Chapter 716: Difficult to go south

Some people can look back if they miss it.

Some words are missed and never have a chance to say again.

No one knew what kind of mood Sun Kaidao left the station with, and then moved into the spacious house that Fangxie prepared for him. As Chen Xiaoru said, the house was cleaned inside and outside, but there was no one.

Sun Kaidao thought of Chen Xiaoru's words, and he said that the general would just ask.

This sentence is just a question, how many feelings are there?

Chen Xiaoru went back from the south of the city to directly seek Fang Jie to report his life. Fang Jie did not ask Sun Kaidao what reaction was or anything like that, as if he had forgotten this person immediately. But Chen Xiaoru felt a faint loss in the general's eyes. Isn't it that wrong in his heart? Although Sun Kaidao followed Fang Jie halfway, he was already considered an old man in the Black Flag Army. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have a very decent destination in the future.

But now, he could only disappear from the Black Flag Army's vision with decentness.

"Call all the generals to discuss."

Fang Jie gave a light command, and Chen Xiaoru left immediately.

The Black Flag Army had already known about the movement of Nanyan troops. There had been no war in the past few days, and the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were all idle and panicked. The county soldiers brought from the three southwest roads did not look forward to fighting, after all, they had not really experienced the war.

However, the Black Flag Army cavalry, who were already addicted to victory, thought it would be a good thing to calm down and rest for a while, but after a while of idleness, the itchy feeling made them feel a little restless. It was at this moment that the generals of the Black Flag Army understood what it means to use blood to raise the murderous aura of the Black Flag Army soldiers.

No way to fight

The generals who came to Yongzhou with Fang Jie arrived at the general's office early to wait, while the newly promoted border generals seemed a little restrained. They were rescued by Fang Jie and the Black Flag Army from each border city, but they were still a little unfamiliar with the Black Flag Army.

However, the border troops have always been familiar with war.

Even during the peace of the Great Sui Dynasty, these border troops were not far from killing.

When Fang Jie came in, all the generals stood up and stood up and saluted.

Fang Jie sat down in the main position, pressed his hands down and sat down. Because it was not going to go to the battle, the generals did not have to wear thick iron armor. If they were wearing armor, it would be better to sit down than to stand.

"There is one thing that the old people in the Black Flag Army know, but people from Ping Shang Road border army don't know much."

Fang Jie pondered for a while and said, "In Zhuque Mountain, there are several workshops under the rule of the Black Flag Army, which require a large amount of iron ore. We have always exchanged with Jin Shixiong. But since last month, Jin Shixiong began to delay the delivery of iron ore date and raise prices again and again. There are no iron ore in the southwest, so if we want to expand our weapons and equipment, we need to exchange and buy it. When we don't have a firm foothold, we can do this, but now, if we don't have our own iron ore, there will be too many constraints."

"General, when will the troops be launched against Nanyan?"

Xiahou Baichuan said with a smile: "The boys below are clamoring that their arms are almost rusted all day long."

"This is a good thing."

Fang Jie smiled and said, "It is inevitable for Nanyan to move troops. Come to you to discuss this matter. Not to mention whether there is an iron ore in Nanyan, I just say that I have killed so many of us and kidnapped so many of us. Murong Meng should pay some price. In the past few months, Murong Meng has been sending people to make peace, saying that it was the instigation of treacherous ministers that he would be confused about the Great Sui army. He is willing to take out 200,000 stones of food and grass, plus a large number of weapons and armor to compensate."

"Pooh!"

Chen Dingnan curled his lips and said, "Those things were originally taken away by him from Pingshang Road. Now if you want to return some of them, it's all done?"

"Of course not."

Fang Jie said: "It is not difficult to move troops to Nanyan, but it is actually not easy. Two-thirds of the territory of Nanyan are mountains, and most of the people live on the plains. The big cities are built particularly strongly. And if Murong Meng knew that he would be unable to escape into the mountains, it would be difficult to capture him. So you have to worry about how to fight to win."

"Forcing to surrender?"

Liu Xuri thought for a while and said, "Chen Bing can force Murong to surrender outside Dali City, promised him not to kill him, and then kill him when he comes out."

"That would be so easy!"

The border general Qin Yuan shook his head and said, "The general may not know much about the people of Nanyan, and he does not know much about Murong Meng. We have been on the frontier for a long time and know the most about this shameless villain. Murong Meng is cunning and fickle, and he doesn't trust the court officials under his command. How could he trust us? If the soldiers were really outside Dali City, he might have fled to the mountains long ago. Nanyan has many mountains, and the mountains are full of jackals, tigers and leopards. The people of Nanyan know these mountains very well and know where to hide people. But we don't know, if we dive into it, seven out of ten damage is not a battle on the battlefield, but because of our lack of understanding of the terrain."

Sanjin Hou pondered for a while and said, "I heard that Murong Meng is not very prestigious in Nanyan. Although he is the Emperor of Nanyan, most of the aristocratic families in several major cities in the southern part of Yan State do not obey the dispatch of the Southern Yan court... It would be better for the general to send people to contact those who are dissatisfied with Murong Meng and join forces to defeat them. We can promise those aristocratic families in the southern part of Yan State that they will not make things difficult for them after the demise of Nanyan."

Fang Jie shook his head: "It seems disagreeable, but at some point, they will be one mind... If I launch troops with Nanyan, although the aristocratic families in the southern Yan State are dissatisfied with Murong Mei, they understand one truth more: Murong Mei is still the emperor of Nanyan, and these aristocratic families are the princes. If Murong Mei dies and Nanyan is destroyed, can they still have the freedom and freedom as before? Therefore, it is not easy to instigate them."

Sanjinhou nodded: "It's true."

"Send experts to assassinate?"

He asked again.

Fang Jie was silent for a while and said nothing. The people from the Xiaoqi School had not yet returned with certain information, and there must be some great cultivators around Murong Moe. Moreover, Murong Moe himself was the commander of the imperial guards in Shang Kingdom, and his cultivation was enough to gain a foothold in the world... If you accidentally kill, a large number of Xiaoqi Schools and masters might die.

...

...

At the end of the discussion, no specific constitution was proposed. Fang Jie ordered the troops of each battalion to go on the expedition at any time and practiced without slacking off, so everyone went back. The generals thought that fighting Nanyan was no problem, but the more they discussed, the more they understood why a small country like Nanyan could exist in the Great Sui Dynasty. Isn’t it as simple as Murong’s shame to bow down and surrender?

Nanyan has a special terrain, with many mountains and few plains. Two-thirds of the country are mountains of all sizes, high and low, but Nanyan has sparse population, so they all live on the plains and are not crowded. But as long as there is war, these people will flock into the mountains to avoid disasters. Outsiders are not familiar with the terrain and fall into the mountains, as if they are trapped in a swamp.

It is precisely because of this that the Sui Dynasty did not move the Southern Yan.

The reason for not moving is that the gain is not worth the loss.

To conquer a small country like Nanyan, even if it was difficult for the Sui army that had just destroyed the Da Shang Dynasty, it would still be able to wipe out the Southern Yan. The key is that consuming a large number of elite troops to occupy such a territory would not have much benefit to the Sui Dynasty. It would be a bit distressing for the brave and warlike soldiers to lose in the primitive jungle and steep mountains.

On the battlefield, the Nanyan army is not worth mentioning.

But in Nanyan, the biggest enemy was not the Nanyan army.

At the beginning, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty wanted to destroy the Shang Kingdom and take advantage of the situation to destroy the Nanyan. But after careful consideration, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty found that it would be better to destroy the Nanyan than to keep the Nanyan. With the Nanyan, Murong mocked to offer a large amount of supplies every year. If he destroyed the Nanyan, he would not only send troops to guard the Nanyan, but also send troops to guard the Sui army. In addition, Nanyan was adjacent to the primitive jungle where the He people lived, so the He people would not raise their hands to welcome the Sui army.

"After defeating the Heren, the Xiaoqi School sent some people into Nanyan."

Chen Xiaoru said with a little sadness: "But Nanyan is too damn small. There are four big cities in the north of Nanyan. After passing these four cities, it is Dali. The Xiaoqi School was limited at that time, and there were not many people sent there. In addition, Murong Meng was afraid of the Black Flag Army's revenge and ordered the border to be closed. The four big cities closed the city gates, and the people from the Xiaoqi School could go in and could not get out!"

Qilin cursed from the side: "This Murong Moe can be called a coward. It has been so long, but I still haven't ordered the city to be opened."

"He is naturally afraid!"

Chen Xiaoru said: "The people who were finally pieced together were destroyed by the general's battle. He knew how powerful our Black Flag Army was, how dare he open the door? But now, we know too little about Nanyan. Even if the people from the Xiaoqi School find out a lot of news there, they can't send it out at all."

"Although Nanyan is small..."

Fang Jie frowned slightly and said, "There is the jungle of the He people in the west, the Sui people in the north, and the sea in the east... But there is no waterway to go straight through. If our navy wants to bypass the four cities, we have to enter the south of the Yangtze River from Luoshui, and then cross the Jiangnan roads all the way to the south and enter the sea... Not to mention not being able to go to the south of the Yangtze River, even if it is easy to pass, our warships are still a little smaller and not suitable for sailing in the sea. The navy's current troops cannot make long-distance raids."

"It seems that only the only way to send masters to assassinate."

Chen Xiaoru hugged and said, "General, your subordinates can choose a group of masters and walk through the jungle of the Heren into Nanyan. If they reach out, they will not lose too many people in the jungle. Only by assassinating the generals defending the city and opening the city gate can the army go south all the way."

"Disaster!"

Qin Yuan said: "Not to mention that the primitive jungle is more dangerous. Even if you pass through it, it will be useless to go to it if there are fewer people. Everyone knows that Murong mourn is afraid of death. The guards around him are all masters who are recruited by the world. His cultivation is good, so it is difficult to assassinate. Besides, those generals who defend the city will lead troops when they travel, and it will be even more difficult to live in the military camp."

"There is nothing to do if you want to beat a little Nanyan?"

“However, there is…”

Fang Jie sighed slightly. The firearm battalion can already be used. But is it worth it to expose the firearm battalion by hitting a small Nanyan?

...

...

Chang'an City

On the city wall that is towering into the clouds.

The iron-armored general looked at Nanfang with a solemn expression.

"Wan Xingchen thought this would make me suffer. He underestimated the ability of a founding emperor too much. If he did not give up everything, how could he have everything? As long as the descendants do not cut off, what would be the case if they die? Wan Xingchen, you don't know how to make me suffer. My heart... I wouldn't have hurt a long time ago because I lost something meaningless."

He looked back at the direction of Changchun Garden in Chang'an City.

"As long as I recover, I will lead my army to fight south... In order to revive the Great Sui Dynasty, the Yang family should make some efforts."
