Yanzhou Zhizhou, the regimental training envoy and other officials were so frightened that they hurriedly called their subordinates to roll up fine silver and abandon the city and escape.

In the ten counties under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, Fengfu, Surabaya, Xixian, Zouxian, Rencheng, Xianyuan, Laiwu, Jinxiang and Yutai, each county has no more than 500 soldiers and horses.

Shi Jin sent Wang Yin to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, and where he passed, Nazhi County set off early and fled.

In less than a month, Shi Jin took over Yanzhou Quanzhou.

Shi Jin entrusted Wang Yin to take charge of Yanzhou's military affairs, recruit soldiers, and guard the city.

In terms of government affairs, it is in charge of the god operator Jiang Jing.

Being able to be in charge of a state's government affairs made Jiang Jing, a god operator, very excited. He didn't even pass the imperial examination, but now he is holding a position similar to Zhizhou, which makes him very excited.

He decided that he must do a big job, so that others would know that Jiang Jing was not only proficient in books and calculations, but also had a talent for governance.

With the help of many brothers, Yanzhou's affairs are slowly on the right track.

Time flies, more than 1 month has passed, and the Liangshan army has basically settled down Yanzhou. Shi Jin led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yizhou.

The war is raging on the Shandong side, and the Jiangnan side is not calm.

The people of Jiangnan were deeply exploited by Huashigang and Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yingfeng, and the rebel army led by Fang La won the enthusiastic support and response of the people.

Shi Sheng of Suzhou, Lu Xing'er of Gui'an County of Huzhou, Zhu Yan and Wu Bang of Lanxi County of Wuzhou, Chen Shishi of Fang Yanshan of Yongkang County, Huo Chengfu and Chen Hoopou of Jinyun County of Chuzhou led local peasants and participated in the uprising.

Qiu Rixin of Yuezhou Yan County, Zheng Mowang of Quzhou and others led the local Manichaean secret organization to raise troops in response.

The people of Hu, Chang, Xiu and other prefectures also "gathered disciples" and prepared to attack the prefectures and counties. When the peasants from all over the country saw the banner of the rebels and heard the sound of drums, they ran to meet them.

In just one month, with the strong support of Chai Jin, the rebel army led by Fang La successively conquered 20 counties in Shezhou and other two prefectures. The rebel army also quickly grew to 70,000 or 80,000, and the momentum was very huge, shaking the entire southeast.

As the urgent letters flew into the palace like snowflakes, they flew to the emperor's bookcase.

With the loss of one city after another, the capital was cloudy for a while, and people were panicked!

December 20, Tokyo, Buntokuden.

It's almost the New Year, and none of the military officials in the palace feel festive.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji frowned and frowned.

"Holy Lord, the Liangshan Bandit is now attacking Laizhou, and this is the second time that Tong Shuxiang has asked for reinforcements...... Su Yuanjing said with a little anxiety.

"Cai Aiqing, is it true that the capital can't send troops and horses to support Tong Aiqing?" Zhao Ji raised his head and asked in a deep voice to Taishi Cai Jing.

"The 800,000 soldiers and horses in this capital must be used for defense!" Cai Jing said a little helplessly, "News has come from the Daimyo's Mansion that there are signs of Liao troops gathering on the border. If once the Liao army conquers the Daimyo's Mansion, there will be no Xiongguan north of the capital that can stop the Liao army. If there is no heavy garrison, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the saint. These 800,000 soldiers and horses must not be easily mobilized. ”

Of course, Cai Jing knew that the so-called 800,000 forbidden army was too much, but he was afraid that there might not even be 400,000. And with Tong Guan's successive defeats, the loss of troops and generals, now I am afraid that even 300,000 soldiers and horses are very reluctant.

But where did he dare to say this kind of thing in public, he could only talk about it and talk about others to perfunctory Zhao Ji.

As for whether others will report it, it doesn't matter what happens to him Cai Jing, anyway, he Cai Jing will not come out like this.

"Oh~~!" Zhao Ji sighed, he actually knew that there was a lot of moisture in this forbidden army, but he couldn't help it. The water in this is too deep and too wide.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to nod slightly and said, "Then where can the soldiers and horses be called?" ”

"There is news from the old breed minister of Yan'an Mansion that Western Xia has not been calm recently, and the Western Army needs to guard against the Western Xia Army. The Western Army can draw more than 30,000 people at most! There was news from Liang Zhongshu, the famous mansion, that the border of Liao seemed to be a large army gathered, and in order to prevent Liao, the northern army could only send 10,000 soldiers and horses! Cai Jing said helplessly.

At present, Jiangnan and Jingxi Road are rebelling at the same time, and the Great Song Dynasty has to guard against the Great Liao, Western Xia, and even Tubo and other countries to be stationed and guarded, and troops are used everywhere, and the troops immediately appear empty.

Dazai Wang Hao persuaded in a deep voice: "Holy Lord, in order to solve the immediate predicament, we can only step up the recruitment of soldiers while sending the western army south. Other than that, there is no other way! ”

"No!" Young Master He Zhizhong stepped out of the ranks and did not agree with Wang Huangdi's proposal, "Now that the tax revenue of the imperial court is seriously insufficient, if you recruit soldiers again, the support of the treasury will be insufficient!" ”

"Holy! What He Gong said is very true, no more conscripts can be recruited. Supervising the imperial history, Chen He echoed He Zhizhong's words and said.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Chen Yushi, you have come up with a way to solve the urgent need in front of you!" Wang Hao's face sank and he said unhappily.

Li Gang, the imperial historian who supervised the imperial history and the palace of power, stood up and said loudly: "With the current strength of my Great Song Dynasty, I am not able to attack the rebels on the two sides at the same time. If we want to resolve this crisis, we must first concentrate on breaking through it. As long as I can defeat the rebels all the way, my Great Song dilemma can be solved! ”

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji heard this and asked, "Then in your opinion, which rebel army should be defeated first?" ”

Li Gang carefully analyzed the Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji and said: "Among the two rebel armies, in fact, the more threatening is Fang La's way. Although Shi Jin's gang of thieves was close to Beijing, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command were also very brave, the minister thought that the danger was slightly smaller. There are hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops stationed in the Beijing Division, how dare he Shi Jincai come to attack the Beijing Division with only 20,000 soldiers and horses. If you can't kill this person in a short time, add time, wait until he attacks Jiangnan, and then go up the river, conquer Jiangzhou, Xiangyang and other places, and cut off the Yangtze River with a naval army, you can completely occupy the danger of the Yangtze River according to our Great Song Dynasty, and then the north of the Yangtze River will no longer be owned by my Great Song Dynasty. Jiangnan is an important place for my Great Song Dynasty tax payment, and we must not lose it. If our army can manage to break through the road of Fangla, and pacify Jiangnan. Shi Jin is not a thief to worry about! ”

"Holy Mingjian! In terms of strength, Fang La in Jiangnan now has more than 100,000 troops, far better than the gang of thieves in Liangshan. If you want to concentrate your forces to break through all the way first, you should avoid the strong and attack the weak, defeat Shi Jin, who is the weakest, first, and then deal with Fang La wholeheartedly! Chen Zongshan, the former lieutenant of the palace, shouted.

"Holy Lord, Weichen agrees with Li Yushi's plan, the immediate priority is to defeat Fang La as soon as possible and recover the land south of the Yangtze River!" Imperial Doctor Cui Jing stood up and shouted.

Wang Hao said in a deep voice: "As far as the threat to Jingshi is concerned, Jiangnan Lala is far inferior to Liangshan Shijin. At this moment, the Jingshi is facing the threat of Liangshan, and if it cannot be repelled as soon as possible, it will definitely endanger the safety of the Jingshi. Although Fang La is hateful, but in front of him is only the problem of scabies, and the minister thinks that he should break Shi Jin first, and then concentrate his forces to attack Fang La. ”

Liang Shicheng also exclaimed: "If Shi Jin is left alone, what if he really attacks Jingshi desperately?" ”

"Don't worry! On the one hand, he only ordered Tong Guan to step up his defense, beware of Shi Jinxi's attack on the Beijing Division, and on the other hand, he ordered all prefectures and counties on the Jingdong Road to be strictly guarded, and not to slack off, it would not be easy for Shi Jinjun to capture Jingdong Road in a short time! Li Gang said calmly.

……

For a time in the imperial court, one faction asked to send troops to exterminate Fang La, and the other faction asked to send troops to exterminate Shi Jin first.

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji felt that what both sides said made sense, and hesitated, not knowing how to choose. ()
