Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty, sat on the main seat. The generals of the black flag army obviously had some bad faces. Several generals looked at me and you. They were dissatisfied in their eyes. Speaking of now, these generals of the black flag army actually don''t have much awe of the royal family of the great Sui Dynasty.
It seems to be aware of these differences. Yang Qinyan cleared his throat and said, "give general Fang a seat beside me. General Fang is the Lord and I am a guest. I can''t lose etiquette. Moreover, if general Fang doesn''t plan strategies, I can''t leave Chang''an safely. If general Fang doesn''t insist, I won''t sit here."
A soldier really moved a chair to put it on, and was stopped by Fang Xie: "retreat. Now your highness is a king and we are ministers. You have forgotten the way of kings and ministers?"
The soldier retreated, but his eyes looked at Yang Qinyan with some dissatisfaction. Yang Qinyan smiled awkwardly, so she had to find a topic to expose the little thing, but after she said something, she immediately realized that she was wrong, but she couldn''t take it back.
"General Fang went south and won the battle. It''s gratifying. It''s just... When will he go north to fight against the enemy?"
She wanted to change the atmosphere before, but her words made the atmosphere colder. The generals'' eyes at her changed, and Yang Qinyan understood the meaning. But the words had been said, and she had to wait for Fang Xie''s answer.
"I also want to move north as soon as possible to fight against the rebels and destroy the thieves. But if the army goes south and returns in vain, first, the money and food consumed will be meaningless, and it will be difficult to make up for it in a short time, and I can''t explain it to the soldiers who died in the war. Second, if it suddenly returns in the middle of the fight, the victory will be equivalent to sending back the three cities won by thousands of soldiers in an instant He was recaptured by Nanman. Third, many things need to be prepared to go north, such as grain, grass, baggage, weapons and armor. My minister has ordered the Zhuque mountain camp to prepare these things. After Nanyan is calm, he can wave his army north. "
Yang Qinyan didn''t expect Fang Xie to give such a detailed and serious answer, so he smiled gratefully at him. Sitting in front of such a large group of armored generals, she was really a little unnatural. It was a lie to say that she was not nervous. After all, she has never faced such a scene for so many years. The imperial garden of the imperial palace is her world.
She really doesn''t know much about the court.
"I... just say it casually. General Fang made his own decision in military affairs."
Yang Qinyan lowered his head and hid the slight red on his face, but he couldn''t find what to say next. In fact, on the way, she thought about how to talk to Fang Xie about killing back to Chang''an City countless times. She also prepared a lot of words for herself, both in emotion and reason. But when she saw the solution, she suddenly found that she had forgotten all her words.
In fact, she was not familiar with each other''s solution. All her memories before going south were just the disgusting joke in the secret prison of the bodyguard. Really, she should hate this talent.
But now, she found that she could only rely on this person.
"Chen Xiaoru"
Fang Xie turned his head and said: "Find some servant girls in the city who are innocent, polite and humble. Choose them from the families I designated today, tell them the rules, and stay with your highness in the future. In addition, choose good people from Xiaoqi school, and then choose a smart hundred families to lead the team to protect your highness. Also, you don''t have to buy what your highness needs from the city and take some servant girls to buy it It''s complete. I''ll pay as much as I should. After I go out, I''ll order the people of Xiaoqi school to patrol the city in turn. Anyone who harasses the people will be killed without asking for guilt. It''s the same whether it''s the naughty scoundrels in the city or the people in my black flag army. "
"Here!"
Chen Xiaoru answered and hurriedly went out to make preparations.
"Chen Dingnan"
"My subordinates are here!"
"The people who take you will count the number of soldiers, pay and rearrange those who are willing to stay according to the Customary System of the black flag army. If they are unwilling to stay, let them go home to farm and give some silver."
"Here!"
"Dugu"
Dugu Wenxiu hurriedly got up and said, "yes."
"Wei Xiting is busy selecting local officials. You should pick up the re registration of the people in the city and hand it in when the things in Wei Xiting''s hand are clearer. In addition, since I have ordered half of the materials to be distributed to the people before clearing the granary, I can''t break my promise. All the people who take the initiative to register will be distributed according to their families, and there can''t be less than one grain of rice."
"Subordinates understand!"
Dugu Wenxiu took orders and left.
"The generals of other battalions all went back to count the troops, treat the wounded, and count all the soldiers who died in the war. I''ll have a list tomorrow, and then send one to Zhuque mountain camp and Yongzhou. I''ll give it to the local officials to verify each household and distribute the pension according to the control. The money was bought by the soldiers with their lives. If anyone dares to deduct a copper money, I''ll copy his home and destroy his nine families."
"Here!"
The generals got up and hugged their fists: "please obey the general''s order!"
"That..."
Yang Qinyan suddenly raised his head and said with some stumbling: "generals, wait a minute, I have something to say..."
They had already raised their feet to go, and all came back after listening to her.
"You are the pillars of the Sui Dynasty. It''s all up to you to restore the country and kill the rebels in the future. Since I''m here on behalf of the royal family, I can''t ignore your achievements. Whether it''s killing the thieves in the northwest, killing the invaders in the south, or killing the enemy with the blood of the black flag army, it''s a great contribution! In particular, general Fang, pacifying the local people and expelling the wild, should be the first. The emperor said several times when he was alive, general Fang In the future, he will be an indispensable person in the great Sui Dynasty. "
"But now I can''t give you any real benefits... Now that the Sui Dynasty is stormy and the party is rampant, the capital of the country has fallen into the hands of rebellion. Therefore, I can''t get anything even if I want a thick reward. I can only add officials and rank for you. Other rewards will be considered after I take back the imperial capital."
Everyone looked at her and no one spoke, waiting for her to continue.
"General Fang has killed enemies for the country in recent years, Mongolian Tartars in the northwest and traitors from Li Yuanshan. After going south, he calmed down the southwest roads and settled the border in the first war. Now he leads troops to Nanyan to open up territory for the great Sui Dynasty. If there is no reward for such great merit, God will not agree. Therefore, I think about it and decide to represent the Royal General of the great Sui Dynasty as the first-class Duke of the country! The reward from all kings , I''ll make a decision after discussing with the general. "
She waited for everyone to thank her, but saw dozens of generals standing up straight and giving a standard military salute to Fang Xie: "congratulations on the grand general''s Jinfeng!"
Fang Xie nodded slightly, turned around and hugged Yang Qinyan and said, "thank you, your highness!"
Yang Qinyan was a little depressed, but he didn''t show it.
……
……
"That girl is stupid. Is she really the Yang family?"
Chen Dingnan sat on a broken wall with a hairy grass in his mouth, looked at the sinking sun in the distance, smiled and said: "In this world, the three words of the Yang family actually don''t carry much weight. Many people say that the reason why the Lord took her in is that the Yang family was really good to the Lord at the beginning, and some people say that the Lord wanted to be fair in the future... But I just looked at this woman and couldn''t help kicking her down when she sat in that chair."
"You have to bear it!"
Dugu Wenxiu patted him on the shoulder and said: "the great cause of the Lord has just begun. Although Huang Yang Dao has stabilized his feet, there are still many things he hasn''t done in the whole southwest. You''re not right now. You''ve been crazy since the beginning... It''s a pity if you get guilty in the future?"
"My Dugu Aotian!"
Chen Dingnan smiled and said, "if I were really careless and talkative, I wouldn''t just tell you. My brothers in the army know that you are smart. I just want to ask you... Lord, don''t make wedding clothes for others and work hard to fight the world. Do you really want to give them back to the Yang family?"
"The Lord has his own decision."
The only one, Wen Xiu, shook his head. "I mentioned to the Lord, the princess is a double-edged sword. This princess is right and proper. We black flag army is very good at whatever they fight. But the other blade is jealousy. The officers and men are worried about their future, and if the army is in a bad mood, it will be broken."
"So?"
Asked Chen Dingnan.
"So?"
Dugu Wenxiu smiled and said, "you can see everything clearly. Why do you ask me?"
Chen Dingnan laughed: "I understand. All the people in the army understand, but let the highness not understand."
"Talk!"
Dugu Wenxiu glanced at him and turned to leave.
When he turned around, he happened to see that the whole team of Jingbu camp was ready to return to the camp. The strong man in front of him made him pay special attention: "General Chen, who is that man?"
He asked, pointing.
"That man, named Nalan dingdong, was from northern Liao. At the beginning, Prince Wan Yan Chongde of northern Liao fought side by side with the LORD with cold cavalry. Later, the people of northern Liao were unwilling to participate in the battle between the Han people. In addition, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty issued an order to allow the people of northern Liao to move into northern Xinjiang, so Wan Yan Chongde went back with his men and horses. He was seriously injured and stayed. Now he is a member of Jingbu camp Bai Hu. If I hadn''t happened to see this man''s ferocity during the fight the day before yesterday, I wouldn''t know. Nie Xiaoju is in charge of Jingbu camp. You should ask him. "
"Well"
Dugu Wenxiu nodded, but he couldn''t help moving when he heard the name. He suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard, but he didn''t know whether it was true or false. However, since there was such a rumor, it might not be groundless.
"What a big man!"
He praised and left, and Chen Dingnan didn''t care.
……
……
"South, north, East and West..."
Fang Xie murmured, and his thoughts returned to the northwest. When he heard these words, he didn''t care much, but things seemed more and more coincidental.
"Get Nalan dingdong."
He gave an order, and his soldiers immediately ran out to find someone.
Dugu Wenxiu, who stood aside, said: "it''s better to care about such mysterious things. Besides, his martial arts and martial arts are not vulgar, so he can be reused. However, the identity of the northern Liao people is not appropriate. If he is promoted fiercely, I''m afraid other generals will feel aggrieved."
Fang Xie nodded: "let''s transfer to Qin yuan''s infantry army first. If this person can be of great use, he will be promoted in the future. First, he will be promoted to another general, and give him a break camp to take with him."
"Alone, Wen Xiu" asked, "by the way, the royal highness of the princess is a Duke of the kingdom. Do you know if it has been decided?"
Fang Xie nodded: "she invited San Jin Hou to discuss with two people and initially decided to protect the country. However, because Luo Yao''s title is also the Duke of the country, it was changed to loyalty, read about the loyal prince, and changed to protection. San Jin Hou said it was wrong, and then changed to town."
"Zhenguogong"
Dugu Wenxiu nodded: "the word Zhen is the fourth of the eight characters of the first-class Duke of the country. At the beginning, Emperor Taizu of the great Sui Dynasty granted rewards to the founding heroes, including loyal and brave protection. Zhen Wei decided to accept the eight characters as the first-class Duke of the country, and Li Xiao, the general in the reign of Taizong, was also the title of the Duke of the town."
"It''s just a title. Don''t care."
Fang Xie waved his hand: "don''t delay Feng Ping too long. The army will leave immediately after five days of rest. Tomorrow I''ll go to Peicheng first. If the eldest princess needs anything, you can discuss it with San jinhou. In addition... Write a letter to Cui Zhongzhen..."
Fang decompressed in a low voice and said a few words. Dugu Wenxiu''s eyes were cold: "subordinates understand!"
