Jiangnan has always been on good terms with Anyun, and no one would have thought that Xianguzhong would suddenly declare war on Jiangnan.
The iron-blooded army pressed on the border, and the entire Jiangnan was in panic.
But in the crisis, the entire Jiangnan did not unite as one.
Instead, various contradictions broke out at this critical moment.
The scholars in Jiangnan were in a panic and did not think about how to make suggestions for Fan Juyi to repel the attack of the Iron-Blooded Army.
Instead, they took advantage of this crisis to attack political opponents, accusing Fan Guyi of having a spy around him, and wanted Fan Guyi to kill several important ministers around him, and Gu Xiangli naturally became the number one "judge".
In their eyes, it seemed that as long as they were given the upper hand, all the crises in Jiangnan would be resolved.
Several wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River pointed the finger at Fan Guyi, saying that it was because Fan Guyi's reforms had touched the laws of his ancestors that he had provoked the anger of heaven and earth.
They asked Fan Juyi to restore Jiangnan to what it was like during the dynasty and hand all power into their hands.
Fan Juyi clearly understood that if they were allowed to continue causing trouble like this, it would be absolutely difficult for the entire Jiangnan to resist the Iron-Blooded Army's attack.
So when the army from the south of the Yangtze River was mobilized towards the front line of the river, Fan Guyi summoned all his confidants, intending to suppress all opposition.
"You all know the current crisis, so I won't say more.
The Iron-Blooded Army came over, but we in Jiangnan, who should be the mainstay, are all noisy and shirking responsibility.
What's more, many people They secretly communicated with the top management of the Iron Blood Army and planned to betray the entire Jiangnan.
We must not ignore these situations.
It is time to take care of them," Fan Guyi said.
Fan Guyi's close confidants were also filled with indignation after hearing Fan Guyi's words.
Their governor has always been kind and kind, but now he has attracted attacks from all the young people.
They all expressed their willingness to support Fan Juyi and wipe out those traitors.
"I don't plan to spare them this time.
Normally, it's okay for them to make trouble, but at this time, they only want to fight for power and gain, and even collude with the enemy for power, intending to sell the entire Jiangnan.
This is absolutely Intolerable.
I used to think that as long as there was coordination.
By taking good care of the interests of all parties, we can realize the wish of equalizing the world in peace.
Now it seems that it is not possible to have only one word.
I have to learn to use another word to kill."
Fan Juyi looked around and said.
The gentle words revealed unusual determination.
Fan Juyi's confidants were all excited when they heard Fan Juyi's words.
They understood that Fan Juyi was going to be tough this time.
"Brother Juyi, I think about how majestic you were when you started from the barren land of the south and led hundreds of local warriors to wipe out the thieves in the south.
In those years, when the heroes in Jiangnan heard your name, no one gave a thumbs up. .
Later, Du Feng was expelled and Lu Boding was killed, and only then did he become what he is today.
Good situation.
But since Brother Guyi became the governor of Jiangnan, he has become more and more merciful, especially after Wei Zeng's defeat eight years ago and the peace talks turned into a shadow.
Now, Brother Guyi has not even talked about killing.
We are all very happy that Brother Juyi can regain his strength," Fu Zuci said excitedly.
"Is that so?
Maybe I'm old and don't want to have too many fights.
Maybe I've seen too much right and wrong and don't want to watch people die one after another.
But since everything is unavoidable, I won't No more hiding.
With your support, no matter what dangers I may encounter in the future, I will be able to survive.
They will go all out.
Back then, I was able to pacify the entire Jiangnan with just a few hundred people.
Now I have an army of hundreds of thousands.

How can I still be afraid of the failure of the Iron-Blooded Army?"
Fan Guyi said with a moving look in his eyes. , a burst of lofty ideals jumped out, infecting everyone present.
"We obey everything the Governor-General says.
No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, we will do whatever it takes."
Everyone replied in unison.
"You are so loyal, how can I let you take risks?
It just requires some actions.
Everyone listen, if you want to keep Jiangnan, the army cannot be in chaos.
If you want to keep the army in chaos, you must ensure continuous wealth.
Those scholars I can forgive them for shouting anything else, but as long as they dare to interfere with military power, they will be killed.
"As for the local wealthy families, they want to use this opportunity to make me give up the tax reform.
But I want to take this opportunity to implement the tax reform to the end.
Those who resist taxes will be severely punished, and those who collaborate with the enemy will die.
You don't have to show any mercy. , I will take care of you if anything happens," Fan Juyi said.
"It's great that Brother Juyi can do this.
The army is the backbone, and taxes are the blood.
The backbone is solid and the blood is smooth.
Even if a few pieces are cut off, it will only hurt for a while.
Take this opportunity to let Jiangnan's wealthy families see it.
Given Brother Juyi's courage, they will have to think carefully if they want to cause trouble in the future."
Fu Zuci agreed.
"Gu Xiangli has led his army to Jingxiang, and I will return to Fuwu City soon.
I will leave the affairs of Jiangnan to you.
As long as we can work together, this danger is nothing."
Fan Juyi Finally said.
When the important ministers in Jiangnan heard Fan Kuyi's words, everyone expressed their loyalty and swore an oath: They would live and die with Jiangnan.
After some important matters were discussed, Fan Guyi's confidants all hurried back to their respective posts.
The situation in Jiangnan is not optimistic, so naturally he cannot be lazy.
After everyone left, Fu Zuci took out the thick roster and said to Fan Guyi: "Since Brother Guyi plans to be tough, I think the person who caused trouble in Southeast Shilin this time should also be Well punished."
"This matter involves a lot.
Now is not the time to settle old scores.
If it makes everyone feel in danger, it will only make the situation worse.
Therefore, this time the trouble can only be let go.
But on this roster You have to keep a close eye on those people , once the collaboration with the enemy and treason is confirmed, as long as the evidence is solid, he can be killed directly."
After Fan Juyi said that, he took the list and put it in the innermost drawer of the desk, indicating that Fu Zuci could be sued.
A paragraph is over.
Fu Zuci understood and said nothing more.
Fu Zuci then followed Fan Kuyi's instructions and continued to patrol the south of the Yangtze River to eliminate all unstable factors.
Autumn is high and the sky is deep.
The north has gradually become colder, but the river is still green.
After several months of offensive, Bai Zhengheng's main force has attacked Jiliu Mountain in the middle of the river.
As long as Xiangfan City on the edge of the river is captured, Fuwu City, the capital of Jiangnan, will be completely exposed to the front of the Iron Blood Army.
Bai Zhengheng came with the determination to win, and he used all his strength to attack Xiangfan City this time without slacking off at all.
Shen Deqing was also constantly monitoring the development of the situation and making suggestions for Bai Zhengheng, just to win this key battle.
However, Fan Kuyi also gathered a large number of troops to defend Xiangfan City.

There was also the Jiangnan Navy, which responded from above the river, greatly hindering the Iron Blood Army's attack.
Wu Deli attacked the southeast from Xuhuai.
He tried to break through the river defense line several times, but was blocked by the navy in the south of the Yangtze River.
The navy in the south of the Yangtze River is powerful, and the old Qin soldiers led by Wu Deli are extremely powerful, but they are helpless in the face of the turbulent river water.
As a last resort, Wu Deli gave up his plan to storm the southeast and sent out agents to contact the Shilin people who were dissatisfied with Fan Guyi and several wealthy families in Jiangnan.
Sure enough, Wu Deli received a response not long after.
The Zhu family in Minzhong had decided to join the Iron-Blooded Army, as long as Wu Deli could protect their Zhu family's existing interests from infringement.
Udli was very excited after receiving the news.
He knew that the Zhu family had great influence in Jiangnan.
Many of the Zhu family's children were serving as officials in Jiangnan.
With the Zhu family as internal agents, it would be much more convenient for Wu Deli to attack the southeast.
On a dark and stormy night, Wu Deli ordered 10,000 old Qin soldiers to be divided into several teams.
According to the news from the Zhu family, they lurked towards several weakly defended areas of the Jiangnan Navy.
As long as he can break through the natural dangers of the river, Wu Deli is confident that he can completely defeat the defenders in the southeast in one fell swoop.
The water in the river is very gentle in autumn, and everything is quiet on the several miles wide river.
But in the darkness, thousands of old Qin soldiers rowed boats towards the other side of the river.
Only a faint fire in the distance guided their way forward.
"There is news from the Zhu family.
In order to resist General Bai's attack, Fan Kuyi has sent the Jiangnan navy to the middle of the river.
In the camp in front, there are only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people left.
Remember, wait.
Attack the shore in a moment and kill them all immediately.
If we want to move randomly, we have to rely on the defense of the camp to support General Wu's main force across the river.
Everyone is silent.
Anyone who leaks our whereabouts will be dealt with according to military law."
March to the center of the river.
The leading officer whispered instructions.
Everyone whispered to each other, and the orders were passed on.
In the dark river, except for the faint sound of water flow, it became completely silent.
When the ship docked, the Jiangnan people's camp was right in front of them.
Thousands of old Qin soldiers got off the boat and quietly walked towards the camp.
But just when the leading officer issued the order to attack, the lights suddenly turned on in the camp, and a hail of arrows shot down from the wall of the camp.
"No, there is an ambush.
Everyone, retreat quickly.
The Zhu family's people deceived us."
The leading officer found out that he was ambushed and immediately gave the order to retreat.
But it was too late.
Just as the ambush troops in the camp were attacking, a fleet suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the river, cutting off the retreat of these thousands of people.
"You still want to rely on the Zhu family, haha.
They have already been killed by the governor.
Without the governor's permission, it is ridiculous that you think Wu Deli can receive a letter."
Seeing that the victory was guaranteed, the Jiangnan people spoke up. scoffed.
The thousands of Lao Qin people who made a sneak attack were ambushed.
After a hard fight, the fate of the entire army was inevitably annihilated.
After Udli received the news that the sneak attack had failed, he immediately sent an army to respond.

However, the Jiangnan Navy has long been on the river and has prepared adequate defenses.
Udli could only grit his teeth and swallow this loss into his stomach.
After Bai Zhengheng received the news that Wu Deli's attack had failed, he asked him to join his main force so that he could attack Xiangfan City with all his strength and eliminate the enemies in Jiangbei along the way.
Although it is late autumn and the precipitation has decreased, the momentum of the river is still unabated due to the large drop near Jiliu Mountain in the middle of the river.
Bai Zhengzheng personally led an army of 150,000 people and displayed it in front of Xiangfan City.
The infantry formation is very strict, and the various formations cooperate with each other in an orderly manner.
This shows how much effort Bai Zhengzheng spent in training this unit.
The cavalry formation was majestic and majestic.
Under the sunlight, the solid armor glowed with black light.
As they marched, the sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder.
At first glance, one can see how terrifying it is.
This is the Anyun Iron Cavalry.
"Is General Bai really planning to attack Xiangfan City?
The city is very dangerous, and the defenders in the city are well equipped.
We might as well wait for General Wu's troops to arrive before launching a general attack."
Shen Deqing said.
"You don't understand.
When fighting a war, the most taboo thing is to wait.
Once you wait, morale will be gone.
Without morale, why fight?
Since we attacked Jiangnan, we have had smooth sailing, and we have been unstoppable along the way.
Look at the soldiers. , how high is Jiang’s morale now?
The enemy forces in the north have been almost wiped out, and it's time to launch a general attack.
We now have 150,000 people, and this is 150,000.
If 150,000 people cannot attack this city, General Wu will come. , we will not succeed," Bai Zhengran said.
"Just listen to General Bai.
We are well prepared this time and can fight.
But General Bai must control the speed of the attack.
We can afford to suffer some losses, but if the losses are too big, for the Lord It is detrimental to our great cause," Shen Deqing said.
"I understand this point, and I will not make fun of the young master's future."
Bai Zhengfa said.
So Bai Zhengheng gave an order, and Anyun's Iron Blood Army attacked in the direction of Xiangfan City.
Xiangfan City is divided into two cities, the north and the south, separated by a river.
There is only a water village connecting the two cities, and there is only a pontoon bridge in the water village to connect the north and south cities.
Nancheng is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side, and the terrain is very dangerous.
Bai Zhengrong was also a veteran on the battlefield and did not directly attack the city.
Instead, he ordered the Iron Blood Army to be divided into three parts.
One part carried siege equipment and mainly attacked the north city of Xiangfan City; the second part blocked the downstream of Xiangfan City to prevent the arrival of reinforcements from Fuwu City; the third part cooperated with Anyun Iron Cavalry to guard against the enemy in Xiangfan City.
The army left the city to counterattack.
There were sufficient troops in Xiangfan City, and they did not choose to defend at first.
When the Iron-Blooded Army launched an attack, they also went out of the city to counterattack, but they were all defeated by Anyun's Iron Cavalry.
Then the people in Xiangfan City adopted a defensive strategy and waited for the arrival of reinforcements from the direction of Fuwu City.
However, Bai Zhengheng had made sufficient preparations, and the reinforcements from Fuwucheng had not been able to break through the Jagged Army's defense.
Then Shen Deqing came up with a plan, sinking wood like water, and dropped a huge tree from the upper reaches of Xiangfan City.
The giant tree took advantage of the water force to break through the water stronghold connecting the northern and southern cities in one fell swoop.

The pontoon bridge was damaged and completely unusable, completely isolating the northern city.
Finally, under the strong attack of the Iron-blooded Army, the north city of Xiangfan City finally fell into the hands of the Iron-blooded Army.
The capture of the southern part of Xiangfan City has become something that can only be expected soon
