Chapter 1347: Insight

The entire Fujian Observation made all the subordinates messed up.

In order to cooperate with Xiang Zhen's decisive battle this time, the Rong family implemented a similar policy in Fujian as Lingnan after losing.

That is to get as much money and supplies as possible. Compared with Lingnan, Fujian was originally poorer, so the Rong family's sweep was not spared.

This exploitation, which was three feet away without any room for slashing the ground, finally aroused great resistance within the territory.

It should be noted that every big family here is basically a clan, and a group of sea merchants like Zheng Yu were fueling the fire. In a very short time, the entire Fujian Observation made the fire of rebellion spread like a prairie fire under the rule.

The Rong family seemed to be prepared for this. The army frequently came out and killed blood. In a moment, countless clans in Fujian were uprooted, and the family wealth accumulated by hundreds of years was reduced to others in a blink of an eye.

However, as those loose rebellions were suppressed, several forces emerged from suspicion, including the Wang family in Zhenzhou, the Zheng family in Quanzhou, the Zhou family in Tingzhou, and the Han family in Fuzhou. These people were originally from the sea merchants in Fujian, with extremely strong financial resources and family private soldiers. In this resistance operation, they were more organized, planned, clear goals, and there was a faint momentum of mutual cooperation in the actions.

When the Rong army was scattered in the territory and suppressed the plunder, the four teams had clear goals and headed straight for Fuzhou. Judging from their intentions, they actually wanted to directly dig Rong's nest in Fuzhou.

Along the way, they defeated several soldiers who intercepted them, and headed straight to Fuzhou unstoppable, and finally forced the elite Rong troops who were concentrating towards Jiangxi to turn around and return. They were ready to kill all the guys who set fire in the backyard before talking.

For Rong Hong, there is no way to do this.

Regarding this decisive battle in Hengyang, Jiangxi, in Rong Hong's opinion, the hope of winning is really slim, just taking the chance of winning. Xiang Zhen's retreat to Xiang Annan and other places and attempting to join Liu Xinda's troops to build an anti-Li Ze alliance together is a more feasible plan.

But to go to those places, you must have sufficient financial and military strength.

This time, it was not only a matter of competing for territory with the locals, but also a matter of fighting for dominance with Liu Xinda. In Rong Hong's view, all of those places were barbaric lands. If you want to develop them, how can you do without a lot of investment?

The only core families, subordinates, and others who are absolutely loyal to him are willing to leave their hometowns? So this is why Rong Hong started a massacre in his hometown and did not care about the consequences.

If this battle in Jiangxi is won, everything will be easy to say.

If you lose, you will run away with these wealth.

As long as you can get out of it, there will be blood and fire above other places.

But now the rebels' goals and intentions are too clear, so they want to intercept him and transport these goods away. The last batch of troops left in Fuzhou are the real core force of the family, Rong Hong doesn't want them to suffer any losses.

So no matter how Xiang Zhen was trying to destroy it, he decided to turn around and destroy these rebellions first.

In the Battle of Jiangxi, how many days and days are there to fight? What's the difference?

Anyway, the hope for victory is just a little bit.

The army returned, which was naturally very different from those miscellaneous troops that were looting everywhere. As soon as they came into contact, the rebel army of several maritime merchants led by Zheng Yu lost one after another. Finally, the four troops merged into one and slowly retreated to the Quanzhou area. However, Rong Hong was also unyielding and led his army to advance.

At the same time, the core family troops led by Rong Hong's son escorted countless goods and goods, heading towards Rongguan.

Five thousand well-equipped troops, led tens of thousands of families and convoys of cars and mules and horses, walked slowly.

Rong Hong planned to wait until the team entered Lingnan before turning back to the battlefield in Jiangxi. At that time, these rebels would go and play whatever they wanted.

At this time, the rebels were calm and kept at the right distance from Rong Hong's army and retreated to Quanzhou without any haste. Rong Hong stopped, and they stopped, Rong Hong advanced, and they left. Once Rong Hong had the intention of withdrawing troops, they would stick up without hesitation.

After a period of entanglement, Rong Hong completely understood that these rebel teams might have been linked with the Northern Tang people. Their purpose was probably to involve themselves and prevent them from reaching Jiangxi smoothly to integrate with other armies.

But the more this happens, Rong Hong dares to retreat more easily.

It is easier to wipe out these people first.

Never forget that the Northern Tang navy was the one who gave up Fujian completely and let these rebels control the situation. The Northern Tang navy successfully landed on the coast of Fujian, which would definitely be a disaster.

Fujian is full of fire, but Gao Xiangsheng is still in the small fishing village where he is hiding, eating seafood every day.

"Vice Chairman, this is the information from Lingnan I just received." A man in black sent a small bamboo tube to Gao Xiangsheng's hand.

This was sent by Xie Kun.

Open it and browse it quickly, Gao Xiangsheng was a little surprised. The little emperor was about to come out and jump again? With this question, he looked carefully again, then stuffed the bamboo tube and the information into the fire, frowned and pondered.

After a while, he called in a man in black.

"You told me a few days ago that Rong's family is moving all the way to Lingnan with a large amount of wealth?"

"Yes, there are also a large number of family members." The man in black nodded.

Gao Xiangsheng thought for a moment, but suddenly smiled on his face: "I understand, this is going to run away! It turns out that they have no confidence in the decisive battle in Jiangxi. Haha, where to run? Once the decisive battle fails, whether it is Fujian or Lingnan, it will be the treasures of our Tang Dynasty. Where can they escape, there are only a few places."

After walking around the room for several circles, he suddenly stopped and looked at the man in black and said, "There is an urgent task that requires you to travel far."

"Please give instructions from the Vice Chairman!"

"Go to Annan." Gao Xiangsheng said.

"Ah?" The man in black was shocked.

"Go to Annan!" Gao Xiangsheng emphasized: "Go to find Tengjian and tell him about these situations."

"The vice chairman means that these guys from the Confederate League are probably going to run towards Annan?" the man in black asked with wide eyes.

"It's not possible, but certain." Gao Xiangsheng breathed heavily: "I even suspect that the decisive battle in Jiangxi that Xiang Zhen created is itself a cover for this great escape."

The man in black was a little puzzled, "Since you want to run away, why not take these troops to run? Isn't this more confident? When you get there, can you gain a foothold without strong force?"

Gao Xiangsheng smiled and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. First, how many of these people are willing to follow them to leave their hometowns and go to foreign lands? There may not be many, right? If this news comes out, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be disintegrated immediately and the entire Southern Alliance will collapse completely. Second, so many people are engaged in such a long-distance battle, how to ensure that the logistics supply? How to ensure that these troops do not cause chaos in the middle? These are all uncontrollable. Instead of doing this, it is better to give up your soldiers and protect your car and survive. Use a decisive battle to unite people and boost morale, but privately, in the name of the little emperor's patrol, flee towards Annan."

"So, in fact, our army doesn't have to spend much effort on the decisive battle in Jiangxi!" said the man in black happily.

"You can't say that." Gao Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "Xiang Zhen will definitely fight this battle seriously. What if he wins if the pie is dropped in one day? Wouldn't he have more time to arrange the next things? Even if he can't win, he will work hard to support Jiangxi for more time so that their core can retreat a little deeper. You must know that migration on this scale is not about just walking, nor is it about walking as fast as you want."

"I understand. When I see Teng Jian, I need to tell him what to do?" asked the man in black.

"It's too far away, I won't give specific opinions. But there is one thing, if these people really reach the Annan territory, I don't want to see the little emperor still alive!" Gao Xiangsheng sighed and said, "If he is still alive, these people who have escaped to Annan will have a flag to unite. Even if it's some remnants of defeated soldiers, it's enough to cause some trouble for our future. If he dies, these forces will inevitably fall apart and attack each other continuously. Then it will be much easier for us to pack up at that time."

The man in black smiled and said, "Teng Jian has now controlled the entire Lang San Mansion. If these people really want to escape to Annan, they must pass by his territory. I think he has a way to make trouble. Vice Chairman, I will set off now and rush to Lang San to meet Teng Jian."

"Be careful along the way, but don't let them catch you as a coolie." Gao Xiangsheng patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

The man in black laughed: "If they had this ability, I would rather be a coolie for them."

As he watched the man in black whip away, Gao Xiangsheng's face dimmed.

"Your Majesty, don't blame me for being cruel. If the prince is still alive, more people in this world will suffer more. Li Ze is right. This world should be the world of all people. This world should live a peaceful life."
