(Ask for a commuter pass)

Chapter 473 is that direction

"I still haven't figured it out......"

Mou Liangbi looked at the pipe hanging from Fang Jie's waist, and stretched out his hand to hand it to him. Fang Xie didn't refuse, he took it down, stuffed the tobacco and lit it, first took a puff and then handed it to Mou Liangbi: "Didn't you understand anything?" ”

"You didn't know I was going to kill you, why did you suddenly notice it? It's just a day, my advantage is fleeting, how the hell did you think of it? I did seem a little anxious to invite you to the cottage for a drink, but that doesn't prove that I have murderous intentions towards you. Obviously the advantage is in my hands, why did you win? ”

"Because you don't know your opponent."

Fang Xie smiled lightly: "Let me ask you a question, how many people in this world can reach the ninth rank of martial arts cultivation, do you know?" ”

Mou Liangbi shook his head: "I don't know much about martial arts, but I've heard people say that there are no more than 100 people above the nine grades in the world." If a cultivator reaches the ninth grade, has the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, has the ability to move thousands of miles in an instant, kills people like a backhand, and takes life like a bag, even His Majesty must treat him with courtesy. ”

"It's not that exaggerated, but the Nine Rank Masters are really strong. I don't know how many people in the world have cultivated to reach the ninth grade, I only know that I have two nine rank masters under my command. You send people to guard against the scouts in the army, but you can't prevent the Nine Rank masters from exploring the camp. On the night that you sent someone to invite me to the cottage, my people went into the cottage and found out that you had imprisoned Mou Liangbi. And I have not only a strong man in martial arts, but also a wise man named Sun Kaidao. He saw at least three suspicions from the fact that you had invited me to drink, and thus deduced that His Majesty might have made a will. ”

"Your imprisonment of Cui Zhongzhen is the biggest mistake. If Choi Zhongzhen is still free, I may actually come to the appointment. ”

Mou Liangbi was stunned, and then shook his head: "Then you send someone to contact Wanyan Chongde and agree to let him help you play a play to drag me down." Then let people pretend to be Qincha and announce the decree in public, this is the false and real attack in the art of war, admire. ”

"You're welcome"

Fang explained: "If you don't want to kill me, how can I want to kill you?" I led people to retreat to Fangu, but I didn't want to have a stalemate with you. Regarding the rebels' western camp, I had advised myself not to care. But you just feel that I don't feel at ease if you don't get rid of me, so it's most appropriate to use these four words on you. ”

Mou Liangbi laughed at himself: "If Your Majesty's will is not met, I have no intention of killing you." You should know what I'm looking forward to the most, so it's really a matter of circumstance to kill you. I'm different from you, you're young and I'm fifty years old. If you can't turn over on the northwest battlefield, you will return to the capital and end up as a common person. I spent more than a decade in prison before I had a chance to revive my old ambitions, how could I give up? ”

Fang explained: "What do you mean by this, I have a reason to forgive you?" ”

Mou Liangbi said seriously: "What I mean by this is that I have a reason to kill you. ”

Because of the cold, Mou Liangbi took a puff of his pipe, but his body trembled even more: "Now I finally know that the former sage said that there are talented people in the country." I'm not old enough to be compared to you young people. Li Xiaozong is ruthless enough, you are decisive enough, I am a step behind each other. ”

Fang explained: "Don't blame yourself, this is a waste of your little time." ”

"I'm trying to be a ghost."

Mou Liangbi was silent for a while and asked tentatively: "It's useless for you to kill me, it's better to leave me to give you advice." It's that I'm in a cage, and as long as I don't die, I can still help you understand many things. And the soldiers will also say that you are lenient, what do you think? ”

Fang Xie sighed: "I want you to point at my nose and scold, and then die generously...... In that case, I will occasionally think of you in the future, and I will praise you as a character. ”

Mou Liangbi shook his head: "Who is not afraid of death?" ”

Fang Xie snorted: "I will be a little disappointed that you failed to die generously, but I will not look down on you because you are afraid of death." There is only one life, let alone real death, just thinking about death in your spare time will frighten many people. ”

"If you were me at this time, would you beg for mercy?"

Mou Liangbi asked.

Fang Xie smiled: "The first thing to tell you is that I am also afraid of death, if you think about it carefully, I am probably more afraid of death than you." But the difference between you and me is that we will never beg for mercy when I know that I am going to die. There is not much left of human dignity that has been trampled on, and if you can't die with dignity and solemnity, how sorry is it? ”

Mou Liangbi was silent and said no more.

Fang Xie got up, handed the small bag of tobacco to Mou Liangbi, and then took off the big bag on his body and covered him: "I will send someone to bring wine and food later, you can tell me what you want to eat now." ”

"Wine and meat are enough."

Mou Liangbi replied.

Fang Xie nodded, turned around and walked outside the cave.

"Fang Jie, can I ask you something."

Mou Liangbi looked at Fang Jie's back and said.

Fang Xie stood but didn't look back: "You ask." ”

"You really don't have a desire for military power? With this military power, are you really just serving for the imperial court? Are you really loyal to Your Majesty? Do you really have no ambition in mind? ”

Fang Xie laughed and walked out.

"Guess?"

He smiled and said two words, and strode away without any more thought.

Mou Liangbi watched the young man's figure disappear from sight, and after a long silence, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "I lost, is it because my wish is too small?" ”

……

……

Mou Liangbi died.

After all, he still didn't have the heart to hit the stone himself, so he asked the flying fish robe guarding the door for help. The flying fish robe glanced at him with some disdain, pointed to the large and small stones in the cave and said, "You can choose one for yourself, this is the only thing you can choose now." ”

Mou Liangbi searched for a long time, and the more he looked, the more pale his face became. Later, my hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and I vomited out all the wine and food I had just eaten. Seeing that he was vomiting so badly, the flying fish robe couldn't help but shake his head: "I originally wanted to scold you for killing yourself, but after all, I think you are also a big person, and it is against morality to be humiliated again before you die, so I endured it and didn't scold, but your current appearance really fucking makes me angry...... The more reluctant you are, the more afraid you are, so you might as well just be happy. ”

Mou Liangbi wiped his mouth, and after a long while, he pointed to a stone the size of a watermelon and said, "That's it." ”

The flying fish robe nodded and said, "Well, if you are afraid, just close your eyes, it's just a matter of a moment." ”

Mou Liangbi took off the big coat that Fang Xie gave him, then sat up straight and closed his eyes: "Please be sharp, thank you!" ”

"You're welcome"

The Flying Fish Robe walked over and picked him up, slamming his head twice against the stone wall.

Blood spurted out immediately, staining a large patch of red on the stone wall.

The flying fish robe threw Mou Liangbi's body on the ground, and the corners of his mouth pursed and said to himself: "You fucking stupid me, how can a suicide choose a stone with a big ass to hit and die?" Fools can see that there is something wrong with this kind of thing, if I fall for you, haven't you worn the flying fish robe in vain in the past few years? ”

He clapped his hands and turned to leave.

It was too cold in the northwest, and although the wind in the cave was not strong, the corpse soon became cold and stiff. He lay straight there, and it didn't take long for the blood on his head to freeze. Sustaining life is a long process, and losing life is so short, just a second.

The next day, Fang Xie had the ranks re-registered, and after each battalion counted the number of soldiers, all officers of the sixth rank and above were assembled on the campus. There are tens of thousands of people, and there are hundreds of people above the sixth grade. According to the military system of the Great Sui, the brigade is full of officers, but they are not included in the product. Captain Guoyi, who led a regiment of 300 people, was from Qipin, which was to be registered by the imperial court, and he was led by the imperial court.

Because this contingent was a collection of remnants, the number of officers was quite a bit larger than that of a normally configured army. After all, in the original rout, the survival rate of the general was far higher than that of ordinary soldiers. This is a very cruel fact, and the most basic reason is not only that the personal quality of the generals is higher, but also that the armor on their bodies is better. The leather armor on Captain Guo Yi's body was more than twice as thick as that of ordinary soldiers, and he had heart goggles.

The world is full of hierarchies, and people at the bottom are prone to complaining. There are extreme people who think, "It's all the same person, why are you being treated so much better than me?" Such people often live in this kind of complaint all their lives, and even become more and more unbearable. They ignore that others enjoy these benefits because they work harder than them.

The world is unforgiving, so it's relatively fair.

Fang Xie stood on a high platform and looked at these people, these people who were going to follow him from birth to death in the future. He was silent for a long time, so much so that the people below looked at each other wondering what the new leader was thinking.

"I didn't live through that big war, but I know it wasn't easy for any of you to survive."

Fang Xie was silent for a long time and finally spoke, his tone was very low: "You are all officers, after thinking about it carefully, you may find that the reason why you are alive may be because your former subordinates are desperate to save you." So, the first thing you have to do is to be kind to your soldiers. And now I am standing at the top of here, and in the future my life and death will be decided by you, so ...... I will treat you as you would do to your own subordinates. ”

"It's been nearly three years since that great battle, and many people have died in the intervening years, and there will be more in the future, perhaps one of you, or maybe I am standing here. Yesterday, when I saw the decree, I suddenly felt very frightened in my heart, because I was afraid that I would not be able to bring you well and protect you. I thought about it for a long time, and told myself that the best way to keep you alive was to stay here and wait until the imperial army recovered the entire northwest. ”

"But waiting for someone else to come to your rescue is always just hope. You've been away from home for three years and are you homesick? ”

He asked.

The people below fell silent, and after a long while, a lieutenant whispered a word: "Yes!" ”

Fang Xie nodded: "I don't have a home, but I also miss Chang'an City." If we want to go back, we have to do something to bring this rebellion to an end as quickly as possible. What I thought when I was in Fan Gu was that I would defend this small city, because those Mengyuan barbarians would inevitably go here when they retreated, and I had no other thoughts about these beasts who killed my relatives and kidnapped my family's property, except to talk with a knife. ”

"But now, I have more of you under me, and I have to think about your life and death."

Fang Xie was silent for a while, then raised his head and said in a solemn tone: "If you can trust me, follow me to fight a few beautiful battles." Then return to his hometown with a body of glory and reunite with his loved ones. ”

"General, you say, let's do something!"

Someone shouted.

Fang Xie looked at these people and said seriously: "Just one thing...... Wherever I point my sword, you will slay as I go. I promise, that's the way you're heading home. ”
