Regarding the conquest of Nanyan, Fang Xie's thoughts have been a little messed up these few days. Fang Xie didn't think it was a very difficult thing when he first told Da Quan that he was going to attack Nanyan. But when I really settled down, I realized that it was not an easy task to take down that tiny place.
Nanyan's terrain is so good, this is the biggest reliance on the survival of this tiny place. In the past, when the Sui Dynasty wanted to attack Nanyan, they had more choices than Fang Jie. It is possible to send troops in Yongzhou, or let the navy go to sea in southern Xinjiang, but Fang Xie can't do it, not to mention that the navy in Fang Xie's hands is not yet large-scale, even if it is large-scale, it will not be able to cross the south of the Yangtze River.
Now there are four big cities in front of Dali City, the two in front are parallel, one is called Qingyuan, and the other is called Fengping. The latter one is called Peicheng, and to the south of Peicheng is Jin'an. Four hundred miles across Jin'an is the city of Dali.
Qingyuan Fengping is an old city with a history of more than 100 years, but the city wall was rebuilt and raised after the founding of Nanyan. As the southern important town of Dashang, these big cities were built extremely solidly. Murong shame stole the crown prince of Dagou. After proclaiming himself emperor in Dali City, in order to prevent the Sui army from continuing to invade the south, he proclaimed himself a vassal of the Sui Dynasty and began to vigorously repair the city.
It has to be said that Murong Shame is a shameless person.
It has to be said that Murong Shame is a remarkable character.
Under such a situation, he could make Nan Yan survive, and he had the courage to jump out and take a bite during the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty. This person is really not a kind person. It's just that his stage is too small. If he is given more space to display, perhaps this person's achievements will be even higher.
Someone once said that every great achievement, half of heaven and man.
Murong shame did a decisive thing at the right time, that's why he has the emperor's life for more than 20 years now. Although Nanyan country is small, although not everyone in Nanyan respects him, the emperor is the emperor after all. Looking at the whole world, ask a man casually, if you have the opportunity to be the emperor, would you refuse? The answer may be surprisingly the same. Even if you ask a woman, I'm afraid you won't get many negatives.
Yongzhou is 1,200 miles away from the nearest Qingyuan City. Although Yongzhou is where the Pingshang Road is located, it is already on the northernmost side of the Pingshang Road. The entire Pingshang Road is in the south of Yongzhou, and Yongzhou enters Yongbei Road more than a hundred miles north of Yongzhou. The Pingshang Road, which was once prosperous and prosperous, now even if the horse gallops for dozens of miles, there is still no sign of people.
Fang Jie temporarily gave up the idea of the firearm camp coming from Suzaku Mountain. First, because of time, the firearm battalion had to be escorted by sailors when it went south. A while ago, a military order was issued to ask Duan Zheng's navy to block the Yellow Niu River, and then transfer the navy to carry the firearms battalion to Yongzhou. The military order is so chaotic that the people below will complain.
Second, the Firearms Battalion is the most important card in Fang Jie's hand now. The Black Banner Qingqi Army is now famous all over the world. It destroyed the Nanyan Army in the First World War and wiped out millions of He people in the First World War. Now Fang Jie's Qingqi Army Cavalry has attracted too many people's attention. When the Qingqi Battalion is no longer a secret weapon, the Firearms Battalion is Fang Xie's trump card when necessary.
"Go and see."
This is Fang Jie's decision.
"I ordered that Liu Xuri lead the Flying Leopard Army to stay in Yongzhou. All the former Yongzhou Army will be merged into the infantry battalion and march out together. Qin Yuan's county barracks will be left to take over the city defense."
Fang Jie pondered for a while and then said: "Let Xiahou Baichuan and Chen Dingnan lead a large team out of the city, go all the way south, and clean up the remnants along the way. I will take people to the outside of Qingyuan City to see the terrain first. This battle must be fought. At home No matter how much you discuss it, it’s better to go and see for yourself.”
Chen Xiaoru quickly sent someone to order.
Fang Jie asked people to pack their bags, took Shen Qingfan and others, a team of more than 200 Xiaoqi School, and Qilin and Nie Xiaoju's personal barracks, a total of more than a thousand people left the city first. It took Xiahou Baichuan and Chen Dingnan two days to catch up with the army.
Sang Sasha followed and set off as always, keeping silent as always.
The cavalry team of more than a thousand people rushed south along the official road, and the dust and smoke from the horseshoes flew into the sky. If you look down from a high place, it looks like a khaki python crawling south along the official road.
For a distance of 1,200 miles, even if you travel lightly, it will take at least ten days to walk. It will take almost a month for the brigade to arrive.
It's far better to look directly at it from the map.
It is imperative to fight Nanyan, so there is no need to hesitate.
Fang Jie was still driving in the carriage, and the white lion was still sleeping soundly in the carriage. Fang Jie was also very helpless towards it, because he knew its lazy temper, so he purposely made the carriage a lot bigger. But the white lion is very clean, and there is never any dust or dirt on its body, which is quite surprising. Leaning on it is also a very comfortable enjoyment.
Chen Xiaoru led about a hundred Xiaoqi School to scout the way in front of the team, and every day he had to check in advance where he camped. Fang Jie leaned on the white lion and looked out the window. The warm and humid wind came in from the window, making people feel itchy on the face and comfortable in the heart.
Looking up, the blue sky is like washing, and the distance is full of greenery.
This kind of weather will always make people feel sunny.
The carriage galloped, staggering.
Fang Xie felt a little tired. He closed his eyes and was about to take a rest when the car door was pulled open from the outside, and then someone came in from the outside. Fang Jie knew who it was without even thinking about it. Besides her, who else could come in so confidently without even saying hello.
…
…
Sang Sasha is still wearing that strange gown, which is almost the same width from top to bottom, without a waist, which is an intolerable thing for women. The robe goes all the way to the ankles, revealing those beautiful jade feet that make people want to hold and play with them, especially the red rope tied around the ankles, which always gives people an irresistible impulse.
Every time Fang Jie took his eyes off Sang Sasha's feet, he had to put in a lot of effort.
Today's Sang Sasha seems to be a little different from the past, her hair is not loose, but simply tied into a ponytail. It's just such a simple change that makes people's eyes shine. This is the case with stunning beauty, and subtle changes can also surprise people. And because of the braids, the outline of her face was particularly clearly exposed.
This is the first time that Fang Xie has seen her face so intuitively. In the past, her hair hanging down would always cover part of her face. But today, she seems to deliberately show her beauty to the fullest. Sang Sasha's skin is very good, but her complexion is not sickly white, but a healthy rosy white.
Just like the white lotus that just bloomed, there is such a touch of pink at the tip of the petals that makes people heart-pounding.
The pure white lotus makes people feel awe that can only be seen from a distance but not played with. But with this touch of pink, it is a desire to make people kiss their fragrance.
She doesn't have any adornments, and she doesn't apply any makeup. This kind of natural beauty is so elegant and refined. It was only after looking carefully and earnestly that Fang Xie discovered the unique beauty of a girl in her. A slightly chubby face with flawless lips in color and contour.
When he sat down next to Fang Jie, a small white lotus-like calf was exposed under the robe. Going down the beautiful arc of the calf, the red rope at the ankle is so bright and eye-catching.
No matter how wide the robe was, the contours of her body's curves were still almost unreservedly outlined when she sat down. Below the slender waist is a circle that gradually enlarges, which is boundless in imagination.
For some reason, Fang Jie felt unnatural today.
He actually blushed, and then deliberately stepped aside.
Sang Sasha's face was also slightly red. She leaned on the white lion, lowered her head, and looked at her feet in a daze. The white lion opened his eyes and glanced at her, rubbed his huge head against her back, then closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
The two of them just got along in silence without any conversation. Time seems to stand still, and it seems to pass quickly. A gust of wind blew down the hooked curtains, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became more ambiguous and charming. In the closed carriage, there is a girl's unique body fragrance within easy reach, which continuously penetrates into Fang Jie's nose, and then penetrates into his brain, making him a little drunk.
…
…
"Reading again?"
I don't know how long it took, but she was the first to speak.
Fang Jie's gaze was on the book in his hand, but he didn't read a word at all. Perhaps because he felt that this was a little weak, he simply put the book aside, turned to look at Sang Sasha and smiled: "I'm bored on the road, so I can only read books."
"Um."
Sang Sasha hummed, and the syllable from his nose was like a feather falling from the sky, landing on Fang Jie's heart and scratching him hard. Sometimes the sounds of nature do not require complicated melodies, but a simple syllable can make people dizzy.
Fang Jie felt that he was in a strange state today, so he took a deep breath and wanted to struggle out of this somewhat inexplicable state, but it was this deep breath, the refreshing body fragrance He got in all at once, messing up his thoughts.
Sang Sasha also seemed a little unnatural. She wanted to find something else to say, but she couldn't find it. She looked to the side, and then saw the wine bag beside Fang Jie.
Then she reached for the wine sac, uncorked it and took a sip.
As a result, the peach blossoms on her face became more colorful.
"Drinking on an empty stomach will make you uncomfortable."
Fang Jie reached for the wine bag, and poured her a cup of tea. The hands holding the knife trembled slightly when holding the teapot.
"Today is the day to have a drink..."
Sang Sasha murmured, but she didn't have the intention to reject Fang Jie. She took the teacup and looked at the few intact shoots in the cup in a daze. Fang Jie couldn't find anything to say, he seemed to feel this way every time he was alone with Sang Sasha. Some cramped, some overwhelmed.
So Fang Jie would try his best to avoid Sang Sasha in normal times, and when he saw her, something that stirred his heart would jump out to make trouble.
After a while, Fang Jie suddenly thought of Sang Sasha's words, and then he asked, "Why is today the day when we should have a drink?"
Sang Sasha shook her head slowly, but didn't answer right away. Her drooping eyelids are so beautiful, and the curved arc of her long eyelashes outlines a natural beauty. The small and delicate nose under the eyes is slightly wrinkled, with two extremely cute folds.
There was only a slit in her lips, and breath flowed.
"When I was in Wudao Mountain, my father would be very happy on this day every year. No matter how troublesome he was, he would forget it, even if he pretended to forget it. My mother would start preparing from early in the morning and make a mouth-watering table. Then my father will sit cross-legged on the kang and drink two glasses of homemade rice wine. The wine is harmless and slightly sweet, and then my father will sing a song for me with a very happy look.”
She seemed to be stuck in memory, a little unable to extricate herself.
"Because of this, I especially like this day. My father and mother will put aside everything and concentrate on being with me. No matter what I want to do, no matter how I act like a baby, they will rely on me and love me. Later, after leaving Enlightenment Mountain, the last thing I can’t live through is today every year... "
"So every year on this day, I drink until I lose consciousness."
She lowered her head and spoke with her eyelids lowered.
Fang Xie suddenly remembered that he had caught that werewolf in the Qingxia of Langru Mountain. He had mentioned that Sang Sasa, the master of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, lay down on the table after drinking too much, talking nonsense. Thinking of these, Fang Xie felt a pain in his heart, not heartache, but heartache. What kind of loneliness and fear was that that made her choose to get drunk on this day
"Happy birthday."
Fang Jie stretched out his hand subconsciously, and gently touched her cheek.
