Chapter 1153 Apparently you're a little bit behind

"Delicious"

Fang Jiefang put down his chopsticks and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a white hand towel.

"Compared with the Central Plains, the dishes here are less mellow but more elegant. The dishes of the Central Plains, especially in the north, have a very strong taste. Most of the dishes in Dongjiang are mainly light, and I don't feel bored after eating them for a few days. ”

Mu Qinglin hurriedly said: "There is also a century-old shop in the east of the city, which tastes even more beautiful." ”

Fang Xie nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll eat tomorrow." ”

Mu Qinglin smiled and agreed, and accompanied Fang Xie to leave the restaurant.

Fang Xie did not live in the place arranged by Mu Qinglin, but lived in the post station. The entire post station was occupied by the Black Flag Army, and those burly, sturdy and murderous soldiers were guarding here, making people dare not approach. Some people may suspect that there can't be any murderous aura on people's bodies, this is a very mysterious thing, and it cannot be trusted. That's because neither before nor in the future, ordinary people have little chance to come into contact with these truly murderous people.

"Went out to eat again today?"

Xiang Qingniu couldn't help but pouted when he saw Fang Xie coming back: "That old man named Mu Qinglin is a good guide and a good slave, I'm afraid that all the restaurants in Mufu City that can be on the table have eaten all the dishes, right?" Anyway, you are also one of the biggest people in the world, can you be more reserved? ”

"Count one, not count two."

Fang Xie waved his hand to correct.

"It turns out that handsome people can also make people feel disgusting!"

Xiang Qingniu couldn't help but stand up and asked angrily: "In the past few days, everyone has only watched you eat and drink in the city, are you going to wait like this?" Mu Guangling promised to give you grain and grass, you believe it? If he doesn't give it to you for a while, just wait here for a while? Don't forget that there are nearly one million of your army in Eastern Xinjiang, and you can really come down here if you leave your soldiers behind! ”

"I am pleased with the first half of your first sentence."

Fang Xie sat down on the chair and leaned back to make himself sit more comfortable: "That's right, I'm just waiting for Mu Guangling to give me food, and if nothing else, I will be able to get a batch of food soon, believe it or not?" ”

"What if you get food?"

Xiang Qingniu asked, "You have been delayed in the city for several days, who knows what happened outside?" In case Mu Guangling has been pretending to be sick and not seeing you for the past few days, in fact, people have already run out, you know? ”

"I really do."

Fang Xie smiled: "And you are obviously much smarter today than before. ”

Fang Xie poured himself a cup of herbal tea: "Mu Guangling has already left this city, Mu Qinglin is just trying to stabilize me and prevent me from leaving these days, you guessed it right." ”

Xiang Qingniu was stunned for a moment: "Then you are still so leisurely?" ”

"Mu Guangling was scared by me and ran out of his house, but I was an uncle in his house, why didn't I relax? I still have to relax for a few days, and when Mu Qinglin feels that the time is almost up, he will hand over the food to me, even if the amount given is insufficient, it will be real food. When the army first came, I could earn a little if I could, and I was not a picky eater. ”

"What if Mu Guangling went out of the city to arrange something to deal with you?"

Xiang Qingniu asked eagerly.

"No in case, definitely."

Fang explained: "But if you think about it carefully, what method can Mu Guangling use to deal with me now?" With the current strength of Mu Mansion, he didn't dare to tear his face at Nalan Dingdong when I didn't come, and he still had to pretend to maintain his politeness on the surface. I'm here, does he dare to use all the power of Mufu to fight me? ”

"He"

Xiang Qingniu pondered for a while, and suddenly reacted: "Borrowing a knife to kill someone? ”

"Hmm"

Fang Xie nodded: "This method is so old-fashioned, but it has been tried and tested. If nothing else, Mu Guangling will reveal my location to foreigners. My Black Flag Army is now the most powerful force against foreigners, if foreigners know where I am, how can they not come? ”

"And you're just waiting?"

Xiang Qingniu asked.

"Waiting"

Fang explained: "Mu Guangling dares to go out of his home, why can't I go out and be a bait?" If nothing else, Mu Guangling must have guessed that the first place I was going to was Malan Mountain. I'm going to Phoenix Terrace, passing through there, which is the most important hub in Eastern Xinjiang. Mu Guangling is reluctant, and the foreigners want it more, so Mu Guangling should set up a game there, and it is best for my Black Flag Army and the foreigners to fight there to lose both sides, so that he can be satisfied. ”

Xiang Qingniu rubbed his head, and found that he was really not good at this aspect: "What are you going to do, you can say it bluntly, you know that I don't have so many twists and turns in my head." If you really follow Mu Guangling's arrangement, wouldn't it be very disadvantageous? ”

"What's the disadvantage?"

Fang Xie smiled and said: "Mu Guangling's method is nothing more than to lead me to a decisive battle with foreigners, and even the battlefield he has chosen for me, I should really thank him." For the sake of this bureau, he also has to take a horse of grain and grass, which can be regarded as a very conscientious. So I'm going to go with his plan, because I'm going to do it quickly. ”

"You can really scare people to death."

Xiang Qingniu sighed: "Are you ready?" ”

Fang explained: "Mu Guangling hopes that the foreigners will kill me, and he also hopes that I can eliminate more foreigners, so that he can regain control of the entire Eastern Frontier." Not only did I have to follow his arrangement, but I also had to do my best to help him perform this scene. However, how to fight this battle is not up to him, nor is it for the foreigners to have the final say. ”

Morx is happy with where he is.

Under Lyman, young generals have always had a high status, so the more favored the young generals become, the more arrogant they become, and they begin to lose respect for those who are already old. Morx insisted that it was a stupid thing to do, so he would never allow himself to do it.

He knew that Lyman the Great liked to use young men like him, because Lyman knew what kind of people could be more indomitable on the battlefield. Older people are always looking ahead, and with the current strength of the Opru Empire, there is no need to be so cautious about waging war wherever it wants.

Lyman likes to crush the general conquest.

But!

Lyman the Great definitely didn't value those old people.

For example, Thurence, who had said countless ill things in front of Lyman, was still the supreme commander on the battlefield in Eastern Xinjiang, even though Lyman the Great had already conquered the army, but he still did not order to deprive Thurence of his military power. For example, Kirkbo, who was the most scheming next to Lyman, although he felt like his lungs were about to explode when he coughed, but Morkes knew that he must have lived a few years longer than most people.

Because these two old fellows know Lyman's mind better than these young men.

So, Mox likes to be close to Kirkbo. He knew that Kirkbo liked the antiques of the Han people, so he asked people to loot as much as possible, whether it was a treasure or not, as long as there were enough of them, it would make the old fox of Kirkbo tempted. All he needed was Kirkbo to mention himself to Lyman once in a while.

Apparently, he succeeded.

Two of the most important young generals in the Opru Empire have fallen on this land in a row, and Mox doesn't want to be the third. One is an idiot who is arrogant and thinks that he can easily take the Phoenix Terrace, and the other is an idiot who is also arrogant and thinks that he can rule the waterways of Eastern Xinjiang.

Their deaths, Morx was not surprised.

After receiving his appointment, the first thing Morkes did was to visit Kirkbo with a generous gift and express his most sincere gratitude for his promotion. Then he left with the army as fast as he could, he didn't want to give Lyman the Great a chance to repent. Although his men were not very satisfied this time, the number was still amazing.

This time, in addition to the 200,000 elite soldiers of the Oplu Empire, there were nearly 300,000 troops from the Chu State. The role of these surrenders is, of course, cannon fodder, but on the battlefield, the role of cannon fodder is often very important.

After arriving in the eastern frontier, the first thing Mox did was not to start a war against any Han army, but to quietly leave his army and sneak into the army of Shurens with rich gifts. He felt compelled to show kindness and respect to the old fellow, who knew very well that what the old people liked most was to be respected.

He wasn't here to fight Thulens for military power, and Morx knew that only an idiot would think that, and it turned out that idiots who thought that way died quickly. Eastern Xinjiang is a big battlefield, and if it is a comprehensive victory, then the great military merits are coveted, but no one can occupy all the military merits. Rather than that, it's better to share it politely.

"Are you familiar with the taste?"

Mox leaned forward slightly and asked politely.

Thurence poured the mellow red wine from the glass into his mouth, his face full of enjoyment: "This is a fine wine from my hometown, even if I travel all over the world and taste all the famous wines, I will never forget this taste." Mox, you really have a heart. Come to think of it, I've been away from my hometown for many years, and I haven't drunk wine from my hometown for at least five years. ”

"And your letter."

Morkes waited until this time to take out the heaviest gift, and he handed a letter to Thurence with both hands: "Before I came, I specially sent someone to rush back to the empire to meet your family, and your family was very excited to learn that I was coming to see you, so everyone left a sentence on this letter. ”

Thurence's face changed, his hands trembled a little and he took the letter, he read it carefully twice, and then pressed his heart to his chest: "My grandson has entered the Imperial Military Academy to study, but you can imagine how many years I have not been close to him, in my memory, he is still a little child fluttering butterflies in the garden. ”

"yes, time flies."

Mox sighed with emotion: "I remember the first time I met you, you attended His Majesty's dinner in the dress of the commander of the navy, and at that time you had just led the imperial navy to defeat the invincible Dongpu people and let them know what it means to be invincible. From that time on, you were my idol. ”

"Hahahaha"

Thurence smirked: "But not every young person still remembers those past events. ”

"I won't forget it, because you are my idol, so it is also my motivation to move forward."

Mox felt that the opportunity was ripe, so he smiled and said, "I came this time to ask for your advice." I don't want to disappoint Your Majesty, after all, my family is not a famous family in the Empire, and it will be too difficult for me to get this opportunity to lead the troops. ”

"I'm sure you've visited that old immortal in Kirkbo."

Thurence said with a smile.

Mox smiled embarrassedly, and his acting skills were just right: "Young people always want to get more guidance from their seniors." ”

"Okay"

Xiurens put down his wine glass, picked up a piece of information from the table and handed it to Mox: "This is the news I just received, the leader of the Black Flag Army has come out of the middle, and soon he will personally escort a batch of grain and grass to Malan Mountain, you know, if this person dies, Your Majesty will be very happy!" ”

Mox's eyes lit up, he stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you, you are like my father." ”

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Mox took his leave.

Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Xiurens couldn't help but smile: "You always need someone else to explore the way ahead, I know if there is a trap young man there, you need not only disguised respect, but also innate wisdom to distinguish the true from the false Obviously, you are still a little behind."
