It's a disaster!

When the news of the defeat of Guizhou City reached Tokyo City from the far south, the people and officials of the Song Kingdom thought so.

Guizhou City is not a border fortress, nor is it a big city like Tokyo, which is also the reason why Tong Guan and others did not take the low city wall in their eyes.

But it was such a city, Li Nan only used more than 40,000 people to stalemate with the 200,000 Song army for several days, and finally completely defeated the Song army.

"Smack!" Song Huizong Zhao Ji angrily slapped the battle report in his hand on the imperial case, and yelled at Tong Guan, who was kneeling in the center of the hall: "Bastard! What's going on? You explain it to me! ”

"Weichen deserves death!" Tong Guan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, then fell to the ground and choked up and said: "Weichen was ordered to go south to clear out the Fangla rebels, and he was originally like a bamboo, killing millions of Ming Sect thieves and having no way to escape. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shuye had already secretly colluded with the thief leader Li Nan and leaked the secrets of the army, which led to the defeat of Guizhou City! ”

"How dare he be?" Zhao Ji still has some understanding of Zhang Shuye, who was born as a jinshi in this dynasty, so he has some doubts.

Tong Guan saw that Huizong seemed to be a little suspicious, and hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare to deceive the saint, Zhang Shuye is outside the hall, and he has already confessed." ”

"Bring it in."

After a while, I saw Zhang Shuye, who had been stripped of his official robe and was wearing only a white middle coat, escorted in by the guards of the palace class.

Facing Huizong Zhao Ji's questioning, Zhang Shuye secretly glanced at Tong Guan and calmly admitted the matter.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji has never felt so disappointed, now that the war between Liao and Jin has come to an end, Jin has urged the Great Song Dynasty to send troops several times.

In the original plan, the 150,000 elite of the Western Army led by Tong Guan was the main force to go north to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun, but he didn't expect to encounter the rebellion of Fang La, so he turned south to quell the rebellion.

Although Fangla was now destroyed, 150,000 horses were lost in Guizhou, and Yizhou, Zizhou, Lizhou, Kuizhou, and Guangnan East Road in Shu were all occupied by the Zhennan army.

Huizong Zhao Ji looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and said slowly: "The five capital states in the south have been seized by the treason in the south, I am afraid that the anti-king Li Nan will continue to invade the south, and the northern Jin country is also urging me to fulfill the covenant of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Shaozai Wang Huang came out of the class and said: "If you don't take the opportunity to attack the Liao State now and take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that can be used as a barrier, then after the Jin State swallows the entire Liao Kingdom, it will not only become stronger, but will even send troops to my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Huizong Zhao Ji asked, "Do you mean to gather an army and go north to attack Liao first?" ”

"Exactly, although the anti-king Li Nan is now very powerful, just like the two gangs of thieves in Liangshan and Fang La, it is just a disease of ringworm and scabies. The minister thought that he should first send troops to retrieve the sixteen states of Yanyun, and then go to the south to quell the rebellion. ”

"Hmm." Huizong Zhao Ji pondered for a moment and then said: "What Wang Aiqing said is reasonable, but now that Li Nan is in full swing, he will inevitably attack the Jiangnan area, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Wang Hao replied: "This matter is not difficult, Your Majesty only needs to send a person who can speak well to the south, first use some benefits to appease the anti-king Li Nan, and wait for the army to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and then it is not too late to destroy him!" ”

"Well, that's a great idea." Zhao'an promised an official position, and the Great Song Dynasty did a lot, so Huizong listened to Wang Hao's words and immediately nodded again and again.

"Wang Aiqing, then who do you think should be sent to deal with the anti-king?"

"I think it's ......"

"Since this plan was made by Wang Shaozai, it is naturally best for Lord Wang Hao to go in person." Without waiting for Wang Hao to say the candidate, Shangshu Zuocheng Li Bangyan hurriedly went out to play.

Li Bangyan was originally a scholar and a right man, but he was dismissed because of his discord with Wang Huang, and this time he finally encountered this good opportunity, how willing he would be if he didn't stab him.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Cai You, a scholar of Xuanhe Temple who secretly colluded with Li Bangyan, saw this opportunity and hurriedly came out to help.

Seeing that the two confidant ministers recommended Wang Huang, Huizong Zhao Ji immediately announced: "Okay, then Wang Aiqing will handle this matter." ”

Emperor Chrysostom said that since he had spoken, although Wang Hao was extremely reluctant to do this extremely dangerous errand, there was no way to do it, so he had to take it head-on.

The transportation in the Song Dynasty was inconvenient, but fortunately there was the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that ran through the north and south, which saved a lot of time for the people who came and went, but when the Qincha Wang Huang came to Jinghu South Road with the servants, it was a few months since the battle of Guizhou City.

A lot of things have happened in these months, such as the Jin State in the north chasing the Tianzuo Emperor of the Liao State fleeing in all directions.

Tong Guan, who lost 150,000 elite members of the Western Army, took out a large amount of silver to wander among Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and Cai You, not only was he not convicted, but he also regained the trust of Song Huizong, and became the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei and Hedong, that is, the commander of the Northern Expedition, and Cai You was the deputy envoy.

At present, the Great Song Dynasty did not pay too much attention to Li Nan in the south, but focused all his attention on the major matter of retrieving the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

The Great Song Dynasty was very busy, but Zhennan, which had doubled its territory, was even busier.

The first thing to deal with is the 200,000 Mingjiao members and Fang La's group who surrendered in Qutang Gorge in Shudi, and those people who joined Mingjiao only to have enough to eat are the best thing to do, as long as they are included in the civil register, and the houses and fields are divided, they will settle down.

And Fang La, his relatives, as well as those henchmen, as well as a large number of very brainwashed and thoroughly cultists, Leonidas and Sienna, who occupied Shudi, did not dare to call the shots, and sent them all to Guizhou City, where Li Nan temporarily lived.

Li Nan and Fang La met again and found that the leader of the Ming Sect, the Holy Father, who once had millions of sect members, seemed to be dozens of years old in a short period of time.

Seeing Fang La's current appearance, Li Nan said lightly: "Sect Master Fang, please sit down." ”

Originally, Fang La had just had to surrender, but when he learned that Li Nan had annihilated all the 150,000 Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty that he had defeated, he was really shocked in his heart.

During the detention of Shudi, Fang La and several of his henchmen were not honest, and secretly contacted the Ming Sect members several times to make trouble, but each time they were detected in advance by Leonidas and others.

Leonidas, the king from Sparta, is also a ruthless character, although he didn't dare to kill Fang La and the others without Li Nan's order, but punishment was inevitable.

In fact, Fang La didn't know that Leonida had Emma by her side who could probe everyone's inner secrets, and his small actions were in vain even if they were secretive.

Fang La, who was wounded, laboriously came to the chair and sat down, he looked at Li Nan in front of him, and said: "When you surrendered that day, you promised not to harm our lives, is this true? ”

"Of course it's true." Li Nan smiled and said: "Few people like to kill, as long as you can live in peace, why should I kill you?" ”

"You don't have anything else?" Fang La treated others with his own heart and expressed doubts about Li Nan's words.

Li Nan shook his head and said, "No." But you can't live in the Song Realm, I plan to have someone send you to Zhancheng Province, and I will give you houses and fields at that time, as long as you don't do things again, there is absolutely no need to worry about your life. ”
