Chapter 575: What is a Great General?

A long talk, a few feelings.

Fang Xie felt a little relaxed when he came down from the mountain, not only guessing Luo Yao's identity, but also remembering the long conversation Xiang Qingniu had with him before leaving, Xiang Qingniu told him that Yang Qi, the Prince of Loyalty, pulled out his red eyes, so that Luo Yao lost his sense of him, presumably the same was true of King Dalun Ming.

But this did not completely reassure Fang Jie, after all, what he was going to do now was not a secret thing, where the Black Flag Army was, he would naturally be there. It is not difficult for Luo Yao to find him, unless Fang Xie also finds a place to practice his skills incognito.

Three months after arriving at Suzaku Mountain, the cottage has begun to take shape, the river has been widened, and the matter of digging another river has been handed over to the recruited migrant workers, because the reputation is very good, so Fang Xie asked people to post a notice to recruit migrant workers, and the matter of recruiting migrant workers was quickly responded, and at least 20,000 people with hoes came to sign up in just two months. At this time, the following people understood what Fang Xie was doing at the beginning, and when recruiting soldiers, all unqualified applicants were distributed with five catties of food and travel expenses to go back.

Because of this, the reputation of the Black Flag Army is exceptionally good. The people knew that the new General Fang was a good man who did what he said and loved the people, and the wages offered by the Black Flag Army were not low, so they flocked to it. After the opening of the river, the migrant workers will have to build a road on Suzaku Mountain to the plain behind the mountain, and the project is expected to be completed in less than a year.

Fang Xie took Cui Zhongzhen as the general manager, and handed over the training of recruits and the affairs of Tuntian to him. Cui Zhongzhen led the order to leave, with a team of tens of thousands of people over the Suzaku Mountain to open up the wasteland, this year has been missed, there is no summer grain harvest, but now the wasteland is started, and the wheat is planted in the autumn, and the first harvest will be ushered in in the early summer of next year.

The team began to resume training, and the generals of the various armies personally supervised it. In fact, everyone knows that the short calm will soon pass. Since everyone has chosen this path, how can they stay in Suzaku Mountain and live such a down-to-earth and stable life.

The day after a long talk with Sang Sasa, Fang Xie ordered the generals of each army to discuss in the cottage hall.

Sitting in the forehand position of the bright and wide hall, Fang Xie added a bit of majesty. Sitting on Fang Jie's left was Sanjin Hou Wu, which was specially ordered by Fang Jie, and the other people's seats were divided into two columns according to the civil and military division. The number of generals on the side is obviously larger, and in order not to appear too disparity, even the big dogs with food guards are sitting in the civil official column. More than 20 people in the ranks of military generals opened one by one, and there were less than 10 people on the civilian side.

"Chen Xiaoru"

Fang Xie saw that the people had already arrived and ordered: "Tell me about the news that the Xiao Riding School has been investigating in the past few months." ”

Chen Xiaoru hurriedly got up, took out the intelligence news that he had sorted out before, and said: "According to the general's military order, the Xiao Cavalry School has been investigating the news for the past three months. Now in Huangyang Dao, the person with the largest number of troops is Tian Xin, the general under Luo Yao, although this person is not among the top ten masters, Luo Yao also trusts him a lot, leaving him with 30,000 elite soldiers. After Luo Yao became King Yongwang in Jiangnan, he set Yongzhou as the national capital and changed his name to Yongjing. The names of the four southwestern provinces plus Huangyang Road and the five provinces have also been changed. ”

"Huangyang Daozhi changed its name to Xinyang, and Feng Tianxin was the history of Xinyang's assassination, and this person has also been recruiting, but because the people of Huangyang Dao have no good impression of Luo Yao, the recruitment is not smooth. But after all, Xinkoucang is in their hands, and there are still people who go to take refuge with grain and grass as their backing. A while ago, Tian Xin subdued several bandits, expanding by more than 10,000 people. ”

Chen Xiaoru paused for a moment and said, "Tian Xin's men and horses are the biggest force besides our Black Flag Army. In addition, Lu Chuan Gao Beidou raised a flag in Lu Chuan to rebel, pulled up a team of more than 10,000 people, not subject to Tian Xin's order, proclaimed himself the king of heaven, forcibly abducted the people into the gang, and entrenched in this place after breaking through Lu Chuan County, according to the news from the humble subordinates, Gao Beidou may have to move troops against neighboring counties in the near future. ”

"Boyang Dou Tiande, in Yazui Mountain pulled up a team of seven or eight thousand people, from time to time out to loot the township, this half a year has swept more than a dozen villages, a while ago also led troops to attack Boyang County, but because Boyang County ordered Yu Mao to form a people to resist desperately, Dou Tiande led people to besiege for more than ten days without breaking through and had to return to Yazui Mountain."

"There is a group of thieves in the Hukou Stream, about 1,000 people, it is said that the surname of the leader is Mo, but he doesn't know the name of Lu Dao, it seems to be a foreigner. This person first pulled dozens of people to be robbers in Hukou Stream, after Luo Yao left with his troops, he began to recruit troops and horses, and expanded to more than 1,000 people, different from Gao Beidou and Dou Tiande, this surname Mo seems to be from a military background, and the army is very strict, it is difficult to find out the specific strength of the Hukou Stream and his origin, the thieves under the command of this person are known as the Tiger Army, but they are presentable, rarely harass the people, and only take those rich families to open the knife. ”

Chen Xiaoru paused and said, "Huangyang Dao's current momentum is almost like this. ”

He hugged his fist and stepped back.

Fang Xie looked at Sun Kaidao, who was sitting at the top of the civil official, Sun Kaidao immediately stood up and said: "Since we want to gain a foothold in Huangyang Dao, we must fight out, the general means that if you want to make the banner of the Black Flag Army louder, there are two things that you have to do naturally." The first is to love the people, so that the people of Huangyang Road have no rejection of the Black Flag Army, and after a long time, more people will support it. Therefore, the general has ordered that this year, next year, the people who are attached to our Black Flag Army will not collect food. If our harvest in Tuntian is good next year, it can be postponed for another year. ”

"The second thing, loving the people is only one of them, and if you want the people to see the strength of our Black Flag Army, then you must fight it. After winning the battle and fighting a few more beautiful battles, the people were more convinced. The more and more people are attached to our Black Flag Army, the greater the benefits to our Black Flag Army. When the time comes, there will be people to grow grain and there will be no shortage of soldiers, and this is the plan for development. ”

He smiled and said: "Just now, General Chen has already listed all the people in Huangyang Dao who are worth beating, what does the general mean, who will try the knife first?" ”

……

……

Wu Yiyi had been sitting quietly in the chair and did not speak, and it seemed that he was even a little distracted. Fang Xie glanced at him and smiled: "Master Hou thinks, who should we do it to first?" ”

Only then did Wu Yi take back his thoughts that he didn't know where he was drifting, and the other party smiled and said, "In military affairs, I don't dare to talk nonsense." My duty is to do a good job, to buy more meat for the soldiers, to buy new clothes, and to take care of weapons and armor. Only in military affairs, I am really a layman. ”

He added a sentence meaningfully: "In fact, such a trivial matter, the general only needs to be assigned, except for Xinyang Tianxin, where are the other gangs of thieves worth the general's time to discuss?" ”

Fang Xie instantly understood what Wu Yiyi was trying to express, and he bowed his head slightly to indicate that he understood.

"In that case"

Fang Xie stood up and looked at the map, pointed to Boyang County and said: "Chen Dingnan, take the Flying Tiger Army to level Boyang Dou Tiande first, compared to several other people, this Dou Tiande endangers one side, and there is not an inch left where the thieves pass." If this matter is done well, the people of Boyang County will remember the benefits of the Black Flag Army. Remember, you have to fight simply and decisively, and you shouldn't use more than 10,000 cavalry to deal with thousands of rogue gangsters, but now we are equivalent to playing signs, so you have to make a move! ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Dingnan, the general of the Flying Tiger Army, and Su Manzi, the deputy general, immediately stood up and hugged their fists: "The subordinates will not be dishonored!" ”

After Fang Xie finished his order, he asked: "Gao Beidou, the big thief in Luchuan County, which of you is willing to fight?" ”

"My subordinates are willing to go!"

"My subordinates are willing to go!"

Several generals all stood up and clenched their fists for their lives.

Fang Xie looked at the crowd: "Gao Beidou's subordinates have used more than 10,000 thieves, and they have already occupied Luchuan County, this battle is not easy. Our foot soldiers are still training, and they can't go on the expedition, if you want to win this battle, you should lure the enemy out of the city, Xiahou Baichuan, take your men and horses, and ......"

Fang Xie looked at Cui Zhongzhen and said: "Foot soldier training, it is also beneficial to see more actual combat, General Cui can bring an army of infantry to accompany him and cooperate with Xiahou to fight." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Xiahou Baichuan and Cui Zhongzhen stood up to receive the order.

"Hmm"

Fang Xie waved his hand and said, "As for Xinyang Tianxin, Xinyang City is tall and sturdy, so don't pay attention to it for the time being." Since the news over there is not yet thorough, we will investigate more. Chen Xiaoru, you should watch this errand carefully, and don't slack off. The thieves in Huangyang Road will be eliminated, and the people can be sincerely convinced, without delay. ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

After Fang Xie finished instructing, he said: "The armies that have no war need to be trained strictly after they go back, and when the thieves in Huangyang Dao are cleared, they still have to attack the faith, and when the time comes, all the armies will have to go to battle, don't pull the team out of the army and go into battle with a knife!" ”

"Whoa!"

All the generals stood up and clenched their fists, Fang Xie nodded and said, "Then disperse and prepare." ”

The generals withdrew, Fang Xie walked back and sat down and asked Wu Yiyi: "Master Hou has something to say to me?" ”

"It's nothing."

Wu Yi stretched his waist and smiled: "The chair I am sitting on now is unstable, it will be bad if I fall." ”

He pointed to the bottom and said, "It's still flat below, why don't you move it to the bottom?" ”

Fang Xie was slightly stunned, and then said with a straight face: "Master Hou, the Black Flag Army's Vermilion Bird Mountain camp can be built, and the nine successes are all on Master Hou." Hou Ye is sitting here, and the people are also convinced, and you are a little too worried. ”

"It's not too much."

Wu Yi put away his smile and said seriously: "You should understand what I said just now, you will be the master of this Black Flag Army in the future, you have not yet adapted to how to be a decision-maker, and it is true that calling the people below to discuss everything can make the people below feel more comfortable, but in the long run, how can you establish your prestige?" In the future, you should learn to give orders directly, and don't ask the people below how they should be. They look at you, and the more decisive and direct you are, the more they respect you. ”

"Prestige lies in establishment, not in charity."

He paused and continued: "I didn't say anything about this chair when I was deliberating just now, just because in front of everyone, I want to respect you, and any word you say is a military order and cannot be violated. But you let me sit next to you, so that the people below will feel that you are friendly, but less prestigious. They obey you, but they are not afraid of you. ”

"I know that you sincerely respect me, and it is indeed because I have done something for the camp, so you will let me sit next to you and let the people below see it, and those who have meritorious deeds should be respected, which is good. But the idea is good, but the practice is extremely bad. ”

Wu Yi looked at Fang Xie and said, "The first thing you have to remember now is that you are the commander of the Black Flag Army, no matter who it is, you are your subordinate. You and I had a deep friendship at the beginning, and I did help you at the beginning, and there was a relationship with Hidden Jade...... But these are not the reasons why you asked me to sit next to you, you are the general of the Black Flag Army that no one can compare, even if it is me, I have to salute when I see you. ”

"Now that the flag has been set up, and since we have planned to take a step, we cannot lose first in these small things. The general has the demeanor of a general, and he also needs the prestige of a general. ”

After he finished speaking, Fang Xie stood up and saluted solemnly: "Thank you Master Hou for your advice!" ”

Wu Yiyi himself lifted the chair and put it in front of Sun Kaidao's seat, and smiled: "But I'm not a person who is arrogant, in terms of seniority, it's still okay for me to sit here, right?" ”

Fang Xie Ha Da smiled: "Naturally! ”

Wu Yi hummed and hugged his fists to leave. When he walked to the door, he suddenly stood up again, turned around and smiled at the other party: "You have too many things to do these days, and I haven't met Yinyu twice, I didn't want to talk about your affairs, but she has known that you have worked hard these days, and she deliberately learned to make dumplings, and her face was covered with flour all day long...... I've never enjoyed this kind of treatment as a father...... Alas! ”

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and then asked curtly, "Do you have dumplings to eat tonight?" ”

Wu Yi glanced at him, and then nodded: "Yes!" ”
