In the midst of a war involving tens of thousands of fighters, even a great master or a celestial being, once entangled by the army formation, would likely fall on the battlefield as long as there were a few powerful fighters harassing them.

At the same time, on the west road of Jiangnan, on both sides of the Huai River.

Under Murong Longcheng's order, Fang La led an army of 20,000 and also marched south and east, hoping to create pressure from the side on the imperial court, which already had few soldiers.

But unfortunately, the world's number one genius, Yang Zhao, suddenly appeared.

On the Huai River, Yang Zhao led Fang Baihua, Jing Wei, Yan Fei, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, Qiao Feng and others, and fought a series of battles with Fang La's side in the form of a duel of generals, which shocked the entire Jiangnan region.

It was not until this time that the people of the Song Dynasty realized that under Yang Zhao's command, there were already so many geniuses and powerful people at the grandmaster level.

The situation seems to be becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Murong family.

At this time, someone suggested to Murong Bo that he could use Fang La's prestige in the six southeastern states to directly cut off the source of the problem, wipe out the six southeastern states, and drive Tong Guan's 200,000 troops into the south of the Yangtze River.

The land of Jiangnan is small, and it is not easy to support the two large armies of Xin Qiji and Yang Zhao.

As long as Tong Guan's army was driven into the south of the Yangtze River, it would trigger numerous conflicts among Tong Guan, Xin Qiji, Yang Zhao and others, and it would not take long before internal chaos would break out.

At that time, Murong only needs to send people to tightly block the Yangtze River coast and the southeast entrance, and the imperial army will be trapped to death.

Murong Longcheng was very happy to get this brilliant idea.

Soon, Murong Longcheng, in the name of the Lord of Great Yan, conferred the title of Yongle Shenggong on Fang La, and allowed him to march lightly, detour south through Jiangxi, and conquer the southeast in the name of Great Yan.

The reason why Yang Zhao, Fang La and others dragged on for so long.

The purpose was to make the Murong family willingly take the blame for the chaos in the southeast.

Anyway, in the manifesto that was sent to the world, the first thing mentioned was Dayan and the last thing mentioned was Murong clan. In a word, Fang La did the bad things and put the blame on Murong clan.

An article entitled "Exhortation to Punish the Southeast" quickly spread throughout the world.

Then, within just half a month, the six southeastern states all rebelled in full swing, chasing Tong Guan's 200,000 troops like rabbits, making them run around everywhere.

The southeast was shaken, and the court was shaken.

Suddenly, a storm was about to come.

Chapter 109: Furious Zhao Ji, Gen Palace Offers Advice

Nearing August, Bian Jing, Gen Palace.

In this palace, there are exotic flowers and plants, lake rocks everywhere. Even if a single blade of grass or a single tree were lost, it would be a treasure worth a thousand gold.

Unfortunately, this Gen Palace, which was once loved by the officials, was smashed to pieces.

Zhao Ji was a handsome man, with the appearance of a talented and romantic man.

However, the Song Dynasty official, who was always gentle and elegant in the past, was like a vicious dragon at this moment, roaring with disheveled hair. In front of him, several court officials trembled in fear, lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Damn bastard, what on earth does Murong Longcheng want to do? He is so bold."

"And what about Tong Guan? His army of 200,000 soldiers are all elite soldiers of the imperial court. They are not even as good as a bunch of peasants."

"Is it you, the court officials, who are incompetent, or is it my kingdom..."

Just one roar and a piece of treasure will be smashed.

The changing situation in the southeast formed a huge encirclement along the Yangtze River, trapping Xin Qiji, Yang Zhao, Tong Guan and others in a corner of Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

No matter how foolish Zhao Ji was, he knew that once the last part of Jiangnan was annexed, the power of the Murong clan would be united and they would rule the entire area south of the Yangtze River.

After it was established, it was protected by the natural barrier of the Yangtze River.

It would be extremely difficult for the imperial court to wipe out the Murong clan rebels.

What's even more terrifying is that after Murong's "Exhortation to Punish the Southeast" spread, the Liao and Jin dynasties in the north of the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia and Tubo in the northwest of the Song Dynasty soon showed signs of being ready to make a move.

Wait until all the anger is vented.

Zhao Ji calmed down after a long while, and said with a dark face: "My fellow officials, please tell me, how should my court deal with the current situation?"

For a moment, everything was quiet and cold.

Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, Li Yan, Li Gang, Zhuge Zhengwo and others present looked at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was about to lose his temper again, Liang Shicheng, who knew Zhao Ji's temper best, immediately spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. These are just a few rebels. They are only powerful for a short time and there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Your Majesty, why don't you use the imperial edict left by Taizu Taizong and order us, the Martial Saint of the Great Song Dynasty, to tour the southeast, and the crisis will naturally be resolved..."

The foundation of the Song Dynasty is still very strong.

Only when one reaches the level of Martial Saint can one defeat ten thousand troops and sit on the same throne with the emperor.

The favors left by the ancestors of the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty were diminishing every time they were used, and Zhao Ji himself was extremely reluctant to use them unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Your Majesty, I would first recommend His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. Princess Wuhu is the direct granddaughter of the Prince of Qin. Now she is stranded in the south of the Yangtze River and trapped by rebels. As long as your Majesty issues an imperial decree, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin will certainly do his utmost to eliminate the thieves."

"Your Majesty, I think we can use the Martial Saint Huang Shang in our Great Song Daozang Hall..."

"Your Majesty, the only way to resolve this crisis is to send the most powerful Martial Saint from the Ten Absolute Pass to the East..."

After someone took the lead, a large group of corrupt officials such as Cai Jing, Li Yan, etc. began to frantically recommend the Martial Saint, as if it was their own achievement.

Among the crowd, only a few people including Li Gang and Zhuge Zhengwo remained silent.

Use the power of the Song Dynasty to suppress the world.

Zhao Ji had not yet made up his mind. He glanced at the ministers in the hall, his eyes slightly brightened, and said, "Li Gang, tell me, what should we do about the current situation?"

Li Gang frowned slightly, bowed slightly and saluted.

Then, Li Gang said with an extremely stubborn head: "Your Majesty, the troubles in the south and southeast are caused by Zhu Jie. I have a plan that can solve the predicament in the south without using the strength of our Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ji seemed to have guessed something and his face turned very ugly.

Li Gang ignored him and continued, "Stop the flower and stone tax, abolish the Yingfeng Bureau, behead Zhu Jie and spread the news to the southeast. Six out of ten rebels can be defeated. If there is no threat in the southeast, there will be only a few rebels of the Murong clan in Jiangnan, and they can be defeated in a short time."

"Li Gang, you are so outrageous!"

Hearing Li Gang's words, Cai Jing jumped out first and angrily scolded: "Your Majesty works hard every day, governs the world, and pacifies the four seas. With such merits and virtues, what's wrong with picking a few stones from the southeast to slightly satisfy your appreciation of the heavens and all things? How dare you use this to secretly mock Your Majesty? You should be executed for your crime."

Cai Jing led the charge, and Li Yan and others soon followed.

In fact, these treacherous eunuchs had already noticed Zhao Ji's gloomy face a long time ago, and at this moment they were just flattering him and taking advantage of the situation.

This damn Li Gang, pretending to be a clean person.

In the court of the Song Dynasty today, everyone is a man of both civil and military talents, so it just shows off your ability.

Li Gang was a good official, but he was weak and powerless.

Seeing Li Gang being criticized by everyone, Zhao Ji's expression improved a little.

Then, Zhao Ji shook his sleeves and said sternly: "Li Qing also has good intentions. Okay, there is no need to say anything. The Southeast Yingfeng Bureau cannot be abolished. I want to use the Southeast Lake Stone to comprehend the changes of heaven and man. This matter will be discussed later."

"My dear ministers, who else can help me solve my worries in the southeast?"

Li Gang wanted to say something, but someone quickly pulled his sleeve and he stopped angrily.

The person who pulled Li Gang's sleeve was Zhuge Zhengwo, who stood as straight as a javelin.

Different from Li Gang, a minister who gave direct advice.

Zhuge Zhengye is also an upright person, but he is more flexible. He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may help alleviate the worries in the southeast."

When Zhao Ji saw that the person who spoke was Zhuge Zhengwo, his face showed a little displeasure.

Like Li Gang, Zhuge Zhengwo was also a die-hard person in the court. If the court really could not do without these capable officials, Zhao Ji would have driven these tactless people out of the court long ago.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Ji said with an unchanging expression: "Lord Zhuge, stop talking about useless things, understand?"

Zhao Ji’s meaning was very clear: I can’t stop having fun.

Zhuge Zhengwo took a deep breath and said with a stiff smile: "Your Majesty's heart, I understand it. The Southeast Yingfeng Bureau is your Majesty's way of life, so it cannot be abolished."

Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, my dear, please continue."

Zhuge Zhengwo lowered his eyelids slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the affairs of Yingfeng Bureau have become a source of resentment among the people in the south. The court may change its name and surname to calm the people's turmoil."

"As for the chief officer of the Yingfeng Bureau, we can no longer use Zhu Jie."

"A famous detective under my command, Wuqing, has sent a message from Jiangnan, reporting that he has contacted Fang Baihua, the sister of Fang La, the number one general under Yan Ni."

"Wuqing's letter said that with Zhu Jie's head, we might be able to defeat the rebel forces from within, and bring Fang La and others to justice, so as to defeat the Yan rebels from within and suppress Jiangnan from outside..."

Zhao Ji's expression changed, and he showed a hint of agitation.

At this time in Suzhou City, there was the Western Chu Heritage Garden.

At Yang Zhao's suggestion, Fang Baihua successfully mixed into the team of Wuqing, Zhu Xiawu and others.

Chapter 110 Fang La rebels and the chaos of the three parties joining forces

In the Jiangnan area, with Fang Baihua's heavenly realm cultivation, he can go anywhere as long as he is not hindered by the army or the people.

For example, the place where Wuqing, Zhu Xiawu and his gang are hiding in the Western Chu Ruiyuan.

A few days ago.

Following Yang Zhao's instructions, Fang Baihua fought a "death" battle with Yang Zhao at Sikou Ferry. After being injured, she led a team of female soldiers under her command, hid their tracks, and came to Suzhou City, intending to raid and destroy the entire Western Chu Ruiyuan.

Fortunately, Xin Qiji was in the Western Chu Heritage Garden that day, discussing matters with the Princesses of the Five Lakes.

After being discovered by Xin Qiji, Fang Baihua suffered another serious injury. Due to various unexpected coincidences, she escaped to the courtyard where Wuqing lived in the Western Chu Ruining Garden.

The 'seriously injured' Fang Baihua and Wuqing become acquainted with each other after a fight, and reveal some intention of surrendering to the court.

Wuqing took this very seriously and hid Fang Baihua despite the public outrage.

While Fang Baihua was recovering from her injuries, Wuqing, in order to get close to Fang Baihua, revealed that she was a woman disguised as a man and traveled around the world. She also showed concern for Fang Baihua in various ways and soon they became good friends.

After the two sides have established a good relationship.

Under all kinds of ruthless tactics, Fang Baihua told the whole story without any scheming.

It turned out that in the battle at Sikou Ferry on the Huai River, Yang Zhao brought a large number of experts to fight against Fang La's army.

Fang La was unable to go south and was confused about Murong's rebellion, so he sent an envoy to contact Yang Zhao and others to see if he could surrender to the court.

This was originally a great thing.

However, Yang Zhao was an ambitious man, and he used this as an excuse to force Fang Baihua to become his concubine. If she refused, he would use important events of the court to exterminate the entire Fang family.

It happened that at that time, Murong Longcheng issued the "Manifesto to Punish the Southeast".

In desperation, Fang Baihua's brother Fang La had to lead his troops to the southeast.

After being humiliated like this, Fang Baihua fought with Yang Zhao several more times. When he failed to win, he wanted to sneak into Suzhou City, attack and destroy the Western Chu Garden to vent his anger.

Wuqing and others are famous detectives and even divine detectives.

In fact, during this period of stay in Jiangnan, he had already discovered a group of people headed by Zhao Shirong, Yang Zhao and others who had great ambitions.

After Jing Fang Bai Hua said this, he quickly accepted this "fact".

That's why Wuqing passed the secret information to Zhuge Zhengwo, and why Zhuge Zhengwo offered suggestions in Gen Palace.

It didn't take long before an imperial decree was issued from the Song Dynasty Palace.

He used Zhu Zhen's head to summon Fang La to surrender. After counterattacking and wiping out Murong's bandits, he stationed his troops on the west side of Taihu Lake, competing with Zhao Shirong, Yang Zhao and others in Suzhou City and restraining each other.

And under the influence of Xiao Qinyan and Xin Qiji.

Many people in the court proposed to station the 200,000 troops under Tong Guan's command in the old nest of the Yan rebels to prevent the Yan rebels from making a comeback and to suppress the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

The imperial court had an army of 200,000, Zhao Shirong, Yang Zhao's group, and Fang La's group.

The three parties can keep the southeast safe.

Without using the imperial court's resources, it can also cause internal strife among the rebels, while also firmly stabilizing the south of the Yangtze River and the southeast.

With the various efforts of Zhuge Zhengwo, Xiao Qinyan, Xin Qiji and others, the strategy of pacifying the south was quickly perfected, which made the current emperor very happy.

In early August, Fang La rebelled, changed his flag, threw himself into the arms of the imperial court, and counterattacked the Yan rebels.

The ferry crossing at Zhenjiang Prefecture was opened, and the imperial army that had gathered on the north bank of the Yangtze River poured in, with Fang La leading the way. In less than half a month, the entire six southeastern states were conquered.

In addition, the three armies of Zhao Shirong, Yang Zhao and Xin Qiji merged and marched northward from the east.

Dayan, which was once famous throughout the Song Dynasty, was suddenly besieged in a corner of Zhenjiang Prefecture and could no longer move.

The situation in the south of the Song Dynasty changed so quickly that it was dizzying.
