Negotiation is only possible if you have strength. Faced with tens of thousands of troops who seemed to have higher morale than his own, Fang Xifu listened to Yang Xiao's request and decisively opened the waterway, allowing the Jiangzuo Alliance's navy to enter and leave the Taihu Waterway.
Because of the tacit understanding between the upper echelons of both sides, the bandits realized that the Jiangzuo Alliance army was not easy to mess with, so they did not dare to cause trouble. They did not even dare to get closer, and could only monitor from a distance.
The Jiangzuo League started the mammoth relocation without anyone noticing, and the navy of the Jiangzuo League appeared in front of everyone for the first time. The endless fleet simply blinded the rebels.
After more than ten days of this process, tens of thousands of people were moved to several islands in the East China Sea. After waiting for a while, they avoided the eyes and ears of all parties, and then went south to seize several Ryukyu cities as foundations.
On this day, Fang Xifu suddenly left Suzhou City and came to the military camp of the Jiangzuo Alliance in Suzhou Pier. Seeing the orderly appearance of the troops in the camp, his desire to win over became even stronger.
When he heard that he was coming, Yang Xiao didn't dare to neglect him. He quickly asked Wang Yue for instructions, and then he and Wang Yue went over to greet him.
When he arrived outside the camp, Yang Xiao was very warm, but what he said was very unsatisfactory, "Why does Commander Fang have time to come to our place? Is the war on the northern front not going well?"
Fang Xifu did not answer Yang Xiao's question, but looked intently at the endless stream of warships on the river, frowned and asked, "With the strength of the navy of the Jiangzuo Alliance, if they cooperate with us, do they want to
It’s not a problem to capture Jiangning, so why do you want to go overseas?”
Yang Xiao had long known that Fang Xifo would ask this question, so he said nonchalantly. "The Northern Women defeated the Liao Kingdom. After destroying the Liao Kingdom, they will go south to attack the Wu Dynasty. We don't want to cause chaos to the Wu Dynasty at this time, or
Let the Wu Dynasty concentrate on fighting against the Jin Kingdom."
Fang Xifu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He understood what Yang Xiao meant, which was that their rebel army was revolting at this time. It was simply dragging the Wu Dynasty back and they were in the same group as the Jin Kingdom.
He couldn't continue to ask this question. After all, this was Fang La's decision. He quickly changed the topic and said enthusiastically, "The Holy Duke has arrived in Lin'an and will be enthroned as emperor soon. Why don't you go with me, Leader Yang?"
Come to Lin'an to witness the grand events of the Yongle Dynasty?"
Yang Xiao admired his lord so much now that he had no idea what to do, even if Fang Xifu would invite him to Lin'an.
He thought that Wang Yue asked him not to agree directly, so he shook his head decisively, and said stubbornly, "Don't even think about dragging me on board the pirate ship. Our Jiangzuo Alliance is not willing to participate in your affairs."
Fang Xifu also knew that Yang Xiao would refuse, so he deliberately said, "But the fact that your Jiangzuo Alliance occupied Suzhou has already been spread. You are now a part of the rebel army. If you want to withdraw, it may be too late."
After hearing what Fang Xifo said, Yang Xiao said nonchalantly, "Whatever, we went overseas anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can do anything to us? Do you expect the navy of the Wu Dynasty? That's simply...
joke!"
Fang Xifu knew that it would not be easy to persuade Yang Xiao, so he continued to say, "Looking at you dragging your family and family overseas, there must be a shortage of manpower. How about this, let's go to Lin'an together, and I will convince the Holy Palace to move the area under the jurisdiction of the rebels."
I'll give those refugees to you, you just need to spend money to buy them."
Yang Xiao didn't expect Fang Xifu to take the initiative to bring up this matter. He pretended to hesitate for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
Seeing that Yang Xiao agreed, Fang Xifo continued to say, "In this case, we have agreed to leave in three days."
Yang Xiao pretended to think hard about what to do for a while, and then said tangledly, "I'll discuss it with my subordinates."
Fang Xifu quickly complimented and said, "The affairs of the Jiangzuo Alliance are still a matter of a word from Alliance Leader Yang!"
After he finished speaking, he left decisively without giving Yang Xiao a chance to explain, as if he was afraid that Yang Xiao would regret it.
After three days of this, the guards in Taihu Lake, along with some reliable water bandits and the family members of the Jiangzuo Alliance army, all went to sea and arrived at the transit islands.
Wang Yue only left 5,000 naval troops and 3,000 guards in his hands, plus the water bandits he had just won over, forming a force of more than 20,000 men.
There are more than 2,000 guards and more than 10,000 water bandits in Taihu Lake. They stay there to look after the house.
Su Tan'er, Nie Yunzhu, and Yuan Jin'er had already taken advantage of the time to move their families and followed them out of Taihu Lake to the East China Sea.
With no worries, Wang Yue and Yang Xiao followed Fang Xifu to Lin'an with 20,000 soldiers and horses.
At this moment, Lin'an no longer has the prosperity of the past, and there are traces of burning, killing and looting everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yue couldn't help but frowned. Is this still a rebel army? It's more hateful than he imagined!
I happened to see a group of rebels at this moment, escorting a group of trembling but luxuriously dressed people.
When Wang Yue listened to the scolding sounds of the bandits, he knew that the bandits were preparing to force these wealthy households to cooperate. He shook his head helplessly, could bandits like this last long?
Fang Xifu thought of the situation in Suzhou City and knew that it was wrong to do so. Seeing that it was the henchmen of the Shenggong Duke who led the team, he guessed that he wanted to kill people to establish his authority, so he quickly stepped forward and said categorically, "
Stop, wait until I meet with the Holy Duke before I decide how to deal with these people!"
Fang Xifo was the right-hand man of the Holy Duke, and the leader did not dare to argue with his words, so he could only obey the order and wait there.
Seeing that the matter here had been taken care of, Fang Xifo arranged Wang Yue, Yang Xiao and his party in a courtyard, and hurriedly went to meet the Holy Duke.
After Fang Xifo left, Yang Xiao said with some worry, "Master, why did you leave the troops outside the city? What about your safety?"
Wang Yue waved his hand. He has been attracting people's internal energy for more than a year. His martial arts is no longer what it used to be. He said nonchalantly, "There are few of us. It's easy to escape. If you come in, they will close the city gate."
Son, how difficult it is for us to leave."
When Yang Xiao heard what Wang Yue said, he thought it made sense, so he quickly arranged for more than a hundred guards he brought to be on guard, and he started checking in the courtyard himself.
Not long after, someone came to Yang Xiao and said that he was summoned by the Holy Duke.
Yang Xiao did not hesitate, and followed Wang Yue's instructions and left with most of the guards.
After a long time, Yang Xiao came back. He said very depressedly, "This Shenggong is so petty. He has been writing about the matter of buying and selling people for so long. He is so ignorant. Fortunately, we have settled the matter. Wait.
When Yang Yao and the others come back, they can send another group of people over."
Wang Yue nodded. He already knew that the other party would agree, so he asked with a smile, "This Fang Xifo arranged for us to live next to the Overbearing Camp. Is this because he is worried about us or is he worried that we will run away?"
Yang Xiao didn't know that Wang Yue had already inquired about it clearly. He had also heard about the Ba Dao Camp in the rebel army. They were the people who followed the Holy Palace in the uprising. They were considered to be the close followers of the Holy Duke.
He frowned and said with some embarrassment, "Lord, why don't you go back to live in the army outside the city. If there are Ba Dao camp around, I will always feel a little worried about you here."
While the two were chatting, the guard at the door suddenly ran in and said, "My lord, leader of the alliance, Liu Xigua and Chen Fan of the Ba Dao camp would like to see you."
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and said to Yang Xiao with a smile, "Don't worry about me. I want to leave and no one can stop me. Let's think about how to deal with these two visitors."
When Yang Xiao heard what Wang Yue said, he no longer forced himself and immediately invited the two of them in.
After the group of people exchanged pleasantries, Yang Xiao asked directly, "I wonder what's going on when you two come to my place?"
The woman opened her mouth to say a few elegant words to each other, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of anything, and her face turned red.
She was really impatient, so she said simply, "That's right. I heard that your Jiang Zuo Alliance is doing a great job in punishing rape and eradicating evil in Suzhou City. It's really satisfying. I, Liu Xigua, admire people like you the most.
, I just want to gain experience.”
Yang Xiao was speechless. He felt that this man's excuse was too bad, so he said decisively, "That is what our Jiangzuo Alliance should do. Isn't Commander Liu prepared to follow suit?"
Liu Xigua nodded, then shook his head, and said helplessly, "The key is that it doesn't matter what I say."
Yang Fan was with Liu Xigua. He waited for Liu Xigua to finish and then continued, "But if my master goes to Shenggong to talk about it, maybe it can be implemented."
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He came all the way from Suzhou and found that what the rebels did was not worthy of the word "righteousness" at all. The people were suffering more than they imagined.
I thought that if the rebels could be persuaded to implement the strategy they implemented in Suzhou, it would be a great joy for the people in the areas occupied by the rebels.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Wang Yue and found that Wang Yue nodded. He quickly said, "This is a simple matter. As long as you are ready to implement it, I will ask my subordinates who have done this to give you some experience."
, what do you think?"
Yang Xiao's words made Liu Xigua and Chen Fan very happy, and Liu Xigua even said enthusiastically, "Leader Yang, why don't you just work with us? I think our Yongle army will become better with you here."
Yang Xiao didn't expect that Liu Xigua would be sent as a lobbyist, so he said displeasedly, "Don't bring this up again. We don't agree with each other."
Liu Xigua was a little confused. She didn't know which sentence was wrong and made the other party angry. She thought about Yang Xiao's words and asked with some confusion, "Why is it different? Aren't we all rebels?"
Wang Yue cooperated with the acting, and now it was his turn to speak, so he pretended to be very serious and said, "Our leader is a person who cares about the world. He knows who is good to the people and who is not good to the people."
Liu Xigua felt a little ashamed when she thought about the style of the rebels. She said with a sneer, "That's why I'm asking for your help. Our Overbearing Battalion is responsible for military discipline, but Chen Fan and I are both reckless men and don't know how to make it happen."
Those people dare not violate discipline and hope that Alliance Leader Yang will help."
Wang Yue waved his hand and said seriously, "This is still a small matter. You should know that not long ago, the Wu Dynasty's 100,000-strong army attacked the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom only sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to stop it. The remaining soldiers and horses were with the Jin Kingdom.
Even so, the Wu Dynasty was defeated and returned. You must know that the Liao Kingdom lost two capitals in a row against the Jin Kingdom, and then fled to the west to stabilize the situation. Do you think that if the Jin Kingdom attacked the Wu Dynasty?
What kind of situation will the country be like?”
Liu Badao counted the numbers with his fingers and muttered, "Wu Guo can't defeat Liao Guo, and Liao Guo can't defeat Jin Guo. It's just that Wu Guo can't do it. Isn't this just suitable for us to gain momentum? We can also deal with it."
What a mess."
Wang Yue looked at this reckless man and reminded helplessly, "What you are doing now is equivalent to helping the aliens harm the people of the Central Plains. Do you think Leader Yang will do it with you?"
Liu Xigua's expression changed after hearing Wang Yue's words. This was tantamount to pointing her nose and scolding her. She said angrily, "We revolted for the sake of the people. How can you say that to us?"
Wang Yue saw Liu Xigua being so angry, which meant that this woman could still be saved like on TV, so he took the opportunity to continue, "You know it for the sake of the people? Look at how many people were displaced after your uprising. How can you continue?
Think about it, if because of your delay, the Kingdom of Jin takes the opportunity to move south in a big way, will we, the Central Plains, be faced with the situation of the Five Husbands messing with China again?"
Liu Xigua was indeed a little ashamed when she heard the first words, but after hearing what Wang Yue said later, she said in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Wang Yue opened his mouth. He found it uncomfortable to chat with an illiterate, but thinking that if he could persuade Liu Xigua, his immigration plan might go more smoothly, so he could only bite the bullet and patiently talk about what happened at that time.
history.
When he heard that the people of the Central Plains were being cooked and eaten, Liu Xigua slapped the table angrily. Because he was so excited and could not control his internal strength, the table was suddenly slapped in half.
Regardless of whether it was Wang Yue, Yang Xiao or Chen Fan, they were all skilled in martial arts. When they saw this scene, they quickly retreated far away so that they were not affected by the debris.
Liu Xigua also knew that she had made a mistake, so she said with some embarrassment, "It's so abominable! I thought that no matter who became the emperor, he would treat the people better when he founded the country. How can he be like this?"
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, this girl also knew that most of the founding kings would be kind to the people. This is very good!
So, he continued to say, "Most of the kings in the Central Plains believe in the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, so after they get the throne, they have to show off their hearts to win people's hearts in order to stabilize the situation. But the foreigners in the north are different. They are originally horses.
Having conquered the world on his back, he believes more in the sword in his hand and is more willing to kill people to establish his authority."
Wang Yue spent a long time talking, and finally made Liu Xigua feel depressed, and the atmosphere became dull for a while.
After a while, she stood up and said angrily, "I'm going to find the Holy Duke right away. But now it's too late to say no, but we must be nicer to the people no matter what."
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. On TV, Liu Xigua was the goddaughter of Liu Tianlei from the Holy Palace. If Liu Xigua told her, it might actually be useful.
But when I thought about the TV show that Liu Tianlei was also ordered by the northern aliens behind the Grand Master, I thought there must be people from the northern aliens around Liu Tianlei. But I don’t know if Fang La is the same after the magic reform.
He was a little worried that when Liu Xigua went up again, he would be targeted by the people behind the scenes, so he quickly said consolingly, "I think it's useless for you to say it. After all, the stall is so big, and it's impossible for him to rectify military discipline at this time.
So you might as well help us transfer the population so that the people in the areas occupied by Yongle's army will suffer less."
When Liu Xigua heard what Wang Yue said, he was very unconvinced and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll ask Chen Fan to assist you in transferring the people. I have to go to the palace."
Seeing that the girl did not listen to the advice, Wang Yue was also afraid that something would happen to Liu Xigua, so he quickly persuaded her, "Our fleet from the south has not returned yet, and there is no way to transport people for the time being, so this matter is not urgent, let Chen
Brother Fan, go with you."
Chen Fan was originally worried about Liu Xigua's safety, so when he heard this, he quickly said, "Let's go together. When we get back, we will gather our brothers to discuss whether we should send them away."
Liu Xigua's eyes widened when she heard Chen Fan's words. She said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean? You are preparing to escape before the Wu Dynasty army attacks?"
Chen Fan was raised by Fang Xifu. Although he didn't like reading, he did understand some principles. After listening to Wang Yue's talk for a long time, he vaguely felt that maybe the Holy Palace was instigated by others, so he rebelled at this time.
of.
You know, their original plan was to wait for the Wu Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty to be inextricable before deciding whether to revolt, but I don't know why Shenggong suddenly changed his mind. There is a big problem here.
