Since ancient times, there seems to have never been such a thing on the battlefield. One side led troops to attack the capital of the other side, and then the besieged side sent a man to make an appointment with the enemy's coach, and the appointment was on the roof of the capital's palace. It was already regarded as the word "absurd", but the enemy's coach actually agreed, so it is not the word "absurd" but the word "unbelievable".
Fang Jie personally sent the great monk and Zhu Chi out of the camp. The great monk said that he had to go back and write the suicide note first. Fang Jie smiled and said, don’t worry, your disciples and grandchildren will not read the suicide note after you wrote it. I will be happy to break the ban on eating meat. The great monk mistakenly said that you guessed wrong, they will go to drink flower wine.
Fang Jie laughed out loud, and the great monk mistakenly gave him a salute and then floated away. The two chatted and laughed happily. How could they look like opponents who were about to fight to the death
"My lord."
Zhu Chijian waited for the monk to leave first, then smiled and said: "Since I have the opportunity to be alone now, I have to say something... What is the reason why the Black Banner Army attacked Nanyan? In fact, it doesn't matter. Said It’s a bit ugly, but I don’t really care about Murong Shame’s life or death. The whole Nanyan women and children know how he came to the throne at the beginning, and the reason why everyone doesn’t object to it is naturally understood by the wisdom of the Duke.”
He glanced at Fang Jie and said, "I've made my words so clear, I just want the Duke's attitude."
Fang Jie said as he walked, "The Prime Minister should also know what kind of attitude I gave Ning Hao in Jin'an City."
After pondering for a while, Zhu Chijian said: "It's just this attitude... it's not enough."
Fang Jie said, "You seem to have forgotten one thing."
Zhu Chijian didn't understand Fang Jie's meaning: "What's the matter?"
Fang Jie said calmly: "The reason why I sent someone to contact the Prime Minister in private is not because I can't take down Dali City, but because I don't want to lose too many people. How many of those soldiers and horses in Dali City are loyal to Murong shame?" Geng Geng must be clearer than me, you know how many officials in the Nanyan court are willing to live and die with Murong shame, even if I don't send someone to find you, do you know how many people come to me?"
Fang Jie beckoned, and then Xiaoqi School came over, holding a tray in his hand, and there were at least dozens of letters piled up on the tray.
"This is a handwritten letter that the Nanyan masters in the city sent their masters to secretly dug out from the city and sent it here after my army stationed in the north of Dali. If you want to read it, I will give it to you. You and these People are also familiar, and you can see clearly whether their handwriting is real or fake."
Zhu Chijian's face changed, and seeing the letter in the tray, a storm arose in his heart. He knew that few courtiers in the city were willing to accompany Murong Shame to die, but he did not expect that so many people could not wait to express their views.
Fang Jie glanced at Zhu Chijian's face, and said with a smile as he walked: "So, this is something you forgot, Mr. Prime Minister. I sent someone to contact you not to ask for your needs, but just to find a broken bank with the least loss. The city method. Whether you agree or not, the city will be destroyed. Although I sent someone to find you first, the initiative has never been in your hands. So... You just said that my attitude is not enough for you, It sounds like a joke to me."
Zhu Chijian's expression kept changing, and he realized at this moment that he really didn't have any bargaining chips in his hand. This is not a negotiation at all, but a choice to take or not to take.
Fang Jie didn't seem to be in a hurry to listen to him, but just walked forward slowly.
The two came out of the camp and walked all the way to Dali City. Before they knew it, they had already walked more than a mile. Zhu Chijian's expression was ugly, obviously he was calculating in his mind how to get the most benefit.
"I hope... the Duke can be more tolerant."
After a while, Zhu Chijian sighed and said, his tone of speech has also changed, it is no longer equal to each other before, but with a hint of request: "I know that the army of the Duke is very powerful, Since going south, I have never lost a hundred battles. But as the Duke said, it is good to have less losses. I still have some reputation in Dali City, and this reputation is at least worth ten thousand horses."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "If you hadn't had the influence of King Ming, who is equivalent to ten thousand horses, how would I have sent someone to find you? Do you know why I agreed to the great monk, to fight a decisive battle in the palace of Dali City the day after tomorrow? "
Zhu Chijian was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."
"because… "
Fang Jie laughed so confidently and brightly: "I just want those people in the city who think that Dali City can be defended to know that it is not difficult for me to get in. Even if I go in, you can't do anything to me. If you don't believe me You can watch, the day after tomorrow I step into the Nanyan Palace and fight with the Great Monk Miji, who can stop me?"
Zhu Chijian didn't know what to say, and didn't have a clue in his mind.
"I buried Zhu Chengtian generously because I know that although your Zhu family has great influence in Nanyan, you have always acted with benevolence and righteousness, and you are not harsh on the people under your rule. You should know that since I led the army to the south, I have killed all What kind of people, this is already an attitude.”
Fang Jie said, "I didn't give you a chance to bargain, so you don't have a chance to bargain."
…
…
Dugu Wenxiu stood in front of Fang Jie with a resolute expression on his face: "Subordinates absolutely cannot watch the lord go to Dali City. Even if the lord is strong, how can the commander of the three armies easily step into a dangerous place? No matter how weak Nan Yan is, Murong Shame will not He is popular, he is the king of a country after all. How can it be possible that the king of a country does not have some powerful people in the world?"
After sending Zhu Chijian away, Dugu Wenxiu blocked Fang Jie.
Fang Jie smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this, I am sure to enter the city and I am sure to leave the city. Moreover, I have a chance to kill Murong shame when I enter the city. If I kill Murong shame, how many soldiers will be spared from dying in battle?"
Dugu Wenxiu still did not retreat one step: "Even if the lord has made a decision in his heart, his subordinates still cannot agree. Not only one of his subordinates, but none of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Black Banner Army will agree. Murong Shame The calculations are nothing but whimsy, how can the lord give him such an opportunity? Now that a hundred thousand troops are besieging the city, even if the lord does not enter the city, it will take ten days or a month to break the law, so why take risks?"
His face was determined, and it seemed that he would never let go.
Fang Jie had no choice but to pull him aside and said something in a low voice. Dugu Wenxiu's expression changed after hearing this, but she quickly shook her head again: "Although this matter was beyond my expectations, my subordinates Still dare not let this step go. The lord is the commander of the three armies. There are 100,000 soldiers in front of the Black Banner Army, and there are 100,000 soldiers in the Zhuqueshan camp. The life and death of 200,000 people are in the lord's hands. Then what's the use of raising people below?"
"There is a saying that you must have never heard."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, if it catches mice, it's the best cat... Since there is a chance to win this matter, there is no need to kill more soldiers. I know you are right, since I am The head coach of the Black Banner Army can't easily put himself in danger, that's irresponsible to the 200,000 soldiers. But you should also understand that sometimes such choices are made precisely because of the responsibility to the 200,000 soldiers."
"My lord!"
Dugu Wenxiu wanted to say more, but Fang Jie waved his hand: "Since I've already told you, you shouldn't have to worry. Just go there, can't I go back?"
He didn't let Dugu Wenxiu continue talking, patted Dugu Wenxiu on the shoulder and said: "I will hand over the affairs of the following cities to Wei Xiting. I guess it will take some days to straighten everything out. And Wei Xiting is very popular." Your character is not stable enough, and your vision is not as good as yours, so after Nanyan's demise, you still need to sort out the local affairs, so you should go back first, and think about how to continue the following things after the destruction of Dali City."
Dugu Wenxiu was taken aback for a moment: "My lord, are you going to return after Dali is broken?"
Fang Jie nodded: "After taking Dali, there are still more than a dozen big cities left, but there is nothing to worry about. Zhu Chijian's attitude has already explained the problem. There is no need to worry about distrust and disunity. As long as Dali is broken, there is no need for me to stay. Didn’t you just say that I am the commander of the three armies, and I can’t do everything myself.”
Fang Jie looked around and said in a low voice: "As long as Dali City is destroyed, I will take the 100,000 Black Banner Army soldiers back to the north, and it is time to take the three roads of Yongbei Road, Nanhui Road, and Beihui Road. After the reinforcements arrive, I will use you as the marching commander, Chen Qianshan as the commander, and Zhuge Wuyin as the deputy commander, and the three of you will take care of things and lead the troops to continue to eliminate the remaining forces of Nanyan."
He smiled and said, "I'll leave the mess to you to clean up, and I'm going to hide myself."
Dugu Wenxiu pondered for a while and said, "There are about ten days before the arrival of the reinforcements. When will the lord return?"
Fang Jie said: "As soon as the reinforcements arrived, I led the troops back. After resting in Yongzhou for a few days, I headed north. The reason why I chose to go south to destroy Yan was because I was worried that Huangyang Road was too far to the north, and Jin Shixiong in the northwest , Gao Kaitai, Wang Yiqu is only separated by a river, and most of the Sui Navy’s troops are in Wang Yiqu’s hands. If he leads the navy to block the river, the Zhuqueshan camp on Huangyang Road will rely on the supply of the cargo fleet. , the Suzaku Mountain Camp is struggling."
"As for Luo Tu in the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Jian who has already invaded the south of the Yangtze River, and the strength of Tonggu Academy, there is only one river away. The terrain of Huangyang Road is too dangerous. If the navy cannot develop, we will have no initiative. The reason why I went south first is that there are some warships in Yongzhou, and if Nanyan is destroyed, another batch of warships can be collected... In addition, Nanyan has iron mines and shipyards, so it is better than Huangyang Road as a base."
"There is basically no change in the matter of Nanyan now. I want to return to the Zhuqueshan camp. The matter of Luo Weiran needs me to go back to the town to clean up, and then I have to see what is going on there. It has already invaded Gyeonggi Province How about the rebels, and then decide whether to move most of the Zhuqueshan camp to the south, or to build another base in Dali."
"I give you full power."
Fang Jie smiled and said: "After I return to Zhuqueshan camp, I hope that Nanyan has completely recovered. Next, I will build a navy and build a workshop in Yongzhou to forge firearms. You need to master these things. "
"Subordinate, thank you, my lord, for your trust!"
Dugu Wenxiu knelt down and kowtowed heavily. Fang Jie didn't give way either, and reached out to help him up after he was knocked down: "Let me point out which direction the Black Banner Army should go, and you can help me rest the route. Remember, I can trust you. No one is perfect, I It’s impossible for every decision to be right, and it’s impossible for me to listen to what anyone says. The person who points out my mistakes must be someone I can trust. If such a person is right, one is enough. Dugu… you want Understand, you will become more and more important in the future."
