Chapter 48: The Great War Begins (4k)

Tong Guan is a particular person.

provoked Ren Feizheng to promise to go south from the mountain, so he no longer mentioned the affairs of the soldiers, and only talked about some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, and the wind and moon, and a few people were also happy as guests and hosts.

Early in the morning of the second day, a chamberlain led a group of porters up the mountain, brought dozens of boxes of things, and read out the holy decree.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said:

Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang, and Ren Feizheng, the elder, were loyal and kind, and the men of Xin'an County and Yiyang County were pardoned with 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 100 horses of brocade, and 100 altars of imperial wine. The special order Ren County male went to Jinling with the Taishi to surrender the bandit leaders Fang La, Xuzhu, Shi Bao and others. ”

"Under the command!"

Li Hao only arched his hand, causing the inner servant who announced the decree to frown, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but was ignored by Tong Guanrin.

Li Hao accepted the order and asked the disciples to divide this imperial gift with the beggars.

Seeing that Li Hao took the order and took the property, Tong Guan finally settled down, and laughed heartily:

"Brother Ren remembers the people of Limin, and is willing to go out of the mountain to help, and the Taoist is remembered in the five.

I want to take the oath from Tokyo in seven days, go south to quell the chaos, and spend a month to go to Changzhou Road, Liangzhejiang, and my brother only needs to go to Changzhou in mid-June. ”

Li Hao's face was straight, and he said slowly:

"This is the righteousness of the family and the country, what is the praise for helping each other? But Brother Tong, I am a contemptible person in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know how to deal with politics and soldiers, so you and I have to make three chapters of the law. ”

Tong Guan hesitated for a moment and thought:

The thug who finally managed to fool him couldn't let him run away like this, no matter how harsh he said, I promised to come down first, and then I might not be able to help him when I went to the battlefield.

"Brother Ren, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Tong will do his best."

Li Hao smiled:

"It's not that hard. First, this false bamboo steals my treasures, which is really hateful, if you meet this person, I need to kill him, not by the hands of others; Second, whoever I have lost the seven-trumpet chicken must be returned to me; Third, I don't know the art of war, but since I am a boxer, I don't want to know anything about army scheduling, so I want to ask for a job to join the army and listen to military discussions. ”

Reasonable, this requirement is too reasonable, and it is not much higher than Tong Guan's psychological bottom line.

Xuzhu and Hand Chicken should have been dealt with by this Ren Feizheng, as for the military discussion.

As long as you don't want to command, what does it matter if you have more than one person to observe?

What's more, this Ren Feizheng and Xuzhu have a grudge against stealing chickens and snatching chickens, this is a hardcore teammate who will never leak the news!

Didn't you see that when he heard that he was going to do a fake bamboo and beat Fang La, he immediately agreed with a light in his eyes?

Tong Guan smiled happily and immediately agreed: "These three things are not a problem!" ”

After finalizing the opinion, and fighting with Li Hao Qiaofeng for a while, Tong Guan said goodbye and left, and went back to Bianjing.

May is scorching, and the heat is outrageous.

Tong Guan led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the south, advancing by waterway, recruiting people all the way, and the movements were known to the world, and went straight to the north of the Liangzhejiang Road that Fang La was still occupying.

Finally, at the end of May, the advance of the army rushed to Liangzhejiang and held Changzhou and Runzhou (now Zhenjiang), so that Liangzhejiang would not fall into the hands of Fang La.

At the beginning of June, Tong Guan's army arrived in Changzhou, and along the way requisitioned nearly 200,000 Xiang troops, township soldiers, and people's husbands, plus some remnants of the army in Liangzhejiang and Jiangnan who were beaten by the Fangla army and abandoned their armor and fled in a hurry, known as the 400,000 army, occupied the county north of Taihu Lake, recovered the lost land, and built a camp.

With today's communication conditions, when Tong Guan swore in Beijing, Fang La already knew that this time the enemy would be raised by Tong Guan, and the Western Army would be a family member.

Mingjiao is also careful to deal with it, and has long displayed most of the Mingjiao's family background in the south of Taihu Lake, guarding the key roads and passes, forming a corner of each other, involving the Tong Guan army.

Tong Guan did not rush forward and attack immediately, but collected the remnants of the soldiers from all over the country, drilled the formations, collected boats, and let the guest troops from afar adapt to the local climate; On the one hand, a small group of elite troops was sent to continuously attack the fortress occupied by the interference Fang La's army.

The two sides tried several times, but they both felt that they had underestimated the enemy's trickiness before, and became more cautious and cautious, and for a time they became facing each other across the lake.

On June 11, under the greeting of Tong Guan, Li Hao passed through the pass, walked through the towering barracks, and entered the camp tent of the Chinese army.

Along the way, Tong Guan enthusiastically introduced the various arrangements of the camp.

Li Hao was also amazed, revealing the envy of the military white, so Tong Guan talked more, and secretly kept this kind of arrangement in his heart.

Okay, now that you've worked so hard to figure out the layout of the highlands and springs, Xuzhu knows it all in your chest, and Fang La is about to know.

After venting his own camp defense, Tong Guancai still pulled Li Hao into the boss's camp tent and confessed:

"Brother Ren's miraculous skills are world-famous, and all the generals don't need to care about it this time, only the current family members of the family can ask for it, and Brother Ren has to respect it.

This person is the current head of the Fold family, although it is only the peak of the false form, but the Fold family can be called the same as the Shandong Confucian family and the Chai family of the former dynasty, and there are also extraordinary, and the real hand is stronger than the ordinary real form. ”

Li Hao opened his mouth and laughed:

"Hahaha! A certain person is just here to help the fist, and when he observes the military, he must say little, and he will not be annoyed by this person. ”

Tong Guan was placed by Li Hao, and then a few days after the military counselor. Li Hao was also familiar with Tong Guan's generals.

It's just that he has always been cold to him, and Li Hao doesn't care, he attends the meeting on time every day, and he doesn't say a word at the meeting.

In such a half month, Tong Guan relied on a large number of soldiers and generals, and under the attack of elite soldiers everywhere, he also recaptured many important passes, and finally attracted Fang La to personally take action and destroy a thousand-person army.

At the beginning of July, the Chinese army, the main general was in the tent.

Tong Guan sat in the main seat, and more than a dozen people such as Li Hao were divided into left and right, each sitting at a table, but no one moved the wine and food on the table, and each had a sad face.

Tong Guan sighed and said:

"Yesterday, the official family sent me a message 78 times, saying that Cai Xiang had defeated Tian Hu several times and recovered the land of Sanzhou, Gao Yuce rebelled against the leader of Chao Gai called Song Jiang, and also defeated Liangshan for a while, and Wang Xiang also won in Huaixi."

The crowd under the tent was excited, this said that Fang La was not comparable to the other three thieves, and that suggestion continued to be steady and steady, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Glancing at Ren Feizheng, who was silent, Tong Guan patted his head with a headache, feeling for the first time that this chicken could bring such trouble while being convenient.

If the official family is urging tightly, then this battle must be fought.

"That's it!" Tong Guan slapped the table and scolded angrily:

"If the official family wants to fight, they must fight, and they must fight beautifully! See, what do you do? ”

The dead man's face said expressionlessly:

"Throughout the ages, there have been more than 100,000 soldiers on both sides, how can there be any strategy at all? It's nothing more than a head-on battle, where the winner lives and the loser dies. ”

Tong Guan snorted coldly and said:

"Isn't a direct attack on the enemy's southern camp like a siege? Originally, the odds of winning with nine points were only five points, which is inappropriate, inappropriate! ”

At this time, everyone was the first to come out, and it was Liu Menglong, who escaped from Jinling and ran all the way to Taihu Lake, he arched his hand and said:

"Master! Why don't you go along the waterways? It is difficult to practice a water master, and it is definitely not something that can be practiced in three or two months.

Fangla camp is also built according to the water, and now on the Taihu Lake, the Taihu Lake water division still exists, which is our great advantage! ”

Tong Guan became interested and asked, "How to use this water army, what is the best strategy?" ”

Liu Menglong replied:

"The Taishi first taught the horse infantry to explore the road, about this side of the thieves to fight, lead the thieves out of the battle, and then transfer the waterway warships and some elite of the Western army to rob the thieves' lair, so that they can't take care of each other, and they can get a group of thieves!"

Tong Guan looked at the fold and begged, saw that he bowed slightly, settled down, decided to use this strategy, and arranged with the generals to allocate troops and horses, and then Li Hao said:

"If you want to lure the thief, you should raise the banner openly and force him to show up!

I also asked Brother Ren to spread the method of hand chickens to Jiangsu and Zhejiang like that virtual bamboo, and about this party to imitate the autumn seven days later, and line up for battle! ”

All the generals clapped their asses and said:

"The master is clever! If this is the case, the whole world knows and the thieves dare not fight, and they will lose the hearts of the army and the people. In this way, even if he doesn't dare to be unwilling, the thief can only fight us head-on! ”

A few people were patting their ass, when they heard a herald outside:

"Gusu Murong Fu brought more than 1,000 people to visit the Taishi, saying that he wanted to help the Taishi pacify Fangla!"

Murong Fu had killed Lin Lingsu with Fang La in West Lake before, but the only people who knew about it were a few people at that time.

After that, he basically did not participate in any Mingjiao activities, and in the eyes of the world, Gusu Murong was still just a force in the rivers and lakes, and had nothing to do with Mingjiao.

"Hahaha!" Tong Guan slapped the table and said with great joy: "The combat power of the True Form Realm is also more than ours, and this battle will be won!" ”

A few people wanted to congratulate, but they interrupted uninterestingly:

"Among the people brought by Murong Fu, are there any female dependents and old people?"

The herald replied, "Yes, quite a few!" ”

Zhe Keqiu's tense face relaxed, and he said to Tong Guan:

"Although a hero like Murong Fu should not take refuge in Fang La, he still has to guard against it, and his family members may not be in harmony with him. You only told him that we want to fight a decisive battle, not about the surprise attack of the sailors! ”

"Good!" Tong Guan nodded, and then pulled Li Hao and the soldiers out to welcome Murong Fu into the camp.

After three rounds of drinking, looking at Murong Fu who looked like a humble gentleman and 'Ren Feizheng', who had been silent, Tong Guan smiled proudly:

How do you lose now? Steady!

In the Mingjiao camp, 'Xuzhu' walked quickly through the layers of guards, walked to Fang La's tent, and said with a smile:

"The Sect Master is really destiny! Under the guidance of the sect leader, the little monk's fateful pass, which was not good at that time, came into play again! ”

Li Hao handed over the defensive formation map of Tong Guan's camp, and then explained the poisonous plan and disbursement of the sneak attack of Tong Guan's covenant war, and Fang La's mouth was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Since this Tong Guan wants to make an appointment, let's make an appointment!"

On July 3, Ren Feizheng spread to the southern parts of the Yangtze River, and the army of Fangla was about to fight in the Taihu Plain seven days later. This place is extremely flat, without traps and ambushes, and it can be said that it is the fairest place for battle.

On July 5, Xuzhu spread the word to the south of the Yangtze River and responded to this covenant battle.

On July 10, it should have been warm at the beginning of autumn, but this day was a bleak west wind.

On that day, above Taihu Lake, the waves were turbulent, and the sunshine lake water, like ten thousand golden snakes, was turning over the waves.

Under the dragon flag, on the big boat, 'Ren Feizheng' followed Liu Menglong to look south, and could already see the shadow of Fangla's camp from a distance, and suddenly dozens of small boats rushed out of the camp.

"Hahaha!" Liu Menglong laughed in the wind, thinking that he was proud.

"With only a few dozen small boats, how can you stop my 10,000 sailors? Mr. Ren, the thief has a bad ear! ”

In the canopy of the small boat led by him, 'Xuzhu' drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said to the people in front of him:

"Sect Master, I'm going out to lead that Ren Feizheng away. After you have used your divine power to destroy the imperial court sailors, you can lead the troops directly into the official army camp in one go, and the retainers of the Murong family will respond in the middle, and then reflexively go to the main battlefield to support. ”

"Don't you really need my help? The two of us joined forces."

Li Hao hurriedly stopped Fang La's words and said, "I have calculated, this time there must be no danger!" It is important to defeat the official army, don't worry about the sect leader! ”

With that, he walked out of the boat quickly.

Seeing the ugly monk on the boat from afar, Liu Menglong couldn't laugh, and looked at the 'Ren Feizheng' beside him tremblingly:

"Mr. Ren, that monk is Xuzhu?"

"Hahaha! You can find it, thief monk! Ren Fei was soaring into the sky and rushed straight to Xuzhu, who was also fakely surprised, so that Shenzutong turned into an airplane and fled.

The two chased after each other, and soon disappeared into the sky.

It's okay like this, it's enough to attack the camp with the strength of the sailors. Liu Menglong, who was relieved, commanded the patrol ships to destroy these Fang La's small boats, and wanted to continue to attack Fang La's camp.

At this time, another person came out of the boat where Xuzhu was before.

The wind rises, the clouds move, the water surges, and the thunder falls, leaving only a mess.

Fang La turned into the body of Ying Long and flew to the north, forty miles away from the official camp, there was an elite soldier who had been ambushed in advance and a guest of the Murong family waiting.

A gong sounded, Tong Guanrong was draped, riding a jade carved gold saddle horse, the prancing horse was facing forward, chanting and spreading the sound throughout the entire plain on both sides, and the righteous and stern words shouted the formation:

"Rebels and thieves are chaotic, don't be rampant! Fang La, the state has national law, you are openly rebelling, the crime is unforgivable, now the heavenly soldiers of the court have arrived, and you will be wiped out! ”

There was also a helmet and armor hanging in the army on the opposite side, and he rode out on horseback and shouted:

"Child thief! Today, your grandfather Shi Bao is going to take your life! ”

What about Fang La? In such a big battle, he didn't come to take charge?

Tong Guan felt bad and scolded:

"Why are you a? What about the thieves? Didn't you run away without eggs? ”

"Hahaha!" Shi Bao raised his sledgehammer, motioned for the Chinese army to move forward, and shouted:

"Sect Master, I'm afraid it's already in your big barracks now!"

The army behind Tong Guan was in an uproar, and their morale plummeted.

Tong Guan secretly scolded shamelessly, how can he steal the camp like me? In order to boost morale, he also shouted:

"Rebel ministers and thieves, I have already invited the beggars to help Elder Ren Feizheng and 20,000 sailors attack your camp, and I am also in your camp at this time!"

All Tactical Converters?

The morale of the officers and soldiers was boosted a little, but Shi Bao had already directly beat the drum and ordered the army to attack forward, and shouted:

"With Master Xuzhu guarding the camp, our army is fine. You're the only ones who don't have roots! ”

That's not right, without the Void Bamboo Fangla, the other party is not only a true form of Shibao here?

But there are two of us here, and it is also a real combat power, three to one, and the advantage is mine!

Seeing that Shi Bao had already led the army forward, Tong Guan rushed forward first.

"Keqiu, Mr. Murong, the three of us will work together to kill this stone treasure!"

Zhe Keqiu shouted: "Ancestor help me", and several phantoms entered his body. When his momentum increases, he will also rush forward.

Then, he was hit by a sword in the back.

All the soldiers were shocked, and even Tong Guan, who had already rushed out of the distance, turned back in surprise.

Zhe Keqiu reluctantly turned around, and saw that under the sun, Murong Fu let go of the long sword with an indifferent face, squinting and smiling like a fox:

"I'm sorry! I'm undercover. ”
