The second day after Changzhou was captured by the Liangshan army, the Liangshan army sent troops to conquer Runzhou, and the situation at this time was that the southeastern half of the prefectures and counties captured by the Fangla army, except for the cities south of Hangzhou, such as Muzhou (now Chun'an, Hangzhou), Shezhou (now Huizhou, Anhui), Quzhou, Wuzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang) and Qingxi, which were still under the control of the Fangla army, north of Hangzhou, the Fangla army was left with only two besieged isolated cities: Jinling and Suzhou.

Today, the city of Suzhou has been besieged for half a year, and the city has been out of food for more than a month.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Liangshan Army outside Suzhou, Zhu Biao was standing alone in front of a large map and thinking about his next plan.

Jinling, that is the center of half of the south half of the Yangtze River, has always been established in the southeast of the country to build the capital of Jinling, but now the main force of the Liangshan army has repeatedly fought continuously, has been exhausted, attacking Jinling, although Fang La has not many defenders in the city, but to attack the strong city with a tired division, after all, is not the best policy. Did he order the Yue Fei brothers in Pukou to lead the army across the river and attack Jinling?

No, Jinling must be taken, but not now, now that there is Liu Yanqing in the east and Wang Yu in the west, I must at least give Fang La a chance to escape, we must not let him die in the hands of our army, nor can we be captured in Jinling by our army. At least not right now!

The military salaries and grain promised by the imperial court last time have not yet arrived, and now they have 50,000 troops in Yangzhou, the purpose is obvious, one is to compete with our Liangshan for the merit of capturing Fang La, and the other is to compete with the cranes and mussels, and they are good fishermen to profit. As long as Fang La is there, as long as Muzhou, Shezhou, Quzhou, Wuzhou and other cities south of Hangzhou are still in Fang La's hands, the imperial court will have no way to take my Liangshan army. However, the last time I met Fang La in Jinshan Temple, that Fang La is also a true man, and real men have temperaments, and they would rather be broken jade than complete tiles, will Fang La escape? If he doesn't escape, how can I let Fang La escape by himself?

No, Fang La is not a fool, he will not sit still. I will immediately send someone to order the main force of the Liangshan army to attack Jinling, but I must make it clear to them that it is not allowed to capture or kill Fang La, and when attacking Jinling, hit the west, open the net on three sides, and force Fang La to leave.

As long as Fang La is forced away from Jinling, Suzhou City will completely become a lonely city, when the soldiers of the Fang La army guarding Suzhou know that Jinling is lost, Jinling is captured by our Liangshan army, in the next thought, they must have no intention of resisting.

Zhu Biao drew a circle in each of the two positions in Shandong and southeast on the map: Then from now on, this piece will be the world of our Liangshan Army. Then he drew a circle on the remaining territory of Fang La: as long as he is there, the imperial court will be a rat trap for me Liangshan after all, if the imperial court will seal this large piece as the Liangshan Special Administrative Region, then we can develop the people's livelihood and strengthen the military horses, the stronger our military horses, the more the imperial court will be afraid of us; If the imperial court doesn't give us the territory of Fangla that we have laid down as a special administrative region, then okay, then let's talk about Fangla, please come back-Zhu Biao laughed dryly: If you don't give it to me, I won't let you have a share.

When Zhu Biao was meditating alone, Du Biao came in from outside, and he saw Zhu Biao standing alone in front of the map and pondering, knowing that Zhu Biao was thinking about the future of the Liangshan brothers. Du Yan walked in and said, "Owner, it's time for you to rest." ”

Zhu Biao did not respond to Du Yan's words, but said: "My Liangshan army must have occupied Jinling, which is equivalent to occupying half of his Great Song Dynasty Wang Chao." ”

Du Biao did not continue to persuade Zhu Biao to rest, but continued to follow Zhu Biao's question, and said: "The owner of the village, occupying Jinling, is certainly conducive to the development of our great cause of Liangshan, but Jiangzhou, Ezhou (now Wuhan) and other important places along the river in the upper reaches of Jinling are in the hands of the imperial court, and there is still a remnant of Fangla in the south of our army, I am afraid that the position of our army will not be conducive to the development of our army at that time." There is an old saying since ancient times, those who establish a country in the southeast, without Jianghuai, the country will be weak, and without Jingxiang, the country will be in danger, if our army wants to really gain a foothold in the southeast, I am afraid that there is only one Jinling, which is far from enough. ”

Zhu Biao also thought of this question, and since Du Biao raised it, he asked rhetorically: "What does Brother Du think?" ”

Du Yan thought for a while and said: "Now we must not turn our faces with the imperial court, once we turn our faces, then the 50,000 officers and troops in Yangzhou can immediately cut off our Shandong Jiangnan into two places, so that our army can not care about each other." ”

Zhu Biao said: "In my opinion, the 50,000 officers and troops in Yangzhou are grass mustard, Mr. Gongsun will have a way to occupy Yangzhou and completely open up the canal, as for the city in the upper reaches of Jinling, I also have a way to occupy it in a grand manner." ”

"Oh, the owner of the village has already made a calculation?"

Zhu Biao said: "I've just thought about it now, I haven't thought about it yet, and now I just want to say it, and let Brother Du staff for me." ”

"I guess the owner of the village has a clever plan."

"If Wang Qing of Huaixi can now fight Jiangzhou and occupy Jiangzhou, wouldn't that just give our Liangshan army an excuse to attack Jiangzhou?"

Du Yi frowned and pondered for a moment: "But how can we let Wang Qing attack Jiangzhou?" ”

"Rumors!"

"Rumors?" Du Yan immediately woke up: "Does the owner of the village mean to let our brothers go out to spread rumors, just say that the purpose of the imperial court sending troops to be stationed in Jiangzhou is to deal with Wang Qing?" ”

"Almost, but I don't know if Wang Qing will believe it? What if he doesn't believe it? Believe it, if he sends troops to attack my Liangshan army directly, then won't I lift a stone to shoot myself in the foot? ”

Du Yan said: "There is a small plan below, and the custody asks him Wang Qing to go to Jiangzhou." ”

"What's the solution, Brother Du said."

Du Yan said: "Why don't we send someone to Huaixi, let the person who goes here pretend to be someone sent by Fang La to ask for help, tell him the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, and his household is in danger, and tell him that there is a way not to fight with the strong enemy Liangshan army, but also to let the Liangshan army stop attacking Fangla, and also occupy the city of the imperial court, that is, to attack Jiangzhou in the upper reaches of Jinling." ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Brother Du's strategy is good, it turns out that he is also a resourceful person, but this person who goes to Huaixi must choose well, and if he doesn't do it well, it will be self-defeating." ”

Du Yan arched his hand and said: "Let's go down in person." ”

"No, Wang Qing knows Brother Du, it will be self-defeating if you go." Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "You have to choose someone who can speak well and is not well-known in our Liangshan military branch." ”

Du Yan passed everyone he knew in his mind: Then who should go? (To be continued.) )
