Standing at the top of the city, watching Zhang Shuye and Xuan Cangyong be "escorted" to Lin'an by 500 soldiers. Song Jiang, Lin Chong and others showed some strange expressions on their faces. They actually sent the person so easily, and solved this seemingly difficult problem?

They thought they would use some tough or clever methods in the last fight. As a result, the people made such a fuss, arrested people, and Sun Tu had a conversation with them. These two nominally, the commander and military supervisor sent by the court gave in, and left.

Seeing the doubts in their hearts, Sun Tu smiled: "Things are actually very simple. After all, they also have concerns. As long as I explain them clearly, with the wisdom of these two people, they will naturally make the least bad choice."

"But general, aren't you afraid that someone will be held accountable and blamed after this incident is reported back to the capital?" After hesitating, Song Jiang asked with concern.

"That's going to happen a few months later. At that time, as long as we quell the Jiangnan Rebellion and make great achievements, who can pursue such a small matter?" Sun Tu said, with a somber face: "It's spring, and it's time to make the final decision. How about it, has the information on the other side been sorted out?"

Although Sun Tu has not continued to use troops in the past few months, this does not mean that he really does not care about the remnants of Fang La's army in Wuzhou. On the contrary, in the past few months, the Song army has sent no less than two or three hundred scouts and spies just to find out the other party's background and defense strategy.

Seeing Sun Tu ask, Dong Ping immediately interfered: "A lot of information has been sent back. In fact, in terms of military morale, the anti-army has fallen to the bottom. Without the generals like Pang Wanchun and Fang Shifo, and losing Hangzhou, they have already felt timid in fighting. However, because Fang La is still there and Fang Fei mediates from it, it is still peaceful for the time being. In addition, they have left all the main elites on Wulong Ridge, probably because they want to rely on the dangerous geographical barriers there to block our army's attack. However, there are few defenders in Wuzhou. If they can break the Wulong Ridge pass, Wuzhou can be put in every possible time."

Sun Tu nodded: "What about the specific deployment of troops?"

"Because of the geographical conditions of Wulongling, there are only 30,000 soldiers, but they are all elite soldiers in the army. Although there are 100,000 in Wuzhou, most of them are mobs, and the city is not particularly tall and sturdy, so it is not difficult to break it."

"In other words, for us, the last pass is this Wulong Ridge?" Sun Tu narrowed his eyes.

"But it is indeed a rare and dangerous place in Jiangnan. It is really easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although it is only 30,000 people, it is enough to block the attack of hundreds of thousands of people by relying on the terrain." Yang Zhi also said. They have been studying the situation of Wulongling recently, but they are already well aware of the mountains and terrain there. The more they understand, the more they are in their hearts.

"According to this, it is indeed difficult to attack Wulong Ridge. Is there a way to take a detour?" Sun Tu asked again. But he shook his head when he responded: "Except for the Wulong Ridge Pass, there are some paths that are accessible, but it is impossible to send tens of thousands of troops into it without being noticed. Also, Wuzhou is the place where Fang La raised an army, and the local people have become their eyes and ears. It is completely unworkable to take a detour without knowing it."

"It is even more difficult to attack with a strong force. The terrain there is not conducive to the deployment of the army, and even ordinary siege weapons are difficult to transport in. Therefore, it is indeed much more difficult to break this level than to capture Hangzhou."

After saying this, the generals who were still a little happy suddenly cast a layer of worry on their faces, because everyone knew that there was really not much time left for them. They must break through Wulong Ridge as soon as possible, and it is best to do it before summer begins.

This is not only because of the pressure from the court, but also because once it reaches summer, the situation there will be more complicated. Although it is not in the southwest and other places, there are also poisonous miasma in that area, especially in summer, when poisonous miasma is together, there is a natural barrier there, which can prevent the invasion of the official army.

Just thinking of this made everyone feel a headache, and some even muttered in a low voice: "It seems that unless we can fly over the ridge with ribs and wings, it is impossible to easily break this barrier."

Hearing this, Sun Tu's eyes lit up and suddenly smiled unpredictably: "It's not time to be truly desperate. Since we have been waiting for these days, we might as well wait a little longer and prepare some things so that we can break this level at the lowest cost!"

"Ah..." This time everyone was really incomprehensible. They all opened their mouths and looked at Sun Tu, and Sun Tu just kept a secret smile: "What we have to do now is to find all the skillful craftsmen in the city, especially those who are good at leather making skills." As he said that, his eyes fell on Tong Mu: "I will leave this matter to you, I won't disappoint me, right?"

"...Okay, I'll do it now, give me three days." Tong Mu only hesitated for a moment and nodded in response to this task. Although the others still had doubts in their hearts, seeing Sun Tu's confident look and thinking about the miracles he created in the past, naturally they all chose to believe that under the leadership of General Sun, they could once again create a miracle that could easily break through the natural dangers of Wulongling!

Hundreds of miles away, Wuzhou City.

After several months of panic, Fang La's remaining troops finally slowly accepted the facts and calmed down. Especially when they saw the elite Wu army rushing to Wulong Ridge and knowing the danger there, they finally had some confidence again.

The Song army's resolute stay after several months made them feel that things had a lot of potential, so when they entered Wuzhou City, three months later, it was finally much more lively than in the previous few months, at least they became angry again.

As the backbone of everyone, Fang La finally came out of self-blame and regret, and began to cheer up again, and discussed with the ministers below how to regain their strength and find opportunities to fight back. Of course, at least before Sun Tu was transferred, they would never dare to fight back.

The news brought by Fang Fei today made him feel even more discouraged: "You mean, the commander and military supervisor sent by Song Ting to Hangzhou were actually left Hangzhou by Sun Tu?"

"That is, judging from the information obtained by our spy, they were completely controlled by Sun Tu and placed under house arrest in Lin'an. It can be said that the Song army in Jiangnan is still all in Sun Tu's hands, and they seem to have intended to come west and attack our Wuzhou." Fang Fei also said with a serious expression.

The Song army could send me some detailed work to Wuzhou to investigate the news, and the Wu army was naturally the same. Although the transmission of intelligence was severely lagging, the news was still accurate and was worthy of attention.

"He actually dared to do such a thing, what should I do?" Fang La was really scared by Sun Tu. As long as he thought about the defeat of people like Pang Wanchun and Fang Shi Buddha, he felt a sense of silence.

"Your Majesty, please don't worry so much. Even so, this has laid the root of his defeat. As long as things are revealed, let alone us, even Song Ting will never spare him. And what we have to do is to delay time and not give him any chance to make contributions again."

"Yes, as long as it takes a while, when Song Ting takes him, Sun Tu will not be far from death. So Wulong Ridge is the key. If you must guard it there, Wuzhou will be safe and we will have a chance to turn defeat into victory." Speaking of this, Fang La stood up and strode to the huge map that had been hanging on the side. His fingers were swaying back and forth at the location of Wulong Ridge: "Send another 20,000 elite troops to pass by, and must not lose. In addition, let the people there take advantage of the Song army not to arrive and quickly set traps on other remote paths on the ridge. I must not let any Song army cross the ridge easily!" At this moment, he finally had a strong momentum, and finally had a bit of aura in his eyes.

Fang Fei was happy and hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "I will accept the order, and I will send someone to make arrangements. Also, in case of precautions, I think I can bury tin oil and other objects in the important roads on the ridge. Once the Song army really breaks through the fortress, we will burn it with it."

"Okay, let's do as you wish. This time, we have no way out!" Fang La said, slamming the map with a punch, but he had already made a desperate decision.

With the order of his emperor, who had only one state, the Wu army moved again. The 20,000 troops left in Wuzhou who were originally fighting set off in two days and headed straight for Wulong Ridge. In this way, the number of defenders there was already 50,000, which really made that heroic pass as solid as a might.

Of course, correspondingly, the garrison forces in Wuzhou City were all drawn, and the rest were all old, weak, sick and disabled. As long as Wulong Ridge is lost, they will have nowhere to defend and will not be far from complete defeat.

On March 12, news came that 70,000 Song troops had set sail from Hangzhou and came straight to the west.

On the 19th, in front of Wulongling, the vanguard of the Song army had arrived. Wu Song, the leader of the camp, challenged him, but the defenders did not react at all, but just guarded quietly.

On the 23rd, the main force of the Song army officially arrived before the pass. Although they had not launched a real attack, the strong pressure was overwhelming.

In the mid-spring season of the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, a final battle that determines the final direction of the chaos in Jiangnan and even affects the future direction of the entire Song Dynasty will begin in front of Wulongling.
