Qian Song

Chapter 72 Fang La: I Don't Believe It! (Please follow up!)

...

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

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

Tong Guan, who had sent spies to the southeast, already knew about Tan Zhen's defeat.

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

In Tong Guan's view, although Tan Zhen committed a lot of 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.

No.

That said, it's not accurate.

As Zhao Song's best commander-in-chief who has fought all his life, Tong Guan knows exactly what the Peasant Army is like.

To be honest, Tong Guan really looked down on that mob.

But the Huben Army is different. Tong Guan judged that the Huben Army must have a heavenly generation.

Well, Tong Guan doesn't know the term "Tongtiandai". What he knows is that there are masters of war in the Huben army, very brilliant masters of war, and their command ability is not inferior to that of Zhong Shidao, Liu Yanqing, or even his old partner. The super master of military art under Wang Hou.

This person caught all the mistakes that Tan Zhen made, and easily beat Tan Zhen to pieces with a peasant army that was not much stronger than the Song Army controlled by Tan Zhen, and then captured Zhenjiang City and Jinling City in one fell swoop , and arrange the Yangtze River defense line properly in the shortest possible time.

Tong Guan is very clear that when dealing with such an enemy, you must not give him any chance, otherwise you will not know how you lost.

As for refueling tactics, that is even more undesirable, because as much as you add, people will definitely burn as much. When you have almost added fuel, they should counterattack.

Therefore, the army must be prepared and marched together...

……

Shezhou.

After conquering Shezhou, Fang La and Bao Kang had very serious disagreements.

Bao Kang's opinion was that only a small number of troops should be stationed in Shezhou. Fang La should lead most of his troops to capture Xuanzhou, then go upstream along the Yangtze River to capture Shuzhou, Huangzhou, and Ezhou, and then follow the Han River to capture Xiangyang. Use Xiangyang as the base point to deploy defenses, and lock the Song army's road going south from the middle road.

But Fang La wanted to divide his team into three parts.

Part of it went north and captured Xuanzhou.

Part of it went south, capturing the area south of Muzhou.

The third part is led by Fang La himself to sit in Shezhou City.

In this way, Fang La's army of more than 20 troops was divided into three.

Bao Kang firmly opposed Fang La's idea - he felt that Fang La's strategy was very problematic.

Let me talk about the part going north first.

Although Fang La gave Fang Qifo [-] troops, it was still far from enough to reach Xiangyang.

Don't forget, there are Zhao Song's important military towns along this road, most of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In case there is a Song army capable of fighting from any important military town and defeating Fang Qifo's tribe, no, even if it only blocks Fang Qifo's tribe for a while, it will be enough for the Song army to go south from the middle road.

Don't forget, the distance from Beijing Daming Mansion to Xiangyang is much shorter than to Zhenjiang.

Moreover, Li Cun had already sent someone to inform Fang La and the others that there were 15 elite Western troops in the Daming Mansion in Beijing, and he also told Fang La and the others that this Western army was going north to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

Bao Kang felt that under such circumstances, it is natural to fight to Xiangyang as soon as possible. How could it be possible to use only one-third of the army to fight? Moreover, Fang La Yujia's personal conquest is so strong that it is impossible to send only one Fang Qifo Comparable? !
Let's talk about the part going south.

Yes.

Now Li Cun is busy going north and can't take care of the southern Zhejiang area, but any fool can see that Li Cun is not in a hurry to eat here in southern Zhejiang, not because he doesn't want to eat in southern Zhejiang.

In other words, the meat in Li Cun's bowl is already in South Zhejiang, and Fang La reaches for it. With Li Cun's strong character, how can he let it go? !

The key point is that even Fang La, who owns Zhao Song's huge territory in Jingxiang, can't beat her. Why should she worry about her natural ally, her own brother-in-law's territory? Isn't this killing and hindering the overthrow of Zhao Song's dark rule?
Finally, Fang La personally led nearly [-] troops to stay in Shezhou.

What do you want to do?
The world hasn't been settled yet, so you just want to sit back and enjoy the world?

This is just a land of one state, okay?

As the Shenggong of the Yongle Dynasty, you should lead your military officials to expand the territory now, instead of waiting for your military officials to expand the territory for you.

Let me ask, if you really have a general under your command who fought in the South and the North and made great achievements for you, will you be the emperor or he will be the emperor?
In short, Bao Kang felt that Fang La's plan was full of loopholes, and he firmly opposed it.

Bao Kang earnestly said: "Today is still undecided, the Shenggong should learn from Li Dadudu, and the imperial conquest will lay a century-old foundation for my Yongle Dynasty, not..."

"enough!"

It was fine if Bao Kang didn't mention Li Cun, but when Bao Kang mentioned Li Cun, Fang La couldn't suppress his anger.

In Fang La's view, all the achievements Li Cun has achieved today should belong to him, Hangzhou belongs to him, Suzhou belongs to him, Huzhou belongs to him, Runzhou belongs to him, Jiangning Mansion belongs to him too, it belongs to Li Cun It was Bao Kang who stole everything from him.

As for what Li Cun said about Zhao Song hoarding 15 Western troops in the Daming Mansion in Beijing, and what about the 15 Western troops mobilized to go north to recover the Yanyun Sixteen States, Fang La didn't even believe a single punctuation mark.

In Fang La's view, Li Cun just wanted to trick him into Xiangyang to help Li Cun stop the Song army from going south from the middle road.

——Fang La felt that Li Cun was full of conspiracies and tricks. If he believed Li Cun, he would be sold by Li Cun in the end, and he had to count the money for Li Cun.

Moreover, what Bao Kang didn't know was that the purpose of Fang La's asking Fang Qifo to capture Xuanzhou was not to go west and attack Xiangyang, but to see if there was a chance. Jiangning Mansion, then captured Zhenjiang, and then sent troops south to attack Hangzhou with the rebels who captured southern Zhejiang in the future.

To put it bluntly, Fang La never gave up his Zheshui and his Wu land at all.

Even the nearly [-] troops that Fang La has kept in his hands are the reserve team prepared by Fang La. When necessary, he can personally lead the [-] troops to the east and give Hangzhou a fatal blow.

In a word, whoever wants to go to Jingxiang will go, Fang La will not go anyway!
Fang La managed to suppress her anger, and said to Bao Kang as calmly as possible: "Li Cun is no more than a mere martial artist, An Neng can be compared with me, elder brother be careful."

Fang La almost said, I am the one who wants to be the emperor, can Li Cun compare with me?

Bao Kang really didn't expect that Fang La would swell to such a degree.

At this moment, Bao Kang was more and more disappointed with Fang La.

But Bao Kang was really reluctant to part with the good situation of the uprising.

Therefore, Bao Kang endured Fang La's disappointment, and looked at Wang Gong Laofo, who Fang La had obeyed, hoping that this wise man could stand up and say a few words for him.

Who would have thought that Wang Gong and the old Buddha were looking at his eyes, his nose, his nose, and his heart, without opening his mouth at all.

Bao Kang thought about it for a while, and then he understood.

There are three important forces of the Manichaeism, Zheng Mowang, Lu Shinang, and Qiu Daoren, in the south of Zhejiang. Only when Fang La goes to the south of Zhejiang, will the power of the Manichaeism swell in a short period of time.

"Perhaps... Fang Shisan wanted to go to southern Zhejiang because he was instigated by this bald donkey. How could this bald donkey persuade Fang Shisan for me?!"

……

Back at his residence, Bao Kang took out the letter written to him by General Lu from his pocket:

"My brother Mingjian:
The governor, Yingmo Ruilue, is open-minded and magnanimous, knows people well, and makes people happy to use them.

He has the ambition to take the Song Dynasty and replace it, so he came to the dynasty with light corvee and thin Fu, and with the power of the people.

The emperor is strict and gracious, and humbly inquires and accepts. Although he is the governor of the general, those who die down to the lowest can be sympathetic. When choosing generals, they regard labor ability as the priority, and do not disturb them with relatives or dignitaries. death.

Hangzhou was initially determined, that is, to remove the Song law, reduce taxes, and use a new political country.

There is a shortage of scholars in Hangzhou, and it is impossible to govern. The governor used his plan to earn money from aristocratic families, and used imperial examinations to gather children from cold families.

Today, the governor of the capital led 20 tigers to the north to fight against the Song Dynasty.Shout out, Xiongzai!

Although the success was achieved in the Tianhui, the imitation of luck has been the guest since then.

Huben has what it is today, it all depends on the superintendent of the capital who has made no plans, no soldiers left behind, and the great cause is determined.

My younger brother once watched Fang La from afar. He was ungrateful and thought of minor faults.

I know that my brother is a gentleman, and I want to persuade him. If my brother comes to vote, the governor of the metropolis will welcome me from ten miles away. I will live up to my ambition.

Brother Lu will pay homage to him. "

Bao Kang murmured: "Fang Shisan, Fang Shisan, the counselors of Governor Li have seen you through, not to mention Governor Li, a hero with seven orifices and an exquisite heart, your plan may be like a child in the eyes of Governor Li." It’s so ridiculous, but you don’t know it, I’m afraid you will be fooled by your cleverness in the end.”

After finishing speaking, Bao Kang threw the letter into the brazier: "Governor Li Dadu is indeed a wise master, but Bao Kang is not the generation of Qin Muchu..."
