Half a month later, Li Gang finally got the order and signed a one-year non-aggression treaty with Liang Shanbo.
Looking at the treaty document in his hand, Li Gang had a complex expression. This kind of thing would probably be despised forever.
"Mr. Li, let's say goodbye then!"
Sun Lei looked at Li Gang and said with a smile. And raised the treaty document in his hand.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"Haha, I said it before, I want this world to be the way I like it, but the world is so bad now!"
Sun Lei smiled and said.
Li Gang looked at Sun Lei leaving and sighed in his heart. If Sun Lei was willing to serve the court, the glory of the Song Dynasty would be just around the corner.
Huaiyang Army.
Sun Lei took everyone by boat and quickly arrived at the outskirts of Hongze Lake.
"Leader Sun, ahead is Hongze Lake, and further ahead is Gaoyou Lake, which is directly towards Yangzhou!"
Fang Baihua pointed to the south with excitement and said.
"Rest where you are!"
Sun Lei smiled and pointed to the huge reed swamps around Hongze Lake. There would be no problem hiding a hundred thousand troops here.
"Not moving forward?"
Fang Baihua was stunned for a moment, but quickly asked again.
Sun Lei did not reply, he just smiled and returned to the cabin.
"Du Bo and Yuan Lang, lead the troops to capture Haizhou!"
Sun Lei looked at Du Bo and Yuan Lang and said, although he signed a non-aggression treaty with Li Gang, it bound Liangshan and Tokyo, that is, Liangshanbo would not expand westward, but he did not promise not to expand southward.
"Yes, brother!"
Du Bo and Yuan Lang clasped their fists, ordered their troops and horses, and headed towards Haizhou in the east.
"Shi Qian, take people to investigate ahead!"
Sun Lei looked at Shi Qian again and said, they were not familiar with this place, and it was not his character to use troops rashly.
"Yes, brother!"
Shi Qian also went there with his orders.
"Brother, let's wait here?"
Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei and asked, since the army has arrived at Hongze Lake, why should they test and fight.
"Fang La hasn't fought yet, what should we fight?"
Sun Lei shook his head and said.
"Master Lu, Fang La's request for help is actually not sincere at all. He only sent Fang Baihua, a woman, to ask for help. This is not in line with the rules at all."
Wen Huanzhang smiled.
"What's wrong with this?"
Lu Zhishen didn't feel anything about this.
"Master Lu, when Fang La asks for help, he should ask us to go to Jiangnan. He only allows us to harass Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River and share the pressure in the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, he refuses us to enter the south of the Yangtze River. Even if his life is on the line, he will not allow us to get involved in the south of the Yangtze River. How is this? Come with sincerity!”
Wen Huanzhang added with a smile.
"Jiangnan?"
Lu Zhishen didn't think much about it, he just thought he was here for support.
"Master Lu, those Fang La people are not good people. They talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but they are robbers and thieves behind their backs. Why should we save them?"
Pang Wanchun looked at Lu Zhishen and asked, people like Fang La confuse people all day long, and they don't do evil just once or twice.
"Then Monk Deng doesn't look like a bad person!"
Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and said.
"It's normal to have a good one among the bad guys! But he alone can't change the Ming Cult."
Sun Lei raised his head and said.
"Leader Sun!"
Fang Baihua's voice sounded, and Fang Baihua was seen fully clothed, holding a sword, and jumped onto the boat.
"What is the Hundred Flowers Saint doing?"
Sun Lei looked at Fang Baihua and asked.
"Leader Sun, I'd better go to Jiangnan first to check the situation!"
Fang Baihua cupped her fists at Sun Lei.
"Holy Maid of Hundred Flowers, now the Yangtze River is lined with military warships. If you go here, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?"
Sun Lei looked at Fang Baihua and said that the army was preparing to launch a general offensive after the new year, but he didn't know why it was already the end of February and they still didn't take action.
"Don't worry, Leader Sun, I have a solution!"
Fang Baihua said.
"If that's the case, then I won't give it away!"
Sun Lei nodded, Fang Baihua cupped his fists and left.
"Look, Mingjiao still has a way, but they just don't want to tell us!"
Sun Lei looked at Fang Baihua walking away and said,
…
Yangzhou.
"Two generals, now the Liangshan bandits have arrived at Hongze Lake. Our rear is threatened. Do you have any countermeasures?"
Tan Zhen looked at Wang Zhen and Liu Zhen in front of him and said.
"Sir, the Liangshan bandits are ferocious. With our strength, I am afraid we will not be able to deal with Sun Lei and Fang La at the same time."
Wang Zhen said with a solemn expression, Sun Lei has been very popular in recent years and has won every battle, which makes him feel even more stressed.
"It's better to ask the imperial court for help!"
Liu Zhen said.
"Now Tongxiang is in Hebei..."
Wang Zhen said, Tong Guan wanted to recapture Yanyun, but the army was in Hebei at this time. Even if Tong Guan was willing to bring troops, it would be too late.
"Sir, the little bandits are not worth mentioning. The young general is willing to lead the troops to destroy the bandits!"
A young general came out to perform Baoquando. He had five long beards, a fair complexion, smooth skin, a tall body, a handsome demeanor, and bright eyes. At first glance, he was a brave man.
"Han Shizhong, this is not the place for you to talk!"
When Wang Zhen saw it was Han Shizhong, he immediately frowned and scolded him. Han Shizhong was just a Jinyong deputy lieutenant. He would easily be punished by his superiors if he spoke in such circumstances.
"You dare to kill the bandits?"
Tan Zhen looked at Han Shizhong. He was a eunuch. He didn't care about the official position of the person speaking, as long as he could solve the problems he encountered.
"Why don't you dare!"
Han Shizhong said proudly.
"Everyone in the world says that the Liangshan bandits are powerful, but the young general just refuses to accept them. He is just a bandit, what the hell!"
Han Shizhong continued.
"Okay, you lead three thousand troops and go try the thieves!"
Tan Zhen looked at Han Shizhong and said, he didn't believe that a copycat thief could be that powerful.
"yes!"
Han Shizhong was overjoyed and saluted with his fists in hand.
"Sir, the general is also going far away!"
Wang Yuan also spoke at this time. He knew that Han Shizhong was brave and brave, and now he was so confident that he wanted to share the credit.
"Okay, you can also lead three thousand troops and go together."
Tan Zhen naturally agreed.
"Sir, I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed again! I'm afraid it's inappropriate to go there rashly!"
Wang Zhen advised.
"No more persuasion is needed. The thief is here. Are we still going to sit idly by and ignore him?"
Tan Zhen didn't want to wait any longer. Now that the army was ready, the encirclement and suppression of Fang La was right in front of him, and he must not let Sun Lei ruin his plan.
"Sir, in that case, I think the vanguard army should cross the river and capture Runzhou."
Liu Yanqing said.
"Okay, the thirty thousand vanguard army will cross the river immediately, capture Runzhou, and march into Changzhou and Jiangyin!"
Tan Zhen nodded and said, they have surrounded and exterminated all the Mingjiao people in Jiangbei in the past six months. Now that Jiangnan has been in turmoil for a year, it is time to capture them.
Han Shizhong and Wang Yuan led an army of 6,000 people all the way north along the canal.
"Captain Han, this is a great opportunity for us to make contributions!"
Wang Yuan looked at Han Shizhong with a smile and said.
"Wang Xianfeng, we are just going to test whether the thief is real or not."
Han Shizhong shook his head and said, they only have six thousand soldiers and horses, and the thieves are said to have arrived in tens of thousands. If they really want to fight, they will have to wait for the Yangzhou army to move north. At most, they are just pioneers.
