When Wu Yiyi, Marquis of Sanjin, arrived at Xinyang City, it was the afternoon of the second day after Fang Jie led his army, and the sky was already a little dark. It could be seen that he had worked hard all the way, and there was a trace of exhaustion in his beautiful eyebrows. It took two months before and after to chase all the way from An County to Xiaosheng Mountain in Huainan Road. It was thousands of miles away. What is the purpose of freedom.
Wu Yidao inquired about it when he entered the city, and learned that Fang Jie was on the city wall to observe the situation of the enemy on the other side, so he went directly to the city.
Du Dingbei stood next to Fang Jie. Although he was wearing the standard armor of the Black Banner Army, the armor could not reveal his official position because he hadn't made any achievements yet. This time Fang Xie boldly used Du Dingbei to fight this battle, and immediately shocked many people with the order. Now there are not a few well-known generals in the Black Banner Army of Xinyang City. Take Li Tai, the deputy commander of the Flying Leopard Army, as an example. He has fought dozens of battles with Fang Xie, but he has not yet won a single command.
But everyone also knows that the battle against Subei Road is not too difficult. Even if there is a mysterious Mr. Xishan in the opposing camp, Sun Yingdian only has 20,000 horsemen, and most of them are equipped with very poor equipment. Difference.
So everyone also speculated that Fang Jie was using this opportunity to test newcomers. If a real general can be discovered because of a not-so-important battle, then the harvest will definitely be greater than winning this battle.
When Wu Yiyi walked halfway, he had basically understood the situation. He was a little surprised to learn that Fang Jie was going to use Du Dingbei brought back from Dongjiang. He has seen that young man, although he can see that this young man is indeed talented, but there are so many talented people in the world, it is not likely that just one person can lead the army.
Fiddling formations on the sand piles and truly leading troops in battle are completely different things. The formations on the beach are based on routines, but in the real battle, everything changes rapidly. Will such an inexperienced person command cause too much loss
When Fang Jie heard footsteps, he turned his head and saw that it was Wu Yidao who came, and then he smiled: "Sanjinhou has traveled thousands of miles, and came to Xinyang again without having time to rest."
Wu Yidao leaned over and saluted, "This subordinate is not doing well, and in the end, he couldn't catch that person."
"It's not that easy."
Fang Jie shook his head and said: "Da Zizai's cultivation base is extremely high, and he came prepared. If someone like him wants to hide his whereabouts, no one will easily find him. You chase all the way to find the whereabouts, which is not easy. Even if I go by myself, I'm afraid I can't do better than you."
Wu Yiyi was not polite, walked up to Fang Jie and glanced at Du Dingbei: "My lord is going to use him?"
Du Dingbei knew San Jinhou's position in the Black Banner Army, so he quickly saluted. Wu Yidao waved his hand, then clasped his fists and said, "My lord loves talents, I understand that nothing will go wrong in this battle, and my subordinates also understand, but after all, the lives and deaths of thousands of soldiers are at stake, isn't my lord a little careless?" ?”
Fang Xie glanced at Du Dingbei and said: "You go and prepare first, I need to discuss with Marquis Sanjin."
Du Dingbei was dissatisfied, but he also knew that San Jinhou's suspicion was not unreasonable. It's not that he didn't think about it, if he and Fang Jie changed places, he would never dare to let a young man who had never led a soldier command the battle.
"The subordinate will leave."
Du Dingbei saluted humbly, and then retreated.
"My lord, although this young man is talented and learned, he is still a bit weaker after all without going through a few times of suffering. My lord wants to use him, why don't you let him watch the battle first?"
Wu Yidao is one of the few people in the Black Banner Army who can speak out his thoughts, because he knows that this is not disrespect from the other party's solution, but respect from the other party's solution.
"I know what you're worried about."
Fang Jie smiled: "However, I have already sent people to publicize this matter. Now the defenders on the other side know that this time I sent a 16-year-old boy who was leading the army for the first time to command the battle across the river. The battle posts have already been sent over, do I still have a chance to go back on my word?"
"My lord... what does this mean?"
Wu Yidao really didn't understand the purpose of Fang Jie's actions. If he humiliated the opponent's general in this way, the opponent would definitely be annoyed, so that the battle would be even more tragic. Originally, Sun, Liu, and Zhao joined forces to resist the Black Banner Army. The three parties would definitely not do their best to preserve their strength at the beginning, but Fang Jie made a battle like this, and the Sun family would definitely become angry. will increase a lot.
"The Sun family brought out an unfilial son, Mr. Xishan, and I will bring out a filial son, Du Dingbei."
He looked at Wu Yiyi and smiled, "Isn't it interesting?"
…
…
Wu Yiyi was relieved after listening to Fang Jie explaining his plan. Fang Jie had never thought of such a strategy. He had already taken precautions, but after Du Dingbei was added, the matter began to get better.
"My lord's thoughts can really kill those on the other side."
Wu Yidao couldn't help but smiled: "Since this is the case, then Du Dingbei's matter has not been publicized enough. Let people spread this matter later, and call on the people to watch the battle from the shore. Let's see if it is our black flag army. The boy Dingbei is the best, but the unfilial son Xishan from Subei Road is the best."
Fang Jie pointed to the opposite bank and said: "The biggest advantage of this place in North Subei Road is that it can be used as a buffer. After Da Zizai took refuge in Yang Jian, the battle between Yang Jian and Luo Tu was already quite obvious. Now I suddenly thought One thing, it is expected that Da Zizai has already planned it."
"What's up?"
Fang Jie said: "Da Zizai deliberately showed his tracks in the southwest, and came to Xiang Qingniu and me. One of the reasons is that he must fight against someone with a good cultivation level when he practices any skills. He can only shed his skin after he is seriously injured. Two, if there is a chance to kill me and Xiang Qingniu, he will naturally not give up. Third, nine out of ten it is to cover for other Buddhist sects. His appearance has attracted our attention. Only people from other Buddhist sects can pass safely...you can kill three birds with one stone, this person's mind cannot be underestimated."
"With the help of Da Zizai and Buddhist sect masters, it is not too difficult for Yang Jian to win Liuzhou. Subei Road will be the battlefield in the future, and I must ensure that the southwest will not be damaged. As long as the southwest is stable, even if it loses once or twice , I still have a foundation."
"My lord is thinking about it."
Wu Yidao thought for a while and said, "I left Liao Sheng on Huainan Road. If there is a decisive battle between Xiaosheng Mountain and Liuzhou City, the news will come back as soon as possible. If a large number of Buddhist sects enter Xiaosheng If it is Shan, the people from the Xiaoqi School will be able to send the news back in time."
Fang Jie nodded: "Sheng Liao is good at doing this, so I will send some people to support later."
"Lord Hou."
After being silent for a while, Fang Jie asked, "Have you ever heard of Da Zizai's perverted cultivation method? Shedding human skin like a snake sheds its skin... I'm afraid his cultivation will improve every time he sheds his skin. This method It’s so unbelievable, I’ve never heard of it.”
Wu Yidao thought for a while and said: "I have never heard of this method, but I have been researching these days, and I vaguely remember that there are ancient books that record the method of reborn, which seems to be somewhat similar to this, but it is only slightly Similar places."
Wu Yiyi said as he recalled: "When the Zheng Dynasty was in the previous dynasty, someone wrote a book called Jianghu Strange Tales, which were all weird stories that couldn't be more bizarre. Some people said that the author made up those things, and some said that Jianghu There is nothing surprising about it, and those things are true.”
"A different story in the world?"
Fang Jie didn't know there was such a book.
Wu Yidao took out a book from his cuff and handed it to Fang Jie: "It's hard to find this book now. I bought it when I saw it at a roadside bookstall by chance when I was in Huainan Road. Because I saw this book, I suddenly remembered that I had read it before, and there was a story in which the person was somewhat similar to the Da Zi Zai exercise."
He turned to a page and handed it to Fang Xie: "Bonebreaker."
Fang Xie took it over and took a look, and found that this strange tale was more like a novel.
Wu Yidao said: "My subordinates have read this book many years ago, and some of them still remember it. This bonebreaker is talking about a strange man in the Western Regions. He was born weak and sick. Once, he accidentally fell off a cliff. Even he himself thought he was going to die. Undoubtedly, as a result, almost all the bones in his body were broken, so he did not die. Not only did he not die, but it was a blessing in disguise. His bones recovered automatically in a short time, and he did not find a doctor to take the bone, and there was nothing wrong with the recovery .”
"After this fall, he found that his body became stronger. He could beat those who bullied him casually. Because he was bullied a lot in the past, he began to take revenge after he became stronger, and injured himself in the local area. Many people, as a result, aroused public outrage and were chased and killed. Those people surrounded him and beat him, and he was covered with bruises. People thought he was going to die. As a result, he got better again and became stronger. After returning, overnight Killed a village."
"He found out that his physique was so special that he ran to jump off a cliff. As a result, he recovered and became extremely powerful. Later, he joined the army and became a famous general in the Western Regions."
Wu Yidao smiled: "But it's just a story, it's not expected to be true."
Fang Jie flipped through it casually, but he didn't think that all the grotesque people in this book were real. Some of them seemed to be real people, but most of them were written in absurd and bizarre way.
"If Da Zizai had such a physique, I'm afraid he would have killed King Dalun Ming long ago."
Wu Yidao thought for a while and said: "It's okay for him to jump off the cliff by himself, and every time he falls, he will be stronger by one point. If he repeats this, King Dalun Ming may not be his opponent long ago."
"If..."
Fang Jie frowned suddenly: "He himself didn't know that he had this kind of physique at first? After feigning death in the Dalun Temple, he escaped from the control of King Dalunming, only to find that he has become stronger than before..."
Wu Yidao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill: "If that's really the case, then he himself discovered the specialness of this physique, I'm afraid he will rush to hurt himself... It's like... he is now That's what it's doing."
Wu Yidao became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and his heart became uneasy: "He left Dalun Temple, kept fighting with others, and then shed his skin again and again, so similar to this Bonebreaker. When his cultivation base is strong When he reaches a certain point, he will find a decisive battle with the world's top practitioners, such as... Luo Tu. For example... Yang Jian?"
Fang Jie was shocked, and muttered to himself: "If that's the case, I also understand why he dared to meet Yang Jian, not afraid that Yang Jian would kill him... because, in the end, he was going to fight someone like Yang Jian... "
