Chapter 404: So it is

Chapter 404 is so
Although the left-winger's soldiers crossed the Yellow Cattle River, unexpectedly, the rebels did not counterattack, leaving the left-winger to build a village on the bank of Hebei. Fang Xie originally thought that even if the left-back and the rebels did not want to start a war, the left-front could cross the river even if it was just building a camp, which is equivalent to taking a big step. This is the first time that the imperial army set foot on this land after the Third Avenue in the northwest. According to the truth, the reaction of the rebels should be fierce.
Letting the men and women of the imperial court come in is definitely a blow to the morale of the rebels.
Although Li Yuanshan has not yet claimed the title of emperor, he claims to be King of the West, and these three northwestern areas are his territory. At the beginning of the court's attack, Li Yuanshan must have fought back fiercely. According to Fangjie's understanding of Li Yuanshan, this man's ambition is definitely more than that of the three in the northwest.
For more than half a month, Hebei's left avant-garde camp and the rebel camp have been separated by less than twenty miles, but they are in peace.
Fang Xie sat under the big tree and watched the training at the Shanzi camp, his brows locked deeply. What he was most worried about was whether Luo Yao had secretly colluded with the rebels. If Li Yuanshan and Luo Yao were allied, then Da Sui would really have to go to the wind and rain. It is said that the bravery of the imperial court has exceeded one million, and it has mobilized another 300,000 soldiers, and it is ready to start. If Li Yuanshan and Luo Yao joined forces, then the court's battle of rebellion would be fierce.
At that time, Li Yuanshan linked the Mongolian Yuan people from behind and raided the court to conquer the Western Army. The sword that Li Yuanshan stabbed behind was too harsh, which directly caused the 700,000 army to collapse in ten days. Will the knife be replaced with Luo Yao this time?
While he was meditating, Zhuo Buyi walked over quickly.
"There has been something wrong recently."
Zhuo Buyi said heavily after sitting down beside Fang Jie.
"what happened?"
Fang Xie asked.
"Since these days, there have been constant conflicts between the left-winger's people and the county soldiers and soldiers of Huangyang Road. This morning, it is said that several left-winger soldiers were killed by the people, and Wen Xiaodao personally led a team of fine men Riding into the Minyong camp, captured dozens of people and chopped their heads on the spot. If it wasn't for Huang Yangdao Governor Yang Yanye's efforts to suppress, Minyong would have fried the pot today ... Thousands of people brave Wen Xiaodao in the big camp, If the sword is stretched out, if Yang Yanye rushes away, it will not be a small-scale fight. "
"How do I always feel that the left-winger's soldiers are deliberately picking things?"
Zhuo Buyi frowned: "It is said that Luo Yao first urged Yang Yanye to deliver the left-back avant-garde for a month. Yang Yanye could not come up with it, or the grain borrowed from the local squire. This batch of grain was delivered, and Luo Yao immediately sent another person It will take three months to open the mouth to urge the grain. If this continues, Yang Yanye's patience will soon come to an end. "
Fang Jie sighed: "I am most worried about this. I am afraid that Luo Yao's purpose of going north is not rebels at all. It is Huangyang Road and the four southwestern roads are his territory. Only Huangyang Road is within his control. In addition, although the Southwestern Dadao is rich, Luo Yao has continued to expand his army over the years, and has continued to use troops against the Dai people. The place where he is rich again cannot support him. If he wants to expand his army, the Southwestern Dadao cannot afford him ... ... and Huang Yangdao has Xinkou warehouse, one of the largest granaries in Da Sui. If Luo Yao wins Xinkou warehouse, even if he raises a million troops, it is not a problem. "
Speaking of this, Zhuo Buyi's face suddenly changed: "Xinkou Cang is on Huangyang Road, and Huangyang Road has no soldiers at all. Xinkoucang's garrison is less than 5,000, and the combat effectiveness of the grain guard is not comparable to that of the soldiers. ... The rebels have separated the Northwest for two years, and haven't had the idea of ​​Xinkoukou for two years. Why? "
Fang Xie said: "Yang Yanye formed the people to fight for resistance. Part of it, I'm afraid there are other hidden feelings."
Zhuobu Yizi thought carefully, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes: "You mean, Luo Yao had already stared at Xinkoucang. The reason the rebels did not take Xinkoucang was not the civil resistance of Huangyang Road. It ’s fierce, but they already knew that Xinkoucang was what Luo Yao wanted, and they didn't dare to grab it. At this time, Li Yuanshan didn't dare to offend Luo Yao who had 400,000 soldiers. The relationship between Luo Yao and the rebels The tacit understanding is that he does not interfere in Li Yuanshan's affairs, nor does Li Yuanshan interfere in his affairs ... "
"More than 400,000 ..."
Fang Xie shook his head: "Now you haven't seen it clearly? If Luo Yao wants to, the people who can instantly pull up the four lanes in the southwest are definitely larger than Li Yuanshan. In the past two decades, the court of the Da Sui Dynasty has dealt with the four lanes in the southwest, especially It ’s because of fair business that takes good care of it and keeps reducing money and food, but the people have n’t been so rich. Where have all the food and money gone? All of them were recruited by Luo Yaoqiang! "
"The left winger reported 200,000 troops to the court, but we all know no less than 400,000. Now it seems ... more than 400,000. Luo Yao's 20 years in Yongzhou completely turned the southwest into a huge one. Barracks. "
"Oh my God……"
Zhuo Yiyi said: "You mean, Luo Yao has the opposite intention? Now that you have noticed, why don't you leave? We should return to Chang'an City as soon as possible to meet with your Majesty. If we delay again, wait for the imperialist rebel army to come out and rebel. The army and Luo Yao joined forces, and the army of the imperial court would suffer the enemy ... "
"go?"
Fang Xie smiled: "These are just our speculations, there is no evidence at all. Besides, how are we going now? All the roads are blocked by the left-wing men and horses, unless you want to go across the river to rebels The site of Huangyang Road is Xu Jindao, and our people cannot send it back at all. "
"What then?"
Fang Xie was silent for a while and said: "If the tacit understanding between the rebels and the left forward can be broken and Luo Yao and the rebels can fight, it is best ... Luo Yao sent troops across the river, the rebels did not move, this is unusual In fact, people with good eyes can see it. I can guarantee that Governor Yang Yangye of Huangyang Road is aware of it earlier than us, because Luo Yao has been pressing him after he arrived ... I don't believe he will not find a way to send news to the court, so I I plan to find a chance to meet him. "
"He believes you?"
"After all, I came from Chang'an City, not Luo Yao's people."
Fang Xie stood up: "If it doesn't work, I'll have to take a horse. I have already started to use Shanzi Camp, and I can't just lose it. If I can't return to Changan, I will go to King Asahi. "
"You already planned?"
Zhuo Buyi asked in confusion.
Fang Xie nodded: "From the day Luo Yao stayed, I started thinking about how to get away."
...
...
Zhuo Buyi and Fang Jie were standing on the south bank of the Huangniu River, watching the flowing Huangniu River, watching the big camp on the north bank of the river, and watching the nine floating bridges on the river, and both were silent.
"If the emperor did not secretly transfer troops to the west, but took the matter out and discussed it in the court ... I'm afraid Da Sui doesn't have the current difficulties. Now think about it, it's simply a wrong move The Emperor intends to hide everyone from such a big thing. "
Zhuo Buyi sighed.
"The emperor was too confident. He felt that he had set aside the courtiers and bypassed the court's disputes. He could rely on his own ability to pick up the Da Sui Jiang Shan on his shoulders. In the eyes of the emperor, none of the courtiers was Reassuring him, so he wanted to do everything himself. From the beginning, he did n’t think that there was anything that could not be separated from the imperial court. He knew that the expedition in the northwest was so big that once it was put in the court and negotiated, immediately It will cause rough seas, so he wants to do it himself. "
"I have to say that the emperor is a wise man with very few people. He has the ability to control the whole situation when he is calm."
Fang Jie's words became increasingly disrespectful, but Zhuo Yiyan took his words seriously.
"And after the emperor's ascension, everything was too smooth. Those who supported the prince and other princes in the court were taken silently by the emperor. The discord in the court was gone, and the courtiers obeyed him. Then he secretly established Cargo Transportation, and relied on a commercial bank to repair the city walls that had not been repaired for a hundred years by the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty. This matter alone is actually enough to leave a strong stroke in the history books. "
"But because the emperor was too smooth in everything, his mind was getting bigger and bigger ... He quietly transported troops, transported grain, and transferred 700,000 troops to the northwest before he made the matter public. To the public, the courtiers knew it was too late. But at this time, the huge state machine was running to support the war in the northwest. The disadvantages have actually appeared ... "
Fang Xie paused and continued, "Even without Li Yuanshan's rebellion, I am not optimistic about the war in the Northwest. Meng Yuan established the country for nearly a thousand years, has a solid foundation, a large army, a strong national strength, and a strong public heart. How could it be Can it be easily defeated? Without Li Yuanshan's rebellion, the army arranged by the court in the northwest would also have problems because of many problems in the rear. "
"After the defeat of the Northwest War soldiers, the emperor did not follow the advice of the courtiers, and made a muddled decision ... Huang Yangdao did not send troops to station, but he recruited the people but did not restrict them, all because of his guilty conscience ..."
"A guilty conscience?"
Zhuo Buyi is puzzled.
"Yes, because he was defeated, he felt that those courtiers must have been taunting and mocking him secretly. So he became more lonely and he did not like to listen to people. He felt that everything was right, and everyone else was wrong. . He felt that any opinion of the courtiers about the Northwest War was deliberately embarrassing him. "
Zhuo Yiyi said: "Perhaps, you are too arbitrary and pessimistic. After all, we are not in Chang'an City and we don't know what happened to the capital city."
Fang Xie shook his head: "I hope so."
"The emperor's affair with the northwest ... because of his faintness in heart, he became more calm about wanting to behave. As a result, he did not dispatch troops in the fastest time, and wanted to conceal this, so that Li Yuanshan gradually moved the northwest The Tao is firmly controlled. The people have no choice but to obey the rebels. Since there is no immediate troop deployment, then step by step, first recover the vitality, and then use a few years to arrange and gradually deploy the troop. But the emperor was actually more anxious than anyone else. He pretended not to care, and he could n’t pretend for a year. Then he began to dispatch troops ... In order to gather the men and women as soon as possible, the danger was too big ... either fast or slow He didn't go on both avenues ... "
Zhuo Yiyi sighed: "Are there no courtiers reminding the emperor of these things?"
"Who can the emperor listen to? Pei Yan?"
Fang Xie smiled coldly: "The first time I saw him, I faintly guessed what kind of character this man had. He would only follow the emperor, and he would never go against it."
Zhuo Buyi sighed secretly in his heart ~ EbookFREE.me ~, he knew that Fang's comment was right. Pei Yan would never say anything to obstruct the emperor from his mouth.
At this moment, several flying fish robes walked towards this side with a single person.
"Sir, Beijing is here!"
A flying fish robe lowered his voice.
Fang Xie hurried forward and assisted the already tired and fictitious person: "His Majesty's Will?"
"No!"
The comer took out an iron box from his arms and handed it to Fang Jie: "Scattered gold ... I have to give it to you personally."
"Hurry him up to rest."
Fang Jie gave a command, and immediately picked off the fire paint on the iron box. There was only one text message, a few words. But Fang Xie's face changed immediately after reading, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "It turns out ... so, I now understand why the emperor was out of control."
