Many, many years ago, the man who established the Great Zheng State led an army of hundreds of thousands to besiege Chang'an City for two full months before he entered here and lost more than 40% of his troops. We must know that the scale of Chang'an City at that time was less than one-eighth of its current size.
Many years ago, the man who established the Great Sui Kingdom led an army of hundreds of thousands to besiege Chang'an City for a full month, and lost more than 30% of his troops. At that time, the size of Chang'an City was less than one-fifth of what it is now.
Now, Fang Jie came with the Black Banner Army. The number of soldiers and horses he brought was less than one-third of that of Emperor Zheng, and less than one-third of that of Emperor Sui.
Maybe this is favor.
Maybe this is the chance.
When Fang Jie entered Chang'an City, the soldiers walked in with their heads held high. There was no fight, no river of blood. Fang Jie used another method to attack the city of Chang'an. If he relied on the strength of his flesh and blood to break through the city gate, perhaps even the Black Banner Army would not be able to bear that kind of loss.
In fact, people are so strange.
When Gao Kaitai attacked the city, both the people and the soldiers in the city were thinking that he should not be allowed in. The war went on for several years and the attitude just didn't change. When the Black Banner Army arrived, the gates of Chang'an City opened naturally, and then the common people stood by the roadside in groups and cheered.
why is that
If Gao Kaitai is not dead, he must not understand this question. In fact, even Fang Jie was not sure that he could enter so easily and simply before entering the city gate. Then the people of Chang'an City, like a hero returning in triumph, welcomed him with excitement and dancing.
Maybe it's just because he used to be Lord Xiaofang in Chang'an City, while Gao Kaitai was an outsider.
Or maybe it was because of other things, but in short, these are not important anymore. The important thing is that the soldiers of the Black Banner Army lined up neatly and walked into the city of Chang'an with their heads held high. It seems so normal and so natural today, as if things should happen this way. However, the record of this day in the history books will never be peaceful, and will leave the strongest stroke.
Fang Jie rode a white lion and walked slowly into Chang'an City.
He saw the cheering crowd and the enthusiasm of Chang'an City.
When he entered Chang'an City before this year, the hundred miles of Chang'an seemed so huge, so deep and so far away to him, yes, even if he walked into this huge city, he still felt that he was far away from it. At that time, who in Chang'an City knew Fang Jie and Fang Juexiao
In Chang'an City, who doesn't know Fang Juexiao
…
…
The moment they saw Fang Jie riding a white lion into the city of Chang'an, the people were all excited. The cheers of the crowd seem to be able to break the sky.
"I asked my lord if you are ready to enter the city. There will be many people coming to welcome you."
Wu Yidao rode a war horse and followed Fang Jie and said with a smile: "My lord said that there would not be many people, it seems wrong... I haven't seen the lord predict anything wrong in the past few years. As expected. The people in Chang'an City are welcoming you, just like welcoming a hero who has returned home."
Fang Jie was still calm, so calm that one could think that something was wrong with him.
"They're just venting their feelings."
He said something very flat.
Wu Yidao was slightly taken aback, trying to understand the meaning behind this sentence. Perhaps Fang Jie was right. The people of Chang'an City were not welcoming a hero back, but venting the anger that had been pent up in their hearts for the past few years. It's like a person living in a dark prison, suddenly finds that the window has been opened, and the sun is pouring in from the outside, so dazzling, piercing to tears, but so happy.
Maybe Mu San and Yi Chong understand this kind of feeling better.
Fang Jie got down from the back of the white lion at the gate of the city, and saw a group of people in brocade clothes with smiles on their faces gathered in front of them. The smiles on these people's faces and the smiles on the faces of the common people are definitely not the same, and they don't look at Fang Xie as if they are looking at a returning hero, but a fierce beast that broke in.
"Suddenly I don't want to talk to these people."
Fang Jie said.
"Then come down, my lord, you go into the city to rest."
Wu Yi said in a low voice.
Fang Jie nodded, waved his hands to those excited and false people as a greeting, then jumped on the back of Hun Huan again, pointed in a direction, and the white lion rushed forward immediately. Those big shots who were waiting to greet Fang Jie were all stunned, each one of them was like a statue, and their smiles were petrified on their faces.
Wu Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and strode over.
Fang Jie rode a white lion to Dongerershisantiao Street in one breath, and stopped at the door of his shop. In fact, this place did not bring him many memories, but it was a place that could give him warmth in Chang'an City. When he was fleeing before, what he wanted most was to be a rich man, the kind of rich man who would not be occupied with earning wealth all his time. Every day, I go around in my own industry, and then go home and turn the abacus to see how much money I have earned.
Unfortunately, after arriving in Chang'an City, Fang Xie discovered that there would never be such a rich man in Chang'an City. Those businessmen with low status were oppressed by the officials in Chang'an City, and they couldn't even breathe smoothly. If you want to be a rich man in a peaceful and prosperous age, you need to learn to bend your spine.
Then he wanted to be a small official, doing his own duties in the public office every day, bickering and drinking with Mu Xiaoyao after returning home, and hanging shoulder to shoulder with the big dog to go out to see the beauties on the street.
Then
These thoughts all failed.
Coming down from the shop door, Fang Jie looked at the deserted street. Those people who knew that Fang Jie was going to enter the city today had accumulated on both sides of the main street from Chengde Gate before dawn, blocking the flow of water. They were all still waiting there, who knew that Fang Jie had arrived here alone.
Push open the door of the shop and look at the dust on the ground.
Fang Jie had the feeling that he had returned to Fan Gucheng.
…
…
The adults from the three provinces and six divisions were all waiting in the Taiji Hall, and everyone who was able to stand in this hall today was very nervous. The little eunuch named Mu San had beheaded some people before Fang Jie entered the city, which was heavy enough. As a result, there are many vacancies in the queue of courtiers standing now, and many of them are at the forefront.
They glanced outside the main hall from time to time, waiting for the young man they had never looked at before to come in. This feeling is different from the feeling that Yang Jian brought to the courtiers when he re-entered the Tai Chi Hall. At that time, Yang Jian walked in abruptly, and then forcefully announced that he would take over the court. There is no waiting process, so less suffering.
Speaking of which, none of the officials standing in the hall is familiar with Fang Xie. They knew a lot about each other, but they were so unfamiliar.
No one knows what kind of gesture the person who came in to rule the court this time will make. After the little emperor Yang Chengqian came to the throne, he used a gentle strategy to appease the courtiers. As a result, before the courtiers had time to give the little emperor some support, Yang Jian put the little emperor aside.
Yang Jian's strategy is to suppress, anyone who disobeys will be killed.
Even after years of fighting, the total number of great figures who died in the entire Central Plains is definitely not as many as those in Chang'an City.
They were all nervous, but it wasn't Fang Jie who waited.
It was Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty.
Fang Jie never showed up!
Then everyone was asking in their hearts, where did that Mr. Xiao Fang who is now truly famous all over the world go
Fang Jie is in the Academy of Martial Arts.
He was sitting under the weeping willow outside the dean's house, playing chess with Zhou Banchuan, who was already full of gray hair. Fang Jie's learning ability is obvious to all, but only in this game, Jie has not improved much. Zhou Banchuan, who had spent nearly his entire life on this chessboard with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, almost effortlessly killed Fang and threw away his helmet and armor.
"Not coming, not coming."
Fang Jie smiled and shook his head, abandoning his son and admitting defeat.
Zhou Banchuan didn't smile, he didn't seem to be satisfied at all.
"Yuanzi won't laugh, do you think it's interesting to play chess like this?"
Fang asked.
"It's boring just because you won."
Zhou Banchuan put away all the chess pieces carefully: "How many heroes and heroes are there on the chessboard? I used three different openings for these three games. You didn't avoid any of the obvious traps. You jumped all of them. Go in. A person like you can see those traps even if you are not good at chess, why do you want to jump into them? Judging from this chess game, you have already failed countless times, and every time you die. "
He looked at Fang Jie: "Why did you succeed?"
Fang Jie shook his head: "I don't know."
Zhou Banchuan sighed: "Many generals have been taught in the Academy of Martial Arts. Even Li Xiaozong, who was executed by you in the northwest, is more vicious than you in terms of character, behavior and means. If you don't have the achievements you have now Qi, I will never admit that you are a disciple of Yanwuyuan."
Fang Jie laughed out loud.
"Will it be rebuilt?"
"meeting."
Fang Jie nodded.
Zhou Banchuan let out a long sigh of relief: "Now, it's more comfortable to win these three games."
"Can I give you a suggestion?"
Zhou Banchuan said.
"good."
Fang Jie nodded again.
"The matter of the Mengyuan people in the northwest is the most important thing, but it is enough to stop the Mengyuan people to the west of Yishui. As for the eastern border, it is a failure in my opinion that you sent a hundred thousand troops. No matter how strong the foreigners are, I want to Breaking into the Central Plains is not an easy task. Put aside the matter of Eastern Xinjiang for now, stabilize Chang'an City, Gyeonggi Province and Jiangbei Province will be stable, and then divide the troops to stabilize the eastern part of the Central Plains. If the Shuncheng Road and other roads are stable, the entire north will be stable. .”
"Then use half a year to a year to stabilize Jiangnan and accumulate strength. You kill too many people in the southwest, which is not good. But those people with rich families still need to use them after all, and they still have to discard what should be discarded. You should use them and use them. Before you entered the city, you designed Wei Mu to kill many people. This move is very good. But after entering the city, you should focus on Huairou."
"The country is too big. It's okay if we can't take it all for now. It's okay if some places are occupied by Mongolian people and some places are taken by foreigners. It's okay to stabilize it and then grab it back."
Zhou Banchuan said seriously.
Fang Jie was silent for a while, then shook his head.
"Why?"
Zhou Banchuan asked.
"This is the safest way."
He said.
"Because... I'm really not the kind of person who came out of the Academy of Martial Arts and has very standard ideas."
Fang Jie pointed to the chessboard: "It's like a chess game. I can't beat you, even worse than Li Xiaozong. But I won't give up an inch of this country, especially to foreign enemies. The dean's strategy is undoubtedly the best. Well, it's a big road. But I've always taken the small road, so let's go on according to my own will."
Fang Jie stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky.
"Dean."
He was silent for a while and said: "Look... I will take over the world."
