Chapter 175: Turning back to the guest (Part 1)

When Dongtun is broken, it is like a bamboo that breaks the momentum

Wherever the army went, counties and counties in southern Shandong Province surrendered one after another. In just fifteen days, the whole province had been controlled. At this time, the so-called alliance of four provinces had not even completed preparations.

On the contrary, Ding Menxiong's troops gathered 20,000 troops, but resisted for a while, and entangled for a week. The three thousand cavalry transferred rushed straight to the formation, and then collapsed after a moment.

In late autumn, after the locust disaster, 80% of the food income in the province was removed from the province. Therefore, when the army arrived, they immediately recruited refugees on the grounds of distributing grain. Because they were afraid that counties would use this to annex the land, the army would do it. Whenever the army arrived, they would count the warehouses and distribute grain and porridge, which was the top priority. They immediately collected 500,000 people, almost one-tenth of the province's population, and were all refugees with no land in the area.

These refugees will be formed into teams and supervised by the army to move to Anchang Province to enrich them.

Although there have been locusts, now, the wilderness is still green in the wilderness and green suburbs. On the official road, three thousand cavalry guards are guarding each other. This is Fang Xin's patrol of the whole province and determines political affairs one by one.

Within a giant car, Fang Xin was riding a car, and the agile cavalry guarded the left and right.

Suddenly, the convoy slowed down and a voice came from outside: "Shen Xin, the magistrate of Qidaoling County, come to pay homage to the Lord!"

"The Lord, Qidaoling County, has 15,000 households, and 3,000 households in the county." The person who was accompanying him whispered: "The magistrate Shen Xin, who surrendered before the battle, appeared in the city for thirty miles to welcome the Lord."

"Well, let him come over!" Fang Xin also got off the carriage.

There was not much time. A man wearing a seventh-rank official uniform, New Year's Eve, was very heroic and upright. He looked serious and knelt down: "Shen Xin, the magistrate of Qidaoling County, pay homage to the Lord."

With this sentence, the master knew that he was willing to truly surrender to the courtesy of the king and his subjects.

"Get up!" Fang Xin said calmly.

This county magistrate is also a Jinshi. Although he is only in the seventh rank and many of the officials accompanying him are above him, Fang Xin still expressed some respect.

Even so, even if we were prepared for the food and accommodation of the three thousand cavalrymen, the whole county was busy and busy, and it was only three hours later that it was considered complete.

In the county government office, Fang Xin was seated at the top of the house, but the owner had to find a house to live temporarily.

Peng Hanzhi got off the seat and had tea together.

There was not much time, and it was dusk, and the county magistrate asked for a meeting.

Fang Xin then summoned him, and saw the county magistrate stepping through the threshold, bowing and saying, "Marty, the dinner has been arranged."

"kindness!"

"Mr. Marquis, tomorrow I will recruit refugees. This porridge shed has been built. It is divided into twenty points, and it can be distributed for 5,000 people. I believe the county is enough, but..."

"Just what?"

"But the county's granary is not enough." The county magistrate Shen said with a bitter face: "When the plowing and yellow spring will not be carried out next year, I will keep some."

"Oh, I understand this, I will be able to dispatch it myself." Fang Xin felt at ease in his heart. After taking a sip of tea, he saw that the magistrate seemed to have something to say. He couldn't help but put down the teacup and said, "Does magistrate Shen have something to say?"

"The locust in the Central Plains actually spread for several miles, and many provinces were affected by disasters. On the contrary, although the border land was poor, it was not affected by disasters. The marquis was kind and kind, and helped the people with kindness. There was a way for the subordinates to relieve their food." The magistrate said respectfully, which meant that the right thing was right.

"Oh, let's talk about it, what's the way?" Fang Xin asked in surprise.

"Jinsha Province is located on the border, with many dense forests, deep mountains and hills, but it has not been affected by the disaster, so it can be used." The magistrate hesitated at first, but after a few moments, he gritted his teeth and said.

Once the rise of the dynasty is progressing, as long as the foundation is stable, many people will come to you. However, it is inevitable that the mud and sand will be mixed and the fish and dragon will not be able to argue.

Fang Xin looked at him again, his expression subtle, as if he was pondering.

The degree of borders of Jinsha Province lies in Anchang Province. Along the way, there are continuous Dingling, Dongjiao River, and Urqiu. It is really full of peaks and cliffs and clouds. The scenery is majestic and steep, magnificent and colorful, but it is not a matter of time and day to capture it.

The army stepped forward, with many passes and undulating, and I don’t know how many mountains there were.

This province in all dynasties has always been a remote and barren land, and there are few that are beneficial to the overall situation of the Central Plains. Although it has been developed over the past few hundred years, it is not considered a barbaric land, and there are also some land and houses, but it is not fertile land.

The magistrate made this suggestion, but he didn't know what it was. Fang Xin sneered in his heart, and asked him to sit down and give him tea.

"Sands Province is remote and I don't know the geography!"

"Mr. Marquis, this county is adjacent to Jinsha Province, but it has a map." The magistrate sat down, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp, but said this, which was considered to be handsome and calm: "Mr. Marquis attacked Gao Ni, and the world should have responded. Jinsha Province did not know the secret of heaven and refused to respond, which was a crime. He should be punished. At this time, Jinsha Province was empty and sent a general to capture him."

Fang Xin showed a subtle sneer, but said solemnly: "I don't know where the map is?"

Maps are a powerful tool for the country, and the map of the provinces and the world. Except for the imperial cabinet, each province and county has only its own map, and it rarely flows out and is regarded as a secret. This magistrate is willing to get a map.

"Yes, the subordinate has brought it." The magistrate said humbly. After saying that, he took out a volume and spread it out.

Fang Xin only glanced at it and laughed: "Okay, okay, County Magistrate Shen knows the times so well, and offers a plan. This marquis is very happy. I will first reward fifty taels of silver. However, this matter is very big, and I have to discuss some points... I will never forget your contribution, so I will retreat first!"

Seeing this expression, Peng Hanzhi, who had not spoken, sighed quietly, and looked at the magistrate with a little pity. When the magistrate retreated, Fang Xin said to Peng Hanzhi: "Mr. Peng, did you remember what you said to me that day?"

"The Marquis is in love with a pearl in mind. The subordinates have a little bit of a simple view, but it is just the light of fireflies, so why bother to care?"

"Otherwise, what you said makes sense. I won't agree at first. So before the time comes, I have a question, and the general idea is as follows. I would like to ask the sir to write and polish it. How about it?" Fang Xin said.

Peng Hanzhi was silent for a while before bowing and saying, "Dare you not obeying?"

"The Great Chu has been established for two hundred years and has never lost its virtue. So how great is it? The people are looking forward to it. What the people want is that the Great Chu will produce a true emperor to save the people. If the Dukes still have a loyal and righteous heart, they should join forces with our family and join forces to advance forward. Although Gao Ni is strong, he has lost his way. He will be wiped out and wiped out!" Fang Xin said casually. After reading a few words, Peng Hanzhi's face turned pale: "The world is very anxious to be affected by the thieves, and you must not be without a master for a day. I am very anxious to think of this. The army is ready. I hope that the Dukes will reply within the month to save the orthodox world and to save the country of Great Chu."

These words were exactly what he persuaded that day. He believed that a month ago, but now he occupied two provinces, but not only did he accept them, but instead turned against the enemy and asked the army to join the capital to win the orthodox.

Fang Xin refused to accept it a month ago because his foundation was shallow. If he didn't take any province, he would be sealed in Anchang. Now, he won a province, and his strength will not only increase greatly, but also be able to take the lead.

Rushi coalition, he had tens of thousands of troops, covering two provinces, and his official position was as the Prince Taibao, and he was Zhennan Hou. If he was not the leader, who would be the leader?

Once this incident occurred, if the neighboring provinces refused to accept the punishment, Fang Xin took back some great righteousness. It was because I refused to go to Beijing, but because there were traitors who blocked the way. I seized the provinces, but because I was not for my own sake, but for the orthodox.

Although this cannot deceive anyone, there is a great reputation and no name. At this time, the difference is still quite large.

However, he used this to persuade him a month ago, and a month later he used this to persuade others. It was one moment, another moment, and a month later, and a month's reply period was set.

When Peng Hanzhi heard this, his face turned red and could not speak for a moment.

Fang Xin just pretended not to hear it, but said with a smile: "The county magistrate Chen is a person who is interested. Let's do this. After a month, if the Jinsha Province does not respond, I will send Yue Mingshi as a general and send 15,000 troops to attack Jinsha. The county magistrate Chen has offered this strategy, and he should follow it with the map."

As soon as these words were spoken, Peng Hanzhi knew completely that Fang Xin had already seen the mystery.

After all, the key is to race against time. Fang Xingui first destroyed the Barbarians and controlled the time for more than one year and half a year. Therefore, Pei Xuzhou and other heroes tried every means to hope that he could keep his original position and not send troops. Half a year later, each province could break through the restrictions of the court and form various armies. The battle would be completely different.

But how could Fang Xin miss this opportunity and immediately sent troops. Sure enough, except for the battle in Dongtun, the empty Shandong Province surrendered at the news, and the whole province surrendered for only twenty days. This time gave the provinces no chance to react.

No matter how the magistrate was concerned, at this critical moment, he proposed to attack the remote Jinsha Province, rather than the Xijiang Province where Pei Xuzhou was or the fertile Zhongming Province, Fang Xin naturally had to consider him as a person with ulterior motives.

However, Peng Hanzhi was right. The Central Plains was not yet completely orthodox, and the hearts of the people were not completely chaotic. In addition, if you control the two provinces, Fang Xin's 100,000 troops were already a little reluctant, and the food was insufficient. Anchang Province was newly built and provided not much food, while the newly obtained Shandong Province had basically no food due to locust plague this year.

Therefore, at this time, it was not the time to attack the two provinces on the Central Plains. After all, the two provinces have already won a certain amount of time. If they are too tight, they might really give Pei Xuzhou the opportunity to contact his old subordinates and get the two provinces without fighting.

Since that's the case, we can first determine the title of great righteousness, and then send a division to send troops to Jinsha. It doesn't matter whether the outcome is the winner or lose. Once the two provinces have obtained it, they can expand the army and reorganize it. Yue Mingshi sent troops to become a general, which means that he was transferred from the core for the last time to become the world of Li's family.

If Yue Mingshi was able to seize this province, and even the magistrate, Fang Xin would not be stingy with the rewards of merits, because at that time he had already had the strength and qualifications to sit firmly on the high platform, so there was no need to be too suspicious of this mere town and county.
