As soon as the news of the black flag army's massive entry into North Subei Road came, the anger in Yang Jian's heart burst out uncontrollably. If it is said that as the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he could not tolerate anyone who caused troubles in the Sui Dynasty, then Yang Jian still had a little appreciation for Fang Xie.
What Fang Xie did after arriving in the southwest has now spread throughout the Central Plains. It has to be said that he went south to pacify the rebellion of foreign enemies in Yongzhou, slaughtered the He people, and destroyed Nanyan. These actions were very different from the actions of other powerful forces. While other forces were thinking about how to strengthen themselves, Fang Jie ran to the south to resist the barbarians in an incomprehensible manner.
For this alone, Yang Jian felt that Fang Jie was a different person. Yang Jian was able to use the support of Tonggu Academy two hundred years ago to use Wan Xingchen's desire to change the world to decide Ding Zhongyuan, which shows that this person has a very deep mind. Yang Jian has a clear understanding of what kind of people must be eradicated and what kind of people can be drawn in.
In Yang Jian's view, Fang Jie is one of the people who can try to win him over.
Firstly, it was because Fang Jie had never raised an anti-flag since he raised his army. Second, after analysis, Yang Jian felt that the reason why Fang Xie raised his army was not to fight for supremacy, but mostly to protect himself.
Yang Jian felt that such a person was between the two extremes. If you show favor, you may take Fang Jie for your own use. If it is persecuted, it is possible to force Fang Xie to death.
So Yang Jian had thought a long time ago that after the decisive battle with Shengtu was over, he would meet the most admirable young man in the two hundred years of the Sui Dynasty. In the world of Central Plains, whether it is a wealthy gentry or a commoner, Fang Xie is now recognized as the leader of the younger generation.
At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, there were so many famous young talents from all over the country, most of them disappeared after the war started. Some have fallen ahead of time, some have become unknown, and Fang Jie was not the brightest star among the many big stars at the time, but now he has entered the bright moon compared to those famous handsome men and is compared to fireflies.
Who dares to say that Fang Jie is not the first person of the younger generation
Acting on the southwestern half of the country, he controls hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
This kind of power, even if you look at the whole world, it seems that no one can match it.
Yang Jian even thought that if he didn't kill Fang Xie and put the war in the southwest, even if he had an armored army, he might not be able to win easily. In his heart, Fang Xie has always had a higher status than Sheng Tu. Even though, in Yang Jian's eyes, Fang Xie's cultivation was no match for Sheng Tu.
If Fang Xie can be used for his own use, it will definitely be a great thing for the restoration of the Great Sui River and Mountain. If he can get the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Black Banner Army, let alone sweep Jiangnan, even the Northwest and Northeast, Yang Jian has the confidence to wipe them out.
But Fang Jie disappointed him.
At least 200,000 black armor elites crossed Luoshui and entered Subei Road in mighty force. This sign only shows one problem... that is, Fang Jie regards Yang Jian as an enemy.
Da Zizai glanced at Yang Jian's face, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Your Majesty... this young man named Fang Jie doesn't seem to know how to look at the general situation of the world, and his vision is too limited. I think that most of these people are stubborn. , there is no persuasion, there is only one extinction."
Yang Jian tilted his head and glanced at Da Zizai, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Don't you Buddhist sects pay attention to doing things with the utmost kindness? Why are you so hostile when you open your mouth?"
Da Zizai said: "Because I met Fang Jie before asking to see His Majesty."
He said in a calm tone: "I thought, if I come to see Your Majesty, it is better to bring a meeting gift to show my sincerity. What is worse than persuading an army to surrender to Your Majesty? However, Fang Jie seems to be not at all interested in my proposal. I don't care, but I want to kill Chen... In the southwest, Chen and Fang Jie had a battle."
"oh?"
Yang Jian became interested, and couldn't help asking: "Two hundred years after my Great Sui Dynasty, what is the cultivation level of a person who can be compared with Li Xiao?"
"Not bad."
Da Zizai's comment is just two words, but it is not easy for him to give these two words.
"However... because of this, I think that Fang Xie can't win over this person, but can only get rid of him."
"Why?"
Yang Jian asked.
Da Zizai seemed to be sorting out his words, and after a while he said: "Your Majesty... a person has a suspenseful background, has encountered many hardships, and was considered unpracticable by everyone at the beginning, but he did not give up, but kept working hard. In the struggle, from a small pawn in the frontier army who is looked down upon by others, to a tycoon with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. From a waste who cannot cultivate to a master with good cultivation... How could this be possible if there is no obsession in my heart? ?”
There was nothing belittling in his tone, but it sounded like Fang Jie admired him a lot: "How can a person with obsession in his heart be easily swayed?"
Yang Jian pondered for a while and then shook his head: "In any case, this person is very important to Da Sui, and may become more important in the future. I want to meet him and persuade him. You say he doesn't understand the big picture, doesn't understand If there is no general trend, then I will show him a clear path. Let me see with my own eyes what his obsession is."
"What is it?"
Da Zizai smiled, as if he didn't understand what Yang Jian said.
"A man, as he stands higher and higher..."
Da Zizai said slowly: "The world I see is completely different from the beginning. Dare I ask Your Majesty, has there been any change in your heart before and after you set up an army to conquer the world?"

Subei Road
Guyuan City
This is already the easternmost side of North Subei Road, and Jianghuai Road is opposite the small river that can be seen from the city wall. The Black Banner Army is marching day and night, and now it is only a river away from Jianghuai Road. On the other side of the river, which is not wide, you can see Sui soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Fang Jie stood on the city wall and looked over there for a while, with a serious expression on his face. Yang Jian's men and horses have already set up camp on the east side of the river. It seems that the number of men and horses is not less than 100,000. According to reports from the scouts, the leader of that team was named Zheng Duofu, who was once a general of the Great Sui Warriors, and was later reused by Yang Jian. Some of the 100,000 troops under his command are the Sui army, and more than half are the victorious and defeated troops recruited in Liuzhou.
"Zheng Duofu..."
Chen Xiaoru opened a booklet in his hand and found Zheng Duofu's name: "It used to be General Wei, the left leader of the Sui Dynasty, from the third rank. When Tonggu Academy strongly supported the rebellion of the guards in the south of the Yangtze River, the former General Wei of the left leader Pang Ba led the army to the north, and after Pang Ba was killed by Luo Yao, Zheng Duofu happened to be stationed outside the main camp with an army. Luo Yao took Pang Ba's army for his own use, and Zheng Duofu did not dare to go Instead, he led his troops into the mountains to observe the situation. Later, Yang Jian led the Iron Armored Army out of Chang'an, defeated Luo Yao, and Zheng Duofu immediately defected to Yang Jian."
"Of his troops, more than 20,000 of them were the elite left-leading guards of the Great Sui Dynasty. They were brave and good at fighting. Most of the remaining troops were the defeated soldiers of Shengtu's troops who surrendered in Liuzhou. Most of these defeated soldiers were the troops of the two brothers Jin Shixiong and Jin Shiduo. The battle strength is limited. The Iron Armored Army general Mosa was killed by Sheng Tu in the battle, and Zheng Duofu's status immediately became higher."
After listening to Chen Xiaoru, Fang Jie nodded and asked, "Is there any conflict between the enemy and us?"
Nalan Dingdong, who was the first to lead the troops here, shook his head: "Yang Jian obviously made a confession, so Zheng Duofu's men have never had any conflicts with our people, even if we meet across the small river, there is no enemy or us." Contact. It can be seen that Zheng Duofu's army is quite strict, and those who were born as generals in the Sui Dynasty should not be underestimated."
Fang Jie nodded.
"Yang Jian asked me to meet by the river..."
He looked at the river and said, "There's no need to guess what his intentions are."
He was holding a piece of brocade silk with many words written densely on it. This is an appeal against rebellion written by the Eldest Princess Yang Qinyan. Fang Jie hasn't sent someone to announce it to the world.
Because of this matter, the eldest princess Yang Qinyan and Fang Jie have had disputes more than once recently. Yang Qinyan has been asking Fang Jie to inform the world as soon as possible, declaring that Yang Jian is a fake, a traitor who seeks to usurp the throne. But Fang Jie has not done so yet because he needs Yang Jian's attitude.
The matter in Eastern Xinjiang always affects Fang Xie's heart.
"The subordinates think it's better not to see each other."
Wu Yidao persuaded: "Yang Jian is vicious, and now that Da Zizao and him are together, it is impossible to guess what tricks the two of them will come up with. Once these two plan to meet the Lord, I'm afraid... "
There was concern in his tone.
Undoubtedly, in the world of Central Plains, if Yang Jian's cultivation base and Da Zizai's cultivation base join hands, I'm afraid there is really no one who can resist.
"See you or see you."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Mu Guangling is fighting against foreign enemies in the east alone, and the situation will get worse every day. Yang Jian is the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty. He should know better than anyone else who is the real enemy and who is the leader of the Sui Dynasty." Gravedigger, it is difficult to allow foreigners to break through the Eastern Frontier and then clean it up."
"But he... may not believe it."
Wu Yidao persuaded: "If Yang Jian is his subordinate, he may not believe in the lord. Even if he does, he would not dare to lead troops to the eastern border. Once he leaves, all the places he fought so hard will be lost, and his last I am more worried about you, my lord. If he does not move, and my lord rushes to the eastern border with troops, then Yang Jian will definitely lead his troops to attack the southwest... This is an unsolvable situation. The subordinates know that the lord wants to go to the eastern border to help Mu Guangling, but There is a Yang Jian in the middle... This road is absolutely impossible."
"Before everything fails, there is hope. And this matter is more worth taking the risk."
Fang Jie's behavior style has always been like this, Wu Yiyi can be sure that if someone else takes Fang Jie's position, he will never worry too much about Eastern Xinjiang. And after experiencing the battle with the He people in southern Xinjiang and the battle with Nanyan, Wu Yiyi knew very well that Fang Jie's thinking was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"If there is no complete preparation, the subordinates can only disobey and disobey."
Wu Yiyi shook his head: "My lord, how can you easily get involved in danger now?"
Fang Jie suddenly remembered what the man in white said before he left, and then he smiled: "Maybe... I was born in this world for certain things."
Wu Yidao asked what they wanted to ask, but Fang Jie had stopped talking.

northwest
Fan Gu
Wolf Milk Mountain Canyon
When the man in white walked to the mouth of the canyon, he saw the stone wall. He knew that it was built by Fang Jie and his people. Now that there are no guards on the stone wall, there is no doubt that if Meng Yuan has the strength to attack at this time, he will definitely invade. In the current Central Plains, the two words "powerful" and "powerful" have gradually drifted away.
on the hill
A sheep-herding doll looked at the man in white curiously, thinking how could this man be so beautiful? Before the baby had time to look at the man in white, he realized that the man in white was gone. He just took a step forward and disappeared without a trace. The shepherd boy rubbed his eyes, and murmured, could it be that he was dazzled
the other side of the canyon
The figure of the man in white appeared in a trance, then took another seemingly casual step, and he disappeared again.
The moment he entered the grassland.
There seems to be something strange in the sky.
"You thought I'd come back?"
The man in white looked up at the sky, lost his mind: "I walked out from here, and now I am walking back. I didn't realize it for so many years here. It turns out that there is really something in nothingness. That day under the mulberry tree in Wudao Mountain... The thing I picked up seems to be finally finding its provenance. Wait for me, let me see what you are... "
