Chapter 277 Luo Yang: A young man who knows how to advance and retreat
Beiliang, Mozhou.
A snow falcon hovered at the top of the city, attracted by a whistle, and landed in the military camp.
The snow falcon flew down and grabbed Luo Yang's shoulder.
Luo Yang stroked Snow Falcon's head skillfully, gently and delicately, and then slowly opened the small tubes on Snow Falcon's legs and feet.
After taking out the secret message, Luo Yang translated the content without the need to find another person to translate it.
"Fang Jue ordered people to climb Bailong Snow Mountain and blow up thousands of years of snow..."
That was a secret message from Luo Hao, in order to let Luo Yang know as soon as possible whether there had been any changes in the direction of Linzhou.
"As expected."
Luo Yang was happy and surprised.
When the military advisor Boye beside him heard this, he was also shocked: "Commander, does Fang Jue really have such magical powers?"
After hearing what Luo Yang read out, Boye could not imagine that someone could actually do such a thing.
He also didn't expect that there could be such a way to isolate Linzhou from southern Beiliang.
Luo Yang crushed the letter and blew it in the wind: "When Shuangzhou City was destroyed and Linzhou City was destroyed, Long Xuewei's spies were present. After seeing and hearing some things, I later guessed that Fang Jue had mastered a secret technique."
General Xia's army easily destroyed the city gate and told Bo Ye.
"I see, no wonder the commander has such a plan." Although he was shocked that there was such power in the world, Boye quickly calmed down and understood that all this was Luo Yang's plan.
"I'm afraid that the young master of Daxia thinks he has done a shocking feat, but he doesn't know that he is being used by the commander. Our original intention is to isolate Linzhou from our department." Boye said with a smile.
Luo Yang smiled and glanced at his military advisor:
"That Fang Jue may not know that he is being used by me, but he does it willingly."
"Oh?" Boye pretended.
Luo Yang said: "We are going to seal the Bailong Snow Mountain Pass. I'm afraid Fang Jue has already figured it out. If Ming appears on the western front, he will be aware of this."
"Then why did he seal the pass and not take the opportunity to continue heading north?" Boye was indeed a little confused. This was a good opportunity.
On the western front, the Western Chu Army is confronting Beiliang. If Mingdu goes there, Luo Yang will never dare to leave Mozhou.
Because at this time, if Luo Yang leaves, Emperor Liang will not mind stabbing him in the back and taking the opportunity to regain the Black Water States.
If Luoyang wants to establish itself, it must first establish a foothold in the Blackwater area and stay here for a long time.
Then, wouldn't it be great if the Xia army had the opportunity to continue going north and seize several states?
"This is also the enemy that surprised me the most. I thought that because of his achievements at such a young age, he would be ignorant of the heights of the world... But I didn't expect that he could judge the situation in this way and know how to advance and retreat."
Luo Yang said sincerely: "If I had been as alert as him when I was young, I wouldn't have been forced to raise an army now... Sigh."
He sighed softly, expressing his helplessness.
Raising an army to rebel was not Luo Yang's idea from the beginning of joining the army.
Over the years, Luo Yang's prestige among the Beiliang army has become higher and higher. This is all the result of being too arrogant in his youth and not knowing how to advance or retreat.
Even if he realizes it now, it's too late. He can't retreat. Once he retreats, it will be difficult to be treated as kindly as Ye Xuanfeng.
What's more, he is not willing to give up power easily.
It was inevitable that in the future the birds would be gone, so Luo Yang had to prepare as early as possible. This was a matter of ambition and helplessness.
"What is the commander talking about? What does it have to do with Fang Jue not continuing to go north?" Boye wondered.
"Military advisor," Luo Yang looked to the south, his eyes seeming to penetrate the void and fall on the young man, "Fang Jue is only in his twenties. He is already a young master of Daxia. He is the second-grade officer who has been supervised by the Musket Bureau. Now he is also a soldier.
The second-grade general of Peking University..."
"The military exploits of defeating four states are enough for him to rise one or two levels... almost to the top."
"If he has more merits, Emperor Xia will have to make him a marquis."
Luo Yang said: "This is definitely not a good thing for such a young Fang Jue."
"Tsk...yes!"
Boye suddenly realized: "The commander-in-chief really has a sharp eye, he can actually see through this layer!"
Fang Jue is too young. He has already been promoted to the second rank, and he still has the false title of first rank.
And after this triumph, he will definitely be promoted again.
If this continues, you will soon face a situation where there are no seals and no rewards.
If he were a civil servant, there would be ways to add false titles, but if he made further achievements in the field of generals and military power... Ye Xuanfeng would be his future.
The best result is to give in and become the second Ye Xuanfeng.
If Emperor Xia doesn't trust him, then Luo Yang can serve as a warning to Fang Jue.
Therefore, in terms of military achievements, I feel that it is not appropriate to achieve success in the near future.
"If I guess correctly, Fang Jue will go back soon, and He Feng will be in charge of the overall situation in the northern border of Daxia." Luo Yang analyzed.
"He Feng?"
This person's name is also very popular. Although he has never fought against him in the north, Boye also understands the value of this name.
"When this person was young, he could be called the second Ye Wudi, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." Boye said seriously.
He Feng is a few years older than Luo Yang. He was really tough when he was young and he was also a figure who could scare away thousands of troops in front of the battle.
Such a legend is no better than that of Luo Yangruo. It is only because Daxia rarely conquered, He Feng's later military exploits were not so impressive.
"The Xia Emperor openly banished He Feng and reached a tacit agreement with the He family. The He family gave up military power in Gyeonggi Province to reassure the Xia Emperor. The Xia Emperor changed hands and handed over the northern territory to He Feng."
"Isn't Emperor Xia worried that He Feng will have second thoughts?" Boye wanted to see a good show. If the He family rebelled, it would definitely be a huge slap in Emperor Xia's face.
Luo Yang chuckled: "Thanks to the blessings of generations of ministers, the He family can be said to be the best in Great Xia. If He Feng could have second thoughts, Great Xia would have been at war long ago."
"If I, Luo Yang, had a family background to rely on, why would I have to sing all the way without daring to fall? Those people would seize the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog..."
Luo Yang couldn't help but sigh. His Luo family was not a rich and noble family, but it only became popular because of his rise.
It's a bit bitter, but it's not enough for outsiders. No one joins the army just to rebel and become emperor.
Who has entered an official position with a heart full of helping the world and saving the people, but in the end his heart gradually grew cold.
…
Linjiang.
The Firearms Battalion and the Yulin Army met here.
The river is more than twenty feet wide, blocking the road in front.
The newly built bridge is shaky and does not look very trustworthy.
Fortunately, Fang Jue didn't plan to cross the river by walking on the bridge.
There is a dock and ferry at Linjiang River. The Northern Liang Army had previously hid the ships together. After more than a month, the Xia Army had long since found them.
The army began to cross the river, but the boats here were too small, and it would take at least a day to transport the entire army across the other side.
"There are too few ships. If we need to increase our troops or return to the south bank in the future, it will be too slow."
Fang Jue said: "Record this. When I return to Beijing, I will report it and ask the Ministry of Works to send someone to supervise the construction of the big ship."
"Yes..." the chief secretary of the army responded. He didn't know how many things he had memorized, just what Fang Jue had ordered.
I was speechless in my heart. This is a military report. Only you, the young master, can regard this as a memorandum.
"General, why can't we follow Beiliang's example and build dams upstream to intercept the water flow?" Lin Bei asked.
Doing so has the lowest cost and can also be the biggest weapon in the army's retreat.
If the enemy dares to pursue him, he will try to flood the three armies with one hand.
Fang Jue shook his head: "Luoyang has already planned to abandon these states, and that's why he doesn't care about the lives of the people. We can't follow suit."
"Yes, the Linjiang River is the most important water source in this area. Once it is intercepted, the people downstream of the river will suffer."
In the lower reaches of Linjiang River, many people who rely on this river for food will die if this waterway is missing.
Wei Feng said: "The general is so kind. He has regarded the people of Beiliang as my subjects of Daxia."
Ye Hongyi reminded: "General Wei and the people of Beiliang have always been my subjects of Daxia."
"Oh, yes, yes... yes, I made a mistake." Wei Feng added with a smile.
Fang Jue said with a smile: "Luo Yang used me to block the White Dragon Snow Mountain, which means that he has completely given up on confronting me and wants to leave these four states to deal with Xi Chu."
"We have plenty of time to stand firm here. We will then dispatch officials to manage these four states. We cannot leave others with a tragic situation."
"Yes, if there is a disaster like Suzhou everywhere, the imperial treasury will not be able to sustain it." Wei Feng said with a smile.
"Speaking of Suzhou, I received some news." Ye Hongyi looked at the two of them with a somewhat ugly look on her face. This chapter has been completed!
