Chapter 197: The troops have been raised, and the five states have been connected
After walking out of the temporary cell of Xuanjian Division, Fang Jue said:
"Take this man into custody, don't let him die, and don't let him escape."
Fang Jue told Ye Hongyi: "He is very valuable."
"valuable?"
"If Luo Yang succeeds in usurping the throne in Beiliang, this person will become valuable and he will definitely find a way to redeem him."
Ye Hongyi suddenly realized: "It's like the Northern Liang royal family redeemed Chen Zhi?"
Fang Jue nodded.
Speaking of Chen Zhi, Fang Jue suddenly felt a little lucky.
"Yes, Chen Zhi has returned to Beiliang. He will be wary of Luo Yang..."
Chen Zhi returned to Beiliang before Luo Yang!
But Luo Yang didn't know about this yet.
If Chen Zhi is smart enough, he may be able to detect what Luo Yang wants to do, and then the Northern Liang royal family will be on guard against Luo Yang.
In this way, it would not be so easy for Luo Yang to rebel.
Even if it succeeds, Beiliang will inevitably suffer internal strife, and Luo Yang will not be able to succeed easily.
"Will Chen Zhi realize that he should be on guard against Luo Yang?" Ye Hongyi had obviously thought of this, but was a little unsure.
Chen Zhi is really not very useful. Among the border troops on the southern border of Beiliang, he is more like a supervisor sent by the Emperor of Beiliang than a deputy commander.
"Then it's hard to say. Just leave it to fate. I hope Chen Zhi and the Beiliang royal family are not stupid enough." Fang Jue shook his head.
It was too late to inform the Northern Liang royal family at this time.
Fang Hong also made it clear that Luo Yang planned to return to Beiliang and start an army immediately. It was too late to tell the Beiliang Emperor now.
Besides, why did Fang Jue tell Beiliang?
Let them fight among themselves and let them wear out, this will be beneficial to Daxia.
Once Luoyang raises troops, there will be no retreat, and the Northern Liang royal family will have no retreat. Whoever loses will definitely die.
So this time, there will definitely be chaos within Beiliang. At least within a few years, there will be no spare power to invade the northern border of Daxia.
"If Fang Hong hadn't told lies and Luo Yang really wanted to raise an army, the northern border should be stable within three to five years." Thinking of this, Fang Jue finally felt relieved.
Luoyang needs time to stabilize the government and intimidate the generals from all sides, so Beiliang will have no time to control the outside world.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Fang Jue had a strange thought: "Luoyang's rebellion will inevitably lead the border troops from the southern border of Beiliang to the capital of Beiliang... Then their southern border will be empty. Can we take advantage of it?"
He turned around and looked at Ye Hongyi behind him.
Qin Mengchi did not follow him. He was still watching Fang Hong in the cell, and wanted to drug him from time to time, fearing that he would commit suicide.
"this?"
Ye Hongyi's eyes were also brightened, and she didn't expect that she could be the guest.
"But, could this be Luo Yang's conspiracy again, deliberately designed to lure you deeper?" Ye Hongyi said with some fear.
Luo Yang was rumored to be invincible. After several rounds of this fight, Daxia didn't get any advantage.
The only result of the battle, Chen Zhi, was deliberately abandoned by Luo Yang.
Such a person is so smart and powerful that people are afraid of him.
Even Fang Jue is not sure that he can beat him in military strategy.
"There is no need to worry about this. The mobilization of a large army is not like a small force that can be hidden. Our spies in Beiliang will come back with the news."
Fang Jue said: "I have to go to Suzhou Pigeon House to see if there is any movement in Luo Yang in Emperor Zun Pavilion."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Ye Hongyi, on the other hand, returned to the Xuanjian Division station, wrote a secret letter about what Fang Jue and Fang Hong said today, and ordered people to send it back to the capital.
After sending the people away, Ye Hongyi turned around and saw Qin Mengchi, looking at him with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that Young Master will be angry if you do this?" Qin Mengchi asked with a smile.
Ye Hongyi frowned: "Aren't you afraid that I will silence you?"
"Are you sure you can kill me when I'm ready?" Qin Mengchi smiled sadly, playing with a bottle of potion that had already been uncorked.
I don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely not a tonic.
Ye Hongyi didn't quarrel with her and said calmly: "This is my responsibility. He knows it, otherwise he wouldn't let me hear those words."
"Yeah?"
Qin Mengchi nodded and leaned against the door frame: "What were you thinking about when Fang Hong said those words? Should you follow Fang Jue, or force him to stay, or even kill him to avoid future troubles for Daxia?"
If Fang Jue is really tempted by Luo Yangkai's conditions, what choice will Ye Hongyi make?
"I don't know..." Ye Hongyi shook her head, unwilling to answer the question directly. She had always been unwilling to choose between Daxia and Fang Jue.
"I checked on you." Qin Mengchi suddenly changed the subject.
Um?
Ye Hongyi looked back: "Why are you interested in me?"
"Although you entered the Xuanjian Division and cut off contact with the Ye family, you still value the Ye family very seriously... Even when you first came into contact with Fang Jue, I suspect you just wanted to use a honey trap to get Fang Jue.
I feel sorry for the Ye family."
Qin Mengchi frowned and smiled: "Am I right?"
Family ties, in any era, are always valued by the mainstream.
Not to mention, in this era of feudal imperial power, these things are even more important in the hearts of the world.
Although Ye Hongyi has separated from her family, she does not regard the Ye family as a stranger and still retains sufficient family affection.
Everyone can see this.
"Why do you think so?" Ye Hongyi refused to admit it, "Mind your own business first. Has Bai Qing's slender head fully understood it?"
Qin Mengchi chuckled: "In a hurry, you started to change the topic, which means that I was right... do you really like Fang Jue?"
"It's boring. I still have things to do. If you have a lot of free time, help interrogate the bandits caught along the way." Ye Hongyi said coldly and walked past him.
…
"Young Pavilion Master?"
The steward of the pigeon house in Suzhou paid his respects to Fang Jue when he saw him.
Fang Jue rolled his eyes: "Who asked you to shout like that..."
"The old Pavilion Master has said that he will pass the throne to you in the future." The steward smiled and handed over his hand.
Too lazy to dwell on this anymore, Fang Jue asked directly:
"Is there any news about Beiliang, the movements in Luoyang and the movements of the border troops in the southern border of Beiliang?"
The steward shook his head: "My subordinates have been staying here, just waiting for Luo Yang's movements. The old pavilion master wrote a letter saying that we should pay special attention to it."
"Old man?"
Fang Jue was a little surprised: "Does he actually know what Luo Yang is planning?"
There was a moment, especially after losing several battles with Luo Yang, that Fang Jue once doubted his IQ.
These ancients should not be underestimated. They only have knowledge that transcends the times, but they do not have the intelligence to crush them.
It's better to stay humble.
The old man is still in the capital, busy arranging marriage arrangements for himself, but he is also paying attention to the north, and has even reached out to Beiliang.
The spies of the Emperor Zun Pavilion are not even comparable to those of the Xuanjian Division.
"Then I'll leave first. If you get a letter, be sure to notify me as soon as possible." After that, Fang Jue left with the soldiers from the Musket Bureau.
flutter--
Just as he turned around, he saw a row of white pigeons flying past and landing on the ground of the pigeon house.
The steward skillfully took out a handful of wheat and threw it over, while the pigeons happily pecked at it and walked closer to the pigeon cage.
Fang Jue also stopped: "Go and have a look."
The steward stepped forward, opened the small mailbox on the pigeon's leg, took out the letter paper, glanced at it and handed it over happily.
"Young Pavilion Master, it's news from the north. What a coincidence!" The steward was overjoyed.
Fang Jue's brows stretched and he smiled: "What a coincidence?"
After that, he twisted the letter paper and scanned the contents.
"Luo Yang led his troops to attack Liangjing, and has already conquered five states..." After reading the content silently, he felt that he couldn't help but hold his breath.
Damn it, this ratio is really rebellious!
Moreover, he had already started his attack. After returning to Beiliang from Lizhou, he immediately launched an army.
It had only been less than half a month, and five states had been captured. Although some of them surrendered voluntarily and rebelled, this also shows that Luo Yang had already prepared everything.
At this speed, I'm afraid the Northern Liang royal family won't be able to react in time!
"Luo Yang had already led his troops to raise troops thirteen days ago. Why did the news arrive today?" Fang Jue asked.
The manager scratched his head: "My subordinates don't know either. We don't have an official pigeonhouse in Beiliang. We only rely on informants to send information. Maybe it's because of strict control that we can't send it out."
"By the way, Luo Yang has a few snow falcons. If they are intercepted intentionally, our flying pigeons will not be able to come back..." Fang Jue then remembered this.
"Snow Falcon?" The steward suddenly said, "That's it. No wonder there has been no news for so many days, and they were all intercepted!"
Not only can the snow falcon carry messages, it is much faster than pigeons. It even has pigeons in its diet, and even some hawks are its meals.
If there are a few snow falcons, the airspace can be controlled within a certain area to prevent flying pigeons from transmitting messages.
"Even the flying pigeons are counted?"
Fang Jue bared his teeth, feeling that he had really learned a lesson. This Luo Yang was so smart that he even thought of being on guard against the Emperor Zun Pavilion.
The news was so tightly sealed that Luo Yang and his troops had already arrived in the hinterland outside Gyeonggi Province in Beiliang.
