Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

After Wang Zhen withdrew into Zhenjiang City, Fang Qifu's attempt to seize Zhenjiang City was just wishful thinking.

After all, even a hundred thousand Jin troops could not take down Taiyuan City, which Wang Zhen was guarding. How could Fang La's rebel army attack Zhenjiang City, which Wang Zhen was guarding?

After fighting for three days without any sign of capturing Zhenjiang City, Fang Qifu decisively abandoned Zhenjiang and sent people to defeat Jiangning, Runzhou, and Changzhou, allowing Fang La's rebel army to gain maximum strategic space.

Wang Zhenli ignored this and insisted on holding on to Zhenjiang City and several main roads in Zhenjiang, leaving a passage for the Song army to cross the river.

The results of this victory soon spread back to Hangzhou.

Fang La was very happy to hear that Fang Qifu defeated Tan Zhen and captured Jiangning, Runzhou and Changzhou!

But when he heard that Fang Qifu failed to capture Zhenjiang City and left a passage across the river for the Song army, Fang La's smile suddenly stopped!

Although Fang La was a little self-righteous, he was not a fool. How could he not know that this meant that Fang Qifu had only achieved a staged victory. Sooner or later, the Song army would cross the river in large numbers, and the war between the two sides was unlikely to end in a short time.

Fang La knew that he had shot himself in the foot by lifting a rock, and he was responsible for all of this.

Regarding this, Fang La's intestines almost turned green with regret!

However, there is no regret in selling medicine in this world. No matter whether Fang La is willing to accept this reality or not, it can only be like this.

Fang La could only use Manichaeism to continue to expand his army and prepare for a protracted war with the Song army.

On the other hand, Fang La emptied all his warehouses and was unable to collect 20 million yuan of property for Jiang Hongfei.

With no choice, Shaw went to Fang Baihua again and asked Fang Baihua to put in a good word with Jiang Hongfei.

After Fang Baihua's mediation, Jiang Hongfei agreed to let Fang La owe the more than 80 million yuan first, then withdrew from Hangzhou with his troops and gave the city of Hangzhou to Fang La.

Finally, Jiang Hongfei also suggested that Fang La try not to engage in field battles with the Song army and instead rely on strong cities and dangerous areas to hold on.

In addition, Jiang Hongfei also made it clear that he would liberate the prefectures and counties of Zhejiang South, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, and even Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, and help Fang La completely ignite the fire of the uprising. He could safely deal with the Song Army. That's it.

Fang La wanted to stop bothering Jiang Hongfei, and he would send his own people to incite uprisings in these areas.

But Jiang Hongfei was not discussing with Fang La at all, but informing Fang La.

In this regard, Fang La, who had already fought against Song Jun, could only hold his nose and endure it. After he defeated Song Jun, he could settle the accounts with Jiang Hongfei.

In fact, while Jiang Hongfei captured Hangzhou and Fang La captured Shezhou, heroes and heroes from all over the southeast rose up to organize armed forces to respond to the coordinated uprising and combat the dark rule of the Zhao and Song Dynasties...

Lu Shinang from Xianju County, Taizhou, was a man of righteousness and wealth. He often helped the poor and responded to requests, and he had a high status in the world.

Everyone around Xianju County knows that as long as there are poor people who seek refuge with Lu Shinang, he will not refuse them regardless of their status. When people ask him for money or things, he will never shirk them. When a distinguished person comes to visit, he will treat him as a distinguished guest and treat him as a teacher and friend.

Moreover, Lu Shinang himself read poetry and books and was proficient in the art of war.

What outsiders don't know is that Lu Shinang also has another identity - the protector of Manichaeism.

At the beginning, when Fang La had just started to lead the uprising, Wang Gong Laofu asked the believers to contact Lu Shinang, and asked Lu Shinang to secretly organize the uprising in response to Fang La.

After more than forty days of full preparation, Lu Shinang led the crowd to rise up.

In just a few days, Lu Shinang formed a rebel army of tens of thousands of people.

This rebel army was victorious under the command of Lu Shinang. In the first battle, they completely annihilated the Song army led by Xianju County Lieutenant Xu Mocheng and liberated Xianju County.

Lu Shinang then announced that the year of Fangla would be named "Yongle".

Qiu Rixin, a Taoist from Yan County, Yuezhou, was also a protector of Manichaeism.

Like Lu Shinang, Qiu Rixin also received a secret letter from Wang Gong and Lao Fo when Fang La just started to lead the uprising, asking him to secretly organize an uprising to respond to Fang La and cooperate with Fang La to overthrow the dark rule of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

After full preparation, Qiu Rixin also led the Manichaeans to rise up and liberated Dongyang, Yiwu, Wuyi, Pujiang, Jinhua and other places in a short period of time.

In the Battle of Dongyang, Qiu Rixin also killed Shentu Dafang, the leader of the landlord armed forces who was famous for his bravery.

Demon King Zheng of Quzhou is the third protector of Manichaeism.

This man was a butcher, powerful, and well-known in Quzhou.

Similarly, Demon King Zheng also received a secret message from Wang Gong and Lao Fo when Fang La just started to lead the uprising, asking him to secretly organize troops to respond to Fang La and cooperate with Fang La to overthrow the dark rule of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Taking advantage of Jiang Hongfei and Fang Baihua's capture of Hangzhou and Fang La's capture of Shezhou, Demon King Zheng also led his troops to rise up and develop rapidly in Quzhou.

Chen Miaozhen, also known as Fang Shishi, from Fang Yanshan in Yongkang County, was originally a eldest lady from a famous family.

One year, there was a flood that had never happened in a century in the southeast. The Zhao and Song Dynasties not only did not open warehouses to provide food relief, but also levied various taxes. As a result, the people were in dire straits, sold their sons and daughters, became homeless, and died of hunger.

When Chen Miaozhen saw the suffering of the people, he couldn't bear it, so he secretly opened his own granary to help the victims.

Afterwards, Chen Miaozhen was afraid of being punished by her family, so she secretly ran to Fangyan Mountain alone.

There is a god and nun living on Fangyan Mountain.

After the god nun learned the reason why Chen Miaozhen went up the mountain, he felt that Chen Miaozhen had a compassionate heart and wanted to teach Chen Miaozhen everything he could.

But Chen Miaozhen didn't want to learn anything else and only loved medical skills.

Seeing this, Shen Ni did not force him, but passed on all his medical skills to Chen Miaozhen.

Unexpectedly, Chen Miaozhen is extremely talented in the field of medicine. In three or two years, he has become better than his master.

After learning medical skills, Chen Miaozhen began to go down the mountain to treat illnesses and save people under the name Chen Shishi.

In a few years, Chen Miaozhen cured not only a thousand but also eight hundred people.

People were grateful to Chen Miaozhen, so they called Chen Miaozhen the Fourteenth Empress.

Chen Miaozhen, who has been saving people everywhere these years, knows how much suffering the people in the southeast are suffering, and also knows where the suffering of the people in the southeast comes from.

Therefore, after Fang La sent a letter inviting Chen Miaozhen to join the uprising, she also felt that only by overthrowing the dark rule of the Zhao and Song dynasties could the people live a good life, so she climbed up with the support of Li De, Jiang Cai, Dong Ju and Guo Guo. call.

With the famous Chen Miaozhen taking the lead, a rebel army of more than 20,000 people was born in Yongkang County in a short period of time.

However, unlike others who rallied the rebels and then attacked the city, Chen Miaozhen didn't want to fight, nor did he know how to fight.

So Chen Miaozhen took her troops to Hangzhou to vote for Fang Baihua...

Located in Jinyun County.

Huo Chengfu and Chen Houtong are old friends.

After Chen Houtong contacted Huo Chengfu, Huo Chengfu led only six or seven people to capture Jinyun County, captured Jinyun County Lieutenant Zhan Liangchen alive, and persuaded him to surrender.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Liangchen retorted: "You don't know how to survive, but you want to do evil to me! In the past, Li Shun rebelled against Shu, Wang Lun rebelled against Huainan, and Wang Ze rebelled against Beizhou. His body was divided horizontally, and his wife was the same as him. All the young and old will be put to death. At dusk when the army arrives, you will feed the dogs and rats with your flesh."

Huo Chengfu was so angry that he killed Zhan Liangchen. Then he climbed up and shouted, and more than ten thousand people gathered...

There was also Hong Zai, who also rose up in the southern part of Chuzhou with the slogan of "stealing everyone's wealth and scattering it to raise people".

Hong Zai was very eloquent, and always said "Holy Duke" and "I am the Yongle Dynasty" when he opened his mouth. He was like a die-hard follower of Fang La and the spokesperson of the Yongle Dynasty in Chuzhou.

In addition, Hong Jae has a good reputation on weekdays.

This made Hong Zai's team grow very quickly...

In addition, Yu Dao'an of Xianju County in Taizhou, Zhu Yan of Lingshandong and Wu Bang of Lanxi County of Wuzhou also revolted.

——Not long after the uprising, Yu Daoan parted ways with Lu Shinang and went to Hangzhou to join Jiang Hongfei.

The fire of uprising has been burning rapidly and fiercely in the southeast...

However, although there were many people in the uprising, there were also many dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry who were loyal to the Zhao and Song Dynasties. They spontaneously organized to resist the various rebel armies.

However, all the rebels were trapped in the quagmire of fighting due to insufficient combat power, insufficient equipment, or lack of experience, and were unable to reinforce the Fang La rebel army for the time being.

After leaving Hangzhou, Jiang Hongfei arranged for his armies, led by Lu Zhishen, Shi Bao, Wu Yong and others, to fight for heaven in every state and county, destroying all the foundations of the Zhao and Song Dynasty in the southeast. At the same time, all the property in the southeast was swept away. Only enough food and grass was left for the rebels and the people, and the rest was taken away.

Of course Fang La didn't want to see Jiang Hongfei snatching at Southeast.

But Fang La couldn't care about Jiang Hongfei anymore.

In the first month of the third year of Xuanhe's reign, the weather in Bianliang City, Tokyo, was extremely cold.

Zhao Ji looked out the window of Chui Gong Hall and saw scattered small snowflakes floating in the sky.

Not long ago, Zhao Ji received a report that Tan Zhen, who had high hopes for him, was defeated. If Wang Zhen, recommended by Tong Guan, had not arrived in time, the Song army would have been completely driven across the Yangtze River. The current battle situation on the front line is very dangerous.

Almost all the more than a dozen states and more than 100 counties in the two Zhejiang regions fell. This has never happened since the founding of the Zhao and Song dynasties!

The key is that the southeast is the economic lifeline of the Zhao Song Dynasty. If it is really occupied by Fang La and Fang Baihua, the Zhao Song Dynasty will be unstable.

The situation in the southeast is already so tense. How can Zhao Ji think about joining forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun?

After a short discussion, Zhao Ji appointed Tong Guan as the envoy of Jiang, Huai, Jing, and Zhejiang. Tan Zhen still appointed envoys for the two Zhejiang systems, and Liu Yanqing was the governor of the capital. He led the Western army that had been assembled in Damingfu in Beijing and immediately went south to quell the war. chaos.

At the same time, at Tong Guan's request, Zhao Ji ordered Gao Qiu to mobilize 200,000 imperial guardsmen to go south with the Western Army.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ji arrived outside the city gate in a light carriage and saw Tong Guan off in person.

Before parting, Zhao Ji held Tong Guan's hand tightly: "Tong Aiqing, I will leave everything to you in the southeast. If there is an emergency, you can give orders in my name."

Zhao Ji was tantamount to handing over his imperial power to Tong Guan.

It is not difficult to see from this that Zhao Ji was really scared this time.

Tong Guan didn't say a single unnecessary word, but bowed to Zhao Ji on the ground, said "No!", then got on his horse and headed straight to the south...

Looking at Tong Guan's tall back, Zhao Ji felt worried.

Zhao Ji was a little confused. Why did the Song Dynasty, which had always been prosperous before, suddenly become turbulent? What went wrong?

Zhao Ji no longer dares to dream of regaining the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.

Now, all Zhao Ji can think about is: "Could Brother and Sister Fang La fight across the Yangtze River, reach Bianliang City in Tokyo, and overthrow me?"

Tong Guan went south and stopped only when he came to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing, Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan was not afraid of fighting, but was waiting for the army to gather and then go south together.

Tong Guan, who had already sent spies to the southeast, had actually known about Tan Zhen's defeat for a long time.

Not only did Tong Guan know it, but he also knew it in detail, as if he had experienced the battle himself.

In Tong Guan's view, although Tan Zhen committed many military taboos, this was not the main reason for Tan Zhen's failure.

The main reason for Tan Zhen's failure was that his enemies were very strong.

Therefore, Tong Guanxian followed Zhao Ji's instructions and issued orders to cancel the Su and Hangzhou production bureaus, suspend the Huashi Gang, and remove Zhu Meng's father and son from their official positions, in an attempt to weaken the fighting spirit of the rebels.

Then he ordered Xin Xingzong and Yang Weizhong to control the Xihe soldiers, Liu Zhen and Yang Keshi to control the Jingyuan soldiers, Zhao Ming to control the Huanqing soldiers, Huang Di to control the Yanyan soldiers, Magong Zhi to control the Qin Feng soldiers, and Ji Jing to control the Hedong soldiers, a total of six armies, to control Liu in the capital. Under the control of Yanqing, they were all concentrated in Yingtian Mansion, Nanjing.

At the same time, at Tong Guan's strong request before leaving, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army also sent out 200,000 forbidden troops this time, controlled by Song generals such as Guo Zhongxun and He Guan, and they also came to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing.

In addition, Tong Guan transferred all the Imperial Army, Xiang Army, and Township Army from Jingdong East Road, Jingdong East Road, and Huainan East Road to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing during the Song Dynasty.

In total, there were about 500,000 Song troops transferred to the southeast from all internal and external armies.

It was not until the end of the first month, when all the armies were almost assembled, that Tong Guan personally led the army south.

Tong Guan led these troops to the edge of the Yangtze River in a mighty manner, and was then taken to Zhenjiang by Wang Zhen and Zhe Yancun and other troops who reinforced Wang Zhen.

After Tong Guan arrived in Zhenjiang, he immediately made arrangements and divided his troops into two groups, led by Wang Zhen and Liu Zhen respectively, and marched towards Hangzhou and Shezhou...

Faced with such a severe situation, Fang La really couldn't care about Jiang Hongfei at the rear. He sent various rebel armies to take over the more than 100 counties in Kyushu that Jiang Hongfei left for him. At the same time, he vigorously promoted the teachings of Manichaeism, and adopted Chen Houtong's suggestion to publicize to the outside world: If the Zhao and Song dynasties were to regain control of the southeast, the fields and grain distributed to the people would be taken back, and the debts they had forgiven would have to be repaid. Return the principal with interest.

As soon as such news spread, the people in the southeast naturally sided with the Fang La Rebel Army and helped the Fang La Rebel Army fight against the Song Army.

Seeing this, Fang La didn't say anything, but in his heart he was extremely grateful to Jiang Hongfei.

If Jiang Hongfei hadn't wiped out all the dignitaries, wealthy families, and gentry in Jiuzhou and more than a hundred counties, Fang La's rebel army would not have been able to control these areas so easily, and this war would have been difficult to fight.

Nowadays, Fang La has at least one favorable location, one person and the right people.

So this battle still has to be fought.

After Jiang Hongfei followed the Third Water Army, the Fourth Water Army, the Sixth Water Army, and the Eighth Infantry Army to conquer Fuzhou and Quanzhou, he left the pregnant Fang Baihua to lead the Eighth Infantry Army, the Sixth Water Army, the Xuanfeng Army and other armies to sit in Fujian. .

The Third Water Army and the Fourth Water Army continued to transport property and grain under the leadership of Li Jun.

Jiang Hongfei appointed Lu Zhishen as the commander of the Zhennan capital, Shi Bao as the deputy capital commander of Zhennan, and Wu Yong as the military adviser. He led the Zhennan First Army to the Zhennan Eighth Army and the Ma Qi Army to liberate the southern Zhejiang area, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Guangzhou South East Road and Guangnan West Road, in short, will ignite all the flames of war in the southeast and even the south.

Jiang Hongfei himself led the Guards Army, Beiwei Army, Tabai Army, Po Enemy Army, Youyi Army, Tiefu Tu Front Army, and Tiefu Tu Rear Army. The king returned and returned to Shuibo Liangshan. He began to attack Shandong and Hebei, and won the Central Plains and even the Central Plains. It is the foundation for aspiration to dominate the world...
