Chapter 684: Invasion of the [Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Gou] World

At the same time, the demise of the [Red Coat Army Fang Guo San] world naturally also attracted the attention of the [Red Coat Army Yang Anguo] world.

After many days, no one reported the news. Yang Anguo spent his luck to list [Zhao Zhen of Liang] as a hostile country. He also issued a bounty within the [Red Coat Army Alliance], offering a Jin Marshal token as a reward to the first person to capture a city in the world from [Zhao Zhen of Liang].

Not to mention the undercurrents in the [Red Coat Army Alliance], each of them sent spies to the [Liang State Zhao Zhen] world to inquire.

Just take Zhao Zhen and others as an example. After they returned from Chaocheng, they were announcing a great victory everywhere.

By seizing large tracts of land, Liang's national strength was further enhanced.

In this battle, more than 10,000 Red Coat Army soldiers were captured, 4,000 of them were kept, and the rest were released back to their hometowns.

There were countless weapons, but after looking at them, I realized that most of them were crudely made. The same was true for armor.

The usable ones were picked out, and the rest were sent to the Military Equipment Bureau for recasting.

There was not a single spiritual seed or plant left in the entire Chaocheng County. The only Huangsha warhorse that had made it to the next level had its hindquarters injured by Yang Xiong.

In addition, Fang Guosan's armor and broadsword were all second-level items, along with the yellow sand horse, and were all awarded to Yang Xiong.

The only thing worth mentioning is the Chaocheng County treasury, which stores a lot of grain and fodder, enough to sustain the military and civilians in the city for three years.

In fact, apart from this city and the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, it is still not as good as the gains in the world of [Zhi Shilang Wang Bo].

At the very least, there are seven or eight sets of entry-level weapons and armor, and four entry-level war horses.

This shows how poor the Red Jacket Army was.

On that day, Zhao Zhen was discussing with Wu Yong and others whether they should fight with Zhao Huan of Song.

Ji Qingwan said, "Your Majesty, I thought we could attack the [Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Gou] world."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Ji Qingwan.

Ji Qingwan continued, "Your Majesty, we have learned from the captured Song soldiers that the current [Song State Zhao Huan] world was born from your fantasy world."

"I think that its allies [Southern Song Zhao Gou] and [Sichuan and Shaanxi Army] should also be one. In addition, the king used the luck to search and found that the world of [Huaixi Wang Qing and Song Jiang] also existed as evidence. This [Southern Song Zhao Gou] must have occupied the original Jiangnan area."

"Although Jiangnan is now pacified, there are probably many people who are loyal to the Holy Lord. As the Holy Lord's successor, Your Majesty, a call from a high position will be a help."

After hearing this, Wu Yong said, "Lord, why don't you call the two men outside the palace, [Sky-supporting God] Shen Gang and [Giant Spirit God] Shen Ze, to ask for advice? If there is still resistance in Jiangnan, this is indeed a good opportunity to send troops."

Soon, [Sky-holding God] Shen Gang and [Giant Spirit God] Shen Ze came to the hall and listened to Wu Yong's questions.

Both of them said, "The Holy Lord was killed, and we scattered like dogs. When things got urgent, the Holy Lord said that we could come to Jingdong Road to seek refuge with the king, so we two came together. There were many checkpoints on the road, and many people were left behind."

After listening to what the two said, Zhao Zhen made up his mind and immediately spent his luck to declare war on the world of Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty.

[Zhao Gou of Southern Song], who had been busy pacifying the local area, was shocked when he received the news of [Zhao Zhen of Liang]'s invasion.

Looking at the information about enemy countries brought about by the alliance with [Song Dynasty Zhao Huan], Zhao Gou felt resentful but had nowhere to vent.

Now the court is mostly composed of the emperor's old ministers. The Privy Councilor was originally the governor of Liangzhe, Tan Zhen, and the deputy Privy Councilor was Wang Yuan. The military commanders Liu Yanqing, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Wu Jie and others were all like this. Zhao Gou was also very helpless about the current situation. The Miao and Liu rebelled in the country, Fang La's old subordinates, Yang Yao in Dongting Lake rebelled, and the vassal states refused to obey the court. It was very confusing.

Fortunately, during these days, Zhao Gou won over a number of middle and lower-level generals including Yang Yi Zhong, Zhao Mi, Jie Qian, Liu Xi, Liu Qi, and Wang Yan, as well as their elite troops, to form three yamen troops loyal to him.

He also conferred titles on a large scale, including the titles of Grand Marshal, Grand Tutor, and military governors in various places, and the situation was finally generally stabilized.

Now that there was an external invasion, Zhao Gou was thinking about how to weaken the military commanders in various places in order to maintain his own rule.

After much deliberation, it was decided to defeat the Miao and Liu rebellion and flee out of Lin'an, occupying Fuzhou Road which borders the Liang State.

Ask Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan to fight with Zhao Zhen. No matter what the result is, he can reap the benefits.

If Liang State wins, Miao and Liu will suffer heavy casualties, and he will be able to send troops to recapture Fujian Road.

If Liang State is defeated, it can also cause damage to Fujian Road. If it comes a few more times, there is no doubt that we will be able to deal with Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, the two traitors.

Three days later, Zhao Zhen personally led the army, set out from Chaocheng, and entered the world of [Zhao Gou of Southern Song Dynasty].

As soon as they reached the border, the Liang soldiers had to stop. At the border, all they saw was an endless sea.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to transfer the [Huying Camp] and [River Patrol Camp] on the nearby Tuhai River.

[Living Yama] Ruan Xiaoqi, [Emerging Dragon] Tong Wei, and [Dragon of the River] Li Jun were very happy to hear the order. They led 200 large and small warships and 6,000 naval forces into the sea, accompanied by 5,000 men from the Infantry Brave Battalion.

Fortunately, the sea was calm at this time, and everyone watched the fleet go away from the shore.

Four hours later, [Water Dividing Rhino] Zhu Xiaoba and [Submerging Kun] Yu Gui returned with two knife fishing boats. They met Zhao Zhen and reported, "My Lord, we are going to fight our way ashore. Across the way is Putian County of Xinghua Army."

"Right now, General Li Kui is setting up camp outside Putian City. Commanders Li Jun and Ruan Xiaoqi asked us to come and report the news. We will return by boat later to escort the army across the sea."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to everyone, "It's Fujian Road."

Wu Yong asked, "Can you tell me who the guard is?"

Yu Gui said: "I heard from the villagers that the Fujian Road is now ruled by Miao Fu as the governor, and Liu Zhengyan as the deputy governor. The Xinghua Army is under the command of Miao Yi, the younger brother of the governor Miao Fu."

"I heard from the people that Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan once held the emperor hostage, were defeated and expelled, occupied Fujian Road, and proclaimed themselves Jiedushi. They once fought with the imperial court, but now the two sides are at peace."

Wu Yong heard this and laughed, "Congratulations, my lord! This is Zhao Gou's way of using you to clean up the rebellion in the country. We only need to deal with one area of ​​troops in Fujian Road, and even Zhao Gou's troops will take the opportunity to charge into Fujian Road. Perhaps our expedition this time will be much smoother."

"Now, please order the allocation of a fleet to patrol the coast, and perhaps we can make achievements elsewhere."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen agreed with it deeply.

Bu Qing, the Taihu Dragon, and Ni Yun, the Curly-haired Tiger, who were stationed at Weishan Lake, were dispatched to lead a hundred large and small warships, three thousand naval officers and soldiers, and the grain boats in the Liangshan Lake to come to support and transport troops.

The Guard Cavalry Battalion led by [No Feathered Arrow] Zhang Qing was left behind to guard the border with the sea.

It took Zhao Zhen's army two days to cross the sea.
