The army was winding forward and arrived at Xiushan County in April.

Going further southwest here is Yang Yizhen's rebel forces.

Along the way, I saw the original silence and ease in the quiet and quiet path of the mountain. The camellia is gone forever, but there are many refugees in ragged clothes and pale faces.

Yang Yizhen launched the Bai Barbarian forces, and the army was powerful. It really swept the southwest and destroyed the family and silenced countless people.

Gao Shengtai's armor was bright, and he looked at Fang Ming with unbearable expression, and his heart was even more relaxed: "Brother Chun is indeed the same as before..."

Before leaving, there were naturally several families who were sincerely reminding them and asking for their own wishes, but now it seems that most of the worries are redundant.

The army entered Xiushan City all the way. The people on both sides suffered from war. When they heard the Duan soldiers coming here, they cheered and ate and ate. The atmosphere was extremely warm.

"The Duan family in Dali has been in charge of the country for a hundred years, and it is still useful after all!"

Even though he had powerful ministers stealing the country, his reputation was of great significance and had some effect. In addition, the monarchs of Dali worshipped Buddha for several generations, and they were devout Buddhists and loved the people. They had a very good reputation among the people.

"What a pity! It's just this kind of people..."

Feeling that Fang Ming, who had not made much supplementary to the martial arts order, sighed secretly: "The aura of the people is extremely thin, but it is much weaker than the military aura. After all, in this world, those who hold power still hold power!"

There is no need to see that Xiaomin is happy to him at this time, but after Yang Yizhen causes disaster and destroys more people, today's cheers and admiration will turn into hatred and slander!

Fang Ming has quite experienced the change in the people's hearts.

But on the surface, Fang Ming looked compassionate. Suddenly, he saw a few ragged refugees on the side of the road. He burst into tears and immediately turned over and dismounted and put the bright red cloak on the other party: "Old man... it was Zhengchun's fault, which made you and others suffer..."

The one he was wearing was an old man on the side of the road, his limbs were as skeletons as he was about to become a corpse, not to mention how dirty and stinky his body was.

At this time, the other party slowly turned his head, and the turbid eyes actually shone on the faces that were traversing the gully, which turned into two lines of clear tears.

"Master!"

Ba Tianshi immediately helped the old man up and ordered people to properly place him and give him money, rice and other items.

Seeing this, the onlookers knew that Duan Zhengchun, the commander who went to the expedition, was a kind person. Thanks to him for his sake, everyone cheered.

"Brother..."

Gao Shengtai was still young after all, and was frightened by Fang Ming, and tears were pouring down.

"What are the people?"

Fang Ming's eyes were blood red and his voice was choked: "Yang Zhe was acting violent and affecting innocent people is my fault!"

"You don't have to..." Gao Shengtai wiped his eyes, and was about to persuade Fang Ming to put the overall situation first, but he waved his hand: "You don't have to persuade him anymore. I am going to bring 10,000 logistics soldiers to treat refugees, and finally let them survive..."

"But Yang Yizhen?"

Gao Shengtai was anxious when he heard this and hurriedly said.

"I have decided!" Fang Ming's face was very firm, and then he smiled again: "Brother Tai, what do you think of this Xiushan City?"

Gao Shengtai pondered for a moment and said, "The city is high and the pool is deep, and we are united as one. Even if there is only one hundred thousand troops, it is enough to deal with the Yang thief!"

"Not bad! There are many military tactics, and ten of them surround them. If you want to break the city, you will need at least five times the strength of the troops. I will hand over the remaining army, the Imperial Ground, and most of the Shence, so you will be in charge of Xiushan and block Yang Yizhen. How about it?"

"Twenty thousand troops, me?"

Gao Shengtai looked surprised, but the generals from the Gao family's direct descendants looked at each other, all of whom showed joy.

The most important military merits have been in ancient times!

I have a city on my side, and an army of 20,000, and local miscellaneous soldiers. I can't say that I can break through 30,000 people! If such troops are sufficient and food and grass, if there is no tens of thousands of troops, it will never be able to break through over the years. Even after the opponent's soldiers are exhausted, there will be hope for great destruction!

And Yang Yizhen’s army is only 50,000! As long as you keep it, you will be a great achievement!

Fang Ming doesn’t want such a rare and great achievement?

Not to mention, these 20,000 troops are all elite, and they are the last foundation of the Duan family. If they can control it, it is possible that they will usurp the throne directly in the future!

Therefore, seeing that such an advancement and retreating were extremely beneficial, the generals had long turned their eyes to Gao Shengtai and asked him to agree.

"Brother Chun?"

Gao Shengtai is also a smart person. He always feels that Duan Zhengchun is too kind to him and feels even more guilty.

"No need to do this, let's hand it over as soon as possible!"

Who knows what Fang Ming is thinking?

Gao Shengtai was originally the one who pacified Yang Yizhen and had outstanding military talents. Fang Ming asked him to lead his troops to make the best use of the goods!

But it seems like a trivial matter to gather refugees, but it is actually a great matter!

Yang Yizhen was a member of the White Barbarians. Now he rebelled, and naturally oppressed the Han people in his jurisdiction and even the other Dali tribes, resulting in many fugitives.

These people with nothing are the treasures in Fang Ming’s eyes!

As long as you save them in times of danger, you will be a great kindness. Most of the people who can escape here are strong. As long as you keep up with the nutrition and train more, you will be a strong army!

What's even better is that this army is Fang Ming's real private soldier. He only has King Zhennan and the General of the Protected Kingdom. As for the Duan family, Gao family, Yang family... what is that?

In this way, as long as Fang Ming leads the army again, destroys Yang Yizhen and establishes supreme prestige, his foundation will be solid and he will hold this army in his hands. It will be natural for him to abdicate Emperor Ming to the next step.

But at this moment, who can see so far?

Fang Ming lowered his face and showed a silent smile.

...

Time flies.

September has come in the blink of an eye.

The grass is long and the beards are flying, the grains are abundant, and there is a scene of harvest everywhere.

However, in Dali, the rebellion initiated by Yang Yizhen became more and more intense.

After Xiushan County, there are dangerous obstacles.

I don’t know when a large camp was established here. Every day, refugees kept entering, being given porridge, clothing, and caring for the elderly.

Many refugees who were no longer human-like entered the camp, holding the fragrant white porridge, burst into tears, and kowtowed to Fang Ming's handsome tent.

The refugees who had already rested and recovered their energy were in the second round of selection. All the strong men joined the army, and the training sounds continued in the entire camp.

The young and old were moved to the back camp, doing what they could, and even opened a school, with occasional young reading sounds faintly coming.

In the real military camp, there are three steps, five steps, and warriors with distinctive armor patrol back and forth, with their eyes alert.

There were bursts of crying in the commander's tent:

"Master General! Yang's thief attacked the city more and more urgently. A few days ago, he drove away the refugees. The ants came up and killed the inner city... Although he was eventually repelled, our army suffered heavy casualties and suffered more than a thousand casualties, and even the head of the family was wearing armor and carrying five wounds. I hope the general will support him quickly!"

On the main seat, the face was as deep as water, and the majestic aura on his body was strong. With just a raised eyebrows, the envoy of the Gao family dared not say anything more.

"I know what you said!"

Fang Ming seemed to ponder: "It's a pity that my coach has a heavy business. Fortunately, he has raised some food and grass and can deliver it to his brother immediately. Tell him, please insist on holding on for another five days. After five days, reinforcements will arrive..."

Looking at the back of the Gao family messenger, Fang Ming showed a hint of sneer.

"I just realized that something is wrong now, I must be very unwilling to accept it, right?"

Over the past six months, Yang Yizhen has been sieging the city, and Gao Shengtai has tried his best to resist, and the real foundations on both sides have been polished out.

At least, now, Fang Ming already had a account in his heart.

The generals in Xiushan City are the direct descendants of the Gao family, those who are just marginal and neutral, and those who are all clear about the rest can be won over.

Those from the Gao family never dreamed that Fang Ming was willing to put the elites of the Duan family together with them in Xiushan City!

I was injured fifty today and died one hundred tomorrow. When I encountered a war, I had thousands of casualties. Which one could support me?

Fang Ming was also stuck, and there were relief from food, grass, and weapons from time to time, but there were really not many reinforcements.

After several times, when the autumn comes, the siege and the defender are exhausted.

Just from the fact that Yang Yizhen is in a trend of refugees and ants attacking the city, we can see that he is really anxious and even his family is almost exhausted, so he will do such a crazy thing!

He must be very unwilling to accept it!

Being blocked here, unable to obtain enough supplies, and the attacks are damaged every day, how long can it last?

Little did they know that this would only make other tribesmen more worried and drive more power to their own side.

"It's almost time to end this farce!"

Fang Ming clapped his hands, and several other young men came in one after another, with civil officials and generals, all of whom were extraordinary. Hua Hegen and others were among them, but their attitude was even more respectful.

"Well, Yu Fan...How is our business going on recently?"

Fang Ming looked at the young man with a pretty face, a shrewd look between his eyebrows, wearing finely forged silk and golden copper coin patterns, and asked in a deep voice.

"Thank you, the prince's Hong Fu, the businessman collected another 5,000 tea grate last month and transported it to Tibet, which can be exchanged for 500 high-quality war horses!"

Yu Fan stepped out calmly and reported in a clear voice.

"Yes, this matter is related to the destiny of the country, it is important! You hold my command arrow, and anyone of the officials along the way dares to stop them, and directly transfer the army to kill them!"

Fang Ming's face flashed with a fierce look.

This blood transfusion line is really too important.

He wants to gather refugees and form a large army, all of them need money! But where does this money come from?

After Dali's chaos, the national treasury has long been empty, and there is still some savings. Can Duan Shouhui be assured to hand it over to him?

Therefore, you must make your own way of wealth! This is the most important thing for Fang Ming, who is determined to be independent and has a heart of ninety-five!

Only by grasping military power and financial power will it not be restrained, and it will be the real capital for doing any major things in the future!
