The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

This is clearly the little benefactor who saved him back then, Fang Qifo rode over there, but Yang Tianning had long forgotten the beggar back then.

Seeing Fang Qifo approaching, Yang Tianning's heart jumped into his throat, and his face also showed a look of fear.

"Little benefactor? Why did you fall to this point? Is there a war in Yangzhou?"

Yang Tianning had an idea, pretended to be dumb, and just waved his hands after a few words.

Looking at his appearance, no one would be suspicious, because he was persecuted when he was young, and he looked like a fleeing refugee when he was wearing brocade clothes.

Fang Qifo thought for a moment, lifted him up, put him on his horse, took out a piece of dry food from his bag, and said: "The war is in chaos, how can Xiao Engong survive alone, why not follow me to save King Ming. As long as I If you live a day, you will protect your little benefactor for a day."

It's not that he doesn't know that Fang La's situation is more dangerous than good, but it's still too dangerous for an orphan in this chaotic place where law and discipline have been lost.

Yang Tianning sat on the horse, his eyes rolled, and the fear in his heart disappeared.

This person is obviously the leader of the rebels. It is not as easy to find information on the road as it is to go to the den of thieves.

Hangzhou City, in the back garden of Fangla Palace.

Fangla's palace was built on the original royal palace, with rippling waves in the blue lake, red pillars and blue tiles in the pavilion in the center of the lake, and cornices at four corners, like a swallow ready to fly.

The tall and majestic main hall has front hall, screen wall, corridor, middle hall, horticultural garden of courtyard, back hall, back garden, attached garden, scaled houses, Quyuan Huige, which is very luxurious.

All of this did not give Fang La any sense of belonging. This place will soon no longer belong to him, and everyone knows this.

Fang La was in a hurry. After being surrounded for so long, her subordinates came to die in batches, but the strongest Fang Seven Buddhas were nowhere to be seen.

Shi Bao babbled at the side: "That white-eyed wolf has been in the church for such a short time, it really is not a good thing, King Ming has been besieged for so long, but his [-] troops have not been seen."

Everyone present knew that he was referring to Fang Qifo. When people are helpless and desperate, they always like to find a scapegoat to come out and swear.

Fang La held the railing with his hands, and the wood he grasped was slightly dented, with a few finger marks on it.

"Shut up! The Seven Buddhas are not ungrateful people. The officers and soldiers have not beaten them yet. Why do you mess up first?"

Fang La's prestige was still there, and all the arrogant soldiers under his command shut up together, and the pavilion in the center of the lake was full of sighs.

Suddenly, a pawn rushed over, came up close and clasped his fists and said, "Sheng Gong, there is a lot of shouting and killing outside, it is General Fang Qifo who came to kill him."

1Chapter 16 Chua's Death

Hearing that Fang Qifo led the troops to attack, Yang Lin slapped his thigh and said, "Let's open your mouth, there is no reason to be worried, this is just sleepy and giving a pillow."

Picking up the sword on the table and putting on the armor with the help of his own soldiers, Yang Lin responded immediately.

In the camp of the Song army, the order flags were waved, and the order soldiers scattered out, and soon Xicheng was quietly released.

The army encircled and wiped out Fang Qifo, unlike other generals under Fang La's command, Fang Qifo was not skilled in martial arts and was under the command of the Chinese army.

He was also in Fang La's camp, one of the few who knew how to command and fight, and the others just rushed forward with their arms off and their swords in hand, looking like they were fighting with weapons.

This time, Fang Qifo kept all the red scarf soldiers by his side. These people were Fang La's loyal followers, and the others were ordinary rebels with various turbans.

He knew that wanting to defeat these Song troops was nothing more than a dream. The only chance right now was to attract the troops of the Song army so that Ming Wang Fang La had a chance to escape.

Fang La and the others were about to leave the city and fight for a way out when someone came to report: In order to encircle and annihilate the reinforcements, the Song army in the west city was lax in their defenses, and not many people had already withdrawn.

Fang La and the others were overjoyed, and immediately put on their armor, and sent the rebels with various turbans out of the city to help in the battle, and led the confidants in red scarves to kill secretly to the west gate.

Abandoning all the trapped refugees, Fang La fled with the Red Scarf Army, all the way west.

Yang Lin was not in a hurry to catch up, but ordered his troops to occupy Hangzhou. The defense in the city was empty. The suspension bridge at the west city gate was lowered and no one was responsible for pulling it up. Everyone followed Fang La and fled for their lives.

Soon, the head of Hangzhou City was occupied by the Song army. This famous southeastern city fell for more than a month and returned to Song Ting's hands.

The Song army at the head of the city cooperated with the Song army below, and quickly took the initiative on the battlefield. The rebels, who were already weak in combat effectiveness, had no way to fight back.

Fang Qifo saw the change of flags on the top of the city, and thought that either King Ming escaped or was killed. He had no objection to this bloody battle, so he immediately ordered the red scarf army to retreat.

With those cannon fodder in their rear, these people fled quickly, bypassing the cities and counties along the way, and fled to Qingxi County, Muzhou, the headquarters of the Ming Cult.

The Three Caves of the Rabbit, not to mention the Mingjiao who have conspired to rebel for many years. They have their own lair in the mountains of Qingxi County for many years.

As long as he fled back there, relying on the facilities in the mountains and his familiarity with the jungle roads in the mountains, he would not be afraid of the government's siege at all.

This is a secret that all the core Mingjiao know, so Fang La can't wait to escape from Hangzhou, and has no intention of occupying Hangzhou to resist.

They thought they had left a safe path, and Yang Tianning, who was taken behind by Fang Qifo, was a little flustered. These people escaped so fast, could they come back and report the news?

Hangzhou was restored, and Yang Lin wrote to the court to ask for credit. It is good to have a reliable boss, and the credit for winning the battle will never be given away.

After asking Gong Biao to send someone to Bianliang, Yang Lin held a banquet in a restaurant in Hangzhou City to entertain all the gentry and celebrities of the Song Dynasty who were imprisoned and persecuted in the city.

A white-haired old man, with tears running down his face, pushed his way through the crowd and cried, "Young Shaozai, where is Young Shaozai?"

Yang Lin looked carefully and exclaimed, "Xu Shilang, why are you here?"

"The old man resigned from office and returned to his hometown, but unexpectedly encountered such a disaster." Xu Jiang cried as he said, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot.

Yang Lin already knew that General Xu had resigned, and even bought his house. At that time, General Xu was talking about going back to his hometown. If he remembered correctly, General Xu was from Fujian, just like Cai Jing.

After asking, I found out that Fujian is relatively remote at this time, and generally scholars who have become officials are not willing to go back, but prefer to stay in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Yang Lin hurriedly invited him to his side, and comforted him: "Mr. Xu is suffering, and it's all because of my inability to suppress the bandits, which made the elders in Hangzhou suffer a lot."

A group of beggar-like gentry and celebrities below hurried forward to express their thanks, and bluntly said that it is not a lack of slaughter, we are all barren land with withered bones.

Yang Lin winked, and Gao Gang next to him understood, and stood up and said, "Fathers and elders, this time Yang Shaozai confiscated Fangla, and his hard work is for the sake of the people on Liangzhe Road. Build a pavilion for Yang Shaozai to commemorate this time's achievements in suppression."

"Ah? My officer, what virtue can he do? How can I not deserve this praise? I can't deserve it." Yang Lin quickly stood up and declined.

Gao Shan pulled out his waist knife and thrust it into the ground, scaring the people around him to run away.

Holding on to the hilt of the knife, raised his eyebrows, Gao San's yamen sternly said: "Young Zai only cares about his own nobility and disregards the wishes of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Does it mean that Gao Shan must die to show his will before he accepts it?"

The gentry in Hangzhou persuaded one after another: "Shao Zai should agree."

"Yang Shaozai deserves this building."

"I wait for the people of Hangzhou, and I am willing to write thousands of people's books for Yang Shao, so as to show his virtue."

Seeing the turmoil of the crowd, Yang Lin nodded secretly, and "helplessly" agreed.Only then did Gao Shan put away the simple knife, and stood aside excitedly.

Fang La broke up several state capitals and more than 40 county capitals, and collected countless treasures. Yang Lin took out some of them to appease the local refugees and reward the soldiers who fought.
