Chapter 791: Ask him to come to me alone

Thirty miles north of Dali

Some of the unexpected things of the Southern Yan people were that the Black Flag Army did not surround Dali City on all sides, but only camped outside the north gate, and the black suppression of the company camp looked palpitating, and no one in the city expected that the Black Flag Army would kill Dali City so quickly. After Jin An's defeat, Murong Yan didn't think about sending troops to block the Black Flag Army, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty stood up and recommended a reliable candidate who could win this battle, in fact, none of them were willing to lead troops to fight.

So Murong Yan regretted a little and regretted his hesitation.

If the troops had been increased in Jin'an, the progress of the Black Flag Army would not have been so fast.

Looking at the panic and fear on the faces of those courtiers below, Murong Yan couldn't help but sneer. Just now, six Shangshu, including the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, plus the high-ranking officials of the three provinces, jointly played and asked him to give an order to abandon the city! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there was only the imperial envoy of the Imperial History Tower, who was scolded by him a while ago, and asked to fight to the death with tears in his eyes. There was only one person in the Manchu Dynasty, and they all asked him to flee...... What a shameless and timid admonition this is, Murong Yan can't even imagine where these people come from!

It's not that he can't see through the dirty minds of these people, so he feels disgusted.

These people didn't care if he, the Emperor of Southern Yan, was still the emperor, as long as their family business could be preserved. Fang Jie's sudden change of strategy in Jin'an was undoubtedly the first killing move to attack Dali City, and it went straight into the hearts of those courtiers. Fang Xie didn't kill anyone again in Jin'an, but protected Ning Hao's family, the city lord of Jin'an, and didn't even take away Ning Hao's family property with a copper plate!

This news is undoubtedly a signal that these adults in the Southern Yan Imperial Court can have another choice. When Fang Xie went south to kill the Quartet, these courtiers finally showed a trace of the same hatred and hatred that collapsed in an instant. Although Murong Yan knew that their common hatred was not because of Yan Guo or because of him, the emperor, but for himself, this was a good thing for him after all, but unfortunately, Fang Xie just released a city lord, which exposed the falsehood behind this unity in advance.

The weakness of Nanyan actually lies in differentiation. The local government does not obey the imperial decrees, and those big families are also intrigued, not to mention how much respect he has for the emperor. If so many big families and local heroes join forces, they may not be able to stop Fang Jie's Black Flag Army.

Therefore, Murong Yan didn't even have to worry for a while, he felt that as long as the courtiers were united, no matter how strong the Black Flag Army was, what was there to fear?

Now, Fang Xie used this method to loosen the already unsturdy determination of those courtiers.

"Your Majesty!"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the Black Flag Army is in full swing, and it is really the next policy to regret it at this time." Although the city of Dali is high and the walls are thick, it is inevitable to lose it over time. As for the foreigners...... It is even more untrustworthy. Your Majesty's body is golden, and you must not be in danger. The minister thought that when the Black Flag Army did not besiege the city, His Majesty personally led the army to withdraw from Dali. ”

Although he noticed that Murong Yan's face was not good-looking, but at this time, he simply said in one breath: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if Your Majesty withdraws from Dali, the thieves will inevitably be impetuous, and they will be very proud. His Majesty's retreat is not to give up, but to win in the end...... There are more than a dozen Xiongcheng cities in the south of Dali, and there are many armies, if they are united, can the Black Flag Army continue to be like a bamboo? ”

"Please Your Majesty, withdraw from Dali, and order the city lords of the southern cities to lead troops to escort them, and then they will be able to form a strong army and win, and it is just a little more time."

The military department Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this is the best policy. ”

Murong Yan sneered and said, "This method is indeed good, but I have a better, fastest and most direct way to keep most of the people in this hall safe." Not a single brick will be cracked in the wall, and you will not have to lose a single copper coin. ”

"What is Your Majesty's plan?"

Someone immediately asked.

Murong snorted coldly and said, "I tied myself up and sent it to the Black Flag Army camp, and you people can all be saved, what do you think, what is my strategy?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people below were suddenly silent.

The smile on the corner of Murong Yan's mouth was full of sarcasm: "Not long ago, when Fang Xie sent an envoy to come, you were still shouting one by one that you wanted to live and die with Dali City and Dayan Kingdom, why, it's only been a few days, and your thoughts have changed?" Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you saw that Ning Hao was able to leave safely with his family and property, you want to do that, right? ”

"Ridiculous!"

His gaze swept over the ministers: "Fang Jie's army has not yet shown its sword, and the ladder of the Black Flag Army has not yet been erected on the city wall, and you have been defeated by others." He has made grass grow in your hearts with just such a trick, which is not a clever trick, and I really don't know whether to praise the cunning of the enemy or curse your shamelessness! Even if Ning Hao is still alive, he is just a toothless old dog who has been imprisoned, what about you? Think Fang Xie will let you go? ”

The people below were silent, looking at each other.

"I have been putting up with you and letting you go, because I feel that as long as I show enough patience and tolerance, you people will be moved by me and work together to build Dayan into a powerful country in the world. Even if such a goal cannot be achieved, at least it can make the whole country of Great Yan as a monolith, and no one wants to pry the foundation of Great Yan Kingdom! But I was wrong, your hearts are made of ice for thousands of years, and I can't warm it even if I tolerate it! ”

"I can tell you that you are all dead."

Murong Yan stood up and said loudly: "I have issued an order to block the eight gates of Dali, and no one can leave the city without my will, otherwise they will be killed!" I am not a qualified emperor, and I have not been able to govern Dayan well, but I can at least govern my capital! Remember what I said when I ascended the throne? ”

He glanced at the people below, sneered and said, "Glory with glory, death with death!" ”

……

……

Fang Xie climbed the watchtower and looked at Dali City with clairvoyance. When I saw the city, all the memories came flooding back to my mind. He spent the first few years of his escape here, and although he lived cautiously but peacefully. At that time, the people who protected him didn't have a good face for him, including Shen Tianfan, Mu Xiaoyi, and big dogs.

Who would have thought that so many things would happen later?

It seemed that the city was no different from when he left. It's just that there are obviously a lot more defenders on the city wall, and Fang Xie also saw the artillery erected on the city wall.

"The Lord"

Chen Xiaoru climbed the watchtower and shouted: "Murong Yan gave a reply." ”

He handed over a letter, Fang Xie opened it and looked at it, and there were five words on it.

I am willing to fight with you

Fang Xie smiled and threw the letter aside: "When I decided to go south, many people told me that Murong was too cunning, and when the army attacked Dali City, I was afraid that he would already take his men and horses into the mountains, and it would be difficult to encircle and suppress the vast 100,000 mountains. But...... How could he escape? ”

"He fled, hid in the mountains, and when he came out, he was still the emperor? If you lose Dali, he is nothing. Where will he go to the local families? Who would dare to take him in at that time? So from the beginning to the end, I knew that Murong Yan would definitely not escape. Dali is here, he is the emperor of Nanyan. If he abandons Dali, don't think about going back to the past. ”

"Did our people go in?"

Fang asked

"If you go in, you should be in contact with the Xiao Riding School in the city soon."

Chen Xiaoru replied: "Follow the messenger into the city, hide under the carriage, there are four people in total, and if there are more, they will be detected." Although there are few people, they are carefully selected by their subordinates. ”

"Hmm"

Fang Xie nodded: "How many people are there in the Xiao Riding School in the city?" ”

Chen Xiaoru said: "There are about thirty or forty people, at that time, the Xiao Riding School was short of manpower, and there were only so many people who could be transferred, mixed with the people of Pingshang Road who were taken captive, and nine out of ten should be in Dali." However, the subordinates estimated that there were still people who had not entered the city, and the team of refugees would be relaxed when they arrived in Dali, and it was not too difficult to secretly withdraw from the team with the alertness and skills of the Xiao Riding School. If there is someone outside, they will soon report to the army. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "What I want to know now is if there are any great cultivators around Murong Yan to protect him, and this person must be captured." ”

"The news should come out soon, and the people who have mixed in have carrier pigeons."

"Hmm"

Fang Xie was silent for a while and asked, "Is there any news from the reinforcements?" ”

Chen Xiaoru lowered his head and said: "Luo Weiran has entered Yongbei Road with reinforcements, and it is expected that it will arrive in another twenty days at most." When I came over along the way, I didn't notice anything, and the people who were replaced by those who traveled all over the world were also ordered by Wu Yiyi to be transferred back, and as soon as the people came back, they immediately began to interrogate. ”

Fang explained: "These people don't interfere in the interrogation, at least don't interfere in the open. If we intervene, it will inevitably make people who are all over the world think that we can't believe it, so we will simply hand it over to Sanjin Hou to deal with. ”

"The subordinates understand, but there are so many people, it's nothing to lose one or two people on the road."

Fang Xie smiled: "Clean hands and feet." ”

"Don't worry, lord!"

Chen Xiaoru hugged his fists.

Yan Mad is about to come back, leaving Mu San alone in Chang'an City. He is clever enough, what he lacks is confidence, there are more people, and he is more down-to-earth, you choose capable people to go to Chang'an to protect Mu San's safety. If you don't fight Chang'an City now, but you will definitely fight it in the future, Mu San will be of great use sooner or later if he stays in the capital, and he can't lose it. ”

"Whoa!"

"After Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing arrived, they immediately brought them to see me."

"Whoa!"

"Has Andrew arrived?"

"I'll be here early tomorrow at the latest, and I'll be here tonight if nothing happens."

"Is there any news from the firearms workshop?"

"The shells sent back have been disassembled and studied, and the craftsmen of the workshop say that as long as there are samples, it is not too difficult to make them, but it is the scale of the workshop that restricts the output. And when the factory was built, it was built according to the manufacturing level of the Rus' principality, and now that something better has been found, a lot of infrastructure has to be renovated. ”

"Then change it as soon as possible, Yongzhou is not yet stable, so the firearms workshop can't leave the Suzaku Mountain camp yet."

Fang Xie thought for a moment and asked, "Who is in Muping City?" ”

"It's a thousand households left to sing cicadas."

Chen Xiaoru replied: "He is a very calm person, and his mind is also smart. ”

"Let him and the people who have traveled all over the world think of a way, and it is best to get a few firearms craftsmen from the Opru Empire back. When Andrew arrived, let him take charge of the interrogation...... Remember, after the city was broken, those foreigners tried their best to catch them alive, and these people were needed to improve their firearms. Andrew came to interrogate them and was the most suitable person. When sending a letter to Zuo Mingciao, let him also pay more attention to Mu Ping's movements, if there is any connection between foreigners and Yang Shunhui or Mu Mansion in Mu Ping City, immediately report it urgently! He has been gone for a while and still hasn't heard back, it seems that neither the people from Mu Mansion nor Yang Shun will pay much attention to my reminder...... Carelessness is always a harbinger of failure. ”

"Well, when the subordinates turn around, they will order someone to do it."

"And ......"

Fang Xie paused for a moment and said: "Send someone back to the reinforcements, pass on my military order to let Chen Yishan be the commander-in-chief, Zhuge Wuyun as the deputy commander, take over the command of the army, and ask Luo Weiran to come here to see me first." ”

Chen Xiaoru's face changed, and then he lowered his head and said, "My subordinates understand." ”
