Chapter 597: You're the only one who can fight

Another winter came, and the Black Flag Army under Fang Xie occupied most of the Huangyang Dao except Xinyang City and Xinkoucang in a very strange situation, and the front of the troops had begun to point to the southwest three roads. The Northwest Officers and Troops were defeated and almost died. Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu led their troops down the river by boat, and then attacked from Hedong Province into Northern Shaanxi Province, which was not far from the Gyeonggi Stronghold.

Yongwang Luo Yao led an army of millions to cross the Yangtze River, and was blocked by Liu Enjing, a general sent by the imperial court, in Firefox City, and fought fiercely every day.

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

……

……

"Report!"

Chen Xiaoru walked into the meeting hall quickly, and the other party hugged his fists and said eagerly: "There is important news from the north, it is a secret spy from Jiangbei Province who is a lowly and safe dismantling, and he tried to join Liu Enjing's army and get it sent out at the risk of death." ”

"What's the matter?"

Fang Xie hurriedly asked.

Chen Xiaoru took a breath and said: "The crown prince has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an City, changed the Yuan to rejuvenate the emperor, mobilized 100,000 troops from Gyeonggi Province, and transferred 100,000 troops from each acropolis, and recruited people and braves, with the general Liu Enjing as the marching marshal, and led an army of more than 400,000 troops to block Luo Yao's men and horses in Firefox City. ”

"The crown prince has become emperor?"

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and his face changed: "Our people who stayed in the northwest sent back the news that the army led by the emperor to return to Beijing was defeated by Gao Kaitai, and almost all of the more than 100,000 horses were killed, but the emperor was not in the army at all. I speculate that the emperor secretly left and rushed back to Chang'an City under the protection of Wudang Zhang Zhenren and the masters, but I didn't expect that the people in the capital couldn't wait for him to go back at all, and they had already supported the crown prince to ascend the throne......"

"The general guessed right."

Chen Xiaoru said: "Our people sent back the news that the emperor and his entourage had revealed their whereabouts in Firefox City, and were besieged by several great cultivators who did not know their origins, and Zhang Zhenren killed all the assassins by himself, and escorted the emperor back to Chang'an City." On the way, he met the imperial army led by Liu Enjing, and the emperor stayed in Liu Enjing's big tent for two hours and then headed north again, accompanied by Su Buxing, but Zhang Zhenren stayed. ”

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

Fang Xie frowned slightly, and 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 broken by Luo Yao again, Luo Yao can lead the army directly into Gyeonggi Province, Luo Yao does not aim to conquer the city, but has been going to Chang'an City, so the march is rapid." Liu Enjing led the first-class troops, but there was no great cultivator around him to protect him, if Luo Yao killed Liu Enjing in a fit of rage, the imperial army would be defeated without anyone to command......"

Wu Yiyi's face was also extremely solemn: "But...... Didn't the emperor think that now that the crown prince had ascended the throne, would he still be able to go back to Chang'an? How could those who supported the crown prince let the living emperor go back! That is, the marshal of the leading army was Liu Enjing, who was loyal to the emperor, and if he changed someone else, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not do anything out of the ordinary. ”

Fang Xie sighed and said, "Yes...... The crown prince has ascended the throne and has already held a big funeral for the emperor, but this time the emperor suddenly returned, and those who supported the crown prince in the court must be in danger. Especially when they all know that the emperor is dying, the more ruthless they become, the more they are afraid and afraid. In the northwest, the emperor was able to kill hundreds of courtiers in one go, and after returning to Chang'an City, these courtiers were also afraid that the emperor would kill them again. ”

"And Su is not afraid."

Wu Yi pondered for a while and said: "Su is not afraid of good cultivation, there should be no big deal with him to protect the emperor, but the emperor's return to Chang'an City will definitely not be smooth, and no one can hinder him in secret." Moreover, there is still an old dean in the city, and those people can only do it outside the city. ”

Chen Xiaoru said: "Liu Enjing sent a thousand cavalry to escort the emperor, it should be fine." ”

"It doesn't matter"

Luo Weiran said: "Even if the emperor returns to Chang'an City, he will not bring the throne back, he will not show up openly when he goes back to see that the prince has ascended the throne, and nine times out of ten he is secretly planning something for the prince." What we are concerned about now is the movement of Gangbuk Province. ”

"Right"

Wu Yi nodded: "The emperor left Zhang Zhenren in Liu Enjing's army, will Luo Yao fight with Zhang Zhenren in order to go north?" ”

Fang Xie shook his head: "What if...... If Luo Yao was in a hurry to attack Chang'an City because there was something in the city that made him jealous, he would not fight with Zhang Zhenren. He will 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, coupled with the threat that I don't know what it is, Luo Yao will not spend his cultivation in Firefox City to fight to the death with Zhang Zhenren. ”

"It makes sense, so as long as Luo Yao doesn't move, Zhang Zhenren will definitely not take the initiative to find Luo Yao."

Luo Weiran said: "This battle is still coming to an end between the armies, and no one in the great cultivators dares to join in without permission. ”

"Now let's just watch."

Wu Yi thought for a while: "The emperor is in a hurry to return to Chang'an City, and Luo Yao is in a hurry to attack Chang'an City, will it be because of the same thing?" ”

No one knows the answer.

"Anyway, now is a good time for us."

Fang Xie looked at the map and said: "The Xiao Cavalry School in the southwest provinces to inquire about the news has sent back secret letters one after another, before Luo Yao led the troops to attack Jiangnan, he had left more than 100,000 elite men and horses in the southwest to guard, just before we arrived at Huangyang Road, he sent people to transfer half of the remaining men and horses, and now there are only about 30,000 people in Yongzhou City, and the combined strength of the other provinces is less than 200,000, and most of them are county soldiers that Luo Yao does not look down on. ”

"Now he is in a mess with Liu Enjing in Firefox City, while Pang Ba is bent on sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but we are the most stable here, and the southwest is the most empty."

Wu Yiyi smiled: "It's time, let them go and rob Chang'an, let's go and rob the southwest." ”

"Beat the drum and raise the tent!"

Fang Xie turned around and instructed his soldiers: "Let the generals of all armies come to the meeting hall, I will arrange military affairs!" ”

……

……

Fang Xie pointed to the map and said to the generals standing in the hall: "Beihui Road is a close neighbor of Huangyang Road, and the people from the Xiao Riding School have already reported the news of the inquiry. Now Luo Yao is facing off against the imperial army in Jiangbei Province, and Pang Ba is watching from the side and waiting for an opportunity. Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu are fighting in North Shaanxi Province, and they are both heading for Gyeonggi Province, but our goals are different! ”

Fang Xie cleared his throat and said: "Cui Zhongzhen and Chen Yishan led troops to separate Xinyang City from Xinkoucang, Xinyang City Tian Xin didn't dare to come out easily, and his men and horses were more than enough to defend the city, so there was no need to worry too much." I have already sent someone to inform Chen Yishan and Cui Zhongzhen, and let them act with two cameras, if Tian Xin doesn't come out, then ignore it, and call back when he comes out. With the two of them restraining the people and horses in Xinyang City, we will not have any worries on the back road when we go south. ”

"I called you all here today to tell you that I have decided to use troops against Beihui Dao."

"General! We can't wait! ”

Someone below laughed: "In the past few months, I have been suppressing bandits, and I have been fighting some cowards who have no ability, and the victory of the army is decided as soon as it comes out, which is really not interesting." The people below are also looking forward to it, looking forward to the general's order to fight a few tough battles. Now that most of Huangyang Road has been taken down by us, Beihui Road is within reach, if you don't fight, everyone will not be happy! ”

Fang Xie smiled and waved his hand: "Fighting is inevitable, but don't be arrogant." ”

He pointed to the map and said: "The adjacent places of Beihui Road and Huangyang Road, the most important thing is the three cities of Liangcheng, Hui'an, and Wuxing, these three cities are side by side and support each other, and Zhong Xin, the governor of Beihui Province, has placed tens of thousands of county soldiers in these three cities, obviously afraid that our Black Flag Army will go south." I originally planned to wait until the infantry training was almost done before moving the troops, but the fighter plane should not be delayed, if Luo Yao wins on the Jiangbei Road, we don't have to worry, if Luo Yao is defeated, it will not be easy for us to fight the southwest three provinces. ”

"Therefore, we must be cautious and cautious in this march, and we must not be reckless."

Fang Xie put away his smile and said solemnly: "The infantry are all recruits, the longest training time is less than a year, most of them have only been trained for half a year, most of these recruits have never had blood on their hands, and they have never seen rivers of blood flowing from corpses everywhere in their eyes, so what I am most worried about is that the hearts of recruits are not strong enough." ”

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

Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "The recruits are really uneasy, most of them have not been to the sand and it is difficult to predict whether they will be soft when they see blood, but there are pros and cons to everything, and if the recruits want to mature as soon as possible, they still have to participate in the war." The big waves sweep the sand, and the ones who survive from the blood and sweat are the real soldiers. ”

"But...... Don't lose in the first place! ”

Fang explained: "If you all fight in the first battle, your morale will inevitably be low. ”

"Please rest assured, General!"

Everyone clasped their fists and said: "The subordinates will never dare to slack off on the enemy!" ”

Fang Xie nodded: "You are all old men who have been on the battlefield for a long time, so you know what the situation of the recruits is, and if you win the battle, you can't stop it like a tiger coming down the mountain." But once frustrated, recruits are far less tenacious than veterans. The battalions should also pay attention to...... Military discipline! ”

Fang explained: "Once the formation of a winning pursuit, the recruits are only afraid that there will be a situation of unrestrained and disrespectful orders, once this kind of thing happens, there is no need to hesitate or feel distressed, military discipline is important and cannot be abandoned, and those who should be killed will be killed." If they are not deterred, they will never know how to fight and how to be a soldier! ”

Fang Xie sat down, glanced at everyone and said, "I'll put the words in front first, if any of you recruits in your battalion are in trouble, I will show the majesty of military law, remember!" ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone agreed neatly.

"Xiahou Baichuan"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Take your flying lion army as the vanguard, pave the way for the army to build bridges, the nearest is Liangcheng, there are 15,000 defenders, although it is a county soldier, but the city wall is tall and strong, you first lead the troops to choose a place to camp, and then make plans after I lead the army to arrive."

"Whoa!"

"Zhuge is boundless!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Cui Zhongzhen went to Xinyang, and the affairs of the recruits will be handed over to you to take care of, and you will immediately go to the land of Tuntian in Shannan tomorrow and select 50,000 infantry to listen to the order."

"Whoa!"

"Chen Dingnan, Liu Xuri"

"The subordinates are here!"

"The two of you are the left and right armies, protecting the two wings of the army!"

"Whoa!"

"Shang Guo hates!"

The big dog hurriedly came out: "The subordinates are here!" ”

"After you go back, straighten out your baggage, and don't slack off."

"Whoa"

"I have turned my army into the Chinese army, and when I am ready, the army will go out. The affairs in the mountains will be handed over to the two of you, Sanjin Hou and Uncle Shi. ”

Wu Yiyi and Luo Weiran stood up and hugged their fists and said, "Obey the general's orders." ”

"So be it"

Fang Xie waved his hand and said, "All go down and prepare." ”

Qingle Mountain

One breath

Xiang Qingniu invited Zhuo Buyi, who had just arrived for a day, to the upper seat, and bowed to him in Zhuo Buyi's surprised eyes: "Mr. is here, I can leave with confidence, and the things in the future will be handled by Mr., most of my second senior brother is no longer alive, although I didn't drag a dream to me, but I feel it." In this view, I don't have the heart to stay any longer, so I will go to find Fang Xie first, and then see if I can find the body of the second senior brother. ”

"But I'm not a Taoist person."

Zhuo Buyi was surprised: "How can you enter the master of one breath?" ”

Xiang Qingniu took off the black robe on his body and stuffed it into Zhuo Buyi's hand: "Just put it on, there are naturally people below to take care of everything in the daily life of the view, and Mr. just pretend to be enough." There are countless books in the view, didn't Mr. say that he wanted to read books, at will. If you don't leave the library all day, the people below can still think of you as a master. ”

"This ......"

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

"She can't!"

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

"Huh?"

Zhuo Buyi was stunned for a moment: "You mean, I'm the only one left in this view?" ”

Xiang Qingniu nodded: "No, no, no, there are nearly a thousand disciples, to be exact...... If you can fight, you're the only one left! ”

He clenched his fists: "So...... Take care! ”
