Conquer the World

Chapter Five-Ninety-Six

Although it is late autumn, the weather on Huangyang Road is much warmer than that of the northwest, and much warmer than that of Chang'an City.Although it is still inferior to Jiangnan and the most southwestern part of the Great Sui Dynasty, it does not make people feel cold.If in Fan Gu, this month was already snow-capped.

Over the past few months, the Black Flag Army has been attacking continuously, taking most of Huang Yangdao into his arms step by step. Tian Xin, who cares for Luo Yao ’s nursing home, seems to have become blind and deaf. In response, the Black Flag Army went further and he took a step back.

Chen Qianshan and Cui Zhongzhen were ordered to lead the army for more than 40,000 to advance eastward, breaking the connection between Xinkoucang and Xinyang City, but even so, no soldiers came out of Xinyang City.Perhaps Tian Xin knows that his current strength and the Black Flag Army have no way to fight hard. If there is no problem in defending the city, if he is out of the city, he is quite afraid of the tens of thousands of Black Flag Army.

The military newspaper in front kept sending it back to Suzakuyama. Fang Jie increasingly believed that Luo Yao had changed his original intention.At first, he did have the mind to fight for the Central Plains, but now he is only looking at the male city called Chang'an.

In the meeting hall, Fang Jie stood in front of the huge map and watched the marked situation intently.

The newly promoted civil servant Du Gu Wen Xiu walked in with a thick stack of copywriting, respectfully disrespectful: "Have seen the general"

Du Gu Wenxiu is a famous family, and Du Gu Family is also a first-rate giant in Da Sui.If it weren't for the emperor's big move in Chang'an City, there are still many people in Dugu's family who are officials in the court.Speaking of that, he and the original Sui Lishu Shangshu Du Gujing were still cousins, but he was born as a son, so his status was far less than that of Du Gujing.

When Huai Qiugong had a serious illness, Du Gujing temporarily took the post of Lishu Shangshu. He could have gone further, but this person was also a strange person. After hearing that Huai Qiugong had recovered, he immediately resigned.The emperor promised him to resign from the bureau of Shang Li, but he was turned into a clerk Shang Shu, with more power.

Later, because of involvement in Prince Yi's case, he was ousted by the emperor.However, according to analysis, the emperor's dismissal of him and Luo Weiran were driven out of Chang'an City out of the same thought.The emperor wanted to rectify the Chang'an courtiers. In order to protect these important ministers that were indispensable to the Great Sui, he sent them out of Chang'an City first in order to prevent them from being implicated.

Later, this talent, who was particularly valued by the emperor, was said to be unhappy at home after being removed from office, and became ill for a long time, but he was unable to save his life.

However, Fang Jie also knows that Du Gu's death is not because of any serious illness.

The emperor ’s thoughts did not hide those people. He sent several courtiers he valued to Changan, and the people in the dark might have guessed the emperor ’s arrangement very early, just as Huai Qiugong died in depression in his hometown of Jiangnan After they returned home, they were actually controlled by those in secret.

Huai Qiugong died in anger, obviously because of despair.

Du Gu said that he died of illness, and that in all cases he was killed.

Su Chongli was still alive, but the Su family mansion was surrounded by 500 soldiers sent by Pang Ba, and the Su family was not free even to enter or leave. Even if Su Zhongli had the right time to return to Chang'an City, he had no chance.It is said that Pang Ba asked Su Chongli more than once to take him under his account as an official, but Su Chongli refused to follow, and it was estimated that he would not be far away from death.

"what's up?"

Fang Jie took over the hot tea that Mu San handed him.

Mu San immediately withdrew from the meeting hall, far away.Fang Xie glanced at the little eunuch, and he had to praise him with insight in his heart.

"General, this is the statistics of the autumn grain harvest in various places."

Dugu Wenxiu set out and said, "Because Tuntian in Shannan is still plowing the land and planting, so the harvest of autumn grains is not much. It is estimated that the harvest will have to wait until next summer when the grain is harvested. There are several big rivers crossing Huangyang Road, so it has never been a place to eat by rain. It is harvested in Chengdu every year. It is just that the food in Huangyang Road was scrapped by Luo Yao in the past two years last year, so it was a bit difficult. "

"Just know a number."

Fang Xie waved his hand and said: "Since I have already instructed, this year, if I do not accept one grain of food from the people, I will naturally not be able to go back on my own."

"Subordinates understand."

Dugu Wenxiu put aside the brochures from various newspapers and took out another copy and handed it to Fang Jie: "This is the document sent by Governor Sun to send someone. Please look at the general."

Fang Jie took a look at it and found that Sun Kaidao was indeed a decisive character. After patrolling outside for more than a month, he cut off seven local officials. The people below have given him a nickname called Sun Zhengdao.

"How many barren fields have been opened in Shannan?"

Fang Xie asked while looking over.

"There are already no less than 250,000 mu."

Du Gu Wenxiu replied: "In the past few months, more and more recruits have come to vote, and those who have passed the selection are sent to the southern part of the country to train on the wasteland. The progress is very fast."

"Ok"

"Duo Gu"

Fang Xie looked at Du Gu Wenxiu and asked, "I want to ask you something."

"Excuse me, the subordinate knows everything."

"What I want to ask is, among those who gathered in the Tonggu Academy, are you alone?"

Du Gu Wenxiu's complexion obviously changed, and then nodded: "This matter is not very clear to the subordinates, although the subordinates are members of the Dugok family, but because they are sorrows, there are not many things that can be touched. Most of them are controlled by the heirs. Most of us share the chaos of family property. However, my mother once mentioned it by accident, saying that the chief of the Du Gu family will go to Jiangnan at least once a year. "

Fang Xie nodded: "Since this is the case, why is Du Gujing forced to death?"

Du Gu Wenxiu was silent for a while and said, "The general also knows that everything in Du Gu's home is not particularly consistent ... Moreover, nothing is prepared for everything. Du Gujing is too loyal to the emperor, so ..."

Fang Xing said: "This sentence is pertinent ... so, you are also another option for Du Gu Family, right?"

Hearing this sentence, Du Gu Wenxiu's complexion suddenly changed, and the hand holding the book shook, and those books almost fell to the ground.He raised his head and looked at Fang Xie, then quickly hung down, daring not to look directly.

...

...

"Anyway"

Fang Jie smiled and said: "You should know that I always use people to be informal, even if you are a person sent by Du Gujia, but you have real talent and learn, so I apply it correctly. Most of the things in the fame are not understood. Asking you today is just because of curiosity. "

Du Gu Wenxiu stood for a moment, put down the book in his hand, and then knelt down: "The general is right, I am indeed the elders of the family arranged to vote for the general. First, I trusted Mr. Sun's relationship Referrals. "

"Sun Kaidao collected your money?"

Fang Xie said lightly.

"Yes……"

Du Gu Wenxiu said: "It's just that his subordinates don't know how much money Mr. Sun spent in his family."

Fang Jie smiled: "You don't seem to be a deep-hearted person, Dugujia sent you here, mostly because they look down on me, and think that a person like me is not enough to select the outstanding characters of Dugujia. However, I know that often Most of the outstanding people have children. "

Fang Jie thought of Li Xiaozong.

"Although the subordinates are members of the Du Gu family, they lived quite bitterly since they were young. If they were not cousins ​​alone, they would not be able to survive, and they would not live as well as ordinary people."

Dugu Wenxiu said: "The subordinates concealed these things, and asked the general to punish them."

"What do you punish you for?"

Fang Xie smiled and waved his hand: "Get up, I said that just now, I know that you are a person sent by Du Gujia, but I still want to use you, and I reuse you, the value is your talent, not Your origin, your purpose. As long as you do things safely and securely, I will assume that you do n’t know about it. "

Du Gu Wenxiu gave a heavy knock: "The grace of General Xie."

"You show your temperament, but it fits your name."

Fang Xie said: "I have sent someone to pick up your mother, and the only one who can threaten you is the old man. The person from Xiaoqi School sent back the news yesterday and has entered Huangyang Road. It's time to go to Suzakuyama. I ordered someone to build a small courtyard in the beautiful scenery under the mountain, and you and your mother would live there. When the old man arrives, I will give you ten days to accompany her and get acquainted with here. life."

"General General ..."

Dugu Wenxiu, who had just stood up, knelt down again and knocked his head heavily: "The general's kindness, his subordinates never dare to forget!"

"Because I know you are such a person, I will treat you with sincerity."

Fang Jie smiled and said: "One month ago, the copywriter Pei Song from Tuntian was chopped off my head because of his negligence. Twenty days ago, Bo Liushouren, the owner of Daying Grain and Grass, cut my head because of stealing money and grain. Half a month ago, Yuan Wenmao, a pen officer in the army, cut my head because of a drunkenness. Four days ago, Tian Yi joined the army because I couldn't order it. I was ordered to hit 30 army sticks and went back to the ground. He died three days later. "

Fang Xiequ calculated with his fingers: "Everyone who sent me here, I refused to accept them all, but it does not mean that I am a fool, I stay, but I will kill if I don't do anything for me. You and them Different, doing things well, I will be kind to myself. "

"Subordinate ... Remember!"

Dugu Wenxiu touched the bottom with his head and dared not get up.

"In the beginning of the big camp, Pepsi is still in business, and I lack talent."

Fang Xie went over and leaned over to help Dugu Wenxiu: "I don't care what kind of person I came to trust me, no matter how famous or cold, I will stay as long as I have real knowledge. Man, I stayed just to kill ... These days, only you have worked hard after you arrived in Daying, and you have never inquired about the privacy in Daying, but I know you will do it sooner or later because your mother is still at home . "

"Since I value you, I'm naturally reluctant to kill you. If I watched you follow the same path as those guys who cut my head, I can't bear it. So I will send someone to find a way to steal your mother from Du Gu's house. It ’s my pains to come out, I just do n’t want you to go the wrong way. ”

"Subordinate ..."

Du Gu Wen Jing's shoulders were trembling, unable to speak.

"Do n’t think too much, stay in the camp and do things well. My men are not only lacking generals who can conquer good warfare, but also lacking literati. What I should do after I go back, in addition ... Mr. Sun has collected your money, Don't mention it. "

Du Gu Wen Jing nodded quickly: "My subordinates remember."

"Go"

Fang Jie waved his hand: "After your mother arrives, I will entrust you with another important job."

Mountain Pavilion

After drinking a glass of wine, Wu Yidao narrowed his eyes and said, "Jiuxiao, have you been more murderous recently? Those who are sent by the family are not necessarily bad things to keep."

Fang Xie smiled and said, "Kill some and leave some to make those people more reliable. If I blindly pretend to know nothing, they will feel that my heart is too deep, so beware of me. I will kill some of them. Said insignificant little people, instead of belittle me because of my ecstatic performance, I feel that I am just a reckless man. "

He drank the wine from the glass: "Now, I need to be taken lightly."

Wu Yi laughed and toasted: "I just need to be taken lightly for this sentence, and drink a big glass!"
