    Chapter 996: Respect and Fear of the Xiaoqi School Battle of Qinhe Almost all of Zheng Ziyu¡¯s troops were killed in the battle, tens of thousands of horses, and only three to five thousand were captured.  Most of them were still wounded, and no more than 1,500 of them surrendered without being injured and were captured alive.  In a battle of this scale, the number of injured was less than one-tenth of the dead, which shows how tragic this battle was.  Fang lifted the strict order and ordered that the wounded in Zheng Ziyu's unit should be treated together with the wounded in the Black Flag Army. After they recovered from their injuries, they could decide whether to stay or leave on their own.  The same is true for those surrendered soldiers who were not injured.  Yan Zeng and Li Tai's troops at Lingmen Pass had withdrawn. Zheng Ziyu's troops at Lingmen Pass were trapped and killed. Gao Jun, who had really tried to store water, was defeated by Yan Zeng and then retreated to Lingmen Pass. Li  Tai's soldiers and horses patrolled upstream along the river. The defenders in Lingmen Pass were trapped and did nothing.  As soon as the fighting on the Qinhe side ended, Yan Zeng and Li Tai were ordered to retreat.  There is no need to attack Lingmen Pass. That place has high mountains and dangerous waters and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is no need to waste troops in such a place.  Almost all of Zheng Ziyu's soldiers and horses were killed in the battle. The Gao family army in Lingmen Pass became a lone army, and the thousands of troops could not achieve much.  Perhaps, after the Black Flag Army departs, these thousands of people will become bandits.  Fang Jie sent people to recruit people to surrender, but the defenders in the pass closed their doors behind closed doors, so Fang Jie simply ignored them.  After returning from the battlefield, Fang Jie summoned his generals to study the plan to advance the army, which was not completed until almost nightfall.  Xiang Qingniu came several times and Fang Jie was discussing military affairs with his generals, but he didn't bother him.  He waited until the meeting in the big tent was over before he walked in. He yawned and seemed a little bored.  "Is something wrong?" Fang Jie asked.  "It's nothing serious." Xiang Qingniu sat down on the chair, stretched and said, "It's not about Yueyingtang. I've been thinking about it in my heart for the past few days, and I always feel a little uneasy." "Thinking about it.  What's wrong?" Fang Jiefang put down the booklet in his hand. It was a report sent from the Zhuque Mountain Camp.  Every seven days, such a report will come up from Zhuque Mountain.  "If Yueyingtang is still there and has penetrated into the martial arts academy, wouldn't my master have noticed it when he was there? With his experience, mind and cultivation, if those heavenly kings in Yueyingtang have good cultivation,  , I shouldn¡¯t be able to hide it from him. Also Back then, the Ouchi Guards Office knew almost nothing about the affairs in Chang¡¯an City. The Feiyu Pao of the Ouchi Guards Office had records of all the large and small sects in the underworld of Chang¡¯an City.  With the intentions of Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji, it seems impossible for Yueyingtang to hide in Chang'an City. After all, it is under the emperor's feet and it is not that easy to hide." Fang Jie nodded.  : "According to what the swordsman I captured said, each Tianjun's cultivation level is stronger than the last, so the cultivation level of the strongest Jiutian Jun will definitely alarm Mr. Wan. Besides, Mr. Zhuo will still be there at that time.  At the Ouchi Guards, he is a perceptive practitioner, much stronger than Xiao Yao. There are so many great practitioners hidden in the city. He would not know it. " "If the main hall of Yueyingtang is not in Chang'an it will be in Chang'an.  Where?" Xiang Qingniu frowned and said, "Yueyingtang has been living in the dark for more than two hundred years. If it is in Jiangnan, it is impossible for those old guys in Tonggu Academy not to know about it.  Southwest, you have turned the southwest upside down. It is impossible to see their shadow in the northwest. Is it possible that they are in the northeast? " Fang Jie asked: "You are so entangled with the president of Yueyingtang.  Where is the altar, what do you want to do?" Xiang Qingniu raised his eyebrows and said, "Damn it, these people have bullied me to the point where they are not killing you or me as their main purpose.  They're both here to get rid of them, right? If they can bully them, can't Master Dao bully them back? If Master Dao finds out where their headquarters is, Master Dao will go over and step on them. " "I'll kill one of them.  Tianjun, even the weakest and most helpless Tianjun is something that is difficult for Yueyingtang to accept. If nothing happens, someone will come to you in a short time. Just wait and catch someone with high status.  We will find out after interrogation. Besides, Sanjin Hou went to see the leader of the assassin sect. He is expected to come back later and he should be able to bring back some useful information." "I am suddenly here.  "I think" Xiang Qingniu glanced at Fang Jie: "Back then, Yueyingtang was chosen by my master and he was then besieged by various sects. Even so, Yueyingtang did not collapse and secretly developed for more than 200 years.  Now Nian has regained his strong strength My master founded Wan Jian Tang and he ordered it to be disbanded without suffering any trauma Since there are people in Yueying Tang who continue to live on, will Wan Jian Tang  ¡­?Fang Jie was moved by what he said and glanced at Xiang Qingniu.  "You mean, the four of you are just your master's outer disciples? The real direct disciples haven't shown up at all?" "Bah!" Xiang Qingniu rolled his eyes at Fang Jie: "The four of us are the direct disciples But  , is it true that my master only has four direct disciples in his life? It should be, right?" He looked at Fang Jie, both of them felt that this seemed a bit unreasonable.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Zhuque Mountain Camp After Fang Jie led the army on the expedition, the soldiers and horses left behind in the Zhuque Mountain Camp had nothing to do except drill every day, so they were quite peaceful.  A large number of villages have formed near Daying. The people of Huangyang Road knew that they would be safe by Zhuque Mountain, so they gradually moved here to live.  ¡°These people originally received food from the Black Flag Army, and the villages were built with the help of the Black Flag Army soldiers, so the people feel cordiality towards the Black Flag Army from the bottom of their hearts.  The land was distributed to the people. They gave half of the grain they brought to the Black Flag Army and kept half for themselves. Life was not much better than before. Every family had surplus grain and every household had surplus money.  It would not be an exaggeration to say that Huangyang Road is now the most peaceful place to live and work in the entire Central Plains.  ??When people have leisure time in farming, they will go to Zhuque Mountain to find some work to do.  The camp is still being improved, and the Navy Dockyard is also being renovated.  In order to ensure that larger warships can get out of Xuanwu Lake, the river channel must also be widened.  The Black Flag Army never deducted wages from the common people, and the food was good.  Not only near Zhuque Mountain, but also the entire Huangyang Road.  You Enzhi, a member of the 100-year-old Riding School, took more than a dozen of the Riding School members out of the Zhuque Mountain camp and went to several nearby counties as usual.  According to the rules set by Fang Jie, the people of Huangyang Road can directly go to the Xiaoqiu School to complain about their grievances. The Xiaoqiu School regularly conducts inspections in various counties, which has become a routine.  "However, the current Huangyang Dao is excellent in terms of both official and civilian governance. It is the entrepreneurial period, and Fang Jie's subordinates, both civil and military officials, are very responsible.  You Enzhi actually knew that nothing would happen during this inspection.  The team set off from the Zhuque Mountain camp, with more than a dozen fast horses traveling along the official road.  Huangyang Road had not suffered any war disasters at first, so the official road was still very intact. After Fang Jie began to manage it, he sent people to repair it.  "Hundred households, where are you going first this time?" asked a knight riding school.  The inspection route of the Xiao Riding School is not fixed. The purpose is to prevent evil-doing officials from knowing the inspection route of the Xiao Riding School in advance and be prepared.  "Let's go to Dongxian County first. It's still the old rule. We don't alert the local government. We just place a case on the street and wait for the people to come and file their grievances. If there is no case, we will stay in Dongxian County for one day and rush out early the next morning.  Xilai County." You Enzhi thought about the answer, and then said in a daze: "I will lead most of the brothers to follow the lord to make achievements in the north. If those of us who stay at home are slacker, we will be even more inferior.  You know, you can get a lot of military success on the battlefield. As for us, we can only ensure that nothing goes wrong. If we continue to slack off, those brothers who have made great achievements will immediately take advantage of us when we come back.  Errands." "What Baihu said makes sense." Another Xiaoqi Xiao said: "As long as we work hard, we can't be dismissed for no reason." "So, although we know that this trip is impossible.  If something happens, don't relax. Just do whatever you want. Wait until you come back and rest." "Here!" A dozen knights shouted at the same time, and then rushed forward.  In the farmland we passed along the way, the farmers in the fields would all get up and say hello when they saw the Xiao Riding School going out.  Although those knight riding schools would not return the gift, the common people would not blame them.  Because they also understand that the Knight Riding School still needs to maintain its due majesty. Besides, if they return the favor one by one, they will stop rushing.  When it was getting dark on the ninth day after going out, You Enzhi and the others stopped to rest in a place called Fangshanting Town.  This place is not far from Dongxian County. If we rest here for one night, we will go to the city to do some work tomorrow morning.  You Enzhi asked someone to find an inn and told the boss not to let people from the Xiao Riding School stay there.  The owner of the inn is a talkative man in his fifties, with a dark complexion and a very honest look.  After arranging food and accommodation for You Enzhi and the others, the boss was about to say goodbye and leave. As usual, You Enzhi warned the boss not to reveal their whereabouts to Dongxian County.  The boss smiled and said don't worry, you are here to work for the people, we will not ruin your business.   Just when he was about to go out, the boss suddenly remembered something.  "By the way, Master Baihu." The boss turned around and came back. He looked outside and then lowered his voice and said: "There is a young man living in my inn. He arrived less than an hour earlier than you. He looks like he is no more than seventeen.  He was eight years old and had a dark complexion. He looked like he had traveled a long way and was exposed to the sun. He was alone, carrying only a small bag, and he could only put down some money What would happen to a person who traveled far away?  Is there anyone who doesn¡¯t bring an umbrella or a change of clothes?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not the most important thing.¡± The boss came over and lowered his voice: ¡°While eating, this young man asked me a lot about the Zhuque Mountain Camp.  He asked how far the Zhuque Mountain Camp was from here, who was in charge of the mountain now, and whether the Duke's family members were still on the mountain. " The instinctive reaction made You Enzhi's face change, and he suddenly changed.  He stood up and grabbed the boss's hand: "How do you answer?" The boss was startled and quickly explained: "I just asked a question and didn't know. When I saw that guy, he didn't have any good intentions. We all suffered.  You are so kind to me, how dare you talk nonsense. I planned to go to Dongxian County at night to report to the official." You Enzhi let go and nodded: "You did well.  Which room does that person live in? "Is there any weapon on him?" "I don't see any weapons. The package is so small" The boss thought for a moment: "By the way, he came on a very strange horse."  Yes, I haven't seen it. It's just in the backyard. There seems to be a package on the horse's back, but he didn't pick it up." You Enzhi looked at his subordinates and smiled at the boss: "Well, this is yours.  There is no need to go to Dongxian County to report to the official. We will check on him later. Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen if we are here.¡± The boss nodded quickly: ¡°We respect, respect and fear the Xiao Riding School, so I feel relieved that you are here.  . Who doesn¡¯t know the name of our Black Flag Army Riding School? No one dares to cause trouble in Huangyang Road.¡± ¡°Haha¡± You Enzhi said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid of us, as long as you stay safe, we won¡¯t come after him randomly.¡±  He waved his hand and ordered: "Go to the backyard first to see if there is something unusual about that horse."
