Chapter 820 Welcome "It's almost August 15th, and the days go by so fast." Fang Jie looked at the bright moon hanging outside the window, smiled, turned around, and personally helped the two people sitting next to the table. He poured a glass of wine: "Day by day, year by year, it passed without feeling anything. Now think about it, when I first met General Xu in Chang'an City, it seemed that it was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival. ?¡± The old man sitting next to the table smiled quickly and said, ¡°The Duke has a really good memory. It¡¯s time to approach the Mid-Autumn Festival.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me that. I was taken care of by the old general when I was in Chang¡¯an. I haven't had time to repay this kindness." Fang Jie smiled, sat down again and filled a glass of wine for the people around him: "Although I didn't have the opportunity to meet General Liu when I was in Chang'an, I have always admired General Liu's reputation. At that time, I was surrounded by trivial matters, and it was a pity that I could not visit him. Today, my wish to meet General Liu was fulfilled. " Sitting next to him was General Sui. Liu Enjing, sitting opposite him is General Xu Xiaogong. Yang Jian removed their military posts, put them in a prison car and sent them back to Chang'an. They were rescued by Yan Kuang and others on the way, but he didn't meet them until today. These two people have been in the Black Flag Army for more than a month. They entertained them with delicious food and drink all day long. Even if they couldn't see Fang Jie's face, they were already scratching their heads like a mouse in their belly. Heart. "Alas, the military affairs are busy. It's my fault that I only have the opportunity to serve two old generals today. I'll drink a glass of apology first." Fang Jie drank all the wine in the cup, and Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong hurriedly drank with him. . If anyone sees this scene, they will definitely feel it. When he was in Chang'an City, although Fang Jie was very famous, in terms of status, he was far behind the two of them. If we were sitting at the same table drinking, how could the two of them accompany us so carefully? The world changes so quickly. When he was in Chang'an City, Xu Xiaogong's impression of Fang Jie was just that he was a rising star from a poor family. He felt that this person was really lucky. He was promoted by the God Blessed Emperor Yang Yi. If you get rid of the dirty tricks, you will be a powerful minister in the court after more than ten years. But the world was in chaos, and it didn't take more than ten years for Fang Jie to become a prince. It only took a few years for him to become a prince. And these two once-prominent generals have become prisoners. If Fang hadn't rescued them, even if Yang Jian didn't kill them, he would have had no choice but to spend his life in prison. "We should thank Mr. Guo for saving our lives!" Xu Xiaogong stood up and held the cup and said: "If it hadn't been for Mr. Guo's generous action, the two of us would have been just two withered bones on the roadside. This is kindness. As for the little things in Chang'an City, they are not worth mentioning." "What the hell." Fang Jie waved his hands and said, "It's a coincidence that we saved the two old generals." "That's right." Liu Enjing hurriedly said: "Fate!" Fang Jie picked up the cup and drank with the two of them at the same time, then sighed and said: "Unfortunately, when we were in Chang'an City, the Sui Dynasty was prosperous, the world was peaceful, the four sides surrendered, the country was peaceful and the people were safe. Look again Look at it now, only a few years ago, the great country has become like this. Although I have the heart to kill thieves for the country, I am alone." He glanced at the two men and said: "The traitors are in power, and the loyal ministers are being slaughtered. Heartbroken. My biggest wish now is to gather the wise people from all over the world to help the eldest princess to revive the Great Sui Dynasty and kill all the traitors one by one, so as to bring peace to the people. However, this is too difficult! Although the Black Flag Army has expanded its troops now, there are only a handful of useful generals, alas" Fang Jie sighed and said nothing more. Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong looked at each other and immediately understood what Fang Jie meant. Isn't this the best choice for the two of them? "If" Xu Xiaogong stood up and said: "If the Duke does not give up, I am willing to be driven by the Duke and do my part for the Black Flag Army." "I am willing too!" Liu Enjing said: "As a great leader The ministers of the Sui Dynasty feel unhappy if they can't kill thieves for the country!" "That's great!" Fang Jie said quickly: "It just so happens that the recruits trained by me at the Zhuque Mountain Camp have not been trained in battle and are not yet useful. If the two old generals are willing to condescend, I still have 10,000 men and horses short of the general. When I came back from Nanyan this time, most of the new soldiers were handed over to Chen Banshan and Zhuge Wuyin. I only have this one on hand. Thousands of people. I will go south again.10,000 surrendered troops will be transferred to create two new armies. If the two old generals are willing, how about each taking charge of an army? " Fang explained: "I know that with the prestige and qualifications of the two veteran generals, it is indeed a bit unfair to lead the army like this. But now the Black Flag Army has limited troops, so don't be surprised if you ask two of them. " Xu Xiaogong sighed: "It is our luck to be able to lead the army again. From now on, if your lord your lord has any instructions, just say so. Although we are old, we can still wield a bow and ride a horse, and we have not forgotten the things about the army in our minds. I hope we can share our worries with our lord. " Fang Jie couldn't help laughing. He took their hands and walked to the map and said, "There is a problem right now, and I need two old generals to share the worries for me. " He drew a circle on the map, including Yongbei Road, Nanhui Road, and Beihui Road: "Although these places openly declare their allegiance to the eldest princess, they are all duplicitous. Villains, if you don¡¯t fight them, they will have evil intentions after all. Where do the two old generals think they should start to intimidate? " Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong looked at each other and knew in their hearts that Fang Jie was going to completely consolidate the southwest. They are now in the Black Flag Army. If they don't do something, they are afraid that their newly obtained position will not be guaranteed. Now they have With no other choice, the court cannot use them again unless Yang Jian dies. As for the other forces, those in Jiangnan are fighting hard with Yang Jian, and it is still unclear who will win. In the current chaos of the Sui Dynasty, there are really not many candidates who can take refuge. . And Fang Jie holds the biggest initiative in the Black Flag Army! They both see this clearly. "I am willing to share my worries with you!" "The two people clasped their fists at the same time and said in unison. Yongbei Road Daozhi Crescent City It was already very late, but the lights in the Governor's Mansion were still bright. Almost all the prominent figures in the city were in the Governor's Mansion, one There are quite a few. When the news of the Black Flag Army's triumphant return from Nanyan came back, these big shots in Yongbei Road could no longer sit still. Du Jianzhou, the governor of Hui Dao, Zhong Xin, the governor of North Hui Dao, and Luo Qiu, the governor of Pingshang Dao who had been killed by Fang Jie, planned to lure Fang Jie's black flag army south to fight the He people, even if Fang Jie I'm afraid there won't be many troops left under the victory, and Luo Qiu will take the opportunity to eliminate Fang. In this way, the four of them will still dominate the southwest. But who would have thought that the Black Flag Army would win every battle south, and it would be overwhelming. The army collapsed at the first touch, and millions of He people were buried outside Yongzhou City. As for Luo Qiu, one of his allies, his family was wiped out by Fang Jie. Now all their plans failed. After Fang Jie went south, instead of suffering heavy losses, the Black Flag Army suffered even more losses. Luo Qiu is dead, and Pingshang Road and half of Nanyan are now firmly in the hands of the Black Flag Army. Next, it is Yongbei Road's turn. Haonian hoped every day that Fang Jie would be defeated in the south, and it would be better to die in the south. But contrary to expectations, Fang Jie was alive and well, and his strength was actually getting stronger when he went south. It shocked Chi Haonian and others, but in fact, no one thought that Fang Jie would rise to become a prince, but now, the person they looked down on came back with elite troops. Come, not here to quarrel! " Chi Haonian slapped the table and glanced at everyone with a gloomy face: "Fang Jie is returning to the north. The troops have already entered Yongbei Road. They are not far from Crescent City. If all the people in front eat everything, With a dirty look, he opened the door as soon as Fang Jie came. It would take the Black Flag Army less than ten days to reach Crescent City! " These words made everyone quiet down. The current situation is very clear to everyone here. Fang Jie led a large group of people back north, and finally entered Yongbei Road. No one dared to resist wherever they passed, and they opened the city gates one after another. Let him go, and everyone wants to kneel down and lick Fang Jie's shoes! This leaves Chi Haonian with no place to vent his anger. If this continues, the Black Flag Army will be at war in a few days. " Someone laughed at himself: "What qualifications do we have to break up with Fang Jie now? In the past, we used some excuse to keep a low profile and tolerated everything. As a result, we have endured until now, and we don¡¯t even have anyone who can fight! Even if there are, can these soldiers and horses in hand stop the Black Flag Army? I heard that Beihui Road is over! The man named Cui Zhongzhen personally led his troops south, and Zhong Xin handed over the entire Beihui Road without even resisting" "You want to hand it over too? "Chi Haonian asked coldly. "Don't pay? "The man also sneered: "Then what kind of peace plan does the governor plan to use?Beat? " He stood up and glanced at everyone: "We all know how Fang Jie does things in the south. Anyone who listens to him can at least keep their family property, and anyone who resists will be exterminated! Sorry everyone, my Chen family is not a well-known family in Crescent City. I have no soldiers and no generals. I still want to live to be eighty years old. I won't accompany you here to discuss how to resist the Black Flag Army. Don't worry, I won't cooperate with the Black Flag Army internally or externally. I will just wait. " He glanced at Chi Haonian and clasped his fists: "Farewell! " As soon as he stood up, everyone looked at each other in confusion. It didn't take long for more than half of the people to say goodbye. These people thought the same as the person just now. They were unable to stop Fang Jie's Black Flag Army. If they obeyed, they could still guarantee The family property has not been lost. Now, self-preservation is their greatest hope. "A bunch of trash!" " Chi Haonian suddenly stood up and cursed. A fire surged up in his heart, his throat was sweet, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. His body shook a few times, and he fell softly. The remaining Those who hadn't left looked at each other and got up one after another. No one cared about him, and they all left. The servants quickly helped Chi Haonian up and went to ask for the doctor. Chi Haonian didn't wake up until late at night. Glancing around, looking at the concerned family members surrounding him, he suddenly understood that at this time, only his family members were on his side, and his decision was most directly determined by those who cared about him. "Alas! " He let out a long sigh, and finally shook his head: "Come here, help me up. I will write a personal letter and send it to the Black Flag Army, saying just say that I, Chi Haonian, am here. Crescent City welcomes the Grand Duke! "
