Chapter 1027 I carried it alone

Fang Xie didn't know about the road, in a place called Ping'an County in the distant Shanjiang Road, a group of people who put life and death aside used their flesh and blood to block the Mengyuan army. It wasn't a group of regular soldiers, but they were real warriors. Not only the 8,000 people in Ping'an County, but also the men, women and children in the county. The fear of death can cause people to react instinctively, but in the face of certain emotions, death is so insignificant.

The Lingmen Pass has not yet been captured, even if it is a Xiao Cavalry School, it will not be able to detect the news on the other side of Shanjiang Road, and if you want to make a detour, you will have to walk for at least two more months. Two months seems too long for a war.

Chunbo Pavilion City

When Fang Xie arrived outside with the pro-military camp, Gao Kaitai was already standing at the gate of the city to greet him. This is the second meeting between the two men, and this one is clearly more significant than the last. The last time they met, the two of them were talking as enemies, but this time, they might be able to become allies.

Seeing Fang Xie coming, Wu Yiyi, who had gone over in advance, quietly nodded to Fang Jie.

It can be seen that Gao Kaitai has changed his attitude this time. People's eyes can always show people's mood, and when people deceive people with flowery language, their eyes are often not the same as words. It can also be inferred from Wu Yiyi's previous gesture that he and Gao Kaitai must have had a conversation.

"Thank you for saving the town."

When the party got closer, Gao Kaitai walked over quickly and bowed.

Fang Xie hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up: "General Gao, why is this?" ”

Gao Kaitai shook his head after getting up: "If it weren't for Sanjin Hou's help this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a chance to see Guogong again." Speaking of which, I was confused for a while, and I actually believed the words of those sidewalkers, which almost caused a catastrophe. Fortunately, I can save one or two now, otherwise I would have become a sinner for the ages. ”

The two of them talked as they walked, and entered the Chunbo Pavilion City.

The defenders in the city were all Gao Kaitai's subordinates, and they were a little excited when they saw Fang Xie and Gao Kaitai walking arm in arm. Speaking of which, Gao Kaitai's men and horses have not really rested for several years, and they have been marching and fighting. Even the most elite and professional soldiers can be war-weary.

If war can bring victory, then the soldiers will be stimulated by a temptation, and the war-weariness will be suppressed, but the years of war will not only have no end in sight but also no victory, and this will become a kind of torment. Fang Xie and Gao Kaitai walked as they walked, glancing at the expressions on the faces of the soldiers on both sides from time to time.

"This Moon Shadow Hall should not be underestimated."

Gao Kaitai shook his head after sitting down: "I really don't know how these Jianghu guests have such a great ability to lead Meng Yuan people into the customs." It's really a shame to say, if the Central Plains is lost because of me, I am afraid that I will be scolded for 10,000 years. Although I am no longer subject to the restraint of the Great Sui Court, I still know what I can't touch. ”

Fang Xie nodded and said, "The general can stop at this time, not only for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of your and my armies, but also for the people of Limin. The people of Gangbuk-do, Gyeonggi-do, have suffered from years of war, and their lives are harder than anyone else's. ”

Gao Kaitai snorted: "In troubled times...... Alas......"

"Let's talk about the Moon Shadow Hall."

Fang Xie diverted the topic.

Gao Kaitai hurriedly said: "The people of this Moon Shadow Hall are extremely mysterious, and the person who came into contact with me before was called Mr. Four, that is, the Four Heavenly Monarchs of the Moon Shadow Hall. However, it is said that this person was killed a few days ago when he was about to assassinate the general under the command of the Duke of the Kingdom, and then Mr. Five came to me. It was this person who informed me about the entry of the million-strong army of Mengyuan, and he asked me to join forces with the Mengyuan people to besiege and kill the Black Flag Army of Guogong. ”

"I fought with Guogong for victory, and I was the most opponent on the battlefield. But joining forces with the Mengyuan people, I can't do it. When I was in the northwest, I had a contact with the Mengyuan people, but it was to defeat Luo Yao, and there were no interests involved, and the Mengyuan people left after that battle. Now that the Mengyuan people are here again, what they want is not obvious. ”

"The people of the Moon Shadow Hall and the Mengyuan people joined forces, just to take advantage of the Mengyuan people's momentum. When the Mengyuan people enter the customs, they need a powerful Jianghu sect to be a guide and help. And if the people of the Moon Shadow Hall want to become the overlord of the rivers and lakes again, they need the strong military strength of the Mengyuan people. A raccoon dog hits it off. ”

After listening to him, Fang Xie shook his head: "General Gao still thinks things are too simple, the people of the Moon Shadow Hall want more than just some overlord of the rivers and lakes. They led the Mengyuan people into the customs, and they really wanted to take advantage of the situation, but the situation they borrowed was different from what General Gao thought. If there is no accident in entering the customs, they want to make the Central Plains more chaotic. ”

Fang explained: "Now that the forces of all parties in the Central Plains have been basically settled, no one can take anything from anyone for a while. This creates a situation that looks chaotic but is actually somewhat balanced, and then there is a game between the strongest, and the less powerful will see the wind and rudder. If the Mengyuan people enter the customs, this balance will be broken. When the Central Plains is even more chaotic, the Moon Shadow Hall will be able to gain greater benefits from it. ”

"The greater good?"

Gao Kaitai repeated, his face changed: "Could it be that you are a Jianghu guest, and you still want to be the emperor?" ”

"Who isn't in the rivers and lakes?"

Fang explained: "When the Mengyuan people enter the customs, at that time, the various forces in the Central Plains will stop attacking each other and jointly resist the Mengyuan people. The million-strong army of Mengyuan and the Central Plains fought fiercely, and when the time came, I was afraid that it would be a lose-lose ending. It is not easy for the Mengyuan people to enter the Central Plains, and we ...... There will also be heavy losses in this war. ”

"Alas......"

Gao Kaitai sighed heavily: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants." ”

……

……

"Now, who else can stand up and protect the people of Limin?"

Fang Xie glanced at Gao Kaitai, and then pointed at himself: "I"

He pointed at Gao Kaitai again: "You"

Fang Xie walked to the edge of the table, asked his soldiers to unfold the map, and said: "Now there is no large-scale force in the northwest to stop the Mengyuan people, and the foreigners in the east have invaded, and a large number of soldiers have gone to the east to fight the foreigners. Almost all the forces in the eastern half of the Great Sui were involved in that occupation by foreigners. I led the troops to stabilize the southwest, and the Gao family army has been in Gyeonggi Province for several years, and now there are only you and me standing in front of the Mengyuan people. ”

Gao Kaitai pondered for a while and said: "This battle is bound to be fought, but my current army is unstable and lacks food and grass...... I'm afraid that I can't do much. ”

Fang Xie naturally knew what he was thinking, he seized Li Yincang a while ago, Gao Kaitai lost the supply of grain and grass, if he didn't join forces with the Meng Yuan people, it would really be difficult to move forward. Moreover, the Black Flag Army of Gao Kaitai Zhilu Dao was strong and strong, and at this time, he didn't want to stand in front of the Mengyuan people and consume all his troops.

"It doesn't matter"

Fang Xie smiled and said: "The grain and grass that General Gao needs, I will arrange for someone to transport it from Liyin Cang, and now my fleet of goods has set sail from Liyin Cang, and it will take less than half a month to transport the grain and grass over, at least enough for General Gao's men and horses for two months." ”

Wu Yi sat on the side, wanting to remind Fang Xie about the Lingmen Pass. Now it seems that Gao Kaitai really doesn't know about the entry of the Mengyuan people, and he is not willing to collude with the Mengyuan people. If Gao Kaitai gave the order, the thousands of Gao soldiers in the Lingmen Pass would withdraw, and Yan Zeng would be saved from attacking with men and horses.

He wanted to remind him several times, but his mind was so careful that it was impossible not to think of it, so he endured it again.

"That'...... What is the strategy of Guogong? ”

Gao Kaitai couldn't say anything more, so he could only ask.

Fang Xie smiled and slowly paced around the room: "Actually, General Gao also knows that with your current military strength, it is not a big threat to my Black Flag Army. The reason why I am willing to sit down with the general is because such an attitude is needed now. When the people knew that the Mengyuan people were invading, and we were still attacking each other, when the time came, scolding you and me could break your backbone. What I want is just General Gao's attitude of resisting foreign enemies together, and as for whether General Gao is willing to fight this battle with Meng Yuanren, I don't force it. ”

Fang Xie stopped next to the table again and pointed to the map: "After General Gao takes the grain and grass, you can lead the troops to Hedong Road." My subordinates Chen Dingnan and Cui Zhongzhen, Chen Yishan led 300,000 troops, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the sailor division under my command were all deployed on the front line of Yishui. General Gao waved his flag and shouted in the back, and his words were clearer...... As long as General Gao doesn't stab me in the back of the Black Flag Army, I won't need you in this battle, and I will relieve one person to carry it. ”

After saying this, Fang Xie turned to look at Gao Kaitai's eyes, which shocked Gao Kaitai's heart. He opened his mouth to say something to regain his momentum, but by this time he realized that it was too late.

"This ...... This is not Guogong's business alone, how can Guogong be able to carry it alone? ”

Gao Kaitai's subordinate strategist Fan Zengli stood up and said: "Grandpa Guo has the world in his heart, isn't my prince the same?" Now that foreign enemies are knocking on the gates, it is precisely when the two families need to join forces to work together, but Grandpa Guo has underestimated the hundreds of thousands of sons under the command of my prince. ”

If he saves face for Gao Kaitai like this, Fang Xie naturally doesn't care.

Dugu Wenxiu smiled and said: "Since General Gao is willing to send troops, it is naturally the best, and the required grain and grass materials are all provided by the Black Flag Army." After arriving at Hedong Road, General Gao only needed to lead his troops to respond. General Cui Zhongzhen, General Chen Yishan, and General Chen Dingnan are all generals who have led the army for many years. ”

Fan Zengli's face changed, and he was about to speak when he was stopped by Gao Kaitai: "Since this is the case, then I will follow the arrangement of the Guogong." But...... Guogong really looked down on me, since Gao was willing to stand up and protect the people of Limin, he would not just stand behind and wave his flag and shout. ”

He hugged his fists: "Since the words have been said here, Gao will give way to Chang'an City, and when the grain and grass are ready, he will immediately set up troops and go to Hedong Road." ”

Fang Xie nodded: "This is very good, in addition, I will send a few masters to set off with General Gao's army to protect General Gao's safety." The people of the Moon Shadow Hall are haunted, and General Gao is a little worried after all without the protection of a master. ”

Fan Zengli wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it.

Where is this protection? The master sent by Fang Xie is by his lord's side, and today he is a guard, and tomorrow he may be an assassin. But now that there are those people from the Moon Shadow Hall threatening, he can't refuse to solve for Gao Kaitai. The feeling of suffocation in his heart almost made him feel the urge to roar. He looked at Gao Kaitai, and Gao Kaitai's face was just as ugly.

……

……

On the way back from Chunbo Pavilion City, Wu Yiyi still couldn't help but ask Fang Xie about the Lingmen Pass after all. Fang Xie smiled and said, "That place is so important, I naturally have better hold it in my own hands." Gao Kaitai did not collude with the Meng Yuan people, and his subordinates in the Lingmen Pass may not have one. When he withdraws his troops, it is better for me to fight it myself. also let Gao Kaitai know that without him, what should I do or have to do. ”
