Chapter 609 Got to the Kitchen

Liang

The Black Flag Army camp in the north of the city

Sun Kaidao hurriedly came in from outside the big tent with a smile on his face. Fang Jie, who was sitting behind the handsome case and reading with his head down, didn't even raise his head, smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's not bad today?" There is joy in your footsteps, is Zhong Xin relieved? ”

"Not yet, but his subordinates can see his face today and know that he is going to agree nine times out of ten."

Fang Xie put aside the book in his hand and pointed to the teapot on the table: "I heard that your voice is hoarse, and it must be extremely difficult to talk." Pour yourself water and drink it, then talk again. ”

Sun Kaidao poured a glass of water into it in one go, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Zhong Xin should have been doubting from beginning to end, whether we really only need grain and grass or fight Beihui Dao." So he has been tempting, at first it was bargaining, and his subordinates could see that he was using it to speculate on our purpose. If the subordinate agrees to reduce some money and grain, I am afraid that he will think that we are taking the opportunity to delay for another purpose, so the subordinates will not give in an inch, saying that the number is the number, and a copper coin and a grain of rice cannot be less. ”

"Well done"

Sun Kaidao hurriedly said: "Since the subordinates have received this errand, the general's orders naturally cannot be slack. Zhong Xin is an old fox, and it is estimated that he will be skeptical now. However, if the subordinate goes to talk again tomorrow, he should agree. ”

"No need."

Fang Xie waved his hand: "I have already asked Chen Dingnan and Lu Fenghou to lead 50,000 horses to Hui'an, if nothing else, I will be able to arrive early tomorrow morning, just talking to Zhong Xin that he will keep talking, it is not so easy to agree." Starting tomorrow, you will wait in the camp for them to send someone to talk. If they don't send people, then I will fight Hui'an, just like they come to talk, then I will withdraw Hui'an's soldiers and horses, but ...... As long as the army moves, it will consume grain and grass, and the quantity I said before will not work, and it must be added. ”

Sun Kaidao was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Fang Xie meant.

"Subordinates understood!"

He nodded: "We can't be too proactive. ”

Fang Xie snorted: "Let's go down and rest, from Ming'er onwards, I will only wait for Zhong Xin to send someone to talk, and if you don't come with enough weight, you won't talk about it, and you won't see it." In addition, don't tell the news about me in the camp, I asked Chen Dingnan to play my banner, and the people on the Hui'an side will definitely report to Zhong Xin for help. ”

"The Art of War"

Sun Kaidao clenched his fists: "The general's approach, how can Zhong Xin be able to understand the truth and the truth?" ”

Fang Xie smiled and waved his hand to let him go back to rest.

It is imperative to hit the North Hui Road, although it seems that the speed of the advance is a little faster now, after all, the Huangyang Road has not yet been completely stabilized, but now is the time. The two largest forces in the south of the Yangtze River, Luo Yao and Pang Ba, are now marching into the north of the Yangtze River, and they have no time to take care of the southwest. The four roads in the southwest are empty, Luo Yao rushed into Chang'an City and took almost all the soldiers, those governors have no loyalty to Luo Yao, but they don't have any soldiers in their hands now, so it will take time to become powerful.

Fang Xie must not give them time.

Whoever can become a governor must have a background behind him. Because of Luo Yao's strength in the southwest over the years, they have been pressed and unable to perform. And after Luo Yao led the troops away, he took a large amount of money and food with him. As soon as Luo Yao left, the pressure on them was light, but light pressure does not mean that they can make a difference immediately.

Luo Yao has dug up the source of troops in the southwest provinces too hard in the past few years, and those governors don't want to have an army that belongs to them when they are suppressed by Luo Yao, and now that Luo Yao has left them, although he has a solid foundation, it is equivalent to starting from scratch.

If Fang Xie does not fight the Southwest Roads, wait for a year, at most two years, and those governors who have the strong family power to back them will have the strength to block Fang Xie from the outside, and then the resistance encountered by the troops can be imagined, and the losses of the team will be several times that of now.

Even so, now Fang Xie is not able to easily mobilize troops against Beihui Dao. Most of his subordinates are still cavalry of the Black Flag Army, and in terms of field battles, they are second to none in the southwest. In terms of siege, there is no infantry and a large number of siege equipment, which is all a disadvantage.

Although the infantry has recruited a lot of people, it is also an indisputable fact that their combat effectiveness is low.

Therefore, Fang Xie did not dare to act rashly.

If you want to fight the North Hui Road, you must plan and be brave.

What he has to do now is to paralyze Zhong Xin, the governor of Beihui Province, and those local wealthy families as much as possible, so that they think that they are just greedy for money and blackmail, and then find the most suitable entry point to enter. Fang Xie is now a little glad that Dugu Wenxiu directly denied his idea of saying it casually during that meeting, if Huangyang Dao began to implement the division of fields into households, then it would be even more difficult to hit Beihui Dao.

The big families of the Northern Hui Dao and even the Southwest Dao will immediately rise up to resist, and when the time comes, what kind of strength will these people gather together to make up?

Therefore, Fang Xie also understands that if you want to let the people get more benefits, you can't solve it by doing it blindly. Now he is in this position, if he takes a wrong step, it will hurt a lot. In the past, when he was just a border scout in Fan Gu, he wouldn't think about these things, and if he did something wrong, it would be a big deal to continue to run. Later, when he entered Chang'an, his level was not too high, and even if he fell, he could get up and continue to live.

But now, the height he has reached is no longer allowed for him to fall, because it is already very high, and it will hurt very much if he falls.

The more things a person has, the more scruples there are.

"The Great General"

When Fang Xie was a little distracted, someone outside called him softly: "General, Sanjin Hou invites you over, saying that he has prepared a meal and wants to invite you to eat and drink together." ”

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the little girl Wu Yinyu had been running to her side a lot since these days, but because of official affairs, she didn't have time to pay much attention to it, Wu Yiyi sent someone to invite her over, and most likely the eldest lady lost her temper again. Thinking that now everyone up and down the world sees themselves as aunts, Fang Xie feels a little embarrassed.

……

……

Wu Yiyi's place of residence is behind the most camp in the camp, and there is a row of five-room houses in the innermost part of the cottage, and the yard is very large. This is the best courtyard in the camp, and it was originally built for Fang Jie. But Fang Xie has been living in the camp since he arrived, and because Wu Yi refused to sit on an equal footing with him, Fang Xie felt a little sorry, so he insisted on asking Wu Yi to move in here.

Fang Xie asked people to prepare some cooked food and personally carried it into this small courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a burst of aroma, and Fang Xie looked into the courtyard to find that the kitchen was steaming out of the window. He looked into the kitchen, and saw that the delicate and graceful little girl was busy working, and several subordinates were busy waiting behind him.

Where is this Wu Yinyu, whom Fang Xie once knew, when she was in Chang'an City, she didn't say that she wouldn't touch the things in the kitchen, even if the things didn't please the eye, she wouldn't take a bite. But at this time, the little girl who had become more and more signs had a scarf wrapped around her head and pulled up her hair, and the weather had turned cold, but she was only wearing a single dress and holding the cuffs, revealing that Bai Shengsheng's forearms were bent over and busy.

When a subordinate saw Fang Xie coming over and was about to salute, Fang Xie waved his hand, handed the food box he was carrying in his hand to a subordinate, and then entered the kitchen lightly.

He waved his hand, and the men immediately smiled and retreated.

Wu Yinyu, who was busy working, didn't notice that those subordinates had retreated at all, and at this time, her attention was all on the pot of chicken soup in front of her that had been stewed all morning, and her face was solemn, as if she was facing a great enemy.

Because she had to work, she didn't wear a particularly cumbersome skirt, and her upper body was a goose-yellow coat, and the waist was very narrow, but compared with her small waist, this dress was still slightly loose. Fang Xie even had an illusion, and her waist was pinched thick.

The skirt is a home cotton home long skirt that you won't wear when you go out, and the hem is large and fluffy. This dress makes her look extraordinarily ladylike, and she can't see her brutal temperament in the past.

She bent over and stared at the pot of chicken soup, as if guarding a treasure.

Because of this hips, the slender waist is outlined more clearly. Such a perfect arc, starting from the waist and then gradually relaxing, to the hips two arcs form a very straight circle. Sometimes beauty is so incredible that it makes people feel incredible, and this arc can make people's hearts ape.

Wu Yinyu heard footsteps behind him, but he didn't know that the way was solved.

She scooped some chicken broth with a spoon and blew on it, then frowned slightly, and her small and delicate nose was a little wrinkled, which looked particularly cute.

"It's a little lighter...... I haven't figured out his taste yet, forget it, wouldn't it be bad if he didn't like to add salty...... Long'er, I forgot to put red dates, go get them for me. ”

She didn't look back at the command.

Long'er, who had long been hiding outside the door, pursed her lips and smiled, stuck out her tongue towards Fang Xie and pointed to a place in the kitchen, Fang Xie immediately nodded, grabbed a handful of red dates and handed them to Wu Yinyu.

Wu Yinyu stretched out his hand to take it, hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't wash my hands, and I don't know how to wash the dates!" ”

She straightened up and turned back, while Fang Xie leaned forward to observe the chicken soup, but the two of them bumped into each other without warning, and Wu Yinyu suddenly crashed into Fang Jie's arms, her face touching her face.

"Ahh

Wu Yinyu exclaimed, hurriedly stepped back but accidentally hit the stove, Fang Xie hugged her waist and pulled back, and with the other hand picked up the casserole that she was looking overturned. But the casserole was saved, but the stove collapsed, and the charcoal fire was spilled on the ground.

"Hot!"

Wu Yinyu was startled and shouted eagerly.

"It's okay"

Fang Xie saw that her anxious face had changed, and there was still a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

"My Chicken Soup ......"

Wu Yinyu muttered, or wanted to hide his shyness and embarrassment.

"Blame me."

Fang Xie smiled: "I scared you, otherwise I wouldn't have knocked over the stove." You're all right, are you? ”

Wu Yinyu forgot to struggle out of Fang Jie's arm, hung his head and said in a bit of a panic: "It's okay...... I've been up all morning, and now that the stove has turned over and I'm going to relight the fire, I'm afraid it won't taste good......"

"No need to rekindle the fire"

Fang Xie smiled, took Wu Yinyu's hand and walked out of the kitchen, and sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Do you know what the biggest improvement in my cultivation has been during these days?"

Fang Xie asked with a smile.

Wu Yinyu shook his head: "I haven't seen you all day, I don't know what you do every day." Daddy called you to come to eat and drink, and you came, and I asked Long'er to invite you to dinner, and you shirked it......"

Fang Xie smiled awkwardly, then held the casserole in the palm of his hand, and then flames spit out from his palm.

"I'll help you stew chicken soup, it's been easy to control the fire lately, and everything was burned as soon as the fire came out, but now at least it can be controlled more freely."

"What's the use of that?"

Wu Yinyu was puzzled.

"It's useful, I can help you cook later."

Wu Yinyu's face turned red and he stomped his feet: "Which one wants to cook vegetables for you to eat!" I'm cooking for my daddy! ”

"Huh"

Wu Yiyi, who came out of the house, smiled: "Yes, yes, you cook for me to eat, every time I want to learn what to cook, I will eat the burned dishes, and when I learn it, I will call him to taste it." If he takes a bite of the dish you cooked, I will eat it for a few days, either it is burnt or there is no salt or there is too much vinegar or too much sugar......"

"Daddy!"

Wu Yinyu screamed, grabbing the corners of his clothes with both hands, at a loss.
