Chapter 74: My name is Yuan Feng
Fang Ze's heart was indeed a military disaster.
He asked the scholar some questions again, and the other party had a clear mind and knew a lot, so he answered them one by one.
Soon, from the scholar's words, Fang Ze had a general grasp of the country and the situation he was in now.
Fang Ze is located in the Longkang Kingdom, which is the orthodoxy of the world, and it has been more than 1,600 years since Taizu won the country.
Long Kang was originally a kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the surrounding states were all vassals, but he had no choice but to have civil strife more than 200 years ago, although it was finally calmed down, but the national strength was greatly damaged, so that he was unable to suppress the surrounding feudal states.
For example, today's situation, there is a barbarian Wubo man rising in the north, constantly encroaching on the territory of the Longkang Dynasty, while there is Xue Tuoluo in the south and Mirhan in the west, all of which are eyeing the now weak Longkang Dynasty.
However, although Longkang's vitality was greatly damaged, his economic and financial resources still surpassed those of Wuboman and other countries, but the army was weak and it was difficult to fight, so he continued to cede land and pay compensation, and lost the sixteen states of Yanli in the north.
In the last two decades, however, the situation has changed dramatically.
Long Kang's fierce man descended from the sky, and an unborn general Wen Muzhi appeared.
When he was a teenager, he heard that Wu Boman occupied the sixteen states of Yanli, and regarded the people of Longkang as pigs and dogs, and killed 300,000 people in a slaughter of the city.
Wen Muzhi was originally born weak and sickly, but he was a weak scholar, but with such a weak body, he studied hard and was angry all night, and finally won the appreciation of the court and entered the army.
In the following 20 years, Wen Muzhi almost single-handedly led the weak army of Yanbei into a victorious army, and recaptured the land annexed by Wubo man inch by inch, one by one, and took back 14 of Yanli's sixteen states little by little.
It's just a pity that when Wen Muzhi was about to take back all the sixteen states of Yanli, Wu Bo Man felt frightened, hired a master of the rivers and lakes with a lot of money, and invited Gu Zan, the master of Wu Bo Man's martial arts, to set a trap and assassinate Wen Muzhi in Shengjun Mountain.
Although General Wen Muzhi also had Jianghu guards around him, he was defeated by his opponent and was killed by the Wubo master in the Moth Ridge.
After Wen Muzhi's death, the imperial court urgently sent another general to guard Yanli, but neither the army nor the people were optimistic about this new general.
And Wu Boman is famous for his cruelty and bloodshed, if Yan Li Sixteen Prefectures are occupied again, I am afraid that he will still slaughter the city.
So some worried people found their own way, went forward together, and prepared to go south into Tianshui Pass and go to the south to avoid disaster.
Tianshui Pass is a Xiongguan Pass, and a husband should not open it, or it can block the southward movement of Wubo Man.
The scholar Fang Ze rescued was named Zhao Rui, and he also judged that the situation in Yanli Sixteen Prefectures was not optimistic, so he took his wife and family into the customs to avoid trouble.
After the scholar, that is, Zhao Rui, made these things clear, Fang Ze basically adapted to the language spoken by the other party.
"This world pattern is familiar."
A thought came to Fang Ze's heart.
He looked at Zhao Rui and said, "Listen to what you said, this General Wen is a hero." ”
Zhao Rui thought so.
Zhao Rui said: "General Wen has been sick since he was a child, and he is a poor scholar like me, but he has never fallen into the ambition of the clouds, abandoned his pen and became a generation of famous generals. ”
"If you hadn't been assassinated, you would have made great achievements and left a name for generations!"
"I, Zhao Rui, have regarded General Wen as a model since I was a child, and I also want to make some achievements, but I am only shallow in learning, and now I am just a down-and-out scholar, and now I can only go south to avoid trouble, but I have no power to fight back when I encounter gangsters on the road, if it is not for the help of my father-in-law, I am afraid that my wife will be humiliated."
"Come to think of it, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"
When Zhao Rui said this, he couldn't help but sigh and feel a little self-pitying.
Fang Ze didn't answer this, but asked another question that he was more concerned about.
"Just now you said that this General Wen was assassinated by people in the rivers and lakes, and I am a little interested in this."
"In this world, is there a recognized famous master, and what is the strength?"
"Are there any characters who come and go, and can even fly in the sky?"
Zhao Rui came back to his senses, thought for a moment and said: "I am not a person in the rivers and lakes, and I have no friends in the rivers and lakes, so I don't pay much attention, but I can't answer Engong's previous question, and I am afraid of misleading you." ”
"But when it comes to masters, Longkang's national teacher Wen Yuanbo, as well as Lingkong Mountain Taiyi Dao Heavenly Master Zhaoshi B, are all nine-rank masters canonized by the Son of Heaven, and their strength is superb."
"Gu Zan, the martial arts master of Wu Boman, is also a master of the same level according to rumors."
"But how powerful they are, I really don't know how lonely I am."
"As for those who can fly to the sky, I'm afraid it's not the people in the rivers and lakes, but the gods...... I've seen it in Zhiwei novels, and there are rumors that there were such characters in ancient times, but they are all legends, and no one has ever seen them. ”
"At least I've never heard of such a person in reality."
Fang Ze nodded slightly.
He asked these questions, mainly to get a general understanding of the strength level of this side of the world, and the people who could threaten him.
Now it seems that this Dragon Kang Dynasty and the masters of other realms in the world may have strength, but the upper limit will not exceed the realm of heaven and man.
After all, the biggest feature of the realm of heaven and man is that you can fly in the sky.
But you can't underestimate the world's masters.
Although there may not be a master of the Heavenly and Human Realm in this realm, martial arts have also developed for so many years, and there may be some miraculous skills.
Fang Ze himself is certainly powerful, but he still has to be a little careful, don't be careless about anyone's way.
After Fang Ze learned about this, he asked some other topics.
It's just that this Zhao Rui has a limited understanding of the rivers and lakes and martial arts, and what he knows is just some legends, which are of a higher legendary nature, and cannot be used as a reliable basis for intelligence.
Seeing that there was no more effective information, Fang Ze was about to end the conversation.
He asked Zhao Rui about the direction of Yan Li's Sixteen Prefectures.
Fang Ze suddenly had a little fun, and wanted to pretend to be a cold and arrogant martial arts master.
I saw him standing proudly with his hands in his hands, and after a moment he said:
"When I first came down the mountain, I wanted to meet the world's masters."
"Now that the chaos in the sixteen states of Yanli has appeared, there are many heroes in the world gathered, but they can walk and see it."
"What is the point of what you have learned in life if you don't put it into practice? When the wind and clouds meet, the world will make a tide, and there will be a hero in the world. ”
"That Wubo is a man of ancient praise, Wen Yuanbo, the national teacher of Longkang, and Taiyi Dao Heavenly Master Zhaoshi B, I will meet them all and see who is the number one in the world!"
Fang Ze said.
Hearing Fang Ze say this, Zhao Rui didn't know what to say for a while.
For a while, Zhao Rui felt that Fang Ze's tone seemed to be a little too big, but on the other hand, not to mention that Fang Ze had saved Zhao Rui, and judging from Fang Ze's strength just now, he did have real skills.
Zhao Rui looked at it for a moment, and finally in his heart, he faintly felt that maybe this Engong was really confident?
Zhao Rui took a deep breath and said, "I will wish Engongzhi a success in advance." ”
"Engong, if you want to go to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, can you tell me your name?"
"Although I, Zhao Rui, am not talented, and now I am just a down-and-out scholar, but I still have some friends in Shilin."
"In the future, if Engong has a place to get me, I will definitely have a part of my strength, and I will do my part."
Fang Ze nodded slightly.
He thought for a moment and said, "My name is Yuan Feng." ”
"And remember the name."
"In the near future, you will be able to hear my name inside and outside the rivers and lakes."
