Bastard’s Resurgence

Song Wensong suddenly appeared in Bingzhou. This was undoubtedly a blow to the Northwest Army. The defeat of Cheng Ting made the Northwest Army panic. Song Wenjie couldn't help being furious. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He never thought that Song Wensong was besieged in the capital, and there was still more to save Bingzhou.

This time, Song Wenjie led one hundred thousand Malays to attack Bingzhou. He originally had an absolute advantage. Bingzhou would surely be taken in time, but now Song Wensong's sudden appearance has changed the situation slightly.

At the end of this battle, Song Wenjie lost 20,000 horses, but Song Wensong added 10,000 elite soldiers. In this way, the strength of the two sides was quickly drawn closer.

Morale is even more terrifying. The sudden appearance of Song Wensong made Song Wenjie's previous statements about Song Wensong's death in the capital all a lie, and his generals lost their trust in him.

It has to be said that Song Wensong's name is too big on the land boundary of Longyou, and the three generals are the gods of war in Longyou. Compared with the brothers Song Wenjie and Song Wenhua, they obviously have a much weaker sense of existence.

In this situation, counselor Sun Zi gave Song Wenjie advice, saying: "General, the situation is now exhausted from this battle. Rather than continue to consume, it is better to retreat temporarily. As the saying goes, victory or defeat is a matter of military affairs, this time defeat is not. The general, but Cao Weiming's treachery, released the three generals from the capital. After this battle, the follow-up will sooner or later, and Bingzhou will be in your bag for the general!"

Sun Di’s words were obviously nonsense, and the Battle of Bingzhou was not won. He made Cao Weiming, who was thousands of miles away, take the blame, but he could not figure it out, but it sounds like Song Wenjie’s ears. Many, Song Wenjie had already retired: "Mr. Sun, this time we did not beat the third child under internal and external troubles. I am afraid it will be difficult to win in the future! Bingzhou strangled the throats of the north and the south, making me feel uncomfortable. Linking up with Guannei, this situation is really bad, we can't help but break!"

Sun Bing said: "Why do the generals need to worry? For the three generals at the moment, the harder the pressure outside, he can explode with terrible power, and once we retreat, he will fall into a passive state!

The general, you think, the road from Beijing to Bingzhou is not close. The three generals have insufficient strength on hand, and it is difficult to take care of the north and the south, and he is not willing to lose the two sides. Therefore, he is bound to fall into a situation where he is going to lose ground!

Looking at the three generals now and Jiangnan are on good terms, that's because he was attacked by the enemy, willing to send his horses to Jiangnan. Once this situation changes, it will inevitably be at odds with Jiangnan. At that time, Fengyan will definitely rise again. We only need to wait for the opportunity to send troops, and the overall situation will still be in our hands! "

Sun Zi’s exaggeration was just an excuse for failure. Song Wenjie was originally a sloppy bag. He led a hundred thousand troops to conquer the conquered state. He was just beginning to be excited. After fighting for so many days and encountering setbacks, he had long since retired. The full of ambitions have already been thrown out of the clouds at this time...

Retreat! Song Wenjie ordered to retreat, 100,000 horses lost tens of thousands, and retreated to Longyou dingyly. At this point, Song Wensong's crisis was completely lifted, and the war in Jiangbei was finally over.

Jiangnan, Jinling, and Lu Zheng came from Jiangning and took Zhang Pinghua and the boy to meet Lu Shanchang. Lu Shanchang was fully responsible for the affairs of the court, and Lu Zheng was able to hide behind the scenes and control the situation.

Recently, Lu Zheng and Song Wensong have completed a series of amazing deals, and he is very satisfied with it. He looked through a lot of history, carefully studied and pondered the situation that Jiangnan had always been difficult to train, and found that the lack of horses in Jiangnan was the first reason.

In ancient wars, the role of horses was so crucial. Although there were many classic infantry and cavalry tactics in history, the cavalry was still invincible. Therefore, the biggest challenge for Lu Zheng to establish the Nanfu Army was the construction of the cavalry.

And now, he can get 30,000 war horses. Lu Zheng can't buy these 30,000 horses for three million taels of silver, nor can he buy them! With such a foundation and horses, the growth of the Nanfu Army is just around the corner!

"Master, son, the situation today is really not peaceful, Jiangnan seems to be peaceful, but there are endless disputes in the court, the situation of fighting for power is endless, and it is difficult to form a joint force.

In addition, the elites of the Nanfu Army have now gone to Lianghe. If Jiangnan changes, General Liu of Yuzhou may not be able to rescue them in time. In this case, the war in Jiangnan may be the foundation of a crisis! "Zhang Pinghua spoke first, expressing his worries.

Lu Zheng frowned and nodded: "What Mr. Zhang said is extremely true. Jiangnan does have a crisis of internal and external difficulties. Originally, the 30,000 troops of the Nanfu Army were already at the limit, but who would have thought that Song Wensong would be so unhelpful. Cao Weiming is also crazy. If we are not taken care of, once the north is completely controlled by Cao Weiming, then..."

Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "The key is still horses. In the long run, the Nanfu Army won't work without horses, so this time I was in danger!

At the moment we still have more than 50,000 men and horses. This is really weak to defend the entire Jiangnan area. Therefore, we can only use Jinling as the center and shrink our fists first to ensure the stability of Jinling and Yangzhou. "

Zhang Pinghua nodded and said, "The only plan now is this!"

Lu Shanchang said: "Zheng'er, do you have other thoughts about this arrangement? You know that the recent quarrels in the court about the Nanfu Army have been fierce, so it is mainly the Duan family and the Zuo family that are at work. They To get close to Emperor Xin De, we need to form some kind of suppression on the few of us, so the situation is quite complicated..."

Lu Zheng nodded and said: "I have heard about these things. This is why I think about it. The peace of Jiangnan has been too long! Many people just think that our Jiangnan power sect has taken a big advantage. It seems that the whole Dakang is We are having fun, and they are all in dire straits!

When Liu Song went to Yuzhou, there would be no good days in Jiangnan. Grandfather, look at it. Soon, Long Lingxiu will not be able to help it. The thieves in Lingnan will also go north. Sun Chongwen on Huainan Road has long been reluctant. Jiangnan has been eyeing it long ago. Under this situation, can they stand it well?

The good days of Jiangnan are coming to an end. We let everyone see who is guarding Dakang and who is working for Dakang’s Jiangshan Sheji! "

When Lu Zheng said this, a murderous intent appeared on his face in an instant. The recent incident in Jiangnan really made him angry. He was trying his best to form the Nanfu Army, but Emperor Xin De was secretly connected with the Duan Family and Zuo Family. He wanted to cultivate his own power in the Nanfu Army, and King Qi, who had been kept in claustrophobia in the palace, was now ready to move. Send people to the army to hook up with his old men, and promise him a lot of profit in an attempt to win him over.

After all, the Nanfu Army is a newly formed army, with unstable morale and weak combat effectiveness. In this case, once someone breaks through it mentally, the consequences are very scary!

Therefore, Lu Zheng first transferred the elite away from Jiangnan and freed his hands to build an army in Jinling drastically. He knew very well that he could not hold fast to such a large territory in Jiangnan.

Therefore, on the one hand, he used Jinling, Yangzhou and other places to be close to each other, the waterways are intertwined, and the city defenses are solid.

The more important point is that he uses his troops flexibly and never stays on the spot. Once he encounters a deadly battle like Song Wensong, Lu Zheng can mobilize Liu Song to return to aid, and then attack inside and outside, so that he will not be completely desperate like Liu Song, or even abandon the war horse. I decided to break the boat in this way.

Where there is a pre-existence, and no pre-existence, Lu Zheng is laying out a big chess game based on Jiangnan. Zhang Pinghua is very worried about this. He pondered for a long time, and said:

"My son, when there is a great chaos today, the national fortune of Dakang has already decayed. At this moment, the son should raise his arms and summon the heroes of the world to fight for Jiangshan Sheji. At the Bauhinia Palace, when it is critical, it will be broken. Don't be because of a moment. He hesitated, but lost a good opportunity. If that were the case, then it would not be worth the gain!"

He paused, then said: "A hero is born in troubled times, and the son is the hero of the world. At this time, if the son does not come forward and let it go, how can the people of the world be safe and healthy?"

Lu Zheng's expression changed, and he said violently, "Mr. Zhang, this is enough to say today, and I will never mention it again in the future! With the Jiangnan crisis, how can my Lu family do such great rebellious things? It is even more impossible for my own benefit. , And like Cao Weiming and other shameless people, what does that kind of behavior simply have to do with seeking death?"

Lu Zheng was really angry because he always thought that Zhang Pinghua was a counselor with extraordinary knowledge. But listening to his words, Lu Zheng was really disappointed. Zhang Pinghua meant that Lu Zheng should imprison the Emperor Xin De in the palace, and then Lu Zheng himself would become king and fight for hegemony based on the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Pinghua’s proposal is simply absurd. In history, as Cao Mengde said, if it weren’t for him, Cao Mengde would not know how many people would call kings and emperors, and how many people would be spitting.

Lu Zheng was also a man for two generations. How could he do such a stupid thing? Take a look at Cao Weiming. Originally, he went to Lianghe to make use of the resources of Lianghe for awkward development. Maybe he would have a chance to really rise in time. But after this idiot arrived in Lianghe, he couldn't wait to claim the king. When he became king, he rebelled against the revolution and became Dakang's rebellion. This undoubtedly made himself a target for the world in an instant.

Why did Song Wensong beat him like this? With this, Song Wensong can get close to Dakang and get the status of a Dakang minister! If not, how could Cao Weiming lose Yuzhou?

The boy said: "The son, Mr. Zhang is also the heart of boxing, you don't need to care too much! For Jiangnan right now, the situation is really not easy, and the arrangement of the son is also very appropriate. I firmly believe that the difficulties will pass sooner or later..."

Lu Zheng nodded, thinking in his heart that the boy and others are limited to the times after all. They don’t know what the world will look like thousands of years from now. This is why so many people can’t wait to become emperors and kings. .

Lu Zheng, Zhang Pinghua and others were discussing matters in Jinling. The next day they received news from Huainan Dao that Sun Chongwen, the governor of Huainan Dao, established himself as the King of Huainan. Warlock, neglect of government, obsessed with power and tricks, and abandon all kinds of behaviors that are ignored by the people.

He named Emperor Xinde "Demon King", saying that Emperor Xinde was not a human being at all, but a lich into a spirit. After he usurped the throne, his purpose was to harm the people.

This message was sent out, and Sun Chongwen himself led an army of 100,000 to approach the Huaihe River. He wanted to attack Jiangnan and threatened to sweep Jinling within a month!

After Sun Chongwen’s message was issued, Lingnan Wang Bai Jingzhong responded immediately. Lingnan Wang Bai Jingzhong also launched troops in Lingnan, claiming that 200,000 horses crossed Guanshan and wanted to attack Jiangnan north. He and Sun Chongwen agreed that once the two men captured Jiangnan , Divide the land of Jiangnan equally.

Shandong’s Liaodong Army also assembled to the south, approaching the bank of the big river, ready to cross the river at any time. As long as they cross the river and travel all the way south, they can directly point their front to Jinling. Jiangnan was in chaos...

The Jiangnan crisis first caused a huge panic in Jinling. Above the court, the six ministers of the cabinet were in panic all day long. At this moment, everyone finally felt the fear and horror of the building will be poured!

Jiangnan currently has no more than tens of thousands of horses, but the enemy claims that 300,000 troops attack from both the north and the south. How can such a force be able to stop it?

The emperor Xin De of the Bauhinia Palace could not be at ease, because the eunuchs and maids in the palace were panicked, and the little priest who accompanied him in the monasticism escaped a little and a half in a day. The catastrophe was imminent, and many people chose to escape!

Emperor Xin De looked at his old face in the bronze mirror, looked around, and found that there were not many trustworthy people around him, he couldn't help sighing, and said:

"Senior Brother Xu, in the current situation, is it true that heaven is about to perish me?"

Xu Tiandao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. Since your Majesty's accession to the throne, I don't know how many winds and waves have been experienced. So many winds and waves have come over. Are you afraid that you will not be able to survive this time?

Emperor Xinde shook his head and said, "This time is different. Even if I have encountered setbacks and failed, I still have other choices. But this time, if Jiangnan falls, where can I go? The world is so big, I will go again. There is no my home either..."

A look of sadness appeared in the eyes of Emperor Xinde, and for a long time he said, "Well, it's time to go out to see the courtiers. If Jiangnan can keep this time, I won't take care of the affairs of the court! , But the Lu family has such amazing geniuses as Lu Zheng. If they are allowed to play well and dedicated to the country and the people, they will surely be of great use! It's just a pity..."

Xu Tiandao said: "It's not too late. Lu Zheng has been training the Nanfu Army. Although the number of the Nanfu Army is small, they are all well-trained. I believe that Lu Zheng himself must have a way to break the enemy! "

Xu Tiandao didn't miss the opportunity to push Lu Zheng out, and Emperor Xin De realized at this time that the only thing he could hope for now was Lu Zheng. Apart from Lu Zheng, who else can share the worries with him?

Duan Tanglin and the Zuo family, whom he has attached great importance to, have been so scared that they dare not enter the palace one by one, expecting them to serve the country and the people and share the worries for the emperor?
