Chapter 567

(as long as you are strong, I will be strong! Ask for a monthly ticket and fight!)

The stone wall at the west entrance of the canyon was not completely removed. Like the stone wall at the east entrance, a door was left. The team returned from the grassland like a mighty dragon. The soldiers left behind the canyon stood on the wall waving flags and cheering, and the marching soldiers waved their arms and shouted at each other. Everyone's face was full of joy.

Because they want to move to Huangyang Road, all the soldiers left behind in the canyon will also evacuate.

After the procession passed, the soldiers on the stone wall jumped on horseback under the command of the general and joined the brigade. The garrison of fangucheng reluctantly walked out of the gate. Although they were stationed in rotation, the soldiers who had lived here for several months were still reluctant. They are used to living in this small town, and they didn't sweat less when they repaired the border town.

After joining the canyon, fan Gu and the soldiers of the stronghold, the team became more magnificent. Seventy thousand cavalry entered the pass and marched forward on the official path.

Someone could be seen peeping in the distance, but the black flag army ignored it. You don't have to think about it. It's the Scouts under Jin Shixiong. They must be terrified to see such a huge cavalry team enter the pass. Fortunately, the black flag army is still fighting the fierce red flag and black flag of the great Sui Dynasty. Otherwise, I'm afraid Jin Shixiong's men and horses have already sounded the warning horn.

There are bandits and mountain bandits nearby, which have long been avoided. Lest one accidentally provoke the dragon and cause death.

Fang Xie rode a white lion and looked back. In the carriage not far behind him was the Mongolian Yuan grand master who followed him into the pass without saying a word. He rode alone in a carriage. The woman in the camp these days did not find a solution, nor did she communicate with anyone. Fang Xie arranged a military account for her, and she moved in without any excuse.

Of course, the women who are most curious about her are Fang Xie.

"Report!"

A scout came back from the front, jumped off his horse and quickly walked over to salute: "senior general, someone stopped the team in front, saying that Jin Shixiong asked to see the senior general, and waited at the seeing off booth thirty miles east of Fangu city."

Fang Xie smiled and looked back at sun Kaidao.

Sun Kaidao smiled and said, "as expected, Jin Shixiong can't sit still when he sees our strong troops coming back. It's strange if he doesn't come to see you."

"The military master will come with me."

Fang Xie smiled and said, "I'd like to hear what the general has to say to me."

"There are no more than three points. First, he must want to ask the senior general to stay and join him. Of course, Jin Shixiong knows it's impossible, but he will still say. Now he is struggling. He needs no soldiers and no food. It's estimated that the emperor has taken away all the food and grass in Jinyang city and left him little. It's difficult to stabilize the northwest by relying on the disabled soldier."

Sun Kaidao stretched out Jin Shixiong's cold smile, but there was no change on his face: "In that case, please take your seat, Mr. Sun. Although I have been military all my life, I have always admired talented people. Ha ha... General Fang is really a rare talent. He teaches himself while training. If there are more young talents like general Fang in the imperial court, why do you worry about the country's difficulties and grievances? Why can't the great Sui Dynasty prosper? Your majesty sent General Fang to guard the canyon that day. He knows people and makes good use of it. General Fang is worthy of his majesty With painstaking efforts, kings and officials know and cherish each other. It's really a beautiful talk. "

Fang Xie smiled: "Your Majesty really knows how to make good use of people, otherwise how can I have 100000 iron cavalry under my command now?"

Jin Shixiong pulled a little from the corner of his mouth and said with a laugh: "General Fang is grateful for his Majesty's kindness. He came back with a large group of people at the beginning of his military training. His loyalty can be learned. When his majesty left Jinyang City, he specifically explained that when general Fang came back, he would join forces with me to ensure peace in the northwest. His majesty also said that after general Fang came back, I must not rely on my old age and sell my old age, but respect..."

"Ha ha"

Fang Xie hugged his fist and said, "thank you for your love. Your majesty didn't leave any will when he left?"

"Er..."

Jin Shixiong pondered for a moment, but didn't answer immediately.

Sun Kaidao smiled and said, "my senior general often mentioned that he was taken care of by old general Jin in the northwest and His Majesty gave him a lot of gifts. That's why my senior general went through all kinds of hardships to pull up this team in the enemy's territory. Old general Jin doesn't know that it's difficult to pull up the team, and it's more difficult to lead the team..."

He deliberately used the big words of the general in a very heavy tone.

Sure enough, Jin Shixiong's face changed slightly.

Sun Kaidao seemed to be helpless and said: "Old general Jin also knows that although your majesty has appointed our senior general as the fourth rank general, according to the military system of the great Sui Dynasty, the senior general leads an army of 10000 people and horses. The senior general is dedicated to serving the country. As a result, he accidentally trains 100000 iron cavalry... Alas... But this team is huge, which has some disadvantages. The senior general is only the fourth rank, and his generals are no more than the fifth rank, The senior general of the fourth rank has no right to be appointed. You see, the general of the fifth rank is going to lead 10000 cavalry. They all feel that some names are not right, not to mention my senior general... Your majesty knows things like God. Should you make arrangements before you leave? "

Jin Shixiong smiled: "this... This... Your majesty didn't expect general Fang to train 100000 iron cavalry for the country... I'll write a memorial for general Fang myself later."

"Hey... How can this work?"

Fang Xie hurriedly declined and said, "it's a joke if the minister wants an official himself... I think it's better. The general told me his Majesty's itinerary. My men are cavalry. It should be too late to catch up. Your majesty will be happy to see so many cavalry. Naturally, he will make arrangements."

Jin Shixiong shook his eyebrows, smiled and said, "I think it's better... General Fang went after his majesty and the team stayed..."

Before he finished, Fang Jie interrupted, "it's just that I'm in a dilemma. I need to ask the general for help."

Jin Shixiong suppressed his unhappiness and asked, "what's the matter?"

Fang Xie said seriously: "it's hard to say. Although I have a team on the grassland, the senior general should know that the grassland is very chaotic and there are no people in thousands of miles, so my people have been training hungry and are not afraid of the jokes of the senior general..."

Fang Xie pointed to a plate of hare meat on the stone table and said: "I haven't tasted meat for a long time. I see that the senior general is in good spirit. The two soldiers behind him are also dignified. There must be plenty of food and grass in Jinyang city. Since I want to lead the army to chase your majesty, can the senior general allocate some food and grass to me? You and I work for the country, the senior general will not watch my people starve... I'm very grateful!"

He got up and saluted with a fist, but Jin Shixiong's eyes immediately flashed a few times.

Jin Shixiong opened his mouth and said with a smile: "both work for the country... This... Of course I won't refuse, just..."

Sun Kaidao also got up and hugged his fist and said, "then I'll thank old general Jin for his generosity!"

After being silent for a while, Jin Shixiong smiled and said, "it's not urgent. Come and drink first."

Fang Xie said, "the soldiers have been hungry for several months. How can they not be in a hurry? How about if the senior general nods, I immediately send someone to wait outside Jinyang City, just waiting for the grain and grass to be transported?"

Jin Shixiong's anger was already a little uncontrollable, but he still smiled and said, "after all, I have to ask your majesty for instructions. Although there is no shortage of food and grass in Jinyang City, I dare not use it without your Majesty's will. How about general Fang leaving his men and horses here and going after your Majesty's order in person?"

"Oh?"

Fang Xie looked at him with a smile and said, "then?"

Jin Shixiong didn't speak, just lowered his head and took a sip of wine.

Fang Xie said with a smile, "does the general want to misappropriate his team's grain and grass to me?"

Jin Shixiong remained silent. After a while, he raised his head and said, "general Fang, if you really work for the country, I'll give you food and grass. What's the matter? Just... How do I know you really want to work for the country? Why don't general Fang leave the team and catch up with his majesty for instructions? If your majesty says that general Fang is in charge of the northwest, I'm willing to be his deputy."

"How about this?"

Fang Xie said with a smile, "as far as I know, your Majesty's journey is blocked in Luoshui, and the rebels are rampant. Naturally, you and I can't sit idly by as human ministers. I think your majesty is humiliated by the rebels, and the great general is patriotic. Naturally, he won't pretend to ignore it. Whether your majesty has a will or not, he should do his duty as a human minister, right? How about the great general go with me to Luoping?"

Jin Shixiong tightened his hand holding the wine glass, and the green veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

With a click, the glass was overwhelmed and crushed by him.

Fang Xie glanced at the soldiers who were about to rush out of the peach forest at any time and smiled coldly: "if the senior general doesn't want to, I'll lead the soldiers to rescue him myself. Thank you for your hospitality..."

He pinched a piece of rabbit meat and threw it into his mouth: "it tastes good."
