Mo Ningzhi's injury was not serious, but she fell from mid-air because of the force of the shock that blocked her meridian all of a sudden. In order to save Shen Qingshan's knife, she made a hasty attack and bore the brunt of the sword energy of the man in white , she has always been conceited and made her underestimate the enemy, and this backlash almost made her faint. When it fell, it happened to be caught by Fang Jie.
Fortunately, the white lion was fast enough to catch up with them after a while.
Speaking of which, these three women's cultivation bases are all very strong. Shen Qingshan's sword, Mo Ningzhi's knife, and Sang Sasha's cultivation base, if the three of them are prepared to join forces, they may not be unstoppable. That sword energy, after all, that sword energy is not the man in white's own cultivation, but the sword energy of Shen Qingfan that came back from the shock. That sword energy has not become stronger in essence, what is powerful is just a means. The same moves definitely have different powers in the hands of different people.
After Fang Jie returned to the camp and settled them down, he was reminded that there was another Du Mu waiting for him to meet. Fang Xie knew that Jin'an City couldn't stop the Black Banner Army, so he knew from the beginning that Du Mu's purpose in coming was nothing more than delay.
Back in the big tent, Fang Jie sat down and ordered Du Mu to be called in. The celebrity in Jin'an City had an ugly face when he came in, because the more he thought about it after running back, the more frightened he was. Why did he walk over so stupidly at that time? It wasn't that Fang Jie told him to go first, maybe he would be silenced.
"How many defenders are there in Jin'an City?"
Fang Jie didn't give Du Mu a chance to speak first, and directly asked what he wanted to know.
"No less than thirty thousand."
Du Mu was taken aback for a moment and then answered quickly.
Fang Jie hummed, pointed outside and said, "I don't want to kill people today, you go. After you go back, tell Ning Hao that my Black Banner Army will attack the city from tomorrow, and let him take the 30,000 soldiers to guard it carefully." .”
Du Mu smiled awkwardly: "Grandpa... there are actually less than 10,000 horses in the city."
Fang Jie waved his hand impatiently: "The reason why I asked you to come back is that I don't want innocent people to be implicated to death. I'm not interested in hearing these lies from you. No matter how many words you have prepared, you can hold back. I don't want to Talk again, come and send him out."
Du Mu hurriedly leaned over and said, "My lord, although Jin'an City is small and there are few defenders in the city, once a battle starts, wouldn't it be a loss if a soldier from the Black Banner Army dies? There is a peaceful solution, but it’s better than blood flowing into a river, right?”
Fang Jie ignored it, and looked at the news sent by Xiaoqi School from Huang Yangdao. Compared with Dajin Ancheng, the changes in Huang Yangdao made him more concerned. He was indeed suspecting that something had happened in Huang Yangdao, and the news secretly verified by Dugu Wenxiu and Cui Zhongzhen also proved that some bad things were happening or about to happen.
In fact, Cui Zhongzhen's plan to get injured was all fake. He returned to Zhuqueshan camp from Xinyang City under the pretext of being injured, and secretly began to follow Fang Jie's instructions. With Dugu Wenxiu's cooperation, he gradually sorted out those things.
Having not been in the Zhuque Mountain camp for so long, Fang Jie was worried that some things would gradually get out of his control. The reason why he didn't bring these things up was because he wasn't sure what the purpose of the person he suspected was.
"My lord, City Lord Ning is good to the people. Unlike other city lords from other places, if the Lord insists on attacking the city, the people will definitely help to defend. Even if the city is broken, what will the Lord get? The most important thing for the Lord since he went south. If you lose the hearts of the people because of the city of Jin'an, the gains outweigh the losses!"
Du Mu was dragged out by the Xiaoqi school, and he turned his head unwillingly and said, "Grandpa, the meaning of my city lord is actually very simple. As long as you retain the status and rights of the city lord, you can get it without a single soldier." Jin An, when the time comes, the city lord will personally take down the flag of Nanyan and replace it with the dragon flag of Sui!"
Fang Jie raised his head and glanced at him, as if curious why this person was so persistent: "When you were lobbying for Ning Hao in various cities, were you not beaten out?"
"have."
Seeing Fang Jie responding to himself, Du Mu quickly broke free from the hand of Xiaoqi School and said, "In Qingyuan, Fu Zhengnan was carried and thrown into the street. I talked outside Fu Zhengnan's gate for three days before I persuaded him to meet again. I, and then promised to write to the imperial court to help City Lord Ning. In Fengping, when I begged to see Zhu Chengtian, his soldiers slapped me three times and made me kneel outside the gate. I just knelt outside for two days and one night. God just saw me."
"Then go and kneel outside."
Fang Jie waved his hand, as if he had lost his interest in talking again. Two Xiao cavalry schools came up to grab Du Mu's arms and dragged him out of the big tent.
Fang Xie was silent for a while and then ordered: "Go and invite Marquis Sanjin to come over, I have something important to discuss."
…
…
Wu Yiyi looked at Fang Jie's face when he entered the door, and seemed a little uneasy. Seeing him come in, Fang Jie smiled and said, "Sit down, I have something important to talk to you about after I approve these matters."
Wu Yidao's complexion was a little ugly, as if he was feeling unwell. He sat down beside him and waited quietly. After Fang Jie dealt with the matter at hand, he ordered someone to send him away, got up and poured Wu a cup of tea. Wu Yidao got up quickly to thank him, and Fang Jie smiled at him, then went to the door and stood with his hands behind his back.
Fang Jie didn't speak, and Wu Yidao didn't know how to speak.
I don't know how long it took before Fang Jie said slowly: "I have been thinking, if I led the army back to Huangyang Road from the northwest, what would happen to me now without the Zhuque Mountain camp that you prepared for me, Lord Hou. Black Flag It is not difficult to lay a foundation in Huangyang Dao, but it is as difficult as going to the sky to develop further."
"At that time, Master Hou's words warmed my heart for a long time."
Fang Jie turned his head and glanced at Wu Yidao: "Master Hou said, when you put all your bets on me, it felt like a fire was burning in my heart."
Wu Yiyi was silent for a while and said, "At that time, it was true."
"What now?"
Fang Jie followed up and asked.
Wu Yidao replied: "It's the same now. Everyone in Hutong Tianxia is working for the Black Banner Army, starting from me."
Fang Jie went back and sat opposite Wu Yidao, paused for a while and said, "Actually, my gratitude to Lord Hou has never diminished. With the strength of Lord Hou and the ability to communicate with the world, no matter who you choose It will fail, and maybe it will be smoother than choosing me. Many of my decisions are contrary to Lord Hou’s ideas, and I know this. Lord Hou has always defended me, and I know this even more.”
Wu Yidao let out a long sigh of relief, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Something happened in the Zhuque Mountain camp, but it has nothing to do with me."
Having said this, Fang Xie knew that there was no need to hide anything.
"Since going south, there seems to be some changes in the camp."
Fang Jie said: "After the death of the big dog, the logistics supply has been handed over to the people of Hutong Tianxia to manage. Recently, the accounts have become more and more strange. So I sent someone to check and found that there are some problems with the accounts of the Zhuque Mountain camp. Then there is the new barracks, many new faces were put in as captains and generals. In the Suzaku Mountain camp, there were personnel transfers in each battalion. Among them, most of the old people were transferred, and new people were added. These new people are all goods. It works all over the world."
Wu Yiyi was silent for a while and said: "I know about this matter, and I'm also looking into it. It's because I don't have a clue yet, so I didn't tell you. After all, this matter is a bit hurtful. I want to find out and then tell you."
"Since Master Hou also knows about this."
Fang Jie thought for a while and said, "Let this matter be handled by Lord Hou... Recently, I asked Cui Zhongzhen to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the battalion. All the newly promoted mid-level officers are in the team going south. Lord Hou can Meet these people."
"My lord."
Wu Yidao thought for a while and said, "The appointment and dismissal of military officers are all documented and reported truthfully. This matter is so obvious that there is obviously nothing taboo about it. In other words, there is no intention to hide this matter from anyone at all. "
Fang Jie nodded: "It is precisely because I thought of this that I invited Lord Hou here."
Fang Jie picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Master Hou thinks, who is it?"
"There is no one else."
Wu Yidao pointed to his nose: "The most suspicious one is me, and then... Luo Weiran."
…
…
Wu Yidao sighed and said, "It's not easy to insert people into the veteran camp of the Black Banner Army who stayed at Zhuqueshan camp. Chen Qianshan, Cui Zhongzhen, and Zhuge Wuyin are all old men of the Black Banner Army, and they are also loyal to the lord. So If you want to insert your own people, the new barracks is the best place to start. Sun Kaidao has always been in charge of the matter in the farmland... This person is also greedy for money, and I am afraid that he was the first to let him go."
Fang Jie nodded.
It was only then that Wu Yidao realized why the Fang Jiehui first emptied Sun Kaidao's rights, then transferred him from Zhuqueshan camp to Yongzhou, and the day after he arrived in Yongzhou, Sun Kaidao was relieved of all his duties and assigned to him. A house for him to retire in Yongzhou. It turned out that at that time, Fang Jie had already noticed something was wrong in the camp of the Black Banner Army Zhuqueshan.
After sorting out his thoughts, Wu Yidao continued: "Sun Kaidao took the money and opened his mouth. Some people began to install people in the new barracks, and the people who were installed seemed to have the best way to go, so this is the most worthwhile job." It must be me who doubts, even if it is me, I will doubt me first."
"but."
He glanced at Fang Jie: "I know about this matter, but it's not me."
Fang Jie hummed, but did not speak.
Wu Yidao continued: "This person deliberately placed my people from Huotong Tianxia as military officers in the new barracks. There are only two possibilities. Another identity. Second, this person knows that it is impossible to easily hold the military power tightly, so he wants the Lord to doubt me. As long as the Black Banner Army and Huo Tong Tian Xing break apart, it will be beneficial to many people."
"From these two points, it seems that only one person is suitable."
He looked into Fang Jie's eyes: "Luo Weiran is the commander of the Ouchi Guards Office. Back then, the Ouchi Guards Office was so powerful that it would be over if they said goodbye... I know that my lord later took over a large number of people from the Ouchi Guards Office." , but there are still more people hiding in the dark. The emperor of the Sui Dynasty frightened the court and the place with the big internal guards. Only two people know how powerful this force is, one is the emperor and the other is Luo Weiran. "
"As for the relationship between Luo Weiran and God Bless Emperor Yang Yi, it seems..."
Fang Jie nodded, but still didn't speak.
In fact, why didn't he know that when Luo Weiran left Chang'an City, he must have had orders from Emperor Yang Yi of the Sui Dynasty. Who this order is, no one knows except himself. Perhaps, even Mu San, who went out of the city with Luo Weiran back then, didn't know. What did the Sui emperor named Yang Yi arrange before he died
A person like him... will never sit still and wait for death, even if he dies, he still has to think about what happens next.
Fang Jie sighed slightly in his heart, whether it was Wu Yidao or Luo Weiran, in fact, he didn't want to touch it.
