Chapter 1,209 What is saved is what is sent. "I don't want to doubt anyone of my people casually." Fang Jie looked at the waves of the river, his face surprisingly calm. We are getting closer to Chang'an. We estimate that we can reach Yanyang City in another seven or eight days. It is 1,900 miles from Yangyang City to Chang'an, which is the last section of the journey of ten thousand miles. Fang Jie had already given instructions before to stay in Yanyang City for one day. "Maybe, this is my weakness?" Fang Jie asked. Wu Yiyi was sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat. There was a low table in front of him, and the low table did not move even if the bow of the ship swayed. Not to mention this short table, not even a drop of water spilled out of the tea cup on the short table. It is not something that ordinary people can do to make tea on the waves at the head of the river. Xiang Qingniu was lying on the deck two meters away from Fang Jie, dragging a fishing rod. There was no bait on his hook at all. He said he wanted to try his luck and see if he would hurt a big fish by dragging the hook through the water along the way. "This is everyone's weakness." Wu Yiyi stretched out his hand, and Fang Jie immediately sat down opposite him. Wu Daodao continued: "Everyone doesn't want to doubt the people around them, but everyone has doubts in their hearts. In the eyes of others, a loving couple, who knows whether they have ever suspected each other of being unfaithful? This kind of suspicion Maybe everyone in the world has it, but as long as they don't have inner demons, it's normal." Fang Jie nodded: "Just now, Liao Sheng received news from the Xiao Riding School that the conflict between Cui Zhongzhen and Dugu seems to be getting deeper and deeper. . Most of the civil servants I stayed in Chang'an City were on Dugu's side, and most of the military officers were on Cui Zhongzhen's side. It had only been less than a year and a half since I left. Since ancient times, the civil servants had been in a state of chaos. Gradually seizing power, but the general is unwilling to lose the position of power he has fought for with his life. This contradiction seems to be unsolvable. "I want to know, is the lord suspicious of Dugu?" Wu Yiyi asked directly. Fang Jie did not answer. He was silent for a while and then said: "Dugu has the ability to stabilize Chaogang, but he has been impoverished and lived a very hard life since he was a child. He only wants to get ahead and return to his hometown in fine clothes. Now that he is in power and position, if he behaves a little bit beyond the rules "It's understandable." Wu Yiyi looked at the cup in his hand: "I heard that after Dugu took power, he sent people back to his hometown to punish all the members of the family who had bullied his mother and son. His mother's people had their homes raided, and many of them were imprisoned and sent to the border as slaves on random charges. " Fang Jie nodded: "It's true. " Wu Yiyi said. He worriedly said: "This kind of thing is always unavoidable, not just Dugu Wenxiu? I heard that there are many civilians and military generals in the Black Flag Army who behave like this. The main reason is that most of the generals in the Black Flag Army come from poor families. Everyone has a past that cannot be forgotten, and most of them are suppressed and cannot be separated from each other. If this trend lasts for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it. " Fang Jie did not answer the question about Dugu Wenxiu before, and he did not express his position this time. "Let's first see if they have restraint in their hearts. Dugu didn't kill anyone this time, so it's quite restrained." Wu Yiyi didn't understand Fang Jie's attitude, so he just nodded. He knew that what Fang Jie said was correct. With Dugu Wenxiu's current position of power, it would be easy to kill those who bullied him and his mother. As long as Dugu Wenxiu showed some words, there would be people willing to do this for him. At present, basically no officials in the Jiangnan provinces have been replaced. These local officials who are not directly connected to the Black Flag Army are eager to have the opportunity to express their stance to the court. Dugu Wenxiu now has all the power. As long as he is willing, many officials in the Jiangnan area will immediately worship him. "Let's think about how to deal with the matter in Yanyang City." Fang explained: "Yanyang City is one thousand nine hundred miles away from Chang'an City, which is far away and close. The main extension of power is one thousand nine hundred miles away. Miles are not far at all. But in terms of details, nineteen hundred miles is not close. We don¡¯t know how strong those people are, so I want to try it in Yanyang City. Strong, it means that these people's power network within a radius of two thousand miles is very full." Wu Yiyi hummed: "Gao Xianze, the governor of Yanyang City, and Gao Kaitai have some minor connections, so it seems that the two families are not related. It's too far. That's why Gao Kaitai was thinking about going there. If nothing else happened, if Gao Kaitai really captured Chang'an City, Gao Xianze would definitely support him in ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. However, Gao Kaitai was defeated too quickly. , Gao Xianze didn¡¯t even have time to express his position.¡±?Gao Kaitai is just a pawn of those people. Fang Jie smiled: "When Yang Yi suppressed the rebellion in the northwest, why did Gao Kaitai suddenly rebel?" Logically speaking, Yang Yi easily liked this person. Since he dared to hand over nearly 200,000 troops to Gao Kaitai, it shows that Yang Yi trusted Gao Kaitai at that time. We can't say that Gao Kaitai is a man without his own opinion. He was said to have changed his mind when he met Wang Yiqu? " Wu Yiyi said: "Obviously, Gao Kaitai and Wang Yiqu were both pawns in the hands of these people at that time. It's just that they were ruined by the Yang family Even if those people had profound knowledge, they didn't know that Yang Jian was still alive and would come out of the mausoleum. " Fang Jie nodded: "The Yang family is actually particularly desperate when resisting this invisible force. " Wu Yiyi sighed: "However, the Yang family doesn't know who they are facing, and they can't fight if they have the strength. " A big fish was thrown on the deck by Xiang Qingniu. The fish was more than one meter long. If it were an ordinary person, it would be difficult to lift it from the river. Xiang Qingniu obviously also I didn¡¯t expect that I could really catch such a big fish. I was stunned for a while before I ran over and picked up the fish. ¡°Is this called surrendering? " He smiled so hard that his mouth twisted. " Throw yourself into your arms? " Fang Jie suddenly froze when he heard these four words. After being silent for a while, he laughed inexplicably: "Yes It's such a simple and obvious truth, but I couldn't understand it before. Throw yourself into your arms, those are the four words. " Wu Yiyi and Xiang Qingniu didn't know what Fang Jie was thinking, and they looked at him eagerly. Fang Jie seemed to feel much better immediately. He got up and went over, found a knife to clean up the big fish himself. His men Knowing that Fang Jie likes fishing and grilling fish, he immediately moved all his things over when Fang Jie took action. ¡°How can you tell the difference between people around you if there are spies sent by the enemy? Generally speaking, there are two types of capable people under you. The first type is discovered by yourself and then recruited. The second type is that he came here on his own. According to the probability, most of the people who come to seek refuge are not simple. Fang Jie smiled and said, "This is throwing yourself into someone's arms." "Wu Yiyi thought for a while and began to count on his fingers. "But it's still very complicated. Some people did come here on their own. But judging from his origin, it is impossible to have any background. And some of the people recruited have very complicated backgrounds. " "This is the appearance. "Fang explained four words. Just when he was about to explain something, he saw you, Liu Enjing and Lu Fenghou, walking towards this side together. "I could smell the aroma of my lord's grilled fish from afar, and I couldn't help but salivate. trickle down. " Liu Enjing said with a smile, and then saluted Fang Jie and Wu Yiyi. Fang Jie smiled, pointed to the deck and said, "Then sit down and wait. The days on the boat are quite boring anyway, and there happens to be river food to accompany the wine. Let's just have a good drink together. " "I'm going to get some wine! " Lu Fenghou trotted back, and soon came back with a jar of aged wine. Wu Yiyi looked at Liu Enjing, then at Lu Fenghou, and suddenly seemed to understand Fang Jie's meaning. He and Fang Jie did not miss the point. Weizi looked at each other and smiled, "My lord, I heard that we are going to stop at Yanyang City? " Lu Fenghou asked while pouring wine for Fang Jie. Fang Jie nodded: "Yanyang City, like Jiangdu, is a very important place. Jiang will be guarded by Liu Bing, and the original local forces will be removed, so that our troops can take root there. This is the case in Yanyang City. Gao Xianze has been ignored by no one in Yanyang City for the past five or six years. He is not in a hurry to join in the fun and has steadily developed his own strength. Now he cannot be underestimated. If this person can be used, it will be best. If he cannot be used, he is a huge cancer. " Lu Fenghou said: "What are you afraid of? If he is dishonest, just kill him directly. The brothers below were just walking around, their arms, legs and feet were almost rusty, and they were eager to have another big battle and fight happily for a while. Liu Enjing said: "I don't think so." " He looked at Fang Jie and said, "Gao Xianze and Gao Kaitai are related to each other. But when Gao Kaitai besieged Chang'an City, he wrote to Gao Xianze several times, asking Gao Xianze to bring troops to join him. However, Gao Xianze never made his position clear from beginning to end. This man has great wisdom. Such a person is deeply rooted in the local area, and I feel that even if I want to get rid of him, I can't do it by force. Gao Xianze has always had great prestige among the people. If he sends troops to exterminate him without any reason, he is afraid of being unpopular with the people. ¡± These words are ambiguous, and I don¡¯t know if he agrees.After destroying Gao Xianze, he still agreed to appease Gao Xianze. "I think." Lu Fenghou said: "We should suppress the arrogance of those people like Jiangdu did." Liu Enjing was silent for a while and said: "Although I don't agree with sending troops, I also feel that people like Gao Xianze Not very reliable. He doesn't help anyone in troubled times, but develops himself steadily. He seems to have no desires and desires, but in fact, this kind of person is the most scheming, so he knows that he can't win the world. Strengthen himself vigorously. He knows very well that no matter who sits in Longting, he will not underestimate him. He is increasing his chips, so such a person has no loyalty at all. He is just waiting until the end. Express your position." Wu Yiyi glanced at Fang Jie, and then said: "I think what General Liu means is very reasonable. Such a person is not worthy of trust." Fang Jie said, "Then wait until Yanyang City. If Gao Xianze is unwilling to make a clear statement, the only one left is him. " Ye Zhu " Shimmer " Wu Yiyi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't help but said: "I think there is something wrong with Liu Enjing. " Fang Jie laughed. Laughing: "I found him." Wu Daodao said: "The Lord said before that it was a performance. Yes, Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong were rescued by the Lord sent by Yan Kuang. But this news may have come from someone It was deliberately revealed to the lord, so it seemed that the two of them were brought here by the lord himself, but in fact they were sent by others? If they really lost power, why didn't they just kill them instead? Go to Chang'an to be tried? Who could judge them in Chang'an at that time? At that time, the lord had many soldiers, but lacked generals. The lord knew that the two of them were in trouble, so he must rescue them" Fang Jie's smile became brighter: " So, it seems to be getting more and more interesting.¡±
