Chapter 949 Being the boss is enough

Dugu Wenxiu saw Fang Jie's face look strange and felt a little uneasy. He once thought Fang Jie was a very simple person, and it was not hard to figure out such a lord. Because Fang Jie's requirements have always been simple, Dugu Wenxiu thought for a while that he had found that point.

But later he realized that the simpler the lord, the more confused it was.

To be honest, he hesitated for a long time whether to persuade Fang Jie to enter Chang'an. Now the southwest roads have gradually become stable, and the Yunnan road has been obtained. The strength of the Black Flag Army has greatly increased. According to Fang Jie's previous goal, it was to stabilize the southwest, then fight with Yang Jian in Jiangnan, and then march into the northwest. First take over half of the Great Sui Dynasty, and no matter how it fights, it will not be powerless.

Looking at the long run, Fang’s plan is very stable.

However, the situation is like a battle situation, changing rapidly.

The previous plan may not be suitable now. First of all, the decisive battle with Yang Jian was unexpectedly simple, and the hard work was all about Fang Jie. The most important thing is that now the war in the East Xinjiang is in chaos, Fang Jie's mind seems to be no longer in the Central Plains, so there must be a new development direction.

If Yang Jian did not die, Dugu Wenxiu would not mention the march into Chang'an City.

The war in the East Xinjiang is in full swing, and the advantages of foreigners are becoming more and more obvious. Now most of the strong are waiting and watching, and secretly those who have not yet exerted their strength are waiting to see what others do. For example, Fang Jie is not a small number of people who put foreign enemies first, but there are not a small number of people who are waiting for the opportunity to grow up.

If Fang Jie divides his troops to the eastern border, the control of the Black Flag Army will be greatly reduced. At this time, one of the most influential things is needed to make others give up. No matter whether the Sui Dynasty exists or not, Chang'an City will not change as the imperial capital. No matter which force or ordinary people, everyone understands that whoever owns Chang'an City has won the hearts of most people.

The word orthodox is the most mysterious, but it is most useful at times.

Seeing that Fang Jie didn't say anything, Dugu Wenxiu simply stopped tempting: "Now that the war in the East Xinjiang is in chaos, it is natural to be urgent to divide the troops to the East. However, I wish my subordinates were ominous... Even if the lord divided the troops to the East Xinjiang, the chance of blocking the foreign enemy overseas was not very good. Foreigners had been secretly operating in the East Xinjiang for a long time, but there was no way to block Mouping City. Even if Mu Mansion resisted and others rushed to help, foreigners already had a second way to go."

"After landing in Muping City, Mu Guangling had to divide his troops, no matter whether the foreigners attacked Shanhaiguan or attacked the rear of the Mu Mansion. Foreigners had powerful artillery, and their siege of cities and land was even more shocking than when the Sui army was at its peak. If we want to resolve the dangers in the Eastern Front, we not only need all the military strength of the Black Flag Army, but also need the powerful forces in the Central Plains to join forces to fight to have a chance of victory, but lord... can the Black Flag Army go to the Eastern Front?"

"cannot"

Dugu Wenxiu continued without waiting for the answer, "The southwest paths are the foundation that the lord has finally settled down, and he must leave behind heavy troops to garrison. Once the entire Black Flag Army goes to the East Xinjiang, the foundation will be lost! Therefore, the lord is worried about the East Xinjiang but needs to focus on the Central Plains. Taking Chang'an City, the lord can issue orders in the name of the court and call on the people of the world to resist foreign enemies. No matter how many people will obey, it is legitimate."

"Outside Chang'an City, there are Gao Kaitai's rebels. In terms of strength, they are far inferior to their lords. At this time, when they go north, Gao Kaitai will retreat. If he retreats, he dare not retreat eastward, but can only retreat northwest. What his subordinates are worried about is that the state affairs of the Mongolian Yuan have now stabilized. With Kuoke Tai Mengge's mind, he can bear it as the Central Plains becomes more and more chaotic? Once the Mongolian Yuan sends troops to the Central Plains, the northwest will be the first to bear the brunt of Gao Kaitai and force Gao Kaitai back to the southwest. If the Mongolian Yuan invades in the future, the first wall will be handed over to Gao Kaitai and cast it."

"If the lord takes over Chang'an City and stabilizes the city defense, even if the foreigners fight over, Chang'an City will be safer in the lord's hands!"

Dugu Wenxiu said so much in one breath, took a deep breath and advised: "Lord, my subordinates do not oppose the division of troops in the East Xinjiang, Nalan Dingdong is also the most suitable candidate. But defense is the top priority. The lord sits in Chang'an, both for the battle situation in the East Xinjiang and for the foundation of the Black Flag Army in the southwest. There are at least 5,000 iron armored troops in Chang'an City, which is the best knife to use on the battle formation. Moreover, the eldest princess is still there..."

Before he could finish his words, Fang Jie waved his hand to stop him: "I will talk about the matter of entering Chang'an City after I think about it. Now I will do the current work first. I will go to the Sui Army camp in person tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Fang Jie stood up and left.

Everyone stood up and bowed with their fists. After Fang Jie left, they all looked at Dugu Wenxiu.

"Actually, the lord has not agreed to your proposal yet. It's not that the lord doesn't want to fight Chang'an City, but that it's too difficult to fight Chang'an City."

Wu Yidao sighed: "How could Gao Kaitai easily retreat to the northwest? Even if he retreated to the northwest, would a person who had rebelled once really fight against the invasion of the Mongol Yuan? The lord wanted to take the northwest first, but wasn't he worried that once the Mongol Yuan advances eastward, foreigners will invade the Central Plains, and the Central Plains will be attacked from both sides..."

Dugu Wenxiu shook his head: "How come I don't understand these things? But now the soldiers are all looking at the lord, and they are all waiting for the lord to point the direction more clearly. When we go to Dongjiang, we understand, but the soldiers may not understand."

Cui Zhongzhen shook his head and said, "You are right to think comprehensively, but sometimes you think too much and become confused... If you ask the soldiers, are you willing to kill someone with your own people or fight to the death with foreign enemies on the battlefield, I am afraid the answer will be clearer."

"but……"

Cui Zhongzhen said: "I also think it's best to fight Chang'an City first."

...

...

“Too many troubles?”

Xiang Qingniu handed the wine pot to Fang Jie, and then stuffed a piece of braised meat into his mouth. Two people fell on the roof of a house, drinking and eating meat. The wine is aged in Jiangnan, and the meat is the signature of a century-old restaurant. It is full of fragrance and has a soft and fragrant mouth.

"I was just thinking about what it would have been like if I had chosen another path."

Fang Jie took a sip of wine and glanced westward involuntarily: "If I hadn't chosen the current path, but had led my beloved woman to find a good place, would it be much faster? I couldn't do it before because there were too many unpredictable things. Now, I can do it. The Ming King of the Great Wheel was dead, Luo Yao was dead, and Yang Jian was also dead, so I don't have to worry about being chased..."

"but……"

Xiang Qingniu smiled: "When you find that you can fulfill your previous luxury, you realize that it is too late. The pressure in the past is that you don't know how suitable to die, but the pressure in the present is that you carry the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of people on your shoulders. If a person is just a grain of sand, then you have already carried a mountain on your shoulders."

"Ask you something."

Xiang Qingniu was silent for a while and asked, "Have you ever thought about being an emperor?"

Fang Jie looked at him, then nodded: "I thought about it."

"Then what?"

Xiang Qingniu asked again.

Fang Jie pondered for a while and replied: "In the past, you may not understand what I said before, and I can't explain it... I didn't understand so much about the word emperor before. I just felt that the highest achievement of a man is the word emperor. A man has ever imagined how it feels like to be an emperor."

"I didn't think about it."

Xiang Qingniu shook his head: "I really didn't think about it, so I wouldn't have you ever had trouble like this. What I thought before was just finding the second senior brother, but later I thought about not letting my master die with peace of mind. Later, I thought about helping you to calm the world, and then I would train an apprentice to explain the matter of Qingle Mountain to the fullest. Later, Mr. Zhuo went to Qingle Mountain, and I didn't worry about Qingle Mountain."

"Do you know, what is Taoist heart?"

Xiang Qingniu asked.

Fang Jie shook his head.

"It's just the word "brightness."

Xiang Qingniu said: "It is difficult for people to hesitate, but because their original heart is unclear. The so-called original heart is what you want. The so-called Taoist heart means understanding what you want. The eldest brother wants too much, so the Taoist heart is not enlightened. The second brother is simple, but he is not clear. As for the third brother, his heart is even noisier."

"My master said that I have the best qualifications, but in fact, what I mean is that my heart is the simplest."

Xiang Qingniu said: "Only simple and clear can you avoid worry."

He looked at Fang Jie and said, "If you really have a hard time making a decision, you need to ask yourself what you want, and you must not deceive yourself into giving yourself a fake answer. If you want too much, then weigh the trade-offs and comparisons to make the one you want the most clear, and the following things will actually not be difficult."

"This statement seems to be very shallow, but it is actually very deep."

Fang Jie smiled: "It's really not easy for a fat man to reason."

"If it weren't for eating yours and drinking yours, I wouldn't bother to tell you this."

Xiang Qingniu wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth: "Actually, I have thought about it for you, and your problem is not difficult to solve. You don't know what you think the most, but I know it. In fact, it's extremely simple, but you're too complicated to find the most direct path."

“What is it?”

Fang answered the question.

Xiang Qingniu said seriously: "What do you think the most? You may not know it yourself, but I seem to be watching clearly... It's that simple if you want this world to become your ideal world. This answer includes all your desires in your heart. Whether it's for your own selfishness or for the public intention of the world, this answer is enough."

"So, this is what you want the most, how can you do it?"

He asked, but he didn't need Fang Jie to answer: "Just do one thing, it's enough, it's still simple and straightforward... Be the one who points to the east and everyone runs east and you point to the west and everyone turns around immediately. Only when you are the strongest person in the world can you solve everything. Let everyone follow your will, then... there's nothing complicated, you just need to point one direction."

"Let's be the boss of the world."

Xiang Qingniu smiled: "As the biggest boss, what you want to achieve is much simpler than what you want to do now."

"Be the boss and do whatever he wants?"

Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "What a fucking rogue bachelor's idea...but it seems that it makes sense."

"I am the Taoist Lord!"

Xiang Qingniu pointed to his nose: "I don't make sense to speak, so everyone else's words are farts."

"Why don't you want to be the emperor?"

Fang asked Xiang Qingniu.

"As the emperor... I have to turn the brand every night to choose a woman to sleep with. When I think of this, I have a headache... I don't want to neglect anyone, and I can't sleep together... What a difficult choice. I am a person who is willing to share the same rain and dew, but I can't do it, so I'd better just want to have a wife in the future, so I don't have to choose."

Fang Jie looked at Xiang Qingniu like a monster: "I bet you have refined Zhuang-yang medicine."

"fart!"

Xiang Qingniu suddenly became excited: "I'm not that dirty! I just... I've read related books in my spare time..."

He asked the prescription: "If there is really such a medicine that will make you strong forever, won't you be moved?"

Fang Jie shook his head: "Is that still interesting?"
