Before, when Shao Hongyuan was defeated for the second time, he felt something was wrong.

The rebels can be strong, but not so strong, and even their equipment can compete with the Song army. He absolutely does not believe that there are no people in the army who do bad things.

There must be something wrong with the logistics, and the problem is still quite large.

So he secretly sent someone to investigate and actually caught him evidence of the quarrestrial officials making a deal with the peasant army.

So he secretly dealt with all the military officers, replaced them with a group of new people, and asked them to make fake accounts based on the current warehouse situation to get away with it, so that the imperial envoys could find out anything.

Finally, the new people suggested that the military camp should take the initiative to catch fire once, and it is best for everyone to burn several warehouses, otherwise the account would not be filled. As long as there are professionals to check, they will definitely see the clues.

Qi Fang had no choice but to order the fire in the warehouse to be secretly operated. In order to increase credibility, the killed quartermasters were thrown into the fire, and they were burned to bones without causing the fire to die.

As for whether something will be found in the future, Qi Fang didn't know, so he could only say that he would leave everything to fate. Qi Fang did everything he could do. If he could find anything else, he would be powerless.

However, what Qi Fang did not expect was that what made him unlucky was not the business with the peasant army, but the local officials in Jizhou who had originally swallowed their anger.

Feng Shixing was in trouble when he checked the accounts. Although he was full of doubts about the fire, there was no reliable evidence to show that the fire was led by Qi Fang, so he could only grit his teeth and check the accounts.

When he was confused about the investigation, the local officials in Jizhou were bullied by the soldiers, so they risked their lives to come to Feng Shixing to complain, telling the story of Qi Fang's troops doing all kinds of evil things in the local area.

Good guy, Feng Shixing was worried that he could not find the exact evidence to take Qi Fang down, which was an unexpected surprise.

So he sent someone to investigate and go to Jizhou to investigate the illegal affairs of Qi Fang's army. The result confirmed the statements of local officials. They were all bullied by the soldiers of Qi Fang's army and the people were bullied.

All those who can be robbed were robbed, and most of the things that cannot be robbed were destroyed. The land was ravaged, the people were forcibly robbed by the army to do chores, and local production was severely damaged. There was no way to recover the vitality of several prefectures in the south of Jiangnan West Road for three to five years.

This is extremely serious malfeasance.

When Feng Shixing learned about it, he was furious and angrily scolded Qi Fang on the spot, wanting to arrest Qi Fang and send him back to Lin'an to question him. The people around Qi Fang wanted to resist, but were suppressed by Shao Hongyuan, who was prepared, and were disarmed, and successfully became a prisoner.

Although he failed to take Qi Fang off for the crime of collusion with the enemy or even killed him on the spot, being able to take him off with the crime of dereliction of duty and send him back to Lin'an to question him was already a great victory, enough to report to Zhang Jun.

When the army learned the news, Qi Fang had been taken down and could no longer order the army.

Faced with the uneasiness of the army, Feng Shixing also announced at the right time that this incident only accused Qi Fang and his important senior confidants, and did not involve other middle- and low-level officers or ordinary soldiers.

Everything is as usual.

So the army was calmer.

After all, except for some senior officers who are really close to each other, most of the big-headed soldiers also thought Qi Fang was a bastard from the bottom of their hearts. They had also been bullied by Qi Fang and did not think he was a good person.

We follow whoever is the general. There is nothing to do with anyone. We are just joining the army. It doesn’t matter who is the general.

The excellent military traditions of the Song army helped Feng Shixing.

Feng Shixing relied on Shao Hongyuan's support to gain military power. In order to avoid the long and long dreams, he wanted to escort Qi Fang back to the capital to question him.

However, what surprised the two of them was a little surprised. Although Qi Fang was captured, his expression on his face was very calm, and there was a hint of mockery.

"Do you two really think this is the end? Hahaha, don't worry, maybe we will meet again, and the thief army in the mountains is not simple, so be careful."

Qi Fang's inexplicable attitude made Feng Shixing and Shao Hongyuan feel a little bad, but the two did not think that Qi Fang, who had been removed from military power, could do anything else.

Next, Feng Shixing supported Shao Hongyuan to control the military power, lead the siege of the army, rectify the siege of the army, restrain military discipline, and then prepare to launch the third encirclement and suppression of Luoxiaoshan.

News of a mutiny within the Song army soon spread to the Song army camp. Several local peasant soldiers lurked into the Song army in the name of doing odd jobs. After hearing this news, they quickly passed it back to the Luoxiao Mountain.

So Zhao Yucheng and others also learned about the news that Qi Fang was taken down and Shao Hongyuan took over.

This is not good news.

Zhao Yuzhen informed the news to the heads of each brigade and squadron, so that they could prepare for the third encirclement of the Song army.

The people sent to the Song army camp soon sent back another message, saying that the Song army began to rectify the entire army, which was a precursor to a large-scale attack on Luoxiao Mountain.

People sent to work in various villages also sent news that the Song army began to gather its troops, and the Song soldiers stationed in the villages were all cursing and returned to the military camp.

Zhao Yucheng was even more nervous. He realized that this might be an unprecedented super-large battle, which could kill many people and cause many soldiers to die.

But there is no way, he must persevere.

He was waiting nervously.

However, things did not continue as he expected, because it was very abrupt that the funeral was held in the Song army camp and the white banners were erected.

Zhao Yucheng thought it was Shao Hongyuan who died, but it was not. Shao Hongyuan was in good health, and the person who died was Feng Shixing.

Feng Shixing is in poor health and is on the road while sick and worried, and is always in a state of tension.

When he finally took Qi Fang and comforted the army, he felt relieved and had some signs of recurrence. In addition, he accidentally got wet in the rain and did not change his clothes in time. A gust of wind blew, and he fell ill completely.

The anxious Shao Hongyuan quickly tried to find a doctor to treat him. The doctor came one after another, prescribed one prescription after another, and boiled one bowl after another, but his condition did not improve.

Feng Shixing became weaker and weaker day by day.

While rectifying the army, Shao Hongyuan was preparing to encircle and suppress the peasant army, he also wanted to seek medical treatment for Feng Shixing. He was so anxious that he got angry, but in the end he could not save Feng Shixing's life.

On May 23, Feng Shixing, who had a high fever, was critically ill.

On May 24, Feng Shixing died of illness in the military camp in Jizhou.

Shao Hongyuan was completely stunned.

The person Zhang Jun sent to him to help him die of illness and died of illness in the military camp. This...

What's this matter?

Shao Hongyuan secretly called unlucky, so he could only hold a funeral for Feng Shixing while sending someone to return to Lin'an to report the news and ask how to deal with this matter.

As for the war to encircle and suppress the peasant army, the matter can only be slightly delayed.

The main reason was that the old subordinate of Qi Fang was Feng Shixing who came forward to appease him. He represented the central court as the imperial supervisor. The soldiers trusted him more, rather than Shao Hongyuan himself. With him, Qi Fang's old subordinates did not have any turmoil, but continued to wait and see the situation.

Now that Feng Shixing is dead, I am afraid that someone in the army will have strange ideas again.

The war cannot start now. It is difficult to achieve good results when the internal unstable situation is started.

Let’s send people to the mountains to explore the way first. In the specific situation, it’s better to despise the Privy Council and let the Privy Council send another reliable military supervisor to stabilize the morale of the army.

Shao Hongyuan pressed the pause button, but Zhao Yucheng did not.

Realizing that the Song army leadership had just died and the morale of the army was unstable, Zhao Yucheng felt that this was a great opportunity and could not be wasted so much, and he was waiting for Shao Hongyuan to fight.

The peasant army is indeed relatively weak, but not that weak.

Perhaps taking the initiative is a good idea.

Since going up the mountain, they have been passively defending and have never taken the initiative. These Song soldiers may not have any sense of defense at all.

However, there are so many Song soldiers, and the number of them is several times higher than that of them. If they attack rashly, they will probably not be able to even protect their family's foundation.

Night attack?

A general like Shao Hongyuan will definitely not be prepared for the night attack.

If you can’t play the Song army simply by playing military, then what should you do to survive?
