(Early birds get monthly tickets) Chapter 1021 Shocking Situation and What Happened That Day "The Mongolians have strong military strength, and there is no regular army to resist in the northwest. Even if there are local righteous men who stand up, they will not be able to deal with the millions of Mongolian troops." It makes no sense" Wu Yiyi looked at the map, his expression becoming more serious: "So, we cannot rule out the possibility that Meng Ge will divide his troops and advance. Kuoketai Menglie had been in the northwest for at least two years. Northwest must be very aware of it. As long as Yan is not a fool, he will definitely carry the topographic map of the Sui Dynasty with him when he leaves." His finger is in one place: "If I were Meng Ge, I already know that we have hundreds of thousands of troops in Hedong. After all, there is still a navy blocking the way. Instead of putting all the troops into forcibly crossing the Yishui River, it is better to detach a group of troops and go south from Shuyang County, pass through Zhengcheng, Niuzhou, and go straight to Mangdang Mountain. It is impossible to cross Mangdang Mountain, so if the Wolf Cavalry wants to go to the southwest, it can only go here. " "Lingmen Pass" Wu Yiyi glanced at Fang Jie: "We can't go through Lingmen Pass if we march from the southwest. However, if you want to go to the southwest from the northwest, you must go through Lingmen Pass. If most of Meng Ge's men are infantry, they can go directly over Mangdang Mountain and then cross the Huangniu River to the southwest. But his men are all cavalry. To make the wolf cavalry abandon their horses and fight on foot would cost them most of their lives, so if Meng Ge really divides his troops, he must go through Lingmen Pass and then cross the Qin River" This route is right before the Black Flag Army. later. Fang Jie let out a heavy breath: "If you want to fight the enemy, you must first think about what is best for the enemy, instead of thinking about what is best for yourself. The path that the Marquis just mentioned is very important to Brother Meng." "It is undoubtedly the best choice." Chen Xiaoru looked at it for a while, but he was not very good at military affairs, so he didn't dare to interrupt. Wu Yiyi thought for a while and then said: "Yes If Meng Ge divides his troops, nine times out of ten he will take the Lingmen Pass road. After coming out of Lingmen Pass, you can go straight to Southwest and Jiangnan to the south. To the north We can take our back route Although it's a long way out, it's like" Fang Jie continued what he said: "Uppercut!" His fingers followed the route Wu Daodao said. It slid across the map: "Although it is indeed a long way to go, the Mongolian people are all cavalry, and the physical exertion of the soldiers has little effect on them. Without such a large cavalry team, this uppercut would not be possible at all. Come out." Wu Yiyi frowned: "Now, do we need to take precautions in advance?" He looked at the map and said with a heavy tone: "We have already divided one hundred thousand troops to join Chen Dingnan in the northwest, and we still have to face Gao Kaitai's troops. We still don't know what Gao Kaitai is. Thinking about it, is he not moving now because he and the Mengyuan people are not in the same group, or because he is simply waiting for the Meng Yuan people? If Brother Meng really sends someone to come behind us on this road, what will happen to Gao Kaitai? This is the best time. If he doesn't move now, he may not be recuperating. Therefore, if we divide our troops to attack Lingmen Pass and set up defenses at the pass, our strength will be even thinner. Nodding: "If Gao Kaitai comes to see me, he and the Meng Yuan people are probably on the same road. If he doesn't come nine times out of ten, he is waiting for the Meng Yuan people to get behind me." "It's really cruel. " Wu Yidao suddenly thought of the people from Yueyingtang: "The people from Yueyingtang assassinated the generals in the army. In fact, they didn't expect Gao Kaitai to win by relying on this. The people from Yueyingtang came just to disturb our sight. Then. Send masters to the southwest to try to assassinate the lord's wife and children, leaving the lord unconcerned with the military" Chen Xiaoru was shocked: "This turns out to be a serial plan!" "Nine times out of ten, that's what happened." Wu Daodao couldn't calm down: " Fortunately, the lord asked me to stay, otherwise the army would be in chaos and no one would be in charge, so they would not notice the wolf cavalry coming from Lingmen Pass. Now Lingmen Pass is still in the hands of Gao Kaitai's men. If they were. Together, the wolf rode through Lingmen Pass with ease" "They just didn't expect that the lord would return to the southwest so fast!" Wu Yiyi continued to speculate: "If the lord returns to the southwest, according to the normal itinerary, It takes at least three months to go back and forth. These three months are more than enough for the Wolf Cavalry to walk from the northwest to Lingmen Pass! "It's a pity their calculations were so perfect, and the flaw was that they didn't understand the lord." They returned to the southwest so quickly and did not expect that the people they sent would be easily killed by the lord. If I am not mistaken, their calculation was" Wu Yiyi pondered for a while and said: "Forcing the lord to return to the southwest can help. Of course it would be best to kill the lord. If you can¡¯t kill the lord, you can also delay him by traveling back and forth.??Lord. If some of the army's chief generals are assassinated by them, there will be no one in charge, and the army will be in chaos. At this time, the Wolf Cavalry has also come over from Lingmen Pass and is attacking from the north and south with Gao Kaitai What they want is to swallow up our Black Flag Army in one go! " Chen Xiaoru's thoughts were straightened out by Wu Yiyi's words. His expression changed: "Then the Meng Yuan people's team will join forces with Gao Kaitai's army to march to the northwest, and they will be able to trap General Chen Dingnan's troops to death. " "What a plan! " Wu Yiyi couldn't help but sigh: "People with this layout have really broad horizons! How could an ordinary person see such a large area? Once this situation is established, our Black Flag Army will be in danger. This man mobilized Meng Yuan's million-strong army, mobilized Gao Kaitai's troops, and even wanted to mobilize our Black Flag Army to follow his path This man's scheming is a bit scary. " Northwest Fan Gu "Master, what did you see when you went up? " The young man squatted there and asked with his jaw drawn. At this time, he had already been attracted by the past told by the master. For him, this past did not have so many feelings, but it was definitely an attractive and good story. At his age "Dead man" Mr. Jiu said in a calm tone, "Dead man?" The young man was stunned: "The couple in the shop above are dead?" Aren't their cultivation levels pretty good? How could they be killed so easily? Could it be that the Four Heavenly Lord left and came back? " "No" Mr. Jiu shook his head: "Looking at the cultivation base of those two people individually, they are both ninth level. It is not difficult for the Four Heavenly Lords to defeat one of them, but the two couples may have been together for a long time. They are too familiar with each other. If the two of them join forces, it will be difficult for the Four Heavenly Lords to win. " His eyes flickered: "I found many novel things in this underground palace, but I can't understand them. This place fascinated me, and I immediately decided to continue my exploration while practicing here. But the stomach has to be filled after all. There is nothing to eat here, and even the body has only traces left, and has long since turned into dust. I slowly climbed up along the well wall and tried my best to lift the big stone carefully, but found that the two couples were not in the shop. " "It felt quiet when I first came out, but soon the sound of screams floated over" Mr. Jiu paused, and then said with some emotion: "There are killings in the city I didn't know what was happening at first. , went up to a high place and looked out quietly, and found that heavy armored cavalry were killing people everywhere in the city. The common people were gathered by the cavalry in the market in the west of the city. No one guessed that the cavalry gathered them not to announce some important event, but to drive them all out. " He glanced at his disciple: "I just watched there, watching the cavalry plowing through the crowd over and over again like an iron plow. Wherever the heavy armored cavalry passed, all the people turned into stumps. Arms were broken, and I don¡¯t know how many people were trampled to pulp by war horses. It was the first time I saw the army slaughtering people Even I was frightened. " He was silent for a while, recalling what happened that day. That day, he deliberately concentrated on searching in the crowd, but he did not find the figure of the beautiful young man, nor did he find the figure of his two guards, nor did he find the two couples in the shop. At that time, he was relieved for the young man, thinking that he had escaped such a disaster. "When I saw this scene, I naturally wanted to know why it happened. The army of the Sui Dynasty massacred the people of the Sui Dynasty" Mr. Jiu glanced at the young man and asked: "What is the easiest way to find out what happened? " "Find someone to ask. " The young man answered naturally. Mr. Jiu smiled bitterly, and simply gave up the desire to develop his disciple's potential in this area, because he found that this disciple had no potential in this area at all. " The easiest way is to find an order to kill someone. that person. "Mr. Jiu continued: "It was not difficult for me to find this person, but this person's cultivation level was actually very high. It took me a lot of effort to quietly approach him. If you want to know the truth, you don't need to ask, you just need to get close to him, connect what you see and hear, and you can naturally guess it. That day, there was no need for me to even guess" "The man who ordered the massacre was called Li Yuanshan. He was a general in the Sui Dynasty. His ancestor was Li Xiao, the most admirable person in the history of the Sui Dynasty. Half of the territory was conquered by him. The reason why Li Yuanshan ordered the massacre of the city was because someone found out that he was going to rebel. ¡± His eyes were slightly squinted, and everything he saw and heard that day was clear.The memories came up. Li Yuanshan stood under the persimmon tree in the courtyard of the General's Mansion in Fan Gucheng and glanced at Li Xiaozong: "You didn't do this well. If you could do it, if Wu Peisheng died in an accident, why would I bring him with me?" Massacre of the city? If you can't find a scapegoat, I can only blame the Meng Yuan people for this massacre. But the emperor is not an idiot, and it is not easy to hide it from him. We also need to deal with the worms in Chang'an City and let them join forces. Come out and let the emperor believe it." Li Xiaozong lowered his head and said with a trembling voice: "General, I originally wanted to pass this matter to that Fang Jie. His origin is unknown and there are two masters beside him. , asked Wu Peisheng to kill Fang Jie, and then I took the opportunity to kill Wu Peisheng, and then blamed Fang Jie for killing Wu Peisheng. Although this was not a clever plan, it was still reasonable I just didn't expect that it would lead out of the city. A few real masters came out." "No need to say any more." Li Yuanshan waved his hand: "Now the city has been massacred, and the eight hundred border troops under your command have been killed. What you need to do is to prepare what to say. Chang'an City will definitely send troops. Someone came to check. Wu Peisheng was the eunuch Bingbi during the late emperor's time, and he had a high position. Even if Yang Yi didn't trust him and deprived him of his job, this person's words still carried too much weight. He wanted to stand up and regain Yang Yi's important position. That's why I came to patrol the northwest. He was lucky, and he found out about me digging iron ore to prepare for war There are too many people involved in this matter, so there will be many people in the court to help me. You just need to. Don't say anything wrong. As for the subordinates you lost, I will give you more in the future." "I made a note of it," Li Xiaozong said with his head lowered. "Well" "Let's just leave it like this. Wu Peisheng's weight is so important that it's enough to have the people of Fangu City and the border troops to bury him with him. However, the Meng Yuan people don't bear this blame for nothing. They will have to bear it sooner or later anyway. Enter!"
