Chapter 553 Dongyi (Thanks to Book Friend 37028 for the Reward!)

"This is the strength of ordinary people?"

In the dense forest, the sword is like a frightening bird, and people are like swimming dragons.

Fang Yuan picked a few points casually, and several blood sprays flew up, but none of them splashed on him.

Although Meng Kuo didn't notice such a change, he still felt that this warrior was truly capable and capable.

puff!

Fang Yuan withdrew the long sword from the throat of the last Dongyi man standing, avoiding the splash of blood: "It's not different from Xia Shi, but it has more skills!"

He wiped the long sword on the clothes of the corpse, and walked away.

"Strong man! Wait a minute, this strong man!"

Meng Kuo jumped up excitedly.

"What? Do you have something to say?"

Fang Yuan stared at Meng Kuo with a half-smile, the iron sword in his hand seemed to have a dark edge.

Meng Kuo folded his hands in front of his chest, turned his palms inward, and bowed deeply: "I am very grateful for being rescued by this strong man, and please leave a name!"

"Me? It's called Jie!"

Fang Yuan smiled: "You don't have to repay me for saving my life, this sword will be your reward!"

Even while talking, he kept walking.

"Wait a minute!"

Meng Kuo caught up with big strides, one step behind Fang Yuan: "Where is the strong man going? That's not the direction of our Dashang barracks..."

"Who said I'm going back to the barracks?"

Fang Yuan replied casually: "This expedition has been defeated, of course we have to go back first!"

"Our army is undefeated!"

Unexpectedly, when he heard this, Meng Kuo almost jumped up and said loudly: "This time, our army on the southern expedition has hundreds of chariots. What is a small mistake?"

He looked at Fang Yuan, with undisguised enthusiasm in his eyes: "Jie! You have the ability to kill lions and tigers, why do you want to leave? This is a good opportunity to make contributions! Are you unwilling to be an ordinary soldier? I I can recommend you! As long as you make meritorious deeds, you will definitely be named a noble family, and you will not be replaced by hereditary."

"..."

Fang Yuan was speechless.

If he was still the Jie from before, it would be a lifelong pursuit to be enshrined as a nobleman.

In this scene, if you change it, the free people in the West suddenly have the opportunity to become a knight lord, or the wild samurai in ancient Japan. Enough to make anyone scratch their heads.

But in Fang Yuan's view, it's nothing more than a chicken and a dog.

"A certain family said that they don't want to fight any more, haven't you heard clearly?"

He paused, with a cold look on his face.

Meng Kuo's heart trembled suddenly, and he felt that if he said a little more nonsense, the younger brother's Duyu sword would stab into his chest, and his whole body became stiff.

"Okay...Since the strong man insists on doing this, Kuo won't keep him..."

Meng Kuo's face was full of regret.

Fang Yuan cast a look of "you are acquainted", and asked casually: "Do you know where Fangshan is? Which tribe is occupying it now?"

"Fang Shan?"

Meng Kuo was startled, and immediately the expression on his face became strange: "You don't know?"

"Why should I know?"

Fang Yuan asked suspiciously, this body has low knowledge, it is good to have a general understanding of the world, how can it be possible to know the life and death of a certain tribe?

"This Fangshan is the old capital of my great merchant!"

Meng Kuo murmured: "Back then, the mysterious bird of destiny descended to give birth to Shang. There was a goddess who obtained God's will and gave birth to a son, Qi, who was honored as the lord of the tribe. Later, Tang, Qi's descendant, led the people of the great merchants to compete in the Central Plains and defeated the last Xia dynasty. Four hundred years ago, the Shang Dynasty moved its capital to Shangyi, but the status of Fangshan is still very respected. It is the place where witch doctors and priests practiced. The tombs of the previous kings are also there. at..."

As he was talking, he suddenly realized that although this Jie was very brave, he was only dressed like an ordinary Chinese. It was already very remarkable that he could know the surroundings for more than ten miles.

"The mysterious bird of destiny descended to give birth to Shang?"

Little did he know his words, to Fang Yuan's ears, were like thunder one after another, exploding in his ears one after another.

"Also... My Fangshan is the origin of Shang? So, this Shang Dynasty was actually created by me?"

Fang Yuan's face was a little embarrassed: "I am the ancestor of Shang? Well...even in name, there is a subtle feeling..."

I don't know why, but when he heard the myth of the mysterious bird of destiny descending to give birth to Shang, he thought of a certain reckless girl, maybe there is some connection between the two?

It's a pity that after five hundred years, the beauty withered away, the former girl may have already been turned into a handful of loess by this time.

"Me... you?"

Meng Kuo looked at Fang Yuan's face with suspicion.

"I don't know how the progress of the conquest of Dongyi is going?"

Fang Yuan came back to his senses, but asked about other aspects.

"This..."

Meng Kuo smiled wryly: "What else can I do? Although it's a small setback, it's not a big problem."

He was filled with the self-confidence of a great country and a kingdom of heaven. After all, in the eyes of the civilization of this era, the so-called 'Dongyi' were just a group of stubborn monkeys, barbarians!

How could it be possible to have a big defeat with the power of the Shang Dynasty? At most, the war is stalemate.

Even "Dongyi" was a nickname given by the princes. In this piece of land, there are many barbarian tribes, and they don't even belong to each other. They are simply called Dongyi.

Therefore, the battle of punishment in the Shang Dynasty was just to capture a mountain today, behead dozens tomorrow, and destroy a small tribe the day after tomorrow, that's all.

Even if they are successfully mopped up and the troops return to the court, it won't be long before these savages who hid in the deep mountains will come out again, domineering and endangering one side.

"Although there is a small setback this time, when our army overwhelms the border, we will be able to win the battle, and then we will be able to return to the imperial court!"

Meng Kuo also had a contradictory look on his face.

It is an instinctive pursuit for a man to make contributions, but the harsh environment here in Dongyi, coupled with the death of a younger brother, also made him want to return.

It's just that even if Dongyi is flattened, it will be repeated in a few years. This is the price of becoming the co-lord of the world!

The rise of the Siyi is a challenge to the central royal power. Even if it mobilizes troops and mobilizes the people, it must respond and suppress it severely!

Fang Yuan listened carefully, a sneer appeared on his face.

'Although I know that Da Shang is doing this only to maintain authority and border security, but every time I fight a battle that is not profitable, even if I win, it will be a big loss to morale. At this time, Dongyi is simply a quagmire, dragging Da Shang While the mud feet are sinking deep, blood is being let out continuously. In this way, public grievances are bound to arise! '

'When the people complain, it will give the princes of the four directions an opportunity to take advantage of it, and no matter how powerful the big merchant army is, it will vent all its energy in the back and forth separatist regime with Dongyi. By smashing the Yellow Dragon, the army of the Shang Dynasty will surely be forced to return to aid. With the new army, the elite of the Shang Dynasty will be wiped out in one go, and the country will be destroyed not far away. '

There is nothing new under the sun.

When encountering such a situation, Fang Yuan only thought about it for a while and deduced a general idea.

What's more, the other party used Yangmou, the jumping up and down of the Dongyi people, and the great feat of the king of Shang, as long as they met, they would definitely step in and never get out.

"Let's go!"

Fang Yuan turned around and patted Meng Kuo on the shoulder.

"Where are you going?"

Meng Kuo looked blank.

"Of course it's the camp of the merchant army!" Fang Yuan said as a matter of course: "For the sake of your sincerity, I will reluctantly help you and solve Dongyi this time."

"Thank you, strong man!"

Meng Kuo was overjoyed, the two walked side by side, quickly left the dense forest, and after another trek, they came to a military camp.

"It's Meng Kuo!"

"It's all right!"

"Open the door quickly!"

Obviously, the popularity of this Meng Kuo was much higher than Fang Yuan had imagined, as soon as he appeared, cheers came from the barracks.

"Really?"

From the barracks, several people ran out, all with concerned expressions on their faces: "Meng Kuo, it's a good thing that you came back safe and sound!"

"At that time, the rebellious soldiers rushed into the battle, and I had no choice but to hide in the mountains and forests. Fortunately, I had this strong man to rescue me!"

Meng Kuo evaded a few words, and introduced Fang Yuan to the next few people: "This strong man has killed more than ten enemies, and he has the courage of a hundred men! I invite him to come and meet Fang Bo together!"

At this time, Fangbo means the highest military officer.

"Improper bravery for a hundred men? Kill ten people with force?"

Suspicious eyes fell on Fang Yuan, and soon turned to admiration: "Since what Kuo Zhi said, it must be true. We have won this warrior, so why worry about Dongyi not being defeated?"

After Meng Kuo entered the barracks, his expression became solemn, serious, and he glanced at Fang Yuan with some worry, obviously afraid that he would run amok and offend other nobles.

But since Fang Yuan changed his mind and came to the barracks, he naturally calmed down, and he was polite and courteous in his dealings with others, without any violation of the rules, which made Meng Kuo amazed.

"You rest for a while, I will report to Fang Bo, and I will ask for credit for you by the way!"

Meng Kuo took Fang Yuan to his own tent, then summoned the slaves, ordered them to treat Fang Yuan well, and left in a hurry.

"Please use it, my lord!"

After Fang Yuan was seated, a slave immediately stepped forward to arrange drinks and food for him.

The wine is served in a bronze jug, with a simple charm, and the dishes are boiled minced meat, as well as various stewed, roasted and cooked things. The variety is also very rich. Much better.

'This Mongolian identity may be a little higher than I imagined...'

Fang Yuan didn't care about anything else, just drank heavily and ate meat, enjoying himself.

He occasionally asked the people around him a few words, those concubines who were serving were hindered by Meng Kuo, they dared not hide anything, they answered every question he had, which enabled him to learn a lot of information.

For example, only a partial division of the Shang Dynasty was stationed here, with about 5,000 people.

The army of the Shang Dynasty was formed by conscripting citizens, divided into ranks, led by Fang Bo, and assisted by various scholars. At this level, it is only a trial and punishment for Dongyi. Before that, they had won consecutive battles and won a small setback until today.
