Chapter 823: Giving Wings to the Tiger
Chapter 823 Gives Wings to the Tiger
The matter of Yongbei Road is not complicated to solve, and the current solution occupies the absolute initiative, no matter what kind of game it is, whether it involves rights or life and death, the decision is never in the hands of the weak. These powerful factions relative to ordinary people are no longer worth mentioning in Fang Jie's eyes. If it weren't for the fear of causing panic, Fang Xie would have closed the gates of Crescent City and then slaughtered from the south to the north and from the east to the west, who would care?
With tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, this is the last word.
The biggest advantage of having a subordinate like Dugu Wenxiu is that Fang Xie only needs to propose a direction, and Dugu Wenxiu can immediately refine this direction. For example, Fang Xie pointed to the east and said that he should go that way, which is just a general direction. But Dugu Wenxiu can find the most correct way from Fang Jie's words, and refine it to how many degrees.
The day after killing Chi Haonian, Dugu Wenxiu selected a group of civil officials to stay and govern the place, and then in the name of Fang Jie, arranged for some of the best of the family to enter the government to do things, and they all had official positions. This move immediately led the chosen ones to believe that they had finally escaped and had been lucky enough to become a member of the Black Flag Army. As long as you have a relationship with the Black Flag Army, it seems that you can do whatever you want in the southwest.
As for those who are not chosen, they will not be angry because of this...... Because they don't have that time. The Sui people have much more experience in playing in the nest than in foreign wars, so Dugu Wenxiu only needs to reveal a little bit that Fang Xie is dissatisfied with which family, then, the other families will pounce on it like a dog that pounces on a bone, and without the Black Flag Army making a move, they can tear the people who should be eliminated into pieces.
Fang Xie didn't plan to stay in Crescent City for a long time, and after leaving 10,000 horses to guard Yongbei Road, the army immediately started again, carrying enough grain and grass to carry it, because Fang Xie knew that the road below would not be so smooth. If the butcher's knife is moved on the Yongbei Road side, the blood smell can be smelled on the Nanhui Road side.
No matter how stupid Du Jianzhou, the governor of Nanhui Province, is, he will not follow Chi Haonian's old path.
But Fang Xie didn't expect that although Du Jianzhou did not take Chi Haonian's road, he did not take another more tragic but somewhat gentlemanly road. Fang Xie originally thought that Du Jianzhou would not give up easily, and would definitely gather all the forces that Nanhui Dao could mobilize to prevent Fang Xie from snatching his things, who would have thought that Du Jianzhou would be more straightforward than Fang Xie expected...... He ran.
Actually, it's no wonder.
When Fang Xie first entered Yongbei Road, he asked Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong, two veterans who had just joined the Black Flag Army and were waiting to make some contributions, to lead the troops out of the brigade and take a small road to quietly enter Nanhui Road. These two generals who led the troops for half their lives didn't have to think much about fighting such a battle at all, and after fifteen days of rapid marching, they directly touched the men and horses gathered by Du Jianzhou, and at this time, the county soldiers of Nanhui Province were still staring at Fang Xie in Yongbei Road, and they didn't notice that death had come.
The surprise attack directly tore the Nanhui Dao county soldier camp to pieces, and the army composed of recruits and surrendered soldiers turned into wolves, using the horizontal knife in their hands to make fangs, and killed the county soldiers all over the field. There was no declaration of war, it was a direct fight, and it was a complete sneak attack.
It was a success.
The day after the defeat, Du Jianzhou ran away with his family. When his men were still busy gathering the defeated troops and preparing for a decisive battle, they found that the commander was gone. At that time, the feeling of Du Jianzhou's subordinates should be like this...... An impassioned speech by a charismatic man called on everyone to take up arms to defend their position and homeland, and after the fight, the charismatic man ran away on his own.
This feeling is incomparably aggrieved and angry.
So when Fang Xie entered Nanhui Road with a large group of men, Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong had already planted the battle flag of the Black Flag Army on the wall of Daozhi City.
The eldest princess Yang Qinyan felt more and more that she was just a spectator, she had watched with interest how a person like Fang Xie could become a prince, and she was happy for Fang Jie's continuous victories, because she also looked forward to the Black Flag Army becoming stronger and stronger, so that she could help restore the status of the Yang family.
But this excitement and curiosity disappeared after Luo Weiran returned to Chang'an.
She seemed to be genuinely desperate, and all the victories of the Black Flag Army seemed to her to be a sarcasm for her. She was so naΓ―ve waiting for Luo Weiran to take over the power of the Black Flag Army, and then take this victorious army back to Chang'an City in a dignified manner.
However, all this turned out to be a dream.
Fang Xie naturally felt the change in Yang Qinyan, but he wouldn't explain anything at all. From the heart, Fang rescued Yang Qinyan from Chang'an City, most of it was because he didn't want the Yang family to be cut off, although the emperor named Yang Yi had murderous thoughts against him, but after all, he also helped him a lot. Now that Yang Qinyan's identity is clear, this kind of protection is more like protecting the son of an old man.
Compared with the conquest of Nanyan, it is easier to completely control these three rivers and mountains. Fang Xie only walked from the south to the north with his troops, and all obstacles were broken. Sometimes the greatest advantage of a bad name is that it makes those who have the courage to resist you hesitate, and makes those who don't have the courage to resist you immediately kneel down and surrender.
southwest
Da Ding!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Two months after leaving Yongzhou, at the end of October of that year, Fang Xie returned to Huangyang Road with the victorious army! If Fang Jie's expedition route were to be drawn, everyone who saw it would think it was a feat. Trained from the northwest, and then suddenly killed back to Huangyang Dao, you must know that Huangyang Dao was still under Luo Yao's control at that time, who dared to brush Luo Yao's tiger whiskers?
Fang Xie dared, so he succeeded.
Stabilize Huangyang Dao, and then take the men and horses to leave the foundation land even more boldly, pass through the three rivers and mountains that are quite hostile to him, kill the Southern Barbarians, destroy the Southern Yan, and kill the southwest of the Great Sui in one breath, stabbing those who were once high in the flesh and blood.
Cui Zhongzhen received Fang Xie in the southernmost city of Huangyang Road, and the two of them walked arm in arm after meeting. Speaking of which, to stabilize the camp of Suzaku Mountain, Cui Zhongzhen is indispensable. Fang Jie's serial plan, without Cui Zhongzhen, it can't be connected at all.
When Cui Zhongzhen led his troops to attack Xinyang City, he received a secret letter from Fang Jie, and then he deliberately led his troops to attack the city and pretended to be defeated, and returned to Vermilion Bird Mountain under the pretext of being seriously injured, and then secretly made Luo Weiran's arrangements clear. This merit is not lower than that of the soldiers who fought in the south.
"There's something the lord should already know."
Cui Zhongzhen said as he walked: "The Xiaoqi School Group led Zuo Mingcian to go to Muping City in Eastern Xinjiang to meet Yang Shunhui and submit a letter from the lord, but in Muping he found that someone was secretly trading with foreigners and purchased a large number of firearms, so he followed the clues he found all the way down and found that it was Luo Tu ......who secretly traded with foreigners."
Cui Zhongzhen said: "His manpower is too thin, so he sent someone back to ask for help." In order to save time, the people who asked for help went back to Huangyang Road directly, after all, the distance was half faster than the team that greeted the lord. The subordinates sent hundreds of elites to follow the people who asked for help back, and the team had only been off for half a month, and they received a secret letter sent back by Zuo Mingciao. β
Cui Zhongzhen handed a secret letter to Fang Jie: "I have sent someone to inform the lord of this matter, this is the original of Zuo Mingciao's secret letter." β
Fang Xie took the letter and looked at it, then nodded with a smile: "I have some impression of this Zuo Mingcicada, I remember that he is a group leader under Chen Xiaoru, and he was sent to Muping to see Yang Shunhui because he did things steadily and carefully, who would have thought that he would make such a great contribution!" β
"It's a great achievement!"
Cui Zhongzhen sighed in admiration: "Although I couldn't smoothly pull the elite people of Mu Li's more than 10,000 people, it was already a great achievement to bring Mu Li over." Mu Li knew Luo Tu's men and horses very well, and if he fought with Luo Tu in the future, this person would be of great use. And...... You can also pull a sailor! β
Cui Zhongzhen was a little excited: "That's a sailor with hundreds of warships, the most lacking thing under the lord is the navy, if this sailor comes over smoothly, then there will be another tiger under the lord!" β
Fang Xie snorted: "So I have sent Chen Xiaoru to personally bring people over to support Zuo Mingcicada, and the sailor must bring it over." In addition, we cannot sit idly by and watch Luo Tu's firearms battalion grow. Duan Zheng has already turned around with our fleet, and will not go to Dali for the time being, and will first go to greet Zheng Qiu's navy. β
Cui Zhongzhen smiled and said: "Now that the overall situation has become a certainty, now Luo Tu is going to hate you." β
"Haha"
Fang Xie laughed and said: "Hate it, hate it, you can't even hate it." But even if he hates me, I won't be able to beat me for the time being......"
Fang Xie suppressed a low voice and said: "Yang Jian's ironclad army has defeated the army of Tonggu Academy, it is said that Yang Jian broke into the academy alone and started to kill, those hidden old perverts in the academy were killed by him in one go, it seems that there are no more people in the academy to support the faΓ§ade, hundreds of years ago, the establishment of Tonggu Academy began to affect the entire Central Plains, and today it perished, but it has no impact on the general trend of the Central Plains." β
Because the fact that the person leading the troops in the imperial court is Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, has not yet spread, Fang Xie and Cui Zhongzhen spoke in a low voice. Yang Jian will not take the initiative to divulge his identity, because no one will believe it at all, but will be scolded by the people as a psychopath. Naturally, the knowledge of other forces will not be spread, so only a small number of people know about it.
"How's the battle going in the north?"
Fang asked.
Cui Zhongzhen sorted it out and said: "The battle situation in the north is relatively chaotic, originally the combined forces of Jin Shixiong, Wang Yiqu and Gao Kaitai have already invaded Gyeonggi Province, and they are about to attack Chang'an City. As a result, the Tonggu Academy was defeated, and it was Jin Shixiong's third brother Jin Shiduo who commanded the army, and asked Jin Shixiong for help. β
As a result, he was stopped by the tiger and his troops along the Yangtze River, and there was no ironclad army in his hands, but this person was too perverted, and there was no one on the battlefield, and he couldn't pass in front of Jin Shixiong's army of more than 100,000 troops. Wang Yiqu and Gao Kaitai's men and horses were besieging Chang'an, they didn't know that the little emperor was dead, and they were still dreaming of holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes. β
Fang Xie nodded, thinking of the ugly boy riding the old scalper. Fighting Tiger is completely different from Yang Jian, Yang Jian is obsessed with immersing himself in his past glory and cannot extricate himself, while Fighting Tiger seems to be more afraid and uneasy about reappearing in the world, as well as resistance.
"There's never been a better time for us."
Cui Zhongzhen said: "The forces of all parties are fighting, but the southwest is peaceful. If you take this opportunity to make the team correct, by the time the soldiers have regained their spirits, those people will almost have a winner. β
Fang Xie smiled and nodded: "They beat theirs...... After Zheng Qiu's sailor arrived, he immediately chose one of the suitable warships for transformation, this sailor is a tiger given to me by the enemy, and I want to put wings on this tiger again! β
