- Chapter 340 Brothers
I don¡¯t know when the people in the north began to spread the news about the defeat in the Northwest. The 700,000-strong army was completely wiped out, and the three northwest routes were lost When this news began to spread crazily among the people of Gyeonggi Province, it actually proved that it had already spread in other places. Because the news could not have spread from Gyeonggi Province. Those in the court who knew the news were all the emperor's cronies. Those who were not cronies who knew the news had their heads chopped off.
The atmosphere in Dongnuan Pavilion has been bad these days. The weather has been so warm that even wearing a single coat does not feel cold. But the coldness in the room makes everyone who walks in feel like they have fallen into an ice cave.
This coldness comes from the emperor.
"The rumors are still spreading?"
The emperor, who was sitting on the Tukang, looked at the army strategy that had been revised six times by the Ministry of War, and asked without raising his head.
Luo Weiran, who was standing not far away with his head bowed, said: "All the government offices in Gyeonggi Province have arrested many people who spread rumors, but it has become difficult to control. The people do not say anything publicly, but they are discussing this in private. The news I thought was spread by the rebels came from the northwest. Although the navy blocked the Yishui rebels from crossing the river, it was impossible for the navy to prevent a small group of people from sneaking across. "
"and¡¡"
Luo Weiran glanced at the emperor, hesitated and continued: "Hou Wenji is over there."
The emperor hummed, and after a moment of silence he said: "Pass the decree to the various states, and let all the people who were arrested be released I never thought that I would be able to hide this matter forever. Now that it has spread, I will block it." I can¡¯t help it. I will tell the world about the defeat in the northwest in a few days.¡±
Luo Weiran's expression changed: "But if this happens, the people's hearts will probably be uncontrollable."
"Then don't control it."
The emperor raised his head and glanced at Luo Weiran: "Whether the people are talking in private or in public, there are many angry people, and there are many who call Li Yuanshan shameful, but are there anyone who feels afraid and desperate?"
"No! The people are only angry."
The emperor hummed and said: "If that's the case, then what are I worried about? The rebels are not afraid of spreading this news, so how can I be afraid? Originally, I planned to wait for the troops mobilized from various places to arrive on the east bank of Yishui River as scheduled before making an announcement. World, now that it has been spread, let the people know clearly. I will ask Pei Yan to write a detailed announcement and let the people know what Li Yuanshan and his traitors are like. "
"At the beginning, I didn't want to recruit civilian warriors because I was worried that the people would be uneasy. Unexpectedly, the rebels spread the news and made me determined. Too many garrisons from various places would be affected, so I planned to recruit civilian warriors ¡The people are angry because they also resent the shamelessness of the traitors, and they are also willing to contribute to the country.¡±
He paused for a moment and then continued: "Since we want to announce it to the world, we will send it from the farthest place I will ask Pei Yan to draft another decree to Luo Yao and ask him to mobilize 100,000 troops to go north."
Luo Weiran's heart immediately tightened.
Fang Jie is counting the days before arriving in Yongzhou. Your Majesty will ask Luo Yao to mobilize his troops to the north If Luo Yao is forced to rebel because of the deployment of troops, then Fang Jie will be in danger.
"The left front guard guarding the southwest is the most important thing, isn't it"
Luo Weiran did not finish his words because he knew that the emperor understood what he meant.
"A while ago, my husband said something to me in Dongnuan Pavilion, which touched me greatly."
The emperor stretched his body and got off the earthen bed. Su Buwei quickly knelt down and put on his boots for him, and then straightened the emperor's clothes.
"My husband said that my biggest problem is suspicion. I don't hesitate to say it myself, and I do. My husband said that if a person doesn't even have one person he can trust in his life, it would be too boring and very sad. Go back, sir. Afterwards, I thought about it for a long time and finally came to my senses.¡±
He walked up to Luo Weiran and patted him on the shoulder: "I should have trusted you without any reservation, just like I trusted Lao Qi back then. During these days, you have made the people of the Ouchi Guards suffer. , I feel uneasy. Now that I have said this, I will tell you what is on my mind."
He paced and said: "I have never trusted Luo Yao since I came to the throne. I am always worried that this general who has a heavy army and is victorious in every battle has different intentions. So I have been on guard and guarded against him. I have transferred at least three guards in the past ten years. The soldiers were deployed in Jiangnan to keep an eye on him. After my husband returned, I suddenly understood that by doing this I was not forcing Luo Yao and me to go away from each other. "
"I have always been afraid when I thought about this. I was afraid that Luo Yao would not turn against me and I would be forced to turn against him."
? ?He raised his head and looked at the huge map of the entire territory of the Sui Dynasty on the wall: "In this case, I might as well go and mobilize the troops directly. If Luo Yao has no dissatisfaction with me, he will naturally send troops to the north. From now on, I will no longer have any doubts. If he really wants to guard the southwest half of the city for me, I will let go of the northwest affairs first Relatively speaking, I would rather not lose the three northwest roads. A peaceful business path.¡±
When Luo Weiran heard these words, he subconsciously looked at the emperor, and suddenly found that the emperor's hair was even more gray.
"Fang Jie is in the southwest."
The emperor was silent for a while and then continued: "Since I have tried to trust Luo Yao, how can I not trust Fang Jie? I believe that he can complete my instructions and urge Luo Yao to lead the troops north. As long as the left front guard divides the troops into ten If we march directly from the southwest to Huangyang Road, the rebels will have to divide their forces. If I personally lead the elite troops and brave people to attack them head-on, and march with dignity and dignity, how can the rebels be invincible?"
The emperor picked up the ink pen he used for reviewing memorials, got on the chair, and wrote a large bright red word Sui on the northwest three lanes of the Sui territory map. His eyes stayed on the Mandu flag for a moment, then he raised his hand and wrote the word Sui there too.
"I will personally go and retrieve everything that has been lost."

Anlai County
After the team that welcomed the imperial envoy withdrew, the people still did not dare to talk about anything. After all, the more than 700 human heads are still hanging on the city wall, and the blood stains spurting from the necks of the more than 700 corpses have not disappeared. The imperial envoy, a big shot that could only be mentioned in legends, came to Anlai County for the first time. What he brought was not auspiciousness and tranquility but a bloody disaster.
Secretly, many people secretly call the Imperial Envoy the Killer Star that brings disaster. They did not know and did not dare to be disrespectful to Luo Yao, so they could only use the imperial envoy to vent their anger.
Later, I don¡¯t know who found out Fang Jie¡¯s background and said that he was in Fangu. As a result, all 800 border troops and more than 2,000 people in Fangu died. When he arrived in the capital, Prince Yi rebelled and the emperor was so angry that he chopped off 36,000 heads and the blood flowed into rivers. He came to Anlai County again, but there was also a bloody disaster in Anlai County.
"Killing star, disaster star, misfortune starsuch names were given to Fang Jie without hesitation.
Someone asked in a worried and frightened tone, Fang Jie has gone to Yongzhou now What will happen to Yongzhou?
¡°On the afternoon of the day when the army withdrew from Anlai County, a man wearing a black cloak covering his head and face drove an ox cart into the county seat. The county government officials were all sent to the army, as was the county magistrate. No one was willing to guard the city gates without anyone to command them, so when the bullock cart came in, there was no one to check.
The ox cart walked straight along the main street of Anlai County and stopped at the entrance of the largest inn in Anlai County. He handed the bullock cart to the man, told him to take good care of it, and then walked towards the gate. His eyes were attracted by a notice posted at the door. He looked at the portrait on the notice and asked the boy: "Who is this?"
"Ahem It's not like that guy named Zhui Shang built some kind of Ruyi Sect's Sangmenxing! Damn it, he will be unlucky wherever he goes. As soon as he left, our Anlai County was beheaded by the general by more than 700 yuan. A human head! If such a person falls into my hands, I will cut him into pieces!"
The boy looked at the portrait and spat, with disgust in his eyes.
The driver was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Such a lawless person should naturally be killed!"
He walked into the inn, asked for a room, and then walked up to the second floor. He went into his room and didn't come out until dinner. The waiter went to urge him several times, but he asked the waiter to bring all the food into the room.
This person is none other than the felon businessman who is wanted by the portrait.
He sat at the second-floor window and stared at the sparse crowd on the street in a daze for a while. Then he got up, took out a thick pile of paper money from the package, and burned it in the brazier in the house.
"No matter what my purpose was, I deceived you so that you died But at least you died on the road to freedom, didn't you? If you want to blame me, then wait until the next life to torture me again. In this life I want to live well in order to realize the dream that you can't realize even if you die, the greater the pressure on my shoulders You are pioneers and deserve to be remembered by history!"
What he said was very serious, so serious that he almost deceived himself.
He burned valuable money one by one with a pious attitude: "If you think I deserve to be killed, remember not to drink that bowl of Meng Po soup when you cross the Naihe Bridge. After drinking it, you will lose your own thoughts. What? I have forgotten, why do you come to kill me again?¡±
He took all the paper moneyAfter that, he would use a bench to put out the fire every time more smoke burned.
"You are still so paranoid."
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke to him very close to him. The voice came from right next to him, and with his level of cultivation, it was natural that he would not notice it but not react at all.
Hearing this person¡¯s voice, Zhui Shang¡¯s brows quickly widened.
"Brotherwhy are you here? Are you here specifically to see me?"
He stood up and asked with a smile. Although he could suppress it, the excitement in his eyes still emerged uncontrollably.
"I have something important to do, so I'm passing by here."
The skinny man who spoke was standing behind him, very close. He is too thin. If he takes off his shirt, his body can be used as a washboard.
"How did you know I would be here?"
Chase Shang moved forward, holding the skinny man's arm tightly as if he was afraid that he would run away.
"You have had this temperament since you were a child. You will always go back to the place where you made a mistake to live for a while. You said that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is, because people from the yamen will not search the place they just searched. Search again. I know without guessing that you will definitely return to Anlai County."
"Alasbrother, can't you just pretend to be stupid?
"I just don't look stupid when I'm with you."
The skinny man took off the bamboo hat on his head and threw it aside, revealing a face so thin that his facial features almost bulged out and fell to the ground.
"Brother, you came to me just for this?"
"More than"
The skinny man looked outside, then lowered his voice and said, "You must never have any ideas about the imperial envoy again. This man cannot die!"
"What's the reason?"
"Hehe is the person I have been protecting for almost seventeen years. It was precisely because I went to protect him that the man promised not to kill you."
The skinny man raised his head, and it turned out to bea big dog! - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
