Chapter 922: Never Fight, But Why Fight?
Chapter 922: Never Fight, But Why Fight?
Fang Xie and Yang Jian sat facing each other, and the conversation between the two seemed to have come to an end. There was no reason for this kind of conversation to continue, and as soon as Fang Xie opened his mouth, he blocked all of Yang Jian's roads. Let Yang Jian kill freely at this time, there is no possibility.
Da Zizi was not angry, he kept smiling and looking at the two people, even if Fang Xie deliberately said this, he seemed unmoved.
Yang Jian was silent for a long time, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "I have always thought that peace in the world is the best thing for anyone. Therefore, when I raised troops to resist the tyrannical Zheng, I did not have the slightest mercy on the battlefield, and I was determined to end the troubled times as soon as possible and return the people to a peaceful world...... The same is true today. ”
His tone gradually became calmer, and he said in a very soft voice: "I know what you are doing in the southwest, and many people say that you take care of the people like this because you are from a poor and humble background, and you hate famous families. But I understand that this is something in human nature, and it has nothing to do with your background, even if you are from a famous family, this kind of thing can be done. But ......"
Yang Jian glanced at Fang Jie: "How big is your ability?" ”
He stretched out his hand and gestured a circle in the sky: "This is the southwest." ”
Then he opened his arms and embraced the whole sky: "This is the ...... of the world"
"The reason why you can carry out what you want to promote in the southwest is because your people are loyal to you and will not go against your will. is also because the southwest is only a corner after all, if you kill some wealthy people, you will kill them, and if you can't touch the interests of those real families, they will be too lazy to care. But what about when you get out of the Southwest? Can you continue to carry forward your desires with your abilities? ”
Yang Jian pointed behind him: "Don't say anything else, it's Jiangnan, do you think you can successfully complete what you want to do?" Besides, Jiangbei, especially Gyeonggi Province, are you really sure that you will exterminate the family that opposes you in the world? ”
He looked at Fang Xie and said seriously, "I can!" ”
He stood up and walked to Fang Jie's side: "I am the founding emperor of the Great Sui, and this world was defeated by me, and I am sure to reorganize this piece of the world again." No matter how big the family in the world is, it is not as big as the Yang family, and I will restore the life of the world in the future, and then I will implement it to the whole world according to what you did in the southwest. I've thought about it, and you're doing a great job in the Southwest...... I used to look at the faces of those people in the family, and only care about their interests, because I was afraid that they and I were not of the same mind. ”
"But this Great Sui Rebellion, isn't it because the imperial court is too dependent on these people? I thought, if you follow your method, maybe you can really make the Great Sui for thousands of generations. ”
After hearing what he said, Fang Xie couldn't help but clap his hands: "These words are so beautiful...... But no matter how beautiful the words are, they are just empty words. ”
"You don't believe I can do it?"
Yang Jian asked.
Fang Xie once again pointed to Da Zizai: "What is the status of Buddhism in the western prairie? These Buddhists don't produce, they don't cook, they don't weave, they don't pay taxes, but they squander a lot of money. If you use Great Freedom and Buddhism now, then even if you put down all the rebellions, what will happen in the future? War with Buddhism again? When the time comes, the world will be in ruins, do you have the courage? ”
Yang Jian was stunned, his brows furrowed deeply.
"Wartime, wartime, wartime, war, war, post-war."
Yang Jian glanced back at Da Zizi: "I will think of a good solution to this matter." ”
Fang Xie shook his head: "I never believe in making a wish. ”
He also stood up and walked to the river: "The more beautiful and beautiful the wish, the more illusory and ethereal. Your Majesty feels that you can take care of the people according to my method, because Your Majesty now hopes to be able to use hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my Black Flag Army. No matter how high Your Majesty's cultivation is, it is impossible for one person to kill all the rebellions. Everyone knows how powerful the Black Flag Army is...... Your Majesty needs me now, so I can speak as beautiful as flowers. ”
"But what about later?"
Fang Xie looked at the soldiers of the Black Flag Army: "I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my hands, six rivers and mountains, and hundreds of millions of people, and I will hand them over just by His Majesty's words?" When Your Majesty calms the world in the future, what treatment will my Black Flag soldiers get? What will I get? Your son...... Emperor Taizong of the Great Sui Dynasty was already magnanimous enough, didn't he demote Li Xiao to the bitter cold land in the northwest? ”
"When I entered the examination at the Martial Arts Academy, people said that I was the second Li Xiao of the Great Sui."
Fang Xie smiled, looked at Yang Jian and said, "But I never think this is an auspicious word, really." ”
Yang Jian fell silent again, and after a long time, asked, "Do you think the Black Flag Army can defeat me?" Can you defeat me? You said you were thinking about the Black Flag Army, but have you thought about it...... Once the war starts, how many of your elites will survive? How many bones will lie on the ground, and how many families will lose their loved ones? You don't want to think about yourself, you don't want to think about your family, don't you want to think about these hundreds of thousands of horses? ”
"Of course I want to."
Fang Xie smiled: "Your Majesty is also thinking. ”
He looked at Yang Jian and said, "Why did Your Majesty come to me?" Because you don't want to fight this battle. I am not sure of a steady victory, how can Your Majesty be sure? ”
"But I can kill you."
Yang Jian said word by word.
Fang Xie smiled more comfortably: "Your Majesty may not know me very well...... For as long as I can remember, the most common thing I've encountered is being killed...... Some people don't have things to mention, but some people can't do it without mentioning them...... King Dalun Ming wants to kill me, Luo Yao wants to kill me, and Da Zizi behind you wants to kill me...... I'm alive. ”
Fang Xie raised his chin: "King Dalun Ming is dead, Luo Yao is dead, although I didn't kill him, but at least it proves one thing." ”
Yang Jian asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Fang Xie said seriously: "Fang Juexiao...... He's not easy to kill. ”
……
……
Fang Xie walked back to the edge of the chair and sat down: "Your Majesty has Your Majesty's Dao, and I also have my own Dao. Buddhism says the way of heaven, Taoism also says the way of heaven, the emperor says the way of heaven, the people also say the way of heaven, what is the way of heaven? In my opinion, it's just a fair word. Can Your Majesty be just? ”
Without waiting for Yang Jian to answer, Fang Xie shook his head: "You can't do it." ”
"Eastern Xinjiang was invaded by foreign enemies, and the soldiers of Mufu fought bloodily, in order to defend an isolated island, 5,000 soldiers would rather die than surrender, and none of them surrendered, including Mu Guangling's son...... Isn't that what Your Majesty should do? Why did His Majesty stand in front of me and promise me a bright future? ”
Yang Jian asked: "Is there really a foreigner invasion in Eastern Xinjiang?" ”
"Yes"
Fang explained: "Your Majesty has already seen the power of foreigners' firearms, right?" There were only so many firearms in Shengtu's hands, and the soldiers didn't know how to operate them, which caused the ironclad army to suffer heavy losses. If Dongjiang is isolated and helpless, and when the foreigner army invades on a large scale, does Your Majesty think that with the less than half of the ironclad army in your hand, you can still beat the foreigners out? ”
"After the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, he fought everywhere and expanded his territory."
Fang Xie said seriously: "Why? ”
"Because the Great Sui is strong, the neighboring countries are inferior. Therefore, the Great Sui can send troops unscrupulously and grab everything that can be robbed. The Great Sui did not dare to easily move troops with Meng Yuan because Meng Yuan was not weaker than the Great Sui. Now, the Great Sui in the eyes of foreigners is just like the Shang Kingdom, Southern Chen, and Eastern Chu in the eyes of the Great Sui. Deceive! ”
Fang Jie's voice suddenly raised: "Your Majesty keeps saying that the world is the world of the Yang family, and those courtiers under your command keep saying that the whole world is not the king's land, and the whole world is not the king's minister, but is this really the case?" Since Your Majesty thinks that the world is all yours, the foreigners have smashed the door of Your Majesty's house, but Your Majesty is still looking forward to the future generations at home...... It's a little ridiculous to think about it. ”
Fang Xie pointed to the east: "Your Majesty is ready to lead the troops east to help Mu Guangling?" If you don't have that in mind, get out of the way, and I'll send someone to rush there. ”
Yang Jian's face turned pale for a while, obviously really angry. But if he explained it, he couldn't find the words to refute it.
"Your Majesty must have thought that this must be a ruse I came up with. In order to transfer His Majesty's men and horses, I can swallow Jiangnan in one bite. Or maybe Your Majesty thinks I'm afraid of your ironclad army and your cultivation, so he will come up with this excuse to deceive you......"
Fang Xie waved his hand back, and Xiahou Baichuan immediately asked people to wave the flag. The five thousand elite horsemen slowly parted to the sides, making way for a passage. Looking down the passage, there was a row of no less than a hundred guns.
Fang Xie looked at Yang Jian: "Your Majesty doesn't believe that I know what happened in Dongjiang, then I'll tell Your Majesty why I know." Since I arrived in the southwest, I have been preparing to build a firearms battalion, and now, the combat strength of my firearms battalion is even ten victories! If there is really a decisive battle, His Majesty's ironclad army may not be able to win. It is precisely because I know the power of firearms that I pay special attention to the affairs of foreigners, and there are hundreds of scouts under my command to inquire about the news in Eastern Xinjiang......"
"I know more than that."
Fang Xie said in a chilling tone: "Your Majesty and Shengtu are fighting, I am not present...... But I know exactly how the two of you play each other. If you don't have the power of the terrain, can Your Majesty easily defeat Shengtu? ”
"Don't doubt what I know."
Fang Xie said proudly: "I know far more than Your Majesty, and that's because you lived in the world two hundred years ago, not today's world." ”
When Yang Jian saw the artillery lined up behind Fang Jiejing's horse, his heart felt like he was hit by a sledgehammer. And it was not these artillery pieces that hit him harder, but Fang Jie's last words.
"Because you lived in the world of 200 years ago, not the world of today."
These words were like a sharp knife that cut a hole in Yang Jian's heart, which was originally tightly wrapped.
Am I really too old to know this world?
Yang Jian involuntarily asked himself in his heart.
After asking, his heart hurt even more.
"The reason why I want to talk to Your Majesty is not about what Your Majesty thinks, but about Eastern Xinjiang."
Fang Xie said slowly: "The power of foreigners' firearms is a hundred times and a thousand times that of me, if Your Majesty thinks that this is still a world that can be swept away with a horizontal sword and a long lance, it is wrong." If you don't take advantage of the fact that the foreigners have not been able to climb this country and block it out, then this country that Your Majesty thinks is your own thing will only be left with devastation. His Majesty felt that he was so powerful that he could easily crush the bronze mirror with one finger...... But Your Majesty, will you restore the bronze mirror to its original state? ”
Fang Xie stood up, turned around and walked back: "Your Majesty can prepare for a decisive battle with my Black Flag Army, and hundreds of thousands of sons and daughters of the Black Flag Army are never afraid of fighting. Your Majesty can also let go of a road for my people to rush to the aid of Eastern Xinjiang, if you intercept and kill halfway...... Then it's you and I don't die. ”
"Let's go back to Chang'an."
Fang Xie said as he walked: "If I were Your Majesty, I would go back to Chang'an." Then an edict was issued to the world, and in the name of the Great Sui Emperor, the world was summoned to fight against the strong enemy. ”
"I ......"
Yang Jian looked at Fang Jie's back and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say or what to say.
In the distance, Fang Jie's last sentence came gently but heavily: "The Black Flag Army is not afraid of war, and Your Majesty is not afraid of war, but some battles can not be fought, and some battles must be fought!" How to fight, with whom, I'll wait for Your Majesty to give me an answer! ”
The Black Flag Army's 5,000 elite cavalry escorted the firearms battalion and slowly retreated.
A 200-year-old emperor was left standing stiff, like a child, at a loss.
