(Is the ** of the monthly pass coming to an end?) There are still two and a half days left before the month is over, so how about holding on for two and a half more days? ）

Chapter 551 came to Mr. Xie inexplicably

To the north of the Mandu Banner is the Keqin Banner, and to the north of the Keqin Banner is the Sele Banner. Today, Keqin Banner is an uninhabited land, and some of the herdsmen have gone to the Daxue Mountains, and some have migrated. Only a few small tribes reluctant to leave here still live in the vast grasslands of thousands of miles, and even if they have to face the threat of the wolf-like northern barbarians in the north, they are still hesitant to dodge.

When Fang Xie passed by Keqin Banner with 10,000 light horses, sometimes he couldn't see a single person for hundreds of miles. Occasionally, some herdsmen drove cattle and sheep to graze, and saw the cavalry coming from a distance, thinking that it was the return of the Keqin Banner wolf rider and cheered a few times, and when they found that it was not a wolf riding nearby, these herdsmen were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, and they couldn't even take care of the cattle and sheep.

When there are fewer people, the steppe wolf becomes more and more rampant.

Because the steppe people consider themselves to be the descendants of the wolf god, they will never kill the wolf. The wolves, which were already thriving, have become more unscrupulous in recent years. However, no matter how fierce they were, they would stay away when they saw the cavalry of the brigade, and watched vigilantly as the cavalry drove over.

The unicorn did not like to ride a horse, and strode with a copper stick to Fang Jie's side. Such a majestic guard, coupled with such a majestic white lion, complements each other and looks extraordinarily imposing.

"General, when are we going back to the Central Plains?"

Kirin asked as he walked.

Fang Xie lay on the back of the white lion and looked at the sky and smiled: "Come on, after a few battles, let the soldiers recover some murderous energy, let's go back to the northwest first, then see the timing, and then go southeast." The emperor's army has left Jinyang and marched towards Luoshui, leaving only Jin Shixiong in the northwest with tens of thousands of horses to maintain, let's go back, Jin Shixiong doesn't dare to do anything. There are not many troops left by Luo Yao on the side of Huangyang Road, so we can cross the northwest and then cross Mangdang Mountain, and gain a foothold in Huangyang Road first. ”

Qilin snorted: "Although this place is good and life is comfortable, I feel that it is not as kind as the Central Plains after all." Most of the soldiers are also thinking about this, in fact, everyone is looking forward to the general taking us back. By now, although the soldiers didn't say it, they could see it and it was clear that the Central Plains was in a mess, and who didn't want to achieve greater success? ”

Fang Xie looked at Qilin and said, "You think the same way?" ”

Qilin smiled innocently: "I don't care, I'll follow wherever the general goes, I'm used to it." ”

The corners of Fang Jie's mouth hooked up a smile, and he looked back at the big dogs chatting with the soldiers.

Oh, yes

The soldiers saw it very clearly.

Now it's not that Fang Xie doesn't want to fight, and who among the soldiers doesn't look forward to a good future? They followed Fang Jie, maybe at first to escape, in order to save their lives, but after all, they will not escape for a lifetime. If Fang Xie didn't go back to the Central Plains and enter the chaos of chasing deer, they would also be unwilling. In fact, the change in people's thinking is sometimes not difficult, and they will never have this kind of mind when the Great Sui is strong, but now that the Great Sui is in turmoil, none of them can help but think, do they have a chance to become a new founding hero in the future?

There is never a lack of desire in a man's heart, and it has nothing to do with status.

"War, people die."

Fang Xie muttered.

Qilin rubbed his nose and said, "War, how can you not die?" ”

Fang Xie was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Qilin, as if he didn't expect Qilin to say such a thing. Qilin looked at himself and smiled a little embarrassedly: "A few days ago, the military advisor and the generals below said this when they were drinking, and I just remembered it for a while. ”

Fang Xie snorted, he knew that Sun Kaidao had a lot of deep conversations with the generals below in order to promote himself to raise troops. First, he was subtly influencing the mentality of the generals, and secondly, he was trying to make Fang Xie make up his mind earlier. Sun Kaidao is a person who aspires to become the prime minister, although the Great Sui does not have this powerful official position at all. But just like Wufu's greatest ideal is to become a general of the Pillar Kingdom, the prime minister is the ultimate ideal of a literati.

In these days on the grassland, Sun Kaidao constantly hinted that Fang Xie should raise his own flag and raise troops instead of blindly retreating. Fang Xie also knew that many of the generals below actually had this in mind.

Now, something will happen naturally.

"Yes, where can war not kill people."

Fang Xie smiled and asked Qilin: "Have you ever thought about fighting on the battlefield every day in the future, is this the life you want to live?" ”

Qilin thought hard, and then smirked: "I don't know what kind of life I want to live, it's good now, every day with the general and the big dog, my heart is steady." The big dog guy should be the same, he also said when he was drinking a few days ago, although he thinks back to the previous days although it was very hard and dangerous, but there are many happy things together. ”

Fang Xie nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the opposite side. He sat up straight from the white lion and saw that it was the scout who had a flag tied to his back and had returned.

"Newspaper"

The scout stopped far away and jumped off the horse, walked over quickly and knelt down on one knee: "General, last night Zhuge Wu's men and horses attacked the camp of the Northern Barbarians at night one hundred and twenty miles ahead, breaking 30,000 Northern Barbarian soldiers, beheading tens of thousands, and capturing more than 10,000 people. Chen Yishan led his troops to the northwest 160 miles out and also discovered the camp of the Northern Barbarians, no less than 30,000 people, heavily guarded, so he had not yet started. The rest of the armies have not yet received any news from them. ”

Fang Xie hummed and ordered: "Send someone to tell Zhuge Wuyun, you can't chase too fierce." He has reached the border of the Keqin Banner, and further north is the Sele Banner, and now there are at least one million Northern Barbarians in the Sele Banner, telling him that this is here to train troops, not to fight a decisive battle with the Northern Barbarians. ”

"Yes"

The scout answered, turned back and mounted his horse.

Before the scouts left, suddenly from a distance there was another warning horn, that is, the flank rangers had discovered the enemy's signal, Fang Xie looked in the direction of the horn, waved his hand and ordered the team to stop. Ten thousand light horsemen immediately changed the array, ready to attack at any time.

……

……

When Fang Xie saw a dozen rangers and a man in a Confucian shirt riding over in the distance, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. The man looked dressed as a Han man, but it was obvious that he could not have come alone, and the ranger would not have given a warning signal if there was only one person. I guess there should be a team of people over there.

The man in the Confucian shirt approached Fang Xie and carefully looked at the white lion where Fang Xie and he were sitting down, obviously taken aback.

"Excuse me, but General Fang?"

Fang Xie nodded: "Who are you?" ”

The man in the Confucian shirt is the one who is called a divine messenger by the Northern Barbarians. He was indeed a little surprised when he saw the white lion, but he quickly recovered. He smiled at the other party and said, "I'm from the Northern Barbarians, but I should be regarded as General Fang's half old man." ”

"Half an old man?"

I don't understand.

"General, please."

The man in the Confucian shirt dismounted from his horse and reached out to make a gesture of please. Fang Xie shook his head to stop the scolding of his own soldiers, got down from the white lion and motioned for the army to rest in place, and followed the man dozens of steps away without escorts. After leaving the team far enough, the man in the Confucian shirt clenched his fists again: "It's bothering General Fang." ”

"Who the hell are you?"

Fang asked.

"The general doesn't know me, I said that I am half an old general, because my friend is a general."

"Who?"

"Finish your face and be virtuous."

The man in the Confucian shirt smiled: "My surname is Xie, and I have been living in the 100,000 mountains of Northern Liaodi. ”

At this time, Wan Yan Yunshu, who had been chatting with Mu Xiaoxiao and them in the back, suddenly saw the person in front of Fang Jie, and shouted far away: "Mr. Xie, why are you here?" ”

"I've seen Your Highness"

After seeing Yan Yunshu coming, the man in the Confucian shirt bowed down slightly to salute.

Wanyan Yunshu went over and pulled his arm and said in surprise: "It's been a few years, why did Mr. suddenly come here?" Sir is here, and Father Khan is also here? ”

The middle-aged man known as Mr. Xie smiled and said, "The Great Khan is still in Northern Liaodi, and this time I came out by myself." Seeing that His Highness is well, I can also have an explanation with the Great Khan when I go back. ”

"You're here to see me?"

Wan Yan Yunshu asked with a smile. It seems that she is very familiar with this middle-aged man and respectful. The people of Northern Liao do not have the title of sir, obviously they have learned the honorific title of the Han people for this middle-aged man.

"The Great Khan has specially instructed me to inquire about the news of His Highness."

Mr. Xie said.

"Oh"

Wanyan Yunshu pouted: "It turned out that he didn't come to see me on purpose, so I was happy in vain." In that case, let's talk, and don't tell Father Khan that I've seen me when you go back! ”

"Your Highness, the Great Khan is very concerned about you."

Mr. Xie hurriedly said.

Wanyan Yunshu immediately laughed, ran back and grabbed Fang Jie's arm and said with a smile: "I won't tease you, this is Mr. Xie, the most respected wise man in our Northern Liaodi, since Mr. arrived in Northern Liaodi more than ten years ago, he has not left, taught us to read and write, taught us to weave and spin, and taught us how to distinguish the stars in the sky." Mr. is knowledgeable, and many Han allusions I know are taught by Mr., so let's talk, I'll go back to Sister Shen and them. ”

Fang Xie smiled and nodded, and then hugged his fist at Mr. Xie: "May I ask what advice Mr. Xie has for coming to see me?" ”

"Please retreat from the army."

Mr. Xie said directly: "Don't hide it from the general, this time the Northern Barbarians entered the grassland, and I made it happen. The Northern Barbarian King obeyed me, and it was not easy to attack the grassland, and I really didn't want the Northern Barbarians, who had just tasted the sweetness, to retreat because they were afraid of the general's iron cavalry. ”

"Huh?"

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and then said: "Sir's intention is to let the Northern Barbarians attack the grassland, so that there will be an extra layer of barrier between the Northern Liao Land and the grassland. In the future, if the Mengyuan royal court wins, if you want to exert pressure on the Northern Liao Land as in the past, you must first clean up these millions of Northern Barbarians. ”

"There should be more than that......"

Fang Xie was silent for a while and said: "The place where the Northern Barbarians live borders on the Great Sui, after the Northern Barbarians leave, the Northern Liao people want to enter the Great Sui There is one more way, closer and safer, and there is no need to worry about being interfered with by the Mengyuan people." Entering the customs from the territory of the northern barbarians, there is no need to go to the northwest where there are many battles, is it ...... The Great Sui Emperor has already promised you that the Northern Liao Land will be incorporated into the Central Plains? ”

Mr. Xie praised: "His Royal Highness Wanyan Chongde has praised General Fang in front of me more than once, and it really deserves his reputation when I see it today. Yes, the Great Sui Emperor had already issued an order to allow millions of people in the Northern Liao region to pass through the Northern Barbarians and enter the pass in Lingbei Road. He had already specialized in a large area in Lingbei Province, which was the new home of the Northern Liao people. ”

Fang Xie frowned, because he didn't know what the origin of this Mr. Xie was, and he didn't express his worries.

"Congratulations, the Great Khan of Northern Liao has finally got his wish, and the people of Northern Liao can finally get out of the bitter cold land."

"yes"

Mr. Xie smiled and said, "It's really gratifying." ”

Both of them were laughing, but Fang Xie always felt that there was something else looming in Mr. Xie's eyes.

"That's right"

Mr. Xie suddenly said, "My nephew and General Fang are still classmates and friends. ”

"Xie Fuyao?!"

Fang Xie immediately thought of the prince who was as rich as jade, and then hurriedly stood up straight and saw it again with the gift of a junior: "Since he is Fuyao's uncle, he is also my elder." ”
