Chapter 893 That island

Fang Jie expanded the map and looked at the place marked above: "Ono City has been taken down, the defenders of Yugu Ridge fled without fighting, and Yaning City behind Liulandu has also been taken down..."

Fang Jie stretched out his body: "The resistance is softer than expected."

Wu Yidao smiled: "North Sudao has been plowed by Yang Jian's iron armored army. Most of these soldiers were private soldiers recruited by various families when the bandits in North Sudao were severe a while ago. After Yang Jian broke through North Sudao, the former rebels ran away. For a while, there were almost no soldiers garrisons in North Sudao, so the bandits were rampant. Yang Jian's thoughts were all on the rebels, and the troops were actually limited, so there was no suppression of bandits at all."

"Now the Sun family, Zhao family, and Liu family are basically either the rioters recruited at that time, or the private soldiers recruited, with limited combat power."

Fang Jie nodded: "Leave it to the people below to fight. Now there are more and more teams in hand, and the stalls are spreading bigger and bigger. I can't personally command every battle. The scariest one is the general."

"Can you enable Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong?"

Wu Yidao asked.

"Let him train his troops for the time being."

Fang Jie shook his head: "It's time for them to look back."

"Is there any new news over Liuzhou City?"

Fang answers questions

Chen Xiaoru, who stood on one side, quickly replied: "The day before yesterday was a day when the news was sent back, and there was no more. The people from the court outside Liuzhou City fought more than a dozen battles with Shengmao's troops, and basically the team of Shengmao had never won. However, with the restraint of Jin Shixiong behind him, Liuzhou City was still stable for the time being. In his mind, Jin Shiduo definitely did not want to hang himself on the same rope as Shengmao, but he was in Liuzhou now."

"Where is the Chang'an?"

Fang Jie asked again.

"The troops of Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu have been attacking Chang'an City for a year."

Chen Xiaoru searched the news in his memory and said, "The two of them thought of all the methods. Unfortunately, Chang'an City was too tall and strong. The huge rock from the throwing cart hit it, and there was no crack in the city wall. If you wanted to lure the enemy out of the city, the guard of Chang'an was a man named Wei Mu, who was under Yang Jian. He should have received Yang Jian's instructions, but he would not leave the city. Now Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu's people are in a hurry to be fed, and a large part of the troops were divided into robbery in Gyeonggi Province, and the people were living in poverty."

Fang Jie nodded: "There is no interaction with these people for the time being... Is there any news in Mouping City?"

"have"

Chen Xiaorudao: "Zuo Mingchan has cut off the supply of firearms for the Shengmao in Mouping, and it is said that there are no rebels from the country of Ross. Perhaps, the resistance army of the Principality of Ross has been wiped out. Zuo Mingchan's people stayed in Mouping City to monitor the actions of foreigners. Recently, there seems to be fewer and fewer foreigners in Mouping City..."

"The people of the Oplu Empire are about to move troops."

Fang Jie sighed: "What's the news about Mu Mansion in Dongjiang?"

"The people from Mu's mansion sneaked into Shanhaiguan, and the guards of Shanhaiguan were killed. But because Mu Guangling ordered the temporary abandonment of entering the Central Plains, all the people in Mu's mansion were deployed on the coastal line, especially against the Dongchu line. There are rumors that Emperor Chu Juzheng of the Dongchu emperor fled from Dongchu and might hide in the Mu's mansion."

Fang Jie nodded: "With Chu Juzheng's guidance to Mu Guangling, Mu Guangling should be prepared for the firearms of foreigners. We should keep a closer eye on it. Once the war starts in Dongjiang, I will know the news."

"Here"

Chen Xiaoru responded: "Subsidiary sent more people to watch over there."

"Sanjin Hou..."

Fang Jie looked at Wu Yidao. Wu Yidao knew what Fang Jie meant and hurriedly said: "The power of the world to travel to the east Xinjiang has stopped commercial matters and has made every effort to provide support to the Mu Mansion. Don't worry, the lord can still clearly distinguish between civil strife and foreign countries."

Fang Jie smiled: "There is nothing else to do for the time being. What we must focus on now is the actions of foreigners in Dongjiang, the second is the actions of the victorious massacre in Liuzhou City, and the third is the actions of the great freedom."

Fang Jie's tone suddenly changed: "This person comes to find Yang Jian, which is definitely not a good thing for the Central Plains. If all the practitioners who escaped from the Mongol Yuan joined Yang Jian's team, it would be difficult to face each other in the future. Moreover, the Buddhist Sect is best at bewitching people's hearts... Once they take root in the Great Sui Dynasty, they will soon sprout and grow."

Wu Yidao nodded: "Especially in such a chaotic world, the people no longer have the awe and belief in the Sui Dynasty, and it is easy to place themselves on other things. In the chaotic world, the people cannot face their own worries and fears, and it is easier to believe in some superficial charity, and the change from being convinced to becoming a believer is extremely fast. Huang Yangdao is an example... This is still within the control range, when the people live and work in peace and contentment, so many people are bewitched and convinced by the Buddhist sect. In the war-torn place, it is conceivable how fast the Buddhist sect will develop."

Fang Jie suddenly thought of something: "I'm afraid... the people of the Buddha Sect enter the Central Plains in large numbers and have nothing to do with the Golden Family of the Mongol Yuan."

Wu Yidao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what Fang Jie meant: "Is it Meng Ge who is the pusher behind his back?"

Chen Xiaoru was not a stupid person either. After thinking about it carefully, he understood: "The Mongol Yuan was destroying Buddhism, but the foundation of the Buddha Sect in the Western Regions was not so easy to destroy. And if it continues like this, it will take a long time... The Mongol Yuan had just experienced a great war, which affected the whole country... What Mengge wanted most was to recover as soon as possible and recuperate. Naturally, he was unwilling to be the neighbor of the Great Sui Dynasty to recover before him, so it prompted a large number of disciples of the Buddha Sect to enter the Central Plains."

Wu Yidao nodded: "Either Meng Ge consciously drove the disciples of the Buddha Sect to the Central Plains, or Meng Ge had negotiations with the Buddha Sect to let the Buddha Sect go to the Central Plains. If the Buddha Sect wants to rise again, it needs a new soil. The Great Sui Dynasty is in chaos. For the Buddha Sect, this is a fertile land! This is the scene that both the Buddha Sect and the Golden Family hope to see, and it hit it off!"

Fang Jie shook his head and sighed: "The Great Sui Dynasty, which once made worship in all directions, has no more shock. If the Mongols recovered faster than the Central Plains, then Mengge would never give up the idea of ​​advancing eastward."

Wu Yidao sighed: "Foreigners go west, Mongolian and Yuan people go east... If this situation really comes to a time when it comes to form, it will be the biggest disaster in history for the people of the Central Plains."

Dongjiang

Mu Mansion

Staring at the sea map spread on the table, Mu Guangling's face was particularly heavy: "I thought foreigners would rest for a while and sort out the Chu State's place before they could move, but I didn't expect that they would come so quickly. The news I just got today was that my subordinates had discovered foreign ships on the sea, and they should have come to explore the way."

Emperor Chu Juzheng of the Eastern Chu who was sitting next to him changed his face and immediately reminded: "The foreign warships are particularly strong and equipped with extremely powerful firearms. Once the naval battle is fought, our ships will have no advantage at all... No matter what, our Chu naval navy is also quite powerful, at least it will never be weaker than the Great Sui navy. However, when fighting with foreign warships, our Great Chu navy will collapse in a battle... There is no room for fighting back."

Mu Guangling's face was solemn, and his fingers slid across the map: "What if I give up the naval battle?"

Mu Xianjun, who was standing beside him, had not recovered from his previous defeat, but also knew that it was related to the safety of the Eastern Frontier and the life and death of the Mu Mansion. He stared at the map and said, "Penglai Island... It is impossible to be defensive here! Penglai Island is closest to the coast. If I were a general of a foreigner, I would definitely take this small island as a transit place. The island can hoard materials and build barracks. Foreigners should know that the Great Sui Dynasty is not easy to fight, so they must be prepared to not land in one battle."

Mu Guangling looked at his son with some relief. After losing one arm, Mu Xianjun was depressed for a long time and has only gradually recovered from his anger recently.

"That's right."

Mu Guangling nodded: "Penglai Island is an optional place on weekdays, but once war begins, this place becomes crucial."

He raised his head and glanced at the generals standing in the room: "Who do you want to lead troops to guard Penglai Island?"

The people below looked at each other, and the general standing in front stepped forward and said, "Mr. Master, I am willing to take everyone in the headquarters to guard Penglai Island!"

In addition to him, others also expressed their opinions.

Mu Guangling seemed to be quite satisfied with his subordinates' reaction. He looked at the first person who stood up and said, "Yan Li, you have been with me for many years. I understand your abilities. I feel at ease with you. You must remember that this island is related to the overall situation of the Eastern Xinjiang and must not be slackened."

"Father!"

Mu Xianjun looked at Mu Guangling: "No one is more familiar with Penglai Island than I am. I would like to go to Penglai Island with General Yan Li."

"Your injury has not healed yet!"

Mu Guangling said with a deep face.

"Mu Mansion guards Dongjiang for so many years, and my father has been working hard. In the past, my child was unable to share his worries for his father when he was young. Now I have grown up. Although I have cut off my arm, I still have the power to fight. Father, when I lead the troops in the future, the soldiers below are asking each other what battles this man has fought and what achievements he has made in Dongjiang?"

Mu Guangling's face changed, and after a while, he nodded: "Since you insist on doing this, I can't stop you. Dongjiang's life and death are on my Mu Mansion. In the future, you will be the master of Mu Mansion, and it is time for you to take some of it!"

"Yan Li"

Mu Guangling looked at his proud general: "I will leave it to you by yourselves, Mr. Xian."

Yan Li clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, lord! Even if Yan Li died in battle, he would protect his uncle's full-time master!"

Mu Guangling frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that this was a bit ominous, but he didn't say anything, and stood up and glanced at everyone: "When I led the troops to fight, I would tell you that this was fighting for the Great Sui Dynasty. But today, what I want to tell you is that this battle is not for the Great Sui Dynasty, but for yourself! For your family! Dongjiang is your and my home, and no one is allowed to trample on it!"

"I will never refuse!"
