Hangzhou City

A team of extremely embarrassed men and horses hurriedly entered Hangzhou City, and the leader was Fang La, who was complacent not long ago, and personally led the elite under his command to strangle Fang La and others from the imperial army of Chu Yi's department.

The Manichaean high-level leaders who stayed in Hangzhou City had received the news not long ago, but the news that these people had only received was that Fang La led the army back, as for the result of this battle, to be honest, it had not yet reached Hangzhou City, so it can be seen how fast Fang La and the others turned around, and it can be said that there was almost no delay on this road.

After all, Hangzhou City is only two or three days away from Jiaxing, and it is even possible to rush from Jiaxing to Hangzhou City in one day.

Of course, the reason why they walked on this road for a day and a night was because Fang La and others gathered the defeated army.

The elite army of 50,000 Manichaeism can be said to be the core of Manichaeism that has been painstakingly managed for so many years, and these armies have a very high recognition of Manichaeism, although they may not be considered loyal, but they will not betray Manichaeism in their spare time.

Although most of the soldiers who escaped were lost, eighty or ninety percent of the soldiers who escaped gathered together, and finally returned with Fang La, Li Tianyan and others.

When he left Hangzhou City, he was 50,000 elites, but this time he returned with only more than 10,000 troops, and these soldiers experienced a major defeat, and their spirit was obviously much more decadent.

Si Xingfang, Liu Yun and others, who welcomed Fang La and the others back, looked at the army entering the city with stunned expressions, but Si Xingfang, Liu Yun and others, as generals under Fang La, naturally knew what to say and what not to say, but welcomed Fang La and others into Hangzhou City.

Where the original yamen of Hangzhou Mansion was located, in the huge hall, Fang La and others, who had cleaned up, gathered a group of people and horses at this moment.

Wang Yin, Li Tianyan and others sat there, their faces were heavy, and they could see that they were in a very bad mood.

As a general who stayed in your Hangzhou City as Fang La, Si Xingfang is a rare heavenly figure in Manichaeism, and he is reporting to Fang La at this moment on the big and small things that have happened in Hangzhou City in the past few days.

After hearing this, Fang La nodded slightly and said to the Si Xing Fang: "There is Brother Si sitting in Hangzhou City, and this king is relieved." ”

The punishment party looked at Li Tianyan and the others, took a deep breath and said to Fang La: "King, I don't know if you have exterminated the soldiers and horses of the court under Chu Yi this time?" ”

Although it seems that the atmosphere is not quite right when Fang La and the others return, no one thinks that Fang La and they returned defeated, at most, they saw that the 50,000 army only returned more than 10,000 people, and Fang La and the others did not look right because of the heavy losses of their men.

The other personnel who stayed behind all looked at Fang La.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Fang La couldn't help but sigh softly, slowly shook his head and said: "That Chu Yi is extremely cunning, and his cultivation is even more unfathomable......

"What, this...... It can't be ......"

A general couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this, and even couldn't help but exhale because he was too shocked.

It's not just this general, it can be said that except for the people who went out with Fang La, all the people who stayed in Hangzhou City had a look of disbelief.

But whether it was Li Tianyan or Wang Yin, who was sitting there, they all remained silent with ugly faces, and gradually, this made everyone present feel bad in their hearts.

Could it be that what Fang La said was true, Chu Yi was really able to resist the siege of the five heavenly powerhouses with the strength of one person? If this is the case, then this Manichaean expedition is also a big defeat, no wonder Wang Yin, Li Tianyan and others look wrong one by one.

After a while, the Punishment Fang and the others, who had breathed a sigh of relief, said to Fang La: "Then Chu Yi must have paid a great price to be able to defeat one against five, otherwise the king and the others would definitely not return so easily." ”

Li Tianyan, Wang Yin and the others, who originally lowered their heads, suddenly raised their heads, their eyes showed a bit of essence, and they heard Wang Yin high-five and exclaimed: "Brother Si is right, why didn't Ben Shuai think of this, then Chu Yi must have performed some forbidden secret technique, so he was able to burst out with such terrifying strength, but he watched us leave and didn't intercept it, it must be because of the great injury to his vitality......"

Li Tianyan excitedly took Wang Yin's words and said: "This means that Chu Yi is not as terrible as we imagined, he is not invincible. ”

Even Fang La's face showed a little joy, you must know that from seeing Chu Yi's one move to suppress the Zen master and apprentice to the moment ago, Fang La's heart was like being pressed on a boulder.

Chu Yi's existence pressed on him like a boulder, and even Fang La had the idea of whether to lead his men and horses to escape away to avoid Chu Yi's edge.

In the final analysis, Chu Yi's impression of invincibility left on Fang La was too deep, so profound that Fang La felt a little desperate.

Now listening to the speculation and inference of Wang Yin and the criminal party, Fang La is like a drowning person, grabbing the life-saving straw, slamming the table and saying: "This king finally understands why Chu Yi watched this king and the others leave, it turns out that he has no strength to fight again after suppressing the Fayan Zen master and apprentice. ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a lot more relaxed, after all, I suddenly heard that Chu Yi alone suppressed the four celestial beings of the Zen master and apprentice, and the impact on everyone was too great, and even the atmosphere became extremely depressing, and now that they thought that they had seen through Chu Yi's reality, everyone was naturally a lot more relieved.

However, Fang La's expression was straight, and his gaze swept over the crowd and said: "Although Chu Yi's reality has been seen through by us, there is one thing that cannot be denied, then Chu Yi has enough strength to be invincible. ”

If Chu Yi knew about Fang La and the others' brain supplements and inferences, I am afraid that he would have to take a look. However, it is not outrageous that Fang La and the others, who don't know Chu Yi's reality and reality, have this inference, after all, the existence of the Heavenly Master Realm in this world does not exist at all, and no one would think that Chu Yi has really reached the Heavenly Master Realm, at most they think that Chu Yi used some secret technique to forcibly cultivate to the Heavenly Master Realm.

In fact, Chu Yi did not have the cultivation of the Heavenly Master Realm, he really cheated, but his cheating methods did not have extremely harmful sequelae as Fang La and the others thought.

At this moment, Chu Yi retreated to Jiaxing City, and did not go to Hangzhou City.

Chu Yi gathered people in Jiaxing City, and trained the tens of thousands of troops by Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Luda and others, which was quite a bit of a posture to take root in Jiaxing City.

Chu Yi's reaction made Fang La and the others, who had received the news, let out a long breath, and confirmed their guesses more and more.

In a big war, Manichaeism was defeated, but it stopped the momentum of Manichaeism, but Chu Yi was stationed in Jiaxing City and stopped moving, but it made the future development of the land south of the Yangtze River appear a few variables.

In the imperial court, Zhao Ji, Cai Jing and others have not relaxed their attention to Chu Yi's department, it can be said that the elite agents of the Imperial City Division do not know how many have been dispatched, and Chu Yi's every move is completely transmitted back to the capital division at the fastest speed.

With a bang, I saw that a vase was smashed and shattered, and several attendants immediately fell to the ground, trembling with fright.

I saw Zhao Ji with a little anger on his face and said: "It's really a waste, even Chu Yi can't take it, he even dares to rebel, he dares to claim the king and hegemony, and I still regard it as a big disaster." ”

Cai Jing, who stood aside with his head bowed, was silent like a wooden man, and let Zhao Ji vent his dissatisfaction there.

After a while, Zhao Ji finally calmed down, and once again returned to a peaceful appearance of the Son of Heaven, his eyes fell on Cai Jing on the side and said: "Cai Xiang, tell me, what does it mean that Chu Yi is stationed in Jiaxing City now?" ”

Cai Jing saluted Zhao Ji at this time and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, Chu Yi's strength alone fought against the five heavenly and human powerhouses, and suppressed the four Fayan Zen masters and apprentices, this kind of strength is simply inhuman, so the minister thinks that he must have paid a great price, if there is no accident, Chu Yi should be seriously injured at this time, and it is inconvenient to fight, which can also explain why since that battle, why Chu Yi has cowered in Jiaxing City." ”

Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction, what Cai Jing said was exactly what he wanted to hear.

A fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he heard Zhao Ji look at Cai Jing and said: "Cai Qing, ......you said that I ordered someone to go to Jiaxing City and replace Chu Yi to take over the army."

Cai Jing groaned slightly, nodded slightly, and said: "Your Majesty's move is very good, but the minister is worried that the few men and horses under Chu Yi's command are not enough to quell the turmoil in Fangla, so if you transfer all the way to the south, I think this time I will definitely be able to pacify the rebellion in Jiangnan." ”

Zhao Ji stroked his beard, looked at Yang Jian on the side and said: "Yang Jian, pass on my will, summon Uncle Zhang, the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and the prefect of Qingzhou, to enter Beijing at night." ”

Although Zhao Ji is mediocre, it does not mean that he does not know who is capable and who is not, just like Zhang Shuye, although he has a disagreement with Cai Jing, but because of his outstanding ability, although he is not above the court, he was also sent to serve in a local position by Zhao Ji.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ji was quite confident in Zhang Shuye, after all, Zhang Shuye was a rare minister of Yunwen and Yunwu in the Manchu Dynasty.

Cai Jing couldn't help frowning when he heard this, after all, he was very bad with Zhang Shuye, and the reason why Zhang Shuye was sent as an official was entirely because of his exclusion.

But there is one thing Cai Jing has to admit, that is, Zhang Shuye's ability is very strong, Yunwen Yunwu, especially after giving birth to two sons, Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong's strength is even more amazing, and the names of the father and son even go straight to Zhao Ji's ears and eyes.

If it weren't for that, Cai Jing would still be able to serve as a local official for a good time, but among the officials all over the world, there would be few people to find.

However, although Cai Jing said that he didn't want to see Uncle Zhang in his heart, he also knew that he would never be able to show the slightest gesture of opposition at this time, otherwise he would only leave an impression in Zhao Ji's heart that he didn't know the general situation.

Cai Jing showed a little smile on his face and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty has a good eye for people, and the minister also wants to recommend Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Qingzhou, but I never thought that the minister would have a heart with Your Majesty, and thought of one person." ”

Glancing at Cai Jing, Zhao Ji was very satisfied with Cai Jing's reaction, as for the contradiction between Cai Jing and Zhang Shuye, he naturally knew it, but it was precisely because of this that Zhao Ji would be more at ease, as the Son of Heaven, if all the courtiers under him were harmonious, then he would have to worry about whether his position would be able to sit firmly.

The reason why he favors Cai Jing is because Cai Jing is very able to figure out his mind and will never do anything that goes against his will, just like this time he summoned Uncle Zhang to Beijing at night.

However, Cai Jing paused for a moment, and said with a slight salute: "If the minister is not mistaken, Your Majesty is preparing to let Uncle Zhang lead the troops to Jiangnan to quell the Manichaean rebellion." ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "I have this intention. ”

Cai Jing said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang and his son do have such ability, but the minister wants to recommend a person to His Majesty, but this person can go to Jiaxing City, take over the position of Chu Yi, and command the vanguard army." ”

"Cai Qing might as well come and hear it."

I only heard Cai Jing say slowly: "Zhu Mian! ”

Hearing what Cai Jing said, Zhao Ji, who was originally looking forward to it, suddenly turned cold, flicked his sleeves suddenly, and snorted coldly: "If it weren't for Zhu Mian, how could Manichaeism sweep the land south of the Yangtze River, I didn't execute him Ling Chi is already in the past, and today Cai Xiang recommended Zhu Mian, isn't it because Jiangnan is not messy enough?" ”

Cai Jing was not in a hurry, stroked his beard and persuaded the angry Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty is angry, and listen to the old minister." ”

Zhao Ji snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything, but stared at Cai Jing, if Cai Jing couldn't say one, two, three, he would definitely not agree.

Cai Jing said to Zhao Ji with confidence: "Your Majesty should know that Zhu Mian is loyal to His Majesty, and his ability is also good, but his mind is in the wrong place, and the most important thing is that Zhu Mian has been in the land of Jiangnan for so many years, and he can't understand the land of Jiangnan anymore, it can be said that in the court, who can know more about the land of Jiangnan than Zhu Mian." ”

Zhao Ji's face gradually softened, although Zhao Ji was very annoyed that Zhu Mian had made a mess of the land south of the Yangtze River, but there was one thing Cai Jing was not wrong, that is, Zhu Mian's loyalty to him.

Chu Yi's ability is indeed very strong, but he is not used for it, compared to Chu Yilai, Zhu Mian is simply a typical example of loyalty.

Besides, the reason why Jiangnan made such a big move is not entirely to blame Zhu Mian alone, it's just that the Manichaean rebellion and the imperial court needs someone to take the blame, but Zhu Mian is the most suitable.

Now that he heard Cai Jing's words, Zhao Ji showed hesitation on his face.

Cai Jing noticed Zhao Ji's expression, and with what he knew about Zhao Ji, he didn't know that he only needed to work harder, and the matter would be completed.
