In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao and Liu Bei cook wine and discuss heroes are known to everyone in the world. Although Yue Zhongqi and Gao Jin are not Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they can also be called heroes in this era. Now they sit opposite each other and use tea instead of wine, which has a bit of ancient meaning.

Although this was their first time meeting today and their camps were different, they were not at all unfamiliar with each other. Gao Jin took the initiative to make tea for Yue Zhongqi, and Yue Zhongqi also accepted it calmly, chatting and laughing like an old friend with the pot of tea in front of him.

Both of them were men who led the troops and had been fighting for so many years. They naturally mentioned the military aspects when they spoke. Gao Jin curiously asked Yue Zhongqi's tactics from Gansu to Sichuan, and then directly cut off the rebel army in Sichuan, which suddenly made the White Lotus Sect, which originally occupied the entire Sichuan, fall into trouble. In the end, he could not look at each other and lost the territory in Sichuan.

After hearing this question, Yue Zhongqi smiled and said frankly without hiding it. He told Gao Jin the truth that he was not sure of sending troops at the beginning, and if he had not been able to move south after entering Sichuan, he would probably not have been able to open up the situation at all if it was not for the right time and place and the support of local forces in central Sichuan.

"In fact, it was a risky move in the middle of the army, especially when we were down the river, the central Sichuan troops only needed to intercept at a few places. The troops I led would not be able to reach Cangxi to cut off the important roads in northern Sichuan. Furthermore, even if our troops occupied Cangxi, if the central Sichuan troops had unified command and the main general stabilized their positions and led the army to resolutely counterattack, I would not be sure to win, let alone the result of defeating the rebel troops one by one, and finally winning..."

Yue Zhongqi talked about it, then used his fingers to write and draw on the table with tea, staring at Gao Jin, who was sitting, and asked about the situation at that time from time to time, but he was not displeased in his expression. You must know that the White Lotus Sect in Sichuan was Wang Zhiqing's subordinate. It was because Yue Zhongqi came out of the strange army and took Sichuan, which was originally the rear, from Wang Zhiqing, which had already left Sichuan, which led to a dilemma in Henan, and eventually became undecided and led to a great defeat.

Whether it is from Wang Ling'er or Wang Wan'er, or in Gao Jin's current identity, the White Lotus Sect is now mainly Gao Jin. Logically speaking, Yue Zhongqi took back the entire Sichuan for the Qing Dynasty as a general of the Qing army, and she was deeply hatred for the White Lotus Sect, which directly ended Wang Zhiqing's original ambition to compete for the Central Plains.

However, Gao Jin did not look unhappy at all. Instead, he was a little excited. He even discussed some details with Yue Zhongqi for a long time, sincerely praising the other party for being bold and meticulous, and using troops as if they were gods.

Yue Zhongqi naturally also asked about Gao Jin's several important battles that year, especially when Gao Jin first took over Yuan Qi's troops, Gao Jin led a group of defeated soldiers and the morale of the team was extremely low. If Gao Jin had not turned the war decisively and relied on the terrain to deal with the Qing army, thus breaking out of the Qing army's encirclement. Then he took advantage of Wang Zhiqing's opportunity to revive the situation in Sichuan and restored Yuan Qi's strength in one fell swoop.

Gao Jin did not hide this, and smiled and told himself frankly that he was helpless at that time. As for the later rescue of Wang Zhiqing's troops, it was also because Gao Jin had kindness. After all, Wang Zhiqing pulled him back then. If it weren't for Wang Zhiqing, Gao Jin wouldn't have had the momentum later.

"The Marquis later took over as his subordinate because of this? But although this made the Marquis' name of loyalty and righteousness, it caused great trouble for the Marquis!" Hearing this, Yue Zhongqi looked at Gao Jin and sighed a little.

Gao Jin smiled faintly: "The so-called fish and bear's paws cannot be both. If you gain something, you will lose something. The White Lotus Rebel Army has kindness to me. Although I, Gao Jin, cannot be called a real man, I still understand the truth that you will repay all kindness. What's more, since Wang Zhiqing married me, I have been in constant dismissal with the White Lotus lineage. Moreover, with my current identity, where can I keep myself alone? This is not my wish."

"Mr. Marquis is righteous, I toast the Marquis with tea instead of wine!" Yue Zhongqi picked up the teacup in front of her, with an admiration in her eyes.

Gao Jin smiled and raised his mouth. The two of them touched each other gently like friends, and drank it all at the same time.

Although the two sides were still not in the same camp, they were obviously much closer than they were at the beginning. At the same time, Yue Zhongqi also remembered Zhu Yicheng's comments on Gao Jin at the time, and she was not only feeling a little emotional. If Gao Jin could surrender to the Ming Dynasty, then his status would never be inferior to him now, and with Gao Jin's character and strategy, he would be more good friends with him.

But now, although I appreciate it in my heart, Yue Zhongqi clearly knows that both sides are enemies, not friends, unless Gao Jin can leave everything they care about and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but will Gao Jin do this? Of course, the answer is impossible. Gao Jin has clearly expressed this meaning in his words just now. What's more, if Gao Jin did this, he would not be Gao Jin. He could have surrendered directly to the Ming Dynasty after Yuan Qi died, so why should he support it until now?

"I wonder what the Marquis thinks about the current situation?" After a moment of cunning, Yue Zhongqi changed the topic.

Gao Jin smiled faintly and said, "The Qing Dynasty is like a dry bone in a tomb, and there is no time to go. Maybe it can last for a few days outside the pass and west, but in my opinion, it is struggling dyingly. King Song has already joined the Ming Dynasty, Guangxi, and Guizhou. It can be said that the situation of the situation is determined. As for Yunnan, only the Ming Dynasty needs to stabilize the southwest provinces and then advance westward. Bei Henuo and others will not stop their sharp edge. The other forces in the world have disappeared, and the Ming Dynasty has become the master of the world."

"When the Marquis knows the general trend, why should he support it so hard? Why not..." Yue Zhongqi took the opportunity to persuade him, but he was interrupted by Gao Jin before he finished speaking.

Gao Jin smiled and said, "If an ants are alive, why don't we have to live without a single person? Why did our rebel army start a rebellion back then? Why isn't we fighting for it? Besides, there are many grievances between the Bailian lineage and previous dynasties. How can the Ming Dynasty to completely unify the world? However, the general has led the army for many years and is a famous general in the world. Naturally, he knows the strength of our troops. Although our troops are not as strong as the Ming Dynasty, they can still fight to the death, right?"

Gao Jin was clear and honest, and Yue Zhongqi had to admit that Gao Jin's words made some sense. And he also knew that even if Gao Jin was really willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yicheng would probably not agree, and even several bigwigs from the Military Affairs Office would object.

The conflicts between the White Lotus Sect and the court are irreconcilable. Once Gao Jin's troops are accepted, how can these White Lotus Sects be dealt with in the future? This clearly laid hidden dangers in the Ming Dynasty, and the consequences are endless.

But if Gao Jin's troops were directly destroyed, it would be difficult to achieve with Yue Zhongqi's current strength, especially when Guizhou is now in a complex and the situation has not been completely clear. When the two sides fight, not only will Yu Daming have no benefit, but it will even bring opportunities to the Qing army in Yunnan. In addition, the power of local chieftains and heads, once Guizhou is completely in chaos, all of its previous plans for Guizhou will be lost.

In addition, Gao Jin directly told Yue Zhongqi that his troops would not be soft, and he still had the ability to fight to the death. Guizhou's terrain is extremely complicated, and Yue Zhongqi could not predict what the battle would end up in the end and how long it would take to fight.

More importantly, is it difficult for Yue Zhongqi to really kill all the White Lotus Sect members? You should know that this is hundreds of thousands of people, so ruthless. Not to mention whether he can do it, even if he can do it, Yue Zhongqi is worried that too many people will kill and lead to God's punishment.

Today, when he met with Gao Jin, Yue Zhongqi had already passed a secret letter to Zhu Yicheng in advance, and also notified the Jinyiwei. Although there is a saying that the general is not given to him, he actually cannot make the final decision. Such a big thing cannot be decided by a general who leads troops outside. Moreover, Yue Zhongqi has always been cautious, and his status as a surrender is extremely sensitive, so he does not want to be left behind because of some things.
