Zizhou, the autumn wind swept up the leaves and walked in a hurry. The residual sewage in the market was smelling. The small shops closed their doors. The knights anxiously crossed the street. On the way, the shops with discounts and clearance reflected the pale faces of the merchants. , let the city burn in the chaos.
The merchant ships were evacuated overnight, and the people who were packing their belongings and preparing to leave here also started to leave one after another. Zizhou, which originally belonged to one of the largest cities in the southwest, became more and more chaotic.
The scholars who went forward have already started to withdraw, and some of them stayed in Chengdu, vowing to live and die together with them. In Zizhou, the indignation of the scholars continued.
"How dare Shuzi do this..."
"He's really not afraid of the world's long speeches"
"The court must send another army..."
"Wolf ambition, wolf ambition"
In August of Wu Jianshuo's ninth year, the progress of world affairs changed suddenly, like a white-hot chess game, and the parties who could compete in this chess game had their own fierce moves. The dark surge that once surfaced and turned into a raging wave also abruptly awakened the good dreams of some of the characters who used to make waves on the water.
In this corner of the south of the sky, the Wuxiang army who entered the Liangshan area after careful preparation was beaten head-on, and the enthusiastic scholars who came to the southwest to promote the war against bandits were immersed in the thrill of promoting the historical process and had not enjoyed enough, and the battle situation turned sharply. Together with a note, it knocked on the back of everyone's head, breaking the illusion created by the Black Flag Army's preferential treatment of scholars over the years. In early August, the Black Flag Army defeated the Wuxiang Army, and Lu Qiaoshan disappeared. The black flag came out mightily, and after berating the Wu Dynasty, he bluntly said that he would take over most of the four Sichuan roads.
Huaxia Jun's attitude towards the text, in addition to being impassioned in the direction of scolding the Wu Dynasty, understates the decision to take over the Sichuan Fourth Road, which is almost a matter of course. However, under the premise that the entire Wuxiang army was defeated and incorporated, this attitude is really not a joke.
The wolf's ambition, the poor vision... No matter how people define the large-scale actions that the Huaxia Army ensued, or even criticize them, the series of actions that the Huaxia Army followed have shown full seriousness. That is to say, no matter how the scholars talk about the general situation, how they talk about reputation and reputation, or the things that all high-ranking people should be afraid of, the king-killer who is known as the demon of the heart will definitely hit Zizhou.
Even, the other party still behaved as if he was being persecuted by everyone here.
During the time when the scholars were insulting, the Huaxia Army had meticulously cleaned up the garrisoned troops in six counties and towns near Liangshan, and was still orderly taking over the original garrison of the Wuxiang Army. The working Huaxia Army has already figured out the details of the surrounding area. Of course, there is resistance, but it is impossible to form a climate. This is the beginning of the sweeping of the western Sichuan Plain, and it seems... It has also foreshadowed the follow-up results.
For a true wise man, victory or defeat often exists before the battle begins, and the sound of the horn of the charge is, in many cases, just the act of reaping the fruits of victory.
In Bansongju, Xingutang and other places where Confucian scholars gathered, the gathered scholars anxiously denounced and discussed countermeasures. Long Qifei mediated and balanced the situation. He unconsciously remembered what Li Pin once said in the capital. , the evaluation of Ning Yi. He never expected that the 100,000 Wuxiang Army would be so vulnerable in front of the black flag, and he was too optimistic about Ning Yi's ambition and domineering means at first.
But it's too late to say anything.
The black flag sent troops, compared with the fluke mentality that the people still have, the more Confucian scholars like Long Qifei know the insider, the more frightened they are. The defeat of the 100,000-strong Wuxiang Army was the first appearance of the Black Flag Army in several years, proclaiming and confirming that the combat power it displayed in Xiaocanghe a few years ago had never fallen. It was only one of the previous fantasies of the people that the Black Flag Army possessed such combat power, saying that if they wanted to reach Zizhou, they would not stop at Chengdu.
Forced by the chaotic situation, Long Qifei frankly and analyzed the situation in the DPRK in front of a group of Confucian scholars: In today's world, the Jurchen is the strongest, the Black Flag is inferior to the Jurchen, and the Wu Dynasty is more peaceful. , there is still a chance to win, the Qin Shu secretaries of the Central Qin Association originally wanted to launch a large-scale army, and poured all the power of the imperial court to first put down the black flag, and then used the ingenious skills of the black flag to feed back the Wu Dynasty, in order to play the front line of the Jurchen time. Vitality, who knew that the game between the DPRK and China was difficult, fools were in power, and in the end, only Wu Xiangjun and himself were sent over. Now, the demon Ning Yi is pushing the boat along the river and wants to swallow Sichuan, and the situation has become critical.
"My Wu Dynasty has been slanted to the south of the Yellow River, and the Central Plains have been lost. Now, the Jurchen has invaded south again, and it is aggressive. The money and food from the four Sichuan roads are important to our Wu Dynasty and must not be lost. It is a pity that there are many high-ranking officials in the Dynasty, and the corpses are vegetarian. Ignorance and shortsightedness, even now, I still don't dare to give it a shot!" On this day, in the middle of the pine house provided by the wealthy businessman Jia in Zizhou, Long Qifei sighed in a low voice when he told everyone about the whole story.
"When I came to the west, I visited Lord Qin in Beijing. Lord Qin entrusted me with an important task and said that I must promote this westward expedition. Unfortunately... Wuxiang's army was incompetent, and 100,000 people were defeated. As expected, and unwilling to shirk, when the black flag comes, Long is willing to face the black flag in Zizhou, and live and die together with the soldiers in this city! But the situation in the southwest is critical, and no one can wake up everyone in Beijing, and Long will re-enter without face. The capital, but a blood letter has been written, asking Liu Zhengming and Liu Xian to come to the capital and hand over to Lord Qin…”
As soon as his words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Long Qifei waved his hand vigorously: "Everyone, don't persuade! Long has made up his mind! In fact, it is not a blessing to know that Sai Weng lost his horse. Ning Yi's ambitions still have fantasies. Now Ning Yi is trying to see it, and all the sages in Beijing can no longer tolerate him. As long as he can overcome his pain and send heavy troops into Sichuan, this matter can still be done! You are useful, and Long would like to invite him. All of you have entered the capital to persuade the sages in the capital and the princes in the court. If this can be done, Long Mou will thank you under the spring..."
He was generous and tragic, and he was dead and bloody, and everyone was talking about it. After Long Qifei finished speaking, he ignored everyone's persuasion and left, and everyone admired his determination and heroism. Liu Zhengming, who took the blood letter, was unwilling to do this on his behalf, and joined the crowd to persuade him that a snake can't do without a head. He has an old relationship with Lord Qin, and he will naturally lead to the matter of lobbying in Beijing, and it will be the easiest to accomplish. During this period, some people also scolded Long Qifei for making a name for himself. The whole thing was planned by him behind his back. At this time, he wanted to escape naturally. Long Qifei refused to be more resolute, and the two groups of Confucian scholars fought back and forth every day. On the fifth day, Long Qifei's confidante and red card Lu Guoer in "Yannan Tower" gave him the order. Menghan medicine, everyone dragged him into the carriage, and Lu Guoer, who was profoundly righteous, intelligent and brave, accompanied Long Qifei to Beijing. The love story of the two people soon became a good talk in the capital.
Long Qifei and others left Zizhou. Another person, Li Xiannong, who had stirred up the situation in the southwest, was now in an embarrassing situation. Since the failure of the layout in Xiaoliang Mountain, Ning Yi pushed the boat to resolve the situation in the rear. Li Xiannong, who came back when he exchanged prisoners with Lu Qiaoshan, has always looked decadent. When the Huaxia Army's letter came out and thanked him, he reacted. subsequent malice. In the first few days, there were people who came to the door frequently. Now, most of the scholars in Zizhou can still see the black flag's means of killing hearts. But after a few days, some people were really bewitched.
Long Qifei appeared twice to defend Li Xiannong, and the public opinion was suppressed for a while. After Long Qifei left, Li Xiannong realized that there were more and more hostile eyes around him. He was so heartbroken that he left Zizhou that day, preparing to go to Chengdu to die. Not long after he left the city, he was intercepted by someone. Some of these people were scholars and some were quick to arrest him. Some people said that he was going to report the news to the black flag. Li Xiannong had no problem with his eloquence and argued with reason. The arresters said that although you are right, but after all, the suspicion is uncertain, how can you leave at will at this time. The crowd gathered around, beat him, and sent him back to the Zizhou prison, waiting for the truth to come out and a fair deal.
Li Xiannong's subsequent experience is difficult to describe. On the other hand, the generosity of Long Qifei and others after entering Beijing is another heartwarming story that is full of talents and beauties. The overall situation is beginning to become clear. Personal running and bumps are just small ripples hit by the huge waves. In the southwest, the Huaxia Army as a chess player cuts across the four routes of Sichuan, while in the east, more than 8,000 black flag elites are still striding towards Xuzhou. . After learning about the ambitions of the Black Flag, the DPRK and the Central Committee raised a wave of siege and suppression of the southwest. However, Jun Wu resisted such a proposal and pushed many troops such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong to the Yangtze River defense line. A large number of civilians have been mobilized, and the logistics line is vast. Swinging, posing a win-or-die attitude.
The troubled world is like an oven, melting gold and etched iron to boil everyone into a pot.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, Li Xizhi was facing the first blow after the dark tide turned into a huge wave.
After Lin He'ao missed, the crazy strategic intentions of the Black Flag Army were revealed in front of the great warlord who had ruled the east of the Central Plains for several years. Under the city of Daming, Li Xizhi suspended the preparations for the siege, ordered his army to set up a battle, prepare to respond, and at the same time asked the Jurchen general Wuda to lead the army to respond to the raid of the black flag.
However, it was rejected by Uda.
The 300,000-strong army of Zongfu and Zongwang will go south, and the main force will arrive in a few days. Once this army arrives, what will happen to the Daming Palace and the Black Flag Army? What really matters is the docks and ships that the Jurchen army crossed the Yellow River. As for Li Xizhi, if he leads an army of 170,000 people and is still afraid on his own territory, what meaning does he have to Jurchen
Li Xizhi actually didn't believe that the other party would fight like this, until the outbreak of the war was like he built a solid embankment, and then stood in front of the embankment, watching the sudden rise of the huge wave getting higher and higher getting taller...
On the morning of August 11th, the war broke out in the fields north of Daming House. With the arrival of the Black Flag Army, the war drums were played in Daming House. The "Guangwu Army" headed by Wang Shanyue, Hu Sanniang, Xue Changgong and others. Nearly 40,000 people chose to take the initiative.
With 10,000 on one side and 40,000 on the other, they attacked Li Xizhi's army of 170,000. If one considers the combat strength, even if he underestimated the quality of his own soldiers, it would have been a close match. Li Xizhi faced this arrogant battle calmly.
And then the trickiest of situations finally broke out when the battle started to heat up.
