The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 417 Warning Fang La
Most of the people present were shrewd and capable people. By this time, of course, they all figured out why Mu Xu plotted against Hedong.The reason is very simple, because there are only two fronts to take back the Sixteen Youyun Prefecture from south to north.

One is to attack Youzhou from the Hebei Road, but this road is definitely more difficult, not only the Song Dynasty has a heavy army in Hebei to defend the Liao Kingdom.As for the Liao Kingdom, they did not give up much. In their Nanjing, that is, Youzhou, they also stationed strong soldiers to deter the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, if you choose this way to attack Youzhou, you will undoubtedly be taking food from the mouths of the two families, and the degree of difficulty can be imagined.

But if you go from the northeast of Hebei and collect Yunzhou, it will not be the case. Let alone the Song and Liao families are on this road, there are relatively few soldiers stationed on this road.And the most important point is that Hedong Luyi is difficult to defend and can be used as a stable rear area, unlike Hebei Road, which is defenseless.

Seeing everyone nodding their heads, Mu Xu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and finally resolved a major matter on his mind.In this way, there is no fear that Hu Yanzhuo and the Zhao'an dispatchers will not work hard.

"Very good. Now that the brothers understand the future strategic direction, I hope that everyone can work together to achieve this goal as soon as possible."

"I will obey my brother's orders!" Everyone stood up when they heard Mu Xu's words, and responded in unison.

Mu Xu nodded in satisfaction, then ordered someone to bring up the map, and said, "There are two important things to do right now, one is to occupy the entire Longde Mansion before the court reacts."

As he said that, Mu Xu pointed to the northern generation of Luzhou with his finger, and said seriously,

"Pass down my general order, Hu Yanzhuo as the chief general, Suo Chao, and Han Tao as the deputy generals. I will give you four thousand troops. Within half a month, I will take the three places of Xiangyuan, Juting Town, and Taipingyi, and then defend on the spot and wait for the next attack. One step order."

Hu Yanzhuo and the others didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly cupped their fists to accept the order. Mu Xu then pointed to the Wading area and ordered,
"Guan Sheng is in charge, and Peng Qi and Xuan Zan are the deputy. I will give you [-] troops. Also within half a month, take down She County and Li City, and then station there to guard against the enemy in the north."

Waiting for the three of Guan Sheng to come out, they received the general order to retreat.Mu Xu swept his gaze across the crowd again, finally placed it on Zhang Qing, and ordered him,
"Zhang Qing listened to the order and sent you [-] troops, with Sun Li, Sun Xin, and Li Zhong as deputy generals, to attack Tunliu in the west, and by the way, monitor Tian Hu going north to Jinzhou's headquarters. Once he has the intention of looking east, he will send I will fight head-on, and I will not be soft in the slightest."

The four of Zhang Qing trembled, knowing that their mission was the heaviest, so they hurriedly assured Mu Xu that they would fulfill their mission.

Next, Mu Xu transferred Hao Siwen to the eldest son, Ding Desun to Pingshun, and replaced Shan Shiqi and Hua Rong back.

After this dispatch of troops, in Mu Xu's view, as long as the plan goes well, the entire Longde Mansion will be under his control within a month, and then he talked about another major event,
"Based on the virtues of the local soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, I believe that good news will come from everyone in a short time. Next, we should discuss how to get along with Tian Hu.

What I mean is that it is possible to form an alliance with it temporarily, but there is a prerequisite for this matter, that is, the sphere of influence must be divided in the future, so as to avoid disputes between the two parties over the same territory. "

Zhu Wu knew that Mu Xu was a very righteous person, so he simply asked, "I don't know if my brother has a charter?"

After Mu Xu heard the words, he pointed to several places on the map and said, "Tianhu has already occupied Jiangzhou and Zezhou, and is still attacking Jinzhou. The west of Jinzhou is Cizhou, and the north is Xizhou, Fenzhou, Weisheng Junzhou, these four states, I only need one Weisheng, and I can give him the others.

As for the rest of the Taiyuan Mansion and other places, there is no need to discuss with him. At that time, each will depend on his ability, and whoever takes it down first will own it.Of course, this is just my bottom line, and the specific decision can only be made after negotiating with him. "

As soon as Mu Xu finished speaking, Zhu Wu stood up and said, "Xiao Keyuan will go to Tianhu's camp in person and convey the words of the village master to him."

Mu Xu did not refuse Zhu Wu's offer to invite Ying, nor did he worry about his safety during the trip.No matter how bad Tian Hu is, he can be regarded as a hero, and he will never do things such as detaining or persecuting envoys.

However, for the sake of safety, Mu Xu finally ordered Shi Jin and Zhou Tong to take a group of people with them to protect Zhu Wu's safety on the way.

On the same day, after explaining the major events, Mu Xu ordered someone to set up a rice dumpling banquet for the people who were about to go to war.

In the next ten days, Mu Xu has been sitting in Longde, handling government affairs in various places, and paying attention to the situation on several battlefields.

Fortunately, everything was in Mu Xu's expectation. The local officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty really didn't have the slightest combat power to speak of.Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, and Zhang Qing, the three armies, went smoothly and were invincible. They all captured the remaining counties of Longde Mansion according to the agreed time.

On the contrary, judging from the news sent back from Zhu Wu, the negotiation with Tian Hu is not optimistic.It was because Tian Hu was always talking about him during the negotiation, and he was unwilling to make any promises.

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Xu understood what Tian Hu was planning.That guy just wanted to occupy some more state capitals before the imperial soldiers came again, and then make an established fact, and then reach an alliance with Mu Xu to jointly deal with the imperial army's quelling chaos.

Figured out what Tian Hu's purpose was, of course Mu Xu refused to let him easily fulfill his wish, and immediately sent an order to Zhang Qing, who was stationed in the garrison, ordering him to lead his troops westward along the Jiang River, and the soldiers headed straight for Jinzhou. Anze made a gesture that he wanted to compete with Tian Hu for Jinzhou.

After being beaten up by Mu Xu like this, Tian Hu was really anxious, and he didn't dare to play any tricks. He expressed his willingness to form an alliance with Mu Xu, but he also made an additional request, saying that he would be with Mu Xu in Jinzhou, Zezhou, The meeting at Hengling Fort at the junction of the three places in Longde Mansion is scheduled for the first day of May.

Mu Xu thought over and over again, thinking that he had already met the other three of the Four Great Bandits of the Water Margin, and it would be better to meet the last one, so he agreed to Tian Hu's request.

But at the mention of these four bandits, Mu Xu was filled with anger.It turned out that before he officially came to Hedong, he wrote to Wang Qing and Fang La at the same time, asking them to start the incident two months in advance.

But recently Xu Guanzhong sent someone to send a reply letter from those two people. In the letter, Wang Qing agreed to Mu Xu's request and stated that he would raise troops in Huaixi in the near future.

Unlike Wang Qing, Fang Lana replied, saying that he was not ready yet, not only did he not want to raise troops in advance, but even wanted to revise the covenant to postpone their Manichean uprising for another half a year.

By the way, after reading Fang La's reply, Mu Xu behaved extremely badly for the first time. In front of all the leaders of Liangshan, he yelled at Fang La.

It's really that guy who is not a son of a man, and wants to play Mu Xu like a fool.What is not prepared properly, it is clear that you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

You must know that when the two sides formed an alliance for the first time, although the exact date of the uprising was not set in advance.But in the following year, after various consultations, Wang Qing was included in the covenant again. The three families have agreed to launch an incident at the same time in June this year, so that the Great Song Dynasty will be exhausted and buy enough time for the development and growth of the three families.

Seeing that the agreed date is just around the corner, but Fang La has the intention of reneging on the alliance, how can Mu Xu let it go!

On the same day he received the confidential letter, he replied to Fang La with a very stern letter.In the letter, he first expressed his condemnation for not keeping the agreement, and then warned that if Fang La violated the agreement, the covenant would be abandoned.When the Manichaeism is besieged by the Song Dynasty in the future, it is impossible to expect any support from him, Mu Xu and Wang Qing.

At the same time, Mu Xu also sent a letter to Wang Qing, expressing his gratitude to him, and then asking him to put some pressure on Fang La, so as not to make that fellow pretend to be smart.
