Seeing Fang Jie's frown getting deeper and deeper, Shen Qingshan couldn't help but ask. Fang Jie slowly opened his eyes and shook his head: "I can feel the location of the fifth energy channel very clearly, but I just can't. The difference between trying to sense what is hidden in this Qi vein and the previous four Qi veins is that this Qi pulse seems to bedead."
Shen Qingfan was startled, then thought for a while and comforted him: "Maybe your perception is not enough, so you can't detect the Qi vein in the deepest part of your body."
Seeing him come out of meditation, Mu Xiaoyao and Wanyan Yunshu also walked in from outside. The three women looked at the melted water on the table and the layer of golden sand on the ground, the shock on their faces not receding yet. Fang Jie followed their gazes and was surprised. He didn't even know what happened just now.
While the four people were talking, a man in Feiyupao ran in quickly and said: "General, there is an urgent military situation!"
Fang Jie immediately stood up, spoke to the three women, and walked quickly to the big tent.
Mu Xiaoyao picked up a broom to sweep away the golden sand on the ground. Suddenly, he saw a small bud on the table leg gradually withering. It withered very quickly, as if it had lost the nutrients that supported its vitality in an instant.
She pointed in surprise, but didn¡¯t know what to say.
Fang Jie quickly arrived at the big tent, where several major generals were already waiting for him.
"General, the scouts sent out reported that they had discovered a large-scale mobilization of rebel forces. Except for the westernmost counties, the elite rebels who were almost hidden in every county and town came out in full force, as if they were gathering in one direction. ¡±
Fei Yupao, who reported the news, pointed to several locations next to the map: "The Shang Huoxi tribe who was deceived by the general to go to Qingshui, and the Han En tribe rebels in Lai County did not move, and are still stationed in place. In addition, there are Qiucheng, Wan Yong, there is no movement from the rebels in the three areas of Enze, and the scouts are still watching. Once the rebel forces are mobilized, there will be rewards immediately. "
After Fang Jie listened, he walked to the map and used a charcoal pen to circle the counties and towns that Feiyu Pai mentioned before that had troop mobilization, and then crossed out the counties and towns that did not have troop mobilization.
"It seems that Li Yuanshan has given up on Xiangcheng."
Looking at the situation he had outlined, Fang Jie's thinking became clear: "The reason why the elite rebels in Laixian, Qingshui, Qiucheng, Wanyong, and Enze were not mobilized is because we killed Li Xiaolian. Li Yuanshan assigned seven There is an inspector who oversees the rebels in all the prefectures, counties, villages and towns within a radius of 270 miles west of Xiangcheng. Li Xiaolian arrived here a while ago and was killed, so Li Yuanshan's troop mobilization did not come to us, but the inspectors from other places are here! The rebels in other cities have begun to mobilize. If nothing else happens, Xiangcheng has been captured by the imperial army, and Li Yuanshan must have come west with the remaining troops"
"Jue Xiao, do you mean that Li Yuanshan has opened his pocket?"
Wanyan Zhongde asked.
Fang Jie nodded: "Although there is no news about the Feiyupao from Xiangcheng, we can already confirm from the mobilization of the rebel forces that Li Yuanshan is going to make a last ditch effort. He has used more than 1.5 million rebels The purpose of making bait is to lead the imperial army into the trap he set. Now, the decisive battle is finally here."
He pointed to a location on the map and said: "Xiping County, the capital of Xiping City, is located in the middle of this trap. If nothing else happens, Li Yuanshan will lead the rebels to retreat here. The imperial army followed, and all the things Li Yuanshan had laid out before The rebels will gather here. The distance from the location of the rebels in each city to Xiping City is not too far. They can arrive within five days at the earliest. Li Yuanshan plans to encircle the imperial army, but with his current strength. There are definitely not enough troops"
Just as he was talking, someone from outside quickly ran in: "Report! The spies who went to the southeast to investigate Luo Yao's headquarters are back!"
"Let him in!"
Not long after, a dusty man in Feiyu robe came in. He bowed to the other party first and then said: "General, my subordinates found out that Luo Yao's left vanguard of hundreds of thousands of troops was stationed in Sipan Town. They suddenly mobilized in the past few days to bypass it. The rebel army Yin Poshan who was camped opposite him went directly to the east. In addition, Meng Yuanmanzi's cavalry had also come out of the station, and it seemed that they were marching in the east direction!"
"Sure enough"
Fang Jie¡¯s expression changed, he waved his hand and said, ¡°You go and rest first.¡±
Wanyan Zhongde took a deep breath: "Now it seems that His Majesty the Sui Emperor's troops have fallen into the trap carefully laid by Li Yuanshan, Luo Yao's hundreds of thousands of troops have moved eastward, and Meng Yuan's two hundred thousand wolves have The cavalry is also moving east, and the back of the Sui Dynasty's Western Army is exposed to the enemy Not only that, once the decisive battle comes, Meng Wansui and Yin Poshan's rebels will also rush here! ""Your Majesty must have made arrangements!"
Fang Jie said firmly: "Li Yuanshan's plan cannot be hidden from others. It is impossible for His Majesty to not discover it with his wisdom."
He paused and said: "I'm afraid Li Yuanshan hasn't noticed yet, but the positions between him and His Majesty have been reversed Before, His Majesty was in the open, and every move of the imperial army was in front of Li Yuanshan's eyes, and everything was very clear. . And Li Yuanshan's arrangement was a mystery to everyone at the beginning. But now it is different. Everyone has seen Li Yuanshan's arrangement clearly, but no one knows about His Majesty's arrangement. "
Wanyan Zhongde nodded: "Then what should we do now?"
Fang Jie was silent for a while and said: "I want to go out. The rebels in other places have been mobilized. Even if the rebels in Qingshui, Lai County and other places have not been ordered by the inspector to mobilize, they must be aware of the movements of the rebels in other places. Pay attention. If I, the fake inspector, don't show up for a long time, they will become suspicious. It is impossible for them to see through me, so I will just dig a big hole for Li Yuanshan as a last resort. "
"You plan to transfer the rebels from these five counties and towns to other places?"
Wanyan Zhongde asked.
"Um"
Fang Jie hummed and said, "Your Highness, take your team immediately out of the city to the east, avoid the rebel forces and rush toward Xiping City. I will mobilize the rebels from the five places in Qingshui Lai County to join you immediately!" "
Wanyan Zhongde knew that the long-awaited day had finally arrived. He looked at Fang Jie and said seriously: "Be careful!"
Fang Jie smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I am now a very powerful inspector!"

In the Langru Mountain Canyon west of Fangu, thousands of elite soldiers were busy. A city wall has risen from the ground. Although it looks rough, it is extremely thick and solid. The height of the stone wall has exceeded two meters, but it seems that they obviously have no intention of ending there.
A clear and sweet whistle came from the mountain, and the soldiers carrying stones in the valley below immediately ran to both sides. The people below responded with whistles after avoiding the situation, and then heard a rumble as several huge rocks rolled down the gentler slope of the canyon cliff.
When the boulder fell to the ground, the ground seemed to tremble a few times.
The dust and smoke cleared, and the soldiers burst into cheers.
They used logs to move the big stones to build the stone wall. Lu Fenghou wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a great sense of accomplishment when looking at the already large-scale stone wall. During these days, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were ordered by Fang Jie to build stone walls in Qingxia Gorge. Although they were very tired, everyone was very motivated. They knew that General Fang wanted to block the more than 200,000 Mongolian Yuan wolf riders in the northwest, and these wolf riders were the sworn enemies of every soldier in the Black Flag Army.
A few years ago, it was these wolf riders who massacred hundreds of thousands of Black Flag Army comrades with scimitars. The grasslands of Mandu Banner, hundreds of miles north and south and two thousand miles east and west, were littered with the corpses of Sui soldiers. Li Yuanshan asked the rebels to seal Fan Gu. The survivors struggled out under such circumstances, with pursuers behind and interceptions in front. Now, they must return the same fate to those Meng Yuan Wolf Riders.
From the northwest of Sui Dynasty back to the grassland, Langru Mountain Canyon is the only way.
The soldiers knew how ferocious the Mongolian attack would be if they blocked Qingxia, but none of them felt uneasy, let alone fear.
"Work harder!"
Lu Fenghou pushed the big stone and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Let's work faster. When the general comes back from the east, he will be shocked when he sees the stone wall we built! Let the general see what our Black Flag Army did when he was away." No one is lazy!"
"Ha ha"
The soldiers were smiling and sweating profusely.
At this time, suddenly there was an exclamation from the mountain. Lu Fenghou raised his head and looked up. He saw a large hanging stone or was hit by a stone that had rolled down before. It was moving slowly. It seemed that it was moving slowly. About to fall. Lu Fenghou was shocked and immediately shouted: "Everyone spread out and move back!"
As soon as he finished shouting these words, the big stone, which seemed to weigh several thousand kilograms, had already rolled down the hillside. The soldiers ran back amidst the screams, but because there were too many people, they could not retreat quickly.
Lu Fenghou saw the big stone coming towards him. He looked back and glanced at the soldiers who had not completely dispersed. Suddenly they roared, grabbed a log and rushed towards the big stone. It looked like He actually wanted to use his own body to gradually slow down the speed of the boulder rolling down.
This decision came so unexpectedly.
Lu Fenghou never thought that one day he would be stoned to death. He insisted that heHe died gloriously on the battlefield, not from illness or old age, but his body was wrapped in leather and carried back to his hometown.
The boulder roared towards him, and he actually smiled to himself at this moment. He poked the wood he was carrying diagonally on the ground and held it on his shoulders, intending to use his own flesh and blood to push the wood against the boulder.
Bang!
The flesh on Lu Fenghou¡¯s face twitched, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
There is a vast expanse of white all around. Stones, people, vegetation are all white.
He couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to himself, could this be the underworld? It turns out that the underworld is like this, everything has no color. Later, he suddenly realized that this was not the underworld. He was still in the same place. The reason why he saw things without color might be because what his soul saw was different from what he saw when he was alive.
The stone is still the same stone, and the people are still the same people.
Huh¡¡
Who is that fat man? Is he the judge of the underworld?
Just when he was surprised, the white world in his eyes finally gradually recovered. Color returned to his eyes, and the world was still this world. The reason why most of the things I saw turned white was because I was scared.
A fat man wearing a black Taoist robe appeared in front of Lu Fenghou at some point. He pushed the falling stone with one hand. After the fat Taoist stabilized the stone, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked back. Lu Fenghou glanced at him and asked, "Hey, you idiot who rushed forward when he saw the falling rocks, are you okay?"
Lu Fenghou said subconsciously: "Don't you rush forward too?"
The fat Taoist was stunned for a moment, and then said with some annoyance: "I'm even more stupid than you. Not only did I rush forward when I saw the falling rocks, I also didn't avoid something that was countless times more dangerous than the falling rocks"
He knew that the frightened general didn¡¯t understand what he was talking about, and he didn¡¯t bother to explain: ¡°Let me ask you something, does going west from here lead to the grassland?¡±
"yes¡¡"
Lu Fenghou replied, and then suddenly remembered: "I have seen you!"
The fat Taoist was startled: "Have you seen me?"
"I've seen it before!"
Lu Fenghou said excitedly: "On Mangdang Mountain, you found my general."
"Oh my-fuck Are you the soldiers of that bastard Fang Jie? Alas, it seems that I did walk too slowly. I only focused on comprehending the Taoist heart along the way Since you are Fang Jie's people Then there¡¯s nothing more to say, help me prepare dry food for a month and give it to a few horses.¡±
He said carelessly: "I am Fang Jie's uncle. Let's get some meat to eat first By the way, I just saved your life. Do you have any sisters or sisters you want to introduce to me"
