Chapter 30: Gao Jie

"Rodain?" Gao Jie said, mentioning these three words, he smiled slightly, and said, "I didn't expect him to dare to come to see me?" Invite him in. ”

"Yes." Li Chengdong said.

Gao Jie said to Li Benshen again: "Please ask Mrs. to come over, and say that there is an old man who has come to visit." Bring the Yuan Jue as well. ”

"Yes." Li Benshen said.

Li Chengdong is Gao Jie's favorite general, and Li Benshen is Gao Jie's nephew, one occupies the ability and the other occupies the relatives, which is Gao Jie's right and left hand.

But after a while, Rodain came in.

Seeing Gao Jie standing on top of the handsome tent, Luo Dain also said respectfully: "Luo Dain, the secretary of the Ministry of the Wu Throne, has seen the handsome. ”

"The secretary of the ministry?" Gao Jie sneered and said, "I didn't expect you, an old man, to have today." ”

As soon as Luo Dain heard this, his mind was put down, and he said: "I didn't expect that the mountain harrier back then is now the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty. ”

With the rapid expansion of the Cao Ying Group, Luo Dain's power is several times greater than before, but it has the meaning of being squeezed out of the core of power. It made Rodain's heart a little anxious.

But there is no way.

That's what some people are capable of. Luo Dain was just a bookkeeper in the cottage before, and then he was in charge of the logistics of Cao Ying, but when Cao Ying grew from thousands to tens of thousands, he had some difficulty, and after it developed to hundreds of thousands, he had to entrust the logistics affairs to Zhang Qian.

It's not that Luo Rucai doesn't trust him anymore, it's that the limit of his ability has reached this point, and he can't do it anymore.

And this time Luo Rucai placed him on top of the official book, but in fact, his real power is not too great.

Without him, the greatest power of the Ministry of Officials is in the appointment of officials, but if you want to do this, you must have your own faction, but Rodain does not have it. The gentry in the north were more willing to be attached to Zhang Qian, while the gentry in the south were more willing to be attached to Qian Qianyi.

Rodain's men are just a few miscellaneous people, people with no merit in their hands. There are not too many such people, and they don't have their own descendants, even if they sit in the position of the secretary of the ministry, how much role can they play.

So Rodain had a sense of crisis.

This time he came to envoy Gao Jie, because Luo Dain wanted to make meritorious service and establish his position in Luo Rucai's heart.

However, he came over this time, not unprepared, at least he and Gao Jie are really old acquaintances. His biggest worry is that Gao Jie doesn't recognize his six relatives now, and he will kill him as soon as he comes to the door, but when he hears Gao Jie call him an old picker, he knows that this time it will be successful or not, at least his life will be saved.

After two sentences, the atmosphere also eased, Gao Jie sighed slightly, and said: "Many things were really unthinkable back then? ”

"Yes," said Rodain, "the world is unpredictable. ”

Back then, they were together to keep warm, just to ask for a life, but today the south and the north are kings and hegemons, there are emperors, princes, and soldiers, and now there is a secretary of the ministry. If time could be turned back more than ten years, none of them would have imagined that they would be in such a situation now.

"Who's coming?" A voice came from behind, only to see a woman walk out.

This woman is about forty years old, although she is a, and the years have left deep traces on her body, making her color incomparable to that of young people, but that bookish temperament still makes these old people feel like they don't know where to put their hands.

If the time is reversed by more than ten years, what kind of elegance and peerlessness was the Xing family at the beginning.

Luo Dain secretly said in his heart: "No wonder the mountain harrier was planted in his hands." ”

This woman is Xing's, and for this woman, Gao Jie betrayed Li Zicheng.

Luo Dain still knows the details of Xing's family, whether this woman's surname is Xing or not, Luo Dain is not sure. But she was born in a scholarly family, and was taken into the camp by Li Zicheng, she secretly obeyed, and won Li Zicheng's trust, so that she could manage the accounts of the camp after breaking into the camp.

It was also because of this that Rodain had some contact with her.

Xing also took advantage of this opportunity to secretly collude with Gao Jie and asked Gao Jie to take her away and surrender to the official army.

Although many people thought that Gao Jie was obsessed, they didn't know that the person who took the initiative here was Xing's talent.

The cultural worship since ancient times made Luo Yujiao extremely obsessed with Zhang Xuan's talent, so that she fell in love with Zhang Xuan deeply.

And even now, Xing's status in Gao Jie's army is very special.

Gao Jie went from a horse thief who killed people and set fires when he was young to a general officer who commanded tens of thousands of troops now, and Xing's contributions are indispensable, so even if Xing's color is not there, Gao Jie has a lot of favor for other beauties, but it can't replace Xing's position in Gao Jie's army.

"Meet Mrs. Xing." Rodain said.

"You are ----?" Xing frowned slightly, and it took a long time before he said, "Is it Luo's bookkeeper?" ”

"Exactly." Rodain said.

The old people more than ten years ago have changed a lot, Luo Dain's hair is gray, and Xing was a first-class beauty back then, and now she is also a. Xing also had some sighs in his heart, and said: "I can't imagine that I can still see the old man now, Yuan Jue." ”

A teenage child walked over and Xing said, "Meet your Uncle Robert." ”

Gao Yuanjue stepped forward and said, "Meet Uncle Robert." "Gao Yuanjue is the son of Gao Jie and Xing.

Rodain said, "Good boy. He then took out a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to him, and said, "This is a gift from your uncle." ”

Cao Ying occupies the south of the Yangtze River, and Luo Dain, as Cao Ying's layer, takes out a good jade of the first class. Gao Yuanjue didn't know it, but Xing's family knew that it was a piece of mutton fat jade, and it would be a few hundred taels of silver when put outside.

"The head of the house, I am very happy to see the old man today, I will let the wine be placed in the back, and I will wait for the old time, and I will not talk about these troublesome things now." Xing said.

When Gao Jie heard this, he seemed to understand something, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, today is only talking about the past, not anything else." ”

What is Rodain doing here? How could Gao Jie not have a little guess in his heart. Since the Xing family hinted that he wanted to hang Luo Dain, Gao Jie naturally cooperated, anyway, the current battle near Fengyang was Gao Jie's advantage.

Gao Jie's tens of thousands of troops had already forced Yuan Shizhong to the south of the Huai River.

Yuan Shizhong's troops are not as strong as Gao Jie, and his combat power is not as good as Gao Jie. I have repeatedly asked Nanjing for help.

Therefore, Gao Jie naturally has the confidence to wait. But Rodain didn't have time to wait.

After three rounds of drinking with the Gao couple, Luo Dain couldn't help but say: "Old Gao, you know what I mean, don't go around in circles." ”

"It's not that the person in charge of my family wants to go around in circles, but the court is kind to my high family, which can be regarded as a generous kindness from heaven to earth. My family is by no means capricious. Xing said: "So there is nothing to talk about in this place, we are just reuniting old friends today, reminiscing about the past, and there is nothing else to think about." ”

"I believe in your ghosts." Luo Dain secretly said in his heart: "If your Gao family is really loyal to the imperial court, you will not run all the way from Shanxi to here. ”

Gao Jie withdrew from Shanxi, leaving the entire southern part of Shanxi empty. Wherever Li Zicheng passed, there was almost no resistance, was this what the loyal ministers did?

"In that case." Luo Dain said: "I have to go and see Yuan Zongdi. Although there is a bit of a gap between our two families, sometimes it is not that we can't join forces, it's a big deal, just give Fengyang to the camp. ”

The corners of Gao Jie's eyes twitched slightly, and he said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go." ”

Rodain seemed to ignore the threat in Gao Jie's tone. said: "Of course I don't want to break into the camp, the change in Xiangyang, the two families have already torn their faces." There will be a war in the future, so I came to you, I think at this time, Lao Gao, you should also think about your own way out. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Yuanjue, who will belong to this world in the future, no one can say clearly, if Li Zicheng wins the world, will he let you go? ”

Gao Jie took a deep breath and said, "Come on, withdraw the wine and food." ”

"Yes." Someone immediately agreed to come down.

Gao Jie stood up, pressed his hands on the table, and said, "Then let's have a good talk." ”
