Chapter 720: Why Taste the Bitter Fruit

Suddenly, Fang Xuan frowned angrily, is this a civil change?

Although this prime minister has just experienced the Luoyang fiasco, his morale is still very high, and he will not fall to the last moment, unless.

Based on past experience, in addition to external troubles, there are two situations in which the imperial court must be extremely strictly guarded, one is rebellion, and the other is civil rebellion. And the officials who have always been responsible will not have any softness or hesitation on either side.

"The chaotic people dare to attack the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, is this a rebellion? The whole army obeys the order, guards on the spot, and if there is any adventurous person, they will all be shot with crossbow arrows!"

However, the military order that landed soundly did not get a concerted response, but was refuted by the leading captain.

"The public is respectful, the Shenwu army is lawful, and it is never allowed to face the people with swords and arrows!"

Fang Xuan's eyes were like breathing fire, if according to his temperament when leading the troops, someone dared to openly disobey the order, in order to maintain the majesty of the commander, he would not hesitate to behead the public!

"What? Do you think that I, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, can't kill the lieutenant of the Shenwu Army?"

The words have already been said very seriously, and those who are a little timid will inevitably choose to give in under Fang Xuan's powerful aura. However, this captain still looked neither humble nor arrogant, and said:

"If the prime minister kills the last general by law, the last general is willing, and the last general can fight the people with swords and arrows, and the last general will not be able to do it no matter what!"

"Nonsense, is that the people?"

Fang Xuan roared and pointed at the people who were getting closer and closer, "Could it be that they picked up the firewood knife and the axe and wanted the old man to be killed?" Ridiculous, ridiculous, since they chose violence, they are chaotic people, they are thieves, and everyone can get and punish them!"

Despite the sound of the mountain shouted by the prime minister, the captain was unmoved, and only replied calmly:

'The last general will be ordered by the doctor to protect the prime minister, and he will not be dishonored in his mission, so please leave this place with the last general. ’

The lieutenant was about to escape, Fang Xuan looked at him in surprise, thinking that he had a problem with his ears and heard it wrong. Is this still the rumored Shenwu army that is brave and good at fighting? Even the rebellious people retreat! Although there are more than 1,000 people on the other side, there are 200 of them, and they are all cavalry, which is more than enough for one enemy to 10.

"A bunch of cowards, when did the old man say to run away? If you are afraid, you go first!"

Fang Xuan was sure that these guys would not abandon him, so he turned over and got off the horse.

That is, after delaying this sudden effort, the chaotic people chased after them in a hurry, surrounding Fang Xuan and others.

Fang Xuan had his own plans, he didn't believe that the rebels had already put their knives on the neck of the Shenwu Army, and the Shenwu Army would not resist?

After the people surrounded them, they didn't seem to intend to kill indiscriminately, and there was a man who seemed to be the leader, shouting loudly at the top of his voice:

"As long as the old thief Fang Xuan is handed over, we will naturally let all the strong men leave safely!"

At the same time, there are many people who have agreed:

"Yes, hand over Fang Xuan, we don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately! Otherwise, otherwise we would rather go to Dayan than live in the world like this!"

At this time, the captain of the Shenwu Military Academy rushed out of the battle and asked:

"May I ask you blind dates, why do you chase after each other?"

The leader of the rebellious people was full of grief and resentment.

"It's the old thief Fang Xuan, who killed our father and son, and the brothers, don't believe in the strong man and ask, in these ten miles and eight towns, which family has no one killed at the hands of this old thief?"

was scolded by an old thief, Rao is Fang Xuan is accustomed to all kinds of strong winds and waves, and he really couldn't hold his breath, his face was flushed, and he pointed to the people and asked:

"Fang Xuan is a Xu country, how could he have such a blood feud with you?"

"Old thief, have you forgotten how many regiments of soldiers have died in this Heluo land?"

"This ...... If they rebel repeatedly, they deserve to die!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Fang Xuan regretted it a little, knowing that he had stabbed the hornet's nest. Sure enough, the people of the chaos were immediately like a frying pan, and they were excited.

"What is it like to quarrel with this old thief? We are so powerful, kill them in one pot, and when the revenge is avenged, we will go to Dayan!"

"That's right, kill the old thief Fang Xuan!"

Seeing that more and more people were gathering from all directions, Fang Xuan already regretted it, he shouldn't have acted rashly, if he escaped with the captain, why would he be in danger at this time?

Scanning the surroundings of the crowd of people, Fang Xuan couldn't tell the difference between those who were the lively people and the chaotic people who rushed to seek revenge in anger.

At the critical moment, the Shenwu military captain was in danger, and still shouted to the people around him with a calm face:

"Fathers and fellow villagers, please be calm and don't be impatient! A certain is a Shenwu military captain, I believe that Doctor Qin will definitely give you justice! Please don't do a foolish thing that hurts relatives and enemies are happy!"

The people seemed to have a good impression of the Shenwu Army, and when they heard the name of the Shenwu Army, their words seemed to soften.

"We know that the Shenwu Army is for the sake of our people, but if we can't kill the old thief Fang Xuan, how can those unjust souls under the Nine Springs rest in peace?

As he spoke, the leader of the rebels was already crying.

"Kill Fang Xuan, kill Fang Xuan ......"

Soon, the shouting of Fang Xuan became loud. Even if Fang Xuan asked himself with a clear conscience, he was also frightened in this situation!

If everyone said that he could be killed, where would he still have a reason to live? Even if the Son of Heaven was allowed to choose at this time, he would definitely not hesitate to kill the convicted prime minister in order to win back the hearts of the people. Public opinion.

Suddenly, bursts of grievance and sorrow rose from Fang Xuan's chest. This kind of scene is really ironic, he prides himself on being loyal to the country, and he doesn't dare to relax for a moment, and now he has only exchanged for a situation where everyone can be killed!

Of course, Fang Xuan knew very well that after he led the army east out of Tongguan, the number of rebel soldiers killed was at least more than 100,000. These are native people, and their fathers, sons, and brothers together would have at least a million people who would have longed for him to die......

As soon as he thought of this, Fang Xuan suddenly regretted a little, if he hadn't killed most of the rebel soldiers without asking about it, but had taken these people under his command without asking the reason, maybe these people would have a different attitude towards him?

However, there is no regret medicine to take in this world, and all the things that have happened in life have not given him a chance to do it again.

At this point, Fang Xuan suddenly understood why Qin Jin implied that the slow march was related to him, did he refer to this people's anger?

"Please calm down, the last general has already sent someone back to summon the news, and at most half an hour, someone will come to relieve us from the siege. ”

As he pondered, the lieutenant whispered to his side. Fang Xuan nodded subconsciously, but immediately realized that this was a tactful persuasion of himself, not to provoke the rebellious people without concealment, and to delay the time as much as possible, so as to wait for the moment when the reinforcements arrived!

Thinking of this, Fang Xuan felt that his face was burning again, how could his overall situation and concentration not be as good as this district captain? If it weren't for this captain's reminder, maybe he would really have a good theory with those chaotic people. This should be the authorities' fans, and caring about it is chaotic!

At the same time that Fang Xuan was ashamed, Qin Jin also got the news that they were besieged by angry people in the countryside!

At this time, Qin Jin and Yang Xingben were discussing the reorganization of the private sector, because more and more people were admiring the camp, and the military officials available for distribution were already stretched. Now it will take at least a month and a half to transfer from Guanzhong, and far water will not quench the thirst of the near, so only the reorganization can effectively alleviate the problem of manpower shortage!

"Fang Xuan is in trouble, just let him fill his life, why don't they wipe up enough for him?"

Yang Xingben mentioned Fang Xuan completely with resentment, if it weren't for the fact that Fang Xuan had offended too many locals in the Heluo area, the Shenwu Army would not have had countless troubles for no reason.

"Just let him fend for himself!"

Qingxuzi, who was present, finally couldn't help but persuade:

"This can't be helped, if Fang Xuan is allowed to die in the hands of the people, it will only bring more trouble to the Shenwu Army and the doctor!"

Yang Xingben slapped his thigh angrily.

"In other words, even if you don't care about him, you have to relieve the siege of our 200 cavalry!"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to ask Qin Jin again.

"Please rest assured, the last general will leave immediately, and then wipe the butt of the foolish prime minister!"

Without waiting for Qin Jin to answer, Qing Xuzi smiled and said:

"This ass is well rubbed, it is well rubbed, after coming back, General Yang will have to talk to Poor Dao, whether Fang Xianggong's ass is white or black, fat or thin...... Haha......"

Where did Yang Xingben have the kung fu and mood to talk to Qing Xuzi, and he didn't talk much, and after getting Qin Jin's permission, he turned around and left.

Qin Jin didn't expect that Fang Xuan was still so uneasy, and it was less than an hour after he went out, he almost provoked a popular uprising. Doesn't this old guy hit the south wall and doesn't want to turn back?

In the evening, Yang Xingben finally brought back the grizzled Fang Xuan, and looked at the prime minister again, most of his reserve and arrogance had been damaged, and when he met Qin Jin, there was obvious embarrassment on his face. And when Fang Xuan was rescued by the Shenwu Army for the first time on the way to escape, he never had such a look.

Fang Xuan's embarrassment was not without reason, a seemingly inevitable bloody conflict turned decay into magic in Yang Xingben's hands. It can be said that in this sudden crisis, the performance of the generals of the Shenwu Army was remarkable, showing amazing restraint and disposition ability, and the handling was so successful. Looking at himself, he didn't do anything except inadvertently provoke a conflict, so how could he not be ashamed?

Even so, Fang Xuan couldn't make a face to admit his mistakes in front of Qin Jin, and just pretended to say thank you lightly.

Qin Jin suddenly sneered twice and asked:

"Xianggong knows how tricky it is to cook privately at this time, right?"
