Zhu Biao didn't want to discuss this issue any further, so as not to increase the enemy's morale and destroy his own prestige, and asked: "Is there still anyone among the thieves who has been captured?" ”

"Yes. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What's your name?"

"There is Li Tianrun's brother Li Tianyou, and there are some names that I can't remember clearly, but there are a total of eight enemy generals who were captured."

Zhu Biao asked, "How many military horses have been captured on the other side?" ”

"When the younger brother came, he was counting, and it should probably be around 20,000 people."

"What are the military advisors going to do with these people?"

Some brothers said that they were afraid that these people would gather again to rebel, and advocated that they all be beheaded. The military advisor disagreed, and he asked the younger brother to ask what to do? ”

Zhu Biao nodded, expressed his approval, and said: "You go back and tell the military advisor, don't kill people indiscriminately, killing too many people is easy to cause the people of Jiangnan to hate our army, Jiangnan will be the foundation of our army in the future, and the city occupied by our army must be guarded by my brother, and the court must not let the court send people to set foot in it." For these captured thieves and soldiers, I will strive to persuade them to submit to our Liangshan use. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "You also have to tell the military advisor, don't just focus on the battle, once the beaten city is stable, immediately implement the land system in the Liangshan Special Zone, anyway, the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have been killed by Fang La, let's divide the land, it is logical." Only in this way can the people of Jiangnan be appeased and that they will not rebel against thieves. ”

"When I came, the military advisor also had this meaning."

Lu Zhishen asked Zhu Biao: "The owner of the village, once Fang La learns that Hangzhou is occupied by our army, it is very likely that he will attack Pukou with all his might, and our army will have to prepare early. ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Senior brother is really rough and detailed-" said to Dai Zong: "Dean Dai, bother you to work harder, you rest in the county government for one night, and go back to Hangzhou early tomorrow morning, and order the military division to take advantage of the Fangla army to transfer troops in time, and attack to the south or north, and all military affairs on the battlefield will be decided by him on the spot, and do not ask for instructions on everything, so as not to delay the fighters, but no matter what city can not be stormed, remember not to attack one or two cities and cause heavy casualties to our army. ”

"Yes!"

Suddenly, Zhu Biao asked Lu Zhishen, "Senior brother, do you think we can find a time to talk to Fang La now?" ”

"Talk to Fang La? Now? Will Fang La talk to us? ”

"I estimate that his important town of Hangzhou was suddenly captured by our army, although she also occupied Jinling, but his territory was divided into two by our army, internal and external instability, for a while his strength must be insufficient, if our army now takes the initiative to negotiate with them, he must want to use this opportunity to buy himself a period of time, so that he can redeploy troops, so, I think it is an excellent opportunity to negotiate with him now."

Lu Zhi asked puzzledly: "Since the owner of the village knows that Fang La will take advantage of this opportunity, why should he give him this opportunity?" ”

Zhu Biao smiled: "First, I also want to hold him back, if Liangshan's reinforcements don't arrive, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Pukou City to resist their attack; Second, the news of my negotiation with Fang La this time may as well be disclosed to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can re-evaluate our Liangshan, and my Liangshan can be sold at the price; Third, the combat strength of Fang La's army should not be underestimated, and I also want to try to see if I can reach some kind of agreement with him so that our army can gain a foothold in Jiangnan-" Zhu Biao suddenly turned his head to Dai Zong and said: "Dean Dai, you tell the military advisor that no matter whether we are negotiating with Fang La or not, it will not affect his attack, he can fight how he wants, how he should fight or how he should fight, it is advisable to chase after the poor Kou bravely, don't give them a chance to breathe, but Qingxi City is not allowed to attack Yuandong." ”

Dai Zong said: "Little brother knows. ”

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he looked at everyone, Yue Fei said: "Fang La, this person is reckless, although he is in a disadvantageous situation at this time, if you want to negotiate with him, I am afraid it will be ......."

Zhu Biao listened to Yue Fei's words and felt that it made sense, but he still felt that he should talk to Fang La now, even if Fang La didn't talk about it, at least it would be beneficial for Liangshan to put some pressure on the imperial court: "Let's try it, it's not okay to blindly fight hard, if we use up all the ideas in our hands, then we will live to the end." ”

Yue Fei bowed his head and said to Zhu Biao: "The younger brother is willing to cross the river and go to Jinling to test Fang La." ”

Dividing line ********

When Fang La learned the news of the loss of Hangzhou, his first reaction was anger. But Fang La, who was furious, did not curse Zhu Biao for being despicable and treacherous, he asked the soldiers who came to report the military situation: "What was Fang Tianding doing when the Liangshan army attacked the city?" ”

The soldier replied, "It's just that the Liangshan bandits were killed suddenly, and our army is defenseless......

"Don't ****** nonsense, what Lao Tzu asked you was what Fang Tianding was doing when the Liangshan army attacked the city?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank a lot with Marshal Deng last night and is resting."

"Bastard!" When Fang La heard this, he was furious and asked Bao Daoyi: "Military advisor, you say, can Fang Tian's crime be beheaded to show the public, and order the three armies?" ”

Bao Daoyi didn't answer, looking thoughtful.

"Strategist, didn't you hear me asking you?"

Bao Daoyi said with a look of sudden realization: "Capital crime, capital crime, Fang Cai Weichen was thinking about the problem, I didn't hear His Majesty's question, it is really a capital crime, please ask Your Majesty to ask again." ”

Fang La has always respected and added to Bao Daoyi, and he endured his anger and repeated again: "Fang Tianding lost his master and lost his land, what should he be guilty of?" ”

Bao Daoyi asked rhetorically: "Does Your Majesty know what Fang Cai Weichen is thinking about?" ”

When Fang La heard Bao Daoyi's words, he couldn't help but feel even more angry in his heart: I was about to ask you about military affairs, but you said that you were thinking about other issues, but he had always respected Bao Daoyi, so he forcibly held back his anger and asked, "What is the military advisor thinking about?" ”

Bao Daoyi said eloquently: "Wei Chen is thinking about what the Liangshan thieves were doing when His Majesty was waving his army to attack Pukou? Are they planning to attack the back of our army, why didn't Weichen think of it at that time? So what is the crime of Weichen? ”

Fang La could hear that Bao Daoyi was warning himself that Liang Shanjun had attacked Hangzhou, and he didn't expect that he couldn't put all the blame on Fang Tianding. At the same time, he also saved face for himself, because Bao Daoyi did not directly accuse himself of negligence, why didn't he become aware of the conspiracy of the Liangshan Army as the head of the army? After Fang La heard Bao Daoyi's words, it was like an empowerment of cold water, he also calmed down, and no longer continued to ask about the guilt of losing Hangzhou, but bowed down to ask Bao Daoyi and said: "Military advisor, what should our army do in the current situation?" ”

Bao Daoyi said: "Weichen has two strategies, please choose them for Your Majesty." ”

Fang La looked at Bao Daoyi sharply and asked, "Those two strategies?" ”

Bao Daoyi stretched out a finger and said: "The first strategy, attack Pukou-" and stretched out the second finger: "The second strategy, give up Jinling, and the whole division will return to Hangzhou." ”

Fang La thought for a moment and said, "Can the military advisor explain the pros and cons of these two strategies more clearly?" ”

Bao Daoyi said: "Pukou is the gateway to the north of Jinling, if Your Majesty wants to gain a firm foothold in Jinling, you must capture Pukou, and furthermore, Zhu Biao, the leader of the Liangshan bandits, is in Pukou, and our army also has the intention of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to avenge the loss of Hangzhou by attacking Pukou." ”

"Please, the military advisor will explain another strategy in detail."

"Hangzhou is a strategic place for our army, and now Hangzhou is occupied by the enemy, in fact, our army has been divided into two parts, north and south, and we cannot respond to the rescue between each other, and recapture Hangzhou can allow our army to regain the opportunity and not be controlled by the enemy, but there will be absolutely no more than Hangzhou without blood, and Your Majesty must be prepared for this." Bao Daoyi hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that our army is divided, even if we want to mobilize troops north of Hangzhou, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it in three or five days, and the thief army will not give our army a chance to regroup, they will definitely take advantage of the victory." If you want to recapture Hangzhou, you have to use heavy troops, but now there are only more than 40,000 military horses in Jinling, and it is more than enough to attack Pukou. ”

"Then the military division means to attack Pukou?" Fang La could hear that Bao Daoyi was biased towards the first strategy.

"Yes, attack Pukou, attack as defense, advance as retreat."

"It's just that the main altar of my Great Ming Holy Sect and my family members are all in Qingxi City, once Qingxi City is lost, then the foundation of our army will be shaken."

"Your Majesty, who cares about family members and temporary courts who can win the world since ancient times? Jinling City was known as the dragon and tiger in ancient times, the emperor's house, when Sun Ce made a great cause with thousands of military horses, and there was one of the three parts of the world. Now Jinling City thinks that our army owns it, how can it be abandoned for the sake of his family? Bao Daoyi strongly persuaded him: "Those who become great businesses will gain and lose." ”

Fang La thought about it, took the case, and said: "Okay, then according to the will of the military division, the whole division will be crossed and attack Pukou!" ”
