    Chapter 701: How a Live Game Turns into a Dead Game When the tiger-attacking team left Yongbei Road, Du Jianzhou, the governor of Yongbei Province, started sending them away from Daozhi City and continued for three hundred miles.  This meant that Puhu ignored him. If he had given him some good looks, he might have been sent to Yongzhou City in one go.  Now the entire Central Plains knows that the emperor is not the emperor, and the general is not the general.  But the latter is obviously much stronger.  Therefore, in the eyes of local officials, this trip south to attack the tiger is more or less like an imperial envoy's southern tour.  Therefore, when passing through the southwest roads, the governors of each road looked groveling, showing an intriguing humility towards Pu Hu.  This attitude seems a bit unusual.  After entering Pingshang Road, I thought Fang Jie would come to greet him in person, but in addition to the state and county officials along the way who went out to greet him, even a prominent person from the Black Flag Army showed up.  This not only surprised Tan Qingge and Puhu, but also the girls in Hongxiuzhao.  "The answer is death!" The young master cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth in the carriage, looking out the window with a somewhat erratic look.  Xi Zhuxin, who was sitting on the side, glanced at her lightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.  The young master got into Xi Zhuwick's carriage early in the morning and remained silent since entering. His first words were to scold Fang Jie.  "Why are you scolding him?" He took a breath, put his mind to the book in his hand, and straightened the hair hanging down in front of his forehead and asked softly.  "We have entered Pingshang Road, and it is only a hundred miles away from Yongzhou. According to logic, shouldn't he come to greet him in person? Is it difficult for him to leave his shabby military camp? When he was in Fangu, he went to Hongxiu Zhao at least once a day  Eat and drink. When you get to Chang'an City, you only have to go there every three to five days. Now that he has become a general, I heard that the emperor will give him a promotion, which is so impressive!  Said with pursed lips.  "If we, the Red Sleeves, are the only ones who come to Yongzhou, he will definitely come to pick him up, not to mention a hundred miles, five hundred miles, or a thousand miles. But have you forgotten, we are not the only ones here. And now we are in Tiejia  In the army, it sounds like we are being escorted, but in reality we are not the hostages in the hands of Puhu." The young leader was stunned for a moment, and then said sadly: "After Mr. Luo left, outsiders felt that we were here.  Hongxiu¡¯s moves are very deceiving.¡± ¡°Master Luo is here, things will happen as they should.¡± Xi Zhuxin¡¯s voice was very soft, just like her dancing skills.  "If Fang Jie comes out of the city to greet us, he will be showing weakness to Puhu. And once Puhu feels that Fang Jie is really showing weakness, then Puhu will also feel that our Red Sleeves move is very important to Fang Jie, and we are with him  With his hand, he can threaten Fang Jie unscrupulously. "But" The young master turned to look at Xi Zhuxin and asked, "Shouldn't Fang Jie rescue us early?" "How?"  Core asked rhetorically.  Seeing that the young master didn't know how to answer, Xi Zhuxin smiled and said, "Why did the emperor send Tan Qingge to give Fang Jie's reward? Why did the armored general send Pu Hu to follow him to Yongzhou?" Without waiting for the young master to answer, she continued:  "Because Fang Jie's current position is very important. The Southwest Dao has always been the land of fish and rice in the Sui Dynasty. It is the place that paid the most money, food and taxes to the imperial court in the past many years. Luo Yao used the Four Southwest Dao as his foundation and cultivated hundreds of them in more than 20 years.  Tens of thousands of troops have never stopped delivering anything to the court, so even the court can't believe that Luo Yao can actually expand his army so much in private.  It is prosperous and prosperous, but this place only needs to rest for two or three years, and it is still the most important place in the Sui Dynasty. During the Zhenzong period, if it were not for the prosperity of this place, the Sui Dynasty would not have launched troops against the Shang Kingdom." She glanced at the Shang Dynasty.  The Warring States policy was something handed down from two thousand years ago. At that time, there was civil strife in the Central Plains, and the princes stood side by side. Sometimes they joined forces and sometimes they fought against each other.  Someone recorded the most thought-provoking things in this period of history to serve as a warning to future generations.  "Now, it's like the Warring States Period two thousand years ago." Xi Zhuxin said: "During the Warring States Period, all the heroes stood side by side and the court was weak. In order to survive, the Zhao Dynasty at that time had to submit to the princes. In the late Warring States Period, the Zhao Dynasty came out  There was a stunning young emperor named Yin Zhong. At that time, the imperial court existed in name only. After the young emperor Yin Zhong succeeded to the throne, the emperor's orders could not be fully implemented in the capital, and the princes from all over the country had no respect for the emperor.  " Most of the emperors before Yin Zhong followed the trend and did not dare to do anything. But Yin Zhong thought that since the dynasty was still there, he would have the opportunity to revive the great power of Zhao.  ?Young, but extremely smart.  Later, he came up with a way to finally weaken the strength of the princes. At the same time, he quietly accumulated an army and assassinated Guo Mu, the Marquis of Liyang, with 800 dead men. After that, Zhao began the road to resurgence.  "    "ah?  " The young master asked: "Then how did Yin Zhong do it?  " Xi Zhuxin said softly: "It's actually simple to say it's just a estrangement.  He used various means to gradually collapse the alliance between the princes. The princes turned against each other and fought for years, and their strength was not as good as before.  Then he won over a group of them through rewards that were not valuable at the time.  For example, he made the Marquis of Chuzhou the King of Chu, and the fiefdom was in the territory of the Marquis of Liyang.  The Marquis of Chuzhou did not dare to lead troops against the Marquis of Liyang, so Yin Zhong took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to use 800 private soldiers to defeat the Marquis of Liyang's 3,000 elite troops and kill the Marquis of Liyang.  " "When Chuzhou Hou saw that Liyang Hou was dead, he immediately led his troops to capture the Chu land and promoted him to the king of Chu.  On the surface, Yinzhong obeyed the King of Chu, but he tried to hint to the King of Chu that someone advised him to kill the King of Chu and invite others to defend the imperial capital.  As the status of the King of Chu gradually increased, he also became domineering. Instigated by Yin Zhong, he was furious and immediately sent troops to attack other princes.  " Xi Zhuxin said: "In this way, all the princes in the entire Central Plains were mobilized by Yin Zhong, and they fought hard, but he benefited from it and gradually developed. After killing the King of Chu, he began to conquer various places personally, and finally revitalized the country.  The Zhao Dynasty lasted for more than three hundred years.  " "But, what does this have to do with Fang Jie?  "The young master asked. "Of course there is. Don't you think that the Central Plains now is very similar to the Great Zhao at that time?  Xi Zhuxin smiled and said: "Jin Shixiong is firmly in the northwest and is the king of the northwest."  Luo Tu led the troops north of Jiangbei and became the king of Jiangbei.  Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu led troops to Hedong Road and became the kings of Hedong.  All the people in the Northeast looked at the face of the Mu family. The Mu family was the king of the Northeast.  Needless to say, there are various factions and princes in the south of the Yangtze River.  And Fang Jie now occupies the southwest. In the eyes of the emperor, he is the king of the southwest.  " "What a headache." The young master frowned, "I can't think clearly about these things" Xi Zhuxin smiled and said, "I'm also bored and had nothing to do along the way, so I thought more Now there is an armored person in the court.  General, hold on, don't you think, this armored general looks a bit like the King of Chu invited by Yin Zhong?  Yinzhong used the power of the King of Chu to intimidate all parties from coveting the imperial capital easily.  Then instigate the King of Chu to go to war" "Huh?  " The young master was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that the young emperor regarded Fang Jie as the Marquis of Liyang?  " "It's not much different However, there are many different changes, but the root of the strategy is still the same.  Xi Zhuxin said: "The Iron Armored General is now in the court, and he is somewhat threatening the emperor to control the princes. The emperor himself has no strength. If he wants to get rid of the Iron Armored General, he can only use external forces."  But now looking at the entire Central Plains, no one is willing to stand up and fight to the death with the armored general.  Only Fang Jie, because it seems that Fang Jie is a person who can be won over. He is not from a different family and is relatively independent.  Inciting Fang Jie to start a war with General Tiejia, even if Fang Jie died, it would have no impact on the emperor or the various families.  The emperor now does not dare to openly offend the Iron Armored General, nor does he want to force those aristocratic families to join forces, so he can only use Fang Jie to weaken the Iron Armored General.  " The young master was confused when he heard it, but he had some ideas. She was silent for a while and then said: "What the young lady means is that the little emperor sent Tan Qingge to see Fang Jie, but he actually had no good intentions.  When he unsealed the reward to Fang, he actually imitated Yin Zhong's routine of granting rewards to the King of Chu in disguise. However, there was already a King of Chu in the court, and he wanted to create another King of Chu, so that the two King of Chu would not be interested in each other.  Rong, fight to the death.  "Xi Zhuxin nodded. The young master thought for a while and continued: "Because the young emperor was not sure that he could lead those aristocratic families to fight against the armored generals, so he pinned his hopes on Fang Jie.  If Fang Jie is defeated, with Fang Jie's current strength, he can severely damage the Iron Armored Army.  Good thing for the emperor.  Fang Jie's death eliminated one of the princes, which was a good thing for him.  And if Fang Jie wins by luck, then Fang Jie will definitely lose his strength. When the time comes, the little emperor can get rid of Fang Jie, and he will not offend anyone in the family, because Fang Jie belongs to any family!  General Iron Armor went on a killing spree in Chang'an City, and Fang Jie massacred all the way in the southwest, offending everyone from the aristocratic family" "Yeah" Xi Zhuxin nodded again. "How insidious!  " The young master cursed bitterly, and she frowned: "But, how to provoke Fang Jie and General Iron Armor?  " A trace of worry flashed in Xi Zhuxin's eyes, and he lowered his voice: "Puhu seems to be particularly important to that armored general. Although I don't know what the relationship between the two of them is, but if  Puhu????In Yongzhou, the armored general will be furious.  The little emperor even gave Fang Jie a secret edict to lead his troops back to Chang'an.  If this is the case, no matter whether the armored general leads the troops south or Fang Jie leads the troops north, war will be inevitable.  "    "ah!  " The young master's face changed drastically: "Then we have to find a way and notify Fang Jie as soon as possible. We can't let him kill Puhu!  Xi Zhuxin shook his head: "No need If Fang Jie can't come to pick us up, doesn't he already see through this layer?"  " She glanced out the window and said with some sadness: "There is just one thing I haven't figured out If Fang Jie sees through this layer and doesn't kill the tiger, then this strategy will be meaningless.  Unlessunless the purpose of attacking the tiger is to kill, then this is a dead end.  "     Fang Jie rubbed his sore brows and played with an extremely finely crafted jade unicorn in his hand: "This is not a dead end with no solution The tiger is not here to kill me, but to kill me.  I won't kill him either If you want to turn this game from full of loopholes to a dead end with no solution, there must be a change that no one can expect.  " Sanjinhou Wu Yiyi was silent for a long time and shook his head: "I don't know where this accident happened.  Now we can only wait until Puhu and his party arrive in Yongzhou. Our Black Flag Army has no conflict or interest in that armored general, so there is no reason to kill him, right?  " Fang Jie nodded: "The little emperor's arrangement shows that he has an arrangement that will lead to death if he attacks the tiger.  " He frowned deeply because he couldn't find where the arrangements were for attacking the tiger to death. "We can only wait.  " San Jinhou sighed: "Try to prevent him from dying in Yongzhou.  " Fang Jie was silent, and something suddenly occurred to his mind. He turned his head and looked out the window, and the vague clues were still confusing and hard to find.
