According to this military report, on the third day of the third month of March, that is, the sixteenth day of the fall of Jinling City, the Great Xia court received the news of the fall of Jinling, and then received the battle situation of the three prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River in one day.

The border army did not move, the two sons of Ningshan Mansion personally went out of the mountain, led the Ningjia army of 100,000, from Ningshan Mansion out of the Daimyo Mansion, went to Xuzhou, the military department sent 100,000 troops, worshiped Jingzhao Mansion Yin Gaoyu as the commander, led the army of 100,000 troops to Xuzhou, no accident, about 15 days can reach Xuzhou, the army is one, a total of 200,000 horses, not a day to go south.

After reading the news, Fang La was silent for a moment and asked slowly, "Is this true?" ”

Deng Yuanjue arched his hand and said: "It's true, this matter is well known in Yingtianfu and Daimyo's Mansion, our people have had several twists and turns, and spent a lot of money to get accurate news, six hundred miles to send the letter out in an urgent manner, and arrived in Jinling early this morning, that is, this morning, the army of Ningshan Mansion was pulled out, although it was not Ning Que out of the mountain, but he had a penny and two sons, nor was it a fuel-efficient lamp, and he listened to Ning without regrets in Chengdu, her eldest brother Ning Yuanwen, full of economy, the length of time and Ning Que's deduction of the art of war, on par, the second brother Ning Yuanwu, is a pear flower gun, as far as his father has passed on, and the odds of winning are only thirty percent, and his kung fu can be seen, and they were all three years ago. It's just that this time, for some reason, Ning is missing, but his two children are out of the mountain, although the time has not yet been decided, it should not be too far away. ”

Fang La's brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything else.

Ning Que, the man who swept through the southwest twenty years ago, twenty years have passed, and mentioning his name still makes the blood of many people who practice martial arts boil, he is like a bright lamp, hanging high in the air, making people look up.

Twenty years ago, there was a rebellion in the southwest, and a Turkic army secretly assisted, and swept through the southwest in half a year, approaching Chengdu.

Ning Que led the troops to quell the chaos, at that time it was just a small five-grade general, with 5,000 men and horses, all the way to the southwest jungle, the Turkic troops launched a sneak attack, there were 10,000 people, and the southwest tribes added up to a total of 25,000 men and horses, fierce battle for more than a month, Ning Que led 800 cavalry to break through, and then crossed the jungle, directly scattered the tribal royal court, captured three tribal leaders, brought back to Chengdu, half a month's journey, actually walked a month and a half, 800 cavalry to Chengdu, only 36 people.

Five thousand against twenty-five, and even more Turkic cavalry 10,000, deep in the jungle, the time and place are at a disadvantage, and they can turn defeat into victory, and when the army reaches the level, he comes back alive with thirty-six cavalry and three leaders.

It is said that when the leader saw Ning Que's eyes, it was like seeing a demon in the hell of his ears and nose, and one of them was so frightened by Ning Que's glance that he became incontinent, and he peed his pants on the spot, no one knew what they had experienced, and no one knew how they did it.

Chengdu Mansion for seven days, Ning Que was promoted to three levels, the second deputy general of the official residence, and then in the next ten years, the town guarded the frontier, several times thwarted the Turkic invaders, and worshiped the prime minister, until the battle of Heishui, the mother died of illness at home, and went home to guard filial piety for three years, that Ningshan gradually became Ningshan Mansion, and the land of the six states under the jurisdiction of the government was also under the jurisdiction of Ning Que, and all of this was the emperor's grace......

said so, but at that time, there were rumors in the southwest that Ning Que supported the army and respected himself, and the reasons for this are unknown......

Seeing that Fang La was distracted, Lu Qinghou arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, don't disturb, there are pros and cons here, and it is a matter of time before you confront them, since they are here, let them have no return." ”

Fang La's thoughts were pulled back by Lu Qinghou, and he nodded at the dragon case and said, "So, the military advisor has a good strategy?" ”

Lu Qinghou said: "I don't dare to use a good strategy, but I thought about it on the road, this matter is not unsolvable, Ning Que is powerful, but it was also twenty years ago, and now Ning Que is already sixty years old, is it really like Zhao Zilong?" The land of the southwest frontier does not need to be Chengdu, and His Majesty must know what it is like to guard there for ten years. Although it is said that the tiger father has no dog son, but there were Zhao Kuo and Ma Jian in ancient times, and today it is not necessarily that Ning Yuanwen and Ning Yuanwu will not follow in the footsteps, this is one of them. ”

"Second, judging from the battle report, this army is not only one of Ningshan Mansion, but also the 100,000 soldiers brought by Yin Gaoyu of Jingzhao Mansion, the relationship between the Great Xia Dynasty and Ningshan Mansion may not be as good as we imagined, the integration of the soldiers, who has the final say, it is not yet known, one is hand-picked by Emperor Shenwu, and the other is the son of Ning Que, hehe, it is not a fist, so it may not be able to clench tightly."

Deng Yuanjue said: "Having said that, but after all, it is 200,000 people, and when they arrive in Xuzhou on the 15th, then Chuzhou will bear the brunt, Si Xing dialect, it only takes two days to take Chuzhou, after taking it, do you want to go north?" ”

Lu Qinghou said: "This matter has to be decided by His Majesty, these days the people of the rivers and lakes have defected to my Yongle Dynasty, and all families are also being absorbed, which is a good thing for us, Jinling tends to be stable, there is a strong brother in the rear, and the matter of grain and grass should be no big problem, Huzhou, Hengzhou, Yuanzhou, Jianzhou are a total of eight states, and there are many places in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"I already know about this matter, Rong Zhen thinks about it a thing or two, these things have to wait for the news of Chuzhou and Luzhou, and then make a decision, if it is taken within three days, it is to stick to Chuzhou, if there is a mistake in the battle ahead, the focus is still on Jinling." Fang La said: "You go down and prepare first, this matter will be with Fang Jie and Fang Xiang Prophet, let them prepare, in addition, Jin Zhi is almost here, you should also pay attention, after you arrive, you will be directly brought to the palace, so as not to cause any more trouble, this matter is taught not to regret it, she is still more reliable." ”

"Yes......" Lu Qinghou surrendered.

After the two left, Nangong Wanfang walked out of the tent, and pressed her slender jade finger on Fang La's temple: "The Holy Father is so hard, Wan'er will rub it for you." ”

Fang La didn't speak, let Nangong Wan move, and after a long time, Fang asked, "Wan'er, what do you say I should do?" ”

Nangong Wan smiled and leaned into Fang La's ear: "I don't dare to say it, if it's not what I said, wouldn't it be a big deal to ruin the Holy Father?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Fang La patted Nangong Wan's hand and smiled: "The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and they will also listen to your opinions for reference, and you will be not guilty." ”

Nangong Wan's eyes rolled, she no longer had the independent momentum of the Nangong family, but like a little woman, delicate and harmless to people and animals, she turned around and squatted in front of Fang La and said, "Then I can say it......"

Fang La smiled: "Say, there is no one else here, God knows you and I know." ”

Nangong Wan thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's okay, I think it's okay, this war is the same as doing business, it changes rapidly, it is possible that an inadvertent decision by the other party will cause a big chain reaction, for example, the price of rice outside is high, and it costs more money to buy rice, so the money that was originally used for other purposes must be moved out first, and if other things are not bought, it will affect the seller's business, and the income will also decrease, what he wants to buy, he will also weigh it, and the cycle repeats, it seems that the price of rice has risen, But it affects everyone. ”

"Huh? Makes sense, keep talking......" Fang La nodded.

Nangong Wan continued: "Although I have never fought a war, I also feel that no matter who comes, it depends on their strength, what the military advisor said is certainly reasonable, but once the Fang family or that high or something solves this problem, the defensive strategy will have to change again, all this, there are too many variables, if I want to say, I will prepare according to the worst plan, and treat it as the military department or Ningshan Mansion, if this continues, I will know what to do, whether it is offensive or defensive, whether it is advancing or retreating, there will be fewer variables, do you want to fight? It is nothing more than two possibilities, defeat and victory, and there are too many scruples, but it restricts hands and feet. ”

"Okay, that's a good point......" Fang La clapped his hands, although Nangong Wan was talking about business, but he was a master of everything, and he immediately ordered that Nangong be a second-grade member with a hereditary official position.
