Chapter 976: A clear discord

Gao Kaitai didn't expect Fang Xie to show such an attitude at the beginning, where is this negotiation, it is clearly just to inform him, either surrender or die. After a hundred battles and ups and downs for many years, Gao Kaitai could not be frightened, but Fang Jie's attitude really made him feel a little uneasy.

It's scary, not because the tone is tough and ugly, and it's enough to be fierce enough. It's scary, but it still depends on strength. Not to mention Fang Jie's own cultivation, the hundreds of thousands of elites of the Black Flag Army plus two huge sailors are there, and whoever negotiates with such an opponent will feel uneasy.

Gao Kaitai originally wanted to take the lead and not lose to Fang Xie in terms of momentum.

But Fang Jie's words shattered the atmosphere he had deliberately created.

"Zhen Guogong, I respect you as a hero, so I am willing to sit down and talk. When you say this, can I understand that you are declaring war? If that's the case, then I'll go back and prepare now. My sons are not vegetarians, and they are just bleeding from their heads. I know that the soldiers under the command of Zhenguo Gong are all brave people, are the soldiers and horses under my command just cowards? When you see blood, it may not be that your people will shed less. ”

Fang Xie couldn't help but laugh, he really wanted to laugh at such a cruel word. When a battle-hardened general begins to be verbally intimidating, what is there to fear?

Fang explained: "If I say sending off guests now, I won't be respectful to you." However, I have already said everything we can talk about between you and me. If the general thinks about himself, a side of the countryside, green mountains and green waters, plus the days of food and clothing, this fate is already excellent. If the general still thinks about the soldiers under your command, don't you feel too greedy? ”

"Don't you think you're too greedy?"

Gao Kaitai asked rhetorically.

"You and I are different......"

Fang Xie stood up, slowly walked behind Gao Kaitai and said with a smile: "The general's current situation can't be greedy, if you are too greedy, you will hurt yourself." If you are too greedy when you are backward and I am forward, and when you are backward, there will not be much left in the end. If he who moves forward is not greedy, how can he move forward? You say my wife is greedy, but I don't think I'm greedy enough. If I was so greedy that I didn't choose what to eat, wouldn't it be easier to kill you now? ”

Gao Kaitai's shoulders trembled slightly, and then he sneered: "What Zhen Guogong said is right, people moving forward is nothing more than greed. I actually forgot, what Zhenguo Gong wants is not only a Chang'an City, but the whole world. ”

"But!"

He also stood up and turned to look at Fang Jie: "Even if Zhen Guogong is sure of victory, he is not afraid of heavy losses?" There are at least tens of thousands of soldiers in Chang'an City, and as long as the courtiers call on the people to defend the city, they can raise at least 100,000 troops. In addition, there are still 5,000 ironclad troops in the city, how many troops does Zhenguo Gong think will attack the city after the decisive battle with me? Even if Zhen Guogong can defeat me, it will not be small compared to the casualties. ”

"That's right."

Fang Xie nodded: "Under the command of the general, most of them are the soldiers of the Great Sui at the beginning, which I know very well, and when I fight on the battlefield, the loss of my men and horses will naturally not be too small." However, the general must have forgotten that the general at this time is the weakest general, and if you have to fight sooner or later, now is the most suitable time. After Wang Yiqu's death, the general's army was not stable, right? If I let the general leave, don't tell you to follow the road, Tai'an Road is like a rich place to recuperate, even if I give you the northwest, for a year and a half, it will not be a problem to stabilize my subordinates with the general's ability. Am I going to wait until that time to fight the general? ”

was so clear by Fang Xie that Gao Kaitai didn't know what to say next.

As Fang Xie said, Gao Kaitai did show some weakness at the beginning, he really didn't want to settle the war with Fang, the army was unstable, and he had no confidence in this battle. Give him a year, even if it is half a year, to sort out the chaos of the generals of the various factions among his generals, and then fight with the Black Flag Army of Fang Jie, he will have a little more confidence than now. At this time, Wang Yiqu's subordinates in his army did not necessarily listen to his orders.

"Soldiers have arrogance."

Gao Kaitai took a deep breath, looked at Fang Xie and said solemnly: "I have led the army for many years, and I have more pride in my bones than others. I categorically can't accept what Zhen Guogong said, I would rather be defeated with dignity, and if I lose, I will lose. Let me surrender so humiliatingly, Gao someone can't do it. Now that the words have been picked so clearly, there is no need for you and me to continue talking. Zhen Guogong, you and I will meet on the battlefield in Japan. ”

"Good"

Fang Xie nodded and made a gesture to see off the guest.

Gao Kaitai snorted, turned around and strode out to the north. The soldiers he brought followed closely behind with their hands on the hilt of their swords, and everyone's faces were extremely solemn. Now that the talks have collapsed, they are still on the territory of the Black Flag Army, and once the other party turns their faces, they are afraid that they will have no way to live.

"General Gao"

After Gao Kaitai walked out more than a dozen steps away, Fang Xie suddenly called him. Gao Kaitai's heart moved, thinking that Fang Xie had room to return, and then stopped: "What else does Zhen Guogong have to say?" ”

Fang Xie smiled: "General Gao is admirable for his arrogance, if I say anything more, I will inevitably look down on you." I stopped the general, just to tell the general. Generals have arrogance, but not everyone has. The general is reluctant to surrender, but not everyone is reluctant to surrender. I now have at least thirty or forty letters from the general's camp, and since these people have already moved their minds, I only need to promise some benefits, and I expect that the decisive battle in the near future will not be too smooth for the generals. What the general doesn't want to do today, I'm afraid that someone will force the general to do it in the future......"

"Don't bother with the town!"

Gao Kaitai coldly threw down a sentence, turned around and left.

Fang Xie couldn't help but smile when he looked at Gao Kaitai's back, and sat down to drink tea slowly.

……

……

Sanjin Hou Wu sat down next to Fang Xie together, looked at Gao Kaitai's departing back and couldn't help but smile: "The last few words of the lord, I'm afraid it will drive Gao Kaitai crazy." However, are there really so many people in Gao Kaitai's army who wrote letters to the lord? ”

Fang explained: "There are still dozens of letters, but most of these people are Wang Yiqu's subordinates, and few of Gao Kaitai's old subordinates write letters." The reason why I said this to Gao Kaitai was just to make him feel uneasy. After he returned, he would inevitably check the generals in the army, and if he did so when he was about to fight, the people's hearts would disperse faster. ”

Wu Yiyi laughed: "The lord has calculated Gao Kaitai's mind thoroughly, and after he goes back, he will be restless when he thinks about whether anyone will turn against him on the day of the decisive battle." If he didn't find out who had written to the lord, he wouldn't want to sleep peacefully. ”

"That's not clever."

Fang explained: "It's just that he has been arrested, not to mention him, no matter who knows before the battle that there are so many of his subordinates who are ready to join the enemy, how can he not be worried and angry?" Once the decisive battle is due, he uses people who are ready to surrender to me, and he has already lost the battle before it is fought. ”

"Lord, why didn't you just kill him just now?"

Chen Xiaoru, who was standing on the side, said: "This person's cultivation is not too strong, if he is killed, he will inevitably be in chaos, and he will not have to fight when the time comes, and these ten or two hundred thousand horses will be wasted." ”

"If you kill him, who will kill someone else for me?"

Fang Xie took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Few of those people in Gao Kaitai's army who wrote to me really wanted to take refuge in me, but they felt that my strength was stronger than Gao Kaitai at this time, and they were just looking for a way back." If I lose, the sincere words written in these people's letters are not as good as a loud fart. These people have the intention of surrendering, and naturally I can't refuse. But when such a person arrives in our army, he can't use it, and he wastes money and food, so it's better to hand it over to Gao Kaitai to dispose of it himself. ”

Chen Xiaoru thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "The lord is really thoughtful, those who are ready to go back before the fight starts, they will be unreliable in the future, once we encounter some difficulties, these people are still thinking about how to escape." ”

Fang Xie pointed to the north and said: "No matter how much dross there is, it's useless for me to keep it, these people will be left to Gao Kaitai to solve it himself, let's take this opportunity to rest for a few more days, the soldiers are tired from marching for days, so rest more." ”

"Another ......"

Fang Xie pointed to the dozens of letters that had been placed on the table, and when Gao Kaitai sat there before, his eyes glanced over more than once, and his mood was actually chaotic. And Fang Xie put all the letters on the back upward, Gao Kaitai couldn't see the handwriting on the envelope, and he was even more anxious.

"Chen Xiaoru, go catch up with Gao Kaitai and send him these letters."

Chen Xiaoru smiled, picked up the letters, and turned to leave.

"How many fierce generals in the Gao Kaitai army ......"

Fang Xie sat down again and filled Wu Yi with tea with his own hands: "When I was in the northwest, I really saw the combat power of the Great Sui soldiers. At that time, the Northwest Rebellion had reached its roots, and Li Yuanshan had made the entire Northwest full of holes. There are countless thieves among the people, and they only need to send a steamed bun in exchange for a people's service. When the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court arrived in the northwest, there were enemies everywhere, but as soon as the war began, the soldiers defeated the rebels like boiling soup and pouring snow, and the speed was unsuitable. If it weren't for Gao Kaitai's rebellion, Emperor Yang Yi would not have left those 100,000 horses and fled back to Chang'an City alone. ”

"I really want those generals and those soldiers."

Fang Xie sighed: "It's a pity, Gao Kaitai has a good way to govern the army. Wang Yiqu's subordinates are not of the same mind as him, but it is difficult for his own old subordinates to persuade him to surrender. These people can't grab it, it's a pity to kill ......"

Wu Yiyi's heart moved, knowing what Fang Xie meant. Those generals can't serve the Black Flag Army, so they can only be eliminated. Fang Xie asked Chen Xiaoru to send those letters to Gao Kaitai was just the beginning of the discord plan, and even he couldn't predict how many tricks there would be later.

However, speaking of which, Wu Yiyi has always admired Fang Jie's talent in military affairs. Speaking of which, before Fang Xie entered Fangu, he had nothing to do with military affairs at all. Even after arriving at Fan Gu, he was just a scout team deputy. Who would have thought that after leaving Chang'an City, Fang Xie would be like a dragon returning to the deep sea.

He seems to have been born for war.

Wu Yi thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but praise the other party in his heart for solving this divisive plan. Fang Xie asked Chen Xiaoru to send a letter to Gao Kaitai, why couldn't Gao Kaitai see that Fang Xie was sowing discord? However, the human heart is suspicious. Even if Gao Kaitai knew it, it was impossible to control his heart not to doubt, once he began to doubt, then the end was actually doomed.

When the leader and subordinates begin to be suspicious, such a team, no matter how strong the combat power is, is no longer afraid.

"There's something I know it's not time to mention yet, but ......"

Wu Yi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Lord, after all, I am a father, and the matter of hidden jade...... She herself is not anxious, and I am anxious. ”

Fang Xie looked at Wu Yiyi, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I know, it's time to give Yinyu a name." ”
