The two Zhou Gong stopped suddenly, their mouths opened and they could be stuffed into their fists, the two of them have always been happy to hear the deliciousness, and those who come do not refuse, just listen to the names of these dishes and salivate, but the thought of the price paid in order to get the hot pot hurts, so Qi Qi shook his head and said: "Don't want it, don't do it, although the delicious food is good, the cost can't stand it!" ”

Seeing the two gradually walk away, the corners of Ji Yan's mouth cracked a wicked smile: Today, I will plant a seed in your hearts first, and when you are tired of eating hot pot, and you can't find a better substitute, this seed will take root and sprout and grow vigorously. At that time, Lao Tzu will sit on the ground and raise the price, and he will never stop until you cry!

At this time, a personal guard came over and said: "Enlighten my king, the forbidden army Lang Ji Fang is still being detained in the Tiger Ben Prison, since he was brought back yesterday, he has been crying endlessly, what to do, please show the king." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Ji Yan patted his head, he was so busy in the past two days that he actually forgot about this stubble, Ji Fang is the cousin of the Son of Heaven and the supreme commander of the Son of Heaven's forbidden army, he has always been high-spirited and domineering, and suddenly lost his freedom, and it is normal to make a fuss, and he has not removed him clearly. "Bring him here, and I'll talk to him personally."

It didn't take much effort, Ji Fang was brought over.

In the past, Ji Fang always had bright armor, neat dress, bronze with a sword in his hands, refined combat boots on his feet, a rather heroic face, a sturdy body, a bit of a dog-like, and often boasted that he was the first beautiful man in Luoyang. But now he is unkempt and dirty, as if he has just retreated from the battlefield, so that Ji Yan almost didn't recognize it. As soon as he came to the palace, he fell to his knees and said with a handful of snot and tears: "O king, great king! The last will miss you! ”

Ji Yan smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Ji Fang, are you guilty?" ”

"The end will be guilty." Ji Fang hurriedly said: "The last general is guilty! ”

"Oh? Tell me what sins there are. ”

"When the king struck the bell, the last general failed to stop it in time because he was in the tiger prison, which is also a crime; During the period when the king was recuperating from his injuries, the last general did not dare to leave his post without permission because of his duties, and he failed to serve before the collapse, which is also a second crime; There are people in the forbidden army who cheat, and Weichen fails to detect it, and this crime is three. With these three sins, the last general will know that his sin is too great to ask for forgiveness, but he will ask my king to punish him. Ji Fang's voice became lower and lower, and his expression became more and more desolate, like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Yes, you still play the emotional card with me! Ji Yanxin said, originally he grasped the problem of his mismanagement of the forbidden army, but he was good, he pulled out other things first, but put the real problem in the third place, the purpose is to hope that he will remember that he is my cousin, my closest person, and the person who has been messing around with me for a long time, and then ignore his biggest problem.

Hum! Use this set of methods to fool me again, do you think I'm still the same Ji Yan as before?

"Ji Fang, don't give Lone Dong a pull." Ji Yan's voice was not very stern, but it was calm and unfamiliar, which made Ji Fang's heart cold: "This king only asks you one thing, what's the matter with standing in line on behalf of others?" Since when? ”

The Son of Heaven has indeed changed, Ji Fang only felt that his vest was cold, and cold sweat was crawling down like an earthworm.

"King Qiyu, because most of the soldiers in the forbidden army are the children of powerful people in the court, and even many of them are children of the royal family, they have always been delicate and arrogant, and they are very difficult to manage. Due to the long absence of war, and the country was basically stable, since the time of the first king, these soldiers began to neglect their duties, often not in office, but let their subordinates in the family subordinate farmers to replace them, they called this station on behalf of the station. ”

"When the first king promoted the last to become a general, it has become an unwritten rule that these soldiers even find some poor people who have nothing to do with themselves to replace them, and if they can't find someone to replace them, they will be laughed at by others. When the last general first took office, he was still thinking about rectification, but before he could do anything, these powerful figures in the forbidden army's family put pressure on the last general in various ways, and even scared me by not paying food and equipment. ”

"At that time, the king was still young, and the last general had no backstage support, so he had to succumb to these pressures, and finally acquiesced."

Listening to Ji Fang's narration, Ji Yan gradually understood the whole story. It can be seen from Ji Fang's demeanor and tone that he is not lying, what he said should be the truth, it seems that he can't be completely blamed, but as a general of the forbidden army, he manages the only force of the Son of Heaven, but he is so drifting and living in confusion, if something really happens, he will be slaughtered as he wants if he is not slaughtered by others?

"Ji Fang, this king, let me tell you the truth." Ji Yan said coldly: "It is impossible for you to sit in the position of the forbidden army general anymore, as for other punishments......

"O king, O king! The last general is willing to accept any disposition, but he just doesn't want to leave you, the king! For the sake of the brothers, please don't drive me away! Woo woo woo - " Ji Fang saw that he was about to be in big trouble, and quickly cried again.

"Shut up!" Ji Yan snorted, and waited until Ji Fang stopped crying, and then said slowly: "The death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is unforgivable, and you will definitely not be able to escape the pain of flesh and skin." But—" Ji Yan deliberately stopped.

"But how?" Ji Fang's eyes widened and he asked eagerly.

"If you can help this king accomplish a big thing, perhaps, this king can consider not punishing more, and even give you a good position."

"Good, good!" Ji Fang was overjoyed, "Don't say one thing, even ten and a hundred things, the last general will definitely do it properly for the king." ”

"Don't oversay just yet. This matter," Ji Yan paused for a moment before saying solemnly: "It's really not that easy, or it can be said that it is a life of nine deaths." ”

Looking at Ji Yan's serious expression, Ji Fang's excitement gradually cooled down, and he asked timidly, "What is the matter?" ”

"Go to a powerful country and bring back a few people for the king." Ji Yan said slowly: "This king can give you twenty people, and the personnel will be selected by yourself in the forbidden army; In terms of cost, we will try to meet your requirements as much as possible. If it is done, you will do a great job, and the king will reward you; If you can't do it, you won't have to come back. His tone became more and more stiff, and at the end it was almost harsh.

Ji Fang really realized the difficulty and importance of this matter, and after a long pause, he slowly came to Ji Yan, solemnly bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Qi my king, Ji Fang used to go with the flow, not out of will, but because of the surrounding environment. But after all, I am a dignified man, and I still have some ambition in my heart, and I have been looking forward to the day when I will make a contribution. Now, the king has given me this opportunity, even if it is difficult, even if it is possible that I will not be able to come back, the last general is willing to give it a try. This matter will be taken over by the general. ”

"Good!" Ji Yan was overjoyed, walked out of the desk and helped Ji Fang up. "Worthy of my royal man, he has ambition."

Next, the two discussed for a long time, analyzed all aspects of this matter, and formulated corresponding response plans for various emergencies.

Before Ji Fang left, he said to Ji Yan: "The king asked the last general to choose twenty people from the forbidden army, and the last general now has a candidate in his heart." But there is another person that the last general wants the most, but he is not in the forbidden army, so the last general wants to ask the king for a favor and asks the king to give me this person. ”

"Oh?" Ji Yan was surprised: "I don't know who this person is, but he actually makes you value it so much." ”

"Li Sui, the grandson of the great general Li Gui, is nineteen years old, and is currently a pawn commander in the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven."

"So young? What is so special about him? Ji Yan became more and more interested.

"This man began to practice martial arts at the age of five, and he was skilled in swords, guns, swords, halberds, and bows and horses. At the age of twelve, he began to study the art of war, and studied the geography of mountains and rivers. Most importantly, he has a flexible mind and a lot of quick wit. The last general will encounter a lot of unexpected situations on this trip, and if he has his peers, the possibility of success will be greatly increased. ”

"How did you know he had these skills?"

"Last autumn, the last general made an appointment with three division commanders in the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven to go to the General Mountain for autumn hunting, and each brought fifty soldiers, and one of the division commanders named Liu Kun won a complete victory. At the banquet after the autumn hunt, we learned that it was a young general named Li Sui who gave advice to him and commanded in the center. Later, the last general learned that this Li Sui was actually the grandson of the general, and the last general was curious, so he made some inquiries about him, and then he learned that he was such an outstanding person. ”

Ji Fang paused for a moment and said: "Two months ago, two pawn commanders in the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven had a dispute over a trivial matter, and then there was a big fight, and as a result, the soldiers on both sides also joined in, forming a scuffle, and its brigade commander couldn't stop it. A non-commissioned officer of the Forbidden Army informed the last general, and the last general knew that the matter was serious, so he hurried over with two hundred forbidden troops. When I inquired, I learned that Li Sui had learned the information and took one of his pawns to attack these two pawns, and as a result, he won a complete victory with one enemy and two soldiers, and all the people of these two pawns were detained. ”

He told the general how he was able to win two with one, and he told the general his method of charging three or three, saying that when charging, three people were in a group, each responsible for one direction, both offensive and defensive, flexible in advance and retreat, and in battle, no matter how many enemies there were, they often formed a situation of fighting more and less against the enemy locally. Three squads form a squad, three squads form a squadron, and so on can be expanded indefinitely. At this point, the last general threw himself into the ground with the five bodies he admired, and always wanted to recruit him into the forbidden army, but because his division commander did not agree to release him, he has not been able to do so. ”

Hearing this, Ji Yan secretly liked that there were still such figures in his army, and after thinking about it, he frowned and said: "Since he is so good, and his ancestor is a general, how can he be a pawn commander?" ”

Ji Fang explained: "The general has always been harsh on his relatives and never gave them high positions, Liu Kun wanted to promote Li Sui to brigade commander several times, but the general was suppressed on the grounds that he was too young. ”

"The general has such a grandson?" Ji Yan shook his head every time he thought of Li Gui's strategy of defending the city, as the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son, and it is said that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the children of mice will make holes, but why is it not applicable to Li Gui here?

"Well, since you value him so much, this king wants to bring him to you."

Ji Fang was overjoyed, and once again made a bow before thanking him, Ji Yan said to himself: "Perhaps, everyone has a self-motivated heart, it depends on whether there is such an environment and opportunities." Ji Fang, Ji Fang, I'll give you the opportunity, don't let me down! ”
