Chapter 244: The Spring Breeze Blows Green Flowers and Thousands of Trees;(1/2)

There is only a few mountains in Jingkou Guazhou, Zhongshan is separated by only a few mountains.

The spring breeze is green again on the south bank of the river. When will the bright moon shine on me?

Standing on the canal with red flowers on the willow bank, the breeze blows across his cheeks. Tong Guan, who should have been in a good mood, couldn't raise any happiness and peace of mind. Instead, he couldn't help but think of what Wang Anshi wrote decades ago

This song "Mooring a Boat in Guazhou".

Just a few days ago, Liu Yanqing finally captured the entire Mingzhou area, which was a good thing. But what Tong Guan didn't expect was that there should be a boat shop and countless craftsmen in Mingzhou, but no one was found.

Several ships.

What made him even more angry was that these boatmen were all kidnapped by a man named Ye Chun and then kidnapped to Shandong.

Where is Shandong? It is the old nest of Chai Jin, a big rebel. He was already moving in Mingzhou when Fang La transferred most of his troops to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

At this time, Tong Guan suddenly felt that no matter whether it was Fang La in front of him or the Khitans in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, they were not as terrible as the remnants of the Great Zhou who were hiding in the waters of Jeju.

He looked at the willow trees that were slowly blooming on both sides of the canal, and sighed to the seed master: "If I expected it would be fine, then the shipyards in Jinghu prefectures were also burned by Chai Jin's group of people."

The generals of the Western Army next to him had this idea in their minds, but now after Tong Guan's explanation, they all felt a stern.

Zhong Shizhong bowed slightly and nodded, "Although I have heard of Chai Jin's name in the northwest, it is mostly circulated in the mouths of the people in the world. But I don't want him to see so far. I thought about it a few years ago.

I started to build a navy, and even wanted to destroy shipyards everywhere so that the imperial court would have no warships available."

Tong Guan knew that he had something to say, so he said, "You are right. He should have thought about rebelling before killing Gao Yanei."

Suddenly he laughed awkwardly, and then said, "I heard that he killed Gao Qiang back then. I thought he was just a pretentious young man who did this on impulse. Now it seems that he was just killing people on purpose to make himself famous."

Xin Xingzong, behind him, subconsciously sighed: "If the court could kill this thief at that time, how could it be the biggest concern now?"

Tong Guan and Master Zhong looked at each other, and both shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Can it be killed?

If someone had said at that time that he would rebel, who would have believed it and who could have seen so far!

The group of generals were silent. They had never seen Chai Jin, nor had they fought with Liangshan troops. In the past, they always thought that it was Gao Qiu, the leader of the army who did not understand military, which caused the consequences of defeat.

But now ...

"Where has Liu Yanqing been?" Tong Guan suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Bing hurriedly said: "I have left Mingzhou and can enter Xiaoshan for up to three days!"

Tong Guan nodded slightly, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Although we can't find more warships, we can't drag them anymore. When Liu Yanqing returns to the army, the entire army will set sail in Hangzhou."

...

It was another year of spring green willows, and in Hangzhou city downstream of the canal, Shenggong Fang La survived another winter.

In this winter, although Mingzhou and other places have been taken away by the government troops, this is all within his expectations. Even Fang La did not dare to intercept Liu Yanqing from Hangzhou Bay to cross Yuezhou.

I was worried that once the troops were divided, I was afraid that the Chi'ankou camp would not be able to defend it.

However, the loss of Mingzhou made the ministers in Jiangnan even more look forward to the Liangshan army that formed an alliance in the north.

Fang La led Fang Jie, the Imperial Camp general manager, back to the palace, and ordered people to call the left and right prime ministers Lou Minzhong, Zu Shiyuan, as well as the Shangshu Wang Yin and other important officials.

The weather is getting warm, and Mingzhou has already taken the lead. Hangzhou City, which has been quiet for a winter, can only be endless fighting...

When Lou Minzhong and others hurried in to salute, Fang La said, "I just returned from the prince's camp. My brothers are waiting for their morale to be strong, and they should not be afraid of the sudden attack of Tong Guan, the big traitor. But I don't know what happened in Liangshan.

It's OK, I haven't heard any movement?"

Lou Minzhong bowed and replied, "Report to the Lord, Liangshan is far away from Liangzhe Road, and he can only come along the coast by boat. I think he won't advance so casually. We are afraid we have to wait a little longer.

Now.”

Zu Shiyuan nodded and said, "Although there are many warships in the sea in the Ping Navy in Liangshan, they cannot escort too many people and equipment at once. I think Chai Jin should look for a wide island along the coast of Mingzhou, first place food and grass, and then slowly drive it.

Go to Jiangnan.”

Although Wang Yin was a Shangshu, his force was higher than his knowledge. He couldn't help but ask: "Would we send someone to Shandong to urge him?"

Lou Minzhong shook his head and said, "Now Mingzhou is dead and the coastal areas are also controlled by the government. If we send people there again, it will be a little inconvenient."

Fang La frowned when she heard this. He had to wait for them again. What if he didn't come?

Just as he was about to ask, he saw his nephew Fang Jie suddenly walked into the hall and bowed and reported: "Muzhou Deng and Shi, the two marshals, have sent you another letter of request for battle."

When Fang La and others saw that they said, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

He took the letter and looked at Lou Minzhong and joked: "Monk Deng and his brothers have asked me for battle many times. Every time he refuses him, he will send another letter a few days later. I really can't do anything to them."

Wang Yin, Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao and others are old brothers who have risen together, and they have a great relationship. They smiled and said, "They are both fighting spirits, so how can they stand sitting in Muzhou City every day.

ah."

Fang La shook his head and said, "You send me a message to them. Just say that if you kill Tong Guan, the big traitor, I will go back to Muzhou to drink with them."

Fang Jie smiled and took the order.

...

"Report!"

A probe flew into the Jiangnan rebel camp at Chiankou, north of Hangzhou City.

"Reported to the Crown Prince, Liu Yanqing did not return to the official army camp along Hangzhou Bay, but established a camp in the northwest of Xiaoshan."

Fang Tianding looked at Master Lu and asked, "If this dog thief doesn't go back, is it because he wants to sneak attack Hangzhou City in the south?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Master Lu bowed and said, "After hearing the reward of the horse exploration, Liu Yanqing was running all the way, and he would never dare to advance recklessly."

Si Xingfang, one of the four great marshals in Jiangnan, also nodded and said, "Lu Shumi's words are reasonable. If the final prediction is not bad, he will definitely want to wait for Tong Guan to defeat our troops and force the Shenggong to escape, and lead the army outside Hangzhou City.

Intercepted.”

"I have a great dream of spring and autumn." Fangmao cursed: "Do you really think we are having a good meal? I will now lead a group of people to Xiaoshan to destroy this old thief first!"

"No."

Lu Shinang and Si Xingfang advised in unison: "We can no longer divide the troops."

Fang Mao was a powerful general, and he didn't expect so many things to do, so he continued to ask: "What if he wanted to sneak attack our camp around the back?"

Fang Tianding had a strategy in his heart, shook his head and explained: "Uncle, don't worry, we have Hangzhou City to the south as our support, and Huantang River on the side, so he couldn't even go around. We just need to guard Chi'ankou, and Liu Yanqing would be stupid.

Let him wait. After destroying Tong Guan, see if he can escape to the sea."

Master Lu nodded and smiled, "Your Highness, as long as the Liangshan army arrives in Mingzhou, Liu Yanqing's troops will be like turtles in a jar."

Fang Tianding and others persuaded Fang Meng, who wanted to fight, in the end, to be safe, and temporarily dispatched to Anxi Town to guard to prevent Tong Guan from killing the men who were shot back to the north bank of Qiantang River.

.

Although there were not many troops, the general in charge was Du Wei, the chief general of the Ma Campus Army, who had always been steady, which was enough to relieve everyone.

But just as everyone in Jiangnan calmed down and silently looked forward to the Liangshan people, the Beidaying, which was at the forefront of Marshal Li Tianrun, sounded endless horns.

The official army attacked!

...

The Jiangnan rebel army survived the winter, and the Song Dynasty's official army was the same. After receiving the news that Liu Yanqing was already stationed in Xiaoshan, Tong Guan could no longer wait.

All the ships that could be found in Jiankang Navy, Mingzhou, Jiangzhou and other places squeezed into the canal. No matter how many water camps you set up in front of you, Tong Guan was not afraid. Because what he wanted was not to kill the enemy.

How many, I never thought about saving ships. What he wanted was to cross the river and flat.

He ordered people to fill all the ships in front with flammable objects. After a few rockets, the huge fireboat crashed directly into the gate of Jiangnan Shuzhai Village.

Cheng Gui had no choice but to watch the fire on the gate of the water village burning bigger and bigger. He cursed in his heart: "Master, see how many ships you have burned!"

Looking back at Fei Bao, Ni Yun and others, he shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, it's time to show your abilities. If our waterway cannot be kept, the official army can directly enter Yongkin Gate. If that is the case, brothers on the shore

But I couldn't help at once."

The four heroes of Taihu Lake looked terrified and bowed their hands to promise.

He held his weapons tightly and turned around and headed towards his own warship.

They knew that in the end, they would still have to fight for the knife in their hands.

...

The temporary water gates were burned by the fire. After the smoke, dozens of warships were led by the Jiankang Navy and rushed towards the Jiangnan Navy.

Suddenly, the fighting drums slammed the blood of all the men on both sides, and the hands holding swords and guns burst into veins.

This is on the narrow canal, not on the wide Taihu Lake, where the fast or slow warships are no longer effective. The only thing they can do is kill, kill all the enemies and protect themselves!

"Shoot the arrow!"

"shoot!"

"shoot!"

...

The generals on the warships on both sides issued a stern order, and saw arrows over the canal like locusts and rain covering the sky. They whistled through the sky...

Wherever the arrow fell, screams and wails rang among the two armies. Even if your shield is tightly defended, it still cannot block the arrow with a cold light.
To be continued...
