Zhu Chutian left the city wall and went back to the city lord's mansion, without instructions on what to do. He handed over the garrison at the east gate to Yu Xiao, so he would not assign anything at will. This is a kind of trust from the boss to the subordinates, even if this trust is not absolute. Zhu Chutian, who has been in a high position for his whole life, knows better than most people how to be a good leader. He said that he would hand over the defense of the east city to Yu Xiao, and he would not show any doubt. Smart people know that it is better to keep this kind of doubt in their hearts before they are not going to reveal it.

Some people have achieved some small achievements and become accustomed to giving guidance to the country. When they go to any subordinate department, they must immediately intervene in the work. Such a boss will only get dissatisfaction from his subordinates. If you put your doubts on the surface, then the fall will be really not far away.

After Zhu Chuantian left, Yu Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he realized that his back was covered with sweat. The Black Flag Army outside had retreated. Since there was no chance to open the city gate, there was no need to stay. But this time, the Black Flag Army's offensive was not on the swords and guns. The Black Flag Army general who scolded him was not poisonous. He attacked not the city, but the hearts of the people.

He is provoking the relationship between Zhu Chuangtian and Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao noticed this at the first time, so he was acting, but he didn't know if the scene he was acting had deceived Zhu Chuantian.

That's right, he came to surrender to Zhu Chutian and never planned to work hard for Zhu Chutian. He only regarded Feng Ping as a springboard to prepare for the future. So he had been careful to hide his talents and insights, and sometimes pretending to be reckless. For example, just now, he could use his eloquence to scold the Black Flag Army general under the city, but he chose to pretend to be angry and tremble.

He wanted Zhu Chuantian to think he was really angry, but he knew that Zhu Chuantian was not easy to deceive.

Looking at the team of the Black Flag Army outside the city, Yu Xiao clenched his fists hard and swore in his heart.

"Fang Jie! I will never allow the things I am about to get to be taken away by you, nor will you let you climb onto my head again. Feng Ping is mine, and I will fight back to Chang'an to avenge the Yu family in the future. No one can destroy my plan, no one can do it!"

...

...

"The General knows the man on the wall?"

Chen Xiaoru asked.

Fang Jie nodded: "You know each other, too."

"oh?"

Chen Xiaoru was stunned for a moment: "I didn't recognize him."

"This person is called Yu Xiao."

Chen Xiaoru quickly remembered after hearing this name: "I remember that he was the son of Yu Manlou, the general of the Sixth Army of the Sixth Army of Emperors in Chang'an City. He was once a romantic figure in Chang'an City, but this person was already a dead person in the archives of the Da Nei Escort and the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice. It seems that the liquidation in Chang'an City was not complete. Someone helped him escape and then found someone to be a scapegoat."

Fang Jie nodded: "This is not important. This person has real talent and knowledge. What is important is that he will definitely help Zhu Chuantian defend Fengping. He is well aware of the training of the Great Sui army, so he is very clear about our methods of siege. When he surrounded the reinforcements of Fengping in the valley and sent to Qingyuan City, I felt that this team was a little different from the Nanyan army, but I didn't care at that time. Now, thinking about it, Fengping's people used the battle formation changes of the Great Sui army, but they were just not proficient, and the transformation was very rough. It seems that Yu Xiao had been helping Zhu Chuantian train troops in Fengping."

Wei Xiting, who had already arrived with the brigade of men, thought for a while and said, "My subordinates have also heard of this person's name. His father Yu Manlou is known as the top three generals of the Sixteen Guards of the Great Sui Dynasty. If he obtained the true teachings of Yu Manlou, he would definitely have great achievements in leading the troops."

Fang Jie nodded: "The most important thing is that there are no ones from us in Fengping City."

He said with some regret: "At the time when there was insufficient staff, there was a group of the Xiaoqi School, who was mixed with refugees. Because Fu Zhengnan intercepted the people and stayed in Qingyuan, it has to be said that it was a lucky thing to take Qingyuan. Murong Yongduo sent someone to send the abducted people back to Dali. Qingyuan did not leave Fengping, so our people had no chance to enter. Most of the Xiaoqi Schools should have been taken to Dali City. Without internal support, Fengping is more difficult to fight than Qingyuan."

"General"

Chen Xiaoru hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why don't we ignore Feng Ping? From Qingyuan City, you can go south to attack Peicheng Jin'an, and then go straight to Dali. Whether Feng Ping fights or not seems to affect the overall situation."

Fang Jie shook his head: "If you destroy Nanyan, you will not leave a city. If you bypass a city because it is difficult to fight, I finally let the soldiers regard every battle as a decisive battle and the morale of fighting will gradually dissipate. If you encounter difficulties, you will go around. This is not a solution."

"I understand."

Chen Xiaoru bowed his head to the point.

"Since you can't be smart, just fight openly."

Fang Jie's tone increased a little when he explained this, so that everyone following him could hear it, and then continued to order: "Order the army to set up camp at Fengping East Gate Ten Miles, waiting for subsequent siege equipment. The speed of the baggage battalion is slower, so that Xiahou's cavalry can protect it, so that no accidents will happen."

"Chen Xiaoru, follow me."

Fang Jie gave an order and then walked over to the side. Chen Xiaoru knew that Fang Jie had something to do and wanted to give him a separate order, so he quickly accelerated his pace to follow.

"You can choose a few of the best skilled people in the Knight School to follow you, and immediately rush back to Qingyuan City, choose some precious jewelry and treasures from Qingyuan City's warehouse to bring them with you. Don't be stingy, bring more, and rush to Peicheng immediately."

"Go to Peicheng?"

Chen Xiaoru was puzzled: "The general made it clear, what should I do when I go to Peicheng?"

Fang Jie gave a few instructions in his ear, and Chen Xiaoru's eyes lit up immediately: "The General's plan is really wonderful!"

Fang Jie smiled and said, "The flattery is not good, and the salary will not increase you... You act carefully and me will only be relieved if you leave this matter to you. Only by not solving the identity matter, you should think of more solutions. This matter should not only be done well but also quickly, so you have to choose a few suitable people to start, the faster you do it, the better."

"I understand!"

Chen Xiaoru nodded: "I'll pick someone back to Qingyuan now."

Fang Jie nodded, called a confidant and gave a few instructions, asking him to bring his token back to the Zhuque Mountain Camp of Huangyang Road.

...

...

The third day of the encirclement

Dugu Wenxiu, who came from Huangyangdao, finally caught up with the team. He didn't bother to change his clothes and entered Fang Jie's tent in a dusty manner.

"Lord, I'm late, please punish me."

After he entered the door, he gave a big gift. Fang Jie hurried over and helped him up. He called him "Lord, not the General", which was naturally profound. I don't know if Fang Jie didn't hear it clearly or didn't care about this detail, but it led to the people of the Black Flag Army who later changed Fang Jie's title to these two words. There is no doubt that although there is nothing unusual about the change in the title on the surface, everyone knows that when the title changes, the status will also change.

Wu Yidao, the Dugu Wenxiu, once said afterwards that the talent and wisdom of Dugu Wenxiu lies in that he knew when to do what, and did it naturally. Although Fang Jie's current identity is still a general of the Black Flag Army of the Great Sui Dynasty, he has the title of the Great Sui court. In fact, he has long been a prince.

Dugu Wenxiu highlighted Fang Jie's status in this way, which shows his cleverness.

"I'm tired of you, how could I punish you? Huang Yangdao's side had just finished catching Xinyang and transferred you over, and didn't allow you to rest for a few days. Isn't it too exhausted to ride along the way?"

Fang Jie asked Dugu Wenxiu to sit down and talk.

Dugu Wenxiu sat down with her body and said, "I didn't feel tired, but I was afraid that it would delay my lord's major affairs."

Fang Jie nodded: "Let me talk about the situation on Huangyang Road first."

Dugu Wenxiu said: "After receiving the secret letter from the lord, General Cui began to prepare. General Cui was injured and returned to Zhuqueshan camp. General Chen and General Cui led his army to attack Xinyang. The city was broken in five days. In fact, the people in Xinyang City were already panicked. Luo Tu had no reinforcements. Everyone knew that Xinyang's lonely city could not last long. After the city was broken, Tian Xin was beheaded, and all Xinyang defenders were separated and reorganized by their subordinates. More than 10,000 of the troops brought by their subordinates this time were Xinyang defenders. Now Chen Duanshan guarded Xinyang to guard against Luo Tu's troops."

Fang Jie nodded and did not interrupt.

Dugu Wenxiu continued: "General Cui returned to Zhuque Mountain, everything was in the lord's plan. Now the matter in the camp should be almost done, just waiting for the lord's order."

Fang Jie nodded: "This matter can only be on guard against it first. It is good to prevent problems before it happens. You all do well. I am not in Huangyang Road, and I rely on you all."

"Don't worry, lord, since you are prepared for the matter in the camp, there will be no major mistakes."

"I can trust you."

Fang Jie nodded.

Dugu Wenxiu said: "Just..."

He hesitated for a moment, looked at Fang Jie's face and lowered his voice and said, "I was really shocked when I received the secret letter from the lord. If it weren't for the lord's reminder, I wouldn't really care about these things. After receiving the secret letter, I began to send people to investigate secretly, and the more I checked, I became more frightened... However, it seems that the other party has no direct goal, but it is just preparing. But this preparation makes people feel even more uneasy."

Fang Jie shook his head: "I asked you to investigate and arrange for you to do things. Isn't it a conflict in my heart? But this matter is too big and it is related to the future of more than 100,000 soldiers of the Black Flag Army. I have to be careful."

"Master"

Dugu Wenxiu took out an envelope from her arms and sealed the fire lacquer: "This was something that my subordinates cooperated with the people from the Knight School some time ago. They are all here after they return to the general manager. They dare not hand it over to others, so they can only submit it to their lord in person."

Fang Jie took the envelope but did not open it immediately.

"Is Yinyu okay?"

He suddenly asked.

"Fortunately, I'm still in the Zhuque Mountain Camp, but I don't see any smile every day. Originally, my subordinates were thinking about going south to invite her to come with me, but then I thought that if my subordinates were here, if my subordinates brought her rashly, it would be hard to explain to me. After all, the battlefield was extremely dangerous. If there was any mistake, my subordinates would be able to die. "

"Let her stay on the mountain."

Fang Jie's tone was a little sad: "You go back and rest first, come to the big tent to discuss matters tomorrow morning. I have already made a mistake in the battle against Fengping. If you come to discuss tomorrow, you will find out what other mistakes there are. I will take down Nanyan as soon as possible, and then clean up the southwest roads... A big era is coming, very soon, very fierce."
