Chapter 751: Leave one behind

The granary divided the grain and cut off the heads, and the people were not only happy but also frightened, but at this time they really understood what it meant to be true to their words, and Fang Xie reasoned with grain and knives, and this reason is that I have no other requirements for you, just listen to me.

Those who were beheaded were treated differently, and those soldiers who fought to the death ordered a thick burial, and then distributed a very generous bereavement to each family. While this is unlikely to soothe the grief and anger of the families of the deceased, it is the right thing to do. As for the corpses of those scoundrels, they were all pulled out of the city, and they were thrown into a ravine and thrown to the wild beasts.

When it comes to Fang Jie's next attack on the city, perhaps no one thinks that the time to break the city is an opportunity to make a fortune.

"General!"

Halfway back to the City Lord's Mansion, Nie Xiaoju walked over quickly: "Fu Zhengnan left, only took his family with him, and left the city just after dawn." ”

He handed the things in his hand to Fang Jie: "Left two letters." ”

Fang Xie took the envelope and looked at it, the first one was for him, and the second envelope was written on it for Zhu Baotian, the lord of Fengping City.

Fang Xie opened the envelope and looked at it, then couldn't help but smile.

The letter to him didn't say anything, not even thank you. To the effect that Fu Zhengnan himself felt very strange, why he lost to Fang Xie and had no resentment. He told Fang Xie that there were a group of foreigners in Dali City, with a lot of firearms, and in order to deal with him, Murong Yan recruited a large number of Jianghu guests, including many great cultivators. He said that although he didn't have a good impression of Fang Jie, he felt that it was a pity that someone like Fang Xie died, so he warned him to be more careful. Murong is ruthless and cunning, so it's better not to take it lightly.

He mentioned that the letter to Zhu Baotian was to persuade Zhu Baotian. He and Zhu Zhutian are not friends, but they still have some friendship, and I hope that if Zhu Zhutian surrenders, Fang Xie can also give Zhu Zhutian's family a good home.

Fang Xie looked at the letter to Zhu Baotian and didn't open it.

"Is Dugu Wenxiu almost here?"

He asked suddenly.

Nie Xiaoju thought for a while and said: "Yesterday, I asked the people from the Xiao Riding School, Dugu should have arrived in Yongzhou, and he will be able to catch up with the army in six or seven days at most." ”

Fang Xie sighed: "Can't wait for him, go and ask the military Chinese officer, who can imitate other people's handwriting, find me." In addition, he ordered the Flying Leopard Army, the Flying Lion Army and Qin Yuan's infantry to all withdraw from the city, leaving only Chen Dingnan's men and horses in the city. The evacuated men and horses still put on a siege posture, blocking the surrounding roads, and not allowing a single person to go in the direction of Fengping. ”

Nie Xiaoju was puzzled: "General, why is this?" ”

"Deception"

Fang Xie dropped two words, and then went back to the City Lord's Mansion to rest. According to his orders, the Black Flag Army Brigade, which had only entered the city for less than a day, withdrew from the city and continued to line up in the north of the city to pose as if they were about to attack the city at any time. He went back to sleep for a long time, got up and washed a mandarin duck with Mu Xiaowaist, and ate something, the civil officials found by Nie Xiaoju were already waiting outside, there were more than a dozen people.

Fang Xie took out the letter that Fu Zhengnan left for him and let the civil officials read it: "Imitate Fu Zhengnan's handwriting and write it, if it doesn't look like it once, write it a few more times, and whoever thinks it's already very similar can show it to me." ”

Those civil officials didn't know what the general was doing, but they did it immediately, and no one dared to ask anything indiscriminately. For a while, more than a dozen people in the room were sitting precariously, writing with a pen. It took half an hour before someone got up with a copied letter and handed it to Fang Jie, who looked at it carefully and shook his head slightly, signaling that the person could leave.

"General, I think this person has imitated a lot of it?"

The Kirin standing beside him asked in a low voice.

"It's very similar, but it's just a sudden look very similar, and there are subtle differences between the pen strokes, where is this person doing things?"

"In the baggage camp, it is the accounting."

"I'm so anxious to express myself."

Fang Xie shook his head: "This person can't be reused, write down his name, and remind me when I am assessed in the future." He was the first to get up and show me, not because he was confident, but because he was afraid that he would fall behind others......"

Fang Xie pointed to it, there was a word on the copied letter that was written incorrectly, obviously in a hurry, and he didn't even comb and check it himself.

"Eager for quick success, lest you fall behind. This person's personality is not even suitable for accounting, so he will go back and arrange for him to go to Wei Xiting's subordinates, and let Wei Xiting find an errand for him. ”

Qilin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, why can't he see so many things? But after thinking about it, what the general said did make sense. This person should be anxious to show himself, afraid that others will be the first to hand in and steal the limelight, and a person with such a character is really not suitable for doing accounts in the baggage camp.

After another half an hour, imitation letters were handed in one after another. Fang Xie Zai looked at it carefully for a while, and chose three of them to imitate the most similar people to stay.

"Re-prepare the paper, pen and ink, and use the things in Fu Zhengnan's study."

After the three of them were ready, Fang Xie instructed: "I'll come and write it, and you can't make a mistake in a single word." You don't have to deliberately pursue neatness one stroke at a time, it's better to be a little hasty and messy. ”

Then he started talking, and the three of them started writing, and everyone was nervous.

Hearing that the Qilin finally understood what the general was going to do, they couldn't help but praise it from their hearts. After the three of them wrote it a few times, Fang Xie selected the most similar one from it, did not put it in the envelope, folded it directly and handed it to Chen Xiaoru: "Send a capable man, put on the clothes and costumes of Fu Zhengnan's personal soldiers, select a horse from Fu Zhengnan's defeated army to rush to Fengping, and hand the letter to Zhu Baotian." The letter should be kept close to you, and you should rush over it as soon as possible, and don't care if the sweat gets the letter wet, it's best if it's wet. ”

"Whoa"

Chen Xiaoru responded and hurriedly ordered someone to do it.

"Go and invite all the Xiao Riding Schools that were hidden in Qingyuan City before, and I'm going to invite them to eat and drink. Yesterday I asked you where they are. ”

"It's all clear!"

"Send people, and each household will send 1,000 taels of silver, ten horses of brocade, and each household will be divided into 100 acres of xun land. Things are delivered directly to their homes. ”

Fang Xie said lightly: "If you have merit, you should be rewarded, and you will be rewarded heavily." ”

Yangtze

Changfeng Town Ferry

The carriage stopped a few hundred meters from the ferry, and the old man jumped down, pulled up the hat he was wearing, and looked over to the ferry. Perhaps because of the war, there were very few people at the ferry, and there was a row of ferries waiting for work to be done by the river, which seemed to be orderly, and after the first boat was offshore, the second boat would go over and stop at the trestle, and the boats returning from the south bank would consciously line up to the end.

There was no robbery, and on the idle ferry, several fishermen got together to chat.

On the other side of the trestle, there seemed to be a large group of people waiting to cross the river, haggling with the boatman. It looks like a noble family, with a hundred and ten people. There were no official boats at the ferry, only small boats, and these people had to cross the river by at least four or five boats. Because of the fierce battle between the imperial army and Luo Tu's rebels, after Luo Tu was defeated and retreated, he brought all the big ships along the coast to Jiangnan, and the official ferries were probably robbed.

But even as the war continued, the people along the coast still had to eat, so the ferrymen were still taking over the work.

In troubled times, the order can be so good, which is really impressive.

"The carriage is going to stay in Jiangbei, and there are no big ships. We can't just cross the river to the past, we have to charter a boat to go upstream, until the confluence of the Huangniu River and the Yangtze River and then go south, I don't know if anyone is willing to pick up such a long distance. ”

The old man said to the carriage.

A very beautiful hand stretched out from the carriage, with slender and white fingers, and a jade plaque in the palm of his hand.

"This is the only thing I brought out, it should be worth a lot of silver, and if it is exchanged, it will be enough for a family for ten years, it should be enough."

It was Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Great Sui, who spoke.

The old man was Xi Yanqing, a teacher at the Yanwu Academy, and he looked at the jade card: "Gold in troubled times, treasure in prosperous times, this thing boatman doesn't know the goods." ”

He asked, "Boy surnamed Xie, I don't believe you didn't have any money with you." ”

The young man in the carriage who was looking down at the book smiled and handed over the package beside him: "I am from the Xie family, and I lack everything, except silver." The silver in this bag is enough to buy all the ferries in this ferry, and if you want, hire one for us to ride, and hire ten more to play with. ”

"Show off?"

Yan Qing glanced at the carriage, and unceremoniously took the package, which was extremely heavy, obviously a lot.

He walked towards the ferry, and before he could ask if anyone was willing to take on a big job, he saw a young man riding an old ox in the distance, who was black and ugly, and carried a bamboo pole with a large piece of fresh meat hanging from it.

……

……

On a small boat

The faces of the few people sitting were not good-looking.

Yang Qinyan looked at them, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

The white-eyed young woman sat closest to her, and it seemed that she was the calmest among the others, but Yang Qinyan could see it very clearly, and the white-eyed young woman's hand had been trembling slightly. It was a pair of hands that could smash a sturdy stone bridge down, and Yang Qinyan didn't doubt the power of these hands at all, because she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

The old man sitting opposite, Yan Qing, did not tremble, but his face was as white as paper. He has a habit of keeping his left hand in the cuff all the time, and that's because he has a deerskin pouch in the left cuff, and the hidden weapon comes from here. Now the deerskin bag was left at his feet, deflated, and empty.

The handsome young scholar wrapped his right hand in a handkerchief, blood seeping out from under the handkerchief, and his tiger's mouth cracked. At his feet was his sword, but it was only half as long as it was, and the upper half of the sword body didn't know where it went, and the remaining broken sword looked so helpless at this time, Yang Qinyan remembered the sound of the long sword like a dragon's roar, and remembered the big tree that was cut off by the person who flicked the blade of the sword, but now it was the sword that was broken.

Three people, to a teenager riding a bull.

Defeated

"Thank you!"

The white-eyed young woman glanced at the village girl who was holding the boat, and said thank you very solemnly.

"It's useless to thank me, if that kid riding a bull really has the intention to kill, I can't stop it even if I make a move. My cultivation is not stronger than you, even if he suddenly makes a surprise to him, but even if you and I join forces, we may not be able to stop it. He didn't do his best, and you should be able to tell that. ”

"I think I've seen you."

The young scholar looked at the village girl and said, "In Fang Jie's shop? ”

"Yes"

The village girl nodded.

Her name is Du Hongxian

She is Su Tugou's wife.

She has lived in Jiangnan for several years, and since Prince Yi rebelled, she left Chang'an and stayed on the banks of the Yangtze River, the reason why those ferries are so well-behaved is because she is. At the beginning, the old dean Wan Xingchen had a sword on the Yangtze River that pierced Luo Yao's golden body for 700 miles, and she was the one who buried the old dean.

"Why wouldn't he want to do it?"

The white-eyed young woman muttered.

Yang Qinyan's heart tightened, and he suddenly thought of the look that the young man riding the bull looked at him when he left. The look was complicated, but the faint kindness that she couldn't understand was so clear. It's like an elder looking at his own child, it's hard to understand.

The banks of the Yangtze River

The ironclad general glanced at the tiger with some injuries on his shoulder: "You lost?" ”

Flutter Tiger shook his head: "I didn't lose, but I didn't win either." ”

The ironclad general was silent for a while and then nodded: "Let's go, let's go, a girl, it's no big deal." As I said, I have to keep someone for the Yang family. ”
