Chapter 618: There are so many spring and autumn dreams in this world
Chapter 618 There are many spring and autumn dreams in this world
The hall was a little deserted, and although there were a lot of people, the atmosphere was like this. The two feudal officials of the Great Sui Empire came to the door in person, which is a big deal, but here, their identities are ordinary guests. The subordinates served tea very politely, and their attitude was very respectful, but these two feudal officials could see that the people here did not have the slightest awe for them.
The young man sitting in the handsome seat also had a gentle smile on his face, and spoke politely, but they could also see that the young man did not have the slightest reverence for them either.
Perhaps because of this coldness hidden under politeness but exposed, Chi Haonian and Zhong Xin felt a little uncomfortable. The two of them looked at each other, not knowing how to speak. Where are people of their status, aren't they hugging each other? Even when the Great Sui was at its strongest, when they went to Beijing to report on their work, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui would greet them.
So for a moment, Zhong Xin even wanted to walk away.
But people like them naturally don't really do this.
"Along the way, General Fang really managed the army well."
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Chi Haonian smiled and said: "The soldiers are broad and well-trained. Watching the troops and knowing the generals, this alone shows that General Fang is an unborn masterpiece. When General Fang went to Yongzhou with the holy order, I wanted to visit, but I was entangled in official business and couldn't be available, and I felt a lot of regret in my heart. When I finally saw General Fang today, I forgot a regret in my heart. ”
Fang Xie smiled and said: "I have already heard of the good name of the adult, but I have been running around all directions, so I have no chance to ask for it." Today, the two adults are coming together, and my Black Flag Army camp is full of brilliance, and I am very happy to go down to myself. ”
After saying a few polite words, Chi Haonian couldn't find a suitable entry point to talk about business, he glanced at Wu Yiyi, who was sitting opposite and drinking tea with his head down, and suddenly found a path.
"The last time I saw Sanjin Hou was six years ago when I went to Chang'an to face the saint. I haven't seen him for six years, and the style of Sanjin Hou is still the same. I didn't expect to see the old man in General Fang's camp, and I was even happier in my heart. ”
Wu Yiyi smiled and said, "Last time, the adults said goodbye in a hurry, and they didn't say a few words. Today, when you arrive at Suzaku Mountain, you can't leave in a hurry, the general has already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and you should not get drunk today. ”
"Good"
Chi Haonian smiled, and the other party hugged his fists and said, "There is General Lao to entertain you." ”
He naturally changed the previous title of Fang Xie from General Fang to General, since he arrived at other people's territory, he had to follow other people's thoughts, which was the most basic truth. Regardless of whether this great general is justified or not, it doesn't matter in this world anymore. With the current forces in his hands, Mo said that he claimed to be a general, even if he established himself as a king, who could manage it?
Zhong Xin originally thought that Fang Xie was in the Black Flag Army camp outside Liangcheng, but later thought that Fang Xie was in the Black Flag Army outside Hui'an City. Now I know that it turns out that this rising star of the Great Sui has always been in the camp of Suzaku Mountain. In this way, Zhong Xin was actually very uncomfortable in his heart. There is a feeling of being despised by others, as if I am facing a great enemy, and I am always at home as if there is nothing to do.
The most awkward thing for him is that even if he pays enough attention to it, he still falls for the solution.
Fang Xie put on a posture of pressing the border with large soldiers in Liangcheng, Hui'an, and Wuxing, and also sent a Sun Kaidao, who did not give an inch, to negotiate with them seriously, but in a blink of an eye, a cavalry of the Black Flag Army was already making trouble in a circle in Beihui Road. That cavalry was not there to conquer the city or even to grab money and food, but only to arrest people and disgust him. Fang Xie can be regarded as a hero now, but he actually sent an elite cavalry to do such a thing that only bandits do, he looked down on him.
But looking down on it is looking down on it, and this method really gives him a headache.
Chi Haonian said to Wu Yiyi: "When you and I met in the capital that day, I once sighed that Dasui lacked nothing, except a few young talents who were convincing from the heart. At that time, the Great Sui was still stable, but there were indeed no amazing people in the younger generation. Who would have thought that before I finished speaking, the name of the general began to be known. After all, among the young people, the general should be the leader. ”
Wu Yiyi smiled: "I remember that I told the adults that day that there is no shortage of young and promising people in Dasui, but most of them have been buried in such a situation. But compared with my general, they are still too much worse after all. ”
Chi Haonian finally found a gap to open the topic, so he naturally couldn't let it go: "Yes...... A while ago, there was a disaster in southern Xinjiang, I sent people to Jiangnan to ask for help, and those young generals who led the troops said that they would not dare to leave their posts without the emperor's order, in fact, the first is that they do not have the courage and spirit to defend the country against the enemy, and secondly, they are afraid of damaging their own strength, such people, in the end, will not have any great success......
At this point, the topic seems to have become clear.
Zhong Xin smiled and said: "The general is strong and strong, and he cleaned up the bandits in Huangyang Road for the imperial court, and in less than a year, he wiped out the bandits in the entire Huangyang Road." How can they compare with the generals. ”
Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't help but make others comfortable in his words.
Fang Xie pretended to be stunned: "What did the two adults say just now?" Trouble in southern Xinjiang? ”
He took a sip of tea and asked, "What happened in Southern Xinjiang?" ”
"It turns out that the general doesn't know yet!"
Chi Haonian stood up, and said with an angry face that Murong Yan and King Su jointly invaded Pingshangdao, his words were fierce and his expression was indignant, if he only looked at him now, no one would suspect that he was not a loyal minister of the Great Sui. The expression of righteous indignation made people feel as if he was eager to bite Murong shame to death.
Fang Xie slapped the table and said angrily after hearing this: "How can this be true! Murong Yan is really a shameless villain! If it weren't for the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Sui, the land of Nanyan would have been the twenty-fifth country of the Great Sui! And those lowly people, could it be that they still want to restore their status when they were in the Shang Kingdom?! ”
Chi Haonian can act, but he doesn't know that the guy sitting in the handsome seat has been singing Baimenlou with a group of old men in the park since he was a child, and how can he be bad when he talks about acting skills?
……
……
Three hundred miles south of Yongzhou
Meizhu Town
The once prosperous town has been completely destroyed by the Su people, the ruins are broken, the flames on the roofs are still rising, and there are the desolate wails of women and the sinister smiles of men in the corners. A ** woman ran out crying, but was chased by several Su men and pulled back to the shadows after being punched and kicked, begging was meaningless.
I could see through the gap in the surrounding crowd that the two white thighs were forcibly separated, and the constant kicking and beating were to no avail.
At the entrance of the town, a group of people laughed wildly and slaughtered the ploughing cattle and then hung them on the fire to roast, and soon the smell of meat wafted out. The men of the Su tribe are full of joy while singing strange songs and dancing around the roast cow.
A man of the Su tribe standing on the roof suddenly noticed some movement in the firewood pile on the corner of the street, he immediately pointed and shouted to that side, and immediately more than a dozen men of the Su tribe ran over, some people wanted to pick up the firewood but were stopped, after they chattered, someone immediately set the firewood on fire.
When the flames rise, a little girl can be seen trying to drill out, but is stabbed back with a stick by the Su man until the flames are extinguished. Someone used a wooden stick to pick up the ashes, revealing two charred corpses hugging each other, but it was vaguely discernible that it was a teenage girl holding a four or five-year-old boy in her arms.
The men laughed, and some unbuttoned their pants and urinated on the corpses.
The whole town was filled with such violence, which made people shudder.
A toast-like man of the Su tribe was surrounded into the town, and a dozen women knelt side by side in the open space at the entrance of the village, bound in a sturdy knot and stuffed with rags in their mouths. They looked at these Su people in animal skin clothes in horror, and they didn't even dare to struggle.
Toast walked around in front of the dozen or so women, pointed at the two of the most delicate girls casually, and then turned away. Immediately someone came up and carried the two maidens behind Toast and walked into the village. When Tusi left, the men cheered, and hundreds of people rushed up to rob the remaining women. Soon, their clothes were torn, their hair was scratched off, and their fair bodies were covered with scars one by one.
A man in a white robe stood silently from a distance and watched all this, as if it had nothing to do with him. His face was calm, there was no emotion in his eyes, no sadness and no joy.
"Sect Master, isn't it good to do this?"
Behind him stood dozens of men in linen robes, carrying not the spears used by the Su people, but the standard horizontal knives of the Great Sui. They called the man in the white robe the Sect Master, and their tone was respectful.
"Bad?"
The man known as the sect leader shook his head and said indifferently: "There is no good or bad in this world, there is no good and evil, only success or failure. These Su people have been oppressed for a hundred years, and if they are not allowed to vent their resentment in their hearts, how can they be of use to me? What I wanted was never a sect, but to restore the glory of my Great Shang Empire. Nanyan Murong is ashamed that slut cheated everything out of me in the first place, and the Sui people ruined my country...... I'm going to take it back, and I'm going to get it back in its original form. ”
"Let them vent, more than a hundred years ago, they originally had a very noble status, and they were good friends of my big business country. But after the Sui people came, they became slaves. If it were you, the shame of more than 100 years would have exploded. Let them get the benefit, and they will be obedient. ”
"......"
One person shook his head: "But the disciple doesn't understand, these people should be our relatives, right?" ”
The man known as the sect leader was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked over and took the shoulder of the questioning man: "Your ancestor is the general of the Sanpin Hussars of the Great Shang Kingdom, who died in the decisive battle with the Sui people, and he shed the last drop of blood for the Great Shang Kingdom, and he did not bow his head in the end...... I really didn't think you would say such a thing, it disappoints me so much. ”
He poked the man's heart with the hilt of his knife: "In order to rebuild the Great Shang, we can still sacrifice, and these people who have already become vassals to Sui will naturally have to be sacrificed." I don't want to hear anything like that again, I just want you to remember my commands and your mission. ”
He let go of his hand, and the man crouched down in pain.
The sect leader looked at the north and opened his arms: "Yongzhou...... The capital of the Great Merchants, I'm coming back. ”
The rest of the people looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything more.
The fire in the town was still burning, and the men were still laughing, but no other sounds could be heard. A young and delicate corpse, covered in wounds and dirt, was dragged out of a corner and thrown into the fire. She tilted her head back and opened her eyes, as if glaring fiercely at the man in the white robe.
