Quoketai Menglie looked at the young man in black robe who came by alone, but he was actually very nervous. He already knew everything about yesterday, and with his capacity, he knew a lot about the Buddhist sect. Of course, he knew that the Buddhist sect had the indestructible body of a vajra. It is not unacceptable for practitioners around to have such strength. What's more, the other party understands that he is not ignorant.
He actually disliked such great practitioners joining the war, and the war would lose its original fairness. Perhaps Fang Xie would be very happy if he knew that Kuoketai Menglie had included himself in the ranks of great practitioners.
Just like now, he felt uneasy but had to face this Han man.
Of course, he knew that this Han man would not do anything to him, because he guessed why the other party suddenly wanted to talk to him. When the same interests exist between the enemy and the enemy, then the war sometimes ends suddenly.
"My name is Fang Jie."
Walking not far from Kuoketai Menglie, Fang Jie clasped his fists together: "The leader of the Black Banner Army guarding the Langrushan Canyon has seen Secret Service."
Quoketai Menglie bowed slightly on his horseback to return the salute, then got off his horse and asked, "I don't know what you want to say when General Fang sees me?"
Fang Jie said: "Since Secret Service has met me, it means that Special Service has almost guessed my intentions. Then I will be more straightforward. I will lead the troops out of the canyon to make way, and Special Service can return to the grassland with its own troops. I will also take People leave here, as for the reason, I don't want to say."
Although Kuoketai Menglie expected that the content of the negotiation was almost the same, he still couldn't help being a little surprised: "You have led troops to stop me in the canyon for ten days, and you suddenly said that you want to get out of the way. If there is no one Reasonable explanation, I can't believe your sincerity. If you lead an army to attack my rear after my troops enter the canyon, it will be difficult for me to come back, so... "
"Believe it or not."
Fang Jie said: "I have hoarded food and grass in the canyon to support the troops for at least three months, and the food and grass in your hand, Teqin, may not be enough for even three days, right? So, I am not afraid of procrastinating for a little longer."
Kuoktai Menglie was silent, then walked a few steps to the side and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please. Fang Jie followed, but Meng Lie's personal soldiers wanted to follow but were stopped by Meng Lie. Now that the topic has come to Meng Lie, there is no need to worry that Fang Jie will kill him. If Fang Jie kills him, then the two sides will never end.
"Besides that, do you have anything else to say?"
After leaving the team for dozens of steps, Quoketai Menglie asked Fang Jie.
Fang Jie looked at the endless Langru Mountain and said: "When I led the army to station here, what I thought in my heart was that even if the whole army died in battle, I would block the special service in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty. But now I have changed my mind. Yes, I said it, and I don’t want to say the reason. However, I still have one condition.”
"What?"
Quoketai Menglie asked.
"I want to know what kind of agreement the emperor reached with you, Meng Yuan Khan. I want to know why the Secret Service did not hesitate to kill Luo Yao at the cost of all the practitioners accompanying the army. What is Luo Yao's identity? What is it? Why do people from the Buddhist sect want to kill him, and you want to kill him too."
Quoketai Menglie was silent for a while and said: "I can tell you, but I want to exchange."
"In exchange for what?"
"I want to know, what is your relationship with Luo Yao?"
Fang Jie said, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?"
Quoketai Menglie nodded after thinking for a while: "This sentence convinces me more than any story you made up. I know that Luo Yao treats you very well. You should have figured it out. Since I want to kill Luo Yao, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I was watching his every move before. And you came into my sight more than a year ago, and I know how tolerant he is to you in Luo Yaojun."
"I also know that your physique is very similar to Luo Yao. But you didn't have any contact with Luo Yao a year ago, and there is no information to tell me that you have a close relationship with Luo Yao, so I guessed one thing, Hope you can confirm."
Fang Jie frowned: "After confirmation."
Kuoketai Menglie said seriously: "If you give me the answer to confirm my guess, then today's negotiation may be meaningless. Even if you are indestructible, I will use 200,000 wolf riders to fight you to death .”
"It doesn't take that much, and you don't have the chance."
Fang Jie said: "If I want to leave, so what if you have 200,000 troops?"
Quoketai Menglie's face changed: "Are you confirming my guess?"
Fang Jie shook his head: "As I said just now, I don't know anything myself, so how can I give you a clear answer. But because of your words, I got the answer... If my guess is right, sir Why the Emperor of Sui teamed up with Meng Yuan, why the Buddhist sect killed Luo Yao, and why the Meng Yuan royal court killed Luo Yao can all be explained."
Kuoketai Menglie was silent for a long time, and sighed heavily: "Luo Yao is a lunatic."
Fang Jie nodded: "Thank you."
Quoketai Menglie was startled: "Thank you?"
Fang Jie said: "This sentence Luo Yao is a lunatic, you have already told me that my guess is correct. I just don't understand why he would give up his once high status and such great rights."
"Because he's crazy..."
Quoketai Menglie repeated it, his tone full of grief and indignation.
"So be it."
Fang Jie suddenly said: "You retreat the army for thirty miles, and I will take my men out of the canyon."
Kuoketai Menglie looked at Fang Jie, and carefully sized up the young man: "I don't know... I have missed some opportunities. Letting you go may not be a good thing for Meng Yuan."
"I let you go."
Fang Jie corrected seriously: "You have to accept it, or keep fighting."
Quoketai Menglie's expression kept changing, he hesitated for a while and asked, "Where are you going?"
"If you don't go to Mengyuan, you can rest assured."
Fang Jie smiled, turned and left: "After noon, I hope to see that your troops have already retreated. If you plan to kill me suddenly while I lead the army out of the canyon, I can tell you responsibly, Even if you can win this battle, you will lose at least half of your troops, and in the west of the canyon, there are at least 300,000 herdsmen gathered, including those from the Fozong...you decide for yourself."
Quoketai Menglie didn't speak any more, just watched Fang Xie leave.
He thought in his heart, if this person was really Luo Yao's chosen successor, what would be the consequences of watching him leave like this? After a long time, he put this worry behind him, because he has more important things to worry about now. Obviously, Luo Yao is not yet in a hurry to find a successor, but Wang Ting is already in such a hurry that he may be defeated at any time.
Compared with future crises, the current crisis facing the Golden Family is even more worrying. If this war fails, the Golden Family will disappear in smoke.
"Let the army retreat thirty miles!"
Quoketai Menglie suddenly turned around and shouted.
When he looked at the young man again, the tall and straight figure had disappeared from sight.
…
…
What happened next went very smoothly. The Mengyuan people didn't take advantage of Fang Jie's troops out of the canyon to besiege them, but sent some scouts to watch them withdraw from the canyon. When the soldiers of the Black Banner Army came out of the canyon, everyone's expression was not good. Not because they were uncomfortable with the hasty end of the war, but because of something else.
They all knew that the emperor planned to drag Kuoketai Menglie to death with 50,000 people from the Black Banner Army, and Fang Xie did not hide it. How could the soldiers who were full of respect for the emperor and love for Sui accept it easily? They fought decisively for this empire, for those who died and the people who were once bullied, but now they are abandoned.
Each of them is very sad and at a loss, not knowing which direction they are going to go next.
The morale of the team was very low, but fortunately there were no deserters.
The generals of each battalion and army knew that nothing could go wrong at this time, so their nerves were extremely tense. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the team drove out for dozens of miles. Fang Jie asked Chen Qianshan to stick to Fan Gu, and then led the team back to Langrushan Village.
Sun Kaidao, who had been notified in advance, led people to greet him at the foot of the mountain. Seeing the soldiers walking with their heads down, he felt uncomfortable. Perhaps because of the different positions, he hadn't guessed that the emperor would do this in advance. He thought that he could use this war to enter the emperor's sight, and then join the imperial court. But now, as Fang Jie withdrew his troops from the canyon, his dream was instantly shattered.
But he was just a little depressed, but not sad.
Because from the very beginning, he was sure that the country would be in chaos.
While waiting for Fang Jie at the foot of the mountain, Sun Kaidao thought about many things. Then he actually laughed, making people wonder why he still had the heart to laugh at this time.
After the soldiers returned to the stronghold, they went back to rest. Fang Jie didn't call them to say anything. Sun Kaidao and others greeted Fang Jie and returned to the residence. All the officers above rank five gathered outside Fang Jie's study, waiting for the general to make a decision. They all know that the direction Fang Xie chooses next will affect their entire lives.
Everyone has their own calculations in their hearts.
If they were really abandoned by the emperor, they might be declared rebellious by the court if they returned to the Central Plains. How could a group of warriors who had fought for the empire for several years suddenly fall into this situation? If General Fang hadn't found out about this, then they might all be corpses in the canyon, stinking and rotting and turning into dry bones.
Fang Jie sat in the room, staring at the faces of the generals outside in a daze.
He also knew that what he was going to say next would determine the fate of this team, and if he was not careful, the strength he had gathered so hard would be wiped out.
Are you willing
Fang Jie asked himself, would he accept it willingly
In fact, the emperor didn't take this into account. The emperor firmly believed that even if these soldiers of the Sui Dynasty found out the truth that they had become abandoned sons, they would not dare to become rebellious. Because they all have family members, young and old, their every move involves thousands of families, not themselves.
Everyone outside was watching him, waiting for his decision.
…
…
Wanyan Yunshu sat by the stream and stared in a daze. She held a branch in her hand and gently tapped the surface of the water. Her eyes were a little confused and uneasy.
Wanyan Chongde walked to her side slowly, and sat down next to her: "Have you made up your mind?"
he asks.
Wanyan Yunshu turned his head and glanced at him, then turned his gaze back to the surface of the water again, a fish the size of a thumb was frightened by her branch and swam away.
"Since this team of Han people has been abandoned by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, there is no point in us staying any longer. The reason why I have not left with my troops is because Fang Xie is a friend, but if it is not because of Fang Xie There is hope to help the people of Northern Liao to merge into the Great Sui Dynasty, how can I bring thousands of cold horses to my life? I know you like him very much, but his identity has changed now. He withdrew from the canyon At that time, he was no longer a general of the Sui Dynasty, and the emperor of the Sui Dynasty would not tolerate such a thing to happen, and his fate would be to wander the world or be killed."
"We have been working hard for so long to let the people of the Northern Liao land settle in a warm place and move out of that harsh environment, but now this warm Sui Dynasty is already in shambles, I think when I go back , I should admit my mistake to Father Khan. Even if we want to enter the Central Plains, we have to wait until the Sui Dynasty settles down."
"No."
Wanyan Yun suddenly raised his head, and threw the branch in his hand into the creek.
"Brother, you have always been doing things for the tribe. You helped Fang Jie for the sake of the tribe, and you stayed for the sake of the tribe. Now you plan to leave, also for the sake of the tribe, but I am not!"
She stood up and clenched her fists: "I'm for myself... I'm not staying for the tribe, just for myself!"
Wanyan Chongde was stunned and did not speak for a long time.
"Okay...follow him...if it's hard, go home."
He stood up and hugged Yan Yunshu: "You are always my most beloved sister!"
