Three fireworks burst into the sky, revealing momentary beauty in the dark night.

New Year's Day, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed early, who will set off fireworks at this time, when the rebels who went out of the city to rob the camp were surprised, they suddenly shouted to the sky on the way to rob the camp, and then there was a bowstring sound, and countless arrows fell towards the rebels in the team like a downpour.

Caught off guard, and without heavy armor protection, the vanguard of the righteous army who screamed and wanted to sneak attack the official army camp suffered heavy losses, and countless arrows fell to the ground.

The original sneak attack became the side that was sneak attacked, which completely stunned the rebels, but fortunately, they were prepared in advance, and the five thousand rebels fought and retreated, turning around and retreating to Hangzhou City.

In the dark night, I couldn't see what was happening in the distance, but I didn't have to think that the rebel generals in Hangzhou City also knew what was going on, and Fang La, who was standing at the head of the city, was even more pale, and everyone under his command didn't dare to speak.

General Lu shook his head slightly.

……

"Camp robbery?" Lotte, who was sitting in the military camp, heard the shouting and killing sound from outside, and chuckled disdainfully: "It's all Le Mou's remaining tricks!" ”

……

Reading more is not a bad thing, although reading is a dead book, but as long as you learn to live and learn to use it, throughout the four books and five classics, the four books talk about the sage truth, as for the five classics, I have to say "Spring and Autumn", "Shangshu" two classics.

Because of the ideological rigidity and shame brought to China by the pigtail dynasty, it became fashionable to completely westernize Chinese education and despise Chinese culture, which was regarded as feudal, decadent and backward. In fact, "Spring and Autumn" is a history book, and in the Song Dynasty, because the word "Spring and Autumn" was too brief, it was often published together with "Zuo Chuan", "Ram Biography" and "Gu Liang Biography"; The Book of Shang also records the dialogue between kings and ministers in ancient times.

In ancient times, the examination of the Four Books and Five Classics in the imperial examination was equivalent to the examination of the current ideology, morality, language, and history, as well as the objective test questions and subjective test questions of the essay that were equivalent to the administrative vocational ability test of civil servants in later generations. In the final analysis, the ancient imperial examination was to test a person's comprehensive ability.

Poetry was the ancient equivalent of the lyrics of a popular song. No matter how well Li Bai and Du Fu's poems are written, they are just a few more lyrics for the kabuki, why Tang Xuanzong only recruited Li Bai as a lyricist and did not reuse it, in addition to having something to do with Li Bai's scholarly spirit, it is also related to his political ability.

As for the later generations who say that Huaicai is not met, it is just a fake Qing Gao Gufang who is handsome and rotten and sour and vinegar, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, which is not a good chapter written, which is not a person who is in a high position and has outstanding morality and politics, and people are people who integrate talent and political ability.

There is a talent for poetry and not necessarily a talent for governing the world, so it is not a good work to write lyrically, and writing two poems is a qualified official,; In Huaxia now, who has ever seen someone who was transferred to be an official because he wrote lyrics and essays.

The art of war is a book read by generals, marching and fighting and arranging troops, including selecting the garrison to set up camp, and the words of the white point are called specialization, and the "Book of Shang" and "Spring and Autumn" are records of a series of historical facts from finance to military diplomacy in the past dynasties, so the vision of being a political officer should be much wider than that of military generals.

Two lives as a person, and learned the four books and five classics, Lotte is also considered to be through the ancient and modern, the vision is beyond the reach of the Song people, to prevent all possible situations, will happen before.

Fang La and the many generals and generals under his command, several of whom were scholars, and they were not at the same level as the court officials in terms of political ability, strategic vision, and military leadership ability. The previous victories were all based on the surprise of the imperial court.

Moreover, the soldiers of the righteous army are at the level of training, and the generals of the righteous army have a few ways to use soldiers, but they are just relying on the courage of blood and blood, and they cannot be compared with the division of a hundred battles.

To put it more clearly, this is the realm. Tempting, who has ever seen a primary school student get a college student.

……

Not to mention that the righteous army gathered the remnants of the defeated army and returned to the city, all the soldiers in the Song military camp were happy and happy, worthy of leading the troops to destroy the Western Xia Le Hou Ye, not to say that it was the Western Army that led the commander of a hundred battles, and it was to bring himself these people who had not been on the battlefield to Liangzhejiang for the first time was three battles and three victories, and it was just around the corner to destroy the chaotic army and return to the dynasty, so I admired Lotte more and more.

A group of officers and soldiers from Taipingzhou, Jiangning, and Runzhou saw Lotte's battle deeds, and the generals also admired it very much, and they were even more respectful to Lotte.

At the end of the day, a messenger walked quickly to the military tent and said, "Report ......"

"Master Hou just fell asleep!" Yang Zhi, who was guarding in front of the account, whispered.

The postman Shi Li whispered: "The gold medal of the imperial court is urgent, and it is said that there is an edict written by His Majesty in it. ”

Yang Zhi knew that there was no delay, so he was busy entering the big tent to wake up Lotte.

Lotte opened the tin seal, and sure enough, he saw that there was an edict from Huizong Zhao Ji inside, during which he praised his two battles and two victories, and then reprimanded Lotte, one is Lotte's edict, saying that Zhao Ji is guilty of himself, and the other is because Lotte is rude to the history of the prison army, but it does not mention how to deal with Lotte harshly, after all, Zhao Ji is not a fool, and he is now in turmoil in the southeast, and he is counting on Lotte.

Immediately Zhao Ji mentioned that he sent Tong Guan to dispatch 100,000 Northwest Forbidden Army from Western Xia to Liangzhejiang to reinforce Lotte, after all, Lotte faced Fang La, who had millions of soldiers under his command.

In this regard, Lotte couldn't help but sneer, although it is February now, but in the bitter cold places in the northwest such as Western Xia, it is still covered by wind and snow, and it is not so easy to gather the Northwest Forbidden Army stationed in Western Xia to open the pass, and whether Chage, who retreated to the Uighurs, will take advantage of the retreat of the Song army to come back, it is a matter for the imperial court to consider.

In fact, Tong Guan didn't want to come to Liangzhejiang to meet with Lotte and extinguish the Xixia Yiling, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was Lotte who robbed Tong Guan of the military command and made a world-beating achievement, which made Tong Guan, who used to look down on the military officials, put an old face of Tong Guan, who had to use the rebellion in the Western Xia as an excuse to stay in the Western Xia, so as not to return to Biandu to be embarrassed, and even the original privy official position was not taken over.

In the end, Zhao Ji mentioned another point, asking Lotte to recruit Fang La.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty by Zhao Kuanyin, because of serious land annexation, all kinds of uprisings of all sizes have been filled with two Song Dynasty and three hundred years, and the imperial court has several ways to deal with these large and small uprisings.

An uprising of thousands of people like Song Jiang has been appeased, not to mention a super-large peasant uprising of millions of people like Fang La, I have to confirm a sentence, everyone who does something is capable.

"Surrender Fang La?" Lotte couldn't help but sneer, this Emperor Huizong seems to have really responded to the comments of his descendants, it is appropriate to be an artist, this ability to be the Son of Heaven is really unqualified, and even a little political naivety.

Fang La's twenty-five years from being the head of the Ming Sect to the present twenty-five years is to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty and ascend the throne to prepare for the emperor, and now there are millions of soldiers under his command, how can he surrender.

In any case, the edict of the Son of Heaven must still be carried out.

Send someone to recruit Fang La? Thinking of the two soldiers who were caught by Fang Qifo and hung in the air and lit the sky lantern, Lotte immediately shook his head, if he sent someone to Hangzhou, I am afraid that the person sent will end up in a more miserable end.

In the end, Lotte had to use the old method and send archers to shoot the letter of appeasement into the city of Hangzhou.

Soon, the Song military camp tent was occupied by a book shot by Fang Lajun, and the letter clearly stated that Fang La refused to be appeased by the imperial court.

Fang La's refusal of the imperial court to appease Ben was expected in Lotte, and then Lotte wrote a letter determined to capture Hangzhou, and sealed Fang La's letter of refusing the imperial court's appeasement and handed it over to the post guard, and quickly handed it to Biandu.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: "Ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it twice." ”

100,000 against 80,000, the strength of the army has an advantage, but it is far from the advantage of siege, the combat strength of the 50,000 elite forbidden army and the Liangshan soldiers under the command of Song Jiang is acceptable, as for the combat power of these forbidden troops and box soldiers in Jiangnan, Lotte does not have any hope, and even the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is not the righteous army.

Although the quality of the individual soldiers of the righteous army is not daring, but the morale and courage are still higher than that of the official army, it seems that Xiuzhou and Huzhou Xiang troops can still defend the city, and the city wall of Hangzhou is tall and strong, and it is not a problem for the 80,000 righteous army to defend the city.

Even if more than half of the 100,000 troops under his command suffered casualties, they would not be helpless about Hangzhou City.

Hangzhou is not only tall and strong city wall, in the north and east of the city are wide moats as a barrier, and the south of Hangzhou is the Phoenix Mountain, can not be arranged, the west of Hangzhou is the West Lake.

Therefore, due to the danger of Phoenix Mountain and the moat as obstacles, when Fang La attacked Hangzhou City, the main attack point was placed at Yongjinmen by the West Lake.

The capture of Hangzhou is obviously not as easy as imagined. Even in Lotte's eyes, it was more difficult to attack Xingqing Mansion when attacking Hangzhou, after all, Xingqing Mansion had many ordinary people, and they were all of different races.

Besides, it's all Fang La's righteous army, and Lotte may not be able to kill him.

The dilemma for Lotte is, how to fight this battle?

Looking at the map of Hangzhou City, Lotte spent an afternoon.

……

Even after losing the battle and refusing the court's recruitment, Fang La's mood was very bad at the moment, thinking that the imperial army was stationed outside Hangzhou, and the order to transfer troops could not be transmitted to Qiantang Jiangnan, and he couldn't even eat.

Not only Fang La, but also the officials and generals of the army also looked solemn, and finally realized that this Le Hou Ye, who had destroyed Western Xia, was different from those officials, and he was by no means an ordinary person.

"Report ......"

When a group of people were discussing in the lobby of the Holy Prince's Mansion, a lieutenant entered the hall and said: "Holy Prince, the imperial court officials and troops are camped in the east, southeast, northwest, and north outside Hangzhou, forming a situation of encirclement against me. ”
