Chapter 884: The little monk came from thousands of miles away
North Sudao
Weicheng
The helmsman of several families gathered together, his faces were solemn and solemn. They gathered together because the Black Flag Army suddenly broke into North Sudao. It had been a whole day, but they had not yet reached any result. In terms of face, the Black Flag Army came here like this, and the soldiers below were watching it, so they just let it go. However, if the guys who were raiding weapons and fired a fight with real swords and guns, who knows if this was the Black Flag Army's plan?
The people from the Liu family frowned and shook their heads: "You said you wanted to fight, but I don't object. After all, it's about our face. If we endure it, the morale of the army will be affected. I will only say one thing..."
He glanced at everyone and said, "Don't you think this is a plan that Fang Jie came up with?"
He said with some concern: "If you pretend to send someone to cross the river to hunt down some fugitives, and force us to use a knife to kill people, he has an excuse to launch troops on our North Su Road! Southwest Five Roads, North Hui Road, South Hui Road, Huangyang Road, Yongbei Road, Ping Shang Road, and now there is a Nanyan that has been flattened by Fang Jie, which has been renamed Yunnan Road. How many murders will occur every day in such a large area? It is said that the Xiaoqi School is like Fang Jie's personal military camp and has great power. Will they send such a large group of people to cross the river for a fugitive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The Zhao family said angrily: "What do you think you should do? Could it be that you can endure it so much? A group of soldiers with swords blatantly entered North Sudao, thinking we were blind?"
"No one thinks we are blind."
The people from the Liu family sighed and said, "If Fang Jie really had plans to launch troops in North Su, he would have hoped that our eyes would be particularly good!"
The Sun family hesitated for a while and said, "In fact, this is not unreasonable. Now the imperial court has chased Luo Tu to Liuzhou. Jin Shixiong's men have just crossed the river and chased the imperial court and rushed to Liuzhou. How many troops are there in our North Sudao? With the soldiers in your hands, can we block the Black Flag Army? Now, there is no imperial court, no Jin family, and no Luo Tu's men. It is a good time for the Black Flag Army to launch troops."
"Why did he come early and not come late and he did not come late and he had to come when the troops from the three sides gathered in Liuzhou and North Sudao? In my opinion... This is really the drunkard's intention is not to drink. What we should think now is why Fang Jie should move troops against North Sudao... Then the three sides will decide the winner sooner or later, no matter who wins and where to fight next? It is naturally the southwest!"
He stood up and said, "The southwest is such a large territory, and it is also a land of fish and rice. When the Sui Dynasty was strong, nearly 40% of the treasury income came from the southwest! Fang Jie finally stood firm in the southwest and looked at his feet. Will it be easy for people to get involved? I guess he wanted to launch troops on North Su Road, with the goal of putting the battlefield outside the southwest."
The people from the Zhao family were stunned: "What you mean is that Fang Jie doesn't want to start a war at his own home, so he will treat our North Su Road as a battlefield? No matter who wins the three parties, he will fight the winners in North Su Road. Even if he is defeated, what is destroyed is not the foundation of his southwest!"
"Eight out of ten, it should be like this."
The people from the Liu family nodded: "So, I mean, don't give him this opportunity!"
The Sun family nodded, "Isn't this just a bit bad on the face? Is the news strictly blocked, how many people can know? As long as the cavalry schools under Fang Jie are not making too fierce on our territory, let them do it."
"By the way"
The people from the Liu family suddenly remembered something: "I heard that Fang Jie's subordinates were going to Mobi Pavilion. Could it be that they wanted to win over the masters of the martial arts world? Jiangshan's cultivation is one of the best in our North Sudao. If he can pull him over, almost no one in the green forests of North Sudao is willing to go against Fang Jie."
"Prevent problems before they happen."
The Sun family stood up: "I'll go to Mobi Pavilion to meet Jiangshan in person, after all, we still need him."
“Okay”
The other two stood up and said, "In order to prevent any sudden incidents, it is better for you and me to put together the troops and set up defenses along the Luoshui River on the west side of North Sudao. Although we don't have many troops in our hands, we should be sure to defend it with Luoshui as a barrier."
"Come on the go back!"
The three of them discussed for a long time, but they didn't know that they were all wrong, and what they didn't know was that the result they discussed caused a big disaster.

...
Xiaosheng Mountain is not a mountain, but a city.
Xiaosheng Mountain is 120 miles away from Liuzhou, and now it is the garrison of the imperial army. Yang Jian led his army to rest for several months after destroying Tonggu Academy. After Luo Tu proclaimed himself emperor in Liuzhou, the imperial men and horses marched again. In fact, this was not Yang Jian's original intention. If Luo Tu had not proclaimed himself emperor, his men would have returned to the north now.
Yang Jian's general Mosa returned from patrol patrol and walked into Yang Jian's study: "Master, are you looking for me?"
Yang Jian waved his hand and signaled him to sit down. Another general, Yang Chong, arrived one step earlier than him. He must have talked to Yang Jian with something, and his face was a little solemn.
“According to my original plan…”
Yang Jian glanced at the map and said, "After destroying Tonggu Academy, I will let the soldiers rest for a few months and sort out the recovered places. Then I will go back to the north and join the Puhu to take down Jin Shixiong. As long as I destroy Jin Shixiong first, Luo Tu and Jin Shiduo will have no reinforcements, and then I will fight with them steadily. However, Luo Tu actually had the courage to become emperor in Liuzhou, which prompted me to change my original plan. I thought..."
He paced and said, "There are people who are pursuing the tiger and guarding the Jiangbei camp. Jin Shixiong cannot defeat it. Although it will be harder to pounce on the tiger, he should still be able to deal with it. After I capture Liuzhou and capture Luo Tu Jin Shiduo alive, I will go back and destroy Jin Shixiong with him. Who knows... the tiger is farewell without saying goodbye."
Yang Chong's face changed, and he said with a low tone: "Third Master's temperament has always been suppressed... Although my subordinates have never done anything under the Third Master, they have heard of the Third Master's temperament. Master, you know more. Not to mention now, even when you followed Master to conquer the world, Master actually didn't want to fight on the battlefield, and he was always a little resistant. Later, he was not given the title of official title, so he simply farmed and raised birds at home... In fact, my subordinates have always been worried that one day, Master San would come to find Master and said he didn't want to do it anymore."
He sighed with a long sigh: "I just didn't expect that the Third Master would say goodbye to you and say goodbye to you."
"Don't care about him."
Yang Jian waved his hand: "I know his temperament better than you. Although he listens to me on weekdays, once he has his own ideas, no one can change it. Just as when I planned to make him king, he refused to listen to anything. This time he went back to Chang'an, let him... After all, I owe him more and can't always make him feel unhappy. But..."
Yang Jian's tone changed: "Punching the tiger back to Chang'an is also good for the overall situation. Wei Mu led his troops too rigidly. Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu have been attacking Chang'an for half a year. It has not been because Wei Mu will use troops, but because Chang'an City is too strong. After pounced the tiger back, if there is anything in Chang'an, what I worry most now is that the Jiangbei camp was broken after pounced on the tiger, and now our retreat has been blocked by Jin Shixiong."
He walked back to the map and pointed to several positions: "In Liuzhou, the lowest estimate is that Jin Shiduo and Luo Tu's rebels also have nearly 500,000 people, although most of them are mobs. Jin Shixiong has at least 160,000 people and 70,000 people under his command. The northwest is strong, and these soldiers are all supported by Jin Shixiong as bandits, and their combat power is great. Now I have 13,000 Iron Armored Army, and I have lost nearly 2,000 after a series of battles. Although most of them sank into the water when crossing the river, I was unexpectedly expected to reduce the number of troops."
"This battle can only be fast but not slow."
Yang Jian said: "You two, one is going to Liuzhou to challenge, and the other is going to lead troops to guard the retreat. Both are important. You can choose it yourself."
Yang Chong thought for a while and said, "I am willing to lead troops to defend the retreat."
Mosa nodded: "It should be so. Brother Yang's second brother has considered this. He has always been cautious in leading troops and has more than enough to defend the city, but I am more suitable for siege."
"That's good!"
Yang Jian waved his hand: "We will raise an army tomorrow morning. Mosa, I will give you six thousand iron armored troops, and 50,000 horses to take the lead. Yang Chong, I will give you three thousand iron armored troops, and 50,000 horses to guard the rear. I will bring my remaining troops to the central army and win Liuzhou within ten days!"
"Here!"
The two of them stood up and clasped their fists and responded. At this moment, Yang Jian's face suddenly changed.
He turned around and looked out the door. At some point, a young monk in white had already entered the yard. The guards outside the door seemed to have not seen him. He walked in slowly so blatantly. Mosa and Yang Chong's faces changed, and anger flashed in his eyes, but before they could go out, Yang Jian waved his hand to stop him: "I want to let this person in, I want to see why the people in the Buddha Sect are so brave!"
...
...
"See Your Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty!"
Great freedom, wearing white monk's robe, bowed deeply and had a humble attitude.
This action surprised Yang Jian a little. He glanced at the young monk in front of him who looked about twenty years old, but there was no slight contempt in his eyes. He could see how powerful the young monk was, and he could also see that there was no hostility in his eyes.
After experiencing so many things, Yang Jian's eyesight has long been comparable to that of ordinary people.
"Who are you?"
Yang Jian asked.
