Chapter 773 Entering the City to Eat Chicken

The Black Flag Army did not stay in Peicheng for long. Fang Jie handed over all local matters to Wei Xiting. This person knew what to do to satisfy Fang Jie. Civil servants, from a county magistrate to the prime minister's three big city affairs, this kind of role change is actually difficult for most people to adapt to.

Most people are complaining that they have done enough and not enough. Every time they see a person in a high position, they will think that if they are sitting in that position, they will certainly be able to do it, or even do better. Really when the opportunity coincides to do that seat, I will realize that I didn't want to be as simple as I thought.

Wei Xiting's work is not so broad-minded, but he has the same advantage, that is, to know what Fang Jie wants, as long as he runs to this goal.

Relatively speaking, Du Gu Wenxiu is better than his overall view, so Fang Jie will give him more important things.In fact, when Fang Jie took Du Gu Wenxiu's mother from the old house, it was already in the layout.At that time, Fang knew that he needed someone outside the Black Flag Army's power structure to do things, because this matter involved too much scope.Once touched, it may not be as simple as breaking the bones.

Having reached the present point, Fang Xie cannot do things without care.

Although the Black Flag Army has not yet completely controlled the entire southwest in a true sense, those three rivers and mountains have actually been held in hand by Fang Jie.Beihui Road, Nanhui Road, Yongbei Road, although these three roads are still in the hands of local families, can they do anything other than follow the solution?

When Fang Jie went south, he forced them to mobilize ten thousand county soldiers, and the cards in their hands became fewer and fewer.Through the continuous squeezing from north to south, Huangyang Road and Heping Business Road simultaneously exerted their strength, and the living space of the three big families was squeezed smaller and smaller, and the threat to the Black Flag Army was also smaller and smaller.

When Fang Jie was in Yongzhou, he forced the three governors to relocate the people to Pingshang Road, and then continued to send people to recruit recruits in these three ways, fundamentally prying the foundations of these three governors.

If Fang Xie is willing, the Black Flag Army can now include these three elements at any time.But Fang Jie does not intend to completely break with all the families in the southwest for the time being. The purpose of leaving those people is that they still have room to squeeze.

After staying in Peicheng for two days, Fang Jie immediately led the army.It is Jinan more than two hundred miles south from Peicheng. Because of the close distance, the scale of Jinan City is far worse than that of Peicheng.Peicheng is the ancestral land of Murong, so the status and rights of Peicheng's lord seem to be higher than other cities. Jinan, who is close by, is especially bullied by Bai Kaishan. With limited strength, he is daring to speak against Bai Kaishan.

Jin'an's geographical location is quite awkward. It is only six hundred miles from Peicheng to Dali City. Jinan is caught in it, and there is no room for development.One is the ancestral land of the Murong family, and the other is the capital city of Nanyan. Jin An is pressed left and right in the middle, and Ning Hao can only swallow his voice.

It can be said that Ning Hao is the most aggrieved one of Nanyan's city lords. The other city lords are as powerful as the emperor, especially those who are far away from the city of Dali, even the decree of the Nanyan court can be ignored.But Ning Hao couldn't do it. He was a man who survived the cracks, and he had to be a man with his tail in order to keep his position as a city owner.

But speaking of it, if someone else is the owner of Jin'an, it might have been removed long ago.Only because he will show his weakness and show his humility, Murong shame will allow him to have a meaningless city owner to continue to exist.

And Ning Hao knew that his strength was weak, so he knew how to take advantage of it. After Murong Shame was enthroned, in order to concentrate his powers and tried to deprive some of the city's lords, Ning Hao was undoubtedly the best person to show the emperor's majesty.Jin An ’s strength is limited, and his strength is limited. In addition, the closest to Dali City is Murong ’s shame. In order to stand up, there is no more suitable place than Jin An, and no one is more suitable than Ning Hao.

Ning Hao knew that he would not be able to withstand Murong's shameful army, and those city habitants who were used to watching the show would never help.So at this time he seemed to have no choice but to accept passively, but he didn't. He did something to keep his position.

He sent people to lobby around to convince those city owners that he was the first person under Murong Shao's butcher, but by no means the last one.He made those city lords feel that if he was not abolished by Murong shame and was not resisted, then the next one would come, if the city lords did not have a tough attitude in this matter, then they would be gradually eroded by Murong shame .

In this way, he actually persuaded many people to unite and press the court of Nan Yan, forcing Murong Shame to change his mind.

Ning Hao understands how to take advantage of his weakness.

So he is still the city master.

On the third day after the Black Banner Army broke through Peicheng, the messengers sent by Ning Hao to Dali City entered the Dali Royal Palace.

He sent people to ask for help, he must persuade Murong shame to send troops.

What he has to do is to wait and delay the Black Flag Army.

When Ning Hao stood on the wall of Jin'an and saw with a thousand eyes the mighty horses from the north, he was sure that even a dead guard would never be able to stop the powerful Black Flag Army.Jin An could n’t compare with the city. The height and width of the city walls limited the deployment of the defense force, and the enemy ’s siege equipment was so complete. In this case, he made a decision with little hesitation.

"Du Mu"

Ning Hao looked at the middle-aged man standing beside him and said slowly: "It's up to you if you can keep Jin'an."

Du Mu clasped his fists and said: "City Master, this time is unprecedented, and his subordinates are most sure to delay the Black Flag Army's offensive for three or four days. I ’m afraid it wo n’t help. ”

"The day that can be dragged is a day. I will find another way over Dali City. Murong Shame is better than anyone else. Now all three cities in the north are lost. Jin An is the gateway to Dali. Once Jin An is lost again, Murong Sha will also Such as sitting on a needle felt. "

This Du Mu is very famous in Jin'an. Although he is not from a big family, he has no great talent to learn, but he has always been the most valued by Ning Hao.It was because of his contingency and eloquence that he was able to keep Ning Hao's seat from being taken away.It was this person at the beginning, who persuaded the Quartet to rely on one mouth to unite the lords of the cities to put pressure on the court.

"What are you going to talk about?"

Ning Hao asked.

Du Mu sighed and said, "Jin An has no bargaining chips with the Black Flag Army, so if you want to talk, you can only talk about it from the surrender. Try it with your subordinates, and try your best to do it as if the city owner really wants to open the door and surrender Same thing. On the pretext of deliberation, drag on for a few days. "

"Go!"

Ning Hao patted Du Mu on the shoulder: "You can save Jinan once, I believe you can save Jinan a second time. If you succeed this time, I will take out half of everything in Jinan City since then Jin An came to reward. "

Du Mu's face changed, but he still sighed heavily.

He looked out of the city and murmured in his heart ... Anything was good, the first thing was ... The other party was willing to talk.

...

...

Fang Jie jumped from the back of the white lion, looked at the city a few miles away and asked, "Is there anything famous in Jinan?"

Chen Xiaoru replied: "Jinancheng is best known as the lotus leaf chicken. The lotus leaf is wrapped in local soil chicken and then wrapped in special mud and cooked. It is said that it tastes amazing. It was said that the emperor of the Shang Dynasty specified Jinan ’s lotus leaf chicken as a tribute. , I do n’t know if it ’s the special chicken or the special soil. Anyway, it ca n’t be said that the taste of Jin'an Heye chicken can't be found anywhere else. "

"Resting for one day, and enter the city the day after tomorrow to eat lotus leaf chicken."

Fang Jie smiled and said, the crowd will burst into laughter.For the current black flag army, they are used to victory.It is said that Jinan City is no more than five or six thousand, and the population is only six or seventy thousand. If such a small city can't fight it, there is no need to go to Dali.

"There is another famous one in Jinan City ..."

Chen Xiaoru smiled and said, "There is a man named Du Mu in the city. He was born as a baby cowboy when he was a child. He didn't read any books when he was young, but he was born with a good eloquence, and he knows the way of lobbying best. It was all because of this person's lobbying, and Jin'an was kept under pressure by the city masters. "

"Eating by mouth"

Fang Jie thought of the two famous people who had eaten by mouth in the history of his previous life, one hung on the Six Kingdoms, one on the Qin and two on the Wei.

"This Du Mu was a poor family when he was a kid, and he ran for cattle when he was young. Later, when he grew up and married, he stayed at home. The money in the family was bought. The life was very hard. He was devoted to his career, but he repeatedly failed First, in the end there was no food to eat at home. He asked his wife to borrow from his natal family, but his wife didn't come back when he returned to his natal family. But he was too lazy to bother to study at home and was hungry. Once his sister-in-law hit the stick and became a laughingstock in the village. "

Chen Xiaoru sorted out the news that the Xiaoqi School had explored in his mind a few years ago: "Later, after Murong Shame ascended the throne, he planned to gradually take back the rights of the city masters. There is no way. At this time, Du Mu, who heard about the matter, begged outside the gate of the city ’s main palace and shouted that he had a solution. Ning Hao asked who was outside, and someone told him that he was the one who could not work even his wife ’s sister-in-law Despise Du Mu. "

"Ning Hao also knows this person's name, so people will drive him away, but Du Mu kneels outside the door, saying that there is no way for the city lord to try it anyway. The city lord does not lose anything. Du Mu thought that this was the case, and sent Du Mu said, if you can keep my place as the city's lord, I will give you glory and wealth. Du Mu got up and left, and actually convinced several city lords by him, and jointly wrote to Murong shame, Ning Hao's city lord's position was preserved. "

Fang Jie was a little startled, thinking that there were such people in this era.This trajectory of Du Mu's life is quite similar to one of the two lobbyists he is familiar with.

"The most interesting thing is that after he succeeded, he was heavily used to pick his wife home. His wife didn't even open the door. Finally, Ning Hao personally went to the door, and his wife believed that he had made a fortune."

As I was saying, there were a few personal soldiers in the distance who brought a person here.

"Princess, Jin Anli came out and said that it was Du Mu, and he had something important to ask."

Fang Jie couldn't help laughing: "This is the way of Ning Chengzhu's guard ..."

He turned his head to look into the distance, to the famous Du Mu.

"Tell him that if you want to talk about it, let Ning Hao prepare for 20,000 lotus leaf chickens to be sent out within two days. If you can't send them out, wait for my black flag army to ride the main palace."

"Really so much?"

Chen Xiaoru was a little surprised.

"Of course, but still that sentence, go to town to eat!"
