Chapter 1018 The Bottom Line!

After leaving Luoshui, the fleet turned eastward, and the speed of turning from upriver to downstream was naturally much faster. When I arrived at the waterway of the Yangtze River, it seemed to be a lot busier, and I had begun to encounter merchant ships, and looking at the signs on these merchant ships, six or seven out of ten were all goods going through the world.

In the shallow waters are small fishing boats, which have been used by fishermen living on both sides of the Yangtze River for generations, even during the war. Because they can only release boats to fish, and nothing else.

When the ship arrived on the Yangtze River, Fang Xie received an urgent letter from Gyeonggi Province, which was written by Wu Yiyi himself. The letter told Fang Xie that there had been an assassination in the camp, and that General Li Tai had been assassinated. However, fortunately, Daozun stayed with him, so the assassin was unable to continue to kill.

He also seized something very special from the Assassin that could make people disappear in an instant.

Fang Xie immediately thought of what Sang Sassa told him that the old man in the moon-white Confucian shirt disappeared in an instant when he was in Niujiatun. There was no doubt that the Moon Shadow Hall had more than one of these things in its hands. For this era, the things in the hands of the Moon Shadow Hall are extremely unsettling.

On the same day, Fang Xie also received another intensified military intelligence.

It was Chen Dingnan who sent someone to use the channel of the Xiao Riding School to send it over at the fastest speed. Originally, it was going to be sent to the Gyeonggi Province, but the messenger returned to the southwest halfway through the Zhilu Province, so he turned south again. It was about ten days later than the expected trip, so Fang Jie's heart immediately became heavy when he saw this letter.

"What's going on?"

Wu Yinyu couldn't help but ask when he saw that his expression was different, and the pear Fang Xie who had already gone to fart didn't notice it.

"Meng Yuan has marched into the northwest."

Fang Xie took a deep breath, but there was still some panic in his chest and abdomen. It wasn't that he didn't expect Meng Yuanren to come back, but what he didn't expect to come was actually Kuktai Meng Ge himself! Meng Yuan Great Khan drove the expedition in person, and it seems that this time he didn't just want to make the Great Sui mess up.

When Chen Dingnan got the news, it had been nearly a month since the Mengyuan people entered the customs, and after Jin Shixiong marched into Gyeonggi Province from the Northwest Shandong Province, the northwest was almost a vacuum. Although some small forces are playing private soldiers in their hands, those private soldiers have almost no role in front of Meng Yuan's wolf cavalry. ”

Fang Xie was a little worried in his eyes: "The northwest is now an undefended place, and the reason why the emperor of the Great Sui insisted on maintaining the northwest was that he was worried that one day the Meng Yuan would invade, and the northwest would be the best battlefield, because it was tired enough." And the Central Plains can't, the Central Plains can't afford that kind of destruction. ”

Sang Sassa said: "But now the Central Plains has suffered a lot of wars. ”

Fang Xie shook his head: "That's different, now the chaos in the Central Plains is still under control, because the people who fight each other are Han people, and they both know that once the damage is too serious, even if they win in the future, it will be difficult to clean up." So no matter how chaotic it is, it has not yet reached the point of burning the city and slaughtering the land. It's different when Meng Yuan people come in, this time Meng Ge personally came over with an army of nearly one million, such a huge army, the material supply needed is even greater! After all, they carry a minority, relying on plunder. The northwest is tired, and in the northwest they can't plunder anything, so they need to march east as soon as possible. But now in the northwest, no one is in front of them. ”

"Chen Dingnan wants to fight?"

Sang Sasa suddenly thought of this.

"Hmm"

Fang explained: "Chen Dingnan has 150,000 horses in his hands, and he has not crossed Yishui in Hexi Road yet. Originally, according to the itinerary, they should have entered Hadong Province to prevent Gao Kaitai's return route and the people of Gyeonggi Province echoed from afar. But because the Mengyuan people came, Chen Dingnan decided to stay in Hexi Road for the time being. ”

"Millions of Wolves Ride ......"

Sang Sassa frowned: "Why is there still so many people in Koktai Mengge?" ”

Fang explained: "It's not just the wolf rider, the Mengyuan civil strife, and although the Koktaimeng family and the Buddha Sect won the war, the wolf rider suffered heavy losses. This time, Meng Ge took no more than 200,000 wolf riders, but it was the most elite royal wolf rider in his hands. There is also a cavalry called the Black Mountain Army, which I don't know very well. The rest were herdsmen forcibly recruited from various tribes, but those herdsmen were very strong in archery and horsemanship, and they were soldiers on horseback. ”

"Montenegrin Army ......"

Sang Sasa's face changed: "That is the most terrifying army of Meng Yuan, even the Golden Family has always been very jealous of the Black Mountain Army, pressing it to the northernmost part of the empire and not allowing them to be easily mobilized, if it were not for the civil strife in Meng Yuan, Meng Ge's troops were already stretched, and the Black Mountain Army would not be transferred." ”

She briefly explained to Fang Xie the origin of the Black Mountain Army, and Fang Jie's expression became even more solemn after hearing it.

"You can't fight in Hexi Road."

After pondering for a while, Fang Xie made a decision: "Chen Dingnan's team, most of them are recruits who have not experienced the battle formation, and the other half are veterans, but they have all come from Yunnan Province and are already tired. Plus the fight against the water...... There was almost no chance of victory in the face of the army led by Meng Ge himself, because Meng Ge was bound to win this first battle. ”

"Someone Coming"

Fang Xie turned around and ordered: "Hurry up for thousands of miles, tell Chen Dingnan to cross the Yishui immediately, go to the east of the river, and deploy defenses along the river." It was not easy for the Mengyuan people to cross the Yishui without boats, so he destroyed all the boats that could be found in Hexi Road, leaving not one for the Mengyuan people. ”

"Order, Duan Zheng's sailor immediately went north to meet Chen Dingnan's department. After Chen Dingnan's men and horses crossed the Yishui, the sailors deployed on the river to assist Chen Dingnan in preventing the eastward advance of the Mengyuan people. ”

"Order, the camp of Gyeonggi Province divided 100,000 troops, with Cui Zhongzhen as the main general to rush to the aid of Hedong Province. The Gyeonggi Provincial Battalion did not attack for the time being, and stopped fighting with Ko Kae-tae. ”

Fang Xie issued three military orders in a row, and after the Xiao Cavalry School wrote it down, he handed it to Fang Jie, and Fang Xie took off the square seal he carried with him and stamped it on the military order.

"Remember, pass the military order as fast as possible, and there is no room for error!"

……

……

Fifty miles south of Chang'an City

With a snap, a cup fell to the ground and shattered, and the fragments stirred up and splashed everywhere. The furious Gao Kaitai's face turned pale, and he looked at the man in the moon-white shirt sitting on the chair and roared loudly: "This is different from what you told me before!" At that time, you only said that you wanted to find someone from the Buddha Sect as a helper, and you never mentioned the matter of Meng Ge's personal conquest! Now that a million wolves are riding into the pass, what should I do! ”

"You?"

The middle-aged man in the Confucian shirt said with a smile: "What to do, didn't the fourth child make it clear to you when he came last time?" If you want me to help the Moon Shadow Hall, you naturally have to pay something. What's more, it hasn't reached the point where you have to pay anything, but it has given you a big boost. ”

This person's face was gloomy, and there was something very bewitching between his eyebrows, which looked strange and disgusting. He is the one who killed the master surnamed Liu, if someone sees how the master surnamed Liu died, he will definitely be even more disgusted, so disgusting that he can't eat anything for a few days.

"Now that the Mengyuan wolf has ridden into the pass, and the Kuketai Mengge has personally marched to the army, the million-strong army has passed through the Shannan Road of Shandong Province, and it is almost to Hexi Road. The Black Flag military's army of more than 100,000 is on Hexi Road, ready to block your way back and give you a fatal blow. Now that the Meng Yuan wolf has arrived, where do the hundreds of thousands of Black Flag troops still have the heart to deal with you? ”

He pointed at Gao Kaitai: "Shouldn't you say thank you?" ”

"Xie Lu Xie?!"

Furious, Gao Kaitai kicked the table in front of him over: "The wolf rode into the pass, and the lives were ruined!" When the time comes, I Gao Kaitai will be the sinner of the people of the Central Plains! Even if it is a few decades or hundreds of years, people will only scold me when they mention me! ”

"You're thinking too much."

Mr. Five shook his head, squinting at Gao Kaitai with a pair of narrow eyes with many layers of eyelids: "The matter of luring Meng Yuanren into the customs is not the first thing you did, the first thing to do was Li Yuanshan." Even if there is anything left in the history books, the heaviest one is Li Yuanshan and not you. Besides, now that only a few years have passed, will anyone still scold Li Yuanshan? People have long forgotten about Li Yuanshan. ”

"Why don't you think so......"

Mr. Five gestured for a moment and said, "You will be the emperor in the future, and the whole world will be yours." When you sit on that chair, which symbolizes supreme power, who will dare to scold you? Even if someone scolds you behind your back, but you succeed, isn't that the most important thing? ”

Gao Kaitai opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say: "Anyway, it's not good!" If it's just people from the Buddha sect coming in, I can still accept it, after all, it's mostly a matter of the rivers and lakes. But if a million wolves ride into the customs, it is not a matter of the rivers and lakes but of the world! Don't try to lie to me anymore, a million wolves rode into the pass, and you are still saying that I will be the emperor in the future! I'm afraid that when the time comes, you people from the Moon Shadow Hall will be standing up to Koktai Mengge! ”

"So ......"

Mr. Five shrugged his shoulders: "What else can you do now?" ”

He glanced at Gao Kaitai with some contempt: "With your current strength, yes, you can gain a foothold in one place, but do you really deserve to dominate the world?" Without the support of my Moon Shadow Hall, you are nothing, and you will be wiped out by Fang Jie's Black Flag Army in an instant. At that time, what else did you think about morality? ”

"There are actually only two paths in front of you."

Mr. Five stretched out a finger: "First, continue to cooperate with the Moon Shadow Hall, the Moon Shadow Hall can give you a guarantee, even if the wolf rider enters the customs, they will not rob the world with you, they have their purpose, and they will naturally retreat after achieving the goal." The Moon Shadow Hall will go to great lengths to support you as God, and if you don't believe it, it's okay, because you can choose the second path...... You stopped working with the Moon Shadow and died. ”

He leaned back, said nothing more, and waited for Gao Kaitai's reply.

Gao Kaitai's wheezing sound was particularly heavy, and the blood vessels in his temples bulged. His fists were clenched so tightly that the back of his hand was bruised.

Glaring at Mr. Five, Gao Kaitai's breath seemed to be full of murderous intent.

"That's right!"

Gao Kaitai suddenly said loudly: "I, Gao Kaitai, want to be the emperor!" I want to be the most powerful man in the world! However, I also have my own bottom line, not for this goal, I can sell anything, I can promise anything! What's more, you people are here, even if I become the emperor, I can't sit still! I can do whatever it takes to achieve this goal, provided that I don't become a sinner of history! ”

He patted his chest hard: "I fought with the wolf cavalry of Mengyuan in the northwest!" Now Meng Ge is coming to rob the world I want, and I won't agree! You can kill me now, as long as I don't die, I won't walk with the Mengyuan people! ”

Mr. Five's face kept changing, and he looked at Gao Kaitai and was silent for a long time.

"The Ninth Master will give you an answer."

Mr. Five stood up and glanced at Gao Kaitai coldly: "Don't tell me about the bottom line, the so-called bottom line is just not enough for you." What do you want, you can say it yourself when the ninth master comes. If the Ninth Master promises you, I would like to see how much your bottom line is worth. ”

"Slep"

He took a mouthful of thick phlegm before leaving, so disdainful.
