However, it was said that Fang La led the southern army to line up with Tong Guan to face the circle, and was about to send Fang to fight in an outstanding formation, but he didn't want the officers and troops to rush up, and the chaotic battle and conflict came, and everyone was competing for the first, on the other hand, Fang La's southern army had already lost its courage. Seeing that the Song army was rushing towards him, Fang Jie first protected Fang La and left, seeing Fang La running, the southern army was in chaos, and Tong Guan waved his rank and tail to chase and kill.

This period of killing the southern army was scattered, but fortunately, Lou Minzhong led the army behind the palace and desperately blocked the Song army, so that Fang Lafang had to get out. After escaping for more than 30 miles, Fang La and the others only gained a firm foothold, but at this time, there was a Pegasus report, and only Pegasus reported: "He Conglong, the teacher of the Imperial Forest Capital, the governor of the military horse, went to the enemy Song army on Shezhou Road, and was defeated by the Song soldier Zongze, and He Conglong died." The army and horses have dispersed, and the Song soldiers have been killed behind the mountain. ”

Fang La was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly passed on the holy decree, so he taught to collect the army and protect the inside. At that moment, Fang Jie escorted Fang La first, Lou Minzhong held his position, and the southern army packed up the remnants and retreated to Danei, Qingxi County. Fang La's royal car, back to the border of Qingxi Prefecture, only to hear the big inner city, shouting in the sky, full of fire, soldiers and horses, thinking that it was the Song army to make a fire, in Qingxi City. Fang La didn't know that this fire was put by his good horse Yue Fei and his cronies Yan Qing and Li Kui leading the Jiangnan White Lotus Sect.

When Fang La saw it, he drove the royal forest army horses to save the city and entered the city to fight. Tong Guan's army and horses then arrived, saw the southern soldiers retreating, and then pursued and killed. rushed to Qingxi, saw the fire in the city, although for some reason, but knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and urgently ordered the generals to recruit military horses and kill the generals separately.

At this time, Zong Ze's military horse also crossed the mountain, and he responded twice, but he was so angry. Song soldiers on all sides, attacking Qingxi Da Nei. Tong Guan's Bi Sheng and other generals, in all directions, killed the generals, each went to search for the southern army, and broke the Qingxi City. Fang La was escorted by Fang Jie and Lou Minzhong, and was escorted to the source cave.

Tong Guan led the army to arrive, the battle in Qingxi had been settled, and after meeting Zongze's army and horses, they all entered Qingxi County. The generals entered the Fangla Palace, packed up the forbidden weapons, gold and silver treasures, searched the inner treasury, set fire to the palace, burned all the palaces inside and outside Fangla, and searched the treasury for money and grain. The money and jewelry obtained are naturally two and one plus five, half of which is paid to the imperial court, and half is divided privately by Tong Guan's army generals.

Tong Guan met with Zong Ze and other military horses, stationed in Qingxi County, gathered all the generals, and all came to ask for merit and reward. The generals captured the ninety-two puppet officials of the Southern Kingdom and asked for merit, and the reward was over, but the whereabouts of Fang La, Fang Jie, Lou Min and others were not seen. On the one hand, he published an example, appeased the people, and sent all the puppet officials who were captured alive to Zhang Zhaojun, and beheaded them to show the public.

After everything was arranged, when Tong Guan asked why the Qingxi fire was caused, Zong Ze smiled and said: "This is the credit of the deputy general under the old man's command, he was in the Fangla army as an internal response, and when he saw the arrival of the heavenly soldiers, he set fire to respond." Tong Guan sighed and looked overjoyed: "Who is it?" You can report your name, and this privy councillor will be rewarded. Zong Ze said: "It's Yue Fei and Niu Gao." ”

When Tong Guan heard that it was Yue Fei, he frowned, and Bi Sheng next to him whispered: "It is the junior brother of Yizhangqing on Shandong Road, who told the privy before. Tong Guan snorted heavily: "How could it be him, where is he now?" Zong Ze secretly screamed in his heart, it seems that Tong Guan is still holding a grudge against Yizhangqing, hating the house and Wu, Yue Fei is still not welcomed, and hurriedly said: "Just because Fang La led the army to retreat to the Gangyuan Cave, Yue Fei and the two also followed, and later responded to the army, and then broke Fang La, or he could capture Fang La." ”

Tong Guan snorted coldly and said: "Teach him to come back, Fang La's retreat to help the source cave is already a turtle in the urn, whether he lives or dies, he can get it, and he doesn't have to take risks there." Zong Ze sighed, listening to Tong Guan's words, he was afraid that Fang Lazhen would be captured by Yue Fei and rob the Western Army. At that moment, Zong Ze hurriedly said: "Privy Mingjian, that Fang La is cunning, I am afraid that he can't do anything when he sees things, so he pretends to be a common person and flees on the path. Or teach Yue Fei to lie beside him, if he sees that he can't do anything, he can have a countermeasure. ”

After Tong Guan pondered for a while, he didn't dare to take the risk of Fang La's escape, if Fang La's escape, and then resurrected in other places, Tong Guan spent countless money and food in the past three years, but in the end he couldn't do all the work, Emperor Daojun would definitely be extremely angry, and after weighing the severity, he said slowly: "That's fine, just teach him to continue to lie around Fang La." ”

Zong Ze breathed a sigh of relief and responded. At that moment, Tong Guan ordered all the troops and horses to prepare to stop, and the next day he sent troops to help Yuandong.

Let's say that Fang La had to be escorted by Fang Jie and Lou Minzhong, and walked to the entrance of Bangyuan Cave, but halfway through, he had to be caught by Ma Keyin, Niu Gao, Yan Qing, and Li Kui. Fang La asked about Qingxi, Ke Yin is Yue Fei hurriedly said: "It's just that there is a Song army in the city, set fire, and the Song army takes advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and we can only keep the Ouchi royal clan here." When Fang La heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Ouchi's family was still there, and Princess Jinzhi and Fang La's family members were all safe. After a few words of encouragement, Fang La did not suspect his colt at all.

Back to Bangyuan Cave, this is the main altar of Zoroastrianism in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also the place where Fang La raised his troops, and the soldiers and civilians inside and outside will guard this place like an iron bucket. The next day, Tong Guan and Zong Ze surrounded the Gangyuan Cave with the military horse Zhouhui, but there was no way to enter, and a lot of grain and grass were hoarded in the cave, and it was difficult to break it for a while.

But he said that Fang La was helping Yuandong, and although he refused to stop Song Jun, he couldn't go out, like sitting on pins and needles. The two armies have been trapped for several days, and Fang La was depressed, when he suddenly saw His Royal Highness a minister in brocade clothes, prostrating himself under His Royal Highness of the Golden Order, and playing: "My king, although the minister is not talented, he has received the grace of the Lord and has no retribution. With the art of war learned in the past, the martial arts of Yun on weekdays, six Tao and three strategies have been heard, and seven vertical and seven captures have been practiced. I am willing to borrow a military horse from the Lord to retreat the Song soldiers and rejuvenate the country. What is the Unknown Divine Will? ”

Fang La was overjoyed to see it, and Fang La's palace started to play, and it was Ke Yin, the lord of the East Bed Horse, who was willing to lead the troops out of the cave to fight. Fang La saw the performance, and was overjoyed, so he passed on the edict, and did his best to kill the soldiers and horses in the cave, and taught the general to lead the troops out of the cave and hold on to Song Jiang. Ke Luma led the southern soldiers at the moment, brought the soldiers and horses of the southern army, and put on the horses to go out of the division. Fang La gave his golden armor and brocade robe to his horse, and then chose a good horse and told him to fight. That Ke Horse and the emperor's nephew Fang Jie, led 10,000 soldiers to protect the army in the cave, and more than 20 generals drove to the entrance of the Gangyuan Cave, forming a formation, not knowing how to win or lose, and the seer was majestic.

It turned out that after the Song army surrounded Bangyuan Cave, Fang Jie and Lou Minzhong knew that the limit was approaching, but at this time, Yan Qing had to pass on the flying pigeon of the White Lotus Sect in Yuezhou, saying that Shi Bao's soldiers and horses were defeated by Han Shizhong under the city of Yuezhou, and there was not one of the ten military horses, and Shi Bao led the remnants of the army to flee and disappeared. After seeing this letter, Fang Jie and Lou Minzhong discussed with Yue Fei and others.

Lou Minzhong said: "Now that Shi Bao is also defeated and there is no hope for foreign aid, will our Zoroastrian flame be extinguished for more than 100 years?" After saying that, he looked at Fang Jie, this Fang Jie is Fang Lanei's nephew, after hearing this, he frowned and said, "Why don't you protect Your Majesty and fight your way out of the encirclement?" ”

Fang Jie is a martial artist, Lou Minzhong had asked him to speak together, and he advocated Shi Bao's division of troops, but he didn't see that this was a poisonous plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, let alone Lou Min's plan at the head of the center. Lou Minzhong laughed secretly when he heard it, and then sighed and said: "I'm afraid that the lord doesn't want to break through, and he plans to defend the Bangyuan Cave and defeat the Song army." ”

Fang Jie sneered: "Now tens of thousands of horses are here, the area is small, and they can't be moved, although the grain and grass can still support two or three months, but once the grain and grass are exhausted, how can they stay for a long time?" So I went to persuade my uncle to go elsewhere. Lou Minzhong pretended to sigh and said, "Bangyuan Cave is the place where the Lord is prosperous, and it is also the place where his generation of sect leaders protect the holy fire, how can he give up?" ”

It turned out that Fang La refused to let the city go, and there was a big reason that this Qingxi Gang Source Cave was the main altar of Zoroastrian worship in the south of the Yangtze River, since the Zoroastrian sect attracted the holy fire here more than 20 years ago, Fang La's preaching arose here, and the holy flame has never been extinguished. This is also one of the disadvantages of ****, Fang La didn't dare to give up helping Yuandong lightly.

Hearing this, Fang Jie sat down in a gloomy manner, hugged his head and said, "Can we only stay here and die together?" Lou Minzhong smiled faintly and said: "The blazing holy fire, burning my remnants, what joy is life, and why is it painful to die?" Have mercy on the world, and there are many sorrows. Since the establishment of my Zoroastrianism in the Tang Dynasty, over the past few hundred years, I don't know how many sect leaders have been changed, and I don't know how many main altars have been changed, but I have not let this holy flame be cut off, and this trip is not possible. Although we are the lord's subordinates, we are Zoroastrians, and we have the responsibility of apologetic. ”

Fang Jie said: "I don't know what the prime minister thinks? Lou Minzhong said: "Fang Tianding, the son of the sect leader, and Princess Jinzhi are in the cave, we should protect them, protect the holy fire, and fight their way out of the encirclement. As long as we get out of the encirclement and go to Shandong Road, we can continue the Zoroastrian flame. ”

Fang Jie hesitated: "What about the uncle?" Lou Minzhong pretended to cry and said: "I don't know how many sect leaders have been martyred in the past, and now that sect leader Fang refuses to leave here, he must have already made up his mind to be martyred. ”

Hearing this, Fang Jie shook his head and said, "No, my uncle treats me well, he is still here, I can't help others, even Fang Tianding can't." Lou Minzhong and Yue Fei, who had been silent, glanced at each other, Yue Fei said: "Why don't I ask for a battle tomorrow and fight with the Song army again, if we win, it will be good to cheer up the army, if we are defeated, how about asking Prime Minister Lou to persuade the Lord to break through again?" ”

Fang Jie's bravery, how did he know that this was Lou Minzhong and Yue Fei's poisonous plan, and he responded immediately. So the two asked for battle the next day, and Fang La taught the two to lead more than 10,000 troops and horses to fight the Song army, but Lou Minzhong held the power of the inner army, and replaced both the inside and outside with his own henchmen and generals.
