Chapter 575: What is the general?

A long talk and several insights.

Fang Jie felt a little relieved when he came down from the mountain. He not only speculated on Luo Yao's identity, but also remembered the long conversation Xiang Qingniu had with him before leaving. Xiang Qingniu told him that Prince Zhong Yang Qi pulled out his red eyes, so Luo Yao lost his sense of his feelings. I believe that the same was true for the Great Wheel Ming King.

But this did not make Fang Jie completely relieved. After all, what he was going to do now is not a secret matter. He will naturally be wherever the Black Flag Army is. It is not difficult for Luo Yao to find him, unless Fang Jie also finds a place to hide his identity and practice his skills first.

Three months after arriving in Zhuque Mountain, the village had begun to take shape, the river channel had been widened, and the digging of another river channel had been handed over to the recruited migrant workers. Because of its good reputation, Fang Jie posted a notice to recruit migrant workers and received a response soon. In just two months, at least 20,000 people carried hoes to register. At this time, the following people understood why Fang Jie distributed five kilograms of grain and travel expenses to unqualified applicants when recruiting soldiers.

Because of this, the Black Flag Army has a particularly good reputation. The people all know that the new General Fang is a good person who says what he says and loves the people. Moreover, the Black Flag Army pays a low wage, so they flock to it. After the river is opened, migrant workers will have to build roads on Zhuque Mountain to directly lead to the plain behind the mountain. The project is expected to be endless in less than a year.

Fang Xie took Cui Zhongzhen as the general manager, and left him with the training and farming matters of recruits. Cui Zhongzhen took the order and left him, and led a team of tens of thousands of people to cross Zhuque Mountain to clear the land. This year, it was already a missed season and it was impossible to harvest summer grain. However, now the land is starting to be renovated. In autumn, wheat will be planted, and the first bumper harvest will be ushered in early summer next year.

The team began to resume training, and the generals of each army personally supervised. In fact, everyone knew that the short peace would pass soon. Since everyone had chosen this path, how could they stay in Zhuque Mountain to live such a down-to-earth and stable life?

The day after a long talk with Sang Sasa, Fang Jie ordered the generals of the army to discuss matters in the parable hall.

Sitting in the forehand position of the bright and wide hall, Fang Jie added a bit of majesty. Fang Jie sat on the left with the Sanjin Hou Wu Yidao, which was specially ordered by Fang Jie. The seats of the others were divided into two rows according to the civil and military positions. The number of generals was obviously higher. In order not to appear too disparity, even the big dogs who protected the food soldiers sat on the civil servants. The ranks of twenty generals were pulled apart, and there were less than ten people on the civil servants.

"Chen Xiaoru"

Fang Jie saw that everyone had arrived and ordered: "Tell me about the news that the Knight School has been inquiring about in the past few months."

Chen Xiaoru hurriedly stood up and took out the information he had sorted out before and said, "According to the general's military order, the Cavalry School has been investigating the news for the past three months. Now, the largest number of troops in Huangyang Road is Tian Xin, the general under Luo Yao. Although this person is not among the top ten, Luo Yao also trusts him quite well and leaves him with 30,000 elite soldiers. After Luo Yao promoted to King Yong in Jiangnan, he designated Yongzhou as the capital and changed his name to Yongjing. The four southwest roads plus Huangyang Road, and the names of the five roads were also changed."

"Huangyang Road City was renamed Xinyang, and Tian Xin was appointed as the governor of Xinyang. This person has been recruiting soldiers, but because the people of Huangyang Road have no good feelings for Luo Yao, the recruitment was not smooth. But after all, Xinkoucang was held in their hands, and with food and grass as a backing, someone still went to surrender. A while ago, Tian Xin conquered several bandits and expanded about ten thousand people."

Chen Xiaoru paused for a moment and said, "Tian Xin's men are the largest force besides our Black Flag Army. In addition, Gao Beidou, a Luchuan man, raised the flag in Luchuan to rebel, and brought up a team of more than 10,000 people. He did not accept the order of General Tian Xin, and claimed to be the king of heaven. He forced the people to join the gang. After conquering Luchuan County, he occupied this place. According to the news under Beizhi, Gao Beidou may have to launch troops against neighboring counties in the near future."

"Dou Tiande, a native of Boyang, brought up a team of seven or eight thousand people in Yazui Mountain and went out to rob the village from time to time. In the past six months, he had swept more than a dozen villages and villages. A while ago, he led troops to attack Boyang County. However, because Boyang County Magistrate Yu Mao formed a people to fight to the death, Dou Tiande and his men siege for more than ten days without breaking them, so he had to return to Yazui Mountain."

"There is a group of bandits in Hukoujian, with about a thousand people. It is said that the leader's surname Mo, but he does not know his name. He seems to be a foreigner. This man first pulled dozens of people as robbers in Hukoujian. After Luo Yao left, he began to recruit soldiers and expand to more than a thousand people. Unlike Gao Beidou and Dou Tiande, the Mo surname seems to be from military military and military management. It is very strict, and it is difficult to find out the specific forces and his origins in Hukoujian. The bandits under this man's command are known as the Tiger Army, but they are quite good and rarely harass the people. They only attack those wealthy and prominent families."

Chen Xiaoru paused for a moment and said, "The current several forces in Huangyangdao are almost like this."

He untied his clutch and then stepped back.

Fang Jie looked at Sun Kaidao, who was sitting at the top of the civil service, and Sun Kaidao immediately stood up and said, "Since we want to gain a foothold in Huangyang Road, we must fight. The general's meaning is that if we want to make the Black Flag Army's banner louder, there are two things that we must do naturally. The first is to love the people and make the people of Huangyang Road have no desire to reject the Black Flag Army. In the long run, more people will support them. Therefore, the general has ordered that this year and next year, the people who depend on our Black Flag Army will not collect grain. If our farmland is well harvested next year, we can extend it for another year."

"The second thing is that loving the people is just one thing. If the people want to see the strength of our Black Flag Army, they must fight it out. After winning battles and fighting a few more beautiful battles, the people will become more convinced. More and more people are dependent on our Black Flag Army, and the greater the benefits to our Black Flag Army. At that time, people will not lack the source of troops to grow food, which is the development strategy."

He smiled and said, "Justice Chen has listed all the people worth fighting in Huangyang Road. The general's meaning is to discuss who to test the knife first?"

...

...

Wu Yidao sat quietly on the chair without saying a word, and he looked a little distracted. Fang Jie looked at him and smiled: "Mr. Marquis thinks, who should we do first?"

Wu Yidao then took back his thoughts that didn't know where he was floating. The other party smiled and said, "I dare not talk nonsense about military affairs. My duty is to do a good job in business, get more meat and buy new clothes for the soldiers, and I can also handle some weapons, armor and equipment. Only military affairs, I am really an outsider."

If he had a deep meaning, he added: "In fact, the general only needs to be assigned to such a small matter. Apart from Xinyang Tianxin, where are the other groups of bandits worth the general's waste of time to discuss?"

Fang Jie instantly understood what Wu Yidao was going to express, and he nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

"Since that's the case"

Fang Jie stood up and looked in front of the map, pointed to Boyang County and said, "Chen Dingnan, take the Flying Tiger Army to settle Boyang Dou Tiande first. Compared with the other people, Dou Tiande harms one side, and there is no grass left wherever the bandits pass. If you do this, the people of Boyang County will be considerate of the benefits of the Black Flag Army. Remember, you should be decisive when fighting. You should not use more than 10,000 cavalry to deal with thousands of bandits, but now we are equivalent to playing a signboard, so you have to play a sensation!"

"Here!"

General Chen Dingnan of the Flying Tiger Army and Deputy General Su Manzi immediately stood up and clasped their fists: "I will definitely not be humiliated!"

After Fang Jie gave the order, he asked: "Gao Beidou, who is you willing to fight?"

"I'm willing to go!"

"I'm willing to go!"

All the generals stood up and clasped their fists and asked for their orders.

Fang Jie looked at everyone and said, "Gao Beidou used more than 10,000 bandit soldiers and had occupied Luchuan County. This battle is not easy. Our infantry is still training and cannot go out. If you want to win this battle, you should lure the enemy out of the city. Xiahou Baichuan, take your troops, and......"

Fang Jie looked at Cui Zhongzhen and said, "Infantry training, it is also beneficial to see more actual combat. General Cui can bring the infantry to accompany him and cooperate with Xiahou to fight."

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

Xiahou Baichuan and Cui Zhongzhen stood up and took the order.

"Um"

Fang Jie waved his hand and said, "As for Xinyang Tianxin, Xinyang City is tall and strong, let's not pay attention to it for the time being. Since the news on Hukoujian has not been thorough yet, go and investigate more. Chen Xiaoru, please keep an eye on this errand and do not slacken. Only by clearing the bandits in Huangyang Road can the people be convinced and not delay."

"I'm going to receive the order!"

After Fang Jie gave the order, he said: "The army without war will need to train strictly after returning. When the bandits in Huangyang Road are cleared, they will still attack faith. At that time, all the troops will go on a war. Don't pull the team out and you can't take the sword into battle!"

"Here!"

All the generals stood up and clasped their fists. Fang Jie nodded and said, "Then let's go and prepare."

The generals withdrew, Fang Jie walked back and sat down and asked Wu Yi: "Does the Marquis have something to say to me?"

"It's nothing, either."

Wu Yidao stretched his waist and smiled, "The chair I am sitting on is unstable, and it will be bad if I fall."

He pointed to the bottom and said, "It's better to move it down?"

Fang Jie was slightly stunned, and then said seriously: "Mr. Marquis, the Black Flag Army Zhuque Mountain Camp can be built, and the nine successful achievements are all on Marquis. Marquis is also convinced by the people sitting here. You have been worried a little longer."

"Not to be a good person or not."

Wu Yidao put away his smile and said seriously: "You should understand what I said just now. In the future, you will be the leader of the Black Flag Army. You have not yet adapted to how to be a decision maker. Calling the people below to discuss everything can certainly make the people below feel more comfortable, but in the long run, how can you establish prestige? In the future, you should learn to order directly, and don't ask the people below how they should be if they are not big. They are looking at you. The more decisive and direct you are, the more they respect you."

"Power lies in establishment, not in giving."

He paused and continued, "I didn't say about this chair when I was discussing the matter just now because I want to respect you in front of everyone. Any words of yours are military orders and should not be violated. But if you let me sit next to you, the people below will feel that you are friendly but lack majesty. They obey you, but are not afraid of you."

"I know you respect me sincerely. It is because I did something for the camp that you let me sit by your side and let the people below see that those who have made contributions should be respected. This is good. But this idea is good, but the method is very bad."

Wu Yidao looked at Fang Jie and said, "The first thing you need to remember now is that you are the commander of the Black Flag Army. No matter who you are, you are your subordinates. You and I had a deep friendship at the beginning, and I did help you, and the Yinyu relationship... But these are not the reasons why you let me sit by your side. You are the general who cannot be compared with by anyone in the Black Flag Army. Even if I am, I will salute you when I see you."

"Since the flag has been raised and since you have planned to take steps, you cannot lose in these minor matters first. The general has his own demeanor and must also have the prestige of the general."

After he finished speaking, Fang Jie stood up and gave a solemn greeting: "Thank you, Marquis for your advice!"

Wu Yidao moved the chair up and placed it in front of Sun Kaidao's seat, smiled and said, "But I am not a person who is self-deprecating. In terms of qualifications and merits, it is okay for me to sit here?"

Fang Jie laughed: "Of course!"

Wu Yidao nodded, hugged his fists and said goodbye. When she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped again, turned around and smiled and said, "You have had too many things in these days, and I have never met Yinyu twice. I don't want to talk too much about your affairs, but she knew you had worked hard these days, so she went to learn how to make dumplings, and her face was covered with flour all day... I, a father, have never enjoyed this treatment... Alas!"

Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, and then asked embarrassedly: "Will you eat dumplings tonight?"
