When Fang Jie led the team to Xinyue City where Yongbei Daozhi was located, Fang Jie was surprised for a while by the news sent by Xiaoqi School at the fastest speed. Not long after he led his troops to the south, Luo Yao entered Pang Ba's army alone. That night, he killed more than 30 generals above the fourth rank and more than 200 generals below the fourth rank in Pang Ba's army, and captured Pang Ba alive , tore it alive into two pieces. All the great practitioners in Pang Ba's army were also killed.
Luo Yao killed almost all generals in Pang Ba's army overnight, shocking everyone.
In fact, before Luo Yao walked to Pang Ba's camp, he had already walked around the camp. Even a practitioner as powerful as him would definitely not be able to take down an army of 300,000, but he could kill those generals silently. Although this is not Luo Yao's behavior style, but he has exhausted his patience.
A certain secret in Chang'an City made him even more restless.
If that rumor is true, then what the Yang family has arranged for the past hundred years is not just against an enemy with a strong cultivation base like him. And on the battlefield, once the Yang family activated this secret, it might really turn things around. After Dalun Mingwang died, Wan Xingchen also died. Originally, according to Luo Yao's speculation, he would never have a real opponent in this world, but what happened in Chang'an City made him worry.
In order to prove this matter as soon as possible, he even did not hesitate to do things against his original intention. In his opinion, fighting for hegemony was just a game, but after he walked out of Yongzhou, he realized that there are still many things in this world that he doesn't understand, not to mention the whole world, even in the Sui Dynasty. A lot of things he doesn't understand.
And these things can threaten him.
So Luo Yao, who was originally a little bored, suddenly became full of interest in this world again. From Wan Xingchen, he thought of the unknown secret in Chang'an City, and then wondered whether there was such a dreadful existence outside the Central Plains. ? If anything, he felt compelled to go further afield.
Chang'an City is not the pinnacle of life.
And another reason why he walked into Pang Ba's camp and began to slaughter was because he was injured... Wan Xingchen's sword for seven hundred miles still hurt him in the end, even though Luo Yao knew that he was just a member of King Dalunming. The avatar is too far behind the main body, and has not received the half of the cultivation that should belong to him after the death of Dalun Mingwang, so he doesn't have many regrets that he can't win against Wan Xingchen, who has practiced for nearly two hundred years.
He knows himself well.
Even if the main body has only half of the cultivation base left, it is impossible to stop Wan Xingchen's sword.
Of course, he also knew that Wan Xingchen had reached the end of his life at that time, and a full blow was not at his peak. He also knew that if the secret in Chang'an City was true, Wan Xingchen had spent half of his cultivation to complete the secret.
But even so, he is still confident.
While his physique isn't perfect, he has a backup that's always been there. When he needs it, he will take it, and he will take it naturally.
After slaughtering the lieutenant general of Pang Ba's army, Luo Yao stood in the camp and announced that the army belonged to him. Those soldiers looked at him blankly and terrified, no one could believe that most of the generals in the army were killed overnight. For the rest, who would dare to say no to Luo Yao
Although it sounds a bit bizarre, Luo Yao directly took over Pang Ba's army in this way. When Luo Xiaotu attacked and suppressed the imperial army from the front, Luo Yao led a huge force and stabbed fiercely into the ribs of the imperial army from the flank. It's as if Pang Ba led his troops a while ago and suddenly stabbed him from behind with a knife.
Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing were defeated, half of the court's troops were lost, and they had to return to Gyeonggi Province.
Luo Yao is only a river and a mountain away from Chang'an City.
Upon receiving this news, Fang Xie was overwhelmed with shock. He didn't know what secrets there were in Chang'an City, so he was even more worried. If Luo Yao advances at this speed, it may not take long for him to reach Chang'an. Chang'an City is very large and strong, and it is the most powerful city in the world. But Fang Xie couldn't rest assured that if Luo Yao captured Chang'an, then relatively speaking, his own progress would be too slow.
Whether it is the entry of personal cultivation, or the entry of fighting for the country.
As long as Luo Yao entered Chang'an City, it would be equivalent to obtaining the orthodox inheritance of the Central Plains. At that time, more people would have to recognize Luo Yao's dominance. At that time, it will be even more difficult for Fang Jie to lay down a territory of his own.
So he is impatient.
Very impatient.
So much so that he didn't stay long in Yongbei Road, and immediately went south to Yongzhou after taking over the food supplies and the 10,000 soldiers from Yongbei Road. He wanted to go to Yongzhou not only because he wanted to fight against the Nanman, but also because of the biggest temptation for him personally. He needs to meet Luo Yao's wife again. If there is anyone in this world who understands Luo Yao's weakness, it can only be the Chu family.
Luo Yao is a thorn in Fang Jie's heart. If this thorn is not removed, he will not be at ease.
…
…
When Fang Jie arrived in Yongzhou, it was almost the Chinese New Year, but the climate in Yongzhou was warm and suitable. The weather is neither hot nor cold, which makes people feel very comfortable. With nearly 40,000 cavalry, the team of 30,000 county soldiers looked very spectacular. The people who fled north along the way stood on the side of the road and looked at this huge team curiously. I don't know who cheered the imperial army first. Came, followed by refugees began to boil.
A white-haired old man fell to the ground, crying.
"I thought... we would never see our Tai Sui soldiers again in this life."
His voice was dry and trembling, which made people feel sad.
A middle-aged man hurried over to help him up and wiped away his tears: "Father, stop crying. Seeing the large army sent by the imperial court, our hard days of leveling business will be over! The imperial court has not given up on us, no!"
After entering the Pingshang Road, Fang Jie didn't take the car anymore, but rode a white lion and walked in the procession. He witnessed the sadness on the faces of the people and the joy when they saw the arrival of the army. It was joy from the bottom of my heart, without any hypocrisy. The old man who cried and fell to the ground may have stubbornly regarded himself as a Shang countryman and refused to admit that he was a Sui person. But when the disaster came, he found that the only thing he could look forward to was the Sui Army.
Fang Jie walked past the old man and kept looking back.
"The army is coming!"
The cheers among the refugees came one after another, which also infected the Black Banner Army and the county soldiers. For the first time, they found that the people welcomed them with such sincere feelings.
"Kill those southern barbarians!"
"Kill all the He people!"
The people waved their arms at the army, and their pale faces became more and more red. They spontaneously gave way to the official road, and stood in the ditch by the roadside and cheered towards the team. They were ragged, they were emaciated, they were tortured, and just when they were desperate, the army came.
"Military disasters are more severe than natural disasters..."
Sitting in the carriage and looking at the refugees outside the window, Sang Sasha sighed softly. From the western prairie to the southern border of the Central Plains, she has seen too much suffering along the way. People on the grasslands are suffering from military disasters, and people in the Central Plains are also suffering from military disasters. I don't know who opened the devil's box, causing the worst disaster in the world to befall the West and the Central Plains at the same time.
She raised her head to look at the sky again, as if she wanted to find the answer in the misty clouds.
Is this disaster that has affected almost half of the world man-made or God's will? If it is God's will, why does God treat its people like this? Is it to destroy something
Unfortunately, she couldn't find the answer.
The team slowed down because of the flood of refugees. Many soldiers threw their dry food to the refugees on the side of the road. Fang Jie did not stop such actions, although he knew that doing so was definitely not a good thing for the army. good thing. He turned around and ordered Chen Dingnan to lead people to protect the supply camp at the back. Some people would do impulsive things at any time.
"If someone storms the supply camp to grab things, try not to kill people."
Fang Jie let out a long breath, and then turned his eyes away from the refugees. The big city called Yongzhou in front has appeared within sight. When I saw the gray and black silhouette last time, I felt very majestic and solemn, but today I saw it more lonely and desolate.
Fang Jie suddenly thought that he had been going back the past few years.
He left Fan Gu and went back. Leave Huangyang Road and return to Huangyang Road. Leaving Yongzhou, and coming back to Yongzhou... When thinking of this, two words came out of my mind uncontrollably, if it is destined that every place that was once important to him will go again, then Perhaps there is no exception.
These two characters are Chang'an.
…
…
This was the second time Luo Qiu saw Fang Jie, but found that the young man in front of him looked so strange. When Fang Jie came to Yongzhou last time, Luo Qiu's impression of him was just a young man with a bit of brain and luck, but this time, he didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
Fang Jie's temperament seemed to have changed a lot.
"Juexiao... long time no see!"
Luo Qiu chose not to call General Fang, but used a more intimate name. He seemed to have aged a lot during these days, and his temples had noticeably more gray hair.
"grown ups!"
Fang Jie bowed as he walked far away, no matter what this person was thinking when he came to Yongzhou last time, at least he didn't have any intention of harming him. And when he was in Yongzhou, this person took care of him a lot in life. Without enmity, Fang Xie naturally wouldn't act cold and aloof.
"What's your name...you and I are not allowed to be so estranged."
Luo Qiu grabbed Fang Jie's hand and walked into the city together: "If you still treat me as your own, just call me Shibo, will it not insult you?"
"how come!"
Fang Jie laughed and said, "I'll change my name from now on, and I'll have dinner at the deceased uncle's house tonight!"
Luo Qiu laughed loudly. Seeing Fang Xie's eyes sweeping across the crowd, he immediately understood what he meant: "Luo Yao's wife, Mrs. Chu, was going to come, but I stopped her. After all, you are representing the imperial court today." Come, Luo Yao's current identity... If she shows up, it will be bad for you. But I have already invited her to my house, and you can meet later."
Hearing what Luo Qiu said, Fang Xie was sure that Luo Yao hadn't told his wife the truth. Luo Yao should be very clear that Fang Jie is not his son at all, but just a body candidate he replaces. Thinking of this, he suddenly understood why Luo Yao didn't tell Chu the truth...
She had suffered enough in these years, even Luo Yao could tolerate her having an affair, so how could she be willing to hurt her? When Luo Yao killed Luo Wu with his own hands, and then killed Luo Wen who was taken away by Shi Yuan Tianzun, it was like stabbing Chu's heart twice. If she was told that Fang Jie was not her son, she might really collapse.
This woman, after her lover and son died successively, seems to have only Fang Xie to look forward to.
