    (La la la, la la la, I am a little expert in coding. I will send out the report before it gets dark. Today¡¯s update is really good. You can get three updates with one monthly pass!) Chapter 569: Different ways  The route taken by Xiangweimou Fang Jie to lead his troops was almost the same as when he led the Shanzi Camp from the south of Yishui River.  It's just that if a large group of people wants to go to the southwest, it is impossible to cross Mangdang Mountain.  Therefore, we have to go far away, to the confluence of Yishui River and Yangtze River, which is where Fang Jie originally went to Yongzhou to cross the river and go south.  How to cross the river is now something that must be considered.  Fang Jie had sent Chen Xiaoru to leave early, but no one knew what Chen Xiaoru was doing.  In addition, Fang Jiedao sent hundreds of people from the Xiaoqi School to the south of Mangdang Mountain in advance to collect the ships. They did not have the pontoons equipped by the Sui soldiers, so they had only two options to cross the river, either to collect enough ships, or to send a team in advance.  The men and horses rushed to the river first and cut down trees to build a wooden bridge. However, the river at the intersection of Yishui River and the Yangtze River was too wide, making the idea of ??building a wooden bridge simply impractical.  Sun Kaidao has been thinking about how to cross the river these days, but Fang Jie doesn't seem to be worried at all.  He held it in for several days and finally couldn't help but go to Fang Jie to ask.  "The general has only been reading in the carriage these days. How come he is not worried about crossing the river at all?" Fang Jie couldn't help but smile when he saw the urgency on his face and said: "You are a person who is very clear-eyed about the overall situation.  Even if you look at the general direction, I can't do it. But you are not a qualified logistics planner. You rarely think about some trivial matters. Since I have already made up my mind to go to Huangyang Road, I will naturally make arrangements." He came from behind.  He took out a letter and handed it to Sun Kaidao. Sun Kaidao quickly took it with both hands and looked at it. Then he laughed: "General, you can really hide it from others! You actually have such backup. If you had told your subordinates earlier, what would happen to your subordinates?  I can't even sleep well these days." Fang Jie said: "I naturally have to think more about military affairs. You have the talent of a prime minister, but after arriving at Huangyang Road, you are not good enough.  Recruiting soldiers and cultivating the fields to support the people needs you to take care of them." Sun Kaidao said shamefully: "It was the general who persuaded the general to send his army south, but after leaving the grassland, there were many arrangements, but the subordinates were unable to do anything. Instead, the general took charge.  Wuyi Ce has been prepared long ago. I am sorry for the kindness shown to the general" But his heart was full of worries When he followed Fang Jie, he thought that his talents were definitely better than Fang Jie's, but now he saw  When he got up, Fang Jie felt more and more unfathomable to him. Everything had been arranged in advance.  Although Fang Jie didn't say anything, if he continued like this, what use would Fang Jie have for himself?  When he thought of this, a sense of crisis immediately emerged in his heart, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.  For a long time, he felt that Fang Jie could not be separated from himself.  But now he realized that if he didn't work harder, Fang Jie's praise of his talents as prime minister would probably become a mockery.  "What are you talking about?" Fang Jie smiled and said: "Everyone has their own expertise. When I'm in a battle, you give me advice. When we decide on a certain place, you comfort me for one side. I'm not as good as you in these things. So.  I just said that you are a prime minister rather than a general. If you insist on feeling guilty and blaming yourself for something you are not familiar with, you are belittling yourself." Sun Kaidao lowered his head: "What the general teaches is that subordinates must be responsible.  Keep it in mind." "Well," Fang Jie said, "You came just in time. I was just looking for someone to invite you Look" Fang Jie unfolded the map. He sent people to search when he was on Huangyang Road.  The map was compiled and redrawn by people from the Xiaoqiu School. It was much more detailed than the map issued by the Sui Dynasty.  As Wu Daodao said, in fact, not many people really understand what a meticulous and serious person Fang Jie is.  He is always making preparations, even if many preparations are not needed, but he does not think it is a waste of time and energy.  For example, repairing Fan Gucheng didn¡¯t come in handy in the end, but Fang Jie didn¡¯t think it was a waste of time.  When he was in Huangyang Road, Fang Jie seemed to be only training Shanzi Camp every day, but in fact, he secretly sent people from Feiyupao to explore the popular terrain, because at that time, Fang Jie was already planning to establish a foundation in Huangyang Road in the future.  That's why Wu Yiyi managed to gradually move most of his workshops to Zhuque Mountain on Huangyang Road. What was left in Chang'an City was just a garment workshop.  "This is Zhuque Mountain." Fang Jie pointed and said, "If nothing else happens, the people I arranged in advance have already built a cottage here. This place is at least seven or eight hundred miles away from Huangyang Dao Daozhi, although it was rushed.  A little bit, so the construction of the cottage may only be in its rudimentary form, but it is still easier than having to deal with it after we arrive.?.  Sun Kaidao then remembered: "General Cui Zhongzhen was ordered to go south to supervise the construction of the mountain stronghold?"  " Fang Jie nodded: "Yes, when I asked him to take people to Huangyang Road, it was to find out the whereabouts of Luo Yao's troops.  Later, when I thought about it, Huangyang Road became a vacuum after Luo Yao left. It was indeed a place where we could stand.  So they didn't let him come back. They chose Zhuque Mountain and asked him to lead a group of people to pretend to be bandits and force the wealthy families nearby to move away so that no one would dare to approach them easily. Then they built a camp on the mountain.  " "My subordinates understand.  " Sun Kaidao thought for a while and said: "The general asked General Cui to pretend to be a bandit to scare away the nearby people, and then there is a person like San Jinhou to help. There must be no shortage of craftsmen with the ability to sell goods all over the world.  Building a cottage on the mountain is not too difficult.  " Fang Jie nodded: "What I want to ask you is, how should we develop after we arrive at Zhuque Mountain?  Although Zhuque Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles and can be a temporary place to stay, if it does not develop, it will only be a group of big thieves.  " "To the southwest" Sun Kaidao pointed to the southwest of Zhuque Mountain and said: "The south of Zhuque Mountain is the most southwesterly part of Huangyang Road, because it has little contact with the outside world across the mountains, but it is thousands of miles of fertile farmland, just because it is surrounded by mountains.  Inside, few people pay attention here.  But because of the traffic congestion here, there are almost no people. For the Sui Dynasty, it was almost an enclave. There was not even a county If they were to farm here, the newly recruited soldiers would be trained while farming.  " "It's like leeks" Sun Kaidao gestured with excitement: "I have trained a group of soldiers and planted several seasons of food.  Repeatedly and endlessly.  " Fang Jie smiled inwardly when he saw the bright look on Sun Kaidao's face. He couldn't see that the southwest of Zhuque Mountain was a good place. The first batch of people who went there were already opening up wasteland. He just didn't want Sun Kaidao to lose his confidence.  This person is a useful talent, and if it is because he feels that he is not as good as Fang Jie, then this talent will be finished If there are still people in the northwest who dare to stop the 70,000 cavalry armed to the teeth, there are also those recruited along the way.  With a team as large as ten thousand civilians, it can only be said that the person who dared to do this was definitely not a warrior but a fool. And the strangest thing is that there really are such people in this world who rebelled against Li Yuanshan.  When the army arrived at the original west camp, the cavalry rangers who were clearing the way were actually stopped by a group of bandits. There are always many unruly people in Hou Wushan, but the level of thieves in this group is really impressive.  The bandits may have just seen the few hundred cavalrymen opening the way and thought they were a lone army. After blocking the official road, they clamored to hand over their weapons and horses to let the cavalrymen escape, but the few hundred cavalrymen didn't even pay attention to them.  The bandits were annoyed and refused to get out of the way. Judging from their posture, they were exhausted. As a result, when the endless cavalry troops came from behind, they didn't know how many people were in the group of bandits.  I was so scared that I peed my pants. Anyway, the bearded leader who thought he was brave was so scared that his legs weakened. The younger ones behind him wanted to run away, but they were all taken back by the rangers. Fang Jie didn¡¯t even interrogate these bandits.  , and directly approved the word "kill". The cavalry rushed forward like wolves and tigers, killing everyone in the valley. Except for the young people under the age of twenty and the old people over the age of fifty, they all chopped up.  Zhuo Buyi was a little puzzled. Zhuo Buyi, who had been thinking hard about Prince Zhong's words of advice to him these days, seldom went out. After hearing that Fang Jie ordered the massacre of the bandits, he couldn't bear it, so he boarded Fang Jie's carriage.  "Jue Xiao" Zhuo Buyi sat down opposite Fang Jie, was silent for a while and said: "I think you have become more and more violent recently. Although those bandits are causing trouble, not all of them may die.  Although you let those young people and old people go, you still killed too many.  I knew that most of those people were the rebels under Li Yuanshan, and many of them had blood debts in their hands, but I still felt that killing people like this was too hasty.  " Fang Jie smiled and poured him a cup of tea. "I know what you mean, sir. You are afraid that I will lose my heart because of my excessive blood-heartedness and violence.  " "Yes" Zhuo Buyi nodded. Fang Jie pushed the hot tea to him, thought about it and said, "Sir, what do you think I am going to do?"  "Zhuo Buyi was startled: "Although I am not involved in military matters, I know that now you have to carve out a niche.  With so many soldiers following you, it doesn't work even if you don't have this intention.  I just feel that if there is less killing, there will be less killing.  Fang Jie said slowly: "Sir, you are wrong. Maybe I didn't have this before."It's a thought, but it must be done now.  My husband thought I was too violent, but in fact I did it on purpose.  My husband doesn't like military matters, nor does he like temple disputes.  But my husband has a clear mind, and he should be able to see what my soldiers lack most now.  " "What's missing" Zhuo Buyi thought for a moment and shook his head: "We have enough troops and food, but I don't know what we're missing."  " "Lack of murderous intention" Fang Jie said seriously: "Sir, you may not have thought about the path I will take.  I led the troops to kill the northern barbarians who had not provoked me at all, in order to cultivate the murderous spirit in the soldiers.  I just ordered to kill most of the bandits just to let the soldiers feel this murderous intention.  I have to make them adapt to one thing whoever stands in front will be killed.  If there is no such murderous intention, then trying to open up a side is just a joke.  Even if I have a hundred thousand soldiers, what's the use?  They don't dare to raise their swords, no matter how well they train, it's meaningless.  " "Now I let them see more blood, so that they can fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield in the future. They are not afraid of blood.  If I were more ruthless, I would not have ordered the young man and the old man to be released first.  Soldiers are the most ferocious weapons in the world, and I want to cultivate some more ferocity!  " Zhuo Buyi was silent, then nodded: "I really haven't thought about this, and I really don't understand this.  Maybe you're right, but it's a bit hard for me to adjust to.  I understand what you mean. Making soldiers more and more fierce will increase their chances of surviving on the battlefield in the future.  " "Yes" Fang Jie nodded. "I'm leaving.  "Zhuo Buyi was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Conquering the world is indeed not what I thought.  Fang Jie frowned slightly, sat up straight and asked, "Where are you going, sir?"  ""Qingle Mountain" He smiled: "Actually, even if there was no such thing as today, I still have to say goodbye.  My heart is in the mountains and fields, and in the army my mind will only become more and more chaotic.  I was deeply moved by what Prince Zhong said that day, so I planned to go to Yiqiguan to borrow Taoist classics, hoping to benefit from it.  You lead the troops to cultivate murderous aura, while I want to enlighten myself and cultivate tranquility.  " Fang Jie thought for a while, took off a piece of decorative jade pendant from his body, and then picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the jade pendant. The power of heaven and earth's vitality forced the ink into the jade, and the small words were clearly visible but indelible. "Gianjue  Fang Jie, Xiaozhi's mentor and friend, saluted solemnly: "May you, sir, achieve greatness as soon as possible.  " Mr. Zhuo took the jade plaque and smiled freely: "Your way lies in the country, and my way lies in human power. You and I are both practicing in order to obtain the way, but the way forward is different.  Although you and I are destined to part ways, we will always be friends.  To say auspicious words I hope to see you again in Chang'an City.  " Fang Jie was startled for a moment, and then bowed solemnly.
