Chapter 145: The Siege of the Trapped Beasts
Under the city of Mingzhou, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Fang Qifo led his troops to fight with Uncle Zhang for three days, and the two sides fought fiercely day and night, bent on fighting for Huating Port, which was known as the treasury.
Inside the big tent, Fang Qifo's face was gloomy, and the battle situation under the city of Hangzhou came, and everything here was meaningless.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, how can they be defeated so quickly, Fang Qifo slapped the table, his eyebrows moved faintly, and he said in a deep voice: "It is not good for the Holy Father to go out under the city, and it is useless for us to defeat Mingzhou, it is better to find a way to encircle and annihilate the Song army under the city of Hangzhou." ”
Li Tianyan, who fled here from Hangzhou City, was wounded on his hand, tied a strap, and said loudly: "Still annihilated? King Ming couldn't defeat nearly 200,000 people, and now there are less than 50,000 left, plus your 70,000, you can beat it. Now we have to open an opening, take King Ming out, and leave Qingshan without worrying about no firewood. ”
Fang Qi Buddha laughed angrily: "Take it out, and then what?" ”
"Flee to the mountains, avoid the limelight, and seek revenge with the surname Yang in the future!"
This guy treats rebellion as an ordinary nuisance? Also avoid the limelight, and take revenge in a few days... King Ming was too hasty this time, he didn't make any preparations at all, and everything went smoothly in the early stage of boiling public resentment, and it was only at this time that he saw the disadvantages of rushing to act.
The generals under him had no consciousness of rebellion at all, and thought that it was before, and when they hid in the mountains for a few days, the big things turned into small things, and the small things became small.
Now that Fang La has been proclaimed emperor, this is absolutely intolerable to the Great Song Dynasty, and it is bound to be strangled with the strength of the whole country.
In addition, the capture of Fang La now is a great credit, how can it be left without anyone to receive it.
Opposite them, in the city of Mingzhou, Zhang Shuye and Xu Jin sat opposite each other and drank tea, the two of them were very relaxed, and the Hangzhou battle report came that it was almost impossible for there to be any more anti-thieves attacking the city, as long as they waited for them to go to Hangzhou City to die.
Xu Jin had even taken off his armor, dressed in a green cloth shirt, with a purple hair, took a sip of tea and said: "Fang La's defeat, his disciples and grandchildren scattered and fled, I think after this fight, I will have to work for at least three months." We Xujiazhuang, we have the responsibility to defend the land, we can't leave Mizhou for a long time, and we will inform Shaozai in a few days and withdraw to Mizhou. ”
Uncle Zhang wore an official mansion at night, he was the governor of Haizhou, and this time because of his meritorious work in suppressing bandits, he was sent by Yang Lin to Mingzhou to defend the city.
Uncle Zhang was in the camp that night, saw everything in his eyes, smiled inadvertently, and said: "Master Xu Zhuang is a person close to Shaozai, and when this great success is completed, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave." ”
Yang Lin installed cronies, cultivated party henchmen, and threw benefits to his own people, which was on the surface, and there was no cover at all, this Xujiazhuang was his henchman, and this time I am afraid it was transferred to share the credit.
Xu Jin is a down-to-earth man, and he hasn't seen these things clearly, so Uncle Zhang doesn't mind a few words about him at night.
After all, he is not very disgusted with this Shaozai, whose shortcomings are all in the clear, this person came to Jiangnan, which is a great thing for Jiangnan.
When someone else came, it was impossible to put down the rebellion so quickly, and if nothing else, the people's grievances alone could not be quelled. In the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang Shuye didn't think that anyone could kill Zhu Mian as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan, the Great Song Dynasty had been founded for so long, and the officialdom had already had its own set of rules.
Yang Lin has this hole card, that is, the emperor's favor, he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he has the qualifications to act recklessly. At least when Zhao Ji was in power, no one could easily bring him down, unless he died himself.
In the Great Song Dynasty, an official who can flatter is not terrible, and a close minister who is still so flattering from a champion background is powerful enough for him to act recklessly.
Xu Jin smiled, got up and said: "Zhang Zhizhou doesn't know our Xujiazhuang, when the Khitan invaded the border, my grandfather led the villagers to Mizhou, and the Liao people could not advance an inch. The ancestors' family motto is here, and fame and fortune are like passing clouds for me, not worth mentioning. Now Fang La is already surviving, and it is the time for us to retire, so that the world can know what Xujiazhuang, Mizhou, Shandong is. ”
Uncle Zhang smiled and didn't say a word, you don't believe a word, you are indifferent to fame and fortune? You are indifferent to fame and fortune, and you can get involved with Yang Lin. Anyone in the world who is involved with Shaozai Yang Lin says that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and the official does not believe it, and it is useless to say anything.
Before the words fell, a Zhuang guest outside came in, hugged his fists and said: "Zhizhou, the owner of the village, the anti-thieves under the city withdrew their troops, and she chased people to Hangzhou with her family." ”
Xu Jin had just finished blowing, and he was slapped in the face by his daughter, and he suddenly felt that his face was dull and embarrassed.
Uncle Zhang got up at night and said, "When did the thief leave?" ”
"They hung the sheep in the camp and beat the drum with their hind hooves, and they must have walked for a while."
Uncle Zhang slapped the table at night and said, "The thief's army has lost his heart, chase it!" ”
Xu Jin grabbed Zhuang Ke and asked, "How many people did the moon slave bring?" ”
"Seven or eight."
Xu Jin's old face flushed, how can this be chasing the anti-thief, this is obviously going to find Yang Lin, I'm afraid I have to go around the anti-thief.
After all, it is his own daughter, no matter how embarrassing it is, Xu Jin is also worried about her safety, and now there are scattered thieves everywhere, Xu Jin immediately ordered to follow Zhang Shuye's men out of the city.
There is really chaos outside Hangzhou now, there are thieves and fleeing people everywhere, Fang Qifo led the crowd to flee Hangzhou, ready to take Fang La out of the city.
He is an emotional person, Fang La once saved his life, and this kindness cannot be repaid.
Fang Qifo, who was riding on a horse, was not very fast, and he wanted to collect the scattered thieves from the road
The refugees on the side of the road were all hiding aside, waiting for this group of people to pass before they dared to continue to flee, Fang Qifo looked at these displaced people, among whom there were many orphans, and felt a little guilty for a while.
He was born in a beggar and died of starvation in a dilapidated temple, and he can best understand the feelings of these orphans.
Suddenly, a small child caught his eye, and the child mixed in with the crowd, nervously watching the people and horses, no different from ordinary orphans.
But this orphan has a somewhat terrifying face and ugly scars, which are hard to forget at a glance.
This is clearly the little Engong who saved him at the beginning, Fang Qifo rode over, but Yang Tianning had long forgotten the beggar at the beginning.
Seeing Fang Qifo coming, Yang Tianning's heart jumped to his throat, and his face was also scared.
"Little Engong? How did it fall to this, is there also a war in Yangzhou? ”
Yang Tianning had an idea, pretended to be dumb, and just waved his hand with a few words.
Looking at his appearance, it will not make people suspicious, because of the persecution when he was a child, he looked like a refugee when he wore brocade clothes.
Fang Qifo pondered for a moment, lifted him up, put him on his horse, took out a piece of dry food from his bag, and said, "The soldiers are in chaos, how can Xiao Engong survive alone, it is better to follow me to save King Ming." As long as I live for one day, I will protect my little kindness for one day. ”
It's not that he doesn't know that Fang La's murder is unlucky, but an orphan is still too dangerous in this chaotic place where there is no law and order.
Yang Tianning sat on the horse, his eyes rolled, and the fear in his heart went to three points.
This person is obviously the leader of the anti-thieves, and it is not easy to get to the thieves' den when he asks for information on the road.
----
Hangzhou City, in the back garden of Fangla Palace.
Fang La's palace is built on the original palace, rippling in the blue wave lake, the red pillars and green tiles of the pavilion in the center of the lake, and the four corners of the cornices, like a swallow that spreads its wings.
The tall and majestic main hall, there are the front hall, the wall, the corridor, the middle hall, the garden garden, the back hall, the back garden, the attached garden, the houses are in order, the Quyuan is back to the pavilion, it is very luxurious.
All this did not give Fang La any sense of belonging, this place soon did not belong to him, everyone knew this.
Fang La's heart was anxious, after being surrounded for so long, his subordinates all came to die in batches, but the strongest Fang Qi Buddha was nowhere to be found.
Shi Bao chattered on the side: "That white-eyed wolf has been in the religion for such a short time, it is really not a good thing, King Ming has been surrounded for so long, but he has not seen his army of 70,000." ”
Everyone present knew that he was talking about Fang Qi Buddha, and when people were helpless and desperate, they always liked to find a scapegoat to come out, and they all spoke abuse.
Fang La's hand grasped the railing, and the wood he grabbed was slightly concave, with a few finger marks.
"Shut up! The Seven Buddhas are not ungrateful, the officers and soldiers have not yet fought, you yourself will mess up something first. ”
Fang La's prestige was still there, and these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under him shut up together, and sighs rang out in the Lake Center Pavilion.
Suddenly, a pawn rushed over, and when he got closer, he hugged his fist and said, "Holy Father, there is a shout of killing outside, it is General Fang Qifo who has killed him." ”
