The original Jiangning Mansion Hall.

In Jinling City, except for Fang Jie, who was in a coma and still lying on the bed and couldn't get off the ground, all the heavyweights of the Manichaean sect were present.

In the middle sits the Holy Father's Phalan. The first on the left hand is Li Tianyan, and later is Liu Yun, the head of the Eight Hussars, and then the head of the Sailor Division, Cheng Gui, the head of the Four Dragons of Zhejiang, and then Qian Zhenpeng, Bai Qin, Zhang Jinren, Shen Ze, Zhao Yi, Gao Keli and others.

But most of them are characters from Fang La's line, and Li Tian doesn't mention it, the eight hussars are the arms of Fang La's brother Fang Maung, and Liu Yun is the best; Zhejiang Silong is the Manichaean sailor, and he is also Fang La's henchman. Now the Song Army Naval Division under the command of Liu Menglong is fighting repeatedly on a section of the Jiangning River, trying to ensure that the waterway at the north gate of Jinling City is not lost. Qian Zhenpeng is also Fang La's confidant, Zhang Jinren, Gao Keli and others are important generals under Lu Shinang, and Lu Shibao himself is one of Fang La's arms.

It can be said that the people on the left, except for Bai Qin, who is a cronie under the command of the right prime minister Zu Shiyuan, there is no second one. And Bai Qin fought with Fang Yuan in Jiangnan East Road earlier, and he struggled for his life in the Battle of Wuhu.

On the right side is Shen Tao, the political officer, followed by Du Wei, the captain of the infantry army, and then Gao Yu, the squire, Huan Yi, the secretary of the Privy Council, and others, but they are also important people in the Fang La family.

Nan'an Wang Fang Tianding is located in Hangzhou, Lou Minzhong and Zu Shiyuan are also here, as well as Bao Daoyi, Shi Bao, etc.

Wang Yin, the secretary of the military department, and Si Xingfang, Lu Shinang, etc., fought with Li Hui and Xu Huiyan on the southern line of the Liangzhejiang Road. Earlier, the three kings Fang Maung was beaten by the two of them, so Fang La changed his manpower, led troops to reinforce Jiangnan East Road with Fang Maung, and sent Wang Yin and others south to deal with Li Heng and Xu Huiyan. In this way, the defeat was reversed, and the two armies fought equally.

Fang Maung's aid to Taiping Prefecture was unfavorable, and he was transferred to Suzhou by Fang La, with Pang Wanchun as his deputy general, preparing for war all day long, constantly strengthening the city defense, and hoarding grain and grass materials.

With Fang Tianding sitting in Hangzhou and Fang La personally fighting in Jinling, the strength of Manichaeism is still not to be underestimated.

In particular, Fang Tianding was inspired by Lu Qian's passage to Haidong, sent a branch of men and horses to seize the Zhoushan Islands, and began to operate a sailor, hoarding grain and grass materials on the island, and even relocating the people. After Lu Qian got the report from the spy department, he could only sigh that this incident was not a water margin.

At this moment, Fang La summoned everyone to discuss. But it was Yang Zhi's handwritten letter that Cheng Gui had just delivered, and the words in the letter made it difficult for Fang La to make a decision for a while.

opened his mouth to open Yang Zhi's handwriting, and Fang La's eyes swept over everyone's eyes. "Let's discuss it, is this feasible?"

Li Tianyan was now the first person under Fang La, and he was the first to speak, so he got up and said, "The Holy Father sees it." The soldiers and horses in my city are still strong, so why do we need the support of the Northland soldiers? presented the feelings of the Northern Army in vain, and also taught him to shake his majesty. Even if the western army outside the city attacked very quickly, it would not be able to break through our city in the short term. In the opinion of the last general, it should be sternly refused. ”

In the eyes of many Manichaeans, Liang Shanjun was an opponent who wanted to compete with them in the future. Now Yang Zhi wants to send troops to rescue, but the drunkard does not mean to drink, and he must not allow it.

"There is a way that it is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God, and I hope that the Holy Father will think twice."

Shen Tao also stood up, "What the marshal said is true. However, he forgot that the two families in the north and south are now the good of Qin and Jin, and some tricks cannot be said clearly. Now that Yang Zhi has sent a document, he can only do a good job. Otherwise, if it is publicized, it will be King Lu's affection, righteousness, courtesy and courtesy, and we will fall to the lower level. ”

That's what the words mean. After all, Yang Zhi is a 'good intention'. Fang La was unwilling to refuse, but no one could say anything.

However, Fang La also had the heart to borrow a hand in his heart to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan as soon as possible, because he felt that Lu Qian would not come to Jiangnan without a taste. He Fang La is not dead yet? Jiangnan is not a borderless land, and this master is Lu Qian's Yue family......

"The words of the Holy Father are very true. Liu Bei's borrowing of Jingzhou is just a drama after all. King Lu has always prided himself on benevolence and righteousness, cherished feathers, and everyone in the world knows that he will not do such a pickled deed, and he has lost his statement. Gao Yu's words really surprised everyone present.

Who in this Manichaean sect doesn't know that he is the one who is the most vigilant against Lu Qi, and he doesn't want to, but now he has this attitude?!

Fang La smiled very happily, "Not bad, not bad." My son-in-law cherishes feathers the most in his life. "Look at the old brothers, which one is not properly arranged? is that Wang Lun's bird has an uncle, and his character can be seen here.

"A righteous man and a gentleman can be bullied, and King Lu can also do what he likes if he cherishes feathers like this. The Holy Father should respond to this Yang Zhi's invitation, and then publicize it so that everyone in the world will know about it. In this way, if there is an invisible shackle, Lu Qian will have to consider the consequences if he wants to play tricks.

No one is going to waste the good name they have accumulated over the years.

Li Tianyan insisted on his opinion, "The Holy Father is a villain's heart. At this point, the stakes are huge. If the Holy Father really wants to borrow troops, why not go first by water, defeat Liu Menglong, and break the arms of the Song army. You can also take advantage of this opportunity to write about Suzhou and Hangzhou, and widely participate in public discussions. ”

Fang La's heart was eager to return the book to Yang Zhi, and he was already working on the draft, but when Li Tianyan said this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He also knew that he would inevitably weaken the reputation of Manichaeism by borrowing troops against the enemy, but if he only borrowed the water army, after defeating the Song army, he could use the waterway to make the soldiers and horses in the rear continue to enter Jinling.

Although the latter is besieged, the north road is still normal. Because Chenggui's water camp is located on the north road, from the riverside to the north city wall, it is only three or four miles in total. If the Western Army comes to attack, it will be attacked on both sides. The space to turn around is also narrow.

Gao Yu watched Fang La change his mind, and he was quite annoyed in his heart. In this Manichaeism, these warriors are always valued. Accompanied by Shen Tao out of the mansion, he said on the way: "Isn't it borrowing soldiers for the help of the water master?" Everyone in the world knows that Liangshan Army has won it, so take this opportunity to test it, isn't it also a gain? ”

It has been some time since Manichaeism and the Liangshan Army 'parted ways'. If you can't guarantee people, Liang Shanjun is no longer what it used to be.

Shen Tao turned back to his residence, sat cross-legged in the study, took out a pinch of the "News" from the north, read it for a while, and suddenly stood up, asked someone to prepare a horse, and galloped to Fangla.

The latter had just gone to visit Fang Jie, who had woken up from a coma, and when he heard that Shen Tao had asked to see him, he immediately summoned someone in.

Shen Tao said after seeing the ceremony: "Today, the minister returned home, sat down for a while, and suddenly thought of something, Xu Yu is beneficial to defend the city. I didn't dare to hide it, so I came to tell the Holy Father. Fang La was overjoyed when he heard this, and told him to speak boldly.

Shen Tao said: "Tens of thousands of the Western Army have entered the customs, and they have done their best. Now the main force is outside Jinling City. The two armies fought for several months, and our army suffered heavy casualties, and the western army would not have it easy. The sergeants suffered heavy casualties, and they would be angry. Even if the two kinds of prestige are deep, with the shallow view of the ministers, such things are difficult to suppress. ”

"Such a minister dares to assert that once Jinling City is broken, the Western Army will inevitably slaughter the city in order to boost morale and appease the soldiers, and none of the prisoners of our army will survive. It is also the people in the city, and they are also miserable...... "The military discipline of the Western Army is not good." It's even worse after entering Jiangnan. None of them got the reward money to go to the war, the emperor called the western army to come to Jiangnan to take it for themselves, and the western army did not take the opportunity to make a windfall, so when will it be.

The slaughter of the city by the arson is not the meaning of all the slaughter, it refers to the plunder, during that period, the burning and plundering is not less, and the people will inevitably die innumerable, if there is a large household and a huge room, it is not one in ten. It's a pity that the Manichaean army scared away or robbed the huge house here first.

Fang La was slightly stunned, and thought so. According to what the Western Army did all the way to Jiangning, Shen Tao's guess was inevitable. But Fang La, who killed people, did too much, and he didn't think there was much to do.

"The Holy Father may make known to the whole city!"

In this way, hundreds of thousands of people in Jinling City became one with Manichaeism.
