The commander of Tonglu County, Muzhou was Lu Shinang. After attacking Fang Baihua, he took power alone. He also obtained more than a dozen prefectures through the drought, which was even more powerful than Fang La. (Lu Shinang of the Literature Museum) He did not call himself king, but was called General Pingnan.
Lu Shinang was not proud of himself. He knew that his military and horses were not as powerful as Fang La's original rebel army.
Fang La's main force was Manichaeists trained in private. The leaders of the religion, Wang Yin, Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue, Fang Qifo, Fang Jie and others also had the courage to be inappropriate. Fang La divided the troops into two groups and prepared to use the northern route. The army unified Jiangnan East Road and then fought against Tong Guan's troops, so they placed all the elites in the sect in the Northern Army. The twelve gods assigned to him were all second-rate figures in the sect. He later swept over more than a dozen prefectures, although he also recruited them. He has accepted some heroes, but there is no powerful general who can compare with Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue.
His troops were not as strong as Fang La, Fang La was not as strong as the Western Army, and the Western Army was not as good as Daliang. Therefore, when Lu Shinang heard Daliang send troops south, he hurriedly mobilized 300,000 troops to Muzhou to prepare to resist Daliang.
The new recruits under Lu Shinang were not as good as those under the Southern Song Dynasty. There were some generals and officials in the Southern Song Dynasty who knew how to train soldiers, but most of them were Manichaeists, who were good at praying for gods, but they were a layman in training soldiers. However, Lu Shinang There are also places that are lucky than the Southern Song Dynasty. The Jiangnan Bureau formed by Li Li is mainly active on both sides of the river. The prefectures of the Southern Song Dynasty are close to the river, so they are greatly infiltrated by the Jiangnan Bureau. Under the agitation of careful work, the new soldiers in the Jiangnan region collapsed without fighting. Nang's territory was further south, and the power of the Jiangnan Bureau had not yet penetrated, so the situation of Lu's army was better than Zong Ze. When 300,000 soldiers gathered in Muzhou, they did not flee much.
However, after Daliang wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty with the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, the number of deserters under Lu Shinang began to increase. Lu Shinang could only close the camp, hoping that Daliang's troops would arrive as soon as possible to fight against the male and female.
When the Masses came to report that Daliang's troops had already set up camp twenty miles outside the city. Lu Shinang summoned his generals to discuss and finally sent 50,000 troops to attack at night, 20,000 veterans, and 30,000 new soldiers. If successful, it would be enough to be a big deal. If he defeated Daliang's soldiers and horses, he would still have more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which would not affect the overall situation.
After the soldiers attacked at night left the city, Lu Shinang could not fall asleep. He was waiting for good news all night, and even worshiped the gods he didn't believe in from time to time. Although the destruction of the troops sent by him would not affect the overall situation, Ye If the attack failed, he really did not have the confidence to defeat Prince Daliang head-on.
Overthrowing the Song Dynasty, defeating the Liao Kingdom, destroying the Western Xia, and forcing the Southern Song Dynasty, these brilliant achievements were all achieved in one year. The Qin Emperor and Han Wu were not good, and the Tang Emperor and Song Zu were not good. The Prince of Daliang was a god of war that never came out for a thousand years, maybe it was true It is not necessarily true that the gods are born in their contemporaries, and those who are born in their contemporaries are destined to be supporting roles.
It was not until the fifth day that I heard someone outside the house informing me.
Master Lu hurriedly called someone in.
The person who came was the Dangke God Ran, who was responsible for the city defense tonight. Rancho also did not close his eyes all night, and was waiting for the news at the Ximen gate. Finally, a defeated soldier came back and hurried to report the news.
The Prince of Daliang was pressing on their heads like a mountain, making them breathless. The more they knew, the more panicked the Prince of Daliang's record, the more panicked they knew. Instead, they knew a little that the soldiers were less afraid.
Master Lu looked at Fan Cho's anxious expression and sighed, "Are you defeated?"
Fan Chou nodded and said, "The soldiers and horses of Daliang were prepared for a long time. As soon as they entered the camp, the ambushed soldiers rose up in the camp and took them out of the camp. They fled for a few miles. Another ambush broke out and killed them.
There are only a few hundred soldiers who have just escaped. They are still brothers in our sect. Once the recruits disperse, there are probably not many people who come back."
Master Lu nodded and said, "Be careful, don't get into the city by the spies of Liangshan."
In the past, Tong Guan slaughtered all the people in Muzhou in order to prevent the Manichaeism from attacking among the people. After Fang La destroyed, although some people came to Muzhou to farm, Muzhou was still sparsely populated. The huge Tonglu County was only a few.
After the news that Daliang was about to go south to wipe out the Southern Song Dynasty and Lu Shinang came, Lu Shinang asked someone to strengthen the defense of Tonglu City and expand the military camp. This time, Lu Shinang raised an army to resist Daliang, and all the troops led by him were in the city.
.
"Affect the order."
When Wan Chou rushed back to Ximen, he started his troops and was careful when he was on guard.
Fang Chou didn't dare to open the city gate, but just dragged the defeated soldiers to the city with a hanging basket and a rope. Fortunately, it was dawn not long after, and the situation outside the city was clear at a glance.
Not only were there no Daliang soldiers and horses within a few miles, but there were no defeated soldiers returning to the city. Until the city gate opened, there were only a few thousand defeated soldiers returning.
After the scope was handed over to the city defense, he came to Master Lu's office to report again.
Master Lu didn't sleep all night and was a little tired. He could only drink tea to refresh himself. When he saw that Wancao had arrived, he asked his personal soldiers to give Wancao a cup of tea.
Wanchou couldn't wait to serve tea, so he said anxiously: "General, there are less than 5,000 soldiers coming back, and no generals of the troops came back."
Master Lu was also stunned and asked, "Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli have not come back either?"
Fen Cho said: "The brothers in the sect who escaped said that Zhang Jinren was killed by a two-sword sword, and Gao Keli was stabbed by Fang Jie with a halberd. It would be difficult to save his life even if he was caught in the chaos."
Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli can be said to be the two with the highest martial arts skills among the twelve gods in Jiangnan. After losing the two, only the six gods in Jiangnan were left in Tonglu County. Shen Gang, the Qingtian God Fuzhou and Xu of the Liuding Shenmingzhou led 50,000 troops to guard the battle.
Fujian Road, guard against Li Gong on Guangdong Road. Dunjia God Yingming is in Muzhou, while Youyi God Pan Wendeze defends Wulongling.
Of course, there are many new generals. On that day, Master Lu ordered the God of Qingtian Shen Gang to design the attack on Fang Baihua and Fang Jie, but he was knocked out by Shi Bao and rescued the two. Master Lu was worried that Fang Baihua would make the matter public.
He split his troops. Although Fang Baihua and the other three were empty talk, Lu Shinang still led his troops south to Fujian Road, away from the Jiangnan Road, which was the most popular in Manichaeism. Later, the troops recruited were often appointed heroes from all over the world.
Instead of the Manichaeists, prevent Fang Baihua from suddenly jumping out to seize power.
There were 300,000 soldiers and horses in Muzhou. Except for the 100,000 soldiers and horses led by the ten gods in Jiangnan, the other 200,000 soldiers and horses were led by heroes later recruited. In the past, Lu Shinang could be said to have relied on Manichi to conquer the world.
Now Manichaeism is dependent on Lu Shinang's mission.
When Master Lu heard Fang Jie appear, he didn't care about Zhang Jinren and Gao Keli, and said, "Is Fang Jie coming? Are Fang Baihua and Shi Bao also here?"
Fan Chou said: "Shi Bao killed General Li Wu, but he didn't see the saint aunt. If the saint aunt was there, he would definitely not let them kill the brothers in the sect."
Li Wu was a hero from outside the school recruited by Master Lu. He collided with Shi Bao. He didn't know that the wind-breaking sword in Shi Bao's hand was a treasure knife. After taking it twice, Shi Bao cut off the weapon in his hand and took it off with another knife.
life.
Master Lu was relieved when he heard that Fang Baihua was gone. Fang Baihua was a saint and had a very high status in the religion. If Fang Baihua came forward to mobilize the Manichae church members, the Manichae soldiers and horses led by the Twelve Gods in Jiangnan It will definitely be split. Although he has served twenty new generals, the strongest combat power is the Manichaeism 100,000 veterans. If the 100,000 veterans are split, his strength will be at least one-third of it.
Wanchou looked at Master Lu hesitantly and said, "I heard a message. I don't know whether it should be said or not."
Master Lu said, "But you might as well."
"The brothers in the church said that the general instructed Chen Gang to design the attack on the sage aunt and Fang Jie, but was hit by Marshal Shi Bao and killed Chen Gang's troops, but the sage aunt was shot to death. Fang Jie and Shi Bao came this time It’s just to seek revenge from Chen Gang and General.”
Master Lu immediately changed his face and slapped the table and said, "Nonsense, Chen Gang reported to me that day that Chao Yong sent someone to find the saint, and the saint took Fang Jie north. They must have been the ones who had been to the Daliang. Now they want to Help Chao Yong unify the world and deliberately ruin our morale."
Yan Chou hesitated: "If the saint is still there, then we can send someone to Daliang to ask for peace. Daliang will unify the north and destroy the Western Xia, and the Southern Song Dynasty will come. Our army's morale was not high at first, but the night attack failed last night, and even more It’s hard to resist the enemy. The Saint Aunt and I are both from Manichaeism, so I guess they won’t see my religion destroyed.”
But Master Lu knew that Fang Baihua was probably really killed. Chen Gang was killed and saw Fang Baihua hit an arrow. He just didn't know if the injury was serious. Now it seems that Fang Baihua must be If he dies, otherwise, with Fang Baihua's temperament, he will not be able to persuade Chao Yong, and he may have a strife with Chao Yong and go to Jiangnan to protect his children. Even if he doesn't come, he will definitely not let Fang Jie and Shi Bao help Daliang kill him. Brothers in the church.
"Daliang unified the north and destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty. Just as we were about to unify the world, wouldn't we be humiliated by seeking peace? The Shenggong would rather die than humiliate him before and refused to seek peace in the Song Dynasty. How could we fall behind? There are still twenty left in Tonglu. There are more than 80,000 soldiers and only 80,000 people in the main beam, we may not be defeated."
When Daliang sent troops, Lu Shinang had a peace proposal, but most of them did not agree. Everyone felt that Daliang had only 100,000 soldiers and horses going south, and there were 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Lu Shinang had four more. Most of them thought that Daliang could return in a dusty manner. It was not until Daliang defeated Zong Ze's 150,000 troops and forced the Southern Song Dynasty to surrender. Only then did the people who were in charge of the war began to feel that they would unify the north and wipe out Daliang in the Western Xia. It is not something that Jiangnan can resist. The sound of seeking peace has become much louder, but Lu Shinang has a ghost in his heart, and guesses that Fang Baihua is probably in Chao Yong's army, so he insists on talking about it after the battle.
Wanchou naturally knew about Fang La. The Song Dynasty recruited the amnesty before Tong Guan's army headed south. At that time, the soldiers and horses in the church were unstoppable. Everyone thought they could sweep across the south of the Yangtze River and then unify the world, so they naturally would not accept the amnesty. When Tong Guan's army headed south, the Western Army was arrogant. The soldiers gathered together, and the court paid a lot of money to arrest Fang La. Fang La had no way to survive even if he surrendered.
However, the scope cannot be said that Fang La would rather die than be humiliated than be wanted by Master Lu to think that he was timid and could only bow his head and eat tea.
The night attack failed, and Lu Shinang also knew that Daliang would launch troops to attack within half a day, so he immediately summoned the generals in the city to discuss countermeasures.
Sure enough, after hearing the night attack failed, and none of the five generals came back, the voice of proposing peace talks became louder.
Everyone was still arguing, and the side general in charge of the provocate came to report: "The soldiers from Daliang came out of the camp and came towards Tonglu."
Mr. Lu immediately suppressed the quarrels and said, "Although the attack on the camp last night failed, the troops of Daliang must be exhausted. Chao Yong came to attack with his tired army, which was his own defeat. The generals obeyed the orders and went to the point quickly.
The troops and horses of the whole family followed me out of the city to defeat the enemy."
"yes"
Everyone saw Master Lu's order, and they had to get up and respond.
More than 200,000 soldiers left the city and lined up. It took an hour for the entire army to be divided into front, central, left and right armies, with their backs against Tonglu City, and each army had more than 50,000 people.
As soon as the formation was set up, Daliang soldiers appeared on the horizon.
Although Daliang only has 80,000 soldiers and horses, they are still boundless and the lineup is much more neat than Jiangnan's troops.
When the two armies faced each other, the new recruits in Jiangnan who had not experienced a great battle could not help but tremble. However, few new recruits in Daliang were afraid to fight under the myth of the prince's invincibility.
As soon as the Daliang soldiers and horses were about to get stuck, Fang Jie came out and shouted, "Where is the dog thief in Master Lu?"
Many Manichaeists knew Fang Jie, and when they saw Fang Jie appearing in the formation and scolding Master Lu, they couldn't help but talk.
"court death."
The general who did not know Fang Jie in the front army saw that Fang Jie was just a young man, and immediately snatched the horse out of the formation to grab the first prize.
Fang Jie was furious when he saw someone working hard for Master Lu, and danced the Fang Tian Painting Ji in his hand and went up to meet him.
The two horses intersected, Fang Jie sideways to avoid the attack, and the Fang Tianhua Ji stabs out like lightning. He then takes the pierce to dismount.
Shen Yan, the god of the devastation, beat the horse and shouted, "Fang Jie, you are also the leader of the sect, why did you help Daliang kill my brothers in the sect?"
Fang Jie and Shi Bao sneaked into Tonglu County and just found some familiar middle-level brothers. They did not dare to find the Twelve Gods in Jiangnan.
"Master Lu killed my aunt. Today I want to avenge my aunt. Who dares to stop me? Don't blame the ruthlessness of Fang Tianhua Ji in my hand."
Shen Yan was stunned when he heard Fang Jie say that Master Lu killed the Holy Aunt.
Fang Jie clasped his fists and said, "Master Lu killed the sage aunt, and he should be killed according to the rules of the Tao. Please ask General Shen not to stop me."
Shen Yan was regretting that he had gone out of the battle at this time. He was now in a dilemma. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Do you say General Lu killed the Holy Aunt, is there any evidence?"
Shi Bao, who was helping Fang Jie to press the formation behind him, heard this, and went out to fight a horse and said, "I broke through from the Gangyuan Cave that day. After recovering from the injury, I will go to Wenzhou to find you. Outside the city, I happened to meet Shen Gang and attack Sheng Gu and
Fang Jie, I killed Shen Gang and saved Fang Jie. But the Holy Aunt was shot into the center with an arrow and died."
Shi Bao's status in the sect is slightly higher than that of Master Lu. Shen Yan believed it seventy after hearing Shi Bao's words.
"Master Lu came out."
"Master Lu came out"
"Master Lu came out."
The Manichae church members in front of the formation were even more talkative. Some church members who had received favor from the Fang family shouted, and many Manichae church members followed.
When the new recruits in Jiangnan saw this, they were also talking about it.
In the central army, Lu Shinang could not hear the conversation in front of the formation. When he saw the front army clamoring loudly, he hurriedly sent someone to check it out.
"Fang Jie and Shi Bao said in front of the formation that the general killed the Holy Aunt, and now the brothers in the sect let the general go out to confront each other."
When the Manichae generals around Master Lu were all suspicious when they heard this.
On that day, Fang Baihua and Lu Shinang had already made a plan to separate Tong Guan's personal soldiers, and wanted to attack Huzhou to avenge the sage. After two days, Shen Gang suddenly said that Fang Baihua took Fang Jie north to find the little overlord Chao Yong.
.Many people thought it was a little strange at the time, but they didn't expect someone to kill the Holy Aunt.
At this time, I heard Fang Jie say that Master Lu killed Fang Baihua, and they had no choice but to doubt it. If Fang Baihua was there, the command of the Manichaeist army would be at least divided into two. Without Fang Baihua, Master Lu would be able to
Monopoly of power.
Lu Shinang glanced at the expressions of the people around him, and he became a little turbulent when he saw the army. He could only say, "I am not such a person. I will confront Fang Jie."
After saying that, he rode a horse and came forward.
When the Manichae church members saw the flag moving in Lu Shinang, the sound of clamoring gradually became smaller.
Lu Shinang was also very regretful of the previous arrangement of troops. He laid 20,000 soldiers and horses in the front army, 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 soldiers from the left and right troops, 20,000 soldiers in the middle army. He originally wanted to let the soldiers and horses in the middle army suppress the formation, but now
But it made all the four armies in chaos. If the soldiers and horses in the sect could not be pacified, there would be no need to fight this time, and the Fourth Army's plenary session was defeated.
When Fang Jie saw Master Lu coming to the formation, he held the Fang Tian Hua Ji tighter and tighter.
Shi Bao heard Fang Jie's fingers clattering and hurriedly said, "Don't be impulsive, we'll expose his villain's face and kill him again."
When Fang Jie heard this, he suppressed the urge to beat the horse.
Master Lu came out of the battle and clasped his fists and said, "Master Shi, General Fang, has been missing for a long time. Both of them are my coaches. How can you help Daliang come to kill my brothers in my sect?"
Fang Jie's eyes widened and glared at Master Lu and said, "If you hadn't killed my aunt, how could I have fought against all my brothers? A hero is a hero. If you admit it, I'll give you some pleasure. If you don't agree,
When I catch it, I will be cut into pieces."
Master Lu frowned and said, "I heard Shen Gang's return that day. The little bully sent someone to see you, and then you went north. When will I kill the Saint Aunt?"
Fang Jie shouted: "The prince did not send anyone at all. You ordered Shen Gang to trick us out of the city, and then ambushed the archers in the valley, wanting to shoot us, but they don't want to be knocked out by Marshal Shi who came to meet and killed him.
Archer, but my aunt was shot to death. Do you recognize it or not?”
Master Lu ignored Fang Jie, turned his head and looked at Shi Bao, and said, "Is Fang Jie true?"
Shi Bao nodded and said, "It's true."
Master Lu frowned and said, "Since Marshal Shi said this, this matter should not be false. Unexpectedly, Shen Gang was so crazy that he dared to kill the saint. I will let Shen Gang take down and General Fang
Handle disposal.”
Fang Jie didn't buy it and stared at Master Lu and said, "If you don't have your permission, will he dare to harm the Saint Aunt and me?"
Master Lu shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this. If you don't believe it, we will confront Shen Gang in person."
Shi Bao said: "Where is Shen Gang?"
“He is on Fujian Road.”
Fang Jie frowned and said, "He is your confidant, otherwise you wouldn't let him stay behind. How could you not know what he did?"
Shi Bao nodded and said, "I'm afraid that when you went to catch Shen Gang, he had already run away?"
Master Lu really thought this in his heart. Everyone knew that Shen Gang was his confidant. If he arrested Shen Gang and let Fang Jie execute him, who would be willing to follow him?
