Chapter 350: The Calm Before the Turmoil
When Yang Yayue and Liu Fan arrived, there was no need to continue to stay in Yizhou and continue to waste time, although He Ying had no worries about his life, Liu Fan also wanted to rush back this morning to save He Ying. Liu Fan has fully understood the use of Zhu Guo through Fluttershy, and has sent a message to Yangzhou to prepare the relevant medicinal materials.
"Lord, this is the latest information compiled by Mr. Guo Jia, and there are several important things in it, so please choose carefully. As soon as Liu Fan came out of the boundary of Yizhou, he met Bao Ren who was anxiously rushing over, Bao Ren couldn't care about the tiredness on his face, and hurriedly took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Fan.
Liu Fan waved his hand, the whole team stopped, Liu Fan opened the letter sent by Guo Jia, and his brows suddenly furrowed. Liu Fan asked people to find Jia Xu and Wang Yangming, who were walking in the center of the team, and handed the information in their hands to the two of them. After reading it, the two also showed thoughtful looks.
"What do the two gentlemen think about the current situation?" The letter is Guo Jia's latest report to Liu Fan in the form of the empire, which not only contains the news of the imperial capital, but the most important of them is the missionary development of the Sun and Moon God Cult hidden in Yizhou, which has been allowed by the empire, and they have moved from secret activities to the open, and now they have begun to preach in the four cities controlled by Liu Fan in Yangzhou, and Guo Jia has taken control measures.
"My lord, what the Sun and Moon God Sect is trying to do is not small. Now that they have opened up the situation in the Empire, it is impossible to control it, and now it is only necessary to control their preaching and not to reach our army, as long as we control the army. The situation will not be chaotic. ”
Wang Yangming nodded and said: "Lord, the empire is now in the twilight of the day, and it may fall apart at any time, but the situation in the empire is not irreparable, and the royalist faction led by the lord is still very large. But the current Liliang is also very scattered, the lord occupies the four cities of Yangzhou, and has to face Zhang Rang's direct attack, but Sizhou is also the place of the four wars. In the north, we have the troops of General Zhu You of Qingzhou, General Yuwen occupies a part of Yuzhou, and the lord occupies a part of Yangzhou. From both sides, the imperial capital was encircled. As for the Sun and Moon God Cult, the lord, they can't make a big deal after all. ”
"The army is the foundation of our existence, they preach in all the states of the empire, please report that their congregation is distributed in all the states of the empire, especially Jizhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yanzhou and other states. But their shili is scattered, and if they want to connect these states, they must first face the attack of the generals of the states. So they are not our main enemies. All we have to do is to strictly seal off the four cities, prohibit large-scale gatherings of people, and check the army at all levels, and find that the officers related to the Sun and Moon Divine Sect are immediately arrested, the people can be chaotic, but the army must not be chaotic!" Jia Xu's eyes flashed a gleam, if the army is chaotic, once it can't be suppressed, it will be a riot in the entire Yangzhou, no matter whether Zuihou can quell the riot or not, it will suffer heavy losses.
Yangzhou directly faced the attack of the imperial capital. Yangzhou is not an ideal base, Yangzhou is rich enough to raise troops, but there is also a lack of dangerous places, Zhang Rang occupies the righteousness, and unites the town guards to attack Yangzhou, so Liu Fan's Liujia army has to face only a field outcome, a lack of soldiers and major generals. The incomplete armor of the Liu family in the field could not be the opponent of the Empire's Praetorian Guard.
Liu Fan nodded, if there is a soldier, he is the king of grass, as long as the army is in hand, Liu Fan is not afraid of chaos in Yangzhou. Said: "These things are already being done by the military division, the four cities of Yangzhou are already under strict blockade, all people who enter the city must be inspected layer by layer, gatherings are prohibited in the city, and it is forbidden to circulate any information about the Sun and Moon God Cult in the army." ”
"Lord, we should hurry back to Yangzhou now, unite people with lofty ideals to raise the banner of righteousness, attack the imperial capital, capture Zhang Rang, and save the royal family, this is what we need to do at present. Jia Xu said slowly: "Lord, Yangzhou City is not in danger to defend, we must occupy the initiative in the war, take the lead in launching an attack on the imperial capital, and burn the war to the imperial capital, the war must not occur in Yangzhou, otherwise our foundation will be completely destroyed." ”
"My lord, we must not let Emperor Jing Zhang Rang's army enter Yangzhou. Who controls what army, the army of the emperor has deteriorated, and if he enters the emperor, he will destroy our four cities of Yangzhou in an instant. Wang Yangming also agreed with Jia Xu's opinion: "There is one more thing we must do quickly." Yangzhou must be occupied as soon as possible, we need a stable rear, Lujiang and Chaisang must be taken down, completely block the mouth of the canal, and block the waterway for the Yizhou Navy to enter Yangzhou. In this way, we only need to station the naval corps of Yangzhou in Lujiang and Chaisang, and the road to the sea will be easily blocked by us. ”
"Okay, let's go back to Yangzhou as soon as possible, and when we get to Yangzhou, we quickly formulate a combat jihua. Liu Fan nodded, and he also agreed with the two of them very much, Yangzhou must be fully occupied, and now the two legions of Liu Fan in the four cities are already very difficult, and only by occupying the entire Yangzhou can they have the spare strength to launch an attack on the imperial capital.
"Bao Ren, you go back immediately and tell Guo Jia that he has the right to dispose of them randomly, the army in Yangzhou can't be chaotic, the Sun Moon Divine Sect will catch one and kill the other, and they will definitely not be allowed to appear in the four cities of Yangzhou. Liu Fan said to Bao Ren with a solemn face: "The matter of the imperial capital is entrusted to Li Jing, I believe that it is not easy for the Praetorian Guards who want to cross Jian'an and attack Jianye." In addition, let Wang Qian's army prepare, and Su Lie's division is fully prepared to attack Shouchun at any time. ”
"Yes, my lord, I will go now. Bao Ren answered, and his figure disappeared in front of everyone in a flash. Liu Fan also knew that the time was urgent, and he didn't waste time and hurriedly led the team towards Yangzhou, so he simply had the fierce beasts caught in the Northern Abyss, and Liu Fan's team didn't have to be much slower than Bao Ren.
On the tall and straight towering tree, a woman in white with a cloak stood on the branch and stared at Liu Fan's team from afar, a delicate short sword hung on her waist, and the hem of her clothes was blown up by the breeze, a picture of a fairy in the world. It wasn't until Liu Fan's team disappeared from her sight that the woman floated down from under the tree and turned to leave in the other direction. Not long after the woman left, Shi Julan and Shi Ru, who looked tired, reappeared on the big tree, and the two searched around, and soon chased to the place where Liu Fan's team disappeared.
Jizhou, the main altar of the Sun and Moon God Sect, the three brothers of Fang Jiao and a group of sects are gathering together to discuss something, the royal family of the imperial capital issued an amnesty, this year's Sun Moon God Sect's mission has shifted from the dark to the sun, the sect is more and more day by day, Fang Jiao's reputation is slowly spreading, the Sun Moon God Sect has a lot of prestige in the empire, it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, after all, they have been preparing for 10,000 years.
"Sect Master, Dijing's letter has arrived. A member of the sect walked in, anxiously handed the letter in his hand to Fang Jiao, Fang Jiao took the letter in his hand with a solemn face, and immediately hahadaxiao after opening it, but everyone was a little confused, everyone took the letter in Fang Jiao's hand one after another, and suddenly their faces showed a look of joy that could not be concealed.
"God really help me, God is destined for us to be a big thing this time!" Fang Jiao's face was full of pride, everything was running according to Fang Jiao's script, the east wind would not be long before it arrived, and the hatred of the Sun and Moon God Sect's thousand-year-old annihilation was finally going to be avenged.
