    Chapter 1019 Past Events The sudden situation in the northwest made Fang Jie really unable to calm down. Although he issued three military orders in succession, Fang Jie was not a god. He did not know the specific situation in the northwest.  The news sent by Chen Dingnan from the northwest was at least a month ago. One month later today, Fang Jie has no way of knowing whether Chen Dingnan has started a war with the Mongolian people.  Ordered the ship to move forward at full speed and turn north at Yong'an Canal.  Fang Jie unfolded the map on the table and paused with his fingers on each road in the northwest cities.  "If the Mongolian Yuan people really entered the customs with an army of one million, the number of cattle and sheep they brought must be an extremely huge number. The Mongolian people lacked food and relied on cattle and sheep for food. After entering the customs, they could not do what they did on the grasslands.  The army is marching in a wide spread, so the speed is slower than that of the lightly armed infantry. This is the only good news." He pondered for a moment: "Enter the pass from Langru Mountain, cross Fangu, and walk eastward.  A few dozen miles away is Shuyang County, where there are many mountainous roads, and the Meng Yuan people will have to walk on this road for a while. Meng Ge must know that the northwest of the Sui Dynasty is exhausted and cannot find food supplies, so the cattle and sheep he carries must at least be enough.  It would take two or three months to support his army. When Chen Dingnan got the news, it had not been long before the Wolf Cavalry entered the customs. He immediately sent someone to report to me. Although he used the contact information of the Xiao Cavalry School, Hexi Road and Hedong Road  There is no contact point for our Knight Riding School in these places, so carrier pigeons cannot be used" Chito Kurosawa, the Knight Riding School who came with the boat, said: "My lord, although there is no contact point for our Knight Riding School, there are cargo routes on Hexi Road and Hedong Road.  The news from the branch of Tianxia Branch should be taken by these routes, which is much faster than people rushing here." Fang Jie nodded: "So, judging from the time Meng Ge's army should have just arrived now.  When they reach Shandong Road, their team is too large and the cattle and sheep are moving slowly. It will take at least twenty days for Shuyang County to reach Hexi Road. It should be too late to send military orders. " Chen Kurosawa said.  The general will not start a war rashly without the lord's generals." Fang Jie frowned slightly and did not answer.  Because he understands Chen Dingnan¡¯s personality, Chen Dingnan is a direct and sharp person, and he hates foreign enemies, so he may not take the initiative to block the Mongolian and Yuan army.  What Fang Jie is most worried about now is not Chen Dingnan's command ability, but that most of Chen Dingnan's troops were urgently transferred back from Yunnan Road. After walking such a long way from southwest to northwest, the soldiers' physical strength was extremely exhausted.  Morale is tired, and it is never a good thing to rashly start a war with the Mongolian people under such circumstances.  "Even if the reinforcements from the Gyeonggi Province Camp set out immediately to rush to the northwest, Cui Zhongzhen has to mobilize food and supplies, and there are mostly infantry, it will take at least one and a half months to reach Hedong Road." Fang Jie shook his head: "The battle situation is changing rapidly  ¡­¡± Kurosawa comforted him: ¡°My lord, don¡¯t worry too much. General Chen was able to take charge of his own affairs when he was on Yunnan Road, and he could control such harsh and complex terrain and human conditions. Now the situation in the northwest is worse than that on Yunnan Road.  It's a lot easier. What General Chen has to face now is whether to fight or not. After leading the army for so long, he will think it through." Fang Jie hummed and turned to look at Xie Fuyao: "I want to invite you and Yan Qing.  Sir, we are going to the northwest." Xie Fuyao nodded: "Okay." He looked at Yan Qing again: "Sir, we have just arrived and we have to ask you to travel a long way. The journey is long and tiring. How hard it is for you." Yan Qing smiled and said.  : "Don't think that I can't compete with Fuyao because I'm older. He may not be better than me in terms of footwork. Since it's the Mongolian Emperor's Great Khan's personal expedition, there must be experts around him. We'd better rush there as soon as possible.  , If the two armies have already clashed, Brother Meng may not send a master to assassinate Chen Dingnan. " "Thank you, sir." Fang Jie gave a fist-waving salute.  No matter what his current status is, the fact that he was a disciple of the Yanwu Academy cannot be changed.  Moreover, Yan Qing took good care of him when he was in the martial arts academy.  Fang Jie's respect for him was not deliberately pretended. When he was in the Yanwu Academy, if it weren't for Yan Qing and another professor Qiu Yu who took more care of him, Fang Jie's life would have been harder.  "After Mr. Chen arrived in the northwest, he told Chen Dingnan not to attack easily. It would have been better if he had known the news earlier. The best place to snipe the Mongolian and Yuan troops is Shandong Road. The terrain there is dangerous. Only Fangu City can stop a Wolf Cavalry.  A while ago. There are many mountainous and dangerous places in Shuyang County, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. But now the Wolf Cavalry is probably about to pass through Shandong Road. Shannan Road is an inverted triangle, sandwiched between Shandong Road and Hexi Road.  The area is not very wide. Even if the Wolf Cavalry marches slowly, it will only take more than twenty days at most." "The terrain of Hexi Road is very flat, and it is a flat river" Fang Jie said: "That is the most unsuitable place to go wild with the Wolf Cavalry.In a certain place, if the number of troops is greater than that of the enemy or equal, even if the morale is better, they can form a formation to block it.  However, the number of wolf cavalry is seven or eight times that of Chen Dingnan's troops. Even forming a formation is meaningless. Meng Ge can easily complete the encirclement by relying on the numerical advantage. Once trapped by the wolf cavalry, the infantry will be in a difficult situation.  " "So, instead of defending the enemy in the most unfavorable place, it is better to abandon the northwest and deploy our troops east of Yishui River.  The Wolf Cavalry did not have a boat, so they had to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river.  Duan Zhengshui is currently in the area of ??Qucheng County, Yong'an. The fastest way is to take the water route, which will take less than twenty-five days to meet up with Chen Dingnan.  By then, with defenses on the east bank of the Yishui River, and with the assistance of the navy, it would not be easy for the Meng Yuan people to cross the river.  " Yan Qing nodded: "I have written it all down, don't worry, the two of us will rush to the northwest faster than the navy.  " The two people were traveling lightly, and their speed was definitely much faster than that of the army. Fang Jie cupped his fists and saluted again: "Thank you, sir.  "      Northwest  Fan Gu This is a very wide place. Many candles have been lit to drive away part of the darkness. However, because it is so large and empty, it still looks a bit eerie. Broken and fallen pillars can be seen everywhere."  , thick steel bars were exposed inside. The dust on the ground was so thick that it felt like stepping on a layer of snow. A young man with withered hair and an ugly face squatted on the ground, looking at a body with only traces left.  The corpse has turned into dust, but the posture of this person before death can still be vaguely seen on the ground. ¡°Master, how long have these people been dead?  "I don't know." Mr. Jiu shook his head: "Maybe thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands of years."  " "Tens of thousands of years!  "The young man was startled and turned his head to look elsewhere: "What killed them in such a deep underground?  hunger?  Or did someone find this place and massacre them?  " "I don't know." Mr. Jiu shook his head again. "For this place, even though he has lived for a long time, he still can't understand it. If he hadn't discovered this place by chance, he doesn't know how long this place would have remained dusty. When he came here,  When Fan Gu arrived, the honest man named Su Tugou and his charming wife named Du Hongxian had not yet arrived. At that time, he was still a very young child. He still vaguely remembered that his parents brought him here from a distance.  There is no trace of where he came from. He can't even remember why his parents took him to such a cold and remote place. He has speculated countless times. Perhaps the most reasonable explanation is.  He had some relatives who served in the Fangu border army, and his parents brought him to join him. Then his parents died of a terrible disease. He remembered that his parents first had a fever and then developed ulcers all over their body. He was driven away by his parents.  They left because they were afraid that their children would also be infected. He didn't know where his parents died. Because his parents didn't go to Fangu at all, he continued his journey alone to avoid all kinds of beasts.  . The hungry Northwest wolf even dared to jump into the village to commit murder. What he felt most fortunate now was that he survived at such a young age. Later, he ate a wild rat alive in a forest.  At that time, he was seen by a passing practitioner and was taken into Fangu City. On the day they entered Fangu, he felt like a young beast walking into the crowd, full of fear.  His heart made all the muscles in his body so tense. At that time, the shop was still empty, and no one stopped him. The man took him to live in Fangu City, taught him how to cultivate, and told him that they  The sect called Yueyingtang was once the most powerful sect in the Central Plains, ruling the entire world. Later, Yueyingtang was defeated by a man named Wan Xingchen, and then Yueyingtang had to choose to leave the most prosperous Central Plains.  The surviving disciples traveled far away and chose the most remote places to live in seclusion. But every few years, they would gather in Chang'an City from all over the place to pay homage to their deceased ancestors and to prepare for the Yueying Hall's comeback.  The disciples of Yueyingtang have been doing this for many years, but they have never been able to recreate the glory of Yueyingtang. Mr. Jiu was very young at that time. When he was not practicing, he began to re-recognize the world. He liked to sit on the street and watch people coming and going.  . But because he was really inconspicuous, even if people saw him, they would not pay attention to him. Until he was a teenager, his cultivation had already surpassed that of the practitioner who taught him.  His master plans to take him to Chang'an City to attend an important gathering of Yueyingtang. Because his cultivation level is already very strong, his master??Prepare him to challenge Tianjun.  But he felt that he was not strong enough, and he saw no point in challenging Mahadeva.  In his opinion, the best thing to do is to be the Lord of the Nine Heavens.  He and his master often quarreled over this matter, and they often ignored each other for several days.  Later, one day when he was sitting on the street watching people coming and going as usual, he saw three strange people entering Fangu.  A skinny man wearing a dirty leather jacket, described as wretched.  A beautiful woman in a bright red dress, very charming.  It is a very strange thing for two people to be together like this, but the strangest thing is that woman is also holding a boy in her hand, a very beautiful boy.  It seems that he is several years younger than me.  But because he was so beautiful, passers-by couldn't help but look at him sideways.  Of course, this is also because the person carrying him is more eye-catching.  Mr. Jiu also kept looking at the young man, feeling that he was really far behind him.  Although he is not ugly, that boy is obviously more likable.  Seemingly feeling his gaze, the beautiful young man also looked at him, and then extended his middle finger towards him. Mr. Jiu still doesn¡¯t understand what that means.  "I should have asked him at that time what that meant" Mr. Jiu, who was stuck in his memory, murmured. The young man turned his head and asked, "Master, what are you talking about?" Mr. Jiu was startled for a moment, then laughed at himself.  He smiled: "Nothing, I just thought of an old friend in this city and a past incident." "Master, how did you discover this place?" the young man asked.  Mr. Jiu found a place to sit down and scanned the place.  This place is very big. He has been living here for several years, so he knows that it is much bigger than Fan Gucheng on the ground.  This is like a huge underground palace, but I don't know when it was built.  "That dayI almost died" he said.  The eyes are a little wandering.
