A few months later, the weather warmed up in early spring, and the flowers and plants in the Tokyo Imperial Palace revived, finally gaining some vitality.

In just a few months, the situation in the world has undergone new changes. Now the entire Jianghuai and Southwest China, and most of the country that originally belonged to the Song Dynasty, has surrendered to Zhou You. It can be said that Zhou You is invincible, as if Zhou You is really destined by fate.

Return.

Only in the south of the Yangtze River, as Fang La's rebel army grew larger and captured Hangzhou, it became even more powerful. There were still some remaining forces of the Song Dynasty loyal to the Song Dynasty that gathered in Jiangzhou, hoping to continue the Song Dynasty.

However, the new emperor surnamed Zhao they had just supported died inexplicably not long after he ascended the throne in Jiangzhou. As a result, they could not find a suitable person to support the new emperor for a while, and no descendants surnamed Zhao were willing.

Go and pawn.

In fact, the short-lived ghost whose name Zhou You had never heard of was assassinated by Zhou You, and he died in such a way that no one could find out the cause of death, which naturally makes it easier for people to speculate.

In fact, neither the remnants of the Song Dynasty nor Fang La had ever seen Zhou You. What he cared about was always the stability of the northern and northwest borders. Both the Jin people and the Xixia people were eyeing the Central Plains with covetous ambitions.

ah!

On that day, the weather was warm, and Zhou You was breathing fresh air in the imperial garden with the pregnant Queen Li Shishi.

Since he has never had children while traveling around the world, Li Shishi, who was the first to be pregnant with his child after he became emperor, naturally became the queen. In this regard, both the brothers in Liangshan and the civil and military officials who later joined Daliang

None of the ministers could raise any objections.

For an emperor, the heir is very important! It is related to the stability of the country and the people. So as long as Li Shishi can give birth to a son for Zhou You, no matter what her background is, everyone will want her to become the queen to ensure this

The only legitimate son of the current prince.

Therefore, even if Zhou You did not make Li Shishi queen, after she gave birth to a son, the courtiers would take the initiative to ask Zhou You to make him queen or even crown prince.

After taking a walk to stretch out his body, Zhou You had just helped Li Shishi sit down and rest in the pavilion of the imperial garden when a palace maid came to report that it was the military adviser Zuo Prime Minister Wu Liang who had come to report an urgent military situation.

"Your Majesty, Wu Yong, is here to see the Queen," Wu Yong, who was an official, hurriedly saluted outside the pavilion.

"Okay, military advisor, tell me what you have to say, don't worry about these false courtesy," Zhou You waved his hand lightly, stood up, greeted Wu Yong, and walked towards the corridor beside him.

Wu Yong also responded and hurriedly followed: "Your Majesty, the military report just came from Daizhou, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Qin Ming and others won another great victory. They annihilated tens of thousands of Jin's elite in one battle! And they took the opportunity to seize the opportunity.

After leaving Shuozhou and Yingzhou, I believe that the Jin people will not easily invade south again in a short time."

"In addition, General Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others also fought well in the northwest. They have recaptured the Hehuang land that the Xixia people took the opportunity to occupy, and defeated the Xixia army in Lanzhou. There is no need to worry about the northwest," Wu Yong followed.

Liandao was excited and delighted.

After hearing this, Zhou You couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and laughed: "Haha, good fighting! It seems that this Xixia is just like the Song Dynasty, and can't help but fight more and more!"

"Your Majesty, this is mainly because our Daliang army is elite, and the border troops in the northwest, especially the Zhong family army, are quite capable," Wu Yonglian said, "They and the Xixia army are old rivals."

"If we can stabilize the border before spring, we won't have to worry about affecting the spring plowing in the north," Zhou You continued with a slight nod.

Wu Yong couldn't help but nodded with emotion after hearing this: "Yes! If it weren't for His Majesty's extraordinary means, I, Daliang, don't have the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and I can't support the consumption of money and food for successive wars!"

"After the most difficult period, everything will be fine next," Zhou You continued with a smile: "Let the army repair for the time being, and after the spring plowing, we will send troops to annihilate Fang La. Now, Fang La should have almost destroyed Jiangnan.

If we don’t break it, we can’t establish it. With his efforts, after we take over Jiangnan, the resistance to dividing the land will be much smaller."

Allocating land is not a simple matter. Ordinary people and landless people are naturally happy to allocate land. But how can the powerful landlords and big families be willing to let the land passed down from their ancestors be allocated to farmers with little land?

In the north, traveling around relies on war and punishing local powerful and evil gentry to obtain a large amount of land for distribution. However, in the south, the power of the landlords is stronger, and the help for the distribution of land is undoubtedly greater. They blindly rely on hard-line methods.

It is easy to cause trouble.

As the saying goes, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small one." A good policy may not necessarily be implemented well. We must pay attention to methods and methods. Sometimes we should be tough, but more often we need to compromise to ensure that we do not

Make trouble.

Sometimes, you need to seize the opportunity and be ruthless enough to sit back and watch Fang La wreak havoc in the south. After the chaos, it will be easier for the south to usher in real peace.

A superior person must know the trade-offs and choices. All policies must weigh the pros and cons, and ultimately choose the best method, even if it is not the most perfect, as long as it is the most suitable.

At the end of March, the 200,000-strong Liang Army, with Song Jiang as commander and Wu Yong as military advisor, divided into three routes from the Huaihe River area and moved southward, with Hu Yanzhuo, Qin Ming, Zhang Qing, and Dong Pingping as vanguard generals, as well as a number of generals and majors.

, together with the three Ruan brothers, Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and other navy generals, they advanced by land and water, and took Jiangzhou and Hangzhou straight away like breaking bamboo.

The army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and soon Huang Wenbing's support captured Jiangzhou. Then the army went down the river and encircled Hangzhou.

Although Fang La is not good at governing the place, his rebel army is composed of many desperadoes and their combat effectiveness is still very powerful. There are also some generals with excellent martial arts skills. Therefore, even if the Liang Army has the advantage in strength and ordnance, the Battle of Jiangnan will still be fought.

It must be more tragic.

The Battle of Jiangnan lasted for two or three months before the Liang Army finally captured Hangzhou, killed Fang La, and completely pacified the entire Jiangnan area, causing other southern states to surrender one after another.

In fact, there was no suspense in this war at all. In the TV series, only the Liangshan troops, under the constraints of the traitorous officials of the imperial court, still wiped out Fang La, but the casualties they paid were also huge.

With the great power of the Liang Army, even though Fang La has grown so big now with Zhou You's deliberate connivance, sweeping half of the south of the Yangtze River, Fang La, who doesn't know much about governance, still hasn't been able to make himself stronger with the rich land of the south of the Yangtze River.

However, there were some troubles within the rebel army.

Sudden rise, possession of power, wealth and enjoyment can easily corrode people's hearts and make people indulge in it without making progress. Moreover, although Fang La and others have bravery and courage and some abilities, their vision is still too narrow and they have no foresight.

.

To put it bluntly, it was a group of reckless men who rebelled. They occupied too much territory and could not play any more. They were greedy for comfort and enjoyment, had no sense of crisis, and even started fighting among themselves. This is the disadvantage of the peasant uprising!

If Liangshan had not had a wise leader like Zhou You, who had foresight, could seize opportunities, and dared to think and do, there would not be the current Daliang. If you like movies and TV shows, please save them: (https://www.bajiewx.com
