    PS: These chapters may be a bit dull. The beginning of a new volume is equivalent to a new book. It will be fragrant after settling. Chapter 609: Getting to the Kitchen Liang Cheng North Black Flag Army Camp Sun Kaidao hurriedly left  He came in from outside the big tent with a smile on his face.  Fang Jie, who was sitting behind the handsome desk with his head down and reading a book, didn't even raise his head and said with a smile: "Why, the conversation today was not bad? There is joy in your footsteps. Could it be that Zhong Xin is relieved?" "  Not yet, but the subordinates can tell by looking at his face today that he is most likely going to agree." Fang Jie put the book in his hand aside and pointed to the teapot on the table: "Listen to your voice.  I'm speechless. It must have been a very difficult conversation. Pour yourself some water and then talk." Sun Kaidao poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp. He wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Zhong Xin must have been doubting who we are from the beginning to the end.  If we really only want food and grass, we still have to go to Beihui Road, so he has been testing and bargaining at first. His subordinates can see that he is using this to speculate on our purpose.  They will think that we are taking the opportunity to delay for other purposes, so my subordinates will not give in. The amount is whatever it is, not even a copper coin or a grain of rice should be missing." "Well done." Sun Kaidao said quickly: "Since my subordinates.  After receiving this errand, the general's instructions should not be taken lightly. Zhong Xin is an old fox, and he is probably doubtful now. But if I talk to him again tomorrow, he will agree. " "No need," Fang Jie waved.  : "I have asked Chen Dingnan and Lu Fenghou to lead 50,000 horse and infantry troops to Hui'an. If nothing happens, they will be able to arrive early tomorrow morning. He will keep talking to Zhong Xin and will not agree so easily. Starting tomorrow,  You just wait in the camp until they send people to talk. If they don't send people, then I will attack Hui'an. If they come to talk, then I will withdraw Hui'an's troops, but as soon as the army moves, I will attack Hui'an.  The amount of food and grass I mentioned before is no longer enough and needs to be increased." Sun Kaidao was stunned for a moment and then understood what Fang Jie meant.  "My subordinates understand!" He nodded: "We can't be too proactive." Fang Jie hummed: "Go down and have a rest. From tomorrow on, we will just wait for Zhong Xin to send someone to talk. The person who comes is not of sufficient weight.  Don't talk to anyone, don't see anyone. Also, don't tell the news about me in the camp. I asked Chen Dingnan to fight under my banner. The people in Hui'an will definitely report to Zhong Xin for help." "The Art of War is empty.  "False and real" Sun Kaidao clasped his fists: "How can Zhong Xin know what the general is doing?" Fang Jie smiled and waved his hand to let him go back to rest.  It is imperative to attack the North Hui Road. Although it seems that the speed of advancement is a bit hasty 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 to the north of the Yangtze River and have no time to take care of the southwest.  The southwest four roads were empty. Luo Yao eagerly marched into Chang'an City and took away almost all the soldiers. Those governors could not be said to be loyal to Luo Yao, but they had no soldiers now, so they wanted to gain momentum and fight back.  needs time.  Fang Jie must not give them time.  Anyone who can become a governor must have a very strong background.  Because of Luo Yao's strength in the southwest over the years, they have been suppressed and unable to perform.  After Luo Yao led his troops away, he also took away a large amount of money and food.  As soon as Luo Yao left, the pressure on them eased, but light pressure didn't mean they could make a difference immediately.  Luo Yao has dug too hard into the military resources of the Southwest Dao in recent years. When Luo Yao suppressed those governors, they could not even think of having an army of their own. Now that Luo Yao has left them, although they have a solid foundation, it is equivalent to starting from scratch.  start.  If Fang Jie does not attack the southwestern roads, wait for one year, or at most two years, and the governors with the backing of powerful family forces will have the strength to keep Fang Jie out. If he wants to attack by then, he will encounter no resistance.  It is conceivable that the team's losses will be several times higher than they are now.  Even so, Fang Jie cannot easily mobilize troops to attack Beihui Road now.  Most of his men are Black Flag Army cavalry, which are second to none in the southwest in terms of field combat.  But when it comes to siege cities and territories, there are no infantry or a large number of siege equipment, which are all disadvantages.  Although the infantry has recruited many people, it is an indisputable fact that its combat effectiveness is low.  Therefore, Fang Jie did not dare to act rashly.  To conquer the Northern Hui Road, you must be resourceful and courageous.  What he has to do now is to paralyze the governor of Beihui Province Zhong Xin and the local wealthy families as much as possible, making them think that he is just greedy for money and blackmail, and then find the most suitable entry point.  Fang Jie is now somewhat fortunate that aloneDuring that meeting, Gu Wenxiu directly rejected his casual idea. If Huangyang Road began to implement land division and household registration, it would be more difficult to conquer Beihui Road.  ??The big families in the Northern Hui Dao and even the southwest Dao will immediately rise up to resist. How powerful will these people gather together?  So Fang Jie also understands that if you want the people to get more benefits, it cannot be solved blindly.  In the position he was in now, if he made one wrong move, he would fall very painfully.  In the past, when he was just a frontier scout in Fan Gu, he wouldn't think about these things. If he did something wrong, he would just continue to run away.  Later, when he entered Chang'an, his level was not too high. Even if he fell, he could get up and continue living.  But now, the height he has reached no longer allows him to fall, because he is already very high, and if he falls, he will be very painful.  The more things a person has, the more scruples he has.  "General" When Fang Jie was a little distracted, someone outside called him softly: "General, Sanjin Hou invites you to come over. He said that he has prepared food and wants to invite you to have a drink with him." Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, and then  After realizing that Wu Yinyu, the little girl, had been running towards him a lot these days, but because of official matters, he didn't have time to pay much attention to them. Wu Daodao sent someone to invite him over, but it was probably because the eldest lady lost her temper again.  Fang Jie felt a little embarrassed when he thought that people all over the world regarded him as his uncle.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ The place where Wu Yiyi lives is at the very back of the camp. There is a row of five houses in the innermost part of the village, with a large yard.  This is the best courtyard in the camp and was originally built for Fang Jie.  But Fang Jie had been living in the camp since arriving, and because Wu Yiyi was unwilling to be on an equal footing with him, Fang Jie felt a little apologetic, so he insisted on asking Wu Yiyi to move in here.  Fang Jie had someone prepare some cooked food and carried it into the small courtyard himself.  As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a fragrance. Fang Jie looked into the yard and found that the kitchen was steaming out through the window.  He looked into the kitchen and saw that the delicate and graceful little girl was busy with her work, and several servants were busy waiting behind her.  This is not the Wu Yinyu that Fang Jie once knew. When she was in Chang'an City, let alone she wouldn't touch things in the kitchen, she wouldn't take a bite even if they didn't please her eyes.  But at this time, the little girl who had become more and more famous had a gauze scarf on her head and her hair was gathered up. The weather had turned cold, but she was only wearing a single shirt with her cuffs rolled up, revealing her white hair.  His forearms were bent and busy.  A servant saw Fang Jie approaching and was about to salute. Fang Jie waved his hand, handed the food box he was carrying to a servant, and then quietly entered the kitchen.  He waved his hand, and the servants then left with a smile.  Wu Yinyu, who was busy, did not notice that the servants had retreated. At this time, her attention was entirely on the pot of chicken soup in front of her that had been stewed all morning. Her face was solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.  Because she had to work, she didn't wear a particularly cumbersome skirt. Her upper body was a goose-yellow coat, and her waist was extremely narrow. But compared with her slim waist, this dress was actually a little slim.  Loose.  Fang Jie even had the illusion that her waist had become thicker.  The skirt is a long cotton home skirt that you won¡¯t wear when going out. It has a large hem and a very fluffy feel.  This outfit made her look extraordinarily ladylike, and her past unruly temperament was not visible at all.  She bent over and stared at the pot of chicken soup, as if she were guarding a treasure.  Because raising your buttocks like this makes your slender waist more clear.  Such a perfect arc starts from the waist and then gradually widens. When it reaches the hips, the two arcs form a very straight circle.  Sometimes beauty is so incredible that it makes people feel distraught.  Wu Yinyu heard footsteps behind him, but didn't know it was Fang Jie coming.  She scooped up some chicken soup with a spoon and blew it to taste, then frowned slightly. There were some wrinkles on her small and delicate nose, which made her look particularly cute.  "It's a bit bland I haven't figured out his taste yet. Forget it, if he doesn't like it salty, it wouldn't be bad if I added it Long'er, I forgot to put the red dates. Go get it for me." She also had a headache.  No reply to the order.  Long'er, who had hid outside the door a long time ago, pursed her lips and smiled, sticking out her tongue towards Fang Jie and pointing to the kitchen. Fang Jie nodded immediately, went over and grabbed a handful of red dates and handed them to her.  Wu Yinyu.  Wu Yinyu reached out to take it, hesitated 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 Jie leaned forward to observe the chicken soup, but the two of them didn't notice anything.They collided with each other in an ominous manner, and Wu Yinyu suddenly ran into Fang Jie's arms, face to face.  "Ah" Wu Yinyu exclaimed, and quickly stepped back but accidentally bumped into the stove. Fang Jie held her waist and pulled her back, and with the other hand he picked up the overturned casserole.  But the casserole was saved, but the stove fell over and the charcoal fire spread all over the floor.  "Hot!" Wu Yinyu was startled and shouted eagerly.  ¡°It¡¯s okay¡± Fang Jie¡¯s face changed when he saw how anxious she was, and there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.  "My chicken soup" Wu Yinyu murmured, perhaps trying to hide his shyness and embarrassment.  "It's my fault." Fang Jie smiled: "I scared you, otherwise I wouldn't have knocked over the stove. Are you okay?" Wu Yinyu forgot to struggle out of Fang Jie's arm, lowered his head and said in a panic:  "It's okay I've been up all morning. Now that the stove has turned over, I have to relight the fire. I'm afraid it won't taste good" "No need to relight the fire." Fang Jie smiled and took Wu Yinyu's hand from the kitchen.  Come out and let her sit down on the stone bench in the yard.  "Do you know what is the biggest progress in my practice these days?" Fang Jie asked with a smile.  Wu Yinyu shook his head: "I haven't seen you all day, how do I know what you do every day. If dad calls you to come for a drink, you come. If I ask Long'er to invite you to dinner, you just shirk" Fang Jie smiled awkwardly.  He smiled, then held the casserole in his hand, and then flames spit out from his hand.  "I'll help you stew chicken soup. It's been difficult to control the fire recently. In the past, everything was burned as soon as the fire came out. Now at least I can control it more freely." "What's the use of this?" Wu Yinyu was puzzled.  .  "It's useful. I can help you cook in the future." Wu Yinyu blushed and stamped his feet: "Who wants to cook for you! I'm cooking for my father!" "Eh" Wu Yiyi walked out of the house  He smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you cook all the food for me. Whenever you want to learn how to cook, I will eat the burned food. When you have learned how to cook, I will call him to taste it."  If I take one bite of your cooking, I will have to eat a test product that is either burnt, has no salt, has too much vinegar, or has too much sugar" "Dad!" Wu Yinyu yelled, grabbing the corners of his clothes with both hands.  , at a loss.
