    (Asking for monthly votes for motivation) Chapter 716: It¡¯s hard to go south. Some people can turn back if they miss it.  There are some words that you will never have the opportunity to say again if you miss them.  No one knows what kind of mood Sun Kaidao left the inn, and what kind of mood he had when he moved into the spacious house prepared by Fang Jie for him.  As Chen Xiaoru said, the house was clean inside and out, but empty.  Sun Kaidao thought of Chen Xiaoru's words. He said that the general would just leave it alone.  This sentence doesn¡¯t matter, how much of the sentiment has been lost?  Chen Xiaoru returned from the south of the city and went directly to Fang Jie to return his life. Fang Jie did not ask Sun Kaidao what his reaction was, as if he had forgotten this person immediately.  But Chen Xiaoru felt a faint sense of loss in the general's eyes. Wasn't he feeling the same?  Although Sun Kaidao followed Fang Jie halfway, he was already considered an old man in the Black Flag Army.  If nothing else happens, I will have a very decent home in the future.  But now, he can only disappear from the sight of the Black Flag Army with dignity.  "Call all the generals to discuss matters." Fang Jie gave a calm order, and Chen Xiaoru left immediately.  Everyone in the Black Flag Army knew about the invasion of Nanyan. There had been no fighting in the past few days, and the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were all a bit panicked.  The county soldiers brought from the Southwest Third Road were not looking forward to fighting, after all, they had not really experienced a war.  However, the Black Flag Army cavalry, who were already addicted to victory, originally thought it was a good thing to calm down and rest for a while, but the itchy feeling in their hands after being idle for a while made them a little restless.  It was at this moment that the generals of the Black Flag Army understood what Fang Jie meant by using blood to feed the murderous aura of the Black Flag Army soldiers.  "Nothing is possible without fighting" The generals who came to Yongzhou with Fang Jie arrived early and waited in the meeting hall of the General's Mansion, while the newly promoted generals of the border army still seemed a little reserved.  They were rescued from various border cities by Fang Jie and the Black Flag Army, but they were still a little unfamiliar with the Black Flag Army.  However, the border troops have never been unfamiliar with war.  Even when the Sui Dynasty was peaceful, these frontier troops were not far from killing.  When Fang Jie came in, all the generals stood up and stood in silence, and then performed a military salute.  Fang Jie sat down in the upright position and pressed his hand down to signal everyone to sit down.  Because they are not going out to discuss matters, the generals do not need to wear heavy armor.  If you wear armor, sitting is actually more comfortable than standing.  "There is something that all the old men in the Black Flag Army know, but people who are from the Pingshang Road frontier army don't know much about it." Fang Jie pondered for a while and said: "In Zhuque Mountain, there are several workers under the Black Flag Army.  We need a lot of iron ore, and we have always been exchanging with Jin Shixiong. But starting from last month, Jin Shixiong began to delay the delivery date of iron ore and raised the price again and again. There is no iron ore in Southwest Fourth Road.  , so if we want to expand weapons and equipment, we need to buy them. When we don¡¯t have a firm foothold, we can do this, but now, if we don¡¯t have our own iron ore, we will have too many constraints after all.  General, when will we launch troops against Nan Yan?" Xiahou Baichuan said with a smile: "The arms of those boys below are getting rusty from shouting all day long." "This is a good thing."  It is inevitable to launch troops against Nanyan. I came to you to discuss this matter. Not to mention whether Nanyan has iron ore, I just said that Murong Shai should pay more for killing so many of us and taking away so many of our people.  Price. In fact, Murong Shao has been sending people to negotiate peace for the past few months, saying that he was instigated by traitors to launch an army against the Sui Dynasty.  "Bah!" Chen Dingnan curled his lips and said: "He took those things from Pingshangdao. Now you want to return some of them and be done with it?" "Of course not," Fang explained.  It is not difficult to say that Nan Yan mobilizes troops, but it is not easy in fact. Two-thirds of Nan Yan's territory is mountainous, and most of the people live on the plains. Those large cities are extremely strong, and if Murong Shao knew that he would not be able to escape.  It will be difficult to capture him if we go deep into the mountains. So we have to figure out how to win." "Force him to surrender?" Liu Xuri thought for a while and said, "Chen Bing can force Murong Shao to surrender outside the city.  Promise not to kill him, just wait for him to come out and then kill him." "That will be so easy!" Qin Yuan, the general of the border army, shook his head and said, "The general may not know much about the Nanyan people, and he doesn't know much about Murong Shai either.  .We have been at the frontier for a long time.?Shameless villains know best.  Murong Shai is cunning and fickle, and he doesn't trust his courtiers, so how can he trust us?  If Chen Bing was really outside Dali City, he might have fled to the mountains long ago.  Nanyan has many mountains, and the mountains are full of wolves, tigers and leopards. The people of Nanyan know these mountains very well and know where to hide people.  But we don¡¯t know that if we dive in headfirst, seven out of ten injuries will be caused not by the fighting on the battlefield, but by a lack of understanding of the terrain.  " Sanjin Hou pondered for a while and said: "I heard that Murong Shai is not very prestigious in Nanyan.  Although he is the emperor of Nanyan, most of the aristocratic families in several big cities in the southern part of the Yan Kingdom do not obey the orders of the Nanyan court It is better for the general to send people to contact those who are dissatisfied with Murong Shai and join forces to defeat him.  You can promise to the aristocratic families in the southern part of the Yan Kingdom that you will not embarrass them after the demise of the Southern Yan Kingdom.  " Fang Jie shook his head: "It seems that they are at odds, but at some point, they will be of the same mind If I launch an army against Nan Yan, although the families in the southern part of the Yan Kingdom are dissatisfied with Murong Shai, they understand one thing better.  , Murong Shai was still the emperor of Nanyan, and their aristocratic families were the princes of one party.  If Murong Shai died and Nan Yan was destroyed, would they still be as carefree as before?  Therefore, it is not easy to incite rebellion against them.  " San Jinhou nodded: "That's true.  " "Send a master to assassinate?  " He asked again. Fang Jie was silent for a while and didn't say anything. The people from the Xiaoqiu School have not returned with any definite news, so there must be some great practitioners protecting Murong Shai. Moreover, Murong Shai himself was the commander of the Shang Kingdom's imperial guards at the time.  His own cultivation is enough to gain a foothold in the world Assassination, if not careful, could kill a large number of riders and masters At the end of the discussion, Fang Jie did not come up with a specific order.  The men and horses of each battalion were ready to go out at any time. They could not slack off in training and sent everyone back. The generals thought that it would be easy to defeat Nanyan, but the more they discussed, the more they became clear about why a small country like Nanyan could always exist beside the Sui Dynasty.  Is it as simple as Murong Shai surrendering? The terrain of Nanyan is very special, with more mountains and less plains. Two-thirds of the land is made up of mountains of various sizes. However, Nanyan has a sparse population, so it doesn¡¯t matter if they all live on the plains.  Crowded. But as long as there is a war, these people will flock into the mountains to avoid disaster. Outsiders are not familiar with the terrain, and sinking into the mountains is like sinking into a swamp. Because of this, the Sui Dynasty never moved south.  The reason why Yan did not move was that the gains outweighed the losses. Even if it was difficult for the Sui army to defeat the Great Shang, it would still be possible to defeat Nan Yan by consuming a large number of elite troops.  Territory, there is not much benefit for the Sui Dynasty. It is a bit heartbreaking to lose the brave and skilled soldiers of the Sui Dynasty in the primitive jungle and steep mountains. On the battlefield, Nan Yan's army is not worth it.  Mention it. But in Nan Yan, the biggest enemy was not the Nan Yan army. The Emperor of Sui originally intended to take advantage of the situation to destroy Nan Yan.  The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty found that destroying Nanyan was not as beneficial as retaining Nanyan. Murong Shai would have to donate a large amount of supplies every year. If Nanyan was destroyed, not only would he suffer losses, but he would also have to send troops to defend it.  Nanyan is adjacent to the primitive jungle where the He people live, and the He people will not welcome the Sui army. "After defeating the He people, the Xiaoqi School sent some people into Nanyan.  " Chen Xiaoru said with some sadness: "But Nanyan is too damn small. There are four big cities to the north of Nanyan, and beyond these four cities is Dali.  The Knight Riding School had limited manpower at the time, so not many were sent there.  In addition, Murong Shai was afraid of the Black Flag Army's retaliation and ordered the borders to be closed. The gates of the four major cities were closed. People from the Xiaoqi Riding School could enter but could not get out!  " Qilin scolded from the side: "This Murong Shai can be called a coward. It has been so long and he still hasn't ordered the opening of the city.  " "Of course he is afraid!  " Chen Xiaoru said: "The men and horses that were put together with great difficulty were destroyed by the general in one battle.  He knows how powerful our Black Flag Army is, so how dare he open the door?  But now, we know too little about Nanyan.  Even if the people from the Knight Riding School found out a lot of information, they couldn't send it out at all.  "Although Nanyan is small" Fang Jie frowned slightly and said: "To the west is the jungle of the He people, to the north is the Sui Dynasty, and to the east is the seabut there is no waterway going directly through it. If our navy wants to bypass those four  City, we have to enter Jiangnan from Luoshui, and then go all the way through the Jiangnan roads and enter the sea Don't say that if we don't go to Jiangnan, even if we can get by, our warships are still too small and not suitable for sailing in the sea. The navy's current  The troops are simply not capable of long-distance raids.  ¡±  "It seems that the only way to go is to send experts to assassinate people." Chen Xiaoru clasped his fists and said: "General, my subordinates can choose a group of experts to pass through the jungle of the He people and enter Nanyan, so that they can't reach out.  Too many people will be lost in the jungle. Only by assassinating the generals guarding the city and opening the city gate can the army go all the way south. "Not to mention that the primitive jungle is more dangerous. Even if you go through it, there will be fewer people."  It doesn't help. Everyone knows that Murong Shai is afraid of death. The guards around him are all experts from all over the world. It is difficult to assassinate the generals who are guarding the city. If they continue to live in the military camp,  "It's even harder." "So there's nothing you can do to defeat a small Nanyan?" "Yes, there is" Fang Jie sighed slightly, the firearms camp was ready for use.  However, is it worth it to expose the firearms camp by attacking a small Nanyan?  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Chang¡¯an City has a city wall that towers like clouds.  The armored general looked south with a solemn expression.  "Wan Xingchen thought this would make me suffer. He underestimated the ability of a founding emperor. If you don't have the courage and mentality to give up everything, how can you have everything? For future generations, as long as they are not cut off, what does it matter if they die?  Wan Xingchen, you don't know how to make me suffer. My heart I stopped hurting from losing something meaningless a long time ago." He looked back at Chang'an City.  The direction of the garden.  "As long as I recover, I will lead the army to the south In order to revive the Sui Dynasty, the Yang family should make some sacrifices." "Send someone to inform Puhu not to return to Chang'an City, and let him wait in Jiangbei Road.  I, Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing are not leading the troops well, so there is no use in keeping them"
