Chapter 787: The Last Piece of Sugar
Chapter 787: The last piece of sugar
Yang Shunhui didn't expect it, and Zuo Mingcian and Zhou Mingli didn't expect that they had missed something that night. The entire Great Sui would never have thought that the emperor who rose on the other side of the ocean would come to the Central Plains with only a few servants and open a door with his own hands. Even if Yang Shun would be greedy for those ten boxes of gold, if he knew that Peter was Lyman the Great of the Opru Empire, he would definitely make a move.
If Zuo Mingcian and Zhou Mingli knew about the Dao, they would definitely be even more annoyed. If Lyman the Great had died in the Central Plains, the empire that had just risen would have fallen into chaos like the Great Sui.
The throne will always be so tempting.
……
……
On the fourth day after the destruction of Jin'an City, the Black Flag Army was ready to go.
Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Great Sui, has been silently watching Fang Xie these days, watching what kind of way this young man uses to conquer the enemy. This was Yang Qinyan's first contact with war, although the Great Sui had been in war for a long time. If it weren't for the little emperor who ended up with herself, she would still be the one standing behind. What is the future of the Yang family and what the future of Da Sui is, it seems that she has little to do with her.
But now it's different, the little emperor is dead, she is the last child of Emperor Yang Yi, and she no longer treats herself as a woman. From the day she left Chang'an City, she told herself that in the future, she would carry the fallen dragon flag on her shoulders.
"Guogong, are you going to use troops against Dali?"
Yang Qinyan asked.
Fang Xie nodded: "The matter in the south can be solved as soon as possible, so that we can free up our hands to solve the matter in the north." The secret agent inquired about the news that the ironclad army had invaded Jiangnan, and Luo Tu's men and horses would be defeated in a battle, and if Tonggu Academy still wanted to preserve its strength, I was afraid that the ironclad army would attack the gate of the academy. Before I can do that, I have to settle the matter of Nanyan. After the decisive battle between the Iron Armor Army and the Tonggu Academy, perhaps the Black Flag Army will no longer have the strength to strengthen itself, but must face the enemy that must be faced. ”
He glanced at Yang Qinyan and said, "Your Highness, I know the urgency in your heart, and I am equally urgent, but I can't gamble, and I'm not qualified to gamble with my capital." The stronger the Black Flag Army, the more beneficial it will be to His Highness, so I will attack Nanyan first...... I am not willing to plunder on the land of Sui, but I am willing to trample on the land of the enemy. The demise of Nanyan will increase the strength of the Black Flag Army a lot, and with a team full of murderous energy, it will have a better chance of winning against new enemies. ”
Yang Qinyan hurriedly said: "Military affairs are all in the hands of the Guogong. I don't understand this, and interjecting indiscriminately can only disturb the plan of the national government. As Guogong said, the hatred of the country and the family really makes me anxious, but I don't know the priorities of the road, so Guogong can rest assured, no matter how you choose, I will support it...... Because I know that only when the Guogong wins, there will be hope for the Great Sui. ”
"Thank you for your highness's trust."
Fang Xie hugged his fists.
"There are actually two other reasons why we are not in a hurry to move troops to the north."
Fang Xie was silent for a while and said, "The Ironclad Army is going south, and Yang Jian must divide his troops to stay in Chang'an." I received news that Kim Se-woong, Gao Kai-tae, and Wang Yiqu in the northwest have formed a coalition army to mobilize troops against Gyeonggi Province. I would like to ask Your Highness to write a few letters to the generals who remained in Gyeonggi Province, asking them to do their best not to fight the rebels and let the rebels go to attack Chang'an. ”
Yang Qinyan was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Fang Xie meant: "Let the people and horses of the imperial court let them go, and let the rebels and ironclad army fight!" If my handwritten letter works, I'll write it right away. Let neutrals avoid and let enemies fight enemies! ”
When she said this, the coldness in her eyes even surprised Fang Jie. This woman seems to know more and more how to face danger.
Fang Xie snorted: "Chang'an City is too majestic, even if the Black Flag Army has 200,000 horses now, but if you want to break through Chang'an, I don't have any certainty, let the rebels attack the city first, in order to consume the strength of the ironclad army and the rebels, but also to let me see more, learn from the experience of the rebels attacking the city, and reduce some losses when the Black Flag Army attacks the city in the future." ”
"Second ......"
He paused for a moment and said, "Your Highness must have a contradiction in his heart, right?" After all, Yang Jian was the founding emperor of the Great Sui...... But what I'm worried about is not his identity, but his cultivation. Luo Yao's cultivation is already strong enough but he is still defeated in the hands of Yang Jian, and my personal cultivation is not the slightest sure that he can win. Therefore, I can only let the people of Tonggu Academy fight with Yang Jian first, if there are any secrets in Tonggu Academy that are enough to threaten Yang Jian, if not, the only thing I can do now is to contact more Jianghu guests to ......"
"I know this"
When Yang Qinyan heard the name Yang Jian, his face obviously changed. No one is more uncomfortable than her, for her enemies are none other than her ancestors. Perhaps nothing like this has ever happened since ancient times, and the founding emperor became the enemy of his descendants. In order to kill the ancestor, his descendants are trying to do whatever it takes.
An old man and his descendant great-grandson snatched something, and both sides wanted to put someone to death...... It's a bit ironic, and it's a little painful.
"The future of the Great Sui is all in Guogong."
She said in a low voice.
Fang Xie shook his head: "No, the future of the Great Sui is all on His Highness." ”
After saying this, he didn't say anything more, and walked into the distance. On the school ground, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were already ready to go, just waiting for his command to march the army.
Yang Qinyan looked at Fang Jie's back, and there was something strange in his eyes. Speaking of which, Fang Jie's impression in her mind changed too abruptly, and Fang Xie used to be a hateful young man in her heart. And now, it is the only Optimus Pillar that the Great Sui can rely on. Such two identities overlap in her heart, but they have not yet been completely integrated.
She was a little confused, a little panicked.
But she knew very well that since she had chosen this person, she could not have the slightest hesitation. The Yang family is born with a very good view of the overall situation, even if it is a woman.
"Chen Xiaoru"
Fang Xie shouted
"Subordinate in"
Chen Xiaoru hurriedly came over.
"I sent more people to keep an eye on the reinforcements from the Suzaku Mountain camp, and I have to know how many miles I walk every day. If there is any change in the army, I will also know about it. Other than that...... How many people in the Xiao Riding School were bought by Luo Weiran, I also want to know. I don't want that number to be too much, because I'm distressed to lose one. But you can't stop investigating because I'm distressed, and you can't be distressed yourself. ”
"Whoa"
Chen Xiaoru responded.
"Also...... The person I asked you to find, is there any news? ”
"No news, but directions found!"
Chen Xiaoru said: "My subordinates just received the news, and you asked before I had time to report to you...... The lord ordered his subordinates to explore Hou Wenji's whereabouts, but he didn't have a clue. However, a while ago, Niu Huilun, a university scholar, came to the army, and he accepted Ma Lilian, the daughter of Yunlu General Ma Debiao, as his daughter. Before Ma Lilian returned to Chang'an, she had met Hou Wenji. ”
Fang Xie heard Chen Xiaoru mention the university scholars Niu Huilun and Ma Lilian, and then remembered that these two people had arrived in Yongzhou. There are so many things to do these days, and I forgot about it.
Ma Lilian said that when Hou Wenji separated from her, he said that he would go south, so Hou Wenji should go to Huangyang Road. The subordinates have sent people back to investigate the cities that entered Huangyang Road from the north, because the lord ordered a strict investigation of the people who came from the north, so there are not many people in and out of the cities, and the subordinates sent people to draw and ask, and there should be news. ”
Fang Xie snorted: "Let people secretly check in the camp of Vermilion Bird Mountain, I suspect that he has mixed in...... After you go back, send someone to Dali first and hand over my handwritten letter to Murong Shame. ”
Fang explained: "It's also time to deal directly with His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyan...... Remember, seeing Murong is not the main thing, the people from the Xiao Riding School who have blended into the refugees in the first place must be contacted. How Dali City is broken, it may still be in the hands of these riding schools. ”
"My subordinates understand!"
Chen Xiaoru nodded: "The Xiao Riding School in Dali City will definitely be contacted." ”
Only then did he understand why Fang Xie had to send a messenger into Dali to see Murong Shi first, because only in this way could the people of the Black Flag Army enter Dali City. As long as you enter Dali, it will not be difficult to contact the people of the Xiao Riding School.
……
……
Fang Xie handed the wine jug to Xiang Qingniu, Xiang Qingniu took it and looked at Fang Jie's face: "Your attitude of being attentive to nothing makes me very worried...... Recently, the Jianghu guests I brought with me were stunned one by one, I was afraid that you would come to me, as long as you came, it would definitely not be an easy thing to do. Let's say, let me go to Dali City to steal Murong Yan's head, or steal Queen Nanyan's underwear? ”
"Phew......"
Before he finished speaking, he snorted: "That old lady should be not young, why steal her underwear......"
Fang Xie glanced at him: "I accidentally leaked my hobbies, you are really special." ”
Xiang Qingniu glared back: "This is just a sign of self-confidence, do you understand?" ”
"The confidence of stealing women's underwear is not very good, right? I'm curious about which woman gave you such confidence......"
Xiang Qingniu pursed his lips: "If I want to, there are few women in this world who can not let me steal, right?" ”
Fang Xie picked a thumbs up: "It's awesome!" ”
Xiang Qingniu knew that there would definitely be no end to entangled in this topic again, so he hurriedly shifted: "Say, what is the matter?" ”
Fang Xie fell silent, and his face slowly became solemn. Seeing him like this, Xiang Qingniu knew that Dao must be a big deal, and he also sat down and waited for Fang to explain.
"You ......"
Fang Xie hesitated for a moment and said, "I mean, if you fight with your third senior brother, who is more powerful?" ”
"Me"
Xiang Qingniu's answer was very simple: "If I was still in the mountain gate, I would definitely not be the opponent of the third senior brother, but he has been down the mountain for too long, and once a person is contaminated with the official qi, he will waste some things." The third senior brother has been scheming all these years, and it is inevitable that his cultivation will stagnate. And I'm the kind of person who is a mess as soon as I get enlightened, so if I fight, I should be able to win. ”
Fang Xie nodded: "If nothing else, I may have a fight with your third senior brother." ”
Xiang Qingniu was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "Although I don't ask about the Black Flag Army, I think most of your arrangements have been aimed at the third senior brother recently." The third senior brother...... Over the years in the Ouchi Guards, his mind has been completely blocked by power. In the past, he wanted to do a good job in the role of the most important person under the emperor, but now that the emperor is gone, I don't know what he will think. ”
Fang explained: "I'm not asking you to fight him, but I need you to help me keep an eye on another person." ”
He was silent for a while and said, "I suspect that Hou Wenji is by Luo Weiran's side, so if I fight with your third senior brother, you can help me keep an eye on ...... If Hou Wenji joins forces with your third senior brother, he must be in the shadows. When the soothing envoy of the Qing Ya hides in the shadows, it must be a headache. ”
"Will you kill my third senior brother?"
Xiang Qingniu asked.
"Won't"
Fang Xie replied very simply: "He is the junior brother of Prince Zhong and your senior brother, with these two points, I can't kill him no matter what." ”
"Good"
Xiang Qingniu said: "If Senior Brother hadn't rushed back to the grassland in a hurry, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. Even if Hou Wenji joins forces with the third senior brother, he is definitely not the opponent of the senior brother. The old cow's nose became more and more crazy, but it became more and more domineering. ”
Fang Xie smiled, with some sadness in his eyes.
Xiang Qingniu patted him on the shoulder: "I told you at the beginning, I don't want the brand to fall, so I'll help you, and you will help me in the future." So even if I was facing the third senior brother, I knew what to do. As long as he doesn't die...... I'll help you fight this fight. ”
"If you can not hit ......"
Fang Xie sighed: "I really don't want to have any conflict with him...... I really don't want to let there be any contradictions between your brothers and sisters. ”
Xiang Qingniu took out the oil paper bag from his arms and opened it, pinched a piece of candy and put it in his mouth: "This is the last piece of candy, I haven't eaten it." ”
Fang Xie was slightly stunned, nodded, and did not speak.
But at this time, his heart was very empty, and the emptiness was a little uncomfortable.
