Chapter 617

As soon as Chi Haonian finished his words, Zhong Xin's face immediately became ugly. He didn't have a good attack. He just smiled and said: "Brother Lixian, it's too big for me to decide. You know, although I'm the governor of beihui Road, now the governor of the great Sui Dynasty is just in vain. People give me face and call me governor. If people don't give face, I can only pack up and go home."

"Mingzhe, where is this?"

Chi Haonian hurriedly said, "although the Sui Dynasty is in chaos now, who doesn't know that you have high moral expectations in beihui? I know it's difficult, and naturally I won't force you to make a decision, and this is not the way I think out of my mind... What's the difference between my situation and Mingzhe?"

Zhong Xin scolded in her heart and still smiled: "you and I have been close friends for many years. Brother Lixian has opened his mouth. Naturally, I will not refuse, but brother Lixian should also understand that I can't be the master if I want to be the master. I can help my brother to persuade them. If they all agree, I won't obstruct it."

Chi Haonian also sneered in his heart. He hugged Zhong Xin and said, "don't bother your virtuous brother. I've visited several Houde elders along the way..."

Zhong Xin's face changed slightly: "brother Lixian, you have a wide range of friends."

He said in a cold voice, and then winked at the confidant standing on one side. The confidant hurriedly said, "it's getting late. Do you want to arrange a banquet first?"

Zhong Xin nodded and said, "well, brother Lixian came to work far away. First, eat some wine to warm up and relieve fatigue."

Chi Haonian pulled Zhong Xin and waved his hand to the servant to retreat.

"Mingzhe, why are you so confused?"

Chi Haonian lowered his voice and said, "before I came, I told everyone that even if everyone is against it, Mingzhe, you won't oppose it. Because this is a great good thing for me, and it's only good for you and me, not bad."

"Why can't I see the benefits?"

Chi Haonian said, "you are anxious to interrupt me before you hear me finish..."

He took Zhong Xin to the map and said, "just lend you a way, not just you. I have also discussed with others. You give way to the North Hui Road, the South Hui Road and the North Yong road."

Zhong Xin said angrily: "brother Lixian said it was light. Your Yongbei road is thousands of miles away from here. If I make way for the black flag army, he will stop suddenly. It has nothing to do with you if you block all the key passes immediately, but my beihui road is even trapped in the mud!"

Chi Haonian knew what Zhong Xin was worried about. He smiled and said: "Mingzhe, you need to understand one thing first... Fang Xie is just a descendant with no foundation. By chance, he got hundreds of thousands of people and horses, which makes him have the current capital. But this person is not without vision. The reason why he talked to you first rather than directly moving troops is that he doesn't want to offend all the southwest families."

"If he wants to achieve great things and gain a foothold in the southwest, who else in the southwest can accept him if he breaks his faith in your beihui road? What he wants is not a little interest in front of him, but the four roads in the southwest. So you should rest assured. If he takes your beihui road and wants to go south, who will still believe him? He is not a fool and won't want to understand this."

"Comparatively speaking, nanmanzi is more troublesome than Fang Xie. Nanyan Murong shame and king he have turned half of the flat business road upside down. For example, Xie is much greedy! Fang Xie just wants a territory, but he doesn't dare to offend us too deeply, so he can coexist. What about Murong shame? He wants more and can't be compatible!"

Chi Haonian pointed to several places on the map and said: "These counties were conquered by the Nanyan army. The Nanyan people robbed the food and plundered the people. Those he people and our Han people hate each other the most, and they will kill anyone they see. In this way, the Pingshang road will not be protected, followed by our Yongbei road. Even if I have tens of thousands of county soldiers, how can I protect so many places? Although Nanyan Murong yongduo entered the pass with only tens of thousands of troops, there are hundreds of thousands of he people ！”

Zhong Xin sneered and said, "it's no better than this. Pingshang road can't stop nanmanzi, so brother Lixian can't sit still. You're close to Yongbei road and Heping business road, but you came here to discuss with me to let me go and let Fang Xie's black flag army go south to fight nanmanzi. Even if I promised, why do you think Fang Xie would agree?"

"He will!"

Chi Haonian said in a very low voice, "there's something you don't know. If Luo Qiu hadn't been forced to say it a while ago... It's because we know this secret that we're sure that Fang Xie will go south to protect Yongzhou."

"What?!"

Zhong Xin asked immediately.

Chi Haonian leaned forward and said, "Fang Xie... Is Luo Yao's son!"

"Ah!"

Zhong Xin's face changed greatly: "brother Lixian, in order to make me promise, you won't make up such a lie!"

"How could it be a lie!"

Chi Haonian said: "Just think, when Fang Xie first arrived in Yongzhou, it is said that he went straight into Luo Yao's study and killed the emissary sent by Li Yuanshan. If someone else did this, Luo Yao would allow him? Even if Fang Xie had an imperial envoy on his back, Luo Yao was determined, and the identity of the imperial envoy meant nothing to him. Not only that, Luo Yao also distributed it to the first battalion of Fang Xie and allocated it to the war horses , isn't that abnormal? "

"I'll tell you something more... When Fang Xie was in Yongzhou, he often went in and out of Luo's house, but he saw not Luo Yao, but Luo Yao's wife Chu... Over the years, have you ever seen Luo Yao's wife and foreign guests? And if Fang Xie didn't go to Luo's house for three or five days, Chu sent someone to invite him immediately. Is there really no secret?"

Hearing Chi Haonian say this, Zhong Xin's heart began to doubt.

"And..."

Chi Haonian said, "think about it, Fang Xie left the left avant-garde with a battalion of troops. Why didn't Luo Yao send troops to chase him? Fang Xie recruited and expanded in the northwest. After having an army in his hand, he immediately returned to Huangyang road. Why didn't Luo Yao send troops to stop him? Tian Xin in Xinyang City shrank step by step and didn't want to fight Fang Xie at all. Is that reasonable?"

"In my opinion..."

Chi Haonian sneered and said, "this is just Luo Yao's plot. Fang Xie led the troops to leave the left avant-garde. Perhaps it was Luo Yao's inspiration. He led the troops to leave the southwest and left almost no troops. At this time, Fang Xie came back with the black flag army. It's just a coincidence?"

"You mean..."

Zhong Xin hesitated and said, "you mean, this is what Luo Yao and Fang Xie discussed. Luo Yao led the troops to fight in the south of the Yangtze River and was sent north, but Fang Xie led the troops back to defend the four roads in the southwest. In fact, he is still Luo Yao's soldier! But why did Luo Yao do this?"

"If there is no accident, I guess Luo Yao wants to see how we react after he leaves."

As soon as he said this, a layer of cold sweat immediately came out of Zhong Xin's back: "test us?"

Chi Haonian nodded: "Seven or eight out of ten is the case, so I immediately came here to see you after discussing with them all night. Think about it, let's send the black flag army south to Yongzhou. Fang Xie is Luo Yao's son. His mother Chu is still in Yongzhou. He will rest assured? Now nanmanzi's coalition army is only two or three hundred miles away from Yongzhou, and he must be anxious because there are insufficient troops in Yongzhou City Rufen... Think again, how can Fang Xie put pressure on you on beihui road as soon as there is an accident in the south? "

Zhong Xin took a deep breath and was shocked: "I still can't believe these are true."

Chi Haonian said: "Then think again. If Fang Xie is really loyal to the imperial court as advertised outside, he will stay in Huangyang road with his men and horses. Why should he March South instead of north to solve the siege of Gyeonggi road? You know, he has more than 100000 men and horses and half of the elite cavalry in his hand! If the imperial court gets this reinforcements, Gyeonggi road will not be as precarious as it is now."

At this time, someone hurried in. When he saw a foreign guest, he opened his mouth but swallowed his words back. Zhong Xin apologized to Chi Haonian and asked the confidant what was so urgent. The confidant whispered a few words in his ear. Zhong Xin's already ugly face immediately turned white.

"When!"

He asked with some annoyance.

That channel: "Just received the news, the troops of the black flag army in the east of Huangyang road made a move to attack Xinkou warehouse. The defenders of Xinkou warehouse dared not go out to meet the enemy, but who thought that the black flag army was not going to attack Xinkou warehouse at all. A cavalry came directly into our beihui road by rubbing the edge of Xinkou warehouse. Now several adults' manors have been broken... The purpose of this cavalry is to catch people , but because of the speed, our troops gathered and left. They have made a big circle in more than ten counties in the East and captured several old masters... "

Zhong Xin only felt a suffocation in his heart. When he thought about what Chi Haonian had just said, he believed a little more.

If Fang Xie really wants to take down beihui Road, how could he do such a thing that offended several big families of beihui road? He went to catch those people to increase the bargaining chips... Fang Xie asked for money and food. Is it not to be used as food and materials for going south?

……

……

Zhuque mountain camp, conference hall.

Wu Yidao listened to Fang Xie finish his analysis. He frowned and said: "It's too big to be impulsive. Our Zhuque mountain camp just has some foundation. If you lead the troops to leave at this time, I'm afraid all my previous efforts will be wasted. Now several workshops have been built and the trade of iron ore and leather has been almost settled. If you leave at this time, won't this foundation fall into the hands of others?"

Fang Xie shook his head: "naturally, he doesn't just leave without anything."

He looked at Wu Yidao and Luo Weiran and said, "all infantry and cavalry, I will stay in Zhuque mountain camp. In addition, I will transfer Cui Zhongzhen's men and horses back. I only take 30000 cavalry to the south. I can trust you two masters, Hou ye and martial uncle. What is lacking in our black flag army now?"

Fang Xie paused and said, "it's not money and food, nor the source of troops for the time being, but reputation!"

"If I lead my troops south to fight several beautiful battles and subdue Nanyan and he people, the reputation of our black flag army will be heard throughout the southwest and even the whole Central Plains. It will be beneficial and harmless to our black flag Army... And I have my own discretion. If the war is difficult, I will withdraw. If there are warships to meet me, it's a big deal to come back by water. Aristocratic families and powerful families all over the world are making their own calculations, and the great generals of Zhu Wei We are all scrambling for territory. Only our black flag army goes to the border to resist the enemy... This reputation will be of great benefit to the army in the future. "

"That's what I said."

Luo Weiran thought and said, "but Luo Qiu dares to let you lead troops into Pingshang road?"

"I went down to Yongzhou by water. He didn't dare to stop me?"

Fang Xie smiled: "speaking of it, it's a lonely army. It's really dangerous, but it has been said since ancient times that wealth and honor are in danger. Moreover, those guys in the South have no navy or cavalry in their hands, so they can't stop me. If I want to come back, I don't have to fight back by land."

Wu Yidao thought for a while and said, "if you have decided, we won't stop, but there is one thing you must remember. Now the foundation is unstable, if things in the South fail, you should immediately return to Zhuque mountain to avoid long dreams."

"I know."

Fang Xie smiled and just wanted to continue. Chen Xiaoru strode in from the outside: "the general, Zhong xinheyong, governor of beihui Road, and Chi Haonian, governor of Beidao, went outside the camp and asked to see the general!"

Fang Xie was stunned, then smiled and said, "it seems that someone thinks the same as me..."

"Drive the tiger and swallow the wolf?"

Wu Yi sighed: "the tiger is thinking like this..."
