Chapter 186 The Dark Behind the First Battle

Fang Jie's words that he could not be low-key before going upstairs were completely polite. The reason why he chose to appear in Hongxiuzhao on the first day after leaving the secret prison of the Great Inspector's Office was not what he wanted to be low-key. His name has not been floating in Chang'an City for half a year. He needed a high-profile appearance to get himself back to the chat of the people after dinner.

As soon as he entered the Martial Arts Academy, there was no news for half a year. Many people in the court were speculating. The excuse of Fang Jie practicing alone in the back mountain could not deceive everyone. It was just that no one could see the truth, so it was just a guess. Although he had not suffered much in prison for more than half a year, Fang Jie still realized that he had awakened a lot of things. Low-key things are something that those who have achieved great success are what those who have not achieved success want.

How to be high-profile?

What else is more high-profile than appearing in the gold-selling cave of Hongxiuzhao and doing something that others can't do? However, the latter is obviously extremely difficult.

In fact, as soon as he walked into Hongxiuzhao's door, he had already made other guests jealous. The young but noble and elegant young master asked her to go downstairs to greet him in person. Fang Jie might have flirted with her. Immediately after Aunt Xi called Fang Jie to the third floor, which surprised the guests even more. You should know that since Hongxiuzhao opened, there are only a handful of men who can walk to Xi's bedroom.

Fang Jie couldn't get much from Aunt Xi, although he was sure that this woman must know more. But if they didn't say it, Fang Jie couldn't force her.

However, following the words of Aunt Xi, Fang Jie had a new idea. He actually ignored an extremely important news on his way to come. It shouldn't be. Daquan and the others were all Shang people who had been destroyed by the Sui Dynasty. Only Tienu and Ye Xiao were born in the Nanman tribe, but they were also very close to Nanyan.

From this point of view, Fang Xie thought that he was also from Shangguo?

But if we count, there was something wrong with time. When he was born, Da Shang had already destroyed the country for several years. I was sure that he could not be with the Shang royal family. If it were not for the Da Shang royal family, who would have the ability to coerce a group of people to protect him?

Besides, if that man was really a Shang country, the Sui Dynasty would never have been so smooth when the Sui Dynasty destroyed Shang. From the narrative of Dadu and Chen Qingfan, Fang explained that the man's cultivation was probably not as good as the world. Even Luo Yao, the pioneer general who led the army to destroy Shang, would have been much inferior. If that man was really a Shang country, he would not have watched the country be destroyed and the family was destroyed.

The seemingly clear idea is still chaotic.

Fang Jie shook his head and threw away the annoying thoughts.

"Auntie, can you tell me about Prince Zhong?"

He asked.

Xihuamei fiddled with the ashes in the incense burner, and was silent for a while and said softly: "You probably know a lot about his story. Luo Weiran, the commander of the Great Neiwei Department, is his junior brother. Since you are locked up in the Great Neiwei Department, he must have mentioned Prince Zhong a lot to you. What I know is almost the same as what he knows, and I can't tell any new ideas. That has never been a story that can be arranged casually, and he doesn't leave much to people... If you are just curious about him, I don't have to tell you again."

Fang Jie has been in Xihuamei for such a rejection more than once. To be honest, Fang Jie knew that Xihuamei had no special opinion on him. Whether he became rich or decadent, he had nothing to do with her. If it weren't for Prince Zhong's relationship, he would have been afraid that he would not have walked into her room and sat face to face.

Fang Jie was not angry or disgusted.

This is the most normal phenomenon in this world.

If you have enough capital, you are not afraid that others will not pay attention to you. If you are a poor boy who is not accused of nothing, why should you ask a rich family to treat you as a guest? The person who comes and goes to see Xiao Zhenren and the Minister of Rites Huai Qiugong, a young man who has achieved nothing has reached the top of the mountain in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of people like her, he is still standing at the foot of the mountain.

So Fang Jie wisely took back his thoughts of asking him to breathe a song of the candle wick dance, and then stood up and folded his fists: "If the aunt has nothing to do, I will say goodbye first."

"Go"

Xihuamei said lightly: "Your friends are still waiting for you, I will know a little bit. The cost you spend on Hongxiuzhao today is waived, which is also considered as Hongxiuzhao for you to get out of prison for you."

“Thank you”

Fang Jie did not refuse, although he really wanted to refuse.

Everyone has pride.

It just depends on where this pride is to be used.

Fang Jie walked into the room of Huazu, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.

He remembered his feelings in prison again, murmured in his heart that life was like a play, and then he hung a proud smile on the corner of his mouth and walked slowly down the stairs. In the eyes of others, he had just had an extremely harmonious and interesting conversation with Aunt Xi.

So, the guests below were even more jealous.

When he arrived at the second floor, Fang Jie walked to Xiao Dingdian, and sniffed it over and praised: "It is said that women change every time they grow up. When they were in Fan Gu, you still had a fishy smell of milk. Now it's full of beauty."

"Fang Jie! Are you looking for death?!"

Xiao Dingdian gave him a fierce look and blushed.

Fang Jie sat down next to Xiao Dingdian, leaned over and lowered his voice, "I want to talk to you about a business."

Xiao Dingdian was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the upstairs: "Why don't you tell the aunt?"

"Just say it."

Fang Jie sighed slightly, "In front of her, don't talk about business, I can't even speak well. Since you are the ones in charge of Hongxiuzhao now, then I will talk to you the same."

"Aren't I asking the aunt for advice?"

Xiao Ding said, "I really don't know what's wrong with you. When you are thick-skinned, you can't even pierce the wolf teeth arrow. When you are thin-skinned, you are actually as squeamish as a woman!"

"No hurry"

Fang Jie smiled and said, "It will take about a month to discuss this matter slowly."

...

...

A private room was specially released on the second floor, and Fang explained that Luo Weiran was the first. According to official position, Luo Weiran was the highest. By seniority, Luo Weiran was his uncle regardless of whether it was true or false.

Zhuo Buyi and Fang Jie sat next to Luo Weiran. Soon, the order of wine and food was sent. The chef from Hongxiuzhao invited him at a high price, and it was said that he was dug from a very famous restaurant in the capital. The chef's best skills are Jiangnan cuisine, which is less intense and light than northern cuisine.

Fang Xie said that Luo Weiran and others had filled the wine. After filling it up, he picked up the cup and said, "No matter what, I have to say thank you. Without the care of the commander and Mr. Zhuo, I would not have been so comfortable and comfortable in prison. I will do it first!"

He drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and Luo Weiran and others accompanied him.

"You will enter the palace early tomorrow morning. Your Majesty has already ordered you to go to the East Nuan Pavilion to meet you."

Luo Weiran said: "I don't need to give any etiquette to do. Just remember the way of being a minister."

Fang Jie nodded and said, "I understand."

Luo Weiran nodded and poured a glass of wine himself: "The war in the northwest is not satisfactory, and Your Majesty is not happy. This morning, the Northwest Army urgently reported to the Tai Chi Palace. Your Majesty has never left the door all day... The Erlang of the Five Thousand Right Guards went out of the Langrushan Qingxia to fight. Although he killed more than twice the enemy, such a huge loss has not been passed by our Great Sui Dynasty for a long time."

He sighed and said, "When the Da Shang Dynasty was destroyed, hundreds of thousands of troops went south, attacking the city of Yongzhou like a tyrant. General Luo Yao led his troops straight into the Da Shang capital, captured more than a hundred royal families of Shang Kingdom alive, and then killed them all at Caishikou. Only one remnant of the royal family escaped, which was the current Emperor Nanyan Murong Meng. He defeated Dong Chu, and the imperial army attacked in three groups, with an unstoppable force. In less than a month, he captured the nine counties and thirty-one states of the Dong Chu Dynasty, and more than half of the territory became the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty."

"If the five thousand elite soldiers go south, it will be scary enough to kneel down and beg for mercy, but this time... after leaving Qingxia, the first battle with the Mongols will be almost completely lost. Your Majesty was very unhappy and issued an order to pay the dead and wounded soldiers, reprimanding the general Li Yuanshan who was unfavorable to support the support. He instructed Prince Xu and Lord Mou Liangbi to write a detailed memorandum and discuss the faults."

When he heard the destruction of Da Shang, Datu's face changed unnaturally. But he was already drinking with his head down, and no one noticed the strangeness in his eyes. He took a look at them while raising his glass to drink, and found that no one noticed that he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's actually a fierce fight?"

Fang Jie was stunned and naturally thought of the soldiers of the 500 Jingbu Battalion under Li Yuanshan. But then he thought, Li Yuanshan, the elite man, would naturally stay at the most critical moment. If the Jingbu Battalion was thrown out in the first battle, and the strength was similar to the enemy's investigation, it would definitely not be a good thing for future wars.

"It was Li Xiaozong who led the troops to fight for the first time."

After Luo Weiran said this, he took a look at him.

Fang Jie smiled, as if he didn't mind hearing the name at all: "Your Majesty's choice is very wise. In the third year of Li Xiaozong's life in Fan Gu, no one knows the Mongol people in Langrushan better than him. I could guess that he was the one who led the army, so I was surprised... With Li Xiaozong's ability, it seems that he shouldn't have been beaten like this."

Luo Weiran said: "It is reasonable to hear that the general Mandu Lang, the Montenegro Nirvana City, summoned tens of thousands of herders to siege, and the two thousand Mandu flag elite cavalry, were beaten so tragically... In any case, although this battle is not beautiful, it has not lost the reputation of our undefeated battle in the Great Sui Dynasty."

Fang Jie wanted to say something was wrong, but he forced this to hold it back. Although everyone was trustworthy during the meal, some words could not be said casually.

The vanguard army left the canyon to fight the Mongolian Yuan people. Such a fierce battle would not take one or two hours. What about the subsequent troops? Others didn't know, but he knew that Li Yuanshan's right guard had a cavalry! And it was also a powerful heavy armored cavalry. From Fan Gu to the opposite side of Langru Mountain, there would be a maximum of two hours of reinforcements. Why did no reinforcements arrive?

Why was the first battle that should have been fought steadily?

No one on the front line can hold back the scene!

Fang Jie suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but feel shocked.

The emperor sent Prince Xu Yang Kai to take charge of the northwest, and Minister of War, General Mou Liangbi, to take charge of the logistics. It seems that it is not difficult for Yang Kai to convince the public with his royal family. But you should know which generals who were enfeoffed outside are not domineering people? They also have to involve the governors of the three northwest roads. The interests of the relationship between them are complicated! Prince Xu Yang Kai has not participated in the court affairs for a long time, nor has he led troops, and his prestige in the army is no longer high. But Ma Liangbi was only activated by His Majesty before the war, and he was still locked in a prison before, let alone any prestige.

These two people seem to have noble identities, one is king and the other is minister, but they can't suppress the officials at all!

This first battle was so fierce that Li Yuanshan would be punished, and Li Xiaozong would be punished, but the most direct vent of His Majesty's anger was Yang Kai, the prince of Xu!

This is a conspiracy!

Fang Jie's heart suddenly became tight and he couldn't help but feel a strong anger.

If Yang Kai and Mo Liangbi don’t compromise with the officials of the border, such losses will occur, and some may even deliberately defeat the battle! Once the successive situation is unfavorable, the first thing His Majesty wants to do is Yang Kai, Prince Xu. Those generals and the governor have had private contact, how could they let two people who have just started to point fingers?

Your Majesty trusts his ministers so much that he never thought about the conflict of interest in this!

The generals are fighting. If they win, the credit will be on Yang Kai. What if they lose? Of course, the blame will also be on Yang Kai and Mou Liangbi!

When I thought of this, Fang Jie was shocked.

No! It’s not that Your Majesty trusts him too much... Is there anyone behind those generals who are making trouble?
Chapter completed!
