Chapter 530

(PS: when I was writing about the confusion in the mind of hegemony, I opened a small pit of urban suspense thriller text. It was just for changing my mind, so I didn't ask for anything to collect. You can look at it and leave more messages when you wait. Recently, the book review area of hegemony is also a stagnant water, and I feel very sad when I see it every day. Leave more messages and I reply to good posts. There is a link below. It's OK to see it. It won't affect me The update of hegemony will never happen. The book is called Ji Ji. It was written yesterday that when Fang Xie came out of his study, all the generals waiting in the yard gathered around. These short minutes were as long as centuries. Their eyes were eager and eager to wait for Fang Xie to point out a bright road for them.

Just like in the darkest days in the northwest, the king of Xujun took them and insisted all the time.

They looked at Fang Xie, and Fang Xie looked at them.

A group of awe inspiring and fearless men in the sea of corpses can hardly calm themselves at this time. Everyone feels that this anxiety is very familiar, because they were in the same mood when they survived in the gap between hundreds of thousands of Mongolian barbarians' cavalry and hundreds of thousands of rebels three years ago.

"There are 50000 people in the stronghold."

Fang Xie spoke slowly.

"I sat in the room for so long and tried to calm myself down, but I'm still worried, because I have to decide not only my life and death, but also the survival of all of you. You should all know that our black flag army is in a dilemma. If we return to the army, will the emperor be convicted of letting the Mongols go? If convicted, will you Do you plead guilty or not? "

"Not satisfied!"

In silence, I don't know who shouted, hoarse voice, especially sad and angry: "In the past four years in langrushan, we haven't received a copper salary from the imperial court or eaten a grain of grain from the imperial court! But we still hold the war flag of the great Sui Dynasty and fight with the rebels and barbarians day by day. Did we have anything to do with our defeat in the Manchu flag? Why did the emperor let us be abandoned children? Why!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, other generals expressed their dissatisfaction and anger.

The defeat of the Manchu flag has nothing to do with them. In recent years, they have not stopped fighting for the glory of the Empire and soldiers. They have been hard to maintain their dignity with their own blood and sweat, but now they have become the people abandoned by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

How majestic they were when they entered the canyon and how disheartened they were when they withdrew from the Canyon!

Hearing the comments of the following people, Fang Xie's heart suddenly widened a lot. What he has been worried about is his lack of prestige, and perhaps he can't let the 50000 people return completely. If he rashly decides to take them to another place or stay in langrushan Canyon, will these soldiers refuse?

Will they still have illusions about the imperial court?

But now, when he heard the soldiers express their grievances heartily, he suddenly found that he was always worried about gain and loss and worried too much. Sometimes some things come naturally and don't need his own deliberate guidance, it will flow there and in that direction.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the yard. Fang Xie looked at the door and saw Chen Xiaoru running in. Looking at the thick layer of dust on him, we knew that he was in a hurry along the way.

"My Lord, my subordinates are back!"

As soon as Fang Xie's heart was warm, he quickly walked over to support Chen Xiaoru. At this time, Chen Xiaoru can come back after leaving. How can he not feel warm in Fang Xie's heart? Especially when his heart is very cold, Chen Xiaoru's return makes Fang Xie's gloomy heart seem to be sprinkled with sunshine.

"Marquis, my subordinates have made it clear."

Chen Xiaoru swallowed and spit, and his lips were dry and cracked.

Fang Xie quickly asked someone to fetch water and handed it to him: "just say it here. I'm discussing business with you. The news you brought back is very important and everyone will listen to it."

When Chen Xiaoru knew that Fang Xie had led his troops back to the stronghold, he guessed what the team was facing. He was the kind of person who could understand the intention without explaining clearly. After listening to Fang Xie, he immediately understood Fang Xie's meaning. He emptied the water bag in one breath, wiped the corners of his mouth and said: "After my subordinates arrived in Jinyang, they tried to get in touch with the flying fish robe still obeying orders in the camp outside the city."

He gasped and continued: "although the people in our flying fish robes are losing power now, the garrison around the emperor's big tent still uses our people. A while ago... Luo Yao arrived at the camp alone!"

"Ah!"

The crowd let out a cry of surprise.

Chen Xiaoru said, "Luo Yao took more than 100 heads of Li Xiaoche and others in Jinyang City, so brazenly entered the camp, and fought a battle with immortal Zhang of Wudang Mountain with Su Buwei, the pen holding eunuch beside the emperor. The two people couldn't win Luo Yao together, and then Luo Yao swaggered away."

"Doesn't that mean..."

Sun Kaidao immediately said loudly, "it is a foregone conclusion that Luo Yao raises the flag? In this way, the whole southwest and even the south of the Yangtze River will be in chaos!"

Even without this, Luo Yao's rebellion is well-known. Sun Kaidao's cry was actually intentional. He said this like the last straw that crushed the soldiers' loyalty to the king. Sun Kaidao wanted to remind these generals that the Sui Dynasty has been shaken. Even if you still have loyalty to the king, it doesn't make sense. You are loyal to the king, but many people have raised flags The flag of rebellion was raised.

"And then?"

Fang Xie asked.

Chen Xiaoru said: "also, his subordinates inquired. The emperor really didn't have the will to mobilize troops and horses, and never said to the following generals that he would send troops to support our black flag army!"

This sentence caused another angry roar.

Sun Kaidao was very satisfied. He knew that these people had given up on the imperial court.

He winked at the two confidants of Fang Xie, Chen Moshan and Lu Fenghou, and then touched Xiahou Baichuan standing beside him with his hand. Sun Kaidao talked to these three people before. They got sun Kaidao's signal and stood up immediately.

Chen Moshan suddenly knelt down on one knee and hugged his fist and said, "Lord Hou, we still need Lord hou to take us on our way in the future! We are like children abandoned by our parents. Even if we can't hate our parents, we have to find a place to survive."

"Lord, it's time to think for ourselves!"

Lu Fenghou knelt down and said, "the life and death of tens of thousands of people and horses are all on the LORD alone."

Xiahou Baichuan said, "my subordinates know that the Marquis is loyal to his majesty, but now it's not that we don't want to be loyal to the imperial court, but that the imperial court regards us as abandoned children. My subordinates implore the Marquis to take his brothers to fight a place. We don't raise a flag to rebel, but only seek a way to live!"

"This..."

Fang Xie hesitated and looked at the crowd.

"Please decide!"

Dozens of generals in the yard looked at each other, then knelt down and said at the same time.

Sun Kaidao stood behind Fang Xie and looked at the scene. He picked it at the corners of his mouth and said in his heart: it's done!

……

……

Fang Xie paced back and forth in the big tent, looking very dignified. Sun Kaidao stood in front of the map and was marking out the forces of all parties. Soon, the situation became particularly clear.

"We're here now"

Sun Kaidao pointed to the location of Dazhai: "There are no other forces within a radius of three or four hundred miles. The remnant of the Rebel Army knows we are here, so they dare not come here. Jinyang city is five hundred miles southeast. Since Li Xiaoche is dead, the defenders in Jinyang city say they have to surrender. After the imperial court breaks Jinyang, the next step must be to send troops to besiege Longxi County. The Li family is completely finished."

"Three hundred miles southwest of Jinyang, six hundred miles away from our stronghold, is the rebel houwu Shanxi camp. After the defeat, Meng Wansui returned here with tens of thousands of disabled soldiers. Hou Wu Shanxi camp is blocking between Jinyang city and Longxi County. Meng Wansui thought Jinyang could hold on for a while. He watched. Now Li Xiaoche and others are dead. Once Jinyang is broken, the emperor's next goal is naturally Long live Meng. "

"More than 200 miles to the south of Longxi County is Mangdang Mountain. Now tens of thousands of disabled soldiers of Yin Po Mountain are mountain thieves in Mangdang Mountain. His team is not worried."

After he said that, he glanced at the crowd, and then pointed to the south of Mangdang Mountain: "Huang Yang Dao, now about 200000 people after the defeat of Luo Yao's left avant-garde are stationed here. If there is no accident, he will lead the army to fight with the emperor. Before that, he will watch the struggle between the emperor and Meng Wansui and Yan Baoshan."

Lu Fenghou said, "military division, Luo Yao didn't start before. Now his troops are halved. How can he fight with the emperor instead?"

"The war is changing rapidly."

Sun Kaidao said: "Luo Yao didn't fight the emperor head-on before. He wanted the Mongolians and Li Yuanshan to join hands to bring the emperor down. He led his troops straight into the Central Plains, but now that the Mongolians have left, Li Yuanshan has been defeated, and the emperor won't have too many troops after eliminating the crippled enemy, and he is a tired division. Luo Yao was defeated at the beginning and needs a big victory to restore his morale, so he will lead the army to stop the emperor from returning to Chang'an. As long as he kills them The emperor, the imperial court is in chaos. The prince is young and turbulent. He just takes advantage of the chaos. "

"You and I all know that Luo Yao is definitely more than the hundreds of thousands of people with him. Chen Xiaoru, tell me about the situation in the southwest."

Chen Xiaoru came over and hugged the generals: "You generals, before your humble office, you had been in contact with the flying fish robe in the southwest. Just before the decisive battle between the imperial court and Li Yuanshan in Xiping, ye Jinnan, a senior general under Luo Yao, took up nearly one million of the four armies in the southwest and entered the South of the Yangtze River after crossing Yishui. Most of the imperial court's Yangtze River naval divisions were in Luoshui in the northwest, so there was no time to return. Ye Jinnan had led his troops into the south of the Yangtze River and was in Xiangfan Tao confronted the six guards of the imperial court. "

"Although the emperor was wary of Luo Yao's rebellion and secretly deployed troops in the south of the Yangtze River before coming to the northwest, he certainly didn't expect that Luo Yao had so many people and horses that the six guards didn't dare to fight. If... If the news of the emperor's death in the Northwest spread, didn't the general of the six guards have his own plan?"

When he asked this, in fact, everyone had an answer in their hearts.

Sun Kaidao took a few steps forward and said, "so now we have three ways to choose."

"First, stay here."

He looked at the crowd and said: "I discussed with the Marquis before that we are not short of food and grass now. We can collect another batch of food after autumn. The safest and conservative thing is to stay in the stronghold for a while and watch the change. We can make plans after the court and Luo Yao decide the victory or defeat. After all, the soldiers are tired and take advantage of the opportunity to rest. More and more people gather in Fangu area. We can recruit some new people Soldiers, while recuperating, practice at the same time. "

"The disadvantage of this road is that the northwest is poor. Although we have no worries about food and grass, we will be short of food after winter until the beginning of next spring. If we move again at that time, there will be no accident. Even if we stay and don't go, there is no future in the northwest. Li Yuanshan and Mengyuan people have been suffering here for more than three years, and the people have almost no harvest in recent years , we can live this winter, but we can't live next winter. "

The crowd nodded and knew that he was telling the truth.

Sun Kaidao continued: "The second way, let's take advantage of the opportunity for the imperial court to fight with the remnants of the rebels and lead the army to the East. If we can cross the Luoshui river while the Imperial Navy is guarding against Luo Yao's people, it's not difficult to enter Hedong road and fight down a place with our troops, but... It's difficult to hold it. Hedong road is not short of food and rich, but there are no risks to rely on. We don't have the strength to compete with the imperial court and Luo Yao now Yao robbed the territory. "

"The third way"

Sun Kaidao's eyes swept over the faces of the people, and then slowly said, "take all the food and grass, go through the gap between the rebels and the imperial court, cross Mangdang Mountain and enter Huangyang road!"

"Ah?!"

This sentence surprised everyone.

"Huangyang road is also short of food, which is much better than that in the northwest. Luo Yao's foundation is in the four roads in the southwest. When we went to Huangyang Road, we settled down next to the tiger's nest. Think about it, Luo Yao and the emperor never expected that we would go there. Moreover, Huangyang road has natural dangers to rely on. Qingsong mountain, Cuiping mountain and Niutou mountain can have a foothold. Most of Luo Yao's people left the southwest and the rest of the soldiers The force is enough to defend the four roads in the southwest. After Luo Yao leads his army to leave Huangyang Road, there will be no force there. It will only take a year, even half a year, without war. We will recruit soldiers to hoard food and grass, and our strength can at least double. "

"Although it is dangerous, it is the brightest."

He looked at Fang Xie, but found that Fang Xie was a little distracted.

"Lord Hou, everyone is waiting for your decision."

Sun Kaidao asked.

Fang Xie silently looked out of the window and suddenly said, "get ready. Go to Huangyang road after a month's rest. Before that, I have to do something."
