Mystery Makes Me Strong

Even if there were big cities, they could not defend them, and they were all taken down by the enemy.

The reason was that he rose too fast, and the local gentry did not recognize him.

Although the local poor recognized him, the gentry's hearts were still unstable.

As long as the other side said that surrender would not be killed, it would be easy for the local big families to have their minds wavering.

This is the fundamental failure.

The history books will simply say that there was no support from the landlords, but they will not say what happened in detail.

In fact, the landlords and gentry took advantage of the situation. When they saw that Li Zicheng was not doing well, they immediately killed the local officials appointed by Li Zicheng and surrendered to the strong.

Fang La naturally could not think of these before.

So he had no choice but to fail.

After hearing this, the others also bowed their heads.

At this time, the senior stood up and said:

"Humph, you idiots, there is a perfect strategy for you, but you don't use it."

"Now you are about to die, what else do you want to say?"

"Now, I will execute you!"

"I have finished speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"

Wen Rensheng just watched and smiled.

The other two newcomers followed suit and cursed:

"You fools, we advised you not to provoke direct hostility from the Song Dynasty if you set up an ambush in the mountains first."

"The Song thieves are about to march north, and they will be in trouble soon."

"You just can't bear it, and you want to go down the mountain to attack the city, and then eat, drink and have fun."

This is the new man kicking Fang Fei, who was the most arrogant before.

He kicked him to the ground and then stepped on his face.

"Just like you drunkards, you also want to seize the world?"

"It's ridiculous, and you still call yourself a general and a protector, you are really learning to walk by imitating others!"

"If you can seize the world, what do you think of Liu Bang and Li Yuan, these powerful people?"

"First, you don't know the weather, second, you don't know the people, and third, you don't know the terrain. You don't know the weather, the terrain, and the people, and you think you can succeed in the rebellion just by relying on your muddle-headed, supernatural things. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous."

At this time,

Fang La said painfully: "In this case, kill me quickly, take my head and exchange it for your wealth!"

It must be said that after Fang La failed, at least his bones were still relatively tough.

Of course, he must know that if he chose to surrender, the other party would not recognize him and would only kill him.

Since ancient times, the leader of the rebels must die, and the subordinates can surrender.

I have never heard of a few leaders who can surrender and have a good end.

It is better to put on a hard-bone frame.

So that future generations can admire.

"You are a hard-bone, I will not kill you, but these bastards under your subordinates should be killed."

"Not enough to do things, but more than enough to do things wrong."

"Come on, push these people out and kill them!" The senior said coldly.

Then the guards pushed all the Fang family members out directly.

"Damn it, you really colluded with the Song people!"

"Haha, there is a saying that goes, if the other party says you are colluding with the enemy, you'd better really collude with others, and if the other party says you want to rebel, you'd better really have the ability to rebel."

"And you must dare to rebel, so that you can save your life."

"Blindly insisting on explaining your own behavior and praying for the opponent's forgiveness is the most stupid behavior."

Neither the senior nor Wen Rensheng would do this.

After dealing with the Fang family, Fang La was placed under house arrest.

Wen Rensheng then arranged for other people.

Turn them into labor.

These people will not be killed.

The hundreds of people brought by Fang La were soon stripped of their armor and weapons and locked in a row of stone houses at the back.

At the same time, people were sent to persuade them.

"The current failure is all caused by Fang Fei, the traitor."

"He was next to the Holy Lord, and saw that the situation was not good, so he colluded with the Song thieves."

Wen Rensheng directly threw the dirty water back.

"So that's why we lost so quickly."

"He is incompetent, but he wants to blame others."

Soon, Wen Rensheng selected more than 100 available people from hundreds of people.

The reason why these people followed him up the mountain was that they were all destroyed by the Song Dynasty.

There was only one person left in the family.

The bitterness was deep and the hatred was deep.

Of course, most people chose to endure this kind of suffering.

They were organized by Fang La, so they were willing to resist.

This is the reality.

No matter how great the hatred and suffering, 90% of people are unwilling to resist.

They are just dry wood, and they will not become a raging fire before they are ignited and fueled.

However, as long as someone leads, someone coerces, and someone persuades, they are willing to serve.

Wen Rensheng continued to get new news from the capital.

The official of the Song Dynasty, that is, Song Huizong later, was very happy at this time.

Because the day of destroying Liao is coming soon.

After hearing that Fang La was defeated and fled to the mountains.

He also ordered the Song army to start moving most of the troops away.

Especially the elite border troops were moved away, leaving only a part of the imperial guards and the local garrison troops.

This part of the army only had 50,000 troops left.

Of course, this included the porters and logistics personnel.

The real combat soldiers were only 30,000.

Obviously in their eyes, Fang La was no longer a dangerous person.

It could be pacified in just a few months.

This was because Fang La was defeated too quickly.

This was also the case in history.

It seemed that the situation was very good, but in fact, they were defeated very quickly.

Not long after, they got the news again.

The Song army offered 300,000 strings of cash to reward Fang La and the heads of the main criminals.

And they gave him a lucrative job as a local transport envoy.

The transport envoy was an official who was responsible for transporting money, grain, cloth, and salt to important strongholds.

At the beginning, he naturally had real power.

Of course, with the virtue of checks and balances in the Song Dynasty, a deputy was added to this important position to restrain it.

In short, a position of real power has at least three officials with similar names to deal with and restrain it.

This is the method invented by the old Zhao family.

The lack of confidence can be said to be engraved in the bones.

Of course, Wen Rensheng would not do this.

He just cut off the heads of those who suspected him and sold them in exchange for 50,000 strings of cash.

After all, the main task is to let Fang La persist.

Soon a general of the imperial army was responsible for finding Fang La and killing him.

He led a group of soldiers and began to enter the mountains along the road that Fang La escaped last time.

The big reward is still very useful.

Some of Wen Rensheng's men also betrayed.

After all, they can't use skills.

They can only use physical and mental attributes.

The number of people led by this imperial army general is 8,000.

The others were placed outside the mountain to guard the camp.

He first let a part of the Xiang army take the lead, and these people were naturally easy to deal with.

Because they, like Fang La's people, are composed of refugees.

Even with some weapons, they are no match at all.

When they came to the narrow sky, Wen Rensheng directly ordered the people guarding the narrow sky to climb up the cliff and throw stones down.

Just throwing a few stones, those Xiang soldiers screamed and fled.

At this time.

After the imperial army generals behind learned about the situation in front, they checked the terrain and immediately ordered everyone to stop attacking.

Instead, he immediately sent people to bribe local hunters and herbalists to let them explore other roads.

Then he tried to send elite spies to climb the mountains on both sides.

As a result, there were people waiting on the mountain, and they just had to use stones and wood to hit them.

No matter how elite the scouts were, they could not resist the stones on the top when climbing.

This is target shooting.

Without any ability to fight back, morale quickly dropped to 0.

So the general of the imperial army had to order a retreat.

He wanted to see if there were other roads that could lead to a roundabout way into the mountain.

This general of the imperial army was also a man who knew about military affairs.

As a result, they spent a full half a month.

Only then did they begin to simply explore the local terrain.

In the end, they found that this place was too dangerous.

It can be said that in addition to the narrow gap where large troops can pass, there are indeed several mountain roads around that people can walk.

But there are very few people who can walk.

And the terrain is very steep.

The other side only needs to send 10 people to block the place.

The general of the imperial army also has a way.

He immediately said: "You should take the silver, official uniforms, and official seals immediately, and tell them that as long as they are willing to surrender, they will kill Fang La."

"These things are theirs."

It must be said that their hand was originally very strong.

Many people will be shaken.

But for Wen Rensheng, these methods are not effective at all.

Because Wen Rensheng took advantage of Fang La's appeal on the one hand, and added his own training on the other hand.

At the same time, he carefully told them that the Song Dynasty would inevitably end in the future.

Wen Rensheng also analyzed the overall situation of power for them.

How can soldiers have combat effectiveness?

When soldiers are clear in their minds, know the overall situation, and know where their interests are, their initiative will become very high.

The biggest difference between feudal armies and modern armies is that soldiers do not understand the situation.

They have no initiative because they don't understand why they are fighting.

And now Wen Rensheng tells them that you are fighting for your descendants.

Only after defeating the Song army, then holding on, and grabbing a piece of land, can you truly own the land, glorify your ancestors, and pass on the family line.

It's so simple.

As for the righteousness of the dish, what is serving the country, it's all false.

In the eyes of these soldiers, the most obvious benefit is to divide the land.

Then he cited some examples of being killed after being recruited.

Even after this training, dozens of people still defected.

However, the defectors were either killed or did not provide any useful information to the generals of the imperial guards after they ran back.

After all, Wen Rensheng attached great importance to the confidentiality of confidential information.

Different people have different levels of access to secrets.

Unlike Fang La before, many secrets can also be accessed by servants.

Many people have no concept of confidentiality.

After all the hard work of the imperial guards, they got nothing and were immediately furious.

Then he ordered to start to surround the entire mountain from other places.

He ordered his subordinates to divide into several teams and make a big detour.

But this detour is too difficult, the mountains are long.

It will take several months to surround.

Historically, Fang La has never been prepared for defense in the mountains.

They just hid in the mountain stream after their failure.

The mountain stream was some mountain strongholds set up before he started the rebellion.

Although it is relatively hidden, the defense is not strong.

After a hundred elite soldiers go up, it can be broken.

Adding temptation and betrayal, Fang La was easily caught.

In fact, as long as the army is determined to attack and defend, these bandits who go up the mountain often cannot hold on for too long.

The reason is also very simple. There are too many things missing in the mountain.

The first is the lack of salt.

There is no salt in the mountain.

You can't hold on for a long time.

Unless you find rock salt.

For this, Wen Rensheng has established a recycling method for eating salt.

He started by hoarding a large amount of salt, and then built a recycling salt extraction device: I won't go into details if you know it.

The second is that there are no herbs and no cloth.

The third is that there is no food.

These three difficulties make it difficult for the bandits to hold on for a long time.

So they often collude with the big families at the foot of the mountain.

Once the army is besieged, they will escape in time.

Leave some miscellaneous bandits and let the government kill them for merit.

Once the entire mountain is trapped, as long as the army is willing to hold on, the bandits will not be able to hold on.

The key is that the army cannot hold on because of logistics problems.

It cost too much money.

So when facing bandits, the court often let them go and only let the local officials suppress them appropriately to maintain the situation.

Just like when the Ming Dynasty suppressed the rebellion in the Tusi area in the southwest, it cost 200,000 people with only tens of thousands of local soldiers, and it took five or six years and tens of millions of military pay.

Only under such circumstances can it be truly suppressed.

In fact, it is also because the Tusi did not have enough room for maneuver.

This trick will not work against the Later Jin.

The Later Jin also has a large rear area, which can obtain manpower and food, as well as escape space.

Then, under the personal command of Wen Rensheng, the generals of the imperial army were defeated repeatedly.

Either they were ambushed, set on fire, or bribed.

They made him exhausted.

They could not defend against the opponent at all.

This left him with no way out for a while.

But his delay in retreating was a bit of a hindrance to Wen Rensheng, after all, his development was also limited.

And at this time.

Suddenly someone gave the general an idea.

"General, we can't catch the real Fang La, we can use the fake Fang La to replace him."

"Anyway, there are only a group of bandits in there."

"We will say that they pretended to be Fang La, but in fact the real Fang La has been killed by us."

"In this way, their morale will definitely drop, and we will also have an explanation to the court."

The general of the imperial army suddenly realized when he heard this.

He was also afraid of being blamed by the court.

Why hasn't Fang La, who only had a few hundred people left, been caught yet?

You should know that the Song Dynasty was very harsh on military generals.

If there was a little mistake, they would be caught and beaten to death.

There were many generals who were wrongly accused for this.

Therefore, many generals simply surrendered to Jin and Mongolia.

"That's right, do it right away."

Then they found a man who looked very similar to Fang La in Fang La's hometown.

They then poisoned the other party and made him mute, and they were very skilled in killing the innocent and claiming credit.

Then they made a big fuss and sent this man all the way to the capital to report their merits.

At the same time, they sent people to convey a message to the mountains.

Tell them: "Your Saint, Fang La, has been killed!"

"Don't insist on it!"

Several reincarnations couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

"Good fellow, these NPCs are really smarter than each other."

"Yeah, they can't beat us, so they use fake ones to replace us."

The real Fang La was also shocked when he heard it.

"Damn, I turned out to be a substitute!"

Then the general Jin Jun left 5,000 troops to guard outside the thin line of sky to prevent the real Fang La from coming out.

They set up a large camp in the local area, called Sha Fangzhai.

To prevent Wen Rensheng from bringing people out.

Then they withdrew with the main force.

This was the end of the dynasty, and there were countless strange things.
