    (As long as you stand firm, I will stand firm! Please give me a monthly ticket to fight!) Chapter 567 Just for fun The stone wall at the west entrance of the canyon has not been completely demolished. Like the stone wall at the east entrance, a door has been left. Team  Like a mighty long queue, they returned from the grassland. The soldiers who stayed in the canyon stood on the wall and waved flags and cheered. The marching soldiers also waved their arms and shouted at each other. Everyone's face was full of joy.  Because they have to move to Huangyang Road, all the soldiers staying in the canyon have to evacuate.  After the team passed by, the soldiers on the stone wall also jumped on their horses and merged into the large group under the command of the general.  The defenders of Fangu City walked out of the city gate reluctantly. Although the garrison was rotated, the soldiers who had lived here for several months were still reluctant to leave.  They were used to living in this small town, and they had worked hard to repair this border town.  After joining the soldiers from the canyon, Fan Gu, and the village, the team became even more magnificent.  Seventy thousand cavalry entered the pass and advanced on the official road.  Someone could be seen peeping in the distance, but the Black Flag Army ignored them.  You don't need to think about it to know that they are Jin Shixiong's scouts. They must have been frightened to see such a huge cavalry team entering the border.  Fortunately, the Black Flag Army is still fighting the red battle flag and black military flag of the Great Sui Dynasty, otherwise Jin Shixiong's troops would have sounded the warning horn long ago.  There were also groups of bandits and bandits nearby, and they had already stayed away from them.  I was afraid that if I accidentally provoked this giant dragon, I would be killed.  Fang Jie looked back while riding the white lion. In the carriage not far behind him was the Mongolian Grand Master of Yuan Dynasty who followed him into the pass without saying a word. He was riding in a carriage by himself.  This woman has not found Fang Jie again in the past few days in the camp, nor has she communicated with anyone.  Fang Jie arranged a military tent for her, and she moved in without refusing.  Of course, the women who are most curious about her are Fang Jie.  "Report!" A scout came back from the front. When he was still far away, he jumped off his horse and hurried over to salute: "General, someone in front stopped the team and said that Jin Shixiong asked to see the general. He was thirty years old to the east of Fangu City.  Waiting in the guest booth." Fang Jie smiled and looked back at Sun Kaidao.  Sun Kaidao smiled and said: "It's just as the general expected. Jin Shixiong will definitely not be able to sit still when we see us coming back with strong troops. It would be strange if he didn't come to see you." "The military advisor will go with me.  " Fang Jie smiled and said: "I also want to hear what the general has to say to me. " "It's just three points. One, he must want to ask the general to stay and join forces with him. Of course.  Jin Shixiong also knew that this was impossible, but he would still say it. Now he is in a difficult situation. He has no soldiers and no food. It is estimated that all the food and grass in Jinyang City have been taken away by the emperor, leaving him little.  It's difficult to stabilize the northwest with that remnant army." Sun Kaidao stretched out his second finger: "Secondly, after the general rejects him, he will definitely say some truth. If the general insists on leaving, he will be shameless.  Asking the general to leave a team of troops, the general will naturally refuse, and then he will shamelessly ask the general to leave some food and grass. " "Thirdly, it is to test the general's purpose if we don't leave.  In the northwest, I am afraid that Jin Shixiong will not be able to sleep well in the future. In this situation, he can avoid it and not provoke it. It is said that the imperial troops are still blocked by the rebels from Gaokaitaiwang Yiqu on the west bank of Luoshui. The emperor's military losses are not small.  He was ordered to rush to support, but he has stayed in the northwest Haha I am afraid that the general has other thoughts. " Fang Jie nodded: "Let's go and take a look.  What kind of rhetoric will he use?" "General" Sun Kaidao thought for a moment and said, "This man is a veteran who has been famous for many years and is arrogant. At this time, seeing the general's strong troops and horses, he may not have any resentment in his heart, so he needs to be careful.  It's better to let Qilin lead the Jingqi to follow." Fang Jie smiled and shook his head: "No, just you and I will go with a few followers." He urged the white lion to move forward, and the white lion roared low.  With a cry, he rushed forward.  Sun Kaidao was worried, so he sent someone to call Qilin to give some instructions, and then asked Chen Xiaoru to pick a dozen skilled riders to follow him.  A group of people broke away from the large group of people and headed towards the guest booth.  The distance was not far, and it didn¡¯t take long for Fang Jie and his party to arrive not far from the farewell booth.  The farewell pavilion is on the side of another official road, and next to it is a peach grove.  It¡¯s just that no one has taken care of it for many years, and this peach forest looks particularly desolate.  When he stopped, the white lion rubbed Fang Jie's hand. Fang Jie glanced at Taolin and then smiled.  He stroked the white lion's long hair a few times, then walked slowly to the guest booth after getting down.  Still far away, General Jin Shixiong came from the pavilion.He was welcomed out here.  This general, who is already in his fifties, seems to be in good spirits.  It's just that he is much thinner than the last time we met, and his cheekbones appear to be bulging outwards.  "General Fang is indeed the pillar of the country, a talent that Your Majesty relies on!" Jin Shixiong clasped his fists and smiled as he walked: "We haven't seen you for more than a year, but General Fang actually recruited such a powerful cavalry for the Sui Dynasty. If Your Majesty knew  I must be happy. General Fang has made great contributions to the country, and I expect that Your Majesty will not be stingy with rewards. I remember that General Fang is already a rural prince?  I haven't seen the general for many days, but he is becoming more and more interesting. I was originally worried that the general could not bear the bitter cold in the northwest. Unexpectedly, the general looked more energetic than last time. It seems that life in Jinyang is not bad.  , I feel relieved." Both of them smiled, their bright smiles hiding their knives.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ There are several plates of side dishes, a pot of wine, and two cups on the stone table in the pavilion.  There were only two soldiers waiting in the pavilion, and they didn't carry any weapons.  Jin Shixiong invited Fang Jie to sit down and filled a glass of wine for Fang Jie himself. Fang Jie deliberately did not give in, but accepted it calmly.  "Who is this?" Jin Shixiong glanced at Sun Kaidao and asked.  Fang Jie smiled and introduced: "This is Mr. Sun, the great talent I invited to teach me. The general also knows that I have not graduated from the Yanwu Academy, and I always feel that my knowledge is too shallow. It was when I met Sun  Sir, I immediately asked him to stay and ask for advice in my free time. Recently, my articles have become more and more neat. Mr. Sun even praised me yesterday. " Jin Shixiong's sneer in his heart did not change. "  In this case, please take a seat, Mr. Sun. Although I have been in the military all my life, I have always admired talented people. Haha General Fang is really a rare talent. He is training on his own while training. If there are more young people like General Fang in the court.  Talented man, why worry about the country being in turmoil and not being able to revive the Sui Dynasty? His Majesty sent General Fang to guard the valley, and he knew how to make good use of people. General Fang lived up to your Majesty's hard work, and the emperor and his ministers knew each other well. It was a good talk. " Fang Jie smiled.  "Your Majesty really knows how to make good use of people, otherwise how could I have 100,000 cavalry under my command now?" Jin Shixiong twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and laughed loudly: "General Fang is grateful for His Majesty's kindness. He has returned with a large group of troops after his initial military training. He is loyal.  This is a lesson. When you left Jinyang City, your Majesty specifically told me that when General Fang comes back, he will join forces with me to ensure the peace of the northwest. Your Majesty also said that when General Fang comes back, I must not rely on my old age and show respect.  " "Haha" Fang Jie clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness. Your Majesty didn't leave any message before leaving?" "Uh" Jin Shixiong pondered for a moment, but did not answer immediately.  Sun Kaidao smiled and said: "My general also often mentioned that he was taken care of by Old General Jin when he was in the northwest, and his majesty also gave him many gifts. That's why our general went through many hardships in the enemy's land.  After all the hard work, Old General Jin didn¡¯t know that it¡¯s hard to pull up a team, but it¡¯s even harder to lead a good team" He deliberately used the word "general" in a strong tone.  Sure enough, Jin Shixiong¡¯s expression changed slightly.  Sun Kaidao seemed to be a little helpless and said: "Old General Jin also knows that although your Majesty has named my general as the fourth-rank general, according to the Sui military system, the fourth-rank general can command an army of 10,000 troops, and the general is dedicated to Serving the country, he accidentally trained 100,000 cavalry But as the team grew larger, there were some drawbacks. The general is only a fourth-grade military officer, and the generals under his command are only fifth-grade. You see, the generals of the fifth rank below have to lead 10,000 cavalry, which seems a bit unfair, not to mention my general Your Majesty is very good at knowing things. Do you have any arrangements before leaving? " Jin Shixiong smiled sarcastically: "This this Your Majesty probably didn't expect General Fang to be able to train 100,000 cavalry for the country I will personally submit a memorial later. Tell me about this for General Fang." "Hey how can this be done?" Fang Jie quickly declined: "There is no reason for a minister to want to be an official. If it is spread, it will be a joke I think it is worse than this, the general told me. Your Majesty's schedule is all about cavalry, so I should be able to catch up. Your Majesty will be very happy to see so many cavalry, and will naturally make arrangements." Jin Shixiong's eyebrows twitched, and he smiled and said, "I don't think so. In this wayGeneral Fang will go after His Majesty, and the team will stay" Before he could finish his words, Fang Jie interrupted: "I'm just in trouble, and I need to ask the general for help."nbsp; Jin Shixiong suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked: "What's the matter?" Fang Jie said seriously: "It's hard to say it. Although I pulled up a team on the grassland, the general should also know that the grassland is in chaos now.  , there is no human habitation for thousands of miles, so my people have been training hungry, and they are not afraid of the general's jokes" Fang Jie pointed to a plate of hare meat on the stone table and said: "I haven't tasted it for a long time.  After eating the meat, I see that the general is in good spirits, and the two soldiers behind him are also very impressive. There must be plenty of food and grass in Jinyang City. Since I want to lead the army to chase your majesty, can the general allocate some food and grass to me?  Me? You and I are both serving the country, so the general will not watch my people go hungry I'm so grateful!" He stood up and saluted with his fists, but Jin Shixiong's eyes immediately flashed a few times.  Jin Shixiong opened his mouth and could only chuckle and said: "We are both serving the countrythisof course I will not refuse, but" Sun Kaidao also stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Then I would like to thank Jin on behalf of the soldiers.  The old general is generous!" Jin Shixiong was silent for a while and then said with a smile: "This is not urgent, come on, let's drink first." Fang Jie said: "The soldiers have been hungry for several months, how can we not be anxious?  If the general nods, how about I immediately send someone to wait outside Jinyang City, just waiting for the food and grass to be shipped out?" Jin Shixiong's anger could no longer be suppressed, but he still smiled and said, "After all, I still need to ask for instructions on this matter.  Your Majesty, although there is no shortage of food and grass in Jinyang City, I don¡¯t dare to use it without His Majesty¡¯s order. Why don¡¯t General Fang leave his troops here and go after Your Majesty in person?  He glanced at him and smiled and said, "What then?" Jin Shixiong didn't speak, but just lowered his head and took a sip of wine.  Fang Jie said with a smile: "Could it be that the general embezzled the food and grass from his own team and gave it to me?" Jin Shixiong remained silent. After a while, he raised his head and said, "General Fang, if you really serve the country, I will give it to you."  What's the point of giving you food and grass? Buthow do I know that you really want to serve the country? Why don't you leave the team behind and catch up with His Majesty? If Your Majesty says that General Fang has the final say in the northwest, I will be willing to do so.  "As a deputy." "It's better than this." Fang Jie said with a smile: "As far as I know, His Majesty's trip was blocked by Luoshui, and the rebels were rampant. Naturally, you and I cannot just sit idly by and ignore it. I think that His Majesty was humiliated by the rebels.  "The loyal and patriotic general will not pretend to turn a blind eye. No matter whether His Majesty has an order or not, he must fulfill his duty as a minister, right? How about the general marching with me to Luoshui to rebel?" Jin Shixiong holds it.  The hand holding the wine glass tightened, and the veins on the back of the hand were exposed.  There was a click, and the wine glass was overwhelmed and shattered by him.  Fang Jie glanced at the soldiers who were about to rush out of the peach forest at any moment, and smiled coldly: "If the general doesn't want to, then I will lead the troops to rescue him. Thank you for your hospitality" He pinched a piece of rabbit meat and threw it away.  Put it in your mouth: "It tastes good."
