Chapter 374: Coming and going
Again went southwest, but not according to the previous path.
This time, Ziqin came to the western part of Zhejiang first, and at this time, Fang La had already begun to seek the position of the head of the Ming Sect.
What kind of character is this generation of heroes, since the last time the Seven Buddhas brought back Ziqin's words, but they made this hero ponder for a long time, the northwest, that is naturally not comparable to the land south of the Yangtze River.
It's just that Fang La is not the person who is greedy for enjoyment.
Emperors have always ruled the world from the north to the south, but they have never heard of the world from the south to the north.
Although the northwest is poor and backward, the Xiliang region has been a place of elite soldiers since ancient times, and if it is here, Kong has the hope of dominating the world.
Mingjiao, the chief rudder, Fang La looked at the map and was silent, his fingers slowly crossed the map, from the southwest down, Shuzhong, secondly, Guanzhong, only to be able to stand firm, only, not to be a foreigner.
Slight footsteps sounded, and Xiao Qi came to Fang La's side.
"Brother Thirteen."
Xiao Qi shouted respectfully, the news he brought back made Fang La ponder for a long time, he himself understood how important that matter was, and promised, they needed to leave this base camp and go to the original helm of the Ming Sect, which was equivalent to starting from scratch.
However, if he didn't agree, how strong was You Tanzhi's martial arts, but it was impossible for Mingjiao at this time to withstand the onslaught of the six gates under the leadership of You Tanzhi.
"The northwest is also a good place."
Fang La suddenly spoke, and without waiting for Fang Qi Buddha to say anything, his finger slowly pointed to the two places on the map that were immediately to the northwest.
"Guanzhong, the founding place of the Great Qin Empire and the Tang Empire. In Shuzhong, the founding place of the Han Empire, we only need to completely occupy the northwest, so these two places are taken as we wish. ”
The origin of the heroes has its own unique place, and it is not without reason that Fang La in history was able to occupy many cities after the uprising.
However, the lack of allies in the historical Fangla, coupled with the extremely strong combat strength of the Western army at that time, was finally extinguished The flames of the uprising were finally extinguished.
However, at the moment. Those allies that Ziqin sought for Fang La. and the new strategic location that Fang La came up with, but it made Fang La's vision more long-term.
Northwest, that's a good place.
In fact, Mingjiao was by no means without roots in that place, if it were not for the rise of Islam (fictional. No wonder. Historically, the religion of Northwest China has been extremely complex. Almost every ethnic minority has its own sect, and the rise and fall of these ethnic minorities also determines the rise and fall of the Northwest sect. I'm afraid that Mingjiao will not move to this land south of the Yangtze River.
However, it was the rise of Islam that Mingjiao still had its own roots there, and after Li Yuanhao became emperor, the northwest actually ceased to be the dominant situation of one clan.
After Zhang Yuan and other Han people grasped real power in the northwest, with the formal establishment of Western Xia and the strengthening of national strength, the northwest was secretly complicated.
"Let's go back to the northwest."
Fang La's voice suddenly sounded firmly, he is not a party clan, he is a Han nationality, as long as he takes the northwest, then there will be a chance to go south.
In fact, whether it is the Dangxiang tribe in the northwest of the Western Xia, or the Khitan tribe in the north, if they could get rid of their murderous temperament in the early years, I am afraid that they would have succeeded in going south long ago.
It's just that the grass valley and the looting of the border passes have done too much, but it has made these two ethnic groups and the Han people form too much hatred, so unless these two ethnic groups are really strong enough to be like the Mengyuan and Manchu Qing in later generations, and there are natural and man-made disasters that are rare in thousands of years in the Central Plains, it will be difficult to lay down the Middle Earth.
However, Fang La is different, he is a Han Chinese, once he takes the northwest land, he is a hero of the Han people, at this time it is only a little more than a hundred years since Zhao Kuangyin founded the country, to put it mildly, the word Great Song has not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Especially the loss of the Northwest and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Han people are in the weakest period in history, at this time, if there is a Han hero who rises strongly, occupies the Northwest, takes Dali, and recovers the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, I am afraid that there is no need to fight again, and the entire Northern Song Dynasty will immediately fall apart.
When Ziqin Fang entered northern Zhejiang, he was discovered by the disciples of the Ming Sect, and then he was invited by Fang La.
For this invitation, Ziqin did not shirk at all.
In Ziqin's view, the Northern Song Dynasty perished in history, saying that the Jin State was strong, it was better to say that the Jin State picked up a big bargain, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fang La rebelled, and the Western Army was ordered to quell the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, but this level was the disappearance of the entire Western Army.
After the Fangla uprising was quelled by the Western Army, the Northern Song Dynasty royal family felt that they were not safe, so they did an extremely stupid thing, separated the Western Army, stationed on the four sides of the capital, and a good army that could fight well was dismantled and divided.
The military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty was not weak, but the emperor was weak, and the emperor did not dare to employ people.
Ziqin sat opposite Fang La, with a faint smile on his face, he knew that Fang La would accept his statement, because this was a hero, and the hero was like a hungry wolf to meat to the world.
"No matter if you break the family, the Yang family or the farmer family will not be embarrassed by you."
Ziqin sat opposite Fang La, his voice was not loud, but Fang La's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The Zhao family is too suspicious, it is not easy to be the general of the Zhao family, Yang Invincible, Fan Zhongyan, Di Mianni, Chong Shiheng, and Wang Shao more than ten years ago, which of these people is not a peerless talent, and who among them is inferior to Zhang Yuan, however, Zhang Yuan assisted Li Yuanhao to create the Western Xia Kingdom, and they were either killed in battle or demoted, which is known to smart people."
Ziqin slowly spoke, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he spoke, "Brother Fang thinks that the generals of the Western Army still dare to show their invincible military ability, hehe, I'm afraid I don't dare, that's not merit, that's looking for death." ”
A word fell, Fang La did not speak for a long time, the person Ziqin said is either not famous in the world, or it is inconvenient not long from now, Yang Wushu almost destroyed the Khitan back then, Fan Zhongyan and the other three were even more defeated in the Western Xia without the power to fight back, as a result, Yang Wushu died on the battlefield inexplicably, Fan Zhongyan was demoted, Di Qing died of depression, and Chong Shiheng never got the merits he deserved in his life (this son is the one who hangs on his lips every day, Wang Jin, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, etc.).
And that Wang Shao was slightly better, almost wiped out Tubo, but was recalled to the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty and given a high official position, but since then he has never had the opportunity to lead the army, and he can't even do his advice, and finally foresaw the defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty when the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Western Xia for the second time, and forcibly violated the acceptance of life and was angry to death.
The situation in the Northwest Land, or the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty, is really as Ziqin said, although Fang La has not read many books, but as a generation of heroes, Fang La still knows about those famous generals.
Ziqin said that they were the most outstanding generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, but none of them had a good end.
In the northwest land, it is a lie to say that there are no generals who can fight, but it is difficult to say who dares to fight, and in fact, I am afraid that there are few who dare to fight.
The most important thing is that the supervisor of the Western Army is Tong Guan, and the three famous masters of the Western Army have been suppressed by this eunuch for a long time, and it is obvious how much anger has accumulated in his heart.
"Let's go to the northwest, Brother Tan, it seems that you should tell us about your plans, at least let us know what our allies are."
Fang La laughed, but he had already calculated in his heart, according to what Ziqin said, the hope of success was seventy or eighty percent, which was already an extremely high probability, if he didn't fight again, he would really be sorry for himself.
"Hehe, let's put it this way, when you gain a firm foothold in the northwest and start to seek Western Xia, someone will help you drag Tubo, and once you occupy Western Xia, you need to immediately attack Tubo in the south, after defeating Tubo, there will be a wave of people who will attack Dali together with you, once these three places are captured, you need to temporarily annex the east and contribute to the capture of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures by people on my side."
Ziqin spoke slowly, only to say roughly, but the details were not uttered, Fang La's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he didn't ask, but applauded Ziqin's seemingly exaggerated words.
In fact, at this time, Ziqin was already thinking repeatedly in his heart, that Western Xia, Tubo, in fact, there was another way in Ziqin's heart to quickly seize it.
It's just that the way is easy to say, but it's not easy.
This seems to be a competition between countries, but in fact, it still does not escape the hegemony of the rivers and lakes.
The countries of this Celestial Dragon World are actually far less powerful and mysterious than those from the rivers and lakes.
Ziqin hadn't figured it out in his heart, but he couldn't explain it to Fang La in detail, not that he really hid anything from Fang La, Ziqin was not interested in this matter of dominating a country, but he didn't think about hiding Fang La in this regard.
This time, after Jun Shan's trip, maybe he should go to the northwest and take a look at the things in the Vulture Palace.
Ziqin sighed secretly in his heart, many things he thought about were still a little simple, but when he really put them into practice, he found that there were many difficulties.
"Brother Tan, I will move the Mingjiao back to the northwest in the next few days, but I have something to tell you before I leave."
Suddenly, Fang La slowly spoke, "A few days ago, my Ming Sect disciple found out that your friend Deng Baichuan suddenly disappeared for some reason, and seemed to have been tied back by some mysterious force. ”
Hearing this coldly, Ziqin trembled.
Deng Baichuan disappeared.
This incident made Ziqin vaguely think of something, he only felt that the so-called collusion with foreigners seemed to be related to this matter, but that trace of spiritual light was blurry and abnormal, and for a while Ziqin couldn't clearly find the original appearance of that spiritual light.
"In addition to Deng Baichuan's disappearance, my disciples also found out that the many Jianghu men in Qingyunzhuang's snare seem to have received some kind of order and are quietly lurking."
Fang La continued to speak, and the glimmer of light in Ziqin's mind suddenly brightened, and he finally thought of a possibility. (To be continued......)
