In the sixteenth year of Liyang, the fourth day of the third month

Yan Kui sent Anbei general Fang Rui and Huaiyuan general Chen Xingxiao to divide their troops into two routes and send them to attack Gushan and Shuxian.

When the Jin army sent troops, under Yan Kui's intentional exposure, he did not hide his whereabouts, so Li Ji, who was in Shou County, immediately received information that Yan Kui sent troops.

This self-proclaimed Governor of Hongyang, Li Dudu, was suddenly anxious to burn all the insides, and hurriedly summoned his strategist Fang Lianhai to discuss countermeasures.

Fang Lianhai is the number one strategist under Li Ji's account, this person was born in the family of an official eunuch, about 50 years old, and is quite famous in Hongyang, so he was hired by Li Ji as a doorman.

At this time, after Fang Lianhai listened to the Jin army's actions, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately deduced Yan Kui's purpose.

"Yan Kui ordered Fang and Chen to attack the two counties of Gushan, in the name of regaining the lost territory and cutting off the arms on the left and right sides of our army, but in fact, they wanted to seal the county, not only cut off the back road of our army, but also cut off the contact between us and the Western Zhou Dynasty, so that the ancient city of Shou County was left to him to play.

Du Du, Yan Kui is an old man with soldiers, the next step of chess, first look at the next ten moves of chess, recruit murder blood, only a few days to Shou County, actually forced us into a desperate situation, it is really terrifying. ”

When Li Ji heard this, his brain became cold, and he shook his mind before asking Fang Lianhai for a plan.

"In Mr. Fang's opinion, how should I deal with myself now?"

Fang Lianhai lowered his head and pondered for a while, and shook his head a little bitterly: "The Jin army is strong, we will inevitably be invincible, if we go out of the city to rescue the two counties of Gushan, I am afraid that Yan Kui will fall into the arms of Yan Kui, but if we don't save it, we will sit back and watch the three counties fall into the hands of the enemy, Shou County will become a lonely city, and then we will also be dead."

For today's plan, there is only one way to save ourselves, that is, while the county is still in our hands, we should quickly ask Zhou Jun to enter the rescue as soon as possible, otherwise it will ........."

Otherwise, Fang Lianhai hesitated and didn't say anything further, but Li Ji himself understood.

Otherwise, hurry up and pack your luggage, take your family with you, throw down Shou County, and flee from Feng County to Zhou State.

…………

bang

Li Ji slapped the table fiercely, his eyes were red, he looked at Fang Lianhai viciously, and said word by word.

"The Pontus will not be afraid to abscond in battle!"

Fang Lianhai was taken aback by Li Ji, his face showed melancholy, and he hurriedly got up to make amends: "Don't blame your subordinates for their gaffes." ”

Li Ji glanced at Fang Lianhai, but he didn't bother to clean up the number one strategist, nodded with a stiff face, stretched out his hand to let Fang Lianhai sit down, and calmed down for a while before he spoke gently.

"Sir is loyal to his duties, I already know it in my heart, but now that the battle situation is unknown, the righteous army still has the strength to fight, how can it be cowardly and not fight, and flee before fighting."

Fang Lianhai's eyes moved slightly, and he asked tentatively, "What does Du Du mean?" ”

Li Jichang stroked his beautiful hair, and his eyes flashed with cold light: "I intend to send Wang Dali and Liu Tong to lead 10,000 troops out of the city and rush to the aid of Gushan County." ”

"This ......"

Fang Lianhai wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to persuade him, but finally lowered his head under Li Ji's compelling gaze.

"The governor did this...... Wonderful, the two generals, Wang and Liu, will definitely be able to keep the two counties safe. ”

"Mr. Meng's auspicious words."

Li Ji smiled on his face, turned his head to look out the door, and shouted, "Someone." ”

"Yes."

"Pass on the order of the governor of Bendu, summon Wang Dali and Liu Tong, two generals, to come over."

After a while, Wang and Liu Er will come as ordered, Li Ji talked about the help, and Er Yi thought that he was reused by Li Ji and entrusted such a major event to himself, and his face showed excitement.

immediately nodded and responded to the errand, and expressed loyalty to Li Jida, saying that the two of them should do their best to ensure that the two counties are not lost.

Fang Lianhai, who was next to him, saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he lowered his head to hide the mockery in his eyes.

Two reckless men who don't know whether to live or die.........

……………

Half an hour later

Fang Lianhai came out of the Governor's Mansion, took a carriage back to his mansion, and as soon as he entered the house, Fang Lianhai immediately asked people to call his two sons, and the father and son waved off the subordinates and hid in the study to plot.

"Dad, the situation is very bad right now?"

Seeing Fang Lianhai's gloomy expression, his eldest son Fang De asked.

Fang Lianhai ignored his son's inquiry, but sat behind the desk with his eyes closed and lowered his head in contemplation, and after a long time, when he saw that Fang De and his younger brother Fang Hua were becoming more and more unable to sit still, he opened his mouth and said the first sentence of entering the room.

"Da Lang, quietly pack up your baggage, talk to your mother, and get ready to escape."

"Dad, the situation is so erosive, doesn't it mean that although the governor has suffered a small defeat, he has not lost his vitality?" Fang De was frightened by his father's words, and shouted out a little out of shape.

Fang Lianhai rubbed his brows tightly, and said a little irritably: "What do you know, it was all deliberately released by the Governor's Mansion to appease people's hearts, Shou County is in danger now, we have to make plans in advance, we can't hang ourselves on a tree with Li Ji." ”

After that, Fang Lianhai sighed, and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "It's all because I was confused by Li Ji's appearance back then, and I went astray and became a doorman for him.

As a result, I never expected that the situation would change dramatically, Hongyang changed the country, and I was forced to follow Li Ji to do the business of killing officials and rebelling, which is really a trick. ”

Sighing and looking at his two sons with complicated expressions, Fang Lianhai continued: "Now that the Northern Jin Dynasty has put down the rebellion on a large scale, Yan Kui, who is leading the army, is not an ordinary person.

This kind of good general, non-Li Ji can match it, relying on these rabble in Shou County, he will not be able to jump for long.

I wanted to persuade him to know the current affairs early and flee to the Western Zhou Dynasty to live his life, but he did not listen to the dissuasion, insisted on going his own way, and sent Wang Dali and Liu Tong to rescue Gushan County.

One of these two is the former Li family nursing home, and the other is the Lu Lin bandits, both of whom are incompetent and talentless, how can they defeat the wolf-like Jin army under Yan Kui, as I expected, it won't be long before the report of the defeat of the two will be sent back. ”

The Fang brothers were stunned by their father's string of words, and calmed down for a while before the second Fang Hua asked cautiously.

"Dad, now that the matter is now, there is really no way to redeem it, doesn't it mean that Li Ji and the Western Zhou Dynasty have a connection, and if necessary, the Zhou army can be brought to help."

"Zhou Jun?"

Fang Lianhai sneered, his voice full of mockery: "Others don't know, I don't know the relationship between Li Ji and Xi Zhou, yes, when the incident started, Xi Zhou promised a lot of promises, which is why I helped Li Cheng in the first place."

But now I know that the Western Zhou Dynasty is completely coaxing Li Ji to be a fool to play, and from Yan Kui's troops to take down the Cheng family brothers, Li Ji sent countless people to the Western Zhou Dynasty for help, and all the mud cattle entered the sea.

From that moment on, I knew that we had all been played by the Western Zhou Dynasty's mother and son and the Gonggong Zhugong, and the Western Zhou would never risk provoking the Northern Jin Dynasty to send troops to rescue Shou County, otherwise I would not have tried to persuade Li Ji to evacuate. ”

…………

At this moment, the Fang family brothers completely understood the seriousness of the matter, Fang De looked at the sluggish younger brother, turned his head to look at his father, and said with difficulty.

"Dad, if our family flees, we should ......... Where should I go? ”

Fang Lianhai looked tired, and said after deliberation: "I thought that if I saw that things would not work, our family would run away quietly, but the city is full of Li Ji's people, and the outside is the Jin army, with your father's identity, I am afraid that even if you escape outside the city, you will be captured by the Jin army."

So I thought about it, and I still planned to wait for the news of Wang Dali's defeat to come back, and then persuade Li Ji to retreat to the Western Zhou.

The Western Zhou court pit Li Ji once this time, if Li Ji escaped to the Western Zhou Dynasty, they will also settle Li Ji well out of face, and then we will follow Li Ji together, even if the future is worrying, but at least we can live a family.

It's just that I'm afraid that Li Ji will not come to his senses and fight with the Jin army wholeheartedly, if so, things will be tricky. ”

After hearing what their father said, the Fang brothers were covered with worry on their faces, but they couldn't think of any solution for a while, so the father and son sat silently in the study, relatively silent for most of the night.

It wasn't until the next day that the next day came to report that the second general Wang Dali led the troops out of the city, that Fang Lianhai raised his spirits, took his second son back to normal, and quietly packed the soft luggage of the Fang family while waiting for the battle report.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, shortly after Wang and Liu Er sent their troops. The rebels in Shou County received battle reports from the second general one after another.

Sure enough, as Fang Lianhai expected, these two people are incompetent and mediocre.

Wang Dali led 5,000 troops to aid Gushan County, but before he reached the destination, he was ambushed by Yan Kui on the road, Wang Dali was killed on the spot, and his soldiers and horses were completely annihilated by the Jin army.

At this time, it was less than two days before Wang Dali sent troops, and he simply deliberately gave Yan Kui his head.........

And the other Liu Tong, who is indeed slightly stronger than Wang Dali, at least led his troops to the boundary of Shuxian County.

However, what people didn't expect was that he led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Jin army's formation for two days, but he was unable to break through the Jin army's blockade of the county seat and form an effective support for Shu County.

Seeing that the reinforcements were blocked from the Jin army and could not march at all, the rebels in Shuxian County gradually gave up on the reinforcements. On the tenth day of the first month of March, under the leadership of the defenders, the rebels of Shuxian County surrendered to the Jin army in Kaicheng.

Chen Xingxiao, who led the Jin army to attack Shuxian, saw that Shuxian County was taken, and he did not forget Liu Tong under the joy of his heart, and immediately arranged for soldiers and horses to take over the defense of Shuxian County, while leading troops to launch a counterattack against Liu Tong's department.

Liu Tong was unprepared for the sudden surrender of the Jin army in Shuxian, and was caught off guard by Chen Xingxiao, suffering heavy losses, so he could only lead some of his remnants to retreat to Shou County, and then was blocked by the reinforcements sent by Yan Kui.

Faced with the encirclement of tens of thousands of Jin troops before and after, Liu Tongzhi took the initiative to surrender to the Jin army, and the 10,000 reinforcements sent by Li Ji completely collapsed.

Shortly after Liu Tong was taken, on March 13, after several days of strong attacks, Fang Rui also broke through Gushan County.

Yan Kui struck while the iron was hot, let Fang Rui and Chen Xingxiao merge together, directly copied Li Ji's back road, and killed Benfeng County, preparing to completely cut off the last chance of the rebels.

It was also at this moment that Fang Lianhai came to the Governor's Mansion again after many days and asked to meet Li Ji.

Li Ji didn't see him, but asked people to bring four words to Fang Lianhai - Wangjun cherished.

Fang Lianhai listened, his face was full of loss, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to the governor's mansion, and staggered away.

After Fang Lianhai left, Li Ji's figure was revealed at the door of the Governor's Mansion, compared with the last time Fang Lianhai met him, Li Ji was obviously much haggard, he looked at Fang Lianhai's departing back, his expression changed, he stretched out his hand to summon a personal guard, and explained a few times in his ear.

That night, Li Ji's number one strategist Fang Lianhai's Fang Mansion suddenly caught fire, and Fang Lianhai's family disappeared............
