Chapter 569: The Tao is not the same

The route taken by Fang Xie and his troops was almost the same as when he came from the south of Yishui with the Shanzi battalion. It's just that if the brigade wants to go to the southwest, it is impossible to cross Mangdang Mountain again. Therefore, it is necessary to go far away from the Lu, and take the confluence of Yishui and the Yangtze River, which is the place where Fang Xie went to Yongzhou to cross the river to the south.

How to cross the river is already a matter that must be considered now.

Fang Xie had already sent Chen Xiaoru to leave early, but no one knew what Chen Xiaoru was going to do. On the other hand, they did not have a pontoon bridge equipped with the Great Sui soldiers, so there were only two options to cross the river, either to gather enough boats, or to send a team of people to the river in advance, cut down trees to build a wooden bridge, but the river at the confluence of Yishui and the Yangtze River was too wide, and the idea of building a wooden bridge was simply unrealistic.

Sun Kaidao has been thinking about how to cross the river for the past few days, but Fang Xie doesn't seem to be worried at all.

He held back for several days, and finally couldn't help but go to Fang Xie to ask.

"The general has only been reading in the carriage these days, so why is he not worried about crossing the river at all?"

Fang Xie couldn't help but smile when he saw the urgency on his face: "You are a person, few people can compare with you in the overall situation, and I can't see the general direction." But you're not a qualified logistical manager, and there are small things you rarely think about. Since I have already made up my mind to go to Huangyang Dao, I naturally have some arrangements. ”

He took out a letter from behind him and handed it to Sun Kaidao, Sun Kaidao hurriedly took it with both hands and looked at it, and then laughed: "General, you can really hide it!" There is such a backup, if you had told your subordinates earlier, how could your subordinates not even sleep well these days. ”

Fang explained: "In terms of military affairs, I naturally have to think more. You have the talent of a prime minister, but you are a little worse in military affairs. After arriving at Huangyang Road, you need to manage the recruitment of soldiers to support the people. ”

Sun Kaidao said ashamedly: "It was his subordinates who tried their best to persuade the general to move his army south, but after leaving the grassland, there were many arrangements, but the subordinates had no way, but the general had no last resort to prepare it early." The subordinates are ashamed of the general's kindness......"

His heart was full of worry...... At the beginning, he followed Fang Jie, thinking that his own theory was definitely above Fang Jie, but now it seems that Fang Xie is becoming more and more unfathomable, and everything has been arranged early. Although Fang Xie didn't say anything, if he continued like this, what use did Fang Xie want to do? As soon as he thought of this, a sense of crisis immediately appeared in his heart, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his back.

All along, he felt that Fang Xie couldn't do without himself. But now...... He found that if he didn't work harder, Fang Xie praised his talent as a prime minister, but he was afraid that it would become a ridicule.

"Where's that?"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Everyone has their own expertise, and in every battle, you give me advice." Set a place, and you will appease one side for me. I am not as good as you in these things. That's why I said that you are a prime minister and not a general, and if you have to blame yourself for something you don't know, you are vain. ”

Sun Kaidao bowed his head: "The lesson of the general is that his subordinates must keep it in mind. ”

"Hmm"

Fang explained: "You came just in time, I was just about to find someone to invite you to go...... You see......"

Fang Xie unfolded the map, which was the map he sent to collect and sort out when he was in Huangyang Road, and the people in the Xiao Riding School collected it and redrew it, which was much more detailed than the map issued by the Great Sui Imperial Court.

As Wu Yiyi said, in fact, few people really understand how delicate and serious Fang Xie is. He was always ready to prepare, even if many of them were not needed, but he didn't think it was a waste of time and energy.

For example, repairing Fan Gucheng did not come in handy in the end, but Fang Xie didn't think that it was done in vain.

When he was in Huangyang Dao, Fang Xie seemed to only train the Shanzi Camp every day, but in fact, he secretly sent people from Feiyu robes to explore the people's hearts and terrain, because at that time, Fang Xie was already planning to establish a foundation in Huangyang Dao in the future. That's why Wu Yiyi managed to gradually transfer most of his workshop to Zhuque Mountain on Huangyang Road, and what was left in Chang'an City was just a garment workshop.

"This is Suzaku Mountain."

Fang Xie pointed and said, "If nothing else, the people I arranged in advance have already built a cottage here." It is at least seven or eight hundred miles away from Huangyang Daozhi, although it is in a hurry, so the construction of the cottage may only be a little rudimentary, but it is better than handling it after we arrive. ”

Sun Kaidao then remembered: "General Cui Zhongzhen was ordered to go south, is he supervising the construction of a cottage?" ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Yes, I asked him to take someone to Huangyang Dao at the beginning, originally to find out the whereabouts of Luo Yao's department. Later, after thinking about it, after Luo Yao left, Huangyang Road was a vacuum place, and it was indeed a place where he could stand on it. So he didn't let him come back, he chose Suzaku Mountain, and asked him to lead a team of people to pretend to be robbers, forcing the big families in the neighborhood to move away, so that people didn't dare to approach easily, and then build a camp on the mountain. ”

"My subordinates understood."

Sun Kaidao thought for a while and said: "The general asked General Cui to pretend to be a bandit to scare the people nearby, and then with the help of people like Sanjin Hou, there must be no shortage of craftsmen, and with the ability to travel through the world, it is not too difficult to build a cottage on the mountain." ”

Fang Xie nodded: "What I want to ask you is, how should we develop after we arrive at Vermilion Bird Mountain?" Although Vermilion Bird Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, it can be a temporary place to stay, but it can only be a group of big horse thieves without development. ”

"To the Southwest"

Sun Kaidao pointed to the southwest of Zhuque Mountain and said: "The south of Zhuque Mountain is the southwesternmost place of Huangyang Road, because there is little contact with the outside world across the mountain, but it is a fertile field that stretches for thousands of miles, and it is just because it is surrounded by the mountain, so few people pay attention to it." But because of the traffic blockage here, there are almost no people, and it is almost an enclave for the Great Sui, and there is not even a county...... If you are tuning fields here, let the newly recruited soldiers train while planting the fields. ”

"It's like a leek......"

Sun Kaidao gestured, with excitement on his face: "I have trained a group of soldiers and planted several seasons of grain." And so on and so forth. ”

Fang Xie looked at the flying look on Sun Kaidao's face and smiled in his heart, he couldn't see that the southwest of Vermilion Bird Mountain was a good place, and the first batch of people to go were already clearing the wasteland. He just didn't want Sun Kaidao to lose his self-confidence, this person was a usable talent, and if it was because he felt that he was inferior to Fang Xie everywhere, then this talent would be over.

……

……

If there are still people in the northwest who dare to stop 70,000 cavalry armed to the teeth, and there is a huge contingent of no less than 10,000 people recruited along the way, then it can only be said that it is definitely not a warrior who dares to do this, but a fool. And the most bizarre thing is that there really are such people in this world.

When the team passed through the original western camp of Li Yuanshan's rebels, the cavalry rangers who opened the way were actually stopped by a group of bandits. There has always been no shortage of people in the boundary of Hou Wushan, but it is really impressive to be on this one. This group of bandits, which numbered in thousands, may have just seen the hundreds of cavalry opening the way, thinking that it was a lone army, and after stopping on the official road, they shouted that they could let the cavalry survive by handing over their weapons and horses, but the hundreds of cavalry ignored them.

These bandits were annoyed, and they refused to get out of the way when they stopped on the official road. Look at the shelf, this is consumed.

outcome

When the endless cavalry team drove from behind, I don't know how many of the thieves in the road were scared to pee their pants. Anyway, the bearded man who thought he was brave was so frightened that he weakened his legs, and the younger brother in the back wanted to run, but was all carried back by the rangers.

For these bandits, Fang Xie didn't even try it, and directly approved a word.

kill

The cavalry pounced like wolves and slaughtered in the valley. It seems that except for young people under the age of twenty and the elderly over the age of fifty, the rest of the one is not left and all are chopped.

Zhuo Buyi was a little puzzled, Zhuo Buyi, who had been thinking hard about Prince Zhong's words to him these days, rarely came out and walked around, and he was a little unbearable after hearing that Fang Xie ordered the slaughter of the bandits, so he boarded Fang Jie's carriage.

"Awareness"

Zhuo Buyi sat down opposite Fang Jie, was silent for a while, and said, "I think you have been getting more and more angry recently, although those bandits are the one who is in trouble, they may not all deserve to die. Even though you let go of the teenagers and the old people, you still killed too much. I know that most of those people are the rebels under Li Yuanshan at the beginning, and they also have a lot of blood debts in their hands, but I still feel that it is too hasty to kill people like this. ”

Fang Xie smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

"I know what Mr. means, you are afraid that I will lose my heart because I am too bloody."

"Yes"

Zhuo Buyi nodded.

Fang Xie pushed the hot tea to him, thought for a while and said, "Sir, what do you think I am going to do?" ”

Zhuo Buyi was stunned: "Although I don't participate in the affairs of the army, I also know that you have to open up a party now." With so many generals under your command, you can't do it even if you don't have the mind. I just feel like there will be less killing. ”

Fang Xie said slowly: "Sir is wrong, I may not have had this intention before, but now I must have." My husband thought I was being too angry, but I did it on purpose. The gentleman did not like military affairs, nor did he like temple disputes. But Sir is clear-minded, and should be able to see what my soldiers lack most now. ”

"What ...... is missing"

Zhuo Buyi shook his head after thinking about it: "The soldiers are full of food, I don't know what Lu Dao lacks." ”

"Lack of Killing Intent"

Fang Xie said seriously: "Sir, I may not have thought about what kind of road I am going to take. I led my troops to kill the northern barbarians who didn't provoke me at all, in order to cultivate the murderous spirit of the soldiers. I just ordered the killing of most of the bandits, but to make the soldiers feel this murderous aura. I had to get them used to one thing...... Whoever stands in front of him will be killed. Without such murderous intent, then trying to open up a side is just a joke. What's the use of me having 100,000 troops? They don't dare to raise their knives, no matter how well they train, it's meaningless. ”

"Now I let them see more blood, so that they can fight with real knives and guns on the battlefield in the future, and they are not afraid of blood. If I had been more ruthless, I wouldn't have ordered the teenagers and the old men to be let go first. Soldiers are the most ferocious weapons in the world, and I have to raise some more fierce energy! ”

Zhuo Buyi was silent, and then nodded: "I really haven't thought about this, and I really don't understand this. Maybe you're right, but it's a bit hard for me to get used to. I see what you mean, the more fierce the soldiers are, the better their chances of surviving on the battlefield in the future. ”

"Yes"

Fang Xie nodded.

"I'm leaving."

Zhuo Buyi was silent for a while, and then said: "Conquering the world is indeed not what I thought. ”

Fang Xie frowned slightly, sat up straight and asked, "Where is Mr. going?" ”

"Qingle Mountain"

He smiled: "Actually, even if there is no such thing as today, I still have to leave." My heart is in the mountains, and in the army, my heart will only become more and more chaotic. I was quite touched by Prince Zhong's words that day, so I planned to go to Yiqiguan to borrow Taoist classics, hoping to benefit from it. You lead the troops to cultivate murderous qi, and I will go to enlightenment to cultivate calm qi. ”

Fang Xie thought about it, took off a decorative jade pendant from his body, and then took a pen and wrote a few words on the jade pendant. The power of heaven and earth Yuan Qi forced the ink into the jade, and those small words were clearly visible but indelible.

Gift to the mentor and friend of Enlightenment

Fang Xie solemnly saluted: "May Mr. succeed as soon as possible." ”

Mr. Zhuo took the jade plaque and smiled freely: "Your way is in the country, my way is in manpower, you and I are both practicing in order to achieve the Tao, but the road ahead is different." Although you and I are destined to part ways, we are friends forever. Say something auspicious...... May Chang'an City see you again. ”

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and then bowed solemnly.
