…

As soon as Cai Shen returned to Hangzhou, he learned that Hangzhou City had been captured and was captured by his own Jinwu army.

Of course, it is actually not accurate to say so.

To be precise, it should be:

The Central Imperial Army, the Western Army, and the Jinwu Army besieged Hangzhou. Especially after the Western Army and the Jinwu left and right troops reinforced, the Song army captured the city of Hangzhou in one fell swoop, causing the situation of Fang Layi's army to take a sharp turn.

At that time, only the central army of Fang La's troops were guarding Hangzhou. In terms of military strength, Fang La's rebel army did not have much advantage.

If Fang La's rebel army wants to win a war, it usually has to be several times that of the Song army, or at least multiples that of the Song army, even when he was the defender of the city.

The key is that the shortcoming of Fang Layi's army's lack of food and supplies broke out as Fang Layi's army could not quickly repel the Song army.

General Lu made another suggestion and persuaded Fang La to lead the army to withdraw from Hangzhou City immediately, which he believed was the only feasible solution.

But Fang La was unwilling to give up the Hangzhou City obtained through the bloody battle.

However, when the food and grass were about to be exhausted and casualties were increasing day by day, Fang Lacai led his troops to evacuate Hangzhou, hoping to fight against foreign aid, leaving Chen Zuotong, and General Lu and others to control 30,000 Fang La's rebel army to defend Hangzhou city.

Chen Zuotong, Lu Jiang and others held on for more than half a month, and the food and grass in the city were cut off.

After discussing, Chen Zuotong, Lu Jiang and others decided to lead their troops to open the city to break through.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zuotuo and Lu Jiang chose the direction they chose were not good, and they were choosing the direction they were stationed by the Jinwu Army.

Speaking of which, this is actually a misunderstanding.

Originally, this direction was garrisoned by the Central Imperial Forces.

However, the Fang La's rebel army attacked this direction at night, which made Tan Zhen very upset, and even more worried that if it could not be defended.

Later, Tan Zhen simply bullied Cai Shen in Wukang, and suppressed Fang Baihua in Deqing area. Chen's fourteen troops Fang La Yi army was not in Hangzhou, so he ordered Liu Qi and Yue Fei to change defense with him.

The first of the three major disciplines of the Jinwu Army is to obey commands all actions.

In name, Tan Zhen is indeed their chief.

The key is that just changing the defense is not a big deal.

So, Liu Qi and Yue Fei agreed.

Tan Zhen was afraid that Fang La's Yi army would change the direction of the attack if they had changed, so he ordered Liu Qi and Yue Fei to secretly change defense.

Chen Zhaodou, General Lu and others did not know that the Central Imperial Army and the Jinwu Army had changed their defenses, but they broke through from the direction where the Central Imperial Army was originally stationed.

It is conceivable that he was defeated by the Jinwu army in one battle.

The front-line commander, Zhai Xing, commander of the Jinwu Left Army, seized the opportunity of the fighter and asked Yang Zaixing to lead the Beiwei army into the city and occupied Hangzhou City in one fell swoop. Wang De, commander of the White Army, took Chen Zuotuan, General Lu and other leaders in one fell swoop.

When the Central Imperial Army and the Western Army reacted, the Jinwu Army had already occupied Hangzhou City.

Later, Tan Zhen bullied Cai but was still away, and transferred the Jinwu army outside the city, allowing the Jinwu army to garrison in the Xiaoshan area, allowing the Jinwu army to act as a barrier to the south of Hangzhou city, and at the same time, the Western army to the Yuhang-Lin'an-Fuyang area, allowing the Western army to act as a barrier to the west of Hangzhou city, while he himself led the Central Imperial Force to garrison in the city of Hangzhou.

Fang La was not willing to lose Hangzhou, and joined forces with Fang Wugong, Zheng Demon King, Lu Shinang and other troops to make a comeback, hoping to retake Hangzhou City.

But the several attacks of Fang La's rebels all caused the Western Army and Jinwu Army to repel them, and they had no choice but to withdraw back to Muzhou.

At the same time, Yang Keshi and Wang Bing's troops captured Dusong Pass and went south to attack Shezhou.

After learning that Hangzhou City had been recovered, Tong Guan handed over the Western Route Army to Liu Yanqing's command, and personally brought Shengjie Army to Hangzhou, and used Hangzhou as the base camp of the bandit suppression army.

The Song army is also preparing to start a large counterattack...

Cai Shen and Tong Guan went to Hangzhou.

As soon as Tong Guan arrived, he held a combat meeting decisively.

Cai Jian, who had just arrived in Xiaoshan, immediately rushed to Hangzhou City with Liu Qi.

When I arrived at the former Hangzhou Prefecture, the former Fang La Temple, the former establishment department, and the current Xuanfu Department, Cai still met Tan Zhen head-on.

When he saw Tan Zhen, Cai still smiled and said without a smile: "Than Zhizhi for taking care of our Jinwu Army during the period when Cai was still away, Cai still remembered it in his heart."

Of course, Tan Zhen knew that Cai still was talking about his bullying the Jinwu army. He beat him up and said, "Where, where, everyone is the Central Imperial Guard, they all serve the Song Dynasty. What are you and me? Why should you and me be so polite?"

As soon as Tan Zhen said this, Cai still knew that Tan Zhen intended to join the Jinwu Army back to the Central Imperial Army, and his ultimate goal was to steal the Jinwu Army's military achievements.

Cai still smiled and said, "It's better to distinguish clearly. I don't like to take advantage of others, nor do I like to take advantage of others. Besides, there are too many people eating here, so I'm afraid it will be a burden to Tan Zhizheng."

It was a coincidence that Liang Bingcong and others, who had been going south for several months, also came to attend the combat meeting, which was to show their faces so that they could go back to ask for me and boast about it in the future. They happened to hear the conversation between Cai Jian and Tan Zhen.

When the group of yamen stopped hearing Tan Zhen wanted to steal their military achievements, Liang Bingcong said without hesitation: "Damn it, I see who dares to come to my bowl to grab food. I will smash his bowl first!"

As soon as Liang Bingcong said this, he immediately echoed his voice.

Cai Jian saw it, walked over and said with a smile: "Brothers are here to attend the combat meeting, too?"

A group of yamen runners greeted Cai Jian:

"Brother Cai!"

"General!"

"Master!"

“…”

Cai still returned the gift one by one.

Liang Bingcong glanced at Tan Zhen and said, "Brother Cai, but someone wants to rob the brothers of their food? If so, say it, brothers and I will play with him to the end!"

Cai still smiled and said, "With Brother Liang and his brothers here, who dares to come to our bowls to grab food?"

Speaking of this, Cai Jian slowly put away his smile, and then said coldly: "Besides, my Cai Jian's knife is not bad. Whoever dares to steal my things, I will definitely chop off his dog's paws!"

After hearing Cai’s words, Liu Qi and others were so happy!

They finally realized that without Cai Jian's protection, they were nothing.

Then Tan Zhen realized that Cai was not Liu Qi and Yue Fei's little people who could not get on the table, but powerful officials with complex relationships, deep background, favored by the emperor, and both civil and military. If he really angered Cai and Cai was still fighting with him, he would never get any advantage.

Thinking about this, Tan Zhen regretted provoking Cai Shen.

but--

Tan Zhen is also a character who can stretch and bend. He immediately changed into a smile and stepped forward and said, "Why did Ziyin take it seriously? I'm just kidding you."

Cai still listened to the words, looked at Tan Zhen and said, "Is it a joke? Why did I hear that Hangzhou City was defeated by your Tan Zhishi?"

Tan Zhen's smile suddenly froze and he thought to himself: "I am the supreme commander of this battle, I'm the one who won it, can't it be?"

When Liang Bingcong and Yanei heard what Cai still said, they immediately said:

"Who said this? Hangzhou City was obviously fought by our Jinwu Army, and it was commanded by our General Cai!"

"That's right, I'm the first to rush into the city. Who dares to steal my military achievements? I'll chop off his claws!"

"Not bad, it's the commander of Brother Cai, and Brother Liang led us to fight. Is there anything to do with you, Big Tan?"

“…”

After hearing these yamen, Tan Zhen's face suddenly turned dark. He thought to himself: "If I don't steal yours, don't steal mine. No matter what, I am also the supreme commander of that battle. If I hadn't secretly transferred the Central Imperial Army and the Jinwu Army to defend, would I be able to defeat the rebels and attack Hangzhou City so smoothly?"

actually--

Not only did Tan Zhen's face turn dark, Cai Shen's smile also froze. He thought to himself: "The appetite of these grandchildren is too big!"

Sudden!

A sinister voice sounded: "It's quite lively here, what are you talking about?"

Everyone looked over with their voices and saw a Kui Wuwei, whose skin and bones were as strong as iron, and more than a dozen beards were coming over with the support of a large group of people.

That's right.

The person who came was Tong Guan and his Western Army generals.

Tong Guan is not Tan Zhen. Tan Zhen only knows how to talk about it on paper and has no real strength or record. Tong Guan really crawled from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. The key is that the Western Army is the hard power.

Therefore, Cai still dared not be angry with Tan Zhen, but did not dare to be polite with Tong Guan, at least on the surface.

Not only Cai is still like this, Liang Bingcong and others who seemed to be fearless just now also became honest.

Everyone said together: "I have met Xuan Xiang."

Tong Guan glanced at everyone, finally turned his eyes to Cai Gan, and said, "Before the rebels have been wiped out, are you in a hurry to divide the military achievements?"

Cai still said: "We are just joking, Xuan Xiang misunderstood."

"snort!"

Tong Guan snorted heavily, and then walked into the conference hall first.

Cai Jian and Tan Zhen followed him in, and then the generals of each army entered one after another according to their level...

After everyone sat down, Tong Guan said, "If you want to make meritorious and rewarded, you can do it, but you have to make money by your ability. Even if you make the false and fake ones, you will not be able to accept you. Sooner or later, you will have to come down..."

Speaking of this, Tong Guan swept through Tan Zhen, Liang Bingcong and others one by one.

Tong Guan said again: "And this is still good. Maybe one day you will be ruined and lose your life."

As soon as Tong Guan said this, Tan Zhen, Liang Bingcong and others' faces suddenly became very ugly.

But Tong Guan didn't look at them at all, but said straight to the point: "Okay, let's just say so much. Next, let's discuss how to completely wipe out this group of rebels. Who has any idea? You can raise it."

As soon as Tong Guan finished speaking, he looked at Cai Jian, as if saying, "If you have a fart, let it go. No one except you will point fingers at my plan."

Cai still couldn't help but touch his nose, then stood up, and said, "Now the rebels have been defeated in a row, it's time to launch a general attack to force the rebels' main force back to Qingxi and encircle and annihilate them on the spot."

Many people from the Western Army were about to say, "Nonsense, you need to say this, who doesn't know?" Cai still said, "The officials asked to lead their troops to Fuyang to attack Muzhou. The officials promised that Fang La would be captured alive and sent back to the capital, and that he would be cut into pieces!"

After hearing this, Tan Zhen immediately stood up and said, "Xuan Xuan, this matter must not be done!"

...
Chapter completed!
