Chapter 983: After eating all the birds and throwing themselves into the forest, the white land that fell was really clean
In the northwest of Qingxi County, there is a place called Bangyuan Cave.
It is densely forested and full of caves. At the beginning, Fang La was in this long-stretching cave, hiding soldiers, horses and ordnance.
Today, the heroes of Liangshan broke the last city of Fang La, and Fang La took the remaining subordinates to retreat to the last base - Bangyuan Cave.
There were still more than 20,000 people under Fang La's command, but most of them were tired and defeated, and their morale and combat effectiveness were relatively low.
But compared to the rabble of Tian Hu and Wang Qing, the Manichaeans believed in the "doctrine of light". Even if they are exhausted and seriously injured, they will not surrender, but will sacrifice their lives or die with the enemy!
"Burn my body, blazing the holy fire, what is the joy of life, and what is the pain of death? For the sake of good and evil, only the light is the cause. Joy and sorrow are dust. Have mercy on the world, and there are many sorrows......"
More than 300 remnants of the Manichaean army were defeated and surrounded by the heroes of Liangshan in a mountain col.
They were covered in bruises, and they had not eaten for many days, but in the face of Song Jiang's persuasion, they were still unmoved, but recited the eulogy one by one, calmly waiting for death.
Song Jiang planned to persuade this group of remnants to surrender, but he said three thousand six good words, claiming that it was not about the common people, and only Fang La and other leaders would be held responsible. All surrenders are exempted, and meritorious service is even more high-ranking officials!
But that group of believers had already been disheartened by the Great Song Dynasty, and they didn't believe what Song Jiang said, even if they died in the light, they were unwilling to surrender to the darkness!
In the end, Song Jiang could only order the arrow with a gloomy face! Previous experience had already taught him that even if these diehards were forcibly arrested, they only wanted to die together. After several groups of soldiers were killed and wounded, he did not dare to capture the live mouth.
Arrows rained down, and the more than 300 Manichaeans were shot into hedgehogs.
The flame of light above the source cave, which could not be seen by the naked eye, was once again much dimmer.
"Pedant, this persuasion has failed again. In the long run, the thief will inevitably be the same enemy. If the defeated army resists to the death, my brother may have many more casualties, what should I do in this matter? ”
In the face of Song Jiang's brother's inquiry, Wu Yong couldn't do anything.
This "military advisor", except for some intrigues and tricks, has no real material at all. He couldn't even understand some of the formation diagrams and military momentum, and he had to explain it to Zhu Wu, the master of the Divine Machine.
And when these two armies are at war, there are too few opportunities to be able to play small conspiracies.
So there are a lot of tough battles all the way south, but this Zhiduoxing really doesn't have any sense of existence.
……
Here, Song Jiang hardened his head and encircled and suppressed the last rebels in Fang La.
On the other side, several teams appeared in Jiangnan, bringing some craftsmen and supplies to the ruined cities that had been beaten after various wars.
Xuanzhou, which has been beaten down by the heroes of Liangshan for a long time, has ushered in such a group of people.
The man at the head is more than 1.90 meters tall, which is really magnificent. Coupled with the majesty of the facial features, the appearance is dignified, a snow-white BMW is placed in the crotch, and a golden spear is hung in the saddle, and it is not too much to say that the general is mighty!
Behind the people, followed by a long convoy of people and materials, that's a lot! The cart carrying grain was crammed to the brim, and a cart "just happened" to overturn, and the grain was scattered all over the ground! The people in the city who have been hungry for half a month swallow their saliva when they look at it.
Although Na Fangla took advantage of the official pressure to rebel against the people, it swept the south of the Yangtze River in a short time. But if you want to say how much he loves the people like a son and fights for the people, that's!
His most fundamental motivation was ambition, followed by mission.
Although he killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he didn't commit any crimes against the common people?
Dream!
This Xuanzhou City was first broken by Fang La, and it was swept away. Those who can be taken away are taken away, and the people are also coerced to do great things.
Later, Liangshan came again, and a tough battle broke the city, and another sweep swept away, and the only remaining food and materials were replenished into the army. Liangshan is full of good men who eat meat and drink a lot, where do they understand the politics of people's livelihood, they can only let these refugees beg for a living.
In addition, the Great Song Dynasty never launched the rescue and reconstruction of Jiangnan because Song Jiang failed to completely pacify Fangla, internal disputes and uneven distribution of interests.
Now, the people in Xuanzhou City are about to gnaw the bark and catch rats to satisfy their hunger!
The population of Xuanzhou City has gone to five or six out of ten, and none of the rest can be fed.
Although the landlord's old wealth has been robbed, those small citizens and traders are also smooth and slippery. Not a single shop in the whole city can open, and it has been more than two weeks without food and firewood!
In this way, Lu Junyi arrived with troops and supplies.
After Lu Junyi arrived, he proclaimed himself Wang Shi, sent people to distribute materials, prepare defense, strictly discipline, and publicize the central idea of our army fighting for the people!
Under Lu Junyi's operation, in just five days, Xuanzhou became Xia Luo's territory.
When the Great Song Dynasty is over and sends people back, it is impossible to establish majesty here.
Even, if those people want to sit or sit in the position, they have to discuss with Lu Junyi......
The same thing happened in Chaozhou, Changzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou...... Xia Luo's Hu Sanniang, Shi Wengong, Le He, Xu Ning and others all set off with people.
At the same time, commercial tentacles also began to spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, helping the victims to recover and build, and at the same time mastering the economic lifeline of most of the south of the Yangtze River.
At least one-tenth of the population relies on working for Xia Luo to eat, and this Jiangnan will be surnamed Xia from now on!
Xia Luo had actually sent a large number of spies to join Liangshan's troops, and also sent many spies to follow Liangshan.
Wherever Liangshan hits along the way, those intelligence officers will be paved.
Now it's the final pass, so Charlotte has completely launched the plan laid out in the early stage!
Since then, this Jiangnan is no longer the Jiangnan of the Great Song Dynasty!
Originally, the Song Dynasty's control over the local area could not be said to be very tight, and the Fangla Rebellion almost destroyed the rule of the Great Song Dynasty in Jiangnan and the only majesty and popular support. So at this time, Charlotte chose to take advantage of the situation, which can be described as the right time and place!
Many people with Taoism will find that the luck of the Great Song Dynasty is inexplicably shortened!
Linhai City began to be built with great fanfare. Almost half of Shandong's manpower and material resources began to tilt towards the coast. After processing and training, these materials and manpower were transported by sea ships to the southern coast.
After the Great Song Dynasty went through several heyday periods such as Taizu and Taizong, it was already full of holes.
After all, this country came from the wrong way, and Zhao Kuangyin snatched it from the orphans and widows of the old Chai family. And Zhang Guangyi hacked his brother to death by candlelight and axe, and inherited the throne. In the Song Dynasty, the throne was turbulent.
Coupled with the innate disability of the system - the serious emphasis on literature and military suppression, it makes him like a child who has a lot of treasures but no strength to protect himself.
Western Xia couldn't sit still at this time, knowing that their suzerain, the Great Liao Kingdom, was almost wiped out, and they were also a little overwhelmed at that time.
However, after learning that the Jin Dynasty began to digest the land and resources of the Great Liao State, and the Great Song Dynasty was engaged in internal counterinsurgency, their minds were also activated.
The Western Xia was a regime established by the Dangxiang people in the Hexi Corridor, probably in Gansu and Shaanxi.
This regime was conquered by the Song Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but later the Song Dynasty was weak, so it became independent with the support of the Liao State! Since then, I have never stopped coveting the fertile soil of the Central Plains!
The country of Western Xia has no faith, and it has surrendered and surrendered, not only betrayed many times, but also rebelled and killed the monarch many times internally.
In fact, since the Great Liao Kingdom became a Buddhist country, this Western Xia has become a problem for the Great Song Dynasty. Every year, there will be friction between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know how many fights have been fought over the years.
Because once the Great Song Dynasty has a little advantage, the Liao State will come to pull the bias, so the Great Song Dynasty has not been able to do anything to the Western Xia.
As a result of years of war, the country's most capable troops were hoarded on the Western Xia border. Even Fang La rebelled, and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to transfer the Western Army back easily.
However, the heart of Western Xia did not die, and they began to take advantage of the civil strife in the Great Song Dynasty to frequently test it. This made Song Huizong Zhao Ji angry again, and he had nightmares for several days.
Lin Lingsu, the Golden Gate Yuke, could only put down his hand and was investigating the decline of the Great Song Dynasty, and began to calm the mind of this somewhat wayward official.
When Lin Lingsu came out of the mountain, he wanted to use the power of the monarch to carry forward the Shenxiao faction. It would be even better if I could hit the monk by the way.
He has done all of this, and in the past two years, Taoism, especially the Shenxiao sect, has flourished, and Buddhism is not very good.
Lin Lingsu is very profound, and has attacked Buddhism many times in Dharma ceremonies or other occasions, so that he has given Guanyin and Rulai Taoist honorific titles.
But it doesn't come without a price!
He is now a real and unknown national teacher, and his cultivation and cause and effect are tied to the Great Song Dynasty!
A few days ago, the national fortune was almost broken, and he was so anxious that he almost opened his mouth with a cannon. It's just that this kind of thing can't be said directly to the officials......
Xia Luo's actions in Jiangnan, although he can hide the world, but he can't hide those people who have the way!
The situation in Jiangnan has changed greatly, although the divination and calculation have no results, but as long as there is a heart to investigate, the behavior of a large number of Xia Luo's people in Jiangnan cannot be covered.
Many people have ideas, loyal to the Great Song Dynasty feel that this Haiyi Marquis who returned from overseas has different intentions, and he must be a chaotic minister and thief in the future, and those who think of the law want to get rid of this scourge, lest the fortunes of the Southern Song Dynasty be taken away like this.
There are also some people who think that Haiyi Hou has a lot of means, and at this time, the dragon and snake may really be able to succeed, so they want to cling to it as soon as possible, and they can mix up some benefits in the future.
So these days, there are always some suspicious characters, or Taoist monks, or swordsmen and strangers, who come to explore the Haiyi Marquis Mansion at night.
It's a pity that in Xia Luo's opinion, these things that jump out now are all small shrimps, and the highest cultivation is only the silver level.
They didn't even have to do it themselves, as soon as they entered the Haiyi Marquis Mansion, they never came out again.
Some of Xia Luo's hole cards in this world are all in the Hou Mansion, and there are more than 20 layers of magic arrays in them.
There are also powerful entourages such as Xiao Soft, Earth Stone Demon, Thorn Flower Vine, and Oak Wisdom Ancient Tree to guard, even if Lin Lingsu comes in person, Xia Luo guarantees that he will not be able to leave. Not to mention these little shrimps.
Busy, Shandong began to produce a large number of materials and cultivate talents. And Song Jiang also endured the loss and forcibly beat the source cave!
In the end, those who can be by Fang La's side are all masters, not to mention all of them are miraculous and protective of the body, they are also first-class heroes!
This battle is huge!
According to the report of the spies, Liang Shanshen launched a surprise attack in the middle of the night, and half an hour later, the source caves were actually on fire, like daylight! There are even more exotic gods coming, and the light is shining! It's a pity that it didn't take long, and there was a starlight in the sky, and the light gradually stopped...... It wasn't until dawn that the shouts of killing gradually faded away.
Wait until the next day when Liangshan wins and count the losses. Only to find that the Bangyuan Cave almost collapsed. In the place where Fang La was finally encircled and suppressed, there were even more than 400 corpses in the three layers inside and three layers outside! Among them, there are eight heroes in Liangshan! It is said that in the end, Fang La's immortal possessed his body, and when the swords, guns, and sticks hit his body, he would slip to the side, and even hit his accomplices. It is also an extraordinary endurance, fighting for three hours without falling......
On the eve of the final victory, these eight heroes also hung up! Among them were Dadao Guan Sheng, who was supposed to go back alive to enjoy the blessings, and Li Jun, a mixed river dragon who took his brother to build a country overseas when the situation was not good, and others.
I heard that in the end, it was the one-armed Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, who killed Fang La and cut off his head.
However, Lu Zhishen was seriously injured and died later, and finally returned to the light when he was transported to the vicinity of the Qiantang River embankment on August 15. Sitting on the embankment and singing verses, he passed away. And Wu Song also became a complete monk and did not return to the army.
……
Liangshan was disabled this time, dead, wounded, and retired, and the heroes of Liangshan were nine out of ten, and the troops under his command were even more dilapidated and unusable.
By the time Song Jiang returned to Bianliang, Tokyo with Fang La's corpse, it was almost the end of December.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he saw that Xixia was honest over there, and Fang La was also killed. For several days, he ran from the secret passage to the brothel and mingled with famous prostitutes such as Master Li.
Because Song Jiang has been taking the pillow wind route, he has given Li Shishi strong support. Master Li took the opportunity to blow the wind, and Zhao Ji was happy and gave Song Jiang and other remaining heroes an official.
But the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was not the kind of person who was one-hearted and arbitrary. The above is an official, but the specific situation has to be decided by Cai Jing and several other powerful traitors.
Several people communicated in private, all with a cold smile......
……
Outside the city of Linhai in Shandong, a thirteen-zhang high platform was built, and Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, watched the sky at night on it.
After looking at it for a long time, Li Zhu's expression was inexplicable, and then he came to a mansion and said to the young man who was sitting at the desk to correct the documents: "Military advisor, that Liangshan's luck ...... It's ......."
Guo Jia glanced up at him and nodded, "Oh, got it." ”
Guo Jia saw that Li Zhu's expression was not very good, so he put down the pen, sorted out the documents for a while, and said to him: "Why does Mr. Jin Jian feel sad about the rabbit and the fox, do you suspect that the main guild will unload the mill and kill the donkey?" ”
Li Zhu hurriedly shook his head, "The subordinates are just ...... It's just that some of my thoughts are unsettled. ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Song Jiang and the others are detached, and the pattern is not enough, so it is not enough to succeed." What's more, it is normal to not see the situation clearly and be deliberately exhausted. The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty had no talent to govern the world, let alone the amount of people, and they were repeatedly humiliated by foreign countries because of their emphasis on literature and light on military force, and the national fortune would not last. ”
"The lord replaces Zhao Song, and it is inevitable that the monarch will come to Shenzhou. And sir, you should also be aware that the will of the lord encompasses the domain, far beyond the Central Plains! And even more than that! Follow the lord, Mr. Dao can be expected, why bother with the experience of the people in Liangshan, and feel unfair......"
Guo Jia's words leveled Li Zhu, and after Li Zhu retired, he began to settle many strangers under his hands......
The return of this magic star is already in sight, and the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty is coming to an end! These people are dispensable to the lord, and they really can't be called credit, so they have to do something quickly!
……
Although there are about a dozen Liangshan heroes, they returned to Bianliang, Tokyo safely, and got high-ranking officials. But Liangshan has already existed in name only.
Those who can fight in Liangshan basically don't come back. Either he died, or he became a monk or went into seclusion.
And some of the rest, except for a few who were in a group with Song Jiang, the rest also stayed away from Brother Song Jiang. For example, Zhu Wu, the military master of the divine machine, resigned three days after he became an official and disappeared.
The divine doctor An Daoquan continued to be his royal medical officer in Tai Hospital; The purple-haired Emperor Fu Duan was good at Soma and became the ambassador of the Imperial Horse Supervisor; Jin Dajian, a jade arm craftsman, worked in Zhiyin and served in the Imperial Treasure Supervisor of the Inner Palace; The holy hand scholar Xiao Rang is the gentleman of the gate in Cai Jing's mansion!
These four heroes with a skill will never contact Song Jiang and the others again!
Because this high-ranking official is all bought by the flesh and blood of his brothers! When I dreamed back at midnight, I always felt blood dripping from my heart......
It must be said that now following Song Jiang are Wu Yong, Li Kui, Dai Zong, Hua Rong, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Zhang Heng and others.
Needless to say, Wu Yong, Brother Song Jiang's ironcore. People are military advisors, so they don't have to go to the battlefield.
And Li Kui was Song Jiang who was surrounded by him as a guard, so he survived. Otherwise, with Li Kui's temperament and strength, it is inevitable to die on the battlefield.
Dean Dai Zongdai was also assigned the position of a liaison officer in the army, and he basically delivered news, so he didn't drop much.
Tong Wei and Tong Meng, as water armies, were lucky not to die.
Zhang Heng is the elder brother of Zhang Shun, who is white in the waves, and he also made great contributions and captured Fang La's son Fang Tianding. But on the way back, I got sick, and now I don't have a good job.
And Hua Rong died after returning to Tokyo!
According to the subordinates, an eagle feather letter arrow suddenly shot outside Hua Rong's mansion that day, and it shot right in front of Hua Rong's face.
The man who shot the arrow was not in sight, and he didn't know who it was.
After Hua Rong read the text message, he chased him out with a bow and gun, and it took a long time to come back. After that, he rushed away with the widowed girl and never came back.
Later, officials found Hua Rong's body in the wild, but his sister never saw it again.
According to the subordinates, Hua Rong went out for most of the hour, and when he came back, he changed his clothes, and his demeanor was not the same.
However, the clothes of Hua Rong's body that the officials later found were still in civilian clothes that night and had not been changed.
Because of Hua Rong's death, Li Kui, Tong Wei, Tong Meng and others also made a big fuss.
As a result, Gao Taiwei, Cai Jing and others said to Zhao Ji: Song Jiang and others are difficult to change, and they are afraid of rebellion in the future......
In addition, at that time, Yan Qing had already sneaked back to Bianliang and picked up Master Li. Zhao Ji had a grassland above his head and was on fire.
So, in early March after the next year, Tong Wei and Tong Meng drank and misbehaved, delayed the military plane, and were sent to prison.
In late March, Zhang Heng died of a long-term illness under the treatment of the imperial doctor.
In mid-April, Dai Zong was sent to a Taoist academy as the presiding officer, and suddenly went crazy and laughed and died violently.
In late April, Song Jiang was given imperial wine, and at the same time, Tong Wei and Tong Meng were sentenced to beheading.
The imperial wine that Song Jiang drank was poisonous, and it did not have a direct attack at that time, but it was a severe pain in the abdomen a day later. After all, Song Jiang is an old Jianghu, and when he asked the doctor, the poison had entered the marrow, and there was no treatment.
Song Jiang sat alone in the hall with a gloomy face.
Since their triumphant return, the brothers and others have long been separated, and now Fang knows that the traitors have already had murderous intentions. It's just that the matter has come to this point, so it's better to leave behind the reputation......
Later, Song Jiang called Li Kui, who was far away in Runzhou, overnight and tricked him into drinking poisonous wine......
Half a month after Song Jiang was buried, Wu quietly came to the grave alone. After unwrapping the package and offering the sacrificial incense and candles, Wu Yong hanged himself with his belt on the tree next to him......
Since then, the magic star has returned to its position, and Liangshan has happened.
……
As soon as Song Jiang died here, a thin lama with a face like purple gold in the country of Jin suddenly got up and laughed.
He came to the palace unimpeded all the way and met Wanyan Wu, the lord of the Jin Kingdom.
I didn't see him shouting loudly, but the old lama's voice echoed in the hall like a flood bell and a big lu: "Your Majesty, the day when Dajin enters the Central Plains has come!" ”
