This river is very small, but it is clearly marked on the map printed in the Sui Dynasty, because this is the dividing line between the two rivers and mountains. This side of the river is under the jurisdiction of the Yamen of the Governor of Subei Road, and the other side is the Governor of Jianghuai Road. The site of the yamen. Speaking of it, a governor can be called a big official in the frontier, with extremely powerful power. But after the great chaos that day, there was not a single governor who made a fortune. Instead, they all became a foil for others.
In fact, this is not a strange thing. Although the governor of the Sui Dynasty had great power, he had no military power in his hands. This alone completely restricts those governors, and it is difficult to make a difference.
On the contrary, after the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, each of the generals of the guards and soldiers had a brief period of glory.
Not to mention Luo Yao, the general of the left vanguard, but only other people... Pang Ba, the general of the left front guard, was once placed in high hopes by the Tonggu Academy, and he was going to be picked up by the Tonggu Academy, just like Yang Jian was picked up by the Tonggu Academy more than 200 years ago. . It's just a pity that Tonggu Academy is not as good as it used to be, and there is no one unparalleled in the world like thousands of stars around Pang Ba.
Such as Jin Shixiong, Jin Shiduo. Such as Gao Kaitai, such as Wang Yiqu.
These generals with heavy armies in their hands almost all chose the same path after the chaos in the Sui Dynasty. Instead of helping the court to suppress the rebellion, they were all prepared to fight for the dragon chair by themselves. He is a man who dreams of an emperor in his heart. Even ordinary people would occasionally think about how great it would be if they were the emperor.
War, big waves wash the sand.
Those with strong strength became princes of one side, while those with poor strength but bad luck withdrew from the stage of history early.
Now, in the narrow sense of the Central Plains, there are only three forces that attract the most attention. One is the court troops led by Yang Jian, who swept across the north and south of the Yangtze River with the might of the Iron Armored Army. The second is Wang Yiqu and Gao Kaitai's coalition forces, which have been going smoothly since they started in the northwest, and finally surrounded Chang'an City. The third is Fang Jie's Black Banner Army... This team seems to have been cleverly avoiding everyone's sight, and is developing steadily in the southwest. It was only when people started to pay attention to the Black Banner Army that they were surprised to find out , this army already has the strength to compete for supremacy in the world.
Accumulate slowly, nothing more than that.
Six miles to the east of Guyuan City, this small river is called Lankuo River.
Because the river is not wide, there is not even a boatman for the ferry. Every few tens of miles, a stone bridge is built on the river. Most of them were built during the Chen Dynasty, which shows how hard the stone bridge was built at that time. It has not collapsed after hundreds of years, and it is still as strong as ever.
Not far to the west of the small river is Guyuan City, while on the east side of the small river is an endless field. Such scenery is actually rare in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many water villages in the south of the Yangtze River, and the waterways are criss-crossing. The east side of the river is called Jiuzhangyuan, and the origin of the name can no longer be found.
At least 3,000 armored troops gathered on the east side of the river at dawn, and the leading generals rode horses back and forth by the river. Because Mosa died in battle, Yang Zhong took over almost all of the Iron Armored Army.
On the other side of the river, 5,000 fine cavalry were waiting in full force.
This time Fang Jie mobilized almost all the elites of the Black Banner Army, which was the largest operation since the establishment of the Black Banner Army. These 5,000 fine cavalry came from the Flying Lion Army, one of the five flying cavalry built by Fang Jie when he first established the Black Banner Army. Xiahou Baichuan was the main general, and Lang Chengdong was the deputy general.
At this time, standing in front of the battle on horseback was Xiahou Baichuan who had made great achievements in battle.
After recovering from the injury, he became more calm.
Xiahou Baichuan glanced at the raised yellow umbrella on the other side of the river and couldn't help but let out a cold snort from his nose. If he was still in absolute awe of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty before the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, today, he is not afraid of the so-called The Great Sui Emperor no longer had the slightest fear or respect.
When Huang Luosan arrived, Yang Jian, who had lived for more than two hundred years and was still alive, also arrived.
Although the news that members of the Buddhist sect helped revive the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty has been widely spread, the news is not recognized by most people. Especially ordinary people and soldiers, who would believe that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who had been dead for more than 200 years and whose portrait had been hung in the ancestral temple for more than 200 years, would be resurrected
unbelievable
Seeing that Yang Jian had arrived on the other side, Xiahou Baichuan urged his horse to go back.
Fang Jie was sitting at the back of the line, concentrating on grilling meat. It had been a long time since he became the Duke of the state, and he hadn't grilled meat himself for a long time. Today, the weather is sunny and sunny, and the autumn is high and refreshing. Fang Jie had a whim, ordered people to prepare things, and set them up behind the army formation to entertain himself.
"My lord, Yang Jian has arrived."
Xiahou Baichuan got off his horse, clasped his fists and said.
"Um."
Fang Jie nodded: "No rush, let me roast this leg of lamb first."
Xiahou Baichuan smiled, knowing in his heart that Fang Jie did it on purpose. Regardless of whether the soldiers of the Black Banner Army believed that the man on the other side was the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Fang Xie couldn't show weakness. It seemed that he was a little unscrupulous in the barbecue at the back of the battle, but it was actually to calm down the morale of the army. Seeing that he didn't care about the legendary founding emperor at all, the soldiers would naturally relax in their hearts.
At this moment, there was a shout from the other side.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, summon the general of the Black Banner Army, and the Duke of Zhen Guo will meet you!"
"puff."
Xiang Qingniu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "This is Yang Jian's recognition of your status? But why do I find it so ridiculous?"
"Teach you a new word... You can describe this kind of behavior as funny."
Fang Jie smiled and said.
"A funny guy?"
Xiang Qingniu's face turned red, and he glanced blankly: "Rogue beast!"
Fang Jie was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself, why are you a rascal? Then he suddenly realized that people in this world must have a different understanding of Doubi from his previous life... As long as the second word is involved, people will inevitably be misunderstood.
Fang Jie smiled sarcastically: "I'm sorry... I forgot that you didn't tease me..."
…
…
Yang Jian's face was a bit ugly, Fang Jie's behavior was not only disrespectful to him, but also provocative. As the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, how could he tolerate other people's provocations? But he didn't attack immediately, but took a deep breath, then stood up, and walked slowly towards the stone bridge.
"Send someone over there. Since Lord Zhen is not willing to come over, then I will go over in person."
Da Zizai, who followed Yang Jian, smiled, and looked down at the new clothes on himself, with dissatisfaction on his brows. Although Yang Jian announced that Fozong had surrendered to him, because Fozong's reputation in the Central Plains was too bad, Yang Jian asked Da Zizai to change all the white monk clothes.
At this time, Da Zizai was wearing a purple brocade robe, and the cassock also went away.
Purple, in the official circles of the Sui Dynasty, represented a high status.
However, Da Zizai feels a bit nondescript no matter what. When I thought that I came here because of certain things, I still had to humble myself to someone like Yang Jian. How could I be so arrogant as him? It's just that he didn't dare to object to those things, so he had to wrong himself.
Yang Jian wants to show his strength everywhere, so even in things like changing clothes and dressing freely, he can't violate it a little bit. He looked at the uneasiness on Da Zizai's face, and felt a little complacent in his heart.
"Where is the solution to the government of the country?"
Two groups of armored soldiers came over first, and stood separately on the left and right. The leader of them shouted: "Come and pick you up!"
He shouted twice, but no one paid him any attention. Even the cavalrymen of the Black Banner Army looked at him like monsters, which made the general feel extremely awkward. Since when did the four characters of Emperor Sui lose their majesty and inviolability in the past
Yang Jian stood by the stone bridge, although he was annoyed, he didn't express anything. He waved his hand to signal for a chair to be brought over, and sat down by the stone bridge and waited.
It took another half an hour before Fang Jie came to do his best.
Two soldiers of the Black Banner Army put down a low table in front of Yang Jian, and then freed a chair for Fang. Fang Jie wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth, and cupped his fists towards Yang Jian: "I have seen Your Majesty."
Yang Jian didn't seem to mind Fang Jie's sloppiness at all, and asked with a smile, "Are you sure I'm you?"
This is a bit of a mouthful, and the meaning is a bit complicated.
"uncertain."
Fang Jie shook his head and sat down on the chair: "If Shengtu is sitting opposite me, I will also say hello like this. As the king of a country, you always have to show some face."
Yang Jian raised his brows slightly, suppressed his anger and smiled: "I have long heard that Lord Zhen is young and promising, and he is calm and experienced. Are you a fake? Why are you so frivolous?"
Fang Jie asked seriously: "What does Your Majesty think is true and what is false?"
Yang Jian pointed to the sky and pointed to himself: "What I said is unquestionable, so it is all true. Apart from this, everything can be suspected to be false."
Fang Jie shook his head, took out a brocade silk from his pocket and put it on the low table: "But I think that if this thing is announced to the world, it will be more convincing than His Majesty's words."
Yang Jian glanced at the brocade, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Why didn't I know that you stole her from Chang'an? The reason why I turned a blind eye was because she was not important. Apart from myself, my descendants are not important. You don't know how many generations it is if you take a piece of it." Do you think it is useful to write things written by later generations?"
Fang Jie smiled: "I don't know if it's useful or not, but you must be uncomfortable, Your Majesty. I feel quite comfortable if you feel a little uncomfortable... I don't have any affection for the men of the Yang family. So it's best for you, Your Majesty." It’s better to change your attitude, otherwise there’s really not much to talk about.”
"I came to see you because I think you are a rare talent."
Yang Jian's voice turned cold.
Fang Jie leaned back: "I'm not working hard to let you recognize me as a talent. It's not just you, Your Majesty, I'm working hard only for the people I care about."
"Do you really think that you are qualified to sit on an equal footing with me now?"
Yang Jian asked.
Fang Jie couldn't help laughing: "I'm just sitting here."
The corner of Yang Jian's mouth twitched, suppressing the surging anger: "I originally wanted to give you a chance. If you are willing to surrender to me, you will leave your name in history and live forever."
"It's not bad, but it's not impossible."
Fang Jie said, "But... I have one condition."
Yang Jian asked: "What conditions?"
Fang Jie pointed to Da Zizai who was standing not far behind: "Can you kill him now? If you can, I will do it with you in the future."
Yang Jian turned his head and glanced at Da Zizai, his expression fluctuating.
"Fang Jie...don't miss your own future."
"Because I care about my future, I won't kneel down and say long live when I see you as you think... Your Majesty, you don't think it's disgusting to have such a person by your side, but I can't stand it. People are very simple and straightforward, if His Majesty kills him, I will hand over the Black Banner Army to you, how about it?"
The expression on Yang Jian's face was so wonderful that his fists were gradually clenched.
"Hello!"
Fang Jie shouted at Da Zizai: "The new clothes are not bad, does Dalun Mingwang know?"
