Mingjiao believers in the capital came back with news that the 150,000 troops led by Tong Guan were already on their way over, and Fang La was worried about how to resist them.
Eunuch Sun stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, the military advisor wants to see you!"
The lame Taoist is the military adviser of the rebel army. He often has strange plans and may have a way to deal with Tong Guan's 150,000 army.
Hearing this, Fang La hurriedly said:
"Please invite the military advisor to come in quickly."
The lame Taoist walked into the Jinluan Hall, bowed and said:
"I am here to see Your Majesty, may my Emperor live long, long live!"
Fang La waved his hand and said:
"There is no need to be polite, military advisor. I heard that Tong Guan led an army of 150,000 people and headed straight for Hangzhou. Does the military advisor have any strategies to defeat the enemy?"
The lame Taoist said:
"Wei Chen once said that if you get the talent of Xu Xian from the south of the Yangtze River, you can conquer the world.
To defeat Tong Guan's 150,000 troops, Xu Xian needs to be invited over first. "
Fang La sighed:
"Xu Xian does have unpredictable powers, but he is too pedantic, too obsessed with good and evil, right and wrong, and does not know how to adapt, so it is difficult for me to use him."
The lame Taoist said:
"Xu Xianzheng is too obsessed with good and evil and cannot see the suffering of the people. At this moment, he is transforming into Chen San and killing officials and rebelling in Taiyi County."
"Taiyi County."
Fang La pondered:
"In order to realize his ideal, Baihua led her army to conquer local tyrants in Liangyi County to allocate their fields.
Liangyi County is next to Taiyi County. "
The lame Taoist said:
"The saint met Xu Xian while practicing medicine and fell in love with him at first sight.
If Your Majesty can bring about good things between the two of them, Xu Xian will be one of your own from now on.
Xu Xian was obliged to deal with Tong Guan.
With the help of Xu Xian, it is easy to conquer the world.
I would like to express my sincere wishes in advance to Your Majesty to rule the world forever. "
Fang La said:
"However, Xu Xian already has a wife, so letting Baihua be her concubine would be too unfair to her."
The lame Taoist said:
"With the saint's talent and His Majesty's status, why should we worry that the saint will be wronged?
By then, the whole world will belong to His Majesty. How dare Xu Xian let the saint be wronged? "
Fang La pondered:
"If Xu Xian refuses to come over, will Baihua have to fight with him? Wouldn't that hurt the harmony?"
The lame Taoist said:
"The Saint's personal army is more principled in doing things. Unlike other armies, they love the people like sons and have never harmed the people. Xu Xian cannot do anything and dare not go on a killing spree.
If the two sides really fight, it will be the people of Taiyi County who suffer, and Xu Xian will definitely not dare to fight.
According to Wei Chen's speculation, Xu Xian would naturally be captured without any help as long as the Holy Maiden came to the city, intimidated by force, and convinced by reason. "
After being reminded by the lame Taoist, Fang La wrote a letter saying that the imperial court's 150,000-strong army was on its way over and the rebel army could not resist it. Only Chen San could change the fate of the rebel army.
Fang La introduced Chen San's weaknesses in detail and asked Fang Baihua to act according to the plan, but did not mention the marriage.
In order to avoid Fang Baihua's psychological burden and avoid being unwilling to marry Xu Xian in the future. Fang La did not point out that Chen San was Xu Xian.
Since Xu Xian left, Fang Baihua has been distracted every day, thinking about the gentle, elegant and graceful Xu Xian.
She knew that she was completely in love with Xu Xian.
Fang Baihua found many excuses to meet Xu Xian, such as meeting by chance, asking for advice on medical skills, or asking Xu Xian to come and save people.
She made a lot of excuses, but Fang Baihua didn't dare to implement any of them. She thought it was too fake and Xu Xian would definitely see through it. It would be too embarrassing.
Just when Fang Baihua was trapped by love and hesitated, she received a letter from Fang La, asking him to take Xu Xian to Hangzhou City.
This time is not just about the personal relationship between the children, but also about the life and death of the rebel army. If Xu Xian is not brought there, the Yongle Uprising may soon fail completely.
Fang Baihua had an excuse, so she no longer hesitated, ordered her troops and horses, and rushed towards Taiyi City in a mighty manner.
Fang Baihua's pro-army has a total of 9,000 people, most of whom are members of the Ming sect. They are poor people who have been forced into desperation by local officers and soldiers or local tyrants. They are the force that Fang La has developed over the years and are the foundation of the Yongle Uprising.
Before the Fangla Uprising, Fang Baihua's nine thousand people were lurking in various places, saying no to all kinds of injustice, saving the suffering people, and developing the power of Mingjiao.
They have all gone through the test, and they are a group of people who are organized, disciplined, ideal, and ambitious, and who refuse to join the others.
Before Fang La's uprising, the real trump card was Fang Baihua, the nine thousand Mingjiao brothers.
Fang La also conquered several forces, but he did not fully control them. The two parties were only united because of interests.
After the rebels occupied Hangzhou City, they faced more and more temptations. Other armies did not hold on to the bottom line and began to secretly make money in Hangzhou City.
Blinded by the benefits, the rebels forgot their original intention and slowly became unscrupulous, openly burning, killing and looting in the city of Hangzhou.
Although Fang Baihua's nine thousand rebels were able to hold the bottom line, two voices emerged.
The first voice is to ask Fang La to restrain the rebels. Don't forget the original intention. The Yongle Uprising is to overthrow the rule of Dachu and establish an ideal country where "all laws are equal and there is no superiority", rather than becoming a bunch of bandits.
Another voice is to rationalize burning, killing and looting. They can attack local tyrants to divide their fields, but innocent civilians cannot be harmed.
After all, some people are actually wavering. They don't want other rebels to enjoy exclusive benefits, and they also want a piece of the pie.
There are no two paths to take, as taking either path will definitely lead to civil strife.
Rebels come together for loyalty, interests, or ideals.
Some people were originally bandits and joined the rebels just for profit. The rebels had grown too fast and had gotten out of control.
Fang La could only take advantage of the situation, and he could only turn a blind eye or close one eye to some violations of laws and disciplines.
After conquering the world, you can slowly transform it.
As for improving discipline, we cannot rush it.
If Fang Baihua's nine thousand pro-army troops continue to stay in Hangzhou City, it is inevitable that some of them will join forces with other rebels.
If even these nine thousand pro-army troops cannot hold the bottom line, the Yongle Uprising will become a complete laughing stock.
Therefore, Fang Baihua left Hangzhou City with nine thousand troops and came to Liangyi County. What Fang Baihua could not do in Hangzhou City, Fang Baihua did in Liangyi County.
Fang Baihua's nine thousand personal troops are the elite of the Ming Cult, and they are also the force that Fang La can truly fully control. They are a well-trained army that follows orders and prohibitions.
Xu Xian went to Taiyi County to allocate land to local tycoons. He just wanted the people to live and work in peace and contentment and be happy.
There was no intention to use it as a base for rebellion, so there was no further expansion of the army. The Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force still only had more than 300 people.
Facing the nine thousand well-trained Mingjiao elites, the three hundred Chenjiagou Self-Defense Force seemed too shabby.
In addition to ordering everyone to stick to their posts and strive to save Taiyi City, Chen Changxing sent people to deliver a message to tell Xu Xian of Taiyi City's predicament and ask him to find a way to defeat the enemy.
After Xu Xian and Jiulian said goodbye to Fang Baihua, they continued to practice medicine in various places, unaware of the invasion of the army.
After receiving the news from Chen Changxing, Xu Xian and Jiulian hurried back to Taiyi County.
Fortunately, the opponent did not attack.
Xu Xian sent an envoy to deliver the message, but he couldn't beat him. He just hoped that everything was a misunderstanding and it would be best if the hostility could be turned into friendship.
The other party's reply was to make an appointment with Xu Xian and Jiulian, and was signed "Little Medical Fairy".
Jiulian's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and shouted:
"Sister Baihua is trying to steal the bride!
Dad, just accept it. Lian'er really wants to have a new mother. "
Xu Xian's face was full of black lines, he gave Jiulian a bang and said:
"Don't mistake me for my mother. We are at war now. You must distinguish between friend and foe."
With his head shrinking, Jiulian chuckled:
"Dad is shy. Lian'er must tell Sister Baihua, uncle Changxing and the brothers and sisters in Chenjiagou, haha..."
Xu Xian was almost amused by Jiulian's cute appearance, and said with a straight face:
"Jiulian obeys the order!"
Jiulian's face was straightened, she stood at attention, made a military salute to Xu Xian, and said loudly:
"The general is here!"
Xu Xian said:
"The enemy has set up a banquet at Hongmen. Do you dare to accompany me to break into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den?"
Jiulian said loudly:
"The general will obey your orders. Go through fire and water, and never frown."
Xu Xian once conducted military training on Chenjiagou's self-defense. Jiulian found it fun and followed the training.
Xu Xian took it out on a whim and it worked.
Jiulian's childish face looked serious. It's just too cute.
