Chapter 767

Wu Yi looked at Fang Xie with a tired face, hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "there has been news from Peicheng. Xia Hou and Qin yuan have taken Peicheng. Bai Kaishan and most of his generals have been captured and detained alive. Xia Hou sent someone to ask the Lord when to go?"

Fang Xie rubbed the wrinkled eyebrow corner: "deal with the matter of sealing and leveling first, and then set off for Peicheng tomorrow."

Dugu Wenxiu was silent for a moment and asked: "Sir, now our troops, Liu Xuri's headquarters, stay in Qingyuan City. If we leave another army in Fengping and another army in Peicheng... This is not the way. The total number of infantry battalions is only 50000 or 60000, and there are more than 30000 cavalry. After winning the four cities north of Dali, the remaining troops are not enough to attack Dali..."

Fang Xie nodded: "discuss with Wei Xiting and choose the people supported by Lao Cheng from the following people to stay in each city, rectify the people and distribute the fields. For the time being, only 2000 troops are left in each city, and then recruit new troops and leave veterans for training. I have sent people to Yongzhou and bring people and horses to attack Dali. At least 100000 troops should be enough."

"But..."

Wei Xiting hesitated and asked, "there are too few troops left to subdue the place. After all, there are many aristocratic families in each city. Each family has at least two or three hundred private soldiers and at most six or seven hundred people. These people are not satisfied. If the army withdraws, there will be no trouble."

"No"

Fang Xie shook his head slowly: "after the city was broken, I have sent someone to inform Liu Xuri to kill all the big families with private soldiers in the city, and half of the money and food obtained will be distributed to the people and half will be reserved for military use. The same is true for Fengping City, Pei City, even if Dali is broken in the future. I don't have too many troops to share the remaining evils, so I have to leave no remaining evils."

What a bloody smell does this sentence leave no residue?

Fang Xie glanced at the expression on his men's faces and said softly: "Nanyan is different from the great Sui Dynasty. If I were to break through the cities in the great Sui Dynasty, I would definitely not kill people like this. When the Shang state perished, the knives of the great Sui Dynasty were not cut on the Nanyan people, and they didn't know the pain. If I were gentle, these people would feel that they are very important and that I can be bullied. Moreover, my military strength is really poor, and a large number of people and horses are left in every city Actual. "

"If you want to keep a place quiet, and it's not your own home... There's no other way except to kill those who can make trouble. I know that someone below has said that I'm cruel, especially among civil servants. Just now..."

Fang Xie pointed to the door: "when I ordered Qin yuan to lead the troops to kill those unconvinced people outside the door, an old scholar named Nie Li pointed at my nose and scolded me, saying I was cruel and unkind. He was one of the sages I invited in Huangyang Road, a famous Confucian in Huangyang road..."

"He has told me many times that if you want to achieve great things, you should take tolerance as the foundation and killing is not advisable. Last time, after I ordered to kill 600000 he people in Yongzhou, he told me for a full hour. He wanted to scold my ancestors for three generations. If I knew who my ancestors were, I would teach the old man a lesson for them."

"But this time, I still couldn't help it. He forgot his duty when he was old. I can remind me when I did something wrong, but don't lose the rules. He can't stand the military law at his age, so I sent someone to send him back to Huang Yang Dao's hometown and beat his son's thirty army staff."

The people were stunned, and Qilin couldn't help laughing.

Fang Xie sat up straight and said: "When I was in Chang'an City, I heard a lot of anecdotes about the former dynasty, especially when Wenyuan Pavilion and the old gentlemen of the Imperial College talked. Every time they mentioned Zheng LiZong in the former dynasty, they said that the emperor was good. They could listen to the advice of the following people. Even if the words were fierce, they would not blame him. Once, Emperor LiZong was happy because a high-ranking imperial concubine gave birth to a son and had dinner He drank a little more wine when he was in the palace. As a result, the crown prince and the crown Fu came into the palace to report the crown prince's studies and asked about the emperor's wine spirit. The crown prince and the crown Fu began to scold the emperor. "

"The more he said, the more intense he became. Finally, he pointed to the direction of the temple and scolded the emperor for being confused and drinking. Emperor LiZong did not explain, but humbly accepted the blame of the Taifu. Since then, he has rarely drunk alcohol. Those old gentlemen praised it unanimously. This is the way of kings and officials..."

Fang Xie shook his head: "at that time, I wanted to pull out their moustaches, but I didn't dare. It's just that I added children to drink and was scolded. After dinner, the palace gate has been banned, and the ministers can go into the palace to see the emperor at any time. The emperor is not a good temper, but a coward."

"What Nie Li said is reasonable, but if anyone comes to scold my three generations because he thinks he is reasonable, I don't think I have such a long-term good temper. I only beat his son's thirty army staff. If he scolds like this, I'll dig the graves of his three generations. You may think I'm so rude, barbaric, unreasonable and free... I've made mistakes. Any of you can point to me face Come out, I'll judge whether it's reasonable, not if the person thinks it's reasonable. "

After explaining these words, Fang was silent for a while and asked, "how do you guard the three big cities you have won? What do you think is the best way?"

Dugu Wenjing and Wei Xiting looked at each other, and they shook their heads at the same time: "the previous method is the best."

Wu Yi was stunned, sighed slightly and didn't speak.

The Qilin standing behind Fang Xie couldn't help laughing. He felt impolite and turned around quickly, but he just wanted to laugh.

Fang Xie stood up and said, "if there's nothing else, let's go and follow me to do a few things. Wei Xiting, you should prepare for the funeral of the old city Lord Zhu Baotian. It's more serious. There's no Zhu family around him, but the old lady is still built. Choose some Fengping veterans and send the old lady back to Dali."

Wei Xiting nodded hurriedly, "my subordinates will do it in a minute."

"I've never been too lazy to mention the knife and drop the knife. But some people can kill, others can't. some people can kill openly, and some can only kill secretly. What I said is too explicit. You're all close to me, so I don't avoid anything... There are six generals under Zhu Baotian. To tell the truth, there are advantages. Go back and relax Jin Hou Talk one by one. I'll stay with those who are willing to follow me. At least, they haven't forgotten the word loyalty and righteousness. As for those who are unwilling to stay, just let them leave the city. "

"I see."

Wu Yidao nodded.

Let go?

He smiled in his heart. If he really let go, there was no need to say that some people were killed in the open, and some people could only be killed in the dark. Although the other party was dissatisfied with the way how to subdue the cities, he increasingly liked the way Fang Xie did things. No matter from what point of view, Fang Xie is now more and more like an owl.

……

……

"Dugu..."

Fang Xie said as he walked: "There are 500000 people in these three cities. I'm afraid there will be more. We must be careful to find the officials left behind. Tell them that we only need to remember one thing to win the hearts of the people. I kill all the people who should be killed, and the rest can win the hearts of the people. Especially the hearts of the people, we occupy these three cities, but we can't let the people in these three cities hate the black flag army. When we say it, we have to say that the black flag army is good If this is done, I will increase the rank and rank of those left behind. "

Today, Fang Xie's words have become more and more surprising. Before, he used the analogy of the previous emperor, but now he uses the word "increase official rank and rank". Although some changes can't be said clearly, smart people can see them.

Now Fang Xie's followers are smart enough.

"The people left behind should at least be careful. The next step is to settle the people and divide the fields. It's a hard job and can kill people on the ground. So don't let the officials feel bitter. It's enough to be bitter. Later, you draw up a list and I'll see how many people directly allocate a sum of silver from the seized materials as salaries. Under my hand, the county magistrate of grade seven takes the silver of grade three I'm not stingy. I want people who work for me sincerely to have a lot of officials and money, but their hands should be clean. "

"Hands and feet are clean, and there is a bright future in the future."

"My subordinates remember"

Dugu Wenxiu thought for a moment and said, "but it will take a long time. There are not many civil servants in the army. On the one hand, they need to transfer people from Yongzhou to make up for it, and they also need to take talents from the local place. My subordinates think it's better to keep a stable person. When the three cities are stable, they can catch up with the army."

"Wei Xiting, you stay."

Fang Xie said, "you think about the land division thoroughly and it's easy to do. I'll give you the right to appoint and remove officials in the three cities and the right to transfer troops and horses in each city, but I'll give you a time limit... After I take Dali City, you can manage the three cities well."

"Lord, don't fight too fast..."

Wei Xiting said in a low voice.

"I know it's complicated. Before Dugu left with the army, you two should discuss more. If you two are uncertain, you can go to discuss with the marquis."

After this sentence, Wu Yidao quickly flashed out and bowed and said, "Lord, please have a subordinate."

"Say"

"My Lord, the title of San Jin Hou on my body was granted by the former Emperor of the Sui Dynasty and is not counted in our black flag army. My Lord, I'd better not call my subordinates Hou ye in the future. My subordinates are terrified."

Fang Xie smiled: "what are you afraid of? If I can enfeoffe now, you are not a duke, but a Duke!"

Hearing these words, Wu Yidao worshipped again: "please be fair to your subordinates."

"Just listen to you."

Fang Xie waved his hand and said, "what should we call in private? At most, I won't call you Hou ye in front of outsiders."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Wu straightened up and took a step back behind Fang Xie.

At this time, someone suddenly ran from the outside and said eagerly, "Lord, a carriage came from Chang'an city to escort an important person to see you."

The solution nodded. "Let's go ahead. Let's play it in front of our princess."

……

Fengpingcheng East Gate

The black flag soldiers on both sides of the official road stood in two rows, their chests were straight, and their bodies were straight and majestic. Many soldiers carried new soil from a distance and paved this section of the road to cover up the still faintly visible blood. In the distance of the official road, a team of black flag cavalry came slowly with a carriage.

Fang Xie took all the generals of the black flag army and stood outside the door. After the carriage stopped, a slender jade hand lifted the curtain. Yang Qinyan, the princess of the Sui Dynasty, who specially changed into beautiful clothes, came out of the carriage. Her hand covered her eyes and adapted to the light outside the carriage. Then she saw dozens of generals in armor standing in front of the door waiting for her.

"At last, the black flag army will be resolved to meet the royal highness of the princess!"

Fang Xie put his right fist on his chest and gave a standard big Sui military salute. Dozens of armored generals behind him, together with the powerful black flag soldiers on both sides, raised their right arms and saluted solemnly!

At this moment, Yang Qinyan tried not to cry. She tried her best to control herself, got out of the carriage slowly and said, "excuse me!"

Everyone put their arms down and waited for her to speak.

"You..."

Yang Qinyan opened his mouth and finally said, "thank you!"
