Chapter 340: Brothers

I don't know when the road began, and the people in the north began to spread about the defeat in the northwest. The 700,000-strong army was completely annihilated, and the three northwestern roads were lost...... When the news began to spread wildly among the people of Gyeonggi Province, it was already proven that the rest of the country had already spread. Because the news could not have been spread from Gyeonggi Province, those who knew the news in the court were all cronies of the emperor, and those who were not cronies had their heads cut off.

The atmosphere in the East Warm Pavilion has been bad in the past few days, and the weather has been warm, and I don't feel cold when I only wear a single coat. But the cold in this room makes everyone who walks in here feel like falling into an ice cave.

This cold comes from the emperor.

"Rumors are still spreading?"

The emperor sitting on the earthen kang looked at the military department's strategy for advancing the troops that had been changed six times, and asked without raising his head.

Luo Weiran, who was standing not far away, said: "The yamen of the state capitals of Gyeonggi Province have taken a lot of people who spread rumors, but ...... It's already hard to control. The people didn't say it on the surface, but they were talking about it in private. The minister thought that the news was deliberately spread by the rebels, and it came from the northwest. Although the sailor blocked the Yishui rebels and could not cross the river, the sailor could not prevent a small group of people from smuggling over. ”

"And ......"

Luo Weiran glanced at the emperor, hesitated for a moment and continued: "Hou Wenji is over there. ”

The emperor snorted, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Send a decree to the state capitals, and let the people who have been arrested go...... I never thought that I would always be able to hide this matter, and since it has been spread, I can't stop it. A few days later, I will announce to the world the defeat in the northwest. ”

Luo Weiran's face changed: "But in this way, the people's will is only afraid that it will not be controllable." ”

"Then don't control it."

The emperor raised his head and glanced at Luo Weiran: "Whether the people are discussing in private, or talking openly or publicly, there are many angry people, and there are many shameful people who scold Li Yuanshan, but some people feel scared and desperate?" ”

"Nope! The people were only angry. ”

The Emperor hummed and said, "In that case, what else am I worried about?" The rebels are not afraid to spread the news, how can I be afraid? Originally, I planned to wait for the people and horses mobilized from all over the country to rush to the east bank of Yishui as scheduled, and then announce it to the world, since it has now spread, let the people know the way clearly. I will ask Pei Yan to write a detailed proclamation and promulgate it, so that the people will know what Li Yuanshan and their traitors are. ”

"At first, I didn't want to recruit the people because I was worried that the people would be uneasy. Unexpectedly, the traitor's spread of the news made me make up my mind, and if the garrisons in various places were too strong, it would touch the roots, so I planned to recruit the people...... The people were angry because they also hated the shamelessness of the rebels, and they were willing to contribute to the country. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Since you want to tell the world, then start from the farthest place...... I will ask Pei Yan to draw up another will for Luo Yao, and ask him to transfer 100,000 horses to the north. ”

Luo Weiran's heart immediately tightened.

After calculating the days before arriving in Yongzhou, His Majesty was going to let Luo Yao transfer troops to the north...... If Luo Yao is forced to rebel because of the transfer of troops, then Fang Xie will be more than lucky.

"The left avant-garde guarding the southwest is the top priority, isn't it ......?"

Luo Weiran's words were not finished, because he knew that the Dao Emperor understood what he meant.

"A while ago, Mr. said something to me in this Dongnuan Pavilion, and it touched me a lot."

The emperor stretched his body and got off the earthen kang. Su Buwei hurriedly knelt down to put on his boots for him, and then straightened out the emperor's clothes.

"Sir, my biggest problem is my suspicion. I don't shy away from speaking out myself, and I do. Mr. said that if a person does not have even one person to trust in his life, it will be too boring and sad. After the gentleman went back, I thought about it for a long time and finally came to my senses. ”

He walked up to Luo Weiran and patted him on the shoulder: "I should have trusted you without any reservations, just like I trusted Lao Qi at the beginning." These days have made you wronged the people of the Ouchi Guards, and I am not at ease. Now that I have said this, I will tell you everything that is in my heart. ”

He said as he paced: "I haven't trusted Luo Yao since I ascended the throne, and I'm always worried that this general with a heavy army and a hundred victories has different intentions. So I have been on guard, and in the past ten years, at least three guards have been deployed in Jiangnan in order to keep an eye on him. After the gentleman went back, I suddenly understood that this was ...... Didn't it force Luo Yao and me to deviate from the direction and drift away? ”

"Thinking of this, I have always been afraid, and I am afraid that Yu Luo Yao will not be against me and will be forced out of my heart."

He raised his head and looked at the huge map of the Great Sui Territory on the wall: "In that case, I might as well go directly to transfer troops." If Luo Yao had no disagreement with me, he would naturally send people to the north. From then on, I no longer doubted him, and continued to let him guard the southwest half of the wall for me. If he really has that intention and refuses to transfer troops, I will put the northwest affairs aside first...... Relatively speaking, I would rather not have the three northwestern roads than lose a flat trade road. ”

When Luo Weiran heard these words, he subconsciously looked at the emperor, and suddenly found that the emperor's gray hair was even more.

"Fang Xie is in the southwest."

The Emperor was silent for a moment before continuing, "Since I have tried to trust even Luo Yao, can I still not trust Fang Jie? I believed that he would be able to fulfill my explanation, and urged Luo Yao to lead his troops north. As long as the left avant-garde divided 100,000 troops from the southwest directly to the north to Chen troops Huangyang Road, the rebels had to divide their troops. I personally led the elite soldiers and the people to fight it head-on, and marched into the army with the majesty of the Son of Heaven, how can a traitor be invincible? ”

The emperor picked up the red pen he used to review the folds, climbed into a chair, and wrote a bright red big Sui character on the northwest three roads of the Great Sui Territory Map. His gaze lingered on the position of the Mandu Banner for a moment, and then he raised his hand to write a Sui character there as well.

"I'm going to go and get everything back for me."

……

……

Anlai County

After the team to welcome the Qincha withdrew, the people still did not dare to talk about anything. After all, the more than 700 human heads were still hanging on the city wall, and the blood stains spurting out the necks of the more than 700 corpses had not disappeared. Qincha, a big man who can only be mentioned in legends, came to Anlai County for the first time, and it was not auspicious and peaceful, but a disaster of blood and light.

Secretly, there are many people who secretly call Chincha-sama a killing star who brings calamity. They would not and did not dare to be disrespectful to Luo Yao, so they could only use Qin Cha to vent the anger in their hearts.

Later, I don't know who Lu Dao turned out Fang Jie's old bottom and said that he was in Fangu, but as a result, Fangu's 800 border troops and more than 2,000 people died. When he arrived in the capital, Prince Yi rebelled against the emperor and cut off 36,000 heads in a fit of rage, and blood flowed like a river. He came to Anlai County again, and as a result, Anlai County also had a bloody disaster.

Killing star, disaster star, obscure star...... Such a name was not hesitant to be added to Fang Jie's head.

Someone asked in a worried and scared tone, Fang Xie is now in Yongzhou...... What will happen to Yongzhou?

On the afternoon of the day when the army withdrew from Anlai County, a man wearing a black cloak covering his head and face drove an ox cart into the county seat. The officials of the county town have been assigned to serve in the army, and so is the county lord, and no one in the command of the people wants to guard the city gate anymore, so when the ox cart came in, there was not even a person to check.

The ox cart walked along the main street of Anlai County and stopped at the entrance of the largest inn in Anlai County. He handed the bullock cart to the man, and after giving a good word of care, he walked to the gate. His eyes were drawn to a sign posted at the door, and he looked at the portrait on the sign and asked the young man, "Who is this?" ”

"Ahem...... It's not the mourning star called Chaser who built some Ruyi Sect! Damn, he's out of luck wherever he goes. As soon as he left, our Anlai County was cut off by the general more than 700 heads! If such a person falls into my hands, I will surely cut him with a thousand knives! ”

The young man looked at the portrait and spat at it, his eyes full of disgust.

The person driving the car was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Such a lawless person should naturally be killed!" ”

He walked into the inn, asked for an upper room, and went up to the second floor. I didn't come out until I had dinner when I entered my room, and Xiao Er urged him a few times, but he asked Xiao Er to send all the food into the room.

This person is the felony who is wanted by the portrait chasing businessman.

He sat at the window on the second floor, watching the sparse crowd on the street for a long time. Then he got up, took out a thick stack of paper money from the package, and burned it in the brazier in the house.

"Whatever my purpose is that I have deceived you so that you will die...... But at least you died in the pursuit of freedom, didn't you? If you want to blame me, then wait until the next life to torture me. In this life, I want to live a good life, in order to realize the dream that you have not been able to realize even if you die. The more people who died, the more pressure on my shoulders...... You are pioneers and deserve to be remembered by history! ”

What he said was so solemn and serious that he almost deceived himself.

He burned the money one by one, and his attitude was pious: "If you think I must be killed, remember not to drink that bowl of Meng Po soup when you cross the Nai He Bridge." After drinking it, you have no mind of your own, you have forgotten everything, why do you come to kill me again? ”

He burned all the paper money, and in order not to have more cigarettes, he would use a bench to extinguish the fire with each one.

"You're still so paranoid."

At this moment, suddenly someone was talking to him in the very near place. This voice came from his side, and with his cultivation, he naturally wouldn't be unaware and not react at all.

Hearing this person's voice, the brows of the chasing merchant quickly relaxed.

"Big brother...... How did you come here? Specifically coming to me? ”

He got up and asked with a smile, although he could suppress it, the excitement in his eyes still couldn't be suppressed.

"I have something important to do here."

The thin man who spoke stood right behind him, close at hand. He is too skinny, if he takes off his shirt the body can but use the washboard.

"How do you know I'm here?"

The chasing merchant leaned forward, clinging to the arm of the thin man, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"You've been this temperament since you were a child, and you're always going to go back to the place where you made a mistake and live for a while. You said that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is, because the people of the yamen will not search the place that has just been searched again. I don't have to guess to know that you will definitely return to Anlai County. ”

"Alas...... Big brother, you can't pretend to be stupid?

"I don't look stupid when I'm with you."

The thin man took off the hat above his head and threw it aside, revealing a face that was so thin that his facial features were almost bulging out and falling to the ground.

"Big brother, you came to me for this?"

"More than that"

The thin man looked outside, then lowered his voice and said, "You must not fight the idea of Qin Cha again, this person can't die!" ”

"Why?"

He ...... He's the one I've been protecting for almost seventeen years. It was because I went to protect him that he promised not to kill you. ”

The thin man looked up, and it turned out to be ...... Big dog!
