Chapter 165: Memories of Youyou
Fu Mang took another sip of wine, and the wind blew, and the edge of the green cliff in the northwest seemed to be less bleak.
The wine slowly slid down his throat, and Fu Mang raised the pot to fill the wine, but suddenly poured the whole cup of elixir into the loess.
"This glass of wine...... Let's think of it as Brother Ling. ”
"General Fu, do you still have sympathy with your brother?" Xi Yan's tone was a little sarcastic, and Fu Mang could hear it.
Fu Mang didn't answer, he recalled the almost shattered pictures in his memory, when he was in Da Zhao Chongdu, he picked up a group of Da Zhao Wuchen with his sword, only Xi Luan stepped forward and defeated himself under his sword within a hundred moves......
When I saw him again later, the determined young man ...... But the spirit is gone, only endless depth and scheming remain...... Even on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, when Xi Yanxing was about to break into the house, he could immediately pick up the spiritual seat of his deceased wife, and then pretend to tell those past without shock.
That high-spirited young man is dead after all.
Speaking of which, maybe even Fu Mang didn't believe it, he and he really felt sorry for each other on the battlefield and in the battle.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were in an enemy country, Fu Mang even felt that he would become friends with Xi Luan.
"It's a pity that Brother Ling is talented...... Succeeded and died, he wrote a history book, you are a prince, he! It's a pity that he is a rebel and a thief. ”
"General Fu doesn't have to be like this," an obvious sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Xi Yan's lips, "Before my brother drank the donkey, he told me that he didn't care about this, and besides, Northern Qin made such a contribution, just to use his hand to split Great Zhao and get back the rivers and mountains that were lost a hundred years ago." Who is the profit of the fisherman...... Would you not want it? As a big country, Northern Qin will only do this unsightly thing. ”
"Do you think my ambition in Northern Qin is only here?" Fu Mang suddenly became excited, suddenly got up, glared at Xi Yan and said, "Xiajin Guannei!" is where the real abundance lies! ”
Xi Yan looked at him coldly, and said with a slight smile: "It's a pity, isn't Xi here?" I'm afraid that the general's long-cherished wish to trample on my mountains and rivers will be in vain. ”
"Just your Southwest Army?" Fu Mang seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "Let me tell you the truth, letting you leave in front of Jincheng that day was just a bad name for the deceased, and he was infamous for treachery." ”
"Really?" Xi Yan was still indifferent, "Actually, the purpose of your Northern Qin is just to let me divide Lingjiang and split Great Zhao, why do you have to say it so high-sounding?" ”
Fu Mang sneered contemptuously, obviously admitting.
The alliance he made with Xi Luan was only known to the Northern Qin people and Xi Luan, and after Xi Luan's death, if Fu Mang killed Xi Yan, no one would come out to accuse him, let alone speak for Xi Yan.
"Since you are bent on breaking the words, then the general might as well say it clearly," Fu Mang paused and looked at Xi Yan defiantly, "As early as a few days ago, hundreds of thousands of troops from my Northern Qin had already driven to the northwest one after another!" Last time, I could have let you go, but this time, you can't go! ”
In the face of the seemingly low-hanging fruit, Fu Mang still couldn't hold back, and told him about Northern Qin's ambitions.
But Xi Yan's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled lightly: "But General Fu seems to have forgotten, aren't you still here?" Aren't you afraid that if I give an order, you will be shot into a hedgehog? ”
"Hahahahaha," Fu Mang laughed wildly on his back a few times, with no fear on his face, "You underestimate me Fu Mang too much, for the hegemony of Northern Qin, what is it to kill me Fu Mang?" With me alone exchanging Da Zhao and Lingjiang for thousands of miles, this deal is really cost-effective! ”
"General Fu is too careful, although you came with the heart of death, but what good will it do me to kill you?"
"You don't want revenge?" Fu Mang's brows suddenly furrowed, he really didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Xi Yan didn't care about the humiliation he suffered in front of Jincheng at all, he didn't care about his brother's death, he had his own reasons.
"What hatred? Killing you will only turn Xiahou He into a frightened bird, and if he leads his troops to forcibly break through, I don't want to see the situation become like this. Xi Yan lifted the wine jug again and filled the wine glass in front of the two, "I can still let you go, come on...... I am no longer Da Zhao's courtier, and today I ...... It's not to compete with you for the benefit of the lips and tongue. It's just that I've always been curious about how Bei Qin knew his brother's mind and was able to form an alliance with him. Can the general solve his doubts? ”
"I'm naturally happy to tell you," Fu Mang sat back on the stone at this time, and took a big sip of wine, "It was Brother Ling who found us first......"
Seeing Xi Yan's puzzled looks, Fu Mang then explained, "There are people in this world, and people like Brother Ling, there are always many people who are willing to drive him away, not to mention how many cronies he had in the army back then. ”
Xi Yan nodded approvingly, he knew that his brother was twelve years older than him, and two years before his brother was crowned, all the local armies in Lingjiang were still the Xi family's family army, and his brother had also taken over the care; And after he was crowned and joined, he also experienced many years in the army, so it can be said that he ...... Xi Luan has been fighting with the army all his life. With his prestige, there are naturally many people who are willing to do things for him, even if they send a letter to the Northern Qin people, his subordinates will not hesitate.
Thinking of this, Xi Yan looked at Fu Mang again and asked, "The cronies you refer to, such as my current lieutenant?" ”
"It's not him," Fu Mang knew that he was talking about Liu Peiqi, "it's a Lingjiang person." ”
Xi Yan smiled slightly, but stopped asking.
The mountain wind blew the robes of the two, and neither of them spoke, but the two sat opposite each other, drinking one sip after another.
Xi Yan didn't know what he was thinking, and the questionable question had already been answered, but he seemed to have completely let go, and he didn't arouse much reaction in his heart, and the whole person was just empty.
And Fu Mang was thinking about the things when he dealt with Xi Luan in the past, and the memories that had faded were regained at this time, and Fu Mang's heart still made some waves.
The past is long, just when Fu Mang is reminiscing, Xiahou He in the Northern Qin military camp is sitting on pins and needles.
Fu Mang has been gone for two hours, if Xi Yan only wants to ask Xi Luan's past, one hour is enough......
Xiahou He is suspicious by nature, and he can't help but think about the worst at the moment.
"Your Highness, in the tent of General Fu's camp, a box was found."
It was Xiahou He's personal soldiers who came to report, not long after Fu Mang left, Xiahou He sent someone to search his camp, the relationship between Fu Mang and Da Zhao, Xiahou He still knew a little, for this general who did not belong to his own camp in the court battle, Xiahou He did not trust him from the bottom of his heart, and spared no effort to take the opportunity to pull him off the horse and weaken the power of other princes.
What's more, the army of Northern Qin ...... has already set off from the country, and Xiahou He already has a reliance in his heart.
"Open."
The copper lock on the wooden box was split, and a pile of letters was revealed, and Xiahou He opened them one by one, but they were all small talk, but the final payment of each letter was actually a Luan character.
Looking at the past one by one, Xiahou He's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Put it back as it is, and pass it on to the lieutenants to see me in the future."
Xiahou He had already thought about it, and he couldn't leave Fu Mang now, so he wasn't ready to startle the snake, but for this general...... Xiahou He will not listen to his opinion again.
