They took the Liangshan Dabo left behind after the great diversion of the Yellow River as their base, and gathered people to revolt under the banner of "walking for the heavens", and the officials and soldiers did not dare to attack them. At this time, Hou Meng, the governor of Bozhou, wrote that it was better to recruit Song Jiang and ask him to go to the Song Dynasty to quell the Fangla uprising. Is there such a good thing? The Song Dynasty authorities immediately appointed Hou Meng as the prefect of Dongping, responsible for recruiting Song Jiang. But Hou Meng died before he could take office, and the Song Dynasty had to appoint Zhang Shuye as the governor of Haizhou. Uncle Zhang's night appeasement and suppression were combined, and finally Song Jiang surrendered and the uprising was pacified.

However, the Fangla uprising was by no means quelled by the heroes of Liangshan who were recruited. The one who solved Fang La's problem was still Tong Guan's 150,000 Great Song Western Army! After disbanding the hearts of the rebels with a self-asserted "edict of guilt", Tong Guan launched an attack. In this way, there is really nothing to say, because the battle situation is one-sided, there is no stalemate, no decisive battle, Fang La's people continue to break up and retreat, until he fled back to his hometown Qingxi, and the Song army surrounded the entire Qingxi. On April 26, Fang La was captured.

Is the process monotonous and boring? Maybe. If you look at normal history books, these are the things. But there are countless torrents hidden in these monotony, and soon the world-famous and invincible generals of the country have emerged at this time! The southern expedition to Fangla, it was when Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, the Wu brothers, Han Shizhong and others rose, and they all participated. Suffice it to say: this is a springboard for their fame ...

It had been 18 years since they were introduced in 1103, and the teenagers had grown up. Over the years, each of them has worked hard to live and die, or wandered leisurely, and they have made their own little achievements.

Let's talk about Liu Guangshi first, the son of Jiangmen is doing very well. He doesn't have to start from the grassroots level, his father Liu Yanqing has already paved the road, and the starting point is the third shift. As he grew up year by year, he was promoted to the defense envoy and the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Yanyan Road. As for fighting, he also interned a few times, after all, Liu Yanqing was one of the main generals of the Western Army, and the Battle of Song and Xia over the years. It's really common to go to the battlefield, but there is no record of Liu Guangshi's record...

This is a portrayal of Liu Guangshi's life, he is a famous general in the Song Dynasty and one of the "Four Generals of Zhongxing", but I can't find any glorious or tragic achievements in him!

People can climb up smoothly, quickly, and with both fame and fortune, even if his father is not there and no one takes care of him, he still does not delay his climbing... So later, some people were puzzled: What is his name Liu Crawling? Or is it called Liu Ranran?

And in this collective action, it is better not to disturb him, let him continue to climb under his father's wing for another year. A year later, the world was in turmoil, and his life in the yamen was about to begin to change...

Next up is Zhang Jun. The teenager who silently walked into the Northwest Barracks 18 years ago now has an official rank. It is Shinshiro. Flipping down the official rank system table of the Song Dynasty, this title is roughly equivalent to a three-class borrowing. Referring to Liu Guangshi above, people started with the third class of service. There is no comparison between people and people! With the same official title, Zhang Jun traveled all over the Song Dynasty, fought from the northwest to the southwest, and barely got it after nearly 10 years of bloody battles!

He entered the Western Army at the age of 16 and became a Sanyang archer, and has been mixed at the bottom and obscure. In 1115, the rebellion of Bu Leak, the elite of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty entered Shu to quell the chaos. Zhang Jun was lucky to be in the participating troops, and he was covered in blood, and finally got out of the status of a soldier. Back in the northwest, he became the commander of the capital... Then start a war with Western Xia. Zhang Jun didn't squeeze into the main attack team, and let Fugui slip through his fingers, but he was an attacker, and he had a share in military exploits. Divided his little "Chengxin Lang"

This is Zhang Jun's fate, he is powerful and talented, but unfortunately he has no foundation and no luck. These two extremes made his heart strongly distorted, and the spiritual cry of "I want to be rich" has always accompanied him from youth to youth, from youth to middle age. Time flies, time is running out, and there are fewer opportunities left for him, so when the opportunity finally comes, he will be doubly fierce and unscrupulous! No matter what is in front of him, even if heaven and earth are intolerable and treacherous, don't try to stop him! I want to be rich!

The Wu brothers had a more bland life, even more plain than Zhang Jun. Brother Wu Jue is taciturn by nature, and in addition to practicing archery every day, he reads quietly. Over time, even the barracks will forget about him. In the past 18 years, he was subordinate to the Northwest Jingyuan Army, and he was gradually promoted to the rank of official because of the intermittent and non-stop fighting of the Song Xia War. He is a righteous lieutenant and a team general. It's just a squad leader or a big captain... His younger brother Wu Lan is quieter, and he has always been the shadow of his brother. My brother is the captain of the brigade and he is the captain of the squadron. My brother is the squad leader, he's the squad leader...

Han Shizhong is an outlier among the young people of the country, and at the age of 18, he suddenly felt that he was bored with the days of being a professional gangster, so what to do? looked at his own conditions, he should not be a gangster and a bandit, and he should not be a thief to be a soldier! He walked into the barracks ...

The first test in the military camp, Han Shizhong held a strong bow and rode an inferior horse "Yongguan Three Armies" enlisted in the army for a few years, the Song-Xia War began, Han Shizhong went out with the army, the first battle was in a small city in Yinzhou, and the Xixia people hid in the city and refused to fight. Han Shizhong rushed to the city alone, killed the generals, and threw the heads of the enemy generals out of the city. The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted and they rushed forward.

The second battle was in Haopingling, which was surrounded by the Western Xia people, Han Shizhong led the elite cavalry to relieve the siege, and he successfully completed the task, but he felt that it was not enjoyable. He went back from the path, and at this time, the enemy army gathered, and the number of people was huge, Han Shizhong not only did not run, but led his men and horses to kill him! In the battle array of hundreds of thousands of people, no matter how fierce the individual is, it has no effect? But Han Shizhong is different, he has played personal heroism all his life, and he can always turn the tide of the battle with a very small number of troops and do incredible things! At this time, he actually repelled the enemy. After retreating, he was still not happy, he asked the captured captive, "Hey, that cavalry is very powerful, who is he" won the lottery, it was the Western Xia horse, called Wu Yi... Han Shizhong jumped over and cut down with a knife! Then continue to cut down until the entire army of the Tanguts collapses...

After this war, the entire barracks of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty knew that an unprecedented fierce man was born! But if things go too far, there will always be some side effects. When it comes to meritorious deeds, this kind of record is reported, and even the coach Tong Guan doesn't believe it, "Lie people, right?" The big eunuch felt depressed, "Lying people actually deceived me?" Hmph, with so much credit, it's good to have one that is true! Right! Just give him credit once."

When the news came, the entire Great Song Western Army was upset for him! Why? You can't even be a hero in this world! On the other hand, Han Shizhong himself is nothing, in his heart, this is just a few more people and less wages, can't he cut it again in the future? Cut! What's the hurry!

So he turned and jumped into the depths of the barracks, and went to drink and fight and have fun. The opportunity soon came, and he was lucky enough to be transferred to the front line. Go and be an engineer.

As mentioned earlier: starting from Fan Zhongyan, the Song Dynasty continued to build fortresses in the northwest, encroaching step by step, squeezing out the living space of the Tangut people. This one is effective, every generation of the Western Army is doing it, and now it is Han Shizhong's turn. Coincidentally, the engineering team he belongs to belongs to Liu Guangshi's father Liu Yanqing...

As soon as Han Shizhong and the others built a fortress and named it Heavenly Mountain, they were occupied by the Tangut people. It's frustrating, but it's also commonplace. This kind of thing is common on the Song-Xia border. But Han Shizhong couldn't stand it, he built it! He got up in the middle of the night, touched the wall alone, and cut down two Xixia people with a knife in his hand. He turned around and cut off the two heads, and then thought about it, killing people also depends on time and place. Killed while walking and climbing the wall in the middle of the night. The difficulty is not the same. So he cut off two pieces of the felt of the parapet that fell from the sky and brought them back to the camp. He did it twice after that.

18 years have passed, and he has achieved the "brave lieutenant" to put it simply: he is a soldier egg who is a little bigger than a soldier's egg. This is simply bullying, and even the top brass of the Western Army can't look at it themselves. When Han Shizhong followed Tong Guan across the Yangtze River to fight Fangla, he compensated him with the title of partial general. General Han was a little happier, which directly led to his desire for the battlefield. History proves that in this southern expedition, almost all the limelight was occupied by him! As for the final result? Please refer to the previous time when I fought Western Xia...

Year 1121. The youngest of the country's boys is still far from the mainstream-Yue Fei! This year, he was 19 years old, still a farmer, and traveled all over the mountains and rivers in other teenagers, staining his clothes with blood. When his heart was soaked in fame and fortune and resentment, he always lived in the farmland, trying his best to get more food every year.

Yue Fei's growth was difficult, "The Biography of Yue Fei in the History of the Song Dynasty" recorded: He was born before the full moon, the Yellow River was diverted from the Yellow River, and in the monstrous flood, his mother Yao carried him into a large vat and drifted down the river to be saved... Before the moon was completed, he lost his home.

Of course, there are different theories, and the masters of modern studies of Song history cite scriptures and classics to say that this is not true. There are three reasons: 1. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River did not flow through Neihuang County. 2 Yue Fei's birthday is February 15, 1103, between the second and third months of the lunar calendar, not the time when the Yellow River bursts. 3 Except for the "Biography of Yue Fei in the History of the Song Dynasty", other historical books do not record that the Yellow River broke in the Inner Yellow River in this year... But what does this prove? proves that Yue Fei has lived a superior life since he was a child, with no shortage of food and clothing? So there's nothing remarkable about what you've done in your life? The fact is that even without this flood, Yue Fei's life was still poor, he was born on barren land and grew up in a poor peasant family. This determined that he could only live a barely subsistence life in his childhood and youth. In this kind of life, he can't receive a minimum private school education, he is taught by his parents to read and read, and he can't eat good things.

But Yue Fei was born with divine power! The bow can be 300 catties, and the waist crossbow is 8 stones (close to 1,000 catties today), this kind of strength is the peak of the Song generation! At that time, only Han Shizhong could match it! The free and easy Han Shizhong, with this kind of bravery, whether he is a gangster or a soldier, he is happy and happy. And Yue Fei is loyal by nature, he has a threshold in his heart that restricts him at all times, and he never makes mistakes. This made him more and more tired when he was a farmer, and he couldn't even maintain food and clothing after the end, so he had to go to farm for others to work!

Yue Fei's hometown is Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, and the place where he works is the most famous family in Xiangzhou, the name of Han's "Day Jintang" in Anyang County is very arrogant, and the allusion comes from Xiang Yu's famous saying "Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night" The overlord of Western Chu died on this sentence! The allusion is so bad, why is there anyone still using it? There are no taboos for those who use it. He is an outlier in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty - Han Qi!

Han Qi became an official, which can be called a golden wind with two sleeves, leaving a rich legacy to the family. Dayjin Hall is a collection of manor villas in one of the super large building complex, just the land is not less than thousands of acres, in the current era of scraping land everywhere, the whole nation collective bankruptcy, is very eye-catching. But people like Li Yan and Yang Jian have never set their sights on this land. The Han family is a powerful family, and Han Zhongyan was the prime minister in the early years of Huizong, and Han Qi's grandson can still envoy to the Liao State, which is an authentic privileged class, and has always been exempt from tax and military service and oppression. This is really an ideal place to work, and Yue Fei went here. In Dayjin Hall, Yue Fei works two jobs, one is farm work and the other is a security guard.

It is said that once the Han family was besieged by more than 100 robbers, Yue Fei climbed the wall and shot the bandit Zhang Chao with an arrow. This was the first person Yue Fei shot and killed in history, and at the same time saved the Han family from danger, but it did not improve his own fate. What to improve? How many generals under the Han clan have bent their waists, and even the famous Di Qing has to bow down and stand at the foot of Han Qi's steps! What if a little farmer can shoot arrows? Not a personal person? This kind of life will not end in another two years. At that time, Yue Fei would walk out of this small world and go to the vast world outside. Yes! He started too late, and he missed a lot of highlights. But there is a providence in the dark, and when he appeared in front of the world 2 years later, it was the critical moment when the Central Plains was sinking and the world was turned upside down!

In 1121, Yue Fei was still patient. There is no way, there are old and young in his family, and they are all waiting to eat. I forgot to say: Yue Fei got married at the age of 15, his wife was older than him, and his first son, Yue Yun, was born before he went out to work. Some people say that Yue Yun is not Yue Fei's biological son, but a righteous son. It's actually the same as the previous one that burst the levee, yes or no, is there any difference? The important thing is that Yue Yun is a good son of Yue Fei, and he has followed his father all his life.

Yu Gong, he is his father's most powerful subordinate. For selfishness, he was with his father in life and death... That's enough!

Back in Qingxi County, Muzhou, Jiangnan, this green mountain valley is covered with war clouds and has become a dead knot. This problem has never appeared in the 161 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, even if Di Qing expeditioned to Lingnan during the time of Renzong, it was not so difficult!

In the mountains, the rebel army resisted stubbornly, this is the suffering person who followed Fang La to the end and did not even believe in the edict of the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Outside the mountain, there were 150,000 Song troops, which were all the family resources of the Song Dynasty at that time, and in terms of strength, this was a huge military force than Di Qing's southern expedition, and in any case, the combat effectiveness was far greater than that of farmers who farmed and cultivated land. But Tong Guan didn't dare to attack!

The first is that the geography is not familiar, Qingxi County has very large mountains and many caves, and you can't get out if you get in. Second, Fang La is a person who dares to work hard, does he dare to do it? Needless to say, as long as the discount is more than 30%, it is an unimaginable disaster! After that, what will you take to resist Western Xia and go to Lianjin to destroy Liao? You have to count on these soldiers at hand, and there must be no loss! But if you don't get in, can Fang La be destroyed?

This problem trapped all the Song troops, and no number of battle-hardened generals and strategists could not think of a way. The dead knot tightened more and more, and no one noticed at this time: a large soldier figure quietly slipped out of the barracks and into Qingxi Mountain.

The man avoided the mountain road and dived into a dark ravine, and he did not know the direction of the road, but he took it for granted that he would go deeper and darker. He thought very simply: no matter who wants to hide in the mountains, it is only a place where the more dangerous and deeper it is to walk, and Fang La should hide in that kind of place? But there is really a gap between theory and practice! The mountain is so big, when can we find Fang La?

There are difficulties, but this person cannot be difficult. This man walked around the mountains, and it is said that he suddenly met a woman living deep in the mountains. What a blessing this was, not only did he meet the aborigines, but the aborigines also told him the exact location of Fang La's hiding...

After knowing the location, he touched it alone, and didn't even think about going back to find reinforcements. In his heart, this is money, this is an official position, and this is an opportunity for heroes to become famous! (To be continued......)
