Chapter 317: The First Meeting of the Two Heroes
Du Jia didn't know what awe is. Even when facing Song Huizong, he didn't care, let alone just the self-proclaimed King Fang La of Wu. He looked up indifferently and saw that Fang La was about 34 or 35 years old, with big ears, dragon eyebrows and tiger eyes, and had a strong atmosphere of wealth. No wonder he had the heart to be unjust.
Fang La saw Li Tianrun and Du Jia coming in and stood up and laughed: "Tianrun, this is the Lord of Liangshan Du Jia you mentioned. He is indeed a handsome talent, and he is so young, so he is really a terrifying young man, haha."
Du Jia secretly praised in his heart that Fang La was indeed a character. Logically, he is now the King of Wu. Although he is self-proclaimed, the six prefectures and forty-two counties he occupied, as well as the 40,000 to 50,000 people under his command are not fake. Moreover, it is the peak of his career, and he can be so polite to himself, the "little" Lord of Liangshan, at least his mind is quite luxurious.
Moreover, this person has a very friendly attitude when speaking and acting, which makes people very willing to get along with him. He has only seen this ability in Song Jiang and Chai Jin.
It is no wonder that his career exploded so quickly. He made such a world in less than three years, which was faster than Tian Hu and Wang Qing. Moreover, from Du Jia’s experiences on the road these days, he was also a good master in governance. His army and local people have become a group, and he is also quite popular. It is extremely difficult for the court to drive him out of here.
The military discipline of Tian Hu can be seen from what Tian Bao did, which shows that the people under his rule may be even more afraid of him. Once there are foreign enemies, it is hard to say who they will support more.
This is the people's heart. Although there is no effect in the short term or in a small range, any major force with long-term stability must not be missing. From this point of view, Fang La has already taken the right path.
Du Jia hurriedly greeted him and smiled, "Thank you, you are now busy with a lot of money. It is our honor to be able to take time to see me. The young actor had heard of the name of the king in Qingzhou. Even the court was extremely afraid of the noble army. It was like facing a great enemy. He was really a role model for countless heroes in my green forest."
Fang La also laughed loudly. Du Jia's praise obviously made him very happy. After all, Du Jia also has the ability to be "eloquent" and is also a scholar. His words are naturally comparable to those of ordinary Green Forest heroes.
At this time, Li Tianrun was shocked. Fang La had a prestige. With the rapid progress of his career in recent years, the king's aura became more and more obvious. Although he spoke very casually and politely, others would feel pressure without realizing it and dare not develop a sense of confrontation.
Even the old subordinates who followed Fang La from the beginning were a little nervous when facing him. They dared not laugh casually like before. No one else needed to say anything. Many people couldn't even say the complete words. Li Tianrun saw too many things. To be honest, he was still a little expectant, and wanted to see what embarrassing Du Jian, who had been talking and laughing with him before, would have the feeling of embarrassment when facing the King of Wu. Who knew that Du Jia was not timid, just like chatting with his friends, it seemed easier than facing him.
Li Tianrun couldn't help but think in his heart, could this Du Jia be a natural king?
At this time, after Fang La and Du Jia said another polite words, Du Jia decided to go straight to the point. He had already had a general understanding of the temperament and personality of the legendary figure Fang La. If he continued to chat, it would be a waste of time. He didn't think that Fang La could spend a lot of time for him in his current position.
So Du Jia coughed gently and said, "Master, although we have met again, I feel that I feel like the King as usual at first sight and are very close to him. I have a plan to cooperate with both parties. I wonder if the King is interested?"
Li Tianrun was stunned by the hearing. Du Jia talked completely as if he was equal to Fang La. If he had only had tone and posture before, it would be all-round now. According to his understanding, even if Du Jia wanted to cooperate with him, he would speak as a subordinate or vassal. It was definitely not like this now. He hurriedly whispered to Fang La: "King, there is a leader of the King of Hei Shui Lake next time. Please pay attention to the time."
But Fang La didn't care about Du Jia's attitude at all. After nodding to Li Tianrun, he asked excitedly: "Oh? I wonder what cooperation is meant by Mr. Jia?"
Du Jia said calmly: "I have also learned some situations on the itinerary of the precious land these days. Now the king is developing very fast in all aspects. Jiangnan has always been rich, so there is naturally no shortage of money and food. However, military supplies such as war horses, weapons, etc. seem to be a little stretched. I wonder what I said is correct?"
Fang La nodded, and his expression obviously had a little more praise than before. He was also a smart person. From these words, we can see that Du Jia's vision and pattern are very lofty. He is definitely not comparable to those heroes who only know how to be happy to kill people, drink happily, drink wine today, and get drunk every day, and spend a day.
You should know that this large-scale military operation is not like a rebellion of hundreds of people. If you shoot a shot and change the place, it depends entirely on the weather. He must have a clear goal for future development, and also form a solid industrial chain in terms of equipment, supply, logistics, funding sources, etc., which is indispensable. Otherwise, it is OK when it goes well. Once you encounter some risks, it will be like building a house on the beach and it will collapse suddenly.
Fang La's career development is indeed at its peak now, and it controls millions of people in six prefectures and forty-two counties - especially Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, and there is no shortage of silver and silver for the time being, and there is even a surplus. However, Du Jia is also talking about Fang La's pain point, that is, there is too little military supplies here, because most of the iron ore, copper ore, forging factories, weapons factories, horses, horse training farms, etc. are almost all in the north. Most of the things they have in their hands were seized from the hands of officers and soldiers and warehouses at that time, and a small part of them were purchased everywhere.
However, those numbers are fixed, and their troops are constantly expanding. Moreover, these weapons are not done once and for all and will never be damaged. They must be maintained, repaired and maintained continuously. Now the inventory is almost used, so it seems that Fang La's team is full of soldiers and food, and the weapons and equipment are also very well-equipped. In fact, they are deliberately released for people outside - especially those from Tian Hu and Wang Qing. In fact, the senior executives on Fang La understand that once a year or two, there will be a big gap in the military, and there will be big trouble.
