Zhao Gou guessed well, Fang La was in the Bangyuan Cave, like sitting on pins and needles, and his face was sad every day. Now, the Song army has besieged him for several days; At the moment, Fang La is a general who is short of soldiers and food, and there is no general under his command to fight, and even the food accumulated in the cave is gradually decreasing.

Fang Jie looked at Fang La, who was frowning, and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, there is not much grain and rice in the cave, at most, it will only survive tomorrow and it will really be exhausted." If our army has no more food and rice, I am afraid that the brothers will not be able to support it, or even take refuge in the Song army, please make plans as soon as possible. ”

Fang La sighed: "I know, you go down to spread my will, let all the brothers gather together, I have something to say!" ”

Fang Jie was shocked, so he had to obey his orders. Immediately, all the soldiers were brought over, only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and some of them were seriously wounded. These days, Zhao Gou did not attack, but ate and drank outside the cave, and everyone was hungry.

Fang La knew that this was Zhao Gou's strategy, but he was also powerless, and guessed that he had run out of food with Zhao Gou's resourcefulness, so as to attract everyone to surrender. These days, everyone can only barely fill their stomachs, and their hearts are also up and down. These days, Fang La's mind has come to mind the appearance of when he once gathered a crowd to revolt.

Thinking back to the beginning, Fang La gathered people to revolt, won the hearts of the people, and there were many people under his command who could fight well, occupying most of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was in the limelight for a while, and even he himself was full of spirits. I never thought that in just two years, I would fall to such a point, there were only 10,000 people left in the million-strong army, and all the generals around me were killed, and I sighed: "I am ordered by the sky, but I am the true dragon and the son of heaven, it is really ridiculous!" ”

Fang Jie said; "Your Majesty, everyone gathers to ask the emperor to decree!"

Fang La nodded, let Fang Jie retreat, glanced at the 10,000 soldiers, and said, "Since the uprising, I have been invincible, and the army of the Song Dynasty is like a mantis arm in front of me, vulnerable to attack. You are all people who have followed me from the beginning, and now you have fallen into such a field, it is my fault! ”

"Now, the Song army has surrounded this place, and we have no way to retreat but to fight to the death. I know that there are families among you, and I will not compel you any more. If you are willing to fight to the death with me, then stay; If you don't want to, you can get out of the cave on your own and surrender to the Song army. ”

"You are all soldiers, but you are just ordinary people, I don't think the commander of the Song army will kill the killer, and you can also be reunited with your family, I won't blame!"

Fang Jie was shocked: "Your Majesty, this ......"

Fang La stopped what he was about to say, as the emperor, Fang La knew that if there were no such people, the two of them would definitely be the turtles in the urn of the Song army. If these people can fight for a while, there may be a chance to escape. However, Fang La had already thought deeply about it in the past few days, and no longer expected to escape again, but fought to the death with the Song army.

Therefore, Fang La decided to give these people a chance to choose, if they were willing to follow him to continue fighting, then they would stay, and if they were not, they would go their separate ways and never see each other again. Fang La had already decided in his heart that he no longer had any doubts, at this time he was no longer the king of a country, but like the head of Manichaeism, like a child of the rivers and lakes.

As the king of a country, there are many things to consider, but it is difficult to take care of all the scruples, and everything must be considered for yourself. After he calmed down these days, he found that when the Song army attacked Wulongling, if he didn't care about his own safety and was willing to send troops to reinforce him, he would not have been defeated so quickly, but unfortunately some things were too late.

Now that Fang La has relieved himself of the heavy responsibilities on his body, he is a person from the rivers and lakes at this moment, and he is no longer the emperor. As a person of the rivers and lakes, he will return to the old Fang La, who is very affectionate and righteous, rejoicing with the people, fighting side by side with his brothers, and will never back down, hoping that he has been the emperor for too long, enjoying a luxurious life for too long, and forgetting that he is a person who has been in the rivers and lakes, and he is also a person who has traveled through the rivers and lakes.

Fang La's words not only shocked Fang Jie, but even the soldiers below were speechless, looking at Fang La dumbfounded. At this time, they looked at Fang La as if he was the one who once valued love and righteousness, and was no longer the king of a country. Everyone looked at each other, and no one was willing to stand up and turn their backs on Fang La, until one person was willing to advance and retreat with Fang La, and everyone also agreed.

"I wish to follow the emperor to live and die together!"

Fang Jie looked at his imperial uncle, his eyes widened, and he secretly shouted, "Uncle! ……”

At this moment, Fang Jie also saw the figure of Fang La in the past, and he couldn't help shouting "uncle" in his heart, not "emperor". The emperor represents power, does not need to scruple about feelings, and everything is focused on the overall situation; Uncle represents family affection, does not need to pay attention to the overall situation, but is a real family, advancing and retreating together.

Fang La shouted: "Okay! In that case, then we will fight to the death with the Song army tomorrow! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Fang La asked Fang Jie to take out all the food preparations, and he also took it upon himself to eat and live with everyone, as if he had put down his identity and turned into a civilian. Everyone let go of their hands and feet to eat and drink, just because they all knew that this meal might be the last meal in their lives, so they ate happily and comfortably, no matter what the result was, they all moved forward, forgetting life and death, only the friendship of sharing weal and woe.

The words were divided into two ends, and the spy Pegasus came to report: "Marshal Qiyu, the Fang Lathief took out the grain and ate with the soldiers!" ”

Zhao Gou nodded and muttered, "It's finally time to fight to the death!" ”

Fang La's move was all under Zhao Gou's nose, and he sent someone to keep an eye on it early, in order to know Fang La's every move. These days, Fang La's specific actions and spies were not clear, but Fang La's last words were still heard by them, and they came back immediately.

This night, Zhao Gou also ordered the army to be repaired, and tomorrow will be the moment for the real decisive battle. When everyone heard Zhao Gou's general order, their hearts were excited, and they couldn't resist the urge to kill Fang La. These days, everyone is gearing up, as long as the battle of Fang La is truly over, so that the army can return to Beijing to deliver the holy decree.

Since Fang La's uprising was huge, threatening to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, and insulting Song Huizong, Song Huizong was furious. Song Jiang and others accepted the imperial court's recruitment, and received the holy decree before they rested for a long time. Moreover, this time it has been a year since I left the capital. Since the southern expedition of the army, the brothers have died a lot, if they don't capture Fang La, the thief, I am afraid that it will continue to consume time, and Zhao Gou is not willing to wait any longer.

As long as Fang La is captured alive and escorted to the capital and handed over to the emperor for disposal, then this time the task will be truly completed. Zhao Gou didn't expect that this expedition would take a year, if it weren't for the assistance of Song Jiang and others, it would take longer to destroy Fang La, and the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of Li all over the world were suffering, and only by solving the internal worries in the Great Song Dynasty could the next step be truly launched.
