Chapter 288: Setting up envoys in the southeast

In the backyard of Zhuque Temple in Jiangdu County, Yangzhou, a toddler over one year old was staggering on the grass. Liu Guozhang, who was wearing a vermillion flying fish suit, tied his front collar to his belt and followed behind, with his hands outstretched, carefully guarding him.

Murong Jun, wearing a green horse-faced skirt, sat beside him with a happy face, looking at the father and daughter.

After playing for two-quarters of an hour, the child got tired and quickly fell asleep after drinking milk. He was given to the woman to carry him to bed. Murong Jun and Liu Guozhang sat down in the pavilion.

"You're such a cruel guy, you just came to see our mother and daughter now."

"In the past two years, first in Shaanxi and then in Mobei, I have been running around everywhere. I really have no time to spare."

"I have to thank Fang La this time. If he hadn't rebelled, the officials would not have sent you to the southeast."

"You have to thank him. He killed a lot of people in the southeast, and he killed many of your enemies. This method of killing with a borrowed knife only hurts the people."

"Have you suffered the common people? Haha, I didn't expect that Liu Erlang, who beheaded hundreds of thousands of heads in the northwest, Mobei, actually became a Buddha on the spot and became compassionate.

Why didn't anyone pity them when Zhu Meng caused trouble? When the people in western Zhejiang were squeezed into pawning their wives and selling their daughters, why didn't anyone pity them? You said it yourself, only by tearing down all the old things can you build something new.

The high-wheel vehicles are passing by, and there are little flowers and grass on the roadside. Who pities them? "

"Haha, the hospital master still understands me."

"You think that far ahead?"

"Okay, let's not talk about these disappointing things. Let's talk about Liu Dazhi's strategy to quell the chaos and see if this little girl can cooperate with you."

"Of course I know everything about you. But I didn't expect that you only mobilized 6,000 people. How are you going to fight this battle?"

"Naturally, we will train troops locally. First, 15,000 young men will be drawn from Desheng, Desui, and Changshui, and then 30,000 young men will be drawn from the two rural soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. They will be stationed in She County, Shezhou, and Wuxi, Changzhou.

There are many things that can be done.

"Dongnan originally thought that you would dispatch 100,000 troops from the Western Army to quell the chaos. But I know your thoughts, and I will definitely not transfer that many. You are more training troops in Southeast."

"This time I have transferred 6,000 people, 1,000 officers, and 5,000 veterans from the Western Army. Most of them come from Hehuang and the mountains along the border. They are good at climbing mountains and ridges, and are good at infantry fighting. There are not many cavalry, only a small part. ”

Liu Guozhang shook his head, "Such a topic is too heavy. Besides, it is a bit disrespectful for us to talk about becoming a Buddha immediately in a Taoist temple."

"Then how do you fight?"

Seeing Liu Guozhang's expression, Murong Jun didn't want to throw all his emotions on him.

It's just as long as the person comes, why do you have to act like a resentful woman and vent your anger when you meet her.

With 45,000 infantry troops and 6,000 elite soldiers from the Western Army as coaches, they can be trained quickly. "

After not seeing each other for a while, Murong Jun became more aggressive and fearless.

Murong Jun glanced at him and said disdainfully: "I gave birth to a daughter and raised a daughter in the Taoist temple, and I didn't see Sanqing criticizing me, so why should I be afraid!
My father respected heaven and earth, respected his ancestors, and respected his clan, but the result was that he died young. You are a pest, causing trouble everywhere, even me. You have not been punished by God. Therefore, God bullies the weak and fears the strong. "

"I had already known Fang Tianbao at that time and knew that he was Fang La's son." Liu Guozhang replied meaningfully.

"When Huaibei Tian Wenhu was pacified and the Desheng, Desui, and Changshui armies were settled, it was already decided how this battle would be fought."

Murong Jun pondered for a while, "I understand what you mean. The climate in the southeast is completely different from that in the northwest. If the elites of the Western Army are transferred here, in case of an epidemic, the gain outweighs the loss. It is safe for you to do this. But if you do this, it will be three or five times. If you can't attack for a month, you are not afraid that Fang La will continue to attack the city? "

"Fang La had no ambitions. He occupied the city of Hangzhou and was dazzled by the colorful world. He called himself the Emperor of Wu, made Hangzhou his capital, made great heroes, and attracted beautiful women. He was determined to separate his kingdom and enjoy it with peace of mind.

Don’t you have a navy army in your hands? Adapted by Donghai Yicong, they harassed Hangzhou, Xiu, and Yuezhou many times, making Fang La tired of dealing with them. Then transport reinforcements to Mingzhou via waterway. That is my nominal festival land. If Fang La takes it away, I will lose face. "

"I have a rough idea of ​​your idea. Defend in the south and attack in the north. Defend Mingzhou in the south, move south along the canal from Wuxi in the north, and move eastward along the Xin'an River from She County in Shezhou in the west. Camp step by step, fight steadily. Finally encircle Fangla in Hangzhou City. Right?"

"Half right."

"Half of it? There's the other half."

"Do you know where has the most Jinshi since the founding of the Song Dynasty?"

Murong Jun thought for a while, "Su Hang?"

"No."

"Jiangnan West Road?"

"Not at all."

"where is that?"

"Fujian Road!"

"Fujian Road?" Murong Jun pondered, "I have been in Yangzhou for the past two years, promoting maritime trade. It is difficult for the ships under my command to pass through Quanzhou. The southern trade route is controlled by the Pu, Liang, and He families in Quanzhou and Guangzhou. ”

"When I have the opportunity to come to Southeast, I naturally want to get things done right away. Fang La looks ferocious, but in my eyes, he is no different from Tian Wenhu, just an enlarged version.

So I decided on a strategy for the southeast, three parts military and seven parts economic. "

"In the name of pacifying Fangla, we can hold the economic lifeline of the Southeast in our hands. Even if the local government is replaced by someone again, we will be able to deal with it calmly. Erlang, you really want to solve the Southeast issue at once."

"Well, now the officials are becoming more and more wary of me. Except for the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, it is difficult for me to be released to lead the army in war. The time has not come yet, so I have to continue to pretend."

"My uncle still has some skills. The fierce party struggle between the emperor and his father was completely resolved by him. Now in the court, his imperial brush is better than anything else. make."

"It's different. The former emperors of Temple and Zhemiao had ideals in governance and naturally had a bottom line. It's different for officials. His bottom line is to eat, drink and have fun. Naturally, he is surrounded by a group of treacherous ministers.

The ministers in the court only want to flatter the superiors and bully the inferiors. They only compete for power and gain, but have no moral integrity. As time goes by, there will naturally be no more party struggles like Yuanfeng and Shaosheng. "

Murong Jun clutched his chest and gasped, "If you don't talk about these things, I will get angry if you talk about them. My grandpa, my father's foundation, was completely destroyed by my uncle."

Her ups and downs of breasts caught Liu Guozhang's attention. After giving birth to their daughter, they had indeed grown a lot, but the exact size was unknown.

It just so happens that I have a spirit of exploration and truth-seeking, so I must see it clearly today.

Sensing Liu Guozhang's piercing eyes, Murong Jun raised his beautiful eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Last time you said in your letter that you wanted to give your eldest sister a younger brother. I think this matter is very urgent and imminent."

"Is it more urgent than the pacification of Fang La?"

"The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Are you in a hurry?"

Murong Jun chuckled, with charming eyes, stood up, and walked to the back room. Liu Guozhang looked around and followed him in.

An hour later, Liu Guozhang was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, his eyes a little dull, as if his body had been completely hollowed out!
The opponent is powerful! This battle was quite tragic.
