Chapter 887 Can you do it

It took less than three days from Fang Jie's idea to the completion of the team assembly. After the order was continued, the various vocations began to operate in an orderly manner, starting from logistics to transporting grain and grass, and to the Xiaoqi School arranging people to draw the best marching route for the army. The speed of these things was carried out surprisingly quickly and safely.

Fang Jie has built the Black Flag Army into an army that can respond quickly, which requires a huge logistics team. No one in any army in the world can compare with the Black Flag Army.

On the third day after the discussion, the army had already assembled.

Fang Jie did not bring Chen Qingfan and the others this time, after all, this was just an ordinary battle. If Da Zizai really defected to Yang Jian and Yang Jian took him in, then the first goal of the two men was Luo Tu, who was the emperor in Liuzhou, not the Black Flag Army, and there was no time to take care of North Sudao, so Fang Jie would not encounter any danger in this battle.

With the strength of the Black Flag Army, it is indeed not difficult to conquer a place without heavy troops.

Fang Jie glanced at the ready-to-run team, waved his hand to signal to set off. He and Xiang Qingniu boarded the carriage, and Bai Lion Hun Dun followed behind and squeezed in.

"It seems that this time the expedition is less than the one I brought when I went south?"

Xiang Qingniu asked curiously.

"Fifty thousand men."

Fang Jie smiled and replied: "It will be difficult to fight North Sudao than destroying Nanyan. The 50,000 I brought with me this time were all new recruits, just to let them feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. I have never seen blood and can't be considered a real soldier. Li Tai, deputy commander of the Flying Leopard Army, has tens of thousands of troops under his command in Xinyang City. In addition, Qilin and Nalan Dingdong who had passed before, there are enough troops. Perhaps, they can't use so many troops at all."

Xiang Qingniu shook his head: "I'm going to start sleeping. I don't like to stagger in the carriage. Anyway, I don't understand the military affairs, so I might as well sleep steadily all the way, just for recovery."

"How about it?"

Fang Jie asked him.

Xiang Qingniu said: "Fortunately, although he tried his best to fight Da Zizai, at least he did not destroy my heart of Tao, otherwise it would be difficult to recover."

As he spoke, he stroked his chubby belly with his palm. In the sea of ​​dantian Qi, the two black and white fish were also sleeping soundly. These were two very strange fish. Four disciples under Wan Xingchen's sect, Xiao Yijiu, founded the Qingle Mountain Yiqi Temple. He did not have this black and white fish. The second disciple Yang Qi inherited Wan Xingchen's sword and broke the ten thousand methods, and there was no black and white fish. As for the third disciple Luo Weiran, he was even more useless.

Perhaps, this is why Wan Xingchen said at the beginning that the fate of the Dao Sect will be on Xiang Qingniu in the future. This Dao heart cannot be realized by just one person.

Fang Jie looked at his movements of stroking his lower abdomen and couldn't help but praise: "Women at this time are the happiest."

Xiang Qingniu didn't understand at first, but after a while he realized: "Master Dao is a veritable man!"

"If I study less, don't lie to me..."

Fang Xie glanced at Xiang Qingniu's chest: "Is he a man with such a big breast?"

Xiang Qingniu wanted to bite Fang to relieve himself, and leaned back: "Don't discriminate against fat people!"

Fang Jie shook his head: "I have read a novel about the world before. There is a person named Beixia. I guess he is much fatter than you. He practiced a skill with his belly called cotton belly. When someone punched him, he didn't dodge or dodge, and he stood up to meet him. As a result, his opponent's fist would be wrapped by the fat on his belly, and he couldn't even get it back if he wanted to. Then he could abuse his opponent freely... You have a good foundation, would you like to try it?"

Xiang Qingniu gave him a blank look: "If you don't joke about my belly one day, will you die?"

“It will be boring”

Fang Jie leaned back and leaned comfortably on the carriage: "The road is long, what else can I do if I don't chat and fuck me?"

"You haven't thought about how to kill that monster?"

Fang Jie knew that he was talking about Da Zizai, so he shook his head: "Da Zizai's body is very strange. He was hit by your sword intent, you were hit by so many kicks, and I also punched me a few times. Although he seemed to be seriously injured, he was as intact as before after shedding his skin. If you want to kill him, you will definitely kill him with one blow."

Xiang Qingniu sighed: "Why are the Buddha Sect so many perverts!"

"Because there is a pervert like the Great Wheel Ming King, there are a bunch of perverts below."

"You can't be perverted?"

“Am I not perverted enough?”

"Yes, you're a pervert too."

"Aren't you? Have two fish in your stomach!"

"Yes, I'm a pervert too..."

...

...

If you are light and simple, and you will be whipped up with a quick horse, it will take twenty days to get from Zhuqueshan Camp to Xinyang City. However, the speed of a large group of people is not fast enough. From the installation to the departure, the cavalry can travel 150 miles a day except for the rest and meal time. However, this time, Fang Jie brought most infantry, so the formation is slower.

When I arrived in Xinyang City, I realized that spring had passed so unknowingly. After the Chinese New Year, I only went to Dongjiang once, and one thing took away a spring.

Xinyang City

Qilin, Nie Xiaoju, Nalan Dingdong and Li Tai welcomed Fang Jie into the city outside the city. Fang Jie did not delay and went directly to the garrison yamen in Xinyang City.

Chen Xiaoru was also waiting here, reporting to Fang Jie as he walked: "The arrangement of troops on the other side has been almost investigated. The Liu family, Sun family and Zhao family in North Suzhou are the most powerful. These people are pieced together by the three families, with about 50,000 troops. The followers are all small families, so don't care too much."

"The Sun family's troops are arranged in Liulandu, the Zhao family's troops are in Ono City on the right side of Liulandu, and the Liu family's troops are in Yugu Ridge on the left side of Liulandu. Among them, the Sun family has the most troops, so the other two families asked him to be the marshal, named Sun Yingdian. Liu Han from the Liu family and Zhao Qiang from the Zhao family can be the deputy commander."

"Liu Landu has about 20,000 soldiers and horses. Although Sun Yingdian is the head coach, the one who really commands the troops is his staff, who calls himself Mr. Xishan. This man has no power, but he is very knowledgeable about military tactics and battle formations. He is the first strategist under Sun Yingdian's tent. Sun Yingdian has special trust in him. Liu Landu's military deployment is all from Mr. Xishan."

"How is the troops configured?"

Fang Jie asked while walking.

Chen Xiaorudao: "The scouts looked at the riverside, and the other side was very cautious. The camp was less than two miles away from the shore, and the enemy could quickly reach the shore for defense. From a distance, most of the enemy were light infantry, spearmen and archers accounted for the majority, and no heavy armored infantry were seen."

"The Luo River is too wide."

Li Tai said with his head down slightly, "The narrowest place is more than one mile, and the water flows fast and the river is deep, so it is difficult to build a floating bridge."

Fang Jie nodded: "Zheng Qiu's navy has already begun. There is something else to do in the upstream. I guess it will be in three or five days. Crossing the river and building a floating bridge requires a lot of labor. This season is busy farming, so that the people can steadily clean up the crops in the fields and hand them over to the navy when crossing the river."

Chen Xiaorudao: "General Zheng Qiu has not fought since he arrived in Zhuque Mountain. This time the navy's people should have been trying hard to make contributions."

Fang Jie smiled: "Duan Zheng went to Dali, and Zheng Qiu, the navy of Zhuqueshan Camp, was in good order. But I could also see that he was eager to fight and always wanted to prove himself. This time he happened to give him a chance to train troops and start the war when the navy arrived."

"By the way, Sanjin Hou is also rushing over."

Chen Xiaoru and Taoism: "Originally, Sanjin Hou was going to return to Zhuque Mountain. I heard that the lord led his army to Xinyang City. Sanjin Hou immediately changed his itinerary and it will be almost tomorrow at the latest."

Fang Jie nodded: "This time, Sanjin Hou chased him for thousands of miles and was exhausted. He should have gone back and had a good rest, but the war was about to come and he had no time to rest."

Fang Jie said while climbing the wall of Xinyang City. Xinyang City was not far from Luoshui. Standing on the wall, the scenery of Luoshui was completely visible. Fang Jie took the clairvoyance handed over by Chen Xiaoru and looked at the other side, and found that the troops on the other side were arranged in a very orderly manner. In order to prevent the Black Flag Army from attacking, many wooden stakes were fired in the shallow water of the east bank, and even the centipede and fast ships could not dock. About a hundred meters away from the shore, a wooden city was being built, and countless soldiers were being built.

"Who is this Mr. Xishan?"

Fang Jie couldn't help asking.

"I haven't found out yet."

Chen Xiaorudao: "I heard that he was from Qu County, North Jiangsu Province, and had no fame and honor. He was about thirty years old. He didn't know what his surname was. Even the people in Sun Yingdian's army called him Mr. Xishan. Few people knew what his real name was. However, there is a story that many people know about it. It is said that Mr. Xishan was a dead person who only knew about studying. His parents at home had to work hard to support him. He just kept studying, and he was wearing clothes and food to open his mouth, without asking about family affairs."

"In Qu County, everyone knows that the old couple has an ignorant son. Because he always goes to study in Xishan, Qu County, so the people joked and teased him as Mr. Xishan. Later, one year his parents got sick and had no money to treat him, so they both passed away. Mr. Xishan borrowed money from his neighbors to bury his parents but no one paid attention to him. Because his family was poor, his parents were stingy and had some unclear hands and feet, and they had a bad reputation among neighbors..."

Chen Xiaoru said: "Later, Mr. Xishan put a straw label on his neck and sold himself. As a result, everyone in Qu County knew what his habits were. He couldn't do farm work and could not do housework, so no one paid attention to him. Later, a passing businessman gave him a few taels of silver, and he bought a thin coffin to bury his parents."

"Later, I don't know why I entered Sun Yingdian's mansion. After the chaos in Jiangnan, there were many bandits who took advantage of the chaos to rob, invading prefectures and counties and disrupting the local area. Sun Yingdian sent him to lead troops to wipe out the battles and won consecutive battles. In a month, he killed more than 20,000 bandits. Sun Yingdian only gave him three thousand troops, and this record was already brilliant enough."

"What is most sad is that Qu County was captured by bandits, and the escaped people went to ask for help. Mr. Xishan stopped moving... Until Qu County was looted by bandits, the people lost more than half of the people. Mr. Xishan led his troops to attack halfway and wiped out the bandits."

Hearing that Fang Jie's face had obviously changed, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed slightly.

Chen Xiaoru followed Fang Jie for a long time, and knew that Fang Jie heard him mention this person at the beginning and became loving talent. After all, what the Black Flag Army lacks now is the generals who can fight. This Mr. Xishan must have some skills. He brought three thousand troops to combat the thieves and chaos in northern Sudao. From this point, we can see that this person has real talent and knowledge.

However, this person seems to be too extreme.

"Later, someone accused him of not saving him when he was dead. Mr. Xishan said, "Who saved me when I was in trouble that day? Why do you want me to save them now?"

Chen Xiaorudao: "However, after this battle, everyone knows the name of Mr. Xishan after the North Sudao."

In the study room

Fang Jie called Du Dingbei in, looked at him and asked, "Do you see clearly the arrangement of the enemy soldiers?"

Du Dingbei, a young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, nodded: "See clearly!"

Fang Jie asked: "If I asked you to fight this first battle, how many people do you need?"

Du Dingbei was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he stretched out a finger: "At least 10,000 troops are needed, but it depends on the offensive of the navy. If the navy suppressed it at the beginning, eight thousand troops should be enough."

"Eight thousand?"

Fang Jie couldn't help but smile: "I have never been a habit of joking with my subordinates on military affairs. It's nothing to chat or joke on weekdays, but as long as it is military affairs, I can't tolerate a joke. Since I ask you, I naturally want to use you."

"But... my subordinates are less than seventeen years old... I have no experience in leading troops before."

Du Dingbei looked up at Fang Jie and his face turned a little red.

"I will give you 15,000 people, and the navy will do my best to cooperate with you. There is a man named Mr. Xishan on the other side of the river who thought he was good at using troops. You should defeat him. Then tell everyone that the one who defeated Mr. Xishan, who is famous in North Sudao, was a 16-year-old general in my Black Flag Army. His name is Du Dingbei. Can you do it?"

These words made Du Dingbei feel excited: "I'm going to be the subordinate!"
