Chapter 598

The division of Huangyang road and beihui road is somewhat different from that of other roads. The division of other roads is basically based on the trend of mountains and rivers, but there are too many rivers in the southwest, but there are few mountains. After the great Sui Dynasty established the Shang state, the Shang state was divided into four roads according to the map of the Shang state, which was divided by the emperor of the great Sui Dynasty according to the number of counties, Therefore, there is no dangerous place from Huangyang road to beihui road. Those solid cities are in front of the black flag army.

Luo Yao's purpose is very clear. Now it seems that he wants to fight Chang'an City, so all the cities, counties and counties along the way don't care. Millions of troops let go of their speed and killed in one breath on Jiangbei Road.

Unlike Fang Xie, he doesn't want a city.

Therefore, if you want to embrace the world in the southwest of the Sui Dynasty, you must fight city by city. Liangcheng is a big city with a history of hundreds of years. It was an important town of the state of Shang in the time of the state of Shang. In order to prevent the increasingly powerful Sui Dynasty, the state of Shang deployed heavy troops in Liangcheng. Unfortunately, the Shang state has rotted to its roots. Although the deployment of heavy troops in the north will make it impossible to dispatch, because the soldiers are extremely disappointed with the imperial court, and no one is willing to fight to the death, so that when the Sui army goes south, these important towns in the North hardly bring any trouble to the Sui army.

However, the general strategy of the Sui army at that time was to attract the main force of the commercial army to fight a decisive battle south of the Yangtze River, and then Luo Yao led the army to go around from behind the commercial army to Yongzhou. When Yongzhou fell, two-thirds of the territory of Shang was not conquered by the Sui army.

Then came the decisive battle on the Yangtze River bank, which ended in the great victory of the Sui army. Luo Yao invaded the capital again, and all parts of the Shang country surrendered one after another. Because the people were squeezed so hard, there were many places where the Sui army tied up local officials and opened the door to surrender.

Therefore, the people in Southwest China have hatred for the great Sui Dynasty and feelings for the great Sui Dynasty.

Because there were too many people killed by Luo Yao in Yongzhou City, the people near Yongzhou were mostly awed rather than convinced of the great Sui Dynasty from beginning to end. But in those places where they surrendered, the people felt that life after belonging to the great Sui Dynasty was much better than before. After all, the emperor of the great Sui Dynasty issued many decrees beneficial to the people after the destruction of business.

More than a hundred years have passed.

The war seems to be coming to this rich place in the southwest again.

This time is different from the last time. The last time was a confrontation between countries. This time, it was Fang Xie's division to expand his own strength. If you want to make the four Town clothes in the southwest, you must show the strength that makes those people afraid. If you don't fight a few beautiful battles and kill a few stubborn people, you can't scare the local officials who have practiced courage under Luo Yao.

At the beginning, where the Sui army went, many people of the Shang country opened the door and surrendered, but Fang liberated the troops to the south, this would not have happened.

Before entering the army, Fang Xie sent a personal letter to Zhong Xin, governor of beihui Road, telling Zhong Xin that if he was willing to declare that beihui road would be under the jurisdiction of the black flag army from now on and was willing to offer enough money and food, the black flag army could go south without mentioning troops and provide protection for beihui road. If Zhong Xin is unwilling to do so, it is OK. The black flag army will take beihui road in a more direct way.

Zhong Xin's reply to Fang Xie came quickly. Only twenty days later, his confidants took his personal letter to Zhuque mountain stronghold.

The visitor claims to be Niu tamp. He is one of Zhong Xin's capable staff. Just looking at his name will make people think that he is a wild Murano who doesn't know big words, but this person doesn't look like a little strong. He looks very thin. He is about 1.7 meters tall. It's good to have a hundred pounds. The clothes on him were loose and could be put down in a gust of wind.

Goat face and beard, but it's ox.

Fang Xie, sitting in the handsome position, took out the letter and looked at it. He found that it was very sincere between the lines, but Zhong Xin naturally wouldn't offer the North emblem road so easily. After all, he is still the man of Luo Yao, king of Yong. Zhong Xin meant that he was the governor of the great Sui Dynasty and had the responsibility of guarding the land and loving the people. He did not dare to easily meet the black flag army to take over beihui road. However, if the black flag army was short of money, grain and materials, he was willing to discuss with the famous families and large families in the North Hui Road to raise a batch of grain, grass and baggage to Huangyang road.

The letter was handed to Fang Xie together with a gift list.

After reading the letter, Fang Xie unfolded the gift list and couldn't help laughing.

Governor Zhong Xinzhong was generous. He gave 20 Dongzhu, 5000 liang of gold, 10000 liang of silver, two authentic calligraphy and paintings of the previous dynasty, a four foot high red coral, and some gadgets. The total price was more than 70000 liang of silver.

"It is said that the southwest is rich and rich. Looking at this gift list can prove that this statement is true."

Fang Xie smiled and handed the gift list to Wu Yi: "Lord Zhong is willing to spend money to buy peace. But..."

Fang Xie glanced at Niu tamp and his tone turned cold: "Lord Zhong doesn't seem to know what's going on... He said that he was a governor of the Sui Dynasty and had the responsibility of guarding the land and loving the people. Naturally, it doesn't need to be said. Does Lord Zhong need to remind me of this? My black flag army was built by your majesty himself, and I was ordered by your majesty to take the black flag army to protect the southwest of the Sui Dynasty. I want to enter beihui road and have a decree to eliminate the bandits in the southwest. How... Difficult Lord daozhong treats me like a bandit? Is he going to spend a lot of money on peace, or is he a bandit! "

The cold drink startled the ox rammer. He quickly bowed his head and said: "The governor actually means that beihui road is peaceful and stable, and there are no bandits running rampant under the governor. Naturally, the money is not for peace, but for the governor's labor. The senior general led the army to the north to work hard, and the governor specially asked me to express his condolences for him. The governor means that since there are no bandits in beihui Road, the senior general will not be in trouble You don't have to... "

He looked at Fang Xie's face and said cautiously: "The governor said that the soldiers work hard and the soldiers work harder. Since beihui road is safe, there is no need for the general to go again. Moreover, the people in the southwest have had a hard life in recent years, and beihui road has suffered the worst drought in a hundred years. Even if the general leads the army south, I'm afraid the gain is not worth the loss..."

"For the sake of the people of beihui Road, as long as the senior general doesn't lead the army to the south, the governor and the elders of the aristocratic families of beihui road will naturally be grateful to you. If it were a senior general..."

"What?"

Fang Xie smiled and asked, "if I go my own way, then I will offend him, Zhong Xin and the famous families of beihui road?"

"No, no!"

Zhong Xinlian hurriedly said, "the general means that if it's not troublesome, it's not troublesome. After all... It was Luo Yao, king of Yong, who guarded beihui road at the beginning, wasn't it?"

Fang Xie's face was cold when he heard this sentence. He slapped the handsome case: "fork this disordered minister and thief down for me and beat the fifty army staff!"

……

……

Niu tamp trembled with fear and begged for mercy: "the senior general, please calm down! The junior general just came by the order of our governor. The senior general, please listen to what the junior general said clearly."

Fang Xie pointed to him and said angrily, "the anti thief Luo Yao established himself as king in Miaofeng Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. Now he is leading his troops north to attack Chang'an. You are so rebellious that you call him king Yong. It seems that you and the governor behind you are Luo Yao's accomplices. In that case, I have something to say with you, come!"

Fang Xie shouted, and four Xiaoqi schools came in immediately.

"Please give orders!"

"Pull this man out and beat him to death!"

"Here"

At Fang Xie's command, the four Xiaoqi schools immediately rushed up like wolves and pressed the cow rammer. They couldn't help but give a few punches on the face, broke their nose and bruised their eyes. After a few punches, the guy as thin as dead wood gained a lot of weight on his face and looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"General, spare your life!"

Niu tamp struggled and begged: "the humble position is naturally an official of the great Sui Dynasty. He is naturally loyal to the king and patriotic. Please forgive the great general for his slip of the tongue. Luo Yao's traitor will be killed. How can the humble position be his accomplice. If the humble position sees him, he will eat his meat and drink his blood! The governor has a lot to say about the humble position. The great general will spare his life."

Fang Xie waved his hand and said, "then I'll listen to what Zhong Xin has to say."

The cow rammer rubbed his swollen face and his voice trembled: "The governor's meaning is that if the senior general doesn't lead the army to the south, the governor can't admit that beihui road is under the rule of the senior general. Moreover, the governor and some old men of aristocratic families also said that if the senior general agrees, the governor will raise a batch of money and food to deliver, and will offer it every year in the future, which will never be less."

"Oh?"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "it seems that the governor is very confident in the North emblem road under his control. Is it true that there are no thieves in the North emblem road? I have been ordered to eliminate the bandits in the southwest. I am sorry for your trust and have great trust. If your majesty asks about it in the future, I will bear the responsibility."

"Back to the big general, beihui road is very peaceful. There is no disorderly thief!"

Niu rammer hurriedly followed Fang Xie's words.

"Well"

Fang Xie nodded: "I was born in the army and didn't have so many thoughts. I like to talk straight and like others to tell me the truth. You can't lie to me. If beihui road really doesn't have a thief, I don't have to lead the army south and spend money and food..."

"Don't worry, general. What you say is the truth!"

Niu tamp nodded and bowed.

"In that case, let me ask you."

Fang Xie squinted at Niu tamp and asked, "how much money, food and labor are the governor and those aristocratic family masters willing to take out?"

"This..."

Niu tamp thought for a moment and replied, "a lowly man is too modest to make an opinion. Why don't the senior general ask me to go back and ask the governor, and then collect the money, food and materials and send them to the senior general? The governor said that he has heard a lot about the reputation of the senior general and is willing to make friends with you."

"Ha ha"

Fang Xie smiled and said: "I am most willing to make friends... Go back and tell the governor that since he is so sincere, I am not unreasonable. Well, 500000 stone grain and grass, 1 million Liang silver, 3000 pieces of Shu Brocade and brocade, 200000 feather arrows and 30000 sets of armor... I will ask someone to write a document for you to take back. If the governor is willing to give it to me A friend, the black flag army will not take a step into the North emblem road. "

"I've written it down!"

Niu tamp scolded in his heart. It was really black, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. I only got a beating this time. It's good to go back. How dare he stay again.

After Niu tamp retired, Wu Yi smiled and asked Fang Xie, "what, are you really going to talk to Zhong Xin?"

Fang Xie nodded and smiled: "Of course, we need to talk seriously. I'm going to ask sun Kaidao, who is patrolling in Qibei County, to come back and let him preside over the matter. This man is particularly sensitive to silver. Let him talk as if he has to do something. The harder he talks, the better. If he is perfunctory, Zhong Xin will pay out if he doesn't see any flaws. Sun Kaidao is a good negotiator. I'm very considerate What I want is that Zhong Xin thinks I'm just trying to blackmail his money and food this time, so I'm going to blackmail it solemnly! "

"In addition, let the army step up preparations and wait for the money, grain and materials sent by Zhong Xin, which can just be used as food and grass for the army..."

Wu Yi laughed, especially Changran.
