In the city of Suzhou, Fang La was furious. Holding back his anger, a smile appeared on his old face, and he sent the envoy of the Western Army away. After that, he could no longer control his anger......

Outside the main hall, the envoy of the Western Army did not look back, but his ears were not deaf, and when he heard the sound of a beating behind him, the corners of his mouth curled, and with a happy mood, he strode out of the Fangla Palace.

And a group of characters outside the main hall watched Fang La sweep away the paperweight with a furious face, kicking over the seats, but as if they were making a play, after the Song envoy walked away, they immediately regained their calm, all of them were confused, looking at each other. I can't figure out which play Fang La is singing?

Fortunately, Fang La didn't take this mystery too long, and as the civil and military forces in the city arrived, he said so about the documents handed over by the Song envoy, and when he arrived, all the civil and military officers in the hall were furious.

"Lu Qianduan's hateful!" Zu Shiyuan said angrily. This Lu Qian is still not satisfied with Jinling and other places, and he actually wants the Western Army to give him Huzhou, Shezhou, etc., so that he will let the Western Army go, which is really hateful and annoying. Lu Qian: What is this going to do?

I don't know if Huzhou has cut off the land connection between Suzhou and Hangzhou, and I don't know if Shezhou can directly threaten Hangzhou?

"Lu Qian, don't you want to fight with our army?" Fang Xiang is furious.

Fang La was naturally annoyed, Lu Qian's abacus called Manichaeism too passive, and the faint attitude made Fang La even more angry. can think of the Western Army selling Liang Shanjun to the brim, and he feels so unhappy in his heart.

"Don't worry. Since the news came from Dazhong, he didn't want to call the Northern Army wishful. Wait and don't be impatient. However, he also saw clearly that the Dao of the Planter harbored evil intentions and divided the north and the south.

And the Manichaeans in Suzhou are not stupid, so Pang Wanchun immediately said: "I'm afraid it's just a plan for the two tigers of the old breed to compete for food." ”

"Not really. Rather, it is a reenactment of the battle of the Qin and Zhao Shangdang. A sneer appeared on Fang La's face, "The old seed has now ordered the small seed to evacuate Huzhou and teach our army to send people to take the city." His troops and horses were at ease in Changxing, blocking the southward advance of the Liangshan army. ”

Isn't this 'Huzhou' the 'Shangdang' that triggered the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping?

But knowing that this Huzhou is poisonous, Fang La also wants to eat it. It's so important to him!

And at this time in the city of Huzhou.

The inside and outside of the Zhizhou Yamen were already covered with soldiers in iron armor, all of them murderous.

Inside, the lights were bright, and the large candles the thickness of a child's arm illuminated the hall as if it were daytime. The generals were all gathered together, all dressed in armor and shining in the candlelight, but they were all silent.

The seed master entered the festival hall, and the generals hurriedly saluted, and for a while, the sound of armor colliding was endless.

This little kind did not sit down, so he said in a deep voice: "Shicai, Ben Shuai got the enemy spy report from my brother, the northern thieves have entered the Yangtze River, and they have already divided their troops into two ways, one way to reinforce Jinling, and the other road is led by Qin Ming's thieves, and goes straight to Yixing." ”

"That Yixing is owned by the Liangshan thieves, and the soldiers and horses in this department contract reinforcements, I am afraid that there are 30,000 or 20,000 horses, and they must not be underestimated."

"And what the intention of the Northern Army to reinforce Yixing is, the generals should also know it. I'm afraid that in less than two days, the army will break through Changxing City and come straight to Huzhou City. This is categorically unacceptable. ”

The generals in the hall all took a breath of cool air when they heard this, thirty or twenty thousand regular soldiers, this is amazing, and they couldn't help but turn pale.

The planter looked around and said in a deep voice: "Now that the country is in crisis, the garrison can only have a glimmer of life if it is dutiful, and you can also protect its wealth!" ”

He looked at the generals and said: "There are all in the army, martial law in urban and rural areas is closed, those who discuss in private are killed, those who dare to act without obeying military orders are killed, those who dare to spread rumors to shake the morale of the army are killed, and those who dare to be cowardly and afraid of war are killed!" ”

"Again, gather grain and grass. Except for Changxing County, all the rest of the grain and grass were transferred, along Tiaoxi to the west, to Meixi Town, and then to the land. All of them were transported into Shezhou, so that the northern thieves would not get a single grain! ”

"Curved end."

"The end will be."

"You also bring troops into Changxing. If the northern thieves come, they must guard it for five days before they can abandon the city. ”

At this time, the seed master issued orders one by one, and no one had room for opposition, and everyone knew that those who dared to disobey at this time were afraid that they would immediately have the worry of moving their heads. If so, they have promised!

At this moment, in Changxing City, Zhang Hongzheng, who retreated here from Changzhou, and Li Ruoshui, the governor of Changzhou, looked at each other. The news that the Liangshan army in the north is not full of their front-line military and political chiefs, so if there are 20,000 or 30,000 horses attacking, can Changxing City resist it? It's not a big city.

After receiving the information, Li Ruoshui's hands trembled.

On that day, he made a fake identity for his second brother, and the two brothers split up and went their own way. Now his contact with Li Ruoxu is of course cut off, but the first batch of Jinshi under the rule of Liang Shanjun is now very future, and Li Ruoshui knows it. If his second brother hadn't made a mistake, he would at least be a Zhizhou now.

Of course, Li Ruoshui does not regret it. Even if time can be reversed, he will still choose Zhao Song.

A cool breeze hit, and in the night of Jiangnan in February, Li Ruoshui was still stirred to shiver, and the copper bells under the eaves of the county government hit each other, making a crisp sound, and as far as the eye could see, the night had already fallen.

Zhang Hong sighed and asked Li Ruoshui: "Li Xianggong, how is it now?" ”

Li Ruoshui looked at it, and saw that the latter's face was pale and there was no trace of resoluteness, so he didn't like it in his heart. The county magistrate also said: "Two Rongyu, this Changxing county has few shallow soldiers, only 2,000 soldiers, how can you resist this army more than ten times?" "It's not a good truth, but it's still a big truth.

Li Ruoshui's heart was even cooler, and a kind of sadness that the tree had fallen and scattered spread in his heart. "Wang Zhixian doesn't want to be a second minister?" Li Ruoshui's voice was too cold, and the county didn't dare to do it.

Zhang Hong spoke at this time, "The plan now is to ask for help quickly, or retreat to Huzhou......" Li Ruoshui's demeanor made him dare not be presumptuous. After all, at this time, Zhang Hong's heart may only have a little sprout, and it is far from being rooted.

Speaking of this, he kept his mouth shut and carefully observed Li Ruoshui's expression.

Li Ruoshui smiled bitterly and said, "Retreating to Huzhou, isn't Commander Zhang joking, forgetting the orders of the privy councillor that day?" Everlasting and not to be lost. Dare to retreat without a privy order, isn't it an itchy neck? and go to the privy counsellor for help, and see what the privy counsel says......"

This tone immediately made Zhang Hong also show joy, he was really scared. Normal people are afraid. Two thousand soldiers fought against twenty or thirty thousand Liangshan soldiers, and looking for death was not the way to die.

"Li Xianggong, Commander Zhang, the Privy Minister's Counsellor has sent someone!" At this time, someone from outside suddenly came in to report.

Li Ruoshui, Zhang Hong and others were immediately overjoyed. The Seed Master Dao sent people here at this moment, which proved that he had not forgotten them.

If so, a big bomb fell, instantly scorching everyone on the outside and on the inside.

The military commander Quduan then brought in reinforcements, and Changxing County held out for at least five days.

"From now on, martial law will be closed in urban and rural areas, and those who discuss in private will be killed, those who dare to act without following military orders will be killed, those who dare to spread rumors to shake the morale of the army will be killed, and those who dare to be cowardly and afraid of war will be killed! Announce to the whole city, and let the salty envoy know! ”

Zhang Hong secretly complained in his heart, and the county was also bitter, but he wanted to bow down and obey his orders.

"Lee Sang-gong's festival of loyalty and righteousness is admirable. There is a kind of privy secret, the national crisis is at the head, and the prime minister can be loyal to his duties and live up to the emperor's grace. ”

Li Ruoshui burst into tears and bowed: "There are no two days in the sky, if there are two masters in Shuining!" ”

After saying this, when he returned to his stay, Li Ruoshui followed Xie Ning and explained: "Xianggong's parents are already high in the spring and autumn, how can they ask a white-haired person to send a black-haired person?" If you bend less, you will also return to Hajj. ”

Li Ruoshui suddenly turned pale, and scolded: "I don't care about my family anymore!" Loyal ministers and kings, there is no difference between death and death. However, I am dear to the elders, don't tell them immediately when you go back, just let my brother tell them slowly. "Hengzhu's second brother will not be bad in the Northland. What are his concerns?

Then he said to Xie Ning: "I died for the country, where is my duty!" The Northern Army is good at benevolence and righteousness, and it will not be difficult for you, don't worry. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Qu Duan led 3,000 people into Changxing County. By noon, Tanma reported that the Liangshan army had come to kill him.

Qin Mingzhi released his army to scout the horses, fought slightly, and captured several people. Catch and ask, but not everyone is a tough guy. All the news in the city was known.

When Thunderbolt heard this, he only sneered, and wanted to block this vast army with only a small county town, which was really a joke.

Even if there were 5,000 soldiers in that city, he didn't take it seriously.

It's just that what worries Qin Ming is that kind of attitude in the division. That's a tough look. What about the Plantation Master's Dao?

As long as the big and small species are not stupid, they know that they can't hold Huzhou at all. With the current strength of the Liangshan Army, it is not a problem to divide a part to capture the Guangde Army, or even to fight Xuanzhou.

That small kind sent 5,000 people in Changxing County, I'm afraid that if it is not to make a big barrier, the change is a bluff. A heavy-handed way to put pressure on confidential conversations.

"The song came just right. Our army is upright, that is, it is to destroy the front, and see if the Western Army can still rise? "Liang Shanjun wanted to send him out of the country, and then he came to talk to the good students of Manichaeism, and it seemed that the size of the species was not interesting.

"Then Changxing County is in the way, just open it directly!"

Qin Ming's words were imposing.

"Put the crossbow arrows first, shoot the letter of persuasion into it, and give him an hour. The rest of the army rests and prepares for battle! ”

But it is also not a great hope for persuasion.

Qin Ming was on his horse, and when he looked at the county seat from afar, Qu Duan also held his clairvoyance to look at the Liangshan army under the city.

The army in front of it was about five or six thousand people, and there were no formed cavalry, and at this moment they were lined up outside the county seat, sitting on the ground, and a few people took out dry food to recuperate.

An hour passed, and the city naturally did not react. Qu Duan had the urge to lead his troops to sneak attack, but he endured it after all.

The spring breeze in the south of the Yangtze River blows the banner hunting and hunting, the front army is all the elite of the Chinese army governor's mansion, the southern conquest and the northern war, it is unusually rich, the army is strict, calm as a mountain.

At a glance, people will know that it is the absolute elite soldier.
