After arriving at Huangyang Road, within three months, Fang Jie just sent people to keep cleaning up the bandits everywhere. No matter how small a group of bandits was, as long as people came to complain, he would immediately send people to kill them. Three months Afterwards, Fang Jie got two nicknames, the thief called him Li Buliu, and the common people called him Li Tianshen.
The so-called Li Buliu means that as long as Fang Jie wipes out a den of thieves, he will definitely not leave a single one behind.
After this vicious name spread in Huang Yangdao, I don't know how many cottages broke up and never dared to make trouble again.
I don't know why, Luo Yaoming knew that Fang Jie occupied Huangyang Road, Xinyang City and Xinkou Cang were like two isolated islands in a vast ocean, but he didn't divide his troops to save them. You must know that Huangyang Road's position is extremely sensitive, and Luo Yaoming is very likely to be captured. The connection between Yao Dajun and the foundation of Yongzhou was severed.
Tian Xin in Xinyang City only had 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses, and half of them were recruits, so he didn't dare to rush the other party to send troops. It seems that Fang Jie has no intention of attacking Xinyang City for the time being, but the tentacles of the Black Banner Army have spread to less than 200 miles outside Xinyang City. The scouts of the Yong Army and the Black Banner Army often meet, and both sides have instructions from above, so There was no friction, and they just pulled the horse away when they walked across the road.
"Explore step by step."
Fang Jie took a sip of tea and said: "Let's gradually gather the counties and counties of Huangyang Road in our hands. Tian Xin in Xinyang City is constantly shrinking his troops. Except for the most important counties around Xinyang City, he has been scattered everywhere. Most of the troops were transferred back to Xinyang City. The scouts reported that half a month ago, Tian Xin sent 10,000 troops to reinforce Xinkou Cang, and built dozens of beacon towers between Xinyang City and Xinkou Cang. If Xinkou Cang was in danger, He'll find out soon."
"But even so, Luo Yao still has no plans to divide his troops back. Jiangnan Pangba has 300,000 troops, and he is on the side of Luo Yao's army, but Luo Yao didn't mobilize troops against him. It seems that they are all in peace."
Wu Yiyi nodded: "The general said before that if Luo Yao doesn't even care about the foundation of Yongzhou, it can only mean that his goal is Chang'an, and he is in a hurry. Half of the Yong army has already crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jiangbei Road , The troops of the Great Sui court were deployed in the Firefox City area, which meant that Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, led his troops to the north. At the beginning, Zheng Guo's army was also deployed in Firefox City, and it was a fierce battle. But... Luo Yao is not Yang Jian after all. "
"What is in Chang'an City that makes Luo Yao so anxious?"
Sun Kaidao didn't know Luo Yao's specific identity, so he was also at a loss.
Naturally, Fang Jie was unwilling to tell too many people about himself. After arriving at Zhuque Mountain, Fang Jie had gradually let Sun Kaidao get rid of military affairs, and instead handed over all local government affairs to him. To appease the people and govern the place, Sun Kaidao worked in an orderly manner.
"Maybe he just thinks that if he has Chang'an, he will have the world."
Luo Weiran covered the words, and then glanced at Fang Xie.
Fang Jie hummed: "Since he doesn't care about Huang Yangdao, let's continue to test. I plan to let Cui Zhongzhen lead 30,000 infantry, and Chen Qianshan lead the cavalry of the Flying Eagle Army to move eastward. Well, if Tian Xin goes out of the city to fight, our cavalry will have the advantage in field battles. If he refuses to go out of the city, it will be separated. The food in Xinyang City is also supplied by the Xinkou warehouse. Once the food road is cut off, Tian Xin will sooner or later Can't sit still."
"If this is the case, Luo Yao still hasn't returned with his troops, then..."
Fang Jie pointed to the map and said, "I personally led the troops to the south, heading straight to Yongzhou. Luo Yao didn't just focus on fighting north, let's see if he can still ignore me when I steal his back."
"It doesn't make sense."
Sun Kaidao frowned and said: "No matter what, Luo Yao will never ignore his foundation. When he used up all the soldiers and horses of Yongzhou to go north, his subordinates were a little surprised. How could he spare no effort to defend the four roads in the southwest? ? Transferring all the troops to Jiangnan and Jiangbei is like giving up Yongzhou early."
"Luo Yao has led the army for decades, logically, he would never have made such an arrangement full of loopholes."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "Since we can't guess how he arranged it, we can only continue to test it step by step. If he really only wants to attack Chang'an City and ignore the southwest, then we will accept his great gift with a smile. Although Luo Yao has squeezed the Southwest four roads extremely hard these years, and the people are not rich, but this is the land of fish and rice in the Sui Dynasty, as long as there is a good year, there is no need to worry about food."
"The four roads in the southwest are the most suitable places for foundation."
Wu Yidao also smiled: "If Luo Yao really doesn't care about it, he really gave us a big gift."
Fang Jie nodded: "I have already asked Chen Xiaoru to send the Xiaoqi School to go south, and then contact the Feiyupao that was left behind in the four southwest roads to find out the news in Yongzhou area as soon as possible, and see how many troops Luo Yao has left in Yongzhou. There are also people from Sanjin Hou, who are all over the city, and the news we want is not difficult to find."
Wu Daodao hummed: "Recently, I have received news from quite a few commercial firms. It seems that Luo Yao did not keep many people in Yongzhou. He brought all the generals with him. Originally, he kept one of the ten heroes of Luomen. Zhan Yao first defended Yongzhou, and later Zhan Yao was killed, Luo Yao went back to put down the rebellion in person, and never sent anyone again... "
"It still doesn't work."
Sun Kaidao didn't know that he was the only one who didn't understand anything, and he was still stuck in his thoughts and couldn't extricate himself.
Fang Jie smiled at him and said, "Military Master, there is something I have always wanted to discuss with you. You have been busy with local affairs recently and have not been free. Since you are free today, I just want to talk to you."
"If you have anything to do, just give orders to the general."
Sun Kaidao hurriedly bowed his head.
Fang Jie walked to the front of the map and circled the location of Huangyang Road with his hand: "We have now occupied several counties, more than 20 counties, and the appointment of local officials has not been resolved. Some local officials have a good reputation and can be retained. Some people complained deeply and couldn't stay, but I have been busy with military affairs, and I haven't had time to think about the appointment and dismissal of these officials. Let the military division do the work.”
Fang Jiedao: "I will ask Chen Xiaoru to select a team of Xiaoqi school, and then I will ask Qilin to send 200 soldiers. The military division can also choose some generals from the army to follow. From tomorrow onwards, we will patrol the counties and counties of Huangyang Road, and investigate the people's situation. See See who can be retained and who needs to be dismissed, kill what should be killed, don't dare to use a knife for fear of offending local forces, let everyone know who is the biggest in Huangyang Dao now, and who has the final say."
Sun Kaidao was stunned for a moment, and quickly bowed his head with his hands clasped together: "This subordinate will obey the general's order, and will certainly live up to his trust."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "Since the military adviser temporarily replaces me on tour, there must be a name, how about this, I will temporarily appoint the military adviser as the governor of Huangyang Road, to inspect and comfort, and you don't have to report to me about the management of local officials, everything is up to you. The appointment of officials will be registered and recorded, and I will look back later.”
Da Sui did not have the official title of governor, so Sun Kaidao was a little surprised, but he was satisfied when he heard that the power of governor was so great, so he quickly agreed.
"You're going out tomorrow, go get ready first."
Fang Jie said with a smile.
"Here!"
Sun Kaidao clasped his fists and turned away, full of vigor.
…
…
Seeing Sun Kaidao going out, Wu Yiyi smiled and said: "This person is very useful in this area, it is appropriate that you entrust him with this job. He is not very good at military affairs, and he is not easy to let go of private affairs. He knows too much."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "Because there are too many things to say in front of him, and it is precisely because such a person is needed to tidy up the place, so I thought of this project to let him go out for a walk. Now we have There are seven counties and thirty-six counties in Huangyang Road, this place is not small, if it is not rectified, it will not work."
Luo Weiran hummed: "However, I saw that this person's eyes flickered when he spoke, and he was very scheming, so he shouldn't use it too much."
Fang Jie smiled noncommittal, and Luo Weiran couldn't say anything more.
"We said before that if Luo Yao blindly went north and ignored the foundations behind him, there must be something in Chang'an that worried him, or someone who worried him. Otherwise, with his strength, there is absolutely no need So impatient. And...before he entered the south of the Yangtze River, he hadn't seen any signs of impatience, so it can be seen that he didn't know what made him anxious."
Fang Jiekan said to Wu Yidao and Luo Weiran: "Both of you have been in Chang'an City for a long time, Master Uncle has worked as a command envoy at the Ouchi Guards Office for more than ten years, and knows a lot about things in the Imperial City. Needless to say, Marquis is good at everything, especially what happened in Chang'an City can't be hidden from you. So let's sit together and think about it, what is it that made Luo Yao anxious?"
Wu Yidao pondered for a while and shook his head: "I have dealt with the Sui royal family all these years, and I know quite a lot of secrets, but when I think about it carefully, there is nothing that can make Luo Yao lose his sense of control."
Luo Weiran frowned and said, "I didn't expect that there are a lot of secrets held by the Ouchi Guards. The private affairs of those court officials are enough to make them tremble in my hands, but there is really nothing that can tell them." It's something that makes Luo Yao's heart tremble."
Wu Yidao thought for a while and said, "Let's not think about the court, but think more about places that can threaten him."
"Can it threaten him?"
Luo Weiran was silent for a while and asked: "Except for my master, I can't think of anyone else in this world who can threaten Luo Yao. It is said that there are a few old monsters in Jiangnan Tonggu Academy whose cultivation is against the sky, but if it is them Luo Yao didn't need to be in a hurry to attack Chang'an City, but to lead the army to destroy Tonggu Academy. And if it was because of my master... he didn't have to be anxious. The master is already old, and Luo Yao can't be in a hurry to find the master. decide the outcome."
"What else could it be?"
Fang Jie frowned: "My lord said that the old dean is about to leave Chang'an City, so it can be ruled out that Luo Yao is anxious because of him. If you two don't know, I can't think of anyone who would know."
He sighed slightly, his face serious.
…
…
Jiangnan
Xian Luo City
Tongu Academy
The dean of the academy, Dong Qingfu, was pacing slowly in the room, apparently in an unstable mood. The dozen or so people sitting below hadn't seen anything that could make Mr. Dong so worried for so many years, so they all looked at him and waited for him to speak.
"It's not easy."
Dong Qingfu stopped, with a somewhat annoyed tone: "I really didn't expect that Zhang Yiyang's cultivation had already reached that level, and the three great practitioners of the luminous state couldn't even hurt him. My academy has accumulated for hundreds of years. There are barely a few people who can do it, and I thought it would not be difficult to get rid of Zhang Yiyang and then get rid of the emperor, but now I know that it is because I haven’t moved around for a long time, so I can’t see through the rivers and lakes.”
"but."
He paused and said: "We told Luo Yao about the incident in Chang'an City, he must be impatient. Although it was just my guess, it may not be true. Luo Yao can't take it as a lie, If he knew it, he would rush to attack Chang'an. Send someone to tell Pang Ba to lead his troops across the river and follow behind Luo Yao, waiting for the opportunity. The strength of the imperial court should not be underestimated. When Yao and the Yang family fight to the death, let Pang Ba send troops."
"What about Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu in the northwest?"
Someone asked below.
"Ignore it, it's just two little people..."
Dong Qing thought for a while and said: "Go back and tell your masters that myopia is different from the past, this time it is a matter of life and death, so don't hide your secrets, use as much force as you can, let the Yang family get out safely, and replace them An obedient man who has been in charge of the country for hundreds of years. By the way... There is also a resentful prince in the Northeast who has been imprisoned by the emperor for more than ten years. If it is possible, it is time to make the Northeast mess up. , the more chaotic the world is, the more real we can see it."
"knew!"
Everyone stood up: "The old dean ordered, we will definitely convey it."
