According to this military newspaper, on the third day of March, which was the sixteenth day after the fall of Jinling City, the Great Xia court received news of the fall of Jinling, and the following day it received news of the loss of the three prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

Emperor Shenwu was so angry that he summoned his ministers overnight and issued an order to put an end to the rebellion.

The border troops did not move, and the two young masters of Ningshan Prefecture went out in person, leading the Ning family's army of 100,000 people. From Ningshan Prefecture, they left Daming Prefecture and went to Xuzhou. The Ministry of War sent 100,000 troops. Yin Gaoqiu of Jingzhao Prefecture was appointed as the commander-in-chief and led the army of 100,000 troops.

The army will go to Xuzhou together. If nothing unexpected happens, it will reach Xuzhou in about fifteen days. The troops will be united together, with a total of 200,000 troops, and they will move south in a few days.

After reading the news, Fang La was silent for a moment and asked slowly: "Is this true?"

Deng Yuanjue cupped his hands and said: "It's absolutely true. Everyone in Yingtian Mansion and Daming Mansion knows about this matter. Our people went through many twists and turns and spent a lot of money to get the accurate information. We rushed the letter six hundred miles away.

I arrived in Jinling early this morning. That is to say, this morning, the Ningshan Mansion army set out. Although Ning Que did not come out of the mountain, he had two sons, one civil and one military, who were not fuel-efficient. Even in Chengdu, Ning Que was heard.

Not regretting her words, her eldest brother Ning Yuanwen is full of knowledge and has been able to demonstrate military tactics as long as Ning Que. Her second brother Ning Yuanwu uses a pear blossom gun, which is the true inheritance of his father. In a competition with him, the chance of winning is only

Thirty percent, his hard work can be seen, and it was all three years ago. But this time, for some reason, Ning Que can't come out, but his two children are leaving. Although the time has not been set yet, it shouldn't be too far away."

Fang La frowned, but didn't say anything else.

Ning Que, this man who swept the southwest twenty years ago, twenty years later, the mention of his name still makes many martial arts practitioners excited. He is like a bright light, hanging high in the sky, making people look up to him.

.

Twenty years ago, the rebellion in the southwest was secretly assisted by a Turkic force, which swept through the southwest in half a year, approaching Chengdu.

Ning Que led his troops to quell the rebellion. At that time, he was just a small fifth-grade general. He led 5,000 troops and marched triumphantly into the jungles of the southwest. The Turkic troops launched a sneak attack and there were 10,000 people, which was equal to the total number of tribes in the southwest.

A total of 25,000 troops fought fiercely

More than a month later, Ning Que led eight hundred cavalry to break through the encirclement, crossed into the jungle, directly dispersed the tribal royal court, captured three tribal leaders alive, and brought them back to Chengdu. After half a month's journey, eight hundred cavalrymen walked

There were only thirty-six cavalrymen in Chengdu.

Five thousand against twenty-five thousand, and ten thousand Turkic cavalry. Deep in the jungle, with the right time and place at a disadvantage, he was able to turn defeat into victory. When the army reached its level, he took thirty-six cavalry and three leaders.

He came back alive, and now the eight southwest tribes have surrendered. Five more people dare to cause trouble.

It is said that when the leader saw Ning Que, he looked like he was seeing a demon from hell. One of them was so frightened by Ning Que that he became incontinent and peed his pants on the spot. No one knew what they had gone through. No one knew what they had gone through.

Know how they do it.

Chengdu Prefecture congratulated Ning Que for seven consecutive days, and Ning Que was promoted to the third rank in a row and became a second-rank deputy general. In the next ten years, he guarded the border, defeated Turkic invaders several times, and was granted the title of marquis and prime minister. Until the Battle of Blackwater, his mother died of illness at home.

After returning home to observe mourning for three years, Ningshan gradually became the Ningshan Mansion. The land under the jurisdiction of the six states was also under the jurisdiction of Ning Que, and all of this was the emperor's majestic grace...

It was said that this was the case, but at that time rumors had spread in the southwest that Ning Que was supporting his troops. The various reasons are unknown. In the Battle of Blackwater, the Great Xia Dynasty lost thousands of miles of fertile land in the Hexi Corridor, and the Right Prime Minister Xia Yongkang went into seclusion...

Lu Qinghou saw that Fang La was in a state of confusion, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't disturb me. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It will be a matter of time to fight with them. Since they are here, let them come and never come back."

Fang La's thoughts were pulled back by Lu Qinghou, he clicked on the dragon case and said: "So, the military advisor has a good plan?"

Lu Qinghou said: "I don't dare to have a good idea. I just thought about it on the way. The matter is not unsolvable. Ning Que is certainly powerful, but that was twenty years ago. Now Ning Que is already sixty years old. Is it possible that he is really like Zhao Zilong?"

General? Southwest frontier

The land does not need to be in Chengdu. His Majesty must also know what it is like to guard there for ten years. Although it is said that the tiger father has no dog sons, there were Zhao Kuo and Ma Di in ancient times. Today, Ning Yuanwen and Ning Yuanwu will not follow in their footsteps.

, this is one of them.”

"Secondly, judging from the battle report, this army is not only composed of Ningshan Prefecture, but also has 100,000 troops brought by Yin Gaoqiu of Jingzhao Prefecture. The relationship between the Great Xia Dynasty and Ningshan Prefecture may not be as we imagined.

Okay, when the troops are united, it is still unclear who has the final say. One is appointed by Emperor Shenwu, and the other is the son of Ning Que. Haha, it is not a fist, so it may not be able to be held tightly."

Deng Yuanjue said: "Having said that, after all, there are 200,000 people. If we arrive in Xuzhou on the 15th, Chuzhou will bear the brunt. Si Xingfangyan only needs two days to capture Chuzhou. After that,

Do we still want to go north?"

Lu Qinghou said: "Your Majesty still needs to decide on this matter. In the past few days, many people from Jianghu and Jianghu have defected to our Yongle Dynasty, and various families are also recruiting them. This is a good thing for us. Jinling has become stable, and Brother Li is in the rear."

, the matter of food and grass should not be a big problem, Huzhou, Hengzhou, Yuanzhou, and Jianzhou are a total of eight states, with abundant resources and abundant food, as well as the three prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River."

"I already know about this matter. Let me think about it for a moment or two. We have to wait for the news from Chuzhou and Luzhou before making a decision. If we win it within three days, we will hold on to Chuzhou. If there is a mistake in the battle ahead, the key point is

We still have to put it in Jinling." Fang La said: "You go down and prepare first.

, about this matter, please inform Fang Jie and Fang Maang in advance, so that they can be prepared. In addition, Jin Zhi is coming soon. You should also pay attention. When you arrive, you will be sent directly to the palace to avoid causing any more trouble.

If you teach Buhui how to handle things, she will be more reliable."

"Yes..." Lu Qinghou bowed his hands and resigned.

After the two left, Nangong Wanfang walked out of the tent and pressed her slender jade fingers on Fang La's temple: "Shenggong worked so hard for you, Wan'er, please rub it for you."

Fang La said nothing and let Nangong Wan move. After a long time, he asked: "Wan'er, what do you think I should do?"

Nangong Wan smiled and leaned into Fang La's ear: "I don't dare to say it. If what I said is wrong, wouldn't it ruin the Shenggong's important matter?"

"It's okay to say it, but it's okay to say it." Fang La patted Nangong Wan's hand and smiled: "The authorities are blind to the confusion. I also want to listen to your opinions for reference. I forgive you."

Nangong Wan rolled her eyes. She no longer had the independent aura of the Nangong family. Instead, she looked like a little woman, delicate and harmless. She turned around and squatted in front of Fang La and said, "Then let me tell you...

"

Fang La chuckled: "Tell me, there is no one else here, God knows that you know that I know."

Nangong Wan thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's all fine. I think this war is the same as doing business. It changes rapidly. It's possible that an inadvertent decision by the other party will cause a big chain reaction, such as the price of rice outside.

If it is higher, it will cost more money to buy rice, so it turns out that

The money that should be used for other purposes must be diverted first. If you don't buy other things, it will affect the seller's business and reduce his income. He will also weigh what he wants to buy. Repeatedly, it seems that the price of rice has only increased.

, but it affects everyone in every aspect.”

"Well? That makes sense. Keep talking..." Fang La nodded.

Nangong Wan continued: "Although I have never fought in a war, I also feel that no matter who comes, it depends on their strength. Of course what the military advisor said makes sense, but once the Fang family or someone high or something solves this problem,

, the defensive strategy will have to change again. There are too many variables, and it will be necessary to

I say, just prepare according to the worst-case scenario, and treat them as if they are from the Ministry of War or Ningshan Mansion. If this continues, you will know what to do, whether to attack or defend, advance or retreat, and there will be fewer variables when fighting a war.

Well, there are only two possibilities: failure and victory. If you worry too much, your hands and feet will be tied up."
