Chapter 438

None of the mountain bandits on the front line cliff thought that Fang Xie's heart would be so cold. The infantry of Yangzi camp went up the mountain and began to slaughter. After cleaning the bodies, they began to count the luggage, money and food on the mountain. Liu Lanzi didn't have many things to use, and there was no solution to his weapons. Those bandits didn't have many knives in their hands. They were basically wooden sticks and spears. These things were burned and all grain, grass, money and grain were transported down the mountain.

Fang Xie took his men and horses into the county seat of Wan county. When the people saw that the officers and soldiers were stationed, they spontaneously rushed to the streets on both sides to welcome them. Fang Xie could see that the joy in the eyes of the people came from the heart. The Northwest has been in chaos for two years, which can not be described as too much.

Li Yuanshan had no time to rectify the local government. First, he was busy expanding his armaments and preparing for the imperial court's expedition and suppression. Second, in order to consolidate his position, he was busy intriguing and killed two governors of Shanbei road and Hedong road. There are only three governors in the northwest, Yuan Chongwu.

Li Yuanshan does not know how chaotic the place is, nor does he know that he has lost the support of the people. But his goal was not to cede land to rule. Compared with his ambition, the three roads in the Northwest were too small to fit at all. If necessary, he would rather dedicate these three to Meng Yuan for the backing of millions of heroes.

As long as we can lay down Chang'an City, what if we don't want the three roads in the northwest?

So he didn't bother to take care of it. He just focused on holding his seat, and then played the upcoming decisive battle well. As long as he won this battle again, the foundation of the great Sui Dynasty will really shake.

The people of Wan county have been looking forward to the arrival of the counter insurgency army of the imperial court, so everyone is happy to see the officers and soldiers entering the city. They are all ordinary people. They don't and never think about court events and disputes between monarchs and officials. They don't consider whether Luo Yao, the left avant-garde general, wants to counter the rebellion or stand on his own. They just look forward to the arrival of the officers and soldiers and pull themselves out of the deep water.

Unfortunately, Fang Xie did not come to garrison, but just passed by.

When sun Kaidao dug out the money buried in his yard, the anger in his wife's eyes could burn him to ashes if released. She pulled sun Kaidao aside for a good scolding and complaining, and the dirty words in her mouth jumped out like beans. Sun Kaidao hung his head, but responded without a retort.

His wife's surname is sun, and her name is sun Xiue. She knew that her husband was not a man without ideas. Since he was willing to give away the money and food of the family, it must be reasonable. After scolding enough, she calmed down a lot. She took sun Kaidao and asked why. Yan Baoshan was one of the seven tiger generals under Li Yuanshan with more than 200000 troops in his hand. You didn't give your family property. Why did you give it to a small Ranger general from the fifth grade?

Sun Kaidao smiled and said, "I have a good mind and can see things that others can't see.". You are a woman with long hair and short insight. What foresight do you have? I don't give it to Yan Po Shan because I know he won't last long. I give it to Fang Xie because I know Fang Xie is different from Yan Po Shan. Make a bet today. If this Ranger general from the fifth grade can't become a master in the future, you will bury me alive.

Sun Xiue was no longer angry at what he said. I just watched half of the money and food accumulated by my family be taken away. I couldn't be happy. Sun Kaidao said that you should be at ease. Buyers and sellers also pay attention to a long-term perspective in doing business. Today we have lost half of our family property, and we will earn ten times and a hundred times in the future.

Just focus on what's in front of you and always make small profits.

He said to sun Xiue: "You should know what kind of person I am. There are thousands of gullies in my chest and abdomen. If I don't go out, I will be a magistrate of Qipin County in the end of my life. If I can't say it, I will be implicated by the rebels. Today I promise you a big promise. You will become Mrs. Yipin tomorrow. I thought Fang Xie would be thirsty for talents, but who thought it was such a way to make me lose my head I follow... "

Sun Xiue glanced at him and said, "I don't ask for a patent. I just want peace."

Sun Kaidao took her hand and confessed: "After I left, you and your father-in-law left Wanxian County immediately. Now Yin Po Mountain was defeated in the south of Mangdang Mountain, and I asked someone to protect you. Don't you have relatives in Huiyang, go to Huiyang, don't care about money, and buy peace. If you have the opportunity to leave Huiyang, go to the south of the Yangtze River. No matter how chaotic the world is, you can't go to Jiangdu City. You will settle in Jiangdu and I will go there in the future Looking for you. "

Sun Xiue was reluctant to give up, and the two said something again, which made them reluctant to say goodbye.

Fang Xie only stayed in Wan County for one day and immediately set out. In Chu County, there are only tens of thousands of rebels stationed in Zhicheng Dayang City, and other counties are almost unprepared. The rebels' food, grass and luggage are hoarded in Dayang city. The city wall of Dayang city is strong and tall, and there are bed crossbows. With Fang Xie's current strength, it is not necessary to gnaw such a big stone. Not only can it not be swallowed, it will collapse Blood.

In sun Kaidao's hand, he sent someone to survey and draw a map in two years. The terrain from Chu county to the northwest to Xiangcheng is very detailed. Xiangcheng is the foundation of Li Yuanshan. After Li Yuanshan became king, he designated Xiangcheng as the capital, which is the most tight defense of the rebels.

Bypass Xiangcheng and walk another 600 miles to Fangu.

Along the way, Fang Xie and his team tried their best to hide their tracks and chose the path to hurry. Dayang city could not fight, but somehow robbed a Liu mangzi to supplement some food and grass. They found some horses to pull carts in Wan county. It was not a problem to carry the food and grass for a month.

Fang Jie hurried to meet with Yang Kai, the king of Xujun. Not only did he feel that he could show his strength in fan Gu, but also he was far away from Luo Yao.

Luo Yao will return to Yongzhou in a month. He didn't go back with Fang Xie, because he was worried about what tricks Shiyuan had.

The farther away from Huangyang Road, Fang Xie's heart gradually calmed down.

But Luo Yao's name was like a thorn in his heart from beginning to end, and it was like a knife that would appear on the back of his neck anytime and anywhere. It was uncertain when the knife would stab, but Fang Xie knew there was a knife, but he couldn't stop it.

……

……

"General"

Sun Kaidao unfolded the map: "although we have bypassed Dayang City, the hinterland of Shandong road is ahead. The more we go ahead, the more powerful the rebels are. It is obviously impossible for us to go straight through. If we go around, there will be no food and grass."

Fang Xie asked, "you are more familiar with this place than anyone. Tell me about your plan."

Sun Kaidao followed Fang Xie for more than ten days. Although there were not many days, Fang Xie felt that this man was a qualified counselor. He is not only familiar with the terrain and the people in the northwest, but also has great attainments in the art of war and strategy. Although he is a scholar, he is not narrow-minded and calm.

"If you want to replenish food and grass, you can only rob."

After seeing Fang Xie, sun Kaidao said tentatively, "to go to langrushan, we have to go through the whole Shandong road. The distance is too far, and we can't walk in a straight line. The more we go inside, the more the rebels gather. In general, there are many rebels stationed in the County, not to mention the county ruling the big city. With our current military strength, we can't attack the city and land, so we can only think of other ways."

"Why don't you... Think of those rich people?"

After asking this question, he stopped talking. He has understood each other a little these days. Knowing that Fang Xie didn't like his men beating around the Bush, he tried his best to make his words concise and persuasive. A qualified counselor is not to let the Lord listen to his suggestions all the time. Instead, the Lord will be able to better understand the current situation at all times. The counselor will always be a counselor and can't dominate.

Sun Kaidao understood this. He knew that his duty was to make Fang Xie know the situation better. If you speak in a tone that you must do so, I'm afraid he can't do it for long. In history, there are many amazing counselors who finally lost their lives because of their talent and pride.

Since the first line cliff killed the bandits, Fang Xie seems to have some changes in his character. Because of his previous life's thinking, he had too many constraints before. The way of doing things in previous lives is very different from that in this era. With Fang Xie's more and more understanding of this era and touching more and more things, those deep-rooted ideas have also changed.

"Choose some with poor reputation."

He didn't think about whether it was immoral or unkind. He should first be responsible for the 5000 men who were willing to travel thousands of miles with him.

"The northwest is poor, and there are too few rich families compared with the hinterland of the Central Plains. But because of the poverty, none of the rich people have a good reputation... Poor, ferocious and rich accumulate virtue, which is not suitable in the northwest. We don't have any Centennial family in luojun now. There are several famous families in luojun. The richest person is the wife of peiguo, the governor of luojun... Chen, the rebel The Chen family spent 100000 yuan to buy peace, and Yan Baoshan didn't want to offend such a famous family too hard, so he took the money and left. "

"Chen's old house is in qiu'an county. After Pei Guo demobilized the rebels, he planned to take the Chen family to luojun to rule the city of Jinyuan, but the old master of the Chen family insisted on not leaving. So Pei Guo allocated 2000 rebels to guard qiu'an County... And qiu'an county is only 300 miles away from Jinyuan city. If you attack qiu'an, you must make a quick decision. If you can't get the news in two days, Jinyuan's rebels can come to rescue you Help. "

"Go to qiu'an county to see the terrain first."

Fang Xie looked at the map and frowned slightly.

"In addition... Our whereabouts have not been exposed yet. Once we hit qiu'an County, the rebels will send troops to encircle it."

Sun Kaidao hangs the first road.

"Make a quick decision..."

Fang Jie murmured and looked up into the distance.

……

……

It took a day for the scouts to explore the terrain near qiu'an county. There are many mountains in the northwest, but there are only a few hills in luojun County, which is not huge. Qiu'an county is located in the plain, with no shelter for hundreds of miles. In this terrain, the rebel reinforcements will not come too slowly.

"We lack siege equipment. Although the wall of qiu'an county is less than two feet, it is difficult to attack hard."

"If you want to win peace, you have to outwit. Our advantage now is that the rebels don't know we're coming. So if you want to break into peace, you'd better send someone in first."

"But once too many people go in, it will immediately arouse the vigilance of the rebels."

Zhuo Buyi frowned: "there was no contact with the people, and there were no more than 100 people asking for peace in a day. Even if we sent hundreds of people in, the rebels would notice. But if there were too few people in, they could not seize and control the city gate. After all, there were 2000 rebels in the city, plus the private soldiers of the Chen family, there were no less than 2500 people."

Sun Kaidao nodded: "This is where the difficulty lies. Qiu'an county is not big. Even if the city gate is robbed, the rebels guarding the city will not rush there for too long. If the number is too small, they will be recaptured by the rebels before they insist on the support of the army. Therefore... My subordinates feel that the person who can do this must be a brave man. Not only must he have the martial arts skills that are not brave enough, but also have experience Human courage. "

Lu Fenghou said, "general, come down and do this job!"

Fang Xie shook his head slightly. Although Marquis Lu Feng had courage, his martial arts were not very outstanding. According to the truth, the most suitable candidate was the ten people in the camp. But it was easy for these ten people to get in, but they didn't have time to change into the heavy armor. Without the protection of bright light armor, the power of the camp was reduced by more than half with a big street knife.

"I'll come!"

Kirin glanced at Fang Xie, patted his chest and said, "give me fifty people and I'll rob the city gate!"

Nie Xiaoju, who had been standing behind Fang Xie in silence, raised her head and said in a flat tone, "just give him thirty people, plus me."
