ling Zhen should have already gone to Liangshan at this time. It is said that after Hu Yanzhuo led his troops to attack Liangshanbo and failed, Hu Yanzhuo asked Gao Yu for help, so he invited Ling Zhen, Ling Zhen arrived and commanded the artillery to bombard Liangshan, the power was amazing, and then he was captured by Liangshanbo Design, and then persuaded by Peng Qi to join Liangshanbo.

But because Zheng Fei has completely disrupted the development of history, Hu Yanzhuo's battle against Liang Shanbo was not only several years in advance, he was not the commander, but he was surrendered in the first battle, Ling Zhen also lost the opportunity to get in touch with Liang Shanbo, and now Zheng Fei has decided to vigorously develop the firearms of the Heavenly Dao Army, since this person is so good, no matter what, he can't miss this person again!

But how do you get this person? It is definitely not possible to find someone to persuade him to come, and besides, this person is also under the supervision of the imperial court, and through normal channels, I am afraid that he will not even be able to get out of Tokyo City.

Zheng Fei told Liu Fa his thoughts, Liu Fa also agreed, and then he recommended one of his subordinates to Zheng Fei, saying that the person's surname was Pang Mingsheng, and it was his relationship to go to Tokyo instead of him, and he was very familiar with places such as Tokyo Firearms Workshop and Gunpowder Bureau.

Zheng Fei immediately summoned Pang Sheng and asked him if he dared to go to Tokyo to "invite" Ling Zhen for the Heavenly Dao Army?

Pang Sheng had been completely attracted by Zheng Fei's speech half a day ago, and had already made up his mind to make a big fight in the Heavenly Dao Army, and this time the commander-in-chief personally summoned and issued a task was a golden opportunity for him. Pang Sheng immediately patted his chest and said, "Wrapped around the last general, if Ling Zhen doesn't come, the last will apologize for his sin with death!" ”

Zheng Fei Dayue, promised Pang Sheng that if he did this, he would be rewarded! Zheng Fei then ordered Pang Wanchun to select more than a dozen good players in the independent division, which made them and Pang Sheng turn into ordinary people and rushed to Tokyo overnight.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Fa made a request to Zheng Fei to leave the Heavenly Dao Army temporarily, he wanted to rush back to the northwest overnight, and bring back everyone's family members before the news that he had surrendered to the Heavenly Dao Army reached Tokyo, and brought back everyone's family members before Tokyo ordered to punish himself and his generals, so as not to become ghosts under the sword of the imperial court.

This was one of Liu Fa's surrender conditions, Zheng Fei immediately agreed to Liu Fa's request, and that night, Liu Fa set off with several subordinates overnight and headed for the northwest, of course, Liu Zhengyan did not leave together.

After sleeping in Bozhou, after two major battles in Gaotang and Qizhou, he had not rested for two days and one night, he was really tired to the extreme, he looked at his side again, and saw that Hu Sanniang, who had always been by his side, had fallen asleep on the table at some point, and his beautiful face was full of tiredness, Zheng Fei couldn't help but flash a trace of guilt in his heart, got up and walked over to endure the pain of the wound on his shoulder, picked her up, and walked into the bedroom.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Early in the morning, the military information from Yanzhou, Puzhou, Jeju, and Xuzhou was placed on Zheng Fei's table.

Yanzhou is the main direction of the Song army on the Jingdong East Road, the Jingdong East Road sent a total of 30,000 generals and 30,000 Xiang troops to attack Yanzhou, the third army commander of the Tiandao Army Chao Gai led 20,000 soldiers to meet the battle, although the number of the third army is still at a disadvantage compared to the Song army, but unlike Yanggu, Qizhou and other places, the advantage of the third army is that there is no need to divide more troops, you can concentrate your forces to fight with the Song army, since the day the battle started, to this day, the battle has been carried out to the fifth day, the third army soldiers fought bloodily, every inch of land must be fought, With the help of the people of Yanzhou, more than 10,000 enemies were killed, not only blocking the Song army outside Yanzhou, but also effectively supporting Li Tianyan's Xuzhou army. Yanzhou can be said to be impregnable.

Zheng Fei was overjoyed when he saw the military situation, and said to the generals three times in a row, "Chao Gai and the Third Army are really good!" ”

In this way, to this day, although the Song army on the East Hebei Road still has 30,000 people, it no longer dares to attack again, if he still dares to come, without the second army to go into battle, it is the 30,000 Western Army that is eager to eat them alive.

The Song army on Jingdong Road was no longer a threat.

It can be said that the southern and eastern battlefields of the Heavenly Dao Army have basically been lifted.

But the situation in Puzhou, Jeju and Xuzhou is not so optimistic, although the 50,000 Song troops from the Daimyo Mansion have been defeated by 30,000 people on the battlefields of Yunzhou and Bozhou, but there are still 20,000 Song troops attacking Puzhou, Lin Chong led the Puzhou army and successfully stopped the 20,000 people, who expected that on the third day of the war, suddenly there were 20,000 Song troops from Yingtianfu to join the battle, and the situation in Puzhou took a sharp turn for the worse.

And the situation in Jeju and Xuzhou was not much better, they were facing the main force of the Eastern Expeditionary Army led by Gao Yu, the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, 80,000 people, and Deng Yuanjue's Second Army was completely caught in a bitter battle.

Therefore, it is imperative that the army go to reinforce the second army as soon as possible!

Now Zheng Fei has three parts of the army that can be mobilized, one is the independent division, the second is the two armies of Wang Jin and Hu Yanzhuo, and the third is the 30,000 Western Army that has just been recruited, although the total strength adds up to more than 80,000 people, but the question in front of Zheng Fei is whether the 30,000 Western Army that has just surrendered is trustworthy? Although they have surrendered, this is their helpless time under the pressure of the situation, and before they are completely assimilated into the Heavenly Dao Army, it is impossible to rule out the possibility that they will not turn against the water.

After thinking about it, Zheng Fei decided to take a gamble, he wanted to take all 30,000 people to the southern battlefield, so that they could "accept the name" by attacking the Song army, and only by keeping them under his control could he rest assured.

In the end, Zheng Fei left two brigades of the Fifth Army to Qizhou, plus a total of 10,000 Qizhou troops to ensure the safety of the northern front. A brigade was sent to Yanzhou to enhance security on the Eastern Front. A brigade was sent to Yanggu and Bozhou to strengthen the security of the western front. He personally led 40,000 Heavenly Dao troops and 30,000 Western troops to the southern battlefield.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When Zheng Fei personally led the army to aid the front line of Jeju, Gao Yu had also received the news of the surrender of the Western Army to Liangshanbo, plus the first, second, and third generals of the Daimyo Mansion who had been obtained in the past few days, and the fourth and fifth generals of Hebei East Road were all wiped out, and the first, second, and third generals were defeated, and the Jingshi East Road had lost 10,000 people but could not take the military situation of Yanzhou for a long time, Gao Yu suddenly had an irrepressible anger in his heart, and he kicked the table in front of him fiercely, while scolding loudly, "Waste, this group of waste!" The left and right hurriedly retreated, so as not to become Gao Yu's punching bag,

Gao Yu returned to his seat, his face was full of confidence and pride that had long since disappeared from the time before the army had just set out a few days ago, and was replaced by deep worry and fear, and the main reason why he was so oblivious and angry was not because of the successive defeats of several armies, but because of the surrender of the Western Army.

He really regrets that he would have taken on this errand in the first place, if he had known that Liu Fa and 50,000 Western troops would have participated in the war, he would have found a way not to be the propaganda envoy of the Eastern Expeditionary Army no matter what, even if he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot and broke his arm in his own mansion, he would not hesitate to ask to step down from this post if he had fallen and injured himself!

Hey? Everyone in the world knows that the Western Army is the most powerful army in the Great Song Dynasty, and having such a strong army to help should be the dream of all commanders, why is Gao Yu so afraid to avoid it?

That's because, although the parties Liu Fa and the 50,000 Western Army didn't know, Gao Yu knew that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy related to the battle for the storage position!
