Chapter 1179 with newcomers

Although Fang Xie didn't see how Thurence and Kirkbo died, he could imagine it. The angry people of Dongjiang will beat them to pulp, and will never feel pity for them because they are old people. It's as if Thurence and Kirkbo didn't feel pity for themselves because they were old men.

In fact, there will always be such things in this world.

Because he is old, he is easily forgiven. People will always say, forget it, he's that old, forgive him. Or maybe because he's so young, people will say, forget it, he's still so young, forgive him. This is a group of kind people, and when this group of good people start to become violent and start killing people, you can imagine how much hatred they are carrying.

Fang Xie didn't want to think about such a thing.

When it comes to human nature, it always feels incredible to him.

After returning from Wei An's camp, Fang Xie met Chu Juzheng. This down-and-out emperor finally has a little confidence now, after all, he has an army in his hands. Since the fall of Eastern Chu, his life has been dark, and Mu Guangling will not really help him do anything.

In Mu Mansion, he was like a prisoner.

At least, though, to live.

"Lord Wang"

Chu Juzheng owed slightly, trying his best to maintain his dignity as the emperor of Chu. Of course, only he and his down-and-out subordinates are still trying their best to maintain this bit of dignity. When the country is broken, how sad is it to work hard to maintain the honor of being an emperor?

Chu Juzheng smiled, allowing himself to be very gentle. But he was angry in his heart, because Fang Xie handed over the more than 100,000 prisoners of war to him.

"I don't know what to do with the prisoners of war?"

He asked.

Fang Xie smiled and replied, "I thought that His Majesty knew, but it turned out that His Majesty didn't know." ”

This sentence didn't sound like it had a deep meaning, but Chu Juzheng's face was slightly red. It stands to reason that there is no need for him to ask at all. Because he knew that now everyone in the Chu army was strongly demanding that those prisoners of war be executed. But Chu Juzheng didn't dare, he was afraid that the foreigners' revenge would fall on him.

In his opinion, Fang Xie was also worried about this, so he handed over all the prisoners of war to him to dispose of.

But he was wrong.

"If His Majesty is merciful, he can raise them or let them go."

Fang Xie said slowly: "I just think that these people are the most important enemies for the Chu people. Although Dongjiang is also suffering from foreigners, it is still there. The country of Majesty Xià ......"

Fang Xie paused for a moment, and did not continue to say the next few words, but turned to something else: "However, His Majesty's army currently has no food and grass supply, and my army is not very rich in food and grass, so I can't provide anything for His Majesty for the time being." If His Majesty thinks that he can keep those prisoners of war, he needs to figure out how to do it himself. ”

Chu Juzheng's face is not good-looking, but he is not the emperor now, and no matter how ugly his face is, it will not make Fang Xie worry about anything. In fact, even if he was still the emperor of the Chu State, Fang Xie would not care if his face was good-looking or not.

"I just think that killing so many people is against the peace of heaven."

"Oh"

Fang Xie sighed: "You are free." ”

Chu Juzheng scolded in his heart, the man in front of him who looked so young couldn't splash water.

"I thought it might as well be like this. Anyway, these soldiers are killed, so it is better to drive them to fight Lyman. These people have already been taken prisoner, and Lyman will not treat them well, so they should not defect back again, what does the prince think? ”

"I've given you these people."

Fang Xie waved his hand: "How to deal with it is a matter of Majesty." As for what His Majesty is going to do, there is no need to consult with me. To put it nicely, His Majesty and your army are temporarily living in Eastern Xinjiang. To put it mildly, you're on the run. If you can forgive foreigners even if your country is ruined, what else can I say? ”

Fang Xie got up and stretched his body: "Your Majesty is so kind-hearted, I somewhat understand why the Chu State will destroy the country." ”

"You!"

Chu Juzheng's face changed suddenly, and he pointed his finger at Fang Xie but didn't dare to continue.

Fang Xie glanced at him lightly: "Do you want to return to the country?" If you want to return to China, you can't do without my help? If Majesty Xià feels detached, feel free. If you feel that you can't do without it, you should still show some sincerity. I remember that the people in the green forest, the newcomers have to submit a petition before joining the house...... In this way, if he accepts the vote, others will accept him and trust him. What do you think these people in the green forest do? ”

Chu Juzheng buzzed in his head, and then he understood what Fang Xie meant.

Fang Xie just can't trust them.

The Chu army will inevitably have to fight side by side with the Black Flag Army in order to return to Eastern Chu, but Fang Xie can't trust them. Therefore, Fang Xie needs them to express their position, and the more than 100,000 prisoners of war are voters. As long as the Chu people kill those prisoners of war, they really have no way out. In the past, Lyman could recruit them, but after killing these prisoners of war, Lyman would definitely not surrender them again.

Fang Xie may not have expected them to do much on the battlefield, but Fang Xie didn't want them to drag their feet either.

"Good...... All right! ”

Chu Juzheng stood up and hugged his fists towards Fang Jie: "I will hand over this name." ”

……

……

The military intelligence was delivered in the evening, and it was urgent.

Fang Xie picked up the fire paint on the envelope, took out the letter and looked at it. The letter is from Phoenix Terrace, a handwritten letter from Nalan Dingdong. The letter said that Lyman's army was now less than 150 miles away from Phoenix Terrace, and judging from the scouts, Lyman had brought at least 600,000 troops. And this army, the most elite army of the Opru Empire, is the direct army of Lyman.

At the beginning, in order to stimulate the domestic aristocracy to participate in the war, Lyman allowed the nobles to get the maximum benefit. Therefore, in these ten years, the number of noble armies of the Opru Empire has increased exponentially. For example, the black petunia of Thurence, you must know that the Thurence family was just a second-rate family of a third-rate country at the earliest, and now it has hundreds of thousands of troops in two principalities, and this kind of exhibition is terrifying.

"The cavalry of all armies will be drawn in two days."

Fang Xie handed the military information to Sanjin Hou Wu Yiyi and ordered: "All the cavalry should prepare what they need within these two days, and they must arrive at Phoenix Terrace within ten days." ”

The current Black Flag Army, the total size of the cavalry is about 100,000. In this era, the amount of material money and food consumed to raise a cavalry of this size was an astronomical amount. That is to say, Fang Xie has such a behemoth as the goods of the world, and he is supported behind it, and if he were someone else, he was afraid that he would not even be able to raise 20,000 cavalry.

Even when the Great Sui was completely victorious, even if the Great Sui had war horses to raise, raising 100,000 cavalry with the power of the entire Great Sui was already the limit. After all, at that time, the cargo pass world would definitely not use all its strength to supply the army. Relying on the money and food of the state treasury is simply not enough.

You must know that before Li Yuanshan rebelled, he once raised a heavy cavalry.

With Li Yuanshan's dominance in the northwest, he was almost plundering the land, and he could not let the scale of the heavy cavalry exceed 3,000.

Raising a weight and riding three thousand can make an originally rich Daozhi become overstretched.

Not to mention a tired place like the Northwest?

"Whoa"

The generals of the armies agreed.

"I will go out with the cavalry, and the rest of the men and horses will be handed over to Sanjin Hou to carry."

Fang Xie looked at Wu Yiyi, and Wu Yiyi hurriedly leaned over: "The minister takes the order." ”

"We're fighting the enemy outside, but we can't ignore it at home."

Fang Xie suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the war, but this sentence made the hearts of all the generals in the big tent tighten. Because they all knew that Fang Xie mentioned the house without warning, there must be some serious arrangement. And this seemingly abrupt arrangement must be because something at home has attracted Fang Jie's attention.

"I have already sent someone to Yunnan Province to transfer Wei Xiting back to Beijing."

Fang explained: "The affairs in the court are too trivial and complicated, and Dugu is obviously a little powerless. Wei Xiting did a good job in Yunnan Province and could be reused. In addition, I asked him to recruit 50,000 troops from Yunnan Province, and now it is estimated that it has already been released. Cui Zhongzhen's men and horses are responsible for the garrison of Chang'an City, although the number of troops is not too small, but after all, the strength is still a little weak. The 50,000 men of Wei Xiting will be stationed in Gyeonggi Province. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of all the generals were shocked.

Obviously, something did happen in the court.

"Just to add troops."

Fang Xie saw that everyone's faces changed color, and after explaining lightly, he continued: "In addition, there is good news for you...... Song regretted that he broke the Mengyuan men and horses near Fangu City in the northwest and killed 100,000 enemies. Now the people of Mengyuan have been greatly injured, and they are afraid that they will not be able to recover within twenty years. I have already ordered the Song Dynasty to repent, and to be the envoy of the Northwest Dao Festival, and to give him full authority to deal with the war of the Mengyuan people. ”

Hearing that Meng Yuan was defeated, the generals were all relaxed.

"One more thing."

Fang explained: "After killing Yang Shunhui, I didn't let that army come back. The first is because of the shortage of food and grass. The second is the fear of disobedience. But over the past few days, that army has sent people over three times to ask to join the Black Flag Army...... This is because they really can't get along, they have no food, no grass, no support, and even if they have 100,000 people, they can't do anything. So...... Which of you wants to take over that team? ”

Fang Xie asked.

Everyone below fell silent.

No one would want to give up the army they have been familiar with for many years and take over an army that is unfamiliar and has no loyalty to speak of. After all, on the battlefield, it is still easy to bring the team that is easy to bring.

"Minister...... Willing to go. ”

After a while of heat, Chen Dingnan stood up and hugged his fists and said.

"The minister is also willing to go"

Du Dingbei stood up and hugged his fists.

"Dingnan, you have other things to do, just leave it to Du Dingbei."

Fang Xie glanced at Du Dingbei, and Du Dingbei hurriedly bowed to the ground: "The minister will live up to the trust of the lord." ”

"Get up."

Fang explained: "When you go back, you choose some people to take with you, and then bring a batch of grain and grass baggage." I'll let Sanjin Hou help you, and don't rush them to war when you get there. As for when the battle will begin, I will send someone to sue you. ”

At this time, everyone realized that Fang Xie did not want them to lead the team at all. must have thought about letting Du Dingbei go a long time ago, but Fang Xie was worried that the generals under him were not convinced, so he asked like this. Fang Xie knew very well that letting these people leave the team he was familiar with was not a good thing for the war. And Du Dingbei's qualifications are too shallow, if he rashly entrusts him with important tasks, he is afraid of causing dissatisfaction among his subordinates.

"Obey orders"

Duding North Vertical Road.

In fact, Du Dingbei didn't react at first, because Fang Xie hadn't talked to him. Now he is excited, he finally leads an army alone, and he is also a Great Sui soldier with a scale of about 100,000 people! For a young man like him, it's tantamount to a steady rise!

He looked at Fang Xie and knew what he could do to repay the favor of his lord.
