Chapter 1193: Big Crocodile This is the most difficult battle Fang Jie has ever fought. Since he led the army, he has faced countless enemies. There are many strong men among these enemies, but no enemy in any previous war can be compared with the current situation. Even when facing Meng Ge, the Great Khan of Meng Yuan, Fang Jie never bothered like this. Because we don¡¯t know the enemy well. With the obvious strategies that can be used on the battlefield, Fang Jie has nothing to worry about. But war in this world is never a simple war. Sometimes one person can influence the situation of the war. For example, Wan Xingchen can kill the enemy's leader casually if he wants to. Of course, he did the same thing when the Sui Dynasty was founded. When Emperor Taizu Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty rebelled against Zheng, Emperor Zheng was surrounded by many masters. Wan Xingchen, with one man and one sword, not only kept Yang Jian safe for decades, but even made the Jianghu people everywhere frightened. Later, Yang Jian wanted to get rid of the control of Tonggu Academy, and Wan Xingchen's sword came into play again. Ok? "If it doesn't work, I'll kill him with one sword." Fang Jie's current cultivation level is already very strong. Although it is not as good as Wan Xingchen's back then, he can take the initiative in the arena or on the battlefield. But the Lyman he faced now was a man who had great perseverance and cruelty to transform himself into something unknown. If you are countless times stronger than the enemy, you can of course ignore the enemy's strengths and weaknesses and just kill him. There is no need to think about any strategies, no need to worry about any strategies. Someone once said that any conspiracy is a joke in the face of absolute strength. But, this is not the case now. This battle is not only related to the success or failure of the Black Flag Army, but also related to the life and death of the entire Central Plains world. Lehmann may really have to return to the country to deal with some matters, but when he has the opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Black Flag Army and then continue to invade the Central Plains, he will not give up the opportunity. After the first battle, the Black Flag Army had a slight advantage. They ruined the Lyman fire attack plan, destroyed the siege beasts built by the Opulus, and then annihilated more than 10,000 Opulus troops. This battle boosted morale. The next few days were calm. Fang Jie stood on the city wall, looking at the endless camps in the distance. In terms of scale, the troops brought by Lyman this time are at least 600,000. Fang Jie guessed that Lyman might even have originally planned to return the 600,000 troops to his homeland, but something changed this purpose. If Lyman felt that there was no benefit worth fighting in this battle, he might also withdraw with his troops. "Lord" Liao Sheng hurried over and said: "The news I just received is that the Opulus navy really wanted to go behind us with many troops to intercept Sanjinhou's team, but was intercepted by our water on the waterway. The foreigners did not understand our navy now, so they underestimated our strength. The two generals Duan Zheng and Zheng Qiu joined forces to block the foreign fleet. After a fierce battle, they retreated for about ten miles and were still facing each other. The troops transported by the foreign fleet landed close to the shore and were stopped by General Chen Dingnan's cavalry. After a fierce battle, the foreign troops retreated to the ship. " Fang Jie nodded. Fortunately, he thought enough about it. Sanjinhou¡¯s team is all infantry, and they are extremely tired. If they are suddenly attacked in this situation, the losses will definitely be huge. It seems that Lyman is also a person who attaches great importance to intelligence, otherwise he would not know the situation of the Sanjinhou team. What foreigners may not understand the most right now is the naval strength of the Black Flag Army. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????:?:???????????????????????? The Black Flag Army Navy had a confrontation with the foreign fleet once before, but with the help of the practitioners, the foreign troops were completely wiped out that time, so there was no information sent back. Moreover, Lyman had not arrived at that time, so even if there was information, it was sent to Hullens. This time it was thanks to the navy, otherwise Chen Dingnan¡¯s cavalry might not have been able to catch up. After hearing the information, Fang Jie was relieved. He had to consider both the front and back. And he still had to be careful, Lyman turned around and left. Although Fang Jie has never met or had any contact with Lyman, he can guess what kind of character Lyman is. If the war is really unfavorable, it is not impossible for Lehmann to abandon these hundreds of thousands of elites and return to Opuru alone. Relatively speaking, Lehmann has more choices than Fangjie. "Is there any news from Chang'an City?" Fang Jie asked. Liao Sheng couldn't keep up with Fang Jie's thoughts, and he hesitated for a moment before replying: "The news is from yesterday. There are only a few words in the secret letter sent by the Xiaoqi School from Chang'an City They all met with Ma Qianhu. ¡± Fang Jie knew this news yesterday. Chen Xiaoru and Ma Lilian met. When leaving Chang'an City, Fang Jie once told Chen Xiaoru that if one day things changed drastically, he would go to see Ma Lilian. As long as Chen Xiaoru goes to see Ma Lilian, it means that Chang'an City has indeed reached a very critical moment. He said nothing more and looked towards the Opulus camp again. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ Chang¡¯an City Confucius Temple Dugu Wenxiu sat calmly in front of these people. The decoration style of this secret room was very simple and crude. The walls were made of silver, and the tables and chairs were all made of gold. That's it, that's enough. There is such a luxurious place in the Confucius Temple, which has been dilapidated for who knows how many years. Dugu Wenxiu¡¯s chair was placed alone opposite those people. Those people sat in a row in front of him, looking like the men of the three interrogations, and Dugu Wenxiu was the prisoner being interrogated. He knew very well that he had just reluctantly walked in while sitting here, and he had not really understood this place yet. He didn¡¯t recognize anyone sitting in front of him. "Master Dugu" The middle-aged man who greeted Dugu Wenxiu cordially before, his face became a little cold after sitting down. This man said that his own surname was Dugu, but Dugu Wenxiu could not find out in his mind that there was a person named Dugu in Chang'an City in the past two hundred years. But how can it be simple to be able to sit here? "Speaking of which, maybe there is some relationship between you and me." The middle-aged man touched his bald head and said to Dugu Wenxiu with a half-smile: "Maybe you are curious, there are no powerful people in Chang'an City. The family is named Dugu. My name is Dugu Bingwen. Even if we go back more than two hundred years, we can¡¯t find any trace of the Dugu family As far as I know, your family is from Changle County, Jiangnan. Three hundred and sixty years ago, A branch of the Dugu family migrated from the north to the south of the Yangtze River and settled in Changle County. That's why I said that there is still some relationship between you and me." After hearing this, Dugu Wenxiu's expression immediately changed. . "A descendant of the Zheng Kingdom?" He asked subconsciously. "Exactly" Dugu Bingwen smiled proudly: "Everyone thought that our Dugu family had already withdrawn from the stage of history. In fact, it was just a deliberate act by the family to protect itself. Let me tell you now. After all did you know that Pei Yan, who was once popular under Yang Yi, was just a slave of our Dugu family? Before the fall of Zheng State, the elders of the family knew that the world was about to change, and in order to protect the interests of the family. He began to gradually withdraw from the court At that time, the family deliberately made some small sacrifices. For example, the last queen named Dugu was relegated to the cold palace. Only in this way will people believe that the Dugu family is doomed. " He said slowly. He said slowly: "But what the Dugu family has accumulated for hundreds of years can be said and done? It's just that the ancestors took the initiative to retreat into the darkness. Not many people can know this kind of thing at this level. Pei Yan's ancestors One of them is the steward of our Dugu family. After the Dugu family withdrew from the court, they began to cultivate the Pei family with all their strength, allowing the Pei family members to gradually enter the court. More than two hundred years later, the Pei family has become the most powerful family in Chang'an City. "But a slave is still a slave." Dugu Bingwen said: "Now that I have told you some secrets, I also want to know some secrets about you. Logically speaking, you don't have any." The reason for betraying Fang Jie. After all, your original status was no better than that of ordinary people. It was Fang Jie who promoted you from a scholar to a powerful figure in the court. What is your reason?" He raised his eyebrows. Legs, quietly waiting for Dugu Wenxiu's answer. "Because of saving lives." Dugu Wenxiu took a deep breath and said calmly: "When the Great Zheng was founded, few of the earliest people who followed Emperor Zheng died well. The same was true when the Great Sui was founded. . I am in a high position now because Fang Jie needs me to be in a high position. Once Fang Jie comes back and becomes emperor, he will take back the power in my hands and if he takes it back, he will be wary of me. Dissatisfied, it is very tiring to always be on guard. It is better to kill him." Dugu Bingwen laughed: "You can see clearly." He turned to look at the other people: "This is the Dugu family. The young man is quite honest." The old man sitting next to him frowned slightly and said after a moment of silence: "What you said is correct. This is the fate you have been destined for for a long time. As long as you continue to follow Fang Jie, it will end sooner or later. Same. But I don¡¯t believe you.??¡I always feel like you have some secrets that you haven¡¯t told yet. Being able to enter this door does not mean that you can integrate here. You are still far away from becoming your own person. ""Bai Lao" Dugu Bingwen said with some dissatisfaction: "I am personally responsible for examining this person, and I have checked it carefully. What Bai Lao means is, am I also worthy of suspicion? " The old man who was called Bai Lao replied lukewarmly: "Your Dugu family has no successors now, so you are in a hurry to choose some young people to come in. I have no objection. However, you are still too hasty. " "I call you Bai Lao, just because you are older. " Dugu Bingwen sneered: "What you mean by this is that our Dugu family can be bullied now? "The old man's expression changed, and he was obviously quite wary of Dugu Bingwen. He shook his head and said, "I just mean only by being careful can you sail the thousand-year ship." " Dugu Bingwen said: "I will take care of this person. If he really can't be trusted, people from my Dugu family will naturally step in to get rid of him. " "That's good. The old man said: "Don't forget, this is the time when a single move can affect the whole body." " "Mrs. Bai, be careful. " A man in his thirties stood up and smiled and said: "That Fang Jie is just a baseless person. He seems to be strong now because he is generous enough and knows how to win people's hearts. But once something went wrong with him, the people gathered around him immediately dispersed. Don't think that no one can touch him now that his cultivation is good The layer of water he saw was still too shallow. " This man smiled at Dugu Wenxiu: "The fact that you can think of the previous level shows that you are a smart person. You may not know how much power there is behind these people here. Let me give you a little introductionYou just heard what Brother Dugu said. The Pei family is just a puppet supported by the Dugu family, and if this matter is publicized, it will be a hurricane. However, after the introduction of the people here, you will understand that this is not a hurricane at all, but a natural disaster. " He pointed at himself: "My name is Ye Manwen, and the Ye family also has a puppet family named Yu. " He pointed at the old man: "Lao Bai's family produced seven prime ministers and thirteen generals in four hundred years during the Zhou Dynasty. Later, it disappeared because of the destruction of the Zhou Kingdom. In fact it has always been there. The puppet family currently in Bai Lao's hands is the Liu family. The Liu family is a family that knows how to keep their stature low. There is only one person who can barely get on the stage now, and that is Liu Enjing from the Black Flag Army. " Dugu Wenxiu's heart was shocked! Ye Manwen sat down again and said with a smile: "Now you know, the so-called Yang family's world has actually always been our world. Back then, that Sang created the Tonggu Academy Haha We thought it was a bit interesting and could control more situations, so we sent some unscrupulous people there. Who would have thought that Tonggu Academy actually did a good job. "
