In fact, the conversation between the two of them didn't last long, but they just entered a very special state. The thinking of both of them is very sensitive, especially Xiang Qingniu, who is an outsider, has greatly helped the other party to understand after expressing his views. However, after discussing for a long time, the two of them did not come up with a specific answer. They can only temporarily confirm that Fan Gucheng is definitely a place that must be returned.
Fang Jie stretched his body vigorously, and glanced at the soldiers who were practicing in the distance.
"The most important thing now is to fight the battle right now, and I can leave my own affairs to pursue the truth later."
Xiang Qingniu persuaded: "Actually, there is no need for you to pursue the truth. Whether the truth is for you or for other purposes, it doesn't matter now. Maybe you didn't follow their arrangement, or maybe you kept going. On the way they arranged, but it has no effect on you now. Those who have the ability to arrange all this have died, I don't believe that there are really gods in this world."
"Where's Daozu?"
Fang Jie joked.
"Daozu?"
Xiang Qingniu smiled: "The Dao ancestor is just a spiritual sustenance. In fact, sometimes I always wonder why people have to have faith and spiritual sustenance. Isn't it the most correct to believe in your own happy life? A living coolie believes in his own hands and feet, and a cultivator believes in his own hard work, all of these are much more important than believing in an ethereal person who has been dead for an unknown number of years."
"You seem to have fallen into a pit of reasoning today."
Fang Jie said with a smile, "It looks very philosophical."
Xiang Qingniu laughed loudly: "Actually, I have always been able to say that, and you also know that the basic skill of our business is to fool people. On the grassland, King Dalun Ming made all the herdsmen believe in him, is it because he can fool people? After all People are just empty and lonely, and they always think that they can get everything if they believe in some god, but in fact it's all fucking nonsense."
Fang Jie laughed.
Xiang Qingniu continued: "I'm ashamed to use other people's sects to talk about things, I only talk about the Dao Sect in the Central Plains. Over the years, all the sects related to the Dao Sect have believed in the Taoist ancestor, but the Taoist ancestor may not have died before his death. Thinking that I will become a puppet. It is said... Daozu said that this book was not left by Daozu at all, but something compiled by some people later."
Fang Jie said: "I can't say anything else, but you have a great word for emptiness and loneliness."
Xiang Qingniu smiled dejectedly, and suddenly thought that there was something wrong with what Fang explained just now.
"This battle? Just now you said to finish this battle first? Haven't you already reached an agreement with that man named Xiulunsi? Do you still want to fight?"
Fang Jie shook his head and smiled, "It seems that you still don't understand me."
Xiang Qingniu froze for a moment, then understood.
"You are such a vicious fellow."
He said.
Fang Jie did not deny such an evaluation, nor did he explain it.
Xiang Qingniu then patted Fang Jie's shoulder vigorously: "I like your strength."
That face is flirtatious.
Fang Jie stepped aside immediately: "Go away."
Xiang Qingniu's chest trembled with a smile, and he said as he walked back: "Although I don't know what you are worried about, I know that those foreign men will definitely get nothing from you. I will deal with military matters. I don’t understand, and I don’t speak well of national interests, so what I can do to help you is to kill a few more enemies. If there is anything wrong, just tell me.”
"good."
Fang Jie nodded: "It's not yet time, just wait."
…
…
The three days were the most torturous for Hurons. He was not disturbed in Fang Jie's camp. Every day, someone delivered the food on time. After fifteen minutes, no matter whether he had finished eating or not, The person delivering the meal will show up again to collect the cutlery.
He tried to talk to these people, but no one paid him any attention.
No one even restricts his freedom, he can walk around in the Black Banner Army camp at will. He was like a preoccupied tourist, absent-mindedly watching how the soldiers of the Black Banner Army practiced. As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, Schulence can see that this team is different.
The soldiers of the Black Banner Army had an aura that was different from any army he had ever seen.
He didn't know how to describe this temperament.
On the third day, Kirkbo returned just before dark.
This made Hurons a little moved.
"I thought you would run back to Lyman directly. As long as you use the reason that I, Schulence, tried to rebel, and Lyman wanted to kill you, it wouldn't be easy to make excuses. After all, you came alone. You can’t change anything. If Lehman forcibly gets rid of you like this, it will immediately cause a strong backlash. Now he is worried that the domestic situation will be difficult to control, so he dare not act recklessly.”
Xiulunsi looked at Kirkbo and said seriously.
"I didn't come back because of any friendship with you."
When Kirk Bobby first arrived at the Black Banner Army camp, he had already relaxed a lot, as if he had really withdrawn from his affairs. But Hullens knew why Ke Kebo came back, because Ke Kebo was already ready to die. He was different from himself, Schulence knew that even if he was ready to die, Leman would not let his family go. Kirkbo is different. As long as he dies, his family will not suffer much damage.
"I want to ask you something."
Ke Kebo looked at Xiulunsi and asked: "I found your subordinate after I went back. He is indeed loyal to you. For your safety, he immediately ordered 150,000 people to hand over their weapons and equipment. Do this It took three full days to do this, and if there are no accidents, these weapons will be delivered tomorrow morning in exchange for your freedom."
Kirkbo said: "But have you ever thought about it, once the weapons and equipment of these 150,000 people are handed over, can you really get out alive?"
"Has Mox lost?"
Sullens suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic just now.
"Defeated."
Kirkbo replied: "He didn't expect your army to attack him suddenly, so his army dispersed in just one night. Although I didn't get the news that Mox was dead when I came, there was no news of his death." There is no doubt that the hyacinth is no more."
"Then I may not live long."
Xiulunsi sighed a long time: "I thought you understood what I mean."
"What's the meaning?"
Kirkbo asked back.
He suddenly understood, and immediately turned pale: "My God! You mean that you don't want to attack Mox at all, but join hands with Mox?"
Schulence smiled wryly: "It's only now that you realize that it doesn't make any sense anymore. I thought you would figure it out after you go back, and then send someone to join forces with Mox to show Fang Xie. The current situation is that only you and Mox Kesi teamed up to find that small chance of winning, but unfortunately... now it's gone."
"Why don't you just..."
Kirkbo swallowed half of what he said, because he knew that Schulens would not have the opportunity to speak his mind directly. Even now, there must be someone monitoring this tent.
"I just wanted to make sure."
Hurons didn't even feel sad anymore, he stretched his waist, and the sadness on his expression wasn't even that strong: "I made a mistake. Fang Jie's request was too much, but the most excessive thing was the one who looked like him Casually said the additional conditions. He thought from the beginning that my army would destroy Mox, but he just said it at the end, and said it in an understatement tone. I didn't think much about it at the time What."
"Now, there is no way out."
Schulence let out a long breath: "Get ready, my old buddy. I will never believe that Fang Jie will let me go easily. I just don't know what kind of occasion I will die."
"You shouldn't have come back."
Schulens pointed out another mistake Kirkbo made.
"I told you to find Yanudang, he is my most loyal subordinate. What this sentence actually means is that you can trust Yanudang and help him analyze the situation. If you stay in the team, at least Yanudang had an experienced wise man to help him with counsel."
Kirkbo shook his head: "It's too late, isn't it."
…
…
On the morning of the fourth day, when the sun just emerged from the eastern horizon, Yanudang, who is now the supreme commander of the Black Morning Glory Army, led a team of 5,000 people and escorted 150,000 people The equipment arrived less than fifteen miles away from the Black Banner Army camp.
He is a little nervous.
There was something he kept from Kirkbo.
But now, it seems to have encountered some obstacles.
The Black Banner Army came with a cavalry force, about ten thousand men. The general of the cavalry ordered them to stop and wait for Fang Xie, the leader of the Black Banner Army, to arrive. So Yanudang became more and more nervous, after all, this was the most daring decision he had ever made in his life.
He knew that there must be a reason why Grand Duke Hurons chose him, and this reason was that he knew to make the right choice at this moment. And in order to succeed, this choice cannot be told to anyone, including Kirkbo.
Zhuge Wuji sat on his horseback and looked at those foreign soldiers, the smile on the corner of his mouth made the foreigners on the opposite side uneasy.
"We have already achieved this step. We have sent weapons in exchange for our Lord Duke according to your request."
Yanudang adjusted his mentality and walked over: "But why did you stop me?"
"Because the place where the weapons are received is not in the camp."
Zhuge Wuji pointed to the land under his feet: "This is it."
Yanudang's face changed suddenly, and it could be seen that his mood had a very excited change.
"If I didn't guess wrong."
Zhuge Wuji said with a smile: "You are not here to give your weapons in full accordance with the agreement. My lord said that no army will give up the last chance to win, no matter if it is Han or foreign. It must not be just some weapons, I'm afraid there is a lot of gunpowder. You plan to detonate these gunpowder in my Black Banner Army camp, and then you take advantage of the chaos to rescue Xiulunsi, right? Even if you can't rescue Xiulunsi, you will It can disrupt our plan. If there is no accident, the army under Xiulunsi is ready to go, right?"
Yanudang's face turned pale.
He couldn't even argue.
Because what Zhuge Wuji said was right.
"Do you know why I was not in a hurry to inspect the weapons you brought, or to have you unload them?"
Zhuge Wuyin said: "Because it's not important at all."
He pointed behind Yanudang.
Yanu looked back consciously, and then saw the firelight over the Black Morning Glory Camp.
"Our practitioners have already attacked, and they will hunt and kill the generals of your army without any scruples. If there is no accident, you must have brought all the god-slaying musketeers in your team of 5,000 people, because you plan to rescue Xiu. Lance. Without these god-slaying musketeers, what do our practitioners have to worry about?"
Zhuge Wuji said with a smile: "Right now, Schulence and Ke Kebo are in the Black Banner Army camp, and you are here as the temporary commander. Your camp is actually in a state of losing command. , it is easy to collapse. Especially, when many mid-level and lower-level commanders die, the team will be more completely chaotic. There is no negotiation from the beginning."
He said loudly: "My lord said that the enemy who set foot on the land of the Han people can't even leave the corpse."
Yanu's face was pale, and he stood there like a stone statue, at a loss.
