Chapter 598 A Serious Blackmail
The division of Huangyang Road and Beihui Road is somewhat different from the division of other roads. The division of other roads is basically divided by mountain rivers, but there are too many rivers in the southwest, but there are few mountain ranges. , The Shang State was divided into four roads, according to the Shang State map. At that time, the Emperor Da Sui was divided according to the number of counties and counties, so there was no dangerous place from Huangyang Road to Beihui Road. The ones in front of the Black Banner Army were Sturdy city.
Luo Yao's purpose is very clear. Now it seems that he is going to fight Chang'an City, so Chengchi County and counties along the way will be ignored, and the millions of troops have released their speed to kill Jiangbei Road.
The solution is different, he does not want a city.
Therefore, if you want to bring the world of Southwest Sui Dynasty into your arms, you have to fight every city.Liangcheng is a large city with a history of hundreds of years. It was the important town of Shangguo during the Shang Dynasty. In order to guard against the growing Sui Dynasty, Shangguo placed heavy troops in Liangcheng.It is a pity that the Shang State has rotted into the roots, although the deployment of heavy soldiers in the north will make the unknown dispatch impossible, because the soldiers have been extremely disappointed with the court, and no one is willing to fight desperately, so that when the Sui army went south, the north These major towns brought little trouble to Sui Jun.
However, the strategy of the Sui Army at that time was to attract the main force of the Shang Army in the south of the Yangtze River, and then Luo Yao led the army from the back of the Shang Army to the Yongzhou.When Yongzhou fell, there were still two-thirds of the territory of Shang State that was not captured by the Sui Army.
Immediately afterwards, the decisive battle on the banks of the Yangtze River ended with the victory of the Sui Army, Luo Yao entered the capital, and all the merchants surrendered because the people were crushed. Tied up and opened the door to surrender.
Therefore, the people in the southwest have hatred for the big Sui and also have feelings for the big Sui.
Because there were too many people killed by Luo Yao in the city of Yongzhou, the people near Yongzhou were always in awe of the big Sui rather than convincing.It was the places where surrendered. The people felt that after they belonged to the Sui Dynasty, they lived a lot better than before.After all, after the extermination of business, the then Emperor Sui of the Sui Dynasty issued a number of decrees beneficial to the people.
One hundred years have passed.
The war seems to be coming to this rich and prosperous place in the southwest again.
This time is different from last time. The last time was a confrontation between countries. This time, it was Fang Jie's division in order to expand his strength.If you want to serve the four towns in the southwest, you must come up with the power to scare those people. You do n’t have to fight a few beautiful battles or kill a few stubborn people. After all, you ca n’t scare those who have worked out the courage under Luo Yao. Local officials.
When the Sui Army went there, many people in the Shang Kingdom opened their doors and surrendered. However, they could not take the soldiers to the south and no such thing would happen.
Before Fang Jie entered the army, he sent a handwritten letter to the Governor of Beihui Dao Zhong Xin, telling Zhong Xin that if he was willing to declare that Beihui Dao would be under the jurisdiction of the Black Banner Army from now on, and would like to offer enough money and food, then The Black Flag Army can go south without mentioning troops and provide protection for the North Huidao.If Zhong Xin is unwilling to do so, the Black Flag Army will take Beihui Road in a more direct way.
Zhong Xin ’s reply to Fang Jie came very quickly. Only twenty days later, his cronies took his autograph to Dazhai Mountain in Zhuque Mountain.
Lai Ren claimed to be called Niu Ram, and was Zhong Xin's effective staff.Just looking at the name will make people think that he is a big man who does not know the characters, but this person has a little vigorous appearance, looks very thin, about a meter and seven meters tall, can weigh a hundred pounds Even good.The clothes were worn loosely on him, and they would fall down in a gust of wind.
Goat face goatee, but surnamed cow.
Fang Jie, who was sitting in the handsome position, took the letters out and looked at them. He found that the lines between the words were very sincere, but Zhong Xin would naturally not dedicate Beihui Dao so easily. After all, he is still the king of Yong Yao Luo Yao.Zhong Xin means that he is the governor of the Great Sui Dynasty and has the responsibility of defending the country and loving the people. He dare not easily greet the Black Flag Army to take over Beihui Road.However, if the Black Flag Army lacks money, grain and materials, he is willing to discuss with the big households of Beihui Road to raise a batch of grain and grass to be sent to Huangyang Road.
Along with this letter to the solution, there is a gift list.
After reading the letter, Fang Xie unfolded the gift list and couldn't help smiling.
The Governor Zhong Xinzhong was generous in his shots, and gave him 20 East Pearls, five thousand two golds, and ten thousand silver, two original authentic paintings of everyone, a four-foot-high red coral, and some gadgets. The total price is more than 70,000 silver.
"They all say that the southwest is rich, and looking at this gift list can prove that this is not true."
Fang Xie smiled and handed the gift list to Wu Yi: "Master Zhong bought peace, but he was willing to spend money. But ..."
Fang Xie glanced at Niu Ram, his tone slightly turned cold: "Master Zhong seems to have no idea what is going on ... He said that he is a governor of Da Sui, and he has the responsibility of defending the land and loving the people, so naturally there is no need to say this. Do you need Master Zhong to remind me? My Black Flag Army was built by His Majesty personally, and I was sent by His Majesty ’s will to take the Black Flag Army to protect the southwest of the Great Sui Dynasty. Why ... Is Master Zhong looking at me as a gangster? He planned to spend a lot of money to buy Ping An, or he was the gangster! "
The cold drink shocked the cow ram, he quickly bowed his head and said: "Admiral Governor actually means that Beihui Road is still too safe and stable, and there is no gangster under the Governor's rule. These silvers are naturally not bought. Peaceful, but the resources of the governor ’s army. The general led the army to come to the north to work hard. The governor ’s confession deliberately gave me a lot of condolences for him. The governor ’s meaning is that since there are no thieves in Chaozhou, then the general does not need to ... "
He glanced at Fang Jie's complexion and said carefully: "The governor said that the army went south to spend money and food, the soldiers also worked hard, and the general was even harder. The people in the southwest have had a hard time, and Beihui Road has suffered a drought that has not been encountered for a hundred years. Even if the general general leads the army south, he is afraid that it will not be worth the loss ... "
"For the people of Beihui Road, as long as the general does not lead the army south, the Governor General and the lords of the families of Beihui Road will naturally be grateful to the adults. If the general is ..."
"how?"
Fang Jie smiled and asked: "If I insist on doing things alone, then it is equivalent to offending him a few famous gates of Zhong Xin and Bei Hui Dao?"
"no no!"
Zhong Xin hurriedly said: "The general means that if you can do it or not, you won't be bothersome. After all ... Was it the Yong Wang Luo Yao who was defending the North Huidao?"
Fang Jie's face was cold when he heard this sentence, and he snapped the handsome case: "Give me this chaotic thief and hit fifty military sticks!"
...
...
Niu Ram shuddered, and quickly begged for mercy: "The generals are angry, the generals are pleased! The humble office just came under the orders of my governor, the general, please listen to the humble office to make it clear."
Fang Xie pointed at him with a little anger: "The anti-thief Luo Yao became a king in Miaofeng Mountain, Jiangnan, and now he is heading north to attack Chang'an. Such a big-hearted person, you actually call him King Yong. It seems that you and you are behind you The Governor Governor is Luo Yao ’s party, and since that is the case, I have nothing to say to you, come here! "
Fang Xie called, and immediately came in four Xiaoqi riding schools outside.
"Please command the general!"
"Pull this man out and beat him to death!"
"Well"
Listening to Fang Xie's instructions, the four Xiaoqi riding schools immediately rushed up like a wolf, and held the cow ram, and couldn't help but give a few punches to the face first, the nose also broke the eye socket and hit the blue, a few punches down this thin The guy with the dead wood is a lot fatter and looks much better.
"The general will spare his life!"
Niu Ram struggled and begged: "The humble office is naturally the official of the Da Sui, and he is naturally loyal and patriotic in his heart. Please ask the general to forgive the humble office for a mistake. Luo Yao, the rebel thief, is all blamed. How can the humble office be his party. If he sees him, he must eat his flesh and drink his blood! Lord Governor still has many confessions about his low office, he said, "The general will spare his life."
Fang Jie waved his hand and said: "Then I will listen to what Zhong Xin has to say."
Niu Ram rubbed his swollen face, and his voice was trembling: "Admiral Governor means that if the general does not lead the army south, then the Governor General can not admit that Beihui Road is ruled by the general. Moreover, the Governor-General and several lords of the family also said that if you agree with the General, the Governor-General will raise a batch of money and deliver it, and will dedicate this amount every year in the future.
"Oh?"
Fang Jie smiled and said: "It seems that the Governor General is very confident in Beihui Road under his own control. Is there really no thief in Beihui Road? I was ordered to clear the southwest thieves, and the thief is not fair. I am sorry for your majesty. , There is a heavy burden. If he asks His Majesty in the future, I will bear the responsibility. "
"Back to General, Beihui Road is very peaceful, there is no rogue!"
Niu Ram quickly said following Fang Jie.
"Ok"
Fang Jie nodded: "I'm from a military and military background, I don't have so much thought, I like to talk straight, and I like others to tell me the truth. You must not lie to me, if there is really no thief in Beihui Road, I It doesn't have to lead the army south, the labor and labor costs money ... "
"The general is assured that all the humiliation is true!"
Niu Ram nodded his head and waisted.
"Since that is the case, I will ask you."
Fang Xie narrowed his eyes and looked at Niu Bang and asked, "How much money are the Governor-General and the family lords willing to pay?"
"This one……"
Niu Bang thought for a while and answered, "The humble people say nothing, and they dare not make good claims. It is better to let the generals ask me to ask the meaning of the Governor, and then get the money and supplies together and send them to the General. How does the Governor say, He has long admired the reputation of the general and is very willing to be your friend. "
"Haha"
Fang Jie smiled and said: "I am the person who is most willing to make friends ... You go back and tell the Governor, since he is so sincere, I am not a very unreasonable person. So, five hundred thousand stone grain grass, one hundred Two thousand silver, three thousand brocade brocades, two hundred thousand feathers and arrows, thirty thousand sets of armor ... I will let others write an instrument for you to take back. If the Governor-General is willing to pay me a friend, black flag The army will not take a step into the northern emblem. "
"The humble job is written down!"
Niu Tam scolded really black in his heart, but how dare he show his face.It was good to be beaten back this time, how dare he stay again.
After Niu Ram retired, Wu Yi smiled and asked Fang Jie: "Why, really intend to talk to Zhong Xin?"
Fang Xie nodded and smiled, "Of course we have to talk, and there is a serious discussion. I plan to get Sun Kai, who is inspecting Qibei County, to come back and let him preside over the matter. This person is very sensitive to silver, let him be treated as The things that must be done are talked about, the more ruthless the better. If it is perfunctory, Zhong Xin sees the flaws and doesn't see that he will be able to dig out the money. Sun Kaidao is a man of great care, and he is just a good negotiator. I want Zhong Xin to think This time I just wanted to ridicule his money, so I want to ridiculously! "
"In addition, let the army intensify its preparations and wait for the money, grain and materials sent by Zhong Xin, which can just be used as food for the army ..."
Wu Yi laughed, especially smoothly.
