Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

"The court is immoral, the officials force the people to rebel, the Zhao family is immoral, and they are condemned to heaven!"

"Notify the leaders of all parties immediately, raise the flag and raise troops, and attack the prefectures and counties!"

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, "the people are poor and cruel, and there are many officials", and they beat them three times a day.

Now that he was determined to rebel, Fang La did not hesitate.

He immediately asked people to forge official announcements and posted them everywhere, falsely claiming that the court would increase Jiangnan's taxes again, and that Cao Bin, the Marquis of Zhongjing, was the special tax envoy and had arrived in Jiangnan.

In addition, people made up nursery rhymes to create momentum for the rebel army.

In fact, there has long been a nursery rhyme in the south of the Yangtze River that "add a little to ten thousand, and you will be honored at the end of winter".

Shiqian is the word "ten thousand", adding a little is "fang", and Dongjin represents "la".

This nursery rhyme means that Fang La meets Nan Chengzun...

After making a lot of preparations, Fang La immediately began to divide troops and dispatch generals.

He ordered his nephew Fang Jie to lead more than ten generals and [-] followers to attack Shezhou in the west, and then went north to meet Cao Bin's West Route Army.

Order the general to attack Wuzhou and Quzhou in the south.

He himself took the main force to occupy Qingxi County to the east, took Muzhou, and then attacked Hangzhou to the northeast to meet Cao Bin's East Route Army.

The reason why he divided his troops to attack was actually to coerce the people.

Although Manichaeism now has 20 followers, its main force is only 6 or [-] strong.

He must strengthen his strength as much as possible before the imperial court's follow-up reinforcements arrive.

As long as all the people's food and supplies are robbed, even if they don't want to rebel, they can't survive, so they can only follow the pirate ship...

Therefore, as long as you occupy more cities, your strength will grow rapidly.

The county magistrate of Qingxi had long been "converted" by Manichaeism. Seeing Fang La's uprising, he directly opened the city gate and surrendered.

Afterwards, the army did not stop, and arrived at the city of Muzhou that afternoon.

Seeing the rebellion of the people, the magistrate of Muzhou was about to close the city gate, but the defenders joined forces inside and outside, beheaded his head and offered it to the city.

After conquering Muzhou, Fang La won more than [-] people to "follow", and the surrounding counties of Tonglu and Pujiang surrendered in anticipation.

Fang La was overjoyed, and everyone in the Manichaeism did not expect it to be so smooth. They only thought that "I" was the destiny, so they all persuaded him to join.

Fang La had this intention long ago, and quickly made a "three speeches and three concessions" drama, ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.

It took another half a day to establish the title system, entrust civil and military officials, and then immediately sent troops to the north to attack Hangzhou...

For a moment, the southeast trembled.

There are also many responders in the green forest, planning to rob the government and seize the city. The officials in Zhejiang and Zhejiang are in danger and ask Cao Bin for help.

When the governor of Quzhou learned that Si Xingfang had brought troops to attack, he was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled.

When Cao Bin received the news, he was almost annoyed.

It's not about Quzhou.

It is normal for local officials to have such a reaction, and it did not exceed his expectations.

What surprised him was Fang La's ambition. It was crazy to dare to claim the title of emperor just after occupying several counties.

But this is also in line with the emperor's wishes. Didn't he want to divert the courtiers' attention?

The weight of "proclaiming the emperor" is enough.

So Cao Bin immediately sent [-] Li to rush to report the matter to the court...

As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country.

Proclaiming the emperor is no small matter, no matter how powerful or powerful, as long as one is proclaiming the emperor, it is a major event that shakes the court.

However, in Cao Bin's view, although Fang La is capable and ambitious, and claims to be the hero of the southeast, there is no possibility of a successful rebellion.

In addition to harming the people and weakening the court, it is far from reaching the point of changing the dynasty.

In this way, the next mess will be left to Cao Bin.

Although he thinks he is not a good person, he will not disregard the life and death of the people and enjoy himself at ease.

Always find a way to restore people's livelihood... Even if he is an official here, he can't be at ease. If the people's livelihood is difficult, there must be constant rebellion.

Even if he has three heads and six arms, and his fighting power is astonishing, it is impossible to fight against the vast ocean of the people.

Unless he ran away and fled back to the court...

Let's talk about Manichaeism Fang Jie.

After receiving the order of General Fangla, he went straight to Shezhou City west of Qingxi.

He is Fang La's nephew, and he is praised as the number one general in the southeast.

Therefore, he was confident enough to break through the city in one battle, and he did not take Cao Bin's reinforcements seriously.

However, because the congregation did not undergo strict military training, the march was very slow. It took three or four days to arrive at Shezhou for a distance of one hundred miles.

Seeing that the gate of Shezhou City was closed, he had expected it a long time ago. He kicked the horse under his crotch, stepped forward and shouted:

"Listen to the officers and soldiers in the city, Fang Shenggong's divine soldiers are here to save all sentient beings, and immediately open the city and surrender."

Just after shouting, a group of officers and soldiers rushed out of the city, and the leader and general shouted angrily:

"Stop the traitor, dare to challenge me one-on-one?"

Fang Jie's martial arts skills are superb, so it's true that he immediately rode forward to fight with the general.

It's just that if the battle is not three-in-one, the general will stagger and retreat directly into the city.

Fang Jie was not surprised to see this, he was already familiar with the virtues of local officers and soldiers.

So he drew a halberd and shouted:

"Rush in and occupy Shezhou."

Saying that, he took the lead and rushed into the city.

With a loud noise, the thousand-jin gate fell to the ground, and thousands of young and strong Manichaeists were trapped in the Urn City.

Fang Jie turned pale with shock, seeing a bearded general standing on the top of the wall, he couldn't help shouting angrily:

"You are definitely not the guard of Shezhou. Who are you? Do you dare to challenge me one-on-one?"

Guan Sheng pressed the sword at his waist with his left hand, stroked his long beard with his right hand, glanced down, and said with a sneer:

"Crazy ministers and thieves!"

"Master Cao has already laid a net for you."

As he said that, he ignored Fang Jie's invitation to fight, and waved directly:

"Fire arrows!"

Poor one of the brave generals in the southeast was defeated and captured before he had time to show his demeanor.

He never imagined that what he met was the main force of the imperial court.

Fang Jie was captured, and most of the young and strong were wiped out. The congregants outside the city were either old or weak, or women, so they couldn't stop Guan Sheng's charge.

"Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will die!"

After the war in Shezhou ended, Guan Sheng immediately reported to Cao Bin and led his troops to Fang La's hometown in Qingxi County.

Knowing that Fang La had many brave generals, Cao Bin did not order him to forcibly attack the city and fight head-on, but to bluff and surround Wei to save Zhao.

After cleaning up Runzhou, Cao Bin himself began to sweep up the green forest forces that responded to Fang La.

He was like a hunter who had set his net up, waiting for Fang La to bump into walls and lose all vigor, and that was the time to draw the net.

When Fang Jie lost his halberd in Shezhou, Fang La also surrounded Hangzhou with countless congregants.

Hangzhou is the seat of Liangzhe Road, and the population of Fucheng alone is 30 million.

If the Manichaeism can capture Hangzhou, their strength will increase dramatically, so this battle is the key.

Lu Junyi was also a little startled when he saw the overwhelming Manichaeists outside the city.

He didn't dare to lure the enemy into the city like Shezhou did, but closed the city gate tightly and put on a stance of defending.

Now the Hangzhou defenders plus the urgently recruited strong men are no more than [-] people, so they can only wait for Gao Shun's reinforcements.

Fang La continued to attack for four or five days, but failed to capture Hangzhou City. He couldn't help feeling impatient and said angrily:

"Sure enough, the imperial court has already prepared for it. If it is only the Hangzhou defenders, it will not be so difficult to obtain!"

In the past few days, not only the people in the city were captured and killed by Lu Junyi, but even fire boats, wall digging, poisoning and other methods were cracked one by one.

They tried all kinds of methods, but they couldn't capture Hangzhou.

When everyone in the Manichaeism was worrying, believers came to report:

"My lord, Cao Bin's reinforcements have arrived in Yuhang."

Hearing this, Fang Xiang immediately got up and said:

"Only more than two thousand people, Brother Huang, I will destroy them..."

"it is good!"

Fang La clapped the handsome case and said:

"I will give you [-] young men and [-] guards. You must wipe out Cao Bin's reinforcements."

"I think he has no reinforcements outside Hangzhou, how can he hold on!"

The Divine Guard is different from the young and strong of the temporary organization.

They are the elite infantry that Fang La spent a lot of money to build. There are only 2000 people in total, but they are all the most devout believers. They are not afraid of death, which is also his trump card.

Fang Xiang waved his hand and said:

"Brother Huang, you don't have to do this! I only bring [-] young and strong, and I will kill the heads of the enemy generals to present Brother Huang."

Fang Jinzhi couldn't help grinning, wanting to remind this Uncle Two Hundred Five.

She has seen Cao Bin's soldiers and horses with her own eyes.

In her opinion, the Divine Guard is nothing more than an ordinary soldier in front of this kind of army, let alone a young man who has just put down his hoe?

After all, she still couldn't bear to kiss her uncle to die on the battlefield.

But before she could say anything, the demon king Zheng Biao had already stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, please send your entire army to the battle to avenge my master!"

His master is the celestial master Bao Daoyi, who is now captured by Cao Bin, and his life and death are unknown.

Fang La waved his hand and said:

"Okay, the third brother will bring [-] young adults and [-] guards, don't be careless."

After speaking, he added:

"You bring Zheng Biao, Pang Wanchun, Lei Jiong and more than ten generals to help."

In his opinion, this is enough attention. After all, there are only 2000 people, not tens of thousands of forbidden troops in Gyeonggi.

But Zheng Biao regretted his appearance. He really wanted to avenge his master, but he didn't want to die...

Fang Maang didn't give him a chance to regret it, seeing that Fang La had agreed, he ordered troops to set off immediately.

After sending Fang Maang to resist the reinforcements, Fang La felt relieved, and said to Li Tianrun, the "Marshal of Soldiers and Horses":

"Continue to attack Hangzhou, we cannot give them a chance to breathe..."

Seeing this, Fang Jinzhi couldn't help admiring in his heart, the "Holy Master" really had a fortune, and his father was indeed not the one who "responsible for robbery".

After Fang Xiang gathered his troops and horses, he walked northward for less than forty miles, and encountered Gao Shun's encircled army.

Seeing 2000 troops forming an formation among the narrow hills, Fang Xiang watched carefully, and couldn't help saying to the general beside him:

"The elite of the imperial court are really extraordinary, and the terrain here is not suitable for large-scale operations."

"If our army rushes to kill, it will be difficult to deploy our troops."
