Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters terrible brain supplement
hangzhou city
A group of extremely embarrassed men and horses hurriedly entered Hangzhou City. The leader was Fang La and others who had been very proud not long ago and personally led their elite troops to strangle Chu Yi's imperial army.
The high-level Manichaeans who stayed in Hangzhou City had received the news not long ago, but the news they received was that Fang La had returned with his army. As for the outcome of this battle, to be honest, it has not yet reached Hangzhou City. This shows that Fang La
How fast the others turned around, it can be said that there was almost no delay along the way.
After all, the city of Hangzhou is only two or three days' journey from Jiaxing. With a quick drive along the way, you can even reach Hangzhou city from Jiaxing in one day.
Of course, the reason why they walked on this road for a day and a night was because Fang La and others gathered the defeated army.
The 50,000 Manichaean elite army can be said to be the core force that Manichaeism has painstakingly cultivated over the years. These troops have a high level of recognition for Manichaeism. Although they may not be considered loyal, under normal circumstances they are not.
would betray Manichaeism.
Although most of the soldiers were lost in a great defeat, most of the soldiers who escaped gathered together and finally returned together with Fang La, Li Tianrun and others.
When they left Hangzhou City, there were 50,000 elite soldiers, but when they returned this time, there were only more than 10,000 troops. Moreover, these soldiers had experienced a great defeat, and their energy and spirit were obviously much decadent.
Si Xingfang, Liu Yun and others who greeted the return of Fang La and others looked at the army entering the city in astonishment. However, as generals under Fang La's command, Si Xingfang, Liu Yun and others naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
It should be said that Fang La and others were welcomed into the city of Hangzhou.
In the huge hall where the original Hangzhou government office was located, Fang La and others, who had tidied up, gathered all their troops at this moment.
Wang Yin, Li Tianrun and others were sitting there with heavy faces, and it was obvious that they were in a bad mood.
Si Xingfang, as one of Fang La's generals who stayed in Hangzhou City, is a rare man of Manichaeism. At this moment, he is reporting to Fang La on the big and small things that have happened in Hangzhou City in the past few days.
.
After Fang La listened, he nodded slightly and said to Si Xingfang: "With Brother Si in charge of Hangzhou City, I can rest assured."
Si Xingfang looked at Li Tianrun and others, took a deep breath and said to Fang La: "Your Majesty, I wonder if Chu Yi's imperial troops have been wiped out this time?"
Although it seemed that the atmosphere was not quite right when Fang La and others returned, no one thought that Fang La and others returned in defeat. At most, they saw that only more than 10,000 people from the 50,000-strong army returned, and Fang La and others looked wrong because of their subordinates.
The reason for the heavy losses of men and horses.
The other people who stayed behind all looked at Fang La.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Fang La couldn't help but sigh, slowly shook his head and said: "That Chu Yi is extremely cunning, and his cultivation is even more unpredictable. I, together with the four masters and disciples of Zen Master Fayan, actually
None of them are their combined enemies..."
"What, this...this is impossible..."
One of the generals couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this, and even couldn't help but scream out because he was too shocked.
It was not just this general. It could be said that except for those who accompanied Fang La on the expedition, all those who stayed behind in Hangzhou City had expressions of disbelief.
However, both Li Tianrun and Wang Yin, who were sitting there, remained silent with ugly expressions. Gradually, this gave everyone present a bad feeling.
Could it be that what Fang La said is true, and that Chu Yi can really withstand the siege of the five powerful gods on his own? If this is true, then this Manichaean expedition will be a complete defeat.
No wonder Wang Yin, Li Tianrun and others all looked wrong.
After a while, Si Xingfang and others took a breath and said to Fang La: "Then Chu Yi must have paid a huge price to be able to defeat one against five, otherwise the king and others would not have come back so easily.
"
Li Tianrun, Wang Yin and others who had lowered their heads suddenly raised their heads, their eyes showing a bit of light, and Wang Yin high-fived and praised: "Brother Si is right, why didn't I, the commander, think of this? Then
Chu Yi must have used some forbidden secret technique to be able to explode with such terrifying strength, but he watched us leave without taking action to intercept us. It must be because his vitality was severely injured..."
Li Tianrun excitedly took over Wang Yin's words and said: "This means that Chu Yi is not as scary as we imagined, and he is not invincible."
Even Fang La's face showed a bit of joy. You must know that from the moment he saw Chu Yi suppressing Master Fayan's master and disciple with one move, Fang La's heart felt as if a huge stone had been pressed down on him.
Chu Yi's presence was like a huge stone pressing on him, and even Fang La had the idea of leading his men to flee to avoid Chu Yi's sharp edge.
After all, Chu Yi's invincible impression on Fang La was so profound that it even made Fang La feel a little desperate.
Now after listening to the speculations of Wang Yin and Si Xingfang, they concluded that Fang La was like a drowning man. He grabbed the life-saving straw, slammed the table and said: "I finally understand why Chu Yi will
Seeing me and others leaving, it turns out that after suppressing Zen Master Fayan and his disciples, he no longer has the strength to fight anymore."
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a lot more relaxed. After all, they suddenly heard that Chu Yi suppressed the four heavenly beings, Master Fayan and his disciples. The shock to everyone was really great, and even the atmosphere changed.
It was extremely depressing. Now that they thought they had seen through Chu Yi's true nature, everyone naturally felt a lot more at ease.
However, Fang La's expression became serious, and he glanced at the crowd and said: "Although Chu Yi's falsehood and reality have been seen through by us, one thing is undeniable, that is, Chu Yi is completely powerful enough, and no one can defeat him.
.”
If Chu Yi knew what Fang La and others were thinking, he would probably be shocked if he inferred it. However, it is not too far-fetched to infer that Fang La and others have this skill because they don’t know Chu Yi’s reality. After all, this world is in the realm of heavenly masters.
There is no existence at all. No one would think that Chu Yi has really reached the realm of Heavenly Master. At most, they think that Chu Yi used some secret technique to forcibly raise his cultivation level to the realm of Heavenly Master.
In fact, Chu Yi did not have the cultivation level of the Heavenly Master. He really cheated, but his cheating method did not have the extremely harmful sequelae as Fang La and others thought.
At this moment, Chu Yi retreated to Jiaxing City and did not rush to Hangzhou City.
Chu Yi gathered troops in Jiaxing City, and trained tens of thousands of Xiang troops by Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Lu Da and others, which was quite a bit like taking root in Jiaxing City.
Chu Yi's reaction made Fang La and others breathe a long sigh of relief after receiving the news, which further confirmed their guess.
In a great battle, Manichaeism was defeated, but it stopped the momentum of Manichaeism. However, Chu Yi stationed himself in Jiaxing City and did not move, which caused many variables in the future development of Jiangnan.
In the imperial court, Zhao Ji, Cai Jing and others have never relaxed their attention on Chu Yi's troops. It can be said that the Imperial City Division has sent out countless elite spies. Chu Yi's every move is transmitted back to the capital as quickly as possible.
With a bang, a vase was smashed to pieces. Several chamberlains immediately fell to the ground, trembling with fear.
Zhao Ji said with a hint of anger on his face: "What a waste. He can't even defeat Chu Yi, but he dares to rebel and claim hegemony. It's in vain that I regard him as a big problem."
Cai Jing, who stood aside with his head bowed, was as silent as a wooden figure, allowing Zhao Ji to vent his dissatisfaction.
After a while, Zhao Ji finally calmed down and returned to the peaceful appearance of the emperor again. His eyes fell on Cai Jing aside and said: "Xiang Cai, please tell me, why is Chu Yi stationed in Jiaxing City immovable now?
mean?"
Cai Jing then saluted Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, Chu Yi fought against five powerful gods and humans, and suppressed the four masters and disciples of Zen Master Fayan. This level of strength is simply inhuman, so
I thought that he must have paid a heavy price. If nothing unexpected happened, Chu Yi must have been seriously injured at this time and was inconvenient to fight. This can also explain why after that battle, Chu Yi
Huddled in Jiaxing City and unable to leave."
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction. What Cai Jing said was exactly what he wanted to hear.
A stern look flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing and said, "Cai Qing, what do you think I will order people to go to Jiaxing City and take over the army instead of Chu Yi..."
Cai Jing pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty's move is a great kindness, but I am worried that the few troops under Chu Yi's command are not enough to quell the chaos in Fangla. If I don't send another group of troops south, I think this time I will be able to quell the chaos in Jiangnan."
Zhao Ji stroked his beard, looked at Yang Jian aside and said: "Yang Jian, convey my decree, summon the direct bachelor of Longtuge, and the prefect of Qingzhou, Zhang Shu, to come to the capital at night."
Although Zhao Ji is mediocre, it does not mean that he does not know who is capable and who is not among his ministers. Just like Zhang Shuye, although he has a rift with Cai Jing, because of his outstanding ability, although he is not above the court, he is still
He was sent to a local post by Zhao Ji.
After thinking about it, Zhao Ji was quite confident in Zhang Shuye. After all, Zhang Shuye was one of the few civil and military ministers in the Manchu Dynasty who respected both civil and military officials.
Cai Jing couldn't help but frown when he heard this. After all, he and Zhang Shuye were very at odds with each other. The reason why Zhang Shuye was sent abroad as an official was entirely because of his exclusion.
But there is one thing Cai Jing has to admit, that is, Zhang Shuye's ability is very strong, and he can be both civil and military. Especially after giving birth to two sons, Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong, their martial arts are even more amazing.
Zhao Ji's eyes and ears.
If this were not the case, Cai Jing would still be able to serve as a local official for a long period of time despite his evil deeds. Among all the officials in the world, there are not many of them.
However, although Cai Jing said that no matter how much he disliked seeing Zhang Shuye, he also knew that he could never show the slightest objection at this time, otherwise it would only leave an impression of ignorance in Zhao Ji's heart.
Cai Jing showed a smile on his face and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty has a keen eye for people. I just wanted to recommend Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Qingzhou. I never thought that I would have a close connection with your Majesty and thought of this person."
After taking a look at Cai Jing, Zhao Ji was very satisfied with Cai Jing's reaction. As for the conflict between Cai Jing and Zhang Shuye, he was naturally well aware of it, but it was precisely because of this that Zhao Ji felt more at ease as the emperor.
, if all his ministers are harmonious, then he has to worry about whether his position can be secure.
The reason why he favored Cai Jing was because Cai Jing was able to figure out his thoughts and would never do anything that went against his will, just like this time he summoned Zhang Shuye to Beijing.
However, Cai Jing paused and gave a slight salute: "If I guess correctly, Your Majesty is planning to let Zhang Shuye lead his troops to the south of the Yangtze River to quell the Manichaean rebellion."
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "That's what I meant."
Cai Jing smiled and said: "Zhang Shuye and his son do have such abilities, but I want to recommend someone to Your Majesty. This person can go to Jiaxing City, take over Chu Yi's position, and command the vanguard army."
"Cai Qing might as well come and listen."
Cai Jing could only be heard saying slowly: "Zhu Meng!"
After hearing what Cai Jing said, Zhao Ji, who was originally looking forward to it, suddenly turned cold. He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "If it weren't for Zhu Meng, how could Manichaeism have swept across the land of Jiangnan? I didn't take it.
He was executed late in the morning because of past feelings. Today, Prime Minister Cai recommends Zhu Meng. Is it because he thinks Jiangnan is not chaotic enough?"
Cai Jing, however, was unhurried, stroking his beard to persuade the angry Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."
Zhao Ji snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he stared at Cai Jing. If Cai Jing couldn't say one, two, three, he would definitely not agree.
Cai Jing, however, confidently said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, you should know that Zhu Meng is very loyal to your Majesty, and his abilities are equally good, but his thoughts are in the wrong place. The most important thing is that Zhu Meng stayed in the south of the Yangtze River.
After so many years, I know the land south of the Yangtze River very well. It can be said that no one in the court knows the land south of the Yangtze River better than Zhu Meng."
Zhao Ji's expression gradually softened. Although Zhao Ji was very angry at Zhu Meng for messing up Jiangnan, there was one thing Cai Jing was right about, and that was Zhu Meng's loyalty to him.
Chu Yi is indeed very capable, but he doesn't use it to his advantage. Compared to Chu Yi, Zhu Meng is simply a model of loyalty.
Besides, the reason why there was such a big commotion in Jiangnan was not entirely to blame on Zhu Meng alone. It was just that the Manichaean rebellion and the court needed someone to take the blame, and Zhu Meng was the perfect person.
Now that he heard Cai Jing's words, Zhao Ji showed hesitation on his face.
Cai Jing noticed Zhao Ji's expression. Based on his understanding of Zhao Ji, he didn't know that he just needed to work harder and the matter would be done.
