Chapter 996: Respect and fear of the cavalry school

Battle of Qinhe

Almost all of Zheng Ziyu's troops were killed in battle, with tens of thousands of people and only 3,500 captured people. Most of them were injured, and no more than 1,500 were captured alive. On such a battle, the number of wounded people was less than one-tenth of the dead, which shows the tragic battle.

Fang Jie ordered that the injured in Zheng Ziyu's troops should be treated with the injured in the Black Flag Army, and after their injuries were healed, they would decide to stay or leave. As for those uninjured surrendered soldiers, the same is true.

Yan Zeng and Li Tai's troops at Lingmen Pass had retreated. The troops arranged by Zheng Ziyu at Lingmen Pass were trapped to death. Gao Jun, who was originally trying to store water, was defeated by Yan Zeng and retreated to Lingmen Pass. Li Tai's troops patrolled back and forth along the upper reaches of the river. The defenders inside Lingmen Pass were trapped to death and did nothing.

As soon as the war ended in Qinhe, Yan Zeng and Li Tai were ordered to retreat. There was no need to attack Lingmen Pass. There was no need to attack the place, and it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. There was no need to spend troops in such a place. Almost all the soldiers and horses in Zheng Ziyuan were killed in battle, and the Gao family army in Lingmen Pass became an isolated army, and the thousands of troops would not do much. Perhaps, after the Black Flag Army drove away, these thousands of people became bandits.

Fang Jie sent people to surrender, but the defenders in the pass were closed and Fang Jie simply ignored him.

After returning from the battlefield, Fang Jie summoned his generals to study the plan for advancing, and it was not over until the night ended. Xiang Qingniu came several times and Fang Jie was discussing military affairs with his generals, and he did not disturb him. He walked in until the meeting in the tent broke out and yawned and seemed a little bored.

"Is there something wrong?"

Fang Jie asked.

"Nothing big."

Xiang Qingniu sat down on the chair, stretched his waist and said, "It's not about Yueyingtang. I've been thinking about it all these days, and I always feel a little uneasy."

"What did you think of?"

Fang Jiefang lowered the booklet in his hand. It was a report sent from the Zhuque Mountain Camp. Every seven days, such a report would be released from the Zhuque Mountain.

"If Yueying Hall is still there and has penetrated into the Martial Arts Academy, didn't my master notice it when he was there? With his experience, mind and cultivation, if the heavenly kings of Yueying Hall have good cultivation, they should not be able to hide it from him. Also... At that time, the Great Insider's Office had almost no knowledge of the matter in Chang'an City. The flying fish robe of the Great Insider's Office recorded all the sects of all sizes in the underworld of Chang'an City. With the scheming of Luo Weiran and Hou Wenji, it seems unlikely that Yueying Hall would always hide in Chang'an City. After all, it was under the feet of the emperor and it was not so easy to hide."

Fang Jie nodded: "According to the swordsman who was captured by me, the cultivation level of the Heavenly Lord is stronger than the other, then the strongest Nine Heavenly Lord's cultivation level will definitely alarm Mr. Wan. Besides, Mr. Zhuo was still in the Great Inner Guard at that time. He was a perception type practitioner, much stronger than a small waist. There were so many great practitioners hidden in the city, he would not know."

"If Yueying Hall's main hall was not in Chang'an... where would it be?"

Xiang Qingniu frowned and said, "Yueying Hall has been living in the dark for more than 200 years. If it were in Jiangnan, the old guys with all their hands and eyes in Tonggu Academy would not know. It would not be in the southwest. You have turned the southwest upside down. It would not be in the northwest. There was no sign of their shadow in the northwest chaos... Could it be, in the northeast?"

Fang Xie asked: "You are so confused about where the Yueyingtang's headquarters is now, what do you want to do?"

Xiang Qingniu picked up the corner of his mouth: "Mom, these people have bullied Dao Master, I'm on the top of my head. Even if they don't use killing you and me as the main purpose, we will also get rid of it, right? If they can bully him, can't Dao Master be bullied? If Dao Master finds out where their headquarters is, Dao Master will step on it a few times."

"I killed a Heavenly Lord. Even the weakest and least effective Heavenly Lord is unacceptable to Yueyingtang. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will come to him. Wait a little longer, and then you can catch a prisoner with high status and interrogate it. Besides, Sanjin Hou will go to see the leader of the Assassin Sect, and he will probably come back later. He should be able to bring back some useful news."

"I was thinking suddenly..."

Xiang Qingniu glanced at Fang Jie: "Yueying Hall was chosen by my master and then besieged by various sects. Even so, Yueying Hall did not collapse. It has developed in secret for more than 200 years and has now recovered its strong strength... He ordered the Wanjian Hall created by my master to disband, and he did not suffer any trauma... Since Yueying Hall has been continued, will Wanjian Hall..."

Fang Jie felt a little moved when he said it, and he glanced at Xiang Qingniu.

"What do you mean is that you four are just your master's outer disciples? The true direct disciples did not show up at all?"

"Pooh!"

Xiang Qingniu gave Fang Jie a blank look: "The four of us are the direct descendants... But, is my master really only the four of us the direct descendants in this life? It shouldn't be?"

He looked at Fang Jie, and both of them felt that this matter seemed unreasonable.

Zhuque Mountain Camp

After Fang Jie led the army to fight, the troops left behind in the Zhuque Mountain camp had nothing to do except practice every day, and they were calm. A large village had formed near the Daxing camp. At that time, the people of Huangyang Road knew that relying on Zhuque Mountain would be safe, so they gradually moved here to live.

These people were all fed from the Black Flag Army, and the villages were built by the Black Flag Army soldiers, so the people felt intimate from the hearts of the Black Flag Army. The land was distributed to the people, and they gave half of the food they had collected to the Black Flag Army and left half for themselves. It was not a big deal better than before. Every family had surplus grain and every household had surplus money. If Huangyang Road is now the most peaceful place in the entire Central Plains, it would not be an exaggeration.

When the people are slack in the farming season, they will go to Zhuque Mountain to find some work. The camp is constantly improving, and the Navy Dock is constantly transforming. In order to ensure that larger warships go out in Xuanwu Lake, the river channel must be widened. The Black Flag Army will never deduct the people's wages, and the meals are good.

This is not only the near Zhuque Mountain, but also the entire Huangyang Road.

You Enzhi, a hundred household of the Xiaoqi School, took more than a dozen Xiaoqi Schools out of the Zhuqueshan Camp and went to several nearby counties according to the convention. According to the rules set by Fang Shu, the people of Huangyang Road can directly talk to the Xiaoqi School to tell their grievances. The Xiaoqi School regularly patrolled the county towns, which has become a convention.

However, Huang Yangdao is very good at governing both the officials and the people. It was the time of entrepreneurship that Fang Jie was very responsible for his civil servants and generals.

You Enzhi actually knew that nothing would happen this time.

The team set out from Zhuque Mountain Camp, and more than a dozen fast horses traveled along the official road. At that time, Huangyang Road had not suffered any war, so the official road was very intact. After Fang Jie started the governance, he sent people to repair it.

"Baihu, where are you going first this time?"

A cavalryman asked.

The inspection route of the Xiaoqi School is not fixed, so it is prevented that if a vicious official knows the inspection route of the Xiaoqi School in advance, he will be prepared.

"Go to Dongxian County first, it is the same rule. Don't disturb the local governments, just put a case on the street and wait for the people to come and make an injustice. If there is no case, we will stay in Dongxian County for one day and go to Xilai County early the next morning."

You Enzhi thought about the answer, and then said a little lost: "The Lord will lead most of the brothers to make achievements in the north with the lord. If we stay at home are lazy, we will be even more incomparable. You must know that we can make a lot of military achievements on the battlefield, and we can only ensure that we can't make any mistakes. If we slacken any more, those brothers who have made contributions will immediately take over our current chores after we come back."

"What Baihu said makes sense."

Another cavalry school said: "As long as we keep working diligently, the president cannot abolish us for no reason."

"So, although I know that something is impossible to happen on this trip, I still don't relax. I will do whatever I should do. Wait until I come back and take a rest."

"Here!"

More than a dozen cavalry schools won the game at the same time, and then urged the horse to rush forward. When the farmlands passed along the way and the farmers in the fields all got up to say hello when they saw the cavalry schools traveling. Although those cavalry schools would not give back the gifts, the people would not blame anything. Because they also understood that the cavalry schools should still maintain their due dignity. Besides, if they gave back the gifts one by one, they would not rush to the road.

When it was about to get dark every day when it was the ninth day of going out, You Enzhi and the others stopped to rest in a place called Fangshanting Town. This place was not far from Dongxian County. They were resting here for one night and they happened to go to the city to work in the morning tomorrow morning. You Enzhi asked someone to find an inn and told the boss not to promote the people from the Xiaoqi School to move in.

The inn owner is a very talkative man in his fifties. He has a dark face and looks very honest.

After arranging food and accommodation for You Enzhi and the others, the boss had to say goodbye and leave. According to convention, You Enzhi warned the boss not to disclose their whereabouts to Dongxian County. The boss smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are here to do things for the people, and we will not ruin your business."

Just when I was about to go out, the boss suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Lord Baihu."

The boss turned around and came back, looked out, then lowered his voice and said, "There is a young man living in my inn, less than an hour earlier than you. He looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his skin is dark. He is obviously walking far away and was sunburned by the sun. He is alone, carrying a very small luggage, and he can only put down some money... How can anyone who travels far away do not bring an umbrella or a few clothes to change clothes?"

“This is not the most important thing.”

The boss came over and lowered his voice: "When I was having a raw meal, I asked me a lot about Zhuque Mountain Camp, asked how far the Zhuque Mountain Camp was, and asked who was the decision on the mountain now, and asked if the Duke's family was still on the mountain."

The instinctive reaction made You Enzhi's face change. He suddenly stood up and grabbed the boss's hand: "How do you answer?"

The boss was startled and quickly explained: "I just asked and didn't know anything. When I saw that guy was not kind. We were all kind to the prince, how dare we talk nonsense. I planned to wait for him to go to Dongxian County to report to the officials at night."

You Enzhi let go of his hand and nodded: "It's okay. Which room does that person live in? Have you ever carried weapons on him?"

"I didn't see the package with weapons, the small one..."

The boss thought for a while: "By the way, he rode a very strange horse. I haven't seen it before, and it's in the backyard. There seemed to be a package on the horse's back, and he didn't take it down."

You Enzhi looked at his subordinates and smiled at the boss: "Well, you don't have to go to Dongxian County to report to the official position for this matter. We will check him later. Don't worry, there will be no problem if we are there."

The boss nodded quickly: "We are both impatient, respectful and afraid of the Xiaoqi School. I am naturally relieved to be here. Who doesn't know the name of our Black Flag Army Xiaoqi School? No one dares to cause trouble in Huangyang Road."

"Ha ha"

You Enzhi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of us. As long as we stick to ourselves, we will not come to you randomly."
