Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 387 I don't want to be the second Tianhu (please subscribe!)
...

Knowing that the Song army broke through Wuxiang County, Li Yan immediately ordered: Han Shizhong and Wu Jie were promoted to the commanders, Han Shizhong led his troops (the fifth battalion and [-] Jin troops temporarily led by Han Shizhong) to guard Jinning Fucheng, and Wu Jie led the headquarters People and horses (five battalions and [-] Jin troops temporarily led by Wu Jie) went to Fenyang Mansion to garrison and meet the Jin army and civilians.

Twenty days later, Li Yan heard that Weisheng City was broken and Tian Hu was killed by Tong Guan.

Regarding this, Li Yan stood facing Weisheng for a full hour, and then said to Tian Ding who was sent by Fang Xuedu's cronies: "I will keep you rich and honored for the rest of your life."

After that, the soldiers and civilians of Jin State flocked to Jinning Mansion like a tide.

Good luck!

Tian Bao died in battle, Fang Xuedu took over the command of the Jin army, and personally led 20 troops behind the Mianshan Palace, so that the Jin army did not suffer a major defeat.

Fang Xuedu held on to Mianshan for more than [-] days, but the food and grass could not be sustained, so he asked the Jin army to withdraw to Fenyang Mansion in batches, and then merged with Wu Jie to form a road and stick to Fenyang Mansion.

On the other side, Xu Guanzhong, Le He led a group of people from the Political Department and Staff Department of the First Army, as well as the civil and military officials of the Jin State to organize the people of the Jin State to flee day and night from the trail opened by the Tabai Army to the side of the canal. Then board the fleet of the Liang Shanshui Army, enter the Yellow River from the canal, travel by water to Shandong, and then go to Yangkou Port in batches, and then sent to Taiwan County by the Sun Never Set Fleet.

This process is easy to say, but difficult to implement.

First of all, the trail opened up by the stepping white army was too difficult to walk.

Walking this trail during the daytime is full of dangers, let alone walking in the dark?

Later, it was roughly estimated that at least thousands of people died on this road.

Some people may say, then all walk during the day.

What a joke, the time they retreated was all spent on human lives. If you delay for a day, you may die by less than a thousand.

And this is a big transfer of hundreds of thousands of people, and it took more than ten days or 10 days.

Secondly, the waterway is not easy to walk.

In the past two years, the Yellow River has burst its embankments several times, and the waterways have all changed.

Although the Liang Shanshui army has found a feasible waterway, some sections of it must be sailed on dry land to pass, unlike before, Yifan arrived.

More importantly, this section of the waterway also passed through Henan, and even passed by the Kaifeng mansion. Liang Shanshui's army had to beware of the Song army's sudden attack and robbed them.

Again, if the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River can still travel by water, then the waterway will be completely destroyed when it reaches the lower reaches of the Yellow River, so this section of the road can only be relocated from land by abandoning boats.

All in all, it takes a lot of effort to transfer these 10 people.

However, although it was difficult, Li Yan still insisted on transferring these 10 people.

Not to mention other things, just look at Tian Hu's 40 to [-] horses, Li Yan can't help but spend this effort.

Three to four million horses, even if it is one out of ten, Li Yan can get 40 to [-] elite soldiers.

The rest are also excellent laborers.

The process will not be described further.

After nearly two months, all the soldiers and civilians of the Jin State who were willing to transfer withdrew from the Jinning Mansion.

Li Yan originally wanted to withdraw in the last batch, but all the generals under him, including the civil and military officials of Jin, all disagreed.

Li Yan could only leave Xu Guanzhong, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Fang Xuedu, and Niu Wenzhong as his rear.

Xu Guanzhong and others stood firm until everyone else had withdrawn, and led the Jin army to fight a defensive counterattack in Jinning Mansion, and then calmly retreated into the mountains.

Of course, Xu Guanzhong and others were able to withdraw so easily because the Song army didn't want to pursue them anymore-their strategic goal had been achieved, and there was no need to add casualties in vain.

……

There are twenty large ships on each side of a flat-bottomed ship in the Jinghu section of the Yangtze River.

On the big boat, there were only Wang Qing and Fang La, and there was no third person.

Wang Qing said leisurely: "The battle in the north is completely over, and it will be our turn soon."

Fang La said: "Unfortunately, the time my second brother bought us is too short, and I haven't even settled the civil strife here."

Wang Qing said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? I will buy you a few more months. Big brother, you can quell the civil strife. Then you will have a showdown with Song Guo, and then you will win the world. The only thing is, wait for you, big brother." When ascending the throne facing south and facing north, don't forget to burn a piece of yellow paper for me and my second brother, and tell us, after all, my second brother and I have made outstanding contributions to your country."

Fang La's face was stern, and he said: "What are you talking about, third brother? You and I are an alliance, an alliance made of iron. When you and I conquer the Song Dynasty, we will use the Yangtze River as the boundary, and the north will belong to you. The south will belong to me, we will be emperors together, and we will rule the world together, until then..."

Wang Qing looked at Fang La with a half-smile, making Fang La really speechless.

When Fang La closed his mouth, Wang Qing said: "At the foot of Liangshan Bo, Eldest Brother also said something similar. Now that you and I have not gone to rescue Second Elder Brother, Second Elder Brother has already died in Tong Dashuai's hands. Now Eldest Brother, you are saying this again. , do you think I will believe it?"

Even with a thick skin like Fang La, after hearing Wang Qing's words, he was not only a little embarrassed!

Fang La made adjustments, and said, "It's not because of you that I didn't go to save my second brother, it's because the mountains and roads are so high that it's hard to save him."

Wang Qingdao: "The fourth brother has gone... I heard that the second brother said before he died that he was waiting for you and me in the eighteenth floor of hell... It seems that he does not blame the fourth brother, but you and me."

Fang La's expression froze, and then she put away the expression she had pretended before, and said, "What do you mean by that? You're not blaming me for not saving Tian Hu. Don't forget, this decision was made by you and me together."

Wang Qing said: "Don't worry, Wang Qing still has some responsibility for me, and I won't pass all the responsibilities to you, but..." At this point, Wang Qing looked into Fang La's eyes and said, "I don't want to be The second Tianhu."

Fang La said: "Don't worry, as long as the Song army hits you, I will support you as soon as possible."

Wang Qing said bluntly: "I can't trust you."

Fang La's face darkened, and said: "Then I have nothing to do."

Wang Qing grinned and said, "I have a solution."

Fang La asked: "What way?"

Wang Qingdao: "If the Song army comes to attack me, and I can't see your Fang La's army, I will turn around and go to Song. You may not know that when I was in Tokyo, I had a good friend. She was the daughter of Tong Jian, the brother of General Tong. On the other hand, Marshal Tong is my uncle, so I can connect with Marshal Tong, and then I will help Song Jun fight you, and when the time comes, I will be the vanguard myself."

Fang La's face sank like water, and he said, "You and I don't even have this kind of trust?"

Wang Qing didn't even think about it, he said: "No." Then he poked his head towards Fang La, and said: "It's uncomfortable to be a slave to that stupid king Zhao Ji, but it's better than being with Tian Hu. I don't want to spend ten The eighth hell, at least not now, so brother, please don't force me."
