…

There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people; There are a thousand people, covering the clouds and the sky; There are 10,000 people, boundless; There are 100,000 people, and the earth is full of heaven.

And the people brought by Fang La, even if there are not a million, there are hundreds of thousands.

Let's not talk about anything else, just the momentum of this black and black black is shaking the sky and the earth, like locusts crossing the border.

Fang La was ready to use such momentum to make Jiang Hongfei retreat, give him the two Zhejiang, and then roll back to Yierwa.

In the face of Fang La's coercion, the gate of Hangzhou was opened, and then the back army, the white army, the enemy army, the guerrilla army, the Xuanfeng army, the Tiefutu front army (controlled by Bian Xiang), the Tiefutu rear army (controlled by Hu Yanzhuo), the Ma Seventh Army, and the pro-guard army rushed out.

Next is the Zhennan Second Army, the Zhennan Third Army, the Zhennan Fifth Army, the Zhennan Sixth Army, the Zhennan Seventh Army, and the Zhennan Eighth Army in addition to the Zhennan First Army that stayed in Hangzhou City and the Zhennan Fourth Army that stayed in Jiangzhou.

In total, Jiang Hongfei led 27,000 horse troops and 30,000 infantry troops, a total of less than 60,000 horses came out to show their muscles.

Judging from the number of people alone, the people brought out by Jiang Hongfei were less than one-tenth of the army led by Fang La.

But as long as people who know a little bit about the army see that Jiang Hongfei's men and horses are all equipped with the forbidden army of Zhao and Song, they know that the two armies are not of the same magnitude at all.

What's more, there are nearly 30,000 horse troops in Jiang Hongfei's army.

If used properly, one horse army can even reach ten infantry troops.

What frightened Fang La the most was that Jiang Hongfei also had the luxury of 6,000 heavy cavalry.

This thing is definitely a nightmare for infantry in this world, let alone six thousand, maybe six hundred can decide the outcome of a battle.

Let's look at the Fang La Righteous Army.

There are quite a few people.

But in fact, there were less than 300,000 Qi Refiners in Fang La's army.

In other words, the remaining hundreds of thousands are civilians who can carry things and fight auxiliaries, and they have no combat power at all.

And it is these less than 300,000 qi refiners, some of whom have newly joined the Fangla Righteous Army, they don't even have a weapon at hand, just take a kitchen knife or a hoe, and use it as a weapon.

Even the elite of the elite under Fang La's subordinates is only the 10,000 elites equipped with the equipment of Cai Zun and Yan Tan's armies and the equipment of the army in Guo Shizhong, which is slightly insufficient compared with the worst army under Jiang Hongfei.

Ma?

Fang La was barely able to muster three thousand qi refiners who could ride horses, and equipped them with the one thousand spirit horses that Jiang Hongfei gave him and the miscellaneous horses that he captured, as for whether they could fight or not, it was hard to say.

Let's put it this way, don't look at the people brought out by Jiang Hongfei are far less than the army brought by Fang La, but if the two sides really fight now, there is a chance that Fang La will lose.

It wasn't until this moment that Fang La knew why the world said that Jiang Hongfei, who had never been inconspicuous, was the head of the four great Kou.

Seeing Jiang Hongfei's strength, Chen Hoop immediately said to Fang La: "Holy Father, we can only outwit, we must not be defeated!" ”

Wang Gong Lao Buddha also reminded Fang La: "His infantry army is better, and the murderous spirit is not too heavy, but his horse army has a killing atmosphere, and it must be the elite of a hundred battles, and it is a strong soldier in the world, and our army is difficult to beat." ”

With the well-informed Chen Hoop bucket and Wang Gong Lao Buddha reminding, Fang La didn't dare to compare with Jiang Hongfei.

At this moment, Jiang Hongfei said: "Brother is so busy, I asked you to come and see, I waited for you to be two months younger, you really taught me to wait." ”

Fang Lalang said: "Oh, Brother Jiao Xian has waited for so long, Brother Wei really can't go, but the people in western Zhejiang have long been unbearable to the dark rule of Zhao Song, and the letter for help was sent to Brother Wei like snowflakes. ”

Jiang Hongfei said leisurely: "It's okay if you miss meeting me, but you missed the fighter, but it was because of a small loss." ”

“？”

Fang La didn't understand, what did Jiang Hongfei mean?

Fang La didn't guess randomly, but asked bluntly: "What does Brother Xian mean by this?" ”

Jiang Hongfei didn't answer and asked: "Brother really wants me to talk about this in front of the two armies?" ”

"If the king does not secret, he loses his ministers, if the ministers do not secret, he loses his body, and if he does not secret, he will become harmful", Fang La still understands.

If Jiang Hongfei said something that would affect the morale of the army, and let his rabble scatter like birds and beasts, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Fang La said: "Otherwise, you and I will spread the voice? ”

Jiang Hongfei said noncommittally: "You and I should go for a walk?" ”

Fang Fei immediately reminded Fang La on the side: "Be careful of deception. ”

Fang La thought so.

In the past, it was nothing for him to meet Jiang Hongfei alone, because the two had no conflict of interest at that time.

But now it's different, now Jiang Hongfei occupies most of the two Zhejiang regions, he occupies the two big states in western Zhejiang and the only way to go to western Zhejiang, the two are the two largest forces in the southeast, if he kills Jiang Hongfei, then he can dominate the southeast, vice versa.

Let's put it this way, now that Jiang Hongfei has been promoted to Fang La's number one threat, Fang La treats others with himself, and feels that he is also a thorn in Jiang Hongfei's side, and Jiang Hongfei will get rid of him quickly.

Therefore, in the face of Jiang Hongfei's invitation, Fang La did not reply for a long time, and planned to deal with this matter with a procrastination decision.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei said with some interest: "Then you send two people to talk to my subordinates." ”

After speaking, Jiang Hongfei didn't wait for Fang La's reply, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Obviously, Jiang Hongfei was unhappy, and he didn't even give Fang La the last bit of face.

In this regard, many people in the Fang La Yijun can understand.

Jiang Hongfei made an appointment with Fang La in mid to late December, and Jiang Hongfei specially said to Fang Yuan, who was the messenger: "I declare first, I can stop, but I have to tell Brother Fang La, teach him to come to Hangzhou quickly, the two of us have a good discussion, how to fight later, I have a hunch that the Song army is about to go south, we have to quickly block the Yangtze River, otherwise Brother Fang La will have a battle in the future." ”

As a result, Fang La dragged on until mid-January to meet.

Some people may say that from mid-to-late December to mid-January, this is less than a month, and Fang La is coming quickly, right?

What the hell is that?

This year is leap December.

In other words, Fang La dragged on for two months before he came to see Jiang Hongfei.

If you want to say, Fang La's coming later will be later.

But Fang La still took nearly a million troops to the city of Hangzhou.

What does Fang La want to do? Jiang Hongfei didn't say it, but how could he not know?

Now, Jiang Hongfei doesn't care about his past suspicions, he wants to talk openly and honestly with Fang La, and Fang La is still there to push back and forth.

This is undoubtedly the last bit of cheek between Jiang Hongfei and Fang La.

Shouldn't Jiang Hongfei give Fang La a face?

Fang La also knew that he had done some inauthentic things.

The key is that Fang Laman thought that with his current strength, he could deter Jiang Hongfei.

But the result is that his current strength is still not enough for Jiang Hongfei.

So what to do? Fang La can only pretend to be a grandson first.

Fang La comforted herself: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." ", and then sent Fang Yuan and Chen Hoop, who had a good relationship with Jiang Hongfei, to see Jiang Hongfei.

However, what made Fang Yuan and Chen Hoop Bucket smile bitterly was that Jiang Hongfei, who had been talking very well before, did not see them at all this time, but sent Wu Yong and Lu Jiang to meet them.

As soon as they met, General Lu said straight to the point with Tie Qing'er's face: "My lord has received clear news, the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts have appointed Tong Guan as the Xuanfu envoy, Tan Zhi as the control envoy, and Liu Yanqing as the commander of the capital, leading the forbidden army and 150,000 Han soldiers from the six roads of Shaanxi to go south in a few days. And this is still the first batch of people from Zhao Song to the south. The Zhao and Song courts also planned to mobilize more men and horses to the south, a total of hundreds of thousands of horses, and marched to Liangzhejiang together. ”

"What ?!!!"

Fang Yuan and Chen Hoop Bucket were all shocked to the point of being beyond comprehension!

Then Fang Yuan asserted: "This is absolutely impossible! Even if the guards can't withstand the pressure and report in time, the court will report, gather and discuss, mobilize the army, and allocate food and salary, it will take a lot of time, how can the army be sent out so quickly?! ”

Lu Jiang scoffed: "Is it fast?" Since the uprising in early October, more than four months have passed now, and Zhao Song is a normal troop transfer, and he can also send out a large army? And you have calculated everything, but you haven't calculated, Zhao Song is ready to send a large army north to Lianjin to destroy Liao at the beginning of this year to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the 150,000 troops together with grain, grass, and baggage have already gathered in Beijing's Daimyo's Mansion, and they can set off at any time! Everything is your own wisdom and misleading others! ”

Lu Jiang has reason to be angry.

Originally, Jiang Hongfei had already led a large army north to capture Jinling, preparing to lock the Yangtze River.

But Fang La's gang out of selfishness, with the threat of civil strife at the expense of breaking out, forced Jiang Hongfei to stop in Suzhou, and did not allow Jiang Hongfei to continue to go north.

If it's just that, forget it, but after they stopped Jiang Hongfei, they were still dragging their feet there, not locking the vital Yangtze River themselves.

The key is that in this process, Jiang Hongfei has urged Fang La and his gang countless times.

But it's okay that Jiang Hongfei didn't urge, the more Jiang Hongfei urged, the more Fang La and his gang ignored Jiang Hongfei's words.

The great advantages were all delayed by Fang La's gang.

Now, the decision-making level of Shuibo Liangshan has made a decision to abandon the Liangzhejiang region, which will inevitably become the main battlefield, and retreat to Fuzhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Liangzhejiang region is the hometown of Lu Jiang.

If so, who would want to give up their hometown?

But as a person with a view of the overall situation, Lu Jiang understands that there is a certain reason for the decision-making level of Shuibo Liangshan to make this decision.

If the Liangshan army fought with the official army in front, no one dared to guarantee that Fang La and their gang of-stirring sticks would not dismantle the stage behind their backs, and even more, what if Fang La and them accepted the recruitment of the Zhao and Song courts?

In short, if Shuibo Liangshan does not withdraw from the two Zhejiang regions, the variables are too great.

Therefore, the decision-making level of Shuibo Liangshan will make the decision to cede Liangzhejiang to Fang La.

In this way, Shuibo Liangshan will have more strategic space and room for maneuver.

After reacting for a moment, Chen Hoop confirmed with Wu Yong and Lu Jiang: "Is this true? ”

Wu Yong said leisurely: "You can not believe it. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Hoop Bucket figured out that there was no need for Shuibo Liangshan to deceive them.

Crucially, this will soon be confirmed.

After all, if according to what Wu Yong and General Lu said, then the vanguard of the Song army is only afraid that it will soon reach the Yangtze River.

Chen Hoop Bucket stabilized his mind and asked, "What are your family's plans?" ”

Wu Yong said bluntly: "My father-in-law gives your family two ways to go." ”

Chen hoop bucket said: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Wu Yong didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "First, your family is merged into my family, and your holy father will come to my Shuibo Liangshan to be a three-in-command, and when my lord wins the world in the future, he will give your holy father a king, and at that time, how to resist the attack of the Song army, you don't have to worry about it, you can just follow orders." ”

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei's first way to Fang La, it turned out to be to annex Fang La, and looking like this, it was still the kind of complete annexation.

Chen Hoop Bucket didn't need to ask Fang La, and he knew that Fang La, who had been dreaming of being an emperor, would definitely not accept such a condition.

So Chen Hoop asked, "What about the second way?" ”

Jiang Hongfei has already discussed with Wu Yong, Liu Huiniang, and General Lu, if Shuibo Liangshan can really annex Fang La's forces, Shuibo Liangshan is not unable to change the overall strategy, you know, this southeast is also one of the four corners, and its geographical location is even better than the place of the four wars in Hebei, and Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world from here.

It's a pity that the southeast is the area where Fangla and them rely for survival, if they refuse to cooperate, Shuibo Liangshan will not be able to easily control the southeast, in case of another war between the two families, it can only be cheap Zhao Song Dynasty.

Therefore, seeing that Chen Hoop Bucket, who is so wise on weekdays, does not consider this first way, Wu Yong can't help but feel a little regretful!

Wu Yong took a deep breath and said: "The second way is that your family will pay 100 million yuan to buy all the prefectures and counties that my family has laid down here in the southeast, and my family will retreat to Fujian and give the battlefield to your family." ”

Jiang Hongfei's second path to Fang La made Fang Yuan and Chen Hoop's eyes light up.

Fang Yuan immediately bargained: "This hundred million yuan is too ......"

Without waiting for Fang Yuan to finish speaking, Wu Yong said, "What? Too expensive? In that case, my family will give your family 100 million yuan, and your family will sell Muzhou and Shezhou that your family defeated to my family, and the whole army will retreat to Fujian. How is it? ”

During the Anti-Japanese War, Fujian had the name of "an indisputable place for soldiers", mainly because it was neither a grain-producing area, nor an important economic town, nor a military town.

China's grain-producing areas are mainly concentrated in the Northeast Plain, East China Plain, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, the Guanzhong Plain, and the Chengdu Plain.

These places are all plains and have a wide arable area, so they are the primary objects of contention for the Japanese army invading China.

More than 90 percent of Fujian's territory is hilly and mountainous, known as eight mountains, one water and one field, and the arable area is very small.

The area of cultivated land determines the economic development and the number of population, and the special landform of Fujian leads to the fact that the economy and population are not prominent during the anti-Japanese period.

As for its military significance, Fujian's geographical location determines that it does not belong to a battleground for soldiers - its interests are relatively little involved.

-- The aggressive purpose of the Japanese army invading China is very strong, and the reason for occupying Northeast China is that Northeast China has an industrial base, is a major grain producing area, and has a vast land and abundant resources, and can use this as a springboard to covet China. After that, the land targeted by the invading Japanese army was the economic center, such as some economic centers in the Central Plains and the south. Or it is a major metallurgical province, such as Jiangxi or Hunan. Or for strategic purposes, to open up the mainland lines of communication or something. Fujian during the Anti-Japanese War was not included in this list, so the Japanese army did not divide troops to attack Fujian.

Gu Zuyu, a geographer of the Qing Dynasty, once commented on Fujian: "If Fujian fights for the world, Fujian's troops and money and food are not enough to achieve this goal." ”

This can be said to be a good summary of Fujian.

Let Fang La give up the rich and well-developed Liangzhejiang region, go to the dead place in Fujian, and kill Fang La, Fang La will definitely not go.

And Shuibo Liangshan is willing to give 100 million to the two military prefectures of Muzhou and Shezhou, if they are unwilling to give 100 million to the nine military prefectures and more than 100 counties occupied by Shuibo Liangshan, it is really unreasonable.

Fang Yuan hurriedly pulled the words back and said, "It's not that your family's more than 100 counties in the nine military states are not worth 100 million, it's just that my family has only conquered two military states and less than 20 counties, how can there be so much spiritual money, you see, can we go and discuss with the Great Sage and ask him to be accommodating?" ”

Wu Yong said: "No matter how little, is it worthy of such a large piece of rich and developing territory? ”

After a pause, Wu Yong said again: "It's better to go back and talk to your Holy Father, what if he is willing to sell Muzhou and Shezhou for 100 million?" ”
