In fact, when Fang La first received the battle report, he didn't believe it at all, Zheng Qing, his old subordinate who had been with him for a long time, Fang Qifo, was also his clansman, a loyal and brave general, although he may be weaker than the four generalissimo-level generals under his command in terms of marching formation, but it is undeniable that Fang Qifo and Zheng Qing are very brave, but they are dead now, very thoroughly, very thoroughly.

According to the battle report, they were killed by the two Song generals respectively, a very strong and brave Song general on foot held a spear and stabbed Fang Qifo off the horse, and then another shot pierced Fang Qifo's face, two moves killed him, Fang Qifo had no power to resist at all, and another Song general with red hair like a god and demon brandished a machete, and cut Zheng Qing into two pieces with one knife, Zheng Qing couldn't even resist.

The former is Zhang Xian, and the latter is Liu Tang.

When did the Song army have so many brave generals? It's not scientific!

It was only at this time that Fang La finally remembered what Zhang Ying said in the letter he wrote to him at the beginning - a decisive battle with you!

It turns out that this is the case, they have long been prepared, knowing that their soldiers are strong and brave, so they will export so much, and it is not the forbidden army at all, but the powerful Western army of 150,000! Deceived the Western Army, which was quietly mobilized by their intelligence system! There are also the strong generals of the Western Army, so many iron-blooded soldiers who play war games with the Xixia people all the year round and roll around on the knife mountain, are not comparable to Fang La's thief army at all.

Shi Bao, his most powerful general, said a premise, a premise that he can set the south of the Yangtze River - the Western Army will not come! As long as the Western Army doesn't come!

But the Western Army came......

So what to do?

According to Si Xing Fang and Fang Jie, Fang La made a decision, a decision that decided everything--I! Driving the Expedition!

After being proclaimed emperor, Fang La announced that with the respect of the emperor of the Great Southern Kingdom, he would lead 300,000 troops to the Northern Expedition! 300,000, three-fifths of the soldiers and horses under Fang La's command! The largest army in the whole of Jiangnan! He also wants to concentrate three of the four generalissimos, six of the eight great generaliss, and fourteen of the sixteen brave generals, and gather the most elite 300,000 soldiers and horses in the country for the Northern Expedition! Stay the prince, the general Shi Bao of Nanli, and the prime minister Fang Fei stay in the old nest.

The strategic goal of the early Northern Expedition is Runzhou, which is defended by the Western Army of the Song Dynasty of 150,000, and the strategic goal is divided into three steps, the first step is to annihilate all the living forces of the Western Song Army and take Runzhou, and the second step is to divide the troops into two northern expeditions, all the way to Song Yangzhou, capture Yangzhou, capture Jiangzuo, and go to Xuzhou; Go all the way to Song Jiangning Mansion, take Jiangning Mansion, cross the Yangtze River, go to the land of Jinghu, go up the Shuojiang River, Dingding Jiangnan, and achieve the strategic goal of dividing the world with Song Ting!

The third step, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, hit Tokyo, capture and kill Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, and set the world!

This is the grand goal that Fang La set for his country and army, very detailed, ambitious, and unrestrained, so that people naturally feel a very heroic momentum, even with the entire Great Southern Kingdom are proud and unrestrained, Fang La's generals seem to have forgotten the defeat of Runzhou that happened just now, and the people below seem to have forgotten the defeat that just happened, as if they won the battle, and will continue to win.

Zhang Ying After they received the battle report, they were depressed, who won the battle? How do you feel that Fang La won the battle, and it was them who were completely annihilated?

Fang La can boost morale in this way, Song Ting can also do it, Emperor Huizong got the news of the victory in Runzhou for the first time, the counterinsurgency corps annihilated Fang La's thief army of 150,000, beheaded two generals, and captured no plan, Emperor Huizong was overjoyed, held a banquet in the palace, and announced that Zhang Ying and Zhang Shuye were promoted as county sons, given land, money, and things, and only the official position remained, and after Fang La was completely pacified, he was promoted.

Yue Fei and Zhang Xian, who were recorded as the first meritorious, were given a lot of money and goods, and they were left with official positions and were promoted together after the complete pacification of Fang La, as for Yue Tuo, it seemed to have been deliberately ignored, and it was not mentioned at all, Yue Tuo was very satisfied, after all, the merit was written by himself, and how to calculate the merit was also understood, although the main battles were all planned by himself, but Yue Tuo did not plan to become a military attaché, but planned to be a civilian official.

The officers and soldiers participating in the battle were all given rewards and wine and meat according to the size of their merits, and the ambassadors of the army set off on a day to reward the three armies!

All the credit is given to Zhang Ying, Zhang Shuye and Yue Fei and his party, they don't want any credit at all, and the guards who have made great contributions under their command don't need it, although Yue Fan has a clear reason for this, but Zhang Ying and Zhang Shuye always feel that this is not good, and it is really not a good thing to have merit and no reward.

But now is not the time to think about these, after the victory in Runzhou, Fang La was seriously stimulated, behind the pride and ambition is a deep fear, Fang La understands better than anyone that if he is defeated, it is definitely a big crime to wipe out the nine clans, he will definitely die and the clan will be wiped out, only his own army is still there, he can be safe, only by continuing to fight, he can live, this is the only choice for the rebels, so Fang La with all the elite, 300,000 troops of the Northern Expedition, desperate, must fight a situation!

Zhang Ying's subordinates were full of 80,000 soldiers and horses, and Yangzhou and Jiangning Prefecture provided grain and grass, so he was not worried about no food to eat, but 80,000 against 300,000 was really stretched, and he was really not sure that the 300,000 troops under the command of Shangla could still win a big victory, so Zhang Ying asked for reinforcements and asked for another 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight against Fang La's 300,000 people.

Emperor Huizong agreed, and chose 100,000 elite forbidden troops to go south to reinforce Runzhou, Zhang Ying frowned deeply, these 100,000 so-called elite forbidden army, it is already very good to have 10,000 soldiers who can fight, 80,000 soldiers and horses, add 10,000, and only 90,000, but on the books of the Song army, it is a full 250,000, 250,000 against 300,000, how to calculate it, Emperor Huizong doesn't know what the forbidden army has become.

At this time, is it useful to send the forbidden army to come? It is equivalent to 90,000 people against 300,000 people, and against those generals under Fang La's command who are said to be very capable of fighting, what the four generalissimos and the like, Fang La has already been called the emperor, he has a full set of ruling teams, Emperor Huizong has not changed his thinking at all, he still looks at Fang La with the eyes of a thief, but he doesn't know that Fang La is already a real enemy at the level of a full-fledged emperor!

But how should the Western Army be recruited? The Western Army should not be moved lightly, that is to guard against the soldiers and horses of Western Xia, and the transfer of an elite horse army of Lin Chong has made Tong Guan's eunuch very unhappy, if he continues to recruit the Western Army, what will Tong Guan think? Zhang Ying kicked the ball to Yue Flip with a bitter face, he regarded Yue Flip as the mastermind, and the whole army top brass tacitly accepted Yue Flip as the mastermind, Yue Flip pondered for a while and gave a solution
