Chapter 447 Survive (please subscribe!)
...

The Eastern Front has been temporarily stabilized by strong soldiers and brave generals and good planners.

But what about the west line?
On the western front, Song Army Yang Keshi and Liu Zhenbu are now desperately attacking Yuling Pass day and night, and it is also in danger.

Guard Pang Wanchun has asked for help many times.

Fang La also sent Lu Shinang, Qiu Rixin and others to rescue them with an army of [-].

But even so, Yuling Pass may still be in danger.

……

Qingxi County, the temple of Manichaeism.

Chen Kuutong bowed to the ground and said: "Shenggong, as long as one of Muzhou and Shezhou is not protected, Qingxi will be attacked by the army. Therefore, we must send another 2 horses to the eastern front. In addition, please send Liangshan to the fourth chamber Quickly reinforce the Western Front!"

Not long ago, after the fall of Xiuzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, Quzhou also fell. The rebel general Zheng Mowang was captured, and then Wuzhou also fell. At the same time, Tong Guan personally led the army to pursue the victory. The other cities occupied by the rebel army caused Fangla's rebel army to be defeated in the direction of Qingxi County.

In fact, Fang La's army was defeated so quickly, the main reason was Fang La's group.

Although Fang La and his gang used religion and people's resistance to the Song court to organize the regime, their organization was not strict and they lacked a clear political program.

For the captured local officials, Fang La and his gang indiscriminately cut off their flesh, cut off their bodies, took their lungs and intestines, or boiled them into ointment, pierced them with random arrows, tortured them in various ways, and demanded blood debts. , In order to relieve the hatred in the heart, this cruel means of revenge also greatly restricted the development of Fang Layi's army.

Furthermore, Fang La and his gang used the rebel army to manage the area he occupied, and the soldiers in the rebel army, especially the local ruffians in the rebel army, wreaked havoc on the village. What's more, they burned houses, plundered gold, women, and lured Forcing good people to join the uprising army, it can be said that rape, looting and looting are all-encompassing.

This is only on Fang La's side.

Let's talk about Song Jun's side.

It is true that Tong Guan is a minister, he is greedy for money, he likes to make great achievements, and he is selfish, but looking at Tong Guan's life, especially so far, Tong Guan is actually worthy of his position.

Because of helping Cai Jing ascend to the position of prime minister for the second time, Tong Guan was able to serve as the supervisor of the Western Army.

Afterwards, Zhao Ji sent Wang Hou and Tong Guan to lead the army to conquer Qingtang and Qiang in the west, and regained the lost land. The soldiers of Song Dynasty pointed directly at Qinghai Lake.

In his post as supervisor of the army, Tong Guan did not restrain the commander-in-chief Wang Hou, on the contrary, he supported the commander-in-chief Wang Hou to send troops to fight against the emperor's will. The two regained the Qingtang area in one fell swoop, which greatly expanded the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan's military ability and courage have already been seen.

Afterwards, Tong Guan led the army to attack Tubo and Xixia, and his exploits were outstanding, and his power shocked the northwest.

As far as the matter is concerned, if it weren't for the outbreak of the Fangla uprising, and the subsequent recovery of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, Tong Guan might have been able to recover Xixia. , because the Song Dynasty could not regain Xixia because it was unable to cross the natural danger of Hengshan), and later the Song Dynasty adopted the strategy and tactics of "building a fortress, step by step", while Xixia was tit-for-tat, building a city and defending the danger without giving up an inch of land. Tong Guan, at least during Tong Guan's tenure, The Song army began to gain the upper hand, and even saw that it was about to completely occupy the Hengshan area. It might be a matter of time before the Western Xia was recovered, but at this time, internal problems occurred frequently in the Song Dynasty. The most important thing was the outbreak of Fang La The uprising, in the end, could only transfer the Western Army who was preparing to recover Xixia to put out the fire, which can be said to be a failure.

All in all, Tong Guan is actually quite capable of fighting.

Although the Fangla uprising was massive, its main reason was based on the army setup of the Song Dynasty.

The local army of the Song Dynasty, that is, the Xiang army, was mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and had no combat effectiveness at all.

In the face of such an army, the peasant uprising army can naturally rely on its numerical advantage and hatred for the imperial court to destroy it.

But replaced by Tongguan and Xijun who can fight, Fang La and his peasant armed forces, which have risen in a short period of time, cannot compete.

Therefore, in just a few months, Tong Guan led the western army to recover most of the areas occupied by Fang La, and sent a large army to attack Huanglong.

Now, the East Route Army's Wang Bing's Department has arrived at Muzhou City. After passing through Muzhou City, they can attack Qingxi County, Fangla's old nest. The West Route Army's Yang Keshi and Liu Zhenbu have also attacked Yuling Pass. If Yuling Pass conquers Shezhou, it will also be able to attack Qingxi County.

In other words, the Fangla uprising army is now in a losing position.

Fang La was very hesitant about Chen Kuutong's proposal!
Others don't know, but Fang La knows very well in his heart that Li Yan, like him, is also a villain through and through. He said that to support him for the sake of promise and loyalty, and leave him a way out, it's all fucking bullshit. The reason why Li Yan sent an army He came here to receive his troops and equipment, just like Li Yan received the legacy of Tian Hu and Wang Qing back then.

It's just that Li Yan's methods are high, and his vision is also vicious. He calculated that Fang La would fall to where he is today.

"Gao Ming, really smart, no wonder he is so successful, I can only..."

Now that he has seen through Li Yan's character, Fang La's heart is like a mirror. Li Yan can tolerate anyone, but Fang La is the only one who can't tolerate him. He will definitely take in Li Yan's subordinates, and at the same time try every means to kill Li Yan.

Therefore, from the original intention, Fang La really didn't want Li Yan's people to get involved!

It was precisely because of this that despite repeated defeats, Fang La never let the fourth chamber of Liangshan come to support him.

However, now that it was time for their power to survive, if Fang La refused to let Li Yan's army come to support him, then his subordinates would definitely not agree.

After pondering for a long time, Fang La finally said: "Okay, tell Li Jun... let Liangshan's fourth chamber reinforce the western front."

Seeing Fang La loose mouth, everyone was overjoyed, including even Fang Qifo and other Fang family members.

Fang La was very uncomfortable seeing this scene, "I knew it was like this, back then..."

There are too many things that Fang La needs to regret. For example, he did not agree with Li Yan’s proposal of a joint attack on the Song Dynasty by the four families. For example, he should listen to the opinions of a group of military advisers to save Wang Qing. The army, for example, should go north first and then south instead of south and then north, for example...

pity!

There is no regret drug sale in this world!
Three days later, the Song army broke through Yuling Pass, and Pang Wanchun, Lu Shinang, Qiu Rixin and others retreated to Shezhou with the remnants of the army.

The Song army followed closely, broke through Shezhou in one fell swoop, and then went straight to Qingxi County to catch Fangla and his gang.

Ok!

Just when Shezhou was about to be breached by the Song army, Sun Li brought the vanguard of the fourth chamber to Shezhou, boosted the morale of Fang Layi's army, and repelled the attack.

Soon, Yang Zhi took his headquarters (Liangshan No.12 Army) to Shezhou, and then completely stabilized the Shezhou defense line.

At the same time, Hua Rong personally led the rest of the troops in the fourth wing to open up the road from Shezhou to Wenzhou Port, and re-fortified.

In this way, not only the logistics supply of Sun Li's and Yang Zhi's departments was guaranteed, but also Fang La's gang had a way to survive, and they could retreat to Wenzhou Port when they lost the enemy.

There are more than 500 large ships of the fleet on which the sun never sets...
