Chapter 949

Seeing Fang Xie's face, Dugu Wenxiu felt uneasy. He once thought that Fang Xie was a very simple person for some time. It's not hard to figure out such a lord's mind. Because Fang Xie's requirements were always simple, Dugu Wenxiu thought he had found that point for a while.

But later he found that the simpler the Lord seemed, the more confusing it was.

To tell the truth, he hesitated for a long time whether to persuade Fang Xie to enter Chang'an. Now, the southwest roads have been gradually stabilized, and Yunnan Road has been won, and the strength of the black flag army has greatly increased. According to Fang Xie's previous goal, it was to stabilize the southwest, then fight a decisive battle with Yang Jian in the south of the Yangtze River, and then march into the northwest. Take half of the big Sui Dynasty first. No matter how you fight in the future, you won't be weak.

In the long run, Fang Xie's plan is very safe.

However, the current situation is like a war situation, which changes rapidly.

The previous plan may not be appropriate now. First of all, the decisive battle with Yang Jian was unexpectedly simple, and the hard work was all on Fang Xie. The most important thing is that now the war in eastern Xinjiang, Fang Xie's mind seems to be no longer in the Central Plains, so there must be a new development direction.

If Yang Jian doesn't die, Dugu Wenxiu won't talk about entering Chang'an city.

The war in eastern Xinjiang is in full swing, and the advantages of foreigners are becoming more and more obvious. Now most of the zhuqiang are watching. Secretly, those who haven't made efforts are waiting to see what others do. Like Fang Xie, there are not a few people who put foreign enemies in the first place, but there are not a few people waiting for the opportunity to be big.

If the Fang solution divides its troops to eastern Xinjiang, the control of the black flag army will be greatly reduced. At this time, we need the most influential thing to make others die. Nothing is better than winning Chang'an. Whether the great Sui Dynasty still exists or not, Chang'an city will not change. No matter which power or ordinary people, we all know that whoever owns Chang'an City has won the majority of the people.

Orthodoxy is the most mysterious word, but sometimes it works best.

Seeing Fang Xie didn't speak, Dugu Wenxiu simply stopped probing: "With the war in eastern Xinjiang, it's urgent to divide troops to the East. However, I'm sorry to say that... Even if the Lord divides troops to eastern Xinjiang, there is little chance that he will stop foreign enemies overseas. Foreigners have been operating secretly in eastern Xinjiang for a long time, and a hole in Muping city can't be blocked at all. Even if Mufu resists and others rush to help, foreigners already have a second way to go."

"After landing in Muping City, Mu Guangling had to divide troops no matter whether the foreigners went straight to the Shanhaiguan Pass or attacked the back of the Mu family. The foreigners had powerful artillery, which was even more frightening than when the Sui army was at its peak. To solve the danger of eastern Xinjiang, we need not only all the military strength of the black flag army, but also the joint efforts of the great powers of the Central Plains to win the war, but also Lord... Can the black flag army go to eastern Xinjiang? "

"No"

Dugu Wenxiu continued without waiting for a solution: "The roads in the southwest are the place where the Lord finally established his foundation. He must leave heavy troops to garrison. Once the whole army of the black flag army goes to the East, the land of the foundation will be lost! Therefore, the Lord is worried about the East, but he should focus on the Central Plains. After taking Chang'an City, the Lord can issue orders in the name of the imperial court and call on people all over the world to resist foreign enemies. No matter how many people will listen, it is justifiable 。”

"Outside Chang'an City, there are rebels from Gao Kaitai, whose strength is far inferior to that of the Lord. When he goes north, Gao Kaitai will retreat. If he retreats, he dare not retreat to the East, but can only retreat to the northwest. His subordinates are worried that the state affairs of Mongolia and yuan have been stable. With Kuo Ketai mengge's mind, he can bear to watch the central plains become more and more chaotic? Once Mongolia and Yuan send troops to the Central Plains, the northwest will bear the brunt , push Gao Kaitai back to the southwest. In the future, if Mongolia and Yuan invade, the first wall will be cast by Gao Kaitai. "

"If the LORD takes Chang'an City and stabilizes the city defense, even if foreigners fight all the way, Chang'an city is safer in the Lord's hand than in anyone's hand!"

Dugu Wenxiu said so much in one breath, then took a deep breath and advised: "My Lord, my subordinates don't object to dividing troops into the East. Nalan dingdong is also the most suitable candidate. But the rear defense is the top priority. My Lord's sitting in Chang'an is good for both the war situation in the East and the foundation of the black flag army in the southwest. There are at least 5000 armored troops in Chang'an City, which is the best knife in the battle array. In addition, the long princess is still..."

Before he finished, Fang Xie waved his hand to stop: "I'll think about entering Chang'an city. Now I'll do what's right now. I'll go to the Sui army camp in person early tomorrow morning."

With these words, Fang Xie got up and left.

Everyone stood up and saluted with fists. After Fang Xie left, they all looked at Dugu Wenxiu.

"In fact, the Lord didn't agree to your proposal for the time being. It's not that the Lord doesn't want to fight Chang'an City, but that it's too difficult to fight Chang'an city."

Wu Yi sighed: "how can Gao Kaitai easily retreat to the northwest? Even if he retreats to the northwest, will a man who has rebelled once really try his best to resist the invasion of the Mongolian Yuan? The Lord wants to take the northwest first. In fact, he is worried that once the Mongolian Yuan moves eastward, there will be foreigners invading the eastern Xinjiang and the Central Plains will be attacked..."

Dugu Wenxiu shook his head: "how can I not understand this? But now the soldiers are looking at the Lord. They are waiting for the Lord to point out the direction more clearly. When we go to Dongjiang, we understand that the soldiers may not understand."

Cui Zhongzhen shook his head and said, "it's right that you think comprehensively, but sometimes you are confused if you think too much... If you ask the soldiers whether they are willing to kill their own people or fight with foreign enemies on the battlefield, I'm afraid the answer can't be clearer."

"But..."

Cui Zhongzhen said, "I also think it's best to hit Chang'an City first."

……

……

"Too much trouble?"

Xiang qingniu handed Fang Xie the wine pot, and then stuffed a piece of marinated meat into his mouth. Two people are on the roof of a dilapidated family, drinking and eating meat. Wine is aged in the south of the Yangtze River, and meat is the sign of a century old shop. It is fragrant and soft in the mouth.

"I was just wondering what it would have been like if I had chosen another way."

Fang Xie took a sip of wine and looked West involuntarily: "If I didn't choose the current way, but took my beloved woman to find a good place, would it be much faster. I couldn't do it before because there were too many unpredictable things. Now, I can do it. King lunming is dead, Luo Yao is dead and Yang Jian is dead. I don't have to worry about being chased..."

"But..."

Xiang qingniu smiled: "when you find that you can achieve your previous extravagant expectations, you find that it is too late. The pressure in the past is that you don't know the right to die. Now the pressure is that you carry the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of people on your shoulders. If a person is just a grain of sand, you already carry a mountain on your shoulders."

"Ask you something."

After being silent for a while, Xiang qingniu asked, "have you ever thought of being an emperor?"

Fang Xie glanced at him, then nodded: "thought about it."

"And then?"

Xiang qingniu asked again.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xie replied, "in the past, you may not understand what I said before, and it's hard for me to explain... In the past, I didn't have so much understanding of the word emperor. I just thought that the highest achievement of a man was the word emperor. A man once imagined what it was like to be an emperor."

"I never thought about it."

Xiang qingniu shook his head: "I really didn't think about it, so I wouldn't worry about flying like you. All I wanted to do was to find my second senior brother. Later, I thought I couldn't let my master die in peace. Later, I wanted to help you calm the world, and then I trained an apprentice to explain the Qi view of qingleshan. Later, Mr. Zhuo went to qingleshan. I didn't know about qingleshan Worry. "

"Do you know what Tao heart is?"

Xiang qingniu asked.

Fang Xie shook his head.

"It's just the word clarity."

Xiang qingniu said, "it's just because you don't know your original heart. The so-called original heart is simply what you want. The so-called Tao heart is to understand what you want. The eldest martial brother wants too much, so his Tao heart doesn't understand. The second martial brother is simple, but he's not clear. As for the third martial brother, his heart is more noisy."

"Master said I have the best qualification. In fact, what he said is that my heart is the simplest."

Xiang qingniu said: "only simple and clear, will there be less worry."

He looked at Fang Xie and said, "if you really don't have a good choice, you need to ask yourself what you really want, and you must not deceive yourself into giving a false answer. If you want too much, weigh the comparison and clarify the one you want most. In fact, the following things are not difficult."

"The truth seems very shallow, but it's actually very deep."

Fang Xie smiled: "it's not easy for fat people to reason."

"If it weren't for your food and drink, Taoist priest, I wouldn't bother to tell you this."

Xiang qingniu wiped the oil on the corners of his mouth: "in fact, I thought about it for you. Your problem is not difficult to solve. You don't know what you want most, but I know. In fact, it's very simple, but you think it's too complex, so you didn't find the most direct way."

"What is it?"

Fang Xie asked.

Xiang qingniu said seriously, "what do you think most? You don't necessarily know, but I seem to watch more clearly... It's so simple that you want this world to become your ideal world. This answer includes all the wants in your heart. Whether it's for your own self-interest or the public interest of the world, this answer is enough."

"Well, this is what you want most. How can you do it?"

He asked, but did not need a solution to answer: "Just one thing is enough. It's still simple and direct... Be the one who points to the East and everyone runs east. You point to the West and everyone turns around immediately. Only you are the most powerful person in the world can you solve everything. Let everyone obey your will, then... There's nothing complicated. You just need to point to one direction."

"Be the boss of the world."

Xiang qingniu smiled: "when the biggest boss, what you want to achieve is much simpler than what you do now."

"Do whatever you want to be the boss?"

Fang Xie was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "what a special idea of a rogue bachelor... However, it seems to be very reasonable."

"I'm a Taoist priest!"

Xiang qingniu pointed to his nose: "I don't make sense, so others fart."

"Why don't you want to be an emperor?"

Fang Xie asked qingniu.

"Being an emperor... I have to turn over the sign and choose a woman to sleep with every night. I have a headache when I think of it... I don't want to be left out of so many beautiful women, and I can't sleep with them all... What a difficult choice. I'm willing to share rain and dew, but I can't do it, so I'd better ask for only one wife in the future, so I don't have to choose 。”

Fang Xie looked at Xiang qingniu like a monster: "I bet you've ever refined Zhuang Yang medicine."

"Fart!"

Xiang qingnewton was excited: "I'm not so dirty! I just... Read relevant books in my spare time..."

He asked Fang Xie, "if you really have such medicine to make you strong forever, won't you be moved?"

Fang Xie shook his head: "is there any taste?"

Xiang qingniu was stunned and sighed: "I think so much..."
