Chapter 820: Greetings

"It's almost August 15, and the days are really fast."

Fang Xie looked at the bright moon hanging outside the window, turned around with a smile, and poured wine for the two people sitting at the table with his own hands: "Day by day, year by year, I didn't feel how it passed." Now that I think about it, when I first met General Xu when I was in Chang'an City, it seemed that it was also close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? ”

The old man sitting at the table hurriedly smiled: "Grandpa Guo's memory is really good, it's time to approach the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

"Don't call it that, I was taken care of by the old general when I was in Chang'an, and this kindness hasn't had time to be reciprocated."

Fang Xie smiled, sat down again, and filled a glass of wine for the people around him: "Although I didn't have the opportunity to see General Liu when I was in Chang'an, I have always admired General Liu's prestige. It's just that at that time, there were some trivial things around me, and I couldn't visit, which was also a pity in my heart. Being able to meet General Liu today is also a wish. ”

Sitting next to him was Liu Enjing, the general of the Great Sui, and sitting opposite him was the general Xu Xiaogong.

Yang Jian removed their military posts and sent them back to Chang'an in a prisoner car, where they were rescued by Yan Mad on the way, but he didn't meet them until today. These two people have been in the Black Flag Army for more than a month, and they have been entertaining them with good food and drink all day long, but they can't see Fang Jie's face, and they have already scratched their hearts like a mouse in their stomachs.

"Alas, the military affairs are busy, and it is my fault that I have the opportunity to pick up the wind for the two old generals today, I will make a toast and apologize first."

Fang Xie drank all the wine in the cup, and Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong hurriedly drank it.

If someone sees this scene, they will definitely feel it. When he was in Chang'an City, although Fang Xie was very famous, he was too far from the two of them in terms of status. If they were sitting at the same table and drinking, how could it be that the two of them were so cautiously accompanied?

The world changes so fast.

When he was in Chang'an City before, Xu Xiaogong's impression of Fang Xie was just a rising star from a poor family, and he felt that this person was really lucky, and he couldn't say that he was promoted by Emperor Yang Yi, if it was not accidental that he was not removed by the pickled methods of the people of the family, he would not be a powerful minister in the court more than ten years later. But the world was in turmoil, and it didn't take more than ten years for Fang Xie to become a prince in just a few years.

And these two of them, the two once illustrious generals, have instead become prisoners. If Fang hadn't rescued them, even if Yang Jian hadn't killed them, he would have to spend his life in prison.

"It's right that we should thank Grandpa Guo for saving his life!"

Xu Xiaogong stood up and said with a cup: "If it weren't for Grandpa Guo's righteous action, the two of us would have been two dry bones on the side of the road at this time." This is kindness, as for those little things in Chang'an City, they are not enough to worry about at all. ”

"Where's the word?"

Fang Xie waved his hand and said, "It's also a coincidence that we saved the two old generals, or we have fate." ”

"Yes, yes, yes"

Liu Enjing hurriedly said: "Fate! ”

Fang Xie picked up the cup and drank it with the two of them at the same time, then sighed and said: "It's a pity, when I was in Chang'an City, the Great Sui Dynasty was prosperous, the world was peaceful, the Quartet surrendered, and the country and the people were safe. Look at it now, how many years has it been? The great rivers and mountains have rotted like this, although I have the heart to kill thieves for the country, but I am alone. ”

He glanced at the two of them and said, "The traitors are in charge, and the loyal ministers are slaughtered, which is chilling. My greatest wish now is to gather people of insight from all over the world to assist the eldest princess in reviving the Great Sui Dynasty. Kill those thieves one by one, and return the people to a peaceful world! It's a bit tougher, though. Although the Black Flag Army has expanded some of its men and horses, there are only a handful of generals under its command, alas, ......"

Fang Xie sighed and said no more.

Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong glanced at each other, and immediately understood what Fang Xie meant. Isn't this the best option for the two of them?

"If it ......"

Xu Xiaogong stood up and said: "If Grandpa Guo does not give up, I am willing to be driven by Grandpa Guo and do my part for the Black Flag Army." ”

"I do, too!"

Liu Enjing said: "As a courtier of the Great Sui, I can't kill thieves for the country!" ”

"That's great!"

Fang Xie hurriedly said: "Coincidentally, the recruits trained by my Vermilion Bird Mountain Battalion have not yet been tempered by the battle array, and they are not of great use. If the two old generals are willing to condescend, there are still 10,000 horses under my command that are short of commanders, and this time when I came back from Nanyan, most of the recruits were handed over to Chen Yishan and Zhuge Wuyun, and I only left these 10,000 people at hand. I will transfer another 10,000 troops from Nanyan to build two new armies, and if the two old generals are willing, how about they each take charge of an army? ”

Fang explained: "I know that with the prestige and qualifications of the two old generals, it is indeed a little aggrieved to lead the troops like this. But now that the Black Flag Army has limited strength, please don't blame the two. ”

Xu Xiaogong sighed: "It is already our luck to be able to lead the troops again. In the future, Grandpa Guo ...... If the lord has any orders, just say it, although the two of us are old, we can still open the bow and ride the horse, and we have not forgotten the things in the army in our minds, I hope we can share the worries of the lord. ”

Fang Xie couldn't help laughing, took the two of them by the hand and walked to the map and said, "There is a problem right now, and I need two old generals to share my worries. ”

He drew a circle on the map, enclosing Yongbei Dao, Nanhui Dao, and Beihui Dao: "These places, although they declare their allegiance to the eldest princess on the surface, are all duplicitous villains, and if they don't fight a dozen, they will have bad intentions after all." The two old generals think that where to start with deterrence? ”

Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that Fang Xie was going to completely stabilize the southwest. They are now in the Black Flag Army, and if they don't do something, I'm afraid that the position they just gained will not be guaranteed. Now that they have no other choice, it is impossible for the imperial court to use them anymore, unless Yang Jian dies. As for the other forces, those people in Jiangnan are fighting hard with Yang Jian, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer. Now that the Great Sui is in turmoil, there are really not many candidates who can take refuge. And the eldest princess is in the Black Flag Army, Fang Xie has the biggest initiative in his hands!

The two of them saw this better than anyone else.

"May I share my sorrows with the Lord!"

The two of them hugged their fists at the same time and said in unison.

Yongbei Road

Daozhi Crescent City

It was getting late, but the lights were still bright. Almost all the characters in the city who can get on the stage are in the governor's palace, and there are many of them. When the news of the Black Flag Army's triumphant return from Nanyan came back, these bigwigs in Yongbei Province could no longer sit still.

Yongbei Province is adjacent to Pingshang Road, originally the original Yongbei Province Governor Chi Haonian, South Hui Province Governor Du Jianzhou, North Hui Province Governor Zhong Xin, plus Fang Jie's Pingshang Road Governor Luo Qiu four people conceived ...... The Black Flag Army that led Fang Xie to the south went south to fight a decisive battle with the Su people, even if Fang Xie won, he was afraid that there would not be much left, and then Luo Qiu took the opportunity to dismiss Fang, so that the southwest was still the world of the four of them.

But who would have thought that the Black Flag Army would win every battle in the south, and it would be like a bamboo. Nanyan's army was about to collapse at the first touch, and millions of people were buried outside the city of Yongzhou. As for Luo Qiu, one of his allies, he was even more wiped out by Fang.

Now that all their plans have failed, the Black Flag Army has grown stronger and stronger instead of suffering heavy losses after Fang Xie went south. Luo Qiu is dead, and Pingshang Dao and half of Nanyan are now holding on to the Black Flag Army, and no one wants to get involved again. Next, it's the turn of Yongbei Road.

Chi Haonian looks forward to Fang Xie losing the battle in the south every day, and it is better to die in the south. But it backfired, Fang Xie was alive and well, and his strength was getting stronger and stronger. If Fang Xie used his military might to deter Chi Haonian and the others when he went south, these people actually looked down on Fang Xie in their hearts. No one thought that Fang Xie would rise to become a prince, but now, the people they looked down on have returned with elite men.

"Let you come, not to quarrel!"

Chi Haonian slapped the table, and glanced at everyone with a gloomy face: "Fang Xie is returning to the north, the people and horses have already entered Yongbei Road, and it is not far from Crescent City, if the things in front of him are all pickled, Fang Xie will open the door when he comes, and it will not take ten days for the Black Flag Army to reach Crescent City!" ”

These words silenced everyone.

The current situation is very clear to all of you. Fang Xie returned north with a large group of people, and only then did he enter Yongbei Road, and no one dared to resist wherever he passed, and they opened the city gate one after another to let them go, and they couldn't wait to kneel and lick Fang Jie's shoes! This made Chi Haonian's anger nowhere to vent, and if it continued like this, the Black Flag Army would be in the city in a few days.

"Tear face?"

Someone smiled self-deprecatingly: "Now what qualifications do we have to tear our faces with Fang Jie?" In the past, we used to endure everywhere under the pretext of taoguang and obscurity, but until now, we don't even have anyone who can fight! Even if there is, can these soldiers and horses in his hands stop the Black Flag Army? I've heard that the North Hui Road is over! The man named Cui Zhongzhen personally led the troops south, and Zhong Xin handed over the entire Beihui Road without even resisting......"

"You want to pay too?"

Chi Haonian asked coldly.

"Don't pay?"

The man also sneered: "Then what does the Governor plan to fight with the party?" ”

He stood up and glanced at everyone: "We all know what Fang Xie is doing in the south, anyone who listens to him can at least keep his family property, and all those who resist have been wiped out!" I'm sorry everyone, my Chen family is not a famous family in Crescent City, I have no soldiers and no generals, and I still want to live to be eighty years old. I won't accompany you here to discuss how to resist the Black Flag Army, don't worry, I won't cooperate with the Black Flag Army, I'll just wait. ”

He glanced at Chi Haonian and hugged his fists: "Farewell!" ”

As soon as he got up, everyone looked at each other, and it didn't take long for more than half of the people to say goodbye, these people thought the same as the person just now, they had no ability to stop Fang Jie's Black Flag Army, if they obeyed, they could also ensure that the family property was not lost. By now, self-preservation has become their greatest luxury.

"A bunch of ...... Rubbish! ”

Chi Haonian stood up violently and scolded, a fire surged up in his heart, his throat was sweet, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a wow. The body shook a few times, but it fell softly. The rest of the people who didn't leave glanced at each other, got up one after another, and no one cared about him, they all left.

The subordinates hurriedly helped Chi Haonian up and went to invite Lang Zhong again. It wasn't until the second half of the night that Chi Haonian woke up, he glanced around, looking at the family members who were around him with a concerned face, and he suddenly understood that at this time, only his family was on his side. And their own decisions are most directly determined by the life and death of these people who care about themselves.

"Alas!"

He let out a long sigh, and finally shook his head: "Come on, help me up, I'll write a handwritten letter and send someone to send it to the Black Flag Army, just say...... Let's just say that I am Chi Haonian, and I welcome the grandfather of the country in Crescent City! ”
