Qian Song

Chapter 124 Li Cun is back (ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

The Song army and Fang Layi's army are about to face off. How could Li Cun still sit on Diaoyutai and stay in Fuzhou?
You know, when Fang Layi's army was wiped out by the Song army, it was the time when the Huben army and the Song army faced off head-on.

That or those few battles must be the battle that will determine the fate of the Huben Army.

If he didn't make complete preparations, wouldn't Li Cunna wait to be escorted to Beijing to be hacked to pieces, and his wives and children who were about to be born would also be implicated by him, all of which would end badly.

Moreover, Fang La may not be reliable, what if he is not as firm as in history and votes for Zhao Song?What if he wants to pull a backrest before he dies, and let go of a gap, and invite Song Jun to beat him?What if he reached some nasty agreement with Zhao Song, and the two would unite to beat him?

There is no such thing as a war that can be won 100%, only the more you count, the more you win, and the less you count, the more you win.

So Li Cun came back, and he came back the day before yesterday.

However, Li Cun didn't say anything, and even made people pretend that he was still in Fuzhou.

Li Cun came to Fang Baihua's side, gently helped Fang Baihua to sit down, and then said to Fang Baihua: "There are many mountains in the south of Zhejiang. I am afraid that my brother will not want the land of several states in the west of Zhejiang. The whole army will withdraw to the south of Zhejiang. When I am here, it will be me In the decisive battle between the Huben army and the Song army, he was watching from the sidelines, so I will force his army to withdraw from southern Zhejiang, and without southern Zhejiang, the only way left is to defeat the Song army and enter Jingxiang to develop."

Li Cun also said: "Besides, I have acquired Fujian, but not southern Zhejiang. Our lands cannot be connected together, and it is easy to be divided and attacked by the enemy."

After listening to Li Cun's explanation, Fang Baihua felt much better.

She said: "Officials don't have to talk about this with their concubines. This is a major military matter. How can an official plan a breakup for a woman?"

Li Cun said very gratified: "Because it's you, I just say this."

"Because it's you" these four simple words made Fang Baihua's heart skip a beat.

Li Cun had a lot of women. During his trip to Fujian, Li Cun brought back more than a dozen daughters of aristocratic families in Fujian.

But Fang Baihua knew very well that no matter how many women Li Cun had, she would always be the most special one.

That's enough.

Fang Baihua did not continue this topic, but asked Li Cun: "Who will the officials choose to sleep with tonight? Otherwise, as an official, the concubine chooses one or two?"

Li Cun said with a smile: "It's far away from the sky and close to our eyes."

Hearing Li Cun's words, Fang Baihua was very happy, but she said: "Since the official came back, I have been sleeping in my concubine's room for two days, and my body is heavy... Otherwise, I will arrange for Kong, One or two of the four, Shen, You, and Yao, accompanied the officials. Since the four of them fought, the officials only met once before they went out to fight, but that time the four of them hadn't conceived yet..."

Li Cun interrupted Fang Baihua's recommendation, and said in a low voice: "If I don't sleep in your room for three days, how can you be a stable wife?"

Li Cun said again: "Furthermore, I will sleep with you in my arms, and I will sleep soundly."

"Don't try to persuade me again, arrange it quickly."

After speaking, Li Cun patted Fang Baihua's butt and urged her to go quickly.

Fang Baihua knew that Li Cun was coaxing her, if Li Cun really could only sleep peacefully if he hugged her to sleep, then how did Li Cun get here these past few months?
You know, but it doesn't affect Fang Baihua's happiness at all.

The reason is simple, Li Cundu already has this status, and there are so many women, but they are still willing to coax her with rhetoric, isn't it better than the truth?

The point is, as Li Cun said, if Li Cun doesn't stay in her room for a few nights after he comes back, how can she control the daughters of those aristocratic families?

……

In the past few days, Zhang Shi, who has always kept a low profile, suddenly became very active.

Zhang Shixian took Li Cun's "imperial decree" to dispatch troops and ordered the [-] troops of the Erganzi Department and Huo Chengfu Department to go south, forcing Qiu Daoren to either withdraw from Yuezhou to west Zhejiang, or accept the reorganization of the Huben Army.

When Qiu Daoren was neither willing to withdraw from Yuezhou nor accept the reorganization of the Huben Army, "Zhang Shi" ordered the six armies of Zhu Yan, Wu Bang, Jiang Cai, Dong Ju, Wang Guo, and Zhu's in Wuzhou to advance eastward.

Looking at the posture of the Huben army, if Taoist Qiu dared to delay any longer, the 15 army would attack Qiu Taoren's troops.

Qiu Taoist considered again and again, and finally chose to lead his 5 to [-] people to leave Yuezhou and go to Chuzhou.

After Qiu Daoren left Yuezhou, the Erganzi Division occupied Yuezhou, and then according to the order of "Zhang Shi", they carried out a comprehensive elimination of the landlord armed forces in Yuezhou and Mingzhou, leaving no one behind.

Simply put:

Either these gentry and nobles opened the gates themselves, and the Huben Army disbanded their family's farmers (those who were willing to vote for the Huben Army, the Huben Army accepted them, and those who were unwilling to vote for the Huben Army, the Huben Army paid them severance pay), and then the Huben Army only needed the title deed , IOUs, armor, war horses, ships, food, and materials for manufacturing armor and ships, etc. In addition, the family must send at least half of the literati to serve in the Huben Army according to the number of literati it owns. Finally, those influential families One or two women had to be selected by the officials of the Huben Army Licao to enter Li Cun's "harem".

Either these gentry and nobles will fight to the end, then the Huben army will choose to attack by force. After they are defeated, all the men will go to the public trial platform to be tried by the public. Filled into the Huben Army Li Cao, waiting to be married to a meritorious soldier of the Huben Army, of course, if he really can get down from the public trial stand, the Huben Army will immediately pardon him and not commit any crimes against his family.

While Er Ganzi and others pulled out all the nails in the Yuezhou mirror, Huo Chengfu continued to lead his troops south, and Yu Daoan also sent troops out of Wenzhou.

But a little different from his toughness towards Qiu Daoren, Yu Daoan went to meet his old friend Lu Shinang in person, and persuaded Lu Shinang to surrender and accept the reorganization of the Huben Army.

Yu Daoan told Lu Shinang a lot, saying that Fang La is no good, that Fang La's rebel army is over, that Li Cunying is wise and strategic, open-minded, good at knowing people and responsible, has the ability to be a leader, etc., etc...

But Lu Shinang is a kind person. He feels that if Fang Layi's army develops so well that he is no longer needed, he may leave at this time, but now is the most dangerous time for Fang Layi's army. What has he become?
Therefore, Lu Shinang ordered that those who are willing to vote for the Huben Army can stay and accept the reorganization of the Huben Army, and those who are unwilling to vote for the Huben Army can go to Chuzhou with him.

In the end, more than 2 people chose to stay and accept the reorganization of the Huben Army, and then Lu Shinang went to Chuzhou with more than 3 loyal followers of Manichaism.

After taking Taizhou, the Huben Army followed the examples of Yuezhou and Mingzhou and began to clean up the armed forces of landlords in Taizhou...

After that, the Erganzi Division, Huo Chengfu Division, Yu Daoan Division, and Wuzhou's Zhu Yan, Wu Bang, Jiang Cai, Dong Ju, Wang Guo, and Zhu's six armies encircled Chuzhou, forcing Fang Wuxiang, who was entrenched in Chuzhou, to , Qiu Daoren and Lu Shinang left Chuzhou for West Zhejiang...

"Zhang Shi"'s military operation this time is very simple, with four purposes.

The first purpose is to open up the territory of the Huben Army, connect the eastern Zhejiang region with Fujian, and increase the strategic depth of the Huben Army.

The second purpose is to pull out the nails in the Huben army's territory so that they don't belong to the Song Dynasty when the Huben army and the Song army are fighting, or even stab the knife from the back of the Huben army.

The third purpose is to force Fang Layi's army to withdraw to the west of Zhejiang and fight the Song army.

The fourth purpose is to prevent Fang La from withdrawing to Gouqi in southern Zhejiang to push the Huben army to the front line.

Fang Wuxianggong has an army of 10,000+ in his hands, plus Qiu Daoren's and Lu Shinang's troops, it may not be impossible to fight the Huben army.

But the question is, can this battle be fought?

Their Fang Layi army went all out to fight the Song army, and it was hard to know the outcome, let alone after fighting the Huben army once?
Fang Wuxianggong immediately sent someone to ask Fang La for instructions.

Fang La already knew that Li Cun was planning to seize the southern Zhejiang area, not really wanting to start a war with him.

To be honest, Fang La really wanted to fight Li Cun desperately to see who was the best of the two.

But Fang La knew that there was no way out.

Now, Fang La's only chance is to defeat the Song army, and then move westward to enter the Jingxiang area for development.

Of course, Fang La can also choose to vote for Song.

But Fang La has many shortcomings.

But in the matter of anti-Song, Fang La, who had suffered from Zhao Song's dark rule, never wavered.

In this respect, Fang La is really not comparable to speculators like Hong Zai.

After he hid in his room and lost his temper, Fang La ordered that Fang Wuxiang's Ministry, Qiu Daoren's Ministry, and Lu Shinang's Ministry, including Quzhou's Zheng Demon King, all withdraw to West Zhejiang, and Fang Qifo's Ministry also withdrew from North Zhejiang. Come on, prepare to fight the Song army.

Although Li Cun asked Fang La to ask for Xinzhou, in fact, "Zhang Shi" did not even completely occupy Quzhou - "Zhang Shi" took the Xin'an River as the boundary, only occupied the area east of the Xin'an River, and relied on the Xin'an Jiangbu defense.

It is worth mentioning that when people from western Zhejiang learned that a war was about to break out in western Zhejiang, they flooded into eastern Zhejiang in large numbers.

If these refugees are not handled properly, they may become an unstable factor in the area controlled by the Huben Army.

Therefore, General Lu and other officials of the Huben Army distributed porridge spots to relieve these refugees, and at the same time sent people to lobby these refugees to join the Huben Army or immigrate to Liuqiu.

Needless to say, those who join the Huben Army, as long as they are selected by the officials of the Huben Army soldier Cao, they will be given the land in southern Zhejiang to make their families stable.

It only refers to those who are unwilling to join the Huben Army, and it can also be said to those refugees who are unwilling to be soldiers and civilian husbands.

The officials of the Huben Army told these refugees that not only the west of Zhejiang was going to war, but also the east of Zhejiang would soon have a war, and there might be chaos in the world, and the remote Liuqiu would definitely not fight, and there was a lot of fertile wasteland there. People who go there own as much land as they reclaim, and there is a three-year tax exemption there, and they also provide work in lieu of relief, which is a stable way of life.

Those who have a strong sense of the countryside are not "bewitched" by the officials of the Huben Army.

For these people, the Huben Army did not treat them politely, and directly deported them.

——This is not to blame the Huben Army, you don’t want to join the Huben Army, and you don’t want to immigrate, so what do you want to do, just want to eat and drink with me every day, and be a rioter?
But there are also people who have had enough of the war and wanted to escape the war, and chose to live the difficult but stable life.

As a result, the Huben army began to transport people to Liuqiu, which is still a barren land, one by one...

At 04:30 in the morning, this is almost equivalent to an extra night of work.

Brothers, for the sake of my hard work, can you reward me with a few chapters of monthly tickets?
