Chapter 162: Capture Fang La alive and return to Beijing to restore his purpose

Fang La saw that Zhao Gou's eyes were cold, and his hands were slowly stretched out, and he who had been on the defensive finally showed his offensive side, staring intently, not daring to take his eyes off at all. Zhao Gou's posture showed that he was going to attack, and Fang La had to be on guard.

Rather than letting Zhao Gou attack him, it is better to take the initiative himself. Fang La pondered for a moment, and did not hesitate to launch a new round of offensive, he was unwilling to wait for Zhao Gou to attack, but took the initiative to attack himself. The Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand danced again and roared away.

"This ...... No way! ”

Fang La's eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at Zhao Gou who was stunned, only to see him holding his hands against his Fang Tian's halberd, stunned and unable to move. Zhao Gou knew that his flesh and blood could not withstand the sharp Fang Tian Painting Halberd, so he could only take this method to stop Fang La's offensive.

Then, Zhao Gou moved, like a tiger pounced on a rabbit, he dragged Fang Tian's halberd fiercely, got up coldly, and kicked it out directly. Fang La saw that he couldn't hold Fang Tian's halberd, and saw Zhao Gou's attack, so he had to give up the weapon in his hand in a hurry, and his body retreated suddenly.

When he left, Zhao Gou grabbed Fang Tian's halberd and disdained it. Under Fang La's surprised gaze, Fang Tian's halberd was broken into two. It turned out that when Zhao Gou held it, his hands were full of internal strength, and he didn't hesitate to pinch them off. Even if Zhao Gou did not seize it, it would be impossible to continue the attack.

Fang La frowned and pondered: "Although the shaft of Fang Tian's halberd is not made of steel, and it is not something that ordinary people can destroy with force, I am afraid that he used his internal force and shattered it violently." In this way, his internal strength has reached a higher level, which is enough to hurt people. ”

Fang La looked at Zhao Gou with a solemn face, he knew that the next offensive was the most tricky. Without Fang Tian's halberd in hand, Zhao Gou could fight in close combat, and Fang La's martial arts could not be compared with him in close combat. Zhao Gou glanced at Fang Tian's halberd that was broken in two with disdain, and walked towards Fang La step by step.

His figure is clearly visible, and his speed is getting faster and faster. In a moment, Zhao Gou had already appeared in front of Fang La, and before he was caught off guard, Zhao Gou's right fist had already made a move, hitting Fang La's body hard. The strong force made his body retreat again, and his whole body could not move, and there were bursts of sharp pain from the part of his body that was attacked, and he had already suffered internal injuries.

Zhao Gou's offensive did not weaken in the slightest, it was still a quick move, and the move was extremely powerful, Fang La was stunned by the sudden attack, and the whole person couldn't move if he wanted to. Zhao Gou's previous attack was the numbness on his body, and his entire body was paralyzed, making him look like a human punching bag, constantly attacked by Zhao Gou.

Fang La hurriedly lucked his internal strength, his internal strength was not as deep as Zhao Gou's, and it was much stronger than Lu Junyi and the others. With the help of the true qi in his body, he dissolved the injuries on his body, and unloaded the strength of Zhao Gou's fist, but it was still not completely removed, and there was still a part of the power that hit his body heavily.

"Wow! ……”

Zhao Gou did his best, he was ruthless in his moves, his hands were heavy, and there was internal force in his hands, and every move and style hit Fang La's body hard. He could still hold on for a while, but after a long time, even if Fang La unloaded part of his strength, he still hit his body hard, spurting blood from his mouth, and his body flew out upside down.

"As I said, you are not my opponent, and you have to be strong!" Zhao Gou persuaded him in high spirits, "I will advise you again, if you surrender, you will ......be captured."

"Surrender? Dream! Fang La wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up arrogantly, and let him surrender It is better to die on the battlefield, at least to die well.

It's just that Zhao Gou won't really kill him. Just because Song Huizong personally ordered it, the others could do whatever he wanted, only Fang La could never be killed, he could only be captured alive, and he had to be handed over to Song Huizong himself. It is understandable that Fang La does not surrender, even if he surrenders, he will die, and if he does not surrender, he will die, so it is better to die in a vigorous battle.

However, will Zhao Gou let him get his wish? Of course not!

Since Fang La was unwilling to surrender, Zhao Gou would no longer continue to persuade him to surrender, and after knowing Fang La's intentions, he would no longer show mercy to his subordinates. Moreover, Zhao Gou's move seems to be ruthless, but in fact, he has his own measure, and he will definitely not kill Fang La. It is much easier to kill him than to spare his life, all you need to do is make a desperate move; To spare his life, you need to control the power.

Zhao Gou no longer gave Fang La any chance to counterattack, and directly launched an offensive, wave after wave, the strength sometimes increased and sometimes weakened, the purpose was to break the last line of defense of Fang La's psychology. However, Fang La is also worthy of being a generation of heroes, and he stood up again and again after falling down again and again.

The Song army cheered loudly, and the southern army was anxious and worried, forming a stark contrast.

Fang La can be regarded as having truly seen Zhao Gou's martial arts, he has never seen someone so powerful, the stormy attack made Fang La gradually fall, his body has suffered heavy damage, and he has no strength to stand up. Zhao Gou's sharp attack made him powerless to parry.

It was only at this time that Fang La knew that Zhao Gou had released the water before, not to use his real strength. Fang La smiled with relief, he finally got what he wanted, spit blood from his mouth, was seriously injured, and collapsed on the ground, thinking silently: "It is worthy of being a disciple taught by a generation of martial arts masters, and it is really better than the blue, I am completely lost!" ”

Seeing that Fang La was defeated, Fang Jie was the first to kill him, wanting to rescue Fang La, but he was killed on the spot by Hua Rong with an arrow through his chest. The soldiers of the southern army saw that Fang La was seriously injured and dying, and the general Fang Jie was also shot to death by the Song army, and no one led the army to panic.

The Song army also swarmed up and killed the past. In the Gangyuan Cave that day, the corpses killed were all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, and more than 8,000 Fang La barbarians were killed. Zhao Gou escorted to Fang La to wait outside, and Song Jiang commanded the army, and at that moment Song Jiang sent an order, let the soldiers set fire to the palace directly, and the dragon tower and phoenix pavilion, the inner garden deep palace, and the pearl and green houses were all incinerated.

After doing all this, Song Jiang led the army to Zhao Gou again, and said; "Tell the marshal, kill more than 8,000 thieves, capture 2,000 alive, and destroy all the palaces in the cave!"

Zhao Gou nodded and let him go down, his eyes were looking at the corpses all over the Gangyuan Cave, the blood was flowing like a river, and there was nothing to be done, this is the war, sighing: "Huangwu Zhu Xuan is half into the clouds, and the blood is infinite." If it is still extravagant, the house of Qiong will not be burned. ”

Immediately, Zhao Gou ordered the army to return to the city, and Fang La was escorted to Qingxi County. Everyone has returned to Qingxi City, and Zhao Gou rewarded the three armies, slaughtered cattle and sheep, and let everyone drink wine and delicacies. Zhao Gou was also in a good mood when he saw the big victory, and the entire military camp was full of staggered plans and laughter.

"What? Is Marshal Zhao trying to taunt me? ”

Fang La saw that Zhao Gou did not drink with everyone, but came to the prisoner car, and was shocked, but his mouth was mocking. Now, he has really become a loner, without a single soldier in his hands, and he has become a prisoner, and what is even more ironic is that it is only a teenager who defeated him, but it is just the year of dancing spoons, it is really difficult to accept, but he has to accept it.

Zhao Gou smiled: "Although the kid is still young, I am the final winner." This time, you lose, you should know what the outcome looks like. I respect you as a hero, and I specially sent you on the last journey, but I am afraid that there will be no chance to talk to you on the way back to Beijing. ”

Fang La was surprised: "Are you joking?" ”

In his opinion, Zhao Gou's behavior made him even more unacceptable. Although he didn't know what Zhao Gou meant, he was a defeated general and had been reduced to a prisoner, so how could he be qualified to talk to him or ridicule himself. Therefore, Fang La's tone was very unpleasant, and even a little sarcastic.

Zhao Goufu smiled, ignored it, took out the wine jar, poured a full bowl of wine, and then poured a bowl himself, and said: "From my standpoint, you are an enemy, if you are a good man in terms of rivers and lakes, but also a hero, this bowl of wine is my respect for you." ”

Fang La saw that he drank it all, and he didn't know what Zhao Gou meant, but he still drank this bowl of wine for face, and sighed: "It's been a long time since I've drunk such a beautiful wine, maybe it's the last time!" ”

"Do you know where you lost?" After Zhao Gou drank it all, he said: "You are defeated in your own pride, if you are not self-righteous, you will abandon the city and flee at the last moment, as if you have forgotten that you are a person of the rivers and lakes, and you have almost forgotten all about love and righteousness, if you are not too proud and self-righteous, I am afraid that it will take more time to defeat you." ”

Fang La sneered: "If it weren't for the appearance of characters like you in the Song army, I'm afraid that none of them would be my opponents, and the matter has come to this point, so there is no need to say more!" ”

Zhao Gou smiled: "You are wrong, you are outrageously wrong." Even without me, there will be people who will be able to resist you, do you really think that you are just relying on the strength gained by gathering a crowd to revolt, plus you are the leader of the Manichaean sect to gather a group of generals who can fight well, and vainly want to subvert the imperial court, and say something that is not good, you are simply dreaming. ”

"Humph!" Fang La snorted coldly, how could the general of the defeated army be brave, he was a little unconvinced, and he didn't want to refute it.

"The combat effectiveness of the Great Song army has been very strong from beginning to end, and only good generals are needed to exert strong combat effectiveness. It's just that the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and suppressed military force, so that the status of the military generals in the court was not as good as that of Wenchen, and even the expedition had to have Wenchen as the commander-in-chief, dragging down the combat effectiveness of the army. ”

Zhao Gou continued: "When you gathered a crowd to revolt, captured several cities, and occupied more than half of the forces in the south, have you ever thought about how many real generals there are, and what is the commander of an army, I think you should know better than me. Now, if you are defeated, you are defeated because you did not see the situation clearly, and you want to confront the Great Song Dynasty, from your point of view, from the perspective of the people of the world, you are wrong, you are outrageously wrong! ”

"What the people of the world want is a stable and comfortable life, and the sun rises and rests, but what you practice through righteousness is not benevolence. Even if you take the throne, do you really think that if you control the overall situation, you will be able to keep the people well-fed? Have you forgotten that the border of the Great Song Dynasty is eyeing the Jin and Liao countries? ”

Fang La was silent, and Zhao Gou didn't want to say more, the words had come to this, I believe he could understand. Zhao Gou drank a bowl of wine again, then turned around and left, leaving Fang La, who was contemplating alone. He couldn't take his eyes off the back of the departing Zhao Gou, and in an instant there seemed to be an illusion, the Zhao Gou in front of him was by no means a teenager, and those words alone were enough to show that he was mature, experienced, and a veritable wise man, and said self-deprecatingly: "I was actually taught a lesson by a kid, it's really ironic!" Am I really wrong? ”

With the age and experience of the two, Zhao Gou was not qualified to show off in front of Fang La, but what he said and did made it difficult for Fang La to refute. In fact, Fang La really didn't think about it so much, he only thought about overthrowing the corrupt rule, ignoring his own advantages and disadvantages, and also understood that his strategic mistakes were a complete defeat, and the real defeat was not the troops and generals, but the commander of the army.

That night, Fang La had been thinking about Zhao Gou's words, and he would also think of what he had done. At the beginning, when the crowd revolted, in order to favor the people's hearts, Fang La implemented benevolent government, without any class, everyone struggled together, and there was no way of being a monarch and a minister, they were all brothers.

With the expansion of power, the improvement of military strength, and repeated victories, gradually the local people forgot their former self, began to pay attention to the way of the monarch and ministers, and began to think about the overall situation in everything, in fact, thinking about their own personal interests. After that, Zhao Gou led the troops to attack, pressing step by step, and the generals under his command were also sideways, doing many unkind things, and the people's hearts were gradually lost, and the development of the situation was even more unexpected, and there were only more than 2,000 people left in a million army in a year, which is really a kind of irony.

Fang La whispered bitterly, "Is it really wrong? ”

The next day, Zhao Gou reorganized his army and prepared to return to Beijing to resume his order, and the war was over, so there was no need to stay here longer, and it was imperative to return to Beijing as soon as possible. The surviving generals of this expedition were: vanguard envoy Song Jiang, deputy vanguard Lu Junyi, military adviser Wu Yong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Sun Li, Hua Rong, Chai Jin, Zhu Tong, Dai Zong, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Li Kui, Ruan Xiaoqi, Yan Qing, Li Jun, Lin Chong, Yue Fei, Liu Qi, Yang Yizhong, Wu Lan, Tang Huai, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, a total of 24 people.

The generals who died in the battle were: Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaoqi, Shi Xiu, Shi Qian, Yang Zhi, Yang Xiong, Liu Tang, Lei Heng, Zhang Heng, Xie Zhen, Shi Jin, Zhang Shun, and Zhang Qing, a total of thirteen people. Wu Song cut off an arm, Yue Fei and three others were seriously injured, and countless other generals were killed in the battle, with a total of more than 30,000 soldiers killed in the battle, and it took a year to truly complete the successful completion.

Comparatively speaking, the generals killed in the Southern Army were much more serious than those of the Song Army, and almost all of them were killed, leaving no hidden dangers. If it weren't for Fang La's carelessness, Song Jun would not only have killed a dozen people, but there would have been more. It's just that some things are already doomed and can't be changed.

It's a foregone conclusion, everything is over!

Zhao Gou led the army to return to Beijing, and Fang La was taken into custody in a prisoner car, so that the conquest of Fang La was completely over. The troubles in the Great Song Dynasty have been cut off, the generals led by Song Jiang in Shuibo Liangshan have returned to the imperial court under the conquest of Zhao Gou, and the rebel army led by Fang La that endangered the imperial court has also been completely wiped out, and there is no such a large rebel force in the country, which can be regarded as stable.

Next, Zhao Gou has to face an officialdom struggle that is more dangerous than war, and it is also a prelude to really deal with worries and meet the attack of the Jin State. If it is handled properly, Da Song is safe and sound; If not handled properly, history will repeat itself, and all efforts will be in vain.
