Chapter 597 You can beat me

Another winter came, and Fang Jie's Black Flag Army occupied most of the Huangyang Road except Xinyang City and Xinkoucang under a very strange situation, and the troops had begun to point to the three southwest roads. The northwest government troops were defeated and almost died. Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu led their troops to go down the river by boat, and then attacked from Hedong Road into northern Shaanxi Road, not far from the important areas of the capital.

King Yong Luo Yao led a million troops across the Yangtze River. He was blocked by Liu Enjing, a general sent by the court, in Huohu City. He fought fiercely every day. The court knew that the defense line of Huohu City was in danger as soon as it broke through Jingji Road, so the battle was particularly fierce.

Pang Ba, Jiangnan, led his army of 300,000 to cross the river and head north, and stationed forty miles northeast of Luo Yao's army to watch the tiger fight.

...

...

"Report!"

Chen Xiaoru quickly walked into the conference hall, and the other party unwrapping his chest and clasped his fists and said anxiously: "There is important news from the north. It is a secret spy who was demolished in Jiangbei Road. He found a way to join Liu Enjing's army and then risked his life to send it out."

"What's up?"

Fang Jie asked quickly.

Chen Xiaoru took a breath and said, "The prince has ascended the throne in Chang'an City and promoted himself to Emperor Xinghuang. He mobilized 100,000 troops from Jingji Province. Each acropolis drew 100,000 troops and recruited civil warriors. General Liu Enjing was the marshal of the marshal. He led a total of more than 400,000 troops to block Luo Yao's troops in Huohu City."

"Has the prince been elected as emperor?"

Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, his face changed: "We who stayed in the northwest sent back news. The army led by the emperor was defeated by Gao Kaitai. Almost all tens of thousands of people were killed in battle, but the emperor was not in the army at all. I speculated that the emperor secretly left and rushed back to Chang'an City under the protection of Zhang Zhenren and masters in Wudang. But he didn't expect that the people in the capital could not wait for him to go back, and he had already supported the prince to ascend the throne..."

"The General guessed right."

Chen Xiaorudao: "Our people sent back news that the emperor and his party had revealed their whereabouts in Firefox City and were besieged by several great practitioners of unknown origin. Zhang Zhenren killed all the assassins alone and rushed back to Chang'an City. On the way, he met the imperial army led by Liu Enjing. The emperor stayed in Liu Enjing's tent for two hours and then went north again. Su Buwei accompanied him, but Zhang Zhenren stayed."

"Zhang Zhenren stayed in Liu Enjing's army?"

Fang Jie frowned slightly, then nodded: "Yes, Liu Enjing's 400,000 army is the last line of defense south of Gyeonggi Province. If this line of defense is breached by Luo Yao, Luo Yao will be able to lead his army straight into Gyeonggi Province. Luo Yao does not aim to capture the city and territories, but has been going to Chang'an City so he marched quickly. Liu Enjing led his troops first-rate, but there was no great cultivator around him to protect him. If Luo Yao killed Liu Enjing in anger, no one in the court's army would be defeated..."

Wu Yidao's face was also particularly serious: "But... the emperor had never thought that the prince had ascended the throne, could he still go back to Chang'an? How could those who supported the prince let the living emperor go back again? In other words, the marshal who met was Liu Enjing, who was loyal to the emperor. If it were someone else, it would be impossible to guarantee that he would not do anything out of order."

Fang Jie sighed and said, "Yes... the prince has ascended the throne and has already held a great funeral for the emperor. But now the emperor suddenly returns. Everyone in the court who supports the prince must be in danger. Especially when they all know that the emperor is already in his life, they become more ruthless and more afraid. In the northwest emperor can kill hundreds of court officials in one breath, and after returning to Chang'an City, these court officials are also afraid that the emperor will kill again."

"And Su Buwei."

Wu Yidao pondered for a while and said, "Su Buwei's cultivation is not bad. It should be nothing big with him to protect the emperor, but the emperor will definitely not go smoothly when he returns to Chang'an City. No one can say that someone will obstruct them in secret. Moreover, there is an old dean in the city, so those people can only do it outside the city."

Chen Xiaorudao: "Liu Enjing sent a thousand cavalry to escort the emperor, so it should be nothing."

“It doesn’t matter”

Luo Weiran said: "Even if the emperor returns to Chang'an City, he will not bring the throne back. When he goes back to see the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely not show up openly. Most of the ten are planning some things for the prince in secret. What we are concerned about now is the movements of Jiangbeidao."

"right"

Wu Yidao nodded: "The emperor kept Zhang Zhenren in Liu Enjing's army. Will Luo Yao fight with Zhang Zhenren in order to go north?"

Fang Jie shook his head: "If... if Luo Yao was rushing to attack Chang'an City because there were people or things in the city that he was afraid of, he would not fight with Zhenren Zhang. He would retain his strength to deal with the affairs in Chang'an City. After all, the old dean has not yet walked out of Chang'an. With the old dean, and the threat that he didn't know what it was, Luo Yao would not spend his cultivation in Firefox City to fight to the death with Zhenren Zhang."

"It makes sense, so as long as Luo Yao is not moved, Zhang Zhenren will definitely not take the initiative to find Luo Yao."

Luo Weiran said: "This battle is over between the army, and no great practitioner dares to join in without authorization."

"Now let's just watch."

Wu Yidao thought for a while: "Will the emperor be in a hurry to go back to Chang'an City and Luo Yao be in a hurry to attack Chang'an City because of the same thing?"

No one knows the answer.

"Anyway, it's a good time for us."

Fang Jie looked at the map and said, "The Cavalry School, who were inquiring about the news from the southwest, has sent back secret letters one after another. Before Luo Yao led his troops to attack Jiangnan, he left more than 100,000 elite troops in the southwest to guard. Just before we arrived at Huangyang Road, he sent people to transfer half of the remaining troops. Now there are only about 30,000 people in Yongzhou City, and the other troops combined are less than 200,000, and most of them are county soldiers that Luo Yao looked down upon."

"Now he is fighting Liu Enjing in Firefox City, while Pang Ba is thinking about sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight. On the contrary, our place is the most stable and the southwest is the most empty."

Wu Yidao smiled: "It's time to let them go to Chang'an, let's go to the southwest."

"Beat the drum to raise the tent!"

Fang Jie turned around and ordered his personal soldiers and said, "Let the generals of each army come to the conference hall, I want to arrange military affairs!"

...

...

Fang Jie pointed to the map and said to the generals standing in the hall: "Beihui Road is a neighbor of Huangyang Road. The people from the Xiaoqi School have reported the news they have found out. Now Luo Yao is in duel with the imperial army in Jiangbei Road, Pang Ba is watching from one side and waiting for an opportunity to move. Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu are fighting against the northern Shaanxi Road, and they are all heading for Gyeonggi Road, but our goals are different!"

Fang Jie cleared his throat and said, "Cui Zhongzhen and Chen Duanshan lead troops to separate Xinyang City and Xinkoucang. Xinyang City Tian Xin dare not come out easily. His men and horses guarding the city are not enough to fight, so there is no need to worry too much. I have sent someone to inform Chen Duanshan and Cui Zhongzhen and let them act on cameras. If Tian Xin doesn't come out, then ignore it and fight back when he comes out. With them two restraining the people in Xinyang City, we will not have any worries on the way out when we go south."

"I call you all here today to tell you that I have decided to launch troops against Beihui Road."

"General! We can't wait!"

Someone below laughed and said, "For the past few months, they have been fighting for some incompetent timids. The victory was decided as soon as the army was launched, which was really meaningless. The people below were also looking forward to it, hoping that the general would order a few tough battles. Now most of the Huangyang Dao has been taken down by us, and Beihui Dao is within reach. If you don't fight, everyone will feel unhappy!"

Fang Jie smiled and waved his hand, "It is necessary to hit, but don't be arrogant."

He pointed to the map and said, "The most important place adjacent to Beihui Road and Huangyang Road is Liangcheng, Hui'an and Wuxing. These three cities are in a row and support each other. The Governor of Beihui Road Zhong Xin arranged tens of thousands of county soldiers in these three cities, obviously because we were afraid that our Black Flag Army would go south. I originally planned to wait until the infantry was almost trained before we could move troops, but the fighter should not be delayed. If Luo Yao wins on Jiangbei Road, we have no worries. If Luo Yao is defeated, it will not be easy for us to fight the three southwest roads."

"So you must be careful and not be reckless in advancing this time."

Fang Jie packed up and said solemnly: "The infantry are all new soldiers. The longest training time is less than a year. Most of them have only been trained for half a year. Most of them have not been stained with blood in their hands and have never seen corpses flowing blood all over the ground. So what I worry most is that the hearts of the new soldiers are not hard enough."

"The general doesn't need to worry too much."

Wu Yidao smiled and said, "The recruits are really uneasy. Most of them have not been on the battlefield yet. It is difficult to predict whether their hands and feet will be weak when they see blood. But everything has its pros and cons. If the recruits want to mature as soon as possible, they still have to join the war. The big waves wash away the sand, and the real soldiers survive the blood and sweat."

"But... you must not defeat at the beginning!"

Fang Jie said: "If you are all afraid of the first battle, your morale will inevitably be sluggish."

"Please don't worry, General!"

Everyone clasped their fists and said, "I will never dare to underestimate the enemy and slack off!"

Fang Jie nodded: "You are all old men who have been through the battlefield for a long time, so you know what the situation is in the new recruits. If you win a battle, you can't stop them like a tiger going down the mountain. But once you are frustrated, the new recruits are far less tenacious than the veterans. What needs to be paid attention to in each battalion is... military law!"

Fang Jie said: "Once a victory pursuit is formed, the new recruits will be afraid that they will be unrestrained and disrespectful. Once such a thing happens, there is no need to hesitate and don't feel sorry for it. Military law is the most important thing, and you should kill those who should be killed. If you don't shock them, they will never know how to fight and join the army!"

Fang Jie sat down, looked at everyone and said, "I will put my words in front first. If there is a chaos in your new recruits in your camp, I will show the majesty of military law. Do you remember?"

"Here!"

Everyone agreed neatly.

"Xiahou Baichuan"

"I'm here!"

"The flying lion army will take you as the vanguard and build bridges and roads for the army. The closest is Liangcheng, with 15,000 defenders. Although they are county soldiers, the city walls are tall and strong. You can lead the troops to choose a camp place first, and then make plans after I lead the army."

"Here!"

"Zhuge Wuyin!"

"I'm here!"

"Cui Zhongzhen went to Xinyang, and you will leave the matters of the new recruits to you. You will go to the military farming area in Shannan tomorrow and select 50,000 infantry soldiers to follow the order."

"Here!"

"Chen Dingnan, Liu Xuri"

"I'm here!"

"You two are the left and right troops, protecting the wings of the army!"

"Here!"

"Shang Guo hatred!"

The big dog quickly left the list: "I am here!"

"You must not slackew on your baggage after you go back."

"Here"

"I will throw the army into the central army. After the preparation is completed, the army will go on an expedition. The matters in the mountains will be left to Sanjin Hou and the uncle of the army."

Wu Yidao and Luo Weiran stood up and clasped their fists and said, "Abide by the general's orders."

"That's it"

Fang Jie waved his hand and said, "Everything goes down and prepare."

Qingle Mountain

Watch it in one breath

Xiang Qingniu invited Zhuo Buyi, who had just arrived a day, to the seat. In Zhuo Buyi's surprised eyes, "I can leave with confidence when I come, and the things in the observation will be controlled by the teacher in the future. Most of my second senior brother is no longer alive, and although I have not delayed a dream for me, I can feel it. In this observation, I have no intention of staying there. First, I will find Fang Jie, and then see if I can find the body of the second senior brother."

"But I am not from the Dao Sect."

Zhuo Buyi said in surprise: "How can you get into the control of Yiqi?"

Xiang Qingniu took off his black Taoist robe and stuffed it into Zhuo Buyi's hand: "Just put it on. There are naturally people below to do things in the daily life of the temple. Just pretend to be enough. There are countless books in the temple. Didn't you say you want to read books, you can do whatever you want. If you don't leave the library all day, the people below will think that you are a master of Taoism."

"this……"

Zhuo Buyi glanced at the beautiful woman behind Xiang Qingniu: "Let's just let..."

"She can't do it!"

Xiang Qingniu shook his head vigorously: "She has to go with me. Not only him, but also the senior brothers in the temple will go with me."

"ah?"

Zhuo Buyi was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean is me only left in this view?"

Xiang Qingniu nodded: "No, no, no, there are nearly a thousand disciples. To be precise, you are the only one left if you can fight!"
