Three hundred and seventieth chapters can come and go
Go southwest again, but not on the same path as before.
This time, Ziqin came to the western Zhejiang area first. At this time, Fang La had already begun to seek the position of leader of Mingjiao.
What kind of heroes are this generation? The words brought back to Ziqin by the Seven Buddhas made this hero ponder for a long time. The northwest is naturally inferior to the land south of the Yangtze River.
However, Fang La is not that person who is greedy for enjoyment.
It is said that emperors rule the world from north to south, but I have never heard of anyone who rules the world from south to north.
Although the northwest is poor and backward, the Xiliang area has been a place where elite soldiers have emerged since ancient times. If we get here, we have the hope of conquering the world.
Mingjiao, the chief helmsman, Fang La looked at the map and pondered without saying a word. His fingers slowly crossed the map, from the southwest downwards, Shuzhong, and then Guanzhong.
Can.
Slight footsteps sounded, and Xiao Qi came to Fang La's side.
"Brother Thirteen."
Xiao Qi shouted respectfully, but the news he brought back made Fang La think for a long time. He himself also understood how important the matter was. If he agreed, they would need to leave this base camp and go to the original headquarters of the Ming Cult, which would be equivalent to starting from scratch.
.
However, if you don't agree, no matter how powerful You Tanzhi's martial arts is, it is impossible for the Mingjiao to withstand the fierce attack of the six gates led by You Tanzhi.
"The northwest is indeed a good place."
Fang La suddenly spoke, and without waiting for Fang Qifu to say anything, his fingers slowly pointed to the two places immediately northwest of each other on the map.
"Guanzhong, where the Qin Empire and Tang Empire were founded, and Shuzhong, where the Han Empire was founded, we only need to completely occupy the northwest, but these two places can be taken or taken away at our will."
Since heroes have their own unique place, it is not without reason that Fang La was able to occupy many cities after the uprising in history.
However, in history, Fang La lacked allies and the Western army at that time was extremely powerful, but the flames of the uprising were eventually extinguished.
However, at this moment, the allies Ziqin found for Fang La and the new strategic locations he came up with for Fang La made Fang La start to take a longer-term view.
The northwest is a good place.
In fact, Mingjiao is by no means without roots in that place. If it were not for the rise of Islam (fiction, no wonder), the religions in northwest China were extremely complex in history. Almost every ethnic minority had its own sect. With the rise and fall of these ethnic minorities,
It also determines the rise and fall of the northwest sects, as no one can dominate), and I am afraid that the Ming sect will not move to this place in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, even with the rise of Islam, Mingjiao still had its roots there. After Li Yuanhao became emperor, the northwest was no longer dominated by one clan.
After Zhang Yuan and other Han people took real power in the northwest, with the formal establishment of Xixia and the strengthening of national power, the northwest was secretly complicated.
"Let's go back to the northwest."
Fang La's voice suddenly sounded firmly, he was not from the Dangxiang ethnic group, he was from the Han ethnic group. As long as he captured the northwest, he would have the opportunity to go south.
In fact, whether it was the Xixia tribe of the Dangxiang tribe in the northwest or the Daliao tribe of the Khitan tribe in the north, if they could get rid of their ferocious surnames in the early years, they would have succeeded in moving south long ago.
However, too much raiding and plundering of border areas has caused too much hatred between these two ethnic groups and the Han people. Therefore, unless these two ethnic groups are really as strong as the Mongolian Yuan and Manchu Qing in later generations,
, and there is a natural disaster that is rare in thousands of years in the Central Plains [***], otherwise it will be impossible to conquer the Central Plains.
However, Fang La was different. He was a Han. Once he captured the northwest, he would become a hero of the Han people. At this time, it was only a little more than a hundred years since the founding of Zhao Kuangyin. To put it bluntly, the word "Song Dynasty" has not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Especially with the loss of the Northwest and the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, the Han people are in the weakest period in history. If a Han hero rises up strongly at this time, takes over the Northwest, seizes Dali, and takes back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, I am afraid there will be no need to fight again.
, the entire Northern Song Dynasty would fall apart immediately.
When Ziqin entered northern Zhejiang, he was discovered by the Mingjiao leader and was immediately invited by Fang La.
Regarding this invitation, Ziqin did not hesitate at all.
In Ziqin's view, the reason for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty in history was not that the Jin State was strong, but that it was better to say that the Jin State got a big advantage. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fangla Uprising, the Western Army was ordered to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan, but this victory brought down the entire Western Army.
disappear.
After the Fangla Uprising was put down by the Western Army, the Northern Song Dynasty royal family felt that it was not safe, so it did an extremely stupid thing. It split the Western Army and stationed it on the four sides of the capital. A good army that could conquer and fight was suddenly dismantled.
After the Jin Dynasty went south and the Wu brothers reorganized, the Western Army that had been entangled with Xixia for more than a hundred years and was able to expand the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty could never come back.
The military strength of the Northern Song Dynasty was not weak, but the emperor was weak. The emperor's weakness was that he did not dare to use people.
Ziqin sat opposite Fang La, with a faint smile on his face. He knew that Fang La would accept his statement, because this was a hero, and a hero treats the world like a hungry wolf treats meat.
"No matter whether it's the Zhe family, the Yang family or the Zhong family, they won't make things difficult for you."
Ziqin sat opposite Fang La. His voice was not loud, but Fang La's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The Zhao family is too suspicious, and it is not easy to be a general of the Zhao family. Yang Wudi, Fan Zhongyan, Di Miannie, Zhong Shiheng, and Wang Shao more than ten years ago, none of these people are unparalleled talents, and there are some among them
Who is less capable than Zhang Yuan? However, Zhang Yuan assisted Li Yuanhao in founding the Xixia Kingdom, and they either died in battle or were demoted. Even smart people know this."
Ziqin spoke slowly, with a sarcastic smile on his face as he spoke, "Brother Fang, do you think that the general of the Western Army dares to show his invincible military capabilities? Haha, I'm afraid he doesn't dare. That's not meritorious service.
That’s courting death.”
After saying this, Fang La didn't speak for a long time. The person Ziqin was talking about was either famous all over the world, or not long ago, Yang Wudi almost destroyed the Khitan, and Fan Zhongyan and three others even beat Xixia without the ability to fight back.
, as a result, Yang Wudi died on the battlefield inexplicably, Fan Zhongyan was demoted, Di Qing died of depression, and Zhong Shiheng never got his due achievements in his life (this son is Lao Zhong, the manager, Wang Jin, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, etc.
the one near the mouth).
Wang Shao did better and almost wiped out Tubo, but he was recalled to the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty and given a powerful position. However, he never had the chance to lead the army from then on, and he could not even give advice. Finally, when the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Xixia for the second time, he foreseen
After the failure of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was forced to remonstrate and disobey and was angered to death.
The situation in the northwest, or the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty, is exactly as Ziqin said. Although Fang La has not read many books, as a hero of his generation, Fang La still knows about those famous generals.
The men mentioned by Ziqin were all the most outstanding generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, but none of them had a good ending.
In the northwest, it is a lie to say that there are no generals who can fight. However, it is difficult to say who dares to fight. In fact, I am afraid that there are not many who dare to fight.
The most important thing is that the current supervisor of the Western Army is Tong Guan. The three famous figures of the Western Army have been suppressed by this eunuch for a long time. It is obvious how much anger has accumulated in their hearts.
"Let's go to the northwest. Brother Tan, it seems you should tell us about your plan. At least let us know who our allies are."
Fang La laughed, but he had already made a calculation in his mind. According to what Ziqin said, there was a 70% to 80% chance of success. This was already an extremely high probability. If he didn't give it a try, he would really be sorry for himself.
"Haha, let's put it this way, when you gain a foothold in the northwest and start to capture Xixia, someone will help you hold off Tubo. Once you capture Xixia, you need to immediately attack Tubo southward. After capturing Tubo, there will be another
The Bo people will attack Dali together with you. Once these three places are captured, you will need to temporarily annex the east side and help my people capture the sixteen states of Yanyun."
Ziqin spoke slowly, speaking only in general terms, but not in detail. Fang La's eyes flashed with a glint, and he did not ask further questions, but instead applauded Ziqin's seemingly boastful words.
In fact, at this time, Ziqin was already thinking repeatedly in his mind that there was actually another way to quickly seize Xixia and Tubo.
It's just that that way is easy to say, but it's not easy.
This may seem like a struggle for hegemony between countries, but in fact it is not escaping the struggle for hegemony among rivers and lakes.
The country in this world of Tianlong is actually far less powerful and mysterious than Jianghu.
Ziqin hadn't figured it out yet, but he couldn't explain it to Fang La in detail. It wasn't that he was really hiding anything from Fang La. Ziqin had no interest in dominating a country, but he never thought of hiding anything from Fang La.
This time, Junshan and his party should probably go to the northwest and take a look at what is going on in the Lingjiu Palace.
Ziqin sighed secretly in his heart. Many things he thought were a bit simple, but when he actually implemented them, he found that there were many difficulties.
"Brother Tan, I will move the Ming Cult back to the northwest in the next few days. However, I have something to tell you before I leave."
Suddenly, Fang La spoke slowly, "A few days ago, my Mingjiao ** found out the news that your good friend Deng Baichuan suddenly disappeared for some reason and seemed to be kidnapped by some mysterious force."
Hearing this, Ziqin trembled all over.
Deng Baichuan disappeared.
This incident made Ziqin vaguely think of something. He only felt that the so-called collusion with foreigners seemed to be related to this matter. However, the aura was vague and abnormal. For a while, Ziqin could not clearly find the original appearance of the aura.
.
"Except for Deng Baichuan's disappearance, my professor also found out that the many gangsters trapped in Qingyun Village seem to have received some kind of order and are lurking quietly."
Fang La continued to speak, and the light in Ziqin's mind suddenly brightened, and he finally thought of a possibility. (To be continued.)
