Chapter 540 Raising Soldiers

Back in the cottage, it was almost time when the White Lion of Fang Jie entered the cottage gate and caused a riot. Fortunately, the White Lion seemed to have no interest in the amazing soldiers, but just honestly followed the Fang Jie.In fact, it is strange to understand myself. This is the first time this lion has met with himself, but why did he behave like this?

Sun Kaidao and others greeted Fang Jie into the big tent. The generals above the fourth grade were not asleep. The lights in the big tent were extremely bright, and the flames crackled.

"General"

Sun Kaidao explained the situation in detail, and then marked on the map while saying: "You see, Gao Kaitai rebelled on Hexi Road, and the soldiers and the general Wang Yiqu blocked the river, and then it took less than a month. He Dongdao was captured, and now the high thieves are in full force. Yuan Tingshan, the governor of Hedong Road, did not expect such a change at all, and it was too late to convene the county to conquer Ye City. "

"The loss of Hedong Road, the emperor's way back to Chang'an is completely broken. Even if he crossed Mangdang Mountain to Huangyang Road, Luo Yao was waiting there for the same road. The emperor should never have thought that he was at the most critical moment. The arranged people will raise their flags to rebel when the rebellion is about to end. Gao Kaitai leads the 200,000 war soldiers assigned to him by the emperor, plus nearly one hundred thousand sailors from Wang Yiqu, the strong soldiers , How could the local soldiers be able to stop it. "

"and so……"

Sun Kai apologized and said: "The subordinates knew that the general had returned, so Chen Xiaoru immediately rushed over and asked you to return to the cottage for discussion."

Fang Xie frowned slightly and listened to Sun Kaidao's words. After all these things had been sorted out in his mind: "You are worried ... The emperor knows that there is no road to the east and no door to the south, will he return to Jinyang?"

"Correct"

Sun Kaidao leaned over and said: "If the emperor returned to Jinyang, he would be afraid to send someone to contact us immediately. His subordinates worried that although the soldiers had many complaints about the emperor, after all, they had been soldiers of the Sui Dynasty for so many years. In case the emperor makes any promises or profits, it is difficult to guarantee that the soldiers will not have any changes in their minds. The emperor has nowhere to go now. He must recruit more people to help him get through to Chang'an ... "

"It's not just us, I'm afraid that the emperor will not even conquer the rebellion of long lived Meng Meng Yin Po Shan."

Fang Xing said: "Your guess is correct, the battle situation has changed. The emperor abandoned the Black Flag Army because he felt worth it, but now our Black Flag Army has become a knife he must go back to."

"So, the subordinates ask the general to make a decision early."

Sun Kaidao pointed to the map and said: "Subordinates have sent a large number of flying fish robe into Huangyang Road. Over the past month after the general left, there have been news from Huangyang Road. The flying fish robe has determined several places suitable for garrison. It's quite secret. As long as our tracks are well protected, it won't be noticed. After spending the winter in a remote place on Huangyang Road, we will make a decision based on the situation after the warm spring next year. "

Fang Jie was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "Let's withdraw the flying fish robe sent to Huangyang Road, let's not go to Huangyang Road."

"what?"

Sun Kaidao froze for a moment, and after a subconscious look at Fang Jie, he suddenly understood: "General means, go out of the Qingxia to the prairie?"

Fang Jie nodded and sat down and said to the crowd: "I have traveled all the way out of the canyon for more than a month and traveled nearly 10,000 miles. I also understand the current situation of Meng Yuan. The Wang Ting and Meng Yuan of Meng Yuan are fighting fiercely. Buddhism believers and herdsmen left their homes and rushed to Daxue Mountain to protect their holy land, and the men and women who supported Koktameng also gathered there. The two sides are fighting each other and the blood is flowing into the river. Now Mongolian Yuan, no people are seen everywhere.

"I haven't met a big tribe or a regular army since I left the canyon to Qinlin Gol. This war is not a victory or defeat in a while, even if it is. The victory and defeat, how much damage to the strength of both sides? Moreover, we are not going to settle on the grassland. "

Fang Xie said: "We need to take a rest, the most important thing is to supplement the war horse"

He smiled: "Now there are not many people on the grassland, and cattle, sheep and horses are not uncommon. With these things, our soldiers can eat meat every day through this winter, and then we can recruit young people and bring them to Training on the grassland, and until the Yuan Yuan Wangting and Daxue Mountain decide the victory or defeat, we will develop a team of Qingqi who acts like wind. "

"Moreover, we can make the final decision."

"Yup!"

Sun Kaidao's eyes lit up: "We built a stone wall in the gorge, and only need to send someone to guard, and no one can easily pass by. Does the emperor still spend heavy troops to attack at this time? Since the grassland is already an undefended place, indeed It ’s better than going to Huangyang Dao for an adventure. The most important thing is that, as the general said, it is to supplement the war horses. "

"Just one year"

Sun Kaidao said with a smile: "If we are lucky, we can turn all these fifty thousand people into cavalry!"

The generals have not adapted to this sudden change, but everyone thought about it and found that this is indeed the best choice.Eating cattle and sheep abandoned by the herdsmen on the grassland, riding the horses they lost, and spent the winter comfortably, taking advantage of the fact that the Mongolian people have no time to care for them, it can take a year or even longer Develop his own strength and wait until he grows up before returning to the northwest. At that time, the emperor was dead.

What's more, the canyon is in the hands of the Black Flag Army, and they can enter and exit.

"This trip to the grassland."

Fang Jie smiled and said: "My biggest gain was that the chaos in Mengyuan was more thorough than the chaos in the Great Sui Dynasty. I ran for three hundred miles a day and saw cattle and sheep grazing in the middle of the road. The wolf cavalry can't see it. The big tribes are in Daxueshan or on the way to Daxueshan. The small tribes are afraid to be implicated and migrate to the south ... Now they are out of the canyon, at least a few thousand miles with armor We ca n’t see that the prairie people believe in longevity, but now their longevity has prepared gifts for us. "

"Tianyu ... can I take it?"

...

...

Although Fang Jie's decision was a little more abrupt, he immediately got everyone's support.Now their strength is not enough to confront any party. If the emperor surrendered Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan, and then pardoned the rebels, it would not take long to estimate that they would be able to regain an army of one hundred thousand, and the emperor would definitely march forward.

At this time, the emperor will definitely not go south to fight Luo Yao again.

Luo Yao estimated that there would be a response, leaving soldiers and horses to block Huang Yangdao from the emperor, and then he might rush to Ye Jinnan Army and direct a million troops to Jiangnan.Someone once said that those who have won Jiangnan will have the world.The hometown of fish and rice in Jiangnan, where there is no shortage of money and food, a large population and sufficient soldiers.As long as they occupy the south of the Yangtze River, they will be able to rule the Yangtze River with the Yang Family.

If there is no accident, Luo Yao must first ping Jiangnan and then march north.His strength is too great, and he urgently needs to supplement supplies in the rich land.The farther the battle line is, the longer the line becomes, and the more impractical it is to transport grain from Xinkou warehouse.Across the river, it is not easy to transport grain from Xinkou warehouse to Jiangnan.

Although it seems that the Black Flag Army's retreat into the prairie is very passive, and even an evasive move, it is indeed extremely beneficial for the use of troops in the future.Nowadays, it is the time when the water and grass are abundant on the grassland, and only the cattle and sheep discarded by the herdsmen can be collected to spend the winter in peace.

After the emperor and Gao Kaitai fought, Fang Jie then returned with the Black Flag Army. Whether it was southward or eastward, there was a strong cavalry team in hand, and the most mobile, the most mobile, no one could help.

After the decision, the army immediately prepared to leave.

The carefully repaired Fan Gucheng can not be discarded, this is the lookout post of the Black Banner Army.Fang Jie left two thousand people to guard the city, and all the remaining horses left the Central Plains and entered the grasslands through the canyon.A few years later, when the soldiers set foot on the grass for the second time, everyone felt a bit different.

At that time, they came vigorously, but blood bleed everywhere.

This time, they did not encounter any enemies.Those tribes who have no time to retreat, dare to provoke tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.

Fang Jie ordered the rotation of Fan Gu to defend the army. At this time, Fan Gu was an eye, watching the changes in the Northwest of the Great Sui Dynasty, and watching the emperor struggle at the last moment.

While the emperor was still gathering the rebels on Mangdang Mountain, Fang Jie also left a group of people to recruit strong people to join the army.The people knew that General Fang loved the people like a child, so the people who signed up were very enthusiastic.

After arriving on the grassland, Fang Jie chose the army station in the pasture of Mantu Latu.This is the most beautiful piece of grassland within two thousand miles of the area. After the Mandu flag was destroyed, the neighboring flag owners continued to erode, and some small tribes also moved here to avoid oppression.Later, after the war, because there was no flag owner, this place became a paradise for small tribes.

The Fang Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan each took a thousand Qingqi to search on the grassland. When they met small tribes, they let their leaders tie the cattle and sheep to the Mandu flag to offer. The leaders of those tribes did not dare to resist, only Ability to follow.In a month, the Black Flag Army gathered no less than 100,000 cattle and sheep on the grassland and tens of thousands of war horses.

It was so easy to get that all the generals of the Black Banner Army were mad.The benefits stimulate their enthusiasm. The battalion generals take turns to expand the scope of the search, whether they have a master or no master, and pull back when they see the horse.However, according to the instructions of the Fang Jie, the Black Flag Army only took half of the war horses from those small tribes. Fang Jie was worried about taking too much. These small tribes also joined together to form a weak combat force, which can avoid trouble Just try not to touch it.

By the time the Northwest entered the winter, the people of Fang Jie had searched all over within a thousand miles.

Meng Yuan's war horses were shocking, and the Black Flag soldiers were able to get one in a few months!

Such a huge harvest makes the Black Flag soldiers happy every day.

There is no shortage of horses on the grasslands, but also cattle and sheep.This is the happiest winter the Black Flag soldiers have had since the Western Expedition. They eat meat every day, much better than on Wolf Milk Hill.

The Fang sent out a large number of scouts to inquire about Wang Ting's news, while the soldiers who stayed in Fan Gu sent information to Mandu every ten days according to his request.

It seems that this winter will pass so easily.

Happy and contented.

But just when people are getting used to ease, a message has given Fang Jie special attention.

November

The Northern Barbarians put together one of their most powerful troops in history. About 150,000 people entered the grassland from the northernmost part of Langru Mountain. While halfway along, the Northern Barbarians attacked the North Liaodi uncontrollably Trying to seize the war horse grain and grass, the result was killed by the 20,000 cold cavalry led by Wan Yan Chongde.

In desperation, the Northern Barbarians had no choice but to negotiate, and then circumvented 100,000 mountains into the grassland.

The barbarian is here

And this is just an advance army. If they find that there is no defense on the grassland, they will immediately cry like the dragon who discovered the treasure.Millions of Northern Barbarian tribes will turn over the mountains and pour into the grasslands. Barbarians who have lived in extremely harsh environments for many years will feel that the grasslands are heaven.

If the Northern Barbarians did n’t open their eyes to provoke the Black Flag Army to grab territory,

Maybe this winter will not be boring.
