"Really?". z.br>

Ahead, Fang Lajun, who was hit by the Cao family's sophisticated weapons and equipment, threw down their weapons one after another and looked at Cao Sheng with blank eyes.

The Fang La army in the rear took advantage of the night to scatter and flee.

"Of course it's true! You can go to Master Jiang to get it!"

Cao Sheng shouted, and then said to the prison army sent by Jiang Chen, "Jiang Qi, I'll leave it to you here!" The rest of me will chase after me!"

Hmm-

"Where can I find a mother-in-law for them?"

Jiang Qi looked depressed.

Cao Sheng stopped talking, he just wanted to let the troops drag Jiang Qi, lest Jiang Qi come to stop him from making meritorious service again.

The cavalry team that led the essence of the Cao family condensed was pursued and killed by the division.

"! Are you *** still coming? If you have the ability, do you dare to go it alone with me?"

Si Xingfang was shocked and angry, and his heart was so aggrieved that he vomited blood.

He knew that if it weren't for Cao Sheng's personal guards being too perverted and hedging with their cavalry, they would definitely not have lost so quickly and so inexplicably, but at this time, it was too late to regret it.

Seeing that Cao Sheng and the others were all one man and two horses, and the bows and arrows were shot with surprisingly accurate shots, he knew that he would not be spared if he took the main road, so after drilling through a small forest, he sent people to Shangyu to order Yuyao to retreat, and on the other hand, he fled along the path with his loyal subordinates who had been baptized by Manichaeism.

But when he arrived in the Three Realms Town, the whole person cried angrily!

Because the fierce people of the Cao family, who were quick to whip up, had already taken over the important town where only 5,000 old and weak people were left to garrison and were still sleeping.

If it weren't for the fact that the infantry army behind did not keep up, Cao Sheng, Cao Hui and others would have beaten Zexian in one go.

The division had no choice but to reverse to join Yuyao, who had retreated.

When the back road was cut off, the two were forced to have no choice but to lead their troops to Mingzhou (Ningbo).

Mingzhou belongs to the East Road of Liangzhejiang, and nominally Jiang Chen, the envoy of Jiangnan Economic Strategy, and Liu Zheng, the assassin of Liangzhejiang, have the right to manage.

This is also the characteristic of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, just like the four or five county magistrates in some large counties, the powers of each other are not clear, supervision and vigilance, busy and infighting, which is more conducive to the control of the local court by the imperial court.

However, Liu Zheng and his Confucian disciple, Jiangnan Xuezheng Dong Xiang, did not allow Jiang Chen's people to meddle in the affairs of Mingzhou at all, especially after Jiang Chen cut down Zhu Mian and a large number of Confucian disciples.

Therefore, Cao Sheng naturally did not send someone to inform Liu Zheng that there were thieves who ran to them, after all, Jiang Chen's political enemies are also his enemies.

Moreover, he also saved the careful thought of waiting for the thieves to defeat Mingzhou, and then he would regain it and make meritorious contributions.

As a result, Liu Zheng, the assassin of the two Zhejiang provinces, who was bent on seeing Jiang Chen and Cao Sheng's jokes, neglected to take precautions, and was directly turned into people by Si Xingfang and Yu Yao and others to blend into the city, and then seized the city gate and occupied Mingzhou.

Liu Zheng, who was sleeping with two concubines in his arms in the bed, and Dong Xiang, who stayed in the Qinglou overnight, were cut off before they could figure out what was going on!

A large number of Confucian students and gentry who gathered in Mingzhou because they were dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's suppression of Confucianism were not spared, except for some poor students who could not squeeze oil and water for their own use, the rest of them were killed and robbed of their homes by the officials and squires.

Some officials were even dried in the city by him, and the wives and daughters of officials such as Liu Zheng and Dong Xiang were naturally used as military prostitutes.

At this point, in addition to Nanjing, the last piece of paradise held by the Confucian sects in Jiangnan has also turned into their purgatory.

When Si Xingfang captured Mingzhou, Cao Sheng also led the follow-up infantry army, defeated Zexian in one go, and then besieged Xinchang.

As soon as the siege equipment is ready, the general attack will be launched!

After the news reached Fang La's side, Fang La's whole person was stunned, and asked Wang Yin angrily, "Aiqing, do you mean that Qiu Rixin was killed by Cao Sheng? Not only did the division fail to defeat Yuezhou and Shangyu, but even Sanjie Town and Zexian were also lost?"

Wang Yin comforted with a bitter face: "Holy Father, don't worry, although the Si Xingfang lost the Three Realms Town and Ze County, he defeated Mingzhou. As long as we can hold Xinchang and recapture Zexian and Sanjie Town, who will fight this battle

It's too early to say who will win."

"Not bad! Mingzhou is much richer and more vast than Yuezhou, and more than half of the grain, grass and silver money on the East Zhejiang Road have been hoarded, which is enough for our army to consume for several months! Overall, I think it's a win, right?"

Pang Wanchun cautiously helped his brother Si Xingfang to say good things.

"Win?"

Are you stupid for me?

Fang La's eyelids jumped, but in order to stabilize the army's heart, he could only endure the tiredness and nodded crookedly, "En! Exchanging Zexian for Mingzhou is indeed a big victory!

Tell the good news to the three armies!"

After saying that, he looked at the love general Pang Wanchun and said, "I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I will go to support Xinchang immediately. Within three days, I must take back Zexian and Sanjie Town."

"Obey!"

Pan Wanchun knelt down on one knee and saluted, and then ran away.

Everyone also wanted to hide, but Fang La didn't give them a chance, and asked: How is Fang Jie's progress there? There shouldn't be any more accidents against a seventy-year-old man, right?"

Gurgle-

Wang Yin's hearts sank, and they looked at the national teacher Deng Yuanjue.

Deng Yuanjue seemed to be settled, and he didn't mean to open his mouth at all.

Seeing this, Fang La immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, and said coldly, "Say it quickly! I want to know the truth!"

"Well, the truth is that Fang Jie has already returned, and he is currently recuperating in the camp, for fear of disturbing the Holy Father, so he didn't let people know." Wang Yin said stubbornly.

"Coming back? Recuperate?"

Fang La's face immediately became gloomy: "Is he defeated? How much have you lost?"

"Except for the three or five thousand men and horses brought back, the rest are still being counted. The minister thought, they should all come back one after another, right?" Wang Yin said uncertainly.

"I gave him 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight an old man, and he was defeated? And almost all wiped out? Is he playing?"

Bang –

Fang La was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Bring Fang Jie up for me!"

Hmm-

Wang Yin and the others all shrunk their necks.

In less than a moment, Fang Jie, who was wrapped in the shape of zongzi and was bloodstained everywhere, was carried up.

"Jer?"

Seeing this, Fang La's head slammed, and he didn't care about scolding, he hurriedly got up and walked over, and asked in disbelief, "You...... How did you end up like this?"

"Holy Father! Uncle ......"

Fang Jie was guilty and aggrieved, and cried directly: "My nephew is really aggrieved to lose this battle!"

"What the hell is going on? You elaborate on it slowly."

Fang La grabbed Fang Jie's hand and held it tightly to comfort.

Fang Jie said hatefully: "My nephew fell into the trap of Zong Ze's old puppet from the beginning, and after half of the siege, he suddenly ambushed our troops in all directions and cut our army into several sections.

The nephew could only give up the siege and withdraw the troops, but who expected that the two brothers Duan Long and Duan Hu suddenly reversed, led their subordinates to seize the grain and grass, and blocked the back road of our army......

Uncle, the Duan brothers took refuge in Zong Ze's old puppet early in the morning, and conspired to calculate with me, my special mother's grievances......
