Chapter 569

(Lala, Lala, I'm a little expert in codewords. I send the news before dark. Today's update is really good. I change a monthly ticket to the third watch!)

Fang Xie's route was almost the same as that he had taken shanziying from the south of Yishui. But if a large group of people want to go to the southwest, they can't go over Mangdangshan again. So we have to go far around and go to the confluence of Yishui and the Yangtze River, which was the place where Fang Xie went to Yongzhou to cross the river south.

How to cross the river is something that must be considered now.

Fang Xie has sent Chen Xiaoru to leave early, but no one knows what Chen Xiaoru is going to do. In addition, fangxie sent hundreds of people from Xiaoqi school to the south of Mangdangshan mountain to collect the ships. They didn't have the floating bridge equipped by the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, so they had only two choices to cross the river, either to collect enough ships or to send a team of people to the river in advance to cut down trees and build a wooden bridge, but the river at the intersection of Yishui and the Yangtze River was too wide, The idea of building a wooden bridge is simply unrealistic.

Sun Kaidao has been thinking about how to cross the river these days, but Fang Xie doesn't seem to worry at all.

After holding back for several days, he finally couldn't help asking Fang Xie.

"The general is only reading in the carriage these days. How come he doesn't worry about crossing the river at all?"

Seeing the urgency on his face, Fang Xie couldn't help laughing and said, "you are clear in the overall situation. Few people can compare with you, and I can't see the general direction. But you're not a qualified logistics scheduling talent. You rarely consider some small things. Since I've made up my mind to go to Huangyang Road, I'll make arrangements."

He took out a letter from behind him and handed it to sun Kaidao. Sun Kaidao quickly took it over with both hands and looked at it. Then he smiled: "you can really hide it, senior general! There is such backup. If you had told your subordinates earlier, how could your subordinates have been unable to sleep these days."

Fang Xie said, "I naturally have to think more about military affairs. You have the talent of prime minister, but you are worse in military affairs. After arriving at Huangyang Road, you need to take care of the stable side to recruit soldiers, brave, garrison the fields and raise the people."

Sun Kaidao was ashamed and said, "it was my subordinates who persuaded the senior general to move south, but after leaving the grassland, my subordinates had no choice. Instead, the senior general had no choice but to prepare early. My subordinates are ashamed of their kindness to the senior general..."

His heart was full of worries... At the beginning, he followed Fang Xie and thought that his theory could be affirmed on Fang Xie, but now it seems that Fang Xie makes him feel more and more unfathomable, and everything has been arranged early. Although Fang Xie didn't say anything, if he continued like this, what would Fang Xie do for himself? At the thought of these, the sense of crisis in his heart immediately came out, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly came out on his back.

All along, he felt that Fang Xie could not do without himself. But now... He found that if he didn't work harder, he would praise the talent of his prime minister. I'm afraid it would become ridicule.

"Where is this?"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "everyone has his own expertise. You give me advice in every war. Set a place and comfort one side for me. I'm not as good as you. That's why I say you're the prime minister's talent rather than the general's talent. If you have to feel guilty and blame yourself for something you don't know well, you'll belittle yourself."

Sun Kaidao bowed his head: "the lesson of the general is that his subordinates should remember."

"Well"

Fang Xie said, "you came just in time. I was just looking for someone to invite you... Look..."

Fang Xie unfolded the map. This is the map he sent to collect and sort out when he was in Huangyang road. The people in Xiaoqi school summarized it and drew it again, which is much more detailed than the map issued by the Sui Dynasty.

As Wu Yidao said, in fact, few people really understand how delicate and serious Fang Xie is. He always makes preparations at all times, even if there are many preparations that can't be used, but he doesn't think it's a waste of time and energy.

For example, repairing fangucheng didn't come in handy in the end, but Fang Xie didn't think it was done in vain.

In Huangyang Road, Fang Xie seemed to train Shanzi camp every day. In fact, he secretly sent people in flying fish robes to explore the terrain of the people, because at that time, Fang Xie was already planning to establish a foundation in Huangyang road in the future. That's why Wu Yidao managed to gradually transfer most of his workshops to Zhuque mountain, Huangyang road. What remains in Chang'an city is just a garment workshop.

"This is Zhuque mountain."

Fang Xie pointed out and said, "if nothing unexpected happens, the people I arranged in advance have built a stronghold here. It is at least seven or eight hundred miles away from Huangyang Daozhi. Although it is in a hurry, the construction of the stronghold may only be a little embryonic, but it is better than we can manage it after we arrive."

Sun Kaidao remembered: "general Cui Zhongzhen was ordered to go south to build a stronghold?"

Fang Xie nodded: "Yes, I asked him to take people to Huangyang road to find out the whereabouts of Luo Yao. Later, I thought that after Luo Yao left, Huangyang road was a vacuum and really a place where he could stand. So I didn't let him come back. I chose Zhuque mountain and asked him to take a group of people pretending to be robbers to force large families nearby to move away, so that people didn't dare to get close easily, and then I went to the mountain Build a camp. "

"My subordinates understand."

Sun Kaidao thought for a moment and said, "the general asked general Cui to use his uniform as a mountain thief to scare away the people nearby, and then with the help of people like San jinhou, there must be no shortage of craftsmen. With the ability of goods to go down the sky, it is not too difficult to build a mountain stronghold on the mountain."

Fang Xie nodded: "what I want to ask you is, how should we develop when we get to Zhuque mountain? Although Zhuque mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, it can be a temporary foothold, but if it doesn't develop, it can only be a group of horse thieves."

"Southwest"

Sun Kai road points to the Southwest Road of Zhuque mountain: "The south of Zhuque mountain is the southernmost part of Huangyang road. It has little contact with the outside world across the mountain, but it is a good field thousands of miles across. Just because it is surrounded by the mountain, few people pay attention to it. But also because the traffic is blocked here, there are few people. For the Sui Dynasty, it is almost an enclave, and there is no County... If it is here In order to make the newly recruited soldiers brave and practice while farming. "

"Just like leeks..."

Sun Kaidao made a gesture and looked excited: "trained a group of soldiers and planted several seasons of grain. It's repeated and continuous."

Fang Xie looked at sun Kaidao's flying face and smiled in his heart. He didn't see that the southwest of Zhuque mountain was a good place. The first batch of people who went there were already opening up wasteland. He just didn't want sun Kaidao to lose his confidence. This person was a useful talent. If he felt that everything was inferior to Fang Xie, then this talent would be over.

……

……

If there are still people in the northwest who dare to stop 70000 cavalry armed to the teeth, and there are no less than 10000 civilian men recruited along the way, it can only be said that it is not warriors but fools who dare to do this. The most strange thing is that there are such people in the world.

When the team passed the former Xida camp of Li Yuanshan's rebels, the cavalry Rangers in the open road were stopped by a group of mountain bandits. Houwu mountain has always been full of villains, but Diao's work is really impressive. The group of mountain bandits with thousands of people may just see hundreds of cavalry in the open road, think it is an isolated army, stop on the official road and shout to hand over their weapons and horses Let the cavalry live, but the hundreds of cavalry ignored the meeting.

These mountain bandits are annoyed and refuse to move when they stop on the official road. Look at the posture, it's a waste.

result

When the endless cavalry came from behind, I don't know how many of the mountain bandits peed in their pants. Anyway, the bearded leader who thought he was brave was so scared that he softened his legs at that time. The younger brother behind wanted to run, but he was all carried back by the Rangers.

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

kill

The cavalry rushed up like wolves and slaughtered in the valley. It seems that except for the young people under the age of 20 and the old people over the age of 50, the rest are chopped up.

Zhuo Buyi was puzzled. He had been thinking hard about Prince Zhong's advice to him these days. Zhuo Buyi, who spoke those words, seldom came out and walked around. He couldn't bear to hear that Fang Xie ordered to kill the mountain bandits, so he boarded Fang Xie's carriage.

"Jue Xiao"

Zhuo Buyi sat down opposite Fang Xie, remained silent for a while and said: "I think you've become more and more violent recently. Although those mountain bandits are a part of the disaster, they may not all die. Although you let go of the young and old people, you still kill too many. I know most of those people are the rebels under Li Yuanshan at the beginning, and they have blood debts in their hands, but I still think it's too hasty to kill like this."

Fang Xie smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

"I know what you mean, sir. You are afraid that my blood heart is too fierce and I will lose my heart."

"Yes"

Zhuo Buyi nodded.

Fang Xie pushed the hot tea to him, thought about it and said, "Sir, what do you think I'm going to do?"

Zhuo Buyi was stunned: "although I don't participate in the military affairs, I know you have to open up a side now. So many soldiers will follow, even if you don't have this mind. I just think you can kill less."

Fang Xie said slowly, "Sir, I was wrong. Maybe I didn't have this idea before, but now I must. Sir thought I was too angry, but I did it on purpose. Sir doesn't like military affairs or temple disputes. But Sir has a clear mind. I should see what my soldiers lack most now."

"What is missing..."

Zhuo Buyi shook his head after thinking about it: "there are plenty of soldiers and food. I don't know what I lack."

"Lack of killing intention"

Fang Xie said seriously: "Sir, I may not have thought about what kind of road I'm going to take. I led the soldiers 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 to kill most of the mountain bandits, or to make the soldiers feel the murderous spirit. I must adapt them to one thing... Kill whoever stops in front. If there is no such murderous spirit, So it's just a joke to want to open up a side. Even if I support hundreds of thousands of soldiers, what's the use? They dare not raise their knives. Even if the training is good, it's meaningless. "

"Now I let them see more blood in order to fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield in the future. They are not afraid of blood. If I were more cruel, I wouldn't order people to let the young and old people go first. Soldiers are the most ferocious weapons in the world, and I have to raise some more ferocity!"

Zhuo Buyi was silent, then nodded: "I really didn't think about this, and I really don't understand it. Maybe you're right, but it's difficult for me to adapt. I know what you mean, let the soldiers become more and more fierce, and they have a greater chance to survive in the battlefield in the future."

"Yes"

Fang Xie nodded.

"I'm leaving."

Zhuo Buyi was silent for a while and suddenly said, "it's really not what I want to fight in the world."

Fang Xie frowned slightly, sat up straight and asked, "where are you going, sir?"

"Qingleshan"

He smiled: "in fact, I still want to leave without this today. My heart is in the mountains, and I will only be more and more confused in the army. The words of the loyal prince made me feel very much that day, so I plan to go to Yiqi temple to borrow Taoist classics, hoping to benefit. You lead the army to keep murderous Qi, and I want to understand the Tao and keep quiet Qi."

Fang Xie thought for a moment, took off a decorative jade pendant from his body, and then picked up his pen to write a few words on the jade pendant. The power of heaven and earth forces the ink into the jade, and the small characters are clearly visible but indelible.

A mentor to Jue Xiao

Fang Xie solemnly saluted: "I wish you a great road as soon as possible."

Mr. Zhuo took the jade card and smiled freely: "your way is in rivers and mountains, and my way is in manpower. You and I are practicing in order to get the way, but the way ahead is different. Although you and I are destined to go our separate ways, we are forever friends. Say a word of good luck... Goodbye to Chang'an city."

Fang Xie was stunned and then solemnly saluted.
