Chapter 977: From Darkness to Light This word contains too many meanings. ¡°If this was just a surname, then it wouldn¡¯t make so many heroes fight for it. Whether it is God's will or not, the markings on the tiger's forehead give it the throne as if it were given by heaven. And people, especially men, how many people shed their blood in order to become kings, but in the end they get nothing. News that the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty will personally preside over the ceremony to confer Fang Jie as king has spread. This news is not only a signal to the officers and men of the Black Flag Army, but also a signal to forces outside the Black Flag Army. Fang Jiefeng was the king, and he was the orthodox force recognized by the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty. How many people after the rebellion still thought that the Sui royal family could give them a legitimate title? How many people seem to be disdainful of this kind of account ban, but in fact they are jealous and want to hit the wall. Although this is just a title and does not sound as heroic as self-proclaimed king, it is the best way to deal with the current chaos in the Sui Dynasty. Fang Jie's mind was not focused on this. These things were naturally taken care of by the people below, so he didn't need to worry about anything. His energy is still on military affairs. After all, Gao Kaitai's hundreds of thousands of troops are not fools. Even if it's a straw, it can't be chopped off in a short while with one knife after another. "Did the people from the Knight Riding School get any information?" Fang Jie asked Chen Xiaoru while looking through the reports sent by the armies: "My subordinates have arranged for a lot of people to keep an eye on it, but things are not going well in the Gao family's army camp. Find out. Although my subordinates started arranging people to enter Gao Kaitai's camp before entering the army, it is difficult to get in touch with things at that level in such a short time. For now, they can only watch and pay attention to the people outside. I didn't see anything wrong, and there was nothing unusual about the movement of troops. " "Nothing unusual at all?" Fang Jie asked. "No." Chen Xiaoru shook his head firmly: "My subordinates just received the news from there this afternoon. The Gao Kaitai Camp is as calm as usual. There is nothing strange from here to the passes in the cities of Beijing Ji Road. , The city defense is as tight as ever." Fang Jie said, "Gao Kaitai's ambition is pretty good. Others might have been tortured by his own suspicions. The matter in the north is not urgent. This battle is over. I'm really anxious now. I'm more worried about Dongjiang than Gao Kaitai. " "My lord, the people at the Xiao Riding School have not been relaxed about the news from Dongjiang, Nalan. The team from Dingdong rushing to aid Dongjiang has not yet passed through Shanhaiguan. Calculating the time spent in communicating with each other, if nothing happens, Nalan will just leave Shanhaiguan. As for participating in the war, he still has to wait for Mu Guangling's dispatch. The forces are mixed, but with the support of our Huotongtianxiaxing and the people from the Xiao Riding School, nothing will happen to Nalan's troops. Besides, Nalan is still from Beiliao, and the Beiliao people's station is not far away from the war zone. On the way to Shitian." Fang Jie nodded: "Keep a close eye on things in Dongjiang, especially in Muping City. Although it is now controlled by foreigners, we can't relax. He had a thought and asked the Knight Riding School over there to check to see if anyone was helping the foreigners. I knew something about Yang Shun, and I guessed that someone around him must have been bribed by the foreigners. If he could find this person, he would be the best to capture him alive. Okay. If you can't capture them alive, get rid of them, and then try your best to instigate Yang Shunhui's generals. Although the two guards were newly built, Yang Shunhui has a way of training soldiers, and the blood left in Yang Shunhui's heart is already black. But there must be a lot of blood in the hearts of the two guards. ""My subordinates will arrange for someone to spread the news soon." Chen Xiaoru said. Fang Jie hummed: "Besides, the fight has come to this point, it's time to contact Mu San. In order to protect him, we cut off contact with him, but we have always sent people to protect him. We are about to enter Gyeonggi Province , Maybe it won't be long before we attack Chang'an City. Mu San has been in the city for the past two years, and he knows more about the city than anyone else." "Bring him out?" Chen Xiaoru asked. "No, it's better for him to stay in the city. After contacting me, I asked him to go to my original shop on East 23rd Street. I left some banknotes under the second brick for him to take around. There has never been a shortage of people who are greedy for money in Chang'an City. They used to be restrained by the Sui Emperor, but now no one makes the decision in the city. Money is dearer to them than anything else. Let Mu San not be stingy and spend money wherever he can. "There is no need to be stingy if you buy it." "Of course" Fang Jie added: "Anyone who can be bought with money does not need to cherish it." "" "Luxury and wealth come from Chang'an City."?It has been more than twenty days, and it has been three days since we arrived at the Black Flag Army camp. For people like him, no matter how tall the walls of Chang'an City are, it is of no use. Even that fat body can't stop him from being as light as a swallow. How can the city wall stop him? After the Black Flag Army went north, Wu Daodao sent someone to Chang'an City to contact Jiusecai and ask him to come back. This fat man who spared no effort in everything he did ran all the way back this time, almost without sleep, and he actually seemed to have lost some weight. Wu Yiyi was not in a hurry to ask him anything, and let him sleep comfortably for three days after he came back. "Master" walked into the house where Wu Yiyi lived, and the drunken man bowed down deeply and bowed. He put on clean clothes, as tight as ever. It can be said that every piece of his clothes is extremely exquisite in workmanship and made of good materials, but he refuses to make the clothes bigger. He seems to enjoy the feeling of the clothes wrapping tightly around his body. Or maybe he insists that he will look thinner if he dresses like this. "Have you had enough sleep?" Wu Daodao squinted at Jiu Secai and put down the book in his hand. "I've had enough sleep." Jiusecai nodded: "I was so happy to know that I wanted to come back. I couldn't stop running with my legs. I was really tired from running back from Chang'an City in one breath. But when I came back You are at ease with me, so you don¡¯t have to worry about anything when sleeping." Wu Yiyi nodded and pointed to the chair in front of him: "Sit down and talk." Jiusecai rubbed his butt and sat down on the chair, waiting for Wu Yiyi to ask. "How is the situation in the city?" "Chaos!" The answer of the drunkard was not beyond Wu Yiyi's expectation. Jiusecai sorted out his thoughts: "Actually, the chaos started after Yang Jian left Chang'an City with the Iron Armored Army, but it was not so obvious at first. Not long after Yang Jian left, someone secretly dispatched experts to assassinate Yang Jian and stay in Chang'an City. However, this Wei Mu was very skilled. Several groups of people went in, but he captured an assassin and forced him to reveal the mastermind. Wei Mu led the Iron Armored Army to massacre a family. After that, the people who wanted to kill Wei Mu fell silent for a while. After half a year, people began to secretly send people to assassinate Wei Mu. However, the real masters in the city had their own things to do, and those who could be invited were probably of no great importance. The skilled Jiang Hu Ke made many attacks, but none of them hurt Wei Mu. Later, Wei Mu became furious and led the Iron Armor Army to massacre three wealthy people. " Jiuse Cai paused and continued: " Again. Later, because Wang Yiqu and Gao Kaitai began to attack Chang'an City, Wei Mu's assassins were gone because those guys knew very well that if Wang Yiqu and Gao Kaitai entered Chang'an City, they might not be able to benefit, so they might as well keep Wei Mu. "Mu Shoucheng." "However, before I left Chang'an City, I found out that someone had hired a master to kill Wei Mu. Later, after I found out the name of that person, I thought about it and thought about it. He himself said that he had wanted to kill Wei Mu for a long time. "Luo Weiran?" Wu Yiyi asked. "I can't hide anything from you!" Liquor and Cai flattered him just right: "My subordinates knew that Luo Weiran was hiding in the palace after returning to Chang'an, and he also knew it based on Wei Mu's cultivation. But Wei Mu didn't He dared to take the initiative to provoke Luo Weiran. After all, he and Luo Weiran had no confidence at all, so they pretended not to know why Luo Weiran had been staying in the palace and why he suddenly planned to come out to kill Wei Mu. , and the news actually leaked out. " "Luo Weiran is not that stupid." Wu Daodao shook his head: "He will not publicize the matter of killing Wei Mu. It seems that someone else knows about Luo Weiran. In Chang'an City, the purpose of fabricating this news was to lure Wei Mu and Luo Weiran into a fight. No matter who died, the onlookers would at least have a good time. Cai sighed: "Why didn't I think of it If I had thought of it, I would have spread such words all over the streets." Wu Yidao rolled his eyes at him: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" "Quite a few" replied Jiulucai : "Although the Forbidden Army was squeezed out by the Iron Armored Army, its size has not changed, at least 18,000 people. The City Defense Army was the soldiers and horses that Yang Shunhui had before he left Chang'an, with a number of no less than 30,000. The young emperor asked for the skills of the soldiers and horses. To protect themselves, Yang Shunhui was asked to build a new army. Now that the little emperor is dead, there is no one to lead these 30,000 people. Many people are jealous, and those in the court are fighting to their death. There is no shame left.¡± ¡°Baili Chang¡¯an City is too big.¡± Jiusecai sighed and said, ¡°Although it looks military.The number of people is only 50,000, which is not a large number, but there are too many people. If someone promises huge profits, they might be able to recruit a large army. " "No" Wu Daodao couldn't help but smile: "After so many years in Chang'an City, you still don't understand the people of Chang'an City. They regard themselves as superior to others, and everyone thinks that they are relatives of the emperor When the army arrives outside Chang'an City, if the eldest princess says a word, the people will prostrate themselves on the ground and cry bitterly. " "By the way, Master" Jiusecai hesitated for a while and then couldn't help but ask: "Master, where are we?" that's all? " Wu Yiyi glanced at him and nodded: "That's it. " "But why? "Wine, Sex and Money asked. "Didn't you say that that person is dead? Without that person watching us from behind, why bother doing things for others? As long as you give an order, all the people with good knowledge in the world will be able to level up half of the world! " "Don't say that again in the future. You still have to work under me, don't force me to do anything. " Wu Yiyi said seriously: "I said that's it, then that's it. If you feel unconvinced and unwilling to give updo you know what will happen? "Jiuxecai was stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "I know. " "Do whatever you need to do, and you won't lose what you deserve. " Wu Yiyi said slowly: "When I left you to work by my side, it was because you were smart enough. If you're really smart, you know what I want. If you know what I want, then you know what you have to do. ¡± Liquor and Secai leaned over and said, ¡°I understand, my subordinates. " Wu Yiyi waved his hand: "You can go directly to the lord in a while, and he will arrange a suitable position for you. Become the deputy commander of the Riding School first, and your achievements will be great in the future, and your future will be bright. You have followed me for so many years and I haven't given you anything. What I can give you now is to put you out of the dark and into the light. How wide the road ahead will be depends on how you walk. " "Thank you, Lord! " The drunken man bowed again and rubbed his eyes: "I'll still be in charge of the food when I come here, right? " "roll"
