Chapter 594 Jiaxing Yanyu Building

Niu Gao frowned, stretched out his hand to take the steel shovel, and then hit the horse and rushed over, the steel shovel swept by, and Li Tianrun's body fell straight down, without a sound. This is the way Li Tianrun wants to die, he is an iron-blooded general, so even if he dies, he must die at the hands of the enemy. All the great men in this world have one characteristic, no matter what the situation, they dare to meet it, they never consider suicide, because those who commit suicide are cowards.

Looking at Li Tianrun's corpse, he swept over the pieces of dead corpses, "All the dead, don't cut off the heads, Li Tianrun and Liu Yun will be buried in a thick way!" ”

"Whoa!"

Although he won, Niu Gao didn't feel a little excited, and he wanted to come to His Highness the same. No matter how beautiful the victory is, it is the sons of the Great Song Dynasty who are killed after all, they are against the current imperial court, not the King of Qin, they could have served His Royal Highness, so that the Dingguo army can add tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, and they can also gallop to the north and compete with the Khitan and Western Xia. Niu Gao doesn't like to kill Da Song Erlang, but the situation is like this, His Royal Highness needs a stable Da Song, so he can only temporarily accept his benevolent heart. The great husband walks in the world, and he should be bold and decisive.

On the fourth day of September in the fourth year of Xuanhe, Fang La made Shi Bao and Li Tianrun gather under the city of Wujiang, with a total of more than 72,000 soldiers and horses. On the same day, Wujiang City was broken, Li Tianrun and others led troops to pour into the county, I thought that I could capture Wujiang in one fell swoop, capture and kill Zhao Yougong, who had wanted to suddenly change and protrude, Shi Bao rebelled, Niu Gao led the troops to arrive, since then the shape shì reversed, a battle from Wujiang to Wuxingtang, stretching for twenty miles of land, Li Tianrun's department left 46,000 corpses, the rest of nearly 30,000 surrendered, and nearly 1,000 people are missing.

When the battle of Wuxingtang spread everywhere, the people of Suzhou were boiling, because the victory of the Dingguo army also indicated that the thieves could no longer cause trouble to Suzhou. Tong Guan was bitter, he didn't know why the Dingguo Army was so capable of fighting, only 40,000 people, and Li Tianrun and Shi Bao's troops didn't have the strength to fight back. When the news reached Lin'an, Hangzhou, Fang La, who was still reading books in the palace to relieve his boredom, was so shocked that his face turned pale, and he didn't know that the book in his hand fell into the lake. How Lin'an reacted, I don't mention it, but along the Songjiang River, it is a sudden change in the wind and clouds.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, the Dingguo army, together with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Ning Guoxiao's department, rested for a night, and the fifth day of the ninth month of the first month of Songjiang to kill at the beginning of the Songjiang River. Subsequently, the 30,000-strong army under the command of Niu Gao and Xiao Yue divided into two routes, Niu Gao led his troops to capture Qinglong Town, and Xiao Yue led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses out of Biting County, turning to the southeast to recover most of the salt fields along the coast.

Dingguo army suddenly broke into Xiuzhou from Songjiang, and did not even give Fang Qifo time to breathe, on the sixth day of the ninth month, it took only one day, Xiao Yue led the crowd from Qingdun Salt Field to Haiyan Town, and in the evening of the same day, Niu Gao led more than 20,000 troops to Weitang, and the two soldiers and horses surrounded Xiuzhou City, seeing that Xiuzhou City was in danger. At the same time, Yang Zaixing and Hu Yanzhuo led the cavalry around Xiuzhou and approached Jiaxing in the west of Xiuzhou City. Now there are only less than 20,000 remnants of Fang Qifo in Xiuzhou City, and it is tantamount to whimsical to resist the onslaught of more than 30,000 Dingguo soldiers, not to mention the fiasco of Wu Xingtang, 70,000 troops buried in the hands of the Dingguo Army, and the salt fields and Qinglong Town, Biting County have also lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, adding up to more than 80,000 brothers under the repeated battles, if the soldiers and horses in Xiuzhou City are buried again, then the more than 100,000 troops invested in Xiuzhou and Suzhou will all be buried.

Fang Qifo has been hesitating whether to abandon Xiuzhou City, Qinglong Town is not guaranteed, the salt fields in the south are also lost, and even Haiyan Town has fallen into the hands of the Dingguo Army, and the soldiers have no heart to fight, and the last choice is to withdraw to Hangzhou as soon as possible to rest. But so far, before the sect leader complied with the order, Fang Qifo didn't dare to give an order immediately. At night, I just ate something hastily and was ready to take a nap, but as soon as I lay down, there was a knock on the door.

"General Fang, the big thing is not good, there was a brother who reported half an hour ago, Yang Zaixing and Hu Yanzhuo led the troops to Shanqing, and the target was directly aimed at Jiaxing!"

Hearing the return, Fang Qifo stood up suddenly, and the tiredness on his body was also swept away, Shanqing Town? Isn't it just north of Jiaxing County? The cavalry of the Dingguo Army arrived in Shanqing, and it was too simple to raid Jiaxing County, at this time there were only more than 3,000 people stationed in Jiaxing County, could they stop the cavalry of the Dingguo Army like a wolf and a tiger? Fang Qifo knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't stop it, maybe the Dingguo Army only needed one charge to break through the soft defense line north of Jiaxing. Jiaxing will be lost, so what should I do? Once Jiaxing falls into the hands of the Dingguo Army, the Seven Buddhas of the other side and the nearly 20,000 children of Xiuzhou City will face the dilemma of being surrounded on all sides. After a while, Fang Qifo made a decision, "Quickly send an order, ordering Zhang Wei and Shen Ze to lead the troops to withdraw from Xiuzhou, and the army will go west and retreat from the south of Jiaxing to Haining County, Hangzhou." ”

Fang Qifo made the most correct decision at the moment, he chose to withdraw from Xiuzhou, not giving the national army a chance to go head-to-head. With a series of orders issued, the already demoralized Xiuzhou garrisons withdrew from the West Gate one after another, and Niu Gao and Xiao Yue did not get the military report that Yang Zaixing had defeated Jiaxing, and Xiao Yue's troops were tired from fighting continuously for a day, so they fled westward from the Fang Qifo Department. On the sixth day of September, Yang Zaixing led the cavalry to raid Jiaxing, because Jiaxing is not like other cities, there is no city wall on the entire back, so the cavalry charged, the loose thieves rushed to pieces, and Jiaxing guard Zhang Tao died directly under Yang Zaixing's gun.

Yang Zaixing attacked Jiaxing, and Fang Qifo did not dare to rescue Jiaxing, led the army to speed up the pace from the south of Jiaxing through the past, to the seventh day of the first month of September, the Dingguo army fully occupied Jiaxing County, and Niu Gao also took Xiuzhou City. As for Fang Qifo, he fled back to Haining in a dismal manner. Fang Qifo was somewhat worried, and when he learned that the military order given to him by Fang La was also for him to withdraw to Hangzhou to preserve his strength, he breathed a long sigh of relief. At this time, Fang Qifo was still very worried, because Haining was too close to Jiaxing and Haiyan Town, and the Dingguo army in Haiyan Town was tired, but Yang Zaixing's cavalry was full of morale, and from Jiaxing to Haining, it was conducive to cavalry mobility. I'm sorry, but the Dingguo Army wants to fight like this in my dreams.

Lin'an, Fang La convened the leaders to discuss major matters urgently, and there was no problem with discarding Xiuzhou for Fang La, but the problem was that Wu Xingtang's damage in the first battle was too strict, and the generals Li Tianrun, Liu Yun, Xun Zheng, Xie Fu, and Changsheng were killed, and nearly 90,000 troops died or surrendered. Now it's not how to take revenge, but how to hold Hangzhou. Nearly 90,000 troops were lost, Xiuzhou and Huzhou were empty, Huzhou Songjiang 40,000 troops gathered in Wukang and Deqing, and it was possible to attack Chang'an Town at any time, the Dingguo army had just won a big victory, and the morale was booming, and it was possible to go out of Jiaxing at any time to attack Haining and Yanguan Town, and the west of Hangzhou was not stable, and now Xin Xingzong is still leading people to toss near Changhua County. If you can't attack it, it depends on how you defend it.

Fang La was somewhat puzzled, he had been raising troops for many years, and the shape was getting better and better, why did Zhao Yougong immediately reverse it as soon as he came, is it really as rumored, Zhao Yougong is the god of war in the world, and he can't resist it?

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Wu Xingtang has been defeated and suffered too much damage, Fang Qifo has abandoned Xiuzhou City, and the imperial court is menacing, how should we deal with it?"

After asking, Fang Fei came out and said, "Sect Master, now the soldiers and horses have suffered too heavy losses and low morale, so it is really not suitable to fight hard with officers and soldiers. When it is important to keep it, in addition, the ministers have heard that the relationship between Song Jiang, Zhao Yougong, and Tong Guan is delicate, and we can make a big fuss about it. Therefore, the subordinates can ask Deng Yuanjue to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Yanguan Town, and defend the eastern part of Hangzhou with Fang Qifo, and transfer General Gao Yu to make a big show near Chang'an Town to be a suspicious soldier, so that Song Jiang does not dare to go south, and the sect leader can mobilize heavy troops to defeat the Changhua Xinxingzong first. ”

Fang La thought carefully about what Fang Fei said, and then his eyes lit up, that Song Jiang was dispatched by Tong Guan with his reputation, but in fact he was controlled by Gao Yu of the Taiwei Mansion, in a way, Song Jiang made meritorious contributions, most of the credit went to Gao Yu, and a small part went to Song Jiang, but Tong Guan, the nominal coach, had little credit. Therefore, since the beginning of the war, Tong Guan has put Song Jiang's troops elsewhere, so it is also to prevent Song Jiang from attacking, this time Xin Xingzong led his troops to attack Changhua and was blocked, but Tong Guan refused to ask Song Jiang for help, which shows how deep the prejudice between the two sides is. As for Zhao Yougong and Song Jiang, there is no need to mention it, both of them can't wait for the other party to die first. In Chang'an Town, Song Jiang did not dare to go south, and defeated Xin Xingzong, so Tong Guan would inevitably spread the anger of defeat on Song Jiang's head, so that the contradictions between the two sides intensified, and the hope of repelling the officers and soldiers was greater.

Of course, the most critical point of this plan is still in Yanguan Town, this Yanguan Town is the official salt of Hangzhou, once lost, Hangzhou will not be guaranteed, if Deng Yuanjue and Fang Qifo can block the Dingguo Army, then they can repel Changhua Xinxingzong, but if they can't stop it, then this plan is meaningless.

"Okay, just Mr. Fang's!" Fang La nodded and gave some orders, Deng Yuanjue led the troops from Hangzhou to Yanguan Town, and Gao Yu also led the troops to Chang'an Town on the same day, and Wang Yin led 20,000 troops to Nanxi Town quietly, so far Fang Fei's plan was completely launched.

Fang La responded in many ways, but at this time, Zhao Yougong did not put too much thought in Hangzhou, a big battle, tired, the army wanted to rest, and Zhao Yougong also needed to relax. In early September, the Ninth Double Ninth Festival, the autumn wind continues, the most suitable to climb high and look far, on this day, Zhao Yougong dressed in a green robe, climbed the Jiaxing Yanyu Building.

Upstairs in the smoke and rain, the window ridge is brown column, the green trees are shaded, looking down at the South Lake, the water and sky are colorful, and the scenery is beautiful. Thinking of the poem of Du Mu in the previous dynasty, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, ten years of smoke and rain, ten years of travel, smoke and rain outside the smoke and rain building. I haven't seen the smoke and rain building, and I never know how many spring and autumn feelings this sentence contains, so the four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings in the smoke and rain are not the same meaning? Autumn is a sentimental season, and climbing the smoke and rain building should be a different feeling, enjoying the scenery, looking at Chongyang, and remembering the ancestral scenery.

Wood Lady has always had no artistic cells, walking the north and south of the river, and has never been nostalgic for the scenery, but today she was fascinated by the scenery outside the rainy building, "It's so beautiful here, if only I could live here for the rest of my life." ”

"Okay, how about Ming'er let someone build you a hut on the island, and you will live there for a hundred years?"

"you? You thief has always been a thief, a hundred years? It's been too long" Mu Wanqing was intoxicated with the scenery, but her hand didn't forget to stroke His Royal Highness Zhao's waist, Ah Zhu didn't know where he went, disappeared for a while, and walked up with a tray, "Your Highness, isn't it a pity to climb the Yanyu Building and not taste the Longjing after the rain?" ”

Zhao Yougong smiled helplessly, just him and the wooden woman, are they the kind of people who taste tea, no matter how good the tea is, it is also a horn peony, and it has no taste. Zhao Yougong didn't understand tea, but Qin Hongmian and Wang Yuyan sat at the table and watched Azhu make tea carefully.

Zhao Yougong was very puzzled, Qin Hongmian, the tigress, also understands tea?

The next thing made Zhao Yougong blush, Qin Hongmian seemed to really understand tea, she took a sip and slowly tasted it, her expression was flat, and she didn't seem to be the same person as the evil stars in the past. R1152
