(The battle for the monthly vote list seems to be a battle a month, but in fact it is a battle every day, and the victory or defeat is even only one minute. It is the fifth day, which means that we have won four major battles and are currently fighting. The fifth game, it will be easy after that, right? Just win thirty-one games.) Chapter 568: Don¡¯t worry about him learning. Fang Jie took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corners of his mouth and fingers. He pointed at the soldiers who had already revealed their traces in the peach grove and asked with a smile: "Is this a guard of honor set up by the general to welcome me? Why are you all standing in the peach grove? The peach blossoms have just faded and the fruits are still green, but They stuffed their mouths full My mouth feels sour just thinking about it. General, it seems that all the soldiers under your command like to eat green peaches If they weren't so hungry, who would stuff them in their mouths? There are so many fluffy green peaches in there? Jin Shixiong¡¯s expression kept changing. After being silent for a while, he waved his hand. The two soldiers behind him immediately walked out of the pavilion and asked Taolin¡¯s soldiers to withdraw. "Now that we are here, there is no need to test anything anymore." Jin Shixiong drank all the wine in the cup: "General Fang, you brought back a strong army. This is why I am waiting for you here." Fang Jiexiao He smiled and sat down again: "This is true. If I didn't have this cavalry, how could the general be waiting for me here." Jin Shixiong ignored the sarcasm in Fang Jie's words. The other party clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Fang Jie The general also knew what was going on in the Central Plains. Several governors no longer accepted the imperial decree. Pang Ba in the south of the Yangtze River gathered the so-called national defense army, but they did not move troops to Luo Yao. Instead, they prepared to go north to the Hedong Road to open the Taiwang Yiqu. Luo Yao was also watching. Needless to say, the world is in such chaos now that the ministers are strong but the leader is weak. You and I both know what will happen next. " "Although General Fang has such a powerful cavalry, the general's connections are still weak. Qian, everyone has to think more about themselves. Hasn¡¯t the general thought about doing something big? If the general is willing, we can join forces and I can raise money and food to strengthen the army. The general can overcome obstacles with determination. " He glanced at Fang Jie and said seriously: "This is something that is good for both you and me. The general should know that what I said is true. You and I will join hands to first target the northwest and then move to the southwest. Even if we can't wipe out the entire Central Plains with our troops, half of the western half will be wiped out." It's easy to get. When the time comes, whether you continue to march or use it as a bargaining chip, you can get a good future." Fang Jie waited for him to finish, clapped his hands and said, "The general said it well, and the prospect is also very beautiful. " He turned to Sun Kaidao and asked, "What do you think, sir?" Sun Kaidao smiled and said, "What General Jin said does make sense. With General Jin's many years of experience in leading troops, there will definitely be many benefits to joining forces. And Jin. The old general also has the support of many wealthy families. It is expected that the old general has contacted many people during these days, right? " "But" He changed his tone and said: "But old general Jin, even if it is cooperation, There must also be a distinction between priorities. If there is no priority, the government orders will be unclear, and chaos will follow. Logically speaking, General Jin is highly respected, so my general is naturally willing to respect General Jin as the primary one, and my general as the secondary one. What do the people below say? How to appease him?" Jin Shixiong thought for a moment and said, "It only takes a little more time to obey." Sun Kaidao said bluntly, "I don't want to be convinced." Sun Kaidao turned to him. Explained: "General, I don't know what others think. Speaking from my own thoughts, I am definitely not willing to follow General Jin." "Why?" Fang Jie asked. Sun Kaidao said seriously: "I will follow you, General, from the most difficult time. In the future, if the General achieves great success, his subordinates will also be honored. Needless to say, he will return home in glory and shine on the lintel. Because the General knows our loyalty." , I will definitely give you favors. But what about General Jin There are also some people under General Jin. Can General Jin guarantee that he will give us more than he gives to them? Can he guarantee that we will not be biased in the future? "Exclusion?" Sun Kaidao smiled: "General Jin also said bluntly just now that it is because you have one hundred thousand cavalry in your hands that I am waiting for you here to discuss cooperation. If it takes a long time, those one hundred thousand cavalry will be gone." I have obeyed General Jin, what about you, General? If I were you, I would be worried that one day you would leave with one hundred thousand cavalry, so I would definitely find a way to get rid of you, and then gradually eliminate the generals under your command. Replace your confidant" "You idiot!" Jin Shixiong said angrily: "It's your turn to talk nonsense! Come on, take this person out!" Fang Jie glanced at Jin Shixiong and said coldly: "General, Doesn't it seem a bit rude of you to do this?" He looked coldly at the two soldiers who wanted to come up and take action and said, "Mr. Sun is my man, when will it be someone else's turn to give orders?" The two soldiers wanted to move forward but didn't dare, so they He hesitated and glanced at Jin Shixiong from time to time. Jin Shixiong's face was ashen and he waved his hand to signal the two soldiers to retreat. He suppressed his anger and said: "General Fang, I am waiting here specifically to give you good advice. Needless to say, you should know the sincerity in it. Please also ask General Fang. Think twice, don't miss this great opportunity. In these troubled times, who doesn't want to make a big difference? It's really a pity that General Fang has a strong army but doesn't know how to use it." Fang Jie couldn't help but laugh: "If I hand over the cavalry to you, you won't feel it's a pity, right?" Jin Shixiong glanced at Fang Jie subconsciously, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes. "I think what Mr. Sun said makes sense" Fang Jie said while eating vegetables: "I have no close relationship with the general. The general is willing to wait here not because of me but because of my one hundred thousand soldiers." . Since it is so obvious, how could I not think about what the general will do to me in the future? My people are following me to gain a future. If I agree to you, I am afraid that the team will mutiny immediately. Although I come from a poor family. "I haven't read much, but I'm not so stupid that I can't see what I'll be like tomorrow." He patted his belly: "I'm fullit's great to save myself a meal." The corner of Jin Shixiong's mouth twitched and he glared at Fang. Take a look. "Let's say goodbye." Fang Jie stood up and said: "General, when negotiating with someone, you have to keep the other party's mind in mind, otherwise you won't be able to reach an agreement in the end. You only think about how to get more benefits for yourself, and you only know how to take but not know how to get more benefits. "Yu, not to mention me, even anyone else would definitely not be able to get along with you. You are so ugly, but you think you are so beautiful" "That's enough!" Jin Shixiong stood up and said, "You are here today. , Are you here to humiliate me?" Fang Jie shook his head and said seriously: "No, I just said, I'm here to have this meal. It's good to eat one meal for you and save one for me. , I just want to take advantage of you, so I take advantage of it. Because you don't care about a meal, and my goal is just a meal. If you want to take advantage of me, I won't let you take advantage of it. Because you are greedy and I am greedy, so I am greedy but you are not." He waved, and the white lion in the distance ran over under the horrified eyes of Jin Shixiong's men. Fang Jie rode on the white lion and turned around. He said to Jin Shixiong: "This is too profound, maybe you don't understand!" Jin Shixiong only realized after Fang Jie left that the guy might really just come here for a meal. This made Jin Shixiong find it a bit difficult to understand, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Especially what Fang Jie said before leaving almost exploded his lungs. Because you are greedy more and I am greedy less, so I am greedy but you are not. These words were like a slap on his face, very loud. Looking at Fang Jie¡¯s leaving figure, Jin Shixiong cursed a few words in a low voice. The white hair on his temples hung down and was blown by the wind. He did not have the grace that a man who has been in the officialdom for decades should have. In fact, now he can no longer maintain his grace. He was left in the northwest by the emperor, with no way to go south and no way to the east. He can't develop in this tired place even if he wants to! That¡¯s why he is waiting for Fang Jie here, because his own strength is simply not enough to open the way back to the Central Plains. As he said himself, now that the Central Plains has reached this point, who doesn¡¯t want to fight for it? Although the Jin family is not a first-class family, it still has hundreds of years of foundation. If it really tries its best, it may not be impossible for them to give it a try. How could the emperor have left him in the northwest if he hadn't been worried that he might have had other ideas before he left? When Fang Jie came back, he actually knew that it was not that easy to achieve the purpose of cooperation. But what he didn't expect was that this young man had no respect for a person of his status at all! So the more he thought about it, the angrier he became! Kicked over the stone table in front of him, Jin Shixiong's face turned the color of pig liver. "General, are you going to let him go like this?" A soldier said unwillingly: "That's too arrogant" "Shut up!" Jin Shixiong said angrily: "It's not shameful! I asked you to arrange for people to wait in the peach forest. They are all picking green peaches to eat I have been embarrassed by you! Just seeing this, Fang Jie is sure that we have no food in our hands! If I really have food in my hands, he may not refuse. Promise to cooperate with me!" The soldier trembled in fright and backed away, not daring to speak. ¡°Start at them!¡± ?Shixiong pointed at Fang Jie as he left and said loudly: "Send someone to keep an eye on them and see where they are going!" The soldiers responded quickly and immediately sent people to arrange the arrangements. Fang Jie and Sun Kaidao returned to the camp, feeling much better. He had already guessed Jin Shixiong's thoughts, so this time it could be said that he was just for dinner and watching a movie. "General, I suddenly thought of something." After a while, Sun Kaidao came back and suddenly came to Fang Jie again, his face a little solemn. Fang Jie was reading a book in the carriage. The journey was long and it was impossible for him to ride a white lion all day long. He has been reading historical books recently, and Xiang Qingniu's words a while ago deeply touched him, so he asked someone to collect a lot of books on this subject. Historical records are restricted by the imperial court and will never be circulated outside. So most of the stories I found were unofficial stories, but I could find some truth by reading a few more books to corroborate each other. Seeing Sun Kaidao come in, Fang Jie put down the book in his hand and pointed to the opposite side: "Sit down and say, why is it so urgent? I just went back and came back in a hurry." He poured a cup of tea for Sun Kaidao and handed it over, and Sun Kaidao took it with both hands. Come and lean over to say thank you. When he lowered his head, he looked at the book Fang Jie was reading, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "After my subordinates returned, they suddenly thought of something." Sun Kaidao said seriously: "When we returned to the Central Plains with such great fanfare, Jin Shixiong must have been surprised that the general suddenly had 100,000 troops! And they were all cavalry, and he He is short of soldiers and food. Seeing our strong soldiers and horses coming back, I don't think he will be tempted to take the men and horses to raid the grassland! If he comes back from the grassland in the future, he will definitely be stronger. The general has offended him thoroughly today. If he grows stronger in the future, he will not be a stumbling block for the general. So my subordinates suddenly thought of this after returning and hurriedly came. General, do you want to take action first? " Fang Jie smiled and said: "There is no need for this. Worry." He stretched himself and said with a smile, "Why should I fight the Northern Barbarians when we are training on the grassland?" Sun Kaidao was stunned for a moment, then he clapped his hands and laughed, "Wonderful!" He couldn't help but praise: " It turned out that the general had already thought of this, so he led his troops to raid the Northern Barbarians. In this way, after the general left with his army, the Northern Barbarians would immediately go south to occupy the Mandu Banner, for fear that others would seize it again. Go. When they were in the wilderness, they tried the combat power of the Great Sui's frontier army infantry, and it was even more terrifying to find the Great Sui's infantry mounted on the grassland, so once Jin Shixiong led his troops into the grassland, the Northern Barbarian King He would immediately go crazy and attack with his tribe. The Northern Barbarian King would not dare to see another Han team grow, and he would not allow anyone to take away his territory. " He did not hear Fang Jie's words to the Northern Barbarian King. If he heard what he said, he would be even more frightened. The current Fang Jie is far deeper than what he sees on the surface.
