Chapter 756: The Great Era

Zhu Baotian left the city wall and went back to the City Lord's Mansion without instructions on what to do. He handed over the guards of the east gate to Yu Xiao, so he would no longer assign anything at will, this is a kind of trust from the boss to his subordinates, even if this trust is not absolute. Zhu Baotian, who has been in a high position all his life, knows better than most people how to be a good leader, and he said that he would hand over the defense of Dongcheng to Yu Xiao, so he would not show the slightest suspicion. Smart people know the way, and it is better to keep it in their hearts before they suspect that this kind of thing is not going to be revealed.

And some people begin to get used to pointing the country after they have a little achievement, and they have to immediately intervene in any subordinate department, and such a boss only gets the dissatisfaction of his subordinates. If the suspicion is put on the surface, then it is really not far from falling.

Yu Xiao let out a long sigh of relief after waiting for Zhu Zhutian to leave, only to find that his back was covered with sweat. The Black Flag Army outside has also retreated, and since there is no chance to deceive the city gate, there is no need to stay. But this time, the Black Flag Army's offensive was not on swords and guns. The general of the Black Flag Army who scolded him was not poisonous, he did not attack the city, but the hearts of the people.

He is provoking the relationship between Zhu Baotian and Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao noticed this at the first time, so he was acting, but he didn't know if Lu Dao's acting had deceived Zhu Baotian.

That's right, he came to Zhu Baotian and never planned to work for Zhu Zhutian. He only used Feng Ping as a springboard to prepare for the future. So he has been careful to hide his talents and knowledge, and even pretend to be reckless sometimes. For example, just now, he could have relied on his eloquence to scold the general of the Black Flag Army under the city, but he chose to pretend to be angry and his hands and feet trembled.

He wanted Zhu Zhutian to think that he was really angry, but he knew that Zhu Zhutian was not easy to deceive.

Looking at the team of the Black Flag Army outside the city, Yu Xiao clenched his fists and swore in his heart.

"Fang Jie! I will never allow what I am about to get my hands on to be taken away by you, nor will you be allowed to climb on top of my head again. Feng Ping is mine, and I will return to Chang'an to avenge the Yu family in the future. No one can ruin my plans, not anyone! ”

……

……

"The general knows the man on the wall?"

Chen Xiaoru asked.

Fang Xie nodded: "You know each other too." ”

"Oh?"

Chen Xiaoru was stunned for a moment: "The subordinates didn't recognize it." ”

"This person's name is Yu Xiao."

Chen Xiaoru quickly remembered after hearing this name: "My subordinates remember, he is the son of Yu Manlou, the former general of the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, and he used to be a romantic figure in Chang'an City, but this person is already a dead man in the archives of the Da Nei Guard Office and the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, it seems that the liquidation in Chang'an City was not complete." Someone helped him escape, and then found someone to be a substitute for the dead. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "It doesn't matter, this person has real talent and learning, the important thing is that he will definitely help Zhu Zhutian to defend Fengping." He knows the training of the Great Sui army well, so he knows our siege methods very well. When I surrounded and suppressed the reinforcements sent by Feng Ping to Qingyuan City in the valley, I felt that this army was a little different from Nanyan's army, but I didn't care about it at the time, and now I think about it, Feng Ping's men and horses also used the battle formation changes of the Great Sui army, but they were not skilled, and the transformation was very rough. It seems that Yu Xiao has been helping Zhu Zhutian train in Fengping. ”

Wei Xiting, who had already arrived with the team, thought for a while and said: "My subordinates have also heard the name of this person, his father Yu Manlou is known as the top three people in the general of the sixteen guards of the Great Sui, if he gets the true biography of Yu Manlou, he must also be very accomplished in leading the troops." ”

Fang Xie snorted: "The most important thing is that there are no of our people in Fengping City. ”

He said with some amazement: "At the beginning, there was a shortage of manpower, and there was a group of Xiao Riding School mixed with refugees because Fu Zhengnan intercepted the people and stayed in Qingyuan, so I have to say that it was luck to win Qingyuan." Murong Yongduo sent people to send the captive people back to Dali, but Qingyuan didn't go to Fengping, so our people didn't have a chance to go in at all. Most of the Xiao Riding School should have been taken to Dali City, and without internal response, Feng Ping is more difficult to fight than Qingyuan. ”

"The Great General"

Chen Xiaoru hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why don't we ignore Feng Ping?" From Qingyuan City, you can directly go south to attack Peicheng Jin'an, and then go straight to Dali. Whether Feng Ping fights or not, it doesn't seem to affect the overall situation. ”

Fang Xie shook his head: "Destroy Nanyan, and there will be no city left." If I bypass a city because it is difficult to fight, I will finally get the morale of the soldiers to fight every battle as a decisive battle, and it will not be the way to bypass it when it is difficult. ”

"Subordinates get it"

Chen Xiaoru bowed his head.

"Since you can't outwit it, then just fight it in the open."

Fang Jie's tone raised a little when he said this, so that everyone who followed him could hear it, and then continued to command: "Order the army to camp at the east gate of Fengping for ten miles, and wait for the follow-up siege equipment. The speed of the baggage battalion is slower, let Xiahou's cavalry protect it, and don't have any accidents. ”

"Chen Xiaoru, you come with me."

Fang Xie commanded, and then walked to the side. Chen Xiaoru knew that he had something to tell him alone, so he hurriedly quickened his pace to keep up.

"You pick a few of the best skills in the Xiao Riding School to follow you, immediately rush back to Qingyuan City, choose some precious jewelry and treasures from the Qingyuan City Treasury to bring, don't be stingy, bring more, and rush to Peicheng immediately."

"To Peicheng?"

Chen Xiaoru was puzzled: "The general clearly stated, what are you going to do in Peicheng?" ”

Fang Xie whispered a few words in his ear, and Chen Xiaoru's eyes immediately lit up: "The general's plan is really wonderful!" ”

Fang Xie smiled and said: "There is no level of sycophancy, and the salary will not be raised for you...... You are cautious and careful, and I can only rest assured that this matter will be left to you. It's hard to solve the only identity thing, you have to think of a way for yourself. This thing needs to be done not only but quickly, so you have to pick a few suitable people to start with, and the sooner you can do it, the better. ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Chen Xiaoru nodded: "My subordinates will go and pick people to return to Qingyuan." ”

Fang Xie snorted, and called a cronie to give a few orders, and asked him to bring his token and rush back to the camp of Vermilion Mountain in Huangyang Road.

……

……

The third day of the enclosure level

Dugu Wenxiu, who came from Huangyang Road, finally caught up with the team, and he didn't bother to change his clothes, so he entered Fang Jie's big tent.

"Lord, my subordinates are late, please punish my lord."

After he entered the door, he made a big salute, and Fang Xie hurriedly went over to help him up. He called the lord instead of the general, which naturally meant a lot of meaning. I don't know if Lu Dao didn't hear Fang Xie clearly or didn't care about this detail, but it led to the fact that the people of the Black Flag Army later changed the name of Fang Xie to these two words. There is no doubt that although there is nothing unusual about the change in the title, everyone knows that the title has changed, and the status has also changed.

Sanjin Hou Wu Yiyi once said afterwards that the wisdom of Dugu Wenxiu's talent lies in the fact that he knows when and what to do, and he does it naturally. Although Fang Jie's current identity is still the general of the Great Sui Black Flag Army, he has the title of the Great Sui Imperial Court. But in fact, he has long been a prince.

Dugu Wenxiu highlighted Fang Jie's status in this way, which shows his cleverness.

"I'm tired of you, how can I punish you? Huangyang Road's fight against Xinyang was just over, and you were urgently transferred over, and you were not allowed to rest for a few days, and you were tired of traveling and driving along the way, right? ”

Fang Xie asked Dugu Wenxiu to sit down and speak.

Dugu Wenxiu leaned over and sat down and said, "My subordinates didn't feel tired, but I was afraid that I would be late and delay the lord's big business." ”

Fang Xie snorted: "Let's talk about the situation on Huangyang Road first." ”

Dugu Wenxiu said: "After receiving the secret letter from the lord, the subordinates and General Cui began to prepare, General Cui was injured and returned to the camp of Zhuque Mountain, and his subordinates and General Chen took over from General Cui to lead the army to attack Xinyang, and broke the city on the fifth day. After the city was broken, Tian Xin was beheaded, and all the Xinyang defenders were separated by their subordinates and rearranged into the army, and this time the subordinates brought more than 10,000 of them were Xinyang defenders. Now Chen Yishan guards Xinyang and guards against Luo Tu's people. ”

Fang Xie nodded and did not interject.

Dugu Wenxiu continued: "General Cui has returned to Suzaku Mountain, and everything is in the lord's plan. Now the things in the camp should be almost the same, just waiting for the lord's order. ”

Fang Xie nodded: "This matter can only be guarded against first, and it is good to prevent problems before they happen." You guys are doing very well, I'm not in Huangyang Road, it's all up to a few of you. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, since the things in the big camp are on guard, there won't be any big mistakes."

"I can trust you."

Fang Xie nodded.

Dugu Wenxiu said: "It's just ......"

He hesitated for a moment, looked at Fang Jie's face, and then lowered his voice and said, "The subordinates were really startled when they received the secret letter from the lord, if it wasn't for the lord's reminder, the subordinates really didn't care about this." After receiving the secret letter, his subordinates began to send people to secretly investigate, and the more they investigated, the more frightened they became...... However, now it seems that the other party does not have any direct goals, but is just preparing. But this preparation is even more unsettling. ”

Fang Xie shook his head: "I asked you to check and arrange for you to do things, why don't you have a contradiction in your heart?" But this matter is too big, and it is related to the future of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Black Flag Army, so I have to be careful. ”

"The Lord"

Dugu Wenxiu took out an envelope from his bosom and sealed it with fire paint: "This is a matter that my subordinates cooperated with the people from the Xiao Riding School to investigate some time ago, and my subordinates are all here after they are returned." The subordinates did not dare to hand it over to others, so they could only present it to the lord in person. ”

Fang Xie took the envelope, but did not open it immediately.

"Is Hidden Jade okay?"

He asked suddenly.

"Fortunately, I'm still in the camp of Vermilion Bird Mountain, but I don't see a smile every day. Originally, the subordinates wanted to invite her to come with her this time, but after thinking about it, Sanjin Hou is here, if the subordinates rashly bring her, it is not easy to explain to Sanjin Hou, after all, the battlefield is very dangerous, and if there is any mistake, it will be difficult for the subordinates to die. ”

"Let her stay on the mountain."

Fang Jie's tone was a little stunned: "You go back to rest first, and come to the big tent early tomorrow morning to discuss matters." I already have a plan for Feng Ping, and tomorrow you will refer to what else is missing. I want to take Nanyan as soon as possible, and then clean up the Southwest Roads...... A great era came, very quickly, very violently. ”

He didn't know what to do, just on the bank of the Yangtze River in the distance, a person named Luo Tu also said this, the great era is coming, this is the world of young people.
