Chapter 240: The Five Roads of Anjuping (1)
The peace talks with the Zheng family were originally scheduled to be held two days later, but in the past two days, Shi Lang sent another military report that the Zheng family's huge fleet of 200 warships, led by Zheng Zhilong's fourth brother Zheng Zhifeng, had been stationed in Guanhaiwei, which was across the sea from the Zhoushan Islands, and there were only one or two hundred nautical miles away.
This Guanhaiwei was once captured by Fang Yuan's troops, and also defeated Shi Fu, the fierce general of the Zheng family's water war, and captured Shi Lang, but because it was too far away, Fang Yuan had no energy and funds to defend and operate, and was only managed by the Zhejiang General Army.
As soon as the Zheng family fleet went north, Guanhaiwei was immediately lost again and was used as a naval base for the Zheng family fleet.
Jinyiwei, who was monitored in Jiangnan, also reported that Shi Kefa in Nanjing, Ma Shiying, the governor of Sanfu, Liu Liangzuo, the commander-in-chief of Chizhou, and Huang Degong, the deputy commander-in-chief of Huizhou, also showed signs of the transfer of troops and horses.
These four roads each sent 20,000 troops and 30,000 troops, plus the Zheng family's 50,000 sailors, the total strength reached 150,000.
The Xuanjia Army is no longer facing the Zheng Group's attack all the way, but the encirclement of the five routes, the situation is already very critical, Jing Jie and other generals of the Xuanjia Army who got the news immediately rushed to the Canglang Pavilion to discuss countermeasures.
When the generals of Jingjie rushed to the Canglang Pavilion, they were told by Jinyiwei that Fang Yuan had gone to the Peach Blossom River with Qin Zhan and Hu Qi, and took a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Peach Blossom River, as well as the Qinglou Oiran of the warbler Yanyan along the coast.
The military situation was urgent, Fang Yuan did not stay in Canglang Pavilion, and even the Suzhou government government discussed countermeasures, but he also traveled through the Peach Blossom River, Jing Jie immediately led the generals to take a big boat and chased along the Peach Blossom River.
The generals chased ten miles, and saw from a distance the big boat escorted by the brocade guards docked on the bank of Xu Hua's Taoyuan River, and a top courtesan who was admiring the Taoyuan on the riverbank was singing a light tune.
Jing Jie immediately got on the boat, and saw that Fang Yuan was really lying on the recliner, closing his eyes and recuperating, and said leisurely, "Fourth, I still prefer this kind of folk tune to Kunqu Opera. Chen Yuan is not here, the peach garden has really lost a lot of color, and the stunning beauty fruit is naturally beautiful, but it is impossible to find it! ”
Qin Zhan patted his ass on the side and said, "I don't think this woman is bad, it's the boss's vision that is too high, except for Qin Huai Bayan, the princess, who can get into the boss's eyes?" ”
Jing Jie saw that the two were still talking about beauties, so he was angry, and stepped forward and said angrily, "Boss, the military situation is urgent, and you are still listening to the tune?" ”
Fang Yuan opened his eyes slightly, propped himself up, took his hand and said, "Third child, you came just in time, sit down and listen to the minor tune together, hehe!" ”
Jing Jie sat beside him with a displeased expression and said, "Boss, the soldiers and horses of the Five Routes, at least 150,000 troops are pressing the border, and the Five Mansions are already in flames everywhere, taking care of one and losing the other, you really have the leisure to do so!" ”
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Isn't Zhuge Liang also leisurely fishing, so he can live in peace and five roads?" Xie An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he was still playing chess during the Battle of Weishui. We also learn what is the so-called Wei and Jin demeanor, and what is the so-called Wei and Jin demeanor, and what is the smoke and ashes between talking and laughing, haha! ”
Jing Jie was made to cry and laugh by him, and said angrily, "Boss, it is the demeanor of Wei and Jin that must be won, the grace of celebrities and gentlemen, Zhuge Liang and Xie An, otherwise it is Gao Wei and Chen Shubao!" If the boss has any strategy to retreat from the enemy, I will listen to it. ”
Fang Yuan took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "The third child, Nanjing Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, the governor of the three prefectures, Huang Degong of Huizhou, and Liu Liangzuo of Chizhou, these four soldiers and horses, I have a way to make them retreat." ”
Jing Jie looked at him in amazement and asked, "Boss, are you kidding?" Let's talk about the way to retreat from the enemy! ”
Fang Yuan took his hand and said, "Third brother, don't worry, don't worry, you think I'm traveling through the Peach Blossom River?" Actually, I'm waiting for someone. Come, let's sit down first, drink tea, listen to the song, sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter, right? ”
Jing Jie sat suspiciously on Fang Yuan's side, accompanied him to listen to a small song for a while, only to see a flower boat approaching in the distance, and one person got on the big boat where Fang Yuan was, it was Wu Dashan, the leader of the Shanshan merchant gang.
Wu Dashan got on the boat, respectfully saluted Fang Yuan, and asked, "Fang Junmen is looking for me?" ”
Fang Yuan smiled at him and said, "Old Wu! I'll treat you Shanshan merchants a lot! ”
Wu Dashan couldn't see what Fang Yuan was doing by himself, so he patted his chest and said, "Fang Junmen, if you have something to say, I can do it, Old Wu, and I will never say a word." ”
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Liu Liangzuo, the chief soldier of Chizhou, is a person from the left guard of Datong, Shanxi!" ”
The Shanshan Merchant Gang is a merchant gang from the north to the south, and they are good at forming gangs on weekdays, so naturally they have also done some smuggling business with Liu Liangzuo, Wu Dashan hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" ”
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Now that this Liu Liangzuo dares to raise troops to enter the country, you Shanshan Merchant Gang will think of a strategy for retreating for this army?" ”
His smile became brighter and brighter, Wu Dashan was more and more frightened, shook his hand and said, "Fang Junmen, we and Liu Liangzuo are also friends in Pingshui, where is there a strategy to retreat?" ”
Fang Yuan patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said leisurely, "This army has a strategy for retreating, but I need your Shanshan merchants to do a small favor." ”
Wu Dashan hurriedly asked, Fang Yuan continued, "Your Shanxi merchant gang sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Liangzuo, as long as there is a soldier and a horse in Chizhou Mansion who dare to step into the jurisdiction of this army, your Shanxi merchant gang will copy the ancestral tomb of the Liu family in Shanxi, and the whole Liu clan will not be left to slaughter!" You can also bring another sentence to Liu Liangzuo for this military gate, and this military gate will be the first to kill him Liu Liangzuo afterwards, capture him alive and take him to Suzhou Mansion Ling Chi to be executed! ”
Fang Yuan was full of murderous energy, where did Wu Dashan dare to say a word, maybe it annoyed Fang Yuan, and the Shanshan Merchant Gang was wiped out together, and said in a loud voice, "Okay, okay, Fang Junmen, I will send someone to bring the message immediately." ”
After Wu Dashan went, Fang Yuan smiled at Jingjie and said, "Third brother, Liu Liangzuo is just a cowardly coward, and I don't think he has the courage to gnaw on the hard bone of the Xuanjia Army." Frightened, he retreated to Chizhou. The first way, retreat, heh! ”
Jing Jie took a deep breath, and then he believed that Fang Yuan's visit to the Peach Blossom River was by no means pretending to be elegant, but really implementing the strategy of retreating.
Half an hour later, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and a merchant ship came up again. This time, it was Jiang Yan of the Hui Merchants Gang.
Seeing Jiang Yan, Fang Yuan's previous smile disappeared, and he said with a gloomy face, "Boss Jiang, you Hui merchants have done a good thing!" ”
Jiang Yan was puzzled when he heard that it was the second monk Zhang, and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by this?" Please make it clear at Fang Junmen. ”
Fang Yuan slapped the table heavily, tea splashed, and said in a deep voice, "This military gate gives you a big financial road for Hui merchants and merchants, you are good, you make money and bite this military gate, are you forcing this military gate to go crazy?!" ”
Jiang Yan was really angry when he saw him, and he was so frightened that he gave up his hand again and again, "Fang Junmen, I really don't understand, where did the Hui Merchants Gang offend Fang Junmen!" ”
Fang Yuan said slowly, "Huizhou is the territory of your Huizhou merchants? ”
Jiang Yan wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes." ”
Fang Yuan said coldly, "Now the grain, grass, soldiers, horses, and armaments of Huizhou Mansion are all bought at a low price by your Huizhou merchants, right?" The commanders and acquaintances of the guards almost all of the guerrillas were related to the Hui merchants and merchants, right? This army has fed the Huizhou merchant gang, and now Huang Degong, the deputy chief soldier of Huizhou, has led 30,000 troops to invade the territory, and the Huizhou merchant gang can't get rid of it! ”
It was a matter of military and political affairs, Jiang Yan was so frightened that his vest broke out in a cold sweat, and he said again and again, "This, this, before General Huang sent out the army, he didn't discuss it with our Hui merchant gang!" ”
Fang Yuan looked at him obliquely, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, "Okay, okay, for the time being, this military sect will save you from prison if you Hui merchants and merchants don't know about it." However, if there is any loss of soldiers, horses, grain and grass caused by Huang Degong's invasion, as well as the casualties of the people, I will ask you Hui merchants to help report the account, it should not be too much! ”
Jiang Yan was bloodless, but he finally understood Fang Yuan's sudden frenzy, that is, to ask the Huizhou merchants to put pressure on the Huizhou Mansion and the guard, so that the deputy chief soldier Huang Degong would withdraw from the army. Otherwise, the family wealth of the Hui Merchants and Merchants will be confiscated to make up for the losses on the battlefield, and with Fang Yuan's previous thunderous means, it will definitely be true to his word.
Jiang Yan hurriedly said, "The Hui Merchants and Merchants Gang absolutely support Fang Junmen, I will immediately send someone to discuss with General Huang Bing, it is not good to fight and kill, and the two sides should value peace!" ”
Fang Yuan asked coldly, "What if General Huang insists on going his own way?" ”
Jiang Yan hurriedly said, "Our business gang in the Huizhou Guard Station will immediately cut off the supply of military rations to General Soldier Huang, and without military rations, General Soldier Huang can only retreat." ”
Fang Yuan got his promise, and then he smiled, "Then please ask Boss Jiang for everything!" ”
Jiang Yan went resignedly, and Fang Yuan made an 'OK' gesture to Jing Jie, "Third brother, Huang Degong can also be regarded as a general soldier who obeys the orders of the imperial court." This kind of person can only put pressure on him through his colleagues and subordinates, and if he can't do it, he will be dragged back behind his back, how can he not retreat? The second way, also retreated! ”
Jing Jie had to admire Fang Yuan's ability to fight against drugs, and with a few understatements, he withdrew Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, both in terms of vision and means, and they were all first-class skilled.
Jing Jie arched his hand and said, "Boss Gao Ming, I'm convinced!" What about the other three? ”
