    Chapter 919 What¡¯s Behind the News The date of the Black Flag Army¡¯s expedition was moved forward a few days due to the war in Eastern Xinjiang. The army set off immediately after gathering. This battle was different from the past. This was the Black Flag Army¡¯s foothold in the southwest.  After that, the first meaningful battle to protect the family.  Fang Jie was unwilling to fight the war in the southwest, so he sent troops to Subei Road. After Yang Jian defeated Shengtu, there seemed to be no reason for the Black Flag Army and the Sui Army to avoid this battle anyway.  Since Yang Jian went south, it can be said that he has gained momentum.  We wiped out Luo Yao's rebels in the north of the Yangtze River, then invaded the south of the Yangtze River, defeated the Tonggu Academy, then defeated the Jin Shixiong and Jin Shiduo brothers, and finally defeated Liuzhou, destroying Shengtu's great victory not long after the founding of the country.  It can be said that without that armored army, Yang Jian would not have been so invincible.  In order to defeat this armored army, Shengtu spent a lot of manpower and financial resources. The firearms battalion he built did inflict a heavy blow to the armored army. However, due to their ignorance of firearms, the soldiers in the Shengjun firearms battalion knew how to control firearms but did not know how to control them.  Firearm performance.  That defeat seemed like a coincidence, but it was actually inevitable.  The artillery casting technology of this era is destined to have limited power, and the founding technology of the Principality of Ross cannot be compared with the Opuru Empire.  The best news for the Black Flag Army is that now Yang Jian's armored army has lost more than half of its troops, and some of the remaining people are injured, which will affect the combat effectiveness to some extent.  Fang Jie's firearms battalion is definitely not comparable to Shengtu's firearms battalion, and the combat power of the Black Flag Army is definitely not comparable to that of the victorious army.  The army left the Zhuque Mountain camp in a mighty and mighty manner.  It has just passed the time for summer grain to be stored in the warehouse, and autumn grain has been planted in the fields. After a late summer rain watered the fields, a layer of green seedlings sprouted out.  Fang Jie strictly ordered soldiers not to trample crops, and those who disobeyed the order would be killed.  Hundreds of thousands of troops set off, only taking the official road. Even if they were divided into several roads, they could be stretched forward and backward for a long time.  "The one who set off faster than Fang Jie's team was Fang Jie's messenger.  Carrying the letters written by Fang Jie himself, several letters rushed to their destinations as quickly as possible.  The army had just set off, and the messenger had already passed Anxian. By the time the army arrived at Anxian, the messenger had already reached the edge of Luoshui River.  By the time the army passed Luoshui, the messenger was already approaching Liuzhou.  A simple ride on a light horse is much faster than a large army.  When Yang Jian received Fang Jie¡¯s personal letter, he was inspecting the armored military camp.  This team is the foundation for him to re-establish his country. He did not expect to suffer such a huge loss in the battle with Shengtu. Because of this, he will pay special attention to the firearms in Shengtu's hands. Who would have thought Da Zizi  He actually destroyed Shengtu and Shengtu's firearms without any delay.  Opening Fang Jie¡¯s handwritten letter, Yang Jian stood up abruptly after reading it for only a moment.  The expression on his face immediately became solemn, and the anger in his eyes gradually spread.  "Eastern Xinjiang!" He slapped the letter on the table: "A group of overseas barbarians dare to touch the majesty of our Celestial Empire!" "What's wrong?" Da Zizi, who was standing on one side, seemed to know how to highlight Yang Jian's status.  He never walks in front of Yang Jian, and he never lets others pay more attention to himself than to Yang Jian.  He was like a qualified follower, doing what he was supposed to do honestly.  "Foreigners dare to attack our Eastern Xinjiang!" Yang Jian's face was ashen as he handed Fang Jie's letter to Da Zi Zai.  Da Zi Zai took a cursory look, and then suddenly smiled: "Such a trick is not very clever, but it hits what your Majesty cares about most. Fang Jie is such a cunning person, so you should pay more attention to him in the future." "What do you mean?  ?" Yang Jian asked.  "I think." Da Zizi has become accustomed to calling himself a minister: "Fang Jie wrote such a letter at this time, and its purpose is naturally self-evident. Your Majesty did not see through it because your Majesty is your Majesty. Do you think Your Majesty?  We have just defeated Shengtu and almost put an end to the chaos in Jiangnan. At this time, who is the greatest threat to the imperial court in the southwestern half of Jiangnan? Isn't it Fang Jie? " "I think that Fang Jie's move is just to mess with your majesty.  It's just military morale. Fang Jie must have known about the victory and defeat, and was worried about Your Majesty's invasion of the southwest, so he compiled such a thing to try to distract His Majesty's attention to the south of the Yangtze River.  If you are weak, you can seize it in one fell swoop. When Your Majesty arrives in Eastern Xinjiang and sees peace before returning, I'm afraid it will be too late Besides" Da Zizai talked eloquently: "As far as I know, Mu Guangling in Eastern Xinjiang, again  There is Zhao Tianzheng in the nearby Jiangdu city. Although these two people have not raised a rebel flag, they think they have changed their minds and dare not rebel. They are probably just waiting and watching. Once His Majesty moves eastward, these two people must think that His Majesty is going to destroy them.  ?Will it be counterproductive?  To take a step backeven if foreigners really attack, wouldn't Mu Guangling and Zhao Tianzheng be able to resist them with their strength?  Both of their teams were not affected by the war, so they recharged their batteries, and their combat power was the strongest" He glanced at Yang Jian: "If you solve this plan, you can kill two birds with one stone.  " Yang Jian's face changed. He was not sure whether Fang Jie was lying. Looking at Yang Jian's face, Da Zi knew that he had been persuaded, so he continued: "Your Majesty, please think that Fang Jie has been in the southwest, not far from Dongjiang.  Thousands of miles away, how could he know what was happening in Eastern Xinjiang before His Majesty?  If there is really an attack by barbarians, warnings will be sent out in Eastern Xinjiang, and the news will be transmitted very quickly Will it be someone else's turn to explain?  " "I think" Da Zizai solemnly said: "Even if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, it is better to deal with the internal strife first.  If internal strife is not peaceful, how can we deal with external enemies?  " Yang Jian was silent for a while and then shook his head: "I would rather believe it is trueImmediately send people to Eastern Xinjiang to find out the news. In additionI asked Zheng Duofu to lead troops to set up defenses on the east side of Subei Road to see what the solution is.  What's the intention!  "           Subei Dao Fang Jie's troops, with the assistance of Zheng Qiu's navy, crossed the river in large numbers. Now under the strong attack of Nalan Dingdong and Du Dingbei, Subei Dao has basically been suppressed, and the army  They marched without encountering any resistance, and God was kind. During the more than a month of marching, there was no rain. This time, Fang Jie brought almost all the elites of the Black Flag Army, except Chen Dingnan who was on the Yunnan Road.  In addition to the men and horses, all the cavalry troops from the time when the Black Flag Army was formed have arrived. Today's Black Flag Army is really strong. Both the infantry and the cavalry are extremely powerful.  He did not stop developing cavalry because he had a pretty good relationship with the barbarians on the grassland. Especially after Jin Shixiong from the northwest led his troops to leave, the transactions with the barbarians became smoother and more convenient, so Fang Jie was able to continuously obtain war horses from the grassland.  . Both the barbarians and Fang Jie seized the most profitable opportunity in the war. When Fang Jie went to the southwest, it was Luo Yao who led his troops north, and Huangyang Road was empty.  The great country was captured by Fang Jie, and the northern barbarians moved westward to the grassland. It was the civil strife of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and the war between the Kuoke Taimeng Golden Family and the Buddha Sect spread to the entire grassland, so that the barbarians easily moved without resistance.  Establishing a foothold in the grassland. Now, the Meng Yuan people want to deal with the Northern Barbarians, but their troops are really limited. With the strong financial support from the world, coupled with a steady stream of war horses sent from the grassland, the Black Flag Army develops steadily and steadily.  Quickly. If Yang Jian didn't have the armored army, he wouldn't be able to compete with the Black Flag Army. Fang Jie had the Jingbu Camp, and those Jianghu guests invited by Xiang Qingniu in the name of Dao Zun.  Those who are below the rank of cultivation are organized into the Jingbu camp, and those who are above the sixth rank are led by Taoist Master Xiang Qingniu himself. Fang Jie has a firearms camp. After several years of careful construction, the combat power of this firearms camp is absolutely absolute.  It's shocking. Fang Jie has well-trained light cavalry and infantry that can survive a hundred battles. It seems that he just lacks some heavy cavalry. War horses are not a problem, and selection is not a problem.   Even if one becomes extremely wealthy through trading goods, it would be too difficult to build a heavy cavalry force of 10,000 while supporting the development of the entire Black Flag Army, not counting war expenses.  , the money and food consumed for daily maintenance is a huge sum of money. Moreover, even if all the armor workshops of the Black Flag Army work hard, they will not be able to produce 10,000 pieces of heavy armor in three years. And as the war becomes more and more intense.  When the emphasis is on speed, the sacrifice of speed for heavy armor makes it even more difficult to decide. The speed of heavy armored cavalry on the battlefield is far inferior to that of light cavalry. Therefore, after several struggles, Fang finally decided.  Xie finally gave up the idea of ??building a heavy cavalry. Nalan Dingdong and others went to Fang Jie, who happened to be on the way to the old site of Tonggu Academy. Fang Jie wanted to visit this place no matter what.  Great battles, such as Wan Xingchen's sword breaking the tower, such as Yang Jian's leveling the tower.  It was here that Liao Sheng and Chen Zhenyu, who had rushed back from Liuzhou, met Fang Jie.  It was under the ruins of the tower that Fang Jie began to truly understand Yang Jian.  Liao Sheng and Chen Zhenyu told Fang Jie truthfully and in detail about the scene they saw, and Fang Jie listened very carefully.  These messages will be so precious for the future.  Especially what Chen Zhenyu saw when he was monitoring the battle alone after Liao Sheng left. Although Chen Zhenyu didn't understand many things, he only needed to tell Fang Jie what he saw.  In cultivation??There are many things that Chen Zhenyu cannot understand, but he is definitely an excellent narrator.  Shengtu created a new world!  In Chen Zhenyu¡¯s narration, Fang Jie almost immediately thought of this possibility.  However, Shengtu's cultivation level increased rapidly, and his understanding of cultivation was not at the same level as his cultivation level.  But Fang Jie suddenly thought of a question Yang Jian seemed to have no understanding of Jie.  Sohow did he defeat Luo Yao in the first place?  Even now, Fang Jie still has some palpitations when recalling Luo Yao's Vajra Realm.  But in the blink of an eye, Fang Jie suddenly thought of another possibility.  He frowned, and a thought flashed through his mind.  Yang Jian was unable to suppress Luo Yao at first, and even seriously injured Luo Yao When Luo Yao fought with Yang Jianjian, it was impossible not to use his King Kong Realm. Even so, Luo Yao still lost, so it means that  Yang Jian's cultivation level is definitely higher than Luo Yao's.  But when dealing with Shengtu, Yang Jian couldn't even cope with Shengtu's rudimentary world Why? ?????????? Actually the answer is very simple.  Fang Jie quickly guessed that there were only two possibilities for Yang Jian's performance.  Firsthe is pretending!  Da Zi Zi is now by Yang Jian's side. Yang Jian cannot be wary of Da Zi Zai.  There is no better way to lower a person's defensiveness than to show weakness.  Yang Jian did this deliberately to make Da Zizai relax his guard.  Yang Jian was unwilling and did not dare to reveal his full strength in front of Da ZiZi, because there was no reason between the two of them not to turn against each other.  Second Yang Jian's cultivation level is declining!  If it¡¯s the second reason there must be something wrong with Yang Jian¡¯s body, so that his cultivation level is slowly declining!  When he first came out of Chang'an, he could crush Luo Yao, but now it has become difficult to even defeat Shengtu.  Thinking of this, Fang Jie took a long breath.  Whether it¡¯s the first possibility or the second possibility, it doesn¡¯t seem to be a bad thing for Fang Jie.  The first one may prove that Yang Jian and Da Zizai can exploit each other's distrust, and the second one may be the most direct benefit to Fang Jie!
