Chapter 715 Say Thank You

Chen Xiaoru was picked up by Fang Jie, Luo Weiran transferred three people from the inner guard to follow Fang Jie, Nie Xiaoju is now the deputy commander of Fang Jie's pro-military camp, he and Qilin can deter a large number of people with the pro-military camp. Yan Mad is still working in the Xiao Riding School, but Yan Mad is too straightforward and simple, so Fang Xie did not arrange any particularly important positions for him, but only gave him the status second only to Chen Xiaoru in the Xiao Riding School.

A while ago, Yan Madness escorted Mu San to the capital, but after arriving in the capital, Mu San was separated from him, and Mu San didn't know what Yan Madness was arranged. Mu San can't contact Yan Mad, but Yan Madness can contact him at any time. It can be seen that the Ouchi Guard Office still operates a force that cannot be underestimated in the capital, and Luo Weiran, the real commander of the Ouchi Guard, is now sitting in Suzaku Mountain.

Chen Xiaoru is the most stable person among the three, and as he experiences more and more things, he becomes more and more calm and decisive.

Let him say that there is something that is not very good, then it must be taken seriously.

"What's the matter?"

Fang asked.

Chen Xiaoru walked closer, lowered his voice and said, "The people who travel the world have taken Andrew's younger brothers and sisters from the Rus country a while ago, and it took a lot of trouble. Originally, it was quite secretive and did not attract the attention of the locals. But when passing through Dongchu, the big ship replenished supplies, but I didn't expect to meet a few Rus' people who actually knew Andrew's sister, thinking that they were helpless who had escaped from Rus' country, and stepped forward to tease, and were taught a lesson by the people who traveled through the world. ”

Fang Xie was slightly stunned, this matter sounded very ordinary, but Fang Xie knew what a spark was.

"If it's on the ground in the Central Plains, none of these Rus' people want to go back alive. But in Dongchu, people who travel the world can't be too presumptuous. After all, the relationship between Eastern Chu and the Rus' people is very close. However, Eastern Chu has always been tightly controlled, and no direct trade between the Rus and the Central Plains is allowed. The subordinates are only worried about ......"

Fang Xie felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he heard Sanjin Hou mention it, it was because he knew that the foreigner country on the other side of the ocean was quite powerful, so the merchants of Eastern Chu did not allow the Rus to come over, and the fleet of Eastern Chu had been blocking the coastline. But now, the Rus people actually appeared in Eastern Chu......

"The subordinates have arranged for someone to rush to Dongchu as soon as possible to investigate, and the subordinates are worried about ...... Eastern Chu has always been suppressed by the Great Sui, except for the commendable sailor, it is almost impossible for Eastern Chu to win the Great Sui on the mainland, even if it is the current Great Sui. Yang Shunhui, one of the auxiliary ministers of the imperial court, went to Eastern Xinjiang, and the Mu Mansion was located in the northeast, so even if the Eastern Chu people knew that the Great Sui was in chaos now, they had no chance to take advantage. ”

"This time, the Rus people appeared in Dongchu, and the subordinates were afraid that there was some collusion between the Eastern Chu royal family and the Rus' people. It is difficult for Eastern Chu to snatch back more than half of the territory occupied by the Great Sui with the strength of one country. The eastern part of the Great Sui was not affected by the war, and the border army was complete. The two guards controlled by Mu Fu, as well as Yang Shunhui's newly built left Xiaowei and right Xiaowei, are also there, will the Eastern Chu people want to use the firearms of the Rus' people......"

Chen Xiaoru paused for a moment and looked at Fang Jie's face.

"When the people who traveled through the world came back, did they see the warships of the Rus' people at the Dongchu Wharf?"

Fang asked.

"Nope"

Chen Xiaoru replied: "Although the people who traveled the world did not deliberately investigate this matter, because they beat the Rus' people and were worried about any conflict, they deliberately observed that there was only one merchant ship with the logo of the Rus' country, and it was very small, and there was no official sign of the Rus' country. In addition, the subordinates analyzed that those Rus' people knew Andrew's sister, and Andrew was a poor man in Rus' country, so it can be seen that the status of those people will not be very high. ”

Fang Xie felt a little more steady.

The current Black Flag Army does not yet have the ability to influence Eastern Chu, nor does it have the ability to influence Eastern Sui Eastern Xinjiang. Mu Fu's control over Eastern Xinjiang is undoubted, and Yang Shunhui's two new soldiers should not be underestimated. Coupled with the complete border army in Eastern Xinjiang, the Eastern Chu people were not stupid enough to declare war on the Great Sui. Moreover, although the Great Sui was in chaos, the Great Sui was still the biggest source of interests for the merchants of Eastern Chu, once the Great Sui and Eastern Chu went to war, the Great Sui blocked the trade routes, and the losses of Eastern Chu were great.

"The Eastern Chu royal family shouldn't be so stupid......"

Fang Xie thought about it, and still ordered: "Send capable people to Dongjiang with my name to visit General Mu Fu and Yang Shunhui respectively." Please pay attention to the eastern frontier defense, although I have no contact with the people in Mufu, I still have a few encounters with General Yang Shunhui. ”

"Whoa"

Chen Xiaoru responded, took out the second secret letter and handed it to Fang Jie: "This is a secret report from Vermilion Bird Mountain, Andrew and they have successfully improved the configuration of **, and the power is much greater than the original." The prototype of the artillery has also been successful, and after the completion of the test firing, it will be ready for mass casting. However, the conditions of the workshop are limited, and even if it starts working day and night, the output is still difficult to reach the equipped firearms battalion in a short time. ”

"Another ......"

Chen Xiaoru said: "Jin Shixiong seems to have vaguely known what we are going to do in exchange for a large amount of iron ore, and he has been making things difficult since last month. For more than a year, the grain he exchanged for ore from us was enough for him to use for a while, so he began to be dishonest. ”

"Rich ...... in the Southwest"

Chen Xiaoru sighed and said: "But there is no iron mine, the northwest is tired, but it is definitely not the iron mine in Jin Shixiong's hand." Most of the military industry of the Great Sui was built in the northeast, and there were iron mines in the northern and eastern regions. If our firearms battalion wants to develop, relying on this in exchange for iron ore is still too disadvantageous after all. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Wait until I clean up Nanyan first...... There are no iron mines in the southwest, but there are in Nanyan. After destroying Nanyan, there is no need for me to bargain with Jin Shixiong anymore. No one likes to be blackmailed, so Kim Se-woong is really not a material for doing business. ”

"Teach him a lesson?"

Chen Xiaoru asked tentatively.

"Check first, and pull out as many spies as you can from the spies sent by Jin Shixiong in Huangyang Dao. In addition, let Duan Zheng's sailors cruise back and forth on the Huangniu River to prevent all traffic in Hebei. The grain in Jin Shixiong's hands is enough to last for three months at most, and it is still on the basis of not expanding the army. The reason why he wants to blackmail me with iron ore is precisely because he wants to expand his army...... In addition, let the scattered gold wait order, all the trading houses are not allowed to provide any goods to the northwest, is any! ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Xiaoru leaned over and said, "Then the subordinates will retire first." ”

Fang Xie waved his hand: "Go ahead...... In addition, after the destruction of Xinyang City, let Dugu Wenxiu come to Yongzhou to see me immediately. ”

"Whoa!"

……

……

Fang Xie personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Sun Kaidao, who was sitting opposite. Sun Kaidao, who had just rushed over from the Zhuque Mountain camp on Huangyang Road, was obviously a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly got up and took the teacup with both hands. Since Fang Xie went south, this hanging official, who had previously ranked first in the Chinese rank of the Black Flag Army, and even had a status second only to Fang Xie for a while, became idle. Except for the dismissal of him during the negotiation with Beihuidao, he has not been arranged to do anything since then.

As a result, his position in the Black Flag Army was gradually replaced by the rising star Dugu Wenxiu. Now that Dugu Wenxiu has been unsealed by Fang as the governor of Huangyang Dao, the prime minister of Huangyang Dao, and even the military affairs of Xinyang City have been handed over to him and Chen Yishan, this trust can be said to be impossible to find a second among the civil officials of the Zhuque Mountain camp.

"Mr. turned out to be tired, I was going to let you rest for one night first, and then invite Mr. to talk tomorrow, but I didn't expect Mr. to come to me directly when he arrived in Yongzhou."

Fang Xie smiled, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down and talk, where are there so many rules between you and me." ”

Sun Kaidao's face was a little strange, and his hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

"General, find a subordinate, but what are your orders?"

Sun Kaidao asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing ...... either"

Fang Xie smiled gently: "It's just that I haven't seen Mr. for a while, so I'm worried about it." I remember that when I first went north from Huangyang Road, it was with the help of my husband that I was able to gradually gain a foothold in the northwest. Later, I led the army to the east to rescue the first emperor, and Mr. led the troops to guard the camp of the Wolf Milk Mountain, and it was very safe to do both military and civilian affairs. It is precisely because of the presence of Mr. that I can confidently and boldly lead the troops out to fight. ”

Later, Mr. pointed out that going to the grassland for development coincided with me. If there was no trip to the grassland, there would be no cavalry of the Black Flag Army later. After returning to Huangyang Road, the affairs of Tuntian were still handled by Mr., and in the first year, hundreds of thousands of acres of barren land were opened. If it weren't for Mr., the logistical supply of the Suzaku Mountain camp would not be so complete. ”

"The general praised it falsely, that is the duty of his subordinates."

"yes...... This is ......"

Fang Xie repeated it as if he was muttering to himself, and Sun Kaidao's face immediately became ugly again. Originally, Fang Jie's previous few heart-warming words relaxed the worry in his heart a little, but this self-talk made his heart tense again.

"General...... Subordinate......"

Fang Xie glanced at him: "What, Mr. has something to say?" ”

Sun Kaidao was silent for a while, and finally shook his head: "No." ”

"Hmm"

Fang Xie snorted, seemingly a little disappointed. He got up and walked to the window, leaving the night outside for a long time without speaking. Sun Kaidao sat on the chair and looked at the cup in his hand in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, Fang Xie turned around and smiled at him: "Mr. is tired from rushing along the way, so let's go back and rest." If anything, wait until dawn to talk about it. ”

Sun Kaidao opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then got up to salute: "Then the subordinate will leave." ”

"Let's go"

When Sun Kaidao arrived at the door, Fang Xie suddenly said in a very light tone: "Mr. take good care of your body in the future, the climate between the north and south has become very different, Yongzhou is more humid than Huangyang Road, Mr. is a northerner, pay more attention to ......"

"Huh?"

Sun Kaidao was stunned, then thanked him and left quickly.

After Sun Kaidao had walked for a long time, Fang Xie sighed and said to himself: "If you don't say some things, I naturally can't say them." If you bring it up yourself, you can talk about everything...... If I bring it up first, will I kill you? ”

……

……

Sun Kaidao didn't fall asleep all night, pacing back and forth in the room. He thought about what he had done with Fang Xie in the past few years, thinking about how much credit he had made and how many mistakes he had made. For a whole night, he compared one credit and one wrong one, and then found that if he folded all the credit, he should still be beheaded.

accepted bribes, bought and sold official positions, and had a connection with the Jiangnan family. These things, any of these things on others are enough to be killed by Fang Xie once. So the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally when it was almost dawn, he finally made up his mind to find a solution again and explain these things as they were.

After changing his clothes, he was about to go out, when he saw Chen Xiaoru and a few people waiting for him at the door.

"On the orders of the general, please go to the south of the city to see your new house."

Chen Xiaoru said with a smile: "The general has bought a big mansion for you at the foot of the mountain in the south of the city, and it has been cleaned up. In the future, the gentleman will live there for a long time, and the gentleman will not lack any money in his hand, so the servants will choose for themselves, and the general said that he will only ask about these things. ”

"Also...... The general asked me to tell my husband a word. ”

Sun Kaidao's face turned pale and asked, "What did the general say?" ”

Chen Xiaoru said with a straight face: "The general said, thank you, sir." ”
