After the Lantern Festival, everything returned to normal, everywhere was quiet, and there seemed to be no war in the world.

"It's snowing again!"

Sun Lei looked at the snowy sky, this is the third snow of the new year.

"Brother, don't we need soldiers yet?"

Everyone surrounded Sun Lei, looked at the white world, and asked.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said.

"Brother, shouldn't we strike while the iron is hot!"

Pang Wanchun opened his mouth and said, now Liangshanbo is like a rainbow, which is a great opportunity for expansion.

"Last year, our Liangshanbo was already very eye-catching, and now we occupy the entire Shandong, with a sphere of influence covering 18 state capitals, with 150,000 troops, and successively defeated the Great Song Dynasty Xiang Army, the Forbidden Army, the Western Army, the Western Xia, the Liao State, and the Jin State."

"If we seize the time to expand, do you believe that Zhao Ji and those people will unite with Western Xia, Liao, and Jin to deal with us?"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, it's not a good thing to expand too fast, as Wen Huanzhang said, there are not enough officials to manage the place, and now the eighteen states are like this, and now it is one hundred and eighty states, so what should I do?

"Wouldn't it? Although the Zhao family is not a thing, it is not enough to cooperate with the enemy, right? ”

Tang Bin opened his mouth and said, there is no need to say much about the decay of the Zhao family, but face always has to be wanted, right? How can Liangshan also be "his own people", if he unites the Liao State, the Western Xia State, and the Jin State to deal with Liangshan, wouldn't he even want the face of the ancestors?

"Don't underestimate the shamelessness of those people, what can't you do if you unite with the Jin State to deal with the stupid things like the Liao State and seek the skin of the tiger?"

Sun Lei shook his head and said.

At this moment, a small boat quickly came out of the water.

"Huh?"

Sun Lei frowned and looked at the small boat, which was a little fast.

"There seems to be a situation!"

Sun Lei said silently.

"Brother, there's someone from Fang La's side!"

Zhu Gui walked up to Sun Lei and said.

"Fang La?"

Sun Lei touched his chin, Fang La can be regarded as a roller coaster this year, driving high and walking low, and now he is in a difficult situation.

"Who's coming?"

Sun Lei asked.

"It's the Hundred Flowers Holy Maiden!"

Zhu Gui said.

"Fang Baihua?"

Sun Lei's brows furrowed even more, he thought that Fang La would send Deng Yuanjue over, after all, the entire Ming Sect had a good relationship with Deng Yuanjue and Liangshan.

In the Juyi Hall, Sun Lei sat down, and Fang Baihua looked at the man in front of him, his heart was very complicated.

When she first met, she only thought that Sun Lei was a flowery disciple, but a year later, Sun Lei had conquered eighteen states, defeated strong enemies in a row, and firmly controlled the entire Shandong.

"Leader Sun!"

Fang Baihua hugged Sun Lei with a fist.

"It's the Holy Maiden of Hundred Flowers, sit!"

Sun Lei smiled and pointed to the chair on the side and said, compared with last time, Fang Baihua has darkened a lot, and his face is a lot haggard, this year should not be easy.

"Leader Sun, this is the letter of the Holy Lord of the Ming Sect!"

Fang Baihua took out a letter and handed it to Zhu Gui on the side, and Zhu Gui handed the letter to Sun Lei.

"Sect Master Fang is really polite, this Lantern Festival has passed, and the New Year's letter has just arrived."

Sun Lei said with a smile, he didn't open the letter, but he didn't need to read it to know that it wouldn't be a New Year's letter.

"I hope that Leader Sun can send troops to help me Mingjiao contain the soldiers and horses of the government!"

Fang Baihua saw that Sun Lei had misunderstood, and immediately spoke.

"Shall I help you?"

Sun Lei touched his chin and thought about it, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"Leader Sun now controls the whole of Shandong, and he only needs to send troops south from the Huaiyang Army, defeat Chuzhou and Sizhou, and approach Yangzhou!"

Fang Baihua pleaded with a face, the Huaiyang Army is the southernmost military state on Jingdong East Road, not far from Jiangnan, and Yangzhou is now the base camp of the Song Army, as long as Sun Lei threatens, the crisis in Jiangnan can be alleviated.

"Holy Daughter Fang, now that my Liangshan is under enemy on all sides, I'm afraid I won't be able to go south!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, as the so-called no profit is not early, he will not do anything without benefits.

"I'm curious, the Lingming Sect has been operating hard in Jiangnan for more than ten years, and it has also conquered the land of six states in one go, how can it not defeat the official army?"

Sun Lei looked at Fang Baihua with a smile and asked.

These words stopped Fang Baihua and didn't know how to answer.

Sun Lei just smiled, the reason was clear to him, Jiangnan was in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was impossible to face the murderous aliens, so the city walls were low, the defense was lax, and the defenders were even fewer.

Those under Fang La's subordinates were all civilians who had been oppressed for a long time, and they were full of anger, and when they were bewitched by Fang La, they burst like a powder keg in an instant, sweeping the entire Jiangnan.

But after all, this can't change the problem of the source of troops under Fang La, burning, killing and looting, from the very beginning of killing officials and killing rich people, it has gradually evolved into killing people when they see them, and robbing them when they see them, which makes Jiangnan angry and resentful.

At first, a large number of ordinary people were afraid of Mingjiao, and they would take the initiative to cling to protect themselves, but with the arrival of the imperial court, Mingjiao was defeated repeatedly, and the common people quickly made a choice, Mingjiao lost the most important people's hearts, and the defeat was decided.

"Leader Sun! Are you really reluctant to send troops? ”

Fang Baihua looked at Sun Lei, Mingjiao is in danger now, now that the New Year's Festival has passed, the Great Song Dynasty will soon launch a strong attack, and now Mingjiao's vitality is greatly damaged, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop.

"Let me think about this matter, Fang Shengnu came from afar, she worked hard all the way, let's go rest first!"

Sun Lei looked at Fang Baihua Dao, Pang Qiuxia walked over and took Fang Baihua out of the Justice Hall.

"Mingjiao is self-inflicted! Nowadays, Mingjiao has long deviated from the teachings of the past, and there is no meaning of salvation in this situation. ”

Xiao Jiasui shook his head and said, the teachings of the Ming Sect are very good, and the earliest believers are also pious enough, but in the later period, Fang La was eager for quick success and recruited too many chaotic people, and now the Ming Sect has long been out of Fang La's control.

"But we can't sit idly by! Now the eunuch Tan Zhi is in command of an army of 100,000, with Wang Yu and Liu Zhen as generals, and it should be a large-scale southward soon! ”

Li Zhu opened his mouth and said, although Fang La is not a good thing, they can't sit idly by.

"Now, Huaixi Wang Qing has surrendered Tong Guan! Hedong Tianhu surrendered to Liao! The only four forces that rebelled together were us and Fang La. If Fang La is destroyed, the imperial court will be able to deal with us with all its might! ”

Li Zhu added.

"But if we rescue Fang La, we have some enemies on all sides, and the Jin Kingdom side will do it soon, and that side is really in trouble!"

Xu Guanzhong frowned and said, compared to the Jurchen army, the Great Song army horse is really nothing.

"Let's go to the Huaiyang Army first, even if we don't save Fang La, we have to take the opportunity to get some benefits!"

Sun Lei thought for a while before he spoke, Fang La, he is really too lazy to save, a god stick with a group of villains, what is worth saving? But it's still okay to take advantage of it.

"Brother, I'll go!"

Lu Zhishen opened his mouth and said, he was not interested in rescuing Fang La, but he wanted to see if he could save Deng Yuanjue, the great monk.
