Chapter 404: Decisive Battle in Shandong, Great Earthquake
Fang Guozhen felt a chill on her head and woke up suddenly.
When he looked up, it turned out that a drop of dew had fallen on his forehead.
He glanced around and found that the number of his men had become smaller again, and they were resting sporadically in the woods.
One of his subordinates looked at him with a strange look, and when he saw him looking over, he quickly looked away.
Fang Guozhen walked to a small puddle, washed her face with sewage, picked up the knife, walked out of the forest, and looked towards the coastline.
The ship is still there, but it seems that the rebels are only focused on robbing the resources on the main island, and no one cares about him anymore.
He looked up at the sun rising slowly on the horizon, feeling at a loss. He didn't know how many more sunrises he could see.
Ever since he embarked on the road of pirates, he had expected that such a day would come, but when this day came, it was still hard to accept.
Click! The sound of a branch being trampled came from behind.
Fang Guozhen's expression changed drastically, and he swung the knife behind him.
The man behind him hurriedly took a few steps back and said with a pale face, "Father, it's me, what's wrong with you?" That man was Fang Guozhen's eldest son, Fang Li.
Originally, he had arranged for Fang Guozhen's three sons to study in Qingyuan. After Jiangdu's army went south, he took his whole family and fled to the island to live.
Fang Guozhen broke into cold sweat on his forehead and said sternly: "Don't sneak up behind me in the future!"
Because Fang Li had never been involved in Fang Guozhen's affairs before, he had lived with Fang Guozhen on the island for the past year. He was very uncomfortable and gritted his teeth and said: "Father, let's go save my mother and brother!"
Fang Guozhen said angrily: "It's easy to say, there are only a few hundred of us left, how can we save them?"
Fang Li said: "I heard that my father defeated Cai Ye with only dozens of people before. Why don't he dare to do it now?"
Fang Guozhen was furious and raised her hand to give him a slap. Halfway through, her palm suddenly turned and hit him in the face.
Fang Li was surprised and said: "Father?"
Fang Guozhen slapped himself in the mouth several more times, his eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Who says I don't dare? I'm going to die sooner or later anyway, so let's do it again!"
Fang Li said happily: "Father, let's go together..."
Before he finished speaking, his whole body was suddenly shaken. An arrow pierced through his neck, and a few drops of blood splashed on Fang Guozhen's face.
With a pop, Fang Li fell to the ground. Before Fang Guozhen could get angry, he only heard a "swish" and another arrow hit his right leg.
Fang Guozhen was shocked and angry. He cut off the arrow tail with a knife, knelt on one knee and looked up, only to see several men surrounding him with gloomy expressions.
"Are you going to betray me too? Wang Zhen, Deng Laoba, I stole your wives for you, you sons of bitches!"
A man with a scar on his nose said coldly: "Brother, you were really good to your brothers in the past, but if we follow you any longer, we won't be able to survive, so we can only apologize!"
Fang Guozhen raised his knife and struck the man.
The scarred man kicked the steel knife away, slammed his knee on his head, grabbed his head, and kept smashing it to the ground.
"Old dog, if it weren't for you, I would be reduced to this insignificant place? What time has it been now and you still dare to act arrogant? I will let you be arrogant! I will let you be arrogant!"
Another person said: "Okay, don't smash your head. His head can be exchanged for wealth and honor with the King of Chu!"
The man with the scar picked up the knife and was about to chop off his head. Another person said: "A living thing should be better than a dead one. Let's keep it for now."
"That's true."
The crowd dragged Fang Guozhen to the ground like a dead dog, fearing that he would bite his tongue and kill himself, and stuffed his mouth with bird feces.
Fang Guozhen stared at her son's body, her heart filled with regret.
This island is an island in the southwest of the Penghu Islands. The people drove two warships, carefully avoiding the main island, and headed towards the shore, intending to join the Jiangdu Army.
Unexpectedly, not long after the boat left, a group of small boats chased from behind, which was the main force of the rebels on the main island.
The rebels caught up with the warship and killed everyone on board. Suddenly someone saw Fang Guozhen tied to the stern of the ship.
"Come and see, isn't this our governor? Hahaha, why has he turned into a dead dog!"
All the pirates gathered around, laughing at Fang Guozhen, and some came forward to punch and kick him.
Not long after, Fang Guozhen was brought back to the main island. At this time, the main island was occupied by one of Fang Guozhen's men named Black Shark. When he saw Fang Guozhen's appearance, he was extremely angry.
"Grandma, what bastard dares to do this to my eldest brother? I'm going to twist his head off! Someone, bring water!"
He came to Fang Guozhen, helped him up, wiped his face, and said sincerely: "Brother, are you okay?"
Fang Guozhen nodded, shook his head, and whined a few times.
Black Shark sighed and said: "You have suffered. Brother, I am just a little dissatisfied with you. I never thought of doing this to you."
At this moment, someone brought the water.
Black Shark placed the water basin three feet away from Fang Guozhen, then stood between Fang Guozhen and the water basin, spreading his legs.
"Brother, crawl over and wash yourself!" Black Shark said with a smile.
Fang Guozhen was shocked and angry, and the glimmer of hope he had just raised turned into despair. Suddenly, he remembered that this was his favorite method of torturing others.
Black Shark said coldly: "Climb quickly. Why, do you dislike my brother's dirty water?"
Fang Guozhen remained motionless, regretting not committing suicide earlier.
Black Shark suddenly took off his belt, and a stream of water spurted out, peeing on his face, and said with a ferocious smile: "Brother, I'll give you something clean!"
Fang Guozhen wanted to escape, but was held down by someone behind him.
The pirates watching nearby were all excited, some were shouting, and some were whistling.
Black Shark took a pee and was peeing happily, when suddenly a person rushed outside and shouted at the top of his voice: "It's not good, Jiang Dujun is coming!"
As soon as they heard that Jiangdu's army was coming, the pirates broke into chaos and fled out of the hall in a swarm, trying to escape for their lives.
Black Shark didn't even have time to fasten his pants. He held up his pants and rushed out first.

Fang Guozhen lay on the ground like a dead dog, panting violently. After an unknown period of time, there was a sound of metal collision, and a group of armored sergeants rushed in.
The leader was none other than the wild boar. When he saw Fang Guozhen on the ground, he was stunned for a moment. After a long silence, he ordered someone to take out the bird droppings from Fang Guozhen's mouth and clean up his body.
Fang Guozhen took a few deep breaths and grinned at the wild boar.
"Haha, I never thought I would be saved by you."
The wild boar said coldly: "I'm not saving you, the king has already promised me to allow me to execute you."
Fang Guozhen looked behind him, laughed, and said: "I know you want to kill me, but I still want to thank you, after all, you let me die like a human being!"
The wild boar was silent for a long time and said: "Fang Guozhen, I just want to ask you, have you ever felt any regret for cruelly killing so many innocent people?"
Fang Guozhen stared at the ceiling, thinking of her son's dying face, and sighed, "I regret it! I regret it!"
The wild boar looked up and looked out the window, murmured a few words in a low voice, then drew out his sword and slashed Fang Guozhen's neck.
……
In mid-October, good news from Fujian finally reached Jiangdu Prefecture.
In the good news, Shanzhu changed his name to Zhu San. Zhang Yangquan knew that he finally killed Fang Guozhen and avenged his family, and was secretly happy for him.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Yangquan sent a military order, asking Li Er to guard Fujian. Chang Yuchun led 30,000 people to march towards Jingjiang. At the same time, he also sent an order to Xu Baisheng, asking him to go south to attack Jingjiang.
As for Zhu San, Zhang Yangquan ordered him to return to Jiangdu Mansion to rest for a while.
Within two months of Jiangdu's army attacking Fujian, the situation in Shandong also changed dramatically.
Tian Feng from Shandong has already called himself the King of Flower Horses, and Wang Shicheng has also called himself the King of Sweepers. The two have become the two strongest forces in Shandong.
On the contrary, the successor who supported Mao Gui's son became increasingly weak, and was squeezed out of Yidu by a man named Chen Zhangtou.
Previously, Zhang Shicheng sent someone to unite Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng, but they were rejected by them.
Both of them were arrogant and thought they could cope with the Yuan army.
As a result, as the Yuan army attacked from multiple fronts, both of them lost more and won less when they fought independently. Shandong was gradually invaded by the Yuan army.
Seeing that they could not fight alone, the two finally began to link up with other Shandong troops and sent people to contact Zhang Shicheng.
A total of more than 200,000 coalition troops from all walks of life were stationed in Dongping County, and Chahan Timur's 50,000 main force happened to be on the way to Dongping County.
This battle will determine the ownership of Shandong. Including Zhang Yangquan, the surviving rebel leaders all over the world are paying close attention to the situation in Shandong.
In early November, the Yuan army and the Song army started a decisive battle at Shiqiao, Dongping County.
However, the outcome of the war shocked the world!
Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng turned against each other on the battlefield, causing Zhang Shicheng and other rebels to be defeated.
Zhang Shicheng returned to Xuzhou and his successor died in battle. Chen Qiangtou was defeated and fled to Yidu. Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng both surrendered to Chahan Timur!
After this battle, Shandong can be said to have been captured by Chahan Timur.
