Su Yonglin was prepared to lead the revolution of the times, and in the Luoxiao Mountain thousands of miles away, Zhao Yucheng was also preparing for the third anti-encirclement and suppression battle.

The two encirclement and suppression battles initiated by Shao Hongyuan failed and were successfully crushed by the peasant army. He also lost thousands of troops, but this was obviously not the end.

Shao Hongyuan never admitted that he was defeated, but just ignored it.

He felt that as long as he had enough logistical support and intelligence support, he could definitely win, and he didn't think he would be defeated at all.

The other party is just a group of bandits. If it weren't for someone on his side to drag him down and he was not familiar with the roads in the mountains, what can these bandits have to make him lose their lives?

Shao Hongyuan, who has been in the army for decades, has a certain degree of confidence in himself.

So after Feng Shixing, the special envoy sent by Zhang Jun, arrived in Jizhou, Shao Hongyuan immediately went to pay homage to Feng Shixing and told Feng Shixing about his needs.

Feng Shixing came to Jizhou here and took the title of official from the Privy Council and Zhang Jun's handwritten letter, and existed in the army as a military supervisor.

His duty is to deal with some dirty things that exist in the army.

Before coming, Zhang Jun told Feng Shixing some things in the army, so Feng Shixing probably knew that it was Shao Hongyuan who dared to fight, and Qi Fang who wanted to waste national treasury.

Moreover, Qi Fang is very likely to have collusion with the rebels, so once Feng Shixing found out that Qi Fang had violated the law and discipline, he would try every means to cooperate with Shao Hongyuan to seize his military power, take him down, punish him, and then hand over the military power to Shao Hongyuan, so that he could do his best to quell the rebellion.

Feng Shixing came to Jizhou with a halo. Before he could reach the military camp, he secretly met Shao Hongyuan who was rushing to the scene and had a conversation with him.

Shao Hongyuan told Feng Shixing the general situation here, and excused himself for his defeat. He also gave Qi Fang a gaze, saying that the reason why he was defeated was purely because Qi Fang was interfering with it, otherwise he would not have been defeated.

"Qi Fang is indeed so bold?"

After Feng Shixing learned the specific situation, he stroked his beard and looked at Shao Hongyuan suspiciously: "As a general of the court, he had an affair with the thief and had a deal with the thief. This is a death sentence that can be lost. He dares to do it too? Isn't this a little too bold?"

Shao Hongyuan shook his head.

"If you don't think so, I really can't understand why the thief is not inferior to my army in terms of weapons and equipment! That's a thief. Our army is a garrison. How could it be even worse than the thief army in terms of equipment? This is absolutely impossible!

Not to mention this poor and bad water land, the locals say that this land is not three feet wide, so how much food can it be harvested? Therefore, tens of thousands of unruly people ran into Luoxiao Mountain with the thief army. Why should we survive?"

Feng Shixing frowned.

"General Shao, what do you mean is that Qi Fang sells grain to the thief army, so that the thief army can survive in a poor mountain and water place?"

"Only this explanation, even if it is not Qi Fang, there must be people related to Qi Fang doing such a thing. Otherwise, this poor and bad land would not be able to support those unruly traitors.

Moreover, all the mediocre people who are not strict in the military will basically have similar things happening in the army. They don’t care about the situation of the army at all. As long as they live comfortably, it’s good. It’s common for people below to sell armies to the thief army to steal the army."

Shao Hongyuan's explanation is somewhat convincing.

Feng Shixing gradually believed Shao Hongyuan's statement.

"Since that's the case, General Shao, you have to cooperate with me and wait for me to find out the truth. If it is indeed related to Qi Fang, I still need your best help."

Shao Hongyuan heard the implication of Feng Shixing's words.

"Is this what the pivot phase means?"

"yes."

"I understand, the last general will definitely help you!"

"good!"

Feng Shixing nodded, stroked his beard, looking like he was holding it with a wise plan.

But after a while, he suddenly started to cough violently, making Shao Hongyuan confused.

"Feng Jianjun, you..."

"It's okay to cough cough cough cough cough... it's okay to worry, it's okay to worry..."

After gasping for a while, Feng Shixing recovered and whispered: "It's an old problem, it's not a problem. Official affairs are important, and official affairs are important..."

Then, Feng Shixing coughed again. After a while, he poured several bowls of hot water before he could barely calm down.

After secretly meeting Shao Hongyuan, Feng Shixing went to the Jizhou Army garrison camp to meet Qi Fang.

After Qi Fang saw Shao Hongyuan, he caught him and complained, increasing his difficulties many times, and described Shao Hongyuan as a person who relied on Zhang Jun's power to act recklessly and disobey orders, resulting in the loss of troops and generals.

"He advanced randomly and refused to obey orders, which resulted in the loss of troops and generals and his morale was greatly reduced. I really don't know how to control such a general. Please make a decision by the military supervisor."

Of course, Qi Fang would say something that was beneficial to him, and Shao Hongyuan had already told Feng Shixing in advance, so Feng Shixing did not take it seriously, just saying that he would deal with it impartially, but at present, he needed to eliminate the rebels.

"Your Majesty can no longer tolerate the rebels in Jizhou. He asked the Privy Council to end the war as soon as possible and continue to drag it on. No one can escape. Your and my official positions are very dangerous. General Qi, you should understand the interests here."

Of course Qi Fang understood that he was not stupid either. In the future, the matter was simply not over and he was held accountable.

He knew early in the morning that Zhang Jun was not satisfied with him and even wanted to depose him, so how could he trust Zhang Jun and the people he sent?

In fact, when Qi Fang sent someone to Lin'an to deliver the letter, another team sent to Lin'an from different routes to secretly meet the popular eunuchs beside the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou, and opened up the eunuchs' network of relationships and successfully established a relationship with the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou.

Thinking that Zhang Jun and the current emperor Zhao Xing were birds of a feather, Qi Fang was very desperate about his future because he and Yang Cunzhong had old age. When the two of them communicated, the deputy general told Qi Fang about his current embarrassing situation with Yang Cunzhong.

Only then did Qi Fang realize that the reason why Zhao Gou hid in another place and was unwilling to return to Lin'an was not only because he was afraid of the Ming army, but also because his direct troops were all wiped out by the Ming army. Zhao Ling took advantage of the opportunity of war to control the regime and military power and seized the foundation of Zhao Gou's rule.

Therefore, Zhao Gou felt unsafe and was worried that Zhao Xing would not be good for him, so he refused to return to Lin'an. It was not until Zhao Gou replaced Yang Cunzhong and the 40,000 Imperial Camp troops to Zhao Gou as his security guarantee that Zhao Gou returned to Lin'an with confidence.

This is the current situation, but the deputy general was very worried about their future and thought that Zhao Xing was in progress and Zhao Gou was in the past. Zhao Gou was old and once he passed away, they would definitely be cleansed by Zhao Ling.

So he was very anxious.

Through this news, Qi Fang learned about the subtle relationship between Zhao Gou and Zhao Xing, and thus discovered his own vitality.

If Zhao Xing trusts Zhang Jun, it is inevitable that he will not trust someone like him. What they want is the Northern Expedition, but he just wants to live a stable life.

I will definitely not be able to compete with Zhang Jun and Shao Hongyuan, but if I can get along with the relationship between the Supreme Emperor, things may turn around.

With such an idea, Qi Fang decided to embark on the road of Shura and entrust his life to Zhao Gou. No matter when Zhao Gou dies, as long as he can hold on for a few more years, he will have a few more years of good life.

Anyway, he is not young anymore, so he may not be able to live a few more years. If he dies before Zhao Gou dies, then he can be considered a good end.

Take your luck.

With such determination, Qi Fang is not worried about the people sent by Zhang Jun.
