Chapter 645: It will be very messy in a while. Luo Qiu stood up and swept his clothes He glanced at the direction of the He camp and couldn't help but smile: "I remember in the first year of Tianyou, His Majesty ordered the governors of all provinces to return to the capital to report their duties. That was also the first year I came to Pingshang Road as governor. "On August 15th, His Majesty hosted a banquet for all ministers in Changchun Garden" Although his tone was calm, Xu Qingzhi could tell that the old man was feeling a little sad. When an old man recalls the past so seriously and carefully, even if it does not mean that he has become so old that only memories are left, it is enough to show that he has no ambition to make progress. "That was the only time since I became the governor that I saw the twenty-four governors of the Sui Dynasty gathered together." Luo Qiu smiled and said: "Since then, there has never been such a grand occasion I remember His Majesty was in high spirits at the time, and after drinking some wine, he spoke more. He pointed at us people and said, "Youare considered to be those who stand on high places in the Sui Dynasty. The ancients said that only by climbing high can you see far." And because you are standing high, you can see farther than ordinary people." "His Majesty asked us, what did you see?" Luo Qiu said, "I answered with six words, and His Majesty asked me to reward me. An East PearlI say, longevity and prosperity in the Sui Dynasty." Xu Qingzhi's face couldn't help but change after hearing these six words, and then he sighed deeply. Luo Qiu's words also reminded him of his youth. At that time, he never thought that the Sui Dynasty would be as corrupt as it is now. Not just him, almost everyone in the Sui Dynasty, from common people to officials, believed that the Sui Dynasty would really live long and prosperous. "At that time, His Majesty said that the twenty-four of us were standing at a high place, but none of us had seen today more than ten years later. I am afraid that even His Majesty, who was standing at the highest place, had not seen today. But. I have always believed that over the years, whether I see people or things, I can see things more clearly than others." Luo Qiu said with some sadness: "I understand today that this world is no longer the world of old guys like us. . Even" He glanced at Xu Qingzhi: "You are in your prime, but the world is getting further and further away from you Just now you and I were sitting together worried, unable to see what kind of methods a young man was using. He manipulated you and me until we were unable to fight back. But now I understand that he not only manipulated you and me, he manipulated the entire war situation." "He has millions of people, Nanyan has hundreds of thousands, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yongzhou City. How big of a world can a person have in his heart that he can fit so many people into it but still not be able to fit it in? That day, at the August 15th banquet, His Majesty said that we, the twenty-four governors, should not be too small, and we must at least hold a kingdom. And His Majesty only needs to keep the twenty-four of us in his heart Your Majesty's words are just encouragement. Your Majesty is already an unparalleled wise king who can see thousands of miles away" "The sea is open to all rivers" Luo Qiu said: "Fang Jie, this young man It's amazing that he has only arrived at Pingshang Road not long ago, and he has all his enemies in this country in his hands. I have seen many amazing young talents, and Fang Jie is the only one who scares me. " Xu Qingzhi was stunned. He didn't expect Luo Qiu's evaluation of Fang Jie to be so high. "SirAlthough Fang Jie is good, can he be so highly praised by you?" he asked. "HahaXu Ruonian, I know you are very angry. If the Great Sui Dynasty is still stable and peaceful, with your qualifications and abilities, plus I can help you say a few words in the court, among the soldiers of the Sixteenth Guards, There may not be a position for you as a general in the army. But think about it, how many years will you have to wait for?" Xu Qingzhi was silent for a while and then replied: "That's right." Luo Qiu said: "At least ten years. , you must at least wait until someone from the Sixteenth Guards General disarms you. By that time, you will be nearly fifty years old, and the third-grade general is already the ultimate military general. There will only be one Li Xiao in the Sui Dynasty for a hundred years. He has become a second-grade general. But the world is in chaos. Logically speaking, if you want to do something in your position, wouldn't it be easier to succeed? " "Now he calls himself a general, and no one can do it. Ridiculing this general is not worthy of his name." Luo Qiu said: "He is not yet twenty years old." Xu Qingzhi was so upset that he felt like he could only vent his discomfort by yelling or killing someone. Although Luo Qiu did not belittle him, his evaluation of Fang Jie was too high, which was unacceptable to him. "Times make heroes." Luo Qiu smiled: "I know you will feel uncomfortable saying this, but you have been with me for so many years, you shouldTo be clearI only lie to my opponents. If you were my opponent, I would say some nice words that would make you feel comfortable, as if you were drunk. But you are my confidant, and it won¡¯t do you any harm to say something unpleasant. " Xu Qingzhi nodded: "I know that for so many years, you have treated me like a father. " "Don't think about Fang Jie, because it's not necessary. " Luo Qiu suddenly said such a sentence, which made Xu Qingzhi's eyes flash immediately. " Greed will always make people very motivated, but greed will always make people unable to see clearly. Interests confuse the eyes, and the eyes deceive the heart. Fang Jie may be more ruthless than you think You just said that I am like your father, so you should think carefully about this. " Xu Qingzhi nodded, but his heart became more and more uncomfortable. He was silent for a while and asked: "Sir, are we really going to wait here? " Luo Qiu shook his head: "If there is no Black Flag Army in the city, why should we wait any longer? It seems that you still didn't understand what I just said. I don't let you think about Fang Jie because he will become a madman next. " Xu Qingzhi didn't understand. He thought about it for a while before he understood: "I understand! "He turned around and shouted to his soldiers: "Pass my order, the army will return to Yongzhou immediately and seal the eight gates! " Only then did he understand what Luo Qiu meant, and at the same time he overturned his previous thought that Luo Qiu was too old to be ruthless. He also understood the gap between himself and Luo Qiu, and understood why Luo Qiu could compete with Luo Yao They have been together peacefully for so many years. Luo Qiu just said that Fang Jie scares him. How could someone like Luo Qiu keep someone he is afraid of? Luo Qiu is an old fox. What are you here to do? To solve Yongzhou's dilemma! Originally, Luo Qiu and Xu Qingzhi thought that no matter how powerful Fang Jie was, it would not be easy to defeat Tuhun Duobie and Murong Yongduo. It would be a hard and bloody battle, and both sides would lose in the end. But now it seems that he doesn't have to wait that long. The reason why Fang Jie arranged all this with such confidence shows that he is confident of defeating Tuhun Duobie and Murong Yongduo in one battle. If Fang Jie can do it. At this point, why are you still here? Fang Jie must have transferred the Black Flag Army away from Yongzhou City at this time. Whether he wants to raid the Nanyan army or the He tribe, there is no Fang Jie's strength in Yongzhou City now. Now go back and seal the eight gates and let Fang Jie, Tuhun Duobie and Murong Yongduo fight in darkness. Even if Fang Jie wins a big victory, will he still be able to attack the city with his remaining troops? Yongzhou is a fantasy, so even if Fang Jie wins and his supplies are in the city, he can only retreat. There is no place for him on Pingshang Road, but he has offended Tai along the way. There are too many, whether it is Nanhui Road, Beihui Road or Yongbei Road, there are countless people preparing to kill him. Therefore, Fang Jie has to count himself in this time. Looking at the empty money bags of Nie Xiaoju and Chen Xiaoru, they sighed with some disappointment: "I only have so little money with me, it's boring, boring!" " Chen Xiaoru smiled bitterly and said: "General this is already two months' salary for my subordinates, is it still less? "Nie Xiaoju squatted on the ground resentfully and looked at her hands: "I understand now that my hands can only do embroidery" "No" Fang Jie shook his head and threw the money bag back. Nie Xiaoju: ¡°Your hands can embroider and kill people. " Fang Jie stood up and took out a pocket watch from his sleeve and looked at it: "Foreigners can actually use many things for practical purposes, such as clairvoyance, firearms, and this watch. The Han people in the Central Plains have a desire to control time much earlier than the foreigners, but the means of control are somewhat vague. I asked Sanjin Hou for help a long time ago to ask if I could buy this thing from a Dongchu merchant, but I didn't expect it to be possible. " "Do you know how much money this thing is worth? " He asked Chen Xiaoru. "I don't know Shiliang? " Chen Xiaoru replied tentatively. "This one cost me about three years of your salary. " Fang Jie's answer made Chen Xiaoru burst into tears. His salary was already very high. Three years' salary is definitely a figure that would stun ordinary people. Even Chen Xiaoru was a little surprised that such a small thing could be so valuable. "Sometimes time is worthless" Fang Jie smiled.Said: "For example, when a person is desperate, decadent, doing nothing, and blaming others, time is worthless. Because the time a person wastes is meaningless to him. But now time is more important to me than anything else. Dong Chu No matter how much money the merchant charges, he will still buy it if it is ten times more expensive than this today!" Chen Xiaoru suddenly remembered that the general had given each of these generals one of these when he summoned his subordinates to distribute military affairs before leading the army out of the city. He also taught Chen Dingnan, Xiahou Baichuan, Liu Xuri and several others how to use it. In order to ensure that they did not forget it, the general personally wrote three things and gave them to them. Chen Xiaoru recalled it carefully and suddenly understood the meaning of Fang Jie's words. The general said that the control of time cannot be vague. This thing was used by the general and several other generals at an agreed time! "Let's go." Fang Jie looked at Nie Xiaoju and the two of them: "You two followed me in, and now you have to follow me out. When you came in, one of you was dragging a wine bottle and the other was holding a paper umbrella When you went out, "Have you two prepared what you have?" Nie Xiaoju stretched out her hands: "It's enough for me to have these hands." Chen Xiaoru smiled: "I also have two hands, although they are smaller than Nie Xiaoju's. His hands are not as flexible as his, but his subordinates' hands are suitable for killing people. "At this moment, chaos suddenly broke out in the camp outside. I don't know what happened. The He people outside were shouting in an extremely noisy and panicful manner. It sounded as if half of the He camp was in chaos, and the chaos seemed to be spreading extremely quickly. Fang Jie hummed, glanced at the He girl who had sensed something was wrong and was a little scared, and then asked in a calm tone: "Are you running fast enough?" The girl didn't understand, and shook her head subconsciously, but she quickly He nodded again. "Run" Fang Jie smiled and said, "There will be some chaos here in a while." Just when Xu Qingzhi had just ordered the county soldiers to return to Yongzhou, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and he wiped it subconsciously For a moment, his face immediately turned pale. There is blood on the hands. I don¡¯t know when, a beautiful woman appeared next to him. Wearing a light blue dress, with her hair flowing behind her head, and a flawless face, she just stood there quietly, and then said something in a very soft tone. "Let your people wait here honestly. If one of you goes back, I will kill both of you. You will die quickly, faster than anyone can take a step."
