Chapter 1035 Typed Status
Although Fang La's Yongle army was slower than Wang Yue to get the news, they still responded quickly.

Fang La first sent people to inform Yang Xiao quickly, wanting the Jiang Zuo League to block the Wu Dynasty navy, and then ordered Fang Xifo to prepare to block it, trying to block the Wu Dynasty army to the north of the river.

After Liu Xigua received the news, she asked Chen Fan to continue collecting food, and she hurriedly came to Fuzhou to meet Wang Yue.

What she didn't know was that before she came to Fuzhou, Wang Yue had already met two waves of guests.

The first wave was Lu Hongti. She followed Wang Yue's plan, after such a long period of development, the situation of Qingmu Village in Luliang Mountain was much better, and many people were attracted to their cottage, and their power expanded rapidly.

She had contact with Wang Yue's hidden guards. When she learned that the leader of the Jiangzuo League was Yang Xiao, he knew it was Wang Yue's force and had already participated in the uprising. What's your plan?

The second person who rushed over to see Wang Yue was indeed a member of the secret investigation department.

The name of the person who came here was very strange, and he was called Wenren Buer. He came to talk to Yang Xiao about Zhao An under the order of Mr. Qin.

Old Qin didn't know that Wang Yue was here, he just keenly felt that the Jiangzuo League was more difficult to destroy than Fang La's rebel army.

At the same time, he felt that if the Jiangzuo League could be persuaded to submit to the court, the court would get a tyrannical navy for nothing, as well as tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and most importantly, the huge amount of food from the Jiangzuo League.

The secret investigation department got the news that when the Jiangzuo League relocated those rich households, the food and grass raised could feed 20 troops for two or three years. Such a large amount of food could fully support the Northern Expedition.

Yang Xiao was actually very disapproving of Zhao An, but he thought of Wang Yue asking him to keep Wen Ren Bu Er, so he didn't immediately refuse, saying that he would go back and call his subordinates to discuss it.

Wenren Buer had known the news for a long time that the Jiangzuo League seemed to have to call a few people to discuss things, and it wasn't Yang Xiao who had the final say, so he didn't care much.

Yang Xiao asked some of his subordinates to have a meeting, but it was to discuss how to advance quickly. He immediately looked like he was meeting Lu Hongti, and told Wang Yue about the conditions of the Wu Dynasty.

After listening to Yang Xiao's narration, Wang Yue turned the teacup in his hand, and asked with some doubts, "Oh, what conditions does the emperor of the Wu Dynasty plan to give?"

He had seen his son-in-law, the emperor of the Wu Dynasty was very good at playing with the emperor's mind, but he didn't learn the way of governing the country at all, probably because the previous emperor died too quickly and forgot to teach him.

He guessed in his heart that maybe the emperor of the Wu Dynasty would give him some conditions that would make his heart flutter.

Seeing Wang Yue's calm look, Yang Xiao quickly said, "It is said that if we can help the Wu Dynasty regain the Sixteen States of Yanyun, they can give us a throne."

Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth. What kind of logic is this? He thinks the throne is safer by fighting.

It's just that it's not easy to refuse directly at this time. He thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "There is no rush, the emperor of the Wu Dynasty is weak. When we defeat the army of General Dong who came to suppress the bandits, he will naturally will give us what we want."

Yang Xiao nodded, and said helplessly, "If it's cooperating with Prime Minister Qin, it's not impossible, it's just that what he says doesn't count."

Wang Yue shrugged his shoulders. When he watched this drama, only Qin Yuyuan was a normal official in the court, and everything else was a bit inexplicable.

Especially that Grand Master He, he was already under one person in the Wu Dynasty, and over ten thousand people, and he was eager to help other emperors to work. It is simply inexplicable that he is a country that has just risen.

So he waved his hand, not wanting to discuss this topic, so he said very seriously, "In this situation, Wu Chao needs time, we need time, and even Fang La needs time, so you just need to procrastinate."

Yang Xiao knew the seriousness, and was very honest at this time, so he said very simply, "Yes, tomorrow I will let those brothers go with their ink marks."

Wang Yue nodded, and said seriously, "Maybe this is Wu Dynasty's delaying strategy. We have to guard against it. Let our navy blockade Hangzhou Bay and not allow Wu Dynasty's navy to go south. If they go by land, It is impossible to suppress Fang La's 30 million troops within a year or two, and we have time."

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Yang Xiao couldn't help being smart, and hurried down to give orders.

……

In fact, Wang Yue guessed it right. His chess friend Qin Lao wanted to hold them back, and then let General Dong command the army, pass through the northern navy, take more than 100 warships, and go straight to Lin'an, the capital of Yongle.

As long as Lin'an is taken down and the center blooms, the bandit troops in other places will definitely drop upon hearing the news.

It's just that Wang Yue has calculated this point, and this attention is doomed to fail.

As soon as the northern navy of the Wu Dynasty went south to Hangzhou Bay, they were ambushed by the Jiangzuo League navy who had ambushed long ago.

Because of the gap in weapons and being ambushed again, the navy of the Wu Dynasty was no match for the Jiangzuo League's navy at all. Except for General Dong who fled back to Yangzhou with thousands of soldiers under the escort of the navy commander, the rest of the entire army overwhelmed.

In this battle alone, the Jiangzuo League Navy captured a hundred warships and [-] to [-] soldiers and horses.

It's not that these soldiers and horses are all useless, it's that they are all soldiers from the north, their combat effectiveness was halved on the warship, and they were gutted by the overwhelming bow and crossbow, so they had no other choice but to surrender.

The so-called blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly. The war in the south is not going well, and the war in the north is even more mysterious.

The news from the north has also spread to all parts of the Wu Dynasty. It is heard that the [-] troops were beaten to the ground, and only the commander fled back.

In fact, Wang Yue helped Qin Yuyuan, and both sides lost the war at the same time, which frightened the emperor Zhou Zhe, who only knew how to play tricks.

At this time, the emperor didn't have time to play tricks, and now he felt the danger of destroying the country, so he favored Qin Yuyuan in the balance of the court.

Qin Yuyuan didn't expect Jiang Zuomeng to be so powerful, he saw through his delaying tactics at a glance, and broke their intention of a quick battle.

Therefore, at this time, Qin Yuyuan did not agree with the Northern Expedition. After all, the defeat in two consecutive wars will definitely make people with ulterior motives see the emptiness of the Wu Dynasty. It is better to stabilize the Wu Dynasty at this time.

As for missing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take back the Sixteen States of Yanyun, he could only accept his fate.

You know, it was his dream to take back the Yanyun Sixteen States, and it was also the expectation of the late emperor. He didn't realize that the opportunity was in front of him, but he just lost it.

So when he was in court, after Qin Yuyuan announced the plan to stop the Northern Expedition and wipe out the rebels with all his strength, he felt old in an instant, and really had the idea of ​​returning to his hometown.

The emperor saw Qin Yuyuan's decadence, but he didn't think too much about it. In his opinion, the Wu Dynasty had many soldiers and a loss of 30 to [-] yuan, which was nothing at all, far less important than stabilizing the court.

But how did he know that this time he lost two to three million yuan, but the elite of the Wu Dynasty, especially General Dong, was injured, and the Wu Dynasty had no more soldiers to use.

What's even more amusing is that when Qin Yuyuan wanted to retire and return to his hometown again, the emperor just put on a show to keep him, and he couldn't wait to agree.

……

In fact, just as Qin Yuyuan thought, many self-righteous people also saw the weakness of the Wu Dynasty. Before the imperial court sent a large army to the south of the Yangtze River to suppress the rebellion, instability appeared in all routes.

Banditry has also become more and more rampant, and the traffic in various states and counties has been almost cut off, and the Wu Dynasty was in danger for a while.

The most serious one was Liangshan. They suddenly came out of Liangshan and captured a county below the Daming Mansion. Their reputation was very loud for a while, attracting countless bandits to join them.

Compared with Jiangnan, Liangshan, the water park, was close in front of our eyes. Therefore, the court had no choice but to discuss how to pacify Liangshan before they could figure out who would lead the troops to the south.

Qin Yuyuan left, and the others were very disappointed with the emperor, they basically lowered their heads and said nothing, the emperor could only look at Grand Master He, who was pushing away.

Grand Master He is also someone who likes to play tricks, and he has a way out, so he said indifferently, "We can go to Liangshan Zhao'an, give them an official position, and let them take Liangshan's soldiers and horses south to attack Fang La."

After Grand Master He finished speaking, many people immediately agreed with him, thinking that Grand Master He was simply like Zhuge, and he was really unparalleled in schemes.

The emperor saw that Grand Master He was almost alone in the court, and immediately felt a little uncomfortable. He saw that Grand Master He suggested recruiting security, so he immediately turned to Grand Master He's opponent, Li Gang.

Li Gang didn't want to come out to answer, but he was a loyal and patriotic person, so he didn't want to embarrass the emperor.

He saw that the emperor wanted to fight. He felt that it was rare for the emperor to have such an idea, so he said quickly, "I think it's better to fight. After losing more than 20 elites, other troops don't know how strong they are, so they rashly sent In the south, if they are killed and defeated again, the situation will be even worse. It just so happens that Shuibo Liangshan is relatively small, so we can go through a battle and choose soldiers who can fight."

Grand Master He glanced at Li Gang in surprise, he was really afraid that Li Gang would agree with his idea, then the emperor would not tolerate him, and would drive him away like Qin Yuyuan.

The emperor was very satisfied with Li Gang's reaction, and immediately decided to send troops to attack Shuibo Liangshan. As for the south, he ordered the counties and counties to strictly guard and wait for the arrival of the imperial army.

……

Fang La soon got the battle report from Hangzhou Bay. He was very happy when he learned that the Jiang Zuo League had defeated the [-] army of the imperial court for them, and felt that this marriage was not in vain.

It's just that he has nothing else to give Jiangzuomeng except gold and silver treasures, but Jiangzuomeng has more of these things than him.

Thinking of the Jiangzuo League's desire for population, Fang La immediately made a decision to send all the refugees in the territory to the Jiangzuo League as a thank you for this help.

Of course, Wang Yue did not refuse anyone who came to the population. It just so happened that a hundred warships were newly seized. Safety, which also makes their carrying capacity stronger.

At the same time, Wang Yue took the opportunity to order the army to conquer the west and south, and took advantage of this gap to attack Guangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road.

When the army of the imperial court failed to destroy Liangshan for the first time, the army of the Jiangzuo League had already occupied most of Zhou County on these two roads, and even a part of Jingnan South Road.

During the entire march, except for some key areas that were difficult to attack and needed the assistance of hidden guards, most of the areas heard that the Jiangzuo League army was coming, and those evil gentry and officials fled after hearing the news, and the local people cheered like welcoming the king division.

So after successive battles, not only did Wang Yue's army not decrease, but its number more than doubled. For a while, the surrounding counties closed their city gates tightly, and they dared not open them at will.

And Fang La's Yongle army finally took down Jiangning, completely occupying Jiangnan East Road and two Zhejiang counties, and even part of Huainan East Road.

If it hadn't been for General Dong in Yangzhou, leading the remnants of the remnant army that had been defeated after the battle with Wang Yue in Hangzhou Bay, and had fought desperately on the spot, Yangzhou might have been lost.

Even so, Wu Chao's complexion changed. After all, the whole granary was lost, and the court became strange for a while. The emperor, who loves to play tricks, finally panicked.

Since he couldn't beat them, the emperor had no choice but to recruit them. He sent three envoys to Liangshan Lin'an and Fuzhou respectively to continue discussing the issue of recruiting security.

However, their recruiting plan was different. Liangshan directly offered a few official positions and used them as bargaining chips to start negotiations.

But Jiangzuo League and Yongle Dynasty are different here.

What I told the Jiangzuo League was that if the joining can put down the Yongle rebels, the leader of the Jiangzuo League will be named King Wu.

It's the same as what Fang La said, but with a condition added, that is, Fang La, the emperor of the Yongle Dynasty, needs to abdicate.

Yang Xiao sent someone to put the envoy in the inn, and immediately asked Wang Yue what he thought, but he thought the deal was OK.

In his view, the Yongle rebels are simply a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. As long as they are killed by the Jiangzuo League army, the Yongle Dynasty will surrender immediately.

If you exchange this for a throne, you can sit in the south of the Yangtze River, watch the Wu Dynasty and the Liao and Jin fight to the death, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman, and you may have a chance to dominate the world.

Therefore, he said excitedly, "My lord, we have won so many territories, and we just need to digest it. We can indeed agree to it. After all, the promise is the promise, and we have the final say when to attack."

Wang Yue shook his head helplessly, and said very seriously, "I think it's better not to be too optimistic, you all think so, what do you think Fang La's subordinates will think?"

Yang Xiao frowned unconsciously when he heard Wang Yue's words. He thought of Wang Yue saying that Fang La should be controlled by someone there. Even if Fang La didn't want to turn against Jiang Zuomeng, someone would push him .

So, Yang Xiao looked at Wang Yue and said very solemnly, "My lord, I'll arrange the defense right now."

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, she left. As soon as he left, Lu Hongti came out. She frowned and said, "Do you doubt that someone will attack us behind Fang Wa's back?"

Wang Yue nodded, and said very seriously, "Yes, as long as the flames of war start, it can't be explained clearly at all."

Lu Hongti thought for a while, and then asked the question she wanted to know the most, "My lord, are you sure about dealing with Jin Liao?"

The reason why Lu Hongti asked this was because after meeting Wang Yue that day, she wanted to ask them how to go to Qingmu Village, but Wang Yue asked Lu Hongti to look around on Fujian Road.

During this period of time, Wang Yue was busy fighting, but Lu Hongti was really wandering around, and found that the people in the entire Fujian Road seemed to be more energetic than the people in other places.

And the various policies arranged by Wang Yue ensured that everyone in the common people had land to cultivate, not to mention those common people, even Lu Hongti wanted to bring people from Qingmu Village to live in southern Fujian.

So after she came back, she went to Wang Yue to discuss countermeasures, and asked if she could send someone to help transfer the people from Qingmu Village.

But when she came back, she was astonished to find that Wang Yue had taken over Sanlu Prefecture and County again without making a sound, and the territory had more than doubled.

She suddenly felt that Wang Yue's territory might expand to Luliang Mountain one day, so why would she move?
