Chapter 776: Zhu Jie's Death (Part 1)
"Please rest assured, Your Highness." After receiving Shen Fei's full authorization, Xu Xingzhi and Shen Luoyan bowed and responded at the same time. On the battlefield, the most feared thing is the random interference from above, otherwise there would not be the saying that the generals are not subject to the orders of the king when they are away from home. The situation of the army is unpredictable. On the ever-changing battlefield, if you still need to ask for instructions, it would be strange to win.
Xu Xingzhi and Shen Luoyan are not clear about Shen Fei's military level. In this case, it is the best choice for him not to interfere.
Shen Fei is very self-aware of his military talents. There are countless battles lost in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, because of random command.
Of course, if we consider his own strong strength, relying on the domineering of observation, it is not impossible to fight, but the problem is that, first, he is the King of Tang, so it is naturally impossible for him to go to war easily. Secondly, his goal is to unify the world. There will be many wars in the future. It is impossible for him to take action after becoming the emperor.
What's more, it's just Li Mi. Not to mention that he has an absolute advantage now, even if there is no change brought by Shen Fei, the power of Luoyang when Wang Shichong was in power before was enough to kill Li Mi.
In the original book, Wang Shichong and Kou Zhong were scheming against each other, and finally defeated Li Mi with the help of Kou Zhong, let alone now.
"There is no need to worry about Dou Jiande and Zhu Jie. Just hold on. Once the Wagang Army is dealt with, you can deal with them." After delegating military power, Xu Xingzhi and Shen Luoyan immediately analyzed the situation facing the entire Luoyang.
Now that the Tang Dynasty has gained the support of the Song clan, it has indeed become a thorn in the eyes of those who want to challenge the throne, but the person who really took relevant actions is only Li Mi. Some of the others are because their territory is not yet adjacent to the Tang Dynasty, even if they want to attack the Tang Dynasty, they can't do it.
You can't ask the other party to borrow your way, you know a lot of the term "fake way to attack Guo".
There are also some righteous armies who want to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, and let others take action first, so that they can kill two birds with one stone.
Dou Jiande and Zhu Jie probably have the same idea now. Dou Jiande was once a hero. He said that he started an uprising against the Sui Dynasty for the sake of the people of the world. If someone could bring peace to the world, he would rather give up everything he had and become a rich man. As a result, when Kou Zhong helped him deal with the Li family, he was suspicious of Kou Zhong many times, and then he was captured.
As for Zhu Jie, among the many righteous armies, Zhu Jie was the most unbearable. Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army had a very bad reputation, but if compared with Zhu Jie's army, the reputation of Jianghuai Army was already very good.
The Jianghuai Army killed and robbed everywhere, but under normal circumstances, they would not exterminate the entire village, but Zhu Jie's army was different. They killed the entire village, and more importantly, they ate people.
Zhu Jie was a very cruel person. He was an official of the Sui Dynasty at first, but he soon became a bandit. Even though he has become one of the separatist forces now, he still does banditry, and his subordinates are the most disorderly.
In contrast, Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army is now slowly reforming. Although the effect is not very good, it is indeed changing.
Similarly, the existence of Zhu Jie's army is also a reason why Shen Fei hates Cihang Jingzhai very much. He keeps saying that it is for the people of the world, but in the end, not to mention that during the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms, the Central Plains suffered such a great disaster, and no one from Cihang Jingzhai appeared. Now Zhu Jie's army is so cruel, and no one from Cihang Jingzhai has seen what it does.
On the contrary, against Kou Zhong, the Song clan, and Cihang Jingzhai, the Buddhist sect has been making continuous moves, such as the four great saints, Liaokong, Ning Daoqi, and even Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan have personally taken part in the battle.
Another thing is that they also kept saying that the Demon Sect was a disaster for the world, but in the end, except for a few fights between Shi Feixuan and Kankan, the Cihang Jingzhai Buddhist Sect did not do anything to the Buddhist Sect, and they did not even kill a heavyweight figure from the Demon Sect. Most of the plans of the Demon Sect were destroyed by Shuanglong, and many masters of the Demon Sect were killed by Shuanglong.
"Military Advisor Shen, I don't know if I should say something?" After the discussion, Xu Xingzhi and Shen Luoyan were on their way out of the sand table room in the side hall of the palace. On the way, Xu Xingzhi suddenly stopped and looked at Shen Luoyan and spoke slowly.
"Mr. Xu, you can talk as much as you want." Shen Luoyan smiled gently.
"The king trusts you very much, I hope you will not live up to this trust."
"Thank you Mr. Xu for your advice, Luoyan will remember it in my heart."
After saying this, the two looked at each other and separated immediately. They were all smart people, and there was no need to say some things too obviously. This time when Li Mi attacked, under normal circumstances, Shen Luoyan would never be sent to deal with Li Mi. After all, Shen Luoyan was from the Wagang Army. To put it bluntly, even Li Shimin did not have such a broad mind.
Just like when Li Shimin dealt with Shuanglong, he directly transferred Li Jing and Qin Shubao, who had a relationship with Shuanglong, and Shen Luoyan also wanted to avoid suspicion at the beginning.
But he was rejected by Shen Fei, and told Shen Luoyan that he believed in her, even if she wanted to let Li Mi go, it didn't matter. He didn't care about Li Mi's life or death. This war was a life-and-death battle for Li Mi. If he failed, even if he saved his life, he would definitely not have the opportunity to make a comeback.
It would be even better if he joined the Li Clan as in the original novel. With Li Mi's character of not willing to be inferior to others, he would either be killed by the Li Clan or betray the Li Clan sooner or later.
"Call Bu Tianzhi over."
Shen Luoyan, who returned to her mansion, immediately ordered the maid beside her. With the Dugu Clan joining Shen Fei and Xiang Yushan, Xiao Xin and others dying early, the Jukun Gang, which relied on the support of the Dugu Clan, naturally joined the Tang Dynasty and fell into the hands of Shen Luoyan.
Yun Yuzhen's methods were no match for Shen Luoyan's. In addition, some of her previous behaviors had already chilled many people in the Jukun Gang. So Shen Luoyan used some means to disintegrate the Jukun Gang directly into three parts. Among them, Chen Laomou and a group of people who were good at the art of sophisticated mechanisms were taken away by Lu Miaozi to learn to make corresponding mechanisms and weapons.
Another part of those who were willing to make achievements were absorbed by Shen Luoyan into his army. The last part was the intelligence agency of the Jukun Gang, which was incorporated into Luowang.
As for Yun Yuzhen, she was directly arranged by Shen Luoyan to enjoy the glory and wealth in Luoyang. Now, she, Dong Shuni and Rong Jiaojiao are called the three beauties of Luoyang. Every day, they mingle with the second-generation descendants of the nobles.
Now Luoyang is really full of beauties. Except for a few top beauties in the entire Tang Dynasty, the rest are basically here.
"Wang Bo, this guy, seems to still not give up. Does he want to make a comeback with the help of the Heshi Bi?"
Looking at the invitation letter in his hand, Shen Fei was a little speechless. Because of the selection of the emperor by Cihang Jingzhai, many people from other forces came to Luoyang at this time, such as Li Xiuning, Song Jingang, Liu Heita, etc. Of course, there are also forces that probably think they can't get the Heshi Bi, so they didn't send people, such as Du Fuwei, Yu Wenzhi, etc.
In addition, some people whose forces were almost destroyed also came to Luoyang, as if they wanted to make a comeback with the power of the Heshi Bi. Among these people, Wang Bo was the most active.
Wang Bo, the Zhishilang, was the top master of the Changbai Sect and the first to launch an uprising against the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the momentum was very huge. Some famous figures now, such as Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, and it seems that Du Fuwei had also served under him.
But it is a pity that Wang Bo was ambitious but incompetent, and he did not tolerate others. Many people left after seeing his true face. In addition, the first bird to be shot was hit, and he was targeted by the Sui army at that time, and his strength was greatly damaged, so he could only live in a corner.
After Yang Guang's death, he wanted to jump out again, but unfortunately, many heroes rose up at this time. After suffering heavy casualties again, he issued a statement, indicating that he officially withdrew from the world's struggle.
Now it seems that he is unwilling, but after all, he has issued a statement. If he goes back on his words, he will undoubtedly be embarrassed. However, if he has the Heshi Bi, it will be different. It can be said that it is destiny and he has to do it.
"The talent show of Shang Xiufang, the most talented woman in the world, I have to see it."
Originally, Shen Fei had no interest in the banquet that Wang Bo wanted to win over people, but after seeing Shang Xiufang, he immediately became curious. Shi Qingxuan was already very powerful, but she was not known as the most talented woman in the world.
"It's really lively here."
At night, the lights in Manqing Tower were bright, as bright as day. Shen Fei, who came in a carriage, was warmly welcomed by Wang Bo at the first time. After all, this is Luoyang, Shen Fei's territory. Wang Bo may have the final say in Changbai Mountain, but here, he, Shen Fei, has the final say.
Today, Wang Bo spent a huge price to book Manqing Tower. This was originally a brothel opened by the Luoyang Gang, but now it belongs to him.
As for Shangguan Long, the original leader of the Luoyang Gang, he was naturally dealt with. Although Shangguan Long seemed to belong to the Demon Sect, he was actually from the Daming Zun Sect outside the Great Wall. Shen Fei would not let anyone from the Daming Zun Sect go. At this time, the power of the Daming Zun Sect in Luoyang could be said to have been completely dealt with.
Although the main figures of the Great Ming Zun Cult are now outside the Great Wall, they have actually set up many strongholds in the Central Plains, including Luoyang and Chang'an. There are also some in Chengdu, but Shen Fei has asked the Song Clan to deal with them.
"I hope your luck in the brothel will be better today."
After entering the private room, Shen Fei immediately smiled and said to Shuanglong who accompanied him. If something happened in Manqinglou today, it would basically be confirmed that Shuanglong had good luck in the brothel.
"What is good luck in the brothel?"
Shan Wanjing, who was dressed as a man, immediately asked curiously. The people who came with Shen Fei this time were Shuanglong, Qianqian, Dugufeng, Shan Wanjing, Song Yuzhi and Song Que, who returned to the Song Clan together.
"That's right, every time we go to the brothel, something will happen, without a single accident."
Shuanglong's luck in the brothel did not come after they became famous. In fact, they had it when they were gangsters, but at that time they were chased by the guards of the brothel at most, and now, they are chased by some people who are chasing them.
"Then we'll wait and see today." Shan Wanjing smiled and nodded immediately after hearing what Kou Zhong said, as if she was looking forward to something happening.
"Fortunately, Ba Shao left early, otherwise it would be really lively today."
The people Wang Bo invited this time were from all walks of life, and there were also many people from outside the Great Wall, such as Tuli from the Turks, who came to hunt down Ba Fenghan. Ba Fenghan stole his fiancée, leaving a green grassland above his head. Although probably because he originally lived in a place with green grasslands, Tuli didn't care too much about this.
Of course, it is also possible that his fiancee is Zhao Deyan's disciple, which makes it difficult for him to pursue, but no matter what, Ba Fenghan's behavior is a provocation to his authority, and he must make Ba Fenghan pay the price.
Another possibility is that he wants to please Bi Xuan. Ba Fenghan killed Bi Xuan's eldest disciple, and Bi Xuan has been sending people to hunt him down. The reason why Ba Fenghan left this time is because the people who are hunting him have arrived. Tuoba Yu and Chun Yuwei have been chasing Ba Fenghan with the 18 cavalry trained by Bi Xuan.
Ba Fenghan came to the Central Plains mainly to escape their pursuit.
None of the three great masters in the world is alone, and there are corresponding forces behind them. Even if Ning Daoqi is not the main force of Taoism, there are still many Taoists who choose to follow Ning Daoqi.
"That's Fu Qian of Tuyuhun. It is said that this time he wants to make a break with Qu Ao, but he will be disappointed this time." Kou Zhong didn't know whether he had investigated before or someone told him that many people in the private room came from that force.
For example, Song Jingang, Liu Heita, etc.
Although Shuanglong and Liu Heita only met once, they had a very good relationship probably because they were very compatible, and the same was true for Song Jingang.
In terms of making friends, Shuanglong always put loyalty first, but unfortunately most of their friends only saw the value of Shuanglong.
For example, Li Shimin and Tuli, do they have feelings for Shuanglong? Of course, they do, but if this feeling conflicts with their interests, they will definitely choose interests first, and Shuanglong will definitely choose feelings.
Just like Shuanglong showed mercy to Li Shimin many times, but Li Shimin attacked them without any hesitation. If it weren't for the good luck of the two and their high martial arts, it would be dangerous.
Of course, the two did make friends who were loyal to each other along the way, such as Ba Fenghan.
"You forgot to mention Li Xiuning."
Just when Kou Zhong seemed to have introduced the major forces and was about to change the subject, Xu Ziling suddenly spoke, making Kou Zhong's face stiffen.
The appearance of Song Yuzhi made Kou Zhong's feelings slowly turn to him, but he also did not forget Li Xiuning, which made Xu Ziling a little uncomfortable.
Shen Fei and Song Que talked about the Song family's surrender. They talked about many things, and the only thing they didn't talk about was marriage, because of Kou Zhong and Song Yuzhi.
Song Que didn't want to sacrifice his daughter's happiness. This was what he had promised Song Yuzhi. That is, only Song Que would do this. If it were other aristocratic families, they would not consider their daughter's ideas.
Shen Fei also didn't want to break up Kou Zhong and Song Yuzhi. If Kou Zhong and Song Yuzhi had no feelings for each other, marriage would undoubtedly be the best, but now there is no need.
"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, are you here? I heard that the three of you defeated Qu Ao, and I thought Fu Qian wanted to experience the strength of the three of you." Wang Bo was about to speak, and Fu Qian suddenly stood up.
