Chapter 962 There is another big thing

Fang Xie had seen this scene more than once, or he had such a strong sense of familiarity with everything he had experienced today. When he saw the golden armor offered by the gentry and the common people, he suddenly had an illusion that he was in a different world. At this moment, he had to think of the mountain and the high platform he passed when he went south.

Now that it is on the bank of the Yangtze River, Jinjia will be sent at this time neither sooner nor later.

It seems that there is really providence in the dark.

Chen Xiaoru walked in front of Fang Xie with the golden armor, and the brilliance reflected by the sunlight on the golden armor was so dazzling. This gold may not have had any special significance on the day it was created, but when this golden armor was sent to Fang Jie, its meaning had already changed.

There may be no way to verify whether this golden armor was specially created for Fang Xie in the first place.

"Good sign"

Sanjin Hou Wu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this pair of golden armor, he walked over quickly, looked at the shining golden armor in the tray and praised: "The people sent the golden armor before the battle...... My lord, this is a good thing. ”

Fang Xie stretched out his hand to touch the golden armor, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

"Send the golden armor to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Fang Jie's hand stopped in mid-air and waved, and after giving a command, he turned and got into the carriage without looking at the golden armor again. Everyone was a little puzzled as to why Fang Xie reacted, such an auspicious event was also a great boost to morale, but Fang Xie didn't seem to be very happy.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that his face was a little strange, Shen Tianfan, who was making tea in the carriage, couldn't help but ask him. In the past two years, Shen Tianfan's temperament has become quieter and quieter, and he can no longer see the enchanting and cold arrogance with some wildness in the past. This is an inevitable process of growth for women, and it is actually good to be quiet in comfort.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly don't want to see that golden armor."

Although they didn't get out of the car just now, they also saw Chen Xiaoru carrying the golden armor to Fang Jie.

"If you don't want to see it, don't look at it, just have a cup of tea."

Shen Tianfan didn't even ask why, not only her, but also the other women in the carriage. Maybe if Wan Yan Yunshu is here, he will ask him, it is because Wan Yan Yunshu will not think about any complicated issues at all.

And the few of them belong to the kind of people who are so smart that they never need others to remind them of anything.

"I'm just a little resistant......"

Fang Xie sat down in the carriage by the window, and took the teacup handed to him by Shen Tianfan: "If I said that I saw this scene that happened today a few years ago, would you think it was incredible?" When I came out of Chang'an City and crossed the Yangtze River, I had a hallucination while standing on a high platform, and I saw it a few years later...... I saw myself in gold armor, standing on a huge chariot heading north, followed by countless soldiers in black armor......"

Fang Jie's lips touched the teacup, but he didn't drink it: "If Heaven had arranged all this a long time ago, then what I have done over the years is out of my last wish or has it been predestined a long time ago?" ”

After listening to Fang Jie's words, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little cold in his heart...... Fang Jie's words didn't sound anything special, but if you think about it carefully, you can appreciate the coldness in those words. If everything a person has to go through is arranged, everything that happens is going to follow the route set by others...... Isn't everyone a marionette? As others shake, you go.

shudder

"Just a coincidence"

Shen Tianfan thought for a while and said, "We always encounter very strange things, such as dreaming about some things, and these things really happen a few days later. Maybe when you go somewhere, you will feel that you have been to a particularly familiar place, these mysteries are mysterious, and they can't be explained, but this does not mean that everything has been arranged by something. You can think for yourself, what steps have you taken over the years that seem to have followed the route set by others? ”

Fang Xie smiled: "I'm fine, I just hate this feeling." Every time I feel this way, I can't help but look up to the sky to see if there is really a person with a blank face who is looking down coldly, telling me with his eyes that you can't escape anything......"

"Maybe there really is."

Mo Ningji suddenly said, "But even if there is, I don't understand why you hate that feeling." If it were me, I'd be excited......"

He glanced at Fang Jie: "When I was taken away by them, I once thought about why fate played such a trick on me, obviously the life I should have is to grow up quietly, learn female red embroidery, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then wait for the family to choose a suitable person for me to marry, husband and children, and live this life plainly." The greatest enjoyment every day is to sit under the gazebo by the lotus pond with a book in your hand and flip it up for a while...... However, when I started to flee in your place, I knew that it was all gone, and that what I had was no longer the future. ”

"At that time, I couldn't help but think, is that life better? Indulge in comfort, or struggle through adversity to achieve something? I have the current cultivation because I fled for you in those years. If it is fate to flee for you, then do you think I am obeying fate? ”

"I'm not."

Mo Ning Grease said slowly and seriously: "If I had followed the choice of fate, then I would have died a long time ago. I don't want to be manipulated, so I'm going to fight! ”

"Fight?"

Fang Xie repeated this self.

"Yes, fight!"

Mo Ning Fat said word by word: "If you arranged my fate without my consent, why should I listen to your arrangement? I'm going to fight! If Heaven has arranged my fate without my consent, why should I obey God's arrangement? I'm going to fight! ”

She paused: "Your current height is actually no longer fighting with people, but with the sky." ”

"What are you fighting with the sky?"

Fang asked.

"Heaven is heaven, and heaven is man."

Mo Ningren looked at Fang Jie's eyes and said slowly: "What fights for the world is the world...... After the fight, dominate the world. ”

……

……

The two naval divisions have been waiting by the river for a long time, 380,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 government soldiers, plus a large number of logistics supply convoys, it is definitely not an easy task to transport these things across the Yangtze River. With the current strength of the naval division, if you want to send such a huge army over, it will not be possible in about ten days.

This is one of the toughest wars the Black Flag Army has ever faced, and it has been difficult before the war has begun. This war was unlike anything that had been fought before, and there were many things that had to be changed. The grain road was too long, and before the largest granary in Jiangbei was taken, the grain supply was mainly transported from the southwest. As for Jiangnan, after the Black Flag Army left, few of the big households with food in their hands were willing to give some food so easily, and Jiangnan's granary was not held in the hands of the Black Flag Army.

If the fight against Nanyan was also an expedition, then the significance of these two expeditions is definitely different. To fight Nanyan, Fang Xie could unscrupulously let the soldiers empty the grain in the major cities of Nanyan, but when he fought Gyeonggi Province, Fang Xie could not do this.

"The granary is in Liyin."

Fang Xie pointed to the map: "Most of Liyin City is against the mountain, and the granary is built on the mountain. The reason why Liyin City is not easy to fight is, firstly, because it was built with the help of the mountain, and secondly, because the city walls are strong enough. Unlike other places, the walls of Liyin are all built of local materials and large stones quarried from Liyin Mountain, and even artillery cannot be fired. ”

He looked at the generals: "But the army is going north, and the grain and grass must be solved first, so it is imperative to fight Li Yin this time." Gao Kaitai took advantage of Yang Jian's southern march to Jiangbei to defend the emptiness, and killed from the west and took Liyin City by surprise. But Gao Kaitai knew the importance of Liyin, so he left at least 20,000 horses here to guard. According to the news from the scouts, the walls of Liyin City have been much taller than before, and more fortifications have been built......"

Fang Xie used charcoal to draw a semicircle outside the city wall of Liyin City, and this semicircle in the south of Liyin City perfectly wrapped the half of Liyin City that was not backed by the mountain: "Gao Kaitai's general Yan Zeng is a general, after Gao Kaitai sent him to guard Liyin City, he took advantage of the opportunity of the rainstorm and the river to divert water into the canal. Now this semicircle is the moat of Liyin, although it is not very wide, and you can pass it by building a pontoon bridge, but the biggest hidden danger is that this river is very close to the city wall......"

He glanced at Chen Xiaoru, and Chen Xiaoru continued: "The distance between the city wall and the moat of Liyin City is less than ninety steps, this distance, let alone a ballista, even a stone and a half hard bow can easily send feather arrows from the city wall, when building a pontoon bridge, the defenders' feather arrows will cause our people to suffer heavy losses." ”

"But if you don't build a pontoon bridge, the siege equipment won't be able to pass."

Fang explained: "Xiahou's people have already begun to attack the city on the north bank, and it is not difficult to take the county seat near the shore. When the brigade crossed the river, Xiahou's team was going to attack Liyin. There are 20,000 elites in Liyin City, and there is such a good terrain, this first battle is not easy to fight, you guys have a good discussion, and think of any way that may be able to help Xiahou. ”

"Subordinates think ......"

Dugu Wenxiu thought for a while and said: "Even though Liyin City is strong, even if the defenders in the city are elite, and even if they will not be short of food and grass, it is not that there is no chance of persuasion to surrender...... The subordinates felt that if they wanted to take Li Yin as soon as possible, the best way was not to attack Li Yin directly. ”

Wu Yi was silent and listened carefully to Dugu Wenxiu's words.

When he heard him say that the best way was not to attack Li Yin, Wu Yiyi suddenly understood what Dugu Wenxiu meant.

"A person's decision-making seems to depend on external influences on the surface. We thought that there was food, grass and ordnance in Liyin City, and there was no possibility for the enemy to be persuaded to surrender. That's because we failed to make them feel hopeless, and if a person is desperate, what is the point of surrendering? ”

"How to make a well-armed and well-trained enemy, who is not short of food and supplies, desperate? What's more, they still have the advantage of terrain, and the terrain of Liyin City is not something that can be taken with a large number of troops. ”

Cui Zhongzhen said.

"Heart-to-heart"

After Fang explained these two words, he couldn't help laughing, walked up to Dugu Wenxiu and said, "Although Dugu is not a general, he is really talented in using soldiers!" If you want to make a person hopeless, then let him feel lonely in the first place. ”

Fang Xie glanced at the map, and the smile on the corner of his mouth had relaxed: "I want to cross the Jiangbei to Xiahou's pioneer camp first, and you will come later." ”

"Lord!"

Dugu Wenxiu shouted from behind, and then glanced at Wu Yiyi. The two of them quickly exchanged something in their eyes, and then leaned over to each other at the same time and explained: "There is another important matter, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”
