Tong Guan is also a person who is used to playing tricks, and he pulled out the sword at his waist and said, "Do you recognize it?" ”

The eunuch looked at it, knelt on the ground in fright, and said, "It's the sword that the emperor gave him when he went on the expedition." ”

Tong Guan nodded and said, "Then you must know the effect of this sword, right?" ”

The eunuch saw Tong Guan staring at his neck, and couldn't help but shudder with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor's quasi-Lord Tong holds this sword to cut first and then play." ”

Tong Guan said in a deep voice: "You go back to the Ming Shengshang first, and I will take the army and horses on the hour." Do you still need me to say it again? ”

"The small ones are gone, and the little ones are gone."

The eunuch who announced the decree didn't care about the emperor's order, got up and ran out.

Tong Guan's henchman Wang Yu stepped forward and said, "Isn't my lord planning to defeat Muzhou and then return to the division?" ”

Tong Guan looked at all the generals behind him and said in a deep voice: "Now the situation is very good, the army has surrounded Muzhou on both sides, and Fang La can be exterminated in ten days." As you have seen, there are many Manichaean believers, and once the troops are withdrawn, Fang La will be able to regroup and steal Hangzhou and Shezhou again. The soldiers who were killed and wounded before were unjustly killed, so I decided to go all out and pacify Muzhou and kill Fang La and other thieves. ”

Wang Yu said worriedly: "What the Lord said is very true. It's just that if Tokyo loses, I'm afraid that we will destroy Fang La, and we won't be able to escape the punishment of the imperial court. ”

Tong Guan said with a smile: "Tokyo's city defense is designed to resist the attack of the Liao State, don't say that the Liangshan thieves are the thieves of the Liao State, that is, the Liao State will not be able to defeat Tokyo for a month." You just have to act according to the order, and the emperor will blame it, and I will bear it. ”

As he spoke, he drew the sword in a circle in the air before inserting it into its scabbard.

Everyone didn't want to test whether the sword was sharp or not, and they all said yes in unison.

Tong Guan immediately ordered Liu Yanqing, the commander of the capital, to attack Quzhou and Wuzhou in the south, and completely encircled Muzhou. Most of Liu Yanqing's Quzhou and Wuzhou rebels had withdrawn to Muzhou to protect Fangla, so he taught his son Liu Guangshi to lead the troops to attack Erzhou, so as to make war achievements.

Fang La also summoned hundreds of thousands of congregants in the nearby state capital to defend Muzhou.

Besides, Li Jun and Mu Hong worked hard all the way to Jiangnan. Tong Guan's army has just begun to encircle Muzhou, and there are still many places that have not been blocked.

As soon as the two entered Muzhou, they were stopped by a team of Fang Layi soldiers with red scarves on their heads and bronze mirrors on their chests.

One of the leaders saw that they were strong and armed, but they were not dressed as brothers, and exclaimed, "Who are you?" ”

Li Jun hugged his fists and said: "The two of us are the envoys of the Great Liang, and I have something to visit your holy father." ”

The leader thought for a moment and said, "Liangshan heroes? ”

Li Jun smiled and said, "Exactly, your Holy Father had an alliance with our King Liang before. ”

The rebels heard that they were allies. Only then did he put the knife and gun down.

One of the rebels couldn't help but ask, "How many cities have you conquered?" ”

Li Jun counted them and said, "When we came, we had eight state capitals. ”

"Eight?"

"What about bragging, at most, we only conquer the five prefectures of Muzhou, Shezhou, Hangzhou, Quzhou, and Wuzhou, and you can conquer eight state capitals?"

When the Jiangnan Rebels heard Li Jun say eight things, they couldn't help but be suspicious.

The rebel army led by him couldn't help but suspect Li Jun's identity again, and stared at Li Jun vigilantly and said: "I heard that Daliang rebelled on the first day of the first month, and now it will be two months to be full." And it has been more than four months since our uprising, and there are hundreds of thousands of rebels, how can you defeat more state capitals than us? ”

Li Jun saw this. Busy explained: "Although we have a short time to raise troops, and we don't have as many soldiers and horses as you, we are concentrating on attacking city by city. But you divide your armies and attack many states at the same time. We came all the way and heard that you still have soldiers and horses attacking Yuezhou and Taizhou. If you concentrate your forces. Perhaps a dozen state capitals have already been laid. ”

A rebel soldier nodded and said, "That's right, if the Holy Father leads us hundreds of thousands of people to attack the city, we will be able to conquer a city in one day, and we will not lose the battle in Xiuzhou, Yuezhou, and Taizhou." ”

"Shut up. You are doubting the decision of the Holy Father. ”

The leader glared at the righteous army who spoke, and turned to Li Jun: "The Holy Father is now in Muzhou City, and my duty is to guard here. Someone will take you to Muzhou before that. ”

Li Jun and Mu Hong walked all the way, and every few miles they could see a team of patrolling rebels, and finally found Pang Wanchun, a general under Fang La, who sent a team of soldiers and horses to Muzhou City.

At this time, the inside and outside of Muzhou City were already crowded with Manichaeans from all over the country, even if they were not Manichaeans, they were all wearing red scarves at this time, making a posture of vowing to live and die together with the righteous army.

The two were led directly to see Fang La.

I saw Fang La wearing a sky-high corner Ming gold head, wearing a collar of sun, moon and cloud shoulders and nine dragon embroidered robes, a gold-inlaid treasure-inlaid exquisite jade belt around his waist, and a pair of double-gold sewn Yungen Dynasty boots.

Although Fang La was dressed as an emperor, the two of them did not make a big salute, but just hugged their fists and said: "Liang Muhong and Li Jun have seen Emperor Yongle. ”

When the four kings met before, Fang La had already met Mu Hong.

Fang La said with a smile: "You two don't need to be polite, I heard that you have also rebelled in Jingdong, I think it is the time to employ people, why do the two leaders have time to come to my Jiangnan?" ”

The two of them had already thought of a rhetoric on the way, and Mu Hong immediately said: "My prince misses Princess Baihua, and specially asked the two of us to invite Princess Baihua to go north." ”

Rushing out of Tokyo that day, Fang La also knew the relationship between Fang Baihua and Chao Yong, and said with a smile: "I will invite Princess Baihua to come here, and you will tell her when the time comes." ”

As he spoke, he ordered one of the guards beside him to invite Princess Baihua.

While waiting, Fang La asked about the situation of Daliang, and there were people in Manichaeism who had inquired about the news of the world before, but after the war was tight, he couldn't care much about it.

Fang La heard that Daliang had already conquered eight cities, and couldn't help but think about their original strategy.

After chatting for a short time, I saw Fang Baihua in armor come in like a gust of wind.

I saw Fang Baihua wearing a phoenix wings and eight treasures golden helmet, wearing a densely buttoned silver light armor, and carrying a green satin brocade flag bag behind his back, with four small gold pinning flags inserted in the bag, obviously in charge of a lot of military power.

When Mu Hong saw Fang Baihua coming in, he took out Chao Yong's letter and said, "My prince has a letter to the princess." ”

Fang Baihua took the letter, opened it and saw that the front was all about Chao Yong's lovesickness for her, and she couldn't help but be happy, but when she saw that Chao Yong invited her to go north, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

After reading the letter, Fang Baihua said to Mu Hong: "Trouble the two of you to return to the little overlord, and when I defeat Tong Guan's army, I will go north to see him." ”

When Mu Hong heard this, he had no choice but to tell the truth: "Now that the situation in Jiangnan is tense, the prince is worried about the princess's safety, so he let us go south, and ask the princess to follow us to the north for the sake of us coming all the way." ”

Fang Baihua frowned and said, "It is precisely because of the tense situation in my country that I want to help my imperial brother defeat Tong Guan's army. At this time, I will never go north with you, so go back. ”

Mu Hong saw that Fang Baihua refused, so he had to turn to the other party and said: "The big war is about to start, the sword has no eyes, and I ask Emperor Yongle to persuade Princess Baihua." ”

Fang La smiled confidently: "Tong Guan's army of 200,000 has suffered a lot of casualties, and my Muzhou has gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, I can still protect the safety of Baihua." Since she doesn't want to go with you, I can't force her. ”

Mu Hong and Li Jun didn't expect Fang La to think like this, and persuaded them for a while, but Fang La was furious: "Our army is only a few small folds, and the foundation is still there, how can you say that it seems that it is about to be destroyed." Okay, you guys go back, the little overlord wants to see Baihua, so he will let him come to Jiangnan in person, how can there be a reason for Baihua to go north. ”

After saying that, he asked the guards to send the two out of the city. (To be continued.) )
