The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 116 The Great War Begins

When Zhao Gou saw that Patriarch Chen Tuan left without saying goodbye, he had no choice but to do so.This time, through the guidance of his own internal force, Patriarch Chen Tuan made the true energy in Zhao Gou's body break through the two veins of Ren and Du, and achieve a state of great internal force.Zhao Gou moved his hands and feet, as if he was a different person, his face was radiant, he silently channeled the true energy in his body, and muttered: "The realm that the master said needs to be carefully understood!..."

He raised his head and looked at the figures walking around outside the room. He didn't know that he had been unconscious for a few days. He thought to himself: "I'm afraid they are a little anxious, and I don't know how the battle is going? I just hope they can catch up!"

Zhao Gou pushed open the door, and the faces of Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, Yue Fei and others came into view.Everyone was pleasantly surprised. They were looking forward to Zhao Gou waking up soon, and they were worried all the time.Seeing Zhao Gou appear suddenly, everyone was ecstatic, and stepped forward one after another, shouting eagerly: "Marshal!"

"It's really a sin to make everyone worry about you when the boy is unconscious!" Zhao Gou was a little moved when he saw that everyone was ecstatic, and they were asking about their health. He never thought that these people would be so worried about his injury, so he couldn't help feeling a little , and a little excited.

Song Jiang asked: "Marshal, you are awake. You must know that you have been in a coma for seven days and seven nights. If you don't wake up again, I don't know what to do!"

Zhao Gou smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's really a sin for the boy to worry the brothers. Unexpectedly, seven days have passed since I slept this way, which is really long!"

Then, Zhao Gou asked about the battle with Fang La's army.Song Jiang and Lu Junyi informed all about the battle, and also said that Fang Lajun seemed to know that the commander of the Song Army was unconscious these days, and kept sending troops to attack, all of which were resisted by the Song Army, changing from the offensive to the defensive Fang, Fang La's army launched attacks one after another.

After Zhao Gou listened, he nodded and said, "Since I'm awake, we should also fight Fang La. If it continues, it will be bad for our army and the people. We can't delay it for a long time, only a quick battle. Fang La is the best strategy. Send our military order, the army rests and reorganizes, and will attack Hangzhou City tomorrow, and it is bound to be captured, and Fang La's head will be taken."

"Decree!" Everyone clapped their hands and echoed.

Zhao Gou left Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others behind, and then discussed how to attack Hangzhou City, and asked straight to the point: "How can you generals attack Hangzhou City?"

Wu Yong said in a deep voice: "Now, our army has gathered in one place, gathered in Xiuzhou City. If we attack with the strength of the whole army, Fang La's army must be prepared, and we must not fight with all our strength. This battle will definitely cause heavy casualties. .Hangzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If our army mainly attacks, it will not be able to take it for a while. In my opinion, we should divide our troops and surround it."

Zhao Gou asked: "How to divide the army and how to besiege?"

Wu Yong replied: "When the marshal was in a coma, Song Xianfeng and Lu Xianfeng and I had already discussed the countermeasures. Fang La's army learned that the commander of our army was in Xiuzhou, so they reduced their forces to attack Xiuzhou City. Their goal is the marshal. If If the Marshal withdraws or leads the army to Hangzhou City again, it will definitely attract the attention of Fang La's army, this is the key."

"The commander-in-chief can lead some soldiers to use Xiuzhou as a base and attack southward. After fighting Fang La along the way, they will know that the marshal is here. Then, they will gather all their troops in Hangzhou City again to deal with the marshal. Fang La must have personally learned the marshal's skills, and even regarded the marshal as a thorn in his side, and knew that if Song Jun had you, his wish would come true, and he could only fulfill his wish by killing you."

"If Fang La orders the army to gather quickly, then the defensive forces of other cities will be weakened. If we catch them by surprise, we can break into Hangzhou City from the rear and isolate Hangzhou City. Even if it is a long battle, we can continue to drag them to death. Our army will be invincible."

Zhao Gou asked again: "This plan is feasible, so should we send someone to lead another army to attack from the rear?"

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Reporting to Marshal, I suggest that Lu Xianfeng lead a team to attack."

Zhao Gou thought about it and thought it was right, so he nodded and said: "Just act as a military adviser. Song Xianfeng and I set off from Xiuzhou together to attract the attention of the enemy army, restrain Fang La's army, and then let Lu Xianfeng go from here. After the surprise attack, create an opportunity for him. So what is the route of the march?"

"Our army started from Xiuzhou and went all the way south to attack Deqing. At that time, it was not far from Hangzhou City. At this time, Fang La will definitely send another army to help and fight our army. Therefore, Deqing is the first place between our army and Fang La's army. A place of confrontation. Huzhou City has already fallen into the hands of our army, and it will be even more difficult for Fang La's army to take it back. Their eyes are all focused on the marshal, and they will not pay attention to it."

Wu Yong smiled vigorously: "The next step is Lu Xianfeng's ability. On the one hand, he needs to disturb the enemy's army's morale, confuse the public, and make Fang La's army think that the two armies are converging again to attack Hangzhou City; on the other hand, Lu Xianfeng needs to lead The army captured Dusong Pass and cut off the enemy's support."

Zhao Gou asked: "If Fang La knows our army's intentions, what should I do if I am ready to retreat?"

"I've already made preparations!" Wu Yong said confidently, "If Fang La abandons Hangzhou City and orders a retreat, he will definitely go to She County, which is his base and base camp. In addition, Fang La can also retreat to Qingxi. No matter where Fang La retreats, there is no way to retreat. As long as the city of Hangzhou is occupied, after the city is broken, you can immediately send a large army to pursue it, and you don't have to hold back."

"The Army of the Right Route can follow closely behind and keep chasing after them; the Army of the Side Route can cut off their retreat and attack from the south of Yuling Pass. Even if they retreat to Qingxi Town, they will be occupied by our army. Then, the Fang La Army will It's a battle of trapped beasts, if you want to make a comeback again, there is no possibility, and you will definitely be captured alive by our army."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhao Gou did not hide his words of praise. He also knew that Wu Yongdao's strategy was deliberated and discussed by everyone, so Zhao Gou did not have any rebuttals. Even he himself felt that this method was the best. Every aspect wanted to go in, leaving no chance for Fang La to escape.

"The military division is worthy of being a military division, this plan is very clever!"

Wu Yong replied calmly: "Your Excellency Marshal is absurd. This strategy was discussed with the vanguard generals and others. I dare not take credit for it."

Zhao Gou nodded with a smile, and then ordered everyone to go down and start preparing. He didn't expect that although the strategy of the plan was good, there were still changes, especially when the two armies were fighting, it was not that simple at all.This battle took a relatively long time, from a quick battle to a long battle, which was beyond his expectation.

The battle between the Song army and Fang La turned Hangzhou into a purgatory on earth, with countless casualties, blood flowing like rivers, and the brothers who were born and died also fell down one after another, watching these people die helplessly.Even though Zhao Gou was prepared in his heart, he still couldn't accept it.In addition, some changes have also taken place in the court. These are unexpected things for Zhao Gou, which makes him a little bit confused by Monk Zhang Er.

　Brothers, I'm sorry, some things at home have been delayed, I'm really sorry
