Chapter 38 Alone

On that day, the king of Chu was only a piece of paper, and he took the authority of the marquis, and the heart of the armor was secretly lurked in the palace, which was clear to the world. With such a monarch and such a country, why should he be loyal again? My Royal Highness has always loved and cherished talents. If Fang Hou can come to vote, he will definitely be respected as the deputy marshal. ”

Liu Heng said sarcastically, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What I said was all for Fang Hou's good." ”

Fang Qingchen's heart was bored. I'm really not afraid that he will kill him. Unfortunately, he really couldn't kill him.

The tent was silent for a moment, Ling Fang came back to his senses, roared and drew his sword, and the sergeant next to him was also extremely angry, and rushed over to pull Liu Heng off the bed, forcing him to kneel and make amends.

Fang Qingchen frowned, stopped Ling Fang with cold eyes, and at the same time shouted: "Zhang Shan!" Retire! ”

The sergeant who pounced on and pulled Liu Heng grinded his teeth and retreated reluctantly, his face still full of indignation.

Liu Heng's expression remained unchanged, Zhao Wangchen peeked at Fang Qingchen, and saw that his master was told about the tragic things of the year, so humiliated, and his face was still peaceful.

Fang Qingchen smiled slightly: "That piece of paper that day was wonderful, but I don't know who wrote it?" ”

Liu Heng said calmly: "At the beginning, Fang Hou's clever strategy was unparalleled, and our army suffered heavy casualties, so I offered this strategy. At first, His Royal Highness still looked forward to a dignified battle with Fang Hou on the battlefield, and was unwilling to agree. In front of all the generals, I reprimanded His Highness, do you want to use the lives of all the soldiers of the army to fulfill his martial honors? His Royal Highness was speechless and carried out according to the plan. ”

In a few words, he took all the blame for his own crimes, and lightly hated everyone in the account.

Fang Qingchen's pain in this life started from this letter, and when he heard the reason today, he just smiled: "It's unbelievable." You did it that day. Qin Xufei is not allowed to affect the whole army for his personal will. How wise. Yesterday you didn't want to draw a sword out of my back, wouldn't you ......?"

Liu Heng's momentum was weak. The art of war is jealous and benevolent, and his momentary hesitation is really ridiculous to say. However......

Ice and snow are calm, calmly trade-offs, is very good. It should be. It's just that he is still a person after all. If you are human, there will always be limits. The perfect art of war, isn't it just on paper? Killing a person on paper and killing someone with your own hands is reaching out to help. People who are close to each other are different after all.

This is naturally unadmitted. He smiled casually: "I was tired from fighting for a long time, and my mind was confused, so I never used my sword. If my mind were clear, I would not have drawn a sword. So, in the end, it's no different. ”

Oh, yes. If he hadn't been exhausted at that time, how could he not have judged. He actually didn't really hurt Fang Qingchen at all. All his thoughts were in the eyes of this person, how could this person really expose his back to him defenselessly.

The two looked at each other. Fang Qingchen smiled and sighed. The letter of the day. The result is not the misery of his life, but the seeds of suspicion and suspicion have already been planted. Without a letter from Liu Heng, there would also be rumors from Zhang San and a secret letter from Li Si. But it's just a trigger, so why be angry.

"Shameless!"

Someone next to him was furious.

Liu Heng raised his eyebrows, almost looking at Zhao Wangchen with a pale face with an elder's inclusive eyes: "Little general, you are still young, wait for a few more years in the military camp, many things, you will understand." ”

"Understand what?" Zhao Wangchen's teeth creaked: "Understand how proud it is to frame a warrior?" Understand how heroic it is to invade other people's land, kill other people's fathers and brothers, and let many people die of hunger and cold, and be homeless? ”

Seeing Zhao Wangchen's thin body trembling with anger, Liu Heng was also slightly apologetic.

"Little general, we are soldiers, not good people. Soldiers, after all, are going to kill. Not slaughtering the people of the enemy country is already the limit. He shook his head. The sufferings of the Chu people should not all be counted on our heads. Before our army invaded the Chu realm, your side was already in turmoil and internal strife. After our Qin army unified the northern land, at least, half of the people of Chu will live a little more stable......"

Fang Qingchen smiled and waved at Liu Heng: "Yes, I almost forgot that the banner that His Royal Highness Qin State made when he entered Chu was to help the King of Chu quell the rebellion and save the people of Chu from fire and water." I should thank Qin Jundi for his great kindness on behalf of the Chu people. ”

Liu Heng's face was slightly red, he endured the pain, got up to give a salute, and said with a wry smile; "It's my rudeness. Fang Hou is a clear-eyed person, and those words of self-deception don't need to be said in front of you. It's just a slogan. However, Chu Qiang invaded Qin, and Qin Qiang invaded Chu, the soldiers and the minions of the country. It is your duty and my duty to protect the people of the land. In addition, if the country is strong and the king is ambitious, he should also conquer the world, expand the territory and open up the territory, and show the true colors of a man! Fang Hou! You say yes and no! ”

The people in the tent were speechless for a moment. Liu Heng is telling the truth. This troubled world is originally the law of the jungle, and everything else is fart. Among them, who served in the army, did not have the ambition to expand the territory and open up the territory. To put it bluntly, to put it bluntly, if your country fights in its own nest, it deserves to be bullied by foreign enemies. It's just that when such words are spoken by the enemy, it still makes people's hearts feel bad.

Fang Qingchen's voice was lazy: "I won't serve that kind of edict, I won't invade other people's land, and I won't be proud of it." I may resist the decree, I may resign, or I may ......" He smiled lightly, with a little self-deprecation: "If it is the current deposed emperor who makes the decree, I will try my best to persuade him to change his mind, but ......" His eyes were far away. "But I probably can't persuade me anymore."

His expression was strange, but his voice was so sincere that one could not doubt his credibility at all. So all the people in the tent looked at him together, and their expressions were alienated, as if they had seen a monster.

Fang Qingchen had to smile bitterly.

Back then, he repelled the Qin army, but did not counterattack the Qin State, although he wanted to recuperate for the Chu State, but it was not because he was always very repulsive to the countries that invaded others in his bones. Each era has its own standards of right and wrong. His standard of right and wrong is always a bit out of step with this era.

Whether it is Ling Fang, Liu Heng, Zhuo Lingyun, Xiao Yuanfeng, or even Qin Xufei, the outstanding soldiers of this era, when they bully the people, or are unable to protect their own people, they will feel humiliated and embarrassed by their own dereliction of duty. But I know that the war is chaotic together. The people will suffer, and they will be at peace when they wage war. They will denounce the Shuntian army as despicable and shameless because they drove the people to death, but they will also regard the soldiers who killed the most people as heroes in the army after the Battle of the Earth.

That's kind of ...... Samurai spirit? Chivalry? Military pride? Heroic romanticism?

……

He is not qualified to comment on this wild world, rob

Good survival resources for people. He also knew it, and knew that he could give it a proper label, but he couldn't make it his own.

Ling Fang thought that he was dead, and Zhuo Lingyun could bend his knees in front of him. Qin Xufei can be a hero with him, Chu ...... Chu Ruohong was also very close to him, however, in this world, no one really understands him.

He loved people so hard, he tried so hard to fit in. Even after Zhuo Lingyun knelt down, he tried so hard to protect everyone. However. At this moment, he was so clearly aware that he was still an outsider.

In this world, he is destined to be lonely.

He shook his head slowly: "Don't look at me like that. I said that, but I didn't say I was right. ”

His expression was a little indifferent after all. Suddenly there was some inexplicable boredom in my heart. I don't want to be intrigued anymore.

"General Liu, rest well."

He nodded out of the door, behind him. Liu Heng's voice was hoarse and low: "Fang Hou, whether you believe it or not, that plan back then, His Royal Highness and I just wanted to temporarily transfer you away from the border pass, but I didn't expect that it would harm you so far." ”

Fang Qingchen stood quietly outside the tent and never looked back: "What's the difference!" ”

Doubts have been born, jealousy has been deep, hearts have passed, and love has been exhausted! What's the difference?

Liu Heng opened his mouth and looked at his indifferent back, not knowing what he was thinking, but he also felt heartache.

Fang Qingchen walked forward, walked out for a long time, and suddenly stopped and called: "Forget the dust." ”

Zhao Wangchen replied in a low voice behind him.

"These days, I know how diligent you are in practicing literature and martial arts. I am very pleased that you are in the army, carefully observing the records and studying everything carefully. ”

Zhao Wangchen was stunned, Fang Qingchen had never praised him before.

"Suddenly became a general, and suddenly had to bear the life and death of thousands of people, and anyone with a sense of responsibility will redouble his efforts and intentions. Since I have made you a general, have you learned and remembered much more than when you were in the army before? ”

Zhao Wangchen pondered carefully in a daze, and was speechless for a while.

"If you think that everything you get is just staining my ground, you are even more angry. Make your own achievements and let the world know that what you get is what you deserve. If you don't like everyone pointing at you and saying that you are Fang Qingchen's apprentice, just do a good job and show me! Maybe ten years from now, everyone will point to me and say, this is Zhao Wangchen's master! ”

Fang Qingchen didn't look back, Zhao Wangchen stared at his back blankly, couldn't suppress the sudden surge of blood in his chest, and shouted: "Okay!" ”

"So, now do you have the courage to cross the river and meet the number one enemy of our Chu people, and be a messenger for me?"

Zhao Wangchen straightened his chest: "The last general will take the order." ”

Fang Qingchen took out a letter that had already been written from the bottom of his sleeve and handed it back.

Zhao Wangchen took it with both hands. I heard a faint command in my ear: "Go." ”

Zhao Wangchen clenched his fists slightly, turned around and retreated.

From beginning to end, Fang Qingchen never turned around, never looked at him.

――――――――――――――

Half an hour later, Zhao Wangchen was already standing in the main tent of the Qin army.

Seeing that Qin Xufei, who was rumored to be a three-headed and six-armed demon reincarnated by the Chu people, was so young and heroic, he was slightly surprised, but the expression on his face was indifferent. Walking all the way from Jiangbei to the commander of the Qin army, seeing the golden and strict military discipline all the way, this young man who first entered the battlefield felt a slight heart, but he was never frightened or afraid. Standing calmly in the majestic tent of the Chinese army, he bowed deeply but did not bow down, neither humble nor arrogant, and his hands presented a handwritten letter with light dust above.

In the face of this letter, which all the Qin troops have been waiting for without sleep, no one will care about the etiquette of the next year. Qin Xufei unfolded the letter, glanced at ten lines, skipped all the routine polite explanations, saw the conditions below, groaned slightly, raised his head and said with a smile: "Please take a break in our army, the matter is big, how about I discuss with everyone and make a decision?" ”

"The last general has been ordered to come, and he should wait for the reply of His Highness."

Qin Xufei smiled and waved his hand, and let the sergeant lead Zhao Wangchen to rest.

As soon as the outsiders left, all the generals in the tent looked at Qin Xufei with blank eyes.

Qin Xufei didn't say a word, only handed out the letter in his hand. A letter was passed in the hands of a dry general. Most smiles quickly spread across their faces.

"Originally, I was worried that he would open his mouth, how much grain, grass, horses, money, and territory he wanted, but he only needed an emperor who went crazy?"

"This man is stupid! He welcomed people back with great fanfare, the puppet emperor he set up must be uncomfortable, and Xiao Yuanfeng, who has the merit of supporting him, must also be beating a drum in his heart. The Chu army is unstable, which is very good for us! ”

A rough man slapped the table: "Anyway, they have a new emperor now, and it is a waste of food for that madman to keep it, let's quickly change General Liu back!" ”

A few disapproving glances came around him, and he didn't know what he had said wrong.

Qin Xufei sat quietly behind the handsome case, and only asked for a long time: "Since the Chu State no longer needs a madman emperor, since that person has lost him, since it is harmful to him after rescuing people, why, he has such a good chip in his hand, but he only needs to change a madman who will drag him down?" Fang Qingchen, is he a fool? ”

There was a moment of silence in the tent, and everyone looked at each other.
