Chapter 609: Progress is Rapid
Huzhou has always been wealthy. Before the Fang La incident, the annual commercial tax here was stable above 50,000 yuan all year round. And you must know that even Suzhou is only 80,000 and insufficient, and Hangzhou is only more than 100,000.
The wealth of Huzhou can be seen from this.
In later generations, this is the country's well-known economic powerhouse. No matter how low the ranking is, it won't be able to pass fifty.
Therefore, in the past, spring opened in February every year, willows and flowers bloomed, and the weather was fine. The waterside of Tiaoxi is bound to be a fragrant car BMW, and the scholars and girls are noisy. And above the water, the boats are drummed, and the fish and birds are human. Farmers and merchants are prosperous, ten miles of red mansions, a nest of wind and moon.
But now, the changing king's banner on the head of the city has caused the old teachers outside the city to almost cry.
At the beginning of the shift, the moon is picturesque, the water and mountains are beautiful, and the night scene is good. The planter is dressed in civilian clothes, walking on the bank of Tiaoxi, there is no trace on the lake embankment, and the scenery is more and more beautiful. However, at this moment, Xiao Chong's heart is as straight as the cold winter wax moon, a pile of frost.
He had heard of Changxing's defeat. The news also spread to Huzhou City, and the guy who looked like a dog with no hair on his face, said that he would turn his face. Immediately, a wave of grain convoys to be transported out of the city was intercepted. The Naxi army taught Huzhou to Manichaeism, not for Manichaean gold and silver, but only for 100,000 stone of grain and rice.
But now, the Song army obviously has no spare strength to transport a large amount of grain and grass and leave.
Throughout this afternoon, Tiaoxi got to and fro on the boats, weaving like a shuttle. They all transported grain and grass to the west.
The seed division is still sitting outside Huzhou City, and with him here, the sky will not fall, and the Western Army outside the Tiaoxi River will be stable.
At noon the next day, Qin Ming, who heard the news that Xiao Chong had ceded Huzhou City to the Manichaean army, hurriedly led his troops south.
Looking at the square-shaped banners fluttering on the head of the city, I just wanted to vomit a mouthful of blood. "Fang Lapifu, it's too much to deceive people." However, no matter how angry he was, he did not dare to start a war with Manichaeism.
"Governor, Song Jun has just left for half an hour, so it's okay to chase after him at this time." There are people around to give words. Qin Ming didn't have the strength to fight with Xiao Chong anymore. He called the army to enter the old site of the camp after the Song army burned it, re-encamped the village, and sent people to Yangzhou to send a report quickly.
Fang Xiang looked at the Liangshan army who was standing on the north bank of Tiaoxi on the head of the city, and laughed happily. greeted his entourage and ordered: "And send a hundred jars of good wine, fresh fish and fat sheep, and reward the Northern Army." "It's especially annoying.
After that, more than half of the eight hussars had been damaged, and at this time there were still four people left: Liu Yun, Xu Fang, Guo Shiguang, and Gou Zheng. None of them are resourceful, they have a rough temperament, and they love to fight fiercely. Seeing the instructions of Fang Xiang, instead of dissuading them, they all laughed heartily. provoked Fang Xiang to become more and more proud.
And although Thunderbolt is a fiery temperament, this stall is also forcibly pressed. It did not cause the northern and southern armies to fire and merge. However, after this incident spread among the Liangshan army, it caused many people to have a bad attitude towards Manichaeism.
This is typical of getting cheap and selling well.
Since you have settled in Huzhou City, you are honest, why did you provoke the Liangshan army? This is all a provocation.
Gossip and threw it away, just see that Lu Qian was about to lead troops to the west in Yidu City. The vanguard of 5,000 iron cavalry has already rushed to Jinan Mansion, led by Xiao Li Guanghuarong. The front army of 30,000 people, led by Lu Junyi, has also marched westward. Lu Qian was about to integrate the rear army here, and when he was slowly advancing, he suddenly received an urgent report from Yang Zhi.
Seeing the Huzhou incident described in the letter, King Jiaolu was furious, and he knew that he should have made a gesture to Yang Zhi and Qin Ming. and tell them not to endure it when they can't bear it anymore.
It is not to take down the Manichaean army now, but to take this opportunity to show his attitude. Let Liang Shanjun's 'bottom line' towards Manichaeism become lower in the future.
This battle has been fought, and if you play tough in the future, it will be easy to speak.
Yes, seeing that the irascible thunderbolt actually endured it, it was a pity in my heart for a while. But I soon felt relieved.
This can also show that his 'weight' in Qin Ming's heart is different. Chengwang has been established, but it is different from Shuibo Liangshan.
The latter is the first brother in righteousness, and the black whirlwind only apologizes when he cuts the flag. And now Lu Qian is the king of Lu, this is not only the relationship between the eldest brother and the younger brother, but also the difference between the monarch and the minister.
Even Qin Ming could especially remember the relationship between the north and the south in his anger, so he suppressed his temper, and it was conceivable that the difference between the top and bottom of this monarch and the minister was the weight in his heart.
Because of the intervention of Manichaeism and the bad of the Western Army, Huzhou was caught off guard and went south to the Liangshan Army, which was very unpleasant. But the Guangde army and Xuanzhou could no longer fall into the hands of Manichaeism.
Just when Yang Zhifei reported to Lu Qian, the Liangshan army had already launched an attack on the Guangde army. The Western Army did not hold out for long in the Guangde Military City, and after a large amount of grain was sent to Wuhu, Xiao Chong cleanly gave up the Guangde Army. At the same time, the Western Army also ceded Shezhou, and the cookies that were stationed here had retreated to Qimen County. After losing Shezhou for many days, Lu Shisang returned to Shezhou.
After Qin Ming and Shan Tingqi captured the Guangde Army, they rushed to Xuanzhou non-stop. However, the Guangde army is good, and Xuanzhou is difficult to break.
This is the back of Taiping Prefecture, if Xuanzhou is lost, then Dangtu, Wuhu, and Fanchang may be divided and surrounded by the Liangshan army. With the Song army still losing control of the Yangtze River, it was a mortal threat.
At present, the old species annexed Dangtu, and the small species were stationed in Xuanzhou, and in the case that the new will of Jiangling was not issued, the large and small species could only be supported on Jiangnan East Road. On the one hand, under the pressure of the Liangshan army's land and water, Liu Yanqing had the best time to hold Jiangzhou.
But the latter just doesn't fight.
Before Lu Qian's army entered Nanyang, Chao Gai received good news.
His ministry had already taken Jiangzhou, because Zhang Shun asked Chaojianglong for Tong Meng, and then asked him to secretly persuade Mu Taigong. Mu Taigong recruited Mu Hong and Mu Chun brothers again, those two brothers were not filial piety Hei Saburo Song Gongming, and they didn't listen to their father's words very much, but this time they were very happy to obey the order. It's a step, it's a slope. Get off the donkey down the slope, and you have face here.
With the two brothers in charge of the military as internal responses, there is no reason for Jiangzhou City to be broken.
After persuading the Mu brothers, Chao Gai pretended that he couldn't attack for a long time, so he had no choice but to lead his troops to the south, leaving Zhu Tong and Han Tao to lead troops to guard Jiangzhou, and he led the land and water army to the south to attack and kill Hongzhou. The so-called Hongzhou is the Nanchang of later generations. The importance of this place goes without saying.
But Liu Yanqing and Cai Jiu in Jiangzhou City were not only not worried about this, but were overjoyed. Horizontal and vertical is less pressure on Jiangzhou.
Later, he sent spies to break through to the west and contact the western army in the east of Poyang Lake.
However, a few days later, when a team under the banner of the Western Army appeared outside the gate of the West City of Jiangzhou, the officers and soldiers defending the city were all shocked. How is this possible?
At the west city gate, Mu Hong was calm, and Mu Chun was already a little restless. Seeing that the sky is about to darken, why hasn't the Liang Shanjun arrived yet? "Is there trouble on the way?" Mu Chun asked himself, but he immediately denied the idea.
There is no water division of the Song army in Poyang Lake, and the warships of the Liangshan army are rampant, and they can encounter the trouble of birds.
This time, Chao Gai led 40,000 people to cross the river to the south, and the strength was strong, which was not something that Jiangzhou soldiers and horses could resist. Liu Yanqing and Cai Jiu immediately decided to stick to the city. The city of Jiangzhou is high and deep, and the walls are tight, and it is by no means easy to beat. At the same time, there was plenty of food and grass in the city, enough for the army to hold on.
Liu Yanqing is an old fighter, and he doesn't trust the local soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou, such as the Mu brothers, who are all dismantled and called. In particular, the town guards the city gates, and the western army is always the leader.
Now that the situation is a little easier, Mu Hong can find an opportunity to come to Mu Chun with wine and food to find Mu Chun and the Lord of Xicheng to drink. Relying on sweat medicine, it was easy to put the latter down. In this way, the defenders of the West City Gate are nominally dominated by Mu Chun.
Mu Chun couldn't help comforting himself in his heart. Since receiving the letter from outside the city yesterday, Mu Chun has felt cold all over, and his heart is up and down. When I meet and get along with my colleagues, I always feel that the eyes of others looking at me are full of inexplicable meaning.
This man's psychological quality is far worse than that of his brother.
"Commander Mu!" A commander galloped into the city gate tower and said to Mu Chun urgently: "There are soldiers and horses approaching outside the city. β
Mu Chun's heart suddenly stopped, and a palpitating feeling that could not be described in words rose from his heart. It was like being held tightly in the heart, and the feeling of suffocation made him forget to breathe at that moment.
But in fact, this is the mental journey that a traitor must go through.
"Whose banner is it for?" Mu Chun's mind was blank, but he reflexively took out this sentence in his mouth.
As soon as the word "number" blurted out, Mu Chun suddenly hit a spirit, and everything bad was restored to its original state, mind, body and mind. The tremendous pressure, the palpitations, as if it had never been there, suddenly disappeared without a trace. Mu Chun's mind was extremely relaxed, his mind was clear, and his state couldn't be better.
Just like the second boot upstairs after waiting for a long time, it finally landed.
"What's going on?" The difference between before and after is too big, and even Mu Chun himself is stunned, and he doesn't feel secretly strange in his heart.
However, when the big event came, Mu Chun didn't have time to think about it, and devoted himself to the upcoming big changes. This is a major event related to the life of the family, but it is much more important than that shock.
"It's dark, and I can't tell yet."
"I'll see." Mu Chun stood up, covered in armor, and took the lead out of the city gate. Mu Hong naturally followed. Only a few retinues were left in the city gate tower. And the "drunk" commander naturally continued to lie down.
When the Mu brothers arrived at the battlement, they saw that not far away, about two or three miles away, a soldier and horse under the banner of the Song character were approaching quickly in the open. It seems that it has been discovered by Liang Shanjun! In the distance, a group of soldiers and horses with torches came out of the camp and chased after them.
In a short time, the soldiers and horses rushed to the city, and under the illumination of more than ten torches in the front, Zhang Jun was wearing armor. The horizontal knife is on the horse, and behind him stands a flag with the word "Qu" on the book.
"Isn't it General Qu?" The commander was the first to shout. The Qu family is also a general in the Western Army, and Qu Duan and his brother Cookie have already emerged.
Behind Zhang Jun, there were about 3,000 soldiers with him. At this moment, they are shouting to open the door, open the door quickly, but they are all in Guanzhong accent.
"Quickly release the drawbridge and open the city gates." Mu Chun immediately shouted.
"Ah-" The commander beside him was suddenly startled, and hurriedly persuaded Mu Chun: "Commander Mu can't help this, the opening of the city gate is required by Captain Liu's order." β
"Captain Liu's order?" Mu Chun smiled. "Don't you want to watch your brothers die outside the city? Or maybe they thought that the Liang Shanjun who was coming was blind......" As he blurted out what he had just said, a group of followers behind the Mu brothers had already rushed forward, shaking the wooden wheels hanging from the drawbridge, and the shouts were heard below, first the sound of heavy wooden poles falling to the ground, and then the sound of the city gate opening with the creaking sound. Liu Yanqing's life is still needed there.
"Commander Mu, Commander Mu......" The commander grabbed the battlements with his backhand, looking at the drawbridge on the moat outside the city slowly falling, and his heart was very anxious. The authenticity of the soldiers and horses in this city has not yet been verified, how can the drawbridge be lowered and the city gate opened. He shouted twice in a row, "Neverβ" but the word didn't come out, and he turned his head to look at Mu Chun, and the commander couldn't make a second sound. Mu Hong strode forward, his palm on the man's neck, this man was already dead and couldn't die anymore.
The last thing his eyes saw was Mu Chun's cold and murderous eyes.
In this way, Chao Gai captured Jiangzhou City. caught Cai Dezhang, but ran away with Liu Yanqing. In this way, Jiangzhou changed hands, which was equivalent to cutting off the connection between the Jiangnan Western Army and the Jiangling Song Dynasty.
It can be said that it has made a great contribution. As soon as this Jiangzhou is broken, Hongzhou will take it again. Xijun Hugh said that it was the way back to the west, that is, half of the southbound road was jammed.
The good news came, and the East and West Liangshan Army were all excited.
The Liangshan army marched south, and the progress was rapid. (https:)
