The army marched forward in a hurry, and in April it had come to the territory of Xiushan County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Further southwest from here is Yang Yizhen's rebel forces.

Along the way, but in the secluded paths of the mountains, the original silence and comfort, the camellia full of roads have long been gone, and most of them are refugees in ragged clothes and yellow muscles.

Yang Yizhen launched the White Barbarian Forces, and the army was huge, and it really swept the southwest, destroying countless families.

Gao Shengtai's armor was distinct, looking at Fang Ming, his face seemed to be unbearable, and his heart was even more relaxed: "Brother Chun is really the same ...... before"

Before leaving, naturally a few elders told him earnestly, but now it seems that most of those worries are superfluous.

The army entered Xiushan City all the way, and the people on both sides were suffering from the war, and when they heard that the Duan Heavenly Soldiers were here, they cheered and ate pot pulp, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

"Dali Duan's hundred years of holding the country, after all, it is still somewhat useful!"

Even if there are powerful ministers stealing the country, but the righteous name, after all, it has a little effect, plus the Dali several generations of monarchs to worship the Buddha, is a pious Buddha, plain love the people, and the reputation of the people is excellent.

"It's a pity! That's all there is to it......"

Fang Ming, who felt that there was not much tonic for the martial arts, sighed secretly: "The people's qi is extremely thin, but it is much weaker than the military qi, after all, in this world, it is still the one who holds the power to hold the power!" ”

There is no need to look at the small people who rejoiced at him at this time, but after Yang Yizhen has been in trouble for a long time and caused more people to die, today's cheers and admiration will turn into hatred and slander!

The people's hearts are changeable, and Fang Ming has quite a good understanding of it.

But on the surface, Fang Ming was compassionate, and suddenly saw a few ragged refugees on the side of the road, and tears fell like rain, and he immediately turned over and dismounted, and put a bright red coat on the other party: "Old man...... It is the fault of righteousness and purity, and it is ...... for you to suffer from this."

Clothed by him was an old man on the side of the road, with limbs like skeletons, almost like a corpse, not to mention how filthy and foul his body was.

At this time, the other party slowly turned his head, and on his face that was crisscrossing the ravines, his cloudy eyes actually had a glow, turning into two lines of tears.

"Lord!"

Ba Tianshi immediately helped the old man up, and ordered someone to place it properly, and gave him money, rice and other things.

When the onlookers saw this, they all knew that Duan Zhengchun, the commander of the expedition, was a benevolent person, and they were grateful to him for this, and they all cheered.

"Big Brother ......"

Gao Shengtai was still young after all, and he was also frightened by Fang Ming, with tears in his eyes.

"Why is the common people innocent?"

Fang Ming's eyes were blood-red, and his voice was choked: "Yang Thief is fierce and innocent, it's all my fault!" ”

"You don't have to ......" Gao Shengtai wiped his eyes, and just wanted to persuade Fang Ming to focus on the overall situation, he waved his hand: "You don't have to persuade anymore, I am ready to bring 10,000 logistics soldiers to treat refugees, and I want them to live after all......"

"But Yang Yizhen?"

Gao Shengtai was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

"I've made up my mind!" Fang Ming's face was very firm, and he immediately smiled again: "Brother Tai, what do you think of this Xiushan City?" ”

Gao Shengtai pondered for a while and said: "The city is high and deep, and the city is united, even if there are only 10,000 troops, it is enough to deal with the Yang thief!" ”

"Not bad! If you want to break the city, you need at least five times the troops, I will hand over the rest of the army, including most of the Imperial Forest and Shence, and you will sit in Xiushan and block Yang Yizhen, how about it? ”

"Twenty thousand, me?"

Gao Shengtai's face was surprised, but the generals of the Gao family behind him glanced at each other, and they all looked happy.

The first military merit in ancient times!

There is a city on his side, and there are 20,000 troops, including local miscellaneous soldiers, and he can break through 30,000 people! If there are enough troops and food and grass, if there is no army of tens of thousands, accumulated over the years, it will not be able to break through, and even after the opponent's soldiers are exhausted, there is still hope for a big break!

And Yang Yizhen's army is only 50,000! As long as you keep it, it's a great achievement!

Such a rare achievement, Fang Ming didn't want it?

Not to mention, these 20,000 troops are all elites, and they are the last foundation of the Duan family, if they can control it, it is somewhat possible to directly usurp the throne in the future!

Therefore, seeing that such a thing that was extremely beneficial to advance and retreat, those generals had already slapped Gao Shengtai wildly and asked him to agree.

"Brother Chun?"

Gao Shengtai is also a smart person, he always feels that Duan Zhengchun is too good to him, and he is even more sorry in his heart.

"It doesn't have to be like this, let's hand it over as soon as possible!"

Who knows what Fang Ming is thinking?

This Gao Shengtai was originally the person who pacified Yang Yizhen, and his military talent was outstanding, and Fang Ming asked him to lead the troops, just to make the best use of it!

And it seems like a small thing to collect the displaced people, but it is actually a great thing!

Yang Yizhen is a white barbarian, and now he is rebelling, and he naturally oppresses the Han people in the jurisdiction and even other Dali tribes, resulting in a large number of fugitives.

These people who have nothing are the treasures in Fang Ming's eyes!

As long as they are saved in times of danger, it is a great grace, and those who can escape here are mostly strong, as long as the nutrition keeps up, and with more training, it will be a strong army!

What's even better is that this army is Fang Ming's real private soldiers, and there are only the King of Zhennan and the general of the Baoguo in his eyes, as for the Duan family, the Gao family, and the Yang family...... What's that?

In this way, as long as Fang Ming leads the army again, destroys Yang Yizhen, and establishes supreme prestige, the foundation will be solid, and with this army in hand, it will be logical to live on the throne of Emperor Ming in the next step.

It's just that at this time, who can see so far?

Fang Ming lowered his eyelids, revealing a silent smile.

……

Time flies.

It's September in the blink of an eye.

The grass grows and the warbler flies, the grain is fruitful, and there is a harvest scene everywhere.

However, in Dali, the rebellion set off by Yang Yizhen is intensifying.

After Xiushan County, the danger is obstructed.

It is no longer known when a large camp was erected, and every day the homeless people kept entering, being given thin porridge, clothing, and raising the old and weak.

Many refugees who were no longer humane entered the camp, holding fragrant white porridge and crying loudly, kowtowing to Fang Ming's handsome tent.

The homeless people, who have already rested and regained some energy, are in the second round of selection, and all the strong men are in the army, and the whole camp is constantly training.

The old and young were moved to the back camp, doing what they could, and even opened a school, and occasionally there was a faint sound of immature reading.

In the real barracks, there are three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the samurai with bright armor patrols back and forth, their eyes vigilant.

Inside the tent, there were bursts of crying:

"Handsome! The Yang thieves attacked the city in a hurry, and a few days ago, they drove the refugees, and the ants attached themselves to the inner city...... Although it was finally repulsed, our army suffered heavy casualties, and more than a thousand were killed, and casualties were everywhere. ”

On the main seat, Fang Ming's face sank like water, and the majesty on his body was strong, but as soon as he raised his eyebrows, this envoy of the Gao family did not dare to say any more.

"You say this, Ben Shuai knows!"

Fang Ming seemed to groan: "It's a pity that Ben Shuai's side is also a heavy matter, Xingxi has already raised a sum of grain and grass, and he can send it to the virtuous brother immediately, you tell him, please be sure to hold on for another five days, after five days, reinforcements will arrive......"

Looking at the back of the Gao family's envoy, Fang Ming showed a sneer.

"Now that I found out that something is wrong, I must be very unwilling, right?"

In the past six months, Yang Yizhen has frantically attacked the city, Gao Shengtai has tried his best to resist, and the real foundation on both sides has been grinded out.

At least, now, Fang Ming already had a clear account in his heart.

The generals in Xiushan City, those who are the descendants of the Gao family, those who are just marginal, and those who are neutral, are already clear, and the rest can be co-opted.

Those people of the Gao family never dreamed that Fang Ming was willing to put the elite of the Duan family with them in Xiushan City to spend it!

Fifty wounded today, one hundred dead tomorrow, and in the event of a big war, there are thousands of casualties, which one can support it?

And Fang Ming has always been stuck, and there is relief of grain, grass and ordnance from time to time, but there are really not many reinforcements.

After these three times, by the time autumn came, the besieging side and the defending side were exhausted.

Just from Yang Yizhen's tendency to be homeless and the ants to attack the city, it can be seen that he is really in a hurry, and even his family is about to run out, so he will do such a heartbreaking thing!

He must be very unwilling!

If you are blocked here, you can't get enough supplies, and you are losing money by attacking the city, how long can you hold on?

As everyone knows, in this way, it can only make other clansmen more disheartened, and drive more forces to their side.

"It's almost time to end this farce!"

Fang Ming clapped his hands, and several other young people rushed in, civilian, official, and military generals, all of whom were extraordinary, and Hua Hegen and others were also among them, but their attitudes were even more respectful.

"Well, Yu Fan...... How's our business going? ”

Fang Ming looked at the young man with a delicate face, with a shrewd look between his eyebrows, wearing finely forged silk and a golden copper coin ornament, and asked in a deep voice.

"Thanks to the prince's Hongfu, the merchant collected 5,000 grates of tea last month and transported it to Tibet, which is enough to exchange for 500 high-quality war horses!"

Yu Fan stepped out of the queue unhurriedly, and said in a clear voice.

"Yes, this matter is about the fortunes of the country, and it matters! You hold my order arrows, and if any of the officials along the way dare to stop them, they will directly transfer troops and kill them! ”

Fang Ming's face flashed with anger.

This blood transfusion line is just too important.

If he wants to collect the displaced people and form a large army, he needs money! But where does the money come from?

After the chaos in Dali, the treasury has long been empty, but there is still some savings, Duan Shouhui can rest assured that they will all be handed over to him?

Therefore, it is necessary to make your own money! This point is the most important for Fang Ming, who is determined to be self-reliant and has the heart of the Ninth Five-Year Plan!

Only by grasping military power and financial power will it not be held back, and it will be the real capital to do any big things in the future!

In this regard, Fang Ming had a plan early in the morning, and he had a move as soon as he arrived in Xiushan County. (To be continued.) )
