Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 679 Fang La: Can this also be used to rebel against him? [3 more]

"Rumble...Rumble..."

Fang Jie led three thousand imperial guards to Qingxi where Fang Mao was.

Go there during the day and hide outside the city first.

Wait until dark and open the city gate, then capture Fang Mao and bring him back to Bangyuan Cave.

When passing a fork in the road, the deputy general suddenly urged his horse to catch up with Fang Jie:

"General, I am a local!

"I know a shortcut!"

"really?"

Fang Jie was also impatient. When he heard about the shortcut, he said without hesitation:

"Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

The deputy general took the lead and turned away from the fork in the road.

……

Outside Qingxi County, Fang Mao, accompanied by the Flying General Wu Fu, rode on horseback to the front of the Suzhou army.

General Liu Yun of the Flying Dragon Army, General Zhang Wei of the Flying Tiger Army, and General Xu Fang of the Flying Bear Army had already assembled more than 30,000 Suzhou troops and stood in a neat line outside the city, waiting for Fang Mao to come and make pre-war mobilization.

"…The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!"

Fang Mao talked a lot, and finally waved his whip:
"Life or death, this is a battle!
"Set off--"

The few defenders in Qingxi County didn't dare to say a word and watched Fang Mao lead the army to Bangyuan Cave.

The noise they made naturally alarmed Fan Quan and Qiu Xiang who were living in the Qingxi County Protocol Courtyard.

"what happened?"

Fan Quan randomly picked a passerby to ask, and that passerby happened to know:

“The one just now was the Third King, the Holy Lord’s younger brother!

"He was originally stationed in Suzhou, but when the imperial court seized Suzhou, he fled to Qingxi..."

Fan Quan asked again: "Where are they going?"

"Help Yuandong!"

Passersby heard that Fan spoke with an accent from another place, and instinctively showed off:

"The direction they are heading is Bangyuan Cave!"

Fan Quan's face changed: "The three kings led the army to Bangyuan Cave, could it be..."

Passersby didn't dare to respond.

Fan Quan and Qiu Xiang looked at each other subconsciously.

Qiu Xiang whispered to Fan Quan: "The Southern Kingdom has mutinied!"

"Our chance has come!"

Fan Quan was very excited: "Whether Fang La or Fang Mao laughs last, we can all benefit from it!
"Let's go! Let's go back home as fast as we can!"

Qiu Xiang was stunned: "Our mission..."

"What's the point of using your life!"

Fan Quan rolled his eyes at him in annoyance:
"Let's go back quickly to inform the king to send troops!

"When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!
"Our army will take advantage of the opportunity and invade. Once we conquer the Southern Kingdom, both you and I will have accomplished a great feat!"

Qiu Xiang: “Wow!”

"Come on!"

Fan Quan hurried back to the Protocol Courtyard, without even saying hello, and rode out of the city with Qiu Xiang on horseback.

……

Royal study room.

"Don't worry, father-in-law."

Liu Gao confidently promised Fang La:

"Between Suzhou and Hangzhou is Xiuzhou. I have mobilized some troops to help my father-in-law defend Xiuzhou.

"I guarantee that Shandong's most powerful minister will never be able to take another step south again."

Left Prime Minister Lou Minzhong: "I wonder how many troops the Prince Consort can mobilize to Xiuzhou?"

Liu Gao asked back, "How many troops do you think are appropriate, Prime Minister?"

Lou Minzhong subconsciously glanced at Fang La.

Fang La squinted his eyes, and Lou Minzhong said tentatively:
"Xiuzhou originally had a garrison of 10,000 men.

"If the prince consort can mobilize another 20,000 or 30,000 troops, that will probably be enough."

"Easy to say."

Liu Gao agreed immediately: "Then we can send 30,000 troops."

Lou Minzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Thirty thousand troops is not too many, not too few, it is enough, and there is no need to worry about inviting wolves into the house. It's like the Chu State that always dispatched 100,000 troops. Are you fighting the court or me?

Lou Minzhong added: "If our army fights back and wants to take back Suzhou, please send troops to support us."

"It should."

Liu Gao nodded with a smile:

"If the Southern Kingdom's army reaches Runzhou, I can send troops from Shandong to support them.

"Attack from both sides."

Fang La, Lou Minzhong and others felt much more at ease when they heard this. Isn't this better than being robbed by the King of Chu?

Fang La was very moved: "My dear son-in-law, you really help me in my time of need!"

Liu Gao chuckled and held Fang Jinzhi's hand, thinking that his trip was a success.

Fang Jinzhi and Liu Gao smiled at each other, feeling sweet in their hearts. Only Pang Qiuxia was suffering.

It’s me, it was me first, it was obviously me who came here first!
Pang Qiuxia pursed her lips:
Whether it's arrows, holding hands, or falling in love with that guy...

Of course, she couldn't say it on the spot.

After all, polygamy is allowed in this era.

At worst, I can be sisters with Fang Jinzhi.

Fang Jinzhi is a princess, so it's not unacceptable for her to be a sister...

As for whether Liu Gao had a wife, Fang La did not ask, and naturally no one would be bored enough to ask Liu Gao.

Fang La felt much better because Fang Tianding survived the disaster, Fang Jinzhi got a good son-in-law, and allies were found.

So he asked the imperial kitchen to prepare two banquet tables to entertain all the people present in the imperial study.

"Great!"

Fang Tianding clinked glasses with Liu Gao affectionately:
"Brother, you will be my brother-in-law from now on!
“We’ve truly become a family!”

"Yes, a family!"

Liu Gao and Fang Tianding clinked their glasses.

His eyes and ears were always on the lookout, allowing him to sense the resentment not far away.

While toasting, Liu Gao took a covert look:
It turned out that Pang Wanchun was staring at him with gritted teeth.

Liu Gao suddenly realized that there was more than just Fang Tianding, his brother-in-law, present...

So after toasting with Fang Tianding, Liu Gao filled his glass and took the initiative to clink glasses with Pang Wanchun:
"Brother, let's go!"

Pang Wanchun drank a glass with Liu Gao with an expressionless face.

He wanted to ask Liu Gao how he planned to treat Pang Qiuxia.

However, the relationship between Liu Gao and Pang Qiuxia was unclear, and Pang Wanchun had no way to ask.

Fortunately, Liu Gao's toast made Pang Wanchun feel better. At least Liu Gao still had him in his heart.

Because there was no news from Fang Jie yet, everyone didn't drink too much.

Fang La clinked glasses with Lou Minzhong and asked him:
"According to the time, Jie'er should be in Qingxi by now, right?"

Lou Minzhong nodded: "It should be here!"

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly came crawling in:
"Your Majesty! This is bad, this is bad!"

"Clang!"

Fang La accidentally broke the wine glass.

He was really afraid of "bad news", all the news recently was bad:
"What happened again?"

The eunuch said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the three kings have rebelled!"

"what?"

Fang La was surprised and shook his head:

"I have already sent Fang Jie to capture him. Can this also be used to rebel against him?"

"The three kings really rebelled!"

Eunuch: "Your Majesty, the three kings have led tens of thousands of Suzhou troops and are already 20 miles outside Bangyuan Cave!
"We will reach Bangyuan Cave before dark!"

"hiss--"

Fang La and his friends couldn't help but gasp:
"What should I do?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

Deng Yuanjue immediately stepped forward:

"With this humble monk here, I will surely wipe out the rebels!"

Du Wei, the Grand Commandant of the Cavalry and the General of the Cavalry, also stood up:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to fight the enemy together with the Imperial Master!"

Pang Wanchun also stood up:
"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Fang La breathed a sigh of relief and raised a full glass of wine:

"I salute all the generals and wish you a great victory!"
